Looking at the Liang family patriarch following behind him, Lu Yu was very satisfied.

The heart of the Demon General transformed the Liang family patriarch into a demon, merely transforming the physique into that of a demon, making the body more resilient, but without converting the spiritual power into demonic qi.

This way, Lu Yu didn't have to worry about how to conceal the demonic qi on the puppet.

After being transformed into a puppet, the Liang family patriarch still retained some intelligence and could normally execute Lu Yu's commands.

Even though he now had a bodyguard at the seventh level of the Qi Sea Realm, Lu Yu still didn't dare to stay in Beifeng City, as those targeting him were all in the Core Formation Realm, and the seventh level of the Qi Sea Realm simply wasn't enough.

Standing on the hillside, Lu Yu looked at the city walls of the distant Beifeng City; he would be leaving here for a while.

The trade with Guo Cunrui, Wang Dalong, and others was temporarily on hold, and the equipment given to them was enough to last until the Royal Qi Realm. By then, Lu Yu might have returned.

As for the transaction with Fu Mingcheng, it would not stop. After Lu Yu headed to Yunhai City, Fu Mingcheng would transfer money to him through Yunhai City's Jianghu connections, and Fu Mingcheng also indicated that he might also be leaving Beifeng City.

After all, Beifeng City was an inland city, not particularly large, and not located on a major route, so its commerce was not bustling.

Beifeng City couldn't compare to the coastal city of Yunhai City, as the geographical location led to a significant difference that was hard to compensate for through ordinary means.

Lu Yu sent messages to a few acquaintances saying that he would be leaving Beifeng City for a while; other than Fu Mingcheng, no one knew where Lu Yu was going.

Yu Xiaoman quickly replied to Lu Yu, telling him to be careful on his journey.

As for Lu Yu leaving Beifeng City, she didn't have much to say. In her view, Lu Yu should be back soon since he often left Beifeng City.

Seeing Yu Xiaoman's reply, Lu Yu smiled, checked other responses, and closed the chat box.

With one last glance at Beifeng City, Lu Yu turned around and used the Storage Ring to put away the puppet, activated the Identity Token, and teleported to the Divine Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm.

The backpack couldn't store living beings, even if it was Lu Yu's puppet, it couldn't be stored.

This was when the Storage Ring gifted by Kuei De Fa came in handy.

The storage space of a storage pouch ranged between 0.1 and 3 cubic meters, and it couldn't store the puppet either.

The Storage Ring given by Kuei De Fa had a storage space of 8 cubic meters, easily fitting the puppet, and it also contained storage bags and spoils harvested.

Speaking of the Storage Ring, the Liang family patriarch also had a 6 cubic meter cyan Storage Ring, which became Lu Yu's possession after he turned into Lu Yu's puppet.

The Liang family patriarch's Storage Ring didn't have cultivation techniques and martial arts, only a massive pile of spirit stones, pills, and heavenly materials and treasures, valued at over ten thousand spirit stones.

Lu Yu had recouped the money spent at the training hall in one go.

"But, for an ancestor of a family, having just this amount of wealth is indeed poor."

That said, it's not fair to say that, as normally, no martial cultivator would carry a large amount of money on them. Most martial cultivators, once they get money, would immediately convert it into their combat strength.

The Liang family patriarch's Storage Ring could keep so many things, thanks to his status as a family ancestor. He needed to frequently reward some of the family's disciples, otherwise, there wouldn't be much in the Storage Ring, maybe just a few commonly used weapons or spiritual treasures.

Speaking of spiritual treasures, the bound dragon rope Lu Yu seized was quite a good spiritual treasure.

The Bound Dragon Rope, a grade five spiritual treasure, could restrain martial cultivators of the Royal Qi Realm, and in the hands of a Qi Sea Realm martial cultivator, it could even bind those of the Qi Sea Realm.

After breaking through the Iron Bone Realm, Lu Yu's qi blood strength reached 1072.

The second sky of the Icefire Seventh Heaven was also cultivated to perfection, and once he broke through to the third sky, Lu Yu's realm would advance to the Royal Qi Realm.

Now, he only had to wait for his spiritual power to reach the limit of the Qi Cultivation realm, and he could break through to the Royal Qi Realm.

The Royal Qi Realm allows external release of spiritual power, and the quality of spiritual power in the Royal Qi Realm is higher than that of the Qi Cultivation Realm, ensuring that when spiritual power is released, it doesn't dilute into the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Using water as a metaphor for the gap between the spiritual power of the Royal Qi Realm and the Qi Cultivation Realm, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is like an ocean, where all life exists.

The Qi Cultivation Realm absorbs the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, refining it into one's own spiritual power, without a fundamental change in the quality of spiritual power; it is still the same as the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and releasing spiritual power is like releasing water into the ocean.

The spiritual power merges into the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, becomes diluted, and cannot be controlled or used to form an attack.

The Royal Qi Realm, however, elevates the quality of spiritual power to a point where it doesn't dissolve in water. Once the spiritual power is released, it won't merge into the ocean, allowing control of the released spiritual power for combat and defense.

The threshold for the change in the quality of spiritual power is 1000 points. Lu Yu's singular spiritual power transformed through the bipolar ice-fire surpasses 1000 but doesn't result in a qualitative change.

Because the transformation of bipolar ice and fire resembles extracting energy from the ice spiritual power bar to fill the fire spiritual power bar, it doesn't raise the limit of the fire spiritual power bar, so the quality of spiritual power doesn't change either.

So until now, Lu Yu still couldn't release spiritual power externally.

As for releasing Celestial Falling Bright Flame and Yin Ming Cold Qi, it's because the spiritual power transformed into something different from 'water', so naturally, it wouldn't dissolve into 'seawater'.

However, Lu Yu could only release but not control the Celestial Falling Bright Flame and Yin Ming Cold Qi, hence the action of 'flicking' a wisp of Celestial Falling Bright Flame.

After cultivating the Demon Fire Eye and Ice Jade Eye, Lu Yu would be able to control flame and ice.
