Can ordinary mountains and seas be destroyed with a flick of the finger?
The eight powerful words left Shen Qian stunned.
But he knew Ling Xiao wasn't bragging; there was no need for him to.
In fact, among the senior brothers and sisters who had some understanding of these people before they were sunk, even the weakest one, Old Liu, was a ruthless person who could rival the Mountain and Sea Realm at the high martial arts stage.
Ling Xiao broke through the Mountain and Sea Realm, and it's been an unknown amount of time since then. If he can't even kill an ordinary Mountain and Sea Realm cultivator instantly, then he's not qualified to be a disciple of a high-ranking expert.
After Ling Xiao sat back down, Wu Jun floated over, handed a small cloth bag to Shen Qian, and then floated back without saying a word.
Shen Qian squeezed it and felt as if there was a stone inside. His expression froze...
Shen Qian opened the bag and took a look, then breathed a sigh of relief. He almost thought that his fourth senior brother had returned the cat's eye stone that he had given him.
Fortunately, Fourth Senior Brother still had some integrity, but... what is this?
Shen Qian picked up the irregular stone that emitted a faint green light and felt a chill seep into his body.
"Soul Stone!"
Shi Dingyan and the others' expressions instantly turned serious. They all looked at Wu Jun with complicated expressions, as if they hadn't expected her to give this to Shen Qian.
"What is a Soul Stone?" Shen Qian sensed something unusual.
"Legend has it that there is a kind of stone that only appears at the boundary between Yin and Yang, and it has the ability to reincarnate, but..." Shi Dingyan hesitated before continuing.
"Is it appropriate for you to give this to your junior brother?" Ling Xiao frowned as well.
Only Lao Liu and Shen Qian were equally bewildered.
"Take it." At this moment, Boss Gao spoke softly.
Shen Qian usually disliked people only saying half of what they meant, but since Gao Wenyuan had taken the initiative to end the conversation, Shen Qian could only swallow back the question that was on the tip of his tongue, obediently accept the soul stone and thank him.
We can just ask our all-knowing third senior brother later.
Ling Xiao and Shi Dingyan looked at Liu Changqing, who was engrossed in drinking.
Feeling the stares of several people, Old Liu couldn't keep up the act any longer. He wiped his mouth awkwardly and said, "...Why are you all looking at me?"
"You didn't prepare a gift for your junior brother, did you?" Ling Xiao asked with a half-smile.
"How could that be? Do you think I would forget?"
Liu Changqing immediately denied it.
"Then why haven't you taken it out yet?" Shi Dingyan chuckled.
"Well, this gift is a bit special, I can't give it to you in person..." Liu Changqing explained.
They all smiled and remained silent.
"It's alright, Sixth Senior Brother, you don't need to see me off. I know you're not well-off either..." Shen Qian tried to help Old Liu out of the predicament.
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Liu Changqing exploded instantly. "I'm not well-off? Even if I'm not well-off, I'm still better off than a little brat like you. You just want a gift, so here you go!"
In a fit of rage, Liu Changqing took off a pendant from his chest and threw it to Shen Qian.
"...Changqing, are you serious?" Shi Dingyan seemed to know what it was, and his expression instantly turned strange.
"Of course!" Liu Changqing said, feigning disdain. "I'm already at the Mountain and Sea level, what would I need this kind of thing for?"
"What is it?" Ling Xiao asked Shen Qian curiously.
"Invisibility Talisman".
Shi Dingyan first said three words, and seeing that Ling Xiao was not very surprised, he added, "Refined by King Taiyi."
"Holy crap!" Ling Xiao exclaimed, a rare occurrence for him, and looked at Liu Changqing in disbelief. "This is your most treasured possession, isn't it? You just give it away like that?"
Shen Qian didn't quite understand, but he keenly caught the words "Taiyi King," so he gave up his intention to refuse and silently put the jade talisman away.
Who is King Taiyi?
The greatest science and engineering scholar of all time!
Moreover, unlike those scientists who went down a dead end, he was a figure who perfectly combined theology and engineering.
While King Taiyi may not be as skilled in martial arts as King Jiangling, he is unmatched in his mastery of creation.
"Sixth Senior Brother, I salute you!"
Shen Qian toasted Liu Changqing with a cup of wine. Seeing that his eighth senior sister, Ji Ruoshui, was still bowing her head and not moving as when she first arrived, seemingly without any expression, he picked up his wine cup and went to toast another table.
"Changqing, you're really willing to part with it. That thing is just as useful to Shan Hai, isn't it?" Ling Xiao watched Shen Qian walk away and couldn't help but sigh.
"Forget it, it's not some amazing treasure. This kid is going to college after all, he needs to have something presentable to rely on, so he won't embarrass me."
Liu Changqing seemed quite philosophical about it, and chuckled.
"...What if I told you he earned over 500 million during this holiday?" Shi Dingyan couldn't help but say quietly.
"What did you say?" Liu Changqing froze, slowly turning his head. "Five hundred million?"
"Conservatively speaking, the actual figure is likely much higher," Shi Dingyan chuckled. "Does it hurt?"
"I……"
Liu Changqing almost couldn't catch his breath.
Once he regained his senses, Liu Changqing got up and went to find Shen Qian, while Shi Dingyan and Ling Xiao exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.
"Ruoshui is acting strangely today."
Shi Dingyan quickly shifted his thoughts to another matter, glanced at the slender figure who hadn't spoken a word the whole time, and whispered.
Ling Xiao wanted to say something, but then, as if remembering something, he frowned and fell silent.
"Mountains may crumble, rivers may run dry, winter thunder may roar, summer snow may fall—what then is love in this world...? It's all an illusion, all an illusion!"
Wu Jun drank her wine by herself, shook her head and sighed.
