Chapter 51
“Oh? What good stuff?” Lou Qianxue acted very cooperatively.
“There’s a cliff in front. From what I have observed, I think that there are rare treasures below that cliff.” Li Bo’s eyes brightly shimmered. A tinge of greed flashed past his face.
If one judged from the look on his face, it did not seem like he was lying.
Lou Qianxue became interested. “Maybe?”
“Right! Previously, I sensed a vague feeling that the cliff nearby had a stronger heaven and earth aura. I wanted to explore, but then, I discovered that there was actually an array formation in the surroundings. Say, if that place does not have any good stuff, why did someone place an array formation there?”
Lou Qianxue understood his words. “What you want is for me to follow you all and assist in breaking the array formation? And thereafter, we’ll take the good stuff together?”
Li Bo nodded. “Exactly!”
It was impossible for Lou Qianxue to believe him. Just now, she had clearly seen this old fellow’s murderous intent towards her!
However, Fifth Elder was still hiding in a secret place. If she left Li Bo and the others now, she was afraid that he would take action.
Since that was the case, she might as well follow these people and walk together. In the meantime, she would try to raise her own cultivation as soon as possible. With her current fighting power, if she broke through another two realms, killing both Fifth Elder and this Li Bo would not be a problem.
As Lou Qianxue thought about what to do, the corners of her mouth curled up. A faint smile appeared on her face. “Alright, then it’s decided.”
Li Wei and the others, who were at the side, froze when they saw Li Bo and Lou Qianxue looking like they had a ‘nice talk’.
They could not understand what had happened. Hadn’t Li Bo showed murderous intent. Hadn’t he said that he would never let Lou Qianxue off?
But then, in the blink of an eye, why did he…
“Li Bo!” Li Wei objected and stomped her feet. “How can you go easy on this ugly freak?”
However, Li Bo glanced at her in a dignified manner and scolded her. “Lady, Miss Qianxue is your savior. How can you be so rude to her?”
Li Bo’s acting was too real, so much that Li Wei’s eyes turned red. “Li Bo, you—”
“Don’t talk any further.” Li Bo interrupted her. “Have a rest first. When the sky brightens tomorrow, we’ll go to that cliff to look for treasures.”
The whole night, no one spoke.
Li Wei and the others weren’t in their best moods as they rested for the night. However, Lou Qianxue spent the whole night cultivating in the Mountain River Space. For her, five days had passed.
It might have been because of the threat to her life pressuring her. But Lou Qianxue’s cultivation rose very quickly!
She had eaten the congregation spirit pills that she had taken from the Alchemy Union. She broke through to the fourth level of the spiritual realm, and then, she forcibly raised her cultivation to the fifth level.
By the time she had broken through to the fifth spiritual realm, she was only left with three congregation pills in her hands. With this degree of wastage, one could simply be called a loser!
But all this effort had paid off. She had at least reached the fifth level now. She could already defeat Lou Xingchen, who had been in the city lord’s mansion before she had left.
Of course, it would be another matter if Lou Xingchen had improved again by the time she would be at the Prefectural Governor’s mansion.
The night passed. Besides the huge increase in her power, Qianxue had also grasped half of the fourth form of [Mountain River Sword Technique].
It made her feel extremely good. Even though she had not rested for the night, she was in high spirits the next day.
Li Bo and the rest naturally discovered the matter of her disappearing out of thin air at night. Moreover, it only made her more mysterious in their eyes. They also became more afraid of acting rashly.
But Li Wei did not understand Li Bo’s intention at all.
She only knew her hate towards Lou Qianxue had increased even more. The arms of the two brothers, Li Wen and Li Wu, were broken, so they had become low-spirited. They were not as attentive to her as they were before. Instead, they became closer to Lou Qianxue, and this made her even angrier.
She endured the whole day. Finally, when they reached the cliff at night and stopped to rest, she could not bear with it anymore…
