Hearing this, Bai Lu showed a strange expression.
He had already heard about this from his apprentice.
"It seems that fellow Daoist is intentionally hiding his strength. In fact, strength is not the only requirement to become an elder of the Xianjian Sect. With your attainments in formation, you are fully qualified! If you have this intention, you can contact me at any time in the future." Bai Lu smiled sincerely and was not in a hurry. This time, he found out that Lu Qing'an had a good impression of the Xianjian Sect, so he could wait for his news.
Lu Qing'an was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Bai. I still need to consider this matter. If I make a decision, I will let Fellow Daoist Bai know."
It seems that it is possible to become an elder just by mastering the art of formation.
But that would have to wait until he went to the Immortal Sword Sect. Anyway, he wouldn't be going there in the short term, and he would have to wait until he had countless immortal sixth-grade treasures before deciding on the situation.
"Of course I can't take those two treasures for free. Fellow Daoist Bai, do you want fairy stones or something else in exchange?" Lu Qing'an did not immediately accept Bai Lu's invitation, but first proposed to give Bai Lu something of equivalent value.
Bai Lu had no intention of giving away treasures for free. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "I'll trade the Immortal Fire for the Immortal Stones. As for the Extremely Cold Treasure, we can discuss it later. Perhaps one day, when I'm in a good mood, I'll give it to Fellow Daoist Jia for free."
Speaking of this, Bai Lu smiled.
Lu Qing'an immediately understood that Bai Lu was testing his willingness to join the Immortal Sword Sect. If he agreed, this treasure would serve as a recruiting tool. If he refused, he might have to pay an equivalent price.
"Okay." Lu Qing'an smiled and nodded.
In that case, let’s wait until he goes to the Xianjian Sect to discuss it, so as to avoid wasting the treasure now.
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a sixth-grade immortal treasure from a storage ring and asked, "Brother Bai, do you think this treasure is equivalent to the seventh-grade immortal fire?"
This treasure is worth over a million, and should be enough to exchange for a ball of seventh-grade immortal fire.
He didn't have many immortal stones, so he could only exchange them for treasures.
Bai Lu took the treasure, examined it carefully for a moment, and nodded with a smile: "That's enough."
After the deal was done, the two chatted about some things related to the demons.
Bai Lu believed that the demons should have evacuated Panlong City, and they could relax a little for a while in the future.
Lu Qing'an, however, knew the demons' true intentions and would never leave easily. He might even have gone to get reinforcements. Seeing Bai Lu like this, he didn't argue with him. He just nodded perfunctorily and then excused himself to continue studying the demon-hunting formation.
He will come again when the treasure is delivered the next day.
Bai Lu smiled and nodded. He wished that Lu Qing'an would study the Demon Hunting Formation every day, so he saw him off.
"Master, do you really think that the demons have left Panlong City? For some reason, I always feel that these demons seem to have some plans in Panlong City." After Lu Qing'an left, Zhao Dezhu walked up to Bai Lu and asked with a frown.
"If you can think of a problem, how could I, your master, not think of it? I just want to see Fellow Daoist Jia's attitude." Bai Lu glanced at his apprentice and smiled faintly.
He mentioned this to Lu Qing'an several times, observing his reaction between words. If Lu Qing'an had directly stated that the demons were still within the city, it would have meant that he had already deployed the demon-hunting formation but was concealing it for some reason. Lu Qing'an's response was a simple nod, seemingly agreeing, but he remained silent, suggesting he wasn't sure if the demons had left, or perhaps the formation hadn't yet been deployed.
"Then what Master means is..." Zhao Dezhu was about to ask again, but suddenly saw Bai Lu's eyes and he suddenly realized.
"Do you understand?" Bai Lu asked.
Zhao Dezhu smiled bitterly and nodded: "I understand."
Bai Lu smiled and shook his head, saying, "What you should learn more about is how to make friends like this. Your master has a wide range of friends, many of whom are extremely powerful. This is because I understand that between friends, interests are the most important."
After hearing this, Zhao Dezhu nodded silently and said that he would study more.
After Lu Qing'an left the reception hall and returned to his residence, he shook his head and muttered to himself, "I always feel like Bai Lu is trying to find out what I'm saying. Sure enough, anyone with this kind of strength is always cunning."
After sighing, he continued to create the formation, trying to carve the formation pattern and set up the formation in advance before the treasure was delivered tomorrow.
There is still about half a month left, so he must prepare in advance in case the demons interfere with the operation at the last minute.
Just as I was thinking about this, Xu Qingying suddenly sent a message saying that she wanted to meet me for something.
Lu Qingan released her.
"What's this sudden intuition again? Did the demons bring in reinforcements?"
Lu Qing'an knew the reasons why Xu Qingying suddenly came to him for something, and there were only two possible reasons.
One is what is good, and the other is what is bad.
Xu Qingying blinked her beautiful eyes and nodded, "You already know me so well?"
Lu Qingan said: "With more cooperation, it will become clear. Is it really the demon clan coming to help?"
Xu Qingying smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not really sure either. I just had a sudden intuition that things aren't that simple."
Lu Qingan said speechlessly: "If nothing unexpected happens, these demons must have called for reinforcements. I wonder how strong their reinforcements are."
Xu Qingying smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, my intuition doesn't indicate that we're in big trouble. Even if they bring in reinforcements, we should be able to handle it."
Lu Qing'an nodded slightly. He and Xu Qingying were now bound together by fate. If he were in trouble, Xu Qingying wouldn't be immune either. Since she was so calm, it meant the problem wasn't serious.
"Right now, no demons are heading to the Demon Dragon's Land, and the city is completely quiet. It seems that even if reinforcements arrive, they won't make any major moves for a while, just waiting for the final moment."
