Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely Chapter 192 – Convinced  

Li Yuanqing walked hundreds of miles away and found a quiet mountain peak. He landed and dug out a cave.

The Man-eating Vine landed outside and her vines covered all corners of the mountain. Under the surveillance of the Man-eating Vine, this mountain could be said to be absolutely safe.

In the cave, Li Yuanqing took out the blood-red meatball.

When Li Yuanqing placed it in his domain, he used a layer of imprisonment to prevent the blood vine from obtaining too much freedom.

Li Yuanqing was still a little wary of this fellow. This demon seemed to be more intelligent than ordinary demons. Moreover, his entire body emitted an evil aura. He could not tell where he came from.

The blood vine slowly stretched out, revealing his huge eyes as he stared at Li Yuanqing.

“You said you know divination?”

“Master, I only know a little. I'm not proficient. I'm still far from Master's spell.” The blood vine lowered his body to the ground and looked up at Li Yuanqing.

Although Li Yuanqing had yet to confirm that he would accept him, this fellow was very sweet and kept calling him master. “I never said I wanted to keep you.”

The blood vine looked at Li Yuanqing quietly and suddenly laughed. “If Master didn't want to take me in, I'm afraid I would have died in the cave of Tarzan.”

The blood vine was really smart. His words were even more stable.

“Alright, since you want to follow me, tell me why Tarzan thinks so highly of you and keeps you in his treasure pavilion.”

“Because I have some ability to seek luck and avoid calamity. I can help Tarzan avoid the assassinations of some enemies.”

“Really?”

Li Yuanqing looked at the blood vine carefully. This fellow sounded quite honest, but there was always a hint of lying in his words. He did not expect such a strange species to be born among these demons.

He had thought that the demons in the catacombs were all simple-minded people. Now that he had seen one today, he realized that there were still these demons who relied on their brains for a living.

Li Yuanqing did not believe him. This statement was too simple. If that was all he had, it would not be enough for Tarzan to keep him by his side so intimately. It was clear that he hid many secrets.

The blood vine looked at Li Yuanqing respectfully and said, “I have some other abilities, but they are all insignificant. I also know a little more and know a little about the various things in the catacombs.”

“How much do you know?”

“I happen to know some information that's useful to Tarzan. That's why I worked with him for a while. However, since that monkey has already died, these things are not worth mentioning.”

The blood vine's words were said casually, as if it was deliberately making this matter simple.

His words were very difficult to satisfy him. A black sword slowly rose from Li Yuanqing's back and hung above his head. His eyes stared coldly at the blood vine, the meaning in them making one shiver.

Seeing this, the blood vine did not dare to say anything else. He hurriedly begged Li Yuanqing, “Master, I've said everything I need to say. If there's anything else that I haven't explained, just tell me.”

Li Yuanqing did not have such a good temper. His voice also became colder. “I've already said everything just now. I thought you would be able to reveal more or less what you know, but I didn't expect that we're still a little distant. You're always hiding something, so there's no need to negotiate with me here.”

Before Li Yuanqing could finish his sentence, the sword hanging behind him suddenly stabbed towards the blood vine.

The blood vine was shocked when he saw this. The vines on his body twisted violently, as if there was blood spreading inside.

The blood vine was so frightened that his entire body twitched. He watched as the powerful energy approached his head. This energy was not something he could withstand. He hurriedly shouted at Li Yuanqing, “Sir, spare me. I'll tell you everything!”

The blood vine closed his big eyes tightly. He did not dare to open them and watch Li Yuanqing's sword land on his body. However, after a while, there was no intense pain as he imagined.

The blood vine slowly opened his eyes and realized that the dark sword was hovering an inch in front of his big eye. If he took another step forward, it would really stab down.

The blood vine seemed to heave a long sigh of relief and looked at Li Yuanqing gratefully. His eyes revealed the joy of surviving a calamity. Li Yuanqing had seen through his little scheme just now.

Li Yuanqing snorted and said to him, “I hate it when people lie to me.”

“Sir, please calm down. I shouldn't have lied to you.” The blood vine lay on the ground respectfully, his body trembling.

Li Yuanqing looked down at him. “You better give me a reason to let you live.”

“Master, don't be anxious. I wonder if Master has heard of the Ape Saint Ancestor?”

“What's that?”

“Actually, many demons in the catacombs are also outsiders. For example, the ape race originally came from outside the catacombs and gradually grew stronger inside.” The blood vine told Li Yuanqing obediently. “However, there was also a large-scale conflict between the demons back then. It was only after that that the current situation arose.”

Li Yuanqing slowly sized up the blood vine. This fellow was indeed hiding something. Initially, Li Yuanqing was just guessing to scare it. He did not expect to bluff something out.

When Tarzan and Long Tianzun faced each other, his physical condition was already not very good. Logically speaking, there was still a difference in strength between the two of them.

Generally speaking, Long Tianzun's strength was definitely suppressed. However, Tarzan seemed to have no intention of getting serious with Long Tianzun that day. Both sides were very harmonious. This matter was too strange.

It was not until Li Yuanqing arrived at Tarzan's lair and discovered the blood vine that he seemed to understand some of the reasons.

The reason why the blood vine emitted such a dense evil aura was that this thing needed to be nourished with blood. Tarzan nourished this thing with his blood essence every day and night, causing him to be in a bad state.

That was why Tarzan took the initiative to suggest that the two sides negotiate in Rong City. He thought that he could scare Long Tianzun with his might. However, Tarzan would never have thought that someone like Li Yuanqing would appear halfway and mess up all his plans.

“And then? What happened after that? You can't possibly want to brush it off by saying such things.”

The blood vine hurriedly begged for mercy. “Master, calm down. I definitely won't dare to prevaricate.”

“Continue.”

“Their ape race originally obtained a great deal in that war, but they couldn't find any of it. They only left behind a rumor that the Monkey Saint Ancestor had hidden all his assets and hadn't had the time to explain.”

“Treasure?”

“That's right. It's the treasure of the Monkey Saint Ancestor. This is a huge sum of wealth. If we can find where this wealth is, we might have the power to rule the catacombs.”

Li Yuanqing rubbed his chin and thought about whether this fellow's words were true or false. However, he really had to see what this treasure was. What kind of treasure was it that as long as one possessed it, they could become a king in the catacombs? This was too ridiculous.

The blood vine carefully sized up Li Yuanqing's expression. It was unknown if Li Yuanqing would believe it. This master's temper was unfathomable. More importantly, he was too powerful.

The blood vine thought that he was knowledgeable, but even though he had been in the Catacombs for so many years, he had never seen someone as unfathomable as Li Yuanqing. This master was really powerful!

After a long time, Li Yuanqing suddenly shook his head. This action shocked the blood vine.

“Master…”

Li Yuanqing asked him, “Aren't your words a little too strange? This catacomb world is so huge. If just the Monkey Saint Ancestor can possess such power, why didn't they unify the catacombs back then? How could they leave it to me to do that?”

The blood vine hurriedly said, “Master, you don't know. Actually, all those important figures disappeared overnight. Originally, there were a few treasures in the catacombs that had grasped absolute law in their hands, but these people are gone.”

“There's such a thing?”

“This catacomb is a small world to begin with, so it naturally has its own laws here. Originally, these laws could be controlled, but ever since that battle, a few forces have occupied those treasures.

“Moreover, since then, those treasures and the important figures of these families have never appeared again. Therefore, if someone can find the location of these treasures first, they will naturally have a chance to unify the catacombs.”

The blood vine's words were a little tempting. If there was really such a good opportunity, it would naturally be an opportunity for Li Yuanqing.

The human race here is weak now. A powerful leader needs to stand up and lead them to grow stronger. Although Li Yuanqing was strong enough now, the humans here could not rely on his strength alone to fight against the demons. He had to strengthen the humans here.

This sounded like a very long process, but if such a treasure existed, it could greatly shorten this time. This was really a huge opportunity.

Li Yuanqing looked up at the blood vine and asked, “In other words, Tarzan raised you in your bedroom for this treasure?”

“Master, you are wise. Many years ago, I accidentally obtained a map underground. This map is related to the treasure of the Monkey Saint Ancestor.”

“Map?”

“That's right. That map is very unique. It has the unique token seal of the ape race. On it, it vaguely points to a location, but I haven't understood it for so many years.”

“What map? Let me see.”

A vine suddenly stretched out from under his body and gradually reached Li Yuanqing's feet. The vine was empty. There was nothing on it, but a bulge at the root of the vine moved slowly forward, as if a small ball was swimming inside. As the small bulge gradually moved forward, it finally reached the shoulder of the vine. With a plop, a hole appeared in the small bulge and it exploded like a small ball.

A rolled-up map was wrapped in a few small vines and delivered to Li Yuanqing.

The blood vine had preserved the map quite well. Li Yuanqing sized up the body of the blood vine again. This fellow was so agile and had such a map hidden in his body. Could it be that his body had such an effect? However, he did not know if there was anything else hidden.

Li Yuanqing took the map and opened it to take a closer look. However, he frowned tightly after that.

This map was a very simple picture. There were some strange lines drawn in the middle of the mountains on it. They were connected together and looked messy. If one scanned the picture, it seemed like a useless drawing or a description of a certain place. This looked too strange and he could not tell anything.

Looking at Li Yuanqing's worried expression, the blood vine hurriedly explained, “Master, based on my guess, this must be a place. As long as we find this place, we will definitely be able to find the place where the Monkey Saint Ancestor hid his treasures. At that time, the entire world of Catacombs will be yours.”

Li Yuanqing slowly put away the map and pondered for a while. “Have you been searching for it all these years?”

“Master, I've been looking for it with Tarzan for a hundred years.”

“A hundred years?”

The blood vine hurriedly said, “But I seem to have some clues recently. The roots I released have sent some news recently. It seems to have found a few similarities. As long as I rush over to confirm, I can identify them.”

“Where is it?”

“At present, there are a total of three possible places. This place is about thousands of kilometers away. We will be able to rush over in no time with your strength.”

Li Yuanqing pondered silently for a moment and lowered his head to look at the blood vine. “Are you willing to be my servant?” Since this blood vine seemed to be useful, he would keep it for the time being and spare his life.

The blood vine had been waiting for a long time. It slowly crawled on the ground and shouted very respectfully, “Master!”

“Alright, I happen to have an inner demon here. I'll give it to you.”

As Li Yuanqing spoke, he raised a hand and placed it on the head of the blood vine. On the flat ground, a black light spot entered the blood vine's body from Li Yuanqing's palm.
