Lu Qing walked step by step to the place where the plague gourd fell.
At this time, the plague gourd was half lying quietly in the pit that had been smashed into the ground.
There was no more gray gas coming out of it, revealing its gray body.
However, Lu Qing did not get too close and maintained a certain safe distance.
And in his field of vision, the plague gourd was emitting a faint purple supernatural light.
[Plague Gourd: A magical weapon of the evil ways, a damaged and inferior spiritual weapon.]
[The life-saving magic weapon of the evil master Plague Old Man in the ancient times of cultivating immortals. 】
[It contains the air of plague, which can corrode people's spirits and bodies, and spread the plague. It is extremely evil.]
[This magic weapon was severely damaged, and its spiritual power was greatly reduced. It has not recovered yet. ]
[At the end of the ancient era of cultivating immortals, in order to avoid the catastrophe of the five decays of heaven and man, the old man of plague abandoned his body and devoted himself to his lifelong magic weapon, taking over the spirit of the weapon and lingering on. ]
…
A strange look appeared in Lu Qing's eyes.
The note that emerged from the plague gourd contained a considerable amount of information.
First up is the Five Calamities of Deterioration of the Celestial Beings. This was the first time Lu Qing had seen this description.
It seems that the end of the era of cultivating immortals was not as simple as the exhaustion of spiritual energy. Something even more horrible happened, which led to the extinction of immortal cultivators and not even much inheritance was left.
The second is the so-called plague old man.
Abandon the body and take over the spirit of the weapon...
So, is this old man plague still alive in the gourd?
Lu Qing stared at the plague gourd quietly.
After a long time, there was still no movement.
It was as if after the death of the fourth son of the Qi family, it lost its controller and became a dead object.
But Lu Qing would naturally not be so rash.
The fourth son of the Qi family is only at the great perfection level of the Innate Realm. Logically speaking, he does not have the ability to freely control magical tools such as spiritual weapons.
Even with Lu Qing's current strength, it would be very difficult for him to borrow some of the power of the Qiankun Yiqi Bag.
If you say there is nothing fishy about this, Lu Qing would never believe it even if you kill him.
Now that the Plague Gourd is pretending to be dead, Lu Qing naturally won't be fooled so easily.
He thought for a moment, and suddenly a cloth bag appeared in his hand. Under the urging of his mind, the cloth bag suddenly grew larger and swallowed the plague gourd that was half a person's height.
At the moment when the cloth bag grew bigger, an incredible wave suddenly came from the gourd: "Qian Kun Yi Qi Bag! How is this possible? Wait..."
However, before the wave could finish its words, the Qiankun Qi Bag had already swallowed up the Plague Gourd, interrupting its next words.
After swallowing the plague gourd, the Qiankun Qi Bag returned to the size of a palm and fell into Lu Qing's hands.
A sneer flashed across his face: "You want to negotiate now? It's too late."
He knew that this old plague ghost was definitely not gone.
Otherwise, with the Qi family's fourth son's cultivation level alone, even if the plague gourd was damaged, he would not be able to control it so flexibly.
There must be other beings secretly helping him.
He even suspected that the fourth son of the Qi family was unable to refine the plague gourd at all, and that everything was just the plague ghost in the gourd confusing him.
Faced with this cunning old ghost who survived tens of thousands of years ago, Lu Qing naturally didn't want to listen to him more.
He will only feel at ease once he has it under complete control.
As for how to deal with the old ghost later, it is up to him to decide.
After putting away the Qiankun Yiqi bag, Lu Qing returned to the village.
Patriarch Ji and others greeted him with awe.
After witnessing Lu Qing's many magical methods and the terrifying power of the arrow just now.
Patriarch Ji and others finally understood why the Lord of Qinglong City said that even the Holy Mountain was unwilling to provoke the young man in front of them.
This is because his strength is no longer something that can be guessed by the innate realm, he is at another level entirely.
"Mr. Lu, is the fourth son of the Qi family dead?" asked the head of the Ji family carefully.
"Dead." Lu Qing nodded.
Patriarch Ji heaved a sigh of relief.
Although he saw with his own eyes that Qi Changfeng was blown to pieces by Lu Qing's arrow.
However, all the methods Qi Changfeng had used before were too incredible.
So before getting Lu Qing's confirmation, he really couldn't be sure that the other person was really dead.
"By the way, Mr. Lu, how is my son now?"
"I have already removed the miasma mark from the Third Young Master's body. Now his body is fine. As long as he recuperates for a period of time, he should be able to fully recover.
He has fallen asleep now. If you are worried, you can go check on him."
Lu Qing waved his hand lightly and removed the light curtain of the formation that was covering Young Master Ji San.
When the head of the Ji family saw this, he felt even more awed. He bowed respectfully to Lu Qing and then went to his son.
Lu Qing looked at the old doctor: "Master, how is your health?"
The old doctor, who had already finished regulating his breathing, smiled and said, "It's all right now. With the help of your talisman, that little bit of gray energy won't have much impact on me."
"Then the matter here has been resolved. Master, let's continue our journey."
"Okay." The old doctor did not object.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Chen, are you leaving?"
After checking on his youngest son's condition, Patriarch Ji was about to come over to express his gratitude, but was surprised when he heard the conversation between the two.
“Yes, Master Ji, the people in this village have been protecting Master Ling before we arrived.
Especially the girl who stayed beside him, who took care of him every step of the way.
Please don't treat them unfairly, Master Ji."
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Ji's face suddenly became solemn: "Of course, I am not the kind of ungrateful person.
Mr. Lu, please rest assured that the villagers in this village will be well taken care of by our Ji family. "
“Master Ji, these villagers once suffered from leprosy. Although they are now cured, they still have hidden diseases.
I will leave a prescription for you later. Master Ji can ask someone who understands medical principles to prepare the medicine according to the prescription and make some plasters.
Applying it to these villagers, after a while, even if their hidden diseases cannot be completely cured, they should be able to recover to be almost normal.
After your health has recovered, you can also use this recipe to remove the scabies and scars on your face and body."
At this time the old doctor said.
"Then I would like to thank you on behalf of my son and these villagers." The head of the Ji family said respectfully.
He did not dare to be negligent in front of the old doctor.
When he recalled the sword energy field that this person had displayed earlier, he still felt shocked.
As a fellow swordsman, he felt that his sword skills were just like a baby learning to walk compared to his opponent, and he could not even compare to him at all.
So the old doctor went to the carriage, took out pen and ink, wrote a prescription and gave it to the head of the Ji family.
Lu Qing thought about it and simply left a prescription and gave it to the other party.
"Master Ji, this is a prescription for conditioning. Take it back and treat the Third Young Master according to the instructions on the prescription. Within half a month, his body should be fully recovered."
"Thank you both very much. I will always remember your kindness and will never forget it."
Patriarch Ji took the prescription respectfully.
At the same time, I felt a little happy.
He had just checked on his youngest son's condition. Not only was he extremely weak, but the sores and scabies on the left side of his body and face were even more shocking.
These two prescriptions are like timely help, they came at the right time.
After doing all these things, Lu Qing and his team were finally ready to set off.
"Master Ji, we'll see each other again if we're lucky."
After everyone got on the carriage, Lu Qing nodded slightly and got into the carriage.
Ma Gu flicked the whip lightly, and the carriage started slowly at first. Then a green airflow emerged, turning into a stream of light, and drove away into the distance at an incredibly fast speed.
The head of the Ji family and others stood at the entrance of the village, respectfully watching the carriage go away.
Not until the carriage disappeared did everyone look away.
"Master, this young Master Lu is truly a god-like figure. No wonder the city lord is so in awe of him and dares not offend him in the slightest."
A person from the Ji family couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Yes, and that old senior is also extraordinary. His sword energy is like a dragon, which is the realm that sword practitioners like me dream of."
Another Xiantian realm master also sighed.
"Not only that, the fourth son of the Qi family has also become terrifyingly strong. I don't know where he got that gourd from. It actually has such a magical and strange power. I don't know what kind of treasure it is."
Hearing this, several Ji family innates fell silent for a moment.
Yes, they were also extremely curious about this matter.
They knew very well the details of the fourth son of the Qi family.
In the past, he was not only powerful, but his strength was even inferior to theirs.
But before, relying on that strange gourd, he not only reached the realm of the innate realm, but was also able to burst out such terrifying power.
Even the old senior who had comprehended the realm of sword energy could not do anything to him.
It goes without saying that the gourd must be an unimaginable treasure.
Unfortunately, with Mr. Lu around, the gourd is definitely not something they can get their hands on.
"It seems that after the revival of spiritual energy, the world has really changed. All kinds of incredible things have emerged one after another. I am afraid that from now on, the world will no longer be controlled by those of us in the Xiantian realm."
After a long silence, someone in the Xiantian realm sighed.
"Alright, stop sighing. The revival of spiritual energy has certainly made the world strange and incomprehensible, but this may not be the fate we are facing.
You should have also felt that the recent practice has been much easier than before.
As long as we continue to practice diligently in the days ahead, we may be able to possess the same great power as Mr. Lu in the future."
When the head of the Ji family saw that the innate realm people in the clan seemed to be dejected, he spoke.
Several Ji family innates couldn't help but tremble when they heard this.
There was a clear look in his eyes and a look of shame on his face.
"The master is right. It is us who have lost our ambition."
The head of the Ji family shook his head. In fact, after seeing the power displayed by Lu Qing, he was shocked.
But as the head of the family, he could not allow such a depressing atmosphere to spread.
Looking at the direction the carriage left, the head of the Ji family walked towards the village with mixed feelings.
I was thinking about how to resettle the villagers in this village.
Since he promised to take good care of the villagers here, he will naturally not go back on his word.
…
Lu Qing naturally didn’t know what happened between the Ji family and others after they left.
But he was not worried that the Ji family would not keep their promise.
Not to mention that given the character of the Third Young Master Ji, he would not do such a thing.
Even the head of the Ji family doesn't seem like someone who would be so confused.
As the head of a clan, he should know very well what the consequences will be if he deceives himself.
On the carriage, Hu Laosan was questioning Hu Zezhi.
"Xiao Lian, where did you go after leaving the city gate that day?
Your uncle later wrote to me saying that you did not attend the Xuanxin Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony at all.
And what about Brother Zheng and Miss Wang?
Like you, they have not been heard from since they left the city.
Qinglong City has not returned either. I have been to their residence several times, but no one is there."
Hu Laosan recalled the panic he felt when he received the letter from his uncle Hu Zezhi.
If you didn't know that Zhongzhou is vast and it would be extremely difficult to find someone, you would be better off staying in Qinglong City to get information.
He even wanted to leave Qinglong City and go look for his daughter.
"Dad, you don't know that Wang, Zheng and the others didn't intend to escort my daughter to Xuanxin Sect that day. They had been planning to get the Xuanxin Order from my daughter...
If it weren’t for Master Lu and the others who rescued me, I’m afraid I would never see you again in my life.”
Hu Zezhi finally had the opportunity to tell his father about his grievances.
After hearing these words, Hu Laosan was extremely shocked and angry.
"Those evil thieves named Zheng are such beasts in human form?
It was in vain that I treated them as my close friends and helped them settle down in the city.
I am simply blind!"
Hu Laosan never expected that the person he entrusted his children to almost put them in an irretrievable situation.
I was both shocked and angry, and also scared.
Suddenly, Hu Laosan knelt down in the carriage and kowtowed to Lu Qing and the old doctor.
"Thank you, young master and old senior, for saving my daughter's life. Otherwise, I, Hu Lao San, would not know how to live the rest of my life."
"Uncle Hu, there is no need to be like this. We just happened to meet by chance that day. It is because Miss Hu is blessed that she was able to turn the disaster into a blessing."
Lu Qing reached out and gently helped Hu Laosan up, saying with a smile.
"Mr. Lu, since the child's mother passed away, Xiaolian has been my only concern in this life.
I really can't imagine a life without her.
In short, I, Hu Lao San, will never forget your great kindness. Even if I have to work like a slave, I will definitely repay you in the future."
Hu Laosan couldn't kneel down, but the gratitude on his face did not diminish in the slightest.
"Uncle Hu, you are too serious."
Lu Qing comforted Hu Laosan a few more times.
Suddenly, his expression changed and he called out softly, "Master Ma, let's find a place to rest for a while at noon."
Ji Zhuo looked at the old doctor with some seriousness: "Master, after we park the car, I need to retreat for a while."
"Is there something wrong with the gourd? Do you need my help?"
The old doctor noticed Lu Qing's expression and said with some concern.
He naturally saw the scene of Lu Qing collecting the plague gourd.
In fact, the old doctor had long been aware that Lu Qing was carrying a magical treasure that could collect items.
After all, Lu Qing has never tried to hide this matter too much.
Thinking of the strangeness of the gray gourd before, the old doctor felt a little worried.
"It's okay. I can handle it. Master will help protect you later." Lu Qing said with a faint smile.
