"Bam!"
The teacup was smashed onto the wooden table. Inside the government office of the Autumn Moon County Capital.
A strong man with a cross-shaped scar on his face stared coldly at the swaying treetops outside the window.
"What are these sects trying to do now? Openly assassinating people on the streets and causing destruction! They even rashly mobilized their elites before. Do they really have no respect for the law? " The man's voice was suppressing his anger, but this anger was faintly unnatural. Instead, it seemed more like an act.
There was another person sitting in the living room. It was an old man with a white beard. He held a steaming cup of tea in his hand and sipped slowly.
"Brother Wang, there's no need to be angry. I've already sent a letter to the Thousand Sun Sect. This was just a misunderstanding. Assassination is an undeserved disaster. No one wants to cause trouble for no reason. "He slowly sipped his tea again.
"I'm not making a fuss, but there are tens of millions of people in the county capital. If something happens, it's no small matter. Most importantly, it happened in the downtown area. Even though it's in a remote corner of the downtown area, it's still a bad influence, "the strong man said unhappily. He knew the old man was connected to the three major sects, but he represented the government and the three major families. If something happened in the downtown area, it would hurt the family's interests, not just the people. Therefore, he had to make a statement.
The old man smiled.
"Of course I understand. I'll talk to the three sects. Nothing like this will happen again. Don't worry."
"Since Elder Zhao has promised, I won't pursue this matter." The strong man nodded. "Then let's go back to the previous topic."
"Yes … the source of the strange aura in the city recently must be found as soon as possible." Speaking of this, the old man's smiling face turned serious.
"I've checked 70% of the streets and sewers, but found nothing. The rest are more difficult to deal with. Most of them belong to officials and large families," the strong man said with a frown. "I can't mobilize the Yangming Army in this area. I can only ask the Yinfu Army to monitor. The Turquoise Conch Agency didn't give me a detailed reply. "
"The Turquoise Conch Agency is an independent department. Only they know if there's any news." Elder Zhao shook his head. "The three sects are more convenient than the government in this area. I'll go back and invite a few people to discuss the results. I'll give you an answer as soon as possible."
"Good!" The man nodded.
…
Lu Sheng sat cross-legged in the courtyard. The moonlight shone on his body, on the greenish-black stone slabs and walls, making him appear even more desolate and quiet.
From time to time, the sound of water rippling could be heard from the well in the middle of the courtyard.
Suddenly, a faint whispering sound came from Lu Sheng's body. He was sitting cross-legged, and two streams of white gas slowly floated out of his nostrils. Like a rope, the white gas floated behind him and disappeared.
The white gas was continuously produced and flew away. Such a simple and repetitive process was dull and tedious, but Lu Sheng did not feel bored at all.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, more than two hours had passed.
Hu.
Finally, the white gas from Lu Sheng's nostrils gradually disappeared, and a golden light suddenly flashed behind him.
Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief.
"The [Light of the Great Sun Art] is indeed extraordinary. After cultivating it for so long, I've finally barely grasped it." To Lu Sheng, a True Art that was similar to an inner force skill required at least a sliver of Qi to be able to quickly use the Modifier to improve and modify it.
"Deep Blue." Lu Sheng called out the Modifier.
The Modifier had been with Lu Sheng for so many years, and had unknowingly undergone a slight change. The original color of the square frame had completely faded, and had been replaced by a more formal and regular translucent greyish-white.
Lu Sheng's gaze slid down the square frame one by one, and quickly found the Light of the Great Sun Art that had just appeared in the square frame.
"[Light of the Great Sun Art: Beginner (Total of five levels). Special Effect: Pure Gold Vital Qi Beginner. Mind Stabilized. "
"Pure Gold Vital Qi …" Lu Sheng could clearly feel that after he had grasped the Light of the Great Sun Art, the Vital Qi in his body had all turned pale gold, as if it had been mixed with golden sand.
He stretched out his hand, and a thin layer of pale gold sand slowly seeped out of his palm.
"This is the so-called Pure Gold Vital Qi? The foundation of the Light of the Great Sun Art? " Lu Sheng frowned slightly. This was the first time he had not understood how the Vital Qi of the Light of the Great Sun Art had turned into this.
"According to the ancient records, those with bloodlines have three more acupuncture points than ordinary people. These three points are not in the body, but outside the body. One of the acupuncture points that the Light of the Great Sun Art needs is an inch outside the navel. After the absorbed Vital Qi or other Vital Qi circulates through a specific bloodline in the body, it will seep out of the body with the liver as the core, and then be injected into this acupuncture point. Finally, it will be combined with incantations to transform into Pure Gold Vital Qi. "Lu Sheng repeated the entire cultivation process.
The cultivation of Vital Qi was much more complicated than the cultivation of inner force and devil essence. It involved the bloodline, organs, acupuncture points outside the body, and even incantations.
Every step of the process was extremely strict and careful. According to the records, one wrong step would mean a thousand miles of difference.
Lu Sheng kneaded the pale gold Vital Qi in his hand, and casually scattered it on the ground.
The bit of Vital Qi that he had painstakingly cultivated immediately scattered on the ground like sand.
Soon, Lu Sheng saw that the tiles on the ground where the Vital Qi had touched were slightly red and emitting waves of heat. The moss on the surface had dried and curled up, turning black and charred. Some of the dew that had covered the ground during the night had also evaporated.
'So it uses high temperature as its main method of attack?' Lu Sheng pondered.
The many inner force techniques he had cultivated, as well as the Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way he had cultivated in the Prime Devil Sect, were all related to high temperature.
He did not expect that after coming to the Great Yin to disguise himself, he would still cultivate Vital Qi with high heat.
'I've grasped the basics. Should I level it up in one go, or …' Lu Sheng still had to consider the possible reactions and effects of the abnormal progress of his cultivation.
He hesitated for a moment, then took out a brand-new reddish-yellow booklet. The booklet was filled with a bunch of messy keywords that normal people would not be able to understand.
These were the main cultivation methods that Lu Sheng had gotten from his master, Hei Ning. This main cultivation method was different from the Light of the Great Sun Technique, as it focused on a completely different acupoint. It was a compatible cultivation method that allowed one to cultivate two cultivation methods at the same time.
Lu Sheng had purposely recorded some keywords in the booklet to prevent himself from forgetting them. Only he could understand them.
'Path of Empty Spirit … That's a rather impressive name, but I wonder how effective it is.' Lu Sheng knew that the Thousand Sun Sect's cultivation method was to focus on one cultivation method, and choose any other. As long as you had enough talent, you could cultivate as many as you wanted.
"Dong, dong, dong."
Suddenly, a soft knocking sound came from outside the courtyard door.
"Who is it?" Lu Sheng snapped out of his daze and looked at the door. It was not yet late at night, only eight or nine in the evening. For the Autumn Moon County Capital, this was just the beginning of the nightlife.
Even from this courtyard, Lu Sheng could vaguely hear the sounds of dancing and drinking outside.
"Junior Apprentice Brother Lu, I am Yang Xu. Is Elder Zhang Shilong here?" A gentle and deep male voice came from outside the door.
"Yang Xu?" Lu Sheng quickly rose to his feet, raised his hand, and waved at the courtyard gate.
"Creak …"
The door opened, and a tall, well-proportioned man with a square face walked in slowly with cupped fists.
If it weren't for the thick aura of golden True Qi around this man, he would have been mistaken for a normal storyteller.
Neither his appearance nor temperament were befitting of a true disciple of the Thousand Sun Sect.
But Lu Sheng knew that this Yang Xu was the number one true disciple of the Thousand Sun Sect in the Autumn Moon County Capital. He was also the future sect master of a branch.
"Ah, so it's Senior Apprentice Brother Yang Xu. I've heard a lot about you." Lu Sheng greeted him with a smile.
"Not at all. I'm the one who's heard a lot about you, Junior Apprentice Brother." Yang Xu smiled wryly. "I came here this time to convey the hunting mission issued by the upper sect to Junior Brother. Originally, this matter should have been handled by Elder Chen Yan, but it just so happened that I was drinking by the side and wanted to find Elder Zhang for a drink, so I conveniently brought it over."
"Senior Apprentice Brother, you're welcome." Lu Sheng smiled. "Why don't you come in for a drink?"
"Uh … I'll pass. To be honest, I'm already a bit nervous talking to your teacher at such a close distance. If we drink together …" Yang Xu waved his hand and smiled wryly. "You don't know this, but according to the records, the number of your predecessors who accidentally killed their fellow disciples when they were drinking together was in the double digits …"
"Uh …" At this point, Lu Sheng could more or less understand where his cheap teacher's reputation came from.
"This is the mission manual. Burn it after you read it." Yang Xu handed Lu Sheng a small bag on his back. He rubbed his hands after letting Lu Sheng take it. "Alright, the matter is settled. I'll go back first. Junior Apprentice Brother, you're still cultivating so late. You're really hardworking. "
Lu Sheng said a few humble words. The two didn't have much to talk about, so they parted ways.
Yang Xu turned and left the courtyard. He quickly boarded an ordinary carriage by the side of the road. There were a few figures in the carriage, chatting loudly.
"Brother Yang, are you done? Quick, quick, quick! You're the only one left. Where were we? "someone shouted.
Lu Sheng glanced at the people in the carriage. They were all ordinary people. They didn't have any special aura on them.
Yang Xu waved his hand and boarded the carriage. He played drinking games with the others and slowly left the street.
Lu Sheng closed the door. Initially, he was still hesitant about whether or not he should level up quickly. However, after seeing Yang Xu, his previous indecisiveness somehow calmed down. Yang Xu was the first true disciple, but he was also so low-key.
"Since I've endured for so long, I can't fail at this step."
He returned to his seat, closed his eyes, and continued cultivating the Light of the Great Sun Technique. Large amounts of Essence Qi were absorbed and poured down from the top of his head. A golden line flowed slowly within the Essence Qi.
The geniuses of the Great Yin weren't as rare as the Great Song. As long as his progress was steady and hidden, there shouldn't be a problem.
He quickly focused on the Light of the Great Sun Technique.
"Level up to Level One." Lu Sheng stared at the frame.
Moments later.
"Hiss …"
The frame for the Light of the Great Sun Technique blurred. After a few breaths, the frame became clear again. A golden light flashed across Lu Sheng's face.
