Chapter 27
“Senior sister, please take a seat. My confinement room is rather simple and crude, I hope you won’t mind.”
Mu Qiqi didn’t care about Lu Yuan’s small talk at all.
At this moment, she was looking around curiously and did not treat herself as an outsider at all.
Seeing such an “unscrupulous” tsundere, rich, and beautiful woman, Lu Yuan’s brain was working crazily, thinking about how to send her away.
After all, he had fiddled with quite a few things in the past four years. If he allowed Mu Qiqi to continue staying here, he might be exposed.
As a steady person, Lu Yuan didn’t like the feeling of his abilities being known by others.
At this moment, he was also extremely regretful. Why did he set up such a good defense system on the mountain where his confinement room was located?
Previously, he had only considered the possibility of an enemy invasion and had thus constantly strengthened his defensive measures.
However, he had forgotten that one’s level of cultivation would determine one’s formations.
To be able to come up with such a defensive measure that could threaten even Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, the mastermind’s cultivation would definitely not be weak.
In addition, Lu Yuan had yet to learn any divine abilities to hide his cultivation.
Therefore, when he saw Mu Qiqi and the others, he knew that he couldn’t hide anymore and simply flew over.
Riding on a flying sword was the sign of a cultivator reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage!
Lu Yuan was using this method to tell the others that he, Celestial Master Lu, had indeed reached the Foundation Establishment Stage!
Although it was exposing himself a little, something that he had no choice but to do, he did feel quite good when he saw the surprised look on Mu Qiqi’s and the others’ faces.
Now that he had acted cool and had fun, Lu Yuan started to think about how to “chase” Mu Qiqi away.
Either way, he would not let Mu Qiqi stay here for long.
Otherwise, if she were to notice something, what if she went back and told the sect leader? Wouldn’t his current safe and stable life be forcefully ended and he would have to join the dangerous world of celestial cultivation?
Was that okay? It was definitely not!
Moreover, today’s matter also reminded Lu Yuan that he had to quickly learn some abilities that could hide his cultivation.
He had no thoughts of sandbagging at all. He just wanted to be someone invisible whom no one placed importance on.
As long as he could be invisible, no one could trick him!
The profound meaning of stability was to reduce one’s presence!
Seeing that Mu Qiqi didn’t seem to want to leave, Lu Yuan said, “Senior sister, may I know why you’ve come to visit me?”
When Mu Qiqi heard this, she stopped her observations and looked at Lu Yuan.
That’s weird. Other than being good-looking, good with words, and having an outstanding temperament, there didn’t seem to be anything special about Junior Brother Lu.
Moreover, looking at his appearance, he didn’t seem like the kind of person who could create mechanical puppets.
Then how did he create those powerful puppets outside?
This junior brother of hers must have his secrets!
At the thought of this, Mu Qiqi immediately said, “Junior Brother Lu, can you tell me how you made those puppets?”
Damn, why was she so direct? To think the first thing she asked was how other people’s trump cards were created. She can’t be thinking that he would tell her so easily, right? No way, no way!
“Senior sister, the puppet is just something I made in my spare time. There’s nothing much to say.”
Hearing Lu Yuan’s words, Mu Qiqi was quite displeased.
“Just say what I told you to say, don’t beat around the bush.”
This attitude of not caring about the feelings of others… As expected of the daughter of the sect leader and the princess of the sect, Mu Qiqi!
Mu Qiqi’s personality was related to her life experience since she was young.
As the princess of the sect, she had never lacked cultivation resources. In addition to her terrifying cultivation talent, Mu Qiqi’s life was practically smooth sailing.
Thus, to put it nicely, Mu Qiqi was extremely curious about everything. But to put it bluntly, this person was quite spoiled. She did things her way and had no respect for others!
In short, she lacked the beating of society!
However, thinking about it carefully, Mu Qiqi’s father was a Core Formation Stage sect leader. She herself had reached level 7 of the Foundation Establishment Stage at the age of 25.
Whether it was her strength or background, Mu Qiqi did seem to have the right to ignore the feelings of others!
Considering the fact that his status wasn’t on the same level as Mu Qiqi’s and that he really couldn’t beat her, Lu Yuan could only reply, “Senior sister, to be honest, the puppets I made aren’t complicated. You should be able to see this as well. It’s not that I don’t want to say it, but there’s really nothing much to say.”
Mu Qiqi thought for a moment and nodded, “Indeed, other than being able to shoot out green flame pellets, there is nothing special about your puppets. Those things can be used to deal with people below level 5 of the Foundation Establishment Stage. However, if the enemy is above that stage, the effect will be minimal.”
Lu Yuan was not too surprised when he heard Mu Qiqi reveal the essence of those puppets.
Although the green flame pellets were unobvious, after a cultivator reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, they would possess a special perception called “spiritual sense”.
The perception range and strength of “spiritual sense” were related to the cultivator’s talent and cultivation.
In terms of talent and cultivation, Mu Qiqi was undoubtedly among the best.
For her to be able to discover the existence of the green flame pellet was not surprising.
The principle behind the green flame pellet was not complicated. Rather, it was similar to the green flame pill that Lu Yuan had consumed.
The difference between it and the green flame pill was that the difficulty of making the green flame pellet was very low.
In essence, it was just compressing a portion of the green flame power into a pellet.
The reason why Lu Yuan could refine the green flame pellet was also a coincidence.
Three years ago, while he was cultivating, he accidentally discovered that every time he used up all of his spiritual energy, his cultivation speed would be much faster than normal.
If he wanted to exhaust his spiritual energy, one of the ways was to use divine abilities, and the other way was to carry out activities that required the consumption of spiritual energy.
After thinking for a while, Lu Yuan decided to use his spiritual energy on pill refinement.
However, not only was it time-consuming and laborious to refine ordinary pills, but the spiritual energy consumption in the process was also not large. Pill refinement consumed mental energy more instead, which undoubtedly did not meet Lu Yuan’s need of exhausting all his spiritual energy.
Finally, after some research, Lu Yuan developed the method to make the green flame pellet.
Making the green flame pellet would not only help him consume his spiritual energy quickly, but it could also help him accumulate some trump cards.
In these four years, Lu Yuan made a total of 300 Foundation Establishment Stage green flame pellets and countless Qi Cultivation Stage green flame pellets.
As for the Qi Cultivation Stage pellets that he had made previously, Lu Yuan kept a portion of them for future use, while the rest he had refined into Foundation Establishment Stage pellets.
With so many green flame pellets, Lu Yuan thus had a certain level of confidence.
Those who were poor would use tactics, while those who were rich could enable firepower coverage.
Lu Yuan was currently someone who could enable firepower coverage!
Mu Qiqi, who couldn’t stand boredom, spoke again, “Junior Brother Lu, do you have anything else fun other than puppets?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan fell silent.
Don’t ask. Even if she asked, he didn’t have any!
Perhaps she could see Lu Yuan’s resistance to her, Mu Qiqi frowned slightly.
Ever since she was young, this was the first time she had met a fellow sect member like Lu Yuan who neither flattered nor showed any goodwill to her.
One had to know that apart from her shocking cultivation and great background, Mu Qiqi was also extremely beautiful.
As the saying goes, a woman who is three years older is a great wife, while having a wife three thousand years senior will allow one to become a celestial.
A fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful woman like Mu Qiqi was undoubtedly the dream partner of many Qingyun Sect disciples who “didn’t want to work hard”.
If they could hook up with her, it would save them a thousand years of hard work.
Therefore, the male disciples she had met before all tried their best to please her.
It was rare to see someone like Lu Yuan, who kept an obvious distance from her and did not have any intention to please her.
Yet, the more Lu Yuan resisted, the more Mu Qiqi was curious about him.
He had successfully piqued her interest!
The celestial world version of the domineering young lady, Mu Qiqi, thought to herself.
In fact, another reason why she was curious about Lu Yuan was that Mu Qiqi was obsessed with good looks.
Did they really think that Lu Yuan was chosen by demoness Meng Ruyan just because he was good at sex and that his spiritual roots were outstanding?
His handsome appearance was also a key reason why the demoness Meng Ruyan wanted to force Lu Yuan to be her sex partner.
Although Mu Qiqi’s personality was a little rude and unreasonable, she was also someone who favored good looks.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have spoken to Lu Yuan so patiently.
Seeing that Lu Yuan was so unmoved, Mu Qiqi rolled her eyes and decided to use her trump card.
She suddenly pushed Lu Yuan, pressing him against the wall.
Then, under Lu Yuan’s dumbfounded gaze, Mu Qiqi reached out her right hand and pinched his chin.
“Junior brother, are you sure you don’t have anything fun to take out? You have to know that as long as you can make me happy, I can definitely reward you with some treasures~”
Shut up. Did she think that he was the kind of person who accepted something so rudely offered?
As if she knew that Lu Yuan would not give in easily, Mu Qiqi directly threw her storage bag on the table.
In the next second, a large number of high-grade spiritual stones, special magic items, talismans, treasures, divine abilities, and cultivation techniques appeared in front of Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan looked at the pile of treasures and was shamelessly tempted.
Damn, so what if she had a sect leader as her father? Even if he, the steady Lu Yuan, died of hunger and greed outside, he would not take a single spiritual stone from her!
“Senior sister, you don’t say, I do have some good things here that I can show you.”
He was just saying such words, don’t take it seriously!
It was not that he was tempted by the spiritual stones, but really, no one could withstand the test of a pile of treasures!
Either way, he couldn’t.
After seeing Lu Yuan’s cold heart being smashed open by her “spiritual stones”, the smile on Mu Qiqi’s face grew even wider.
Spiritual stones might not be able to solve all problems, but they could solve the creator of the problem.
This was the trump card that Mu Qiqi had been using since she was young… The evil power of money!
No matter how cold a male cultivator was, as long as he saw the pile of spiritual stones, his heart would be boiling!
