Thousand Beauty Pavilion.
True Venerable Darknorth looked Lu Qingshan up and down. "Do you know that among the 21 cultivators who fell into the spatial fault in the Underworld's main altar in the Qing Province, you're the first to return? You might even be the only one."
Lu Qingshan nodded. "I was lucky. After falling into the spatial fault, I encountered a stable spatial crack and was able to escape."
"You were indeed lucky." True Venerable Darknorth didn't doubt him.
He didn't think that a Golden Elixir Daoist would have a way to escape from the spatial fault.
"You are the cultivator most valued by Dantai Qingrun. If you really died like this, I wouldn't be able to explain it to Dantai Qingrun." True Venerable Darknorth smiled. "It's good that you came back."
Lu Qingshan's eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "I wonder what happened at the headquarters in the Qing Province that day. What happened to the Void Demon and … Luo Hou?"
True Venerable Darknorth sighed. He didn't hide anything from Lu Qingshan and briefly explained what happened after he fell into the spatial fault.
"They ran away?" Lu Qingshan murmured.
His mood was a bit complicated.
If he remembered correctly, according to the original trajectory of history, the Zhishou Tower would find out about the Azure Hades Headquarters and make a move ten years later.
At that time, the Zhishou Tower succeeded in killing the Void Demon Child on the spot.
Now, the time of action had been brought forward ten years, but the Void Demon Child had escaped because of this.
With my participation, will the plot develop in a direction that is beneficial to the human race, or will it become worse than before?
Lu Qingshan was a bit uncertain.
"This time, all the cultivators who participated in the Battle of Huang Huang will be rewarded generously.
Since you've encountered such a dangerous situation, I can increase your reward by thirty percent. As compensation, see if there are any spirit items you need and go to the Treasure Vault to retrieve them. "True Venerable Darknorth didn't say anything else and tossed a spirit talisman to Lu Qingshan as proof.
"Thank you, True Sovereign Darknorth." Lu Qingshan took the talisman, cupped his hands, and took his leave.

Green Wind Realm, Treasure Trove Palace.
This was one of the most important places of the Zhishou Building's main building in the Green Province. Not only was there a high-grade array formation set up, there were even Nascent Souls guarding this place – it was a forbidden ground where outsiders were not allowed to enter.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, this place was very quiet and deserted.
Lu Qingshan threw in a talisman from outside the protective formation of the Treasure Vault.
Above the light shield of the great array, a hole slowly opened, and Lu Qingshan walked in from it.
The Treasure Vault occupied a vast area with divine light hidden within.
Of course, as such an important place, Lu Qingshan wasn't qualified to enter the Treasure Vault personally to pick out the spirit materials. He could only submit his request to the Nascent Souls guarding the Treasure Vault outside the Treasure Vault and let them retrieve them.
"Two taels of Withered Dragon Wood, six taels of Purple Thorn Divine Copper, nine taels of Sheep-Fat White Jade Essence, four taels of Earth Dragon Essence. These four will do. I'll have to trouble you, True Lord." Lu Qingshan reported his requests to True Lord Ku Shou.
True Lord Ku Shou frowned slightly and looked at Lu Qingshan in surprise.
As a Nascent Soul who guarded the Treasure Vault, he had a certain level of understanding towards all sorts of spirit materials. The few materials that Lu Qingshan mentioned were not ordinary items.
Given the value of these spirit materials, it was impossible for a Golden Elixir Daoist to purchase them.
Instinctively, True Lord Ku Shou extended his spirit consciousness into the spirit talisman in his hands. When he saw the amount displayed, he could not help but be stunned.
What sort of great merit did this measly Golden Elixir cultivator before him make for the Treasure Vault to be so generous?
Lu Qingshan had a calm expression.
The spirit materials he requested were all required for the Peach Blossom Sword to advance to a superior-grade heaven weapon.
The four spiritual materials were all grade six spiritual materials, and their value was self-evident.
Withered Dragon Wood was a material required for True Dragons to build their nests and was one of the toughest wood-attribute spirit materials.
Earth Dragon Essence was an extremely rare mineral. Apart from being used to refine spirit weapons, it was also often used as the main ingredient for body tempering elixirs and had endless uses.
Sheep-Fat White Jade was an extremely precious spirit jade that was as white as sheep-fat. It contained spirit essence and was beneficial to the spirit. If it was added during the refinement of spirit weapons, cultivators would be able to wield spirit weapons with greater ease.
Purple Spike Divine Copper was an extremely precious material for refining weapons. It was extremely durable and hard and spirit weapons refined from it were extremely difficult to damage.
True Lord Ku Shou did not say anything else. He put away the spirit talisman and turned to walk into the hall.
Not long after, True Lord Ku Shou came out with a storage bag and tossed it to Lu Qingshan.
"The spirit materials you requested are all extremely precious. Even with your merit, you can only exchange for one of them.
We don't have Withered Dragon Wood and Earth Dragon Essence. You requested too much Sheep-Fat White Jade Essence, so we can't gather all of it for you. If we give you half, you'll have to search for more in the future and it won't help you.
However, we do have a surplus of Purple Spike Divine Copper, so I chose this for you. You can check if the quantity is correct. "True Lord Ku Shou was very kind and considerate.
"Thank you, True Lord," Lu Qingshan checked the storage bag with his spirit consciousness. After confirming that the quantity was correct, he bade farewell and left.
Lu Qingshan's heart ached as he held the storage bag with six taels of Purple Spike Divine Copper in his hand.
Sure enough, this sword of his really was a wastrel that burned through experience and money.
Thankfully, he only had the Peach Blossom Sword to feed. The Dragon Sparrow Sword was already dao rank, so he didn't need to expend any more resources to upgrade it.
The Heavenly Sword was still the best. It was sensible, obedient, and economical.
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Aside from upgrading the Peach Blossom Sword, he also had something else to burn through.
The Five Elemental Sword Armor.
The Five Elemental Sword Armor was a special spell technique that could be improved. It was also somewhat similar to a spirit tool.
The Five Elemental Sword Armors he was currently refining were all third-grade armors. Third-grade armors could defend against attacks that corresponded to the Golden Elixir Daoist.
As his only defensive spell technique, this grade was still not enough for Lu Qingshan.
He was preparing to slowly upgrade the Five Elemental Sword Armor to a fourth-grade armor.
He also needed a large number of spirit stones to purchase the spirit materials required to refine the fourth-grade armor.
Thankfully, Lu Qingshan still had a large pile of treasures that he hadn't sold yet.
These treasures all came from Granny Golden Snake's storage ring. The amount of spirit items within it was unimaginable.
As a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator who had led the Five Tribe Alliance for more than a hundred years, Granny Golden Snake still had an astronomical amount of spirit materials and spirit stones left even though she had used up most of them for her own cultivation.
Furthermore, the witchcraft cultivators were located within the Three Thousand Mountains. Furthermore, they were proficient in the art of poison. Thus, most of the items in Granny Golden Snake's storage ring were spirit medicines.
For Lu Qingshan, who knew nothing about other skills apart from the Dao of the Sword, there wasn't much use for these items other than to resell them.
