In this vast kindergarten, Li Chengfeng finally had the capital to establish himself.
He leisurely strolled through it, the spiritual herb garden in front of him having expanded to dozens of acres, the spiritual herbs growing vigorously, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
He smiled, took out some sealed spiritual herb seeds from his storage bag, and handed them to the dumbfounded Lou Lan.
"Lou Lan, I'm giving you these seeds to plant well. I think you're a good seedling for managing this herb garden.
As long as you do well, I naturally won't mistreat you, at least I can guarantee your life is worry-free."
Li Chengfeng's words were full of unquestionable authority.
Lou Lan took the storage bag, and with a sweep of his divine sense, he discovered that there were many precious seeds sealed within jade boxes.
He was shocked in his heart, but even more so, he was grateful.
He knew very well that he had once had a conflict with Li Chengfeng, but now he could manage the herb garden for him, and such treatment was enough for him.
"Fellow Daoist Li, you are really amazing! To have such strength after advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage, Lou is impressed."
Lou Lan said with emotion, a helpless smile on his face, "Actually, life here is not bad, you can be free and at ease, without worrying about anything."
Li Chengfeng laughed heartily after hearing this, his heart also incomparably cheerful.
His former opponent had now been reduced to managing the herb garden for him, such a transformation made him feel very interesting.
He patted Lou Lan on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Work hard, I believe you can do very well."
Afterwards, Li Chengfeng came to the side of the Primordial Golden Lotus.
This was one of his most precious treasures, and he had to cultivate it well.
In the future, he would also rely on this Primordial Golden Lotus to refine his natal magic weapon.
He carefully observed each lotus seedpod, leaf, branch, and flower, feeling the powerful force they emitted.
However, just as his divine sense reached the depths of the flower, his expression suddenly changed.
He felt a soul fluctuation hidden in the flower, which made his scalp tingle.
The Primordial Golden Lotus was a rare treasure in the lower realm, and there was actually a soul hidden within it?
This must be a great power from the Spirit Realm.
Li Chengfeng did not dare to underestimate this soul, although it was still very weak now, once it grew up, it would definitely be a terrifying existence.
He became vigilant in his heart, and with a wave of one hand, a mysterious force condensed into a gray blade in his palm—this was his Soul Severing Technique.
"Who is it? Show yourself quickly! Otherwise, don't blame me for beheading you!"
Li Chengfeng shouted sternly, his voice full of majesty and killing intent.
He was ready to launch an attack at any time, expelling this soul from the Primordial Golden Lotus or completely destroying it.
However, just then, the soul suddenly spoke: "Fellow Daoist, calm your anger! I have no malicious intent..."
Its voice was weak and trembling, obviously also intimidated by Li Chengfeng's power.
Li Chengfeng's heart stirred, and he temporarily put away the Soul Severing Technique.
He wanted to know the origin and purpose of this soul, so he asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why did you appear in this Primordial Golden Lotus?"
Liu Rushuang's soul suddenly woke up, and said with a trace of fear: "How did you discover me? I used the divine power of hiding the soul, how could a small Foundation Establishment cultivator in the lower realm possibly discover me?"
Li Chengfeng smiled at the corner of his mouth and replied calmly: "On my territory, any disturbance cannot escape my eyes.
Moreover, my divine sense happens to restrain you, so discovering you is naturally not a problem."
Seeing that Li Chengfeng was unmoved, Liu Rushuang quickly explained: "Little Fellow Daoist, please listen to my explanation.
When Liu Ruyan gave you the seed of this Primordial Golden Lotus, I felt the opportunity.
I originally planned to control him and let him plant this Primordial Golden Lotus well, but his strength was insufficient.
Later, when I met you, I felt that you were very strong and had such a mysterious space, so I wanted to take this opportunity to reshape my physical body.
But I didn't expect that I would still be discovered by you."
Li Chengfeng's eyes were bright, scrutinizing Liu Rushuang's soul, and slowly said: "You really have a good plan.
However, do you think you can convince me like this? If I let you go, wouldn't I be raising a tiger?"
Liu Rushuang sighed and continued: "Little Fellow Daoist is indeed intelligent.
In fact, I, Liu Rushuang, was also a prominent figure in the Spirit Realm, cultivating to the Tribulation Transcending stage, but I was secretly plotted against at the time of ascension.
I was seriously injured.
If I can reshape my physical body, I will definitely be able to return to my peak.
I am willing to exchange the method of condensing flying swords and cultivation secrets, just to keep my divine soul from being destroyed.
If you and I cooperate, each gets what he needs, wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Li Chengfeng frowned slightly upon hearing this, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Everything you said is just your side of the story, how can I easily believe it?
Moreover, you are a cultivator from the Spirit Realm, if I cooperate with you, wouldn't I be seeking skin from a tiger?"
Seeing that Li Chengfeng still had doubts, Liu Rushuang quickly added: "Little Fellow Daoist, please rest assured.
Although I, Liu Rushuang, am not a gentleman, I will not do anything that violates trust and righteousness.
If you are willing to help me, I will treat you with sincerity and never break my word."
Looking at Liu Rushuang's eager expression, Li Chengfeng's heart stirred, and he said: "Okay, I can consider cooperating with you.
But you must first make a Heavenly Dao Oath that if you dare to violate your promise, your soul will be scattered and you will never be reincarnated."
Upon hearing this, Liu Rushuang made a Heavenly Dao Oath without hesitation.
Seeing this, Li Chengfeng felt a little relieved and said: "Since this is the case, I will spare your life for the time being.
But you must remember that if you dare to have any improper behavior, I will definitely not spare you."
Liu Rushuang nodded repeatedly, but secretly thought in her heart: "This lower realm cultivator is indeed not simple, he can actually force me to make a Heavenly Dao Oath.
However, as long as I can reshape my physical body, all the sacrifices are worth it."
After Liu Rushuang made the Heavenly Dao Oath, she did not slack off in the slightest, and immediately used her divine sense to transmit her Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Secret Manual and Heavenly Thunder Great Art to Li Chengfeng.
She said sincerely: "Keeping me here will also benefit you.
If you encounter any difficult problems in your cultivation techniques, you can ask me at any time.
As time goes on, you will know that I, Liu Rushuang, am definitely not a person who violates trust and righteousness."
Li Chengfeng nodded, although he still maintained vigilance against this Tribulation Transcending stage old monster from the Spirit Realm, he also understood that what she said was true.
The other party's thunder technique, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, was crucial to him, and the method of condensing a treasure sword was even more urgently needed.
Seeing that Li Chengfeng still had some distrust, Liu Rushuang further suggested: "This Chaos Golden Lotus, I actually don't need too much of it, I only need its main god.
You can get its ripples and lotus seeds, so you won't lose out.
You must know that if I hadn't brought it to the lower realm, how could you have obtained such benefits?"
Li Chengfeng thought for a moment, felt that what Liu Rushuang said was reasonable, and nodded: "You're right, then let's cooperate slowly."
Liu Rushuang nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, I'll repair my remnant soul here first.
I was too badly injured back then, and was framed by those evil demons, but now I finally have the opportunity to possess a body.
When I cultivate to the Tribulation Transcending stage, I will definitely take revenge.
Don't worry, along the way, you and I will accompany each other, and I will definitely help you reach my realm."
Li Chengfeng smiled and thanked him: "Then I am very grateful to you, Senior."
Liu Rushuang waved her hand and said: "It's okay, I see that you are not easy either, it is indeed not easy for a small cultivator to survive in the cracks.
As for your cultivation method, I think your divine soul is strong, and you have a deep understanding of the derivation of cultivation techniques and secret arts.
It is better to comprehend and temper your own Dao method, so that you can better exert your strength."
Li Chengfeng's heart trembled after hearing this, and he secretly said that this Tribulation Transcending stage old monster from the Spirit Realm was indeed not simple, and pointed out his key points in just a few words.
He took a deep breath, and his respect for Liu Rushuang increased a bit.
