295: Could it be that a wondrous treasure of creation has appeared in the world?

The massive Wujue Spiritual Ore Mountain had been bizarrely emptied, and the cultivation of the two Prime Ministers of the Jinglong Kingdom had achieved a leap-forward improvement in just a few short years.

Each of these two matters was astonishing.

The first matter was fine, as it still fell within the scope of everyone's understanding.

But if the second matter were to be publicized, it would likely scare a multitude of Cultivators to death.

After all, this was the cultivation world; which Cultivator didn't endure long years of bitter toil and difficult cultivation?

Even within a top-tier Sect like the Guixu Sect, those who could break through from the Qi Refining Realm all the way to the Nine Apertures Realm within a short five years were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

There was definitely a major problem with these two Prime Ministers; there must be a heaven-defying Opportunity behind them!

“Could it be... a Creation Treasure has appeared?!”

Such an inconceivable thing seemed only explainable by a Creation Treasure.

Otherwise, how else could their rapidly advancing cultivation be explained?

Could it have popped out of thin air from the Void Realm? That was simply too absurd and bizarre.

Zhao Qingsu pondered secretly, gradually sketching out the “truth” of the matter in her mind: two mine slaves had accidentally unearthed a Creation Treasure while mining.

This Creation Treasure was capable of devouring spiritual ore and providing cultivation feedback.

Afterward, relying on the miraculous effects of this Creation Treasure, they quickly raised their cultivation, killed everyone else at the spiritual ore mountain, then emptied the mine, fled to the Jinglong Kingdom, and eventually became Nine Apertures Realm Prime Ministers.

The more Zhao Qingsu thought about it, the more violently her heart pounded, and her body began to tremble faintly.

After figuring these things out, emotions like fear, trembling, desire, and greed flooded into her heart all at once.

Her pair of snowy-white breasts rose and fell due to the various emotional fluctuations.

If she could obtain this Creation Treasure, wouldn't she be able to leap up and become a top-tier Prodigy of the Sect!

However, she was merely a Middle Stage Purple Mansion Realm Cultivator; how could she contend against two Nine Apertures Realm great Cultivators?

She wished she could leave the Jinglong Kingdom immediately, fly back to the Sect at high speed, and inform her father so he could take action to seize it.

But just then, someone came to visit outside Zhao Qingsu's residence.

“May I ask if the Guixu Sect Envoy, Zhao Qingsu, is in?”

“My family's two Prime Ministers request your presence. We hope the Envoy can move to the Right Prime Minister's residence for a private conversation.”

Hearing the voice from outside, Zhao Qingsu's pretty face instantly turned deathly pale.

She used a perception technique and discovered that those who had come to her door were actually over a dozen Middle Stage Purple Mansion Realm Cultivators.

With such a lineup, how was this an “invitation”?

With so many people, how was this “asking” if she was in?

The entire Jinglong Kingdom was their territory; the other party knew exactly where she was.

Zhao Qingsu hurriedly performed a hand seal, attempting to send a message to her Sect Elder, but as the Formation lines lit up, her transmission was blocked.

“Is this a Restriction Formation? When was it set up?”

“Before moving in, I clearly checked carefully; there shouldn't have been any problems.”

Zhao Qingsu could now be certain that the two Prime Ministers definitely had a problem, and they must have discovered the secret investigation she was conducting.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to specifically send people to invite her.

What should she do? To go or not to go? If she went, she might encounter misfortune.

But if she didn't dare to go, wouldn't that be equivalent to admitting she had discovered something?

Resist to the death using Formations? That wouldn't work either.

They could even secretly set up a Formation to prohibit transmissions; other Formations had likely already been tampered with.

After thinking it over repeatedly and failing to come up with a good plan, Zhao Qingsu could only grit her teeth and agree.

Things had reached this point; she could only take it one step at a time.

“Fine, I will head over immediately.”

Zhao Qingsu took a deep breath, stepped out of her residence, and followed the group of Jinglong Kingdom Cultivators away.

She secretly made up her mind that as soon as there was danger, she would immediately use a secret technique to flee this place.

This was a secret technique bestowed by her Sect seniors, which could allow her to instantly teleport ten thousand miles away.

Even if the two Prime Ministers of the Jinglong Kingdom acted together, they likely wouldn't be able to stop her from escaping in time.

Furthermore, since she was a Guixu Sect Disciple, they shouldn't dare to go to extremes.

After all, the strength of the Guixu Sect was powerful beyond imagination.

However, Zhao Qingsu clearly still underestimated Su You's decisiveness in killing.

Just as she stepped out of her residence, completely off guard, her cultivation was instantly sealed by the group of Jinglong Kingdom Cultivators.

“Envoy, our apologies, this was ordered by the Prime Minister.”

Zhao Qingsu feigned composure, smoothed her clothes, and followed the dozen or so Middle Stage Purple Mansion Realm Cultivators toward the Right Prime Minister's residence.

Along the way, she was calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil.

On the way to the Right Prime Minister's residence, Zhao Qingsu was thinking of countermeasures... Stepping into the Right Prime Minister's residence, a rich Spiritual Qi rushed toward her.

The Spiritual Qi concentration inside this residence was actually more than half that of the Guixu Sect; clearly, an extremely exquisite Spirit Gathering Formation had been arranged.

Zhao Qingsu's heart skipped a beat; such a display was by no means ordinary.

Continuing forward, following the group of Jinglong Kingdom Cultivators through winding corridors, a magnificent pavilion appeared before her, its doors tightly shut.

The Cultivators leading the way stepped forward, knocked gently, and the doors slowly opened.

Zhao Qingsu took a deep breath and followed them inside.

Inside the pavilion, it was magnificent and resplendent. Directly ahead, two men dressed in opulent robes sat in high positions; they were the two Prime Ministers of the Jinglong Kingdom.

Their eyes were like torches, and when they looked at Zhao Qingsu, they both wore an inscrutable smile.

After bringing her there, the group of Jinglong Kingdom Cultivators respectfully withdrew.

“Envoy Zhao, it has been a long journey.”

Zhou Linxin spoke first, his voice carrying a bit of warmth as he gestured for her to sit down first.

Zhao Qingsu shook her head, bowed slightly, maintaining the proper etiquette, and asked: “The two Prime Ministers are too kind. I wonder why you have called me here?”

She tried to make her voice sound steady and normal.

Su You gave a light chuckle, stood up, and with a flash of his body, instantly appeared in front of Zhao Qingsu.

“I heard that Envoy Zhao has been investigating some interesting things lately. We two brothers have also heard a little bit about it and were curious, so we specially invited the Envoy here for a chat.”

His words seemed casual, but they made Zhao Qingsu's heart tighten; her investigation had indeed caught the other party's attention.

Zhao Qingsu's eyes flickered, and she feigned confusion, saying: “The Prime Minister must be joking. This humble girl is merely interested in the world's interesting rumors.”

A curve hooked at the corner of Su You's mouth as he shook his head slightly, pacing slowly around Zhao Qingsu. Every step felt like it was treading on her taut nerves.

“Envoy Zhao, even now, you don't plan to tell the truth?”

“To tell you the truth, every move you make in the Jinglong Kingdom is right under our noses.”

After saying that, Su You waved his hand, and a Magic Treasure mirror emitting a faint light appeared out of thin air.

Within the mirror's surface, images of Zhao Qingsu inquiring for information from various parties and conducting secret investigations during this period were clearly reflected.

Even more terrifyingly, the process of her changing her appearance was also recorded.

Zhao Qingsu's expression changed drastically, her eyes filled with alarm, but she still forced herself to argue.

“What does this prove? As a Guixu Sect Disciple, I spend years in secluded cultivation; what is wrong with being interested in the strange tales of the cultivation world and learning more about them?”

“Envoy Zhao, you are very smart and very careful.”

“But don't forget, we two brothers are the Dominators of the Jinglong Kingdom!”

“Without our authorization, do you think you could have obtained so many secrets?”

Zhao Qingsu's heart sank, knowing the matter had been completely exposed.

Even within the Magic Treasure mirror, there was a scene of her exclaiming about the Creation Treasure.

She secretly circulated her Mind-Cultivation Technique, trying to find a way to break through the cultivation Restriction, while her face feigned composure: “Could it be that the two Prime Ministers intend to kill me to silence me just because someone knows about the great treasure? Are you not afraid of offending my Guixu Sect?”

“Afraid? Naturally, we are afraid. But by comparison, we fear even more the countless experts who would swarm here upon hearing the news.”

“Since you have pried into these secrets, you naturally must pay a corresponding price.”

Su You's gaze was cold, as if he could see through one's heart. “Since you have already pried into these secrets, you must pay a corresponding price—from now on, you will remain in the Jinglong Kingdom and shall not leave even a single step.”

After speaking, he turned and gestured to Zhou Linxin.

“Old Zhou, this woman is yours to enjoy as you please.”

“Ah? Mine?”

But at this moment, Zhao Qingsu unexpectedly and suddenly found a weakness in the Restriction.

Urging her Mind-Cultivation Technique, in an instant, the Restriction in her Dantian shattered, and her cultivation instantly recovered a sliver.

Without a moment to lose, she immediately sent a distress signal to her Sect Elder...
