"Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself."
When Lin Zhirui heard this, his whole body was shocked and he muttered to himself.
He seemed completely shocked by this sentence.
After a long while, he came back to his senses, his eyes clear, and he bowed deeply to Lu Qing.
"Thank you for your guidance, friend Lu Qing. Otherwise, I would have fallen into the barrier of knowledge and understanding, and my mind of cultivation would have been unstable."
"You're welcome, Lord Zhirui, you're just confused by the situation. With your intelligence, you will wake up sooner or later even without my reminder." Lu Qing said with a smile.
He knew at a glance that Lin Zhirui was shocked by the performance of the young man in brocade clothes climbing the ladder and fell into self-doubt.
This kind of thing can be big or small.
If one gets stuck in a dead end, a little carelessness may cause his martial arts spirit to become unstable and he may never recover.
That's why Lu Qing gave him advice and used the ancient wisdom of his ancestors from previous lives to break through the obstacles in his heart.
"Heaven moves with vigor, and a gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself..."
Ma Gu, Wei Zian and others who were standing by were also shocked when they heard Lu Qing's words.
It is impossible for them not to be moved when they saw so many martial arts geniuses when they came to the Holy City this time.
The gap between people is really too big.
That feeling of despair can really make people doubt the meaning of their own practice.
But Lu Qing's words just now cleared up the confusion in their hearts, swept away the trace of dejection, and cheered them up again.
Seeing Lu Qing still looking calm and composed, Lin Zhirui sighed in his heart.
More than two years ago, when he first met Lu Qing in Cang County, the other party was still a young boy.
But now, apart from his somewhat immature face, Lu Qing has completely reached another level in terms of temperament and behavior.
Even though he had already reached the Innate Realm, when facing Lu Qing, he still unconsciously felt a sense of insignificance.
What level has young friend Lu Qing’s cultivation reached?
This thought popped up in Lin Zhirui's mind again.
"How about it, are you convinced?"
Just as Lin Zhirui's emotions were in turmoil, the young man in brocade clothes on the ladder spoke loudly.
But there was silence up and down the ladder.
Everyone looked at the young man in brocade clothes with awe in their eyes.
As for Bai Bufan and others, they were even paler and looked depressed.
"Big Brother, Fifth Brother still likes to be in the spotlight."
Above the sky, on the backs of those giant flying birds, a beautiful girl with bright eyes and white teeth chuckled.
“Old Five’s character…” A gentle young man on the back of another giant flying bird shook his head, “If he could change his impetuousness, he might have broken through to the Xiantian realm long ago.”
"There's nothing wrong with that. This is the only hobby that Fifth Junior Brother has. If he doesn't like to be in the spotlight, can he still be called Fifth Junior Brother?
Besides, our Yunshui Secret Realm has been hidden from the world for too long. Apart from some ancient sects, I’m afraid few people know of our existence.
Now that the world is changing, it's time to shock them, lest some people really think that they are the ones who call the shots in this world."
Another young man with a stern face said calmly.
"Yes, before we came out, Master told us that this time we were not only allowed to fight for opportunities, but also to make our Yunshui Secret Realm famous. Fifth Junior Brother did a good job."
"But..." The eldest brother hesitated, but he finally shook his head and said, "Okay, we still have to go to pay respect to the three holy masters, call the fifth brother back."
"I'll call." Upon hearing this, the girl immediately shouted, "Fifth Brother, have you had enough fun? The eldest brother asked you to come back!"
Hearing the shout, the young man in brocade clothes raised his eyebrows.
He looked at the people below, none of them spoke a word, they just looked at him in awe.
He chuckled, and suddenly a sharp sound similar to the chirping of a bird came out of his mouth.
Then he leaped high into the air and jumped down from the ladder.
At the same time, clear bird calls were heard in the sky. The giant bird that had been carrying the young man in brocade clothes flapped its wings, creating a strong airflow and swooped down quickly towards its owner.
When the young man in brocade clothes jumped out and began to fall, it arrived just in time and caught him steadily.
Then he flapped his wings and flew high, returning to his fellow disciples.
"Let's go."
The eldest senior brother looked at the crowd below who were staring at them in amazement, and spoke softly. A group of giant birds flapped their wings and flew off in the other direction of the Holy Mountain.
Watching the group of giant flying birds gradually fly away, finally turning a corner and disappearing on the other side of the holy mountain.
The crowd, which had been quiet until now, suddenly burst into huge noise.
"Who can tell me where these people came from?"
"Just playing around? That young man in brocade clothes just climbed up 200 steps to the heavenly ladder. Was it just for fun?"
"It's just a joke. Look how relaxed he was just now. I think 200 levels is not his limit. If he wants, he can definitely climb higher."
"This is going to be embarrassing for Bai Bufan and the others. Who could have thought that they were so high-spirited in the competition, but in the end, all the limelight was stolen by an unknown person who suddenly appeared."
…
“You just left like that?”
Lu Qing was a little surprised to see the people from Yunshui Secret Realm riding away on flying birds.
"They should have gone to visit the three Holy Lords. People from the four secret places always live directly on the holy mountains and never stay in the holy city." Lin Zhirui explained.
"I see."
Lu Qing nodded. He recalled some information he had just discovered with his supernatural powers, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes.
"I didn't expect to have such a reward. What kind of opportunity is it that makes people from the four secret places value it so much? Is it the same opportunity that I sensed in the dark?"
Lu Qing has been sure of this since arriving in the Holy City.
The mysterious power that attracted him and his master came from the Holy Mountain.
However, even though he was standing in front of the holy mountain now, he still couldn't be sure what attracted him and his master.
"Is the opportunity hidden too deeply, or is the time not yet right?" Lu Qing pondered to himself.
However, the appearance of people from the Yunshui Secret Realm made him a little wary.
If their goal is also that mysterious opportunity, then it would probably not be easy to fight for it.
Besides, since the people from the Yunshui Secret Realm have all arrived, the people from the other three secret places must not be too far away.
"It seems that if my master and I want to compete for this opportunity, we have to plan carefully."
Thinking of this, Lu Qing said, "Sir Zhirui, now that we have finished watching the excitement, should we go back? We came here in a hurry and have not yet found an inn to stay in."
"You haven't found a place to stay yet? That's perfect. There's an empty yard next to where I live. If you don't mind, you can stay there first."
"How can I do this...Okay, then I'll trouble Master Zhirui."
Lu Qing wanted to refuse, but then he thought that the inn was a mixed bag after all, and now he not only had Xiaoyan with him, but also Hu Zezhi, an unstable factor.
It might be a bit troublesome to stay in an inn, so I nodded and agreed.
"Then I'll send someone to arrange it right away when I get back!"
Seeing that Lu Qing agreed, Lin Zhirui immediately became happy.
He said, “To be honest, now in the Holy City, warriors from all over the world have gathered here, and all the inns are already full. It may not be easy for you to find a place to stay.
Living in our Tianji Building is not only safe, but also quiet and not easily disturbed."
"Since Lord Zhirui has said so, we will respectfully obey your orders." Lu Qing said with a smile.
Immediately, several people started walking towards the city. Anyway, they had seen enough of the excitement here.
As for what happened to Bai Bufan and the others later, they were already interested in knowing.
"Um?"
When walking into the city, Lu Qing suddenly felt a sense of alarm in his heart and looked abruptly towards a corner nearby.
However, when he turned his eyes, he only saw a corner of black clothes disappearing in a corner of the alley, and there was no figure there.
But just this one glance made Lu Qing's heart suddenly relax a little.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Is there someone watching us? Is it Miss Hu's doom, or is it aimed at us?
However, it is better that you have not shown up. Now that you have revealed your true colors, everything will be easier to handle."
Because it was just a guess, Lu Qing did not say it directly, but continued to move towards Tianji Tower.
In the corner of another street far away from them, a figure in a black robe was trembling with fear at this moment.
"What's going on? How did that guy notice me? Is it a coincidence, or did he really find out something?"
The black-robed figure felt somewhat relieved when he thought of what had just happened.
If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, his whereabouts would have been exposed by now.
However, while feeling relieved, he also felt extremely puzzled.
He asked himself, his method of concealing his aura is almost unrivaled in the world, if not the best.
He was even confident that even a powerful person who had reached the peak of the Innate Realm might not be able to detect his gaze if he was staring at him.
But the boy was so sharp that he was almost discovered just after he started tracking him.
But in his perception, that boy was clearly just a martial artist at the post-natal realm.
"Could it be that the boy has a rare treasure that can warn others who are following him?"
Suddenly, the black-robed figure thought of a possibility.
He knew that tens of thousands of years ago, the practice of cultivating immortals was popular in this world and an immortal civilization had emerged. Later, with the decline of spiritual energy, it gradually declined and disappeared.
However, although the immortal cultivators disappeared, some of their magical weapons and artifacts were passed down.
As the world changes and spiritual energy revives, those ancient magic weapons will gradually regain their power under the nourishment of spiritual energy.
Could it be that the boy just happened to have a magic weapon for detection?
The black-robed figure pondered in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
Otherwise, he would not be able to understand why his method of hiding his inner demon could be discovered by a boy in the Postnatal Realm.
“If it really is a magic weapon, that would be great. I didn’t expect to gain such a reward.
And those disciples from the Yunshui Secret Realm. Decades ago, I dug deep into the ground but couldn't find the entrance to the four secret places.
I didn't expect that you would come out on your own. As long as I eat you, my demon body will be completely trained.
Then, this world will truly be in my pocket!"
The black-robed figure spoke in an excited tone, with bursts of dark light in his eyes, which was quite terrifying.
“However, the first step is to devour the girl with great luck and the old man with the light of merit.
Only by absorbing their luck and merits can the foundation of my supreme demon body be truly built.
When the time comes, good and evil will come together, and I can change as I please. Even the will of heaven will not be able to do anything to me!"
Accompanied by whispers, the black-robed figure disappeared into the corner.
Only a wisp of black gas was left, floating in the air.
After Lu Qing and others returned to Tianji Tower, Lin Zhirui immediately asked them to clean up the small courtyard next to him.
After the yard was cleaned up, Lu Qing and the others moved in.
Lin Zhirui then took his leave. He still had a lot of things to do, such as asking the old doctor for time to meditate on the holy pool.
"Master, on the way back just now, I found some strange things, which may be related to Miss Hu's fate."
After Lin Zhirui left, Lu Qing said seriously.
"What's the matter?" The old doctor looked stern.
Everyone else also looked at Lu Qing, especially Hu Zezhi, who looked even more nervous.
“Just now when we were entering the city, at a certain intersection, I found someone secretly following and watching us.
Unfortunately, the man was very alert, and when he found out that I had noticed him, he left immediately, so I didn’t get a good look at him.”
Speaking of this, Lu Qing also felt a little regretful.
If that person hadn't reacted so quickly, and if he had stared at him for a while longer and used his supernatural powers to detect the information, then everything would have been revealed.
"Since we couldn't see his appearance clearly, Aqing, how can you be sure that he is related to Miss Hu's misfortune?" asked the old doctor.
"I'm not completely sure, but the aura he exuded at the time was quite similar to the aura on Miss Hu's face, so I made this guess."
"I see." The old doctor nodded, "That's very likely. That's indeed Miss Hu's fate."
"But who is that man? I have no grudge against him, so why is he targeting me?" Hu Zezhi asked puzzled.
She had lived in Qinglong City since she was a child, and she thought she had never had any grudges with anyone. She really couldn't understand why someone would want to harm her.
Moreover, he is such a terrifying person that even Master Lu was almost deceived by him.
Why?
The old doctor and Lu Qing looked at each other and had the answer in their hearts.
The most special thing about Hu Zezhi is her strong aura.
The man's intentions were already very obvious as he was targeted by such a person.
He came here because of Hu Zezhi's identity as a man of luck.
"No matter what, this is a breakthrough." Lu Qing did not say this, but comforted Hu Zezhi, "Since you know that the one who wants to harm you is a human, then everything will be much easier.
Miss Hu, since that man doesn't dare to act rashly, I think he still has some concerns.
Next, as long as you don't stray too far from us, there shouldn't be any danger."
"Yes, I understand."
Indeed, when Hu Zezhi learned that the one who wanted to save him was a single person, he felt a lot more relieved.
After she relaxed, she suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, Mr. Lu, Senior Chen, there is something I have been wanting to tell you. When I was approaching the Holy Mountain, I seemed to feel something on the mountain calling me."
