Chapter 1730: Chapter 581: Yangming True Master: Since I Helped You, How Will You Repay Me? (3)
It was also a chance to get acquainted with this Yangming True Master, to understand the context and background.
If he could befriend such a top-level Core Formation cultivator, giving up a Jade Marrow Gold Ganoderma would be entirely worth it.
“Apply through the sect…”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes squinted slightly, naturally guessing the other’s intention.
It would be fine to meet with the Core Formation cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect, but if he had to enter the Heavenly Sword Sect or face their Nascent Soul True Lord directly, he certainly wouldn’t agree.
However, he’s currently in urgent need of the Coagulation Crystal Elixir. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel※fire.net
If he could obtain a Jade Marrow Gold Ganoderma, he’d almost have all the materials needed to refine the Coagulation Crystal Elixir, and could ask Hong Lian to start the furnace, or wait to draw another set of skills to enhance his alchemy to the Third Rank.
“Since that’s the case, give me a token. When I have time, I’ll come to the Heavenly Sword Sect to find you.”
Lu Changsheng thought slightly, feeling that this woman could serve as a bridge to connect with the Heavenly Sword Sect.
In the future, if he encounters any situation or need, he can also contact the other party through Yangming True Master’s guise.
“This is my token, you are always welcome, senior.”
Lan Ruoxue took out a token from her storage bag and sent it flying to Lu Changsheng using her mana.
“Alright.”
Lu Changsheng accepted the token and no longer looked at her, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng beneath his feet suddenly whipped up a violent gale and vanished.
“Whew…”
Seeing Lu Changsheng leave, Lan Ruoxue took a deep breath, slowly exhaling, feeling somewhat like in a dream.
“Core Formation Peak, Third Rank Late Stage Demon King….”
Recalling how Lu Changsheng’s single divine skill could suppress two people from the Heavenly Corpse Sect, she remained deeply shocked.
If this person were to join forces with his spiritual pet, it seems that no one would be able to suppress him except for a Nascent Soul True Lord.
“The Yiming Ghost Sect actually provoked such a terrifying existence…”
Lan Ruoxue’s thoughts surged for a moment, continuing to ride her sword light back, planning to report this matter.
…
Lu Changsheng flew hundreds of miles on the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, signaling it to stop at a spot for some days of rest, and to deal with the two captives.
“Pretending to be smart comes at a price, using the Yin Yang Chart directly up close would have saved mana,”
feeling the slight soreness in his meridians and dantian, Lu Changsheng sighed.
In the recent battle, the best choice should have been suppressing with the dual forces of Yin Yang Qi Grasp and the Yin Yang Chart, sealing heaven and earth.
Then closing in with the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng for close combat, ending swiftly.
But unfortunately, he chose the pretentious tactic.
Thankfully, with his current physique at the Third Rank Late Stage, the impact of such bursts has minimal after-effects.
As long as he doesn’t exert himself fully for the next ten days to half a month, the soreness will mostly heal on its own.
Releasing the two demonic path cultivators from the Formless Domain, Lu Changsheng again used the Sealing Divine Light of the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone to restrain their mana within the dantian, then cast the Six Desires Heart Demon Technique to gather some intelligence from their mouths.
However, both were Core Formation Middle Stage cultivators, which made it somewhat difficult for Lu Changsheng to extract information from them.
A while later, Lu Changsheng confirmed the two were Nascent Soul Immortals from the Heavenly Corpse Sect.
The reason for chasing Lan Ruoxue was that the Heavenly Corpse Sect discovered Jiang Country’s spies.
They then set a trap through the spies, waiting for people from the Heavenly Sword Sect, eventually encountering Lan Ruoxue.
“It seems not only other countries plant spies in Jiang Country, but the Four Great Immortal Sects led by the Heavenly Sword Sect also embed spies and cultivate forces in Jin Kingdom, Yue Country, and even Liang Country.”
Lu Changsheng contemplated, then asked the two if the Supreme Elder of the Yiming Ghost Sect had broken through to Nascent Soul, and whether they knew about the Demonic Seven Sects.
However, neither of them knew the situation of the Supreme Elder from the Yiming Ghost Sect.
Regarding the Demonic Seven Sects, they only described the basic situation of the seven sects, with no details on demonic war engagements.
“Phew!”
Lu Changsheng rubbed his slightly aching brow and cast two Spirit Calming Talismans, suppressing the awareness and soul of the two, placing them back in the Formless Domain.
If he killed them, the Heavenly Corpse Sect would instantly know, potentially affecting his journey to Jin Kingdom, so remaining inactive would be best.
Although such a decision carries risk, the Heavenly Corpse Sect might deduce their situation and location through the soul lamp or sect tokens.
But Lu Changsheng possesses the Tianyuan Lotus and the clan records to suppress heavenly secrets, so he doesn’t fear divination deductions.
“It’s a pity the Heavenly Corpse Sect has Nascent Soul True Lords in place, otherwise selling these two to the sect could fetch two or three Coagulation Crystal Elixirs.”
Lu Changsheng cleared out their storage bags and storage rings.
Uncertain if both spent all their resources on corpse refinement or something else, they were utterly destitute.
Apart from five demonic path magical treasures, two Third Rank Yin Corpses, seven Second Rank Yin Corpses, the rest of the elixir medicines, talismans, heavenly and earthly treasures were estimated to be worth merely a million spirit stones.
“Hmm, what’s this!?”
At this moment, Lu Changsheng opened a jade box in the old woman’s storage ring, discovering a segment of withered, yellow vine root.
This root had some resemblance to the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine.
Yet it was entirely yellow and with a bleak life force, vastly different from his own vibrant, Dao-imbued Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine.
But upon closer inspection, not just the appearance, the intricate patterns on this root seemed akin to certain Dao Patterns, indicating it was extraordinary, at least akin to a Fourth Rank vine.
“Could it be a weaker version of the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine?”
Lu Changsheng scrutinized for a moment, then stored the vine root, planning to ask Hong Lian if she recognized it.
After resting a few more days, he entered the Tianyuan Lotus to visit his wife Meng Xiaochan and daughter Lu Mengchan, relaxing his mental spirit before continuing his journey on the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng.
As he gradually approached the border of Jin Kingdom, it was evident that Jin Kingdom had also heightened many sensing formations and prohibitions.
It seemed not only Jiang Country worried about Jin Kingdom cultivators infiltrating Jiang Country, but Jin Kingdom also worried about Jiang Country cultivators sneaking in.
Nevertheless, Lu Changsheng signaled the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng to slow down, as long as no top-level Core Formation cultivators or Nascent Soul True Lords were directly encountered, there would be no concern.
Half a month later, Lu Changsheng arrived hundreds of miles outside the Five Poisons Cult, activating his sensing talisman shared with Nangong Mili.
