For some time afterward, Zhou Fuling came to the Thunderfire Hall every day to inscribe wing patterns on Lu Ming's wrists, helping him cultivate the " Azure Jade Wings."
Knowing that the opportunity was precious, Lu Ming focused on his cultivation and dared not waste a single moment. After spending nearly ten days in this way, he finally succeeded in mastering the " Azure Jade Wings ".
Inner courtyard.
Lu Ming spread his arms, his Primordial Qi surging within him, and a blue light gathered behind him, gradually forming a pair of Primordial Qi wings flowing with a pale green radiance.
Its wings were cast from green jade and were about a foot long.
Lu Ming turned his head to look at the Primordial Qi wings, and could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, so he flapped them suddenly.
Thump!
His figure flew out instantly, crashing heavily into the stone wall, creating a dent in it, and embedding his head inside.
"Hahaha!"
Zhou Fuling laughed so hard she almost fell over, tears streaming down her face.
Lu Mengmeng felt sorry for her brother, so she quickly ran over, grabbed Lu Ming's heel, and forcefully pulled him out.
Lu Ming looked disheveled, but his eyes were filled with barely concealed excitement. He gave an awkward laugh, "Sorry for the mess, I'm still not very skilled."
Then he couldn't wait to practice again. After about an incense stick's time, he was finally able to gradually control the Primordial Qi Wings. So his figure rose up and rushed to a position several dozen feet in the air above the Thunderfire Hall. His eyes looked down on the entire Thunderfire Hall, and even the surrounding street scene was taken into view.
"So this is what flying is like? It feels so exhilarating!"
Lu Ming couldn't help but reveal an extremely joyful smile. Flying through the air was originally a skill belonging to Divine Ability Master, but with the help of the flying supernatural power, Lu Ming experienced it ahead of time.
However, he didn't reveal much, his figure quickly descending and landing back in the courtyard.
"Senior sister, I can fly!" Lu Ming said excitedly to Zhou Fuling.
Looking at the boy's excited and ecstatic face, Zhou Fuling couldn't help but chuckle. Usually, this kid always seemed mature beyond his years, but today, under these " Azure Jade Wings," he revealed his youthful naiveté.
"Yes, congratulations." Zhou Fuling nodded with a smile.
"Thank you for teaching me, Senior Sister." Lu Ming gradually calmed down and once again clasped his hands in gratitude to Zhou Fuling.
Zhou Fuling stretched her arms and yawned, but this unintentional languid posture only accentuated her already prominent and full figure, making her appear even more domineering. Fortunately, she quickly regained her composure and subtly withdrew her arms, a flush rising to her fair ears. She said nonchalantly, "Alright, alright, I'm tired of hearing you thank me every day for the past few days."
Then she changed the subject, saying, "At the beginner level of the Azure Jade Wings, one can initially condense wings about a foot long. At the Minor Accomplishment completion level, they can grow to half a foot. At the Major Accomplishment Realm, they can grow wings to a full foot long."
"Once one reaches Perfection, one transforms into three-zhang wings. In terms of speed of flight, one can even rival a true Divine Ability Master. However, the drawback is that it consumes a great deal of Primordial Qi and cannot be sustained for long. After all, this is ultimately just a supernatural technique, not as profound as the Divine Ability Feather Robe, which can automatically draw Primordial Qi from heaven and earth to replenish itself."
Lu Ming looked longingly at this. He possessed the Fire Lotus Yuan Qi, so he might be able to experience the Perfection Realm Azure Jade Wings even faster than Zhou Fuling.
"I've finally taught you. I won't be coming anymore. You should focus on your own cultivation." Zhou Fuling stood up and said.
Lu Mengmeng quickly said, "Sister Fuling, aren't you coming to play with me? I'll miss you so much."
Zhou Fuling chuckled, patted Lu Mengmeng's cute little face, and said, "I'll come find you to go out and play later, and I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Lu Mengmeng was overjoyed, but also a little worried. Sigh, Sister Jingyi is very good, and Sister Fuling is also very good. How should I choose?
"These next few days won't do. The Rain Weakening Period is coming soon, and many treasure-hunting teams have recently arrived in Qingyuan Market. There are fights and brawls every day in the ward, and it's quite chaotic," Lu Ming said from the side.
Zhou Fuling nodded, her pretty face slightly grave. She said, "If things are this chaotic inside the city, then the areas outside the city, especially near the Black Rain Zone, must be even more chaotic and disorderly. Those treasure-hunting teams are all ruthless thugs who have lived on the edge of a knife. They might even be composed of some Bandit Cultivator who have been robbed of their lives. Every day, people outside the city are dying fighting for treasure."
At this point, she looked at Lu Ming and asked, "During the Rain Weakening Period, will you go into the Black Rain Zone with your grandfather and the others?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Of course, we have to face it together with our family."
Zhou Fuling was silent for a moment, then finally said, "Then be careful. Now that you've cultivated the ' Azure Jade Wings,' even if you can't defeat a powerful enemy, you should be able to escape."
Lu Ming nodded.
Zhou Fuling did not stay any longer, as there had been quite a few things going on in the ward recently. So Lu Ming took the initiative to see her off from the Thunderfire Hall and watched her leave.
At the same time, Lu Ming gazed into the distance, looking out from the main street towards the outskirts of the city. In that faraway place, the world was shrouded in darkness, and an eerie, ominous black rain fell incessantly year-round.
Soon, Qingyuan Market will enter its most dangerous season of the year.
In the days that followed, as the Rain Weakening Period gradually subsided, the once peaceful and tranquil Qingyuan Market became increasingly restless and chaotic.
A large number of treasure-hunting teams from other places flocked to this town, bringing more popularity and prosperity, but also more chaos. This kept Zhou Xuan, the town's owner, extremely busy, sending people everywhere to maintain order.
With the situation so dire within the city, the area outside was completely beyond their control, leaving the treasure-hunting teams to fight and kill each other.
The entire Qingyuan Market was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if a storm was brewing.
Golden Gang Sword Hall.
Inside the lakeside courtyard of the pavilion, Lin Changkong, dressed in white and exuding an extraordinary air, closed his eyes and fished. The Primordial Qi of heaven and earth surged continuously around him, and it seemed as if the air around him had become sharp.
Two figures strode quickly from the covered bridge in the middle of the lake. One of them was Xu Xiong, Lin Changkong's right-hand man.
The other person, slightly older than Xu Xiong, wore a blue robe and carried a heavy sword, subtly emanating a powerful Primordial Qi.
The two arrived at the stone pavilion in the middle of the lake and stopped a few feet away from Lin Changkong. They dared not go any further, because they could vaguely see that there were golden sword threads that were imperceptible to the naked eye flowing in the air around Lin Changkong. These sword threads were extremely sharp, and if they were to enter, they would probably be torn into mincemeat in an instant.
"The owner."
Both of them bowed with their hands clasped in greeting.
Lin Changkong opened his closed eyes, took a deep breath, and countless golden sword threads hidden in the air around him entered his body with his breath. He turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man in blue, a smile appearing on his face.
" Han Feng, it's been a long time."
The middle-aged man, known as Han Feng, clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, "It has been several years since I last Qingyuan Market. The master's demeanor is even more impressive than before. I heard that you have now become True Qi Master. Congratulations!"
Han Feng was one of the first disciples of the Golden Gang Sword Hall. However, after leaving the hall, he left Qingyuan Market to develop his career. He is extremely powerful, even stronger than Xu Xiong. He has now forged twenty-six Divine Ability Dharma Mark and is preparing to challenge the Divine Ability Master in the future.
"It must have been hard work recalling you this time," Lin Changkong said with a smile.
"You're too kind, Master. I'm currently preparing to break through to the level of Divine Ability Master, and the Black Rain Zone in Qingyuan Market is about to enter its ' Rain Weakening Period.' I'd like to take this opportunity to see if I can find a Foundation Establishment Spirit Object within it," Han Feng replied.
Lin Changkong said calmly, "I summoned you back this time because there is something I need your help with. If this matter is completed successfully, I can recommend you to the ' Great Golden Crow Hall,' where you might be able to obtain a mid-grade Foundation Establishment Spirit Object."
" The Great Golden Crow Hall? A mid-grade Foundation Establishment Spirit Object?!"
Upon hearing this, Han Feng's body trembled, and wild joy surged in his eyes.
"What does the master need me to do?"
Lin Changkong stood up, his fishing rod crushed into powder by the sword energy. He gazed in the direction of the Thunderfire Hall, his calm eyes now brimming with murderous intent like a raging thunderbolt, no longer concealed.
"During this Rain Weakening Period, I will bring Thunderfire Hall, and my family will be destroyed."
His indifferent voice echoed across the lake, and a chilling killing intent flowed forth. In an instant, countless fish floated to the surface of the lake, their white bellies rising from the water.
This time, his plans were more extensive than anyone could have imagined.
Having made up his mind to take action personally, Lin Changkong would not allow any further accidents to occur.
Lu Jin, whatever you're hiding, this time... it should end here.
