Returning Fully Loaded, Entering Seclusion!

"Court death!"

Lu Qing had no idea that there were people lying in ambush outside.

His gaze immediately turned cold, and with a casual flick of his hand, he dispersed the barrage of attacks.

Then he looked around.

"Not good! This person's cultivation is far superior to ours! Run!"

The few Innate Realm were originally lying in ambush around the valley, hoping to take advantage of any mishaps.

Seeing this, he was terrified and wanted to flee.

They had seen that others had already entered the Secret Realm, and knowing that they had lost the initiative, they planned to lie in ambush outside so that they could wait for the enemy to tire themselves out.

I never expected to provoke such a terrifying being.

With a mere flick of his wrist, he neutralized their long-planned attack. This Ghost Face Mask man was undoubtedly a terrifying expert above the Innate Realm, far beyond their capabilities to provoke! "Can they escape?"

Watching the group scatter and desperately flee, Lu Qing's eyes grew even Leng Yi.

With a casual wave of his hand, several blade energies flew out, heading straight for those few Innate Realm cultivators.

"Ah!"

"No!"

"Spare me..."

With Lu Qing's current cultivation level, the sword energy he unleashes is incredibly terrifying.

With their minds locked on, those people had no way to dodge and were already behind them in an instant.

Those few Innate Realm sensed the terrifying power contained within the sword energy, and all of them revealed expressions of extreme fear.

However, before they could even finish their pleas for mercy, the blade's energy had already struck them, extinguishing all their life force.

After casually killing several attackers, Lu Qing's expression remained unchanged.

He arrived at the small cave and found that the seal outside the cave was still intact. Obviously, the Innate Realm Martial Warrior who entered the Secret Realm had not noticed anything unusual here.

This is not surprising; anyone who comes here will probably be attracted by the Secret Realm Gate first.

Who would have thought that so many experts at the Innate Realm were imprisoned in an ordinary little cave not far away?

Moreover, the formation that Lu Qing set up at the cave entrance was not something that ordinary Martial Artist could see through.

After removing the array at the cave entrance and releasing the soul seals on everyone inside, Lu Qing left.

Before long, as the Innate Realm experts inside the cave awoke, gasps of surprise began to rise.

After leaving the valley, Lu Qing did not return to Nine Li Village immediately.

Instead, they flew in the opposite direction in their Golden Flying Boat, heading deeper into the Ten Thousand Mountains.

He didn't land until he was outside the range of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Then he put away the Golden Shuttle, the power of the Spirit Talisman in his brow acupoint surged, and his aura was completely concealed, turning into a wisp of breeze. He then began to take a detour towards Cang County.

Half a day later, Lu Qing quietly returned to Nine Li Village.

"A Qing!"

"Young Master Lu!"

"Elder brother!"

When Lu Qing returned to the Half-Mountain Courtyard, the Old Doctor and Lin Zhi Rui, who had been worried, all stood up in surprise.

"I'm sorry to have worried everyone."

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Lu Qing knew that their previous worries must have been quite significant.

"It's alright, it's good that you're back safe and sound," the Old Doctor said with relief.

"Young Master Lu, how is the situation in the mountains?" Lin Zhi Rui asked.

"The entrance to the Secret Realm has been stabilized and entry is now permitted. Secret Realm, many powerful individuals have already entered the realm to compete for treasures and opportunities..."

Lu Qing briefly described the situation in the Secret Realm. Of course, he omitted the fact that he had captured and imprisoned many experts at the Innate Realm, as well as the existence of treasures such as the Five Elements Treasure Lotus.

Even so, Lin Zhi Rui and the others were still shocked.

I never expected that so many powerful people would gather in the mountains in such a short time.

It seems that the fluctuations that erupted when the entrance to the Secret Realm was stable had a much wider range of impact than they had imagined.

Wei Shanhai, in particular, was extremely glad that he had the foresight to not go and join the fun.

Otherwise, he would be all alone and might not even know how he died.

"Master, I need to go into seclusion for a while."

After explaining the situation in the mountains, Lu Qing continued.

"Alright, you can go into seclusion without worry," the Old Doctor nodded in agreement.

"Xiao Yan, be good. Your brother is going home to go into seclusion for a while. How about you stay with Xiao Li at Madam Wei for a while?"

Lu Qing then comforted his sister.

"Mmm." The little guy nodded obediently.

As she grows older and becomes more sensible, she knows that her brother has important things to do and no longer cries at the drop of a hat like before.

"By the way, there are many powerful individuals deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains now, so try not to go out. We'll talk about everything after I come out of seclusion."

After comforting Xiao Yan, Lu Qing gave her some final instructions.

Watching Lu Qing's departing figure, Lin Zhi Rui and the others had mixed feelings.

They could naturally guess that Lu Qing must have obtained some kind of opportunity in the Secret Realm.

However, everyone wisely refrained from asking any questions.

On the contrary, what everyone is more worried about is the situation in the Secret Realm.

According to Lu Qing, this newly emerged Secret Realm is extraordinary and will surely attract fierce competition from various parties.

Things are alright for now; it won't affect them for the time being.

However, if the situation escalates and a powerful expert above the Innate Realm appears, it's hard to say whether it will affect Nine Li Village.

After returning home, Lu Qing activated the array around the house to refuse all visitors.

Indeed, in recent days, in addition to setting up formations around the village...

Lu Qing also set up a similar formation at his own home.

After all, as a cultivator, he needs to go into seclusion to cultivate from time to time, and it is impossible for him to go to the Jade Cave Chamber every time.

He was fine with long periods of seclusion, but for occasional short periods, he still preferred to stay at home.

So he simply set up a small array at home to prevent anyone from disturbing him during his seclusion.

The villagers have gotten used to it.

As long as you see the house shrouded in mist, you know he's in seclusion again and won't come to disturb him.

Although this seclusion was important, Lu Qing decided not to leave the village and instead stay at home to cultivate, considering the two mysterious people who might arrive at any time.

After activating the formation, Lu Qing sat cross-legged, a dark jade bottle appearing in his hand.

Yan appeared beside Lu Qing, looking at the jade bottle in his hand with surprise.

It remembered that the jade bottle contained the Spiritual Fluid from that spiritual pool.

"Young master, what are you doing..."

"The Spiritual Fluid in the bottle contains the essence of the Five Elements elements. For me, it is the best elixir, which can help me increase my cultivation."

"Senior Yan, please Protector me during this retreat. This seclusion is extremely important to me!"

The Five Elements Treasure Lotus is Top-Grade Spirit Medicine, too high a grade for Lu Qing to refine at his current level.

On the contrary, the Five Elements Spirit Liquid is more helpful to him now.

After speaking, Lu Qing opened the Ink Jade Bottle, and a rich aura of the Five Elements elements immediately emanated from it.

This caused the Five Elements Gourd within his body to stir again.

Even Lu Qing's physical body and mind felt an urge of desire.

This time, he no longer suppressed the desire in his heart.

With a focused mind, the Spiritual Fluid in the Ink Jade Bottle surged out, and at the same time, the Five Elements Gourd flew out from his body and swallowed all the Spiritual Fluid in one gulp!
