Supreme Dragon Martial Soul - Chapter 591 - 267: Farewell, Lu Shaojing!
Chapter 591: Chapter 267: Farewell, Lu Shaojing!
Qin Yu and the other three are just ordinary core disciples, and Luo Cheng didn’t hold much hope for their wealth.
After all, with cultivation reaching the Late Stage of Awakening Vein Realm, the daily expenses for training are very high, consuming at least ten Essence Energy Pills every day, not to mention the various costs of purchasing Spirit Pills and Treasures, making it hard to accumulate wealth.
After a rough count, it was beyond Luo Cheng’s expectations.
The wealth on the four of them, just in Gold Notes alone, was fifty to sixty million taels, over twenty thousand Essence Energy Pills, valued at two billion taels!
This is not even counting other things like Spiritual Medicine, Spirit Pills, secret manuals, or rare treasures!
The total value exceeds ten billion taels!
This would be a considerable wealth for the majority of core disciples in the Three Great Sects.
But Luo Cheng didn’t know that most of this wealth was plundered by Qin Yu and the other three.
They were sent by Jin Min to search for Luo Cheng’s whereabouts and couldn’t go to the Black Cloud Mountain Range to kill Blood Nether Sect disciples like other core disciples to earn wealth, which made them unhappy. Coupled with the wearing fatigue from constant chasing, their anger and resentment grew daily.
Finally, at Qin Yu’s suggestion, the four decided to rob others at Mingxia Lake to earn wealth.
After all, the forces at Mingxia Lake are complex, with all kinds of people from the three teachings and nine schools; things like killing and robbing are common occurrences.
Yet, the four never expected to encounter Luo Cheng here.
“It’s like having a pillow handed to you when you’re sleepy.”
Luo Cheng smiled slightly and put away the storage ring.
Most of his previous wealth was used to purchase Soul Crystals, leaving only a few hundred Essence Energy Pills behind; being so poor, the phrase “being penniless” would not be an exaggeration.
This ten billion wealth was truly like a gift in time of need.
Of course, wealth was secondary; the biggest gain this time was undoubtedly the Blood Essence Yuan Pearl.
This pearl contains pure blood energy; it is a spiritual object for replenishing blood and nurturing flesh!
If caught in a life-and-death battle, the Blood Essence Yuan Pearl can minimize the side effects of the Blood Burning Pill; it’s truly a lifesaving item.
No matter how much wealth one has, how can it compare to the importance of life?
Storing everything properly, Luo Cheng lifted his gaze towards the distant north, a cold light flickering in his eyes:
“Sending three Xuanhe List experts to investigate my whereabouts, Jin Min, you really think highly of me! Never mind, today I’ll use these people as an example!”
The first thing Luo Cheng planned to do upon returning to the sect.
Was to settle his grievances with Jin Min!
These people who pursued him under Jin Min’s orders naturally couldn’t be spared!
Swoosh!
His figure shivered, and Luo Cheng soared up into the clouds, swiftly shooting towards the north, leaving only a faint shadow in the sky.
Linxia City!
This is a small city north of Mingxia Lake, with a population of millions. Due to its proximity to Mingxia Lake, it’s populated by many strong and wealthy individuals from the lake, making it appear very prosperous.
At the city’s northernmost point, stands a five-story tavern with white jade and gold adorning the rooftop. Under the sunlight, it glitters dazzlingly!
This is the most luxurious tavern in Linxia City, the Golden Summit Building!
The fifth floor of the Golden Summit Building offers a grand view of Mingxia Lake. Those qualified to enter are either wealthy or influential, many being Awakening Vein Realm experts.
At this moment, at the window on the fifth floor, nine young talents were drinking and chatting.
The nine had outstanding temperaments, clinking glasses with great excitement, attracting sideways glances from many.
“Oh, that’s Qi Heng, a genius ranked 193rd on the Xuanhe List from the Xuanyuan Sect! And there’s Meng Yunchong, ranked 217th on the Xuanhe List! There are actually two Xuanhe List geniuses here.”
A middle-aged Awakening Vein Realm expert instantly recognized two of the nine.
“Not just two.”
Someone beside him added, “That young man in brocade is Lu Shaojing, who just recently made it onto the Xuanhe List. His momentum is strong, already ranked 420th!”
Someone inquired with curiosity, “Strange, lately, most of the Three Great Sects’ experts have gone to the Black Cloud Mountain Range to search for Blood Nether Sect bases. It’s surprising that three Xuanhe List disciples are here!”
Upon hearing this, a man with a square face and broad nose whispered, “From what I know, lately they’ve been searching everywhere for news about Luo Cheng! These people are Crown Prince Hall disciples from the Xuanyuan Sect, and Qi Heng is a member of the Qi Family in the Imperial City. It seems they’re here for Luo Cheng!”
“Luo Cheng? Wasn’t he hunted by Jile Sect’s disciple Mu Qinglian, left with no corpse? Could it be that he’s still alive?”
“How is that possible! What realm is Luo Cheng in, and Mu Qinglian is a top Awakening Vein Realm expert; if Luo Cheng fell into her hands, there’s absolutely no chance of survival.”
The square-faced, broad-eared middle-aged man shook his head.
With Eldest Prince Jin Tiandu releasing the news of Luo Cheng being pursued by Mu Qinglian and disappearing.
This news spread at an astonishing speed, and many people have been discussing Luo Cheng as a topic over meals this month.
After all, when Luo Cheng emerged, he took the first place in the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition, causing quite a sensation!
Clearly having awakened a Wasted Martial Soul that everyone had doubts about, yet he forcefully suppressed Fierce Cloud Sect’s super genius Hua Jingyang, and within the year, advanced to being a core disciple of Xuanyuan Sect!
Such feats are hard to forget.
One could say, some Xuanhe List genius disciples aren’t as famous as Luo Cheng.
As this month passed, Luo Cheng vanished without a trace, leading many to believe he had already been killed by Mu Qinglian!
The nine Xuanyuan Sect core disciples thought likewise.
“Senior Brother Jin Min is too cautious; Luo Cheng is merely at the Sixth Layer of the Awakening Vein Realm, and was pursued by Mu Qinglian, it’s ten deaths and no life, probably already left to rot in the wild. Having us look for his whereabouts is simply unnecessary.”
“Senior Brother Qi Heng, when are we going back?”
The nine core disciples complained much about this mission, drinking and voicing their dissatisfaction, while someone asked the young man sitting at the main seat.
The young man stood over 1.9 meters tall, with a handsome appearance, donned in gold-trimmed brocade clothing, regal and noble, he drank a sip of wine and said blandly:
“With no news for so long, surely this Luo Cheng has already perished. Once Qin Yu and the others join us, we’ll head back!”
“Hehe! I’m actually hoping he’s not dead; wasting my time for so long, if he falls into my hands, I’ll make sure to cut him into pieces!” a vicious-faced robust young man sneered.
Upon hearing this, Lu Shaojing, sitting opposite, flickered his eyes and lowered his head to drink, hiding his expression.
The robust youth was merely an Awakening Vein Realm Early Stage expert, not on the Xuanhe List, far beneath him compared to Luo Cheng.
Of course, Lu Shaojing wouldn’t speak these words aloud.
The defeat to Luo Cheng in the Imperial City was not a glorious affair, and he had never mentioned it to anyone.
“Why aren’t Qin Yu and the others here yet?”
As time went on, some grew impatient waiting.
At this moment.
Thud thud thud!
Footsteps sounded from the staircase entrance, followed by a clear voice.
“They probably won’t be coming…”
The voice was soft, but everyone on the fifth floor heard it and turned their gaze towards it.
After a brief moment, a young man appeared in everyone’s view.
In blue attire, with a sword at his waist, a handsome face and gentle, jade-like eyes, a youthful vigor subtly revealed a sharpness that couldn’t be ignored.
“Luo Cheng!”
Seeing the arrival, several Xuanyuan Sect core disciples stood up abruptly, filled with murderous intent!
