Luo Xiu's words stunned the Old Man for a moment, but he only stared blankly for a moment before he said to Luo Xiu, "Take the items. The Old Man offers 50,000 high-grade Spirit Jades for each Monster Core. If you agree, the Old Man will make this deal with you. However, I advise you not to be too arrogant. Although my Imperial Treasure House is also an orthodox sect, not everyone is as reasonable as the Old Man. Hehe, you're lucky today to have met the Old Man. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether you would be able to leave this place alive today. Therefore, sometimes, don't be too full of yourself. If you are too full of yourself, there might be a problem, and it's not something that your small body can handle!" The Old Man looked at Luo Xiu with a faint smile and said faintly.
Luo Xiu took a storage ring from the Old Man and opened it. When he saw the 750,000 high-grade Spirit Jades lying quietly inside, the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a smile that he thought was very confident. Of course, he knew what the Old Man in front of him meant. However, he was also very clear that with these people's methods, these people from the Southern Viewing Department Continent could definitely use some special secret method to find the specific source of the Monster Core through the source of the Monster Core.
Therefore, Luo Xiu's previous words were just for show. He wasn't worried that these people would find the White Tiger Sanctuary. Moreover, he was somewhat expectant. If these people in front of him could really find the White Tiger Sanctuary, then wouldn't he have the opportunity to return to the White Tiger Sanctuary? Therefore, when Luo Xiu first needed Spirit Jades as cultivation resources, he had considered this problem.
Therefore, regarding this point, he was also intentional. After all, no matter how idiotic he was, the system in his mind would warn him. Needless to say, he still had two Monster Cores from this world. Although the quality of the Monster Cores wasn't high, the energy contained within was extremely stable.
The grade of these Monster Cores wasn't much different from the Monster Cores he obtained from the White Tiger Sanctuary, but the energy density in the Monster Cores was more than a hundred times different. Therefore, Luo Xiu took out these Monster Cores to release a signal that he wasn't a cultivator who suddenly appeared, but had been hiding in a small world to cultivate. It was only because the small world had collapsed that he couldn't come out of this world.
The reason Luo Xiu wanted to release such a signal was that he knew that if he walked around this world openly, his origins would definitely be a mystery. In particular, he knew that his origins couldn't withstand scrutiny. Moreover, the most important point was that he needed an identity to conceal the fact that he came from the Beehive World. In addition, his body was now filled with Innate Essence Energy, so he wasn't worried about his identity being exposed.
The most important point was that he needed an identity. Otherwise, joining the Shangqing Palace would simply be his own wishful thinking. These famous orthodox sects, especially the Three Clear Orthodoxies, valued the purity of the cultivators' backgrounds very much. In the entire Nanzhan Department Continent, only the White Bone Palace set up by Dao Lord White Bone didn't pay much attention to the origins of the disciples under it, because it was a Demon Sect.
This was the conclusion that Luo Xiu had reached during this period of time by beating around the bush. Moreover, along the way, he had also killed a few ignorant rogue cultivators and learned some unspoken rules about this world from their memories. Therefore, Luo Xiu had already planned from the beginning that if he could find a way to return to the Beehive World with the help of the cultivators in this world, he would still be prepared to return. After all, the Nanzhan Department Continent had already declined.
He was clear that he wouldn't have any future development in this declining world. More importantly, although the innate essence energy in this world was of extremely high quality, it had already lost its vitality. It could be said that if he stayed in this world for a long time, his Heavenly Demon Avatar, whose physical body was too terrifying, could only rely on its powerful innate Divine Sense to solve this problem for him. In this world, the innate essence energy contained in this world was already on the verge of decline.
It was actually not appropriate to say that the energy was dead. It should be in a period of decline. It was no exaggeration to say that if Luo Xiu stayed here for a long time without the calcination of the True Sun Fire, as long as his body absorbed an excessive amount of innate essence energy, he would follow this world to its demise. Although this process would probably last for millions of years, the impact it would cause couldn't be resolved in a short period of time.
The fundamental reason why he dared to absorb and refine the innate essence energy in this world was that the True Sun Fire in his body was helping him to be immune to all of this. Now, Luo Xiu was incomparably amazed by his good luck.
Especially when facing these people, Luo Xiu really didn't put on any pretense.
For him, since he knew that the Southern Viewing Department Continent was about to fall, he had to find a way to leave this place as soon as possible. For him, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't want to stay in this world for long. The reason why he created so much trouble was because he wanted to make a name for himself as soon as possible. As a guy who could mix in various planes for a long time, Luo Xiu was very clear that if he wanted to enter the Shangqing Palace, he had to have a clean background.
Furthermore, Luo Xiu had coincidentally found out that the Imperial Treasure House was one of the properties of the Shangqing Palace. Therefore, the Demon Cores that he had taken out were definitely intentional. His goal was to borrow the power of the Shangqing Palace to find out some secrets of the Southern Viewing Department Continent. At the same time, he could borrow their power to find a way to leave this world. Killing two birds with one stone, or even more. No matter what, he would not easily give up on this matter.
Luo Xiu left the Imperial Treasure House with a smile on his face. He didn't meet up with the young man who led the way again, but walked in another direction. Along the way, his powerful Spiritual Strength quietly scattered throughout the entire city. The entire huge bazaar fell into his mind. This was also pleasing to the eye, because some of the things in the stalls were really tempting. The System in his mind also reminded him from time to time that some rare mineral resources were very useful to the System.
At this moment, Luo Xiu, who had a lot of Spiritual Jades in his hand, looked at the various Spiritual Materials of the Heavens and Earth displayed on the stalls in the bazaar. While he was tempted, he also began to act. He almost bought whatever he saw. Along the way, he madly swept the goods, looking like a country bumpkin. The behavior of a nouveau riche made many Practitioners in the bazaar feel Luo Xiu's boldness.
At the same time, during this period of time, Luo Xiu's continuous sweeping of goods made his reputation grow. He had no choice but to be so high-profile. In order to prevent the people from Shangqing Palace from scheming against him as much as possible, he could only expose himself in front of others and act in a high-profile manner. Because only in this way could Luo Xiu be sure that he would not be deliberately targeted and would not disappear.
At the same time, while Luo Xiu was sweeping through the market crazily, a group of people in the cabinet of the Imperial Treasury were studying the Monster Cores that Luo Xiu sold to them previously. At this moment, the three people sitting at the head of the table looked at the Monster Cores in front of them expressionlessly and asked in a faint and deep voice, "What do you all think? It's obvious that these things are not produced by the Southern Viewing Department Continent. Previously, we have been paying attention to the real situation of the Southern Viewing Department Continent. If we can find the origin of these Monster Cores, it will be the best place for our Imperial Treasury, and even the entire Shangqing Palace. The Southern Viewing Department Continent has existed for so many years, especially in the past million years, wandering in the universe has caused the fate of the Southern Viewing Department Continent to be completely exhausted. In less than a million years, the entire Southern Viewing Department Continent will be like those dead regions previously, completely turning into a place unsuitable for humans to live in. Now, the restricted area in the southwest region is constantly expanding. If it were not for the Cangtian Sea's obstruction, our place would have turned into a wasteland now. Now, there is a rare opportunity in front of us, and it depends on whether everyone is willing to take the risk and try!"
The person who spoke was the old man who bought Luo Xiu's Demon Pill. At this moment, the old man no longer had the lazy look from before. His whole body was imposing and overbearing. His tone also carried a trace of coldness that made everyone's hair stand on end. The old man seemed to have a very high status. Only the three men sitting at the head of the table were slightly moved. However, the people standing beside them were all silent. No one dared to answer the old man's words. "All of you are mute.
Even if you don't think for yourselves, you have to think for our descendants. Once the situation that I mentioned before happens in the South Viewing Department Continent, you all know in your heart that if the Shangqing Palace wanted to migrate, they would have done so long ago. Why would they continue to wait? It's obvious that they can't protect themselves. My Imperial Treasure House has been in the South Viewing Department Continent for so many years, I don't want my family to be completely destroyed here. Although I don't want to pour cold water on you, everyone knows that the South Viewing Department Continent is hopeless. If we can't completely integrate into the universe that we are in now, then we will all become sinners in history! "
When the old man saw that no one was paying attention to him, he continued to ramble with a smile. This time, his expression was no longer as fierce as before, but the purple light that flashed in his eyes from time to time constantly reminded these people in front of him of how important his thoughts were at this moment.
To Luo Xiu, it was just a bait that was casually thrown out. He also didn't expect that it would actually cause such a big disturbance. Three days later, when Luo Xiu was cultivating in a cave dwelling, the entire island suddenly trembled. The cave dwelling that Luo Xiu was living in was rented by him with money.
However, at this moment, the cave dwelling was torn apart. The sturdy formation and some Defensive Magic Arrays that were originally arranged in the cave dwelling completely collapsed under the terrifying tremor. After Luo Xiu rushed out in a sorry state, he revealed a stunned expression when he saw the many cultivators standing in the void like him.
At this moment, the Fangzhang Island of the Shangqing Palace was like a rolling sea wave, constantly bending and reversing. This made Luo Xiu feel extremely astonished. In front of the power of nature, how small was he? He had already felt a strong suppression from his Spirit.
At this moment, Luo Xiu didn't know what was going on. He had been staying here and quietly waiting for things to develop. However, before he could find a chance to inquire about the specific situation of the Shangqing Palace, this scene happened. Luo Xiu was secretly vigilant. He didn't know why this would happen. However, when he saw that the sky above the island was densely packed with cultivators, he realized that the situation was a hundred times more terrible than he had imagined.
Out of curiosity, Luo Xiu walked towards the gathering crowd. He didn't ask anything, but stood quietly to the side and listened to the discussions of the crowd. At this moment, more and more cultivators flew out of the Fangzhang Island. Everyone looked flustered. Looking at the Fangzhang Island, Luo Xiu was also puzzled. After all, he didn't think that he had a Disaster Constitution and would cause trouble wherever he went. Therefore, he just stood quietly to the side and listened to the discussions of the crowd.
From the numerous discussions, Luo Xiu roughly figured out the source of the tremor. It seemed to come from the inside of the Shangqing Palace. Now, the Shangqing Palace was in complete chaos. The whole sect was riddled with holes. It was said that the battle first broke out from the inside of the Shangqing Peak.
In the beginning, no one on the island knew what was going on because of the barrier of the formation. It wasn't until the divine weapon of the Shangqing Palace, the Nine Suns Bell, erupted with powerful power that completely wiped out the invaders of the Shangqing Palace. What happened after that was completely exposed to the public.
Because the Nine Suns Bell of the Shangqing Palace was used, it meant that the Shangqing Palace had lost control of the island. For a time, countless enemies appeared out of nowhere and came to the Shangqing Palace. The scope of the battle grew larger and larger until it affected the whole island. The reason why they hadn't completely left the island was that the Shangqing Palace was still struggling to resist the invaders of the other forces.
From the conversations of the people in the field, Luo Xiu also learned a piece of information that shocked him. That was, it seemed that there was a traitor in the Shangqing Palace, and the matter of them tracing the source of the matter was leaked out.
More importantly, before the benefits that Shangqing Palace was about to obtain, their enemies had come knocking on their door. Therefore, he was still in the dark as to what kind of secret Shangqing Palace had obtained that almost led to their extermination. However, as more and more people gathered, Luo Xiu was able to obtain more and more information. In front of the System's powerful calculation ability, it was not difficult for Luo Xiu to gather this information. From this, Luo Xiu realized that it was very likely that the major event that he was concerned about had already happened. Regarding this point, from the whispers among the crowd and the fierce battle on the island, Luo Xiu easily discovered something that even he himself found unbelievable.
