"Hm?"
Hearing the voice in his mind, Li Xun's face lit up with joy.
What luck was this?
He hadn't even found Liu Sandao yet, but he had already discovered an investable person.
And the reward was ten years of cultivation!
Previously, when he invested in Lu Changhe, he had received a reward of twenty years of cultivation, which had nearly propelled him to the Spirit Meridian stage.
Although this time the reward was less, it would likely be enough to push him to the mid or even late Spirit Meridian stage.
"The mission to hunt Liu Sandao has a month left, so there's no rush. I might as well find the white-grade investable person the system just mentioned first."
Li Xun descended with the Royal Spirit Boat, spreading his spiritual sense to cover an area of over a thousand meters.
With his prior investment experiences, he had gained some understanding of the system's capabilities.
Generally, when the system indicated the presence of an investable person, the person was within three thousand meters.
This meant that the investable individual mentioned just now was within that range.
Li Xun guessed that this detection range could increase in the future, but how much it would improve required more experimentation.
Time slowly passed…
About fifteen minutes later…
"This...?"
Inside the Royal Spirit Boat, Li Xun's voice sounded, his expression turning peculiar.
Under his spiritual sense, he found a person shrouded in white light within a mountain cave, but the person's identity was beyond his expectations.
"Liu Sandao?"
Li Xun's spiritual sense swept over the figure meditating in the cave, and he compared it with the portrait he held.
The white-grade investable person the system had mentioned…
Who else could it be but Liu Sandao?
"No wonder the system suggested investing in a Spirit Opening Pill; Liu Sandao hasn't yet broken through to the Spirit Meridian stage and is still at the peak of the Qi Condensation stage."
"This is interesting."
Li Xun's lips curled into an amused smile.
Meanwhile, in a hidden cave…
A burly, rugged-looking man sat cross-legged in the deepest part of the cave.
His eyes flashed with malice, and a faint killing intent almost seemed to materialize.
"Damn Profound Sun Sect disciples!"
Liu Sandao cursed angrily. "I only slaughtered two villages, and now their disciples are after me. Without a doubt, the Profound Sun Sect must have already issued a mission to hunt me down!"
"The last time, it was two mid Qi Condensation disciples who were no match for me. But who knows what's coming next?"
Liu Sandao's left hand opened to reveal a crimson orb lying quietly in his palm, seemingly condensed from fresh blood.
As soon as the orb appeared, a thick, cloying scent of blood filled the air.
From within the orb, the wailing of ten thousand souls could be heard, as if countless beings were crying, filling the entire cave with an eerie atmosphere.
"The Blood Spirit Orb is still at the level of a mortal weapon, far from becoming a low-grade magical treasure. It needs at least ten thousand more lives to ascend."
Liu Sandao's eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light as he glanced at the outside world.
"To match my master's Blood Spirit Orb, there's still a long way to go."
"And speaking of which, I wonder where my master is right now..."
Liu Sandao was no fool.
After killing two Profound Sun Sect disciples, he knew that his actions had been discovered.
Disciples from orthodox sects like Profound Sun Sect were the most troublesome; kill one, and more would follow.
If he killed a weaker one, stronger ones would come next.
The last time, it was two mid Qi Condensation disciples.
Next, it could very well be someone at the peak of the Qi Condensation stage or even a Spirit Meridian disciple!
At the same level, Liu Sandao feared no one.
But he dreaded the possibility of facing a Spirit Meridian disciple.
With that in mind, he had already sent a message to his master.
If his master arrived, they could join forces and potentially catch the Profound Sun Sect off guard.
After killing two inner disciples, killing a Spirit Meridian disciple would surely shake the upper ranks of the Profound Sun Sect.
Liu Sandao licked his lips, his eyes filled with a violent light as he muttered to himself.
"It's been two days since I killed the two mid Qi Condensation disciples. The news must have already reached the Profound Sun Sect."
"They'd need time to issue the mission and for disciples to accept it."
"Plus, Canglang Mountain is over six thousand miles from Profound Sun Sect. Even if their disciples rushed here, it would take at least two days."
"These two days are more than enough for my master to arrive at Canglang Mountain ahead of them!"
With this thought, a confident glint appeared in Liu Sandao's eyes.
This time, perhaps he could play the role of the fisherman, patiently waiting for the fish to take the bait!
"I hope it's a Spirit Meridian disciple that comes next!"
"If I can kill him, I might extract his soul and refine it into the main soul of the Blood Spirit Orb. Who knows, it might even elevate the Blood Spirit Orb to a top-grade spiritual treasure someday!"
Liu Sandao's hands unconsciously caressed the Blood Spirit Orb, his heart growing fervent.
It was as if he could already see another Profound Sun Sect disciple dying in front of him.
Just as Liu Sandao was envisioning the future…
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The sound of clear footsteps echoed from the entrance of the cave.
"Master's here so soon?"
Liu Sandao's face lit up with joy.
Honestly, he had expected his master to take a few more days, but he hadn't anticipated that his master would arrive just one day after he sent the message.
It seemed that he did hold some weight in his master's eyes.
Thinking this, Liu Sandao didn't dare delay.
He quickly stood up and walked towards the cave entrance.
But before he had taken a few steps, a graceful figure appeared before him.
Upon seeing the person's attire, Liu Sandao's pupils shrank suddenly.
"A Profound Sun Sect disciple!"
