Qing Province's capital, Fufeng.
Tianji Pavilion hung a plaque with the words "Qing Province Supervisor".
Inside the pavilion, three cultivators with solemn expressions stood in front of the Qing Province Supervisor's training hall.
"Supervisor Yun," the three cultivators respectfully called out to the Daoist sitting on the main seat.
The Daoist was tall and thin with shoulder-length white hair. He looked ordinary, but in reality, he was one of the cultivators with the highest status in Qing Province. He was the supervisor of the province, Yunlang True Venerable.
"Tower Lords, please take a seat." The Qing Province Supervisor invited the three tower lords to take a seat and asked in a deep voice, "Today, the three of you have come to this old Daoist's training hall. Is there something important?"
"Supervisor Yun, have you found any news about the Void Demon Child of the Underworld?" The person who asked was the vice head of Zhishou Tower's Qingzhou Tower, True Venerable Darknorth.
"Although the Void Demon Child has attacked twice in a row and left behind a lot of clues, he is still a person with extraordinary means. I've been trying my best to deduce and calculate, but I've only found some clues. It can't be considered a great harvest." The Qing Province Supervisor's expression was solemn.
Although he had the Heaven's Secrets Mirror, with the Void Demon Child's strength and means, if he used the Heaven's Secrets Mirror to observe the Void Demon Child's whereabouts, he wouldn't be able to bear the loss of lifespan.
Therefore, he could only use his own divination techniques and use the traces left behind by the Void Demon Child as an opportunity to deduce.
However, this process not only took a lot of time and effort, but it was also difficult to obtain the true core information.
It could only be said that he had found the end of a thread. As for how to use this thread to figure out the entire situation, it would depend on the Zhishou Pavilion's ability.
This was the most common way to use divination techniques.
It was impossible and unrealistic to use divination techniques to figure out all the mysteries of heaven.
The greatest use of divination was to create something out of nothing and find that one when there were no clues.
As for how to extend this thread of heaven's mysteries into more things, it would depend on the person who did it.
Pang Yang nodded. He was not surprised by Supervisor Yun's progress. "If the Zhishou Tower can provide you with a magic item that is closely connected to the Void Demon Son, or a magic item personally created by the Void Demon Son, would it be of help to Supervisor Yun's divination?"
Supervisor Yun had a look of disbelief on his face. "Tower Lord Pang, what do you mean?"
"Darknorth!" Patriarch Pang Yang instructed.
Darknorth True Sovereign stretched out his hand, revealing a purple spiritual bead that was spinning in his palm. A chilling aura lingered around it.
It was a spiritual bead magic item that was personally refined by the Void Demon Child and was imbued with the True Meaning of Space.
It was the spoils of war that Dantai Qingrun obtained from Li Zun's storage ring after killing him in the Demon Spirit Graveyard.
True Venerable Darknorth waved his hand, and the Purple Spirit Pearl slowly floated towards Supervisor Cloud.
Supervisor Yun excitedly took the spiritual bead and released his Divine Sense to feel it. His face was full of joy. "It is indeed a magic item that was created by the Void Demon Son."
"The three Tower Lords have great means. You can even obtain such an important item!" Supervisor Yun exclaimed.
Pang Yang nodded and said, "It's all because my subordinates have done a good job. It's also beyond my expectations to obtain such an unexpected reward."
"With this magic item, I'll definitely give the three Tower Lords accurate information within a month." Supervisor Yun stroked his beard and said with a smile, "If everything goes smoothly this time, I'm sure we can use this to eradicate the Void Demon Son and severely injure the Green Province Hades!"
"I hope so!" Pang Yang cupped his hands and said, "Then we won't disturb Supervisor Yun any longer. We'll take our leave first."
"Alright." Supervisor Yun did not keep the three of them.
.....
The three Tower Lords walked out of the Tianji Tower side by side.
"Darknorth, what's the specific situation of the two little cultivators that you mentioned who made great contributions? Can you tell me and the Tower Lords in detail?" Deputy Tower Lord Lv Yuan asked with interest.
"Yes, tell us the details." Pang Yang agreed.
"One of them is called Dantai Qingrun. She's from the Dantai Clan. Her talent is outstanding, and she's currently at the late-stage Golden Elixir cultivation base.
You should have some impression of her. She's the Zhenjiang Deputy Tower Lord who made great contributions during the Zhenjiang chaos. " True Venerable Darknorth had an extremely faint smile on his face. He was in a very good mood as he introduced, "I saw that her ability was outstanding, and on a whim, I transferred her to the Spiritual Ruins Tower that's been plagued with corruption for a long time.
But I didn't expect this transfer to give me such a great reward. "
After all, Dantai Qingrun was someone he valued. Her performance was commendable, and True Venerable Darknorth felt proud.
"Tantai Qingrun." Landlord Pang Yang repeated this name and said, "She has made great contributions in Zhenjiang and the Spiritual Ruins. Her abilities are outstanding and her potential is extraordinary. Beiming, how do you intend to reward her based on her contributions?"
"The Tower Lord of the Spiritual Ruins Tower, Sha Shuyan, is incompetent and mediocre. He's no longer qualified to be the Tower Lord." True Venerable Darknorth probed, "My idea is to let Dantai Qingrun take over the Spiritual Ruins Tower."
"A Golden Elixir Daoist as a Tower Lord." Pang Yang narrowed his eyes. "This seems to be unprecedented in the Zhishou Tower."
"This is just an idea of mine. The final decision will be made by the Tower Lord." True Venerable Darknorth said.
Pang Yang thought for a while and said, "The Tower Lord's position is very important. If one is not a Nascent Soul cultivator, it's really difficult to control a Manor. This is not suitable. As for the reward …"
After pausing for a while, Tower Master Pang Yang said firmly, "The Zhishou Tower's Sequence in Qingzhou hasn't been decided yet. It just so happens that Tantai Qingrun's cultivation in the later stage of Aurous Elixir also meets the requirements. Why don't we give it to her? With her ability, she will definitely be the mainstay of our Zhishou Tower after her cultivation is completed."
True Venerable Darknorth was stunned, but then he quickly agreed, "The Tower Lord is wise!"
In terms of value, the position of Zhishou Building's Echelon far surpassed the position of a Building Master. If not for Tantai Qingrun's extraordinary aptitude, Building Master Pang Yang would never have bestowed the Echelon position to her.
After deciding on Dantai Qingrun's reward, Pang Yang asked again, "What about the other cultivator?"
"The other cultivator is called Lu Qingshan. Although his cultivation is not high and he is only a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, his talent for cultivation is even better than Dantai Qingrun." True Venerable Darknorth introduced honestly. "According to my understanding, Lu Qingshan comes from the Zhenjiang Lu Family. His background is not prominent, but he has relied on himself to cultivate to such a level at the age of tying up his hair."
"Moreover, this child's battle prowess far surpasses cultivators of the same level." True Venerable Darknorth thought for a moment, then gave a brief introduction of Lu Qingshan's performance in the Demon Spirit Graveyard and gave such an evaluation. "With a Foundation Establishment cultivation, he was able to kill dozens of demonic beasts of the same level, including nearly ten third-grade demonic beasts. With such battle prowess, even if compared to the Foundation Establishment cultivators of our sect, he is definitely one of the best."
"Is that so?" Lv Yuan was shocked.
Among the three of them, in terms of background, True Venerable Darknorth was the most prominent. His sect was the most powerful sect in the entire Southern Region, and there was no other sect.
Therefore, True Venerable Darknorth's evaluation was really quite high.
A cultivator who relied on himself to cultivate to such a level was actually comparable to a disciple nurtured by a major sect with a top inheritance. This was quite a terrifying thing.
"Which sect is he from?" Pang Yang's eyes flashed.
"He is a sword cultivator like Dantai Qingrun." True Venerable Darknorth was a little helpless. "If he is a dharma cultivator, I will definitely try my best to recommend him into our sect. Unfortunately, he is a sword cultivator."
"Sword cultivator?" Pang Yang murmured. After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice, "Give him the secret sword technique in the tower as a reward."
"Tower Lord, are you talking about the secret sword technique that Sword Immortal Li cultivated in his early years?" Lv Yuan was shocked. "There are so many high-level sword cultivators in the tower, but none of them have successfully learned such a profound secret sword technique.
Even if we give it to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it will be useless. It is impossible for him to master it. "
Pavilion Master Pang Yang nodded and said, "The purpose of a cultivation technique is to be kept for others to cultivate. Since this Secret Sword Technique has been kept in the pavilion for a hundred years, there's no harm in letting a junior cultivator try it out."
Since Pang Yang was so insistent, Lv Yuan naturally did not have any objections.
"Give him some additional resources as a reward, in case the secret sword technique is really useless to him and he complains that the three tower lords are not in the mood to reward him." Pang Yang chuckled and said to True Venerable Darknorth.
"Understood. Don't worry, Tower Lord." True Venerable Darknorth cupped his hands and replied.
… ….
Spirit Ruins City.
Lu Qingshan moved his gaze away from the data panel.
Although the advancement mission of condensing the nine-patterned Golden Elixir was rather difficult, the rewards were definitely worth it.
When one reached the Golden Elixir stage, the bonuses brought about by the advancement of the Golden Elixir would no longer be fixed. Instead, it would be determined by the quality of the Golden Elixir.
Naturally, the nine-patterned Golden Elixir was the highest quality Golden Elixir, and the bonuses brought about by the Golden Elixir were also incomparable to the ordinary Golden Elixir.
In the nine days, when a player broke through to the Golden Elixir stage, their Divine Sense would increase by 50 points. After that, each small stage of the Golden Elixir stage would increase their Divine Sense by around 30 points.
In other words, if an ordinary cultivator did not cultivate the Divine Sense, their Primordial Spirit would only reach the middle stage of the Materialization Realm when they reached the peak of the Golden Elixir.
On the other hand, Lu Qingshan's nine-patterned Golden Elixir increased his Divine Sense by almost twice that of the ordinary Golden Elixir.
Therefore, when he had just condensed the Golden Elixir, Lu Qingshan's Primordial Spirit had already reached the middle stage of the Materialization Realm (255600). He had even surpassed most cultivators who were at the peak of the Golden Elixir stage.
This was how the gap between them slowly accumulated and piled up.
Moreover, the most praiseworthy thing was not the Primordial Spirit stage, but the sword will that Lu Qingshan had mastered.
It was the Weak Slaughter Sword Will.
The power of concept was the method that high-level cultivators relied on the most. It was divided into three stages: Weak, Unity, and Perfection.
The more common situation among cultivators was when they reached the Nascent Soul stage and began to feel the world. Only then would they gradually begin to comprehend their own power of concept.
Even a genius like Dantai Qingrun, who was at the peak of the Golden Elixir stage, could not comprehend a single sword will.
As for him, he had already comprehended this concept when he was still in the Foundation Establishment Stage. For sword cultivators, this concept could be considered the face of the world.
As the saying went, one step ahead would always lead to another.
With such a good foundation, when he reached the Nascent Soul stage, how strong would his sword will be?
After all, he still had the Daoist Canon as his foundation.
As a Daoist technique, the Daoist Canon did not have a powerful and strange ability like the Power of the Mountains and Seas. However, the attributes that it could increase one's aptitude were worthy of its name.
Increasing one's aptitude was the most terrifying and unparalleled power of creation.
…
Without thinking too much, Lu Qingshan stood up and opened the door to the quiet room.
The tall and slender Dantai Qingrun and Qin Yitian were waiting outside the door. The Western Rat King was obediently hanging by their feet.
When the two of them saw Lu Qingshan who had opened the door, their eyes lit up.
The aura emitted from Lu Qingshan's body, compared to the aura from the day before, was completely different.
Dantai Qingrun looked up and said softly, "Congratulations."
Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "Thank you."
Qin Yitian also bowed gracefully and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Young Master."
"You are indeed my good brother!" The Western Rat King was much more direct. He excitedly jumped onto Lu Qingshan's shoulder and said arrogantly, "Lu Qingshan, carry me on your shoulder and no one will dare to be arrogant in front of me!"
Lu Qingshan glanced at the smug West Rat King. He did not want to deal a blow to its arrogance.
Ever since it received the demonic spirit inheritance from the Gengjin Tiger King, the little rat demon became more arrogant. It was obvious that it had received something incredible.
However, when asked about the details, the little rat demon was secretive and refused to say much. It said that it wanted to give everyone a surprise when the time came. Lu Qingshan let it be.
"When you were preparing to break through, Master Darknorth took his leave and returned to the main building." The three of them walked side by side as Dantai Qingrun and Lu Qingshan explained the current situation.
"Sha Shuyan and Xian Huaibi can't escape the blame for their negligence. This trip to the Demon Spirit Graveyard is not enough to make up for their crimes. It seems like I can't keep my position as the Tower Master.
Master Darknorth seems to have some intentions to let me take over the Lingxu Tower. However, the position of the Tower Master has always been reserved for those below the Nascent Soul stage. Hence, this matter has not been confirmed.
As for you, according to your wishes, I have explained the situation to Master Darknorth. You have no intention of taking over the Zhishou Tower. The reward for you should be something tangible. "
"What's the situation at the Demon Spirit Graveyard?" Lu Qingshan asked.
"There was a huge commotion that day. Not long after, it attracted countless sects from the three prefectures to gather outside the graveyard." Dantai Qingrun said coldly, "However, the greatest treasure in the graveyard was the flesh of the Gengjin Tiger King and the inheritance that he left behind. They were all taken away by us.
When they entered, the most they could do was to disassemble the spiritual materials used to build the Four Spirits Qi Fostering Formation. Although it was valuable, it was nothing much.
However, because there were so many people and so many powers, there were many conflicts. It was said that many cultivators have died in the Demon Spirit Graveyard. "
Lu Qingshan nodded his head. This development was similar to what happened in his previous life.
With so many cultivators gathered in one place, it was inevitable that there would be conflicts.
Killing and arson was a golden belt. It was normal for there to be killings.
However, Lu Qingshan thought of something and frowned.
Dantai Qingrun noticed that Lu Qingshan was deep in thought. She understood and asked, "Is there a problem?"
"There's something that I don't understand," Lu Qingshan said after a moment of silence.
Dantai Qingrun raised her eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"
Lu Qingshan explained, "Although the flesh of the Gengjin Tiger King is extremely valuable, it is not to the extent that the Hades of the Spiritual Mound would use all their power to obtain it.
Not to mention, the Demon of the Void would even bestow a treasure with the True Meaning of Space. "
"That's true!" Dantai Qingrun was shocked by Lu Qingshan's reminder.
After thinking for a while, Dantai Qingrun analyzed, "If that's the case, there are only two possibilities.
One is that the flesh of the Gengjin Tiger King is only on the surface. The Hades are after something else.
The other possibility is that the flesh of the Gengjin Tiger King has a deeper meaning to the Hades that we are not aware of. It is definitely not just for the surface of the spiritual materials. "
Lu Qingshan nodded his head and agreed, "I think so too. Furthermore, I have a feeling that there is more to it than we think …"
