There Really Was a Problem

The white phantom was imprisoned in mid-air by Lu Qing'an's Divine Sense, revealing the image of an old man with an air of otherworldly grace.

He wore a wide white robe, the hem fluttering even without wind, and was surrounded by a faint blue halo.

A jade-like rhombus mark was embedded between his brows, and his eyes were as deep as the starry sky, as if containing endless years.

His long, silvery-white hair and beard flowed like clouds, and his face was kind yet exuded a dignified air of otherworldly authority.

Although it is merely a consciousness, it gives people a sense of ethereal transcendence, like a banished immortal stepping out of a painting.

Of course, this seemingly impressive demeanor didn't last long. When he realized that he had actually been found by Lu Qing'an Lu Qing'an had been irresistibly drawn here and imprisoned, his entire face changed instantly, filled with shock and confusion, and his deep eyes widened considerably.

"How did you find me?!" he blurted out.

Lu Qing'an chuckled, "With your tricks, discovering you is incredibly easy. Come on, you don't want your consciousness to be crushed by me, do you? Now, answer my questions properly."

This is a consciousness entity, likely left behind by a powerful figure from the Pill Cloud Continent.

They are kept here primarily to oversee the entire trial, thereby selecting the talents most desired by the faction.

Lu Qing'an thought it was normal that his apprentice was chosen, but what he didn't expect was that he himself was not chosen.

There's something wrong here.

Is there a problem with the ability he has demonstrated?

Giving him only this one Divine Crystal is unreasonable.

Indeed, he was convinced that this roulette wheel could be controlled by this consciousness, and that this consciousness had the ability to manage the entire interior of the Pill Cloud Azure Coffin, which was why it could accurately assign a suitable reward item to each person.

There was no reason why this consciousness puppet wouldn't realize that he was the strongest person present.

There must be a problem here.

He even wondered if the chosen people would be sold off!

His strength was too great, and the forces of the Pill Cloud Continent felt it was unnecessary to take the risk or that he did not meet their requirements, so they simply dismissed him.

The old man tried to break free, transforming into a beam of light to escape Lu Qing'an's barrier seal, but no matter how hard he tried, he failed.

Finally, he could only stare intently at Lu Qing'an: "It's undeniable that you possess the cultivation of the Chaos Emperor Realm in this Two Heavens Continent, which is quite remarkable! But you should know that in our Pill Cloud Continent, your strength is still insufficient! I advise you not to make a mistake! Release me immediately!!"

"What, you can't possibly send people here?" Lu Qing'an asked tentatively.

"Pill Cloud Continent isn't far from the Cangyun Continent! Finding it is extremely easy! I'll give you three numbers, and if you don't let me go, you're dead for sure!!" the old man threatened with a sinister face.

Lu Qing'an laughed, "I enjoy being threatened. Then send someone over. I'd like to see the powerful figures from other continents."

If the visitor is friendly, he can make friends, treat them to a meal, and take the opportunity to learn more about the situation in the vicinity of the Cangyun Continent.

If the enemy comes, then it's even simpler!

Beat him half to death, imprison him, and extract the information you want!

He still prefers this method—it's efficient, simple, and he's too familiar with the process!

Seeing that Lu Qing'an wasn't buying it, the old man fell silent.

This guy!

Aren't you afraid at all?!

"Since you won't give me the information I want, then I'll crush you. Goodbye." Lu Qing'an prepared to act.

"Wait!" the old man called out quickly.

"What? You've changed your mind?"

"You ask!!"

"I've already asked."

The old man clenched his fist; he needed some time to relay the situation back.

We can only delay a little longer.

"I am Bao Huai, a Reincarnation Realm elder of the Qingdan Sect on the Danyun Continent! This Danyun Azure Coffin was crafted by my sect and is intended to be distributed to different continents to select top geniuses!"

"Pill Azure Sect? You have the Reincarnation Realm in your true form? Really? Why don't you come over sometime?" Lu Qing'an said.

The Reincarnation Realm should place them among the top powerhouses in the Three Heavens Continent, right?

Above the Emperor Realm is the Divine Realm, and above the Divine Realm is the Reincarnation Realm.

"Hmph, your continent will surely collapse the moment I arrive!" Bao Huai sneered disdainfully.

"That makes sense. If all else fails, you can wait outside the realm, and I'll come out to meet you," Lu Qing'an said with a smile.

He wasn't sure Bao Huai himself would receive the message from this consciousness. If so, he hoped that Bao Huai's physical body would see it and come over.

He only recently learned that to break through from the Emperor Realm to the Divine Realm, one needs to go to the Three Heavens Continent.

After that, Xue Tianfei and the others broke through to the Chaos Emperor Realm, and then they had to go to the Three Heavens Continent.

Since the Pill Cloud Continent Pill Cloud Continent close to here, it's quite necessary for him to learn about it beforehand.

And this Bao Huai can serve as their guide.

Whether he was forced to become a guide or did so voluntarily depends on Bao Huai's attitude towards him.

"I am an elder of a top sect, how could you possibly order me around as you please?" Bao Huai sneered.

Seeing this, Lu Qing'an chuckled and changed the subject, saying, "Then let me ask you the next question: why did you choose my disciple instead of me? If I'm not mistaken, that token means you've taken a liking to my disciple, right? After all, you came here to select talent to take back and train."

If Bao Huai couldn't give him a satisfactory answer, he had nothing else to say.

They immediately assumed the other person had ulterior motives.

After all, he didn't understand the Pill Cloud Continent, let alone the Pill Azure Sect within the Pill Cloud Continent.

Perhaps this sect uses geniuses to refine pills.

Perhaps this Pill Cloud Azure Coffin wasn't meant to select and nurture geniuses, but rather to find suitable materials across different continents for alchemy!

Bao Huai fell silent, seemingly pondering the answer.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Lu Qing'an's suspicions intensified several times over.

Something's definitely not right!

I have no ill intentions; I'll just say it directly.

Why bother thinking?

"Brother-in-law! They're up to something!" At that moment, a voice reached Lu Qing'an's mind.

It was Xu Xuanyu transmitted the message.

At this moment, Xu Xuanyu held the pill he had obtained in his hand.

After a brief conversation with the pill expert, he heard some shocking information!

Tell me.

Xu Xuanyu quickly shared his discovery.

After listening, Lu Qing'an's eyes turned cold, and when he looked at Bao Huai again, he gave a sneer.

Bao Huai looked at Lu Qing'an and said, "Your strength is indeed stronger than your disciple's, but we will only select one to train. Your disciple is younger than you, and his Emperor Position and physique are suitable for our sect, so we chose him. As for why we only gave you a small piece of Divine Crystal, it's because you destroyed too many of our things on this trip! I'm not happy with you! Are you satisfied with this answer?"

"Oh, is it because you don't like me? Well, I don't like you either, and I want to crush you. What do you think?" Lu Qing'an sneered.
