Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 722 - 367. Temporary Offering at Yunu Pavilion

"There's no need for a generous reward. Right now, I have something that I need Lady Hua's help with," Xu Xing said, looking at the kneeling and bowing Lady Hua with a playful smile.

"What is it?" Lady Hua was somewhat taken aback.

Considering her current status and realm, it was truly difficult for her to assist Xu Xing. Otherwise, in her gratitude, she wouldn't have mentioned a "generous reward."

"If Daoist Chang is interested in this humble, worn body of mine, I wouldn't mind serving Daoist Chang," Lady Hua pondered for a moment, a flicker of understanding in her eyes. She gazed at Xu Xing with an alluring tenderness, her voice taking on a flirtatious tone.

She had nothing left now but her body, which was still somewhat pleasing to the eye.

Becoming a concubine to a Primordial Spirit Ancestor, especially one as promising as Xu Xing, was akin to a sparrow transforming into a phoenix and soaring to a high branch—an excellent opportunity she felt no aversion to.

"You've misunderstood, Lady Hua," Xu Xing frowned, interrupting her.

It was no wonder she thought that way. He had come to the Yunu Pavilion seeking pleasure when he happened to run into her, an old acquaintance. Her belief that he was a lustful man wasn't entirely unreasonable.

"Could it be for Immortal Su Lian? I have been by her side for many years. Although I haven't earned her complete trust, I can still create an opportunity for Immortal Su Lian to get closer to Daoist Chang," Lady Hua said, a hint of disappointment on her face.

Besides her own person, her connection to Immortal Su Lian was the only asset Xu Xing could possibly want to utilize at this moment.

"However, I must remind Daoist Chang in advance: Immortal Su Lian is not as simple as she appears. Her relationship with Mr. Jade Void is... unusual," Lady Hua added.

Xu Xing had no interest in Immortal Su Lian, nor in her backer, Mr. Jade Void. His previous encounter with the courtesan had merely been a setup for Shi Feiyang, the Great Elder's direct disciple.

Xu Xing waved his hand. "I have no interest in Immortal Su Lian. The matter I need Lady Hua's assistance with concerns the Falling Soul Bell of Yishen Palace..."

As he spoke, Xu Xing retrieved the refining blueprint for the "Falling Soul Bell" and passed it to Lady Hua using his Magic Power.

However, he withheld the actual refining method and the required Spirit Materials for the "Falling Soul Bell," not revealing everything at once.

He still harbored reservations about Lady Hua. The account she had just given him regarding her ascension to the Upper Realm didn't align with what he had learned on Demon Island. When Elder Jiu Ling died tragically, some cultivators had reportedly seen Lady Hua. Rumor had it that she had lost an arm and left the Louhai Secret Realm, her whereabouts unknown. This time, Xu Xing had deliberately brought up the 'Falling Soul Bell,' this secret treasure, to earn Lady Hua's trust and ensure she wouldn't grow suspicious of him. Once he helped Lady Hua escape the Yunu Pavilion, he had a hundred methods to make her obediently divulge the secrets of inter-realm teleportation.

"The Falling Soul Bell is an artifact I obtained from the ruins of Yishen Palace. It bears some resemblance to the Soul-devouring Bell of Phantom Valley. I suspect that the connection between Yishen Palace and Phantom Valley... is quite deep," Xu Xing said in a deep voice, taking the Soul-devouring Bell Taoist Treasure from his sleeve and turning his gaze to Lady Hua, the Phantom Valley Ancestor.

The Soul-devouring Bell Taoist Treasure was an item he had seized from Dao Lord Jiang Yue during the battle between the Immeasurable Sect and Silver Ring Zhai.

And the origin of this Taoist Treasure was Phantom Valley.

At that time, Lady Hua, as the Phantom Valley Ancestor, had supported her ally, Silver Ring Zhai, by lending them her sect's guardian Taoist Treasure.

"The ruins of Yishen Palace?" Lady Hua was startled, momentarily forgetting even to look at her own Soul-devouring Bell Taoist Treasure. "Yishen Palace was destroyed? How is that possible? It was a Primordial Spirit level power, the hegemon of Jin State..."

Hearing this, Xu Xing was skeptical, unsure whether Lady Hua was deliberately concealing the truth or if she genuinely didn't know about the events that had subsequently transpired in the Nanyan Continent.

He hesitated for a moment before recounting the downfall of the various major Daoist Sects in the Nanyan Continent to Lady Hua.

Of course, in his telling, Xu Xing omitted the existence of the Emperor's Son Pavilion and himself. He only said that a hidden power had intervened and wiped out the major Daoist Sects of the Nanyan Continent.

"The Pill Cauldron Sect, Yishen Palace, Jing Water Pavilion... all these Primordial Spirit level powers in the Nanyan Continent have been annihilated..." Lady Hua listened, stunned for a moment, as if a whole world had passed her by.

After a short while, Lady Hua regained her composure, and then she began to examine the Soul-devouring Bell Taoist Treasure and the "Falling Soul Bell" blueprint before her.

"So, the Soul-devouring Bell Taoist Treasure truly is in Daoist Chang's possession..." Lady Hua looked at her lost Taoist Treasure, her gaze tinged with resentment.

The last time she went to Xu Xing's Nascent Soul Creation Grand Ceremony to demand her Taoist Treasure, Xu Xing had evaded the question, claiming the Taoist Treasure was with the fleeing Dao Lord Jiang Yue.

If she had possessed this Soul-devouring Bell Taoist Treasure during her previous tribulations, she might not have ended up selling herself to the Yunu Pavilion today.

The Soul-devouring Bell Taoist Treasure was compatible with her cultivation method. In her hands, it could unleash its greatest power, increasing her combat strength by at least thirty percent.

"It seems Daoist Chang has indeed guessed the relationship between Phantom Valley and Yishen Palace..."

Lady Hua nodded after looking through the "Falling Soul Bell" blueprint.

She said, "A thousand years ago, I was a direct disciple of Yishen Palace. Later... Yishen Palace, intending to invade the North Yue Country, ordered me to covertly replace the high-level members of Phantom Valley..."

Lady Hua revealed the ancient secret between Phantom Valley and Yishen Palace from a thousand years ago.

If this information had been revealed in North Yue Country back then, it would have been absolutely groundbreaking news.

For such a prominent Large Sect in North Yue Country to have its leadership secretly replaced without anyone noticing was utterly preposterous.

But now, this secret was insignificant to Xu Xing and Lady Hua; it was merely a topic for casual conversation between them.
