Liu Qingqing

"Don't block my way! I said this lion cub isn't for sale!"

Lu Changsheng frowned, a flicker of anger rising within him. This girl in red was so spoiled and rude, actually trying to force him to sell his lion cub.

"I don't care! I've taken a liking to this Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion cub, so it's mine now. You'd better hand it over to me obediently!"

Liu Qingqing said arrogantly.

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but laugh in anger. He had never met anyone so unreasonably spoiled.

However, Lu Changsheng didn't want to cause trouble. He immediately hugged the lion cub and prepared to leave the area.

"Damn it!"

Ignored by Lu Changsheng, Liu Qingqing's face turned red with anger. She immediately signaled to a young man beside her.

"Teach him a lesson and snatch the lion cub!"

"Yes!"

Beside Liu Qingqing, a burly young man released his aura of the sixth level of Core Condensation Realm. He then swung his fists towards Lu Changsheng.

Boom!

Feeling a powerful fist intent sweeping towards him from behind, Lu Changsheng's expression turned grim. Lightning erupted from his palm, and he met the attack head-on with a Wind Thunder Fist.

Bang!

The moment their fists collided, a powerful surge of lightning power caused the burly young man's arm bones to snap with a crack. He was sent flying dozens of meters away!

"Ah!"

The burly young man clutched his bloody, broken arm, lying on the ground like a dead dog, wailing incessantly.

"You!"

Seeing this, Liu Qingqing was stunned for a moment. Then, anger flared in her beautiful eyes. Gritting her teeth, she glared at Lu Changsheng and said, "You scoundrel! How dare you lay a hand on someone from my Flame Alliance? Don't you know who my brother is?"

At this moment, some martial artists had also gathered around.

"Isn't that Liu Qingqing, the sister of Flame Alliance's leader, Liu Yan?"

"This kid is in trouble. He actually provoked this troublesome lady."

"Liu Qingqing, relying on her brother Liu Yan's fame, acts with impunity in the outer sect. Who dares to provoke her?"

"..."

The surrounding martial artists discussed amongst themselves.

Liu Yan was the founder of the Flame Alliance, a guild in the outer sect, and also a powerhouse ranked within the top fifty of the outer sect rankings.

It could be said that Liu Yan had considerable prestige in the Lingxiao Sect's outer sect.

Hearing the surrounding martial artists discuss Liu Yan's fame, Liu Qingqing's demeanor became even more arrogant. She looked down at Lu Changsheng and said, "You injured my subordinate, and my brother won't let you off! Unless you immediately kneel down, kowtow to me, and hand over that lion cub, I might consider letting you go."

Lu Changsheng laughed in anger, but he didn't want to cause further trouble. He directly ignored Liu Qingqing and, hugging the lion cub, prepared to leave.

"You're courting death!"

Liu Qingqing's beautiful eyes were filled with malice. This scoundrel actually dared to ignore her!

Swish!

Immediately, Liu Qingqing produced an iron whip. She swung the whip in her hand, striking towards Lu Changsheng like lightning.

Lu Changsheng dodged quickly. With a bang, the iron whip tore a large rock behind him into powder.

"You ill-mannered brute!"

Lu Changsheng was completely enraged. He had already shown considerable restraint, yet Liu Qingqing was relentlessly aggressive. If he hadn't reacted in time, the iron whip would have struck him.

Whoosh!

With that thought, Lu Changsheng's figure flickered like a phantom. Before Liu Qingqing could react, he appeared before her.

"What do you think you're doing!"

Liu Qingqing's expression changed.

Lu Changsheng showed no mercy, swinging his palm fiercely towards Liu Qingqing.

Slap!

A crisp sound echoed as the palm landed heavily on Liu Qingqing's cheek.

Pfft!

Liu Qingqing spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward!

"Ahhhhhh!"

"You dare hit me!"

Liu Qingqing's eyes widened in fury.

Slap, slap, slap!

However, Lu Changsheng continued to slap Liu Qingqing several more times, leaving her with a swollen and bruised face, looking like a pig.

Immediately after, Lu Changsheng, carrying the lion cub, left without looking back.

Liu Qingqing clutched her face, which was already black and blue and swollen. She was furious, her eyes filled with cold killing intent. In the past, relying on Liu Yan's reputation, she had acted with impunity in the outer sect, with no one daring to defy her. Yet today, someone actually dared to hit her!

"You wait! My brother will definitely make you suffer a terrible fate!"

Liu Qingqing gritted her teeth.

Dragon Fall Ravine.

After leaving Spirit Mist Canyon, Lu Changsheng didn't return to his small shack. Instead, he went directly to Dragon Fall Ravine. This was because he planned to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Golden Body Art during this period.

This Dragon Elephant Golden Body Art was a Profound-tier martial skill. If he could successfully cultivate it, his combat power would be greatly enhanced!

Upon entering Dragon Fall Ravine, it was still a popular spot for cultivation, with countless disciples practicing everywhere.

However, Lu Changsheng chose a relatively secluded spot with fewer martial artists.

This was because he was worried that the commotion from his cultivation might attract too much attention. If other disciples found out that he possessed a Profound-tier martial skill, it could potentially lead to a life-threatening situation.

His gaze swept around, and seeing that there were indeed no martial artists nearby, Lu Changsheng sat down on a large rock.

"Hoo..."

He exhaled slowly, then gently closed his eyes. Countless scriptures appeared in his mind.

These profound scriptures were the cultivation method for the Dragon Elephant Golden Body Art.

Lu Changsheng immersed himself, studying the cultivation method. This Profound-tier martial skill was infinitely profound but not obscure or difficult to understand. Therefore, it only took him half an hour to comprehend all the scriptures.

"To cultivate the Dragon Elephant Golden Body Art, one must first cultivate the Dragon Elephant Spirit, then condense the Golden Body. Only by cultivating the Golden Body is it considered successful," Lu Changsheng muttered to himself.

With that thought, he decided to begin condensing the Dragon Elephant Spirit.

Condensing the Dragon Elephant Spirit required an extremely vast amount of power, so cultivating in Dragon Fall Ravine was quite suitable, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was very dense here.

Hum!

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Changsheng immediately formed hand seals according to the scriptures. As the hand seals and meridians circulated, his body seemed to possess a suction force, drawing spiritual energy from all directions into his chest.

Following that, the Dragon Elephant Spirit slowly began to form in his chest.

Ancient patterns manifested on his chest, and each pattern condensed required an immense amount of energy. These patterns, crisscrossing each other, were slowly outlining the Dragon Elephant Spirit.

However, this process was clearly very slow, as condensing the Dragon Elephant Spirit required a vast amount of power.

"Too slow..."

Lu Changsheng frowned.

At this rate, it would likely take at least a month to condense the Dragon Elephant Spirit.

However, he suddenly thought of a way to speed things up
