Chapter 187: Soul Jade

A moment later.

Mu Lingxi arrived before Wang Jianqiang and looked at him excitedly, "Senior Brother Wang, what a coincidence, you are actually here too?"

"This is no coincidence; I came here specifically to find you." Wang Jianqiang shook his head with a smile.

Mu Lingxi was startled.

Looking for her?

How did Senior Brother Wang know she was here?

Wang Jianqiang smiled, not avoiding Xing Li, who was standing to the side.

He recounted killing Long Aoyu and learning from Long Aoyu's memories that she had entered this Ancient Battlefield.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Mu Lingxi suddenly understood.

So the leader of that group that wanted to harm her that day was a Cultivator named Long Aoyu.

She hadn't expected him to have died at the hands of Senior Brother Wang.

Learning that Wang Jianqiang had come specifically to find her because he was worried she couldn't safely leave these Ancient Ruins, her heart instantly warmed.

She gave Wang Jianqiang a sweet smile, "Thank you, Senior Brother Wang."

Wang Jianqiang chuckled, "Why be so polite with your Senior Brother? If you really feel bad about it, just spend more time with me."

Mu Lingxi's pretty face flushed, and she nodded, "I'll listen to you, Senior Brother."

To the side, Xing Li listened to the conversation between Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi, dumbfounded.

Originally, she had assumed Mu Lingxi must be Wang Jianqiang's Dao Companion.

But immediately after.

Through their words and behavior, she discovered it didn't quite seem like that.

Then, she was stunned by the content of their conversation.

Could such things be said so nonchalantly?

Isn't this a bit too blunt?

Could these two be descendants of some Demonic Sect specializing in harvesting or dual cultivation techniques?

Thinking of this, Xing Li's expression couldn't help but change.

She had already been planted with a Soul Seal; Wang Jianqiang could decide her life or death with a single thought.

If the other party truly came from such a Demonic Sect, her future life would likely be extremely miserable.

Rather than that, it would be better to just die.

Thinking of this, she felt it necessary to ask clearly.

She looked calmly at Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi, "Daoist Friend Wang, may I ask which sect you and Daoist Friend Mu belong to?"

Hearing the voice from the side, Mu Lingxi finally shifted her attention to Xing Li, her gaze lingering on her for a moment.

Then she looked at Wang Jianqiang and exclaimed, "Senior Brother is getting more and more capable; you even managed to trick her into your hands without telling her which sect you're from."

Hearing Mu Lingxi's teasing, Xing Li's heart sank again.

Where is this something a proper woman would say?

"What are you spouting?"

Wang Jianqiang flicked her smooth forehead, "This Daoist Friend Xing Li is a friend your Senior Brother just met in this Ancient Battlefield."

While Mu Lingxi pouted her red lips and rubbed her forehead, Wang Jianqiang gave Xing Li a kind smile, "Wang and Lingxi both come from a sect called the Junzi Sect."

"Junzi Sect?"

Xing Li was startled.

"That's right."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "My Junzi Sect follows the Way of the Gentleman, emphasizing acting from the heart and being upright and honorable."

"Fairy must have been frightened by the conversation between me and my Junior Sister just now, right?"

"Actually, there is no need."

"People of my Junzi Sect never force others."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Xing Li's expression visibly relaxed.

Then, she suddenly noticed Mu Lingxi looking dazed, and her heart stirred as she looked toward Mu Lingxi, "Daoist Friend Mu, is that so?"

"Daoist Friend Mu..."

"Daoist Friend Mu?"

"Someone is asking you a question."

Seeing that Mu Lingxi still hadn't snapped out of it, Wang Jianqiang flicked her fair forehead again.

This time, Mu Lingxi finally came to her senses.

Wang Jianqiang gave her a reproachful glare, "This girl, even if you're happy to see your Senior Brother, you shouldn't be so rude, right?"

"Ah?"

Mu Lingxi was stunned, then reacted, "Ah~ yes, yes, yes~"

"I'm sorry, Daoist Friend Xing Li, my Senior Brother and I haven't seen each other for a long time; seeing him suddenly, I was a bit distracted, I hope you don't mind."

"Not at all." Xing Li shook her head, then asked again, "Daoist Friend Wang just said you come from the Junzi Sect?"

"Mm, yes."

Mu Lingxi nodded, "We do indeed come from the Junzi Sect."

Saying this, she pursed her lips and smiled, "Senior Brother is the number one person of our Junzi Sect's generation, hailed as the most handsome of the Junzi Sect's young generation."

"This girl, why does she blurt everything out?"

Wang Jianqiang gave Mu Lingxi a reproachful glare, "Daoist Friend Xing Li can see that for herself."

Xing Li:...

Although she felt that the words of both Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi were somewhat unreliable, relying on her sixth sense as a Star Envoy, she ultimately remained certain.

Following Wang Jianqiang for the time being should not pose any danger.

Seeing that Xing Li did not press the matter further, Wang Jianqiang's heart stirred, and he looked at Mu Lingxi.

"Lingxi, this Ancient Battlefield is filled with Ancient Remnant Arrays everywhere; how did you enter this Floating Palace?"

He did not ask this question directly but sent a voice transmission to Mu Lingxi.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's inquiry, a flash of bewilderment crossed Mu Lingxi's face, "I don't know either; after I entered through a spatial rift, I simply appeared inside the Floating Pavilion."

As she spoke, a hint of hesitation flashed across her face, and she continued via voice transmission, "I suspect it has to do with the Three Lives Body I cultivate."

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted; he suddenly thought of her cultivation base skyrocketing and nodded, not continuing to ask further.

He turned his head to look at Xing Li, who was to the side, "Daoist Friend Xing Li, what was inside that Remnant Tower you entered earlier?"

Judging by the reactions of Xing Li's two companions earlier, there was clearly a significant opportunity within that Remnant Tower.

He had been in a rush to find Mu Lingxi before and hadn't had the chance to ask.

Now that he remembered it again, he couldn't help but ask Xing Li.

Xing Li was currently at the mercy of others and dared not hold back the slightest bit.

Upon hearing this, she was silent for a moment before answering truthfully, "I do not know the specific function of that Remnant Tower."

"I only know that there are a large number of soul entities inside the tower; one only needs to kill those soul entities to obtain the Soul Jade nurtured within them."

"Soul Jade?" Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow.

Xing Li flipped her palm, and a smooth Jade Bead the size of a dragon's eye appeared in her palm.

"This object is the Soul Jade."

"The Soul Jade contains extremely pure, ownerless Soul Power; this Soul Power can be absorbed directly to enhance one's Soul strength."

Hearing Xing Li's words, Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi were both startled.

Soul strength is the hardest to improve.

From the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage, the greatest difficulty is the transformation of Soul Power.

If there were enough Soul Jade, wouldn't that mean one could reach the Nascent Soul stage much more easily?

Thinking of this, Wang Jianqiang beckoned with his hand.

He directly took the Soul Jade from Xing Li's hand into his own palm.

His Spirit Sense permeated inside.

A moment later, his eyes lit up.

"Such pure Soul Power, and furthermore..."

"It really can be directly refined and absorbed!"
