Chapter 1046

The Sword Pavilion, along with the area within a hundred miles, was completely reduced to ruins.

Although many people were interested in this territory, the flames underground were not extinguished, and the Heaven Alliance and other major forces didn't speak up, so for a while, no one dared to come and touch this place!

Xu Que didn't look down on this place either. Even if he said that this territory had been taken over by the Zha Tian Bang, he was really too lazy to spend energy here to create a territory. After all, he could leave in a month or two.

That night, Xu Que and Lan Xinyue's group returned to the inn.

This time, no one dared to come and disturb them again. Even the shops around the inn closed early, and even the girls standing on the street ran away to other streets to do business. The large street that should have been prosperous and lively was rarely seen, like a ghost street!

Xu Que didn't care about these things either. He believed that in a few days, that group of so-called big force members would come to find him again, either to win him over or to curry favor. They would come eventually; after all, this is the treatment that experts have everywhere!

After returning to the inn, Lan Xinyue's mood didn't seem very high, and she returned to her room early.

On the contrary, Lan Hetu and several young disciples of the Fire Academy stayed directly in Xu Que's room, pouring tea and water, constantly praising his strength, especially Lan Hetu, who kept calling him "brother-in-law" non-stop!

It wasn't that they were snobbish; it was just that Xu Que was too amazing this time. Being in the same Half-Immortal Realm, he could actually kill an early-stage Earth Immortal Realm expert. No one would dare to believe this if it were anyone else.

But the facts were right before their eyes. They clearly saw Liu Hualong's corpse and clearly saw Xu Que's destructive power, which was simply shocking.

"Alright, alright, come, tell me what's going on with that Brother Wu?" Xu Que quickly stopped the group's praise and changed the subject.

He was quite interested in the Brother Wu the group mentioned. Lan Xinyue's obvious emotional fluctuation clearly meant there was a story behind it!

When Lan Hetu heard Xu Que ask about this, the smile on his face suddenly stiffened a bit.

The other few were fine, and one of the men took the initiative to speak: "Brother Que, that Brother Wu is indeed a very good person. His name is Wu Shifeng, and he has the cultivation of the mid-stage Human Immortal Realm. In the beginning, Sister Lan had a very difficult time leading us. She had to be responsible for the life force and lifespan of so many of us, and she almost died outside several times, especially two years ago, when she was almost killed by a queen ant. Fortunately, Brother Wu helped."

"So it was a life-saving grace!" Xu Que nodded slightly.

"Not just that!" Lan Hetu suddenly spoke up, smiling bitterly: "After Brother Wu saved my sister and brought her back, he gradually got closer to us and often brought us life-force rice. Although the quantity wasn't large, at least it preserved our life force. I can feel that he has a special affection for my sister!"

"Hmm, this is very normal!" Xu Que responded indifferently. It's very normal for an excellent woman like Lan Xinyue to be pursued.

Of course, this was also because he didn't have any thoughts about Lan Xinyue. If it were someone pursuing Jiang Hongyan, Xu Que would probably be inquiring about where that person was buried now, and even if they were dead, he would have to dig them up and whip the corpse!

"Sigh, unfortunately, a year ago, Brother Wu and my sister went to the western suburbs together and discovered a huge life-force ant nest. At that time, many people were fighting for it, and the situation was very chaotic. My sister originally snatched a piece of life-force rice with a thousand years of lifespan, but unfortunately, she was immediately plotted against, slapped and injured, and the life-force rice was snatched away. Later, Brother Wu appeared and tried his best to throw her out of the life-force ant nest. After that, the entire nest collapsed and was trampled by ten queen ants. No one survived!" Lan Hetu sighed again when he said this.

Xu Que raised his eyebrows: "Life-force rice with a thousand years of lifespan? Isn't this comparable to the tens of thousands of grains of life-force rice I have now?"

"Yes, that is a very rare treasure, and according to my sister, there was more than one grain of life-force rice with a thousand years of lifespan in the nest at that time, possibly at least five or six. But in the end, no one could bring them out. Later, many people ran there to dig, but they didn't find the life-force rice. I guess it was taken away by that group of queen ants!" Lan Hetu said regretfully.

Life-force rice that can increase a thousand years of lifespan, even if placed on the Xuanhuang Continent, is a treasure enough to cause countless people to fight for it, let alone in this Lost Land!

"Interesting. Since there is life-force rice with a thousand years of lifespan, maybe there is ten thousand or even one hundred thousand years. I really have to go out and stroll around when I have a chance!" Xu Que's eyes narrowed, revealing a face full of interest.

If all life-force rice could only increase lifespan by one month, he wouldn't be very interested, but if one grain could increase it by a thousand or even ten thousand years, then it would indeed be a real treasure!

And the most critical point is that his lifespan has been reduced to a few decades now. There is a price to pay for performing the Reincarnation Palm in this place. Once the death energy doesn't hit the opponent, Xu Que himself will lose a part of his life force, and even if he hits the opponent, if the opponent's life force and lifespan are not long enough, the life force he absorbs is not enough to make up for the death energy he sends out, and a small part of his life force will also be deducted.

Simply put, this is like gambling on big or small. Once the Reincarnation Palm is performed, Xu Que is equivalent to taking out more than ten years of lifespan as a gambling stake. After throwing it out, it depends on whether he hits someone, or how much life force the person he hits has.

Like the queen ants and Liu Hualong, who exist in the Earth Immortal Realm, Xu Que often earns one palm for every palm he hits. However, calculating it now, Xu Que is still losing money. In the fight with Liu Hualong, he consumed a lot of life force, and only then did he restrain the opponent and perform the six-colored fire lotus.

It's just that after experiencing that battle, Xu Que also determined that he couldn't easily perform the six-colored fire lotus again in the future. This thing is too dangerous, and if he's not careful, his own life will be lost.

"Brother-in-law, how is the setup of that Void Boundary Talisman of yours going?" At this time, Lan Hetu looked at Xu Que and asked.

Xu Que waved his hand: "Don't worry, it will probably take another month or two. During this time, don't run around. Stay in the inn and cultivate. If anyone finds you privately, remember to tell me!"

"Oh? Who would come to find us?" Lan Hetu and the others were curious.

Xu Que raised the corner of his mouth: "There will be many!"

He knew the style of that group of big forces too well. According to common sense, they would definitely come, and no matter what their purpose was, the most suitable target for them to start with would definitely be Lan Hetu and the others.

The next day, Xu Que directly moved a chair and sat at the entrance of the inn.

He was playing with a "Ge You slouch" on the chair, looking very satisfied, checking the setup of the talisman by the little golden body from time to time, and opening his Divine Sense to observe the surroundings from time to time.

Beside him, there was also a sign, on which was written: "Zha Tian Bang consulting business, 2,000 grains of life-force rice per hour, starting from half an hour, 8,000 for the whole night!"

【Sorry, the power went out last night until this afternoon. My computer ran out of power halfway through writing, which made me so angry that I ran out to eat and celebrated. This chapter is the second update to make up for yesterday. Then there will be two more chapters tonight, absolutely, absolutely as soon as possible!】
