The Demon Lord's residence occupied an extremely vast area, so it was equipped with all kinds of facilities.
Lu Qingshan and Ying Mingyue didn't need to spend any more effort to find a place. There was a place for them to compete in the residence.
Weapon Drill Stage.
This was a huge square paved with huge green stones.
Overall, the style was quite rough and primitive, but it was also very majestic.
At this moment, a man and a woman were confronting each other in the center of the square.
Ying Mingyue held a long saber in her hand.
This was a demonic weapon created by her "Furnace Refinement" talent.
Her cold eyes were staring at Lu Qingshan, exuding a sharp and heroic aura.
Ying Mingyue didn't think much of Lu Qingshan, and even felt a little disdainful of him.
However, since Lu Qingshan dared to take the initiative to challenge her, there was no doubt that he must have some confidence.
No one was a fool.
"Qing Ge" wasn't, and neither was she.
She did not dare to let her guard down in the slightest for this battle.
Lu Qingshan held the "Black Blood" and looked at Ying Mingyue calmly.
There were only three people in the spacious square.
After all, it was a fight between family members. If news of it spread, it wouldn't be good.
Therefore, other than the Demon Lord Shi Wu, no one else could watch.
The Demon Lord Shi Wu's shrewd eyes swept across Lu Qingshan's face.
There was no change in his expression, but he was thinking about something in his heart.
Everyone said that this "Qing Ge" was a reckless man, but from the way he spoke just now, he didn't seem to be as reckless and brainless as the rumors said.
He understood a principle.
What could be investigated might not necessarily be true.
Because most of the time, it was very likely that it was just what others wanted you to see.
However, after this battle, he should be able to see some of Qing Ge's capabilities, and he would have an idea in his heart.
"Let's begin," the Demon Lord Shi Wu said indifferently.
The moment his voice fell, Lu Qingshan took the initiative to attack.
Demonic Qi rushed out of his body, surging with astonishing power.
The dark golden patterns on the Black Blood in his hand flickered.
In the next moment, he charged forward with his sword.
When Ying Mingyue saw this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
At this moment, she could clearly feel that Lu Qingshan's cultivation and momentum were inferior to hers.
The Demon Qi that Lu Qingshan released, whether in terms of density or purity, was only at the elementary Demon General level.
Even among the elementary level Devil Generals, they were considered weak.
He thought that Zhang Xuan was hiding his strength.
Sure enough, I was thinking too much.
Ying Mingyue thought to herself as her confidence soared.
In an instant, her figure charged forward, her speed much faster than Lu Qingshan's.
The saber streaked across the sky like a line of frost. Ripples appeared in the air under the blade.
Her blade was aimed directly at Lu Qingshan's head.
Chi!
The two people's bodies had already overlapped on a flat surface. The black blood and the long saber in Ying Mingyue's hands collided.
A huge force spread out.
A sharp light flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes. The black blood in his hand slightly tilted and rubbed against Ying Mingyue's saber. Then, it went along with her blade and smoothly slashed horizontally.
Whoosh!
The black blood drew an exquisite arc and went straight for Ying Mingyue's neck.
Ying Mingyue's expression changed slightly. She hurriedly took a step back and retreated.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Four consecutive explosions sounded. The speed of Lu Qingshan's sword suddenly accelerated four times in a row.
Under the four stacks, the speed was so fast that it made people's hearts palpitate. The power also increased a lot.
After the four consecutive accelerations, Ying Mingyue's retreating speed was no match for Lu Qingshan's sword.
Clang!
The long sword in Lu Qingshan's hand collided with Ying Mingyue's wrist, causing her to retreat rapidly.
Bang!
A deep pit was created on the ground by her rapid retreat. Gravel splashed everywhere.
The first confrontation between the two ended with a single touch.
Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes and looked at Ying Mingyue's right wrist.
A misty light flashed in that direction. Then, the light faded, and an inconspicuous white mark appeared.
His sword didn't even break Ying Mingyue's skin.
"The foundation of the God-Devil Body," Lu Qingshan murmured in his heart.
This was the difference between the Sixth Stage and the Fifth Stage.
Divine Transformation Stage cultivators had yuanli that Void Refinement Stage cultivators couldn't compare with.
Sixth Stage Devil Cultivators had the foundation of the God-Devil Body that Fifth Stage Devil Cultivators didn't have. They were almost invulnerable and had mastered some special divine abilities.
"The power of his sword style isn't strong, but it's as if it was made by nature. It's far better than mine."
Ying Mingyue didn't take the "injury" on her wrist seriously. However, she was somewhat afraid of Lu Qingshan's means.
"I admit that your moves are good. The realm of your sword technique is far better than my saber technique. However, your cultivation is really ordinary." Ying Mingyue didn't care about the loss of this move. Like a gust of wind, she swept out again.
In Ying Mingyue's eyes, Lu Qingshan was already a silver spear that focused on moves and ignored cultivation.
In the eyes of Demons, moves were just fancy things. It couldn't be said that they didn't cultivate at all, but they didn't really care about them.
Strength was the way of the king!
Facing Ying Mingyue's attack and ridicule, Lu Qingshan didn't reply. He waved the black blood in his hand again. His speed soared to the extreme like lightning.
The speed of the two was so fast that they left afterimages.
After all, it was just a spar without any benefits. Therefore, the two didn't use their full strength. They were testing each other's strength.
Lu Qingshan attacked again and again. His sword style was like moving clouds and flowing water, wave after wave.
Compared to Lu Qingshan, Ying Mingyue felt that her saber technique was simple and crude for the first time.
"What a good" Seven Deadly "sword technique." Shi Wu Demon Venerable, who was watching the battle, praised in his heart.
With his knowledge, he recognized Lu Qingshan's moves and foundation at a glance. "This kid's foundation of swordsmanship is extremely deep. It's rare among Demons. Obviously, he has worked hard on it."
Judging people by martial arts.
Seeing the whole leopard at one spot.
Under the trend of Demons' heavy and light techniques, how could a person who could endure loneliness, calm down, and concentrate on practicing swordsmanship be an ordinary person?
His evaluation of Lu Qingshan had already risen a lot at this time.
On the other side, the confrontation between Lu Qingshan and Ying Mingyue was still going on.
On the field, relying on the advantage of his skills, Lu Qingshan temporarily had the upper hand.
But in fact, he wasn't as relaxed as he imagined.
The spiritual power of the Nine Flower Realm did give him the qualification to talk to a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator on an equal footing.
However, in this situation, he couldn't use many of his sword techniques. He could only use the Demons' attacks to confront Ying Mingyue head-on.
Ying Mingyue's skin was rough and her flesh was thick. Even if he hit her with one or two moves, she wouldn't be injured at all. Naturally, she was very fierce.
He also had the title of "Rough Skin", but he didn't have the ability to do so.
Therefore, Lu Qingshan didn't dare to show any flaws and let Ying Mingyue take advantage of him.
After all, he knew his own body best.
Under this restriction, the opponent could make countless mistakes, but he couldn't make a single mistake.
The confrontation continued.
Suddenly, Ying Mingyue seemed to have tested enough. Her figure flashed and changed like a ghost. Her saber was extremely fierce, like a big stone rolling down a mountain, rumbling.
Whoosh!
The saber broke through the air with a terrifying momentum.
A black light appeared on the saber. The black light quickly expanded and turned into a shining golden color, aiming at Lu Qingshan's face.
It was so fast that there was no way to avoid it.
There was a trace of saber light left in the air.
So what if the move was exquisite?
It was enough to defeat ten with one move.
Ying Mingyue was very confident in her saber.
She had already figured out Lu Qingshan's moves.
At this moment, she had unleashed the full power of a high-level Demon General, not holding back in the slightest.
Let's see how you can deal with it.
She was determined to win.
Lu Qingshan's face turned cold when he saw this.
He could feel the tyrannical power in this attack. The power was as vast as the ocean, and the blade was as cold as a cold light. It was going to take him down in one move.
However, he didn't panic and had no way to deal with it.
Whoosh!
Condensing Qi and gathering will, Lu Qingshan waved the black blood in his right hand again.
At this moment, on the black blood, the dark golden sword threads shone like the sun, intertwining like stars in the sky.
In an instant, the long sword released a power far stronger than before, and the speed was so fast that it brought out a sword shadow, shocking people.
The sword and the saber violently collided.
The sword light gushed out, and the saber light exploded. After a clang, the two of them were sent flying at the same time.
After landing on the ground, the fear in Ying Mingyue's eyes deepened.
The power of Lu Qingshan's sword had suddenly increased a lot!
What kind of method was this?
Ying Mingyue was a little surprised.
Lu Qingshan held his sword and didn't say anything.
The reason why he was able to block Ying Mingyue's sure-win move was because his sword just now was also accompanied by the explosive skill of Zhen Tian and Zhan Feng's sword skill.
The secret sword could only be used as a great move in the game.
However, in reality, it could bring Lu Qingshan a lot of benefits from comprehending by analogy.
It was like if you learned how to sing in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, those vocal skills could also be used in other simple songs.
Although it couldn't increase the power of Heaven Suppression by fifteen times or Wind Slayer's one sword to two, it could increase the power of Seven Arts to a certain extent.
Ying Mingyue was surprised, but she was still unconvinced. She was restless and ready to attack again.
But at this time, Shi Wu Demon Venerable suddenly spoke, stopping the two of them from continuing.
"Okay, let's call it a day."
"Father?" Ying Mingyue turned her head and looked at Shi Wu Demon Venerable unwillingly.
Shi Wu Demon Venerable said calmly, "It's just a spar. Enough.
You two will be husband and wife in the future. If you fight to the death here, where is the propriety? "
On Lu Qingshan's side, he had already obediently put away the black blood.
He had achieved his goal.
After a short spar with Ying Mingyue, he had a clearer understanding of his own strength.
With the accumulation of the Nine Flower Realm and his own Sword Dao Realm, he could temporarily exchange a few moves with a high-level Demon General without using the methods of a Sword Cultivator.
But if they really fought to the death, he was definitely not a match.
It was a very standard beginner level Demon General's battle strength.
It matched Qing Ge's battle strength very well.
"Humph, if father hadn't stopped me, today I would have taught you a lesson and let you know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Ying Mingyue did not dare to disobey her father, but her dissatisfaction with Lu Qingshan still existed.
Because based on the current situation, if they continued to fight, she would definitely win.
So in her view, Shi Wu Demon Venerable was completely biased towards Qing Ge.
Ying Mingyue was very unhappy!
Lu Qingshan kept his mouth shut — — The fact was, although he had many means, but under the eyes of Shi Wu Demon Venerable, he did not dare to use any of them, so there was no way to turn the situation around.
"Mingyue, Qing Ge has mastered the 'Army' word technique." Seeing Lu Qingshan did not explain, Shi Wu Demon Venerable looked at him with a hint of appreciation, and even took the initiative to speak up for him. "If you have to fight to the death, you may not necessarily win."
With that, Shi Wu Demon Venerable turned around and returned to the main hall.
"He actually …?!" Ying Mingyue's pupils shrank when she heard this, her face filled with disbelief.
As a member of the Soldier Demon Clan, how could she not know the power of the 'Army' word technique?
In fact, Shi Wu Demon Venerable's words were already considered polite.
After using the 'Army' word technique, it was not difficult for Qing Ge, who was only inferior to her in cultivation, but far superior to her in other aspects, to defeat her.
She had no doubt about this.
But …
This guy was so powerful?!
Not to mention that his moves were superb, but he was only a junior Demon General, yet he could master the 'Army' word technique?
As the beloved daughter of Shi Wu Demon Venerable, she had been exposed to the 'Army' word technique since a long time ago, but she could not find the door.
What she could not do, he could do …
Ying Mingyue glanced at the calm Lu Qingshan again.
He was obviously so powerful and had the strength to surpass her, but in the face of her ridicule, he did not even argue.
Victory but not arrogance.
With this thought, the subconscious mentality of admiring the strong, and the influence of Lu Qingshan's temperament, Ying Mingyue suddenly found that the disgust in her heart toward 'Qing Ge' had disappeared a lot.
And this was only the result of a battle …
Lu Qingshan did not know the change in Ying Mingyue's heart. He just silently followed Shi Wu Demon Venerable back to the meeting hall.
Ying Mingyue landed on the ground and looked at their backs. She bit her lips and finally followed.
In the main hall.
The three sat down again.
"When do you think the wedding date should be?" Shi Wu Demon Venerable went straight to the point as soon as he sat down.
Lu Qingshan frowned slightly and was about to say something, but Ying Mingyue beat him to it and said anxiously, "Ten years, no … Twenty years later."
"Nonsense!" Shi Wu Demon Venerable shouted, "Qing Ge is already here. How can we get married twenty years later? Those who don't know will think that our Ying Family is bullying Qing Ge! "
Being lectured like this, Ying Mingyue also felt that she was in the wrong. She stammered, "Then three years … I don't have any feelings for him. How can we get married directly?"
"Feelings can be slowly nurtured after marriage," Shi Wu Demon Venerable said matter-of-factly, "Three years is too long. It's better to get married as soon as possible."
"Qing Ge, what do you think?" Shi Wu Demon Venerable turned to ask Lu Qingshan for his opinion.
His tone had unknowingly become much more amiable.
Lu Qingshan pretended to ponder.
Actually, Lu Qingshan could not agree more with Ying Mingyue's suggestion.
Not to mention ten or twenty years, he was even willing to get married a hundred years later.
Otherwise, would he really have to marry a Demon?
He was not willing.
Although Ying Mingyue was not bad looking and had a good figure, she was still a Demon.
Humans and Demons could not coexist.
Moreover, among the women he knew, Hidden Sword, Qin Yitian, Lin Yao, Xia Daoyun … Which one of them was not prettier than Ying Mingyue?
…
However, he was still playing the role of Qing Ge.
From Qing Ge's point of view, he should be in a hurry to get married.
"It's not a big problem to get married three years later. It's not like I can't accept it."
Lu Qingshan thought for a moment and said calmly, "Since Miss Mingyue is not willing to marry me so hastily, I can respect her wishes."
Ying Mingyue suddenly turned her head and looked at Lu Qingshan with a strange light in her eyes.
She also had a clear idea in her heart. The reason why Qing Ge was willing to become this adopted son-in-law was because of the Bloodgod Gravel mine.
Naturally, the sooner they got married, the better it would be for him to get the mine.
Moreover, he was just a son-in-law. If he did not get married after he had already married into her family, it was easy to imagine how others would look at him and how they would gossip about him.
She had never expected "Qing Ge" to speak up for her.
However, this matter happened just like that.
Was it to … respect her wishes?
Ying Mingyue did not know if Lu Qingshan was sincere or just putting on an act.
However, at this moment, she had indeed gotten rid of all the bad feelings she had for Lu Qingshan.
Shi Wu Demon Venerable was also a little surprised. He could not help but take another look at Lu Qingshan.
It was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
"Although both of you agreed to get married three years later, if this is really the case, others will think that we, Shi Wu, are bullying you."
"Moreover, Qing Ge, you will also be criticized in Jianluo Royal City."
After a pause, Shi Wu Demon Venerable took the initiative to break the silence and said in an irrefutable tone, "Then let's compromise. Your wedding will be set half a year later."
Shi Wu Demon Venerable turned to Ying Mingyue and said, "Half a year is enough for you to develop feelings for him." There was a rare hint of reproach in his voice.
If "Qing Ge" was really left in Jianluo Royal City for three years and then got married, "Qing Ge" did not have any objections. However, Shi Wu Demon Venerable would probably come to settle the score with him.
Shi Wu Demon Venerable was very clear about the pros and cons.
Half a year was the time that he reluctantly decided on because he doted on Ying Mingyue very much.
"Half a year it is …" Ying Mingyue replied weakly.
"Then half a year it is." Lu Qingshan did not have any objections.
Shi Wu Demon Venerable nodded with satisfaction and looked at Lu Qingshan again.
The next moment, Shi Wu Demon Venerable flicked his finger, and a jade box flew toward him.
Lu Qingshan hurriedly reached out to catch it.
The jade box was completely black. He could not see what was inside.
He looked at Shi Wu Demon Venerable in confusion.
"This is?"
"A meeting gift for my son-in-law," Shi Wu Demon Venerable said with a gentle smile.
The thing in the jade box was not simple. It could even be said that it was very precious. Moreover, he did not intend to give Lu Qingshan this so-called meeting gift.
The reason for this change was that Lu Qingshan's performance on the Weapon Drill Platform made him have a different view of Lu Qingshan.
Not only was the Blade Demon Venerable worthy of his attention, but "Qing Ge" also had great potential.
His methods were extraordinary, and he was quite shrewd. He did not mind being tarnished, and deliberately hid his strength. He was only plotting something deeper.
Yes, he was sure that Lu Qingshan's image was completely different from the one in the intelligence reports. He must have deliberately concealed his strength to avoid being harmed by the Blade Demon Venerable's sons.
As for whether this Qing Ge was Qing Ge or not …
Why would an ordinary person think in this direction for no reason?
Moreover, if there was really a change, how could the Blade Demon Venerable not notice it? This was his son.
As for the thing in the jade box, it was what "Qing Ge" needed the most.
This was his investment in "Qing Ge".
This thing was so precious that if not for the fact that he was nearing the end of his lifespan and could die at any time, he would not have given it to Qing Ge as a meeting gift.
"Thank you, Shi Wu Demon Venerable." Lu Qingshan could not check what was in the jade box on the spot. He could only put the jade box into his mustard seed and then clasped his hands in thanks.
"No need to be so courteous with me. As long as you take good care of Mingyue, I have nothing else to ask." Shi Wu Demon Venerable waved his hand. "Alright, that's all for today. Mingyue, take Qing Ge to the residence I prepared for him."
"I understand," Ying Mingyue said softly.
Lu Qingshan also bowed and left.
After leaving the hall, Lu Qingshan said with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble, Miss Mingyue."
Ying Mingyue glanced at Lu Qingshan.
Originally, she did not like Lu Qingshan.
However, after the confrontation on the platform, coupled with the fact that Lu Qingshan had spoken up for her just now, as the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling person. For a moment, she could not be cold towards Lu Qingshan.
Therefore, she pursed her lips and said helplessly, "Come with me."
Lu Qingshan did not comment.
Under Ying Mingyue's lead, the two quickly left the Demon Venerable Residence.
Yuluo and the other two, who had been waiting outside, saw Lu Qingshan and hurried forward. "Your Highness."
Lu Qingshan nodded. Then, the group followed Ying Mingyue and left along the main road.
… …
Jianluo City was divided into the inner city and the outer city.
The Demon Venerable Residence was in the inner city. The residence that was prepared for Lu Qingshan was in the outer city.
Ying Mingyue did not say a word. She led Lu Qingshan and the group to the outer city.
The royal city was huge. Moreover, flying was not allowed. Therefore, the group walked for a long time before an extremely grand residence appeared in front of them.
At the main entrance, there were several Sixth Stage Demon Cultivators guarding the door. It looked majestic.
"This is the residence that father prepared for you. Before the two of us get married … you can stay here temporarily."
After hesitating for a while, Ying Mingyue's eyes flashed. Finally, she clenched her teeth and said, "If there's anything, you can come to Mingyue Residence to find me."
This could be considered an invitation in disguise.
"I'll definitely come next time." Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
Ying Mingyue snorted. Then, without saying anything, she turned and left.
.....
Seeing Ying Mingyue leave, Lu Qingshan did not mind. He slowly walked toward the residence.
"Welcome, Your Highness Qing Ge!" The guards at the door bowed to him.
Lu Qingshan nodded.
At this moment, an Eighth Stage Demon Cultivator hurriedly walked out of the residence.
When he saw Lu Qingshan, his face was full of smiles. "Your Highness Qing Ge, I'm the residence's chief steward, Zhi Pan.
If Your Highness has any needs, feel free to tell me in the future. Now, I'll bring Your Highness to familiarize with the residence's environment. "
Lu Qingshan nodded. He calmly followed the chief steward into the residence.
Along the way, from time to time, other servants bowed to Lu Qingshan.
After being brought around by Zhi Pan to familiarize himself with the residence's environment, Lu Qingshan dismissed Zhi Pan with the excuse of resting. At the same time, he told Yuluo and the other two, "During this period of time, try not to go out as much as possible to avoid causing trouble. After all, Jianluo City is no longer the capital of Yuluo City."
"We understand." The three of them replied in a deep voice. Then, they left.
After everyone left, Lu Qingshan walked back to his room. He slowly sat down and lowered his head. No one knew what he was thinking.
After a long time, he recovered from his deep thoughts. He slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.
At this moment, there was no one else in the room other than him.
In the silence, Lu Qingshan suddenly thought of something.
He quickly took out a jade box from his mustard seed.
It was a meeting gift from Shi Wu Demon Venerable.
When he received the jade box, he was curious.
However, at that time, he could not open the jade box directly to check the gift in front of Shi Wu Demon Venerable. Therefore, it was delayed until now.
A meeting gift from a Demon Venerable to his son-in-law should not be too simple.
Thinking of this, he had already gently opened the jade box.
A bright blood-red light came into view.
This was an extremely mystical crystal.
The crystal's exterior was transparent. It was dreamy and hazy.
Within the crystal, there were several blood-like crystal threads.
From afar, those transparent crystal shells could not be seen at all. It was as if there were several crystal threads floating in the air.
It could be said to be magnificent and magnificent.
Such a beautiful crystal was really rare in the world.
"This is …" Lu Qingshan's pupils gradually dilated. He could not help but exclaim softly, "Blood Spirit Crystal!"
He, who had crammed his knowledge of Demons, recognized this item.
Shi Wu Demon Venerable's meeting gift to him was the most precious treasure in the abyss — Blood Spirit Crystal!
Such a big gift!
This was a supreme secret treasure in the abyss. It was something that countless Demon Cultivators coveted.
It had an incomparably mystical power. It could help Demons purify and improve their bloodline, thereby increasing their strength.
"It's just that this thing is useless to me," Lu Qingshan muttered. He wasn't a demon after all.
Wait …
Lu Qingshan was about to put the Blood Spirit Crystal back into his mustard seed when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Why was it useless to him?
Information about the Blood Spirit Crystal surged into his mind.
This was a secret treasure that could help Demons purify and improve their bloodline.
However, no one had ever said that it could only help Demons improve their bloodline.
Then why could humans not use it?
