Chapter 805: Chapter 62: The Secret of the Demonic Sword_2

“But unfortunately, reality is cruel. With just this amount of time, it’s simply impossible for you to complete your plan.”

“No, it’s possible,” Lu Qingshan suddenly lifted his head, dispelling all the confusion in his heart, and resolutely said to Ying Mingyue, as well as himself, “Only doing nothing will make it impossible.”

Ying Mingyue was slightly taken aback.

She fell silent, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a brief silence, she finally spoke, her voice faint, “Since you insist, I won’t say much more.”

“I can lend you the Blood Spirit Crystals, but all the conditions you promised must be fulfilled,” her voice sounded somewhat gloomy, “Moreover, I can’t lend them for free. There must be interest.”

“How is this interest calculated?” Lu Qingshan frowned.

“My father gave me five Blood Spirit Crystals in total. At most, I can lend you three of them and keep two for myself. When you return them, you’ll need to repay four,” Ying Mingyue said through gritted teeth.

Though she called it interest, it was really just a reason for herself, a way to convince herself to lend the Blood Spirit Crystals to Lu Qingshan.

After all, this was merely a verbal agreement. If Lu Qingshan didn’t return the Blood Spirit Crystals in the future, she would have no way to enforce it.

This was nothing less than a gamble.

…

Success!

Lu Qingshan felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Ying Mingyue was still too young. A few words and she was already maneuvered into his plan.

As for interest?

Something he never planned to return, no matter how high the interest was, what impact could it possibly have on him?

However, at the final step, Lu Qingshan instead became more composed.

He didn’t agree to Ying Mingyue’s conditions immediately but deliberately pondered aloud.

After “carefully considering” for a long while, he finally nodded and agreed, “Although the interest is a bit high, I really need the Blood Spirit Crystals right now. I can accept your conditions.”

“Three Blood Spirit Crystals.” Immediately, Ying Mingyue didn’t say another word, three jade boxes appeared in her hand, and she handed them to Lu Qingshan.

Her eyes were filled with complex emotions, “Sweeping aside those of the same generation, even with the help of Blood Spirit Crystals to purify your bloodline, it will still be extremely difficult. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

Lu Qingshan accepted the jade boxes with confidence, “Just wait and see.”

Seeing Lu Qingshan’s attitude, Ying Mingyue couldn’t help but murmur to herself.

Also being of non-pure blood, she was far from having the confidence and ambition of Qing Ge. Instead, she was weak, constantly avoiding conflict, and allowing herself to be manipulated by others.

Because of this, Demon Lord Hongliang easily targeted her and even made a move against her mother…

Years ago, she nearly boarded the warship with her mother to return to Fire Silkworm City.

If not for some mishap, she would have stayed in Jian Luo King City instead of boarding the warship.

Perhaps at that time, she would have died with her mother in the so-called attack by demon pirates.

Her father investigated the matter and personally killed those demon pirates, but he never mentioned that they were under someone’s direction.

Did her father really not know?

If even Ao Ren Demon Venerable could trace it, how could her father not know?

Her father simply pretended not to know despite knowing.

Because, in his eyes, the life of a wife who was not of the War Demon Clan was far less important than that of his pure-blooded son.

How laughable!

She admitted that Shi Wu Demon Venerable treated her exceptionally well, but what was the use?

Some things are deeply rooted and cannot be changed.

Ying Mingyue suddenly felt that there were many things about Qing Ge worth learning.

…

On the other side, Lu Qingshan put away the Blood Spirit Crystals and casually asked, “By the way, if I wanted to see the Clan-Quelling Divine Arms of our War Demon Clan, are there any restrictions?”

“You want to see the ‘Demonic Sword’?” Ying Mingyue raised her eyebrows, surprised.

‘Demonic Sword’ was the name of the War Demon Clan’s Clan-Quelling Divine Arms.

Lu Qingshan nodded and casually said, “As you can see, the weapon nurtured by my ‘Refining Furnace’ is a sword.

I’ve always had a deep love for swords, which is why I dedicated myself to studying swordsmanship.”

“The Demonic Sword is a Divine Weapon left by the first Holy Demon of our War Demon Clan who stepped into the Semi-Saint Realm. It was the weapon of Mangcang Demon Venerable, who wielded it to be invincible for tens of thousands of years. It is universally acknowledged as the strongest Sword Artifact. My interest is quite normal, isn’t it?”

“Well….” Ying Mingyue could accept Lu Qingshan’s explanation and didn’t take it too seriously.

“Speaking of restrictions, there really aren’t many because, over the years, no one has been able to control the Demonic Sword, not even the Demon Lords. Therefore, there isn’t a need for strict guarding.”

“However, the Demonic Sword, as the Clan-Quelling Divine Arms of our War Demon Clan, symbolizes the royal fate of Jian Luo King’s Lineage.

It is enshrined in the Sword Commanding Stage and holds exceptional symbolic significance, so not everyone can see it. The Sword Commanding Stage is considered a Holy Land.” Ying Mingyue thought for a moment and explained.

Lu Qingshan frowned.

Wasn’t this just as good as saying nothing?

Fortunately, Ying Mingyue quickly added, “If you’re merely curious and want to have a look at the Demonic Sword, there actually are numerous opportunities.

Every twenty years, the King’s Lineage holds a ceremony to pay homage at the Sword Commanding Stage and worship the Demonic Sword. During that time, the Sword Commanding Stage is open, and you can attend the ceremony…”

“How long until the next ceremony?” Lu Qingshan asked.

“This year.”

“What is it about the Demonic Sword that prevents even the Demon Lords from controlling it?” Lu Qingshan asked again.

“Two checkpoints prevent others from controlling the Demonic Sword,” Ying Mingyue patiently explained, “To wield it, you first need the recognition of Mangcang Demon Venerable, followed by the approval of the Demonic Sword itself.”
