Late at night, twelve o 'clock in the morning, Fei Manor.
In the storage room, which was sealed by layers of dark golden rune chains, items were scattered all over the floor and on the shelves.
Most of the carpet on the floor was charred black, and the rest was stained with a grayish white color. It was unknown what stained it.
It was quiet inside and outside the room. A small tent was set up by the pond. The faint breathing of guards could be heard, as if they were all asleep.
"Zzt … zzt zzt …"
Suddenly, a faint electric noise came from the storage room. The air in the storage room twisted and spun, forming a vortex the size of a fist.
In the center of the vortex, a black dot slowly appeared.
"Hiss!"
The black dot suddenly expanded, and turned into a tall figure covered in black smoke.
"This node … was destroyed?" The figure looked at the spot where the mirror was destroyed.
The figure's body seemed extremely unstable, twisting from time to time, like a TV image with bad signal.
"This is the Thousand Sun Sect's territory. You shouldn't be so reckless." Another slender figure slowly walked into the room behind him.
"I know, I thought there should be another node here," the tall figure said in a low voice. His voice was like a combination of vibrations, or the buzzing of many bees. The language he spoke wasn't the official language of the Great Yin at all, but more like a different language. However, this language seemed to have the effect of directly transmitting information. One didn't need to understand the language to understand the meaning.
"The node is destroyed. We can buy some more from the Three Sacred Gates. There's no need to take the risk," the slender figure said in a low voice.
"No, I just wanted to see who ruined my plan," the tall figure explained.
"Just a lucky little guy from a branch of the Thousand Sun Sect. It was just a coincidence. If you want revenge, you'll be too obvious. It won't be worth it for the alliance. "
The tall figure was silent for a while.
"That's true. I'll just find another node."
Both of them looked at the mirror shards at the same time, and didn't say anything else.
…
Lu Sheng's gaze slowly swept across the huge bookshelves. There were five main categories for True Qi: mental cultivation methods, True formulas, Mysterious techniques, external techniques, and secret techniques.
These five categories corresponded to the effects of True Qi.
Mental cultivation methods trained True Qi, and continuously improved it. Not the physical body.
The True Incantation improved both the True Qi and the body at the same time.
Xuan Gong mainly cultivated the body, and Zhen Qi was only used to support the body.
External skills were True Qi that pursued lethality, destruction, and actual combat.
Secret techniques, on the other hand, were some special and rare secret techniques that utilized True Qi. They usually consumed a lot of energy and harmed both the user and the opponent.
Lu Sheng scanned through. Compared to the others, he was more interested in the True Formula. In other words, his True Qi and physical body had both improved at the same time.
However, the True Mantra was also the most difficult of the few. This type of True Mantra was either extremely mediocre, or a genius who was an all-rounder. They also spent the most resources and time.
After searching for a while, he finally found a True Formula for cultivating Earth Fire.
"Fusion Core Earth Heart Technique!"
The entire True Art had a total of nine realms. The ninth level, which was said to be the highest, allowed one to control the tyrannical power of the lava. As long as he stood on the ground, he would be able to control an endless stream of Earth Fire. It was very powerful.
"Why did Junior Apprentice Brother Lu choose this True Formula?" Yun Wanfei came over and looked at the True Formula book in Lu Sheng's hand with surprise.
"Fusion Core Earth Heart Technique is considered a very mediocre True Formula. Body training is not even as good as Purple Jade Sky Wing. True Qi is not even as good as the Rainbow Dream. Its potential is not that great. The only advantage is that after mastering it, one can control an endless stream of Earth Fire. This way, one can save a lot of energy. " Yun Wanfei paused and then continued, "But after mastering the highest level of this True Formula, one's damage is equivalent to the peak of Earth Prime. The resources it consumes are twice as much as the other True Formulas."
Lu Sheng understood what she meant. She was trying to convince him that this True Formula was not worth it, but that was not what he cared about. What he really cared about was the endless stream of Earth Fire energy and the fact that it didn't care too much about the training environment.
Many of the other True Arts required all sorts of harsh environments and conditions, and many of them required all sorts of rare and precious resources. Only this True Art did not require any rare resources. Other than being difficult to cultivate and mediocre, there were no other obvious flaws.
"It's okay. I've chosen this one. After all, it's just a support. "Lu Sheng smiled.
"That's true. Junior Brother's teacher is that master. You don't need me to remind you about these things." Yun Wanfei also smiled.
Lu Sheng took out the book that was as tall as a person and flipped to the first page. In the middle of the white page, there was a clear pattern that looked like a plum blossom. The pattern was light gold.
Under Yun Wanfei's guidance, Lu Sheng reached out his hand and placed it on the surface of the pattern.
"Hiss …"
After a soft sound, he raised his hand and looked at his palm. Impressively, there was a rectangular pattern of fine characters imprinted on his palm.
At the top of the pattern, there was a line of extremely small words. It clearly said, "Fusion Core Earth Heart Technique."
This was the secret inheritance formation that the Thousand Sun Sect in the Autumn Moon County had bought from the upper sect. Every book would automatically leave its own mark on the body of the reader.
This mark could last for five days. Although it was just a mark of light and shadow, if one looked closely, they could see the content and flip the pages with their mind.
Lu Sheng put the book back on the shelf.
"Junior Brother, let's go together? I'll show you the latest good stuff, "Yun Wanfei said with a smile.
"Senior Sister, you have to give me a discount." Lu Sheng replied with a smile. He didn't have much money in his pocket right now. Most of it was the monthly stipend given to him by the sect for the past few months. The only extra was the monthly stipend given to him after he became a True Disciple, which was fifty Devil Gold. Adding the Ziying Pearl he received as compensation from the Song Family, he only had a hundred and fifty taels of Devil Gold. This amount of money was unimaginable to mortals, but for people at their level, it was just that.
"Junior Brother, don't worry. With your reputation and identity, you can easily get a few thousand pieces of Devil Gold on credit. It won't be too late to return it when we get to the Moling Prefecture. Our Yun Family also has a branch in the Moling Prefecture, "Yun Wanfei explained.
The family's evaluation of Lu Sheng had come out a long time ago. Originally, he was only a B rank, but after becoming that person's disciple, he instantly became a Special rank, even surpassing the A rank of a normal Elder.
In other words, in the eyes of the Yun Family, Lu Sheng, who was only showing low-level Bind power, was even more valuable than an Earth Level Elder of a branch.
"Then I must thank you, Senior Sister." Lu Sheng nodded, showing that he understood the other's goodwill.
The two left the bookshelf together and went back the way they came. In the wide hallway, Yun Wanfei told Lu Sheng about the situation in the Moling Prefecture.
As a direct disciple of a branch, plus being that person's disciple, Lu Sheng could immediately become a Palace Level direct disciple.
As a Palace Level direct disciple, there were many ways and places to earn Devil Gold.
For example, he could take on missions to kill the remnants of the Devil Army, explore the outside world, or take on some investigation missions. If he had a specialty like carving runes, making pills, or making artifacts, he could earn a lot of Devil Gold.
"Isn't this similar to the cultivators in novels?" Lu Sheng listened and felt that something was wrong. Making pills, drawing runes, carving formations, and forging artifacts — this was completely the standard of the Xianxia world.
"Of course, we are different from the immortals in novels. Without the bloodline, we don't have the right to enter. Also … "Yun Wanfei smiled." You'll know when you get there. "
The two quickly left the palace and ran dozens of miles southwest. Soon, they arrived at a green valley filled with birds and flowers.
At the entrance of the valley, there were two golden toad statues that were a few meters tall. Above them floated green clouds. Lu Sheng stood at the entrance and could see green pillars of smoke coming out of the valley.
"Patriarch." A few green-robed men rushed out of the valley and knelt to Yun Wanfei from afar.
"I've brought an important guest. Prepare the goods." Yun Wanfei made a hand seal.
Puff!
Suddenly, the two toads at the entrance opened their mouths and spat out two columns of blue smoke.
The blue smoke quickly covered Lu Sheng. His vision blurred, and a moment later, the blue smoke disappeared. The scene in front of Lu Sheng had completely changed.
He and Yun Wanfei were standing alone in a round stone room.
On the side of the stone room, in front of them, there was a tunnel. The tunnel was dark, and there were pearls hanging on both sides to light it up. He didn't know what those pearls were, but the light they emitted was white and bright like a torch.
"Please sit." Yun Wanfei waved her hand at Lu Sheng.
The two slowly sat down on the chairs behind them.
"This is an underground secret room that the Yun family built for our guests. You don't have to worry about any secrets being leaked. Here, all of our esteemed guests can voice out their deepest desires without the slightest scruple. No matter what kind of desire it is, we will try our best to satisfy it. As long as you have enough Devil Gold, nothing will be a problem, "she said with a smile.
Lu Sheng immediately understood. If she dared to say something like this, then the power behind the Yun family must be terrifying.
They might even be connected to the three families. After all, the government of the Great Yin had the most slaves.
"How generous!" Lu Sheng nodded.
"Serve the tea." Yun Wanfei clapped her hands.
Immediately, two human-faced bees flapped their wings and buzzed out of the tunnel. They put down the tea and pastries in their hands.
It was Lu Sheng's first time seeing a human-faced bee.
This creature was as tall as a person. It had the head of a beautiful woman, and the rest of its body was that of a giant bee with yellow and black patterns. Its wings flapped rapidly, and its feet didn't touch the ground. It looked obedient and obedient.
After the tea was served, the two human-faced bees floated behind them.
"Clap, clap."
Yun Wanfei clapped softly again.
A man and a woman slowly walked out of the passageway, completely naked. Both of them were extremely handsome, be it in terms of their figures or looks.
However, when they walked in front of Lu Sheng and Yun Wanfei, they knelt down, turned around, and showed their backs to the two.
