Chapter 668: Chapter 15 Friends_3

Mo Yan’s reaction somewhat surprised Dantai Qingrun, who was sitting nearby.

It seemed that the friend Lu Qingshan spoke of was indeed the kind that would go through fire and water for him.

Otherwise, why would he agree without even inquiring about the specifics?

One must remember, this involved the Underworld, not some small fry; the dangers within were evident.

Seeing Mo Yan agree, Lu Qingshan began to narrate the specific details.

Actually, the reason he called on Mo Yan wasn’t just for help, but also to present him with an opportunity.

Of course, what he said about the special aspects of the Underworld was no deception.

A simple logic: if the Underworld’s branch in other domains did not have something special, why would Lu Qingshan, who was still mingling in the Southern Territory at the time, remember it?

His target was an Underworld branch located in Su State of the Western Domain.

Within this branch, there existed a cluster of Demon Fire, refined from Netherfire by the Underworld Cultivators.

It was the presence of this Demon Fire that made the players who took part in the campaign to exterminate this Underworld branch suffer greatly.

Because the nature of this Demon Fire was such that it could corrupt a cultivator’s cultivation, in other words, it could cause players to lose several levels.

During that time, the players who suffered heavy losses due to this Demon Fire complained bitterly on the forums, with many taking pleasure in others’ misfortune. It became a hot topic back then.

This left a lasting memory in Lu Qingshan, ensuring he also remembered the address of this Underworld branch.

Although it was called Demon Fire, he understood that in essence, it was just another form of Netherfire.

As long as it was Netherfire, under Mo Yan’s Incinerate Body, it definitely couldn’t put up much of a fight.

After listening to Lu Qingshan’s introduction, Mo Yan’s eyes immediately shone with excitement and anticipation– for him, who could absorb and fuse Netherfire, a new type of Netherfire was naturally a tremendous opportunity.

“Brother Lu isn’t asking for help here, he’s clearly bringing me a gift!” Mo Yan realized after a moment.

Lu Qingshan smiled without a word.

A gift indeed, but it wasn’t given freely–if Mo Yan hadn’t readily agreed to help, Lu Qingshan would have kept silent about the Demon Fire.

You can have the opportunity, but you have to make it worth my while.

Friendship without the slightest touch of self-interest is too ethereal, too saintly, and can never last long.

But it can’t be based solely on self-interest either. Those pure things must also be present; otherwise, what kind of friendship would it be?

……..

As all three were men of action, once they made up their minds, they quickly prepared and set out for Su State, eventually stopping in a small city thousands of miles away from the location of the Underworld branch Lu Qingshan had mentioned.

“This time, our raid on the branch has two goals: one is to seize the fire, and the other is to try and trace the vine to find the melon,” Lu Qingshan explained their plans to the two men.

“Although we came here to kill the Underworld Cultivators, we can’t just openly attack them; we need to be a bit more cunning….

Without waiting for either of them to voice their doubts, he explained on his own: “I have a method that can mark a cultivator silently, allowing us to sense his exact location for the next five days.

So we just need to pretend to let one or two cultivators escape unintentionally, and then we can see if we can trace the vine to find more Underworld branches, to widen our victories….”

The technique he mentioned was the Peach Blossom Mark of the Indestructible Divine Ability.

After the quality of the Peach Blossom advanced to Supreme Quality Heavenly Artifact, the duration of the Peach Blossom Mark had increased from the original three days to the current five days.

This without a doubt enhanced its practicality, especially for dealing with the cunning Underworld Cultivators.
