Chapter 160: Golden Quality Peach Blossom Talisman

While brushing off Leng Li, who was questioning why he didn't kill Qin Hao, a notification sound of rewards arriving rang in Qin Xuan's mind.

【The Child of Luck, Qin Hao, has undergone deep darkening, seizing the host's credit for slaying the Giant Crocodile Saint, deceiving everyone in the Qin Princes Mansion, and showing no remorse. His Luck value has decreased by 100,000 points. The host is rewarded with +100,000 Villain Points!】

【The Child of Luck, Qin Hao's Luck value has dropped significantly, triggering an additional reward. The host is rewarded with 1 Golden Peach Blossom Talisman!】

Holy crap!

Even Qin Xuan was slightly stunned upon hearing such a massive reward.

Can this even happen?

He was keeping the Child of Luck in captivity, causing Qin Hao to darken, and he was just spouting nonsense to act cool.

The System provided 100,000 Villain Points in one go?

Even when he wasn't present, the rewards were still counted.

This damn System is really generous!

Back and forth, his current Villain Point balance had reached 1,386,666 points.

Never mind the 800,000 Villain Points required to Cultivate the Phoenix Treasure Technique to Major Achievement.

Even the 1,000,000 Villain Points needed to Cultivate the True Dragon Precious Technique from Major Achievement to Perfection were more than enough.

"It's time to find a place and Cultivate the precious techniques to Perfection first."

As Qin Xuan muttered to himself, he took out that golden Peach Blossom Talisman.

There was a clickable '+' sign below it, which Qin Xuan tapped lightly.

【Golden Peach Blossom Talisman: Crush this talisman to reward the host with golden-level romantic Luck. A one-time use Talismanic Incantation of extraordinary quality.】

"So I hit the jackpot."

"Romantic Luck isn't important; what's important is the golden level. I'd like to see what kind of woman is worthy of golden quality!"

Without a second thought, Qin Xuan decisively crushed the golden Peach Blossom Talisman.

The moment the Talismanic Incantation shattered, a golden thread, visible only to Qin Xuan, stretched out for ten thousand miles.

Swoosh!

Qin Xuan activated the ancient prison-suppressing tower and pursued it at high speed.

Leng Li kindly reminded him, "Aren't you going to search for the True Phoenix Nest? That's the opposite direction."

"The emperor isn't anxious, but the eunuch is; I have urgent matters!"

"Heh, something that makes you so impatient probably has to do with some stunning beauty again, right?"

"You... you really are a talent!"

Qin Xuan wanted to refute this, but the direction guided by the romantic Luck was inevitably a woman, and one the System deemed to be of golden quality.

He could only say that after spending so much time with Leng Li, this great Devil Head had practically become a worm in his stomach.

— —

Outside a celestial pool shrouded in white mist, the ancient prison-suppressing tower spun around, shrinking to the size of an ant, and landed on the ground, no larger than a grain of sand.

Inside the small tower, Leng Li could clearly see the scene outside.

Watching the group of experts by the celestial pool, she exclaimed, "Two Saint King Realm experts, six at the Peak of the Saint Realm! What a grand gesture. Apart from the Ziyang Imperial Family, I fear no one else could mobilize these two Old Eunuch dogs."

Qin Xuan chuckled, "I don't see the Third Prince; I'm afraid these are just a portion of the experts by his side."

"This Ziyang Imperial Family is truly terrifyingly vast!" Even someone as strong as Leng Li exclaimed, "A single prince can actually mobilize no fewer than a handful of Saint King Realm experts."

You must know, even the Yaochi Sacred Land only has ten Saint Kings.

Yet within the Ziyang Imperial Family, a single prince could almost mobilize half of a Holy Land's strongest combat power.

How fierce is that?

Qin Xuan shook his head, "That's not quite so exaggerated. Saint King Realm experts aren't cabbages. Power struggles inevitably come with conflicts between interest groups. Aside from the core imperial family supporting the Crown Prince, most peripheral members or those who aren't on good terms with the Crown Prince will curry favor with the princes they value."

"It's all for the sake of profit. If the Third Prince can't take out the Crown Prince, these Saint King Realm experts will leave faster than anyone."

Leng Li nodded, "What do you want to do?"

Qin Xuan withdrew his gaze and looked with interest at Leng Li's bewitching appearance with white hair and red eyes, especially staring at her soul, which had almost condensed into a solid form, and asked subconsciously, "Can a soul do it too?"

On Leng Li's usually cold and beautiful face, there was a slight look of astonishment, and two faint red blushes appeared.

She snapped, "What kind of nonsense are you thinking about? I meant, what exactly are you trying to do? You wouldn't be planning to go to war with the Ziyang Imperial Family that entered the Land of Fallen Emperors just for a woman, would you?"

Qin Xuan continued to stare at the outside world and said indifferently, "Let's watch first!"

Outside the ancient prison-suppressing tower, the pale, beardless Old Eunuch moved the horsetail whisk in his hand to his left arm and said in a sharp voice, "They say the Seven Pearls of Mingyue are of one mind, sharing honor and disgrace. I do not wish to be enemies with the Seven Pearls of Mingyue, but the Third Prince is determined to obtain these Heaven-Swallowing Carps. Young lady, do not make things difficult for me."

Little Koi, the seventh member of the Seven Pearls of Mingyue, wore a colorful neon dress with gold as the main tone. Her slender, delicate body was like a willow swaying in the wind; it seemed as if a gust of wind could blow the frail girl away.

She was petite and lacked the exaggerated bust of Luo Xinyi and Shangguan Ying.

She also lacked the plump, mature charm of Mu Qingxue and Scarlet Thorn.

All she had was a pure face, devoid of makeup, yet clear enough to purify the soul.

Petite and exquisite, on her palm-sized face, the most unignorable feature was that pair of pure, watery eyes.

It seemed that just one look was enough to make the irritation and malice in one's heart dissipate.

It was so pure, sweet, and incredible.

Little Koi held a black earthen jar in her arms, inside which swam a mere few dozen small carp.

She cherished them in her embrace and pleaded with the Old Eunuch, "Eunuch, these little carp haven't offended you here, nor have they offended the Third Prince. That talk of Luck is hollow and powerless. Who can prove that these Heaven-Swallowing Carps can really be refined into Luck Pills?"

"These are all rumors. If these Heaven-Swallowing Carps truly had enough Luck, they wouldn't be hunted by you, would they?"

The Old Eunuch lowered his voice, "Hand over the Heaven-Swallowing Carps; do not make things difficult for me."

This time, the Third Prince's most important task in entering the Land of Fallen Emperors was to obtain these Heaven-Swallowing Carps.

It is rumored that the Heaven-Swallowing Carps have long-lasting Luck, and if one can hire a Saint King Realm Alchemist to refine them into Luck Pills, consuming them would grant immense Luck and have the effect of Heaven-Defyingly changing one's fate.

If he couldn't bring back the Heaven-Swallowing Carps, let alone the Third Prince, even the experts who had bet on the Third Prince would tear him to pieces!

Little Koi hugged the jar in her hands tightly and shook her head, "I cannot hand them over to you. Otherwise, they will definitely be refined into Luck Pills. They don't deserve to die!"

"This place is remote. Since you keep pushing, then go to hell!"

The Old Eunuch swung his horsetail whisk, and thousands of white threads, like sharp blades and steel knives, transformed into a sky full of flowing hair, stabbing towards Little Koi like a rain of pear blossoms.

Little Koi turned around in terror and ran wildly.

Behind her, a swing of the horsetail whisk caused the hundred-mile-long celestial pool to instantly shatter into dust.

"Where are you running!"

Another old man carrying a black saber roared, his Saber Intent surging like waves hitting the sky.

Running ahead, Little Koi felt a heavy blow to her chest, let out a muffled groan, and then fell straight to the ground.

Before she could even land, the sky full of white threads came sweeping towards her back, inescapable and overwhelming.

Little Koi looked back, watching the two Saint King Realm experts approach.

She lowered her eyes, looking at the dozens of little carp in the jar, and murmured bitterly in her heart, "I'm sorry, Grandpa, Xiao Qi cannot protect the little sisters."

She closed her pure, watery eyes, and clear tears slid from the corners of her eyes, "I'm sorry, sisters, I shouldn't have left without saying goodbye. This time, I'm afraid it's a final farewell."

Just as Little Koi was in despair, a warm, solid, and powerful palm grabbed her fair, slender little hand.
