Chapter 149 - Prey
Chapter 149: Prey
【Guangxue Mountain’s Saintess Xu Qing, born with the Pure Moon Holy Body. She can absorb the power of moon yin during cultivation. As her cultivation level advances, she can also obtain the Pure Moon Pupils, capable of breaking through illusions, array eyes, and other people’s vital weaknesses.】
【Three years ago, you and Xu Qing from Guangxue Mountain had a brief encounter. You entered the secret realm of Qingxuan True Person together for a trial. That year, Xu Qing was sixteen, and she had never met a match from childhood, always appearing gentle but extremely proud at heart. And on that day, you completely shattered her pride with your words, “What a pity, you were just a little bit away from touching me. If you had, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to beat you. Thanks for letting me win.” She has held a grudge against you for a full three years.】
【After the trial, you lent her the Pure Arcane Contemplation Manual to copy, which slightly increased her favorable impression of you.】
【For three years, Xu Qing has been reluctant to enter the Core Formation stage because she believes... if she cannot use the heavenly dao spiritual energy for Core Formation, then she will never be able to catch up to your pace. Therefore, she has been deliberately suppressing her cultivation level. Even recently, she obtained three strands of heavenly dao spiritual energy from the Daoji Ancestral Land, enough to form a three-patterned heavenly dao Golden Core. But because you also had a three-patterned heavenly dao Golden Core... she re-entered the Daoji Ancestral Land, determined to form a better Golden Core than yours before she would be satisfied.】
【But who could have expected that a cultivator of the Refining Yin Demon Gu had infiltrated this secret realm? Although the Refining Yin Demon Gu cultivator is only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, he has already refined a Blue Bone Gu with Void Refining battle power. His soul cultivation has also stepped into Void Refining by devouring countless souls. Now, he is lurking among the crowd, coveting Xu Qing beside you, attempting to plant a second Hehuan Gu on her to turn Xu Qing into his slave.】
【Xu Qing appears calm on the surface but is also extremely panicked inside. This is a great opportunity to show her a sense of security once again. Killing the Refining Yin Demon Gu cultivator will make Xu Qing fully realize the gap between her and you, and perhaps her obsession with catching up to your pace will turn into a mad love for you.】
【Task Reward: high-grade experience scroll*3.】
Jiang Huai read the system prompt twice very seriously, but aside from providing some information about the Refining Yin Demon Gu, it still didn’t reveal who it was... Instead, it told him about Xu Qing’s little thoughts.
Jiang Huai suddenly recalled the inheritance of Qingxuan True Person.
The inheritance had three stages.
The first stage was a sword-fighting challenge, where each trial participant had to kill more than three late Foundation Establishment stone puppets. At that time, Xu Qing had killed six, while he had killed eighteen.
