Chapter 194: Demonic Traces Appear
Early in the morning, Lu Qing brought Xiaoyan and Xiaoli to a small courtyard halfway up the mountain.
Just then, I saw the old ancestor of the Wei family was there, and the old doctor was making tea under the plum tree.
"Hello, Senior Wei." Lu Qing bowed.
"Hello, Grandpa Wei~" Xiaoyan also greeted him obediently.
"Okay, all good." Wei Shanhai smiled. "By the way, Mr. Lu, I have found all the materials you asked me to help you find a few days ago. I have put them in the room. You can check later to see if there is anything missing."
"Have you found all the materials?"
Lu Qing was a little surprised.
I went into the house and took a look, and found that the materials were indeed complete.
He quickly came out to thank him: "Thank you, Senior Wei. I will make up for the cost of finding these materials."
"Young man, you are embarrassing me. It's just some material, not worth mentioning. Your kindness to our Wei family cannot be repaid with such a small thing." Wei Shanhai said with a smile.
Lu Qing refused again, but seeing that Wei Shanhai insisted on not wanting it, he had to give up.
"Then I will shamelessly accept it."
"That's right, but I'm also quite curious, Mr. Lu, some of the materials you want are very strange. I wonder what they are going to be used for?" Wei Shanhai asked.
"I want to test something. As for what it is, I will keep it a secret. After I succeed, I will ask Senior Wei for some advice."
"Haha, then I'll just wait and see."
Seeing that Lu Qing didn't want to reveal it for the time being, Wei Shanhai was not angry, but became even more expectant.
Last time, Lu Qing asked the Wei family to find materials, and it was said that they made a very magical fire liquid. It was with the help of that fire liquid that he forged a rare magic weapon in the world.
The materials Lu Qing is looking for this time are even more peculiar, and the things he wants to experiment must be even more extraordinary.
So he was looking forward to it.
"Come, Mr. Wei, have some tea."
At this time, the old doctor's tea was ready.
Xiaoyan took Xiaoli to the study room to study.
Lu Qing also sat down and chatted with the two old people.
"Good tea!" Wei Shanhai drank a cup of tea and felt his mouth full of fragrance. He couldn't help but praise, "Old Doctor Chen, every time I drink your plum tea, it tastes different. Your tea-making skills are really amazing."
"It's just that this plum blossom is quite unique. My tea-making skills are just average," said the old doctor with a smile.
Although Wei Shanhai knew that this was a humble statement, he couldn't help but nodded.
Looking at the plum tree behind the old doctor, I felt a little envious.
This plum tree, nourished by the vital energy of heaven and earth, had long since mutated and became a rare treasure tree.
He was a little annoyed. Why didn't he think of this when he entered the Innate Realm?
If he had also found a good tea tree to make a breakthrough at that time, then he would also have a precious tea.
However, Wei Shanhai also knew that this was just his wishful thinking.
When he saw the opportunity for a breakthrough, he was ecstatic. He forgot everything and focused only on breaking through, fearing that he would miss the chance.
How could one think so thoroughly and make so many arrangements in advance?
After drinking a few cups of tea, everyone started to talk.
"By the way, Mr. Lu, a considerable portion of the materials you need this time were purchased from the provincial capital. Yesterday, the steward from my mansion who escorted the materials over also brought some recent news about the major events that have happened in the world."
"Oh, I wonder what interesting things are there?" Lu Qing asked with interest.
Now that the world is about to change, he is still very concerned about what is happening in the world.
"The first major event is that in Jeju, a very powerful demon has appeared in the past few months. He likes to hunt down martial arts masters who have achieved success.
No one knows what kind of magic this demon has practiced, but he can suck people's blood, energy and bones. He is extremely domineering and terrifying.
Every warrior killed by him suffered from deficiency of blood, qi and bone marrow, like a dried corpse, which was extremely terrifying.
Moreover, this demon seems to like to target those talented warriors who became famous at a young age and have excellent talents.
So far, dozens of young warriors have fallen victim to his vicious hands, many of whom are disciples of Jeju sects, including some martial arts masters at the Inner Viscera level.
This matter has caused a stir in Jeju, and all the major sects have sent out experts to kill this demon and avenge their dead disciples. "
"Is there such a thing?"
The old doctor and Lu Qing were both shocked.
Especially Lu Qing, the deaths of those warriors described by Wei Shanhai made him think of some bad things.
"This is absolutely true. Right now, many people in Jeju are in a panic. Many young warriors dare not travel outside, for fear of running into that demon and becoming his prey." Wei Shanhai said seriously.
Lu Qing's heart moved: "Senior Wei, I remember that your eldest son seemed to be studying in Jeju, so..."
"Don't worry about that. Hao'er and several of his fellow disciples have traveled to Zhongzhou half a year ago. They are not in Jeju."
Speaking of this, Wei Shanhai was also somewhat fortunate.
Otherwise, given the cruelty of that demon, he really couldn't guarantee whether Wei Zihao would fall into his clutches.
The old doctor pondered for a moment and asked, "Being able to suck human blood, could that demon be a master of the innate realm?"
"I don't know about this, but I think it shouldn't be the case." Wei Shanhai shook his head.
"Over the past thousand years, since the establishment of the Holy Mountain, the magic path has begun to decline. It has been a long time since a demon in the Xiantian realm appeared. If this demon is really a demon in the Xiantian realm, the Holy Mountain should not have not taken any action."
"If it's not a demon in the innate realm, the Holy Mountain won't take action?" Lu Qing asked.
“Yes, the status of the Holy Mountain is so high that it is impossible for us to do everything by ourselves and take care of everything.
Apart from some principled prohibitions, it basically does not interfere with fights between warriors below the innate realm.
Even if there is a war between counties and countries that could cause hundreds of thousands of people to be trapped in fire and water, it will just watch from the sidelines and remain indifferent.
If the demon has not yet reached the innate realm, the Holy Mountain will most likely remain idly by.
After all, the world is too big, and there are endless warriors. It’s just the deaths of dozens of young warriors.
It’s a big deal in Jeju, but it’s nothing in the eyes of the world.”
When Lu Qing heard this, he was thoughtful and had a better understanding of the Holy Mountain's position.
"It would be fine if the demon only caused trouble in Jeju." Wei Shanhai said again.
“What I’m worried about is that now all the major sects in Jeju have sent out their experts to encircle and suppress that demon.
If that demon sees that the situation is not good and flees to our Cangzhou, we will be in trouble.
For example, you, Mr. Lu, must be very careful. The demon likes to target young and talented warriors, and he may very likely come after you.
The magic skills of the demons are strange and very different from the martial arts we practice. You must be very careful. "
The old doctor heard this and said in a serious tone, "Yes, Ah Qing, you have to be careful."
Lu Qing is ranked on the Hidden Dragon List and is a truly extraordinary genius.
According to the habits shown by the demon, if he escaped to Cangzhou, Wei Shanhai's worries would not be unreasonable.
"Yes, I will be careful." Lu Qing responded seriously.
Although he is confident, he does not think that no one in the world can do anything to him.
According to what Wei Shanhai said, if the skills practiced by the demon were really as he guessed, he must not be careless.
"Besides the Jeju incident, there is another big thing."
Seeing that Lu Qing took his words to heart, Wei Shanhai felt relieved and continued the conversation.
"But this incident happened in our Cangzhou, and it happened in the past two days."
