945 Plucking the Tiger’s Beard, Changes (4)

After he left, Ling’er hurriedly went up to check and exclaimed.

“Brother Xu Qing, there are 100,000 spirit stones here.”

Xu Qing raised his eyebrows, feeling somewhat favorable toward the middle-aged cultivator, then called for Ling’er to enter the back room.

Ling’er blushed slightly, closed the door of the apothecary, took a deep breath, and then, nervously following Xu Qing into the back room, she straightened herself, puffed her small chest, and spoke softly.

“Why did you call me over here in broad daylight, Brother Xu Qing?”

Xu Qing didn’t pay much attention to Ling’er’s words. He sat cross-legged and took out a fragment of mirror.

“Ling’er, I hope you can join the Moon Rebel Hall.”

“Oh?” Ling’er was taken aback and felt a bit disappointed. Xu Qing’s actions seemed to be different from what she had in mind.

“I’ve been trying recently, but I can’t get through.” Xu Qing felt helpless. Over these days, he had been attempting to pass the second test, but every attempt had been a failure, and none of the methods he had tried seemed to work.

Now, there was only one method left.

That was to let Ling’er join and complete the assessment. He would borrow the help of Ling’er’s lifebond technique to enter the Moon Rebel Hall.

The difficulty in this plan lay in the fact that the members of the Red Moon Shrine all had at least Nascent Soul cultivation, while Ling’er’s cultivation had not yet reached Golden Core, so there were issues with the sacrifices she could provide.

The test required that the target of the sacrifice had to be at the same realm as the participant. If the level of the Red Moon cultivator who was sacrificed was too high, this obvious loophole would be seen as cheating.

This also served to limit the cultivation level of those who joined the Moon Rebel Hall.

However, with Xu Qing around, this point was very easy to resolve.

Under Xu Qing’s explanation, Ling’er understood this. She silently concealed her thoughts and nodded vigorously.

“Brother Xu Qing, it’s no problem. I can do anything.”

As she spoke, Ling’er patted her small chest in front of Xu Qing.

Xu Qing’s mind was currently filled with thoughts of entering the Moon Rebel Hall. He had pondered this matter for a long time and had analyzed it thoroughly in his mind. He believed there wouldn’t be much danger. So, after explaining the steps to Ling’er, the two of them immediately began.

Xu Qing first got Ling’er to activate the mirror. After that, he took out two ferocious beasts with the same cultivation as Ling’er and quickly blessed them. Before their curse erupted, he threw them into the mirror.

Very soon, she passed the first test and the test of faith went very smoothly. Ling’er didn’t have any power of the Red Moon on her body, so she easily completed the second test.

The instant it was completed, the mirror floating in the air emitted the sound of shattering and a gap appeared.

Waves of suction force spread out from the gap.

“Brother Xu Qing, that voice told me that this is the entrance to the Moon Rebel Hall.” Ling’er glanced at the mirror and hurriedly spoke.

Xu Qing looked at the crack on the mirror and didn’t dare to attempt to enter. With the status of the Moon Rebel Hall, if someone who wasn’t an examinee forcefully barged in, they would probably be met with fatal power.

Xu Qing looked at Ling’er.

Ling’er’s eyes were filled with anticipation. Since Xu Qing had released her lifebond, she hadn’t said much, but deep down, she had felt quite disappointed. Now that the lifebond could continue, her heart was filled with happiness. Without any hesitation, her body transformed into a small white snake and landed on Xu Qing’s wrist.

At the next instant, a strand of green hair coiled around Xu Qing’s wrist.

The connection between the two of them was re-established. However, the current Xu Qing was no longer the same as before. With the enhancement of the power of fortune in his body, this time it wasn’t a one-sided connection, but a mutual one.

After doing all this, Xu Qing could clearly sense that he and Ling’er seemed to have become one at this moment.

“Brother Xu Qing, this is a special talent of our Ancient Spirit Race. In our entire lives… we can only bind to one person. Even if the binding is released, we can’t bind to another.”

“From now on, we share our fates. Your life is my life, your death is my death. Together through life and death, from sunrise to sunset, even in the afterlife, we are companions!”

An ethereal voice rang out in Xu Qing’s mind.

Xu Qing stared at the mark on his wrist and nodded solemnly. After taking a deep breath, he looked at the floating mirror and headed straight for the crack.

The instant he got close, his body directly transformed into a beam of light that fused into the crack.

He had entered a strange place!
