Chapter 104
"Little Friend Anzhuzi."
Fang Qing returned the greeting with a smile. "I merely took one step ahead. Back then I was too eager for quick success in Qi Ingestion, and now that I have forged my Dao Foundation, Purple Mansion remains forever out of reach. What can one do but sigh in vain?"
"No wonder you seek a [Ji Water] Purple Mansion technique. But as I said before, your Qi Ingestion path is already fixed. Without the innate birth of water, you have no hope of breaking through to Purple Mansion in this lifetime."
The old fox shook his head repeatedly, then hurriedly made introductions. "This is our demon race senior—Qingling Demon General!"
"So it is Miss Qingling."
Fang Qing had stepped forward precisely because he sensed that this woman also possessed a Dao Foundation. She did not pose an especially great danger.
Moreover, after his earlier divination, he still very much wanted to complete this transaction.
"Fang Shui—you are quite interesting."
Qingling fixed her gaze on Fang Qing as if she had spotted something amusing. She suddenly smiled. "As for a storage artifact, I do happen to have one spare. It is called the Mystical Wood Ring—crafted from eastern profound wood as the base, then carved and imbued with wonders by a [Kui Wood] cultivator. [Kui Wood] excels at containment and concealment; it is known as the Arsenal Wood. The profound wonders attached to it can last about ten years, hiding the aura of stored items so thoroughly that even an early Purple Mansion cultivator would be deceived. If paired with a flesh-and-blood storage technique, it becomes flawless. However… what do you have to offer in exchange?"
