Mortal: Starting on the Yin Island, his physical body defies the starry sea

Chapter 84 Silencing

"Interesting. There's definitely a reason why Song Li has taken a liking to this boy."

Although she found it strange, the throbbing deep within her bloodline grew stronger, leaving Liu Yueru with no time to dwell on Luo Qing's misfortune. She only wanted to seize the treasure in the golden sun as soon as possible.

She looked up past Fan Jingmei, her gaze locking onto Luo Qing in the formation like a sharp sword. Her tone suddenly turned cold, all probing gone:

"Alright, enough nonsense. Dispel the formation you set up, hand over the treasures in the golden sun, and I'll leave immediately without causing you any trouble."

It really was the Golden Light Mystic Fire Liquid.

Luo Qing was not surprised by what he heard, but his gaze lingered on Liu Yueru for a few moments longer as he pondered to himself:

Why does this woman look so strange? Her body has both the violent bloodline fluctuations of the demon race and the residual aura of the Extreme Yin Island's techniques. It seems that she has used some kind of forbidden technique or accidentally become a demon.

After a moment's thought, Luo Qing decided not to directly confront Liu Yueru.

His physical body has not yet fully recovered, so he cannot unleash the Shadow Fist. Deng Feng and the others are also in a critical period of rebuilding their cultivation. It would be unwise to fight head-on.

He slowly rose, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Liu Yueru, deliberately adopting a humble posture and speaking with utmost deference:

"Who do you think it is? It's Senior Sister Liu in person. The array blocked my view earlier, so I couldn't recognize her at first glance. Please forgive my poor eyesight, Senior Sister."

"Don't give me that crap, there's no need to waste time."

Liu Yueru's eyes revealed her impatience. She suddenly unleashed her aura, which was close to the Core Formation level, and pressed down on the refining altar like a mountain. "I only ask you, will you do as I say?"

Fan Jingmei stood at the front, bearing the brunt of the oppressive aura. Her face turned pale instantly, and she involuntarily retreated.

Although Deng Feng and the other eight were immersed in cultivation, they were also startled by this pressure. The flames around their bodies trembled slightly, and their aura became somewhat disordered. Fortunately, Luo Qing stabilized the formation with her divine sense in time, isolating the pressure from the outside, thus preventing them from failing at the last minute.

Luo Qing remained expressionless, facing the oppressive aura as she slowly spoke, her tone sincere, as if she were truly considering Liu Yueru's best interests:

"Senior sister, please calm down. Junior brother will naturally comply."

However, what Senior Sister doesn't know is that although Junior Brother obtained this treasure in the golden sun by chance, he can still see that it is not yet fully perfect.

Stopping the grand formation now would be a terrible waste of opportunity and a squandering of resources!

He deliberately slowed his speech, keeping his eyes fixed on Liu Yueru's expression. Sure enough, he saw her brows furrow slightly and the urgency in her eyes lessen.

Liu Yue subconsciously looked up at the golden sun high in the sky, the throbbing in her blood becoming clearer. That power was indeed still being refined and had not yet reached its peak.

What this kid said is true!

"Junior brother, do you mean you'll offer this item up with both hands once it's perfectly formed?"

Liu Yueru sneered, her tone full of suspicion.

But Luo Qing's words did indeed stir up her greed.

Luo Qing understood immediately and responded accordingly, speaking with a mix of truth and falsehood, lowering her stance even further:

"Senior Sister Liu is joking. How could I, your junior brother, dare to keep such a treasure hidden away?"

To be honest, my junior brother's initial intention in repairing the control array of those eight mirror towers and gathering these Golden Sun Divine Flames was simply to use them to cultivate his physical body.

"I'm sure you can see, Senior Sister, that Junior Brother has really overestimated himself. Just absorbing a little bit of the Golden Sun Divine Flame for cultivation has already pushed his physical body to its limit, let alone trying to take over the Golden Sun itself."

He paused, deliberately feigning a hint of helplessness, and continued:

"Although there are unexpected treasures hidden inside, Junior Brother has no way to use them. Rather than letting them go to waste, it would be better to offer them to Senior Sister in exchange for a favor."

After all, everyone on the island knows that Senior Sister and Senior Brother Wu Chou are about to become cultivation partners, and their future is limitless.

Besides, the junior apprentice also had his own selfish motives.

Those great formations were repaired hastily, and their foundations are not yet stable. If they are forcibly closed now, it will be extremely difficult to reopen them.

My junior brother also wants to take this opportunity to break through his cultivation level; please grant his request, senior sister.

Luo Qing's words were so perfectly worded, nine parts true and one part false.

Repairing the formation, using the divine fire for cultivation, and the difficulty in restarting the formation are all true; the only thing that is false is that he has no interest in the Golden Light Profound Fire Liquid.

But in Liu Yueru's view, this was the smartest thing to do.

It is common practice in the cultivation world for low-level cultivators to find treasures far beyond their control and offer them to high-level cultivators in exchange for protection and favors.

Just like many cultivators who find rare and precious materials and will offer them to the Nascent Soul ancestor of their sect.

Liu Yueru was not a demon beast completely controlled by her bloodline; she still retained her rationality. She wanted the perfect Golden Light Profound Fire Liquid, and also felt that Luo Qing was pragmatic, so she nodded in agreement, her tone carrying a hint of arrogance:

"You're honest enough. This item can only be refined by those with special bloodlines, and with your current cultivation level, you really can't handle it."

Don't worry, once I bring the treasure back to the island, you'll be well rewarded.

Hearing this, Nie Shan, who was standing to the side, did not believe it at all. He kept giving Luo Qing meaningful glances, his eyes full of urgent reminders.

Liu Yueru disregarded even the life-saving grace, showing her wicked heart and being just like Wu Chou; her promises are absolutely untrustworthy.

However, Luo Qing seemed completely oblivious to his gaze and continued to speak calmly with Liu Yueru.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister."

Luo Qing bowed and thanked him, then turned to look at Nie Shan and the other two, his tone gentle:

"Senior Brother Nie, the temperature emanating from the Golden Sun is extremely high. Only this Refining Altar can isolate it to some extent with the help of the formation. You should quickly go inside to avoid being burned by the divine fire."

Nie Shan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Liu Yueru with a pained expression, his tone pleading:

"Senior Sister Liu, the three of us have low cultivation levels and cannot withstand the lingering power of this scorching sun."

Look, both of my nephews are about to collapse. Shall we go inside together to take shelter?

Judging from the current situation, the treasure's complete formation won't be a matter of a short time.

Luo Qing followed his gaze and saw that Yuan Yao and Yan Li were already drenched in sweat, and if they continued to push themselves, they would probably faint at any moment.

Liu Yueru glanced at the two women, her eyes expressionless, and waved her hand dismissively:

"Go in on your own, but you are not allowed to leave the Refining Altar even a step, and you are not allowed to approach the core of the formation."

She would never allow the Golden Light Profound Fire Liquid to leave her sight, not even for a moment, and could only allow Nie Shan and the other two to hide at the edge of the altar.

Upon hearing this, Nie Shan became even more certain of his guess, but on the surface, he still quickly thanked him.

"Thank you for your consideration, senior sister."

Having said that, he carefully flew into the Refining Altar with Yuan Yao and Yan Li.

As soon as he landed, Nie Shan pretended to sit cross-legged to meditate and quickly transmitted his thoughts to Luo Qing, his tone extremely urgent:

"Junior Brother Luo, I know you must have a secret, but we must not be careless this time."

You can't believe a single word of that demoness's promises. She'll definitely kill us all after she gets the treasure!
