Chapter 94: Can This Be Considered Romantic Luck?

“Not good!”

“Second Brother, Fifth Brother, hold on!”

The four people saw the Heaven and Earth Net gathering from all directions, and the golden bricks falling heavily from above. They abandoned their internal conflicts and focused on self-preservation, each using their own methods.

“Hum hum hum!”

The slender youth riding the flying snake was surrounded by countless insects, which transformed him into a black insect cocoon, as if he was wearing insect armor.

Meanwhile, the three brothers on the blood cloud, with the eldest brother using a hand seal, caused the blood cloud to surge and envelop the three brothers, attempting to break free from the Heaven and Earth Net.

The second brother consecutively activated several Talisman, forming a series of protective shields around him.

The fifth brother, on the other hand, took out a blue, fist-sized bead, which emitted a faint blue light and hovered above his head.

Just at that moment…

“Boom!”

A golden brick, as large as a small mountain, came crashing down towards the four people.

Lu Changsheng saw that the four people’s methods were not simple, so he didn’t hold back. He activated the golden brick to its limits, causing it to fall straight down, intending to crush the four people into meat paste on the ground!

“Indeed, they haven’t died yet!”

Now, at the Qi Refining seventh stage, Lu Changsheng’s control over the Talisman and his spiritual sense had become much stronger.

He could sense that the four people being crushed by the golden brick were still alive, they were still resisting, and were trying to break free from the golden brick and the Heaven and Earth Net’s restraints.

Immediately, he took out another stack of Talisman.

Top-grade Talisman, Heaven and Earth Net Talisman!

Top-grade Talisman, Chaotic Law Talisman!

High-grade Talisman, Binding Talisman!

High-grade Talisman, Earth Prison Talisman!

Two Heaven and Earth Net Talismans flew out, forming a black net that enveloped the golden brick from all directions, preventing the four people from escaping.

The Chaotic Law Talisman could affect the spiritual energy of Qi Refining cultivators, causing their internal energy to become disordered.

The Binding Talisman could restrain and bind others’ bodies, affecting their movements.

One Chaotic Law Talisman and four Binding Talismans transformed into a rainbow light, shooting towards the golden brick, disrupting and influencing the four people’s resistance.

Next, Lu Changsheng had the steel-feathered eagle rapidly dive down, aiming to cast the Earth Prison Talisman at the spot where the golden brick was about to fall.

But at this moment, the steel-feathered eagle was intimidated by the golden brick’s might so it let out a frightened cry and did not dare to approach.

“Damn it!”

Lu Changsheng glared at the cowardly steel-feathered eagle, he then threw out a flying magical weapon, and jumped onto the round wheel, quickly flying down to cast the Earth Prison Talisman.

He directly solidified the ground, transforming it into a prison, to prevent the four people from escaping at the moment of impact!

After finishing, Lu Changsheng took out another stack of attack Talismans.

If the four people still hadn’t died and had any remaining energy, he would launch another wave of firepower.

Just then…

“Boom!!!”

The golden brick fell from the sky and landed on the ground, creating a shocking, earth-shaking sound.

The entire mountain range seemed to tremble violently, causing the flying demonic beasts around the mountain to be frightened and scatter.

The already frightened steel-feathered eagle, upon hearing the deafening sound, let out a cry and flapped its wings, as if it was about to fall.

Lu Changsheng didn’t pay attention to the steel-feathered eagle. He gazed at the golden brick that stood on the ground like a small golden mountain and his eyes narrowed.

“Are they dead?”

At this moment, he couldn’t be certain if the four people had died or not.

After all, from their previous performance, it was clear that the four people’s methods were not simple.

If not for his Talismans blocking their path, they might have escaped from the golden brick’s attack.

“It’s a pity I don’t understand formations, and I don’t have an array device. Otherwise, I could have set up a formation and made it much safer.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

He took out another stack of Talismans from his storage bag.

High-grade Talisman, Earth Trap Fire Rocket Talisman!

High-grade Talisman, Blue Silver Binding Talisman!

Top-grade Talisman, Chaotic Law Talisman!

He set up four traps in the four directions of the golden brick.

As soon as someone made a move, they would trigger the Earth Trap Fire Rocket Talisman and the Blue Silver Binding Talisman.

At the same time, blue vines would entangle and pierce, combining with the fire rocket attack.

As for the Chaotic Law Talisman, it was to be used in conjunction with the attack Talismans in his hand, to disrupt the four people’s spiritual energy and then launch a firepower attack.

After finishing his preparations, Lu Changsheng’s spiritual sense stirred, and he slowly lifted the golden brick into the air.

If the four of them are still alive, he can just smash it again without activating the talisman.

As the golden brick rose, a massive pit, several dozen feet deep and wide, appeared.

Lu Changsheng stood tall and straight on the flying magic weapon. He slowly stepped forward and looked into the huge pit.

Inside the pit, the three brothers in the black cloud had already been crushed into meat paste. They were dead beyond recognition.

The youth who had transformed into a black insect cocoon had also become dry and lifeless.

The purple flying snake beside him was also a bloody mess.

Lu Changsheng used his spiritual sense to detect and confirm that the three lumps of meat and the insect cocoon, as well as the purple snake, had no remaining energy, and only then did he feel at ease.

However, out of extreme caution, Lu Changsheng conjured up a series of fireballs in his palm and shot them towards the massive pit.

Cultivators have many methods, and these four people were not simple, so he still had to be careful.

Only when they were reduced to ashes could he be certain they were truly dead.

Under the fireballs, the three lumps of meat and the flying snake’s meat were quickly incinerated, leaving only remnants.

The black insect cocoon also crackled and popped under the flames.

However, suddenly the black cocoon shook violently, and a slender figure shot out from within, leaping out of the deep pit.

But the next moment, several blue vines rapidly emerged from the ground, binding the figure.

At the same time, several fire rockets appeared out of thin air, shooting towards the youth.

Lu Changsheng, standing on the round wheel, was also shocked by this scene.

He didn’t expect the youth to still be alive, and his hand instinctively shot out a Talisman.

“You’re crazy! Are you not afraid of death?”

The youth’s face changed drastically, looking extremely ugly.

It was as if Ximen Qing was caught in the act of adultery with Pan Jinlian, and Wu Dalang had brought Wu Er to catch them in the act.

He had never seen someone like this before.

They would use Talismans without hesitation, as if they were worthless.

Do you think Talismans are worthless?

He felt regret and remorse in his heart.

What was he thinking, playing with fire and causing trouble?

Now he was going to suffer the consequences.

Not only would he suffer heavy losses, but he might also end up dying here.

He immediately slapped his palm, using a top-grade Talisman, the Golden Light Protection Talisman, to envelop his body in golden light.

At the same time, he took out a blue, round bead and held it above his head and shouted, “If you make another move, I’ll detonate this Heavenly Thunderbolt! We’ll die together!”

“Heavenly Thunderbolt?”

Lu Changsheng heard this and looked at the blue, walnut-sized bead in the youth’s hand and his eyes narrowed as he stopped his attack.

He had never seen a Heavenly Thunderbolt before.

But he had read about it in books.

Legend had it that the Heavenly Thunderbolt was created by a Nascent Soul True Lord, condensing the power of heaven and earth’s thunder and lightning. Each one possessed immense power.

Even a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator would be reduced to ashes if they faced it head-on.

He didn’t expect the youth to have a Heavenly Thunderbolt.

“Friend, we have no grudges, why must we make such a fuss?”

“We didn’t know each other before, but now we do. Let’s just end this matter here, how about it?”

The youth looked at Lu Changsheng, who had stopped his attack, and spoke.

“How can you say we have no grudges?”

“I was just passing by, and if not for your trouble-making, would I have wasted so many Talismans?”

Lu Changsheng’s expression was calm and cold as he spoke.

“What trouble-making? I’m just simply making friends with you, fellow cultivator.”

“And that Foundation Establishment spirit object is enough to compensate for your losses.”

The youth smiled awkwardly.

“Heh heh.”

Lu Changsheng held onto his Talisman, letting out a cold laugh.

“What do you want to do?”

The youth heard the cold laugh and felt a bit of anger.

He had never been treated so unfairly before.

Today, not only had he almost been killed, but now he was also forced to beg for mercy, and the other party was still speaking coldly.

“Compensation!”

“Just give me enough compensation, and I’ll let you go.”

Lu Changsheng directly ignored his attitude, taking out another stack of top-grade Talismans, and spoke coldly.

If he were to back down because of the Heavenly Thunderbolt, the initiative would fall into the other party’s hands.

He didn’t believe the other party would really die together with him.

Moreover, he was taking out so many top-grade Talismans to intimidate.

Letting the other party know that this so-called “dying together” was just a threat, and he might not necessarily die.

The youth heard this and felt a faint pressure from the golden light above, seeing the stack of Talismans in Lu Changsheng’s hand.

He knew he couldn’t escape.

Today, if he didn’t give in, it would be difficult to resolve the situation peacefully.

He took a deep breath, took out a jade box from his waist, and tossed it towards Lu Changsheng.

“There’s a Heavenly Heart Lotus inside, also a Foundation Establishment spirit object, which helps with the birth of a divine sense. It should be enough to compensate for your losses, right?”

Lu Changsheng used his spiritual power to wrap around the jade box, checking it briefly.

Then, he opened it and looked inside, seeing a snow-white lotus flower emitting a faint, soft glow.

As soon as the jade box was opened, a refreshing, heart-soothing fragrance wafted out, invigorating one’s spirit.

Good stuff!

Lu Changsheng immediately closed the jade box, knowing that this spirit object had to be stored in a precious box like this, or its effects would be lost.

Then, he looked at the youth and spoke calmly, “Give me another Foundation Establishment spirit object that benefits the physical body, and this matter will be settled.”

“You think Foundation Establishment spirit objects are as common as dirt, and I can just take them out whenever I want?”

The youth was angry when he heard this.

Didn’t he know that one Foundation Establishment spirit object was worth two to three thousand spirit stones?

And it was priceless, to boot.

He had already collected two, which was already very good.

Lu Changsheng didn’t believe him, his face filled with suspicion as he sized up the youth.

After all, when he had caused trouble earlier, he had taken out a Foundation Establishment spirit object without hesitation.

Now, it’s another Foundation Establishment spirit treasure.

Under the attack of his own Talisman treasure and so many Talismans, he didn’t die, which is simply astonishing.

Now, he can still take out the Heavenly Thunderbolt, which is no ordinary treasure.

“What are you looking at? Are you going to let me go or not?”

The young man, under Lu Changsheng’s scrutiny, also became angry.

“I’m looking at how you just controlled so many insects, you must have an insect-controlling technique, right?”

“How about the inheritance of insect-controlling technique, and we’ll call it quits.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t want to push the other party too far.

Desperate people will do anything.

Thinking about the insect-controlling technique the other party just used, he felt a spark of interest in his heart.

He thought to himself that he could also raise some insects.

“This won’t do, this is a secret technique of my family.”

The young man directly refused.

Then, he added, “But I can give you a Beast Taming inheritance.”

“Beast Taming inheritance? What level?”

Lu Changsheng asked upon hearing this.

He had been wanting to get a Beast Taming technique.

To see if he could accelerate the growth of the Nine Netherworld Hound.

However, he had inquired about it in the market before and found that knowledge was strictly controlled in this world.

Whether it was cultivation techniques or inheritance of immortal arts, it was all the same.

A first-level inheritance was still manageable, as long as you were willing to spend money, you could still buy it.

But anything higher than that wasn’t something you could buy with just money.

Of course, Lu Changsheng also knew that this was because he hadn’t reached that stage yet.

“A second-level Beast Taming inheritance.”

The young man said.

“Alright.”

Lu Changsheng nodded upon hearing this.

Let’s see if this Beast Taming inheritance was useful to him.

If it wasn’t, a second-level Beast Taming inheritance would still be worth a lot of money.

Immediately, the young man took out a jade slip from his storage bag and tossed it to Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng used his spiritual power to wrap the jade slip and checked it briefly.

Then, he roughly glanced at it, and inside, there were methods for cultivating and taming demonic beasts.

“Alright, you can go!”

Lu Changsheng put away the jade slip and said directly.

The young man was taken aback upon hearing this.

He didn’t expect Lu Changsheng to be so straightforward.

He didn’t hesitate either, tossing out a flying magical weapon, standing on it, and then cautiously looking at Lu Changsheng before slowly leaving.

Lu Changsheng also gazed at the young man.

Only after seeing him leave did he let out a sigh of relief.

He raised his hand and summoned the damaged robes, boots, and storage bag from the deep pit.

Then, he put away the Golden Light Brick Talisman treasure.

At this time, the Talisman treasure had dimmed significantly.

Lu Changsheng estimated that with such an explosive burst, it could only be used six or seven more times.

If he were to use it at full power at the Foundation Establishment stage, it would probably only last two times.

Lu Changsheng didn’t feel heartbroken and put away the Talisman treasure.

Then, he began to search for the magical weapons that had fallen to the ground, as well as the two people’s magical weapons and corpses.

After all, these were all valuable items.

After searching for about half an hour, Lu Changsheng found two bodies that were like mud.

He took out the damaged robes and storage bags from their bodies, and then helped them return to the earth.

“Alas, this time, although I was forced into a desperate situation, I also had some greedy thoughts.”

“I thought about killing people and snatching treasures to quickly get rich.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself after collecting the items.

He clearly recognized that he had tasted the sweetness of killing people and snatching treasures in the past two instances.

So, he also had some thoughts about such things.

However, this time, it had also made him more cautious.

Even with the Talisman treasure and a pile of high-quality, top-grade Talisman’s, it didn’t mean he was invincible in the Qi Refining period.

Like the young man just now, his methods were astonishingly powerful.

Under the attack of the Talisman treasure and so many Talisman’s, he was still alive, which was simply astonishing.

Lu Changsheng still couldn’t understand how the other party had done it.

“Don’t underestimate anyone in the world; it’s better to be more cautious and steady, and not to be too hasty in everything.”

Lu Changsheng warned himself.

He was about to find a place to count his spoils.

Suddenly, he felt a wave of aura fluctuations coming from afar.

He looked up.

It was the young man who had just left.

Suddenly, a stack of Talisman’s appeared in his hand.

“Wait, fellow Daoist, I came to propose a cooperation with you.”

The young man looked at Lu Changsheng and hurriedly raised his hand to speak.

“Cooperation?”

Lu Changsheng’s eyebrows furrowed.

He felt that this person was crazy.

They had just fought to the death, and now he was coming to propose a cooperation?

“I’m planning to explore a True Person’s cave, so I want to cooperate with you and explore it together.”

The young man opened his mouth to say.

“No interest.”

Lu Changsheng directly refused.

He already felt that he had been too greedy in killing people and snatching treasures, and he couldn’t do such things in the future.

Where would he go to explore some cave?

Not to mention a True Person’s cave.

Even if it were a Nascent Soul True Lord’s cave, he wouldn’t be interested.

In the cultivation world, you coveted the treasures left behind by your predecessors, while others coveted your life.

“Fellow Daoist, I won’t hide it from you, this True Person’s cave is a legacy left behind by my ancestors.”

“There’s a Bloodline Treasure inside that I need very much, but I lost a lot of my treasure just now, and I don’t have the confidence to do it alone, so I’m inviting you to join me.”

“I’m sincerely inviting you to explore the secret realm with me, and besides this Bloodline Treasure, I can let you choose other things first. There should be some Foundation Establishment spirit treasures inside.”

The young man didn’t expect Lu Changsheng to directly refuse without even thinking about it, and he continued to speak.

He had been accumulating strength just to explore this cave.

Who would have thought that he would be targeted by the Five Evils of the Kou Clan?

Originally, he thought that by creating a diversion, he could reduce his losses, but it ended up bringing trouble upon himself.

Under Lu Changsheng’s methods, he suffered even more losses.

Not only did his pet snake die, but his trained Black Pattern Worms also died, leaving him with fewer life-saving methods.

If it weren’t for the urgent need for this treasure, he wouldn’t have come to cooperate with Lu Changsheng.

“No interest, go find someone else.”

Lu Changsheng still shook his head and said.

He would have to be crazy to do such a thing.

For him, the risks and rewards of such a thing were completely disproportionate.

Not to mention cooperating with someone he didn’t know, and who even had a grudge against him.

Now, it was better to clean up his spoils and hurry back to Jiulong Market to enjoy his life.

“I know what you’re worried about, I have a Blood Contract.”

“We can sign a contract, and during the exploration process, neither of us can harm the other, or else the Blood Contract will explode, and we’ll directly die.”

The young man continued to speak.

“I said, I’m not interested in this kind of cave.”

Lu Changsheng’s hand was holding a stack of Talisman, and his voice turned colder.

Even if the other party said it would be a great opportunity, he wouldn’t go.

Seeing Lu Changsheng’s attitude, the young man coldly snorted and drove his flying magical weapon away.

“Hmm?”

Just as the young man left, Lu Changsheng felt a faint movement from the Peach Blossom Gu on his forehead.

It was as if it was telling him that he had missed a Romantic Luck.

“Romantic Luck?”

Lu Changsheng was stunned, feeling a bit confused.

He didn’t understand what was going on.

How did refusing the young man’s invitation to explore the cave mean that he had missed a Romantic Luck?

“Isn’t Romantic Luck only for the opposite sex?”

“Wait, could it be that the young man just now was actually a girl in disguise?”

Lu Changsheng’s mind seemed to have guessed something.

“First, we didn’t get along, then we went on a adventure together, and because we encountered danger, we finally developed feelings for each other?”

Lu Changsheng’s face revealed a strange expression.

“Hmph, what woman would need me, Lu Changsheng, to personally pursue her, and then go on a life-or-death adventure together?”

“Isn’t the White Jade Tower enough?”

Lu Changsheng’s face showed disdain, and he didn’t have the slightest regret in his heart.

He immediately took out a Hundred-Mile Invisibility Talisman and quickly left to find a place to count his spoils.
