Snapping out of his reverie, Lu Sheng asked again, "Then what are the characteristics of the wanted criminal, Old Brother?"
Xiao Hongye was obviously prepared. With a clap of his plump hands, a young girl came forward and presented a stack of paper.
He passed it to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng took it and unfurled it. His expression changed slightly.
The first drawing on the paper was of Li Shunxi's appearance. Although the drawing was slightly distorted, he could still recognize Li Shunxi at a glance.
He flipped through the rest of the pictures. One of them was of a fat monk, and the other two were of the Liu sisters, who had just left his place.
Lu Sheng kept the paper, his expression calm.
"Come to think of it, I've met these people once before." He had no intention of hiding this relationship. Xiao Hongye was obviously the kind of person who was smooth and well-informed. It was unrealistic to hide such an obvious piece of information.
Back then, Li Shunxi had been in and out of the sect with him many times. Many people had seen it. There was no point in hiding it.
As for the Liu sisters, they had stayed in the Golden Jade Greenhouse for a while due to their unique appearances. Many people in the sect knew about them.
"Heh heh heh, Brother Lu sure is honest. But there's nothing I can do about it. They've violated the Manor Lord's taboo. There's nothing I can do about it." Xiao Hongye wasn't surprised at all.
"I'll keep an eye out later. If I find them, I'll let you know," Lu Sheng followed suit.
Speaking of which, he and Xiao Hongye were merely representatives of the factions behind them. They couldn't make decisions on such matters.
"That's good. I know a thing or two about you, Old Brother. Rest assured, I'm sure you won't protect fugitives, "Xiao Hongye said with a smile. "Drink, drink."
He raised his cup and toasted Lu Sheng again.
That night, after leaving Xiao Manor, Lu Sheng sat in the carriage on the way back. His heart was heavy.
Taking advantage of Xiao Hongye's drunken state, he probed him with a few general questions and gained a rough understanding of the crux of the realm of Bind.
Even in the realm of Bind, the indestructibility of different Veins varied. The undying ability of one or two veins was far inferior to that of three veins. In other words, only 30% of the body would be destroyed, but they would not die. Furthermore, there would be no vital points, such as the head or the heart.
However, once they reached Three-Vein, they would undergo a qualitative change. Without destroying at least eighty percent of their bodies, it would be impossible to kill them.
After that was Seven Veins, which was the second qualitative change in the realm of Bind. It was rumored that even if a seven-vein expert's body was completely smashed, he could still quickly regenerate. Moreover, because he had reached the highest realm of Bind, he had to kill him seven times in a row with effective methods to destroy the seven black membrane veins. Only then would he be able to kill a Seven Vein expert.
"Seven times …" Lu Sheng's heart felt heavy for the first time. This was a terrifying number. Furthermore, a seven-vein master was already extremely strong. In other words, unless one had a strength that was much stronger than a master of this level, or a method that could prevent the opponent from escaping, it was best to think of how to escape when encountering such a master.
"I originally thought that after reaching this realm, I would finally be able to protect myself. But now it seems that I'm still too weak … "Lu Sheng sat in the pitch-black carriage. For the first time, a trace of fatigue appeared in his eyes.
However, he recovered immediately after a moment of relaxation. There was no need for weakness in this world. As an ordinary person, weakness meant being at the mercy of others.
"Judging from the previous battle, a Divine Weapon can be obtained. If I'm strong enough, can I seize a Divine Weapon and make myself a Noble Family?" Lu Sheng suddenly thought of this.
But on second thought, he rejected the idea.
"What's the point of a Noble Family if I have to sacrifice hundreds of people every ten years!?" He recalled the annihilation of the Xu Family. Those rows of corpses were still etched in the depths of his heart.
"If I really become a Noble Family, then what difference would there be between me and an Inhuman?" He was disgusted, so he stopped thinking about it.
"With the Modifier in hand, so what if I'm a Noble Family? As long as I collect enough powerful martial arts and find more Yin Qi, I'll be able to push my martial arts to a realm unimaginable by ordinary people! When that happens, I'll cut down all Noble Families and Divine Weapons! "
An inexplicable rage rose in Lu Sheng's heart. He hated this kind of world. He hated these Noble Families and demons who sucked the blood of mortals like parasites!
"I'll correct this twisted world!" A hint of hostility rose in his heart.
A desire to cut down all the injustices in the world surged in his heart.
"KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL!!!" Countless frenzied murderous thoughts swelled in his heart. "Let the world return to its rightful path!! Those who are not pleasing to the eye must all die!! "
Lu Sheng sat in the carriage, his eyes slowly turning red. A line of blood, as straight as a silk thread, actually crawled out from the whites of his eyes.
This line of blood connected his pupils and the corners of his eyes. It was incomparably scarlet. One look at it would make one's chest feel suffocated and uneasy.
"Eh? Not good!! " Suddenly, Lu Sheng snapped out of it. He could feel Ultimate Crimson Nine Furies inner Qi circulating at high speed, far exceeding the limits of his body. The skin all over his body was faintly red, as if he would burst into flames at any moment.
"This is a sign of cultivation deviation!!" Alarmed, he quickly gathered his thoughts and focused his mind, calming his inner Qi.
Fortunately, his martial arts were all modified by the Modifier. His foundation was solid and stable, and he could control it with ease. Calming down was easy.
After a long while, he slowly recovered from his meditative state and heaved a long sigh.
The coachman called out in confusion from outside.
"Old Master? Old Master? "
"I'm fine. Have we arrived? "Lu Sheng asked in a low voice, his expression tired.
"Mm, we've arrived," The coachman's voice was a little flustered when he inquired earlier. Only after hearing Lu Sheng's reply did he feel more at ease. "We've arrived at the gates of Lu Manor."
Lu Sheng sat upright in the carriage, motionless in the darkness for a long time.
'Probably because I've cultivated too many hard body skills, plus I'm cultivating a Yang-type skill like Ultimate Crimson Nine Furies Skill. My blood and Qi are too Yang, and my body is out of balance … I need Yin-type skills to balance it out …'
With the Modifier on him, cultivating Yin-type skills was not a problem. As long as he noticed it, he could easily adjust it. It was just that this experience had given him a vague idea of the direction of his future development.
'Since I've cultivated too many hard body skills to produce a Yang Extreme Mode, then there must be a corresponding Yin Extreme Mode. I'll check out the sect's armory when I get back, 'Lu Sheng had a plan in mind. He seemed to have a vague idea of his future path.
If he wanted to reach a higher inner force realm, perhaps the Pure Yang Realm after Yin and Yang Harmony was the right path without the Modifier.
The Yang Extreme Mode was an absolutely violent and powerful state, produced by the accumulation of hard body skills and Yang-type inner force. The Yin Extreme Mode would probably produce an equally powerful effect. A glimmer of anticipation rose in Lu Sheng's heart.
After returning to the Manor to rest, he headed for the Crimson Whale early the next morning and arrived at the Martial Proclamation Court.
The Pavilion Elder was still seated behind the counter, but he looked drowsy.
"So it's the new Sect Master." He looked up at Lu Sheng. His attitude was no different from before, as though he had merely changed the way he addressed him.
Many sect disciples who had come to view the secret manuals bowed and greeted Lu Sheng. Their attitudes were respectful. Only this Pavilion Elder continued to look as though he didn't care whether he read or not.
"From the looks of it, Sect Master, you're probably looking for Yin-type inner force skills? Here's a list of all the Yin-type inner force skills in the Martial Proclamation Court, "he casually pulled out a piece of paper and tossed it to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng was stunned. He hadn't even opened his mouth and the other party had already guessed his intentions. Could it be that his situation was already that obvious?
He looked at the Pavilion Elder suspiciously for a while, then reached out to take the paper and read it.
'Jade Spring Skill, Three Yin Mantra, Aquarius Qi, Four Rings Winter Plum Skill, Spirit Trampling Pill Skill, Flying Frost Mantra.'
There were a total of six skills, all at the Strength Proficiency level. There was a detailed introduction of each skill at the bottom.
Now that the Zhen Family was gone, the rules they had set naturally didn't have to abide by anything like contribution points. As the Sect Master, he still had this bit of privilege.
Lu Sheng put down the list.
"How did you know that I needed Yin-type inner force skills, Pavilion Elder?" He had always felt that this Pavilion Elder was not simple. He was actually able to calmly guard the Martial Proclamation Library even when the sect was in great trouble. Most importantly, the huge Martial Proclamation Library that stored so many important books had not had a single incident up until now.
That wasn't simple.
"I can only see that Sect Master's Yin and Yang are out of balance. Sect Master's talent is extremely strong, but his methods are a little too extreme. There are some miraculous pills that can increase one's inner force, but it's best to eat less of them, "the Pavilion Elder said calmly.
"Thank you for the reminder, Pavilion Elder." Lu Sheng nodded. The Pavilion Elder mistakenly thought that his inner force came from taking pills, but he didn't point it out. His foundation was much stronger than a pill jar that took pills, and it had unlimited possibilities for improvement. There was also the possibility of limitless improvement, which was not something that could be compared to those pills.
After carefully reading the inner force skills on the list, Lu Sheng asked for a portion of Aquarius Qi and brought it out, intending to cultivate it carefully when he returned. Now that he had mastered Yang Extreme Mode, perhaps his meridians would change.
In addition, it was time for him to head out personally to collect Yin Qi. Since he couldn't find any antiques or items, and he couldn't find Zhuo Wenyu, it would be more efficient for him to deal with some ghosts and collect Yin Qi himself.
He couldn't touch Scarlet District. Now that they had retreated, they would not interfere with Crimson Whale Sect's affairs for the time being. As long as he didn't make the first move, Scarlet District wouldn't make a move.
Instead, he had to deal with the ghosts and Anomalies that had been breeding in other places recently.
After exiting the Martial Proclamation Court, Lu Sheng returned to the Sect Master's study. Jade Lotus was busy tidying up the sect's affairs. Seeing Lu Sheng, he hurriedly stood up and made way for him.
"Sect Master, you're finally here! Recently, among the unsolved cases from all over the world, there were more than ten normal cases and five or six spirit cases! I'm so flustered, "Jade Lotus hurriedly complained. Two conspicuous eye bags had appeared on his face that was as beautiful as a woman's. Clearly, he had been too busy recently to sleep well.
The first thing Lu Sheng did after taking office was to categorize all the cases according to Normal Grade, Spirit Grade, and Bind Grade. As for those above Bind Grade, there was no difference to the ordinary sect members. They were all classified as Bind Grade.
This way, all the cases could be dealt with in more detail.
"Where's Sect Master Chen Ying?" Lu Sheng sat down and asked casually.
"He's already led his men to solve one of the Spirit Grade cases," Jade Lotus replied.
"How many Bind Grade cases are there?" Lu Sheng asked.
"Bind Grade. There's one, but we can't be sure yet," Jade Lotus frowned. "Sect Master, you mean …"
"I intend to do it myself," Lu Sheng nodded, confirming his guess. If he wanted to collect Yin Qi, he could only do so by killing ghosts. To save time, it was more cost-effective to find ghosts with more Yin Qi.
With his current strength at Three-Vein Level, he was even stronger than Scarlet District's Deputy District Mistress umbrella girl. He could easily deal with ordinary Anomalies, not to mention ordinary ghosts. With a little care, he should be able to roam the Northern Lands unhindered.
"Since Sect Master is going to do it himself, success will surely come," Jade Lotus heaved a sigh of relief. "I was a little hesitant when I saw this case. I don't know which level to assign it to."
"Let me see," Lu Sheng said calmly.
Jade Lotus stepped forward and quickly found a folded piece of yellow paper on the table. He unfurled it gently.
Lu Sheng took it and read it. The first three words on the paper were imprinted in his eyes.
"Tea Sect, Apothecary, Stained Glass Mirror."
