Volume 8: Demon Suppression Chapter 69: Breaking the Bloodline Shackles
The flying sword is very fast and it doesn't take too long to travel a distance of three thousand miles.
But Lu Qingshan was not in a hurry. He walked steadily and slowly, returning to his mansion first.
Soon, a piece of news came out.
"Lingwu, huh? You want to use me as a sparring partner? Haha... it's hard to say who will use whom as a sparring partner. But I'm a little tired from the long journey today. I'll fight you tomorrow."
As soon as these words spread, people knew that "Qing Ge" had returned and a battle between the geniuses was about to break out.
…
Mingyue Mansion.
"Miss, your son-in-law is back." A demon maid with two strange horns on her head hurried in and reported to the tall Ying Mingyue.
Ying Mingyue looked indifferent and responded calmly, "Oh."
It seemed calm, but only she knew what she was thinking.
She has already determined that Demon Lord Honglie is the enemy who killed her mother, and she can't wait to get rid of him.
After seeing Lu Qingshan's amazing performance in the past two days, she already had some expectations in her heart - with the abilities he showed, maybe he could really seize the position of Realm Lord, and then fulfill his promise to help her with revenge?
As a result, just one day later, she learned the news that Qing Ge and Ying Jun had left the city together.
Ying Mingyue naturally knew what Ying Jun was planning.
However, when she learned the news, she had already tacitly accepted that Qing Ge would betray his alliance with her and join forces with Demon Lord Honglie.
After all, compared to a girl of mixed blood and born a concubine, Demon Lord Honglie can obviously give her more.
Although Ying Mingyue's mind is not particularly deep, she is not stupid either.
She was not naive enough to think that "Qingge" would stick to anything and would insist on the fragile agreement between them in the face of huge temptations of interests.
She lowered her eyelids, not knowing what she was thinking, but her palms were clenched together.
"Demon Lord Honglie..." Ying Mingyue gritted her teeth, hatred rising in her heart.
"The son-in-law came back alone." The maid didn't know much about the inside story.
But she understood that her young lady did not get along well with Demon Lord Honglie, and she definitely did not want to see her son-in-law getting too close to Demon Lord Honglie's people, so she quickly said happily.
"Ah...you said he came back alone?" Ying Mingyue suddenly raised her head and said in surprise.
"Yes, everyone saw it with their own eyes, it can't be wrong." The maid nodded affirmatively.
"Could it be that Qing Ge did not choose to cooperate with Demon Lord Honglie... or was Ying Jun delayed by something?" Ying Mingyue was unable to confirm the specific situation, but a glimmer of hope arose in her heart.
…
Demon Lord Honglie's Mansion.
"Huh? Qing Ge went back to the city alone, and Jun Er didn't come back with him?"
Demon Lord Honglie put down the black jade in his hand, looked at his subordinates who came to report the situation, and fell into deep thought.
"Could it be that something unexpected happened?"
If Qing Ge agreed to their conditions as he expected, then Qing Ge and Ying Jun should have returned to the city together. How could they suddenly part ways?
"He rejected our conditions?" Demon Lord Honglie frowned and guessed.
But then he felt that it was unlikely, shook his head, and said to himself: "Let's wait for Jun'er to come back and see what he says."
…
The first thing Lu Qingshan did when he returned to Jianluo King City was to accept the challenge from Ling Wu, the pure-blooded genius from Lingwang Mansion, to make sure everyone knew the time of his return to the city.
Afterwards, he waited in the mansion for about two hours and suddenly opened his eyes.
"Almost."
This long period of time is enough to provide insurance.
He slowly stood up, left the mansion again, and left the city.
Just a short distance away from Jianluo King City, a faint blue sword light suddenly rose from the ground.
It is the Wangchuan River that has been waiting here for a long time.
On the Wangchuan Sword, there is a plain black ring and a bright yellow talisman.
Ying Jun's mustard seeds and the sword talisman given by Xia Daoyun.
"He actually used two sword talismans? This Ying Jun is quite capable."
Lu Qingshan's heart moved, and he took the two objects, and at the same time probed his spiritual sense into Ying Jun's mustard seed.
Ten neatly arranged jade boxes came into his sight.
Sure enough, the blood spirit crystals that Ying Jun took out were not all the stock.
There were actually ten blood spirit crystals in his mustard seed!
"That's definitely enough this time," he murmured, very happy.
Lu Qingshan suppressed the emotions surging in his heart, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
Not daring to get carried away, he moved quickly to take out the jade box containing the blood spirit crystal and materials similar to metal minerals from Ying Jun's mustard seed and transferred them to his own mustard seed.
As for other things that obviously belonged to Ying Jun, including many precious artifacts, he didn't even bother to touch them, let alone intercept them.
Finally, he had a thought, and the mustard seed belonging to Ying Jun was flicked by him. It turned into a stream of light, flew straight out, landed on the wilderness, and penetrated three-tenths of the ground.
After all, the mustard seed contains most of a demon commander's assets, so it's a bit of a waste to throw it away like this.
But Lu Qingshan did not feel too much regret in his heart.
——He didn’t know much about the methods of the demons, and couldn’t be sure whether there would be anything like marks on those objects.
If there is, it will bring him endless troubles and disasters.
To avoid these disasters, the most important thing is not to be greedy.
He was already very satisfied to be able to obtain these blood crystals.
At this time, Wangchuan had already entered Lu Qingshan's body.
"Lu Qingshan, this guy is so powerful. Fortunately, I, Gu Yiyi, am smart and brave." Gu Yiyi's voice came in his mind.
Gu Yiyi looked eagerly and asked for credit.
"Ying Jun is indeed very strong. It took two sword talismans to defeat him." Lu Qingshan nodded in agreement and put away the remaining sword talisman.
Xia Daoyun gave him a total of ten sword talismans to replicate his body. He has used two of them now, so there are eight left.
"When I used the first sword talisman, he was still full of energy and looked extremely ferocious. Fortunately, I was brave and resourceful, and I quickly used the second sword talisman, which allowed me to successfully complete the task!" Gu Yiyi emphasized again.
"Okay, I understand." Lu Qingshan laughed.
If one sword talisman doesn't kill the enemy, then use another one.
It's really "brave and resourceful"...
"Lu Qingshan!" Gu Yiyi was angry.
"I still have eight sword talismans here." Lu Qingshan's meaning was very clear.
"No problem. If there are any such things in the future, leave it to me!" Gu Yiyi was no longer angry and said loudly, patting his chest.
…
After getting the things, Lu Qingshan returned to Jianluo King City again.
The quiet room for practice in the mansion is isolated from all smells and sounds.
Piles and piles of rare treasures were now piled up in the quiet room, shining with various colors of light.
These are all materials that are extremely suitable for forging magic soldiers. Ying Jun collected them to improve the quality of his own magic soldiers.
Now it's all cheap for him.
Lu Qingshan's mind moved.
Buzz!
The emerald green peach blossoms excitedly rushed out of the body, shaking the sword slightly in the air.
It had smelled the scent a long time ago and was ready, just waiting for Lu Qingshan to call it!
Peach blossoms were suspended above these rare treasures, and the swords were shining with a hazy luster.
Looking at the sumptuous "Manhan Banquet" in front of her, Taohua was so excited that she couldn't express it in words. She kept conveying her joy to Lu Qingshan in her mind.
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.
The sword cultivator and his natal sword are one and the same. They prosper together and suffer together.
There is a deep affection between the two, an extremely close relationship, and they influence each other.
Taohua was so happy that he instinctively felt a little happy.
"Eat it all up." Lu Qingshan instructed Taohua like a parent instructing a child.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
"Who are you looking down on?" Taohua said proudly.
It has always been frugal, not wasteful and not picky about food.
When it comes to "drying food", it is no less capable than humans in this life... Sword!
"Go." Lu Qingshan released his hold on Taohua.
Along with a clear sword chant, a halo of light circulated on the Peach Blossom Sword, which suddenly rushed out and wandered among these rare and precious spiritual materials.
"You only know how to eat. You are not like me, Gu Yiyi, who is smart, brave and capable." Gu Yiyi snorted disdainfully when he saw Taohua madly extracting spiritual essence.
Gu Yiyi, who feels that he has done a great thing, now has a strong sense of " superiority ".
Peach blossom has an amazing appetite and is extremely efficient, with a rapid speed of swallowing and absorbing.
The light spots in the spiritual material continued to escape and merge into the sword body.
Half an hour later, all the treasures that were full had turned into dregs.
Taohua also stopped swallowing.
Buzz!
"Not a single bit left!" Taohua was also trying to take credit.
At the same time, from nowhere, an inexplicable message entered Lu Qingshan's mind.
Half done?
He murmured.
After absorbing so many spiritual materials, Taohua's progress towards advancing to a pseudo-Taoist weapon has increased by about half a percent.
The road ahead is long and arduous.
There is still a very long way to go before Taohua can advance to a pseudo-Taoist weapon.
Once Peach Blossom advances to a pseudo-Taoist weapon, it will be a qualitative change.
Not to mention the three natal swords he now possesses, Dragon Bird.
Although Wangchuan is a Taoist weapon, it has lost its divine power and now only has the character of a Taoist weapon but no longer has the power of a Taoist weapon.
Commonly known as "show goods".
Therefore, if Taohua can be upgraded to a pseudo-Tao weapon, it will undoubtedly become the most powerful sword in his life.
The improvement of his natal sword will actually increase his strength more and more obviously as time goes by.
Although Lu Qingshan was looking forward to it, he was not in a hurry.
He put away the peach blossoms and took out the jade box.
Taohua has already devoured all the mineral spiritual materials taken from Ying Jun's mustard seeds.
Truly achieve the goal of eating completely and leaving no clues.
Only these blood spirit crystals belong to Ying Jun.
Lu Qingshan looked at the ten gorgeous and dreamy blood spirit crystals in front of him and felt a burst of joy in his heart.
"Let's start." He murmured in his heart.
"Is it going to start again?" Gu Yiyi couldn't help but mutter to herself when she saw this.
She was in terrible pain.
Although it was Lu Qingshan who absorbed the blood spirit crystal and felt the pain, she was still scared watching it.
On this side, Lu Qingshan had already carefully stuffed a blood spirit crystal into his mouth.
He still has some lingering fears about the horrible pain he experienced last time.
…
The blood crystal melted in his mouth and invisible power quickly passed into his body.
boom!
In an instant, his blood began to surge.
The blood energy in the blood spirit crystal began to merge into his blood, and then flowed throughout his body.
Under the influence of this force, the smallest molecules in his body began to undergo some special changes, transforming and sublimating.
At the same time, there were waves of pain that spread continuously.
Pain and happiness.
Lu Qingshan is already very familiar with this feeling and has adapted to it.
After a moment, the first blood spirit crystal was absorbed.
"It's not enough, keep going." Lu Qingshan observed every detail of himself and made a judgment.
There are changes, but they are not qualitative changes.
He swallowed another blood spirit crystal.
The power latent in his blood is being aroused, waiting for the moment to be released.
The blood begins to boil and the barriers are being impacted.
Lu Qingshan's eyes were cold, he ignored the pain, and remained conscious without being affected.
However, tiny beads of sweat continued to appear on his forehead.
Obviously, he was not as relaxed as he looked.
In just a moment, the power of the second blood spirit crystal was completely integrated into his blood and absorbed by him.
"Another part of the shackles has been opened." Lu Qingshan felt his own condition again, and excitement flashed in his eyes.
If he wants now, he can continue to improve his strength.
"Let's do it in one go and completely open the shackles." Lu Qingshan said secretly, his determination and will were extremely strong.
The third blood crystal was stuffed into his mouth.
Another absorption began.
The power of the Blood Spirit Crystal is simply too incredible.
"How exactly is this Blood Spirit Crystal produced? It would be even better if I could get more and take them back..." Lu Qingshan pondered in his mind while absorbing the power of the Blood Spirit Crystal.
Although the Blood Spirit Crystal cannot directly enhance the strength of human cultivators, it can release the potential of the human race.
For most human beings, it may not have much effect - for example, the Nine Flower Realm is a realm that is simply impossible for most cultivators to reach. So even if they can unlock the shackles of the Ten Flower Realm, what is the point for them?
However, for a few human geniuses who pursue the ultimate, it is definitely a rare item of incomparable value.
Apart from anything else, it will definitely be of great help to Xia Daoyuan.
"This thing should be of great benefit to Master. If possible, I will find a way to obtain some Blood Spirit Crystals and bring them back to Master." He made a decision in his heart.
The absorption of the third blood crystal is still continuing...
This time, the changes in his body were not as obvious as before.
However, Lu Qingshan was not disappointed, but even more delighted.
Because this shows that he is almost reaching the final bottleneck and is getting closer and closer to a breakthrough!
"continue."
The fourth one!
The changes brought about by this blood crystal are smaller.
If he did not have the ability to see through his own body, he would definitely not be able to detect this tiny change.
The fifth one!
"Fortunately, there are enough blood crystals in Ying Jun's mustard seeds, otherwise I still can't complete the breakthrough this time."
Lu Qingshan felt that this blood spirit crystal did not even bring him any changes.
It’s not that the Blood Spirit Crystal has lost its effect, but that he has truly begun to touch that last barrier.
However, the power of a blood spirit crystal is not enough to break through this barrier, so it seems to be useless.
At this time, adding the four Blood Spirit Crystals he had absorbed previously, he had already absorbed a total of nine Blood Spirit Crystals.
He had a hunch that the next Blood Spirit Crystal would allow him to make the final breakthrough.
"It seems that the number of blood spirit crystals needed by the human race to unlock the bloodline shackles should be ten." Lu Qingshan made a guess.
"It's finally time."
Lu Qingshan whispered to himself: "Come on then."
He could foresee that the pain brought about by this final breakthrough would be absolutely terrifying.
laugh!
Another blood crystal was stuffed into his mouth.
The power in the crystal thread began to explode.
boom!
Without any buffer time, a loud bang exploded in Lu Qingshan's body.
This time, Lu Qingshan fell to the ground in pain and couldn't stand up.
He couldn't help but clench his fists, his sharp nails piercing his skin, and he kept hitting his fists on the ground to relieve the pain.
"It's simply... simply!" Lu Qingshan gritted his teeth, in so much pain that he was too weak to groan loudly.
His body was twisting and twitching, and his back was arched like a shrimp.
It hurts so much!
Although he had anticipated that this final breakthrough would be terrible, the pain was still beyond his expectations.
It even surpassed all levels he could imagine.
The pain was more horrible than if someone was stirring an iron rod in his head.
Beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead and back.
At the same time, drops of dark blood seeped out of his skin and flowed down among the sweat beads.
This is the blood evolving and expelling impurities from the original blood.
There was a puddle of water on the ground, with cold sweat and blood.
While Lu Qingshan was feeling immense pain, the tiny molecules in his blood were turning into light gold, looking extremely noble.
A mysterious power emerged in his body.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
Deep inside his body, it seemed as if something invisible was constantly melting.
Finally, the light gold turned into pure gold.
The hissing sound disappeared and the pain slowly faded away.
Lu Qingshan let out a long sigh.
The power of the tenth blood spirit crystal was also absorbed.
At this moment, his face was pale and blood was oozing from his lips.
That was caused by him biting his lip unconsciously due to the pain.
"I knew that bloodline evolution would produce huge changes, but who could have imagined it would be so painful." He was still frightened.
Then he gained insight into himself.
It can be seen that the molecular structure of blood is completely different from before, and the most fundamental and basic things have changed.
All you see is gold, and there is a magical power in the air.
Lu Qingshan felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
It was as if he had been carrying something heavy, but now it had been discarded and abandoned.
He confirmed that the shackles in his blood had been broken and released!
It's finally over.
Lu Qingshan sighed.
Even with his strong will, he didn't want to endure this kind of pain again.
"An unprecedented Ten Flower Realm..." Lu Qingshan looked at the panel.
The "Daxia Sutra" on the column of exercises has lit up again.
"Now, I can already fight against high-level demon generals. If I can really break through the Ten Flowers, how powerful will I be..."
"Also, if I can enter the Ten Flowers Realm, my Yuanshen realm will also smoothly break through to the Soul Realm." Lu Qingshan was extremely looking forward to it at this moment.
The soul realm's primordial spirit will bring an extremely direct boost to the cultivator's combat power.
This level of soul can usually only be achieved by cultivators in the seventh level and a few top cultivators in the sixth level.
You have to know that he is only at the fifth level now.
This was the huge influence and benefit brought to him by his comprehension of the four true origins in the Nascent Soul stage.
The effect of the original true meaning on tempering and improving the primordial spirit is really too powerful.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan has already poured his experience points into the "Daxia Jing".
