Volume 7: The Strongest Four Realms Chapter 46 A Drama
Lu Qingshan let out a long sigh. With Xia Daoyun standing up for him, even if Marquis Luotang was unwilling, and even if other people had many thoughts, it had nothing to do with him.
No one dared to make things difficult for him.
Lu Qingshan turned around and left.
The monks watching the battle were still immersed in the previous battle. The figures of the two men fighting on the ring seemed to still remain in front of their eyes. It was not until Lu Qingshan's figure disappeared in the Tianzui Martial Hall that they suddenly woke up.
The deputy city lord of Yinyang City, who also came to watch the battle today, sighed with shock and emotion, "I only knew that the sword sect disciples were extraordinary, but today I know that they can be so extraordinary. Lu Qingshan is in the top five or even top three of the list. After this battle, all doubts about him should disappear. Two prides from the same family, and they were picked up from the Seven Realms Discussion Forum. The sword sect has made a big profit!"
"Two proud brothers in one family... But Ji Chuan is at least in his thirties, and Lu Qingshan..."
Everyone was shocked. They were so busy discussing Lu Qingshan's strength that they ignored his age for a moment.
There is no fixed time for the Sword Sect to recruit disciples. As long as there is a suitable sword cultivator, the door to the Sword Sect will be opened.
So they were not particularly clear about Ji Chuan's exact age, they only knew that he was at most 35, or maybe only 28 or 29.
Lu Qingshan is different.
As a grassroots swordsman who entered the Sword Sect through the Seven Realms Discussion, they had already clearly determined Lu Qingshan's age during the qualification test.
With a little thought, he could figure out that this rookie from the Sword Sect who was about to become famous was only twenty years old this year.
How can this not surprise and shock people?
"At my age, I'm really living a dog's life." A Great Xia swordsman in the spectator seats shook his head and said self-deprecatingly.
Ling Yue, who was also in the spectator seats, was in a daze. Suddenly, she thought of something and curled her lips, "Why is the gap between me and him getting bigger and bigger? I just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, and he has already become the strongest among the Nascent Soul cultivators..."
"Let's go," Lin Yao's voice suddenly came to her ears, "Let's go see our old friend together."
They came here with this purpose in mind.
Lingyue quickly withdrew her thoughts and followed Lin Yao in quick steps.
…
After leaving the Tianzui Martial Hall, Lu Qingshan quickly forgot about the arena battle.
He is just a physical cultivator in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm, and currently he can still be considered a strong opponent.
But Lu Qingshan understood that it wouldn't take much time for him to reach the late stage of the Refining Void Realm, so why should he worry about it?
In his mind, he began to sort out his next training arrangements.
The current experience points are definitely enough. Although there is no such thing as too much, there is no need to pursue them deliberately.
His priority is artistic conception.
In the Nascent Soul stage, intention is more important than method.
At this level, the practice of martial arts is placed second, and artistic conception is the top priority.
In addition, in his spare time to improve his artistic conception, he can also improve his own combat system.
Generally speaking, his skill system is complete, but it is not without room for improvement.
The most noticeable point is that with such a powerful killing weapon as the Yujing Yuanshen, a strange situation occurred when he was fighting - his magic power had run out, but his soul still had strength left.
He practiced four kinds of Taoism, and his spiritual energy was particularly pure and powerful, so this kind of situation should not have happened.
Unfortunately, his soul realm was even more powerful. He was only in the Nascent Soul stage, but he had already broken through to the Control Realm.
This is undoubtedly a waste.
As for soul attack spells, he already has the pupil technique of Xiezhi, but this pupil technique consumes too much energy and is too powerful, so it can only be kept as a trump card and is not suitable as a conventional means.
Therefore, he planned to choose another soul attack spell to practice.
As for how to find it and which door to find, Lu Qingshan just smiled and was not worried.
For this kind of problem, why not just go to Xia Daoyuan?
As Lu Qingshan was thinking, Xia Daoyun's voice suddenly appeared in his ears, "It looks like someone is looking for you. You should deal with it first, and then come to me, haha..."
Lu Qingshan was surprised.
Is someone looking for me?
Also, why do I always feel that there is a hint of watching a show hidden in Xia Daoyuan's words?
Is it an illusion?
While I was thinking about it, I saw shadowy figures behind me and two women appeared in my sight.
The woman on the right looks playful and lovely, and seems somewhat familiar, as if I have seen her somewhere.
But for a moment, Lu Qingshan couldn't remember his identity and name.
The woman on the left had a veil covering her face, and only a pair of eyes could be seen, but Lu Qingshan recognized her identity immediately.
"Lin Yao, why are you here?" Lu Qingshan said when he saw the two people coming towards him.
"My junior sister and I heard that you were going to have a duel with Luo Ji in Tianzui Martial Hall. It just so happens that Tianji Temple is not far from Yinyang City where Tianzui Martial Hall is located, so we..." Lin Yao's eyes flashed slightly, and she explained softly.
Lu Qingshan nodded to show that he understood, and then, out of politeness, he looked at Lingyue who was standing beside him, "May I know what is this junior sister's name?"
Then, Lu Qingshan discovered that for some reason, Lin Yao's junior sister's face suddenly turned red after he asked this question. She looked at him with gritted teeth, and her two little fangs were grinding, as if she wanted to bite him.
This made Lu Qingshan a little surprised.
You want to bite people for no reason. Are you born in the Year of the Dog?
"This is Junior Sister Lingyue." Lin Yao had a keen eye and quickly introduced her.
Lingyue?
Lu Qingshan originally had an excellent memory, and after becoming a cultivator he even had a photographic memory. However, he had never paid much attention to Lingyue, so he did not react for a while.
After Lin Yao said this, the memories of Ling Yue in his mind quickly surfaced.
No wonder he was so angry with me even though we just met. It turned out that he still remembered the time when the Seven Realms Discussion Forum was defeated by me.
Yes, it must be so.
The woman is really stingy. It was just such a small thing, but a year has passed and she is still so brooding over it!
Lu Qingshan suddenly understood and felt a little confused.
"I was just saying why you look so familiar." However, Lu Qingshan gave Lingyue enough face on the surface. After all, she was Lin Yao's junior sister. He apologized, "I was just fighting with Luo Ji and my thoughts were not collected yet. I didn't realize it was you. I'm sorry for my negligence."
"Is that so?" Lingyue didn't care whether Lu Qingshan's excuse was reliable or not, as long as she believed it.
Otherwise, I've been thinking about him for so long, but he doesn't even remember who I am. It's so embarrassing!
Lu Qingshan looked around. The streets were bustling with people coming and going. "Let's find a quiet place and sit down to talk."
The two women naturally had no objection.
Above the restaurant.
"How was your stay in Tianji Temple? Did your senior brothers and sisters bully you?" Lu Qingshan asked.
He just asked casually.
Generally speaking, the larger the sect, the lower the possibility of bullying by fellow disciples, even if the relationship between them is cold.
The same was true in the previous life. The schools where campus violence occurred frequently were all rural and county schools. Good schools in big cities generally did not have such things.
Lin Yao nodded lightly, "It's going well. The brothers and sisters are quite friendly to me. In addition, I just entered Tianji Temple not long ago, and the master of Shuiyue Temple accepted me as a disciple. He treats me with great concern every day."
"Master of Shuiyue Temple?" Lu Qingshan was a little surprised.
He could guess that with Lin Yao's physique, she would definitely be valued by Tianji Temple, but he didn't expect that she would directly ascend to the top and be accepted as a disciple by the master of Shuiyue Temple.
It shouldn't come to this, right?
Lu Qingshan was puzzled, because no matter what, Lin Yao's aptitude for cultivation was still flawed.
Although the Phantom Divine Vein is very powerful, it is more strong in practicality. All you need to do is pile some resources on Lin Yao and push her to the Nascent Soul stage.
The deputy abbot personally accepted her as his disciple, which seemed to show that he valued Lin Yao too much.
"I have some talent in practicing certain spells." Lin Yao saw Lu Qingshan's confusion, pursed her lips, and explained softly.
"Heavenly magic?" Lu Qingshan was shocked and asked subconsciously.
Lingyue raised her eyebrows, a little surprised at Lu Qingshan's reaction speed.
Lin Yao was used to it and just nodded slightly.
Lu Qingshan frowned and looked at Lin Yao, not knowing what emotion to express.
The Tianji Magic Technique is the spiritual technique of the Tianji Temple. The original method is engraved on the Tianji Mirror. I dare not say it is the most powerful secret method, but it is definitely the most obscure and mysterious spell.
Lu Qingshan was not sure about the exact proportion of people who could master this art, but he was sure that one in ten thousand was not enough, and one in a hundred thousand was still not enough.
Because the Tianji Lingshu is not only a spiritual art that connects the heavens, the earth, ghosts and gods, but also the method of using the Tianji Mirror.
Only by practicing this technique can one use the Tianji Mirror, the Taoist artifact of Tianji Temple.
However, Tianji Temple is such a magnificent Taoist sect that it often has to worry about its successor.
But think about it, if this magical art of divine prediction is easy to practice, wouldn't predicting divine predictions be a simple matter?
Fortunately, the Tianji Mirror has the ability to split the mirror.
The storyboard's ability to predict the secrets of heaven is a castrated version compared to the Heavenly Secret Mirror, but the requirements for its use are also castrated.
Lin Yao has a talent for practicing this spiritual art, which seems to be a good thing.
The reason why Lu Qingshan had complicated emotions was that when using this thing, it did not consume spiritual power or consciousness, but consumed his lifespan!
"Your phantom body veins are a talent with infinite potential for development. You don't need to practice this divine magic." Lu Qingshan said helplessly.
“But in the sect, apart from the master, no one else can learn the art of divine intelligence,” Lin Yao lowered her eyes slightly, “Master and the others have been worried about this for many years…”
"Besides," Lin Yao raised her head, a little light flashed in her eyes, "I am willing to do it myself."
Lu Qingshan had nothing to say.
They are not children. Everyone makes their own decisions and others have no right to comment.
Even if he had done Lin Yao a great favor, it was still the same.
“That’s right. My aptitude for cultivation is indeed average. Even with the sect’s unlimited investment of resources, I am only at the Golden Core stage now.” Lin Yao pursed her lips, somewhat unwillingly saying.
"It has been less than four years since you left Zhenjiang and entered Tianji Temple. Four years to achieve the Golden Core stage is a pretty good speed of cultivation," Lu Qingshan soothed.
The version of "Shadow of the Underworld" has not yet arrived, so Lin Yao still has enough time to develop.
Because the auras of Lingyue and Lin Yao were both obscure and unclear, he was unable to detect Lin Yao's specific cultivation level before Lin Yao revealed her Golden Core cultivation level.
It was obvious that the two of them were wearing some kind of magical weapon with a hidden aura.
Tianji Temple is extremely skilled in this kind of business, so it is not surprising that they equipped the two of them with such a magical weapon.
"But it's only been more than three years since you left Zhenjiang." Lin Yao looked at Lu Qingshan and blinked, indicating that his consolation was not sincere.
"Lu Qingshan, how come your cultivation speed is so fast?" Lingyue interrupted, looking at Lu Qingshan curiously with her big watery eyes.
The little girl was simple-minded. She was just purely curious and had no intention of finding out Lu Qingshan's secrets.
"It's a combination of hard work and some luck," Lu Qingshan thought for a moment, and added, "Plus, my master taught me well."
He was well aware of his own aptitude for cultivation, which was much worse than Lin Yao's. He was naturally embarrassed to say that it was because of his good aptitude. It was also difficult to say that he was cheating, so he could only find a few excuses to deal with it.
"Master asked me to tell you that if you are free, you can go to Tianji Temple. Master wants to thank you in person." Lin Yao skipped the topic and continued.
"Thank me?" Lu Qingshan was puzzled.
"After all, it was the young master who sent me to Tianji Temple." Lin Yao explained.
Oh, this should be considered as the agency fee?
Lu Qingshan understood.
He nodded and replied, "I'll go."
"Young Master, when you were fighting with Luo Ji in Tianzui Martial Hall just now, it was as if you knew everything in advance. This must be the true meaning of cause and effect, right?" Lin Yao thought for a moment and suddenly asked.
"Yes." Lu Qingshan didn't care about the true meaning of cause and effect being exposed.
——He would often use the true meaning of cause and effect, so he had no intention of hiding it.
"Young Master, you should know that among all the Taoist sects in the world, my Tianji Temple ranks first in terms of the grasp of the true meaning of cause and effect." Lin Yao said softly.
Lu Qingshan's heart moved.
"Young Master, if you encounter a bottleneck in your practice of the true meaning of cause and effect, come to our Tianji Temple and this problem may be solved."
Lin Yao hinted, "My Tianji Guan Yin and Yang Building is very helpful for the practice of the true meaning of karma. Since Master has said that he wants to express his gratitude to you, if you ask to go into this Yin and Yang Building, Master should not refuse..."
It's not that it's hard to refuse, not that I can't refuse.
Lu Qingshan noticed Lin Yao's choice of words.
"I will go." Having said this, how could he not understand what Lin Yao meant.
…
"These two women, especially Lin Yao, obviously have some different feelings for my disciple." At the same time, on a pavilion somewhere, Xia Daoyun's eyes flickered, but he was looking at everything that happened on Lu Qingshan's side from a long distance, as if thinking about something.
According to Lu Qingshan's habit, he set up a soundproofing ban as soon as he started talking with Lin Yao and Ling Yue.
However, this soundproofing ban can stop others, but can it stop Xia Daoyuan?
The Karma Building is the secret place for cultivation in Tianji Temple. It costs a lot to open it.
Lu Qingshan didn't understand all this, so how could she not understand?
"This girl is obviously a traitor." Xia Daoyun pondered.
Elbows sticking out are not a good thing, and she didn't appreciate it very much.
But if the person who turned to her was her own disciple, she would appreciate it even more.
Xia Daoyun tapped the table with his fingers and thought: "Born in Tianji Temple, he is the disciple of the two deputy temple masters. He has an extraordinary background and his appearance is also the spirit of heaven and earth."
Thinking about this, Xia Daoyun raised his eyebrows, "You are worthy of being my disciple!"
His disciples excel in every aspect.
Xia Daoyun expressed her satisfaction.
What? Is this peeping into someone else's privacy?
Can the disciples' affairs be called peeping?
This is called caring about the emotional life of disciples.
As for why her eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a painting at this moment, and full of joy.
I just happen to be in a good mood today.
It definitely wasn’t because of hearing Lu Qingshan’s words, “My master taught me well!”
