I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 799

Chapter 798 Exchange Conditions, Prison of Suppression

“Fellow Daoist, please tell me, what conditions do you want me to agree to?”

Luo Yuantian was overjoyed to hear that Lu Qing had finally loosened his grip.

“Don’t rush, listen to me first,” Lu Qing said calmly. “These resurrection resources aren’t free. Have those elders buy them with spirit stones. One resurrection resource costs ten thousand high-grade spirit stones.”

“Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones! Fellow Daoist, do you know how much ten thousand high-grade spirit stones are?” Upon

hearing this, even with his Dao Integration Realm composure, Luo Yuantian couldn’t remain calm and almost jumped up.

There was no way around it; the number Lu Qing mentioned was simply too outrageous.

Ten thousand might not seem like much, but those were high-grade spirit stones!

Converted to low-grade spirit stones, that was a whole hundred million!

Many powerful families and sects, even with tens of thousands of years of accumulation, might not be able to store such a vast fortune.

Now Lu Qing was saying that one resurrection resource would cost ten thousand spirit stones; how could Luo Yuantian not be anxious?

“You can refuse. What, do you perhaps think that the lives of those Holy Alliance elders in your hands aren’t even worth ten thousand high-grade spirit stones?” Lu Qing retorted.

“This…” Luo Yuantian was

speechless. The weakest of the Holy Alliance elders was at least at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul realm.

Each of these fifth-level Nascent Soul cultivators had expended vast resources, endured countless hardships, and relied on numerous fortuitous encounters to reach this stage.

Naturally, their value couldn’t be measured by spirit stones alone.

However, Lu Qing’s offer was indeed too high. Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones for a single resurrection resource was far beyond his means.

Even though Luo Yuantian was a Dao Integration Realm expert, he simply couldn’t afford such a massive sum of spirit stones.

“It seems that in your eyes, the elders you call ‘great contributors to humanity’ aren’t all that important,” Lu Qing said with a hint of sarcasm. “However, I think that since you’re so concerned about spirit stones, you might as well discuss it with the elders’ avatars before making a decision. Their

lives are theirs; perhaps they’d be willing to use spirit stones to buy their own lives.”

Luo Yuantian sighed helplessly and said, “Alright, I’ll discuss it with the elders and then let you know the result.”

Immediately, Luo Yuantian began communicating with the elders’ avatars he had stored in his space.

Lu Qing stood in the air, arms crossed, waiting quietly, not in a hurry.

He believed that the elders would make the right choice.

As for whether the elders had enough spirit stones, he wasn’t too worried.

As far as he knew, most of these so-called elders of the Holy Alliance had powerful backers.

In addition, the Holy Alliance was originally a sacred place for humanity, enjoying a high status and being supported by the entire human race.

Although Lu Qing had taken away their storage treasures, he believed that their respective family forces could still come up with ten thousand high-grade spirit stones.

After all, even the Gongshu family’s treasury contained tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones.

Even if they couldn’t come up with them, Lu Qing wouldn’t lose out.

He believed that by asking for the moon and settling for less, he would eventually get a satisfactory answer.

Luo Yuantian communicated with the elders using his divine sense, his expression changing several times.

After a moment, he looked up at Lu Qing,

his face showing some difficulty: “Fellow Daoist, ten thousand high-grade spirit stones is too much. Some elders cannot gather such a large sum of spirit stones in a short time. Could you perhaps lower the price a bit?”

“Sure.”

Lu Qing nodded. Luo Yuantian was overjoyed, but Lu Qing’s next words made his expression stiffen.

“If you don’t want to pay ten thousand high-grade spirit stones, then let’s settle it with top-grade spirit stones. Ten top-grade spirit stones for one resurrection resource.”

“Top-grade spirit stones?”

“That’s right, top-grade spirit stones.” Lu Qing seemed oblivious to Luo Yuantian’s expression, saying, “Generally speaking, one hundred high-grade spirit stones can buy one top-grade spirit stone. I’m only charging ten now, which is a tenfold reduction.

If you can’t even accept this, then don’t blame me for not giving you a chance.

It just shows that you elders who have made great contributions to the human race are only worth so little.”

“Fellow Daoist is quite good at calculating.” Luo Yuantian smiled bitterly.

Indeed, theoretically speaking, one hundred high-grade spirit stones are equivalent to the value of one top-grade spirit stone.

But this is only in theory.

In reality, given the preciousness of top-grade spirit stones, it’s impossible to exchange them for one hundred high-grade spirit stones.

No matter which power it falls into, it’s carefully treasured as a sect’s foundation.

Unless absolutely necessary, it will never be traded.

Luo Yuantian could only say, “I’ll discuss it with the elders again.”

However, Luo Yuantian also understood that this was probably Lu Qing’s bottom line.

If he tried to bargain further,

Lu Qing might really turn hostile. At that point, the opportunity he had worked so hard to obtain would be wasted.

This time, Luo Yuantian quickly got a result.

“Fellow Daoist, the elders have agreed to exchange your conditions for resurrection resources,” Luo Yuantian said.

“A wise choice,”

Lu Qing wasn’t surprised.

Since there was hope, he believed that the vast majority of people in the world wanted to live. Nascent

Soul cultivators were also human, and naturally, they wouldn’t be an exception. In fact

, powerful cultivators like the Holy Alliance elders, who stood at the top of the Tianyuan Great World, would cherish their lives even more than ordinary people.

“However, such a large sum of spirit stones cannot be gathered in a short time. I wonder if you could give us some time?”

“Three days.” Lu Qing held up three fingers. “I can only wait for you for three days at most. With your Dao Integration Realm cultivation, three days should be enough time to travel all over the Tianyuan Great World, right?”

Dao Integration Realm experts have already transformed their primordial spirit to an incredible level.

Even if they don’t specialize in the Dao of Space, the distance they can teleport is extremely exaggerated, far beyond what a Primordial Spirit Realm expert can do.

Lu Qing believed that if Luo Yuantian really wanted to, he could probably travel all over the human race’s territory in a single day.

Sure enough, upon hearing Lu Qing’s words, Luo Yuantian merely opened his mouth, then gave a wry smile: “Alright, three days it is. It’s a deal. I will come to trade with you in three days.”

After saying that, his figure dissipated, turning into a wisp of wind and disappearing without a trace.

Seeing Luo Yuantian leave, Lu Qing’s expression remained unchanged.

He wasn’t worried about whether the other party would keep their promise.

After this battle, he had a better understanding of his own strength.

Although the divine sense clones of the Dao Integration Realm were powerful, they were still no match for him, and even if several more came, it would be the same.

Therefore, he wasn’t worried at all about whether Luo Yuantian would secretly sabotage him.

As long as he was in this Tianyuan Great World, no one could do anything to him.

Lu Qing began to stroll around Tian Sheng Peak.

Although he had already taken the Holy Alliance’s treasury, there were still some places on Tian Sheng Peak that interested him.

For example, the Cultivation Technique Hall, which stored cultivation manuals.

Luo Yuantian was eager to raise spirit stones to exchange for resurrection resources for the elders.

He hadn’t thought about the Cultivation Technique Hall.

Perhaps in his opinion, with Lu Qing’s strength, he wouldn’t be interested in the cultivation techniques inside.

So he didn’t take any of the cultivation techniques inside.

Using his movement technique, Lu Qing quickly arrived in front of a large hall.

With a casual flick of his wrist, Lu Qing dismantled the array in the main hall and stepped inside.

A short while later, when he reappeared, his eyes were filled with satisfaction.

The Holy Alliance truly lived up to its reputation as the holy land of humanity in the Tianyuan Great World.

This cultivation method hall contained a vast collection of cultivation manuals.

Their sheer variety was astounding, even to him.

He had already reached the eighth tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage, and with a large quantity of high-grade spirit stones, it wouldn’t be long before he was able to step into the ninth tribulation.

His [Perfect Nascent Soul Technique] had only been deduced up to the ninth tribulation.

To go further, he would need to continue deducing cultivation methods.

However, he currently had no clue about the techniques beyond the ninth tribulation.

The countless cultivation methods in this hall could greatly broaden his horizons, and perhaps he could gain some inspiration to break through the limits of the ninth tribulation.

After leaving the cultivation method hall, Lu Qing continued to stroll around Tian Sheng Peak.

Unconsciously, he stopped in front of a cave.

“Heavenly Prison.”

Looking at the two ancient characters above the cave, radiating a dense, malevolent aura, Lu Qing finally realized where he was.

He had unknowingly arrived at the Holy Alliance Heavenly Prison where the Five Treasures Daoist and his companions had been imprisoned.

Remembering his earlier attempt to deduce the situation inside the prison, which had been interrupted, Lu Qing suddenly decided to investigate.

He casually unleashed a sword aura, slashing towards the prison’s gate.

But this time, although the entire prison shook, Lu Qing’s sword aura failed to fully open the gate.

“Roar!”

Just then, a terrifying roar resounded.

A massive black phantom formed before the prison, staring intently at Lu Qing.

The phantom coiled and twisted, revealing itself to be a ferocious black serpent.

“A spirit artifact?”

Lu Qing sensed the black serpent’s aura, somewhat surprised.

It was indeed the aura of a spirit artifact.

Could it be that this so-called Holy Alliance Heavenly Prison was actually a magical artifact?

“You want to stop me?”

Lu Qing activated his special ability, calmly looking at the black serpent.

Sensing Lu Qing’s gaze, the black serpent trembled slightly, revealing a look of apprehension.

For some reason, although this young man didn’t emanate any particular aura, a chill ran through its heart.

Even though it was intangible, it felt a shiver run down its spine.

At that moment, Lu Qing had already discerned the black serpent’s origin.

“As expected, it’s a spirit, a Prison Serpent, the spirit of a high-grade spiritual artifact, the Prison Cage. It can devour resentment to strengthen itself.”

Seeing the black serpent still blocking his way, Lu Qing took a step forward.

“You can continue trying to stop me, but if your spirit is completely extinguished, don’t blame anyone else.”

A wisp of aura emanated from it, and the black serpent’s body trembled violently. The next moment, it shrank back into its cave, never daring to reappear.

Even the entrance to the Heavenly Prison Cave suddenly opened, the original malevolent aura dissipating completely, becoming like an ordinary cave.

Lu Qing wasn’t surprised and walked directly into the cave.

A mere spirit of a high-grade spiritual weapon, without anyone in charge, how could it possibly withstand the onslaught of his killing intent?

Upon entering the Heavenly Prison, Lu Qing sensed an endless aura of death and resentment permeating the air.

It seemed as if countless horrific tragedies had occurred here.

He paid no heed and strolled leisurely through the prison.

This Holy Alliance Heavenly Prison was actually nothing special.

Like any ordinary prison, it was divided into individual cells.

However, these cells were all independent spaces, impossible to open without the corresponding incantation.

After wandering around, Lu Qing discovered that many prisoners were held inside.

He used his special ability to investigate and found that most of these prisoners had committed crimes and were sinners of the human race.

Only a few had been wrongfully imprisoned.

Lu Qing casually unleashed a few sword energies, cleaving through the cells containing the wrongly imprisoned prisoners, and without explanation, he collected them all.

As for those who deserved their fate, he ignored them.

After wandering around for a while, Lu Qing felt bored and left the Heavenly Prison.

The black serpent hadn’t appeared again from beginning to end.

Even when Lu Qing broke through the cell, it didn’t make a sound, seemingly acquiescing to his actions.

After leaving the Heavenly Prison, Lu Qing looked at the entrance and ultimately gave up on taking the spiritual artifact.

He already possessed enough treasures; a mere high-grade spiritual artifact wasn’t very appealing.

Moreover, the Heavenly Prison’s aura didn’t suit him; he disliked its lifeless appearance.

After leaving the Heavenly Prison, Lu Qing flew directly to the top of a palace and sat down cross-legged.

It was still early before Luo Yuantian returned, and he planned to use these few days to assess his gains.

With a slight thought, a wisp of Lu Qing’s consciousness entered the Fire Cauldron.

Then he saw a figure rushing towards him.

“Ah Qing!”

Little Li jumped into Lu Qing’s arms, her face full of excitement, chattering excitedly.

“Ah Qing, you’re amazing! You killed so many powerful beings at the fifth level of the Primordial Spirit Realm with a single palm strike, and even those at the ninth level of the Primordial Spirit Realm were blown apart by your punch! Even a Dao Integration Realm expert was no match for you!”

The little guy was extremely excited,

gesturing wildly as he described Lu Qing’s previous battle.

“Brother!”

Xiao Yan also came up, her eyes filled with admiration.

As for Wu Xing and Xiao Bai, needless to say, their awe of Lu Qing was even deeper than before.

Clearly, Xiao Yan and Xiao Li had witnessed Lu Qing’s battle inside the Li Huo Cauldron.

“Don’t talk nonsense. I can’t beat a Dao Integration Realm expert right now. That was just a Dao Integration Realm divine sense clone. If it were the real body, I would probably run as far away as possible,”

Lu Qing said with a smile, rubbing Xiao Li’s fur as he hugged it.

“Even if he can’t beat her now, Ah Qing will definitely be able to soon,” Xiao Li disagreed.

It knew how astonishingly fast Lu Qing’s cultivation speed was.

Lu Qing shook his head but didn’t refute her further.

“Brother Chen…”

Just then, a soft voice rang out.

Lu Qing turned his head and saw Chu Xiaojing standing there, looking at him timidly. (End of Chapter)
