The So-Called Fairy

After a few seconds of silence, Su Qing picked up a wad of "cloth" and showed it to him:

"Should True Master Lu recognize this?"

"The Righteousness Banner!"

Lu Li immediately recognized it as the Righteousness Banner he had given to Nan Jinping before their parting!

Old Master Nan has fallen into their hands!?

But Su Qing said:

"This matter has nothing to do with me, but I know some information that I would like to sell to True Master Lu. Would you do me the honor of discussing this in person?"

Lu Li immediately took over "Number 0's " body, uttering a hoarse voice. "Where shall we meet?"

Upon hearing his agreement, Su Qing's smile widened even more:

"There is a Moon Reflection Lake not far to the north. I will go there alone, and I hope the real person will do the same, so as not to let outsiders get in the way."

Having said that, the woman leaped and disappeared into the horizon with a whoosh.

Lu Li then told his wife about the situation.

Xia Weiyin's face paled. "Something really happened! I had a bad feeling about it..."

Lu Li comforted her, "Since Su Qing dared to make demands, there should still be room for negotiation. I'll go and meet her."

"No! She's Grandmaster!"

Xia Weiyin said urgently, "I'll ask Master to think of a way, you mustn't take any risks!"

Lu Li smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, if I spare no expense, one or two Grandmaster might not return alive."

There are still 260 units of spiritual energy within the Kunlun Mirror. Even if only half of it is unleashed, Grandmaster would definitely not be able to withstand it.

Xia Weiyin was well aware that her young husband possessed formidable abilities; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to intimidate Jiang Shixiang, the Governor of Jinmen.

Moreover, he was a Nascent Soul cultivator, Spirit Refinement perception and the Heavenly Eye, making it impossible for his opponent to ambush him...

Xia Weiyin simply stopped interfering and instead helped analyze the situation:

"Su Qing comes from the Mount Tai Sect, and her cultivation requires the power of vows. During the previous sword duel, she was very dissatisfied with Qinglong's squandering of the Golden Lotus of Vow Power. Now she must be trying to gain benefits from you."

"The power of will..."

This energy contains chaotic emotions and can affect one's mind, which Lu Li disdains.

Having already received 500 million, there's still 300 million unused in the Kunlun Mirror, which could be put to good use.

"I'm going right now."

Lu Li to his wife, then took off and headed towards Yingyue Lake in the east.

Halfway there, he summoned the Kunlun Mirror and, with a thought, gave the order:

[Take one hundred million units of wish power and infuse them into the flying swords]

The flying sword had long since become picky, and it looked down on ordinary wishes.

But when their owner gives the order, they certainly won't resist and will willingly become temporary containers.

The surface of the Kunlun Mirror surged with golden light, quickly channeling the power of one hundred million wishes.

After finishing his work, Lu Li continued on his way.

The physical body does not conform to aerodynamic design; with the current level of cultivation, the flight speed is only 800 kilometers per hour.

But Yingyue Lake isn't far either, only 100 kilometers away, a mere seven or eight minutes' drive.

Located in a remote area, a woman in a green dress could be seen standing on a small island in the middle of the lake from afar.

Her appearance was beautiful and ethereal, like that of a fairy; it was none other than Su Qing.

With a sweep of his Heavenly Eye, he found no one around Lu Li directly, standing five steps away from the Female Grandmaster.

The distance was too close; with a master's Mach burst, it would truly be over in an instant.

Su Qing's eyes flashed with a cold light, but her voice was unusually gentle and soft. "True Master Lu arrived very quickly, and he's quite bold."

Lu Li didn't answer, but asked directly, "I want to know the information. What are your conditions?"

"Just give me two of those flying swords you have~"

Su Qing smiled calmly, as if she had only made a trivial request.

Lu Li remained expressionless. "I don't have time to waste on this. Just tell me your real needs."

The two were so close they could even smell each other's scent. Su Qing breathed softly and said:

"True Master Lu is very confident. Has he never witnessed the power of a Grandmaster before?"

Her gaze sharpened, transforming into a heavy sense of oppression that rapidly eroded Lu Li's protective mental state.

Jiang Shixiang had also used this tactic, but this woman's pressure was slightly less.

Lu Li frowned and said:

"Su Qing, killing you would be as easy as turning my hand, but it's not worth it."

A light shone from between Lu Li's brows, indicating that the Kunlun Mirror's [Extinction] Divine Ability was ready!

A large flock of birds took flight in fright, and the fish in the lake jumped and splashed wildly, as if a natural disaster were about to strike.

Su Qing felt a tingling and numb sensation in her forehead, as her precuneus lobe issued a strong warning of impending danger.

Her expression hardened, and she thought to herself, "Just as I thought! Since this kid dared to come, he must have some extremely powerful trump card!"

Such talent, coupled with such extraordinary encounters, is simply inhuman!

Su Qing quickly calmed herself down, dropped her airs, and said directly:

"So that True Master Lu know that Nan Jinping was captured alive by Butler Wu of the Governor's Mansion half a month ago and has now been handed over to the People of Izumo as a gift for the Tianchang Festival."

Lu Li said in a deep voice, "The Governor of the Two Rivers has defected to Izumo?"

"It's not so much about joining forces, it's more like colluding with someone else."

Su Qing continued:

"I know where Nan Jinping is imprisoned. I want to use this information to exchange for... 5 million merits."

"5 million..."

Upon hearing the price, Lu Li's expression turned somewhat strange.

Su Qing had been watching him closely, and thinking she had been too demanding, she quickly said:

"Don't think you have too many real people! Nan Jinping is about to be sent to Izumo's mainland, and time is of the essence. Moreover, there are other gifts for the Tenchō Festival where he is being held; we can seize them all when we rescue him! More importantly..."

Su Qing waved her slender, fair hand to increase her persuasiveness:

"The place where Nan Jinping is being held is the Ice Soul Powder factory that the Killing for Benevolence Society has been searching for! How about it, is this intelligence worthwhile?"

Lu Li nodded and said, "It's worth it. Here's your wish power, take it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Mountain Breaker Sword flew in front of Su Qing, emitting a rich golden light.

Su Qing was surprised by the other party's quick response, and hurriedly took large gulps of air, choking so much that her eyes bulged out, but she still tried to shove the air into her mouth.

This was clearly a case of consuming the power of will, which greatly intrigued Lu Li!

Willpower is a spiritual force, so it must be used spiritually, or at least incorporated into the Sea of Consciousness.

It's truly unimaginable to swallow something like a marshmallow!

He stared at it for a while, then his attention was momentarily distracted.

However, the money was given out too quickly, and I accidentally gave an extra 500,000.

"It's worthless stuff," Lu Li said dismissively. "Alright, tell me the information."

"The entrance is at the Plum Blossom Hall in Huzhou; the entire facility is underground."

Su Qing didn't hesitate at all and said it directly.

At this moment, her attention was focused on the 5 million units of wish power she had just absorbed.

For her, this was a tremendous gain, and she was instantly overjoyed, her cheeks flushed red!

But soon, Su Qing realized that Lu Li had given 10% more than he should have, and there were clearly still quite a few left among those flying swords!

Seeing that Lu Li about to leave after receiving the information, Su Qing quickly shouted:

"Wait a minute! I think I have quite a few things that would interest real people. Let's exchange ideas."

Lu Li thought for a moment, and figured it would be good to replace a bunch of useless things with useful ones, so he said:

"I brought...50 million. What do you have?"

"55 million!!!"

Su Qing was stunned for a moment, unaware that Lu Li had still underreported the information by half.

"Master, I have various cultivation manuals and Spirit Refinement techniques..."

As Su Qing spoke, she suddenly realized that all the things she possessed, even if all of them were combined, wouldn't be worth ten million vow power, let alone fifty million.

But this resource must not be let go; we must obtain it at all costs, even if it means sacrificing ourselves!

Su Qing's expression shifted between light and shadow. After weighing her options for a long time, she suddenly gave Lu Li a charming smile with her eyes crinkled.

"I am still Yin Essence, are you interested, Master? You can use Qinglong's fiancée first, wouldn't that be interesting?"

These words made Lu Li frown deeply.

"You come from the Mount Tai Sect, a renowned immortal Five Peaks Immortal Sect, how could you be so incompetent?"

At this moment, Lu Li also thought of the "Qiu Yan" of the Huashan Sect.

She has the appearance of a fairy, but she said some very vulgar things and smokes.
