“Yes!” A nervous expression replaced the smile on Lonemoon’s face as he explained, “The holy place is in a very remote location and is extremely dangerous. Thus it’s not advisable to physically enter it. If Brother Shu trusts me, you can activate your divine perception. I will send you in with this talisman.”

For a short moment, Shu Jiang was undecided; the emotion that flickered across his face spoke of his inner struggle. But after a while, he clenched his teeth and nodded his head. “I believe in Brother Lonemoon, let’s start!” So saying, he got up and moved his chair aside. Then he sat cross-legged on the floor with his eyes closed.

Within moments, an image floated above his body. This was the manifestation of his divine perception.

Smiling, Lonemoon stepped forwards and said, “Take heed, Brother Shu. Although this is a miraculous place, it is also a place filled with mirages. Frightening scenes will appear before you. So don’t linger too long there. If you cannot endure it any longer, just come back.”

Seeing Shu Jiang’s nod, Lonemoon activated the talisman in his and tapped it on the image. Immediately, Shu Jiang’s image vanished from the compartment.

“Where have you sent him?” asked Shen Ying in between chewing her food.

Wearing an innocent look on his face, Lonemoon sat up and poured himself a cup of water. “I’ve sent him to the Invincible Sect.”

“Huh?”

“More accurately, to the foot of the mountain.”

“The foot of the mountain?” repeated Shen Ying. Then looking askance at him, she asked, “What scam did you concoct this time?”

Lonemoon took a sip of water. Then narrowing his eyes into a slit like the eyes of a fox, he rebutted, “What do you mean by scam? I only told him that I had discovered a holy place that could quickly boost a person’s cultivation level. Whether it be his techniques, comprehension, even his mood and divine perception, all these can be boosted.”

“What holy place?” Why hadn’t she heard of this place in Invincible Sect?

“It’s the demonic Qi!” The demonic Qi in the Invincible Sect could indeed stimulate a person’s potential. It would be a waste not to make money out of such a natural place for upgrading one’s cultivation. “I’ve already made inquiries. He’s the most wealthy man in Chong Lan country. More than half the shops in the city belong to him. If we want to develop Invincible Sect into a holy place noted for its high end, classy, fashionable and luxurious cultivation training, we definitely need his help.

“So… after all that hullabaloo, what you sold him was some demonic Qi?” It seemed that there was nothing Father Niu was incapable of selling. No wonder that before the trip, he had led Yu Hong and the other girls to the foot of the mountain where they spent half a day setting up the array formation. It must have been for this purpose?

“I’m marketing a packaging, don’t you understand? Anyway, it’s his divine perception that is entering the place, not his body. There’s no danger of demonic Qi entering his body.”

“Er…” But the demonic Qi was so obvious, wasn’t Lonemoon worried that once this person came out and realized the truth, he would settle scores with him?

“That’s not going to happen!” answered Lonemoon, a cunning smile on his face. It was as if he knew what was on her mind.

As Shen Ying pondered over the matter, the man sitting on the ground suddenly trembled violently and regained consciousness. Going immediately over to him, Lonemoon saw that his face was pale, bloodless and covered in cold sweat.

“Brother Lonemoon, that place…” He grabbed at Lonemoon in a panic, seemingly anxious to say something.

“Brother Shu, don’t panic!” Cutting him off, Lonemoon once again donned the face of a canny businessman. With a merry laugh he said, “The things seen in this holy place varies from person to person, but they are not real. Don’t worry about it. Look inside your divine perception and regulate your breathing first.”

Shu Jiang calmed down at his words. Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and regulated his breathing. Then he began an internal perception scan. The very next moment, his eyes suddenly burst open and with a stunned expression on his face, exclaimed, “Huh? My… divine perception…”

He discovered that his divine perception had actually grown stronger. Although this change was minute, it was a miracle for someone like him who has not seen an increase in his cultivation for thousands of years. The significant point being that he had been inside for less than a quarter of an hour.

Shu Jiang’s face lit up with joy. Seemingly unable to suppress his happiness, he said excitedly, “What Brother Lonemoon told me is indeed true. There is really such an amazing place in this world.”

“I also happened to chance upon this place, the only bad thing about it is that this holy place can create hallucinations in the mind. By the way, what did Brother Shu brother see inside?” asked Lonemoon intentionally.

Seemingly taken aback by his question, Shu Jiang remained silent for a while. Then something flickered across his eyes and he immediately changed the subject, saying, “Nothing much. By the way, does Brother Lonemoon really intend to share this place with other immortals?”
