Chapter 836: The Soul-Desperate Bell, Goodbye Nangong Mili!

Lu Changsheng had long anticipated that the Heavenly Sword Sect would not easily lend treasures, so he continued, “Apart from the Liang-Yue war, I will not borrow them for nothing.”

“Whether it’s nascent soul spiritual objects, or other resources, natural treasures, Daoist friends can name them.”

As he spoke, Lu Changsheng lightly tapped his storage ring, and jade boxes and porcelain bottles flew out and opened, all filled with nascent soul spiritual objects.

He had collected several portions of nascent soul spiritual objects in his early years.

This time, after killing True Lord Pinghai and others, he obtained two more high-quality nascent soul spiritual objects.

Now, he doesn’t lack nascent soul spiritual objects at all and can use them for trading.

When True Lord Juejian saw Lu Changsheng easily take out five portions of nascent soul spiritual objects, he couldn’t help but look moved.

Twelve years ago, a Core Formation Great True Person from his Heavenly Sword Sect consumed several portions of nascent soul spiritual objects when冲击 (chōngjī, to charge) the nascent soul stage.

Although the Heavenly Sword Sect’s treasure vault still has two portions of nascent soul spiritual objects, they are either of poor quality or their attributes are not compatible.

Among the five portions of nascent soul spiritual objects in Lu Changsheng’s hand, three portions are of ordinary quality, but two portions are obviously of excellent quality at first glance.

Under such circumstances, how could he not be tempted?

However, Lu Changsheng’s display did not stop there.

One after another, rare resources, top-grade magical treasures, and even spiritual treasures appeared in front of True Lord Juejian, making this nascent soul cultivator’s heart tremble, and he couldn’t sit still.

This Great Dream City Lord, True Lord Yangming, is too wealthy, isn’t he?

This is definitely not the wealth that a nascent soul True Lord should have!

However, seeing many magical treasures and spiritual treasures filled with majestic water-attribute spiritual light and aura, True Lord Juejian instantly knew that they most likely came from the nascent soul cultivators he had killed.

This person was not lying; he really killed many nascent soul cultivators!

Even when these nascent soul cultivators’ nascent souls escaped, they couldn’t even take away their storage rings and natal spiritual treasures!

“I know that your sect lacks trust in me, but I came with sincerity.”

“Now that the great calamity is approaching, I am also looking for allies. If your sect is willing to form an alliance with me, we can advance and retreat together in the future.”

Lu Changsheng was not clear about the specific situation of the great calamity.

However, from the many news he had come into contact with, the Liang-Yue war, and the increasing number of war rumors, he had already realized that the current situation in the cultivation world was turbulent and very unstable.

Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for his Lu family to maintain peace in the chaotic world by relying on him alone.

Therefore, he must make friends widely, have many friends, and few enemies.

During his hundred years in the Jiang Kingdom, he had a good impression of the Heavenly Sword Sect, which was the overlord of the Jiang Kingdom, and he quite approved of it.

If the two families could maintain a good relationship and form an alliance, it would not be a bad thing.

True Lord Juejian naturally understood the advantages and disadvantages and was willing to form an alliance with the Great Dream City Lord.

However, the karma and trouble on the other party’s body were too great.

However, thinking of his senior brother’s instructions to search for information related to “sword,” and the peerless sword light previously displayed by the Great Dream City Lord in front of him.

He took a deep breath, and then said solemnly, “City Lord Wang, this True Lord will not beat around the bush.”

“It’s just that the karma and trouble on Daoist friend’s body are too great. I can’t make the decision and must report to my senior brother.”

“The [God Binding Net] is currently in my senior brother’s hands and cannot be lent out. As for other secret treasures that can restrict and affect nascent soul cultivators’ spiritual bodies from escaping, they are all extremely rare, and my Heavenly Sword Sect doesn’t have many of them.”

“However, my sect’s treasure vault has a spiritual treasure called the [Soul Shaking Bell], which can release a ‘soul-shaking wave’ to vibrate and affect cultivators’ divine souls; when cultivators’ nascent souls leave their bodies, it can also cause vibration and interference to the nascent soul spiritual body. If Daoist friend is interested, we can trade.”

True Lord Juejian looked at the nascent soul spiritual objects and natural treasures in front of him and was also quite tempted, willing to trade with Lu Changsheng.

“Soul Shaking Bell?”

Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly, becoming interested.

“Daoist friend, please wait a moment, I will fetch this treasure.” True Lord Juejian said.

“Okay.”

Lu Changsheng responded with a smile, patiently waiting in the hall.

Before long, True Lord Juejian brought a palm-sized bell, its surface covered with mottled bronze rust.

Lu Changsheng glanced at it slightly.

He instantly understood why True Lord Juejian was willing to trade this bell.

This should be an evil Dao spiritual treasure.

Not only does it conflict with the Heavenly Sword Sect’s cultivation methods, but it is also damaged and requires great mana and divine soul power to activate.

It can be said that this spiritual treasure’s effect is really limited, except for slightly vibrating and interfering with the nascent soul spiritual body at the moment of its departure.

However, for Lu Changsheng, this [Soul Shaking Bell] is quite good.

He possesses the [Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus] and is not afraid of mana consumption.

He also possesses the Taiyi Divine Soul, his divine sense comparable to a nascent soul mid-stage cultivator, enough to fully stimulate the power of this spiritual treasure.

In addition to this, he can also recast this [Soul Shaking Bell].

In the 《Divine Machine Hundred Refinements》, there is a top-grade spiritual treasure called the [Soul-Destroying Bell].

Although he cannot refine it, he can use its refining method as a reference, using the [Soul Shaking Bell] as an embryo for recasting and upgrading.

“I want this treasure, Daoist Juejian, name a price.”

Lu Changsheng said.

“This treasure is incomplete and has limited effects. I won’t take advantage of Daoist friend and will exchange it for these two nascent soul spiritual objects and this magical treasure.”

Although Lu Changsheng showed that he urgently needed a method to restrict the nascent soul’s departure, True Lord Juejian did not take the opportunity to drive up the price.

After all, this [Soul Shaking Bell] has been gathering dust in their Heavenly Sword Sect’s treasure vault for hundreds of years.

It’s better to use it for trading than to leave it idle.

Moreover, the Great Dream City Lord in front of him is exceptionally strong and may become their ally and partner in the future. There is really no need to do such a short-sighted thing.

Seeing that True Lord Juejian was so straightforward, Lu Changsheng didn’t haggle too much and directly nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, he threw out another jade slip.

It listed the materials he needed and the natural treasures available for exchange.

As the overlord of the Jiang Kingdom, the Heavenly Sword Sect has a deep foundation with thousands of years of inheritance.

The materials that Lu Changsheng needed were extremely rare, but the Heavenly Sword Sect’s treasure vault directly possessed several of them.

Seeing that Lu Changsheng had many rare resources in his hand, True Lord Juejian took the initiative to say that when he notified his senior brother, he would send this list of resources over to see if the Yue Kingdom had the resources he needed.

Although Lu Changsheng had a lot of karma and trouble on his body.

But just by trading and earning a little price difference, who could trouble his Heavenly Sword Sect?

“Thank you for your trouble, Daoist Juejian.”

Lu Changsheng responded happily, deeply understanding the benefits of networking.

Otherwise, relying solely on the Great Dream Immortal City to slowly purchase and collect them would probably take until the Year of the Monkey.

After completing the transaction, the relationship between the two seemed to be a little closer.

However, True Lord Juejian still had a good sense of propriety and did not ask overly private questions, only asking: “I wonder when Daoist friend expects to finish dealing with the Star Sea matter?”

“A year or two at the earliest, three to five years at the latest.”

Lu Changsheng pondered slightly.

True Lord Juejian’s face froze slightly.

Although three to five years is just a closed-door cultivation period for a nascent soul True Lord.

But in the current situation in the Yue Kingdom, three to five years is very long.

“If the Liang-Yue war really can’t hold on, Daoist Juejian can send a message to my Great Dream Immortal City.”

Lu Changsheng still hoped that the Yue Kingdom could stabilize the current situation.

If the Yue Kingdom was completely defeated and the flames of war spread to the Jiang Kingdom, his Lu family would be completely involved.

“Okay.”

The Absolute Sword True Monarch didn’t take these words to heart, treating them as mere pleasantries.

After all, years ago in Great Dream Immortal City, Lu Changsheng had said similar things, claiming that if he ever needed help, he could seek assistance from him and his wife.

However, when he went to visit and invite him to help in a battle, he made excuses and stalled until now.

The Absolute Sword True Monarch still wanted to inquire about the other party’s future plans and the whereabouts of the Azure Phoenix True Monarch.

But after careful consideration, he didn’t ask, only cupping his hands and saying, “Then I wish you all the best, Fellow Daoist.”

“Good, I will also await news from your esteemed sect.”

With the transaction completed, Lu Changsheng didn’t linger, rising to take his leave.

Subsequently, under the escort of the Absolute Sword True Monarch, he left the Heavenly Sword Sect.

“Buzz!”

Lu Changsheng cupped his hands slightly again, then the Myriad Dust Banner appeared in his hand, stirring up a ripple in the void, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

The newest novels are first published on [Liǔ] 6 [Jiǔ] 9 [Shū] Book Bar!

The Absolute Sword True Monarch’s eyes and pupils suddenly constricted upon seeing this scene.

Although it seemed that Lu Changsheng was using a spiritual treasure, this teleportation technique was very unusual, completely unlike that of a cultivator who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

“Reincarnation and cultivation, or severely injured and re-cultivating?”

The Absolute Sword True Monarch murmured in his heart, thinking of Hong Lian, who seemed to be a Core Formation cultivator but was like a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

He suspected that Lu Changsheng was not reincarnated and re-cultivating, but was originally a Nascent Soul True Monarch, but for some reason, his cultivation realm fell, and now he was returning to Nascent Soul.

Although he had never seen such a thing before, the world of cultivation was vast, and anything could happen.

Mainly, apart from this reason, he really couldn’t imagine what was going on with this Great Dream City Lord, Yangming True Monarch?

Core Formation contending against Nascent Soul!

Breaking through to Nascent Soul for at most twenty years, and then being able to kill multiple Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

Without overthinking, he immediately transmitted the information he had just gathered to the Mysterious Sword True Monarch, who was far away in Yue Country.

Using the Myriad Dust Banner, after escaping for over a thousand miles, Lu Changsheng gently patted the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Sovereign Lotus, releasing the Golden-Winged Roc.

Then, with a thought, he had the Three Treasures Clone travel with the Golden-Winged Roc, while his main body entered the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Sovereign Lotus to rest.

Previously, when condensing the [Supreme Unity Dao Seed], his entire state had not fully recovered.

And besides the spiritual eye spring that he had placed himself, the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Sovereign Lotus also had three third-tier top-grade spiritual eye springs that he had obtained from True Monarch Pinghai and others.

Under such circumstances, the spiritual energy of the cave heaven was enough for him to circulate his Qi and blood and slowly regulate his breath through his magic power.

Moreover, sitting on the Golden-Winged Roc to travel, how could it be as comfortable and pleasant as being in the cave heaven with his wife and children?

However, with the extreme speed of the Golden-Winged Roc, in less than a month, they traversed the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range from the Heavenly Sword Sect and arrived at the Jin Country, the territory of the Five Poison Sect.

“Let’s go.”

Lu Changsheng sensed the situation outside through the Three Treasures Clone, and immediately opened his eyes, bringing his wife Meng Xiaochun, son Lu Minghuang, and daughter Lu Mengchan out of the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Sovereign Lotus.

As for his son Lu Quanzhen.

Considering his personality, and that the spiritual energy in the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Sovereign Lotus was sufficient, he let him continue to cultivate in the cave heaven.

After walking out of the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Sovereign Lotus, Lu Changsheng cast the Yin-Yang Reversal Glazed Wall, bringing them to the outside of the Five Poison Sect’s mountain gate.

Looking at the Five Poison Sect in front of her, Meng Xiaochun felt a sense of trance and emotion.

The Five Poison Sect could be said to be her second home, and she had very deep feelings for it.

If it weren’t for her deep affection for Lu Changsheng, she would never have settled in Jiang Country.

“Dad, Mom, is this the Five Poison Sect?”

Lu Mengchan looked at the colorful, cloud-shrouded, mysterious, and treacherous mountains in front of her, wrinkled her nose, and said.

Although she felt that her magic power was smoother here, she didn’t like this environment, feeling that it wasn’t as clean and comfortable as her own home.

Lu Minghuang looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Five Poison Sect in front of him, his expression complex.

Before the age of thirteen, he had always lived in the Five Poison Sect and had never left.

However, this departure had been for thirty years.

He had very complicated feelings for the Five Poison Sect.

Influenced by the education of Jiang Country and the Lu family, he had some repulsion and disgust for this kind of Demonic Dao force.

But his mother was a Demonic Dao cultivator, a Demonic Sect elder.

He had also grown up in the Demonic Dao since he was a child.

Then, Aunt Meng Xiaochun, who had always taken care of him, was his mother’s disciple, a former true disciple of the Five Poison Sect.

His father, although belonging to the Righteous Dao cultivators, didn’t seem to be so Righteous, and was even somewhat Demonic.

Even his brother Lu Quanzhen, whom he had been getting along with these days, didn’t seem to be from the Righteous Dao.

Under such circumstances, he really didn’t know how to describe his family’s situation, composition, and how to view the Righteous and Demonic Dao.

“The distinction between Righteous and Demonic is in your heart, not in name.”

Lu Changsheng noticed his son’s confusion, placed his hand on his shoulder, and said lightly.

Although Lu Minghuang was not young and had already broken through to Foundation Establishment, he was ultimately a flower in a greenhouse, with too little experience, and was prone to confusion, hesitation, and entanglement in the distinction between Righteous and Demonic.

In his opinion, there was no distinction between Righteous and Demonic.

There was only the distinction between personal ideals and concepts.

“This child understands.” Lu Minghuang naturally knew this principle, and Aunt Meng Xiaochun had told him these things in his early years.

It was just that returning to the Five Poison Sect, he couldn’t help but feel some emotion.

Before long, a streak of purple light flew from the depths of the Five Poison Mountain and instantly appeared in front of Lu Changsheng and others.

This was a beautiful young woman about thirty years old.

She wore a luxurious purple dress, her figure was graceful and peerless, and her whole person exuded a myriad of charms as soon as she appeared.

A beautiful and charming face was unspeakably enchanting, her skin was as white as snow, as delicate as suet jade, and exuded a soft luster, as if it could be broken by a puff of air.

“Hmph!”

The beautiful woman’s phoenix eyes, which seemed to be rippling with waves, saw the heroic man in front of her, and instantly flashed with a cold color, without a good temper.

This dog man had said before that he would bring his son to see her in a while.

But in the blink of an eye, it had been almost twenty years.

If it weren’t for the unrest in the cultivation world these years, and she was closely watched by the Yin Underworld Ghost Sect, she would have rushed to Jiang Country long ago.

Then she looked at the handsome young man next to Lu Changsheng, who was like a woman, and called out softly, “Minghuang?”

Seeing her son, who had matured a lot and had a bit more masculinity, after not seeing him for more than twenty years, she was a little dazed for a while, not daring to recognize him.

“This child has seen Mother.”

Although his mother was a Demonic Dao cultivator, Lu Minghuang still respected her very much.

He remembered his mother’s meticulous cultivation and teaching when he was young.

“Mili.” Lu Changsheng naturally knew that the other party had resentment in her heart because he had brought his son to see her after such a long time.

“Master.” Meng Xiaochun immediately stepped forward affectionately and called out to her master.

“Mengchan has seen Aunt-Master.”

Hearing her mother calling out to her master, Lu Mengchan subconsciously wanted to call her Grandmaster.

But thinking of the relationship between her Grandmaster and her father, she immediately changed her words.

Although Nangong Mili had accumulated resentment towards Lu Changsheng in her heart, she knew that this was not the place to talk, and responded softly to her son and disciple, and then led them into the Five Poison Sect.
