#284 - Wang Mang, the lord of Jinfeng City, likes to collect stones
Li Chengfeng looked at her expressionlessly and said coldly, "This treasure trove wasn't obtained with your help, but by my own efforts.
Therefore, you didn't play any role in this operation, so why should I let you go?
Although I'm not a person who goes back on his word, I also have principles.
Since you didn't help, then there's only…"
Before he finished speaking, a murderous intent had already gathered in his hand.
Qi Yan was terrified at the sight, and stammered, "Lord, please don't kill me! I'm still useful!
I used to collect many treasures, some of which I sold, and some I lost.
I'll go and help you find them all back now.
Perhaps some of them have research value. Although a newbie like me can't understand the mysteries, I believe you will definitely gain something."
Li Chengfeng sneered and said, "Then how long will I have to wait?
These stones you sold or lost, who knows which cultivator picked them up, or which rogue cultivator took them elsewhere.
I don't have time to waste on you. Do you know how precious my time is?"
Qi Yan immediately kowtowed repeatedly, and said anxiously, "Lord, I suddenly remembered.
There's a weirdo who collects strange stones, and he's taken all the strange stones from this entire Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range."
Li Chengfeng raised an eyebrow, intrigued, and asked, "Oh? There's such a person? What's his cultivation level? And what's his background?"
Qi Yan quickly replied, "This person is called Wang Mang, and he's in Golden Abundance City, three thousand miles away from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range.
He's the City Lord of Golden Abundance City, and his strength has reached the late stage of the Core Formation realm."
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "The late stage of the Core Formation realm, his strength is indeed not weak, and he's also a member of the royal family.
Wouldn't I be courting death if I fought with him? Do you think I haven't offended enough people yet?"
Qi Yan quickly shook her head and explained, "Lord, you don't know, this person has a solitary personality.
Although he enjoys the royal salary, he has his own unique qualities.
The stones he collects all come from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, and there must be something you need inside.
Moreover, you can be introduced by me, pretending to buy strange stones.
When the time comes, if you fancy any of them, I will definitely find a way to get it for you."
Li Chengfeng chuckled and said, "You're just a small mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, how can you have such great influence to help me get it?
Do you think I'll believe your nonsense?"
Qi Yan said hurriedly, "Lord, I really have a way.
Because the City Lord's son has always been fond of me. Over the years, I've been helping him collect strange stones from the entire Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.
If I like any of them, I'll keep them. Some that he doesn't like and I don't like, I'll sell at auction.
Over time, I've developed a deep friendship with him.
And his son has always had impure thoughts about me, but unfortunately, I've been focused on the Dao and haven't given him any encouragement.
If you need it this time, I can get the treasure for you through his son's hands."
Li Chengfeng thought for a moment and said, "Alright, since we're passing by there anyway, we might as well go and take a look.
If there are any stones I need, then it depends on your methods.
A well-executed seduction can accomplish things."
Qi Yan immediately said respectfully, "Thank you, Lord, for giving me the opportunity to work for you again.
I will do my best to help you get what you want."
Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "I'll leave this matter to you.
If you can get a strange stone that is helpful to me,
I will immediately let you go and give you a good fortune.
But if you make me wait in vain for three days, and it's just a pile of rotten stones, then I can only ruthlessly destroy the flower."
Qi Yan nodded quickly and assured, "Don't worry, Lord, there must be good treasures inside.
The City Lord has been searching for decades, and his vision is also very unique.
It is said that he has also obtained some benefits from some strange stones."
Li Chengfeng nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go there.
You go down now and think carefully about how to deal with that young master.
I don't care what methods you use, as long as you can get the strange stone I want."
Hua Zixuan curled her lips and said disdainfully, "Relying on seduction, what kind of work is that?
Just like me, I can make the other party be fooled by me with my silver tongue.
Why not leave this matter to me, I guarantee to trick him out of all his stones."
Li Chengfeng chuckled and said, "Stop talking big here.
You're only tricking people of the same realm, or even some Qi Refining stage cultivators.
Have you ever tricked a Core Formation old monster? Your trickery is just a small path in my eyes.
I don't care whether it's trickery or seduction, as long as it can achieve the goal, that's the best method.
Don't underestimate Qi Yan, she also has her own unique qualities.
I don't care what methods she uses, as long as she can help me achieve my goal, then I will let her go. Do you understand?"
Li Chengfeng turned to Hua Zixuan and continued, "Your main task is to think carefully about how to make your junior sister willingly hand over the Nine Profound Dragon Formation.
You don't need to think about anything else.
From now on, you will stay in this courtyard and can't go anywhere.
If you go out, my battle puppets won't be able to tell whether you're useful or useless, and they might kill you."
After speaking, Li Chengfeng disappeared from the courtyard in a flash.
Qi Yan stood up trembling, and slapped Hua Zixuan backhandedly, causing her to feel dizzy and bleed from the corner of her mouth with a "slap" sound.
She said angrily, "Why did you hit me?"
"You dead liar, what do you think you are?
Watching me make a fool of myself.
If you can't help the Lord complete the task, you'll be even worse off than me!"
Qi Yan left angrily.
Hua Zixuan glared angrily, hating Qi Yan to the core, and secretly vowed that once she regained her freedom, she would kill her first.
Her fist clenched and then loosened, clenched and then loosened finally.
Hua Zixuan, whose face was full of murderous intent, sat down on the ground helplessly, gritting her teeth and said.
"Li Chengfeng, you're ruthless enough, if you ever fall into my hands, you'll see how I torture you, I'll definitely let you know what it's like to be utterly miserable."
Inside the Living World space, Li Chengfeng was like a master, and his will could reach every corner as he pleased.
The rules here were set by him, and his perception was sharp, and any thoughts of betrayal or dissent could not escape his eyes.
Once discovered, he would quickly take action to maintain the order of this space.
In order to monitor this space more accurately, Li Chengfeng imitated the technology of Blue Star and created a unique divine sense scanning system.
This system was like a radar, constantly scanning every corner of the space.
Once it found any existence that violated the rules of the space, it would immediately activate the whirlwind and completely expel the other party from this space to ensure safety.
However, Li Chengfeng did not often indulge in these complicated affairs.
He preferred to come to the medicine field, watch the Primordial Golden Lotus that were growing vigorously, and chat with the beautiful woman from Earth, who had traveled to the Spirit World and unfortunately fallen to the Human World — Liu Ruoshuang.
The two had long been familiar with each other, and Li Chengfeng no longer called her senior, but affectionately called her sister, and Liu Ruoshuang was also willing to call him virtuous brother.
Liu Ruoshuang had a special feeling for Li Chengfeng.
She didn't like those native cultivators in the Spirit World, who dismissed the affairs of Earth and even ridiculed the civilization there.
But Li Chengfeng was different, he was full of respect and curiosity for Earth.
Liu Rushuang once vowed that when her strength was enough to ascend to the Immortal World, she would specially create an interface, completely replicating everything on Earth, and create a garden similar to Earth for herself.
But his dream had not yet been completed when he encountered a disaster and was knocked down into the Spirit World and entered the Human World.
Li Chengfeng was full of curiosity about the culture, technology, and biology of Earth.
He liked to get to the bottom of things and integrate this knowledge into his cultivation.
This cross-border integration deeply shocked Liu Ruoshuang, and she realized that she had never thought of using Earth's technology to help her cultivate or improve her strength.
From this moment on, she began to re-examine the value of Earth's civilization and think about how to combine it with the path of cultivation to create more unique cultivation methods.
