Miaoyin Wants to Come Along
Qingzhang Mountain.
In recent days, Lu Qingfeng hired people to carve out several cave abode and build several buildings deep inside the area.
The three siblings settled here.
This place isn't far from Miaoyin City, and it's also close to the surrounding counties. Whether Lu Qingshan or Lu Qingyu gets tired of staying in the mountains, they can go to the city for a stroll.
If we're talking about spiritual cultivation, the quiet mountains are far more suitable. The city is noisy and dazzling, a good place for relaxation, but not for spiritual practice.
Lu Qingfeng spends his days either cultivating or playing games, and rarely goes out.
The only inconvenience in the mountains is transporting the various materials for crafting the puppets, which adds considerable difficulty. But money talks, and as long as you can afford it, none of these are problems.
This day.
As dawn broke, Lu Qingfeng sat cross-legged in front of a stone house, practicing his internal energy in the Morning Sun. Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu sat in meditation on either side of him.
Two hours later, when the sun was high in the sky, Lu Qingfeng felt a stinging pain in his meridians and stopped cultivating.
Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu also got up and opened their eyes, asking their elder brother about the doubts they had been pondering during their cultivation.
Lu Qingfeng has extensive cultivation experience in the game, especially since the fourth incarnation. He established the Azure Origin Sword Sect on Fufeng Mountain and often instructed as many as fifty or sixty disciples.
Lu Qingfeng had encountered the questions the two asked to some extent, and he explained them thoroughly in just a few words.
Both Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu had extremely poor Root Bone and average comprehension. If it weren't for Lu Qingfeng's patient explanations and clarifications, even with the help of elixirs, their cultivation would have stagnated.
During the explanation.
A dark shadow flickered in the sky, and a graceful figure descended—it was the Daoist Miaoyin, who had arrived riding Two-Headed Wu.
"You're living a carefree life, aren't you, as a hands-off boss!"
Daoist Miaoyin was carrying a black package. When he saw Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu gathered in front of Lu Qingfeng, a trace of envy and reminiscence flashed in his eyes, which then dimmed.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you these past few days, Lord City Lord."
When Lu Qingfeng saw Daoist Miaoyin arrive, he stood up and smiled.
In the past five months, his relationship with Daoist Miaoyin has not been interrupted by his departure from Miaoyin City; on the contrary, it has become even closer.
Firstly, it was because Daoist Miaoyin was trying to curry favor, and secondly, Lu Qingfeng also needed the help of someone as influential as Daoist Miaoyin.
The two hit it off immediately, and their friendship progressed rapidly.
Not only was the collection of various materials for alchemy and weapon crafting handled by Master Miaoyin, but even the bounty system for hunting down experts of the War God Society was also overseen by Daoist Miaoyin.
Lu Qingfeng simply took out pills and Talisman Artifact as rewards, without expending any effort whatsoever.
The collaboration went quite smoothly.
"City Lord."
"Sister City Lord!"
Lu Qingshan looked reserved and called out softly behind his elder brother. He had not experienced as much as Lu Qingfeng, and when he saw a top figure in Shangyang Country like Daoist Miaoyin, who was also so beautiful, he was always too shy to look directly at her.
In contrast, Lu Qingyu.
At first, Lu Qingyu felt a slight hostility towards Daoist Miaoyin, whose allegiance was unknown and who harbored ulterior motives towards her elder brother. However, as they spent more time together, Daoist Miaoyin learned what the little girl liked, and after several encounters, Lu Qingyu and Daoist Miaoyin became more familiar with each other than Lu Qingfeng and Daoist Miaoyin.
Lu Qingfeng was aloof, but she didn't want her sister to be like her, so she wasn't opposed to it.
Daoist Miaoyin smiled at the two of them, then tossed the package in his hand onto the ground. A smell of lime mixed with the stench of blood wafted from the package.
"Whose is it this time?"
Lu Qingfeng didn't even look at it, and directly asked the Daoist Miaoyin.
"Duan Zhang."
Daoist Miaoyin taunted, "You're really going to have to spend a lot this time. Second-Rank Talisman Artifact with power comparable to Fourth-Rank Talisman Artifact, and a top-grade Qi Qi-Gathering Pill —in this wretched place Shangyang Country, they're all priceless!"
"Duan Zhang?"
Lu Qingfeng ignored Daoist Miaoyin's teasing. A Sword-Ray shot from his fingertip, piercing through the package, revealing a head that had been treated with lime. Judging from its appearance, it was indeed identical to the legendary Thunder War God of War God Society Duan Zhang of the War God Society.
Upon seeing his severed head, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Compared to Duan Zhang's head, the Second-Rank Talisman Artifact and Qi-Gathering Pill, though precious, are within an acceptable range. If Wang Yan can also be killed, besides Duan Zhang, then there will truly be no future troubles.
Thinking of Wang Yan, Lu Qingfeng asked, "Duan Zhang is already at the Late True Qi Realm. There are very few people in Shangyang Country who can kill him. I wonder which elder made the move?"
Within the territory of Shangyang Country, those at the Late True Qi Realm are considered top experts.
For example, Zhuge Chongyang, the sect leader of the Return to Truth Sect, had Seventh Layer of the True Qi Realm, yet he occupied three counties and enslaved the region, with no one daring to resist.
The three War God of the War God Society are renowned for their power and are all at the Late True Qi Realm.
The one who could kill Duan Zhang must be one of the most skilled fighters in Shangyang Country.
"It was a joint effort by two of the top experts from Shanggu Commandery."
The Daoist Miaoyin replied.
"I see."
Lu Qingfeng nodded immediately upon hearing this.
In Shanggu Commandery, two powerful Lineage rival each other. Among them, Murong Qi, the patriarch of the Murong Lineage, and Zhang Xinzong, the patriarch of the Shanggu Zhang Lineage, are both renowned experts in the Late True Qi Realm.
As various martial arts masters obtained Talisman Artifact and elixirs from Miaoyin City, their cultivation levels broke through and their combat power greatly increased.
These two finally couldn't sit still any longer.
With a single move, he killed Duan Zhang.
Where is Wang Yan?
Lu Qingfeng asked again.
Since Murong Qi and Zhang Xinzong have joined forces to kill Duan Zhang, they certainly wouldn't mind killing Wang Yan as well.
"Wang Yan's head is probably gone. Some people say they saw Wang Yan enter the Weeping Marsh, probably because he heard the news of Duan Zhang's death and dared not stay in Shangyang Country any longer."
Daoist Miaoyin smiled, pursing her lips.
Really.
Wang Yan is now a walking Talisman Artifact and elixir. Once he shows his face, ordinary people dare not confront him, but he will quickly attract experts from all walks of life. Top experts in the Late True Qi Realm are rare in Shangyang Country, but there are quite a few experts in the True Qi Middle Stage.
Even if they join forces, they can still pose a threat to him.
So I plunged headlong into the Weeping Marsh, Life and Death to chance! If I'm lucky enough to cross the Weeping Marsh, perhaps I'll find a different destiny.
"What a pity."
Lu Qingfeng shook his head.
The Weeping Marsh is shrouded in mist, making finding Wang Yan's whereabouts like searching for a needle in Ocean; Wang Yan narrowly escaped with his life. However, the Weeping Marsh is no safe haven; venturing in rashly would offer little chance of survival. Even if Wang Yan were incredibly lucky and managed to cross the Weeping Marsh, Lu Qingfeng wouldn't fear him then.
"I am Qingfeng grateful for the Lord's hard work these past few days."
The feud War God Society was finally over with Duan Zhang's death and Wang Yan's escape into the Weeping Marsh. Lu Qingfeng sincerely thanked Daoist Miaoyin for her considerable help in this matter.
"If you really want to thank me, just take me with you when you leave Shangyang Country in the future." Daoist Miaoyin stared at Lu Qingfeng, unusually serious.
"Is the city lord so certain that Qingfeng will leave Shangyang Country?"
Seeing the expression on Daoist Miaoyin's face, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but ask.
Daoist Miaoyin simply looked at Lu Qingfeng without saying a word.
She was certainly certain.
For true cultivators, Shangyang Country is nothing more than a tiny place.
In the Spirit-Severing Land, it's even more impossible to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. Lu Qingfeng is proficient in alchemy and weapon crafting; anyone with ambition would not be content to grow old and die in the Shangyang Country.
Leaving Shangyang Country and heading to the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers was inevitable.
To reach the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers, one must cross the Weeping Marsh. No one in the entire Shangyang Country understands the dangers of the Weeping Marsh better than Daoist Miaoyin. Lu Qingfeng can craft puppets; following him is far safer than her going alone.
