I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God

Chapter 77

Qingshan Gate.

"Master."

Luo Lanxue respectfully came before Master Lu Qingshan and softly said, "The number one alchemist in South Sha, Master Lu DaSheng, has come to our Qingshan Gate."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan immediately sat up straight, excitedly saying, "Master Lu is here? Why didn't you notify me sooner?"

"I saw that Master was in secluded meditation so I didn't want to disturb you." Luo Lanxue explained.

"Alright, where is Master Lu? I will go meet with him."

Having said that, Lu Qingshan promptly got up, his expression becoming much more solemn.

He didn't dare to be negligent towards Lu DaSheng.

As the number one alchemist in South Sha, although he was just a wandering cultivator, he had unmatched prestige. Even the major sects and influential families of South Sha would treat him with the utmost courtesy.

So having someone like this come to his Qingshan Gate was undoubtedly like having a great virtuous monk visit.

"Lu Qingshan, pays respects to Master Lu."

Outside the door, Lu Qingshan respectfully bowed down and spoke towards the room.

The door quietly opened.

"Please come in!" A hoarse voice came from inside.

Lu Qingshan entered. Inside, sitting on a mat was an old man dressed in gray robes. The old man had a narrow face and sharp mouth, his entire body exuding a gloomy aura.

"Qingshan Gate, putting on such arrogance!" Lu DaSheng slowly raised his head and looked at Lu Qingshan, speaking heavily, "Making me, Lu DaSheng, wait here for half a month before you came out of seclusion. How impressive."

These mocking words caused Lu Qingshan's expression to slightly change. He hurriedly explained, "Master Lu, don't misunderstand. I truly did not know of your arrival. Please forgive my negligence in receiving you."

"Forget it."

Lu DaSheng waved his hand and solemnly said, "Let's skip the superficialities. My purpose in coming here is only one thing. Recently I need to concoct a fifth grade medicinal pill for a certain Martial Emperor powerhouse in South Sha, but I need to borrow your Qingshan Gate's Flame Pearl to do so."

"Flame Pearl?"

Lu Qingshan's expression shifted.

"I can promise you that as long as you are willing to lend me the Flame Pearl, not only will I owe you a favor, but that Martial Emperor will also owe you a favor. This is a rare opportunity!" Lu DaSheng looked at Lu Qingshan and slowly said.

But Lu Qingshan's expression only grew more difficult. Bowing his head he said, "To be honest with Master Lu, your conditions are indeed generous, but the Flame Pearl is not currently at Qingshan Gate. I have already gifted it away."

"What?"

Lu DaSheng's gaze sank. "Lu Qingshan, are you playing with me? The Flame Pearl is your Qingshan Gate's guardian treasure. Yet you tell me you've given it away?"

"Master Lu, it is true."

Lu Qingshan hurriedly explained.

"Hmph, I don't care whether it's true or false. I'll give you seven days to get the Flame Pearl for me. Even if you really did give it away, you must take it back for me." Lu DaSheng said uncompromisingly.

Lu Qingshan's expression was very awkward.

That Flame Pearl had been gifted to Yi Feng. How could he brazenly ask for it back now that it was in the hands of the benefactor?

And causing dissatisfaction with the benefactor over a small thing like this would be the bigger trouble.

"Oh?"

Lu DaSheng raised his brow.

"Master, I'm afraid this really cannot be done." Lu Qingshan said with a difficult expression. "If there is any other request, I will satisfy Master Lu. But please reconsider this matter."

Lu DaSheng narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lu Qingshan, slowly saying, "Suddenly I'm very curious who exactly you gifted this Flame Pearl to that makes you so wary."

"This..."

Lu Qingshan forced a smile. His words were full of respect as he said, "That sir is not someone I, Lu Qingshan, can casually judge. But he is my life's benefactor, and the savior of my entire Qingshan Gate."

"Oh?"

A look of mockery flashed in Lu DaSheng's eyes as he slowly said, "Since you speak so mystically of this person, it makes me, Lu DaSheng, also eager to pay this sir a visit and see if he really is as amazing as you say."

"Master Lu, I'm afraid that would be inappropriate. That sir entered the mortal world only to experience ordinary life, so he does not like disturbances." Lu Qingshan hurriedly explained.

"Speaking like that, it seems I must meet him whether I want to or not."

Lu DaSheng raised the corners of his mouth. At the same time, the nearby table instantly turned to dust. A powerful pressure bore down upon Lu Qingshan.

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan gritted his teeth as beads of cold sweat emerged on his forehead, yet still persisted, "Master Lu, it really cannot be done."

"Hmph!"

Lu DaSheng was furious. In a flash he left the room and instantly arrived beside Luo Lanxue who was waiting outside. His terrifying aura enveloped them as his claw-like hand tightly gripped Luo Lanxue's neck.

Lu Qingshan, who had rushed over, cried out, "Stop!"

"Hehe." Lu DaSheng coldly laughed. "Then let me ask, are you going to take me to meet this so-called sir of yours or not?"

For a time, Lu Qingshan was caught in a dilemma.

"Hm?" Lu DaSheng's grip grew tighter by two measures as he heavily said, "Rest assured, I only want to get the Flame Pearl from him. I have no other intentions."

"Alright, alright!"

Seeing Luo Lanxue's breathing growing more strenuous, Lu Qingshan could only lower his head.

"Since it's settled, after I finish up my matters here, in five days you will take me to meet him." Lu DaSheng coldly laughed once more before finally releasing his hold on Luo Lanxue.

Lu Qingshan nodded, his expression unsightly.

He was filled with helplessness.

He only hoped the benefactor would not blame him for bringing people to disturb the tranquility!
