Lu Qingsong's gaze finally settled on him.

"You, come with me."

His voice wasn't loud, but he pointed directly at Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan lowered his head, responded with a "Yes," and could only leave the square with Lu Qingsong.

Several elders seemed to want to say something, but seeing Lu Qingsong's gloomy face, they ultimately did not dare to speak.

Lu Qingsong walked slowly. He did not take Fang Xuan to the main hall or the Hall of Punishments.

Instead, we headed towards the back of the main peak, into a quiet and secluded corridor.

Fang Xuan followed silently behind, his right hand hidden in his sleeve, his fingers holding a jade pendant.

His life-saving item can instantly connect him to a protector of the Fang family, who is at least at the Nascent Soul stage.

If he crushes it, he can be fished out in a moment.

This is one of his biggest trump cards.

If Lu Qingsong were to disregard his reputation and attempt a soul search or even kill him, then he would have no choice but to flip the table.

However, judging from Lu Qingsong's posture, he doesn't seem to be about to make a move immediately.

.......

The corridor meanders along the sides, lined with meticulously tended spiritual plants, exuding an ethereal aura.

Lu Qingsong suddenly stopped, but did not turn around. He spoke in a low voice:

"This secret realm was extremely dangerous, resulting in the loss of dozens of talents from my Qingyun Sect... especially my Xuan'er."

Fang Xuan kept his head down and didn't reply, quickly analyzing the situation in his mind.

Is this an attempt to play the emotional card? Or a preemptive strike?

"I have reviewed the list of all the disciples who entered the secret realm, as well as their approximate cultivation levels."

Lu Qingsong slowly turned around, his eyes, which contained the pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator, staring directly at Fang Xuan, as if trying to see through him from the inside out.

However, he did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he looked away and gazed at the vast, misty Linghu Lake outside the corridor.

He was certain it couldn't be Fang Xuan.

Regardless of whether Fang Xuan has the ability, he had repeatedly instructed Xuan'er before.

Once inside the secret realm, be sure to stay away from Fang Xuan.

Xuan'er always listened to him the most.

Those he selected and brought in all had clean backgrounds and decent talent. Now that they are all dead, it means that someone else must have entered that place.

He considered everyone who had entered the secret realm, and only one person could be a suspect...

Without hiding anything, he needed Fang Xuan now, so he spoke directly: "Xuan'er's death was caused by Wu Hao, the grandson of the Supreme Elder Wu Qingyuan!"

"That old bastard was always against me and tried to stop me from taking the throne! Now his grandson has also entered the secret realm and is at the same Void Core cultivation level. He must have some life-saving and tracking items given to him by that old codger."

"It was he who secretly followed Xuan'er, and at the last moment, he struck a ruthless blow, stealing the opportunity and causing Xuan'er's death!"

Fang Xuan: "......."

This way of shifting blame was perfect; he almost wanted to applaud Lu Qingsong.

The grandson of the Supreme Elder, this pot is so big and round, it's perfect for carrying.

......

Lu Qingsong's gaze returned to Fang Xuan, his Nascent Soul stage aura slightly diminished, replaced by an attitude of "I have high hopes for you."

"I need someone to confirm this, and then... to resolve this hidden danger."

"Fang Xuan, you have exceptional talent, how can you be content to spend your whole life in that wretched place, Sword Peak?"

He took a small step forward: "I can support you with resources, status, cultivation techniques... and even the future position of the young sect master of the Qingyun Sect is not out of the question."

"And Wu Hao, he is the only obstacle to your becoming the young sect leader."

At this point, Fang Xuan naturally understood what he meant.

See the picture poorly.

This is to use him as a weapon to kill the grandson of the Supreme Elder, and at the same time completely bind him to their own chariot.

They painted a very grand picture, but unfortunately, it was laced with poison.

Killing Wu Hao would immediately make him Wu Qingyuan's mortal enemy.

Whether Lu Qingsong will protect him or sacrifice him to save the king is hard to say.

However, this is also a good opportunity to betray the Qingyun Sect.

.......

Fang Xuan bowed respectfully: "I am deeply grateful for the Sect Master's kindness, but... I'm afraid my master, Peak Master Shen, will..."

Lu Qingsong scoffed, his face full of disdain, and said angrily, "Shen Chen? Hmph, just a piece of trash who has been stuck in the Golden Core stage for many years, relying on his ancestors' legacy!"

"If it weren't for his past hardships, the position of Sword Peak Master should have been changed long ago. Who does he think he is, daring to object to my decisions?"

He stared at Fang Xuan, his tone growing more forceful: "As long as you handle this matter well for me, Shen Chen is nothing to worry about. I will make sure he behaves himself!"

The implication in those words is quite obvious.

Fang Xuan lowered his head at the opportune moment, as if he had been persuaded.

Lu Qingsong said no more, turned around and continued forward, leading Fang Xuan through the corridor to a courtyard on the edge of the spirit lake that was heavily sealed off by restrictions.

Pushing open the courtyard gate, one finds the air filled with a misty, spiritual energy, and in the center, a pool continuously spewing forth a spiritual spring.

Lu Qingsong walked to a stone platform by the pool, took out a small box made of cold jade, and opened it.

Inside the box lay a pill that was entirely crimson, with flowing cloud patterns on its surface, emitting a wonderfully fragrant aroma.

Just smelling it is enough to invigorate you and make your blood and energy subtly stir.

"This is the Crimson Sun Soul Tempering Pill, a pseudo-heavenly-grade pill."

Lu Qingsong pushed the jade box toward Fang Xuan and said, "Its effects can cleanse one's bones and improve one's aptitude. It is especially effective for yang-type martial arts, and can greatly enhance the burst of spiritual power and the strength of the physical body."

Fang Xuan's gaze narrowed slightly. A pseudo-heavenly rank? This is indeed a grand gesture.

Lu Qingsong continued calmly, "The reason it's a pseudo-heavenly rank is simply because it has one side effect."

"This elixir is extremely yang in nature. After taking it, the yang fire in the body will be permanently raised to a level far beyond that of ordinary people."

"Excessive yang fire will constantly fuel lust, making one easily infatuated with beauty, hindering cultivation, and continuously nourishing inner demons, shaking one's resolve. Many with weak wills fail here, ultimately indulging in desires and making it difficult to advance in cultivation."

He paused, observing Fang Xuan's reaction: "Of course, you can also choose not to. The path of cultivation values ​​purity. Abandoning worldly desires and focusing on the Great Dao is the right way."

Fang Xuan listened to these words.

...Side effects? Excessive yang energy? Increased lust? Inner demons?

Is there such a good thing?

It can increase combat power at the same time.

Moreover, he felt that not only would inner demons not arise, but they could also help him overcome them.

If I encounter that demonic senior sister again, I'll drag her to bed seven times in one night...

He immediately switched from defense to offense.

Let alone seven times a night, seventy times... that's not out of the question.

Dao Heart? What is Dao Heart? Fang Xuan felt he had figured it out.

To live is to pursue various desires.

Appetite is my senior sister's food.

Lust is directed at my senior sister's legs and face.

Lust is about being close to your senior sister...

Therefore, for the sake of pursuing a higher level of enlightenment, this elixir was practically a super supplement tailor-made for him.
