Chapter 140 Hao Fei Presents Treasures (1)
Five days ago, after Luo Xuanyi sent Zhang Qiu back to the academy, she immediately set up a light escape and returned to Fu Jishan. Hao Fei had been waiting for a long time.
Luo Xuanyi felt herself growing hungrier and hungrier. She couldn't actually eat human food, and Fu Jizhen was filled with edible evil thoughts. Add to that the constant fighting, and she felt it was a miracle she'd been able to endure this long. She hurried deeper into the cave, which Hao Fei had patched up and rebuilt, and saw him leaning against a stone wall, lost in thought.
Hao Fei couldn't understand what Luo Xuanyi was going to do. She wanted him to create a formation to gather people's evil thoughts, but Hao Fei only knew that ghost cultivators could cultivate with dead energy and souls. What exactly were evil thoughts? The worst part was that Luo Xuanyi threw those words out and immediately went on to kill someone. He was left alone in the cave, racking his brains, almost crying.
Although Luo Xuanyi said "try", who knows if this is just a polite remark?
But no matter how much Hao Fei thought about it, it was useless. First of all, he was a ghost cultivator, not a strange cultivator like Luo Xuanyi. How could he try to collect evil thoughts when he couldn't even see them? Secondly, the time given was too short. If he could create such an unprecedented and powerful formation in such a short time, he might as well find a way to escape instead of being tortured here.
So, instead of thinking of a new formation, Hao Fei decided to just prepare the tribute and kneel down. When Luo Xuanyi came in, Hao Fei seemed dazed, but in reality, he was on edge. Once he spotted his target, he instantly appeared and knelt before Luo Xuanyi!
"Master, please forgive me! I, Hao Fei, am a loser. I failed to meet your expectations, so I can only offer you all my treasures! Of course, this is what I should have done. I only ask that you, considering my loyalty, give me a chance to redeem myself!"
This paragraph of words, which he had carefully arranged in his mind dozens of times, came out of his mouth fluently. For the effect, Hao Fei deliberately showed up and banged his head on the ground with a dull sound. He held up everything in his hands that might be noticed by Luo Xuanyi. The posture of his whole body was very distorted, which surprised Luo Xuanyi.
Only those without physical form, like ghost cultivators and treacherous cultivators, or those with liquid bodies like Luo Xuanyi's, could achieve this position without any damage. Luo Xuanyi sighed, finding it a bit amusing. She had only wanted to ask Hao Fei if he had a similar formation, but she hadn't expected Hao Fei to react so violently.
In fact, Hao Fei is really flexible. A demon cultivator who once defeated all Yuanying cultivators could actually be so servile. If it were someone else, they might really let Hao Fei survive.
However, Luo Xuanyi had already decided to kill Hao Fei.
Hao Fei didn't know that as long as he didn't try to backstab Luo Xuanyi before his value to her was completely exhausted, he wouldn't die. Conversely, even if he tried to please Luo Xuanyi now, once his value was gone, Hao Fei would be doomed.
This situation wasn't bad at all; after all, Hao Fei had been a Nascent Soul cultivator, so he should have a good eye. Luo Xuanyi didn't even ask Hao Fei to look up, simply examining each of Hao Fei's so-called "tributes."
Since Hao Fei had been killed and hidden in the formation, and had been trapped in Fuji Mountain for sixty years without leaving, he had very few things on him. Apart from the Demonic Blade Sha Dao that he had already put in his pocket, Hao Fei only had three items in his hands.
The first one looked familiar to Luo Xuanyi. She picked it up and examined it carefully, confirming it again and again. She hesitated and said, "Are you trying to trick me with some junk?"
Hao Fei was shocked. He didn't care about anything at this point. He looked up at what Luo Xuanyi was holding and shouted, "Absolutely not! Sir, this Peach Blossom Cover is just ordinary. It's actually just a misuse by later generations!"
He lifted his upper body, knelt, and picked up one of the two objects in his hand. It was a scroll painting. Hao Fei carefully opened it and saw a delicate painting of a peach blossom forest and a small hill. There was a stream flowing between the peach blossoms, and a small boat was floating on it.
"Master, please look. This painting is called Peach Blossom Journey, which is similar to the Peach Blossom Cover. Looking at it alone, it's a low-level magical weapon, which is why it's been passed down without being discovered by outsiders. In fact, Peach Blossom Journey, Peach Blossom Cover, and this," Hao Fei held up the third object on his knees, "Mountain Peach Axe. These three are truly wonderful magical weapons that are meant to be used together!"
Luo Xuanyi was playing with the peach blossom cover, also known as the bluestone cover. Thinking about the rumor that one would see the person they loved after entering a state of suspended animation, she began to doubt whether Hao Fei had made this up.
Luo Xuanyi gestured for Hao Fei to continue. Hao Fei, as if seizing a chance to survive, wiped his forehead exaggeratedly. "These three things are collectively known as the Peach Blossom Land, founded by the leader of an evil sect. This sect was founded before the Myriad Souls Sect, but later fled to the overseas immortal mountain Penglai to escape the Myriad Souls Sect's massacres and gather up the major sects. After the Myriad Souls Sect's fall, the leader returned to the Six Provinces to investigate the situation, but unexpectedly fell in love with a female cultivator of the righteous path..."
"Get to the point." Luo Xuanyi was not interested in the sect leader's love history, so she kicked him to signal them to skip this part.
"Ah. Anyway, after the two fell in love, the female cultivator wanted to kill the Sect Master after he revealed his identity. The Sect Master was heartbroken and asked the female cultivator to do it. As a result, the female cultivator destroyed the Sect Master's cultivation. On the way to take it back to the sect for disposal, she was besieged by a group of demonic cultivators. The female cultivator was outnumbered and died in the battle. In order to win over the Sect Master's sect, the demonic cultivators released the Sect Master."
What a clichéd, melodramatic story! Luo Xuanyi almost yawned as she listened, but Hao Fei was telling the story with such enthusiasm that for a moment he seemed like a storyteller.
"The Sect Master was too full of hatred to thank them, so how could he possibly be grateful? He used the excuse of a deep hatred for the female cultivator to gather all of her belongings and bring them back to Penglai. He wanted revenge but had lost his cultivation, and was worried that when he emerged again, his enemies would be gone. Therefore, he wanted to refine a magical weapon that could slow down time for cultivation. One day outside would equal one year here."
Luo Xuanyi's thoughts were about to drift away when they were suddenly pulled back. A day outside is a year here. Isn't this the best magic weapon for cultivation?
Seeing Luo Xuanyi finally change her impatient expression, Hao Fei finally felt that his life was saved, and couldn't help but feel proud of his wise decision. Although he had played his biggest trump card, it was still more important to stay alive!
Hao Fei, who thought he had solved a crisis, cheered up and continued to explain under Luo Xuanyi's urging gaze.
Fourth update~After thinking about it, it is more appropriate to tell a melodramatic story to suit Hao Fei's temperament hh
I miscalculated, I just can't hold on today, I'll post the fifth update tomorrow (should be this evening hh). I'll definitely finish it ahead of time!
