Qingfeng Secret Realm

As the household servants continued soaking in the Body Tempering Fluid, their realms began to break through.

Body Tempering Realm First Layer, Second Layer.

They broke through all the way to the tenth layer, with only two or three reaching the eleventh layer. That was already their peak.

As they began to feel the pressure, they climbed out of the wooden basins one after another. Lu Jiuyuan shook his head helplessly, but still took out a cultivation manual he had prepared long ago from his storage ring.

"This is the Profound Grade cultivation technique, the Evergreen Scripture. As long as you cultivate step by step, you can break through all the way to the Nascent Soul Realm."

Lu Jiuyuan spoke with a serious expression. After all, he had obtained it from his own Old Ancestor. It was suitable for the cultivation of most cultivators, which was why he was giving it to the household servants.

Cultivation did not depend solely on the grade of one's cultivation technique. Even more important was the cultivator's talent.

If one's talent was lacking, then even a Divine Grade cultivation technique would be no different from a heavenly book in their eyes. They would not understand it—simply could not understand it.

As they began cultivating the Evergreen Scripture, someone among the household servants broke through to the Qi Refining Stage within mere minutes, followed by a second, then a third.

Within a short hour, they successively broke through to the Qi Refining Stage. At a glance, fifty people had actually reached the Qi Refining Stage in just one hour.

The expressions of the remaining half were somewhat dejected, and Lu Jiuyuan comforted them when he saw this.

"Immortal cultivation cannot be rushed. What it values is fate. When fate arrives, you will naturally break through. So do not be anxious. Perhaps when you wake after a night's sleep, you will have broken through."

Only after hearing Lu Jiuyuan's words did they finally calm down.

"Thank you for your guidance, Young Master. We understand."

"It is good that you understand. Go and do what you should be doing."

After waving his hand and speaking, Lu Jiuyuan turned to leave, only to receive a Divine Sense Transmission from Lu Xuan.

"Grandson, that little girl Li Qingping has come looking for you."

Hearing this, Lu Jiuyuan was somewhat curious. Li Qingping normally would not come looking for him so easily. Could it be that something important had happened?

With that thought, Lu Jiuyuan shook his head. No matter what, he should go and meet her.

"Miss, are you truly going to invite Young Master Lu to go with us?"

In the Lu Family's main hall, Li Qingping and Xiao Qing had already been waiting there for a long while.

"Young Master Lu has not yet broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, so he happens to be able to enter that secret realm. Besides, Young Master Lu's strength is unmatched. Wouldn't bringing him along give us greater assurance?"

Li Qingping said with a smile. Xiao Qing thought about it and found that reasonable. At that moment, Lu Jiuyuan slowly walked in.

"One does not visit the temple without cause. Qingping, what do you need from me?"

Lu Jiuyuan said with a smile. Li Qingping returned the smile, then revealed the purpose of her visit.

"Qingfeng Secret Realm?"

Lu Jiuyuan spoke in surprise. He had been in Qingfeng Town for so long—how had he never heard of this secret realm?

When Li Qingping saw Lu Jiuyuan's expression, she hurriedly explained.

"This secret realm is called the Qingfeng Secret Realm only because it is relatively close to Qingfeng Town."

Hearing this, Lu Jiuyuan came to a sudden realization. Then he thought of something else and grew curious.

"Does this secret realm have any restrictions?"

"Yes. Only cultivators below the Foundation Establishment Realm can enter. The heavenly treasures within are at least Yellow Grade, and there may even be Profound Grade heavenly treasures."

Li Qingping spoke with a serious expression, while Lu Jiuyuan shook his head.

"With your status, such things amount to nothing in your eyes. So tell me your true purpose. Otherwise, I will not cooperate with you."

After pondering for a moment, Li Qingping prepared to speak, but Xiao Qing stopped her.

"Miss, are you really going to tell him about that matter?"

"Young Master Lu is my close friend. I believe he will not do anything."

Li Qingping shook her head, then told Lu Jiuyuan.

"What Young Master Lu said is indeed correct. But they all believe that the most precious thing inside is merely an Earth Grade heavenly treasure."

At this point, Li Qingping looked around before lowering her voice.

"If there are no mistakes, there may be an Immortal Grade heavenly treasure inside—the Glazed Treasure Liquid."

Upon hearing of an Immortal Grade heavenly treasure, Lu Jiuyuan could not help but become somewhat interested.

He did not know what the Glazed Treasure Liquid was, but he knew that every appearance of an Immortal Grade heavenly treasure could cause countless experts to fight fiercely, including many at the Mahayana Stage and above.

Li Qingping continued speaking to herself from the other side.

"According to legend, the Glazed Treasure Liquid is a supreme treasure capable of defying heaven and changing one's fate. Its effect is to improve one's cultivation aptitude, and it has considerable effects on talents below Immortal Grade."

Hearing this, Lu Jiuyuan understood Li Qingping's thoughts. She probably wanted to find the Glazed Treasure Liquid and improve her aptitude. After all, she only possessed Yellow Grade talent.

"But how can you be certain of this information?"

Lu Jiuyuan was somewhat curious. If even Li Qingping knew about it, why did other great experts not know?

At this, Li Qingping's expression turned somewhat bitter.

"Young Master Lu may not know this, but this news was initially known by everyone. When the secret realm first opened, someone discovered what seemed to be the Glazed Treasure Liquid inside."

"However, the people who entered afterward failed to find the Glazed Treasure Liquid, and from then on, this news became nothing more than a rumor."

"After so many years of exploration, the Qingfeng Secret Realm has also fallen into obscurity, so far fewer cultivators come here to explore it."

Li Qingping spoke with a serious expression, but Lu Jiuyuan hurriedly stopped her.

"Wait. In the end, you still cannot confirm that there is Glazed Treasure Liquid inside."

"Yes, but immortal cultivation is, by nature, an act of defying heaven and changing one's fate. This time, I only wish to find the Glazed Treasure Liquid and change my fate."

Li Qingping shook her head. After pondering for a long while, Lu Jiuyuan asked.

"When will the Qingfeng Secret Realm roughly open?"

Hearing this, Li Qingping answered with a serious expression.

"In about seven days."

Lu Jiuyuan's expression became somewhat complicated upon hearing this, but after a moment, he still agreed.

"If that is the case, then fine. I will suppress it for these seven days."

Lu Jiuyuan could actually sense that he could break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm at any moment. But if he could find the Glazed Treasure Liquid, there was no reason not to go.

Although he had not yet entered, Lu Jiuyuan was already certain that he could find the Glazed Treasure Liquid. After all, he still possessed a bug-like ability.

Not finding the Glazed Treasure Liquid would be the impossible thing.

"If that is the case, then I will come to the Lu Family in seven days to find you, and we will head to the Qingfeng Secret Realm together!"

For some reason, Li Qingping felt somewhat happy as she spoke.

"Mm!"

As Li Qingping departed, Lu Xuan and Lu Changsheng appeared beside him.

"Jiuyuan, you want to go to the Qingfeng Secret Realm for a little fun?"

Lu Changsheng spoke calmly, and Lu Jiuyuan became curious.

"Yes, Old Ancestor. Do you have any advice?"

"No. It is only that high-level Foundation Establishment Realm demon beasts exist within the Qingfeng Secret Realm, so you should be careful."

Lu Changsheng shook his head and reminded him.

Although Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators could not enter the Qingfeng Secret Realm, the demon beasts within could break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. However, they could not break through to the Golden Core Realm. Once they did, they would be shredded by the power of the rules within.

High-level Foundation Establishment Realm referred to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage and peak.

After hearing this, Lu Jiuyuan burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Old Ancestor, why should cultivators like us fear a battle? If fear rises in our hearts and we dare not fight, how can we stand above the myriad heavens?"

Lu Jiuyuan's words made both Lu Xuan and Lu Changsheng feel their blood surge.

"Good! As expected of the Young Master of my Lu Family. This time, a true dragon will emerge from the Lu Family!"
