Faced with Lu Qing's farewell, although Han Lingshuang tried to keep him, Lu Qing finally chose to leave.
"Sister Lingshuang, let's go. Remember to come and see Xiaoyan next time."
Outside the Ice Palace, Xiaoyan said reluctantly.
"Okay, when I have time, I will definitely come to see you."
Han Lingshuang also likes this cute and elf-like little sister very much.
She was the daughter of the previous palace master, born with a noble status. She grew up in Hanshui Palace, and everyone respected her.
It was rare for someone to be so close to her, and she felt a little reluctant.
After the two said goodbye, Lu Qing took Xiaoyan's hand and flew into the air, flying out of Hanshui City.
Han Lingshuang stood there, looking until their figures disappeared.
"Palace Master, has the Supreme Lord left?"
At this time, several figures appeared behind Han Lingshuang.
"Yes, the Supreme Lord said that he went out this time to take Xiaoyan to travel around the world, and came to our Hanshui City just by chance." Han Lingshuang nodded.
"Then Li Changbo..." someone asked hesitantly.
"Shangzun said that he will never appear in this world again."
When the others heard this, they felt relieved.
Otherwise, it would be really unsettling for Hanshui Palace to have such a Jindan realm being who hates them to the core.
After relaxing, they were in the mood to joke around.
Someone sighed: "I didn't expect that he has reached such an unimaginable realm. Even the Jindan Zhenren has no power to resist him."
"Yes, thinking back to the time when we were in Zhongzhou, we watched him overcome the tribulation and enter the innate realm. It hasn't been long since then, and he has become so powerful." Another person also sighed.
"After the recovery of heaven and earth, the first person to cross the tribulation, and when he broke through the innate realm, he was able to trigger the thunder tribulation. It is indeed beyond our imagination."
It turned out that these people were the core disciples that Hanshui Palace had sent to Zhongzhou to compete for opportunities.
Even though they were watching Lu Qing transcend the tribulation at that time, they knew that this young man's future achievements would definitely be great.
But I still couldn't have imagined that the young man back then would be so unworthy of heaven.
In just two or three years, he was able to kill Jindan realm masters at will.
Even Xuankong Mountain, whose strength and foundation were much greater than theirs, was completely destroyed in his hands.
Thinking of Hanging Mountain, they felt relieved again.
Fortunately, they did not offend this person when they were in Zhongzhou.
Otherwise, their Hanshui Palace would probably cease to exist before Li Changbo attacks.
"However, being able to make friends with this person this time is a great thing for our Hanshui Palace. At least, anyone who wants to touch our Hanshui Palace in the future will have to think carefully." Someone laughed.
The others nodded in agreement.
Ever since the shocking incident decades ago, the foundation of their Hanshui Palace has been greatly weakened.
Many powerful men of the older generation died in that sudden change.
It’s just that because it all happened in a secret place, it is not known to the outside world.
This time, the old palace master failed in his tribulation, and Li Changbo came to bully him, which directly exposed their weaknesses.
That is their Hanshui Palace, which now lacks powerful combat power above the Jindan realm.
Originally, they were worried that after this incident, many forces would become restless and covet their Hanshui Palace.
But now, there is the relationship with Lu Qing.
Even if other forces have any intentions, they will not dare to act rashly.
This was also the reason why no one objected when the Palace Master opened the treasury this time and allowed Lu Qing to choose, and even offered the most core and profound [Hanbing Zhenlu] in their Hanshui Palace.
Because they really need to cling to this person's thighs now.
"Don't be too lax."
After hearing what those people said, Han Lingshuang said indifferently.
"It is better to rely on yourself than on others. A tiger skin can only be used for a while.
Even if the Supreme Lord can intimidate the villains, there are too many stupid people in the world. Over time, there is no guarantee that someone will want to do something stupid.
If we want to maintain and restore the dignity of our Hanshui Palace, it ultimately depends on ourselves.
As long as someone from our Hanshui Palace can successfully overcome the tribulation and achieve the Golden Core Realm.
Is there anyone in the world who dares to have evil thoughts?
Even someone like Li Changbo, who is at the Jindan level, wouldn't dare to bully us like this.
Therefore, you must work hard in your cultivation in the days ahead, and strive to achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible, so that our Hanshui Palace can regain its glory as soon as possible."
These words immediately made the expressions of several people serious, and they all responded respectfully: "Yes, Palace Master!"
After instructing the sect disciples, Han Lingshuang once again looked towards the sky in the direction where Lu Qing left.
The jade slip of inheritance in his hand was also held tighter.
From the time they spent together, she naturally felt that Lu Qing didn't care much about her.
In the other party's eyes, I'm probably no different from a passerby.
From Lu Qing's conversation, she could sense that his vision was probably no longer limited to this small world.
But it is the vaster world beyond the starry sky.
She even learned from Lu Qing that there was such a vast world outside the sky.
There has also been a certain change in mentality.
I developed a strong yearning for the vast unknown world.
She held the jade slip in her hand and said silently: "Shangzun, don't worry, I will definitely enter the Golden Core Realm and will not let you down."
…
"Young Master, I'm afraid that the Palace Master of Hanshui Palace is using you."
After leaving Hanshui Palace, "Yan" transmitted a message to Lu Qing's soul.
"Oh, why do you think so?" Lu Qing asked with interest.
“That Hanshui Palace has obviously had a big problem, and the strength within the sect has dropped significantly.
As one of the four secret places, even though the spiritual energy has been revived for such a long time, there is not even one person in the Jindan realm.
Li Changbo, a mere man who had just entered the Golden Core Realm and had a weak foundation, could show off his power over them.
It is conceivable that something must have happened in Hanshui Palace, causing its foundation to be greatly reduced.
Especially this time, after the incident with Li Changbo, the problems of Hanshui Palace were completely exposed.
It is hard to say whether other forces will not have different intentions.
That's why the Palace Master of Hanshui Palace is trying to please you so much, because he wants to use your influence to deter other powerful forces that may have ulterior motives."
"Yan" analyzed Hanshui Palace's thoughts bit by bit.
"Let's take advantage of it." Lu Qing said indifferently, "It's just that we each get what we need. The Fire Spirit Pearl is quite useful to me. These are just trivial matters."
Lu Qing naturally knew Han Lingshuang's little thoughts.
But this is also human nature. As long as it does not touch his principles and bottom line, he does not care about such trivial matters.
When Yan heard this, he said no more.
It just wanted to remind Lu Qing. Since he understood everything, there was naturally no need for it to say anything more.
After leaving Hanshui City, Lu Qing continued traveling with Xiaoyan.
In the evening, they arrived at a new city and stayed in an inn. After Xiaoyan fell asleep, he entered the Lihuo Cauldron with his mind.
"Young Master."
"Yan" came forward immediately.
"How is Li Changbo?" Lu Qing asked.
"He is being detained. He is very patient. Apart from being flustered at the beginning, he has now regained his composure."
"Yan" waved his hand, and a space cage appeared, revealing the situation inside.
Li Changbo was seen sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, concentrating, looking very calm.
Of course, at this moment, he couldn't feel the situation outside, let alone see Lu Qing and the others.
Seeing this, Lu Qing's mind moved slightly, and he removed the shielding force of the space cage.
Then Li Changbo opened his eyes immediately, and when he saw Lu Qing and "Yan", there was shock in his eyes.
Especially the image of "Yan", which made him realize at the first moment that this was not a human.
"Are you feeling comfortable here, sir?" Lu Qing asked calmly.
"Although it's dark here, it's still quiet." Li Changbo replied.
Lu Qing smiled and said directly, "Li Changbo, your cultivation is built up by spirit stones. Tell me, where did you get so many spirit stones?"
Hearing this, Li Changbo's expression could no longer remain calm.
He stared at Lu Qing closely, unable to imagine how this unfathomable young man in front of him knew all this.
You know, this is the biggest secret in his heart.
Even in that horrible illusion before, he didn't reveal a single thing.
"Why, you find it unbelievable?" Lu Qing saw Li Changbo's expression and said, "Do you think such a secret should be unknown to anyone?
Your foundation is weak, much weaker than that of an average Jindan realm cultivator.
He must have used some means to quickly improve his cultivation.
And now in the world, only spirit stones can have this effect."
Hearing Lu Qing say that he was much weaker than the average Jindan realm cultivator, Li Changbo's face clearly turned red.
He has always been extremely eager for power, and the proudest thing in his life is that he survived the thunder tribulation and achieved the golden elixir realm.
Looking at the whole world, he can be regarded as one of the top ones.
Now, he was actually described as weak by Lu Qing. How could he accept this?
But no matter how dissatisfied he was, Li Changbo did not dare to refute.
The previous fight had already made him realize that the young man in front of him was extremely powerful, and his strength was completely beyond his imagination.
The situation is stronger than the person. Lu Qing said he was weak, so he could only bear it.
Take a deep breath and try to calm your mind.
Because he knew this was his chance.
Li Changbo was silent for a while before he said, "So the senior brought me here because he was attracted by the spiritual stones on me.
This is simple, as long as the senior is willing to make a soul oath.
After I give my instructions, let me out and ensure my safety.
Then I will tell you where the spirit stone is."
"You also know the Soul Oath?" Lu Qing raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you have also obtained some inheritance from the ancient times of cultivating immortals."
The Soul Oath was a must-learn technique for most cultivators in the last era of cultivating immortals.
But in this era, not many people know about it.
Li Changbo didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.
If he had not received the inheritance, how could he have cultivated to the Golden Core realm by himself?
"But do you think you are qualified to negotiate with me?"
However, Lu Qing's next words made Li Changbo look up suddenly.
Then he saw a strange light emanating from Lu Qing's eyes.
Suddenly, a feeling of drowsiness emerged in his mind.
Li Changbo secretly thought that this was not good, but it was too late.
The next moment, he had sunk into the illusion again.
And this time the illusion was even more terrifying than the ones he had experienced before.
A quarter of an hour later, when Li Changbo woke up from the illusion again, his eyes were full of fatigue.
"I told you, you have no right to negotiate terms in front of me, and you don't have any secrets at all."
Lu Qing's words made Li Changbo tremble, and he looked at him with fear in his eyes.
Just now, he experienced unimaginable torture in the illusion.
Even in his perception, he had been tortured in the illusion for ten years.
"Senior, since you already know where the spirit stone is, could you please spare me this time?"
Li Changbo pleaded with his eyes.
Yes, in the illusion, he could not bear the endless torment after all and revealed the location of the spirit stone in his possession.
"What do you think?" Lu Qing looked at Li Changbo with a smile.
"Senior!" Li Changbo said anxiously, "I have no grudge against you, why do you have to kill me without even giving me a chance to live?
If you forgive me this time, I can swear a soul oath to become your slave.
From now on, I will be loyal to you and become the sharpest knife in your hand! I can do anything for you! "
"I don't need a slave like you." Lu Qing shook his head, "For the sake of treasures and power, you even schemed against your own wife and children.
A person like you who has no humanity is not worthy of being my slave.
And I promised the Palace Master of Hanshui Palace that I would not let you live in this world anymore."
"senior……"
Li Changbo was terrified when he heard this and wanted to beg for mercy, but Lu Qing was no longer interested in listening to him.
With a thought, a transparent flame emerged from the space cage and swept towards Li Changbo.
Li Changbo was shocked and immediately mobilized the magic power in his body to resist the burning of the spiritual fire.
But then, a look of extreme horror appeared on his face.
"Impossible, this flame!"
When the transparent flame touched Li Changbo's body, his flesh began to melt immediately.
His magic power of fire attribute was actually of no use at all.
Finally, in just a few breaths, it was engulfed by the transparent flame and burned to ashes, leaving only a fiery red bead in its place.
"You are just a person at the initial stage of the Golden Core Realm with a weak foundation, and you want to resist the burning of the Nanming Lihuo of the Lihuo Cauldron. Are you overestimating your own abilities?"
Seeing Li Changbo being burned to ashes, "Yan" showed disdain on his face.
In the ancient era of cultivating immortals, many Jindan realm cultivators who were much stronger than Li Changbo died under the burning of this Nanming Lihuo.
Don't be too relaxed when you kill a mere Jindan beginner who doesn't even have many magic weapons.
Lu Qing waved his hand and took the fiery red bead.
The beads warm your hands.
Lu Qing activated his special ability and looked over there.
Soon, realization appeared on his face.
It turned out that this bead was the rare treasure that Li Changbo had instigated his wife to steal from Hanshui Palace.
It is an incomplete top-grade fire magic weapon.
