377: Entering the Cemetery
At this moment, Zhou Luo had taken the initiative.
With Bai by his side, he was completely unafraid of the two Immortal Sect Disciples opposite him.
As for the background issue Shangguan Qianxue mentioned earlier.
He had already used means to improve Dragon Cloudfrost's favorability, so even if the Immortal Sect wanted to make an example of him afterward.
Leaving aside that this Ruin was originally for Disciples to gain experience, plus his several children and his relationship with Dragon Cloudfrost, he didn't need to worry.
If they were to discuss background strength, he himself wasn't too bad.
That's why he was so fearless.
Shangguan Qianxue pursed her lips and stared at the other party, a strange light flowing in her beautiful eyes.
She knew his way of doing things very well, and also knew that if she didn't take out something precious enough, the other party would definitely not simply give out that Spiritual Artifact.
At the moment, the situation was not favorable to her.
Thinking of her Revered Master's instructions before leaving, Shangguan Qianxue hardened her heart and finally made a decision.
She spread out her palm, and a cyan ring appeared there.
The ring was inlaid with a light red gem, which looked somewhat dazzling.
"This is the Azure Water Ring. It can not only heal injuries but also increase Cultivation. It's a top-grade Spiritual Artifact," Shangguan Qianxue said seriously.
This Azure Water Ring had always been worn by her. It was a Cultivation treasure given to her by her Revered Master back then.
It was precisely with this treasure that she was able to advance to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage within these few decades, making it one of her trump cards.
Now, for that Spiritual Artifact, for her future, she had to take out this Second Order top-grade Spiritual Artifact.
Zhou Luo's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
He didn't expect the other party to be so willing to take out a Second Order top-grade Spiritual Artifact.
It was just a pity that this was a treasure that assisted Cultivation. If it were an attack or defense type Spiritual Artifact, the improvement to himself would be immense.
However, if that were the case, the other party probably wouldn't have compromised so easily.
Regardless, this was still a top-grade Foundation Establishment Spiritual Artifact.
"This is not enough," Zhou Luo said calmly.
Compared to a Spiritual Artifact, this top-grade Foundation Establishment Spiritual Artifact was clearly far from reaching the value.
Shangguan Qianxue then took out three more golden Talismans: "These are all High Grade Talismans. This is the limit of what I can take out."
These three Talismans were also one of her trump cards, and now she had to take them out.
A top-grade Foundation Establishment Spiritual Artifact and three High Grade Talismans in exchange for a Spiritual Artifact was actually not very cost-effective.
But Zhou Luo knew that this was the limit of what the other party could do.
He wasn't unaware of the principle that possessing a treasure is a crime, and he knew very well that if he obtained that Spiritual Artifact, not to mention whether he could pass the test of the two people in front of him, judging by Dragon Cloudfrost's appearance, she would probably ask him for it afterward.
Facing this woman with royal blood, should he give it or not?
Since he couldn't keep it anyway, it was better to exchange it for some benefits.
However, this bit of benefit was not enough to impress him. He valued the other party's identity more.
As far as he knew, anyone in the Azure Origin Sect who was promoted to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage would participate in the Elder assessment. Once the assessment was successful, they would enjoy Elder treatment.
The two people in front of him were so persistent about that Spiritual Artifact, clearly for the position of Elder.
In the Azure Origin Sect, Elders still had a greater influence than ordinary Disciples.
Although he would not enter the Immortal Sect to cultivate in the future, his children would eventually enter the Immortal Sect.
At present, the eldest, Zhou Changle, did not have enough influence in the Sect.
Zhou Luo wanted to take this opportunity to expand his influence.
So he looked at Shangguan Qianxue and said, "Besides these, I also need you to do three things for me."
Shangguan Qianxue frowned slightly: "What things?"
"It's not urgent now, you'll know when the time comes. If you agree, I can give you that Spiritual Artifact."
"If not, then there's nothing to discuss."
Zhou Luo said with a serious expression.
He hadn't thought clearly about these three things yet, but it would definitely be after the other party was promoted to an Immortal Sect Elder.
Shangguan Qianxue thought for a moment, considering the other party's identity and strength, and nodded slightly: "As long as it's within a reasonable range, I can agree."
"Then give me those things," Zhou Luo said calmly.
But Shangguan Qianxue was stunned and said coldly: "You don't seem to have obtained that Spiritual Artifact yet."
"I will get it eventually. I need to make sure you won't go back on your word, after all, your Senior Brother will recover soon," Zhou Luo gave his explanation.
Facing such words, Shangguan Qianxue hesitated for a moment before throwing out a contract.
"Since that's the case, let's sign the contract. If you don't get that Spiritual Artifact, then all our cooperation will be void..." she said with a cold expression.
Although there was a risk in giving the things to the other party, if the other party didn't get it, they would have to return everything.
She wasn't worried that the other party would breach the contract.
Because this was a contract issued by the Azure Origin Sect. Once both parties signed it, it would be protected by the Sect.
If the other party violated the contract at that time, they would be pursued and killed by the Sect.
As far as she knew, the other party was currently the controller of a Immortal Family, and even had children cultivating in the Immortal Sect.
If he really disregarded everything and violated the contract, everything would be ruined.
She believed that the other party would not do such a foolish thing.
Zhou Luo took the contract, looked at the content on it, and then added the content he needed.
After that, he dripped a drop of his blood essence and sent it back.
Shangguan Qianxue looked at the content on it, found no problem, and also dripped her blood essence.
Immediately, the parchment glowed with golden light.
The contract was formed.
After doing all this, Zhou Luo ordered Bai to remove the illusion.
And after the illusion disappeared, Song Zhan also immediately woke up.
He woke up with a jolt, looked at Zhou Luo in front of him, and immediately retreated several steps, staring at the other party with a vigilant expression.
"It really was you who did it," he said angrily, a Spiritual Artifact already appearing in his hand.
"Senior Brother, let's just wait here."
At this moment, Shangguan Qianxue's voice appeared, stopping his intention to attack.
Song Zhan turned to look at his Senior Sister, with a puzzled expression.
Zhou Luo put Bai back into his storage bag and walked towards the tombstone.
"Senior Sister, what do you mean by that?" Song Zhan transmitted his voice.
Due to the contract, Shangguan Qianxue could not tell him the specific details, only roughly saying that the Spiritual Artifact would be theirs, but they could not disturb the other party.
Song Zhan was full of doubts.
But seeing his Senior Sister so sure that they would get the Spiritual Artifact, he didn't say much more.
Boom—
Just then, Zhou Luo, who was standing in front of the huge tombstone, used some unknown method.
Only a huge roar was heard coming from the graveyard behind it.
And after the roar, the graveyard suddenly burst into dazzling light.
Within the light, a path slowly emerged.
Song Zhan's breathing quickened, and his body moved slightly, wishing he could rush out on the spot.
But remembering what his Senior Sister said, he could only temporarily suppress his impatience.
Seeing the passage appear, Zhou Luo calmly and composedly walked into the graveyard.
