At Least Five Billion Weights Daily! Such a White Sword Sheath, Immortal Death Herb? Sixth Ancestor Descends!
This unnamed Cultivation Method brought Lu Qingyun more than just a leap in his physical transformation.
The greater benefit was that it significantly boosted his devouring efficiency. Now, Lu Qingyun could gain five hundred Fortune Points daily, which translated to five hundred million realm advancements every day!
"Although I expected it, ten thousand Fortune Points for the fourth level is still too terrifying," Lu Qingyun exclaimed, clicking his tongue.
At his current pace, it would take him a full two hundred days to advance!
There was no way he could achieve it in a short period.
Lu Qingyun closed his eyes, about to delve deeper into the profoundness of this brand-new Cultivation Method.
However, outside the courtyard, the small bell hanging on the gate began to ring on its own, without any wind.
Tinkle-tinkle--
The bell's sound was crisp and pleasant, though not loud.
"Saint Ning Qiushui is here to visit. My apologies for any offense, please forgive me," a cool, clear female voice announced from outside.
Lu Qingyun looked up, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.
Standing at the courtyard entrance was a woman in a well-fitting white dress, her figure graceful. Her name was Qiushui, but her appearance seemed to contradict her name. Her stunningly beautiful face was cold and devoid of any expression.
She held a long sword cradled in her arms, its tip deeply embedded in the cleavage of her chest.
The entire scabbard was crafted from rare white jade, its luster fine and eye-catching.
"So big... no, so white." Lu Qingyun didn't hesitate to praise the scabbard.
He was also quite willing to insert his own long sword into such a scabbard.
With a wave of his hand, he dispelled the restriction, and the courtyard gate swung wide open.
He also took the opportunity to give himself a new look.
Ning Qiushui hadn't noticed Lu Qingyun observing her and offered him a friendly smile.
Yet, for some reason, the smile was unnaturally stiff, a forced grin that sent shivers down one's spine.
Lu Qingyun remained silent. With a casual wave, a water screen appeared before Ning Qiushui, clearly reflecting her smiling face.
At that moment, Ning Qiushui's expression froze.
She hadn't expected that after just a thousand years without interacting with people, she would become like this!
This is bad. The more I look at this smile, the more it resembles those demonic cultivators I killed in the Great Wilderness when I was young. What if I'm misunderstood?
Ning Qiushui's expression shifted wildly, her fair face flushing red, then white, and even green!
It had to be said that Saints were extraordinary; they could even exhibit such colors.
"Saint Ning, may I ask the reason for your visit today?" Lu Qingyun asked.
His expression was calm. He had secretly resolved that no matter what this woman said, he would politely refuse and escort her out immediately.
He had changed his appearance precisely to avoid trouble.
He hadn't expected to be sought out even like this, but since she was the only one who had come after such a long time, it wasn't entirely unacceptable.
Hearing Lu Qingyun's words, Ning Qiushui slapped away the water screen before her, her expression returning to its previous coldness.
If she wasn't comfortable with it, she wouldn't do it.
After all, her main purpose for coming here wasn't to make friends, so why bother with politeness?
Before speaking, Ning Qiushui surveyed her surroundings and took out a large amount of materials. She began setting up a formation right in front of Lu Qingyun.
This inexplicable action confused Lu Qingyun greatly.
However, he didn't stop her because, with his eyesight, he could tell that the formation Ning Qiushui was setting up wasn't for combat but a formation to shield heavenly secrets and prevent prying eyes.
What could possibly require such caution?
Soon, Ning Qiushui finished setting up the formation.
Once the great formation took shape, she looked at Lu Qingyun and said with a solemn expression, "I have come today to invite you to join me in venturing into the Demon Abyss!"
Lu Qingyun blinked. After waiting for a moment and confirming that Ning Qiushui had nothing else to say, he asked in disbelief, "Just this trivial matter?"
Just asking to team up for the Demon Abyss, and she needed to be this cautious? She needed her own great formation because her built-in restriction wasn't enough!
A flicker of excitement flashed in Ning Qiushui's eyes upon hearing Lu Qingyun say it was a small matter.
"So, you agree, fellow Daoist?"
"Naturally, I refuse."
Lu Qingyun rejected her outright, then paused as if reconsidering.
Something's wrong. Very wrong.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Ning Qiushui with a probing gaze.
"Saint Ning, what did you see in the Demon Abyss?"
The so-called Demon Abyss was a famous Forbidden Land in the Great Wilderness. Legend had it that its bottom connected to another world!
It was filled with demonic energy and riddled with dangers.
More importantly, no one would usually go to that godforsaken place to seek opportunities!
After a moment of silence, Ning Qiushui looked at Lu Qingyun and stated her conditions and demands.
"One Three-pattern Sacred Medicine in exchange for your help to escort me a thousand zhang below the Demon Abyss."
Frankly, the price was exceptionally fair.
For a Saint, within a thousand zhang below the Demon Abyss, there would be no danger at all.
It would only consume a large amount of Saint power to resist the intrusion of demonic energy and some unknown attacks.
If obtaining a Three-pattern Sacred Medicine for this alone was possible, most Saints would agree.
However... Lu Qingyun was unwilling.
How many Fortune Points was a single Three-pattern Sacred Medicine worth? At most a few hundred, which he could earn back in a single day.
But judging by Ning Qiushui's situation, her true objective was likely far more than that!
There were many things worth more than a Three-pattern Sacred Medicine.
But if it was something that far surpassed a Three-pattern Sacred Medicine, something that would make even a Saint of the Lu Family's heart race and disregard the danger...
That would be rare...
A Cultivation Method? Even outsiders, after joining the Lu Family, would cultivate Supreme Level Cultivation Methods!
A Saint Weapon? Impossible. At this level, any artifact she desired would be beyond her ability to defeat.
So, the most likely possibility was...
"An Immortal Divine Medicine?"
Lu Qingyun asked.
Seeing Ning Qiushui fall silent, he smiled.
The next moment, the Sixth Ancestor of the Lu Family, having received Lu Qingyun's message, instantly arrived on the scene!
His voice boomed, filled with excitement.
"Don't you dare trick this old man, kid! I even let go of a big fish that had already taken the bait. Is there really an Immortal Divine Medicine?"
