Profound Nether Black Jade, Someone Behind the Scenes
"Junior Sister Xiao Yan, is that evil cultivator dead?"
Mu Tian looked at the fallen figure of the evil cultivator in front of him and asked.
Although the Death Qi attack unleashed by the evil cultivator was powerful, those of them who were next to Lu Qing were naturally unharmed.
"He should be dead."
Xiao Yan asked, somewhat uncertainly.
In her perception, the evil cultivator's aura had vanished, leaving no trace of life.
But my brother said that we cannot completely trust our spiritual senses. Even if an enemy shows no signs of life, we still cannot be careless when facing them.
Moreover, this evil cultivator was clearly skilled in corpse refining, so she was even less certain.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but look at her brother.
Lu Qing smiled slightly, "Since you can't be sure, how did your brother teach you before?"
Xiao Yan thought about it for a moment and suddenly realized.
Then, he took out a fiery red talisman from his Storage Magic Item.
With a focused mind, a dragon's roar suddenly resounded.
A fire dragon flew out and headed towards the fallen evil cultivator.
Boom! The fire dragon's power was immense, comparable to a full-force attack from the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Upon landing on the evil cultivator's corpse, the body was instantly incinerated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Before long, only a handful of dust remained, along with a few black magical Artifact.
Throughout the entire process, the heretical practitioner didn't even move an inch.
"Brother, he's dead."
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan reported it to Lu Qing.
"..."
Mu Tian and the others watched this scene in silence.
When Lu Qing spoke just now, they thought he had taught Xiao Yan some secret method to identify whether the enemy was alive or not.
Unexpectedly, the solution was so straightforward.
However, this way, everyone can be considered to have confirmed it.
This heretical cultivator is beyond dead.
"Mm." Lu Qing nodded.
He could certainly confirm whether the heretical cultivator was truly dead.
However, Xiao Yan still needs to be cautious.
Now it seems that Xiao Yan has indeed kept his previous teachings in mind.
"Not bad, it seems you've already grasped some of the essence of Master's swordsmanship," Lu Qing exclaimed.
Xiao Yan's flying sword technique was perfectly controlled, and it was combined with her own icy Spiritual Power.
He killed a Foundation Establishment Realm enemy with great ease.
This performance pleased him greatly.
To be honest, Lu Qing was a little surprised.
When Xiao Yan achieved success in her cultivation and reached the Innate Realm Completion.
Lu Qing asked her what combat techniques she wanted to master.
It turned out that what the little girl wanted to learn most was the art of flying swords.
Therefore, Lu Qing specially crafted a Superior Treasure Artifact -level flying sword for Xiao Yan to refine.
Over the years, she has been practicing swordsmanship with her master in Nine Li Village.
Looking back now, it seems that he has achieved quite a bit.
However, Xiao Yan did not use her natal flying sword in the battle just now.
It was just his own sword that was being activated.
Otherwise, given the power of that flying sword that Lu Qing spent a lot of effort to forge,
Even someone at the Golden Core Realm could suffer a great loss if they were not careful.
"Hehe, brother, Xiao Yan hasn't slacked off in her cultivation, has she?"
Xiao Yan beamed with joy upon hearing her brother's praise, just like the little girl who had always followed Lu Qing around back then.
"Okay, you passed. I'll give you a reward later." Lu Qing smiled.
"Really?"
Xiao Yan was even more delighted to hear this.
Mu Tian and the others, who were standing nearby, understood what was going on when they heard the brother and sister talking.
Sure enough, Little Yan has an extraordinary lineage.
I just don't know which powerful sect she comes from. Could it be one of those legendary secret realms?
Mu Tian and the others thought it over and realized that among the top sects and forces in the world today, there didn't seem to be any disciples as stunning as Xiao Yan.
After all, Xiao Yan had just killed a Foundation Establishment Realm evil cultivator.
Most importantly, she is still so young.
Such talent in cultivation far surpasses even the Direct Disciple of the top sects in Central Province.
The only place they could think of was the three secret locations that had always been kept low-key and mysterious.
Even the Holy Mountain had never heard of a disciple with such extraordinary talent.
While the others were speculating, Lu Qing stepped forward and picked up the few black magical Artifact left behind after the evil cultivator was burned to ashes.
Under the burning of the talisman fire dragon cast by Xiao Yan, these Evil Path Artifact were mostly damaged to varying degrees, and their power was greatly reduced.
The only item that was intact was a black jade pendant.
"Um?"
Lu Qing looked at the jade pendant and let out a soft exclamation.
In his perception, the method of crafting this jade pendant was quite exquisite, and it was not something that Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator could create.
Moreover, the atmosphere within it lacks that "ancient" charm.
Clearly, this is a Artifact that has been crafted in recent years, rather than an ancient treasure.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Xiao Yan asked.
"Nothing."
Lu Qing shook his head, continued to look at the black jade pendant, and quietly activated his Supernatural Ability.
Soon, a faint golden light of Supernatural Ability emerged from the jade pendant.
Several notes of information floated out.
[Profound Nether Jade Pendant: Superior Magic Artifact crafted from Profound Nether Black Jade.]
[Profound Nether Black Jade: A rare and wondrous jade found deep underground, where Death Qi is abundant.]
This jade pendant was crafted by a heretical cultivator at the Golden Core Realm; it has the effect of guarding the mind and suppressing inner demons.
"So it was Profound Nether Black Jade."
After reading the messages on the notes, Lu Qing understood.
The Profound Nether Black Jade is also recorded in the legacy left by the Li Fire Sect.
This kind of black jade can only be produced in those deadly and desolate places.
It is Exotic Treasure that has been nurtured for countless years by the influence of Death Qi.
It has the unique effect of clearing one's mind and suppressing inner demons.
For cultivators, it is an extremely rare and precious item for guarding their mind.
Those who cultivate Evil Demon paths, especially demonic Demonic Cultivator, crave such precious jade.
Because of the nature of their cultivation methods, Evil Demon cultivators are prone to developing inner demons.
For them, the Profound Nether Black Jade, a precious jade imbued with the essence of death and capable of calming the mind, was simply the best Exotic Treasure.
Even the most exquisite Profound Nether Black Jade would be tempted by a Evil Demon cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm.
However, the Profound Nether Jade Pendant in Lu Qing's hand was made from the lowest grade of Profound Nether Black Jade.
Its ability to calm the mind is not particularly strong; at most, it can only be effective for cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
It has virtually no effect on experts of Lu Qing's level.
However, these were not the reasons why Lu Qing cared about the jade pendant.
Rather, it was another piece of information revealed in the note just now.
"Created by some evil cultivator at the Golden Core Realm? So, there's someone else behind it all..."
Lu Qing looked at the black jade pendant in his hand, a hint of Leng Yi in his eyes.
