Three days later, in a hall of the Thunder Palace.
"Master, this disciple is useless. I deserve to die. Please punish me!"
Xue Chao knelt on the ground, his body trembling.
The recovery ability of a King was extremely frightening. In three days, Xue Chao's injuries were almost healed. However, the side effects of the Exploding Yuan Pill were not so easily healed. His face was still pale, and his aura was unstable.
Beside Xue Chao stood Qiu Changkong, who was keeping quiet out of fear.
The Thunder Palace Master sat at the top, his face extremely gloomy. Waves of killing intent were emitted from his body. "You are indeed a piece of trash. You are a King, but you actually lost to a Half step King. You have brought shame to your master!"
The Thunder Palace Master's cold voice resounded. The killing intent on his body became even denser, causing Xue Chao's body to tremble even more.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely stifling.
After a while, the Thunder Palace Master's voice resounded again, "However, it is not entirely your fault. Lu Ming, that little bastard's talent is indeed rare. It far surpasses ordinary geniuses. Even I was shocked."
"Master, are we going to let that bastard Lu Ming off just like that and let him continue to be arrogant?"
Qiu Changkong said unwillingly.
"Of course not. That little bastard Lu Ming won't be able to live for long."
The Thunder Palace Master smiled eerily.
Qiu Changkong and Xue Chao's eyes lit up. Qiu Changkong hurriedly said, "Master, are you going to personally kill that bastard Lu Ming?"
"Stupid!"
The Thunder Palace Master scolded, causing Qiu Changkong's face to turn pale.
"That little bastard Lu Ming is very smart. A few days ago, he sold the Sword-shaped Grass to Old Feng and the others at a low price. It seemed like he suffered a loss, but he actually made a huge profit. At the same time, he won the favor of the three Palace Masters. Now, those three old fellows favor Lu Ming a lot. If I were to personally kill him, not only would I become a laughingstock, those three old fellows would also make things difficult for me. Why would I do such an unwise thing?"
The Thunder Palace Master said.
"Then, how does master plan to deal with Lu Ming?"
Xue Chao asked cautiously.
"Lu Ming has joined the Empyrean Divine Guards for a period of time. Everyone who joins the Empyrean Divine Guards for a period of time must complete a mission for the Empyrean Divine Palace. This is the duty of every Empyrean Divine Guard."
The Thunder Palace Master said slowly.
Qiu Changkong and Xue Chao's eyes lit up.
"Master wants to tamper with this mission?"
Xue Chao asked.
"Hehe, that's right. When the time comes, I will arrange a special mission for Lu Ming. As long as he dies in this mission, no one will suspect anything. Even if they suspect something, they will have no reason to make trouble for me."
Thunder Palace Master sneered.
"Master is wise!"
Qiu Changkong and Xue Chao were overjoyed, bowing deeply to the Lightning Temple Master.
"Yes, Changkong. I know that you have old grudges with Lu Ming. The matters in your hometown, the Burning Sun Empire, have not been completely settled yet. After Lu Ming accepts that mission, you should return to the Burning Sun Empire and settle the matters there. Chao 'er, go with Changkong and assist him."
Thunder Palace Master instructed.
"Thank you, Master!"
Qiu Changkong was naturally overjoyed and thanked the Thunder Palace Master.
However, in the next moment, he revealed a worried expression and said, "Master, Lu Ming is a lucky guy. He can always turn danger into safety. This disciple is worried that if Lu Ming is lucky enough to survive and knows that I returned to the Burning Sun Empire to deal with his family and friends, he might directly kill his way to the Burning Sun Empire …"
Now, Qiu Changkong was really scared of Lu Ming. He was scared to death.
If Lu Ming didn't die and knew that he went back to deal with his family and friends, he would really be finished.
Seeing Qiu Changkong's cowardly appearance, disappointment flashed across the Thunder Palace Master's eyes. He snorted coldly and said, "Are you doubting my arrangements?"
Qiu Changkong's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly knelt down and said, "This disciple doesn't dare. This disciple doesn't dare."
"Alright, let me tell you. I have already arranged everything perfectly. When Lu Ming is carrying out the mission, I will also find a way to let Lu Ming know that you have returned to the Burning Sun Empire to deal with his family. If he is lucky enough to survive and returns to the Burning Sun Empire, then he will really be dead."
The Thunder Palace Master smiled proudly.
"So Master has already made arrangements. This disciple has been overthinking. This disciple admires Master's ability to devise strategies."
Qiu Changkong was overjoyed and flattered his master.
"Haha, alright. You guys just wait for the news. As long as Lu Ming accepts the mission and leaves, you guys can also leave."
The Thunder Palace Master laughed proudly.
.....
Lu Ming was still refining his True Yuan.
It had already been seven days. This time, Lu Ming had refined his True Yuan for seven days.
In seven days, Lu Ming had used up a total of fifty thousand Peak Grade Spiritual Crystals.
After using fifty thousand Peak Grade Spiritual Crystals, Lu Ming finally converted his True Yuan to ninety-nine percent. In his body, ninety-nine percent was True Yuan, and only one percent was True Qi.
However, no matter how much Lu Ming refined his True Yuan, the last one percent had no effect at all.
"Indeed, I need to break through to Martial King before my True Yuan can reach one hundred percent perfection."
Lu Ming sighed.
Under Martial King, one could not refine their True Yuan to one hundred percent.
Although it was only a one percent difference, the difference in strength was huge.
One hundred percent meant perfection. It was as smooth as one, and there was no obstruction in the circulation.
As for ninety-nine percent, it meant that there were impurities. The circulation and eruption of True Yuan would not be smooth, and there would be obstacles.
"Now, as long as I can condense a Intent Talisman for one of the intents, I can break through to Martial King."
Lu Ming pondered.
Of the three intents, as long as one of them was broken through, Lu Ming could break through to Martial King.
After breaking through to Martial King, it would be easier to cultivate the other two intents.
"Let's start with the Intent of Thunder!"
Ever since the Thunder Cauldron flew into Lu Ming's sea of consciousness, Lu Ming felt like he was bathing in an ocean of Intent of Thunder. He had a new understanding of Intent of Thunder at all times.
His Intent of Thunder had advanced by leaps and bounds.
Now, among the three intents of Wind, Fire, and Thunder, the Intent of Thunder had become the intent that Lu Ming had the deepest understanding of.
Lu Ming closed his eyes, and his consciousness appeared in his sea of consciousness. He looked at the incomparably huge Thunder Cauldron.
The Thunder Cauldron had not moved during this period, but it kept emitting powerful Intent of Thunder.
Immediately, Lu Ming started to comprehend it.
His understanding of Intent of Thunder deepened, and he was getting closer to being able to condense Intent Talismans.
As long as he comprehended a certain intent to a certain extent, he would be able to materialize the intent and condense it into a Intent Talisman.
In the blink of an eye, another eight days passed.
Half a month had passed since Xiao Chen challenged Xue Chao.
On this particular day, a deacon came to the Eastern Sky Courtyard. The Eastern Sky Courtyard's Intent of Thunder reacted, and Lu Ming opened his eyes from cultivation.
Then, he walked out of the Eastern Sky Courtyard.
"Lu Ming, I am the deacon of the Mission Hall of the Emperor Heavenly Divine Palace. You have been in the Emperor Heavenly Divine Palace for some time now. You need to complete a mission for the Emperor Heavenly Divine Palace."
