In the middle of the night, Lu Yu left his room and went to the top floor of the Celestial Patrol Treasure Ship, where he saw Zhao Tianjue gazing up at the starry sky.

Zhao Tianjue didn't speak, so Lu Yu stood by silently watching the night sky, waiting for him to speak.

"Is the night sky beautiful?"

Lu Yu slightly paused, nodded, and said, "Beautiful. Vast and mysterious, it evokes a sense of yearning."

Zhao Tianjue turned towards Lu Yu and said indifferently, "The starry sky is vast and mysterious. While captivating, it also harbors terrifying dangers."

Lu Yu listened quietly, without speaking.

"To you, the path of cultivation is much like this vast and boundless, mysteriously alluring sky." Zhao Tianjue watched Lu Yu's eyes and said, "It is also filled with danger."

"You probably don't know the impact of what you've done in the Divine Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm." Zhao Tianjue looked out into the distance.

"Starting today, there will be endless troubles seeking you out, as well as the dangers these troubles bring."

"I'll give you two choices. One, enter the Suspended City and cultivate in seclusion until you are strong enough to face external dangers, then come out. Your cultivation resources will be provided by the Divine Weapon Pavilion."

"Two, hide your identity. The Divine Weapon Pavilion won't provide additional cultivation resources, but will give you higher-level permissions, and help you conceal your identity. You'll handle the dangers you encounter on your own."

Between the two options, the first is undoubtedly more valuable. The Divine Weapon Pavilion, such a mighty entity, providing cultivation resources is enough for any genius with sufficient talent to cultivate to a high realm, but it will restrict personal freedom.

This is easy to understand. The Divine Weapon Pavilion invests heavily in nurturing a genius and surely doesn't want the genius to be crushed before growing. They also consider investment cost and return.

The second option gives higher permissions, allowing disciples with enough talent not to be limited by the ceiling, enabling them to become stronger. But similarly, the Divine Weapon Pavilion gives a higher ceiling, meaning you must walk the path to reach it yourself. They won't build a ladder for you.

Lu Yu will have more freedom, and the Divine Weapon Pavilion will invest less.

If Lu Yu were a worldly cultivator, he would certainly choose the first option, but as a player, fighting monsters and leveling up is the correct method of cultivation.

"I choose to hide my identity," Lu Yu said confidently.

Zhao Tianjue glanced at Lu Yu with a look of appreciation and said, "You've earned honor for the Divine Weapon Pavilion. This is my reward to you."

A stream of light flew from Zhao Tianjue's hand into Lu Yu's head, where a vast array of profound information appeared in his mind.

"The Fighting God Technique is a spiritual power cultivation technique I created. Cultivating it to later stages can increase soul power," Zhao Tianjue said.

After imparting the Fighting God Technique to Lu Yu, Zhao Tianjue left, giving Lu Yu time to comprehend the technique.

Although he directly transmitted the technique into Lu Yu's mind, for Lu Yu to cultivate the Fighting God Technique, he must first comprehend it.

Zhao Tianjue's transmission merely saved Lu Yu the time to memorize the technique's details but didn't allow him to directly understand it.

He estimated that Lu Yu would take at least two days to comprehend the Fighting God Technique, based on an estimation of time using Sword God's talent.

The Fighting God Technique he created is very profound, suitable for high realm martial cultivators. For Lu Yu, who is at the Qi Cultivation stage, it may be quite deep and difficult to understand.

After Zhao Tianjue left, Lu Yu returned to his room and through the information in his mind, understood the purpose of the Fighting God Technique.

After reaching the Spirit Control stage, spiritual power becomes very important. The amount of spiritual power one can control and the distance it can be projected depend on the strength of spiritual power.

When spiritual power is cultivated to a high realm, it can convert into soul power, the kind of power Fei Feng uses, which is very strong.

The cultivation of Fighting God Technique consumes a lot of experience points, requiring 100,000 points for the first layer. How many layers the top of the Fighting God Technique has, even Lu Yu doesn't know. In fact, Zhao Tianjue doesn't know either, as he hasn't reached its limits himself.

Therefore, in the information given to Lu Yu, there is no maximum limit stated for cultivating the Fighting God Technique.

During the two days on the Celestial Patrol Treasure Ship, Lu Yu didn't waste any time. With the double cultivation speed buff, his cultivation in these two days increased his spiritual power limit by 13 points.

The spiritual power limit reached 862, and under Lu Yu's deliberate control, both ice and fire spiritual power reached 431.

After a week, Lu Yu finally returned to the Divine Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm, planning to head to the Tongtian Tower to grind experience during double experience time, but a bunch of messages from Yu Xiaoman and Guo Cunrui disrupted his plans.

Some of the messages were sent days ago, possibly because Lu Yu was too far from Beifeng City to receive them. It was only when he returned to the Divine Weapon Pavilion that he received them.

Yu Xiaoman sought Lu Yu's assistance, while Guo Cunrui and others were asking Lu Yu if he had any equipment to deal with demons.

"Looks like the situation in Beifeng City is not good."

After reading Yu Xiaoman's message, Lu Yu decided to first reply to Guo Cunrui and others, fearing that if he replied to Yu Xiaoman first, Ling Yuyan would block him.

Lu Yu went to the Celestial Immortal Guest Inn in Beifeng City to meet Guo Cunrui and Wang Dalong, as the others were not in the game at the moment.

Upon seeing Lu Yu, Guo Cunrui was somewhat excited, having endured a tough few days unable to contact him.

Outside of Beifeng City, demons are everywhere. Without specialized gear to deal with them, players like him, who aren't very strong, find it difficult to make any move.

If it weren't for the protective Spiritual Treasure that Lu Yu sold him last time, he would have almost been caught outside the city. In his eyes now, Lu Yu is a savior.

Wang Dalong's situation isn't much better either. He entered the game later than Guo Cunrui. Although he started at a higher level, under these special circumstances, he can only hide within Beifeng City, afraid to go outside casually, and his strength improvement has nearly stalled.

This situation is very distressing for him. He has money but nowhere to spend it, almost forcing him to consider contacting Lu Yu in reality and asking him where he has gone.

If they couldn't still send messages to Lu Yu, they would all think Lu Yu had GG'd.

"Brother Lu, do you have any way to acquire equipment specifically for dealing with demons?" Wang Dalong asked anxiously. Now, in the vicinity of Beifeng City, the main source of experience comes from demons, which are also the main threat.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's gaze paused slightly, then he relaxed. He had long known that his identity would be exposed sooner or later. For these big shots, finding him wouldn't be difficult, especially when there's someone among them connected to the authorities.

Exposure was just a matter of time.

His identity has already been exposed, but no official forces have come looking for him, possibly due to the efforts of these big shots. With this thought, Lu Yu planned to continue maintaining cooperation with them.

"I can get it. As for my identity, I hope you can help keep it a secret," Lu Yu said directly.

Wang Dalong nodded earnestly and said, "Of course, since Old Master Lin doesn't plan to say anything, we won't do anything unnecessary. Concerning the equipment, we'll rely on you, Brother Lu."

Guo Cunrui, standing next to him, also nodded seriously, indicating he would help keep the secret as well.

Lu Yu glanced a few more times at Wang Dalong; he was definitely doing this on purpose.

Lu Yu glanced through the items in the mall and said, "For dealing with demons, there are Break Demon series weapons and Evil-Slaying series Spiritual Treasures. My personal suggestion is that when your strength is not strong in the Qi Cultivation realm, don't use overly high-end weapons and Spiritual Treasures, as they easily attract the attention of those with ulterior motives."

"Regular weapons should make do with third-grade Spiritual Weapons. It's wise to keep a more advanced Spiritual Weapon in your bag for emergencies. The Spiritual Treasures that are revealed should also best be below the third grade, to avoid attracting the attention of the strong."

Lu Yu deeply understood this.

Wang Dalong didn't hesitate and said, "Let's do as you suggest! Ideally, you could help us secure some higher-grade defensive Spiritual Treasures."

Break Demon series weapons are more expensive than ordinary weapons. The price for a third-grade Spiritual Weapon from the Break Demon series is 350,000 Points. Lu Yu purchased the corresponding third-grade and fifth-grade Break Demon series Spiritual Treasures based on their weaponry requirements.

This was what Wang Dalong and Guo Cunrui requested: a frequently used one, and a more advanced Spiritual Weapon as a backup.

The price of a fifth-grade Break Demon series Spiritual Weapon is 4,000,000 Points, plus a few Spiritual Treasures, like the third-grade Evil-Slaying Treasure Pearl, which can resist the erosion of Demonic Qi, priced at 2,000,000 Points.

A fifth-grade defensive Spiritual Treasure, capable of withstanding one or two peak Qi Cultivation realm attacks, is worth about 6,000,000.

The more advanced Spiritual Treasures were bought by Lu Yu to keep for himself, so he could only sell some of the fifth-grade Spiritual Treasures he considered lesser to Wang Dalong, Guo Cunrui, and others.

Spiritual Weapons, Spiritual Armor, and Spiritual Treasures above the fifth grade mostly have limitations in quantity, but fortunately, there are a variety of types. Lu Yu was still able to gather enough equipment to sell to them.

Adding to this a third-grade Spiritual Armor valued at around 1.6 million, the cost of one person's set alone exceeded ten million, meaning people like Wang Dalong each spent over 100 million to equip themselves.

When Guo Cunrui heard this price, he felt a bit pained, dishing out a few billion successively. Even his cash flow was feeling the strain, but he also understood that it was fortunate to be able to buy these resources with money.

Others want to spend on in-game purchases but don't have a way.

He planned to handle some fixed assets these days for another batch of liquid funds; as long as he could become stronger, it was worth it.

During this period, he's already experienced the thrill of spending money to get stronger. Now there are no bodyguards around him because his strength far surpasses those ordinary bodyguards.

More importantly, with his increasing strength, Guo Cunrui feels like he's entering a second spring in life. Things he had lost interest in have become interesting again, and life has become much more enjoyable.

Guo Cunrui's desires and ambitions are back to their peak.

Lu Yu certainly wouldn't give them the items now. After noting down the items they needed, he headed to the Celestial Wind Academy youth training camp to find Yu Xiaoman.

He still didn't know the location of Celestial Wind Academy.

On the way, Lu Yu encountered a hurried steward from the Divine Weapon Pavilion. Lu Yu recognized this steward as the one who arranged a new residence for him during the Mad Lion night raid.

"Sir, there's a letter and some items for you, left by someone claiming to be a retainer from the Han Mansion." Upon learning that Lu Yu had returned to Beifeng City, he quickly brought the items to Lu Yu.

"A letter from the Han Mansion?" Lu Yu took the items with some confusion, finding a letter and a wooden box wrapped in cloth.

He opened the letter and skimmed through it. It was a thank-you letter from Han Yaozu, expressing gratitude for saving Han Feng and Han Yun, while also showing an intent to strengthen the ties between the Han Mansion and Lu Yu. It also included a precious gift as thanks.

A precious gift? Upon reading the letter and opening the wooden box as instructed, a strong Spiritual Qi immediately wafted out as soon as he partly opened it. Seeing what's inside, Lu Yu hurriedly closed the box to prevent Spiritual Qi from escaping.

The steward, sensing the intense Spiritual Qi emanating from the box, couldn't help but swallow hard.

Lu Yu looked at him and said, "Thank you for bringing this to me."

The steward quickly waved it off humbly, saying, "No need to thank me, it was my duty."
