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

#289 - Blood Stone

Yu Yan was initially somewhat reserved, but she soon realized that Li Chengfeng had completely immersed himself in the role, without any flaws. His nonchalance and composure filled Qi Yan with admiration.

You should know that the entire city was hunting Li Chengfeng, and the reward had been increased to two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones. This was jointly funded by Cold Ice Mountain and Tianlu Bazaar, and some other forces, such as the Blood Clan, were also eyeing Li Chengfeng, eager to eliminate him.

In this atmosphere, Li Chengfeng acted as if nothing had happened. That kind of demeanor made Qi Yan sigh, no wonder this person is so difficult to deal with, his heart is extremely firm.

If it were her, she would have hidden far away, afraid to show herself in public.

Yu Yan calmed her mind and swaggered through the city with Li Chengfeng, which, on the contrary, did not arouse anyone's suspicion.

After all, some people still recognized Qiu Fengyue. When they discovered it was Qiu Fengyue from the Qingyun Sect, people stopped paying attention.

Yu Yan followed closely behind Li Chengfeng, looking like a damsel in distress, as if the two were in the throes of love.

They arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, immediately attracting the attention of the steward.

This wasn't Yu Yan's first time here; she always brought big business, so the steward of the City Lord's Mansion was very familiar with her.

The steward was old, with only the eighth level of Qi Refining cultivation, but he was sophisticated and spoke with great tact.

He asked, "Fairy Yu, have you brought another big business this time?

This young master looks very familiar, a bit like Qiu Fengyue, Young Master Qiu of the Qingyun Sect. I wonder if my guess is accurate?"

Li Chengfeng laughed and said, "That's right, it is Qiu.

You truly have an eye for talent."

As he spoke, Li Chengfeng directly threw a medium-grade spirit stone, hitting the steward's hand, and said, "Take it and buy some spirit pills to improve your cultivation. Your strength is really too low."

The steward beamed and said, "Young Master Qiu is so generous, worthy of being a direct disciple of a great sect. I will take you to see the City Lord right away."

The steward was naturally happy; as expected of a disciple from a great sect, so generous.

It was said that this Young Master Qiu was arrogant and complacent; seeing him today, he certainly lived up to his name.

Seeing this scene, Qi Yan finally felt relieved, thinking that Li Chengfeng was truly good at disguises, not only did he look very similar, but even his personality was almost exactly the same.

The steward demonstrated his resourcefulness, and after receiving a medium-grade spirit stone from Li Chengfeng, he immediately notified the City Lord Wang Mang through a special sound transmission talisman, informing him that Qi Yan was bringing Qiu Fengyue to visit, and asking if the City Lord had time to receive them.

At this time, the City Lord was receiving a beautiful woman named Zhongli Meiying.

Zhongli Meiying had a graceful figure, unparalleled beauty, and exuded a cool aura. Her eyes seemed to speak.

City Lord Wang Mang had a burly figure, wearing the City Lord's battle armor, and exuded the majesty of a superior. He said to Zhongli Meiying, "Fellow Daoist Zhongli Meiying, you've come this time to cooperate with me in capturing Li Chengfeng, right?

But Li Chengfeng may not come to my Jinfeng City. Perhaps he has already left. I don't believe he would dare to stay in Jinfeng City after Tianlu Bazaar; it's too close to Tianlu Bazaar."

Zhongli Meiying replied, "I have a feeling that Li Chengfeng's appearance at Tianlu Bazaar was not a coincidence.

His purpose may have been to purchase extraterrestrial meteorites. You should know that he and Qiu Fengyue fought fiercely for that stone, and he also bought a stone and learned a world-shattering secret technique from it.

That palm strike can be said to be earth-shattering. He was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, yet he beat Qiu Fengyue, who was at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, without any power to resist.

If the guards of Tianlu Bazaar hadn't intervened, I'm afraid Qiu Fengyue would have been killed.

Now that Li Chengfeng has tasted this sweetness, will he come to Jinfeng City to target the meteorite in your possession, City Lord? I think he definitely will.

I've studied his style of doing things, and it's simply extraordinary courage, ruthless methods, and countless killings.

Such a person has set his sights on Jinfeng City. Doesn't the City Lord feel worried?"

City Lord Wang Mang laughed and said, "You all have praised Li Chengfeng to the heavens. In my opinion, it's just a coincidence.

He does have some tricks up his sleeve, that explosion talisman should be some kind of secret technique series.

But so what? I don't believe he has too many in his hand.

According to my calculations, that explosive power should be a Dao talisman refined by a Nascent Soul cultivator. You should know that the value of a Dao talisman is priceless, and even a great sect can't afford to use it so casually.

Besides, you're being turned around by a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Don't you think your own problem is bigger?

You always consider problems from your own perspective, which is exactly what he takes advantage of. I don't think he will come to my Jinfeng City, because he knows very well who his opponents are.

After he buys the meteorite, you will definitely think he will come here, but he absolutely won't.

If he comes, then he is not Li Chengfeng.

He should have fled long ago, which is why you are always one step late in catching him."

Zhongli Meiying frowned, displeased with City Lord Wang Mang's resolute words.

She knew that although the City Lord's words sounded somewhat dismissive, they were the truth.

They had indeed repeatedly failed to track Li Chengfeng's whereabouts, which made her feel frustrated and unable to refute.

Zhongli Meiying took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and then said, "City Lord, what you said makes sense.

However, I still hope to be prepared. We might as well set up an inescapable net. If Li Chengfeng really comes, we can catch him like a turtle in a jar;

If he doesn't come, we'll just waste some effort. All the expenses, including the formation and spirit stones, will be borne by the Blood Clan."

City Lord Wang Mang raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Zhongli Meiying, and said after a moment of contemplation, "Since your Blood Clan is so certain and willing to pay the spirit stones, then I can't say no.

After all, you have some friendship with Jinfeng City. Then let's set a deadline of one month. If Li Chengfeng doesn't come to the city within one month, we will dismantle the formation.

However, the spirit stones, manpower, and financial resources consumed within this month will be borne by your Blood Clan."

After a pause, the City Lord pointed to a red stone in the center of the living room and continued, "Whether we succeed or not, I want this Blood Nether Stone."

The Blood Nether Stone was a treasure enshrined in the Blood Clan's ancestral hall. The blood energy of every deceased member of the Blood Clan would be absorbed by this stone, nourishing the Great Dao laws within.

This was not just a simple stone, but a spiritual object of heaven and earth, specializing in absorbing yin energy, and filled with Dao charm and rules under the nourishment of blood energy.

As long as one cultivated while sitting on the Blood Nether Stone, one could have abundant qi and blood and a focused mind.

Although Zhongli Meiying felt a little heartache, she gritted her teeth and agreed, thinking that she could catch Li Chengfeng.

This Blood Nether Stone was indeed a treasure of the Blood Clan, but in order to catch Li Chengfeng, she had to offer such a price.

She knew that as long as she could master the Substitute Death Technique and Li Chengfeng's Extraterrestrial Avatar, the Blood Clan's power would be greatly enhanced.

All this sacrifice was worth it.

Zhongli Meiying smiled charmingly and said, "Of course, I have long heard of City Lord's love for strange stones.

This time, offering the Blood Nether Stone is not only for official business, but also a tribute from me to the City Lord, with no other meaning."

City Lord Wang Mang laughed and said, "It's true that one can wear out iron shoes in a fruitless search, only to find what one is looking for without even trying.

Aren't you trying to catch that Li Chengfeng? Qiu Fengyue, who was beaten up by Li Chengfeng, came to me to buy a stone.

Why don't you meet him and try to find out some information about Li Chengfeng's whereabouts? Maybe he knows some clues.

However, this person is very arrogant and complacent. As long as you praise him, he will be complacent!"
