This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 796 - 58: Blood Spirit Crystal (Please Subscribe)_4

"Then let it be six months," Lu Qingshan had no objection.

Shi Wu Demon Venerable nodded in satisfaction and turned his gaze back to Lu Qingshan.

The next moment, Shi Wu Demon Venerable flicked his finger, and a Jade Box flew towards him.

Lu Qingshan quickly reached out to catch it.

The Jade Box was pitch black and it was impossible to see what was inside.

He looked puzzledly at Shi Wu Demon Venerable.

"What is this?"

"A gift for my son-in-law," said the Shi Wu Demon Venerable with a calm smile.

The item inside the Jade Box was not simple, and in fact, it was extremely precious; moreover, he had not initially planned to give such a gift to Lu Qingshan. freёnovelkiss.com

The reason for the change stemmed from Lu Qingshan’s performance at the military exercise platform that made him reconsider Lu Qingshan differently.

——It wasn’t just Ao Ren Demon Venerable who warranted attention; "Qing Ge" himself also had substantial potential.

His methods were extraordinary, and he was strategically deep, not avoiding stigma, intentionally concealing his capabilities, all for something deeper.

Indeed, he had confirmed that Lu Qingshan purposely played dumb previously to avoid persecution from the direct descendants of Ao Ren Demon Venerable, which explained why he was so different from the image described in the reports.

As for this Qing Ge being different from that Qing Ge...

Why would an ordinary person even think of such things?

And if someone really had been replaced, would Ao Ren Demon Venerable not have noticed? After all, we are speaking about his son.

As for the item inside the Jade Box, it was exactly what "Qing Ge" currently needed most.

This was his investment in "Qing Ge".

The item’s value was such that if it weren’t for his impending demise and the possibility of falling at any moment, without the need to worry too much, he would not casually offer it as a meeting gift to Qing Ge.

"Thank you, Shi Wu Demon Venerable," said Lu Qingshan. As it would be improper to check the contents of the Jade Box on the spot, he could only store the Jade Box within a mustard seed space and then thanked him with a bow.

"Don’t be too courteous with me, as long as you take good care of Mingyue in the future, I will ask for nothing more," Shi Wu Demon Venerable said, waving his hand. "That will be all for today. Mingyue, take Qing Ge to the manor prepared for him."

"Daughter understands," Ying Mingyue said softly.

Lu Qingshan also bowed and then withdrew.

Upon leaving the great hall, Lu Qingshan spoke with a smile, "I’m troubled by your kindness, Miss Mingyue."

Ying Mingyue cast a glance at Lu Qingshan.

Originally, she was quite displeased with Lu Qingshan.

But after the confrontation at the military exercise platform, and especially since Lu Qingshan had just spoken on her behalf, as the saying goes, ’One doesn’t strike the smiling face,’ she couldn’t stay cold to Lu Qingshan at the moment.

So, pursing her lips, she could only say helplessly, "Follow me."

Lu Qingshan expressed neither agreement nor disagreement.

Under Ying Mingyue’s guidance, the two left the Demon Lord’s abode quickly.

The three named Yu Luo who had been waiting outside saw Lu Qingshan appear and hurried forward, "Lord."

Lu Qingshan nodded, then the group followed Ying Mingyue along the main road and departed.

......

Jian Luo King City was divided into the Inner City and the Outer City.

The Demon Lord’s abode was within the Inner City, while the manor prepared for Lu Qingshan was in the Outer City.

Ying Mingyue, saying nothing, led Lu Qingshan and the others towards the Outer City.

The Royal City was immensely large, and since flying was not allowed, it took a long while for the group to walk before a grand manor appeared before everyone.

At the main entrance, several Sixth Grade Demon Cultivators stood guard, looking quite awe-inspiring.

"This is the manor my father has prepared for you. Until we... get married, you will live here temporarily," Mingyue hesitated before her gaze flickered, and eventually, she clenched her teeth and said, "If there is anything you need, you can come find me at Mingyue Manor."

This was almost like an informal invitation.

"I certainly will next time," Lu Qingshan said with a smile.

Ying Mingyue snorted and then said no more, turning directly to leave.

........

Seeing Ying Mingyue leave, Lu Qingshan didn’t mind and slowly walked towards the mansion.

"Greetings, Lord Qing Ge!" The guards at the entrance saluted him one after another.

Lu Qingshan nodded in acknowledgment.

At that moment, an Eighth Grade Demon Cultivator hurriedly walked out from the mansion’s gate.

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan, he smiled broadly, "Lord Qing Ge, I am Zhi Pan, the chief steward of the mansion.

If there’s anything you need, Lord, just tell me from now on. Shall I now show you around the mansion and get you familiar with the environment?"

Lu Qingshan nodded his head and followed the chief steward Zhi Pan into the mansion without a change of expression.

Along the way, other servants respectfully saluted Lu Qingshan.

After being shown around the mansion by the chief steward Zhi Pan, Lu Qingshan used rest as an excuse to dismiss Zhi Pan. He then instructed Yu Luo and the other two, "During this time, try not to go out as much as possible to avoid trouble—Jian Luo King City is not Sen Luo Capital City after all."

"Your subordinates understand." The three responded gravely and then withdrew.

Once everyone had left, Lu Qingshan went back to his room, sat down slowly, and hung his head, seemingly deep in thought.

After a long while, he snapped out of his reverie and slowly exhaled a turbid breath.

At this moment, there was nobody else in the room but him.

In the silence, Lu Qingshan suddenly remembered something.

He quickly took out a jade box from within his mustard seed space.

A gift from Shi Wu Demon Venerable upon their meeting.

He had been curious about the jade box when he received it.

But it wasn’t appropriate to open the jade box and inspect the gift in front of Shi Wu Demon Venerable, so he had delayed it until now.

A meeting gift from a Demon Lord to his son-in-law should surely be nothing simple.

Thinking thus, he slowly opened the jade box.

A bright blood-red light shone into his eyes.

It was an extremely mysterious crystal.

The outer surface of the crystal was transparent, dreamlike and illusory, faint and hazy.

Within the crystal were several blood-red strands, like threads of crystals.

From a distance, those transparent crystal shells were invisible, appearing as if the strands of crystal were floating in mid-air.

Truly magnificent and stunning, a rare beauty in this world.

"This is..." Lu Qingshan’s pupils gradually dilated, unable to help but exclaim, "Blood Spirit Crystal!"

Having crammed on Demon Race knowledge, he recognized the item.

The meeting gift from Shi Wu Demon Venerable turned out to be one of the most precious treasures of the Abyss—the Blood Spirit Crystal!

Such largesse!

This was a supreme treasure of the Abyss, coveted by countless Demonic Cultivators.

It possessed an incredibly miraculous power, capable of helping the Demon Race purify and enhance their own bloodline, thereby increasing their strength.

"Only, this thing is of no use to me." Lu Qingshan muttered—he wasn’t a member of the Demon Race.

Wait a moment...

Just as Lu Qingshan was about to put the Blood Spirit Crystal back into his mustard seed space, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Why wouldn’t it be useful to him?

Information about the Blood Spirit Crystal flooded his mind.

It was indeed a secret treasure capable of helping the Demon Race purify and enhance their own bloodline.

But nobody ever said that it could only enhance the bloodlines of the Demon Race.

So why couldn’t the Human Race use it?
