After leaving the Prime Devil Sect's Devil Palace, Lu Sheng went to the Research Temple again. He wrote down some of the precious Dharmic formulas he obtained from his Arrival in a coded language that he wrote himself.
This code was to convert different characters into different symbols. Although it was the simplest way of coding, Lu Sheng even followed a fixed pattern that only he knew of to be on the safe side. After using this coding method, Lu Sheng even messed up the sequence of the incantation he had recorded.
That way, without knowing how to rearrange the sequence, no matter how talented or talented one was, they would not be able to understand what he was recording.
After spending three days, Lu Sheng finally recorded all the Dharmic formulas that he thought were valuable. Memory was not absolutely reliable. It would slowly fade and distort with the passage of time. No matter how talented one was, if he did not revise from time to time, he would gradually forget some content as time passed.
What Lu Sheng wanted was absolute memory.
After recording everything, he summoned Elder Stone of the Prime Devil Sect, King of Shadows Xu Feila, and the others. After he left, the huge operations of the Prime Devil Sect were basically handled by these people with the highest authority.
After learning about the recent situation from his Devil King subordinates, Lu Sheng came to a sudden realization that two years had passed since his Arrival.
Fortunately, there were not many changes in the Great Yin. The Imperial Court and the other continents were still fighting against the Devil World. The Imperial Family was in a state of internal strife that had not been sorted out yet.
The three great families also maintained their status quo. After the three Weapon Grandmaster Patriarchs were heavily injured, they had been recuperating in seclusion. The three great families were also in a state of herding sheep. The top-grade Divine Weapons consecrated by the families influenced the decisions.
The three sects also suffered heavy losses in the war against the Devil World. The two Weapon Grandmasters were also recuperating in seclusion.
They were all Weapon Grandmasters, but it was obvious that the two Weapon Grandmasters of the three sects, including Weapon Grandmaster Aurora Polaris, were inferior to the Weapon Grandmasters of the three great families.
In these two years, Weapon Grandmaster Aurora Polaris guarded the East Sea's Gate of Illusion and never left. The Thousand Sun Sect was also peaceful. Nothing happened.
On the other hand, Li Shunxi's good friend, Prince Qiong Shan, whom Lu Sheng had helped before, was currently being hunted down because he had the Ten-Thousand Transformation Divine Weapon with him. The Ten-Thousand Transformation Divine Weapon was also completely lost, and no one could find it.
Lu Sheng had a rough understanding of the current situation, and carefully replaced the Prime Devil Sect's higher-ups with his latest mind-controlling technique. Only then did he announce that he had come out of seclusion and returned to the Autumn Moon County's Lu Family.
…
The Song Seeking Festival.
The crackling sound of firecrackers rang out continuously, and a large amount of red and white firecracker debris flew everywhere.
In the center of the Autumn Moon County, the square square was filled with people. They all surrounded the center.
In a small area in the middle, there were four cows, more than ten pigs, and seven deer. People were queuing up to buy them, and there were people with knives cutting up the meat and selling it.
There was an endless stream of people buying meat. The queue didn't seem long, but every time a few people went down, a few more would come up to replace them.
Lu Sheng and Lu Ning sat in front of a jade shop on the side of the street. The two of them, one big and one small, quietly watched the grand scene of meat being sold in the middle of the square.
The shopkeeper and workers behind them worked in fear and trepidation, trying their best to pretend that they didn't know the two people in front of them.
"Daddy, what's this?" Lu Ning's bloodline was different, and he could already speak fluently at the age of two. Right now, he was six years old, and sitting next to Lu Sheng, he was as fat as a ball. On his pale little face, only three slits and two holes could be seen … those were his eyes, mouth, and nostrils. Although he was only a little more than a meter tall, Lu Ning was almost a meter tall when he stretched horizontally.
"These are livestock for meat. However, they're no ordinary livestock," Lu Sheng explained with a smile.
Two years had passed since his Arrival, and this was with the difference in the flow of time. If not, Lu Ning would probably be seven or eight years old now.
So, in order not to be too unfamiliar, he brought little Lu Ning to tour the Autumn Moon County alone.
Coincidentally, there was a festival in the county, and it was very lively. Not only did the locals leave their homes to parade, but many people from other counties also came from far away to participate in the festival.
"If it's not ordinary livestock, then what meat is it?" Lu Ning asked, puzzled.
"These are special livestock that your father raised with the flesh of devils. After the Prime Devil Sect purifies the Devil Qi, the meat is excellent. Eating more can also replenish Vitality. It's also not something ordinary people can afford. Most people are just here to watch the show, "Lu Sheng said with a smile.
He had Deep Blue with him. Spending some Mental Energy, he could easily derive a method to get rid of the Devil Qi. He taught this method to the servants of the Prime Devil Sect, and had them purify the Devil Qi from the livestock fed with devils' flesh according to the procedure.
This created an extremely complete and profitable gold industry chain.
And this was only one of the small regions that the Prime Devil Sect had stabilized and developed inwardly after it stopped expanding. There were many other similar industries.
As the war continued, the Prime Devil Sect also began to make a lot of money from the war. Using their huge wealth, they also began to recruit disciples of Noble Families and rogue cultivators whose homes were destroyed by the Devil Race.
"Senior Apprentice Brother sure is in a good mood, pretending to be an ordinary person and coming to watch the show." Lu Sheng was carefully explaining the differences in breeding to Lu Ning when a figure wearing a white headscarf slowly walked up to him and spoke in a friendly voice.
"Junior Apprentice Brother Zhu?" Lu Sheng's expression was lazy. He let go of Lu Ning and let him join the crowd. He pointed at the newcomer and asked him to find a chair and sit down.
"How come you have the time to come visit me?" Lu Sheng was a little surprised.
The person in front of him wasn't very close to him, but because they were both disciples of Qian Du Su Ningfei, they weren't too far apart.
The man standing in front of him was tall and had a rough appearance. His light red hair was curled and spread out, and he looked as mighty as a red-furred lion.
His name was Zhu Shejun, and he was a disciple Su Ningfei took in not long ago. However, unlike Lu Sheng, he was a true personal disciple.
But even though this person was a direct disciple, because of Su Ningfei's strange temper, he was tricked like Lu Sheng. Although he had reached the Divine Weapon Master realm at lightning speed, the suffering he had gone through was far greater than Lu Sheng's. It was indescribable.
Zhu Shejun sat down on the chair next to Lu Sheng casually, a helpless expression on his face.
"Other than Master's decree, who else could forcefully drag me out of seclusion? Damn it, I've spent so much effort to refine the third Devil Bone, and I'm only a few balls of flame away from breaking through … "
Lu Sheng immediately showed a sympathetic expression.
Zhu Shejun's Enlightened Method was cultivated in conjunction with his family's Divine Weapon. Refining Devil Bones to improve one's cultivation required at least a year's time. Su Ningfei's decree ruined a year's worth of hard work. She was extremely willful.
However, both of them knew that Su Ningfei didn't care about her disciples at all. What she truly cared about was her daughter, Su Yuanyuan, who was now missing again.
"Ran away again?" Lu Sheng was surprised.
"Yes …" Zhu Shejun nodded helplessly. "Not only did she run away, but she also caused trouble. In order to help the owner of the Ten-Thousand Transformation Divine Weapon, Prince Qiong Shan, and the Three Sacred Gates disciple Li Shunxi, Little Junior Sister even stole Master's last Yangluo Petrifying Wood Divine Thunder …"
"The insane Divine Thunder that can petrify anything within three thousand miles with one throw?" Lu Sheng's expression immediately became nervous.
He knew about this thing. Su Ningfei had painstakingly refined this thing. It was one of her powerful trump cards to deal with her enemies.
An ordinary Holy Lord really couldn't afford to play around with divine lightning. Ordinary Holy Lords could at most refine some ordinary Five Elemental Lightning or Essence Energy Lightning Pills. Those that could truly be called divine lightning were all terrifying killing weapons with the power of annihilation.
"That's right …" Zhu Shejun nodded helplessly again. "Little Junior Sister is currently trapped in the Thousand Dragon Cave on the Yellow Mountain. She's been trapped by the Thousand Gold Dragon Patriarch's formation for three days. When Master learned of this, he sent someone to ask Senior Brother for help … "
Lu Sheng immediately understood.
The Petrifying Divine Thunder that Su Ningfei had refined was so powerful that it was equivalent to half of her own strength. If Little Junior Sister Su Yuanyuan was forced to use it, the final outcome would be extremely difficult to resolve. This was especially true now that the situation had stabilized. The Human World and the Devil World had been at war for a long time. The Weapon Grandmasters would definitely not allow such a huge mess to occur in the mainland.
Even if she was heavily injured and in seclusion, there were still the two Weapon Grandmasters of the three sects to oversee the situation. Weapon Grandmaster Aurora Polaris was a kind and gentle person. He would definitely not allow his younger sister to cause such trouble.
Lu Sheng's thoughts raced. He knew that Thousand Sun Sect Master Aurora Polaris probably had something to do with Zhu Shejun's trip.
"Sect Master knows that Senior Brother has returned to recuperate from his injuries. He's very apologetic to have to trouble you for this. That's why he asked me to bring this." Zhu Shejun flipped his hand, and produced a palm-sized, pale yellow clay tablet.
"This is …" Lu Sheng's eyes immediately focused.
"This is a Sacred Sword clay tablet that records the Demon Race's sacred art. It's said that it records the Demon Race's powerful method of tempering their physical bodies to the extreme. However, since it's only a portion of it, and the cultivation method is incomplete, the Demon Race traded it with us humans for many precious skill formulas, "Zhu Shejun explained. "Take this as your reward for helping Senior Brother out this time."
"Fine. Since I've returned, I've rested for a while. It's time for me to stretch my muscles. "Lu Sheng readily agreed.
He could vaguely sense that the things recorded on this clay tablet might be of great help to him. After all, it was something that even Su Ningfei treasured.
"Senior Brother, you're straightforward." Zhu Shejun swung his arm and tossed the clay slab to Lu Sheng. "Alright, Junior Apprentice Brother, I still have a mission to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." He stood up and cupped his fists. Then, he turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
Lu Sheng caught the clay tablet, and carefully examined the seemingly messy scratches on it.
These scratches seemed to have no pattern, but upon closer inspection, one would discover that there seemed to be some sort of mystery hidden within. It was as if it could draw Lu Sheng's attention to it, and he was unable to extricate himself.
'Looks like this is the original body of the clay tablet that Su Ningfei used to deceive me. Sect Master must have known about this conflict, and purposely took this clay tablet from Su Ningfei in order to resolve the misunderstanding between us. It's really tiring for him to be the sect master … 'Lu Sheng shook his head slightly. He felt that Weapon Grandmaster Aurora Polaris was like a helpless elder brother who had to do all the work for his younger sister, Su Ningfei.
Even though he was heavily injured, he did not forget to handle his younger sister's personal affairs.
