Chapter 784: Chapter 55 ‘Bing’ Maxims

“At my level, what use do I have for Blood Divine Sand? It’s precious, but it’s useless to me,”

Ao Ren Demon Venerable slowly spoke, “So, rest easy. As long as Shi Wu delivers the Blood Divine Sand Vein into your hands, it will be yours, and nobody will be able to take it from you.”

“With the Blood Divine Sand Vein in hand, you can then trade it for Blood Spirit Crystals.”

“If you can’t find anyone to trade with, I, your father, will cover for you,” Ao Ren Demon Venerable snorted coldly, “Exchanging Blood Divine Sand for Blood Spirit Crystals is not a giveaway; they shouldn’t have anything to complain about.”

He was referring to those Ninth Grade Demon Cultivators who followed Ao Ren Demon Venerable.

“Even if they do, they’d better keep it to themselves!” Ao Ren Demon Venerable declared with an overbearing laugh.

From the beginning to the end, he never actually harbored the thought of using Qing Ge to take control of the Blood Divine Sand Vein.

His true intention had always been to find a legitimate reason for Qing Ge to acquire Blood Spirit Crystals.

Yet Qingshan was unaware of his thoughts but was still willing to endure humiliation for the sake of the Sen Luo King Realm, for him, and to become that son-in-law.

This was Qingshan’s filial piety, and Ao Ren Demon Venerable acknowledged it.

Chi Pu and Diao Feng, who were beside him, could feel Ao Ren Demon Venerable’s pleasure at the moment and could roughly guess his thoughts.

They both felt a bit sour inside.

No matter, even if father likes you more, once you leave the Sen Luo King Realm, what use would that be?

They thought so simultaneously.

“Your son understands, thank you, Father,” Lu Qingshan said appreciatively.

“Alright, then it’s settled,” Ao Ren Demon Venerable said in a good mood.

“Father,” Lu Qingshan suddenly thought of something else and spoke up, “There’s another matter I forgot to discuss with you.”

“Speak.”

Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment and carefully chose his words before selectively divulging the matter of Yu Luo.

“You poached from Black Sand’s corner?” Ao Ren Demon Venerable raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise as he looked at Lu Qingshan.

He found it hard to believe that Qing Ge could pull off such a high-level maneuver.

It didn’t fit the picture.

Lu Qingshan hurriedly said, “Your son has always been displeased with the conflict between Hei Sha Demon Venerable and Father, and on impulse, I just…”

I see.

Hearing this explanation, Ao Ren Demon Venerable’s frown relaxed as he reassured, “It’s a trivial matter; fine birds choose trees to nest in. Since it was a mutual agreement and you didn’t forcibly poach,…”

In fact, it was a forceful poach.

“I’ll back you up on this, so rest assured,” Ao Ren Demon Venerable continued.

It wasn’t in vain that I’ve called you ‘Dad’ so many times.

Lu Qingshan inwardly thought, but outwardly he expressed gratefully, “Thank you, Father.”

Ao Ren Demon Venerable nodded indifferently.

“By the way, Father, I also have something to discuss with you.” Seeing that the matter with Lu Qingshan was settled, Diao Feng suddenly spoke up.

“Hmm?”

“I wish to visit the Secret Law Heritage Hall again to attempt cultivating the ‘Bing’ character’s Second Seal Meeting,” Diao Feng explained.

No sooner had he spoken than both Chi Pu and Lu Qingshan turned their gazes towards Diao Feng.

Has my younger brother actually reached such a level?

Chi Pu inwardly wondered.

In his heart, Diao Feng was the real competitor he acknowledged.

After all, Diao Feng’s strength was on par with his.

As for Qing Ge, he was merely a half-blood indulged by their father.

No matter what, it couldn’t conceal the fact that he was currently only a Sixth Grade.

The two weren’t of the same level.

So, when he suddenly heard that Diao Feng’s strength was about to increase, Chi Pu subconsciously paid attention and immediately shifted his focus away from “Qing Ge”.

As for Lu Qingshan, he was attracted by the “Bing” character’s technique.

He was very interested in the Explosive Seed Secret Technique that Qing Ge had previously displayed in the Heritage Hall.

“Fine, then I’ll open the Secret Law Heritage Hall, and you can go in by yourself later,” Ao Ren Demon Venerable responded calmly.

“Father, I would also like to have a look,” Lu Qingshan said impulsively, suddenly speaking up.

“You’ve only recently succeeded in cultivating the ‘Bing’ character’s First Seal Meeting, so why join the commotion needlessly?” Diao Feng couldn’t help but interject.

–His sourness towards Lu Qingshan hadn’t completely subsided yet; he was in a state where he found Lu Qingshan irritating no matter what.

“There’s no harm in taking a look; it’s not a big deal,” Ao Ren Demon Venerable said, “It’s good to broaden one’s horizons. Even if it’s impossible to master the Second Seal Meeting, perhaps it can still be inspiring.”

With Ao Ren Demon Venerable’s approval, Lu Qingshan immediately gave Diao Feng a provocative look–fully immersing himself in Qing Ge’s arrogant persona.

That Ao Ren Demon Venerable would agree to his request was within his expectations.

It was a simple matter of compensatory psychology.

He had just acquiesced to something as “difficult” as becoming a son-in-law, and Ao Ren Demon Venerable was feeling somewhat guilty at the moment.

Any request he made at this time, as long as it wasn’t too excessive, would generally be accepted.

And indeed it was so.

Diao Feng wanted to say more, but Ao Ren Demon Venerable had already stood up and left.

“The Secret Law Heritage Hall is now open; the two of you can go there by yourselves.”

Diao Feng opened his mouth to speak, but then, with a resentful flick of his sleeve, he turned and walked away.

“Why the rush, Second Brother?” Lu Qingshan’s tone was full of mockery, “I don’t know the way; if Second Brother doesn’t wait for me, what if I get lost later?”

Lu Qingshan was being literal.

How would he know where the Secret Law Heritage Hall was located?

But to Diao Feng’s ears, it sounded like something else.

How could Qing Ge, who recently learned the ‘Bing’ character’s First Seal Meeting in the Heritage Hall, not know the way?

This guy is just out to annoy me.

Diao Feng thought bitterly.
