The Blood Corpse Taoist Master had long noticed that someone was coming.
Ever since the Blood Corpse Taoist Master was captured, there had been two waves of people who had come to interrogate him. Unfortunately, they had found nothing.
Who would have thought that in less than an hour, there would be someone else?
Looks like they really value me.
The Blood Corpse Taoist Master thought bitterly.
Faced with the interrogation methods of the Zhishou Tower, he did not say a word.
What he was puzzled about was how his identity had been exposed.
The Blood Corpse Taoist Master raised his eyes slightly and looked outside the bars.
His pupils suddenly shrank.
The person outside the bars was not the warden cultivator he had expected, but an extremely young teenager!
It was impossible for an idle person to appear in the warden's territory.
This teenager was an important person.
The black-robed cultivator silently opened the iron gate on the bars and said softly to Lu Qingshan, "We have placed dozens of restrictions on him. He has no strength to resist. Please go ahead."
Lu Qingshan nodded and walked into the cell.
The Blood Corpse Taoist Master's face was pale and bloodless, but there were no wounds on his body.
It was obvious that the interrogation methods were carried out on the level of the spirit.
But looking at the situation, the Blood Corpse Taoist Master should be quite tight-lipped.
But this was expected.
The Hades had existed among the human race for so long. How could it be an ordinary organization?
How could the mouth of a member of the Hades organization be so easily pried open?
"Who are you?" The Blood Corpse Taoist Master gritted his teeth and asked word by word.
Lu Qingshan did not answer the Blood Corpse Taoist Master's question. Instead, he squatted in front of the Blood Corpse Taoist Master and looked at his gloomy eyes.
"Do you recognize me now?"
A cultivator's memory was already very outstanding, not to mention that the last time they met was not long ago.
"The Da Xia Kingdom Trading Company …" The Blood Corpse Taoist Master quickly reacted and recognized Lu Qingshan's face. "It's you?!"
"It's me," Lu Qingshan admitted.
The Blood Corpse Priest was silent for a moment before he suddenly laughed. "I just don't understand. I've never crossed paths with you before. We've only met once in the Da Xia Kingdom's trading company. How did you discover that I'm from the Hades?"
Lu Qingshan looked at Daoist Blood Corpse coldly. "Is that important?"
"It might not be important to you, but it's very important to me." The Blood Corpse Daoist Master looked at Lu Qingshan's delicate face and laughed dryly. "If you are willing to give me an explanation, I may reveal some information about the Hades to you."
"Other than this, you won't be able to get any information from me." Daoist Master Blood Corpse said bitterly, "Because from the moment I was captured, I no longer had any hope of surviving. Right now, I just want to know the answer."
Lu Qingshan shook his head and remained unmoved. "I'm not here to pry information from you."
The Blood Corpse Daoist Master vaguely guessed something and swallowed with some difficulty. "Impossible. You went through so much trouble to capture me alive. How could you give up so easily to pry information from me …"
"Zhishou Tower won't kill you easily, but I'm not one of them," Lu Qingshan looked at the Blood Corpse Daoist Master and said calmly.
There were three reasons why he wanted the Blood Corpse Daoist Master as a reward in exchange for information from Zhishou Tower.
First, the Lu Qingshan in this body had died at the hands of the Blood Corpse Daoist Master. If he did not take revenge, he would not be at ease.
Second, the cultivators of Zhishou Tower were cautious. There was no free lunch in this world. A free gift would easily arouse suspicion.
Therefore, although Lu Qingshan's original intention was to leak information to Origin Mountain Tower and have them stop Hades's plan, he chose to give the information in the form of a deal instead of giving it away for free.
This caused the two Tower Masters of the Origin Mountain House to be less suspicious of Lu Qingshan.
From their point of view, Lu Qingshan had revealed information about Hades to them because he had a request.
Third, and most importantly, Lu Qingshan urgently needed experience points to increase his strength.
Strength was the foundation of everything.
Chaos was about to break out in Chang 'an, and he urgently needed a certain level of strength to protect himself in this chaotic world.
The experience points from killing a Foundation Establishment Cultivator above his level were plentiful enough to increase Lu Qingshan's strength by a large margin.
Without wasting any more words with the Blood Corpse Daoist Master, Lu Qingshan gently placed his palm on the Blood Corpse Daoist Master's forehead under the unwilling gaze of the latter. The Spiritual Energy in his body surged out from his palm.
Under Lu Qingshan's control, this Spiritual Energy rushed straight to the Blood Corpse Daoist Master's spirit in between his brows.
The Blood Corpse Daoist Master, who was under the control of many restrictions, could not block this Spiritual Energy that he usually saw as insignificant.
The Spiritual Energy tore apart the Blood Corpse Daoist Master's fragile spirit.
In an instant, his spirit was destroyed.
…
"You've launched a fatal attack. You've dealt 60 points of damage to the Blood Corpse Daoist Master (Lv.27)!"
"Target dead. You've killed the Blood Corpse Daoist Master (Lv.27). You've obtained experience points as a reward. You've obtained a total of 2100 (basic experience points) x 2 (coefficient) = 4200 experience points!"
.....
The basic experience points were 2100, and the reward for killing someone one level higher than himself was double. Just this experience alone allowed Lu Qingshan to obtain 4200 experience points.
This was a huge amount of experience points that could allow Lu Qingshan to charge straight to Qi Refinement Level Nine.
Even the rich players in the game could only level up at this rate if they spent money.
Lu Qingshan was very satisfied.
Looking at the Blood Corpse Daoist Master, who had fallen to the ground and was no longer breathing, Lu Qingshan did not feel the slightest fluctuation in his heart as he left the prison cell.
.....
Lu Qingshan left the Origin Mountain Tower and returned to the inn that he was temporarily staying at.
Next was the players' favorite segment, the chopping off of their hands.
Lu Qingshan did some calculations in his mind and came up with a plan.
Lu Qingshan first put his experience points into the [Qi Drawing Spell] and started leveling up.
"[Qi Drawing Spell] raised to Lv.3, Spiritual Energy Value + 10!"
.....
"[Qi Drawing Spell] raised to Lv.8, Spiritual Energy Value + 10, obtained 1 free attribute point!"
He spent a total of 2700 experience points to raise the [Qi Drawing Spell] from Lv.2 to Lv.8, increasing the maximum Spiritual Energy Value by 60 points and obtaining 3 free attribute points.
Without much hesitation, Lu Qingshan added all 3 attribute points to Strength.
After two more levels, he would reach the upper limit of the Qi Refining Stage and could prepare to enter the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Looking at the interface, he had 1518 experience points left. He spent another 1350 experience points {2250 * 0.6 ([Natural Sword Seed] -30% EXP cost, [Beginner Swordsmanship Affinity] -10% EXP cost} to raise the Falling Light Swordsmanship to Lv.10, the maximum level.
Cultivation level was important, but so was the level of skills.
If one only focused on raising their cultivation level and ignored the leveling of skills, the result would be that although their level was high, their combat strength would not be high. This kind of person was known as the Giant Baby Player.
One of the biggest drawbacks of the Giant Baby Player was that their leveling speed would be greatly reduced.
With only cultivation level and no skill level, under normal circumstances, they would not be able to defeat NPCs of the same level and could only bully low-level monsters. However, in < Nine Heavens >, other than the experience points reward for killing those of a higher level, there was also an experience penalty.
The amount of experience points gained from bullying low-leveled monsters was pitifully low.
However, if one deliberately did not raise their cultivation level and focused on raising their combat strength, it would not be guaranteed that they would be able to earn.
After all, attributes were the foundation of all combat strength. If you were a Qi Refining Cultivator with all your skills at the maximum level, no matter how reckless you were, you would not be able to defeat a Golden Elixir Daoist with all his skills at Lv.1.
This required a balance between the two.
However, as long as he had enough experience points, it would not be a problem.
Why would he care so much?
He would just fill it all up.
However, after transmigrating, Lu Qingshan no longer had the shackles of the upper limit of his level.
For example, in the Chang 'an Chaos version, the upper limit of players was Lv.30 (Foundation Establishment).
Naturally, there was no way to fill it all up.
Lu Qingshan felt a little heartache when the seemingly huge amount of experience points were emptied in an instant.
The remaining experience points were reserved for Lu Qingshan to learn new skills in the future.
However, the sacrifice was worth it. Lu Qingshan's combat strength soared.

Lu Qingshan's current Strength was 5. In other words, his current Falling Light Sword Technique, without taking into account the defense reduction and defensive spells, theoretically dealt 11 points of damage (5 * 2 * 110% ([Formation Breaker] 5% + [Sword Affinity] 5%)).
One had to know that Qi Refinement Cultivators, other than Physique Cultivators, had an upper limit of 11 HP.
This was Sword Cultivators.
