The atmosphere was strangely silent for a moment.
"Even if the Cakravarti King were to do it again, he wouldn't say something so outrageous …" Lian Gang muttered.
"You've absorbed all the Origin Power in the core of the Soul-Cleansing Pool?" Ming Hou raised an eyebrow, somewhat in disbelief.
Lu Qingshan thought for a moment, then nodded and said with certainty, "I should have absorbed it all. There's only some Origin Power left in the periphery.
I understand that it's not easy to produce Origin Power. If I take it all away, the latecomers will have nothing to gain. I think this is too appropriate, so I stopped. "
"I'm here to thank you on behalf of the cultivators who came later." Jin Xing looked at the serious Lu Qingshan and thought to himself.
Lu Qingshan had a smile on his face.
The periphery that he spoke of was really the periphery.
This was because after he had extracted all the Origin Power in the core, he had also released his Divine Sense and roamed around the periphery of the core. He did not stop until he had also plundered all the Origin Power in the vicinity of the core.
As for the Origin Power left in the outermost periphery of the Soul-Cleansing Pool, he felt it slightly. There should not be more than twenty strands in total. Hence, he did not do anything like that.
He had always been a fastidious person.
This time, he had extracted a total of one hundred and sixty-four strands of Origin Power from the Soul-Cleansing Pool, which was equivalent to nine million eight hundred and forty thousand experience points.
Of course, if the Origin Power was extracted and refined properly, it would increase a cultivator's cultivation base. If converted into data, it would definitely be more than sixty thousand experience points.
But the problem was that if he did not convert it into experience points, Lu Qingshan would have to be like other cultivators, extracting strands of Origin Power with great difficulty, and then spend a lot of time to refine them and convert them into his own cultivation base.
The amount of time and energy required for this was unimaginable.
In a year's time, if he could extract more than thirty strands of Origin Power on his own, it would already be considered a rare feat.
It wouldn't have taken ten days to extract all of the elemental energy in the core of the core like it was now.
It did not matter if the experience points converted from a strand of Origin Power were less. He could win with quantity.
This was called small profits but quick turnover.
Just like Spirit Crystals.
The value of the Spirit Crystal was definitely not just 50,000 EXP. However, Lu Qingshan also chose to convert the Spirit Crystal into EXP instead of maximizing its value.
This was because the loss of EXP had been exchanged for an increase in efficiency.
And time was exactly what he valued the most right now.
Seize every minute.
Even though his current growth in strength had far exceeded the original storyline timeline, Lu Qingshan's heart had never relaxed in the slightest.
Shura's decision to launch the Corpse Puppet Rebellion in advance made him understand that this was a real world.
The actions of the Demons and the Hades would also change according to the changes in the situation, and not rigidly follow the established plan.
…
With the EXP gained from the Spirit Cleansing Pool and his original 700,000 EXP, Lu Qingshan's total EXP had already exceeded eight digits.
The total experience points required to cultivate the entire Nascent Soul chapter of the Heaven-Severing Sword Sutra was only 10,000,000 points.
In other words, as long as Lu Qingshan was willing, he could immediately reach the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage.
.....
There was another moment of silence. After gradually accepting this setting in his heart, Ming Hou, who had maintained a calm expression, slowly asked, "May I know your name?"
With his Soul Formation Stage cultivation base, he could naturally sense that Lu Qingshan's current appearance was not his true appearance, but a mask created by using a Dharma artifact.
Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment and put away the illusion of the Nightwalker Ancient Jade, revealing his true appearance. He chuckled and said, "Sword Sect, Lu Qingshan."
Since his cultivation base had recovered, he was no longer afraid of revealing his true identity.
If this could attract people with ill intentions, that would be more than welcome.
As long as those people thought that he was an early-stage Nascent Soul Stage cultivator and targeted him, he would definitely let them know what it meant to pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger.
When the four of them saw Lu Qingshan's true appearance and knew his true background, they were all shocked.
So he was the champion of the Seven Regions Dao Discussion …
In their impression, Lu Qingshan should have been the Golden Elixir Daoist during the Seven Regions Dao Discussion.
Where did the Qi Refinement Stage cultivator who just came to the Spirit Cleansing Pool come from?
There was indeed a hidden story behind advancing from the Qi Refinement Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage in a hundred days.
However, no matter how curious they were, they would not ask about the specific details of this hidden story.
As an old demon who had cultivated for hundreds or even thousands of years, they still had a sense of propriety.
With many thoughts in his mind, Ming Hou spoke again and kindly reminded, "You've only been in the Spirit Cleansing Pool for a hundred days. According to the crystal token, you can cultivate in the Spirit Cleansing Pool for a year.
However, if you leave early now, the remaining cultivation time will only be wasted and will not be reserved for you. This is the rule of the Spirit Cleansing Pool.
Even if the Spirit Cleansing Pool does not have Origin Power, with the concentration of Spiritual Power, it should be greatly beneficial to a cultivator's cultivation. It's best not to waste it. "
Lu Qingshan shook his head and said sincerely, "My cultivation aptitude is ordinary. The Spirit Cleansing Pool does not benefit my cultivation that much after removing the Origin Power, so there's no point in staying any longer."
This was indeed the case.
Unless it was a spiritual object that could be condensed into Spirit Crystals or Origin Power that could be directly converted into experience points, it would not be of much help to his cultivation if the Spirit Qi was just a little richer.
The reason why he was able to use the Spirit Cleansing Pool's Spirit Qi to advance from the Qi Refinement Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage was that his Nascent Soul Stage was still there. It was equivalent to the pool being built and he only needed to fill it up.
However, if he wanted to raise his cultivation in the future, he would have to slowly use Spirit Qi to expand this pool.
With his Spirit Root aptitude, even in a secret cultivation place like the Spirit Cleansing Pool, the price-performance ratio of bitter cultivation was not high.
After Lu Qingshan's extremely sincere words, everyone looked at him strangely.
"I misjudged him. I didn't expect this kid to be so good at pretending." Ming Hou secretly said in his heart.
"I saw that this kid looked like a dog and thought that he was a person with a mellow character. I didn't expect him to be a real dog." Lian Gang could not help but mutter.
The other two did not have much good to say in their hearts.
Lu Qingshan, as the champion of the Seven Regions Dao Discussion, is it appropriate for you to be humble about your cultivation aptitude? Do you think we are fools?
We would be fools to believe your words.
"Chief Lu really likes to joke." Ming Hou's mental fortitude was strong. Although he ridiculed in his heart, he said with a smile on his face.
Lu Qingshan did not mind and bid farewell to the four people.
After Lu Qingshan slowly descended the mountain and left the Spirit Cleansing Pool.
"The yuan power of the [Spirit Cleansing Pool] is so depleted. This time, it will have to be sealed for at least ten years before it can be opened again." Ming Hou looked at the [Spirit Cleansing Pool], muttering softly, intentionally or otherwise. "In the next ten years, our supply will sharply decrease."
As cultivators of the Da Xia Kingdom, they were ordered to guard the Spirit Cleansing Pool and receive cultivators who came to the Spirit Cleansing Pool to cultivate. Naturally, they had various cultivation resources as remuneration.
However, once the Spirit Cleansing Pool was depleted of Spirit Qi and the mountain was sealed, then they would be idle and have nothing to do.
Although the supply during this period would not be completely cut off, it was inevitable that it would be sharply reduced.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Three gazes, six eyes, in the next moment, swept toward the embarrassed Lian Gang at the side at the same time.
"Indeed, there is nothing to be afraid of even if another Cakravarti King comes …" Lian Gang pursed his lips and said weakly, "The problem is, he is not the Cakravarti King …"
Lian Gang's words were very reasonable, but the others did not accept it.
"Wait, Lu Qingshan." Wu Zhenshan suddenly thought of something and his eyes flashed. "I seem to have heard that after the Sword Sect was opened, the first disciple that His Highness took in was this Lu Qingshan who entered the Sword Sect as the chief …"
"Like teacher, like disciple …" Jin Xing was stunned for a moment before he spoke in a faint voice.
Everyone had mixed feelings. In the end, they tacitly stared at the great cultivator Lian Gang who did not dare to speak.
"It's all the Cakravarti King's fault!"
Lian Gang unconsciously shrank his head under the stares of his colleagues and said angrily in his heart.
…
"It's about time to return to the sect and inform the Taibai Sword Master of the news of Senior Brother Ji Chuan."
After leaving the Soul-cleansing Pool, Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "Then, I will finish digesting the Thunder-generating Fruit and Jade Leaf left by Hillghost in the sect. Then, my strength will rise to another level."
It had been less than half a year since he left the sect, and he had already transformed from a late-stage Golden Elixir cultivator to this level. The encounters he had had were quite strange.
.....
White Horse City again.
In the square in front of the Tianji Tower.
It was the time when the Tianji Tower updated the rankings of the Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow Lists.
As usual, this place was bustling with noise and excitement.
There was no lack of gossiping among the cultivators, and everyone admired Qiang.
"I wonder if there will be any changes to the four lists today."
In the crowd, a pleasant-looking girl pouted and pulled a man with sword-like eyebrows to stand in front of the jade wall with flagging interest.
"What's wrong? Aren't you most interested in the changes of the four lists in the past?" Li Zhanjin looked at his sister, who had been a little unhappy since the Fenglingjiang incident, and said helplessly, "What's wrong? Are the four lists not interesting anymore?"
"Yes, they are not interesting anymore," Li Baoping replied sullenly.
Li Zhanjin was helpless, but he did not take it seriously.
After all, she was a little girl with a fickle temperament. He estimated that after a while, she would be the mischievous girl again, and not the worried girl who "just frowned but was worried about something" now.
On the jade wall, ripples suddenly flickered like water waves.
Li Zhanjin's heart skipped a beat, and he knew that the latest rankings were updated.
He glanced at the four lists, and the discussion of other cultivators came to his ears.
"'Black Shatuo' Cui Hao is suspected to have comprehended the Upper Level Conception, the Gravity Conception … Hiss, if it's true, this Cui Hao has already comprehended four Upper Level Conceptions … 24th on the Yellow List … He actually went up two places directly …"
"After all, it's a Upper Level Conception, which can greatly increase a cultivator's combat power. It's just that comprehending so many Conceptions, no matter how strong he is, how can he break through to the Void Refinement Realm?" Another person interjected, "Haoran Sword Ji Chuan has been stuck in the Nascent Soul Realm for a long time because of the Reincarnation Sword Intent …"
"That's true. Comprehending too many Conceptions has its advantages and disadvantages."
"Hey, 'Blood Spirit' Zhou Yuan, who just got on the Yellow List last week, actually got off the list." Someone said in surprise.
"What's so strange about that? The 100th place on the Yellow List is the most easily changed position." A knowledgeable man pointed out.
"That's right," another talkative cultivator interrupted and asked, "Who replaced the position of 'Blood Spirit'? Did 'Green Jade Body' Shi Gang come back again? "
"It's not that Shi Gang came back, and it's not that someone replaced the position of 'Blood Spirit'. It's that someone pushed him down." The previous cultivator murmured, "Who is this Lu Qingshan? How could he get the 95th place on the Yellow List the first time he got on it …"
Li Zhanying's pupils suddenly shrank when he heard that. He glanced at the Yellow List. After a few more glances, he suppressed the shock in his heart and hurriedly pulled his dejected sister aside, "Little Ping Ping, look!"
"Look at what …" Li Baoping subconsciously raised her head and looked at the place where his brother pointed.
When she saw the content, the little girl unconsciously opened her mouth wide, revealing two rows of snow-white fine teeth.
She saw the words on the jade wall:

.....
"Ranked on the Yellow List at Early Nascent Soul Realm? Is this for real?
I've lived long enough to see! Is it because Lu Qingshan's master is Luoshen Fairy Luoshen? Is the Heaven Secrets Temple trying to curry favor with the 'strongest Realm Seven' that they've appointed? Is the Yellow List starting to be shady? "After seeing Lu Qingshan's cultivation, a monkey-faced cultivator subconsciously said.
"What are you jealous of? The battle record is there. Do you not want to see it, or are you unconvinced?" Li Baoping, who was originally shocked, immediately came back to her senses after hearing this. She pointed at the monkey-faced cultivator's nose and shouted.
"Why are you so agitated? I'm talking about him. What does it have to do with a little girl like you? Don't tell me you're familiar with Lu Qingshan? "The monkey-faced cultivator was embarrassed by the little girl's scolding and retorted.
At this moment, Li Zhanying subconsciously took half a step forward and stood in front of his little sister.
"That's right!" Li Baoping was waiting for someone to ask this question. She immediately put her hands on her waist and said proudly, "I'm very familiar with Big Brother Lu. I even treated him to a meal before!"
"You're boasting!" After being punished by Li Baoping in front of everyone, the monkey-faced cultivator said indignantly, "What's there to be proud of? You're only at the bottom of the Yellow List. Maybe in a few days, you'll be pushed down from the list like 'Blood Spirit' Zhou Yuan."
"So what? Big Brother Lu can at least be on the Yellow List once." The little girl giggled and said, "In your life, let alone the Yellow List, you probably won't even get a Golden Elixir. What right do you have to mock someone who is on the Yellow List?"
After Li Baoping finished speaking, the surrounding cultivators could not help but laugh.
The monkey-faced cultivator was embarrassed, but he could not win the argument. He could only stare fiercely at Li Baoping.
Li Baoping did not hesitate to stare back. Her eyes were much bigger than the monkey-faced cultivator's.
After losing again, the monkey-faced cultivator slipped away dejectedly.
As for Li Baoping, there was no longer any dejection on her face.
"When did you become so familiar with Lu Qingshan …" Li Zhanying muttered softly.
But the sharp-eared Li Baoping heard it.
The little girl said confidently, "We've already had a meal together. How can we not be familiar?"
.....
This was just a small episode.
The surrounding cultivators soon began to discuss the rankings of the four lists in full swing.
Some were discussing the great cultivators on the Heaven List. Some were discussing the changes in the rankings.
Some were debating whether Lu Qingshan could stay on the Yellow List for a long time.
There were also a few people who thought that since Lu Qingshan could be on the Yellow List at the initial Nascent Soul stage, after a few years, his cultivation would gradually improve and his ranking would also rise by leaps and bounds.
