Xuan Lingzi's brows furrowed, and he said, "Jianqing, stop messing around!"
Luo Jianqing grabbed Xuan Lingzi's hand, pressing their palms together. He said, "You've never wanted me to leave Taihua Mountain before, wanting me to concentrate on my cultivation. Why is it that this time, you're the one who wants me to leave, and to a place like the Demonic Palace, thousands of miles away?"
Xuan Lingzi sighed softly, put his arm around Luo Jianqing's waist, and led him into the bamboo house. As they walked, he said, "Master wants you to go, and naturally I have my own reasons. The Blood Spirit Fruit you obtained from Liuyan Valley came from the Demon Dao Palace. Since this Blood Spirit Fruit has been contracted with you, it is naturally destined to be with you. Although it is only one-third of its size left, Master will help you break the contract now. When you go to the Demon Dao Palace, I will return it to the Demon Lord."
Hearing this, Luo Jianqing was stunned: "Demon Lord?"
Xuan Lingzi nodded and explained the whole story.
After listening to this, Luo Jianqing felt deeply moved, but was still a little confused: "Master, although this Blood Spirit Fruit belongs to the Demon Lord, since it is already mine, and you also said that it is predestined for us, then why should I return it personally? We cultivators have never voluntarily returned opportunities."
Xuan Lingzi looked at Luo Jianqing and said, "Indeed, if you obtain it, it should be yours. This is always true. However, compared to this Blood Spirit Fruit that can improve your cultivation, I hope that the Demon Lord can break through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage. That way, we can leave Taihua Mountain, and I can accompany you to travel around and see the vast world."
Luo Jianqing was confused again, so Xuan Lingzi explained, "That Mo Qianqiu has reached the late Mahayana stage. His Blood Spirit Art is naturally different from other demon cultivators. If I'm not mistaken, his strength is too great, so the Blood Spirit Fruit was split into nine, and you got one of them. While having only one of them wouldn't necessarily cause the Blood Spirit Art to fail, it would still cause significant damage, increasing the failure rate to over 90%. I don't know why the Demon Lord hasn't attacked you yet, but it's best if you return the Blood Spirit Fruit. Even if only one-third remains, it's still the product of the Demon Lord's condensed blood power."
This issue already concerned the prosperity of the human race and the peace between the two races, so Luo Jianqing naturally didn't dare to be greedy. He agreed with Xuan Lingzi's statement, but he still didn't understand something: "Why must I go to the Demonic Palace? Why can't Master Yu Qingzi take me there?"
Xuan Lingzi said, "The fewer people who know about the Demon Lord's use of the Blood Spirit Art, the better. Aside from the people the Demon Lord has told, I'm afraid only you, me, and the Heavenly Demon Lord know. While I don't know how the Demon Lord's Blood Spirit Art differs from that of ordinary demon cultivators, and why he didn't simply consume nine Blood Spirit Fruits at once, it's always better to be cautious. Furthermore, the seal placed on your dantian was forced in place by the pressure of a Spirit Transformation cultivator. No one in the world except me can break it. Breaking that seal requires immense effort, and the Blood Spirit Fruit has become fused with your mind. The longer it's out of your body, the harder it will be to preserve. Wait until you reach the Demon Dao Palace to remove this Blood Spirit Fruit from your dantian. Never remove it at any other time. The Heavenly Demon Lord is likely already aware of the Demon Lord's attempt to break through to the Spirit Transformation stage, and he might discover it."
Luo Jianqing responded carefully.
Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi then sat opposite each other on the bamboo couch, closing their eyes and meditating. Xuan Lingzi's palm pressed against Luo Jianqing's lower abdomen, carefully removing the complex seal. This removal process took three full days.
By the time Xuan Lingzi completely removed the seal of the Blood Spirit Fruit, Venerable Yu Qingzi had already sent a sound transmission note, ordering Luo Jianqing to gather at the gate of Taihua Mountain immediately.
Luo Jianqing hurriedly packed up his things, took the newly refined Frost Floating Sword, and hurried away. But after just two steps, he suddenly turned around, stood in front of Xuan Lingzi, and stared at him.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Luo Jianqing directly reached out and pulled Xuan Lingzi down, covering him with a passionate kiss. Xuan Lingzi was a little surprised at first, but then he hugged his disciple's waist and deepened the kiss.
They meditated facing each other for three days and three nights, their minds focused on removing the seal and they had no time to say goodbye.
The kiss was passionate and long. He finally let go when Luo Jianqing's lips were swollen and his cheeks were slightly red.
Xuan Lingzi's eyes gradually darkened, but he held back. He simply grabbed his disciple who was about to leave, kissed him gently, and warned him, "Be careful. Nothing in this world is more important than your life, Jianqing. Even if you can't see the Demon Lord this time and can't return the Blood Spirit Fruit, you must come back."
Luo Jianqing smiled, his eyes curved, and said, "Master, you have given me so many magical weapons, and also handed me a jade token to communicate with the Demon Lord. With Master Yu Qingzi personally leading the team this time, there will naturally be no problems."
Xuan Lingzi frowned and did not let go of Luo Jianqing's hand.
Luo Jianqing was surprised when Xuan Lingzi suddenly took out a white bead. The bead was jade-white, transparent and round. It was just an ordinary message bead, but in Xuan Lingzi's hand, it looked like a top-level magic weapon.
Xuan Lingzi said, "Over a hundred years ago, your master saved the Demon Lord's life on the battlefield where the two races were fighting. If you can just crush this bead, the Demon Lord will sense it. If he arrives in time, he will surely save your life."
Luo Jianqing accepted the beads, but still smiled and said, "Master, you are making a fuss out of nothing."
Xuan Lingzi suddenly hugged Luo Jianqing and sighed softly, "Jianqing, it would be great if I could go out with you..."
Luo Jianqing smiled and said, "Wait until the Demon Lord breaks through the God Transformation Stage, then it will be fine."
The two said goodbye, and this time Luo Jianqing truly flew away. Not long after, he found Venerable Yuqingzi, and together they, a group of more than a dozen people, headed for the Demonic Palace. Among this group, Wei Qiongyin, the lowest in cultivation, was at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, while Venerable Yuqingzi, the highest, had already reached the late stage of the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Realm.
Everyone directly boarded the Heaven-class flying magic weapon of Yuqingzi Venerable and arrived in three days.
