Chapter 667: Chapter 15 Friends_2

Is he that kind of person?

“Aren’t you my friend?” Lu Qingshan looked innocent.

“In three years, you went from being a newcomer on the Yellow List to the strongest in the Fourth Realm, and now you are a Void Refining Cultivator,” Dantai Qingrun sighed and said frankly, “I can’t afford to be your friend for too long.”

When Lu Qingshan became a Divinity Transformation cultivator, an Integration great cultivator, if she was still Void Refining, even if Lu Qingshan still considered her a friend, how could she treat him with the same casual heart?

But that seemed to be inevitable.

Given the talent that Lu Qingshan was currently displaying, how many of his peers could keep up with his pace?

This is the brutality of the path of cultivation.

In the end, when you look back, there are often only a few of the original friends and family members left by your side.

“Although talent is exceptional, the Heavenly Dao also rewards diligence,” Lu Qingshan said softly.

That statement is actually a “fallacy.”

The so-called Heavenly Dao rewarding diligence is actually also based on the hardworking individual having talent as well…

However, it was very appropriate for Dantai Qingrun, after all, she too was a person with a Spirit Root.

….

“Your friend, is he a person of the Candle Dragon Hall?” Dantai Qingrun asked in surprise as she looked at the majestic sect gates before them.

Lu Qingshan nodded and took a few steps forward.

Soon, a foreign affairs cultivator from Candle Dragon Hall greeted them.

“Where does distinguished friend hail from, and what brings you here?” the Candle Dragon Hall cultivator asked politely.

“I am here to visit a friend,” Lu Qingshan replied politely, “Could you please inform your Sect’s Mo Yan that an old friend has come to see him?”

“And who might you be?” the foreign affairs cultivator asked again.

“Just tell him an old friend from Jiaolong Island, and he will understand,” Lu Qingshan did not reveal his identity.

It wasn’t that he was deliberately being mysterious, but as he was currently a thorn in the side of the Netherworld, keeping his whereabouts hidden was undoubtedly the most important.

Given that Candle Dragon Hall was a top sect of the Cultivation World, it unavoidably had many prying eyes, and he was not ready to expose his identity lightly.

Caution was very necessary.

The foreign affairs cultivator from Candle Dragon Hall, seeing that the two were unwilling to disclose their true identities, hesitated subconsciously, but eventually went to relay the message.

Because Mo Yan was one of the most favored disciples of the sect in nearly a hundred years, with a very high status.

If the two outsiders were indeed old friends of Mo Yan and they delayed an important matter, he could not bear such a responsibility.

After a short while.

From within the Candle Dragon Hall, a red Escaping Light flew towards them from the distance.

The Escaping Light arrived in an instant, and a young but steady cultivator emerged from it.

It was Mo Yan.

Mo Yan, seeing two unfamiliar cultivators outside the gate, was taken aback at first, but the quick-witted man soon caught on, and with an unchanged expression, he said, “Please follow me.”

Lu Qingshan, decisive as well, followed with Dantai Qingrun in tow.

Mo Yan led Lu Qingshan and Dantai Qingrun to his abode.

It was a modest but elegant estate.

After pouring tea and serving it to them, Mo Yan then asked, “And who might this new friend be?”

Although Lu Qingshan had altered his appearance, Mo Yan recognized him; he was asking about Dantai Qingrun.

“Dantai Qingrun,” Dantai Qingrun took the cue and introduced herself.

Lu Qingshan smiled and added, “Cultivator Xiuchun.”

“So you are Cultivator Xiuchun, I have long admired your reputation,” Mo Yan suddenly realized; whether it was merely courtesy or true admiration for the name of Cultivator Xiuchun was unknown.

“Brother Lu,” after some small talk, knowing Lu Qingshan’s straightforward nature, Mo Yan got straight to the point, “Seeing that you have come from afar and brought a new friend, it surely isn’t just to catch up with me, right?”

“Of course, there’s a matter I wish to discuss, otherwise I wouldn’t have disturbed your cultivation for no reason,” Lu Qingshan nodded, looked into Mo Yan’s eyes, and inquired earnestly, “What is your current cultivation and combat power?”

Although Mo Yan’s name had not appeared on the Yellow List, based on Lu Qingshan’s understanding of Incinerate Body, as well as the profound resources of Candle Dragon Hall, he was confident that it was only because Mo Yan was being low-key, not because his combat power was insufficient.

“Nascent Soul Perfection, because I am attempting to elevate my Blazing Flame Intent to Fire Attribute Primordial Intent, so I have hesitated to break through; as for combat power…” Mo Yan thought for a moment and smiled, “Since joining Candle Dragon Hall, the sect fed me two more Netherfires, so although I haven’t practiced any spells, relying on the power of the Netherfire, I should have no problem being in the top ten of the Yellow List.”

This was Mo Yan’s unique advantage of being born with the Incinerate Body; he just needed to improve his cultivation and didn’t need to study too many spells.

After all, what spell’s power could compare to his Netherfire?

Who needs a bicycle when you have a sports car?

Rather than spending time studying spells, Mo Yan was better off consuming more Netherfires to enhance his control over fire.

“The top ten of the Yellow List, that should be sufficient…” Lu Qingshan silently nodded to himself.

Having assessed Mo Yan’s capabilities and ensured he met his requirements, Lu Qingshan got straight to the point, “My visit with Qingrun is due to matters concerning the Netherworld.”

“How so?” A glint flashed in Mo Yan’s eyes.

“You know that the Netherworld dispatched a Sixth Realm cultivator to assassinate me last time, nearly costing me my life…”

Lu Qingshan paused for a moment, and then continued, “Some time ago, I learned the location of a branch of the Netherworld in the Western Domain, so I’m planning to teach them a lesson…”

“It’s just that this branch of the Netherworld is somewhat special, and I might need your help; would you be willing to lend a hand?” Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.

“Count me in,” Mo Yan answered without hesitation.
