Chapter 288 Hush Money

"In short, the current situation is enough to show that the old Tiandao can no longer sit still. Even the actions are not as subtle as before. They actually choose to directly assassinate such a blatant method."

Over the years, many sects have suffered greatly from this, and these people have been completely despised by the entire cultivation world.

After the two of them sorted out their thoughts and knew what force was behind the situation, Qin Baiqing no longer even wanted to retreat. He had a sullen face and said nothing, his breath tense.

Situ Fusheng appeared in time and broke the stagnant atmosphere.

"You two have caused quite a stir this time," he said, rolling up a piece of paper in his hand, sitting across from them leisurely, and said in amazement, "You two have caused such a commotion in this small world in just half a day. That's your ability."

"What happened?" Qin Baiqing was puzzled. "What does our visit to Tongbo Sect have to do with the small world?"

"The Tongbo Sect was broken into by a thief, but it was unexpectedly discovered that the thief possessed immortal power and the secret to becoming an immortal was in the thief's hands. This news spread among the bigwigs."

He waved his fan, and jokingly said, "An immortal has appeared. Isn't this a small matter?
Ever since the Tongbo Sect's top brass secretly spread this news, those old monsters who were stuck on the edge of transcending the tribulation and could not wait for the opportunity to become immortals could no longer sit still. This!"

He took out the paper he brought with him and spread it out to show them:

"This is the sixth wanted warrant received through the auction channel today, specifically looking for Feng Budu by name."

Suddenly, Feng Budu’s true appearance appeared on the wanted poster.

"The painting is very similar..." Qin Baiqing couldn't help but admire.

Then he was shocked by the huge bounty offered below.

Even Qin Baiqing, who had seen a lot of good things and always considered herself wealthy, knew what a sky-high price this was.

How fanatical and jealous it will make people.

"Anyway," Situ Fusheng gloated, "Be careful when you go out next time, you two. There are hidden treasures in the store. Do you want to carry some more with you?"

After seeing the bounty, Feng Budu also fell silent.

He looked at Situ Fusheng with mixed feelings, and felt deeply that compared to the bounty, the person in front of him was equally unsafe, and if he didn't shut his mouth there would be endless trouble.

"It's the remnant of dragon marrow. After my refining, it can be directly integrated into the materials of the pseudo-immortal card. There is also a trace of immortal energy in it."

He pushed the dragon marrow in front of Situ Fusheng, and reminded him coldly in the other's shining eyes: "Watch your mouth, otherwise there will be many people who come to look for dragon marrow and immortal energy."

After some bribery and threats, Situ Fusheng smiled even more brightly, calmly rolled up the reward order and burned it: "I didn't see anything, you two continue."

"I'm going to go into seclusion." Qin Baiqing continued with her business.

She looked at Feng Budu and silently asked him what he was going to do next. When she learned that Feng Budu was leaving again, she immediately said in dissatisfaction: "We just met and you're leaving!"

"The core of the Tongbo Sect was replaced by Duan Yao, and the whereabouts of the original core is unknown. I will retrieve it."

"But I can't bear to leave you," Qin Baiqing pouted, feeling down, "I'm left alone again. You won't come back when I wake up from seclusion. I'm all alone with no one around me. I feel so pitiful."

"No one loves me, no one cares about me, there's only cold spirit stones..." She recalled the silence and almost silent atmosphere in the small world, sniffed and complained.

But I just can't bear to part with Feng Budu again so early.

He paused and turned back patiently: "A hundred years is enough to accomplish a lot of things. I have basically completed what I need to do. I will come back after finding the core. It won't take too long."

"When you wake up from your retreat, maybe I will be back, so it won't count as separation," he comforted her.

"Wait." Qin Baiqing caught the words of interest, narrowed her eyes and suddenly asked: "What did you do in the past hundred years?"

"Fake Immortal Card," he said without hiding anything, "The materials have been gathered, so we have to start refining. Now it has been successfully refined. From this point of view, what Duan Yao spread is not just a rumor. I do have a way to ascend to immortality."

Unfortunately, the fake immortal card is destined to be different from the opportunity imagined by these people. It is far from the mysterious guidance for becoming an immortal. Now those who are trapped at the peak of tribulation and cannot go any further and want to become immortal even if they are crazy probably don't know.

What they lack is only a vacant position in the fairy world, which has little to do with opportunity or not.

“I haven’t used it yet.”

The thunder-like news did not make Feng Budu's tone fluctuate at all. He said calmly: "After using it, as Duan Yao said, I will not be able to take action in the current small world. Now is not the time."

The fake immortal card is just a tool that he doesn't need to use now.

"Is the fairy world really so strict..." Qin Baiqing whispered curiously.

She just asked casually, but what came to her mind was that before she went into seclusion, she had merged the small world again with the help of the great formation and the system. The scene at that time was unforgettable.

Among the intimate fragments of the small world, you can occasionally see huge and unintegrated fragments of the large world.

At that time, Qin Baiqing was unable to explore the inner conditions of these large worlds. Now, thinking about it, perhaps these worlds that cannot be integrated temporarily are the higher-level fairyland.

What a pity... I was too weak back then to shake the fragments of the world. When I think back on it now, I feel nothing but regret.

In this way, he missed the chance to merge with the fairy world.

“But,” Qin Baiqing paused and said in a dilemma, “You will become stronger after using the Pseudo-Immortal Card, but you will not be able to take action. If you do not use it, your cultivation will not be able to exceed the peak of the Spirit Refining Realm. In this way, if you encounter a powerful person who is wanted for you in the future, it will still be very dangerous.”

There is no perfect solution no matter what choice you make.

"No problem."

He ignored the topic indifferently. When there was no one around, he solemnly took down a ball of light that was filled with spiritual energy.

The ball of light looked very much like the ball of light wrapped in fairy energy that Qin Baiqing had seen at the core of the dragon clan's formation.

Feng Budu's next words confirmed that the things wrapped in the ball of light were even more valuable than the fairy energy.

"The fake Immortal Card is inside. I'll give it to you for safekeeping. Come back and get it when you need it in the future," he instructed. "Don't expose it, otherwise there will be more wanted warrants for you."

"The temptation of the fake Immortal Card may make these people grab it directly."

"Yeah! I know. Don't worry about attracting the firepower. I will keep it safe and won't let anyone know!"

She nodded heavily, and after the two of them had explained everything, they separated. Qin Baiqing returned to Xinghai Sect along the same route.

As soon as I stepped into the territory of Xinghai Sect, I felt a familiar and dangerous aura.

He was the assassin who tried to attack Du Huizhou!

Her expression was stern, and her eyes were fixed on one spot. The man in the dark only had time to feel a bad intuition around him, and Qin Baiqing's attack was already following like a shadow, about to fall on that person.

The next moment, the spiritual light exploded, and there was no one there.

"Damn it," Qin Baiqing said with a straight face, frowning and saying, "He got away again."
