In her past life, her genius elder sister drained her heart's blood to treat a supposed heart ailment. Her most trusted relatives did not plead for her or mourn her death; they even sold her co...
The Fusang Secret Realm is located southeast of Luoxia City. There is no direct passenger airship, and it takes about ten days to reach it after several transfers.
This mode of transportation is safe and fast, but Liu Yunqing did not choose to take the flying boat.
Because taking a passenger airship requires registering everyone's origin and destination, it is easy for someone with malicious intent to track their whereabouts.
Although Liu Yunqing possessed the Formless Mask, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she could only activate the Mask to produce a transformation. Therefore, aside from her true appearance, she only had her own true face.
To be on the safe side, Liu Yunqing decided to pilot his flying magical artifact himself.
This magic weapon is a defensive artifact shaped like a hairpin. Not only can its appearance be customized according to the owner's preferences, but it can also be used as a flying artifact.
Well, sometimes running away can be considered a form of defense.
For example, Liu Yunqing now.
She was merely passing through a city when she happened to be at a black market trade fair and, by chance, acquired a water-repelling pearl. She was then chased all the way by a Golden Core cultivator.
"Senior, if you continue like this, it will become meaningless."
After shaking off the person for the third time and being blocked for the fourth time, Liu Yunqing finally couldn't help but turn cold and speak first.
This person somehow found out that it was she who had swapped the water-repelling pearl, and stubbornly followed her scent all the way.
But the person just followed along, and after stopping him, he asked Liu Yunqing to give him the water-repelling pearl.
The water-repelling bead was about the size of an infant's fist, and the shimmering blue light on it indicated that it was of good quality, but it was not worth Liu Yunqing making an enemy of a Golden Core cultivator for it.
So the first few times, Liu Yunqing spoke very politely:
"If you really need it, senior, please return the items I exchanged, and I will give you this water-repelling pearl."
"Or you could buy it at the original price, as a way to create a good connection."
The man looked honest and simple, but upon hearing Liu Yunqing's words, his eyes flickered as he said:
"I don't have that many spirit stones right now, so give me the Water-Repelling Pearl first, I need it."
Liu Yunqing was almost laughing in exasperation at this person. Did he think the water-repelling pearl would be of any use?
Isn't she useful?
What was the point of exchanging all those good things for nothing?
But this guy was strange. When Liu Yunqing wanted to fight him, he refused to fight back. When Liu Yunqing left, he tried every means to stop her.
To put it simply, it means being unreasonable and demanding.
Seeing that Liu Yunqing had used his true energy, the man's face also showed anxiety as he said:
"You refused to give it to me, that's why I followed you! Just give me the water-repelling pearl, and everything will be fine!"
Liu Yunqing stopped wasting words, gripped the Purple Spirit Bow, and said to the man:
"Senior, although I am only at the Foundation Establishment stage, I would like to learn a few moves from you."
The man didn't reply at all, but just scratched his head and said:
"How about this, you lend it to me first, and I'll return it to you when I'm done?"
Liu Yunqing was almost laughing in exasperation. She nodded, then pointed to the tip of her nose with her right finger and said:
"Give it back to me?"
The man nodded hurriedly.
Liu Yunqing asked again:
"Then who am I? Where are you going to return it? Why should I believe you will return it?"
The man's face turned bright red, and he mumbled "ba ba ba" for a long time, but couldn't say anything.
"Unless you tell me what you're going to do with this water-repelling bead?"
Although this person was shameless, Liu Yunqing repeatedly said unpleasant things or took the initiative to attack, but the other party always refused to retaliate, insisting that he was not trying to steal anything, but simply that he did not have any spirit stones.
Okay, I won't steal it, and I won't buy it. You have to deliver it yourself.
A dignified Golden Core cultivator was so flustered in front of a Foundation Establishment cultivator that he turned red with embarrassment.
Liu Yunqing changed his original attack into a question that he was unlikely to get an answer to.
The man was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, then a hint of joy flashed across his face as he looked Liu Yunqing up and down and said:
"Come on, let's spar a bit!"
The person who had previously refused to fight, as soon as he finished speaking, swung a hammer at Liu Yunqing.
That hammer weighed over a thousand pounds, and with the added power of the golden spirit, it could instantly smash a person into a pulp if they didn't dodge or avoid it.
Liu Yunqing was almost touching the ground as he slid backward, only to be swept by the tail of the Golden Core stage power. He felt his blood surging and his body burning with pain.
Dodging the man's first attack with incredible speed, Liu Yunqing didn't even have time to get up before the man's second hammer was already raised high.
Liu Yunqing had no time to think. His right hand formed a hand seal with lightning speed. Just as the opponent's hammer was about to fall, a series of fireballs crashed into the hammer one after another, making several loud "boom" sounds that shook the ground as if it were shaking.
The person opposite him was shocked, firstly by the speed at which Liu Yunqing could form hand seals, which was no less than that of a Golden Core cultivator.
Secondly, he was shocked that someone could expand the power of their magic to such an extent that a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator could easily defeat him, a Golden Core cultivator, and immediately showed admiration in his eyes.
At the same time, he swiftly sheathed his hammer, retreated rapidly, barely dodging Liu Yunqing's attack, and shouted:
"I'm not fighting anymore!"
Liu Yunqing thought he was going to cheat again, so he didn't retract his attack stance, but his long eyebrows almost stood on end as he roared at the other man:
"Not again? Can't you just get it over with already!"
Seeing the murderous glint in Liu Yunqing's eyes, the man dared not hesitate and hurriedly spoke:
"I was just testing your strength, young friend. Now that I've confirmed your extraordinary abilities, I'd like to invite my friends to join me on this treasure hunt!"
Upon hearing the words "treasure hunt," Liu Yunqing's expression softened. Seeing that the other party's face was indeed sincere, he withdrew his attack and said:
"What treasure are you looking for? Where are you looking for it? Is it related to the water-repelling pearl?"
"Yes, treasure hunting, going to the Fusang Secret Realm, is precisely where we need the Water-Repelling Pearl!"
Fuso Secret Realm?
Isn't that my destination?
Why would someone just follow her? Why would they need to stop her and demand money?
"He really is a simpleton," Liu Yunqing shook her head helplessly.
"Is...is it not okay?"
"It's okay if it doesn't work, just lend me the water-repelling pearl!"
On Liu Yunqing's aloof face, an extremely incongruous eye roll appeared; if anything, her words seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
"Alright, alright! Senior, please lead the way!"
Upon seeing Liu Yunqing agree, the man immediately beamed with joy and nimbly climbed onto Liu Yunqing's flying magic weapon.
Liu Yunqing: "..."
"Hahahaha! Fool! You're not going to eat the fat meat that's already in your mouth, but instead you want to cooperate with it? You're so stupid, hahahaha!"
Amidst the rampant mockery and ridicule, another group of people appeared in front of Liu Yunqing's flying magic weapon.
Liu Yunqing took a deep breath, patted her forehead, and repeatedly told herself, "Calm down, calm down, be patient."
The next instant, he raised the Purple Spirit Bow, drawing out the fire spirit energy from the Golden Crow Ring, and unleashed a barrage of shots at the man who had been arrogantly mocking him.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
One arrow pierced two, and the entire scene fell silent instantly.
Only the two blackened corpses of the person who was shot remained, and after they landed, they gently shattered.
"Shall we continue?"
The people on the other end were stunned. Upon hearing the word "continue," they instinctively reacted and said:
"No, no, no, we were blind to your greatness. Please don't be angry, fairy."
Hearing this, Liu Yunqing was not angry at all; instead, a sweet smile appeared on her face as she said:
"Since you're not playing anymore, then I'll begin!"
