Chapter 147 - 94: Is This Also Considered Peach Blossom Luck?_2
He had not expected this young man to still be alive, and immediately threw out a talisman.
“Are you crazy or something? Can’t you handle a loss?”
Seeing this turn of events, the young man’s face instantly turned extremely unsightly.
It was as if Ximen Qing was caught in the act with Pan Jinlian by Wu Dalang and Wu’Er.
He had never seen someone like this before.
The man used talisman treasures right from the start!
Treating talismans as if they cost him nothing.
Do your talismans cost you nothing?
He deeply regretted his actions, filled with remorse.
Foolishly leading trouble to his own doorstep was what he was playing at.
Now it seemed he was about to turn the situation on its head.
Not only facing a heavy loss, but he also might end up falling here.
He slapped his palm, using a supreme talisman, the Golden Light Bodyguard Charm, enveloping himself in golden light.
At the same time, he took out a blue pearl and, holding it high above his head, said threateningly, “If you attack again, I’ll detonate this Heavenly Thunder Pearl! I’m prepared for mutual destruction!”
“Heavenly Thunder Pearl?”
Lu Changsheng heard this and observed the walnut-sized blue pearl in the other’s hand, narrowing his eyes and halting his attack.
He had never seen a Heavenly Thunder Pearl before.
But he had read about such things in books.
Legend had it that the Heavenly Thunder Pearl was forged by a Nascent Soul True Lord from the lightning between heaven and earth, with each pearl possessing immense power.
Even a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage would be annihilated upon direct contact.
He had not expected this young man to have a Heavenly Thunder Pearl in his possession.
“Fellow Daoist, we have no grievances nor grudges, why create such a scene?”
“They say a fight leads to a friendship. Now that we’ve met, how about we let this go?”
The young man, seeing Lu Changsheng had stopped, opened his mouth to say.
“How do we have no grievances?”
“I was on my way when you intentionally led trouble to me. Would I have wasted a talisman treasure and so many talismans otherwise?”
Lu Changsheng’s expression was indifferent as he spoke coldly.
“What do you mean by leading trouble? I simply felt a kindred spirit upon seeing you, fellow Daoist.”
“Besides, that Foundation Establishment Spirit Object should be compensation enough for your losses,” the young man said sheepishly.
“Heh heh.”
Lu Changsheng held a talisman, chuckling coldly.
“So what do you propose?”
The young man, hearing the cold chuckle, got somewhat angry.
He was not accustomed to such humiliation.
Not only had he nearly been killed today, but now he was humbling himself to make peace, and the other party responded with cold words.
“Compensation!”
“As long as you offer sufficient compensation, I will let you go,” Lu Changsheng said, ignoring his attitude and pulling out a stack of supreme talismans.
If he cowered just because of the opponent’s Heavenly Thunder Pearl, the initiative would be in the opponent’s hands.
He didn’t believe the other party would really choose mutual destruction.
Furthermore, by showing off these many supreme talismans, he was also making a show of force.
He wanted the other party to know that if they went for mutual destruction, he might die but Lu Changsheng might not.
The young man, feeling the faint oppressive force from the golden light above his head and seeing the stack of talismans in Lu Changsheng’s hand, realized he couldn’t escape this situation.
If he didn’t bleed a little today, he feared he wouldn’t be able to resolve this peacefully.
He took a deep breath and took a jade box from his waist, then tossed it to Lu Changsheng, saying, “Inside is a Heavenly Heart Lotus, also a Foundation Establishment Spirit Object, helpful in developing Divine Sense during Foundation Establishment. This should compensate for your losses, shouldn’t it?”
Lu Changsheng enveloped the jade box in Spiritual Power to check it.
Afterward, he opened the box and saw inside a snow-white lotus flower emitting a faint glow.
The moment the box was opened, a refreshing scent wafted out, invigorating the spirit.
Good stuff!
Lu Changsheng immediately closed the box, knowing such Spiritual Objects must be kept in a treasure box to prevent the loss of their potency.
He then looked at the young man and said indifferently, “Give me one more Foundation Establishment Spirit Object that benefits the physical body, and we’ll call it even.”
“Do you think Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects are just lying around everywhere? Where am I supposed to find so many?” the young man retorted angrily.
To his knowledge, just one of these Spirit Objects could be worth at least two to three thousand Spirit Stones and was considered priceless.
Having two of these Spirit Objects was already quite fortunate for him.
Lu Changsheng, not believing his words, eyed him suspiciously.
After all, the man had used a Foundation Establishment Spirit Object when causing trouble.
And now here was another Foundation Establishment Spirit Object.
To have survived the attack of his talisman treasure and so many talismans was no small feat.
Now, to produce a Heavenly Thunder Pearl of such rarity also indicated that the young man was no simple character.
“What are you looking at? Are you going to let me go or not?” the young man became impatient under Lu Changsheng’s scrutiny while holding the Heavenly Thunder Pearl.
“I saw you commanding so many insects. You must possess an Insect Commanding Technique, right?”
“Give me that technique, and we’ll settle this,” Lu Changsheng didn’t want to push the man to desperation.
Even a cornered dog will leap over a wall, much less a person.
Thinking about the Insect Commanding Technique the other party had used, he became interested.
He thought it might be useful to raise some insects himself.
“That’s out of the question, it’s a secret technique of my family,” the young man immediately refused.
He then added, “However, I can give you a Beast Taming inheritance.”
“Beast Taming inheritance? Which grade?” Lu Changsheng inquired upon hearing this.
He had been considering obtaining a method to tame and command beasts.
Perhaps he could accelerate the growth of the Nine Netherhound.
However, from his inquiries in the marketplace, he learned that knowledge was tightly monopolized in this world.
This was true for both cultivation methods and the inheritance of various cultivator arts.
First Grade inheritances were a little easier, being obtainable for the right price.
But for higher grades, it wasn’t simply a matter of spending money to acquire them.
Of course, Lu Changsheng also knew that he hadn’t reached that level yet.
