Chapter 49: I Knew You Were Going to Undergo Tribulation! New Book, Please Collect

Great Luo Main Peak.

Lu Changsheng looked at the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda in his hand.

After studying it over the past few days, Lu Changsheng had more or less figured it out.

This Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda would automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It needed a month to absorb enough spiritual energy to activate part of its power.

In other words, he had one chance a month to unleash a big move.

And it was very powerful. Though he had not tested it, Lu Changsheng could feel that it was definitely formidable.

As for what level of cultivator it could crush to death—

Lu Changsheng had been pondering that.

Originally, he had planned to find a mountain and drop it on one to test its power.

But after thinking it over, if its power really was too great and it caused trouble, that would be a hassle.

So Lu Changsheng dismissed that dangerous thought.

But in any case, to sum it all up, he had somehow obtained another treasure for no reason at all.

And they were both defensive treasures, which was excellent.

After all, Lu Changsheng did not particularly like offensive magic treasures. His cultivation realm was what it was—so what if he were given a Peerless Immortal Sword?

If he could not even bring out one ten-thousandth of its power, what use was it?

There was a saying that was quite right.

The size that suited you was the best.

Defensive magic treasures were different. Though his realm was low, the material was there. It did not matter whether he could activate them or not; he could just hide inside the tower.

And so, the days passed one by one.

Lu Changsheng had been very busy these past few days.

Whenever he had time, he would go read. After all, before traveling ten thousand miles, one still needed to read ten thousand books.

Reading more books could never put one at a disadvantage.

If he had not read seriously before transmigrating, would he have been able to recite the Tao Te Ching?

And he read every kind of book.

"How to Play Dead Without Being Found Out"

"These Foods Must Not Be Eaten Carelessly, Otherwise You Will—"

"Shocking! Shocking! A Hundred-Degree Boiling Water Cannot Be Drunk Directly at the Qi Refinement Realm, or It Will Still Scald Your Mouth"

"How to Avoid Elders Asking Whether You Have Savings, a Home, and How Much Your Monthly Stipend Is During the Yuanyang Festival?"—

Though the books were rather miscellaneous, reading more was never wrong.

It was not just reading, either. During this period, Lu Changsheng would occasionally check on how the pills were being refined.

At the same time, he would cultivate Dao techniques in seclusion.

In the end, time flew like a white colt passing through a crevice. In the blink of an eye, the day of departure was almost upon them.

Great Luo Holy Land.

Inside Great Luo Palace.

The only people in the entire hall were Lu Changsheng and Qingyun Daoist.

"Changsheng, you are leaving tomorrow. As your master, I truly cannot bear to part with you."

Qingyun Daoist looked at Lu Changsheng, his voice sorrowful.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng could not help but clasp his hands in salute.

"Since Master is so reluctant to part with me, then this disciple will not leave. I will stay here and keep Master company."

The moment he said this, Qingyun Daoist froze. He did not even know how to continue with what he had planned to say.

He had merely been polite. He had not expected Lu Changsheng to be so direct.

"Disciple, your master is also reluctant to see you go. But when Heaven entrusts a great duty to a man, it must first strain his muscles and bones. You were born extraordinary. Some paths are destined for you to walk. Your master aches for you, but for the sake of all living beings, I can only part with what I love through gritted teeth."

Qingyun Daoist came up with another line of reasoning.

"Master, this disciple has no other thoughts regarding this trip down the mountain. I have only one request. Might Master agree to it?" Lu Changsheng asked.

"Not to mention one—if it were ten, your master would agree to them all," Qingyun Daoist said decisively.

"I want to wait another eight or ten years before going down the mountain. Is that alright?" Lu Changsheng asked.

Qingyun Daoist: ""

He was somewhat bewildered. Though the outside world was dangerous, the righteous path was flourishing now, and there were no demons or monsters to speak of. He truly did not understand why Lu Changsheng was unwilling to go down the mountain.

"Changsheng, your temperament is indeed overly steady and cautious. But the immortal path is cruel. Being careful is all well and good, yet in the end, one must possess an Invincible Heart. Otherwise, such caution becomes a lack of confidence! If you were at the Golden Core or Nascent Soul realm, I could understand, but you should have reached Spirit Transformation by now, right?"

"Changsheng, tell your master seriously—what realm are you truly at?"

Qingyun Daoist said earnestly, speaking from the bottom of his heart.

"This disciple is currently at Qi Training Mid-Stage!"

Lu Changsheng answered seriously.

Yet the moment he said this—

Qingyun Daoist immediately sighed.

"Changsheng, I truly never expected that even after I bared my heart and soul to you, you still would not tell your master the truth."

Qingyun Daoist wore a face full of sorrow, disappointment showing in his eyes. Especially with his back turned to Lu Changsheng, he looked utterly desolate and forlorn.

"Master, this disciple truly is at Qi Training Mid-Stage!"

Lu Changsheng was genuinely helpless. Why did no one ever believe him when he told the truth?

Yet Qingyun Daoist said nothing. He merely stood with his back to Lu Changsheng and sighed.

Before long, Lu Changsheng sighed as well.

"Fine. Actually, I've already transcended tribulation!"

Lu Changsheng said.

At once, Qingyun Daoist turned around, his face brimming with delight as he exclaimed joyfully.

"I knew you had already transcended tribulation! Hahahaha! As expected of my beloved disciple, hahahaha! Good, good, good! My legacy has a successor—my legacy has a successor!"

The smile on Qingyun Daoist's face was incomparably radiant.

But Lu Changsheng could not help letting out a deep sigh.

Still, he could understand. This world was simply that strange.

Once one's looks reached a certain level, no matter what one did, one could not change other people's misunderstandings.

Sure enough, the prejudices in people's hearts were like a great mountain—no matter how hard you tried, you could never move it.

Lu Changsheng left Great Luo Palace.

He left in disappointment.

Heh, this damned world that judged by faces.

Ptooey!

He would be going down the mountain tomorrow.

Lu Changsheng still needed to prepare a few things.

A thousand Vajra Glazed Pills, a thousand Fire Phoenix True Blood Pills, a thousand Enlightenment Pills, and a thousand Pure Land Subduing Demon Pills.

It had to be said that Li Chun was reliable in his work. He said a thousand pills, and he delivered exactly a thousand pills.

With these thousand Pure Land Subduing Demon Pills, along with the Twelfth Grade Green Lotus and the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda, Lu Changsheng did feel somewhat reassured.

Though he was cautious by nature, Lu Changsheng was not someone who clung to life and feared death.

If he truly encountered danger, at worst he would sacrifice a little dignity.

However, this journey out—

Had two routes.

One was the main route. Many holy lands had obtained the map, and everyone in the world would know about it.

The other was a hidden route, known only to Lu Changsheng and Qingyun Daoist. This hidden route was completely different from the main route, but its effect was the same.

Qingyun Daoist had already given Lu Changsheng the Clearance Certificate. When the time came, only the certificate and the Great Luo Ancient Token would be recognized.

In other words, even if someone wanted to deceive them, it would be very difficult to do so.

And just as Lu Changsheng was carefully making preparations—

A guest arrived.

It was Ziyun!
