"Should I know about you?" Lu Sheng asked curiously.
This time, it was Zhuo Wenyu's turn to be flabbergasted. This person actually didn't know anything and just came up to beat him up.
However, she was experienced and knowledgeable. She reacted quickly and rolled her eyes.
"Let me go, and I can help you gather some intelligence on Scarlet District. Zhen Family isn't in a good state right now. Trust me. Letting me go will do you more good than harm. "
"Give me what you're wearing. If you have something similar, I'll consider letting you go." Lu Sheng pointed at the pearl necklace she was wearing on her chest.
"Deal!" Zhuo Wenyu was rather surprised. The pearl necklace she was wearing was nothing special. It was only worth some money because of its age. She did not expect the other party to want it.
"And that thing in the corpse's mouth. I want to take a look first," Lu Sheng continued to state his conditions.
He had indeed not wanted to kill this person. The other party was a member of Scarlet Tower and also of Scarlet District. His understanding of ghosts was definitely greater than that of outsiders like Crimson Whale Sect.
He wanted to find a breakthrough from the other party.
"That thing is useless to you. Only demons like us can make use of it, "Zhuo Wenyu explained. Strangely, even though she was heavily injured, her words were still coherent, unaffected by her injuries.
"And even for us, it's difficult to absorb this type of Corpse Qi. It takes time to wear it down."
"Corpse Qi?" Lu Sheng was enlightened. Although he could sense something strange about that thing in the corpse's mouth, it was only a vague premonition.
After all, if not for the Modifier, he would be an ordinary person. Therefore, apart from Yin Qi and inner Qi, he could not sense anything else.
"You're very strong. You're one of the strongest humans. They claim to be in the Sky Origin Stage, and most of them live in seclusion. How can you be so strong and still be in such a gang?" Zhuo Wenyu asked.
"My strength is equivalent to Divine Prime?" Lu Sheng was surprised. He had only used Level Five of Ultimate Crimson Skill. Coupled with Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill and all his hard body skills, his actual strength should be stronger than old Sect Master's, but not by much. Yet, she said that it was equivalent to Sky Yuan.
"Aren't you?" Zhuo Wenyu asked back. "I've fought with a few Sky Origin Stage experts, and their strength is about the same as yours."
"Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Let's see what this thing is." Lu Sheng looked at the pearl necklace on her neck without hesitation.
Zhuo Wenyu grabbed it and threw it to Lu Sheng. "To be honest, I don't really understand why you want this thing. Other than being a little old and expensive, it's just an ordinary necklace. If you want, I can get a lot for you. "
"I naturally have my reasons for wanting it." Lu Sheng caught the necklace and walked to the side of the bed. He cut open the corpse's head, revealing the thing inside its mouth.
It was a tiny, round, pitch-black cauldron. Its surface was carved with intricate patterns that looked like words. There were six handles around it, and it was about the size of an egg. It was made of neither gold nor jade.
Lu Sheng carefully picked it up with the tip of his saber. He looked at Zhuo Wenyu again. This woman's eyes were glowing green. Her eyes were really glowing green as she stared fixedly at the egg-shaped cauldron.
"You really want this?" Lu Sheng's lips curled into a smile.
"Of course." Zhuo Wenyu did not hide it.
Lu Sheng could feel the wisps of Yin Qi coming from the pearl necklace in his hand. "If you still have more of those necklace-like things from before, I'll give this to you."
"Really?" Zhuo Wenyu frowned in confusion. "Are you sure you only want that kind of pearl necklace?"
"No, I don't want this necklace. What I want are these old, mostly funerary objects. It's best if they were worn directly on the body of the deceased or touched directly," Lu Sheng explained. Zhuo Wenyu was slightly taken aback. She lowered her head in thought.
Zhuo Wenyu was slightly taken aback. She lowered her head and pondered.
"Something like this, can you take a look at this?" She took out a purplish-gold pouch with golden threads and handed it to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng took it and felt a wisp of Yin Qi again. He was delighted. He knew that he had made the right choice in cooperating with this demon.
"Sure! I'll give you ten more of these. "
"Sure." Zhuo Wenyu agreed decisively.
Lu Sheng was taken aback. Seeing that she agreed so readily, he immediately knew that he had asked too little.
"Uh, no … I made a mistake just now." He rolled his eyes and chuckled. "I want another hundred of these! I'll give you this treasure if you give me a hundred! "
"You!" Zhuo Wenyu looked at the bald man in front of her. She was instantly enraged. "Cunning human! Don't go too far!! "
"I'm not going too far. I'm just waiting for the right price." Lu Sheng smiled. "You're the one who needs this thing."
Zhuo Wenyu glared at Lu Sheng for a while. In the end, she was defeated. She really needed this small cauldron.
"At most a dozen. These things are considered antiques. They're worth a lot. Moreover, most of them are people's treasures. Even if I go back and search carefully, I might not be able to find them."
Lu Sheng looked at her and knew that this should be enough. She was telling the truth.
"Can you take it all at once? Can I trade it with you? No problem, right?"
"No! I need time to collect these things. I can't get them all in a short time. Moreover, most of them are people's treasures. I can take them out for you to see first. I'll give them to you when you're sure you want them. " Zhuo Wenyu thought that Lu Sheng was just interested. Now that she saw it, it seemed that he really wanted it. Thus, she was tempted.
"However, if you really want this kind of thing in the long run, I can find you a stable channel to help you get the goods. But you have to help me get something that only you can get. "
"Oh? Is that true? "Lu Sheng's interest was immediately piqued. There was not much Yin Qi on this pearl necklace. It was only a small amount. It was equivalent to the powder of the white-clothed ghost he had killed at the beginning. It was enough to deduce low-level martial arts, but it was obviously not enough to use it on high-level martial arts. But if there was more, or even a stable channel, then it would be different.
"Really!" Zhuo Wenyu nodded. Now that her life was in his hands, and the injuries on her body were burning with pain, she did not intend to lie to him.
"Alright. It's a deal. " Lu Sheng casually pulled up a piece of cloth on the ground and used the tip of his knife to pick up the small cauldron. He threw it on the cloth and wrapped it up. Only then did he pick up the item and look at Zhuo Wenyu.
"How do we contact each other after this?"
"How about here? I'll put a triangular stone under the withered tree on the outer wall, "Zhuo Wenyu said." You can send someone to guard this place. "
She gently tore off a small piece of flesh from the wound on the back of her neck and handed it to Lu Sheng. "This is for you. If you want to contact me, burn it."
Lu Sheng took the piece of flesh with the tip of his knife and carefully examined it. Only after finding no poison did he wrap it up with the rag from before and put it away into a package.
The necklace and the pouch did not have much Yin Qi. They were quickly absorbed by him. But in addition to the ghost he had killed earlier, the Yin Qi he had obtained should be enough to upgrade Ultimate Crimson Technique once.
"I hope we can work well together. Also, you'd better leave quickly. I'm going to burn this place down. "Lu Sheng chuckled and left with the small cauldron.
He did not care how Zhuo Wenyu left. He carried the bag and entered the courtyard. Outside the main gate, there were piles of firewood and kerosene everywhere outside the outer wall. He had ordered them to do this.
Xu Chui held a torch and waited outside.
"What better way to deal with the aftermath than to burn it down? Since I've already burned it once, wouldn't it be better to do it again? "Lu Sheng looked back and took the torch from Xu Chui's hand. He casually tossed it to the firewood by the main gate.
"Pa."
The torch landed on the pile of firewood and quickly ignited the kerosene. The yellow flame spread and soon thick smoke rose. The fire slowly engulfed the entire Song Manor.
This time, Lu Sheng had people carry a large amount of firewood over. It was to completely burn this godforsaken place down. It was much more prepared than the last time when they hastily started the fire.
Zhuo Wenyu was definitely hiding many secrets. But it did not matter. As long as she could provide him with Yin Qi items, Lu Sheng did not mind what she was hiding.
"Big Brother, is that all?" Xu Chui asked in a low voice. "That woman from before …"
"She escaped. But she was also heavily injured by me. Don't worry about her," Lu Sheng said casually. "Let's go back first. This place is finished. Our brothers are still waiting outside. "
"Yes," Xu Chui bowed his head in acknowledgment.
Lu Sheng led his men back to headquarters. After reporting the progress of the mission to old Sect Master Hong Mingzi on the Crimson Whale, he could not wait to return to the Golden Jade Greenhouse.
The lofts and courtyards here were almost complete. Because they were all made of wood mixed with bricks, the construction speed was very fast. It was now ready for occupancy.
Lu Sheng's living quarters had also been moved from the small bungalow to one of the two-storey lofts.
Upon entering the loft, he quickly entered a silent cultivation chamber, locked the doors and windows, and ordered that no one was to disturb him. Then, he sat down on the prayer mat in the room.
'This time, I should be able to break through the limits of Ultimate Crimson Mantra and deduce a new mantra!' Lu Sheng's heart was filled with anticipation.
Ultimate Crimson Mantra was very powerful. Previously, Level Five, Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill and hard body skills were enough to cripple Zhuo Wenyu, who could fight a Divine Prime expert.
If he went all out, Level Seven of Ultimate Crimson Mantra would be several times more powerful! Even so, he was still a long way from the realm of Bind.
But Lu Sheng could feel that he was slowly inching closer and closer to the boundary between a mortal and a Noble Family Anomaly.
Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and chanted.
'Deep Blue.'
"Swoosh!"
A pale blue frame appeared, hovering silently before his eyes.
A dialog box immediately popped up.
'Proceed with martial arts extrapolation?'
Lu Sheng calmed the turbulence in his heart. Feeling that he had completely stabilized his emotions, he chanted silently.
'Yes.'
The dialog box vanished in the blink of an eye.
After confirming the extrapolation, that wondrous feeling returned. Lu Sheng could clearly feel that all the martial arts in the Modifier could be extrapolated and fused.
He looked at Ultimate Crimson Mantra immediately.
'Ultimate Crimson Mantra: Level Seven. Special Effect: Blood Web. Enhanced Fire Poison, Sixfold Tremor, Enhanced Ignition. 'Indeed, there was an extrapolation button at the back.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Sheng was filled with anticipation. He pressed the button lightly with his mind.
