Chapter 499 -327 Lu Qing’s Threat, Successful Refinement, Wei Xinghe’s Breakthrough_2

“The junior wouldn’t mind informing the senior, if this time the senior is unwilling to cooperate,

then by the time the junior visits again, there will no longer be room for negotiation.

The junior will forcibly refine the Leaving Fire Tripod and enslave the senior’s Divine Soul.

Perhaps the senior could gamble whether you recover faster and can take control of the Leaving Fire Tripod to break space and leave before me,

or if the junior’s cultivation progresses more swiftly, reaching the realm where I can forcibly refine you.

Facing Lu Qing’s undisguised threat, the middle-aged man’s expression changed.

He stared steadily at Lu Qing’s calm demeanor, knowing that his words were indeed true.

As an Artifact Spirit, his cultivation was extremely slow by nature.

The Leaving Fire Tripod had been severely damaged in the previous Cultivation Era, and to fully recover on its own was immensely difficult.

It certainly couldn’t outpace the extraordinary Lu Qing.

So if he didn’t compromise this time, the next time Lu Qing returned, it would likely spell doom for him.

“Is there really no chance for further negotiation?”

After a long silence, the middle-aged man spoke.

Lu Qing didn’t speak, but his expression said it all.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man sighed, “Indeed, times have changed. Fine, I can give up the last two conditions, but you must agree to the first request.

Otherwise, I would rather self-destruct than be enslaved by you.

You should know the consequences if a Spiritual Artifact loses its Artifact Spirit!”

“Of course, since the junior has promised the senior, I will not go back on my word,”

Seeing that the middle-aged man finally relented, Lu Qing revealed a smile.

“There’s no need for sweet talk, I trust no promises, only Soul Oaths,” the middle-aged man said indifferently.

“Then, I will now make a Soul Oath with the senior,”

Right there and then, Lu Qing joined the middle-aged man in swearing a Soul Oath.

As long as the middle-aged man assisted him in refining the Leaving Fire Tripod, he guaranteed he would never enslave him.

After the oath was made, Lu Qing immediately felt a mysterious fluctuation emanate from within his Heart and Spirit.

He understood at once that this was a sign of a successfully pledged Soul Oath.

A Soul Oath is sworn by a cultivator’s Dao heart and Divine Soul and once made, is recognized by the Heavenly Dao of this world.

If one dares to break the oath, the Heavenly Dao would deliver unimaginable punishment.

Thus, cultivators rarely make such oaths, and once an oath is made, they dare not break it lightly.

Feeling the successful establishment of the Soul Oath, the middle-aged man’s face finally looked a bit better.

“Then let me assist you now, first to refine and recognize the Leaving Fire Tripod as your master.”

…

In the Underground Cave, Wei Shanhai saw that the previously calm Leaving Fire Tripod had suddenly become restless again, and his heart sank.

Fortunately, the Big Cauldron soon quieted down again.

But he didn’t dare relax, instead, he kept a close watch on the Big Cauldron’s activity.

After some time had passed, he saw Lu Qing, who was seated in front of the Big Cauldron, open his eyes and stand up.

“Young Master Lu, how did it go?” Wei Shanhai immediately asked.

“Fortunately, it wasn’t all in vain.”

There was a trace of fatigue in Lu Qing’s eyes.

Even with the assistance of the Artifact Spirit, controlling all the restrictions of a Spiritual Artifact with his current Cultivation Realm was quite strenuous.

Luckily, he had still succeeded in the end.

In the astonished and delighted gaze of Wei Shanhai, Lu Qing formed a spell with his hands.

The next moment, the Leaving Fire Tripod generated a powerful suction force.

It absorbed all of the Fire Element Power that had accumulated in the Underground Cave for a long time.

Following that, the body of the cauldron began to shrink rapidly, eventually turning into the size of a thumb and falling into Lu Qing’s hand.

The Artifact Spirit “Yan,” sensing the greatly increased Fire Element Power inside the Leaving Fire Tripod, showed joy but also felt a tinge of sadness.

This was their sorrow as Artifact Spirits.

Limited by the multiple restrictions within the Spiritual Artifact, he could not control the Leaving Fire Tripod as he pleased.

Thus, even after staying in this Underground Cave for so long and accumulating Fire Element Power, it was less than what Lu Qing had absorbed in a mere instant after taking control of the Leaving Fire Tripod.

Fortunately, he and Lu Qing had made a Divine Soul Oath.

In the days that followed, with Lu Qing’s assistance, his recovery to peak condition was but a matter of time.

Thinking this way, the compromise didn’t seem like such a bad idea.

“Congratulations to Young Master Lu for obtaining the Exotic Treasure.”

When Wei Shanhai saw the Leaving Fire Tripod shrink and fall into Lu Qing’s hands, his eyes initially widened, then he congratulated Lu Qing.

“Senior Wei, do you have any regrets now?” Lu Qing joked.

“What are you talking about, young master? I know my own capabilities,” said Elder Wei.

“This Big Cauldron was never something our Wei Family could control.

I have a premonition that if we kept it, it might have brought disaster upon our family.

Perhaps by you taking it away, young master, you have once again saved our Wei Family.”

There was a solemnity in Wei Shanhai’s voice.

Just a moment ago, he had felt the change in the Leaving Fire Tripod’s aura. It was a barely perceptible yet terrifying might that left him breathless, making it clear that it wasn’t a treasure he could touch.

If they had kept it, the entire Wei Family might have faced a catastrophe when it erupted.

“Senior, you’re too serious. I’ve now taken the Leaving Fire Tripod, which is mysterious and marvelous, especially for Alchemy and Artifact Refining.

I shall be concocting Elixirs in the future. Should you be interested, feel free to come and watch,” Lu Qing said.

“Good, I will definitely be there to witness the Immortal’s alchemy techniques,” replied Wei Shanhai, immediately delighted.

Having seen Lu Qing freely display the Immortal Cultivation Technique, if he were to concoct Elixirs, it would undoubtedly be a Dao Pill of unimaginable power from the Immortals.

It would be an enormous opportunity if he could obtain one.

“The crisis here is resolved; let’s head out.”

By the time Lu Qing and the others emerged from the Underground Cave, more than an hour had passed.

The Wei Family had already instructed the servants to prepare a large table full of food and drinks.

The feast was ready just in time for their return.

After eating and drinking, everyone started to chat casually.

Wei Zian began to vividly recount their recent journey to Central State.

Starting from their departure from Cang State, he told about their encounter with the misdeeds of Silver Moon Sect, the slaying of the Silver Moon Sect’s Young Sect Master, their thousand-mile rush to annihilate the Silver Moon Sect, and their arrival in Azure Dragon City using the Wind-controlling Chariot, among other things.

The exciting experiences along the way left Mrs. Wei and the others dumbfounded.

Even Wei Shanhai had not expected that in just a few short months, Lu Qing and his companions had experienced so many events.

In particular, when they heard about Wang Cangyi being killed casually by Lu Qing in Holy City, there was a collective sigh of regret.

Wei Shanhai had thought that once his Cultivation Realm had broken through, he would personally go to the Northern Border to seek revenge on Wang Cangyi.

Little did he know that his former friend, with whom he had nearly a hundred years of intertwined gratitude and grudges, would die so easily at the hands of Lu Qing.

“Thank you, Young Master Lu, for eliminating such an enemy for our Wei Family.”

Mrs. Wei, after hearing about this, expressed her gratitude to Lu Qing with a surprised smile.

She despised Wang Cangyi deeply.

That villain had once almost led to the destruction of their Wei Family and had gotten away with it.

Now that Lu Qing had killed him, it was as if he had removed a great hidden danger from their family, causing her to be overjoyed.

“Madam, there’s no need for such formalities. Wang Cangyi and I had our own grudges, and killing him was just seizing the opportunity.

If he hadn’t come to me on his own, I wouldn’t have known where to find him,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

“From this, one can see that the ‘net of heaven has large meshes, but it lets nothing through.’ It must have been because Wang Cangyi had done too many evil deeds that he ended up in the hands of young master,” said Mrs. Wei.

Lu Qing smiled but said nothing.

Whether Wang Cangyi’s encounter with him in Holy City was the work of the inevitable net of fate, Lu Qing did not presume to say.

But the existence of the Heavenly Dao in this world was indeed real.

“Mother, there’s more, tell us more…”

Wei Zian was just about to continue recounting the events in Holy City when suddenly, from the direction of the mansion’s backyard, a powerful momentum burst forth.

It caused the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to agitate violently.

“The gathering of Primordial Qi, is it Xinghe breaking through?”

Wei Shanhai abruptly stood up, his face brimming with excitement.
