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

#803 - Unexpected attack

However, Nan Ping's face immediately showed a hint of anger, and she said, "I am not such a mercenary person.

I am not a Holy Maiden, just an examiner. How could I possibly accept your things? If that were the case, wouldn't selecting whoever gives the most gifts ruin the rules?

I thought you were an honest person, so I came out to meet you and give you a few pointers. I didn't expect you to be so obsessed with money.

Then leave. You haven't passed."

With that, she sat down, turned her head to the side, and said angrily, "I really misjudged you!"

Li Chengfeng was deeply embarrassed. He hadn't expected that the other party wouldn't be greedy for wealth like other cultivators, or think that the gift he sent was too small.

But in reality, the gift he had sent was already one in a million rare treasures.

It seemed that the other party was truly a person of such temperament, unmoved by external things.

Li Chengfeng sheepishly put away the item and said, "Haha, fellow Daoist, don't be offended. I was also testing you to see if you were truly considering the Holy Maiden's lifelong happiness.

If you were only greedy for bribes, then I would have to expose you. Now it seems that fellow Daoist is indeed a person of principle. I, Li Chengfeng, admire you!"

Upon hearing Li Chengfeng's words, Nan Ping's expression improved slightly, and she said, "Hmph, although you passed this time, don't play such testing tricks in the future.

We cultivators should focus on character and cultivation, not these worldly things."

Nan Ping turned her head, her eyes filled with curiosity and scrutiny, and said, "Are you telling the truth? Is there really nothing in the box?"

"Of course."

Li Chengfeng said frankly, then opened the box. Sure enough, it was empty, with nothing inside.

Seeing this, Nan Ping chuckled and said, "You really are a strange person, so cautious in everything you do.

Are you testing whether I am really here to supervise on behalf of the young lady? There's really no need.

After all, apart from you trial participants, no one else can enter here unless they have the Holy Maiden's special token.

I came in with the token. The others, some died, some fled, some hid, and only you walked here step by step.

I can see that those people all died at your hands. This shows that your strength, mind, and wisdom are unmatched."

Li Chengfeng laughed and said modestly, "I was just lucky. I had a bit of luck, and my strength isn't as great as you imagine."

The woman smiled and said, "Good, you are so humble and reasonable, and you are also so handsome and dashing.

I have already reserved you for the Holy Maiden. After all, the remaining two, one hid and one fled. Their fates are already sealed.

The reason I came to see you so early is because the time is up, and I must leave quickly.

I am not a trial participant. If I stay too long and am discovered by the elders, I will inevitably be punished. So I must leave as soon as possible.

The reason I came to see you was because I wanted to determine your speech and character.

Now it seems that you are indeed good. Since you have passed the test, I must leave.

Before leaving, the Holy Maiden asked me to give you a treasure. Keep it with you, and you can use it to escape in case of danger. This is a Teleportation Pearl."

With that, she took out an egg-sized pearl. The pearl had layers of seals on it, and it contained the aura of teleportation.

Li Chengfeng knew at a glance that it was definitely extraordinary. He scanned it with his divine sense, trying to penetrate the pearl to see what was inside, but found that the outside of the pearl seemed to be covered with a layer of anti-spy film, and his divine sense could not see what was inside.

Nan Ping held the precious Teleportation Pearl and respectfully handed it to Li Chengfeng, saying, "Take it. This is a good treasure for you to protect yourself.

The danger I am talking about does not refer to the two guys who have already fled or hidden, but I am worried that some Grand Elders will secretly send assassins.

In fact, they have long decided on the people they support. In case some elders take the risk to assassinate you, you can crush this pearl and escape instantly. This is like having an extra life."

Li Chengfeng was very grateful. He took the pearl and said with a smile, "Thank you for your support, Fellow Daoist Nan Ping, and thank you for the Holy Maiden's kindness.

I will definitely participate well in the trial and give the Holy Maiden a satisfactory answer."

He treasured it as if he had obtained a treasure, and carefully put the pearl in his arms. It still had a trace of the Holy Maiden's fragrance, which made his heart flutter.

Nan Ping smiled and said, "You men are really all like this.

The more mysterious and beautiful a woman is, the more you admire her."

Li Chengfeng smiled and replied, "Even you, Miss Nan Ping, are not bad. You are beautiful and unmatched.

Your future Dao companion will definitely be a dragon among men."

Nan Ping sighed, her tone revealing a hint of helplessness and sadness, and said, "We maids don't have such good fate.

The cultivation techniques we practice are special, and unlike you, we cannot choose a Dao companion to cultivate with. We can only accompany the Holy Maiden for eternity, until we are exhausted and die an unnatural death.

As long as we are alive, we are like the Holy Maiden's clone, blocking disasters and resisting dangers for her.

Okay, I won't say anymore. Take care of yourself. I'm leaving now."

With that, she turned to leave, suddenly starting to quickly form hand seals and cast spells, and said softly, "Goodbye!"

Looking at her, Li Chengfeng suddenly felt a special sense of crisis.

He had a deep understanding of cultivation techniques, secret manuals, restrictions, and teleportation arrays, and he could tell at a glance that the other party's technique was strange. This was clearly an explosion incantation, not a teleportation incantation.

Li Chengfeng's mouth twitched, and he thought of the pearl in his arms, feeling terrified.

This pearl was actually given to him by Miss Nan Ping specifically to detonate!

As the incantation ended, a sudden roar rang out in the air.

The entire world seemed to be shocked by this ray of thunder and fire. The power of the thunder and fire was extremely strong. As long as it got close to the body, once it exploded, even a Core Formation stage cultivator would be shattered to pieces, let alone a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

However, Miss Nan Ping opened her mouth wide, her face filled with disbelief.

Because it was not Li Chengfeng who exploded, but a mountain hundreds of feet away from here.

The mountain was hundreds of feet high, standing there like a huge screen, but now it was directly flattened, which shows the power of the explosion.

Miss Nan Ping was shocked. The pearl was clearly placed in Li Chengfeng's arms, so why did it explode there? She couldn't accept this fact.

She asked in a trembling voice, "How is this possible? How did you know my methods, and how did you throw the pearl onto the mountain hundreds of feet away?"
