Chapter 83 Accepting Disciple
When Lyu Liang was contemplating his next move, the giant spoke, “The kid, did you see a young man in a green-robe, medium-sized and likes to laugh. Tell me the truth!”
With every word that came out of the giant’s mouth, Lyu Liang could feel the vibration in the surrounding air. Fortunately, the other party did not mean to target anyone. If not, he would probably be half-dead under such immense pressure.
Lyu Liang thought for a while and recalled what the secretly transmitted voice of the green-robed man had told him. He did not hesitate and replied firmly, “I saw him, but he disappeared in an instant and I did not see which direction he went to specifically!”
The giant did not doubt him; he thought for a while and then vanished into thin air. At this time, Lyu Liang was relieved and finally had the time to take a closer look at the thin girl in front of him.
The lady was gorgeous. She had a pair of lovely eyes. Although her clothes were not tidy and her hair was messy, that couldn’t conceal her beautiful and graceful posture. If she was neatly dressed, she would have been a pretty lady.
“You have the Virtual-Spirit Body?” Lyu Liang suddenly remembered the words of the green-robed man before he left. He asked this casually, out of curiosity.
However, when the girl heard this, her face changed and she had a desperate look on her face. It seemed that she had made an important decision.
“Oh no!” Lyu Liang exclaimed in his heart. Before he could even think about it, the immense power of Divine Soul poured out and shrouded the girl inside. The girl trembled first and then showed a look of fear. She smiled bitterly and shed copious tears.
“Miss! Why do you want to burst your Divine Soul! The enemy has been wiped out and you are safe now; you should be happy! You are returning home, so why do you suddenly want to end your life?!” Lyu Liang felt so anxious. Why did the girl who was so alive and agile a few moments ago, want to end her life so suddenly?
Upon hearing Lyu Liang’s words, the girl stopped crying and asked him doubtfully, “What? You are not like those who want my Virtual-Spirit Body for s.e.xual Intercourse of Absorption? If that happens, I would rather burst my Divine Soul to stay free!”
Lyu Liang was a bit depressed. It seemed his casual and curious questions had caused a huge misunderstanding with the girl and worse still, she had cla.s.sified him along with the murderous evildoers.
Thus, Lyu Liang clasped his hands and bowed, “I was curious when I heard those words from the man who saved you earlier. That is the reason for my question. I really don’t know what the Virtual Spirit body is and even if I do, I will never force you to do dirty things against your will!”
Looking at Lyu Liang’s respectful and severe expression, the girl calmed down and she also replied politely, “I misunderstood what senior meant, please forgive me if I have offended you. My name is Su Qiao’er, I am from Su Clan on the south of Northern Heaven District. “As for the Virtual Spirit body, it is actually..”
“Stop! If I am not wrong, you are also someone with a special const.i.tution which is quite an important type. Thus, people are eyeing you. You should keep a lid on the specifics. It does not matter if I know or not.” Lyu Liang hurriedly waved his hand. Though he was curious, it was rude to ask other’s secrets so randomly.
A grateful look flashed through the girl’s face, but she turned gloomy again. She said desperately, “I knew that Senior is very kind. But since I had the Virtual Spirit body, when I meet people who are powerful and treacherous, I will still meet the fate of having the s.e.xual Intercourse of Absorption. Now, I am homeless and have such low cultivation. I have enough of these never-ending days of worry. Maybe death is my best solution.”
Lyu Liang gave a long sigh. He could see that the girl had been living in the shadow of fear of being hunted daily. Although he didn’t know what the Virtual Spirit body was, Liu Qingxuan had said that he had found a treasure. Combining that with the tragic experience of the girl, it seemed that her special const.i.tution was the root of the disaster.
Let the girl live and die by fate? Lyu Liang did not think that he was such a merciless person. However, if he wanted to help, how? Take her with him? After all, they had just met and barely knew each other. In this unfamiliar Pangu Origin world, lesser trouble would be good.
At this time, tears started rolling down the girl’s cheeks again. She pulled out a jade pendant, cried and muttered, “Mom, it’s my fault to be born with the Virtual Spirit body. You only had a trace of a remnant soul in order to protect me. I am so tired that I don’t want to run any longer. The road ahead is hard and dangerous and I have no courage to look for the whereabouts of father. We shall just die here, okay?”
After listening to this statement, the most sensitive spot in Lyu Liang’s heart was touched. Looking at the sad girl who was desperate and miserable, Lyu Liang gritted his teeth and drew out an item,”Miss, this is a magic treasure that can block all detections by Divine Sense. I don’t know what its name is. I only know it allows you to hide your own Virtual Spirit body and prevent others from perceiving it. With this, you, you can live a normal life!”
At first, the girl’s eyes brightened at the sight of this item. Then she stared at Lyu Liang with a strange look and whispered, “Senior, I am grateful enough that you have saved my life and there is no way I can repay you. Now, you are offering me such precious treasure. I am not worth it; I have done nothing for you. Anyway, my image is well known in the Northern Heaven District now. It is no longer necessary to hide my special const.i.tution. Thank you senior, for your kindness!”
Lyu Liang was stunned for a moment and pondered for a while. Since that was the case, he might as well help her to the end! He handed the magic treasure to the girl and said, “I am Lyu Liang from the big world outside the Pangu Origin world. I also have many secrets that can’t be revealed. So, in this way, we are considered the same. Are you willing to be my disciple and live temporarily in my cave residence. When the time is right, you can come and go freely! Is that okay?”
The girl’s big eyes narrowed in surprise. After a while, she asked shakily, “You, you… I am a notorious target. If you let others know of my existence, even you will become their target!”
Lyu Liang laughed loudly and said, “In our big world, I am like a thorn in the sides of many people, but I am still living well. Come on, as long as I am here. I will not let you suffer from those grievances again!”
The look on the girl’s face changed a few times and then joy appeared in her eyes. She kneeled and bowed at the same time and she said, “Master, please accept my grat.i.tude!”
Lyu Liang lifted her up and handed the magic treasure to her. He said, “This is a welcome gift for you. You can refine it yourself! I also have many secrets and I will tell you about it later. You must remember not let others know! Now, you can enter my portable cave residence. The s.p.a.ce inside may be slightly smaller, but when I have the chance, I will change to a bigger one. By the way, let me introduce you to someone.”
Since Su Qiaoer moved into the cave residence, it was not suitable for Black to continue to live in there. At this moment, Black emerged out of thin air. Under the simple introduction by Lyu Liang, Su Qiaoer also reverently addressed Black as “Black Martial Uncle”, making Black both awkward and happy.
Subsequently, Su Qiaoer moved into the cave residence and Lyu Liang continued to rush to the market place. Black was happy to be able to come out. He had always complained about the insufficient s.p.a.ce in the cave residence and he felt cramped in there.
After another day of flying, Lyu Liang arrived at the market place. His goal was direct, the largest building in the area, called the “Worry-Free Mansion”. Yang Ying once said that the Worry-Free Mansion was the largest retail shop in the entire Northern Heaven District. The one here was just one of its many subbranches.
He felt different this time from before. There were many people in the market place, and there were the usual number of people. However, for now, there was a sea of people. Lyu Liang wondered if he happened be there during some important day?
When he was at the entrance of Worry-Free Mansion, he saw a few people coming out. Everyone had an angry look and they turned back from time to time to glare at something. Following their direction, Lyu Liang sighed, “What a small world to meet again!”
He saw an old man who was at the Middle-stage of Gold Core. His grateful expression was obvious. He was thanking a green-robed young man. That young man was no other than Liu Qingxuan who had made his escape so suddenly.
Since they were at such a close distance, Lyu Liang felt he should say h.e.l.lo. At this time, Liu Qingxuan also saw Lyu Liang, his eyes lit up and he waved, “Hey friend, what a coincidence! We meet again!”
Lyu Liang nodded and smiled. Then he remembered the few people who came out and asked softly, “Taoism peer Liu, what happened just now? I saw a few people coming out before and they had a lot of hatred in their eyes.”
Before Liu Qingxuan could speak, the old man beside him spoke first, “You don’t know! If this gentleman did not stand up and speak for me, I would probably be bankrupt!”
It turned out that the old man had a magic treasure that he wanted to sell in the market place. Later, he encountered those people who wanted to see it first and buy it if it was appropriate. The old man took it out and after some bargaining, he finally sold it at six hundred mid-grade Primordial Stones which was considered a handsome sum.
When the two parties were about to exchange the stones and the goods, Liu Qingxuan appeared and pulled the old man back. At the same time, he also pointed out that the six hundred Primordial Stones from the other party was not of mid-grade, they were six hundred lower-grade Primordial Stones.
This time the other party was unhappy. On the spot, the bag was opened and the Primordial Stones were displayed for everyone around to see. From the concentration of the emitted Primordial Qi, it was indeed six hundred mid-grade Primordial Stones. Liu Qingxuan snorted, took a red bronze mirror from his arms and faced it at the pile of Primordial Stones. A wave of ripples trembled above the Primordial Stones. When everyone looked again, they had already become six hundred lower-grade Primordial Stones. At the same time, surrounding the Primordial Stones, there were four small formation flags.
Subsequently, Liu Qingxuan explained to the people that these Primordial Stones emitted the concentration of mid-grade Primordial Qi relying on the formation. An hour later when the formation was exhausted, the stones would return to the lower-grade Primordial Stones. This trick was called “Virtual yang” and belongs to one of the “Illusion Formation” types. The four formation flags were needed to set up the formation. Its only function was to trick other’s eyes. In other word, it was used to cheat people.
In front of the solid evidence, the few people left without any objections. After all, if they still wanted to argue and attract the guards of Worry-Free Mansion, they might get into big trouble. Then, that was the scene which Lyu Liang saw earlier.
Subsequently, Liu Qingxuan actually spent six hundred mid-grade Primordial Stones and bought the magic treasure from the old man. After the people around dispersed, he pulled Lyu Liang to a remote place in the mansion and raised his hand. A light curtain shrouded the two.
Then, Liu Qingxuan mysteriously and sneakily asked, “Friend, do you want to sell your Ghost Devil Head? The price for the Feiling Sword, Blood-Bone sword and the Tianyu sword can be negotiated. By the way, the aura that you stimulated earlier on, did you rely on the Qi Storage Pearl or do you have a Shadow Domain Beast? If it is the former, it is also within the scope of my acquisition! How? Let’s discuss?”
