Chapter 2270: Chapter 752:
As pitch-black as ink, boundless in the Great Void.
A small boat emitting a brilliant constellation of starlight carries Lu Changsheng and two others across the void, heading towards the Goddess Palace.
Though this starship is not like the Michen Banner, capable of direct transference and teleportation.
But with the chaotic sense of time and space around it, Lu Changsheng discerned that this Spiritual Treasure is extraordinary, capable of traveling hundreds of miles in a single thought.
“Elder Xuanmu, you have rendered great service by gravely injuring Si Guihua in this battle; when we return, feel free to ask for any reward you wish.”
“You can also tally all your consumption and expenditure during this battle and report them to me.”
Shen Baishuang took an elixir medicine to temporarily suppress the side effects of a secret technique, her face pallid and her voice weak, like a frail and pitiable woman in her prime.
Just now, Lu Changsheng exhibited astonishing prowess, turning the tide, aiding her in suppressing and injuring Si Guihua.
Now with her elder sister Shen Jianjia arriving, the latter might feel uneasy, so she naturally needed to speak to put her at ease, enhancing the sense of security.
Even doing so could improve goodwill and allegiance to the Goddess Palace, preventing her from being courted away by other forces.
“Thank you, Second Palace Master.”
Lu Changsheng replied pleasantly, without refusal.
In the recent battle, he expended quite a few Third Rank Talismans, even using two Fourth Rank Talismans.
Moreover, Qian Zhuyan burnt several Supreme Spirit Stones and experienced loss.
All these were precious Spirit Stones.
Shen Baishuang’s willingness to reimburse him was naturally welcomed.
“Elder Xuanmu need not be so formal.”
At this moment, Shen Baishuang exhibited none of the rumored “Jade-faced Demon,” “Rouge Tiger” attitude, her voice soft and enchanting.
The methods and strength shown by Lu Changsheng in the recent battle had already earned her recognition, treating him as an equal cultivator.
Shen Jianjia, witnessing her sister’s demeanor, felt a bit perplexed in her heart.
Others might not know, but as an elder sister she knew her sister’s temperament well, never treating a man so indiscriminately.
Now, she showed such an attitude towards this Xuanmu Taoist… it was indeed rare.
At this moment, even she, the mistress of the Goddess Palace, felt more curiosity towards Lu Changsheng.
Injured, Shen Baishuang refrained from chatter with Lu Changsheng, sitting cross-legged for healing.
However, she conveyed the account of the battle with the Six Paths Demon Consort to her sister Shen Jianjia through transmitted sound.
Especially on matters concerning Qian Zhuyan, the Puppet Battle Array, and the Soul Beast.
“Swallowing Si Guihua’s Fourth Rank Ghost Pet!?”
Shen Jianjia had arrived earlier, and already saw Lu Changsheng’s Puppet Battle Array and the Soul Beast, thus not too surprised.
But upon hearing the Soul Beast had devoured the Six Paths Demon Consort’s Fourth Rank Ghost Pet, her delicate face halted momentarily, heart filled with wonder, finding it unbelievable and absurd.
After all, Third Rank and Fourth Rank is a wide chasm.
Even if the Soul Beast’s qi mechanism is infinitely close to Fourth Rank, it still hadn’t ascended to the Fourth Rank, there remained an insurmountable rift between the two.
Yet in such a scenario, its spiritual pet unexpectedly reversed to swallow the Fourth Rank…
At this moment, Shen Jianjia suddenly understood why her sister valued this Elder Xuanmu so highly.
If this spiritual pet ascends to Fourth Rank…
…
Roughly an hour later, the starship pierced through the Great Void, appearing above Penglai Island, then sailed towards the Goddess Palace.
“Elder Xuanmu, I will take Little Frost back for healing first. If you have anything, feel free to send word via me or Granny Ma.”
Having learned about Lu Changsheng from her sister, Shen Jianjia, the mistress of the Goddess Palace, regarded Lu Changsheng with greater importance.
Raising her jade hand, she drew a Jade Talisman from her sleeve, indicating that he could directly contact her in case of urgency.
“Take care, Great Palace Master.”
Lu Changsheng accepted the Jade Talisman, distinctly sensing the change in Shen Baishuang’s attitude towards him.
As for Shen Jianjia…
The Great Palace Master’s demeanor also became friendlier, but more natural.
Gazing at the sisters resembling twin celestial blossoms, graceful and noble, of unmatched beauty, gradually disappearing, Lu Changsheng breathed out a breath of turbid energy and returned to Rongyue Island.
“Elder Xuanmu.”
Sensing Lu Changsheng’s return, Song Yudie, serving as caretaker of Rongyue Island, immediately came to greet him.
Seeing the elder’s fatigued complexion and the somewhat chaotic mana qi mechanism, Song Yudie instantly inquired about any instructions.
“Nothing in particular, you may leave. If anyone visits, say I am in closed-door cultivation for healing.”
Seeing the concern in the depths of her eyes, Lu Changsheng smiled and spoke.
After entering the Cave Mansion, Lu Changsheng released Qian Zhuyan from the Spiritual Pet Bag, concerned: “Little Yan, how are you? Did this battle incur any losses on you?”
In the battle with the Six Paths Demon Consort, Qian Zhuyan contributed greatly.
As her master, he naturally needed to care for her well-being.
“Master, my body has fused with [Biyou Crystal Pearl], possessing an automatic repair function; there is no major issue, just used six Supreme Spirit Stones.”
Qian Zhuyan’s eyes burned with soul fire, speaking out.
Her voice eerie and hoarse, not capable of expressing much emotion, but Lu Changsheng discerned the underlying distress in her words.
After all, Supreme Spirit Stones are rare, each use reduces them.
“Though the puppets forming the battle array experienced some wear, requiring time for maintenance and repair.”
Qian Zhuyan continued.
Biyou Crystal Pearl is extremely rare.
The puppet body she had was refined with some Biyou Crystal Pearl from Lu Changsheng.
And Lu Changsheng only obtained a small amount from hunting the [Deep Sea Demon Whale King] in years past, barely enough for Qian Zhuyan, with none left for automatic repair for the remaining nine puppets.
Experiencing losses, she, as the puppet master, had to carry out repairs.
