Chapter 789: Chapter 522: Invitation and Doubt

"Someone wants to see me?"

Lu Qing was initially startled but quickly caught on.

Could it be that someone from the Treasure Tower has finally come?

"Hold on a moment, I’ll be right there."

Lu Qing returned to his room, brought Little Li and the Five Elements with him, and headed to the front of the inn.

Upon reaching the inn’s front hall, he saw several people sitting there waiting.

Among them, one was a familiar enchantress from the Treasure Tower, wearing a short purple robe.

He understood in his heart; it seemed the Treasure Tower had finally responded.

He just didn’t know whether they came with good intentions or bad.

Lu Qing guarded himself silently.

Though he wished to cooperate with the Treasure Tower, it didn’t necessarily mean they felt the same. What if they came to confront him?

So the necessary caution was still needed.

Lu Qing stealthily activated his superpower to examine the few people.

"Master!"

Seeing Lu Qing approaching, the enchantress immediately stood up, her expression slightly excited as she called out.

"Zi Yuan, is this the Golden Core True Man who sold you the Thunder Shock Talisman?"

Master Wang understood immediately upon seeing this, and he too stood up.

"So it’s the esteemed guest of Treasure Tower. May I ask why you are seeking me? Could it be there’s an issue with the Thunder Shock Talisman I sold?"

Lu Qing straightforwardly inquired.

His gaze fell upon Master Wang, with several pieces of information appearing in his field of view.

"A Master of Identification from the Treasure Tower, only a few came, and the highest cultivation is just at the Golden Core Realm."

In other words, they likely came with good intentions."

Lu Qing pondered, feeling a bit more at ease.

Although he didn’t know their exact purpose, it seemed they weren’t here to accuse him.

"Friend, don’t misunderstand. That Thunder Shock Talisman has no issues; it’s a genuine Golden Core Level talisman."

Master Wang quickly said, "We’ve come for another matter."

"Oh? What is it that I can assist you with?" Lu Qing asked.

"We want to know about the origin of the master who crafted the Thunder Shock Talisman.

Moreover, do you know his current whereabouts? We have urgent matters to discuss with him.

Of course, we won’t put you in a difficult position.

Here’s a small gift we’ve prepared from the Treasure Tower; please accept it."

After speaking, Master Wang gestured, and a man looking like an attendant stepped forward with a square brocade box, offering it respectfully to Lu Qing.

"Master?"

Lu Qing keenly noticed Master Wang’s respectful tone and address.

He was moved but did not extend his hand to take the brocade box.

Instead, with an indescribable expression, he asked, "May I know the purpose for seeking the elder who crafted the Thunder Shock Talisman?

That elder has been kind to me, and it would be inappropriate for me to disclose his whereabouts without thought."

Master Wang hesitated slightly, pondering before deciding to speak honestly.

After all, the person before him is a Golden Core Realm expert, and almost everyone who reaches this realm is a talent, not easily deceived.

If he were to deceive deliberately, it might lead to unexpected problems.

"To be honest, our Tower Master saw the Thunder Shock Talisman you sold.

He was amazed by the talisman crafting method demonstrated.

Thus, he wishes to visit the elder personally and seek guidance on talisman making."

"Seek guidance on talisman making?"

Lu Qing was even clearer now, and after probing information from those present, he felt more assured.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Qing suddenly waved his hand, creating an aura that could shield from spying around them.

"Master, you..." the enchantress was startled.

While several attendants behind felt a surge in their aura, immediately becoming vigilant.

Yet, Master Wang remained calm, signaling for everyone to stay calm with a gentle hand gesture.

"Apologies, given your high regard for the Thunder Shock Talisman, it makes me cautious." Lu Qing said with a smile.

"That’s understandable; it was our oversight. But, does this mean you are willing to lead us to visit the elder?" Master Wang

"Not yet. I need to meet with the Tower Master of Treasure Tower to decide whether to take you to see the elder."

Lu Qing did not immediately admit that he crafted the Thunder Shock Talisman but rather posed a request.

Master Wang’s brows furrowed.

He noticed that the person before him was aware of their importance to the Talisman Master.

He wants to negotiate conditions with the Tower Master face to face for benefits.

No wonder he didn’t accept my gift earlier; he was plotting something greater.

Feeling Lu Qing’s greed, Master Wang harbored a slight displeasure.

He wanted to refuse but recalled the Tower Master’s instructions and suppressed his impatience.

With a smile, he said, "That’s fine; our Tower Master has always been eager to find talents. Meeting a talent like you will surely make him happy."

Although cultivators cannot judge age by appearance.

Many ancient beings may prefer to appear as teenagers or even children.

But Master Wang could sense the lively aura from Lu Qing’s Divine Soul.

Indicating his cultivation hasn’t been very long, certainly not exceeding two hundred years.

Among Golden Core Realm experts, he’s considered part of the younger generation.

This kind of expert, even if having condensed a Mid-grade Golden Core, can be deemed a true cultivation genius.
