Lu Sheng glanced at the Jade Fox Tribesmen casually. Wisps of White Feather Pure Qi seeped into the ground from under his feet and surged toward the Jade Fox Tribesmen.
"Chi, chi, chi!"
Four soft sounds rang out. The faces of four Jade Fox Tribesmen turned pale at the same time. They fell backward.
"Big Brother!"
"Brother Qiong!"
The remaining two hunters were shocked. They quickly went to help their fallen tribesmen.
Even the Taoists of the Clear Crane Sect were shocked by this sudden turn of events. Why did their opponents fall as if they had been bewitched?
Lu Sheng walked to the edge of the cold spring. The spring water was bubbling in a small stone pit. The clear water released a bone-piercing chill. However, there was a faint fragrance in the air. It was like the fragrance of flowers. It was faint, but it was difficult to ignore.
He squatted down and dipped his hand into the spring water. A chill traveled up his finger.
"Is this the cold spring?"
"Yes, Senior Brother Hezhen!" a Taoist hastily answered. "We've always used this to nurture cold seeds, but the Jade Fox Tribesmen …"
The others could tell that the sudden collapse of the Jade Fox Tribesmen must have something to do with the sudden appearance of Hezhen Zi.
The Taoists sighed in relief. Since Hezhen Zi was so powerful, the ownership of the cold spring should be decided.
Initially, the others thought that the matter would escalate until the three masters noticed it and came forward to deal with it. Now that Hezhen Zi had come forward, the effect would be the same.
"You killed our … our clan brother?!" The Jade Fox Tribesmen finally noticed that their tribesmen were no longer breathing. Their expressions changed drastically.
"You talk too much!" Lu Sheng stood up. Since he was ready to carry out his plan, there was no need for him to hold back for now.
He grabbed with one hand. A ball of white gas suddenly erupted between his fingers. It swiftly enveloped the remaining two Jade Fox Tribesmen.
The white gas quickly dissipated. The remaining two tribesmen instantly stopped breathing. They fell to the ground, unable to get up.
Such a killing technique shocked even the Taoists of the Clear Crane Sect.
"Alright, this matter is settled. If the Jade Fox Tribe has any trouble, come to me directly." Lu Sheng was troubled by the fact that he could not find an excuse to expand the Clear Crane Sect's territory.
With the Moon Prince Mansion as the center, he wanted the Crane King Cave to expand rapidly and devour all the tribes within several thousand miles.
The remaining Daoists wanted to say something but hesitated. They killed someone and didn't even try to cover it up. Wasn't it obvious that they were waiting for the other party to take revenge on them?
However, Lu Sheng did not care about this. He quickly returned to the Daoist temple and took out the Stone Path Mountain Moving Art that he had just obtained to study it carefully.
This new major sutra mainly refined two external acupoints. It was slightly better than the White Feather sutra, but not by much.
One of the two new external acupuncture points was Muyuan and the other was Qiaoqing.
Peck Qing was located in the middle of the neck, near the Adam's apple. It was also a very sensitive spot.
After Lu Sheng returned, he immediately announced that six of the twelve demon cranes would go out together to wipe out the small demon tribes in the surroundings.
Jade Fox Village was one of them.
The Six Great Crane Demons attacked at the same time. They, who strictly carried out Lu Sheng's orders, did not have any pity for humans. The Jade Fox Village was massacred within a day. More than two hundred people died or were injured. However, the demon fox also paid the price of one dead and one injured.
This made Lu Sheng's heart tremble slightly. He knew that his current strength was still too weak.
The second tribe was the Iron Rat Tribe and the White Wolf Tribe. They were both small tribes that were entrenched in the vicinity. However, they did not have many demon-level tribesmen. The demon cranes easily drove away or killed off the resistance.
As time went by, the Clear Crane Sect's territory grew larger and larger.
Lu Sheng, on the other hand, announced that he would go into closed-door cultivation. The Clear Prince's peculiar mark had cost him a great deal before he could completely resolve it.
It should be known that he only had a little over 1,000 years of cultivation base. However, a simple mark from the Clear Prince had cost him close to a tenth of his cultivation base.
The gap between them made his heart sink slightly.
That was why he was in such a hurry to improve himself.
Soon enough, the demon cranes brought him the spoils of war that they had obtained from the small tribes they had searched around.
Two of them were similar to major sutras. However, the Yin major sutra seemed to be of the same type. Their cultivation methods were more or less the same.
Lu Sheng took them one by one and studied them. However, only the major sutra given by the hermit Yuhong was genuine. Every step was linked to each other. The first step would affect the rest. The overall situation could not be changed.
Although the information was lacking, it should be enough to derive the White Feather Mantra.
While they were making their move, Lu Sheng had the Moon Prince Mansion make their move as well. They began searching for sufficient Daoist scriptures.
Meanwhile, he hid in an underground karst cave and began deriving new cultivation methods.
…
The lantern light was like a bean. It swayed in the breeze.
Lu Sheng sat alone on the ice-cold stone platform. He held a bright red oval stone that seemed to have been painted red.
Cold air would occasionally pass through the karst cave. A normal cave would be filled with icicles by now. However, this karst cave was filled with hot air and half with cold air.
Lu Sheng's gaze was fixed on Deep Blue's interface before him.
"I didn't expect this … I really didn't expect this …" The stone in his hand was an ancient stone artifact he had plundered from the Jade Fox Tribe. It was said that it had been passed down for several thousand years, and was used as a precious treasure by the tribe as a sacrificial offering.
Due to this reason, this stone was currently providing him with an endless supply of Mental Energy.
It was flowing into him at a rate of 10,000 units per second.
Lu Sheng had initially thought that he would only obtain some ordinary information from expanding his territory. He did not expect to receive such benefits.
What surprised him was that many of the tribes here had a similar habit — ancestor worship.
Through ancestor worship, they produced various sacrificial tools.
Each of these tools was of great use to Lu Sheng.
'Looks like I'll have to rely on this for my Mental Energy from now on.' Lu Sheng closed his eyes slowly. He looked at the White Feather Mantra's frame.
Half a day had passed.
Lu Sheng had already absorbed dozens of different ancient objects. Among them, there were varying amounts of Mental Energy. His total reserve of Mental Energy had increased to nearly 3,000,000 units!
This allowed him to fully understand the depth of this world's resources. It was far beyond his imagination.
'I've only expanded my territory a little and devoured three tribes' forces, and I've already gained so much … 'Lu Sheng exhaled. He pressed the modify button under the modifier.
The interface shook, and entered the modification mode.
He looked at the White Feather Mantra's frame. As expected, an derive button appeared behind the White Feather Mantra.
'Begin derivation.' He quickly focused his mind and pressed the derive button.
The entire frame blurred.
A moment later, the frame became clear again.
"Unknown mantra, Full-mastery.
Competence, 1,360 years. (Special traits. Speed, rank-five. Strength, rank-one. Unloading, rank-two. Real Undead, rank-one.) "
'Hm? Real Undead? ' Lu Sheng was suddenly stunned. He had just derived the White Feather Mantra, and a new special trait had appeared for some reason.
From the name given by the modifier, this Real Undead was definitely not an ordinary item.
'My Mental Energy consumption has increased … One derivation cost me 5,000 units …' Lu Sheng noticed another anomaly.
His expression changed. He instantly spread his powerful spirit power to every part of his body. He carefully observed the slightest change.
'Derive another level.'
He focused his mind and pressed the derive button again.
"Pcchht …"
The frame disappeared again.
This time, ten thousand units of Mental Energy vanished.
The frame blurred for more than 30 seconds before it slowly became clear again.
"Unknown mantra, Full-mastery.
Competence, 821 years. (Special traits. Speed, rank-ten. Strength, rank-two. Unloading, rank-five. Real Undead, rank-two.) "
'There's another one …' Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, his spirit could clearly sense that the Mental Energy in his body was disappearing for some reason. In its place was a huge vitality magnetic field that was slowly extending out from the back of his head.
The vitality magnetic field spun rapidly. It shrank and condensed at a spot an inch away from the back of his head. In no time, it formed an invisible, invisible, miniature vortex.
'Could this be the Real Undead?' Lu Sheng guessed.
He had a vague feeling that he might have come into contact with one of this world's greatest secrets.
This newly appeared Real Undead might be a huge drain on his Mental Energy.
'I'd like to see how much Mental Energy this Real Undead can absorb!' Lu Sheng was determined.
He pressed the derive button again.
This time, the frame blurred. He waited for more than 20 minutes before it became clear again.
"Unknown mantra, Full-mastery.
Competence, 520 years. (Special traits. Speed, rank-20. Strength, rank-three. Unloading, rank-eight. Real Undead, rank-three.) "
At this stage, Lu Sheng looked at the derive button again. However, he was shocked to find that the back of the frame was empty. There was nothing there.
'In other words, this cultivation method is the highest level that Deep Blue can derive and understand based on the information I have right now. As for the continuous decline in my cultivation base, that's merely because the cultivation method is of a higher level and more powerful. My original competence is being purified and condensed, and its density is increasing. There's even a qualitative change.
Lu Sheng exhaled slowly.
White air gushed out of his mouth. It even carried a faint fragrance.
He raised his hand, and saw that a pure white feather coat had appeared on his body without him noticing.
He closed his eyes. His powerful spirit immediately 'saw' the miniature vortex at the back of his head. It was like a transparent gem. Countless roots extended out from it like tree roots. They spread into the air around him.
It was as if these roots were absorbing some substance from the air.
'My Pure Qi has become so heavy …' He extended his hand and pointed. A wisp of Pure Qi flowed out of his fingertip and onto the ground.
Such Pure Qi could not even float, much less combine with the air. However, it was very tightly combined with the earth.
Lu Sheng scanned his body several times with his spirit. Although he could not find any major changes apart from his body's enhancement, he could not find any major changes.
However, he could faintly sense that his life level had undergone a qualitative change.
There seemed to be many invisible threads in the air that were connected to his body. As his cultivation method improved, most of them were broken.
"Little Zhen."
He suddenly called out in a low voice.
"Father."
In an instant, a white silhouette appeared with a flash. It knelt on one knee. It was the crane demon, Little Zhen.
'Make a trip to the Clear Prince Mansion …' Lu Sheng opened his eyes slowly. "Test him. If there's nothing to worry about, kill the Clear Prince."
"Yes! I'll definitely die! "Little Zhen said solemnly.
"Come here," Lu Sheng said softly.
Little Zhen walked over slowly. He stood less than an arm's length away from Lu Sheng.
Suddenly, the vortex behind Lu Sheng split into threads and slowly pierced the back of his head.
At the same time, a large amount of Pure Qi surged into his body. In an instant, more than five hundred years of cultivation power surged into Little Zhen's body.
"Alright, go." Lu Sheng wanted to see what this true undying nature could do.
Little Zhen did not know what was going on. He slowly retreated and suddenly disappeared.
'If my guess is correct … then this time … I'll definitely be able to understand the Reincarnation Heart and condense the Reincarnation Spirit!'
The Pure Qi in Lu Sheng's body quickly recovered. In just a few breaths, all of his Pure Qi had recovered.
'And the Clear Prince …' Killing intent flashed in his eyes.
