"It truly is the Taiyin Star." The City Lord was right in front of her, yet her voice seemed to come from a distant place. She asked, "How did you do it?"
Li Shuang's heart tightened.
The method of choosing the Taiyin Star as her source star was deduced by the Heaven and Earth Furnace based on her cultivation technique.
The power of the Heaven and Earth Furnace was too mysterious, and Li Shuang couldn't see its limits at all.
The Furnace could deduce it, but that didn't mean others could.
This was a highly valuable piece of information.
Li Shuang slowly said, "My ability to choose the Taiyin Star as my source star involved a certain element of serendipity, but also some personal insights."
She then stopped speaking.
The City Lord looked at her, not annoyed at all. She smiled, "What do you want?"
Li Shuang said without hesitation, "The City Lord must already know about today's events. I dare not be greedy; I only ask that the City Lord protect me and make those outside retreat in the face of difficulty."
The City Lord neither confirmed nor denied, "Actually, joining a super sect is also a shortcut. If you're worried they'll seize your Supreme Spiritual Root, I can help you delay for another year. After another year, your newly formed Supreme Spiritual Root will have passed its three-year period, and then no one will be able to seize it."
Li Shuang's heart tightened slightly.
The City Lord actually knew about her Supreme Spiritual Root.
Moreover, she even stated the exact timeframe.
The City Lord smiled, "Those scoundrels in the Soul Prison often think about escaping. I inevitably have to pay more attention. Don't worry, I myself possess a Supreme Spiritual Root, and I'm not interested in yours."
Li Shuang's mind raced.
So that meant.
Two years ago, the City Lord already knew that she possessed a Supreme Ice Spiritual Root.
Over the past two years, this City Lord had indeed made no moves against her.
Her claim of disinterest was credible.
Li Shuang respectfully said, "What kind of person is the City Lord, to care about a mere spiritual root? However, I truly have no intention of joining any other sect."
The City Lord raised an eyebrow, "Is it because you are in the Southern Orchid Continent and it's inconvenient to come here?"
Li Shuang's heart involuntarily clenched.
This City Lord knew she was from the Southern Orchid Continent?
The City Lord smiled, "Don't worry, only I know about this matter. Besides you, there are also people from other continents in Myriad Law City, which is not uncommon. If you are concerned about this, I can give you a cross-continental teleportation talisman, allowing you to reach the Central Continent instantly."
Li Shuang couldn't help but gasp.
She had heard of thousand-mile teleportation talismans, ten-thousand-mile teleportation talismans...
But a cross-continental teleportation talisman!
One must know.
This world was incredibly vast, and the endless sea in the middle was almost boundless.
A teleportation talisman that could directly transport one to the Central Continent, one could imagine how precious it was.
However, Li Shuang was only surprised for a moment before calmly saying, "Not for now. I really like my sect, and I have no intention of leaving at the moment."
The City Lord looked at Li Shuang for a while and then smiled.
A hint of admiration flickered in her eyes.
Someone who values emotions is always more trustworthy than someone who only cares about profit.
"Since that's the case, I won't force you. I will open up some additional resources for you, including cross-continental teleportation talismans. If you change your mind in the future, you can purchase them with points."
The City Lord's calm voice rang out, "Furthermore. I agree to your request. In this Myriad Law City, no one can force you."
A hint of joy flashed in Li Shuang's eyes, "Thank you, City Lord! As for the method of locking onto the Taiyin Star, my discovery of it was actually a coincidence."
The City Lord listened attentively.
"First, you need a seventh-grade treasure, the Star Fruit. The Star Fruit allows cultivators to briefly possess star power, reducing conflict with the Taiyin Star. Second, you need a Soul Stabilizing Pill, which can stabilize the soul."
The City Lord frowned, "I have also tried both of these. Although they have some effect, they cannot lock onto the Taiyin Star."
Li Shuang said, "The last item... is the Ninth-Grade Green Lotus. You need to use the power of the Ninth-Grade Green Lotus to purify the Taiyin starlight. With these three combined, plus a bit of serendipity, there is a slight chance of locking onto the Taiyin Star."
"Ninth-Grade Green Lotus..." The City Lord was stunned, she murmured, "It's actually the Ninth-Grade Green Lotus."
The Star Fruit and Soul Stabilizing Pill were entirely within her expectations; she had even tried them herself.
But each time, she couldn't escape failure.
So it turned out...
She was missing the most crucial item: the Ninth-Grade Green Lotus.
The City Lord suddenly looked at Li Shuang.
The only Ninth-Grade Green Lotus in this world existed in the Langya Secret Realm, and it had already been obtained by Li.
Although the method was known, this matter was now difficult to replicate.
In this world, only the person in front of her could draw upon the Taiyin starlight.
The City Lord couldn't help but recall that night two years ago.
On that night, the Taiyin Star suddenly became turbulent.
At that time, it must have been this Li who was drawing upon the Taiyin starlight.
"The three treasures are indispensable. In this world, only you can accomplish this." The City Lord looked at Li Shuang, "Your progress is very fast; you have already cultivated to the second stage. Besides your connection to the Taiyin Star, your talent in cultivating the Reincarnation Art is also extraordinary."
Li Shuang humbly replied, "The City Lord overpraises me."
The City Lord's eyes flickered. Suddenly, she took out three purple crystals. She waved her hand, and the crystals floated directly in front of Li Shuang.
"These three purple crystals are Thunder Marrows personally refined by me. If you crush one, you can ask me to do something within my power. With these three Thunder Marrows, I grant you three requests," the City Lord slowly said.
Li Shuang's pupils suddenly constricted.
She looked at the City Lord with some disbelief.
She had revealed the method, and the City Lord was protecting her in Myriad Law City. She thought their cooperation was complete.
Who would have thought.
The City Lord actually granted her three more requests.
The value of three requests from such a peerless expert was truly immeasurable.
Li Shuang stood rooted to the spot, not daring to accept them.
She found no malice in this City Lord.
Lili also looked quite content, with no unusual reactions.
This was one of the reasons she trusted the City Lord more.
But that didn't mean she dared to accept such a heavy gift.
"Of course. I also have something I seek," the City Lord slowly said, "What I want is not your present, but your future. Li, if you can cultivate the Reincarnation Art to its peak in the future, I want you to do one thing for me."
Her request was quite lenient.
For Li Shuang to cultivate the Reincarnation Art to its peak, who knew how long that would take.
What if the Reincarnation Art never reached its peak?
Then she would have gained the benefits for free.
But Li Shuang still didn't move.
She looked up and asked, "Will it go against the righteous path?"
