Miracle Doctor Abandoned Daughter The Sly Emperor's Wild Beast-Tamer Empress
Chapter 653: Meal with a Hidden AgendaIt seemed that Bo Qing and Long Baobao would fight each other to the very end.
“Enough?” Ye Lingyue showed a sullen look and pulled the two pretty boys apart. “Let’s get down to the business. We have made great efforts to get here and must find a way to break the limit.”
Facing the glare of Ye Lingyue, Bo Qing finally showed some restraint.
“It is not hard to break the limit here. The key lies in the spiritual artifact of the Great Yellow Immortal. I can feel that he carries it all the time, so it is hard to get it.”
Bo Qing was lost in meditation.
“Bo Qing, have you seen his spiritual artifact?” Ye Lingyue suddenly asked.
“Ha ha, you have asked the right person. I am the renowned Treasure Collector and know about all the spiritual artifacts. The Great Yellow Immortal’s spiritual artifact is called the Thunder Bell, one with unique property. It’s as big as the ordinary bell on the dog’s neck. Actually, it is quite similar to the one tied to the dumb dog.” Bo Qing pointed at Little Squeak aside.
There was a bell right on the neck of Little Squeak.
Long Baobao got on well with Little Squeak. He had long since treated Little Squeak as an ordinary dog and then made a gold bell for it. The greed for money drove Little Squeak to put the bell on its neck.
Little Squeak was displeased with the address term of “dumb dog” and kept shouting at Bo Qing.
“Similar to this bell?”
Bo Qing might make the comparison casually while Ye Lingyue thought about it carefully.
An idea instantly came to her.

Ye Lingyue had learnt well how to substitute the fake for the genuine from the Smart Hand Sect. She planned to grab the Thunder Bell with the Dragon Claw Gloves at the right time tonight.
It soon got dark.
After night fell, the Great Yellow Immortal invited Bo Qing and his companions for a meal out.
No one knew how the Great Yellow Immortal managed to buy some fruit, beef and lamb in the wild. There were tables of dishes and some wine intended to cater to Bo Qing.
The campfire was roaring and dozens of followers from the Blue Thunder Taoist Sect huddled together.
They heard that their master had saved a great beauty.
By the fire, they saw clearly the girl with attractive eyes and an oval face. Her eyes seemed to possess magic power and no one could take their eyes off her.
The followers all secretly envied their master encountering such a gorgeous girl.
The girl was accompanied by a maid with a black face and an adorable boy.
“Qing’er, come on. Spare the formalities and just sit by me.” The more the Great Yellow Immortal looked at Qing’er, the more he felt that such a girl could only be a celestial being. He kept holding the girl’s hand and could not wait to have a night with her.
Bo Qing feigned shyness by lowering his attractive eyes, holding back the impulse to chop off the Great Yellow Immortal’s hand with a knife.
“Master, it’s all wilderness and I am quite fearful when it gets dark. When will you go back?” Bo Qing asked in a seemingly casual manner.
“Qing’er, take it easy. We are with you and will keep you safe. Earlier, I found with my unique eyes that there is a treasure in this area. Pitifully, the treasure’s traces are undetectable and we have to wait for the right time. Then we’ll just stay here for some time. In three days at most, I will take you back to my sect.” The Great Yellow Immortal did not sense anything wrong and told the truth.
Only then did Bo Qing realize that the Great Yellow Immortal also learnt about the whereabouts of the Qiankun Zijin Bamboo.
Somehow, the bamboo would not always stay in the same place. In this case, the Great Yellow Immortal had to pitch camp in this area.
After drinking several cups of wine, the Great Yellow Immortal grew tipsy and obviously talked more. He now called Bo Qing “beauty” instead of “Qing’er”.
“Master, back in the North Qing, I have ever seen a powerful alchemist from the Dan Palace. He could fly in the air by standing on a flying sword. It’s quite amazing. Master, could you do that?” Bo Qing asked again.
“Flying? Beauty, what is that petty trick? I am much more powerful than those self-conceited Dan Palace alchemists.” The Great Yellow Immortal gave a loud hiccup.
His followers instantly urged him.
“Invincible Master, time to show your skills.”
The urge stimulated the Great Yellow Immortal.
He stood up staggeringly.
“Beauty, see what’s in my hand?”
The Great Yellow Immortal took out a bell from his sleeves.
Ye Lingyue took a secret glance and found that the bell was identical to what Bo Qing had drawn.
The gold bell was as small as half a palm and the engravings featured flashes of lightning which reflected a beam of golden light when lit up by the campfire. The bell looked delicate and interesting.
“Just a shabby bell.” Bo Qing deliberately said with a disdainful look.

No wonder the saints all say that women are long-haired but short-sighted.” The Great Yellow Immortal burst into laughter. “It’s not the ordinary bell but a spiritual artifact. You may not have heard of the spiritual artifact. Let me show you what it is.” The Great Yellow Immortal then left his seat and walked to the empty ground ahead.
He kept muttering something and then the bell in his palm suddenly gave off dazzling light with a buzzing sound.
Right after that, the bell flew up into the air and kept floating.
It was now as big as a copper bell in the temple.
With a loud ding, the lightning engravings on the bell buzzed and turned into a number of purple bolts.
Boom! There came a purple bolt from the blue.
The whole sky seemed to be torn into halves by the bolt.
When the purple bolt struck the ground, the forest land ahead had already gone up in smoke.
Both Ye Lingyue and Long Baobao were startled. The power of this spiritual artifact could hardly find any match.
After showing off his spiritual artifact, the Great Yellow Immortal unhurriedly used his god sense to make the bell fly quickly back into his hand. Then the bell changed back to its original size.
The moves of taking out and back the bell were quite skillful and the whole process went off smoothly.
“Master, you are amazing! Can I take a look at the bell?” Bo Qing pretended to heap praises on the Great Yellow Immortal.
“Beauty, you simply cannot control the spiritual artifact. Except for the ones with enormous spiritual energy, anyone touching it will be hurt by the force of thunder and lightning and turn into charred corpses.” The Great Yellow Immortal hid the small bell in the right sleeve and then went back while laughing loudly.
Bo Qing took notice of all this. With a slight frown, he looked at Ye Lingyue and said bashfully.
“Xiao Yue, come and serve Master and me by our side.”
