After making sure that Toji Fushiguro had left completely, Li Qingxun let out a yawn.
His tense expression relaxed quite a bit, and his gaze sank into his own mind.
As the ring fully returned to its place, his consciousness plunged into the ring space and began inspecting the territory within.
A huge treasury sat silently there, and the most numerous items within it were hundred-year spirit herbs and thousand-year spirit herbs.
The number of hundred-year spirit herbs exceeded thirty, and the count of thousand-year spirit herbs also surpassed fifteen, a scale that could be called astonishing.
Aside from these, there were also quite a few level five and six soul tools or higher inside the treasury.
There were even some standard-issue soul cannon shells.
These soul cannon shells were strictly controlled weapons; let alone the Spirit Pagoda and the Tang Sect.
Even the War God Temple and the Federation exercised extremely rigorous control over them.
Except for units with military organization, the War God Temple also strictly prohibited private individuals from holding such things.
Yet at this very moment, within the treasury of the Spirit Pagoda, there were at least over seventy standard-issue level six and seven soul cannon shells.
One had to know that a level-six soul cannon shell was equivalent to the full-strength strike of several Titled Douluo soul masters, and its blast radius was enough to destroy multiple buildings.
As for a level-seven soul cannon shell, it was even more terrifying; once detonated, it could directly flatten an entire city block into a wasteland.
If all of these cannon shells were launched, it could almost be said that the entire Skysea City would shatter completely in an instant, and even the outer suburbs would be plowed through thoroughly.
Moreover, this was only high-tier soul cannon shells. While low-end soul cannon shells would not be stored in such a high-level treasury, the quantity stored among them shouldn't be too small either.
Looking at these items, along with some standard-issue level five and six soul tools and several special mecha blueprints,
the collection here was dazzling and their quantity was terrifyingly large, but there truly were not many things that were genuinely precious.
It seems that given the chance, I still have to raid the Spirit Pagoda of Eastsea City. With the Spirit Ascension Platform around, the amount of cash accumulated in Eastsea City must be an astronomical figure.
When the time comes, as long as I get anonymous bank cards, I can use them directly.
And the assets under the Spirit Pagoda's name can also be resold to the people of the Spirit Pagoda. Li Qingxun thought this and stretched lazily.
A hint of a lazy expression subsequently surfaced in his eyes.
Right after, his whole body lay down on the bed, and the time of night quietly slipped away.
In the morning class, a line of four people slowly sat down side by side. Looking at the four neatly seated individuals,
Wu Changkong silently pushed the door open and walked in to begin the lecture.
Among them, Xie Xie was not listening very intently, Gu Yue spent most of the time looking out the window, and only Li Qingxun and Tang Wulin studied with the utmost focus.
Tang Wulin understood absolutely nothing, while Li Qingxun was frantically absorbing the knowledge of this world.
His thirst for knowledge in this world far exceeded that of a normal person, and his learning speed was also much faster than Tang Wulin's.
As the morning classes quickly concluded, the four of them parted ways at noon.
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie went off to eat, while Li Qingxun prepared to stroll around outside and grab something else to eat.
However, the moment he stepped out of the gates of Shrek Academy, he saw Gu Yue already waiting at the entrance.
Gu Yue's gaze landed on him, and the two exchanged a look before walking side by side toward the outside.
"Judging by your look, you're already prepared. If you weren't, you probably wouldn't have come looking for me. Tell me, when are you planning to make your move?"
"Several days have already passed, and my influence over you will soon fade away."
Li Qingxun spoke while studying Gu Yue, his expression remaining largely unchanged.
Whether Gu Yue made a move against Tang Wulin or not had nothing to do with him; he had already collected the spirit herbs anyway.
Whether Gu Yue acted afterward was naturally none of his concern.
Whether she acted or not, it was nothing more than a matter of taking a bit more or a bit less.
Hearing Li Qingxun's words, Gu Yue glanced at him, and her expression subsequently turned somewhat solemn: "We can make a move this afternoon, or even right after lunch."
"The problem, however, is that up until now, I still haven't thought of a way to completely counter Tang San."
"You must know that the moment we touch Tang Wulin, Tang San will definitely sense it. This is something impossible to avoid."
Gu Yue spoke in a somewhat earnest tone, her expression also turning a fraction more serious.
Hearing Gu Yue's words, Li Qingxun merely cast a glance at her: "I said you don't need to worry about this. I can take responsibility for dealing with Tang San, and there won't be any problems whatsoever, one hundred percent."
"All you need to do right now is just make your move directly; you don't need to worry about anything else. Of course, if you can't trust me, then forget it."
Li Qingxun took two steps forward as he spoke, his expression carrying a hint of indifference.
He knew that Gu Yue still harbored some suspicions toward him, seeing as Gu Yue had already been discovered by Tang San and Tang Hao.
The two of them intended to use Gu Yue to protect Tang Wulin.
They even wanted to borrow her hands to resolve the Golden Dragon King backup plan within Tang Wulin's body.
Strong though Tang San's power might be, and with Tang Hao being the Plane Master of this world,
yet the Golden Dragon King Bloodline was sealed right within Tang Wulin's body.
Without Gu Yue's existence, Tang Wulin's bloodline could not possibly be preserved.
He would definitely die from a bloodline backlash.
Li Qingxun saw this point very clearly; after all, in the original timeline, Tang Wulin's ability to survive could almost be said to have relied on Gu Yue countless times.
Tang Wulin's bloodline riots alone exceeded seven or eight times, not to mention the countless times various bloodline influences occurred.
Even the reason Li Qingxun guessed that Tang San and Tang Hao had exerted influence on Gu Yue, making her stay by Tang Wulin's side,
was because Gu Yue's very existence had meaning in itself.
As long as Gu Yue accompanied Tang Wulin's side, it could lessen the bloodline impact Tang Wulin suffered.
As for why they didn't kill Gu Yue to let Tang Wulin become the Dragon God alone, it was because Tang Wulin could not bear it at all.
It could be said that he simply could not withstand the complete Dragon God's Power, and once Gu Yue's Silver Dragon King power was introduced into the mix,
Tang Wulin was almost certainly doomed to die.
And with no one to control the Dragon God's power, once the Dragon God's Power erupted completely, the entire continent would be buried along with him at that time.
Li Qingxun saw all of this very clearly; as a bystander, he had already seen through these matters thoroughly.
Yet he couldn't be bothered to show it, nor did he care to manage it.
At the moment, looking at Gu Yue's anxious appearance, he didn't even deign to say much.
But it was obvious that Gu Yue was not a fool. Although she was reputed to possess world-shaking wisdom, that was after she became a lovesick fool.
Before turning into a lovesick fool, she at least possessed thinking superior to an ordinary person.
Though giving up her own power to retrain was somewhat foolish, if Tang Wulin hadn't been around, she would have succeeded in the end after all.
Li Qingxun thought about a great many things, but his pace had never stopped from beginning to end.
Seeing that Li Qingxun ignored her and continued walking forward, Gu Yue was silent for a split second before following him anyway, gently taking a slight breath.
"Then how about we make our move tonight? Tonight at seven, I will bring Tang Wulin to Eastsea Academy, and then you and I will rendezvous there."
"Let the location be Apartment 137 in the East District." Gu Yue said, her expression turning somewhat serious.
As for this so-called apartment number, Li Qingxun did not know what it specifically signified.
Yet he could roughly guess that this should be the hiding place of Di Tian and the others.
As for whether Di Tian would make a move against him before Gu Yue did, Li Qingxun still held a certain degree of vigilance in his heart.
However, once Tang Wulin's bloodline was truly extracted, or rather, once a connection was established with Tang Wulin and Tang San's power was triggered,
then by that time, it would no longer be a question of whether others would make a move or not.
By then, he would have to consider whether to secretly move against Gu Yue. The three soul beasts currently following Gu Yue were still somewhat troublesome.
Including Di Tian and Xiong Jun, he had left behind some backup measures for both of them.
Although he lacked the certainty to make the two of them directly betray Gu Yue, he had the confidence to place a restriction on both of them so they wouldn't attack him.
However, before that, he had best conceal his face.
After all, he from ten thousand years ago had almost killed Di Tian and even stepped on him, humiliating him fiercely.
Because he had originally planned to keep Di Tian as one of his Seven Emotions.
Both Di Tian and the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler possessed quite high strength, coupled with the Snow Empress.
He had intended to take these three top-tier ferocious beasts all under his command directly.
It was just that the Snow Empress had surrendered rather early on, and coupled with the need to protect his main body, he had kept the Snow Empress by his main body's side all along.
As for the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler, he had butchered him directly, and even the entire Evil Eye Tyrant Clan at that time had been mostly wiped out by him.
As for Di Tian, the reason he gave up on him back then was not out of consideration for the slumbering Gu Yue.
To put it bluntly, even if Gu Yue had awakened at that time, he might not necessarily have lost to her.
And even if he couldn't win, relying on his Titled Douluo-level strength, escaping would have been completely effortless for him.
He could entirely make himself vanish from everyone's awareness and then run.
Even if Gu Yue possessed god-level combat prowess or higher, it would take her a while to react.
By that time, he would have long since vanished without a trace.
Even Gu Yue at that time might have been directly killed by Tang San.
The reason he didn't finish off Di Tian back then was actually for this very moment ten thousand years later.
Apart from ensuring that the entire Soul Beast Clan would not be completely annihilated-which would cause Gu Yue to awaken prematurely-it was also largely in preparation for his own needs ten thousand years later.
Yet there truly was no helping it back then; Huo Yuhao lingering in the lower realms was already disgusting enough.
If Di Tian were killed on top of that, then the Soul Beast Clan at this stage would definitely be completely finished.
By then, Gu Yue would awaken ten thousand years early, and many of his plans, or rather, many of his backup measures, would likely fail ahead of time.
Thinking of this, he spared Di Tian's life, and if he truly met Di Tian today, those backup measures could come in handy.
Thinking as they walked, the two of them arrived together at the outside snack street, ate a simple meal, and then parted ways respectively.
By the time he returned to his room, it was already noon. There were no classes in the afternoon, so Li Qingxun's time was fairly leisurely.
However, this leisure did not last long before he sensed the mental link between himself and Sunday-it was Sunday who had actively initiated the connection with him.
It looked like Sunday might have run into some problems over on his side.
Having Sunday contact the Holy Spirit Cult, and even become the master of the Holy Spirit Cult in Eastsea City, carried inherent risks in itself.
Therefore, facing Sunday's connection at this moment, he also appeared quite serious.
As he sat cross-legged, the link was established in an instant, and once his vision cleared, what appeared before him was a boundless, huge dark cave.
As his gaze grew clear and he looked again, this place should be an abandoned unfinished building.
At this moment, aside from Sunday and the puppets behind him, an extremely delicate and gentle woman stood facing them.
