Ch 132: Three Men Walk Together

Lu Qing’an was also sizing up Zhen Yongfu at this moment, with his own thoughts in mind.

A single Huan Yu Realm cultivator attacking him would indeed be difficult to kill him, but the real reason he decided to take the task was because he would be bringing Zhen Yongfu along this time.

This good brother of mine has incredibly lucky, despite only having Xuanguang Realm cultivation, bringing him along, seemingly useless, is actually extremely useful.

When encountering a life-or-death situation, there’s even a possibility of a turning point because of Zhen Yongfu.

The two of them instantly agreed and walked towards the center of the Eighth Floor.

There was no one there, only a stone pillar standing, with an exquisite formation embedded in its top.

Zhen Yongfu demonstrated first, placing his Identity Token on the formation. The token hovered in the air, the formation trembled slightly, and then a voice of an old man was heard: “What task do you wish to take?”

Zhen Yongfu replied in a deep voice: “The first task!”

“Deposit of one million Immortal Stones, if not completed within one month, the deposit will not be refunded.”

The two of them put one million Immortal Stones into the formation, a moment of light flashed, and the task was officially accepted. As the light dispersed, Zhen Yongfu retrieved the token, which now had the words “Task” added to it, shining with purple light.

“An Ge, the operation is that simple. Besides this task, do you want to take any other tasks?” Zhen Yongfu looked towards Lu Qing’an.

Lu Qing’an pondered for a moment and replied: “Take a look around, if there are any tasks that are on the way to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, then we will take them together.”

Zhen Yongfu nodded, and the two of them walked around the Eighth Floor, finding that the other tasks were cumbersome and had low Contribution Points, so they simply returned to the Seventh Floor. In the end, they did not find any suitable tasks along the way and left the Mission Pavilion.

Anyway, completing this task would directly yield 4,000 Contribution Points, enough for them to use for a while.

The two left the Mission Pavilion and then split up, trying to find out more useful information about this task.

Zhen Yongfu knew many friends, so he started to look for friends to inquire.

While Lu Qing’an returned to his Cave Mansion and took out the Voice Transmission Jade Slip to contact Xu Qingying.

In his heart, Xu Qingying was a intelligence expert, perhaps she is very knowledgeable about the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, it’s worth a try to ask.

As soon as he injected a wisp of Immortal Qi into the Voice Transmission Jade Slip, the next moment, he saw a flash of light, and the Voice Transmission was already connected, as if Xu Qingying had been holding the Voice Transmission Jade Slip, waiting for his transmission.

“I have a matter to inquire about.” Lu Qing’an smiled slightly and said.

“Go ahead.” Xu Qingying smiled slightly.

“What do you know about the Ten Thousand Demons Cave? Tell me in detail, I plan to go there soon.”

Lu Qing’an told Xu Qingying about the task he had accepted.

If Xu Qingying had time, he wouldn’t mind bringing her along.

One with lucky boost, and one who can perceive danger, assisting each other, the lineup is simply perfect!

Of course, the premise is that Xu Qingying has no important matters and can go out for tempering, and also need to see the Sect Leader’s situation.

Especially if the Sect Leader gives Xu Qingying a task, but she runs off with him, this would bring him trouble.

“I have some knowledge of this matter. I have also checked the intelligence on the Ten Thousand Demons Cave. This place is slightly dangerous for Liuli Realm cultivators, but for Saint Spirit Realm cultivators, unless their luck is bad, there should be no major problems…” Xu Qingying explained slowly, detailing the disappearance of several Liuli Realm cultivators and various details.

She speculated that the disappearance was caused by human intervention, which caused the disappearance of five Liuli Realm cultivators.

“Okay, thank you for your intelligence.” Lu Qing’an said with a smile.

Xu Qingying smiled slightly: “You don’t need to be polite with me. By the way, are you planning to go there with Zhen Yongfu?”

Lu Qing’an heard a slight hesitation in her tone, so he frankly said: “Yes.”

“Then…can I also join…” Xu Qingying’s voice paused slightly, with a hint of uneasiness.

Now she is a direct disciple of the Xianjian Sect Sect Leader, she is afraid that Lu Qing’an does not want to have too much contact with her, afraid of attracting attention, so she is not confident.

However, Lu Qing’an said with a casual smile: “I was just thinking of inviting you to go together, provided that you have time, and that your Master agrees.”

Now he has considerable reputation in the sect, and in the outside world, he and Zhen Yongfu are considered close friends, and Zhen Yongfu has a close relationship with Xu Qingying, the three of them traveling together, outsiders would naturally see nothing wrong with it.

Xu Qingying quickly said: “I’ll ask my Master immediately! Of course, I dare not tell her that I’m going to complete your task, but if I say that I just want to go there for tempering, she should agree!”

“Okay, I’ll wait for your good news.” Lu Qing’an nodded.

“Yeah! I’ll contact you later!” Xu Qingying’s voice was filled with unconcealed joy, and then she hung up the Voice Transmission Jade Slip.

Lu Qing’an listened to her clear and bell-like voice, and shook his head and chuckled.

“Are you that happy?”

With Xu Qingying’s help, this trip will naturally be more stable.

In a short while, Xu Qingying sent good news, her Master indeed had no objections.

Lu Qing’an then set a departure date with Xu Qingying, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, they could set off tomorrow or the day after.

The two then ended their Voice Transmission.

About an incense stick later, Zhen Yongfu returned.

He brought back a lot of information about the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, but unfortunately, the intelligence he learned had already been told by Xu Qingying.

This shows that Xu Qingying’s skill in intelligence gathering and organization is far beyond the ordinary.

Lu Qing’an also told Zhen Yongfu that Xu Qingying would be going with them.

Zhen Yongfu, upon hearing this, immediately had a mischievous smile on his face, obviously itching to start this tempering.

Time slipped by, half a day passed unknowingly.

Lu Qing’an sat quietly in his Cave Mansion, cultivating for half a day, seeing that it was almost dusk, he left the Cave Mansion early and flew towards the agreed place.

The Xianjian Sect mountain gate is vast and boundless, with one hundred mountain peaks, and Wutian Lake is located in the center of the sect.

Lu Qing’an traveled on the wind, standing high in the air overlooking the lake, seeing that the lake was even more vast than the Erhai Lake he had seen in his previous life.

And in the center of Wutian Lake, there is a stone pavilion.

Tong Jing told him to wait for Du Feng’s arrival at this pavilion.

To show his sincerity, he arrived an hour early, but he saw that there were already two people waiting in the stone pavilion.

They were Du Weiwei and a handsome middle-aged man with a refined and elegant bearing.

Upon closer observation, one could find that the middle-aged man had some resemblance to Du Weiwei in his eyebrows and eyes.

“I was thinking of arriving an hour early and waiting slowly, but I didn’t expect these two to arrive faster than me…”

Lu Qing’an sighed inwardly, then flew down.

When he flew closer to the stone pavilion, he heard a clear and elegant Qin music entering his ears.

It seemed that Du Weiwei was bored waiting, and she played the Guqin by herself. The Qin music was melodious and graceful, like a spring echoing in a valley.

Lu Qing’an savored it slightly and nodded slightly.

Du Weiwei, worthy of being called the “All-Round Talented Woman”, is indeed proficient in everything.

Lu Qing’an flew down to the stone pavilion, and immediately bowed to the two of them, performing the etiquette of a disciple seeing elders.

“I have met Supreme Elder and Senior Sister Weiwei, I have kept you waiting.”

In front of Du Feng, he couldn’t call Du Weiwei Daoist Friend anymore.

He needed to use a more intimate address.

Du Feng’s black hair fluttered in the wind, his expression gentle, his gaze fell on Lu Qing’an, and a faint smile was already on his lips.

“No need to be polite, we only just arrived a short time ago.”

Du Feng’s voice was like a spring breeze, elegant and affable, like a refined scholar.

Lu Qing’an smiled and nodded, stepping into the stone pavilion.

Du Weiwei stopped playing the Qin, her gaze fell on Lu Qing’an, the corners of her lips curved slightly, she stood up, pointed to the space beside her, and said: “Daoist Friend, come and sit here.”

Du Feng looked at his daughter, seeing her gaze at Lu Qing’an, it was completely different from her usual gaze at other men, there was more gentleness and joy, which made him momentarily dazed.

Thus, his gaze towards Lu Qing’an also had a bit more probing and thoughtfulness.
