Illusory Body Divine Vein (Part 1)

With a flash of sword light, Ma Yuan's head was severed.

In the blink of an eye, the once arrogant Ma Yuan had his head lopped off. Lin Yao was utterly shocked.

"Is this the Falling Bright Sword Art? Why is it so powerful!"

The Falling Bright Sword Art wasn't some rare sword art; Lin Yao had seen many Sword Cultivators use it.

But she had never seen anyone like Lu Qingshan, who could execute this sword art to such a degree, as if it had reached the pinnacle of perfection.

"What a powerful Sword Cultivator!"

Lin He, on the other side, was even more surprised than Lin Yao, murmuring in a daze.

Cultivators who had lived to his age naturally had more experience than Lin Yao.

He could better understand the depth of mastery Lu Qingshan displayed in his sword art.

Falling Bright Sword Art Lv10 (max!)!

To others, a max-level Falling Bright Sword Art was profound and mysterious, each sword stroke an exquisite and peerless martial art.

How could a young man of this age have researched his swordsmanship to such a level?

Lin He's emotions churned.

"How is this possible..." Ma Shan watched as his elder brother was instantly killed by the snot-nosed brat he had always disdained. His mind reeled, his lips trembled, and he couldn't believe it.

"Next, I'll leave it to Manager Lin to handle," Lu Qingshan glanced at the crestfallen Ma Shan and didn't rush to act further. Instead, he let Lin He take care of the aftermath.

After killing Ma Yuan, no one among the monster hunters on the field could resist the power of the Fire Snake Formation that Lin He had set up.

It would naturally be no problem for Lin He to take down these monster hunters.

Although Lu Qingshan would have gained some Experience points if he had personally killed these monster hunters.

However, Lu Qingshan still handed over the right to deal with these monster hunters to the Lin Family.

After all, this was a dispute between two families, and keeping these people would clearly be more useful to the Lin Family.

Besides, he still had over four thousand Experience points accumulated, so he didn't particularly covet these meager Experience points.

Prompted by Lu Qingshan, Lin He finally snapped back to reality. He urged the fire snakes forward again, soaring towards all the remaining monster hunters on the field, including the defecting Liu Ai.

Lu Qingshan leisurely walked to Lin Yao's side.

The ripples of emotion surged within Lin Yao's crystalline eyes. She bowed slightly to Lu Qingshan, "This time, we have many thanks to Lu Gongzi for your help. The Lin Family will never forget your assistance. If Lu Gongzi needs anything, please do not hesitate to ask. If it is within the Lin Family's capabilities, we will do our best to satisfy your needs."

Lin Yao's voice was gentle, and her words were very polite, but they also carried a hint of subtle inquiry.

Ma Yuan and these other monster hunters had concealed their strength to accept the mission posted by their Lin Family on the Monster Hunter Alliance. They weren't after the so-called reward, but harbored ill intentions, aiming to intercept their tribute and seize the Lin Family's Azure Stone mining vein.

And you, Lu Qingshan, also concealed your strength to accept the Lin Family's mission. It's clearly not for the reward of thirty First-grade Spirit Stones. So, what is your purpose? If you have a goal, please state it. If they can provide it, they are willing to do so, considering it repayment for Lu Qingshan's help.

Lu Qingshan naturally understood the deeper meaning behind Lin Yao's words. He smiled calmly, "Miss Lin might have misunderstood. I was merely looking to hitch a ride with your Lin Family to Zhenjiang City from the beginning. Your Lin Family has nothing that catches my eye."

Lin Yao neither got angry nor upset upon hearing this. She chuckled lightly, "Lu Gongzi, at your age, to possess such cultivation, you must come from a prestigious background. My humble Lin Family truly has nothing that Lu Gongzi would fancy."

Lu Qingshan shook his head, his gaze sweeping over Lin Yao's graceful figure. He said leisurely, "However... now there is."

Seeing Lu Qingshan's peculiar gaze, Lin Yao seemed to have a thought and slightly furrowed her brows, "What does Gongzi mean?"

Seeing Lin Yao's defensive posture, like a startled hedgehog, Lu Qingshan realized Lin Yao had misunderstood something and found it somewhat amusing. He explained, "You're overthinking it. I have no interest in your looks."

Lu Qingshan's words made Lin Yao feel a bit embarrassed, but they also relieved her slightly. Her expression remained unchanged, and she responded with dignity, "I was being presumptuous. How could a young prodigy like Lu Gongzi be a cultivator who indulges in debauchery?"

Lu Qingshan saw that Lin Yao's words and demeanor were very natural, and her composure was calm and collected. He nodded inwardly. Although still very green, she was generally a smart woman. With proper guidance, she had great potential to be unearthed and wouldn't let her talent go to waste.

Lu Qingshan chuckled lightly, "However, I am interested in you. The Illusory Body Divine Vein, that is an extraordinary talent."

Although her face was veiled, preventing Lu Qingshan from clearly seeing her expression, he could sense the significant emotional turmoil within Lin Yao from her eyes.

"Illusory Body Divine Vein?" Lin Yao murmured, "You mean...?"

Lu Qingshan nodded, "Your peculiar constitution is the Illusory Body Divine Vein."

"What is the Illusory Body Divine Vein?" Lin Yao's eyes shimmered. Her peculiar constitution had troubled her for a long time. Her father had even consulted many high-level cultivators and reviewed numerous documents about it, but all to no avail. She hadn't expected to finally hear news about her own constitution from the young man before her today.

"The Illusory Body Divine Vein is divided into four stages: Illusory Sound, Illusory Eyes, Illusory Appearance, and the highest realm, Illusory Body. You are currently in the first stage of the Illusory Body Divine Vein, Illusory Sound."

After a brief pause, Lu Qingshan continued, "Illusory Sound can greatly enhance the power of the sound wave techniques you master. Moreover, it has a very important ability: you can transform your voice into any sound you've heard, seamlessly."

Lin Yao was slightly taken aback.

Perhaps she had displayed the first ability of Illusory Sound just now, but the ability of Illusory Sound to change voices was something she had never demonstrated before others.

Yet Lu Qingshan could identify it with a single sentence.

Without a doubt, Lu Qingshan wasn't lying to her; he truly knew the specifics of her constitution.

Lin Yao pursed her lips and asked, "Then how do I awaken the higher stages of the Illusory Body Divine Vein? What other mysteries will the Illusory Body Divine Vein reveal in the later stages?"

Lu Qingshan didn't answer Lin Yao's question directly but instead asked, "At first, you couldn't control your voice well, could you?"

Lin Yao nodded her head lightly, confirming Lu Qingshan's statement.

In her younger years, she couldn't control her Illusory Sound ability, often emitting the voices of others in her family. This had greatly frightened her father, who thought she had become possessed.

It was for this reason that her father had forbidden her from appearing in public.

After all, if a young girl suddenly spoke to you in the voice of a male cultivator in his seventies or eighties, anyone would find such a sight bizarre.

"Since you started cultivating, as your cultivation level increased, you gradually became able to control your ability, didn't you?"

Lin Yao nodded.

Following that, Lin Yao's eyes flashed.

She quickly grasped the implication of Lu Qingshan's words.

"You mean, as my cultivation level increases, the Illusory Body Divine Vein will automatically awaken to the next stage!" Lin Yao's small mouth opened slightly as she voiced her guess.

She herself had long discovered that as her cultivation improved, her mastery over Illusory Sound also became more proficient.

She just hadn't expected that after Illusory Sound, there would be further stages.

Illusory Eyes, Illusory Appearance, and Illusory Body!
