Chapter 492: The Injuries Are Severe, Need the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Technique for Healing!

“Yangming Zhenren!”

The Yin Ghost King clenched his fists tightly after seeing the Golden-Winged Roc vanish. His expression was as dark as water.

Today, their Yin Ghost Sect was humiliated by such a blatant provocation. It was an utter disgrace!

“Ghost Demon Realman, you mentioned that Old Demon Zhentian and the Heavenly Spider Envoy of the Five Poison Sect suddenly appeared?”

At this moment, he glanced coldly at the nearby Ghost Demon Realman and asked.

Even though the issues were resolved, he couldn’t just let it go.

The Yin Ghost Sect couldn’t possibly swallow such a big loss!

Had their Supreme Elder not broken through to Nascent Soul, it might’ve been different.

But once their Supreme Elder does breakthrough, they will certainly settle this matter!

“Yes, Sect Master.”

At this moment, Ghost Demon Realman seemed much older; even his posture was slightly hunched.

Most of the compensation given to Lu Changsheng would eventually fall on him.

Suddenly, as if something came to mind, he said, “Sect Master, Nangong Mili might know something about this person’s identity.”

“Back then, when Nangong Mili faced Old Demon Zhentian, she said, ‘Do you know this person’s identity?’ She didn’t reveal the information, but she might know something.”

Ghost Demon Realman’s hoarse voice echoed.

“Nangong Mili…”

The Yin Ghost King’s expression turned cautious.

He had felt earlier that it was odd for Nangong Mili to get involved after hearing what Ghost Demon Realman said.

After pondering for a moment, he turned to the side to inquire about Chu Qingyi’s situation from the Ghost Concubine, aiming to learn more about her background.

Earlier, when Chu Qingyi caused quite a commotion, he wasn’t clear about what happened.

“Reporting to the Sect Master.”

The Enchanting Madam immediately explained Chu Qingyi’s situation, along with Lu Changsheng’s extraordinary techniques that appeared afterward.

“Caw!”

The Golden-Winged Roc spread its wings in mid-air, creating a fierce gale, like a golden arc of light soaring straight towards the Nine Heavens Gale Layer.ale.

Lu Changsheng placed Lu Quanzhen inside the Heavenly Yuan Imperial Lotus.

At such flying speeds, he had to use considerable Spiritual Energy to protect Lu Quanzhen.

But after the battle just now, he had expended a lot of power. It wasn’t convenient to waste more.

“Buzz!”

At the same time, the divine power of the Nine Treasures Dao Bone stopped its operation. The support it provided to Lu Changsheng’s energy, spirit, and stamina receded like a tide, leaving his entire body sore and weak, and his face full of exhaustion.

“Daoist Lu, are you alright?”

Chu Qingyi, noticing that the terrifying spiritual pressure from Lu Changsheng’s body had faded and his aura was slightly chaotic, immediately expressed her concern.

Earlier, she had been worried that the secret technique Lu Changsheng used to enhance his power might cause damage or leave aftereffects.

After all, Secret Techniques of this kind usually have side effects, and burden the body.

And the level of enhancement that Lu Changsheng had undergone was incredibly powerful and lasted for quite some time, so there might be adverse effects.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Lu Changsheng coughed twice immediately.

Then, his unstable and weakened body leaned on Chu Qingyi’s tall, graceful frame. He shook his head gently and whispered, “I’m fine, just a bit weak. I just need to rest for a bit.”

Chu Qingyi was caught off guard being held by Lu Changsheng like this. She bit her lip lightly, then supported him and softly said, “Daoist Lu, we need to leave the Yin Ghost Sect territory as soon as possible.”

“Ghost Bat surely knows that you will be in a weakened state soon and might call upon a diviner to calculate your situation.”

Although the grievances have been settled.

She knew very well that the Yin Ghost Sect wouldn’t let the matter rest easily.

“Divination?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow.

His ‘Void Robes’ could block divination and calculations.

The Heavenly Yuan Imperial Lotus could also obscure the heavenly secrets.

Unless the Yin Ghost Sect invites a Fourth-Tier diviner and sacrifices lifespan, it would be difficult to calculate his situation accurately.

“Don’t worry, I have a secret treasure that can block divination and cause heavenly secrets to become chaotic.”

Lu Changsheng embraced Chu Qingyi, resting his head on her fragrant shoulder, inhaling her scent, and softly said.

“…”

Chu Qingyi felt his warm breath near her ear, and his hands wrapped around her waist and hips. Her delicate body trembled slightly, feeling a bit weak. She thought to herself, ‘How can he be so unruly even in this condition?’

Yet considering his current weakened state, she didn’t say anything.

“The Heavenly Yuan Imperial Lotus has the ability to obscure and hide heavenly secrets. However, since Quanzhen fell into the hands of Ghost Demon Realman, it’s best to stay cautious.”

“These demonic cultivators, especially those who practice blood techniques, might have Quanzhen’s blood, making it possible to trace back some clues.”

Chu Qingyi knew the ‘Heavenly Yuan Imperial Lotus’ in Lu Changsheng’s possession was close to evolving into the ‘Heavenly Yuan Dao Lotus,’ and had the power to conceal heavenly secrets.

But caution was necessary, especially for Lu Quanzhen’s safety.

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he realized not only Lu Quanzhen but also Meng Xiaochan and Nangong Mili needed to be warned.

A few days back, he had been with Lu Quanzhen at the Immortal Spider Market.

If the Yin Ghost Sect were to bring in a master diviner, they might find some clues.

“No wonder so few dare to mess with these major powers. It’s not just about overwhelming strength; you also need to be solo and have no vulnerabilities. Otherwise, it’s too easy to leave behind hidden dangers.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself, realizing how tough these top forces were. Eliminating all risks and ensuring absolute safety was extremely challenging.

If they learned even the slightest detail, these forces could be like venomous snakes, waiting to strike and bite you at any time.

“If you don’t have any other items to confuse heavenly secrets, keep Quanzhen inside the Lotus these few days.”

“When I return, I can apply for a Celestial Jade from the sect, which can block heavenly secret calculations.”

Chu Qingyi spoke softly.

Though few are proficient in divination, one must always be cautious.

That’s why forces from the immortal sect always have methods to guard against such calculations.

Otherwise, if a sect’s true disciples or elders were tracked and attacked by opposing forces, everything would be for nothing. They might even face lethal ambushes.

“Alright, thank you for your help, Qingyi.”

Lu Changsheng held her hand, deeply touched.

Actually, once Lu Quanzhen returned to Bihu Mountain, the problem wouldn’t be too significant.

On Biyun Peak, the ‘Xuantian Spirit Vine’ not only gathers fortune but also has effects to block heavenly secret calculations.

However, he wouldn’t refuse such goodwill.

“Qingyi, where do you plan to go next?”

Lu Changsheng embraced his beloved and asked.

“I came to the Jin Kingdom to investigate the Yin Ghost Sect’s Supreme Elder attempting to reach Nascent Soul.”

“Now that this incident with the Yin Ghost Sect has arisen, they are bound to be on full alert. The whole Jin Kingdom’s cultivation community will be on edge, so I plan to return directly.”

After a moment of silence, Chu Qingyi sighed slightly.

Her main mission was to temper her Sword Heart.

But while traveling to the Jin Kingdom, she dealt with numerous demons and evildoers. Her thoughts had not fully cleared, and here she was back in Lu Changsheng’s embrace.

Especially after seeing a different side of Lu Changsheng recently, her heart couldn’t stop racing, leaving her mind in chaos.

Given her current condition, continuing to temper herself seemed pointless. It was better to return directly.

“Daoist Lu, do you have any other matters to attend to?”

Chu Qingyi asked.

Though she avoided Lu Changsheng, given the situation, she couldn’t leave him on his own.

She figured she could stay by his side and take care of him.

“I still have some matters to handle. If you’re not in a hurry, let’s return together later.”

Lu Changsheng planned to advise Nangong Mili and Meng Xiaochan before leaving the Jin Kingdom.

“I’m not in a hurry. How are you doing? If you need help, just tell me directly.”

Chu Qingyi bit her lip slightly.

To her, after such an intense burst of power, Lu Changsheng would likely need at least a year or half to fully recover.

“I’m fine, just need to rest for a few days.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly.

The Nine Treasures Dao Bone, compared to other similar burst techniques, wouldn’t have severe aftereffects as long as it remained within the body’s tolerance. Resting for ten days to half a month would suffice.

But meeting Nangong Mili right now… dealing with this ‘aftereffect’ would need ten to fifteen days of Dual Cultivation.

Yet, thinking about going to see Nangong Mili now, Lu Changsheng felt a headache.

After all, Chu Qingyi was a righteous disciple of an orthodox sect.

If she found out he was mingling with the Heavenly Spider Envoy of the Five Poison Sect, it might leave a bad impression.

“Don’t push yourself too hard.”

Chu Qingyi didn’t believe Lu Changsheng had nothing wrong.

“Alright, I’m indeed in a bad state right now. The Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra could help ease this a bit.”

Lu Changsheng whispered, drawing closer to her ear.

Hearing this, Chu Qingyi’s face flushed red, the warmth reaching her ears.

‘How can this person be so indecent?’

“Qingyi, can you help me?”

With a weak voice, Lu Changsheng asked, looking at her.

Chu Qingyi: “…”

She knew Lu Changsheng was somewhat intentional.

But having studied the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra, she understood it was profound. It could not only enhance cultivation or break through bottlenecks but could also be used for healing.

Helping Lu Changsheng with this technique would indeed assist in his recovery.

Still, this would undoubtedly further entangle her with this man.

“Fine.”

Seeing Chu Qingyi silent, Lu Changsheng sighed, disappointed.

After a while, Chu Qingyi softly responded, “Just healing, nothing more.”

“What?”

Lu Changsheng was stunned. He didn’t expect Chu Qingyi to agree.

He thought to himself that this Sword Immortal Maiden was rather easy to persuade.

Of course, this also showed that Chu Qingyi indeed had feelings for him.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t agree to do this to help him heal.

“Sigh…”

Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly. If it weren’t for his relationship with Xiao Xiyue and Yun Wanshang, things with Chu Qingyi might have gone very smoothly.

Thinking about the future, he couldn’t help but feel a headache, wondering how Chu Qingyi would react once she found out about him and Yun Wanshang.

Especially since, compared to Xiao Xiyue, Yun Wanshang had raised Chu Qingyi from a young age. Their bond was stronger.

“Just for healing, don’t overthink it!”

Chu Qingyi pressed her lips together, adding.

“Alright, I know.”

Lu Changsheng nodded immediately.

Right now, he couldn’t possibly engage in any ‘windy bird’ activities with Chu Qingyi in the Nine Heavens Gale Layer.ale.

He gestured that it was imperative to leave the Yin Ghost Sect’s territory first.

Chu Qingyi first entered the Heavenly Yuan Imperial Lotus while Lu Changsheng used Secret Techniques to make the Golden-Winged Roc leave quickly.

“Be careful. If anything happens, notify me immediately.”

Chu Qingyi’s eyes were filled with worry.

“Don’t worry.”

Lu Changsheng smiled slightly.

After Chu Qingyi entered the Heavenly Yuan Imperial Lotus, Lu Changsheng exhaled deeply.

He then gripped two Top-Tier Spirit Stones, sat cross-legged on the Golden-Winged Roc, and began to meditate, instructing it to proceed to the Immortal Spider Market at full speed.

Jiang Kingdom, Qingyun Region.

A Second-Tier Spirit Boat emitting a golden glow slowly descended outside Bihu Mountain.

A man and a woman stood side by side on the boat.

The man looked to be about twenty, with swordlike brows and starry eyes. He had a strong build and wore a white-gold robe, exuding an extraordinary aura.

The woman seemed around eighteen or nineteen, with a delicate appearance and a slender figure. She wore a beautiful Rainbow Feather Garment, her aura ethereal and serene.

“Finally home.”

Lu Qingshan grinned as he looked at Bihu Mountain.

Returning with his sister was a hassle, even if they traveled entirely by Spirit Ship, taking up a year.

For him, it wasn’t too bad, and he even had the leisure to explore a bit, but his sister was eager to return home.

“What brings you to Bihu Mountain, Senior?”

A Lu Family disciple guarding the mountain gate saw the Second-Tier Spirit Boat and knew it belonged to a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He cupped his hands and inquired.

“Hmm?”

Lu Qingshan noticed the unfamiliar disciple guarding the gate. He raised an eyebrow and tossed his family token, saying, “Lu Qingshan.”

“Lu Qingshan!?”

The Lu Family disciples were startled upon hearing his name. One immediately shouted, “Lu Family’s third-generation disciple, Lu Xuanzhen, greets Uncle Qingshan!”

“Greetings, Uncle Qingshan.”

The others also rushed to greet him.

Most of the Lu Family’s second-generation disciples managed the family affairs, leaving matters like guarding the gate to the third generation.

“Oh wow.”

Hearing this title, Lu Qingshan looked at the young men and women before him, then turned to his sister, feeling nostalgic.

They had been away from home for many years, and the third generation of the family had grown up.

Though there were a few third-generation disciples during his last visit.

He mainly paid attention to his brother Lu Qingsong’s newborn son back then, not noticing the others.

“Hmm.”

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly and didn’t say much.

The Lu Family disciples then invited Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu into Bihu Mountain.

“When did the family get two more spiritual veins?”

Upon entering Bihu Mountain, Lu Qingshan immediately noticed the increased spiritual energy and the two new small peaks beside Biyun Peak, quickly recognizing them as Spirit Peaks.

“Reporting to Uncle Qingshan, these peaks are called Xuanfu Peak and Hundred Refinements Peak. They were cultivated three years ago.”

One of the Lu Family disciples answered immediately.

“Wow, it seems the family is doing well.”

Lu Qingshan clicked his tongue in amazement.

Cultivating a Spirit Peak isn’t easy.

If only nurtured by a Second-Tier spiritual vein, it would take hundreds of years to develop a first-Tier branch vein.

However, using spirit source beads, which are like spiritual eyes, would cost at least ten beads, a significant amount.

Aside from the two Spirit Peaks, he noticed that everything in Bihu Mountain, from the pavilions, to the family’s Spirit Fields, to the spirit plants on Lingcui Cliff, had undergone significant changes compared to ten years ago.

Ten years may seem long.

But for a family, it’s very brief.

In just ten years, the family’s progress was remarkable. This meant the Lu Family had developed rapidly in recent years.

Beside him, Lu Qingzhu also observed the family’s environment, her clear, beautiful eyes shimmering with a light glaze.

Moments later, Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaohuan, Lu Miioge, and others arrived, excitedly and joyfully looking at the siblings before them.

“Qingshan, Xiaozhu!”

“Mother, Auntie!”

Lu Qingzhu hugged her mother, her eyes red, filled with longing.

“Hey, Mom, where’s Dad? Don’t tell me he’s not home again?”

Lu Qingshan didn’t see his father and asked, somewhat surprised.

Lu Miaoyun and Lu Miaohuan excanged glances, indicating that Lu Changsheng had gone out and might not return for some time.

The two ladies didn’t know what to say as it was rare for Lu Qingshan to come home.

Yet, every time he returned, Lu Changsheng just happened to be away.

“Am I really at odds with Dad?”

Lu Qingshan was speechless.

He was planning to ask his father about the Sword Embryo and get advice on the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Manual and rebuilding the Zhoutian Xingdou Sword.

The family then gathered in the Lu Family Mansion to catch up, with Lu Qingxian coming to greet his brother and sister.

Meanwhile, Lu Qingqi, being mischievous, had gone to the Hongye Valley Marketplace and wasn’t home.

Lu Qingshan was full of energy, enthusiastically sharing his experiences with his mother and aunt, making Lu Miaohuan smile broadly.

After all, this son was her pride and joy.

On the other hand, Lu Qingzhu remained quiet, holding her mother’s arm, listening to her brother while occasionally showing concern for their brother Lu Qingxian.

During the conversation, Lu Qingshan inquired about the family’s situation, noting the considerable changes.

“What? Elder Brother reached quasi-Third-Tier in Body Tempering?”

Lu Qingshan was stunned to hear that his elder brother had achieved quasi-Third-Tier Body Tempering, gaining fame after battling against a False Core cultivator and establishing the family’s reputation as a False Core family. He was utterly confused.

He wasn’t very familiar with Lu Ping’an, but he did have some impression of him.

Years ago, he, Lu Quanzhen, and Lu Ping’an had entered the Purple Secrets Realm together.

Back then, they were all Qi Refining cultivators, on the same level.

How did Lu Ping’an advance to quasi-Third-Tier Body Tempering so quickly?

To think that his cultivation had advanced rapidly, and yet he was only at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.

Though this was impressive for his age, compared to quasi-Third-Tier Body Tempering, the gap was significant.

Lu Qingzhu was equally astonished.

She remembered meeting her elder brother when they visited White Tiger Mountain years ago, finding him to be kind-hearted and impressive.

But she never imagined that her elder brother would become so powerful.

Seeing her brother’s astonished expression, Lu Qingzhu smiled slightly. It had been a long time since anyone had moved him like this.
