Chapter 48 - New Owner

Lee Tao held a dumbfounded expression when the First Heaven kept having amazing items that shouldn't exist in the first place.

"Relic Stone- a mythical stone that is embedded with pure profound qi." Lee Tao mumbled as he could imagine the number of cultivators in the Upper Heaven fighting to the death for this one relic stone.

Pure profound qi is completely different from the average profound qi that people know.

The density and aura of pure profound qi are enough to cause a war to occur as it will not only allow the cultivator to reach a new height, but their power will also multiply.

"Hmm, since this is a treasure made for me. Don't mind me taking it then," Lee Tao smirked as he began closing his eyes.

A gush of profound qi then emitted out from Lee Tao's hand as he started overwriting the structure of the Relic Stone.

Sometime later, the Relic Stone began glowing a blue light and the name Lee Tao was soon engraved in it.

With his name engraved in the Relic Stone, Lee Tao had successfully become the new owner of the ancient ruin.

He was now allowed to teleport and leave as he pleased, even if he was somewhere else.

"Hehe, not a bad ancient ruin for exploration. I got a chance to practice my shoe massage and had a breakthrough in cultivation at long last," Lee Tao laughed wickedly as he glanced at the chimera on the side.

"You little chimera, what are you planning to do now?"

"C-C-Can I follow you around?"

Lee Tao raised an eyebrow.

"Haven't you seen what kind of person I am already?" Lee Tao asked in confusion.

"I'm an egoist that puts myself first before others." He added.

The chimera nodded his head, "I know, but only the best and capable person would be like that."

"I don't wish to stay in the ancient ruins forever since my cultivation would never increase that way. I wished to follow the strongest and accompany them everywhere."

Lee Tao showed an amused expression at the declaration of the chimera.

He was loving the mindset and attitude of the chimera.

However, he wasn't going to just let the chimera follow him just because he wanted to.

As an Immortal, it is his duty to make others feel honored that they could even become a servant or follower for him.

"Hmm, what are you good at then?" Lee Tao asked after some pondering.

"I-I can be your mount, and I have a durable body to be a tank for you," The chimera quickly replied in eagerness.

"What do I need a tank for? Also, having a mount with me is practically useless since I'm not a disabled man." Lee Tao snorted coldly.

Meanwhile, the chimera whimpered in sadness at the harsh tone of Lee Tao.

"B-But I saw you having that woman carrying you up… I thought you wanted a beast to sit on it." The chimera mumbled.

"That's because her body is soft enough for me to lay in it. Are you though?"

The chimera was stumped as he was unable to reply to Lee Tao's response.

Lee Tao narrowed his eyes as he stared at the chimera. "Fine, I'll make an exception to accept you as my follower if you can harvest every plant in the ancient ruins."

"Really?"

"An Immortal does not go back on his words."

With that being said, the chimera quickly nodded his head as he dashed away.

A swooshing sound was created as some wind current brushed past Lee Tao's face by the extreme speed of the chimera.

"Haaa a fool indeed," Lee Tao laughed when he finally got rid of the chimera.

"Why would I bring a flashy chimera with me and let him share my glory as well?" Lee Tao scoffed as he glanced around the surroundings a few more times.

Afterward, he grabbed a chair and brushed some of the dust off.

"Everything is pretty dusty around here… meaning that no one has been in here for a long time." Lee Tao mumbled softly.

"That pseudo-Immortal is most likely dead or went somewhere far away." He added.

Sometime later, Lee Tao regrouped with Tang Lingling as he said, "We're leaving the ancient ruins, Tang Lingling."

Tang Lingling stored the dagger back into her storage ring as she twitched her brow.

"Have the Young Master found an exit to this place already?" She asked.

Lee Tao nodded his head.

"Mhmm, the ancient ruins are getting boring already, and I have enough fun for the day."

"What about that chimera? I saw him dashing away earlier, but I don't know where he has gone to?"

Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders. "The chimera is most likely going away to have some fun since this place is boring besides that scenery outside."

"I see…"

Sometime later, Lee Tao grabbed the Relic Stone as he injected some of his profound qi into it.

Tang Lingling was dumbfounded when she could feel her body turning warm on the profound qi that was emitting out from the Relic Stone.

However, she couldn't get to ask any more questions when a blinding light flashed by her eyes.

Tang Lingling squinted her eyes to avoid the flashing light, and by the time she reopened her eyes. She found herself at the original forest that they were traveling in to enter the ancient ruin.

"H-How did we…" Tang Lingling stuttered in disbelief as she noticed Yao Meixiang and the others were also teleported next to them.

"What happened to us? We were just about to fight some magical beasts," Meng Xue asked in confusion as she glanced around.

"There was a blinding light that surrounded us, and somehow we got kicked out," Jia Qiu added.

Meanwhile, Yao Meixiang held a dumbfounded look as she asked, "L-Lee Tao… where have you been?"

Lee Tao scratched his head as he showed a confused expression.

"I-I don't know where I have been either, Yao Meixiang. Tang Lingling was shielding me from some traps that I stepped on, and we were trapped in a dark environment for a long time.." Lee Tao said.
