Chapter 184 Uncle Saved Me
After refining the talisman, Lu Qingyun put it into his sleeve.
After all, his cultivation level was still low at this time, and if he put it in a storage bag, he would inevitably be unable to activate his magic power. In contrast, hiding it in his sleeve would not have this problem.
It can be activated at crucial moments; simply throw it out, and it's even more discreet.
Lu Qingyun waved his hand, smoothing out the wrinkles in his sleeves.
He then took out a magic sword from his storage bag. He had also bought this sword in the market, though its grade was not high.
It's just a low-grade product.
"It's barely enough."
Lu Qingyun took it out not to fight enemies, but to prepare to refine a sword technique.
"Although I have the Thunder Talisman as my trump card, I can't expect everyone to rely on it."
"The magic power of rogue cultivators is weak. At this moment, I can probably deal with an opponent at the fourth level of Qi Refining just by relying on my strong magic power. If I were to deal with an opponent at the fifth level of Qi Refining, it would be somewhat difficult."
"Although with the addition of the Divine Soul Realm, dealing with cultivators at the fifth level of Qi Refining is quite easy, it is still not advisable to expose it. The Divine Soul Realm is too sensitive. If it attracts a half-step Foundation Establishment cultivator or a Foundation Establishment True Person, it will backfire."
Lu Qingyun stroked the sword's edge with his fingers, and the Heavenly Profound Magic Power within his body instantly transformed into Wood Element and condensed on the sword. Then, in a flash, it turned into a single point and pierced the stone wall.
boom!
In an instant, the area within half a meter of the stone wall was completely reduced to dust.
Lu Qingyun nodded slightly. This sword technique was the first-grade superior sword technique he had obtained in his previous life, called "Withered Trees Rejuvenate".
Although limited by his cultivation level, he could only use the first move of this sword technique at this moment, but even this single move, "New Swallow Pecking at Mud," was still impressive.
That would be enough for him to handle most of the dangers of this trip to Pinghu.
Don't be fooled by its gentle and weak appearance; it's easy to use but doesn't feel like anything.
But in reality, he was a half-step Foundation Establishment cultivator who had simplified a wood-attribute divine power.
In his previous life, Lu Qingyun's cultivation had reached the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, and he had even comprehended the Longevity Sword Intent. Such sword techniques were nothing special to him, and were completely inferior to the divine power enhanced by the Longevity Sword Intent, so they were like chicken ribs.
But this world is different. In this world, Lu Qingyun's cultivation is still in the early stage of Qi Refining, and his internal mana is not enough to support his sword intent. Therefore, this first-grade high-level sword technique can shine brightly.
This sword, drawing upon the vitality of the wood element, instantly transforms the sword's murderous aura into vibrant life the moment it is drawn, carrying with it the energy of heaven and earth.
However, the killing intent within did not vanish into thin air; rather, it manifested as a single point on the sword's edge.
Therefore, touching it will result in death, and injuring it will lead to demise.
Lu Qingyun practiced in the cave for a full half day.
By the next morning, the stone wall was covered in mottled marks.
The entire cave chamber has been expanded.
Its surface was covered with sharp sword light.
"good."
Lu Qingyun sheathed his sword and returned, nodding slightly.
"Once I go to the Cloud and Mist Mountains to earn a good sword, this preparation will be completely complete."
Yes, Lu Qingyun never intended to buy the magic sword.
A high-grade magic sword would cost several thousand spirit stones, which was unnecessary for him, and besides, he really couldn't afford it if he didn't try to take advantage of Zhao Qingxuan.
It would be better to go to the Cloud and Mist Mountains, find a kind person to donate their sword, and also gather all the spiritual herbs and remedies needed for this sect mission.
Once outside, Lu Qingyun glanced at Chen Xiru; the spiritual aura there was growing stronger, almost as if it were about to burst forth.
Unfortunately, Chen Xiru still hasn't made a move. It seems that she will only be able to successfully break through the barrier after this trip to Pinghu ends.
As for Sun Cheng, that's rather interesting.
Lu Qingyun probed with his divine sense.
Although this Senior Brother Sun had cut off the source of trouble, he was still a person who found pleasure in hardship, and his licentious nature remained unchanged.
Junior Brother Ye clung to Senior Brother Sun's side as if begging for mercy.
His Daoist partner, Junior Sister Pei, disappeared, replaced by several beautiful junior brothers just like him.
Lu Qingyun glanced at it twice, fearing that there might be evil brewing in his eyes.
Therefore, he immediately severed his spiritual connection and left Danfeng in a bad mood.
"Junior Brother Ye, you're saying no so soon? Why didn't you say so yesterday when Junior Sister Pei was here? Do you look down on me?"
"Senior brother, I'll think of something right away."
Junior Brother Ye said with a forced smile.
Although he forcibly channeled his magical power to energize his body, he inwardly groaned, "Junior Sister Pei is a woman, and you're a man, how can you be the same?!"
Yunxia Mountain Range.
Beautiful mountains, beautiful waters, beautiful scenery—everywhere is wonderful.
Unfortunately, the monsters are currently wreaking havoc, which has dampened the spirits of the Yunxia Sect disciples.
Lu Qingyun stepped out of the sect's protective formation. The formation emitted a wave that swept over him before disappearing again.
At this moment, Lu Qingyun had already put on a human skin mask, exuding a cold and stern aura, which frightened no one around him into daring to approach.
"It's the height of the beast tide, and this senior brother still dares to venture in alone. He's truly skilled and daring!"
One of his disciples looked at his retreating figure and sighed.
"I don't think so. This kid is clearly ignorant of his own limitations and is eager to die."
The round-faced disciple spat lightly.
He couldn't stand people as aloof as Lu Qingyun, and said sarcastically.
"I might be scared out of my wits by those demons in a little while."
At first, some people agreed with him, but after a while, everyone stopped talking.
Lu Qingyun simply ignored the demons, walking lightly and easily through them.
Only then did everyone realize that this was actually a low-key senior brother.
After crossing two mountains, Lu Qingyun quickly escaped everyone's sight before using his Lightness Technique to continue along the mountain path.
Under the cover of his divine sense, the low- to mid-level demonic beasts, whom everyone feared more than snakes and scorpions, could not detect his presence at all.
Lu Qingyun traveled and gathered herbs at the same time, strolling leisurely as if it were his own courtyard. In less than half a quarter of an hour, he had already collected most of the spiritual herbs and medicines needed for the sect's mission.
He bent down and placed a white spirit flower into his storage bag.
Roar!
A beast's roar came from ahead, accompanied by the sounds of weapons clashing.
Lu Qingyun raised an eyebrow.
A white-browed tiger was seen chasing a man in a green robe with a gloomy expression. The tiger was at the peak of the lower rank of the first level, while the man in the gloomy expression was only at the second level of Qi Refining.
The difference between the man and the tiger is clearly a small realm.
But the man in the green robe showed no fear whatsoever.
Lu Qingyun scanned the area with his divine sense and immediately realized that there was a master at the fifth level of Qi Refining protecting the formation from the shadows.
The white-browed tiger appeared to be in the upper hand, but in reality, its every move was being monitored by a master in the shadows.
Lu Qingyun glanced at the gloomy man and felt that he looked somewhat familiar.
After thinking about it, it suddenly dawned on me.
"No wonder he looked familiar. Isn't that the young master Cui from the Cui family of Qiyang?"
"What a coincidence!"
Lu Qingyun gave him a meaningful look.
Seizing an opening, the white-browed tiger's eyes gleamed with ferocity, determined to bite a bloody hole in Young Master Cui's body even if it meant taking a sword strike.
Young Master Cui was terrified and no longer cared about killing the tiger. He quickly rolled away to avoid the white-browed tiger's gaping maw.
"You beast!"
Young Master Cui made a huge blunder, crashing headfirst into a tree and becoming dizzy. His face was gloomy, and even with someone looking after him, how could he possibly hold on after being chased so miserably by this vicious tiger?
The expert guarding the formation sneered, "Since you've captured that tiger cub, why not use it as leverage to attack where the enemy is bound to defend? Seeing its cub injured, that beast will surely lose its composure and become completely disoriented, making it easy for you to kill it!"
"Yeah, how come I didn't think of that?"
Upon hearing the sound, Young Master Cui shook his head, finally snapping out of his daze.
Although it was hard to part with them, we knew that even if the tiger was gone, we could catch another one. We couldn't miss such a good opportunity for real-world practice.
He immediately took out the small, thin white tiger cub from his beast-taming bag.
Roar!
The little white tiger, both cute and fierce, hissed at Young Master Cui.
Young Master Cui's face turned cold, and he immediately drew his sword and severed its claws.
The white tiger, in pain, viciously bit at Young Master Cui, only to have one of its ears sliced off by him with a single sword stroke.
When the white-browed tiger saw its cub being killed, its eyes turned bloodshot, and it no longer cared about its own life, braving the blade of Young Master Cui's sword to rescue the cub.
It pounced.
Young Master Cui was not worried at all; on the contrary, he was overjoyed. The magic sword in his hand was a peerless magic weapon of the first-order mid-grade peak, which was his uncle Cui Cheng. If the white-browed tiger attacked, wouldn't it be courting its own destruction?
However, just as he thought he was about to succeed, a powerful and heavy palm print of magic suddenly struck him.
"Uncle, save me!"
Young Master Cui felt a chill run down his spine, his pupils contracted, and he sensed a life-or-death crisis. He hurriedly called out to his uncle, who was secretly protecting him.
"How dare you?"
Cui Cheng was shocked. He wanted to save Young Master Cui, but it was too late, as the palm print was about to fall on Young Master Cui.
A dazzling sword light instantly attacked him.
The sword light was initially just a cold glint, but its momentum grew increasingly fierce.
sieve!
Cui Cheng hurriedly parried and dodged, but the sword still grazed his face, leaving a bloody hole.
"Who exactly are you? Cui Quan is the son of Cui Bao, an elder of the Punishment Hall of the Yunxia Sect. My Cui family will never forget this grudge, and Elder Cui will surely make you pay for it in blood one day!"
With difficulty, Cui Cheng's remaining half of his face opened and closed, as he viciously uttered harsh words.
"Pfft!"
Lu Qingyun was amused by Cui Cheng's comical appearance.
Speaking of which, this young master Cui has quite a lot of relatives. In his previous life, he had an uncle-in-law who was at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and a father named Cui Bao who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining. In this life, he has an uncle named Cui Cheng who is at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
It's a pity that his uncle and maternal uncle didn't come along, otherwise they could have been reunited sooner.
Lu Qingyun chuckled, and a flash of sword light followed: "You'd better take care of yourself first. If I hadn't recognized him as Cui Bao's son, I might have let him go."
Although Lu Qingyun was not a murderer, he was not a kind-hearted person either. He would not let go of anyone like the Cui family who owed him a great debt of karma in his previous life.
"you!"
Having seen Cui Quan dead, Cui Cheng had already lost all will to fight. Now, seeing Lu Qingyun's sharp swordsmanship, he was even more terrified and turned to run away.
He couldn't care less about avenging Young Master Cui; if he didn't escape, he would lose his life here.
"Why bother? You can escape quickly, but my sword is even faster."
Seeing Cui Cheng flee in a sorry state, Lu Qingyun didn't care at all. Instead, he picked up Cui's precious sword and marveled at it.
It's a pity that Cui Cheng didn't bring this sword with him in his previous life. Otherwise, this magic sword, worth several thousand spirit stones, would have allowed him to sell it and avoid many detours in the early stages of his cultivation.
Lu Qingyun channeled a wisp of magic power into the sword, easily erasing Cui Cheng's mark from it.
Cui Cheng immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
Lu Qingyun raised an eyebrow, only then realizing that the sword belonged to Cui Cheng.
Taking advantage of his weakness and aiming to kill him, Lu Qingyun immediately activated his divine sense to lock onto Cui Cheng.
"Go!"
He gave a soft shout and clapped his hands.
The magic sword flew out of his hand automatically, a faint glint of cold light appearing, and instantly pierced Cui Cheng's heart.
Cui Cheng was pierced by his own magic sword, bleeding profusely. He stared at Lu Qingyun in disbelief, his eyes filled with panic: "You...you're actually a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator!"
