Chapter 118 Immortal Artifacts, Gold Bricks
Inside the secret room, Han Wei was radiating a bluish glow.
Her long hair moved without wind, and many totems resembling plants and flowers appeared on her fair, jade-like skin. A red, petal-shaped mark appeared between her brows, growing increasingly vivid, like blood, and the spiritual light emanating from her grew stronger.
Han Wei's spiritual pressure filled the entire secret chamber. After three days and three nights, she finally broke through the bottleneck of the early stage of the Fusion Realm and entered the middle stage of the Fusion Realm.
Before she had finished consuming the pills in the secret chamber, Han Wei raised her hand, and bottles and jars of elixirs flew over in a line. After opening them all, the pills jumped into her mouth one by one. Han Wei continued to take the pills, then refine them, and then resume her cultivation.
Four more days passed. Although Han Wei had consumed all the pills in the entire secret chamber, it was a pity that the remaining pills only raised her cultivation to the peak of the mid-stage of the Integration Realm, but failed to allow her to enter the late-stage of the Integration Realm.
Han Wei was not disappointed; cultivation was inherently more difficult as one progressed. At a normal pace, advancing a minor realm after reaching the Integration Stage could take anywhere from several hundred to several thousand years, and it was common for some to not make any progress even after ten thousand years.
Rumble—
Outside, Li Chong was still attacking the protective array outside the secret chamber. Han Wei watched as the runes on the wall grew fainter and fainter; the protective array was about to collapse. What should they do now?
Although her strength had increased to the peak of the mid-stage of the Integration Realm, that guy was already at the peak of the late-stage of the Integration Realm. He also possessed the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, claimed to be a core disciple of the Lingtian Palace, and had a master at the Tribulation Transcending stage, so he must have other trump cards.
If I were to confront him head-on, I fear I would pay a heavy price.
After pondering for a moment, Han Wei began checking her storage bracelet. She was searching for any trump cards she might have that could deal with Li Chong.
Huh?
This is……
Han Wei took out an item from the space inside her storage bracelet—a brick. It was a brick Gu Qi had given her. Years ago, when she went to the Red Deer Mountain Secret Realm, she had asked Gu Qi for a magical artifact. Besides giving her the Five-Colored Celestial Robe, Gu Qi had also given her a brick.
They said this brick is hard and can be used to hit people.
When she received this ordinary-looking brick, she thought Gu Qi was teasing her and even wanted to smash it on Gu Qi's head.
But now...
The unremarkable bluestone brick had a lot of powder peeled off, revealing the golden part inside. Han Wei picked up the brick and applied force, and the outer layer of some unknown material peeled off completely, revealing its original golden appearance.
This is a gold brick.
These gold bricks are not ordinary gold; they are made by mixing special metals with celestial gold.
This...this is actually a celestial artifact even more precious than the Heavenly Treasure.
This is actually a celestial artifact?
Han Wei couldn't believe it.
Gu Qi placed a magical artifact with her.
Han Wei was stunned as she held the gold brick.
Rumble—
The tremors in the secret chamber intensified, and Li Chong outside shouted, "Beauty, this barrier can't hold! Why don't you surrender!"
Han Wei returned to the present situation, holding the gold brick, and called out to the outside, "Wait!"
Li Chong and his two puppets outside stopped. Li Chong asked, "What's wrong? Have you figured it out?"
"If you want me to become your Daoist partner, you must agree to three conditions?"
Standing outside, Li Chong listened to these words and thought to himself: She must know that this restriction can't hold back, so she gave in. Just thinking of Han Wei's beautiful face and her top-tier furnace-cauldron physique, even hearing her voice made his heart flutter. He looked at the closed door of the secret chamber and said:
"Three conditions? I can agree to any three hundred conditions you set."
"Okay! First condition: the full-length mirror is mine, and you can't take it!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chong immediately said, "Yes, yes, didn't I already say so? You can take this mirror as you please."
"The second condition is that I will not share my husband with anyone else, and you cannot have other concubines."
Li Chong laughed heartily: "That's even simpler. With my wife, why would I need any other concubines!"
"The third one..."
Han Wei paused suddenly as she spoke, and Li Chong asked impatiently, "What is the third condition?"
"Does this marriage need to be discussed with my husband?"
What?
Li Chong's expression changed.
Just then, the door to the locked room suddenly opened.
While Li Chong was still in shock, a beam of golden light suddenly shot out as the door opened. The light was incredibly fast and struck him squarely on the forehead. Li Chong had no time to dodge. Although he possessed a magical artifact that could automatically protect him, the protective shield it created was completely ineffective against the golden light.
Bang!
Li Chong was struck, his skull shattered, and his primordial spirit was severely damaged in an instant, with countless cracks appearing.
He just collapsed and died.
Han Wei flashed out, and the golden light flew back into her hand; it was a gold brick.
Han Wei weighed the gold brick in her hand, thinking to herself: Let alone the peak of the late stage of the Integration Realm, even if someone in the Tribulation Transcending Realm came, they would be finished if they were hit by it.
The power of the immortal artifact is indeed extraordinary!
She looked at Li Chong, who lay dead with his eyes wide open, and gave a cold laugh.
Suddenly, she thought of Gu Qi, and a sense of unease returned to her. Why did he give her this celestial artifact? Didn't he know it was a celestial artifact? Han Wei felt that this was unlikely. Even cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage didn't possess many celestial artifacts. Gu Qi had entrusted such a magical treasure to her; he... he really cared for her...
She recalled the scenes of how she killed him.
Guilt washed over me like a tidal wave.
But if Gu Qi hadn't died, where would Lu Qingheng have come from?
Han Wei looked down at the jade pendant on her chest, the one Lu Qingheng had given her. Even if she had wronged Gu Qi, she would make it up to him in his next life.
Han Wei put away the gold bricks, then looked at the two motionless puppets next to Li Chong. She reached out and sealed the two puppets, then looked at Li Chong's corpse.
She reached out and grabbed at his corpse, and his body burst into flames, the flames blooming like lotus flowers on his body.
With a flick of her finger, Han Wei drew the Karmic Fire Red Lotus from his body. As streams of flame surged from his body, they gathered in the air, forming a giant lotus flower. The entire space burst into flames, turning into a sea of fire.
This fiery red lotus was refined by Li Chong. Although he is dead, this fiery red lotus is still difficult to tame.
Han Wei sat down cross-legged, formed hand seals, and cast spells, continuously compressing the enormous Karmic Fire Lotus until it was the size of a palm. She then absorbed it into her body and placed it in the fire attribute area of the Wood Spirit Cave.
As soon as the Karmic Fire Crimson Lotus entered the Wood Spirit Cave Heaven, it went berserk, frantically releasing its power. Inside the Wood Spirit Cave Heaven, fire-attribute natural treasures such as Earth Flame and Blazing Sun Flower vied for territory with this newcomer, but were quickly devoured by it, causing the Karmic Fire Crimson Lotus's power to surge.
