Uncle, I Love Showing Off My Connections the Most

Time passed quickly, and the seven days were fleeting.

To suppress his cultivation, Lu Jiuyuan also learned several martial and immortal arts during this period, to prevent himself from being unable to defeat high-level Foundation Establishment demonic beasts once he entered the secret realm.

(Immortal Arts refer to attacks that consume Spiritual Energy directly without the need for weapons, while Martial Arts refer to attacks that inject Spiritual Energy into weapons and unleash power through them.)

Although he could easily kill Chen Feng in seconds, Chen Feng was only at the low-level Foundation Establishment stage, his strength incomparable to that of a high-level Foundation Establishment cultivator.

On the morning of the seventh day, Li Qingping arrived at the Lu Family early. A moment later, Lu Jiuyuan and Li Qingping met smoothly.

Seeing the flying artifact Li Qingping took out, Lu Jiuyuan looked puzzled. Li Qingping's explanation was:

"The Qingfeng Secret Realm is quite far from Qingfeng Town. Even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator would need to fly for about a day to get there."

"No need, Elder Qian. Take us to the Qingfeng Secret Realm."

Lu Jiuyuan looked at Thousand Ghost King, who was following him, without hesitation. It would be a waste not to use a Tribulation Crossing stage subordinate.

"Yes, Young Master."

Now that he had taken a Heavenly Dao Oath and submitted to the Lu Family, he naturally performed his duties as an old servant. Moreover, looking at the current situation, submitting to the Lu Family didn't seem like a bad thing.

"This... I didn't expect this."

Li Qingping was stunned when she saw this scene. After a moment, she smiled bitterly.

The speed of a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator was definitely faster than a flying artifact. Of course, if they were at the same cultivation level, a flying artifact would be faster.

Very soon, Thousand Ghost King took Li Qingping and Lu Jiuyuan to the Qingfeng Secret Realm at high speed. This was tough on the Late Integration stage guest elder who was secretly protecting Li Qingping.

After Uncle Chen was injured that day, Li Xuanran had replaced him with another guest elder to protect Li Qingping.

"Is this the speed of the Tribulation Crossing stage? It's too fast."

Looking down from the sky, Lu Jiuyuan couldn't see anything below. The entire world flashed by in his eyes.

"This is normal. After all, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator can travel a thousand miles in a thought. Not to mention the Tribulation Crossing stage. The speed of such a great power can only be described as ten thousand miles in a single step."

Li Qingping said, shaking her head beside Lu Jiuyuan. After all, her father was Li Xuanran, so she naturally understood this very well.

"Is that so? It seems I need to break through to the Tribulation Crossing stage as soon as possible."

Lu Jiuyuan said with a smile. If he couldn't break through to the Tribulation Crossing stage even after a hundred years with cheat-like abilities, he might as well die, bringing shame to all transmigrators.

Li Qingping also smiled along, saying nothing. Perhaps in her eyes, this was just a joke.

After all, any Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator spent tens of thousands of years to break through. According to Li Qingping's knowledge, even a genius who appeared once in a million years in the entire Tianling Prefecture spent several hundred years to break through to the Tribulation Crossing stage.

And that was considered fast. She just didn't know what expression she would have on her face when Lu Jiuyuan truly broke through to the Tribulation Crossing stage in the near future.

In just a moment, Thousand Ghost King's speed slowed down.

"Young Master, we've arrived."

Lu Jiuyuan and Li Qingping looked around. They saw that the place was already crowded with people. After all, the Qingfeng Secret Realm was once famous. Even though it had declined, many rogue cultivators still flocked here.

"That is the entrance to the Qingfeng Secret Realm, but it hasn't opened yet. It looks like it will take about another day."

Li Qingping pointed to a large mountain in the distance. There was a light barrier on the mountain, and above the barrier were piles of dust. It was likely that some foolish person who didn't know their limits had tried to force their way in and was annihilated.

If one tried to force their way into a secret realm before it opened, they would be forcibly annihilated by the rules within, unless their cultivation was comparable to the Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, they would surely die.

"Let's go rest over there."

Soon, Lu Jiuyuan spotted a suitable place in the distance and suggested it.

Li Qingping naturally had no objections, and Thousand Ghost King was just a bodyguard, so what could he say? The group quickly arrived under a large tree and began to adjust themselves.

However, soon, some fools came looking for trouble.

"Young Master, it seems the secret realm hasn't opened yet. Why don't we rest for a while before going in?"

Not far from Lu Jiuyuan's group, there was a young man in luxurious clothing, accompanied by an inconspicuous old servant. After observing the surroundings, the old servant suggested.

"Uncle Chen, leave this matter to you."

The young man said indifferently, as if everything here had nothing to do with him.

After hearing his young master's words, Uncle Chen began to look around and quickly found a suitable spot.

"Young Master, let's go."

Uncle Chen came before the young man and said respectfully. Hearing this, the young man quickly followed Uncle Chen under the large tree. However, it was regrettable that this was the spot where Lu Jiuyuan and the other two were.

Seeing that someone was already there, Uncle Chen raised an eyebrow and then walked up to Lu Jiuyuan and the others, saying with his head held high.

"Kid, we've taken a liking to this spot. Here are a hundred low-grade spirit stones. Find another place."

Hearing this, Lu Jiuyuan raised an eyebrow, his expression becoming somewhat interested. He hadn't expected such a cliché plot from a novel to happen to him.

However, Lu Jiuyuan was not short of spirit stones. He still had the "advance payment" given to him by Ancestor Changsheng, which was one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones.

"I'm very curious. What will you do if I refuse?"

Lu Jiuyuan asked curiously, and Li Qingping also cast a similar glance at him.

Noticing that the two people in front of him were only at the Qi Refining stage, and the other had no cultivation aura on him, clearly a mortal, Uncle Chen was naturally not intimidated. He sneered.

"Kid, you'd better inquire about the background of the Yuan Family of Panshi Town!"

With that, Uncle Chen directly released his Nascent Soul stage aura, clearly intending to make Lu Jiuyuan and Li Qingping retreat. However, he didn't expect to hit a steel plate this time.

Hearing this, Lu Jiuyuan couldn't help but sneer.

"Uncle, I really like to show off my background."
