Chapter 471: Chapter 178: This Child, Is Actually Still Alive? (6k)_3
After all, the last time we visited Taiqing Sect, we met this girl. Not only is she beautiful, but she’s also very enthusiastic, leaving them with a pretty good impression.
But upon meeting again, Lu Yaoyao gave them a feeling of invisible pressure, moreover, she seemed more stable and reserved, making people unconsciously feel she was less approachable.
Lu Yaoyao also greeted them with a smile, very politely saying, "Tao, Cancan, long time no see!"
When they met back then, everyone was in the Golden Core Realm.
But now, she is in the Nascent Soul, while the two of them hadn’t changed much.
"We’re going to find Wanbao, want to join?" Zhou Qing invited, since they were all familiar, it was better to go together, the more the merrier.
The two women agreed of course, and immediately followed the group towards the Wanxiang Auction.
When Zhang Wanbao learned that Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu had arrived, he rushed out at the first moment, excitedly giving the two a big hug.
"No way, how did you get fatter again?"
Looking at Zhang Wanbao’s chubby figure, the two couldn’t help but tease.
He was a bit thinner before, but now he was becoming more and more like his father Zhang Yifu, getting more corpulent too.
Zhang Wanbao chuckled, glanced at Xiao Cancan unnoticed, and then said, "I’ve been trying to control it, but ever since I let things go, I’ve been gaining weight from my open mind."
The two couldn’t help laughing out loud after hearing this.
But time was tight, Zhou Qing didn’t forget their mission this time, and quickly stated their purpose for being here.
"You also came for the Fusang Lotus?" Zhang Wanbao was a bit surprised after hearing this.
The three of them immediately showed serious expressions, and Zhou Qing quickly asked, "Who else is looking for it?"
Zhang Wanbao shook his head and said, "I don’t know those two people, they just bid a high price. The key is there’s none of that stuff at the auction. But don’t worry, if there really is, I’ll make sure it’s delivered to you two brothers first before anyone else."
Zhang Wanbao patted his chest as assurance.
"Good brother!" Yan Xiaohu happily patted Zhang Wanbao’s shoulder, feeling very satisfied and loyal.
Zhou Qing also had a smile on his face.
After asking, they found out the two people arrived three days ago. Zhou Qing vaguely guessed who they were.
It seemed like the Cangyan Daoist Palace and the Phecda Sect had the same idea.
Unfortunately for them, their plan wouldn’t work out, because they had an insider.
With Zhang Wanbao’s help, Zhou Qing and his group didn’t need to worry about the upcoming matters.
And according to Zhang Wanbao’s investigation, those people were indeed elders in the Divinity Transformation Realm from the Cangyan Daoist Palace and the Phecda Sect.
This made the three even more cautious.
Meanwhile, Xiao Cancan and Li Shitao were curiously asking about the recent events in the Eastern Domain.
"Did you find the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown?"
"How’s the fight among the five major sects of the Eastern Domain going?"
"I heard you slashed two great talents from the Cangyan Daoist Palace? Is that true?"
...
Without waiting for Zhou Qing to speak, the talkative Yan Xiaohu had already started enthusiastically explaining.
When they found out Zhou Qing hadn’t just slain two great talents, but five, the two women were full of disbelief.
Could the turmoil really make a person improve that fast?
A few years ago, the Nascent Soul Realm Blood Tai Sui of Cyan Wood City gave Zhou Qing and others a hard time.
Now, they all advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, especially Zhou Qing, who had even slain two half-step to Divinity Transformation Realm figures.
Faced with the two’s praises, Zhou Qing just smiled and waved his hands, saying it was all luck, and he used some unsavory tricks.
However, seeing that he was in the big city now, and they had some wealth to their name, Zhou Qing made a list and had Zhang Wanbao gather the materials needed for an array.
This array was called the [Itchy Heart Array], similar to the [Level 18 Earthquake], both were novel arrays created by Master Xuanqing.
The introduction said this array once activated, would generate an invisible "itch wave".
The invader would be unbearably itchy all over, from the soles of their feet to the scalp, every inch of skin would feel lightly bitten by thousands of ants, making them dance and roll around, unable to fight or cast spells.
This greatly interested Zhou Qing, and Zhang Wanbao didn’t disappoint, collecting the necessary materials in just ten days.
"Zhou, don’t get your hopes too high for the Fusang Lotus, it’s extremely rare. My old man said even Spirit Severing Realm cultivators might be tempted, if the auction really gets one, it might quickly attract someone of that level."
After handing the materials to Zhou Qing, Zhang Wanbao hesitated and spoke.
Zhou Qing understood, but it also confirmed that the Demon King Hou Shan had been quietly cultivating that thing for a thousand years, if it really couldn’t be found in the end, who knows how furious he would be.
So, after waiting for a month, they chose to bid farewell.
The total time given was six months, now three months had passed, and with two more months for the return trip, there wasn’t much time left for them.
"If I really get one, I’ll personally deliver it to you two brothers!" Zhang Wanbao promised.
Zhou Qing was moved but still said, "No need, focus on losing weight."
Then, after saying their goodbyes, the three of them set off on their return journey.
...
Two months later, when they returned to the Eastern Domain, there were only a little more than twenty days left of the six months, but along the way, they still heard that the five major sects were cooperating to find a plant called the Fusang Lotus.
Many small factions were also full of curiosity, after all, something that could make the major sects, who had been fighting for years, suddenly stop and cooperate to find this thing was very unusual.
