Chapter 1806 - 508: Lu Changsheng Becomes Famous in One Battle, Qi Fortune Soars!

Lu Changsheng's sixty thousand Source Crystals, plus the prize money he received which was fifty thousand Source Crystals, now total one hundred and ten thousand Source Crystals on his person.

However, Lu Changsheng is currently more concerned with something other than Source Crystals.

That is Qi Fortune.

As soon as Lu Changsheng returned to his Cave Mansion, he went directly to the meditation chamber.

He remained motionless, sensing the growth of his Qi Fortune.

As time passed, Lu Changsheng's Qi Fortune gradually climbed to its peak.

But after reaching the peak, it gradually declined, eventually becoming calm.

This duration was roughly about three months.

After three months, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.

He immediately called up the attribute panel to check his current situation.

Host: Lu Changsheng

Comprehension: Top-level comprehension

Realm Master: First Realm

True Realm: 100% (One hundred and fifteen expansions)

Soul: 10% (Incomplete)

Lu Changsheng stared closely, noting the progress of his soul had increased to 10%, whereas previously it was 9%, seemingly a 1% improvement.

Do not underestimate this 1% increase.

Typically, it's impossible for an average person to achieve a 1% increase.

Yet Lu Changsheng managed to enhance by 1% in just three months, without using any special soul frequency.

It was natural growth.

Or rather, it relied on Qi Fortune!

"Indeed, Qi Fortune can enhance the soul."

"I merely won one battle, and my soul increased by 1%. If I continue to win, the more Qi Fortune I obtain, the stronger my soul will naturally become."

"No wonder even hegemonic forces are tempted by the Cosmic Peak. Many Transcenders, who lack better means to enhance their soul strength, choose to battle at the Cosmic Peak, utilizing its massive Qi Fortune to strengthen their souls and subsequently advance to the Second Realm or even the Third Realm."

Of course, reaching the Third Realm is not so easy.

It's far more complex than merely Qi Fortune and soul.

However, the ability of the Cosmic Peak to help Transcenders advance to the Second Realm is certainly not an empty promise.

There were many Transcenders at the Cosmic Peak whose Qi Fortune allowed them to advance to the Second Realm.

"It's seven months until the second battle."

"I wonder who will challenge me?"

Lu Changsheng now also quietly anticipates "defending the arena."

After all, who wouldn't want such immense Qi Fortune?

...

At the Ancient Chamber of Commerce, a formidable figure of the Second Realm stands respectfully before a tall man.

"Your Majesty, the Qinglian Treasure Lamp is missing, and five Realm Masters have been slain, including Gu Sang. The Qinglian Treasure Lamp is likely in the hands of that person, but after investigating for so long, we've found nothing. Therefore, we request Your Majesty to deduce the whereabouts of the Qinglian Treasure Lamp."

This is the vice president of the Ancient Chamber of Commerce, a peak Second Realm Transcender.

The Qinglian Treasure Lamp is of paramount importance, with the Ancient Chamber of Commerce investing vast resources but still unable to find it.

Even five Realm Masters have died.

This matter is significant, and without finding the Qinglian Treasure Lamp, only a Third Realm master can deduce it.

Although a Third Realm master cannot claim omniscience and omnipotence.

They have virtually no weaknesses.

When deducing such things, once a Third Realm master intervenes, there will surely be results.

As long as the Qinglian Treasure Lamp is still within the Great Universe, a Third Realm master can deduce its location.

Nevertheless, in usual circumstances, the Ancient Chamber of Commerce would not disturb the master.

But now, with no other options, they can only request the master's intervention.

The master furrowed his brow slightly.

He began deducing.

The Qinglian Treasure Lamp is a significant treasure of the Ancient Chamber of Commerce; it couldn't just vanish without reason.

Following the master's deduction.

A moment later, the master stopped.

"Cosmic Peak, Lu Changsheng. The Qinglian Treasure Lamp is likely with Lu Changsheng."

"However, this Lu Changsheng is a direct disciple of Flying Dragon and holds considerable importance. You must retrieve the Qinglian Treasure Lamp openly; otherwise, Flying Dragon might intervene, and it wouldn't look good for us." Do you understand?"

The vice president's heart tightened.

How did it become entangled with the Flying Dragon master?

But the master's words couldn't be wrong.

He could only respectfully reply, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will bear it in mind."

"Alright, you may go."

Thus, the vice president departed.

He immediately sent someone to investigate Lu Changsheng at the Cosmic Peak.

Soon, the information was sent over.

All the details about Lu Changsheng were within the data.

For instance, Lu Changsheng is currently the Realm Master of the Eternal Light Commerce.

This isn't a big deal.

Just another ordinary Realm Master of the Eternal Light Commerce.

But the key is that Lu Changsheng is also the direct disciple of the Flying Dragon master.

He is now participating in the Cosmic Peak and has successfully defeated an Arena Master of "Main General" level, starting his "arena defending."

Every move he makes captures public attention.

Secretly retrieving the Qinglian Treasure Lamp is already impossible for the Ancient Chamber of Commerce.

Then, how to recover the Qinglian Treasure Lamp?

It's troubling.

The vice president feels deeply troubled.

"So be it. Involving a master's affairs, I should go personally."

The vice president gritted his teeth and made the decision.

For such a matter, he must go personally.

...

Time has flown, nearly a year has passed since the last battle with Mo Wen.

Soon it will be time for Lu Changsheng's arena defense battle.

On this day, Lu Changsheng is adjusting his state in his Cave Mansion.

In the meantime, he sends Lin Qingluan and Fang Chuan to inquire who might challenge him.

"Hmm?"

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.

He saw Fang Chuan and Lin Qingluan returning to the Cave Mansion.

Moreover, Fang Chuan was accompanied by an unfamiliar man.

The aura from the man… Second Realm!

This is clearly a cultivator of the Second Realm!

"Brother Fang, and this is…"

Seeing Fang Chuan, Lu Changsheng inquired.

Fang Chuan glanced at Lu Changsheng and then explained, "Brother Lu, this is Taoist Friend Tong Tianlin, the vice president of the Ancient Chamber of Commerce."

"Ancient Chamber of Commerce?"

Lu Changsheng thought thoughtfully.

He immediately thought of the Qinglian Treasure Lamp.

This Qinglian Treasure Lamp belongs to the Ancient Chamber of Commerce, yet due to various reasons, it ended up in Lu Changsheng's possession.

Lu Changsheng knew the Ancient Chamber of Commerce would come looking sooner or later, but he hadn't expected them to find him so quickly.

All told, it's only been a year.

Tong Tianlin's eyes narrowed slightly, smiling as he said, "Is this Taoist Friend Lu? Truly a remarkable disciple of the Flying Dragon master."

"This time, I come on behalf of the Ancient Chamber of Commerce, hoping Taoist Friend Lu can return the Qinglian Treasure Lamp to our Ancient Chamber of Commerce. We would be immensely grateful and wish to offer Taoist Friend Lu one million Source Crystals in appreciation!"

Tong Tianlin's words sent a shock through Lu Changsheng's heart.

A million Source Crystals!

This is truly a grand gesture.

It's no surprise that the Ancient Chamber of Commerce is rich and powerful.

One million Source Crystals are enough for Lu Changsheng to expand his True Realm ten times.

However, compared to the Qinglian Treasure Lamp, this million Source Crystals are actually not that significant.

With the Qinglian Treasure Lamp, Lu Changsheng can expand his True Realm more than just ten times.

For a Realm Master, the Qinglian Treasure Lamp is a priceless treasure!

Lu Changsheng knows denial won't work.

If they were able to find him, it means they are certain the Qinglian Treasure Lamp is in his possession.

But their reluctance to seize it outright shows their fear of Flying Dragon Mountain.

Lu Changsheng also has some assurance.

Thus, Lu Changsheng's eyes slightly narrowed and he calmly said, "Taoist friend Tong, do you know why the Qinglian Treasure Lamp is in Brother Lu's possession?"

"I do not know."

Tong Tianlin truly didn't know.

In his view, Lu Changsheng likely obtained it through killing and looting.

After all, five Realm Masters have died.

Dead men tell no tales.

Lu Changsheng continued, "Your commerce's five Realm Masters encountered me on the road. Initially, to avoid trouble, I had bypassed your commerce's five Realm Masters, but unfortunately, they believed I had seen something and insisted on silencing me."

"In self-defense, I had no choice but to retaliate. Consequently, I obtained the Qinglian Treasure Lamp from Gu Sang's Inner World."

"No matter where you look, Brother Lu holds the 'reason'."

"Therefore, the Qinglian Treasure Lamp naturally counts as Brother Lu's spoils of war. What say you, President Tong?"

As Lu Changsheng's words fell, the atmosphere in the Cave Mansion immediately became tense.
