"Is that so unusual?"
Xu Taiping was somewhat surprised. He had not expected the Bloodrock Soulfire Stone to make Prefect Qiu lose his composure like this.
But the moment the words left his mouth, he realized he should not have asked that.
After all, it also exposed the fact that he knew nothing about the Bloodrock Soulfire Stone.
To Qiu Shanyuan, however, Xu Taiping's words sounded more like-what was so unusual about such an ordinary thing?
I remember the Great Emperor once said that no more than ten people in the Shangqing Realm knew about the Bloodrock Soulfire Stone.
Just as I thought. For him to establish an Opening the Blade Domain in so little time, Xu Taiping must indeed have an expert guiding him from behind the scenes, someone who has established an Opening the Blade Domain, perhaps even a ninefold Opening the Blade Domain.
Otherwise, why would he want a Bloodrock Soulfire Stone, something not merely useless but harmful to ordinary cultivators?
That senior must be using Xu Taiping's request for the Soulfire Stone to send me a reminder.
After his thoughts raced for several breaths, Qiu Shanyuan finally reached a decision-he could agree to this.
He immediately raised his head and looked earnestly at Xu Taiping and Lu Rushuang.
"I can give you both my provisional agreement, but the Buddhist Dhyana Seal and the Bloodrock Soulfire Stone are both exceedingly precious. This Old Man must consult the Great Emperor before a final decision can be made. I will give you a definite answer tomorrow."
In truth, Qiu Shanyuan wanted to consult the Great Emperor not because of the Dhyana Seal or the Bloodrock Soulfire Stone, but because of the expert behind Xu Taiping who knew about the Bloodrock Soulfire Stone.
"Of course."
Xu Taiping smiled and nodded.
