No wonder Commander Fu was shocked and bewildered at this moment, because what Lu Jin said was truly shocking.
Lin Changkong, a True Qi Realm, was actually killed by Lu Jin in this duel between the two schools?!
Faced with such absurd words, Commander Fu almost wanted to say to Lu Jin, "Are you senile?" But in the end, his reason prevailed, and he simply kept his eyes fixed on Lu Jin in front of him.
" Commander Fu, he's dead, that's it. Lin Changkong has plotted against my Thunderfire Hall many times, and this time he even ambushed us halfway. This enmity is irreconcilable. Since that's the case, then I will naturally grant his wish," Lu Jin said calmly.
"But Lin Changkong is True Qi Master!" Commander Fu couldn't help but exclaim.
" True Qi Master? Who isn't? Although I am old and frail, I have also managed to refine a mouthful of True Qi." Lu Jin smiled faintly and stretched out his withered palm. Palm Thunder and fire condensed in his palm, and within it, an eagle with wings of thunder and fire flapped its wings, displaying astonishing spirituality.
hiss!
Commander Fu gasped, staring in shock at the Thunderfire True Qi in Lu Jin's hand. That violent and intense fluctuation was indeed True Qi!
But weren't people saying a few months ago that Lu Jin had exhausted his potential, was riddled with hidden injuries, and had no way to improve?
How come you've suddenly become True Qi Master?
Commander Fu's gaze toward Lu Jin became serious, filled with respect, after all, True Qi Master had already reached the strongest level in Qingyuan Market.
As for the Great God of the Nether Spirit, you can only find him in Fengyang Prefecture.
"Master Lu has really kept it well hidden." Commander Fu with a complicated expression. In his opinion, Lu Jin must have already entered the True Qi Realm, but he had been hiding it until today.
Lin Changkong hadn't anticipated this, and as a result, he paid an extremely heavy price.
It seems that experience truly matters Lin Changkong, who enjoyed such prominence in Qingyuan Market for so many years, ultimately fell to Lu Jin.
Once they fall, there's no chance of them recovering.
Lu Jin smiled noncommittally, offering no further explanation, but simply clasped his hands in thanks. "Thank you for troubling Miss Fuling and Commander Fu with this trip."
Zhou Fuling and Commander Fu both quickly returned the greeting.
"Senior sister, we're getting ready to Qingyuan Market. What about you?" Lu Ming asked, looking at Zhou Fuling.
Zhou Fuling said, "Since there are no problems here, I'll go back to my fourth uncle's place. I'll return to Qingyuan Market after things are settled there."
"Alright, then see you at Qingyuan Market." Lu Ming said with a smile.
Zhou Fuling nodded slightly. She looked at Lu Ming's body, which was covered in black marks, indicating that he had just experienced an extremely fierce battle. She wondered how serious his internal injuries were.
She hesitated slightly, then took out a luxurious sachet woven from gold brocade from her bosom and casually tossed it to Lu Ming.
"Next, inside is an ' Ice Lotus Essence-Protecting Pill,' specifically for treating severe internal injuries and eliminating fire poison."
" Ice Lotus Essence-Protecting Pill? That's a high-grade healing pill! Senior Sister, this is too precious, I have no need for it." Lu Ming was startled by the name of the pill, hurriedly took the sachet, and quickly declined.
He only looked disheveled on the outside, but his internal injuries had already been healed by the Flame of Life.
"You've dirtied the sachet, I don't want it anymore," Zhou Fuling said with a slight pout of her red lips.
Commander Fu, standing to the side, stared silently at the sachet in Lu Ming's hand. He wanted to say that if they didn't want it, they could give it to him. It was a high-grade healing pill, something even ordinary Divine Ability Master would find difficult to carry around. It was a life-saving item in critical moments and was extremely valuable.
Lu Ming looked at the once-exquisite gold brocade sachet in his hand, which was indeed stained by his dark hands. He said helplessly, "I'll wash it clean and return it to Senior Sister later, but this pill..."
"Stop nagging! Just remember you owe me another favor. Do you think these things are free to be repaid? If you dare hesitate for even half a second when I ask you to repay a favor in the future, I'll have someone beat you up!"
Zhou Fuling didn't listen to him say anything more. After leaving a sentence, she activated the Azure Jade Wings on her back and her beautiful figure soared into the sky.
Commander Fu quickly followed.
Helpless, Lu Ming remained where he was, watching Zhou Fuling's figure disappear. He could only put the sachet into his pocket, then turned around and saw Lu Jin looking at him with a half-smile.
"Grandpa, what kind of look is that?"
Lu Jin finally had a moment to spare, so he took out his pipe, lit it, took a couple of puffs, and said with a smile, "Good lad, you're certainly lucky with the ladies. I think even if we really end up in a desperate situation today, you'll still have a way to survive."
" Jingyi and Zhou Fuling are both noble ladies."
"It seems that the heavy responsibility of expanding the Lu Clan and strengthening the bloodline will fall on your shoulders from now on. The more children you have, the better, so that your grandfather can die in peace, understand?" Lu Jin said with a look of anticipation.
"Okay, I understand."
Lu Ming was giving a perfunctory response when he suddenly noticed that the fluctuations of the Primordial Qi in the world had become more intense. He looked up in astonishment and saw a huge yellow wind wall taking shape deep in the outer perimeter of the Black Rain Zone.
The wind wall divided the Black Rain Zone, while simultaneously releasing a powerful yellow wind that began to push back the nearby black clouds.
"The main flag on Zhou Xuan's side has been successfully released, and the mission during this Rain Weakening Period can be considered Perfection success." Lu Jin breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Lu Ming nodded, and just as he was about to turn around, his pupils suddenly contracted.
"Grandpa, what is that?!" Lu Ming exclaimed in shock.
Lu Jin followed his gaze to the depths of the Black Rain Zone, where the black clouds and rain were being forced back by the blowing yellow wind, and the darkness in the depths was also being thinned out.
In the deepest darkness, a dazzling purple light flowed, and faintly, ancient buildings, magnificent palaces and golden halls, were revealed.
A towering golden pillar looms in the distance, inscribed with countless ancient characters, as if recording some kind of extraordinary power.
There were also colossal beasts, as large as mountains, crouching among them, but for some unknown reason, they turned into piles of white bones.
There was also a grand hall shrouded in mist, inside which was a giant cauldron that emitted a crimson light.
Lu Jin also suddenly opened his eyes wide at this moment, his aged face filled with shock, clearly also shocked by the strange phenomenon that suddenly appeared deep in the Black Rain Zone.
"This... this is Sacred Ruins?!"
"Deep within the Black Rain Zone lies a Sacred Ruins, its destination unknown?!"
He was so shocked he was speechless.
Lu Ming also gasped. Sure enough, there were secrets hidden deep within the Black Rain Zone of Qingyuan Market. Could this so-called Sacred Ruins be the target of the great nobleman Zhou Xuan and the others had mentioned?
At this moment, this scene also caught the eyes of countless treasure hunters in the Black Rain Zone, who, after a moment of stunned silence, suddenly erupted in excitement.
Such ancient ruins must contain great opportunities. Among them, not to mention Grandmaster Great Pill and Grandmaster Divine Ability, even treasures of higher rank are bound to exist.
If one is fortunate enough to obtain one, their destiny will be changed from then on.
The breathing of countless treasure hunters became heavy, their eyes filled with greed.
But at that moment, deep within the Black Rain Zone, towering black clouds suddenly surged, and the black rain became even more violent. Then everyone saw a colossal figure, hundreds of feet tall, standing in the sky, its cold and terrifying gaze piercing through thousands of miles and sweeping over.
Behind that figure were eight arms, resembling Gods and Devils or demon, its power like a prison.
That's... Eight-Armed Rain Spawn?!
A terrifying existence comparable to Divine Ability Grandmaster!
Even from such a great distance, when that demon-like figure appeared, Lu Ming still felt a surge of fear welling up in his heart, and even felt a little suffocated.
Deep within the Black Rain Zone, there indeed exists Eight-Armed Rain Spawn!
The Eight-Armed Rain Spawn waved its arms, whipping up a torrential black rain that completely neutralized the yellow wind sweeping from the wind wall. As the black rain poured down violently again, the purple light deep within it vanished into the darkness.
Everything returned to silence.
But in the Black Rain Zone, the scene they had witnessed by chance kept replaying in the minds of countless treasure hunters.
Lu Jin snapped out of his reverie, his expression turning solemn. He lost all interest in continuing to smoke, instead extinguishing the cigarette and speaking in a low voice.
"The news of the Sacred Ruins in this Black Rain Zone can no longer be kept secret. Qingyuan Market is really going to be in for some time to come."
