Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

"Hello, hello, is Qi Xiu here? Is Qi Xiu here?"

In the silent and peaceful Hunyuan Palace, a sudden sound caused Qi Xiu, who was meditating with his eyes closed, to open his eyes a little.

"Headmaster?"

With a flip of his palm, Qi Xiu took out the treasure [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Controlling Treasure Token] that Dongfang Qing had given him before he came to this world!

At this moment, above this precious order, purple-gold halos were flowing like thick magma, blurry and hazy, as if they were trying to condense into an illusory human figure.

However, there seemed to be some kind of force interfering and influencing it, preventing the figure on the precious order from condensing successfully.

Qi Xiu looked at the precious token in his hand thoughtfully, his eyes moved slightly, and he flicked his finger, sending a spiritual thought into it. He immediately felt a vague and ethereal connection.

With enlightenment in his mind, the majestic Hunyuan Qi was transformed into the power of the soul and merged into the precious order, like a gurgling stream that suddenly merges into the sea.

With the integration of Qi Xiu's spiritual power.

The blurry and flickering figure on the precious order immediately became solid. It was Dongfang Qing.

"Finally connected..."

Dongfang Qing breathed a sigh of relief after successfully establishing contact between the Tianyuan Realm and the Blood Lotus World.

The distance between the two worlds is separated by countless infinite heavens.

Even if he was a true soul, he couldn't communicate through voice at such a long distance.

Fortunately, he left a thought in the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Control Treasure Order] that he bestowed on Qi Xiu. Only then was he able to follow this connection, cross countless infinite sands, and barely send the message over.

Even so, if Qi Xiu had not extended it in the opposite direction, he might not have been able to completely stabilize the communication.

"Disciple greets the Master."

Seeing the image of Dongfang Qing appear on the [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Control Treasure Order], Qi Xiu bowed in salute.

"It happened outside, so there's no need to be polite. How are you doing in the Blood Lotus World?"

In fact, when Dongfang Qing saw that Qi Xiu was safe and sound and his expression was calm, he put his worries at ease.

Zhao Baiye disregarded the laws of the Taoist Alliance and plotted to take over the Blood Lotus World. He secretly placed people in an attempt to guide the demon lotus to the world and destroy the arrangements of the Taoist Alliance.

If he had not run fast, he would have been thrown into the Heavenly Prison by True Master Qinglian.

However, Zhao Baiye was expelled from the Taoist Alliance.

However, the power he placed in the Blood Lotus World still made Dongfang Qing feel a little doubtful.

The situation outside Tianyuan Realm is complicated now.

The Taoist Alliance needs to focus all its efforts on responding and has no time to spare to deal with matters concerning the Blood Lotus World.

Dongfang Qing's original intention was to bring Qi Xiu back directly.

Now that Zhao Baiye had run away, the previous bet was naturally no longer valid.

The [Twenty-four Sea-fixing Divine Pearls] are already in the bag.

There was no point for Qi Xiu to stay in the Blood Lotus World any longer, but just when he was about to bring Qi Xiu back.

An "unexpected" piece of news that came into his ears made him temporarily suppress this idea.

……

"Are you preparing to bring your precious disciple back?"

Outside Jiantian Camp, Dongfang Qing, who was about to take Qi Xiu back, heard the voice of Shen Wansan, the True God of Wealth.

Looking sideways at Shen Wansan who had a kind smile on his face, Dongfang Qing raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes.

"Stop laughing. I can hear your thoughts from a distance."

"Hey, what are you talking about? I came here today to give your precious disciple a great opportunity."

With his sleeves tucked in, Shen Wansan came to the side of Dongfang Qing and slightly turned the ring on his thumb. A powerful and obscure wave suddenly enveloped the entire Jiantian Camp, isolating it from all detection and calculations from the outside world.

"Stop it."

Glancing at Shen Wansan, Dongfang Qing looked up and down at the True God of Wealth:

"The Shen family motto is, there is no gain without early rise.

Would you give my disciples opportunities for nothing?"

"What are you talking about? If you don't listen, I'm leaving." Upon hearing this, Shen Wansan pretended to be displeased and turned around to leave.

"Walk slowly without sending."

Dongfang Qing didn't buy it at all. He sneered, waved his hand, turned around and was about to cast a spell to bring Qi Xiu back.

Seeing that Dongfang Qing was unmoved, Shen Wansan sucked his teeth, turned around and smiled again:

"Look at you. We have been friends for so many years. My disciple is your disciple, and your disciple is mine..."

"Still my disciple."

"Okay, okay, it's yours, who wants to snatch it from you?

Enough of the joke, let me tell you something serious.

Do you know why Zhao Baiye risked violating the Dao League's rules to intervene in the Blood Lotus World, and even spent a lot of effort to induce the demon lotus to descend into the world, wanting to completely control that world?"

Talking about business, Dongfang Qing also put away the playful look on his face and frowned:

"You got the inside scoop?"

"Of course, otherwise I could come to you."

Raising his eyebrows, Shen Wansan flipped his palm and took out a jade tablet. There were flowing Taoist patterns on it, and the aura was lingering. A lotus throne evolved in the void, and a surging sea of ​​blood appeared faintly.

"This is……"

Looking at the blood lotus platform, Dongfang Qing's expression suddenly froze.

"Karma Fire Red Lotus? Could it be..."

“That’s right, within the core of the Blood Lotus World, there is a lotus seed of the twelfth-grade Karma Fire Red Lotus.

The red lotus karmic fire has the magical power to cleanse the karma of cause and effect.

The reincarnation of the Blood Lotus World itself was burned through by the red lotus karma fire.

Living beings die, their residual souls accumulate, and eventually return to the core Ksitigarbha. After being burned by the red lotus fire, they become innate spirit seeds that are not affected by any cause and effect.

The spiritual seed takes root, the Dao attaches to it, and over time it turns into a Dao fetus.

It is precisely because of this lotus seed that so many so-called idols were created.”

Shen Wansan explained the origin of the blood lotus phantom in his hand with a sharp look in his eyes. When he was about to continue speaking, Dongfang Qing raised his hand to interrupt him.

“The Dao fetus produced in the Blood Lotus World is the private property of the Dao Alliance.

You wanted to steal the lotus seed privately and ruined the Taoist Alliance's plan.

Have you forgotten the example of Zhao Baiye right before your eyes?"

Hearing Dongfang Qing's warning, Shen Wansan smiled helplessly:

"What are you thinking? Mr. Shen is a businessman, not a robber, not to mention that it belongs to the Dao League.

This lotus seed is not what I want.

It is another thing that was brought into the Blood Lotus World along with the lotus seed."

"What is it?" Dongfang Qing's eyes moved.

"Flying Fairy Pot!"

"The Feixian Pot is in the Blood Lotus World?!"

His eyes widened slightly, as if the name of "Flying Fairy Pot" surprised and astonished Dongfang Qing more than the karma fire red lotus seeds, and his voice couldn't help but get louder.

"Why don't you make your voice louder and attract everyone here."

Giving Dongfang Qing a blank look, Shen Wansan stroked the jade tablet in his hand. In the center of the stacked lotus throne, there was a round, dark blue medicine pot with an ancient Dadao seal engraved on the front. It was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and it was wrapped in a blazing, bright red fire.

"It really is……"

Focusing his eyes on the antique, dark blue medicine pot that contained a strong avenue of charm, Dongfang Qing raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Wansan:

"Where did you get the news?"

"Then just forget about it, how about cooperating.

Let your disciple take back the [Flying Fairy Pot], and I only want 30% of your future profits, how about that? " Putting away the jade tablet, holding up three fingers, Shen Wansan smiled and said:

"This is a great deal."

"It's a good deal, but Fatty Shen, you are such a stingy person, you actually revealed such important information to me for nothing, and you are willing to give me the [Flying Fairy Pot] just like that.

Do you think that I am a person who loses his mind when seeing money and forgets everything else when seeing good things?

Tell me, what are you planning?

You said it yourself, there is still room for us to cooperate, if I find out..."

Dongfang Qing hesitated to speak, but the meaning of his words was already very clear.

Shen Wansan was a businessman who valued money more than his life.

It is simply a fantasy that he is willing to hand over such a magical object as the [Flying Fairy Pot] to others.

If someone who didn't know him well, they might really think that Shen Wansan was a generous and kind person.

But Dongfang Qing knew him too well.

This is simply not something he could do.

Just like no matter how a tiger changes, it can never eat grass.

Feeling Dongfang Qing's gradually deepening gaze, Shen Wansan turned his head away uncomfortably:

"What can I do? True Venerable Qinglian has ordered us not to leave the Tianyuan Realm without permission. All of us in the Jiantian Camp are allowed to enter but not leave.

I just got the news too.

This is just a matter of time. It just so happens that your disciple is in the Blood Lotus World, so it's convenient for you."

"Really……"

The piercing gaze made Shen Wansan's eyes twitch slightly, but he still tried his best to remain calm.

"real!"

"Oh, okay, I believe you."

Dongfang Qing smiled and walked forward, patting Shen Wansan on the shoulder.

"It's such a good thing that you can think of my disciple. This kindness will be remembered by this sect.

But if things are not what you said.

Then you must also be prepared to fight me to the death.

After all, I am still young and can survive at least two more disasters.

Hiss, I remember your doom, Shopkeeper Shen, it seems to be coming soon, are you sure? "

Listening to Dongfang Qing's words that seemed to be concerned but were actually threatening, Shen Wansan also realized that he could not fool this old fox after all.

"Okay, stop scaring me.

To tell you the truth, the [Flying Fairy Pot] from the Blood Lotus World is undoubtedly authentic.

But according to my investigation, this artifact seems to be tainted with a curse."

"curse?"

Dongfang Qing frowned upon hearing the voice, and couldn't help but exert some force on his right hand which was pressing on Shen Wansan's shoulder.

“Don’t get me wrong, this curse is not some vicious and deadly evil curse, but my inference.

As far as I know, there are four people who have been recorded as having wielded the Feixian Pot.

The first one is the Dragon King of the West Sea from the true dragon clan.

The second is the ancient god [Laojun].

The third is the ancient demon sect, the Demon Eater Sect.

The fourth one... is the number one in the world in the recent ancient times!"

"Wait, these four people in power you mentioned seem to be the last..." Hearing this, Dongfang Qing also tasted something.

“That’s right, all the masters of the Feixian Pot in the past mysteriously disappeared for unknown reasons.

That’s why I said that the [Flying Fairy Pot] was cursed.”
