Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

Lou Lan's gaze was as sharp as a real steel blade, directly piercing the depths of Li Chengfeng's sea of consciousness, making him experience an unprecedented sense of oppression.

He realized with alarm that Lou Lan's divine sense was so strong that it was beyond the reach of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, approaching the threshold of the Golden Core realm.

Later, Lou Lan had cultivated the Mental Thorn to perfection. This technique was like an indestructible spike, specializing in attacking the divine soul, making it difficult to defend against.

Lou Lan nodded slightly, praising, "Your divine sense strength far surpasses ordinary cultivators. You haven't been lazy, which is commendable.

Remember the three-year deadline. I hope you can make greater breakthroughs. These pills were personally refined by me, specifically for enhancing divine sense. There are twelve in total. Take them for now."

Li Chengfeng respectfully accepted the pills, his reverence for Lou Lan deepening.

He deeply knew that Lou Lan's strength was unfathomable and his mind was deep. In front of him, he absolutely dared not act rashly.

He understood that relying solely on Zhan Wusi's power was far from enough. He had to accelerate his cultivation pace, otherwise, he would eventually fall behind Lou Lan and be killed.

After Lou Lan left, Li Chengfeng took a deep breath, a sense of urgency rising in his heart.

Li Chengfeng sat down cross-legged, calmed his mind, and took out Gu Fei's storage bag. Inside were 1,000 middle-grade spirit stones and 50,000 low-grade spirit stones.

This guy was quite wealthy after all, being the manager of the Blood Pool. However, this little bit of wealth was just a drop in the bucket for Li Chengfeng's upcoming plans.

Soon, Ruan Fei hurried over, informing Li Chengfeng that everything had been carried out according to plan.

"Everything is exactly as you said, Master."

Li Chengfeng nodded, instructing Ruan Fei to remain calm, turning a blind eye to whatever happened, and maintaining his aloof demeanor.

Ruan Fei repeatedly agreed, saying, "Master, I will be careful, otherwise, I will die without a burial place."

Afterward, Li Chengfeng followed Ruan Fei to the cave dwelling of the Blood Pool's chief steward, Zhan Wusi.

The cave dwelling was magnificent, inlaid with various exquisite jade stones at the entrance. The interior was even more antique, showing luxury.

The two maids at the entrance, both with Qi Refining stage tenth level cultivation, were beautiful and charming. Seeing Li Chengfeng's arrival, they smiled brightly, frequently casting flirtatious glances.

Li Chengfeng lowered his head, not daring to look directly at them, only able to offer an awkward smile.

Under the guidance of the maids, the two entered Zhan Wusi's room.

Li Chengfeng took a deep breath, preparing to implement his plan. He deeply knew that this meeting would be an opportunity for him to change his fate.

Inside the room, there was a square table carved from exquisite jade, its luster as if containing some mysterious spiritual energy.

Next to it, on an antique grandmaster chair, sat a stunningly beautiful woman. Her eyes flowed, like a fairy walking out of a painting, her beauty captivating, every frown and smile exuding a captivating charm.

Li Chengfeng was deeply attracted by this beautiful scene, his gaze dull, as if he was frozen in place.

The maid on the side couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.

Ruan Fei secretly praised in his heart, "Master is truly a superb actor."

He glanced at Li Chengfeng, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, expressing his dissatisfaction.

The beautiful young woman, who was the chief steward Zhan Wusi, didn't seem to notice the surrounding atmosphere. She娇嗔 asked, "Li Chengfeng, do you think I'm really that beautiful?"

Li Chengfeng then came back to his senses and hurriedly apologized, "Madam, I was rude just now. You are indeed the number one beauty in the world. My words were inappropriate, please forgive me."

Zhan Wusi interjected in a timely manner, "Li Chengfeng, what do you want from me?"

Upon hearing this, a trace of sorrow flashed in Li Chengfeng's eyes, and tears welled up, "Madam, please save me!" His voice trembled, his legs softened, and he collapsed to the ground.

"What grievances do you have? Tell me, and I will definitely stand up for you," Zhan Wusi comforted softly.

Li Chengfeng said in a trembling voice, "Lou Lan taught me a technique called 'Celestial Thorn,' which is actually harming me.

I had no choice after I found out. If I didn't cultivate it, I would die. But after cultivating it, I found myself as if bound by an invisible shackle, unable to break free."

Upon hearing this, a trace of interest flashed in the woman's eyes. She stared at Li Chengfeng, signaling him to continue.

Li Chengfeng took a deep breath and recounted the complete content of the technique one by one. The more the woman listened, the more solemn her expression became. Finally, a greedy look appeared in her eyes.

It turned out that this Zhan Wusi had been stuck at the late stage of Foundation Establishment and could not break through. She was fifty years old, but thanks to her maintenance and immortal cultivation techniques, she still looked like a young woman of twenty-seven or eight years old.

The death of her son, Xue Wenlong, had been a great blow to her. She yearned to quickly increase her strength to avenge him. However, that bottleneck was like a chasm, difficult to overcome.

Recently, she had discovered that Lou Lan's behavior was strange and his cultivation speed was abnormally fast, which made her suspicious.

Now, hearing Li Chengfeng's description of the technique, she finally understood the reason for Lou Lan's rapid cultivation speed—his divine sense was stronger than imagined.

She secretly pondered how to use this technique to break through her bottleneck.

Li Chengfeng keenly captured the heat in Zhan Wusi's eyes. Seeing that she was already immersed in the technique he described, the stone in his heart finally landed.

Lou Lan, ah Lou Lan, someone is finally going to deal with you.

However, just as he was about to continue explaining the technique, he suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

His body swayed, and a bloody shadow cultivating the "Celestial Thorn" rushed out of his body, clutching its head and rolling on the ground, then exploded, turning into a wisp of blood qi and dissipating between heaven and earth.

Li Chengfeng's face instantly turned pale, his heart shocked.

It turned out that this "Celestial Thorn" technique was so strange that it could kill people silently.

He had originally planned to use the blood shadow to cultivate, in order to avoid risks, but he did not expect that he would still almost lose his life.

He was glad that he had not rashly cultivated it, otherwise, he would probably have died by now.

Seeing this, Zhan Wusi was not discouraged or frustrated, but became even more excited.

She was extremely intelligent and immediately understood Li Chengfeng's intentions.

She looked at Li Chengfeng, her eyes deep, and said, "I really underestimated you. You were able to come up with such a plan to avoid disaster.

But are you also using me, wanting me to deal with Lou Lan, so as to achieve your goals?"

Li Chengfeng hurriedly explained in a panic-stricken manner, "How dare I have such thoughts? It's just because I'm stupid and have poor cultivation talent that I came up with such a method.

I originally planned to cultivate in the cave, and let the blood shadow do the rest of the time. If I can't meet Lou Lan's requirements within three years, I will die. I didn't expect that, by a twist of fate, I saved my own life."

Zhan Wusi nodded, expressing her understanding. She said, "What you said makes sense. If not,

You would probably have died long ago, and I wouldn't have gotten the complete technique. Now, say the technique again, there shouldn't be any problems."

Li Chengfeng nodded and immediately explained the complete "Celestial Thorn" technique in detail.

After listening, Zhan Wusi nodded and said, "Not bad, but I can't cultivate this technique either. The one who can truly control this technique should be Lou Lan.

He has a way to devour the divine sense of cultivators. Anyone who cultivates the 'Celestial Thorn' will have their divine sense used by him. If I'm not mistaken, Lou Lan should want to monopolize this technique."

Li Chengfeng also knew this, but he was troubled by the fact that he couldn't crack it.

"Chief Steward, what you said is so true, how could I not have thought of that!"

Zhan Wusi looked at him meaningfully and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter anymore, I will take care of it for you."
