"knew!"
Lu Qingyun took the storage bag and patted Zhao Minglan's bun with a smile.
The girl blushed with embarrassment and fled behind the counter.
"You bad guy!"
As Lu Qingyun walked along the path on Danfeng Peak, he pondered, "Now that the spiritual herbs have been purchased, even though it was a zero-cost purchase, it's time to move on to the next step of the plan."
From the moment he entered the Yunxia Sect, Lu Qingyun's plans never stopped. Although there have been some minor setbacks, things are generally proceeding according to plan.
"I won't go to the young marquis's place in person. Firstly, he's not in a hurry. Just like in my previous life, as long as I send him a good book of talismans, he'll be much more relaxed."
This is not about favoring one over the other.
However, unlike Li Erniu and Chen Xiru, his life was not in danger there.
Lu Qingyun's time is precious, and he cannot personally attend to every detail for everyone.
"As for now, we should go to the General Affairs Hall to accept the mission, look for opportunities, and obtain that item from the Shen family of Pinghu!"
Yes, the Shen family of Pinghu.
This refers to the family that Lu Qingyun first accepted in his previous life to transport resources from the Beast Taming Peak.
At that time, Lu Qingyun thought it was an ordinary task.
As a result, they were pursued by the Cui family of Qiyang on the road, and killed their son, thus becoming enemies with the Cui family.
This even had a chain reaction that led to his own departure from Yunxia and Mushan's defection from the Demonic Sect.
The impact of this matter is far-reaching.
It wasn't until decades later, when the Shen family was almost wiped out by the Cui family, that Lu Qingyun realized the Shen family was truly remarkable.
Shen Changzhu is truly a genius!
The Seventh Elder, who was stationed at the family's mine, discovered a Qingyuan Spring mine, but Shen Changzhu, the head of the family, was unaware of it.
Don't be fooled by Shen Changzhu's usual elegant demeanor and white attire.
However, this person was a complete idiot. Not long after taking over the Shen family, before he had even replaced everyone with his own people, he announced that he would hand over 90% of the income from all parties to the family in order to cultivate a half-step Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The entire Shen family naturally disapproved of him, and so...
The Seventh Elder's first reaction upon discovering the mine was not to report it to the family, but to inform the head of the Cui family of Qiyang, the enemy of the Shen family, which triggered a fierce battle between the Cui and Shen families.
"If Heaven grants a gift and I do not take it, I will suffer the consequences. This Qingyuan Spring mine is precisely meant to fall into my hands."
Lu Qingyun thought to himself.
Qingyuanquan Mine, despite its name, is actually a spiritual spring encased in ore.
Consuming it can greatly enhance a cultivator's magical power and improve the effectiveness of comprehending cultivation techniques.
Lu Qingyun's cultivation has now reached the perfect third level of Qi Refining.
If one can obtain this Qingyuan Spring mine, one can quickly master the essentials of the "Heavenly Profound Elixir Technique" and refine one's magical power, thus beginning the breakthrough to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
thus.
From the very beginning of his rebirth in this world, Lu Qingyun had already considered the Qingyuan Spring Mine as his own.
Moreover, now is the best time to seize this treasure, because the Seventh Elder has only recently reported it to the Cui family.
The location of this mine is too far from the Cui family and is situated in the heart of Pinghu. Only by completely defeating the Shen family can the Cui family take over this mine.
The Cui family is still mobilizing its forces, preparing for a protracted war with the Shen family.
The Shen family, on the other hand, was completely unaware that such a mineral vein existed in their own territory.
For an ordinary cultivator, seizing the Qingyuan Spring mine would not be easy.
Because of the toughness of this ore, it is difficult to mine. It would be impossible to mine the Qingyuan Spring Mine without sending a large number of ordinary miners into the mine.
But Lu Qingyun was different; in his previous life, his cultivation had reached the level of three supernatural powers and he was half a step into the Foundation Establishment stage.
I obtained a secret earth-based technique for mining from that old codger Bai Tianxiong, which allows me to extract all the minerals from the vein without making a sound.
Although the commotion was somewhat caused, it was only the Seventh Elder stationed on the sixth level of the mine's Qi Refining. With sufficient preparation, he could easily handle it.
Just as he was pondering this, Lu Qingyun arrived at the General Affairs Hall.
People came and went in the General Affairs Hall, and the same was true in the Inner Hall, except that most of them were at least at the third level of Qi Refining.
After all, the disciples within the sect are not fools; no one with low cultivation would risk their life to accept a mission from outside the sect.
Lu Qingyun stepped forward, and a disciple in charge took the identity jade talisman. Upon seeing the information on it, he was immediately taken aback: "Junior Brother, your cultivation is only at the Qi Induction stage, barely reaching the first level of Qi Refining. Isn't it too much of a stretch for you to accept the mission from the Cloud Mist Mountain Range?"
The disciple was just trying to be helpful, since Lu Qingyun had accepted a mission from him and died, which he also found unlucky.
"It's just picking some spiritual herbs on the outskirts of the mountains, what could possibly go wrong?"
Lu Qingyun lazily pointed to Ding-25's mission and said, "Even on the outskirts of the mountain range, mid-level demonic beasts appear from time to time. Moreover, the mission you accepted includes a Thunder Essence Grass. This grass does not grow in the nest of a first-grade low-level Thunder Leopard."
"Junior brother, with your level of cultivation, aren't you just courting death!"
The disciple in charge was puzzled by the sudden appearance of this idiot and felt even more unlucky.
"Can you do that?"
Lu Qingyun didn't bother with any more words and immediately showed the Zhao family's token.
Upon seeing the token, the disciple's eyes widened immediately. He quickly smiled obsequiously and said, "So it's a master from the Zhao family. I was blind. I'll handle it for you right away."
After completing his sect mission and receiving the jade token of his identity, Lu Qingyun headed towards the market without lingering.
The disciple in charge, watching Lu Qingyun's retreating figure, grumbled sourly, "This guy must be one of the Zhao family's lucky sons-in-law!"
The person next to him sighed in agreement, "Indeed! We still have to fight to the death to complete the mission."
"Others go on a trip like it's a picnic, we don't need to worry about it."
"I'm afraid he could just find a place to have a few days of fun with some powerful noblewoman, and someone would naturally gather all the spiritual herbs and elixirs he needs for his mission... Ugh! Disgusting!"
Donglufang Market.
Lu Qingyun had no idea how much the disciple in charge was thinking; he had just randomly chosen that level D mission.
Even though the Thunder Essence Grass mentioned above was in the Thunder Leopard's lair, he didn't take it to heart.
It's just a low-grade first-order demon beast; even if it were at its peak, it wouldn't make much difference to him.
If it weren't for the need to avoid alerting the enemy or triggering an investigation by the Cui or Shen families, Lu Qingyun could easily complete any mission he took on to the Shen family.
The Donglu Market is not very big. It mainly sells various materials. This place is not under the jurisdiction of the Zhang and Zhao families. It is mostly run by some junior cultivators.
Lu Qingyun visited several stalls, disguised himself, and bought several human skin masks and some mid-grade talisman materials.
Thanks to Zhao Qingxuan's generosity, Lu Qingyun didn't even sell the pills he had refined, and bought all these things in full without paying for them.
However, for this reason, it was inevitable that a few senior brothers who wanted to make money through shady means followed behind.
snort!
Lu Qingyun snorted coldly, suppressed his divine sense to the sixth level of Qi Refining, and quickly stabbed at the few little tails following behind.
"Please spare us, senior! Please spare us! We'll never dare to do it again!"
These senior brothers immediately fled back to the market as if they were scrambling away.
Lu Qingyun had already disguised himself, so he wasn't worried about their retaliation.
He immediately used a lightness technique, changing his form several times before heading towards the cave.
Lu Qingyun glanced at his senior brother Sun Cheng's cave, which was now completely empty; Junior Brother Ye and...
Junior Sister Pei accompanied him, singing and dancing.
Presumably, he went to find a cure.
However, several meridians were severed by Lu Qingyun's divine sense, and reconnecting them would not be an easy task. Sun Cheng would not recover without spending hundreds or thousands of spirit stones.
Lu Qingyun glanced in Chen Xiru's direction. Chen Xiru was still in seclusion, but the spiritual atmosphere there was much denser than before. It was clear that Chen Xiru was not far from drawing Qi into her body.
This speed is definitely fast among the newly initiated disciples.
Of course, he's an exception.
He relied entirely on his talent and hard work from his previous life.
Lu Qingyun returned to his cave.
The jade talisman sent a message that the maids assigned to them had arrived and could be picked up at any time.
The maids assigned to outer disciples are much better than those assigned to menial disciples. Danfeng is wealthy and powerful, and all the maids there are incredibly beautiful.
However, Lu Qingyun wasn't very interested. He was pressed for time and didn't have the time to indulge in debauchery during the day, so he ignored him.
then.
Lu Qingyun activated his spiritual fire, refining the purchased human skin mask to enhance its concealment capabilities.
This is an essential item for our trip to the Shen family in Pinghu.
Only with it could Lu Qingyun act with impunity.
Especially when combined with the unpredictable Heavenly Profound Magic Power of the "Heavenly Profound Pill Technique," it can be said that the Cui and Shen families will find it difficult to point their spears at him again.
Who knows, after plundering the Qingyuanquan Mine, they might be able to make a fortune from both the Shen and Cui families.
If I remember correctly, none of the experts from either family are currently in the clan. The strongest one is Shen Changzhu, who is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining on the surface, but is actually at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Yes, Shen Changzhu was also hiding his true abilities. He had clearly already broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, but in his previous life, he always pretended to be young in front of Lu Qingyun, pretending to be at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
During the final battle with the Cui family, several Qi Refining Level 6 cultivators who intended to assassinate Shen Changzhu were actually killed by him after he broke through to Qi Refining Level 8, almost causing the Cui family to lose everything.
"However, it's only the seventh level of Qi Refining."
Lu Qingyun sneered, activated his magic power, and began to draw the talisman in his hand.
In his previous life, his skill in creating talismans reached the first-grade high level, so drawing a mid-grade talisman now is naturally a piece of cake.
If one's physical strength were not constrained by the level of one's cultivation technique, it would not be difficult for Lu Qingyun to draw a high-grade talisman.
As the wolf-hair spirit brush drew on the talisman paper, streaks of dark purple lightning instantly appeared on it.
Lu Qingyun waited a moment until the lightning within subsided.
Only then did he pick up his brush and add the final stroke.
boom!
A loud noise came from the cave.
Lu Qingyun sneered.
"This [Ten Thousand Thunder Talisman] is finally finished. Although it is only of medium grade, it is not an ordinary medium grade spiritual talisman. It is a simplified version of the high grade spiritual talisman [Heavenly Thunder Talisman] that I specially created."
"Although it's difficult to harm someone at the peak of Qi Refining, if any Qi Refining Level 7 dares to obstruct me, I'll teach them a lesson they won't forget!"
