Early morning, Lu family.
Lu Qing woke up from his practice.
The spiritual stone in his hand had become dim and its spiritual power had been exhausted.
However, when he sensed the magical elixir in his body, he let out a sigh.
After refining a whole piece of low-grade spirit stone, the power of his magic elixir was increased by an almost imperceptible amount.
"There aren't many spirit stones left. If this continues, it will be a long time before I can complete the first transformation of the golden elixir."
Lu Qing pondered secretly.
It has been a year since Uncle Zhao passed away.
During this year, Lu Qing had already deduced and perfected the first three turns of the [Perfect Golden Elixir Method].
But his progress in cultivation was slow.
Now he is still in the initial stage of the Golden Core Realm.
The first turn has only been completed halfway, and there is still a long way to go before the first turn is completely completed.
And this was the result of his using spirit stones for cultivation.
If he didn't have spirit stones and only relied on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice, I'm afraid his cultivation speed would be shockingly slow.
The reason for this is that the concentration of spiritual energy in the world is no longer sufficient to meet his needs for practice.
Even the formation of the Jade Cave, in gathering spiritual energy, was far slower than the speed at which he could breathe in and out and refine it.
As a result, in the past six months, Lu Qing could only feel a significant improvement in his cultivation by using spirit stones for cultivation.
But the spirit stones he had were limited after all. After half a year of practice, most of the low-grade spirit stones he had had were used up.
Lu Qing estimated that even if he used all the remaining spirit stones for cultivation, at most it would only support him to complete the first level and barely reach the second level.
"If the first transformation is so difficult to achieve, then wouldn't the number of spiritual stones required for the second transformation be doubled?"
Lu Qing felt his scalp tingling just thinking about it.
Although the perfect golden elixir is powerful, the resources consumed in its cultivation are also many times more than that of other golden elixirs.
Lu Qing couldn't even imagine how terrifying the resources he would need when he cultivated to the late Jindan realm.
This perfect golden elixir is truly a gold-devouring beast!
“And ever since the fifth sound of the Heaven and Earth Dao Sound, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth has increased and gradually stabilized.
It will probably take a long time for the next sound of the Tao to come."
Lu Qing sensed quietly and felt that the rules of heaven and earth around him had become very stable.
It will probably take a long time before the next transformation.
He had anticipated this.
"Yan" also told him that in the last era of cultivating immortals, it took hundreds of years from the revival of spiritual energy to the concentration of spiritual energy reaching its peak.
It has only been a short time since the world revived. It will probably take a long time to wait for the next transformation.
"It seems that we have to think of a solution. I don't know if there are any spiritual stone veins in the places Yan mentioned."
Lu Qing was thinking silently.
As an antique who survived the last era of immortal cultivation, "Yan" knows a lot of secrets.
These include the locations of some of the more famous spirit stone mines from the last era of cultivating immortals.
I just don't know whether any spiritual stones have been produced in those places since the world has been revived for such a short time.
Just as Lu Qing was thinking about his future path of cultivation, his heart suddenly moved.
He took out a jade talisman from his bosom and read it with his mind.
This jade talisman was a communication talisman he refined, which could transmit information through telepathy.
A message came out from the jade talisman.
"Ah Qing, come over here after you get out of quarantine."
This is the message from the Master.
"Master, do you have something to ask me?"
Lu Qing's heart moved slightly.
Without thinking much, he left the quiet room and soon arrived at a small courtyard halfway up the mountain.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw the master drinking tea with two people under the plum tree.
One of them was Lin Zhirui, but the other one was a little unexpected for him.
"Senior Tianji Tower Master?"
Lu Qing was very surprised to see the old man with a sage-like appearance.
"Mr. Lu, long time no see." The owner of Tianji Tower said with a smile.
"I never thought that you would have the time to come to this remote place like ours."
"Mr. Lu is too modest. This place is full of spiritual energy, which is not inferior to that of Zhongzhou. It is obvious that this place is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery.
No wonder a genius like you, Mr. Lu, was born."
The owner of Tianji Tower exclaimed in admiration.
"Thank you for your compliment, Senior." Lu Qing smiled and said, "But how did you find time to come to Cangzhou?"
Lu Qing knew that a person like the owner of Tianji Tower was very busy and would not leave Zhongzhou unless it was necessary.
Moreover, the master specifically sent a message to ask him to come here, so there must be something going on.
While Lu Qing was thinking, the owner of Tianji Tower was also observing him.
Then he discovered that, just like when he was in Zhongzhou, even though he had made some breakthroughs in his cultivation recently, he still could not see through Lu Qing's true strength.
Apart from being able to feel that he was even more unfathomable, nothing else could be seen.
His technique of calculating the mysteries of the universe was completely ineffective on Lu Qing.
Thinking of the message Zhirui had sent him before, the owner of Tianji Tower understood.
Lu Qing's cultivation had really reached an extremely high level that was difficult for them to guess.
"To be honest, young master, I came here for something."
Seeing Lu Qing asking, the owner of Tianji Tower did not keep the question in suspense and spoke directly.
"I was asked by someone to ask Mr. Lu something."
"Oh? I don't know what it is. If I knew, I would definitely tell you everything." Lu Qing said.
Hearing Lu Qing say this, the owner of Tianji Tower suddenly became serious and looked at Lu Qing seriously.
Said: “This matter is related to the Hanging Mountain, one of the four secret places.
A year ago, many disciples and elders of Xuankong Mountain were killed by a mysterious strong man wearing a ghost mask.
Xuankong Mountain was forced to retreat into a secret place and never go out.
For more than a year, there has been no news of them in the world.
Originally, everyone thought that Xuankong Mountain was afraid of the powerful man with the ghost face mask.
In addition, the two aliens were very powerful at that time, so they hid in a secret place and bided their time and never came out.
But later, those two aliens were killed by you, young master, and disappeared for a long time.
There is still no sign of the emergence of Xuankong Mountain in Xizhou.
Not long ago, there were other secret places, and people couldn't help but send people to Xizhou to inquire about the news.
However, he was very surprised to find that the secret place of Xuankong Mountain could no longer be contacted.
Their requests for a visit went unanswered.
Finally, after multiple investigations into other secret places, the conclusion was reached.
The secret place of Hanging Mountain disappeared.
It's not the so-called staying indoors, but both the person and the entire secret space have completely disappeared.
Mr. Lu, do you know what is going on? "
Being stared at closely by the owner of Tianji Tower, Lu Qing smiled calmly:
"From what you said, Senior, do you think this matter has something to do with me?"
The owner of Tianji Tower did not speak.
Some things don't need to be explained so clearly.
But an ancient secret place that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years would disappear silently.
No force in the entire world can do such a terrible thing.
If he really had to guess, he couldn't think of anyone else except Lu Qing who had such magical powers.
After all, this person is able to easily kill those two extremely powerful Jindan realm aliens.
More importantly, Lu Qing also has an irreconcilable feud with Xuankong Mountain.
After all the speculations, I still can't believe it.
But the owner of Tianji Tower believes that if the disappearance of the secret place of Xuankong Mountain was man-made.
Apart from Lu Qing, there is no one else who can do such an incredible thing.
Seeing the look in Tianji Tower Master's eyes, Lu Qing smiled and said, "Since you already have the answer in your heart, why bother asking me again?"
The master of Tianji Tower was shocked: "If that's the case, it really is..."
“I don’t know anything else, I can only tell you, Senior.
Yes, the secret place of Xuankong Mountain has completely disappeared.
From now on, there will only be three secret places in the world.
Hanging Mountain has become history."
The owner of Tianji Tower and Lin Zhirui were shocked on the spot.
Although they had some guesses before coming.
But that is just speculation after all, and Hanging Mountain may not have really disappeared.
Perhaps some secret method was used to seal off this secret place.
After all, as an ancient force inherited from the last era of immortal cultivation, it is not too difficult to understand that it possesses powerful formations and means.
So now it has been confirmed from Lu Qing's mouth that Hanging Mountain has completely disappeared and has become history.
The master and disciple were still extremely shocked.
On the contrary, the old doctor next to him looked calm.
Lu Qing had already told him a year ago that Xuankong Mountain had been destroyed.
"Mr. Lu, this is really..."
After a long while, the owner of Tianji Tower came to his senses, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"It's just the destruction of a secret place, there's no need for you to worry about it, senior.
And senior, guess what else did I see in the secret place of Xuankong Mountain besides the monks of Xuankong Mountain? "
The owner of Tianji Tower was stunned, but with his sharp mind, he suddenly thought of something.
“Could it be…”
“Yes, the remnants of Wujian Tower, who were once surrounded and suppressed by all forces in the world, are surviving well in the secret place of Xuankong Mountain.
But don't worry, senior, they also disappeared along with the secret place."
"Is that really the case..."
The owner of Tianji Tower murmured.
In fact, when the remnants of Wujian Tower reappeared, he had already guessed it roughly.
It was only now confirmed by Lu Qing.
"I understand why you came here, you can tell the person who asked you for a favor.
The younger generation has always been clear about gratitude and grudges, and will not kill easily.
As long as I am not provoked, I am not that interested in making enemies with others."
Lu Qing understood that the disappearance of Hanging Mountain must have caused panic in the other three secret places.
After all, an ancient power that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years and has a secret realm as its backing, just disappeared like that.
If this matter is not clarified, I'm afraid that the people in the other three secret places won't be able to sleep well.
So he also expressed his attitude to the owner of Tianji Tower.
As long as you don't provoke him, everything will be fine.
But if someone doesn't know what's tactful, he doesn't mind letting what happened in the secret place of Xuankong Mountain happen again.
The owner of Tianji Tower naturally understood the meaning of Lu Qing's words.
He immediately said, "Don't worry, Young Master Lu, I will definitely pass on your words to the other three secret places."
"Okay, now that we've finished talking about business, let's all sit down and have some tea."
At this time, the old doctor spoke at the right time to dispel the heavy atmosphere around them.
Coincidentally, the spring water in front of him began to boil.
The owner of Tianji Tower sat down.
The old doctor began to brew plum tea.
After being brewed with boiling spring water, a strange fragrance soon wafted out of the pot and quickly spread throughout the yard.
When the master of Tianji Tower smelled this fragrance, he immediately felt refreshed, and the spiritual energy in his body was actually faintly stimulated.
He looked at the plum tea poured by the old doctor in surprise and couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!"
Lin Zhirui smiled and said, "Master, you must taste it carefully. Senior Chen's plum tea is unique in the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best tea in the world!"
"Zhirui, you are too kind. It's just that the scented tea produced by this plum tree is a little peculiar. How can it deserve the title of the best tea in the world?" The old doctor shook his head.
He handed the first cup of tea to the owner of Tianji Tower: "Please, owner."
The owner of Tianji Tower did not refuse. He took the cup of tea and saw that the tea was clear and had a strange fragrance.
He couldn't help but take a sip.
As the tea took a sip, he felt his mouth full of saliva. After a mouthful of plum tea went down his throat, the spiritual power in his body began to circulate involuntarily, becoming a lot more active.
The owner of Tianji Tower couldn't help but widen his eyes: "This plum tea..."
"Haha, Master, have you felt the magic of this plum tea?" Lin Zhirui said happily, "This plum tea is no longer just an ordinary tea.
It contains spiritual charm, which can invigorate spiritual power and increase cultivation.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a magical medicine. It is truly a magical tea.
That’s why my disciples say it is the best tea in the world.”
"The best tea in the world? This plum tea really deserves the title."
The owner of Tianji Tower felt the changes in his body and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
At the same time, I couldn't help but marvel in my heart.
This visit really gave him too much of a shock.
Although he had heard his disciples mention the strangeness of Jiuli Village before, he was still very surprised when he saw the village with his own eyes.
The spiritual energy gathered in this remote mountain village is actually no less than that in Zhongzhou.
Even he could not figure out the formation that was protecting the village.
Now I have tasted the spiritual tea that can increase my cultivation.
No wonder Zhirui never wanted to go back to Zhongzhou since he came here.
This is truly an excellent place for practice.
Listening to the praise from the owner of Tianji Tower, Lu Qing did not say anything, but just picked up the tea and took a sip.
Ever since he set up the formation and gathered the earth's spiritual energy from all directions into the village, the plum tree in the courtyard halfway up the mountain has become more and more magical.
Now it has a strong spirituality and can be called a real spiritual tree.
The grown plum blossoms are also of great benefit to low-level cultivators like the master of Tianji Tower and Lin Zhirui.
Of course, to him, it was just some tea that tasted better.
With his current level of cultivation, apart from spirit stones, only real spiritual medicines, and they must not be of too low a quality, will be useful.
Thinking about his own progress in cultivation, Lu Qing couldn't help but feel a headache again.
