Chapter 525: Chapter 485 The Clue of the Four-Hundred-Year Spirit Medicine_1
"They all died at the hands of Lu Chuan?" After a long silence, a Nascent Soul cultivator broke the silence.
The Vice Sect Leader waved his hand, and the soul lamps of Voracious Wolf, Army Destroyer, and Seven Kills displayed the scenes before their deaths.
All of them involved Lu Chuan!
The only difference was that in the scene prior to Voracious Wolf’s death, there was a girl with Lu Chuan. freёnovelkiss.com
It was enough to indicate that all three deaths were related to Lu Chuan!
This gave the Nascent Soul cultivators a sense of trepidation; even a Grade 8 Nascent Soul would likely have to avoid the combined might of Voracious Wolf, Army Destroyer, and Seven Kills. They couldn’t comprehend how Lu Chuan had managed to kill all three of them.
Previously looking down on Lu Chuan, seeing him as nothing more than a wild cultivator, the group now had to take him seriously.
At this point, someone asked, "If all three of them died at Lu Chuan’s hands, do we... still need to send more people to take revenge?"
Upon hearing this, everyone began to exchange glances, clearly showing their reluctance to go.
Especially the Grade 8 Nascent Soul experts present, although they were stronger than Voracious Wolf, Army Destroyer, and Seven Kills, the fact that Lu Chuan had killed them while they were together proved that the young man must possess some terrifying trump card.
These Grade 8 Nascent Souls were used to being high and mighty, and none of them wanted to do something that would unnecessarily increase their risk. Even if they had a chance to kill Lu Chuan, none were willing to make a move.
One of the Grade 8 Nascent Souls glanced around, looked at the Vice Sect Leader, and said, "Who would have thought that Lu Chuan would be so difficult to deal with, with even the combined force of Voracious Wolf and the others failing against him. There must be something strange at play. Vice Sect Leader, to be on the safe side, why don’t you personally take action and capture Lu Chuan? That way, we can also reduce some of the Penglai Immortal Domain’s losses. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately echoed in agreement.
The Vice Sect Leader stared at the image of Lu Chuan for a while before murmuring, "Lu Chuan has killed many members of my Penglai Immortal Domain, of course, he cannot be let go. However, I’ve had some insights recently and plan to go into seclusion. Since that’s the case, let’s discuss the matter of Lu Chuan after I come out of my retreat."
...
At the Han family.
In Lu Chuan’s room.
Lu Chuan lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.
After a while, Han Qingci poked her head out from under the covers, her cheeks flushed, and said, "Brother Lu Chuan, are you not up to it anymore? Why is there no reaction no matter how much I try?"
Lu Chuan looked down at Han Qingci, reached under the covers and pinched her buttocks, and said, "We’ve done it eight times today, even a work team’s donkey gets a rest, do you want to tire me out to death?"
Han Qingci instantly said with an embarrassed face, "Qingci, Qingci just misses Brother Lu Chuan too much, and without any other way to express it, had to resort to this. If Brother Lu Chuan is tired, then Qingci will let you rest for a while."
Lu Chuan rolled his eyes at her and said, "Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t do that with me until Ling’er woke up? Aren’t you breaking your promise now?"
Han Qingci blushed and said, "I read online that some things, if not used for a long time, might go bad and need regular maintenance. I... I’m just performing maintenance for Ling’er, so it can’t be considered breaking the promise."
Lu Chuan couldn’t help laughing and crying at the same time, never expecting Han Qingci to become so mischievous. He really didn’t know who she might have learned that from.
He didn’t speak further, instead, he continued to ponder.
Having killed Army Destroyer and the other two, he knew that Penglai Immortal Domain would definitely not let him off. They would surely send even more powerful people after him next time. And the reason he managed to kill Army Destroyer and his companions was because he relied on his life-saving trump cards. Now that the jade pendant his mother left behind was gone, and the Tower Spirit had fallen into a deep slumber, if he encountered three Grade 7 Nascent Soul experts again, he would have no hope of turning the tables.
Therefore, what mattered most to him now was to urgently increase his strength.
If he could consume the Nine Heavens Profound Fire, his realm would inevitably see a significant improvement, and his combat power would multiply. The only issue was that the four-hundred-year Spiritual Medicine needed for refining the Meridian Protecting Pill had been given to Zhong Ling’er, so if he wanted to consume the Nine Heavens Profound Fire now, he would have to find another four-hundred-year-old or older Spiritual Medicine.
Apart from that, he also needed to find enough Heaven and Earth Treasures or Spiritual Medicine to awaken the Tower Spirit within three months. Otherwise, if the great demons suppressed inside the Demon Suppression Pagoda were to break the seals, the ones suffering wouldn’t just be him, but the entire world.
He was currently troubled about where to find a four-hundred-year spirit herb.
Seeing Lu Chuan deep in thought, Han Qingci asked, "Brother Lu Chuan, what are you thinking about? You seem to have something on your mind."
Lu Chuan replied with a smile, "Yes, I’m worrying about where to find a four-hundred-year spirit herb to address my urgent need to enhance my strength. If I can make a breakthrough this time, my ability to fend off danger will reach a new level."
Hearing this, Han Qingci murmured, "Four-hundred-year spirit herb... I think I know where to find one."
Lu Chuan’s eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly asked, "You know where to find a four-hundred-year spirit herb?"
Han Qingci nodded and explained, "I heard from Sister Nangong earlier that one of her good friends ran into a bit of trouble and needed someone to help solve it. It seems the reward is a four-hundred-year spirit herb."
Lu Chuan, puzzled, asked, "Who is Sister Nangong?"
Han Qingci said, "That’s Nangong Duoduo. You even helped her with the haunted ancestral shrine before."
Only then did Lu Chuan remember Nangong Duoduo. He hadn’t expected Han Qingci to still be in contact with the young miss of the Nangong family. With some suspicion, he asked, "You’re still keeping in touch with her? I recall that after handling the matter at the ancestral shrine, she left Cathay to return to the Nangong family overseas. How do you know about her friend’s situation?"
Han Qingci looked visibly guilty and couldn’t meet Lu Chuan’s eyes; she stammered, "Well... after you had me massage her last time, I asked for her contact information. We have quite a lot in common, so we chat frequently. The other day when I called her, she mentioned her friend’s issue."
Lu Chuan’s eyes widened. "Qingci, you wouldn’t... actually have any designs on her, would you?"
Han Qingci quickly began to explain with some urgency, "No! Absolutely not! Sister Nangong and I are just very good friends, Qingci would never do anything to upset Brother Lu Chuan. If you don’t trust me, I just won’t contact her anymore."
Seeing Han Qingci’s reaction, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Alright, alright, I believe you. Give me Nangong Duoduo’s phone number, and I’ll ask her about her friend’s issue."
Han Qingci nodded hurriedly.
Lu Chuan got Nangong Duoduo’s number and called her straight away, introducing himself and mentioning what he had heard from Han Qingci about her friend.
"Miss Nangong, do you know if your friend’s trouble has been resolved? I’m in need of a four-hundred-year spirit herb, so if not, I might be able to help," he said.
Nangong Duoduo replied, "Her trouble hasn’t been resolved yet. But if you want to help her, you’ll need to come overseas. Also... her issue is a bit strange; it might not be so easy to resolve."
