Chapter 427: Superior Spirit Stones, Jealousy
Chapter 427: Superior Spirit Stones, Jealousy
"Young Master, what is this?"
"Flame" saw the crystal-like lotus in Lu Qing's hand and asked curiously.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Purity Lotus." Lu Qing replied.
"This is the Purity Lotus! So, that gray-robed man was just trying to scare us?"
"Flame" realized.
"It seems so." Lu Qing closed the treasure box.
"Flame" was speechless for a moment.
After a while, he said, "Fortunately, Young Master, you saw through his scheme with your keen insight. Otherwise, we might have been fooled by him."
"I wasn't sure if what he said was true or not, but I just don't like being threatened."
Lu Qing put the treasure box into his storage bag and continued to examine the contents of the storage bag with his mind.
The storage bag of the gray-robed man was clearly extraordinary, and the space within was not smaller than that of his junior brother's spatial ring.
Moreover, the treasures inside were even more abundant than those of the white-robed youth.
The spirit stones alone were several times more than those in the spatial ring.
There were also various other spiritual herbs and potions.
As Lu Qing was inspecting the contents, his heart stirred, and a spirit stone appeared in his hand.
This spirit stone had a translucent exterior, and misty fog swirled within. Lu Qing sensed it with his mind, and the immense spirit rhythm contained within made him marvel.
"So, this is a superior-grade spirit stone. The spirit rhythm is indeed much more refined than that of a mediocre-grade spirit stone."
The gray-robed man's storage bag contained not only several times more spirit stones than the white-robed youth but also five superior-grade spirit stones.
It could be said that Lu Qing had suddenly become wealthy, possessing spirit stones comparable to the collection of an ancient immortal sect from the era of cultivating immortality.
"Senior Flame, I need to go out for a bit. I'll leave things here to you."
Lu Qing put away the treasures and the Mystic Core left by the gray-robed man and was about to leave.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, circling around him with its tail wagging vigorously, looking extremely fawning.
"Five Elements, do you want to go out?"
Lu Qing looked at the Winged Serpent with some speechlessness. Where was the slightest bit of the serpent's usual aloofness now?
The Winged Serpent nodded its head vigorously like a chick pecking at rice.
The Artifact Space was empty, and it was so boring that the serpent was about to go crazy.
Lu Qing thought for a moment. The Winged Serpent had already been enslaved by his divine soul and was completely under his command.
Even if he took it outside, it wouldn't cause any trouble.
So he nodded, "I can take you out, but you must promise me not to cause any trouble."
The Winged Serpent nodded its head again.
"Alright, then come with me."
Lu Qing smiled and disappeared, his soul returning to his physical body.
With a thought, he took out the storage bag and the Winged Serpent from the Flame Cauldron.
As soon as the Winged Serpent came out, it immediately rubbed against Lu Qing vigorously, acting like a loyal dog.
Lu Qing was about to speak, but the next moment, a dark shadow flew in from outside, raising several cold lights and slashing towards the Winged Serpent.
The cold lights were extremely fast, and the Winged Serpent was unable to dodge in time, getting struck.
The Winged Serpent shuddered and opened its mouth, ready to counterattack.
Lu Qing quickly grabbed the Winged Serpent's head and shouted to Xiao Li, who was about to continue attacking, "Xiao Li, wait! It's not an enemy."
Xiao Li stopped, its claws flashing with cold light as it stared at Lu Qing with wide eyes. "Ah Qing, what is this thing?"
"Just now, outside, it was playing chess with Xiao Yan, when suddenly a most unpleasant aura appeared in Lu Qing's room.
Rushing in, he saw a winged snake with claws, and he immediately slashed at it.
Unexpectedly, the snake was extremely tough, enduring a strike from his claws without being severed.
'It's called Five Elements,' Lu Qing laughed, 'I tamed it in the Mystic Realm, and from now on, it will be responsible for protecting the village.'
'Protect the village? Can it do that?'
Xiao Li sensed it, and indeed, there was a trace of Lu Qing's aura on the Winged Snake.
But for some reason, seeing this smelly snake snuggling up next to Lu Qing made him feel irritated.
The Winged Snake nearby felt Xiao Li's soul fluctuation and immediately straightened up, puffing out its chest, looking very proud.
At the same time, the tip of one of its wings pointed at its waist and glanced at Xiao Li.
Xiao Li's sharp claws had just struck there, and now, not a single hair was harmed, and there wasn't even a scratch on its scales.
'Smelly snake!'
Xiao Li saw that this smelly snake dared to mock him, and his fur immediately stood on end. A wisp of spatial force began to swirl around the snake.
Seeing this, Lu Qing instantly felt a headache.
He hadn't expected these two guys to act like enemies the moment they met.
He quickly patted Xiao Li's head, stopping its outburst: "Alright, Xiao Li, don't cause trouble."
Then he scolded the Winged Snake: "Five Elements, you too, are not allowed to provoke Xiao Li. Also, when I'm not here, you must listen to Xiao Li!"
The Winged Snake, which had been strutting just a moment ago, suddenly paused, staring blankly at Lu Qing.
Hearing this, Xiao Li immediately became happy, jumping onto Lu Qing's shoulders.
With its two front claws clasped in front of its chest, it looked down at the Winged Snake with an air of superiority.
"Did you hear that, smelly snake? From now on, you must listen to me. If I tell you to go east, you can't go west. If I tell you to crouch, you can't stand up!"
Seeing Xiao Li's arrogant behavior, the Winged Snake wanted to refuse, but under Lu Qing's calm gaze, it had no choice but to nod.
Lu Qing saw that the Winged Snake had softened, so he patted Xiao Li's head.
"Alright, don't be angry. Also, don't be too harsh on Five Elements usually. It's quite powerful and can help you a lot."
As Xiao Li narrowed its eyes, Lu Qing took out a golden fruit the size of an egg.
"Oh, right, I got quite a few things this time. This spirit fruit is for you. After refining it, your cultivation should increase significantly."
Xiao Li saw the fruit, and its eyes instantly widened.
It could feel the immense energy contained within the golden fruit, and it had a strong attraction to it.
Xiao Li immediately stretched out its two front claws, hugging the fruit, and smiled slyly.
At the same time, it shot a triumphant look at the Winged Snake.
The Winged Snake felt the energy within the golden fruit and straightened its eyes as well.
Then, it looked at Lu Qing with pleading eyes, the meaning clear.
Unfortunately, Lu Qing completely ignored it.
This golden spirit fruit was something he had taken from the gray-robed man's storage bag.
According to the exploration of the unusual ability, it had great benefits for living beings like spirit beasts, purifying their bloodlines and increasing their cultivation.
There was only one spirit fruit, so of course, he gave it to Xiao Li.
Although the Multicolored Winged Snake was his servile spirit beast, how could its feelings compare to Xiao Li, who had gone through life and death together and fought side by side so many times?
