Chapter 182: Refining the Blade Embryo, Strange Misunderstanding
On a small hill, in the woods.
Lu Qing fell silent as he looked at the corpse of "Shadow" which was gradually losing its breath.
The other person's last words echoed in my mind.
"Sir Lu Qing, I have told you everything I can, but I advise you not to rush for revenge. There are many assassins stronger than me in our Seven Killings Tower, and several of the most important strongholds are guarded by Xiantian Realm elders.
Sir Lu Qing, you have extraordinary talent in martial arts and a bright future. You will surely grow into a martial arts giant in the future.
By then, it will be easy to take control of our Qisha Tower.
It’s a pity that I can’t see that scene with my own eyes…”
Lu Qing could feel that before Shadow died, he was full of resentment towards the Seven Killings Tower.
That's why he revealed all the information he knew about the Qisha Tower.
No one knew what kind of cruel things Qishalou had done to "Shadow", which made him, as a disciple, have no loyalty to the sect and instead hope that it would be completely destroyed.
He remembered that Tian Gu, who had previously assassinated Young Master Wei, had also given him some advice before his death.
From this perspective, these killers from the Seven Killings Tower are quite interesting.
Perhaps because they have assassinated too many people, they have long been prepared to face death.
At the moment of his death, he seemed quite calm.
However, although my impression of these killers has changed slightly, the enemy is still the enemy.
Lu Qing will not spare Shadow's life just because of this.
Although with his ability, it is not difficult to heal Shadow's injuries.
But being merciful to your enemies is being cruel to yourself.
As early as when "Shadow" decided to assassinate him, it was destined that only one of them would survive.
Lu Qing is not such a saint that he can magnanimously let go even the person who tried to assassinate him.
After investigation with supernatural powers, it was found that "Shadow" was indeed completely dead.
Lu Qing searched his body briefly, put some useful things into the Qiankun Yiqi bag, and then found a place to bury the body so that it could rest in peace and not be exposed in the wilderness.
After finishing all this, he took Xiao Li, who had been hiding in the dark, back home.
He didn't let Xiao Li show up before just in case.
If the enemy is too strong and he can't handle it, he still has a backup plan.
But it was obvious that he was worrying too much.
After returning home, Lu Qing took out all the things he had just collected from "Shadow".
After taking inventory, I found that there were not many useful things.
Apart from some gold and silver items, and gold and silver notes, there are only a few things that are truly valuable.
Two medicine bottles, a set of soft armor, and a Thousand-Refined-level dagger coated with a deadly poison.
Among the two medicine bottles, one is poison and the other is elixir for inner-viscera realm cultivation.
However, except for the bottle of internal organ realm elixir, the other things are of little use to Lu Qing. It would be a good favor to give them to others in the future.
Lu Qing felt a little sorry.
He had never found any secret books or anything like that on either Tian Gu or Shadow.
To be honest, he was still very interested in the Qisha Tower's bone-changing technique.
Although with his current realm, his control over his body has reached an extremely high level.
It is not difficult to change your appearance temporarily.
However, it is still extremely difficult to achieve the same level as "Tian Gu" before, disguising himself as another person seamlessly, with the whole body coordinated and almost flawless.
Unfortunately, it is obvious that there must be some kind of restrictions on the Seven Killings Tower, and the killers under their command are not allowed to carry secret manuals with them, so as to avoid leaking the various secret techniques that are the foundation of the sect.
Not finding anything particularly useful, Lu Qing packed up his things and headed towards the courtyard halfway up the mountain, carrying Xiao Li and the fish bucket.
"Brother, Xiaoli, you are back!"
When we reached the courtyard halfway up the mountain, Xiaoyan, who was reading an article in the yard with her head shaking, suddenly put down the book and ran over happily.
"Well, how is it, have you memorized today's article?" Lu Qing asked with a smile.
Xiao Li jumped into Xiao Yan's arms and enjoyed her caress.
"Okay, brother, how was your fishing harvest? Did you catch any strange fish?"
Xiaoyan knew that the reason why Lu Qing went fishing this time was mainly because Xiaoli had been craving for strange fish recently and had been rolling around on the ground begging for food, so he went out fishing early in the morning.
"I caught several of them."
The brother and sister were talking in the yard when old Doctor Chen came out of the house.
He looked at Lu Qing with a serious expression: "Ah Qing, what was that just now?"
Obviously, the old doctor was aware of the previous battle fluctuations between Lu Qing and "Shadow".
After all, the courtyard halfway up the mountain is not too far from the top of the mountain.
"A scoundrel from the Seven Killings Tower has been dealt with by my disciple." Lu Qing said casually.
The old doctor nodded, but did not ask in detail about the killer from the Seven Killings Building.
He himself does not like to hurt people's lives, but he does not ask his disciples to do the same.
What's more, he was very displeased with the Seven Killings Tower, a force that could assassinate others at will.
"Although it's okay this time, you still have to be careful on weekdays," the old doctor warned.
"Disciple knows."
Lu Qing nodded, and then continued: "Master, I was lucky this morning and caught a few red moon carps. The last time we caught the red moon carp, we didn't get to taste it. Why don't we taste one of the ten most delicious fish in the world tonight?"
"You caught a few Red Moon Carp?" The old doctor was very surprised. "Is it so easy to catch Red Moon Carp now?"
"I am also confused. Perhaps it is because I haven't fished for a long time, so all the strange fish in the river have gathered together."
Lu Qing actually had some guesses in his mind, but it was not a good idea to jump to conclusions before it was confirmed.
Hearing that there was red carp to eat, the old doctor also became excited.
In the evening, when Lu Qing was cooking, he didn't even read the medical book and left the study early.
Lu Qing steamed one of the two red carps and made soup with the other.
At dinner time, several people tasted the fish and found that the fish meat was tender, smooth, fresh and fragrant, and the fish soup was refreshing and extremely delicious, worthy of the name of the Ten Fresh Dishes.
Lu Qing and his friends enjoyed the meal very much and said it was very satisfying.
That night, after Xiaoyan and Xiaoli fell asleep, Lu Qing sat on the bed, thinking quietly.
During the day, he obtained a lot of information about the Seven Killings Tower from "Shadow".
This includes the locations of some important strongholds.
But he didn't intend to take action against the Qisha Tower in the near future.
Lu Qing is still very self-aware. With his current strength, it is just a pipe dream to want to shake the Seven Killings Tower.
Even if he could destroy one or two enemy strongholds unexpectedly, it would be of no use to a behemoth like the Seven Killings Tower, and would be of no use other than alerting the enemy.
When you hit a snake, you have to hit it at its most vulnerable part. Otherwise, don't do it at all. If you do, you must beat it thoroughly and leave it crippled, or even dead!
So Lu Qing is not in a hurry.
What he should do most now is to accumulate knowledge, seize the time, and try his best to enhance his strength.
Only when his strength is strong enough will he be qualified to compete with a powerful force like the Seven Killing Tower.
Moreover, he had a premonition that the change that the young man in plain clothes had mentioned that would take ten thousand years to happen was not far away.
Perhaps within a few years, the world will really change.
After condensing a trace of the soul rune framework, Lu Qing still believed in his intuition.
If you want to gain a foothold in the great changes of the world in the future, strength is the most indispensable thing.
Temporary gains and losses and struggles of pride are nothing. Strengthening one's own strength is the most important thing.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing's mind moved slightly, and a knife appeared in his hand. It was the magic weapon blank made of meteorite iron from outer space.
Placing the knife blank horizontally on his knees, Lu Qing concentrated his mind and calmed his breath. A trace of spiritual power flowed out from the acupoint between his eyebrows, entered the knife blank, and began to refine it.
What Lu Qing used was a secret method inherited from the Lihuo Sect.
Use your mind to refine the knife blank, engrave secret patterns in the knife blank, and leave your spiritual mark.
After the secret patterns are engraved and the ritual is completed, the knife blank can be transformed into a sword magic weapon, which is a higher level than a magic weapon.
However, because his spiritual power is weak, Lu Qing’s time for practice every day is limited.
Therefore, if you want to successfully refine the knife blank into a magical weapon, it is destined to be a rather long process and will take a lot of time.
After refining for a quarter of an hour, Lu Qing began to feel mentally exhausted. Knowing that he had almost reached his limit, he stopped refining and put the knife blank back into the Qiankun Yiqi Bag.
Then he took this opportunity to practice the [Furnace Visualization Method], and after straining his mind to the extreme, he fell into a deep sleep according to a special breathing method.
When Lu Qing woke up the next day, he felt refreshed, and the power of his soul in the acupoint between his eyebrows increased a lot.
This is the method of cultivation that he had figured out in the past few days, pieced together from the many inheritances in his mind.
Every night, he would first use the power of his soul to refine the meteorite knife embryo, and then practice the [Furnace Visualization Method]. After squeezing his mind to a certain limit, he would follow a certain tortoise breathing method to regulate his breathing and fall asleep, restoring the power of his soul in his sleep.
After such training, when he woke up the next day, after sufficient rest, his spiritual power was not only fully restored, but even improved a lot.
He truly achieved both refining equipment and practicing at the same time.
After feeling the enhanced spiritual power, Lu Qing was very satisfied.
At this rate of progress, it would no longer be a luxury for him to condense a complete soul talisman before entering the innate realm.
Looking at the sky outside, the sun had already risen. As usual, Lu Qing practiced health-preserving boxing a few times in the yard and then went to make breakfast.
He had just finished making breakfast and was about to call Xiaoyan and Xiaoli.
Suddenly, I heard a noise outside, followed by a hearty voice.
"Brother Lu Qing, I'm here to eat for free!"
"Master Ma, have you finished your clan's affairs?"
Lu Qing walked out, somewhat surprised.
Yes, the person who came was Magu. He was wearing a green robe and a long sword on his waist, and he was back to his previous attire.
"I'm done. Thanks to Zi'an, the tribe doesn't need to be busy anymore. The tribe leader and elders keep talking about it. They almost told me directly that as long as I can maintain the relationship between Zi'an and you guys, I don't need to do anything else.
I found this annoying, so I found an excuse and ran back to the market."
Magu looked quite depressed and even a little embarrassed.
He seemed to feel that the clan's actions were too calculating towards his relationship with Lu Qing and the others.
Lu Qing didn't care much about these.
Instead, he asked, "Now that you're back in Daji, what about Zi'an? You don't have to urge him to practice anymore, right?"
Lu Qing still knew the real reason why Wei Zian became Ma Gu's disciple.
"Well, I'll keep it a secret for now. You'll know in two days."
Unexpectedly, Magu just smiled and kept the secret.
Lu Qing: ...
Just when Lu Qing was speechless, he saw Magu take off the long sword from his waist.
"By the way, Brother Lu Qing, I just noticed a few days ago that this sword was given to me by you?"
Lu Qing took a look and found the scabbard familiar. It was the one he had asked Master Lin from Zhuxin Workshop to make that day, so he nodded.
"Yes, it was given by me as a gift for you and Young Master Wei's apprenticeship ceremony that day."
"Is it really from you?" Ma Gu's eyes widened. "Brother Lu Qing, do you know that this is a thousand-refined sword?"
"I know, otherwise why would I give you a gift?" Lu Qing continued to nod.
Nonsense, this sword was made by him himself, how could he not know its quality.
However, Lu Qing was also a little confused.
He has given away this sword for a while, why is Magu asking about it now?
"A sword of the Thousand Refined level is extremely valuable and priceless. Brother Lu Qing, I dare not accept such a precious gift. You'd better take it back." Ma Gu said hurriedly.
In his heart, Lu Qing was a great benefactor who had saved him several times in a row.
He hadn't even had the chance to repay such a great favor, so how could he have the nerve to accept such an expensive gift?
You know, even in the Ma family's treasure house, there is not a single thousand-refined level weapon.
So when Magu discovered this gift, not only him, but even the head of the family was completely stunned.
Lu Qing: "... Didn't Chief Steward Wei tell you that I made this sword myself? Didn't it cost me any money?"
"Did you make this sword yourself?!"
What Lu Qing didn't expect was that when Ma Gu heard this, his eyes widened even wider, like cow eyes, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Lu Qing was completely silent.
Judging from Magu's expression, he doesn't seem to be pretending. He probably really doesn't know about this matter.
But how could Chief Steward Wei make such a mistake?
What Lu Qing didn't know was that given that Chief Steward Wei was always thoughtful and considerate, he would not make such a low-level mistake.
However, a lot of things happened during the apprenticeship ceremony that day, especially Wei Zian was assassinated and seriously injured.
Even though Lu Qing treated him with magical medicine and saved his life.
But in the end, his vitality was seriously damaged, so the apprenticeship ceremony ended hastily.
Afterwards, the Wei family was so anxious to find out who offered a reward for the assassination of Wei Zian that they neglected the matter of gifts. They only sent the portion belonging to Ma Gu to the Ma family, and did not explain the rest.
Among them, Lu Qing's gift was mixed in among many other gifts and was very inconspicuous.
Later, when the Ma family was counting the gifts, they saw the name on the gift box and realized that it was sent by Lu Qing.
After opening it, the entire Ma family was shocked when they saw the Thousand Refined Sword inside.
By that time, Lu Qing and the old doctor had already started their journey home to Jiuli Village.
After listening to Ma Gu's story, Lu Qing finally understood what was going on.
He smiled and said, "In that case, Master Ma, you can take this sword without any worries. This sword is a practice sword I made at the Heart Forging Workshop. It is not particularly special and it didn't cost me much."
These words choked Magu.
A practice piece for the Thousand Refining Level...
Has brother Lu Qing's casting skills reached this level?
No, when did Brother Lu Qing learn the art of casting? How come he doesn’t know it?
Was it during the days when he returned home? But that was only a few days!
For a moment, Magu's thoughts were in chaos and his entire brain almost crashed.
However, knowing that it was truly made by Lu Qing himself, he finally accepted the Thousand Refined Sword.
"Master Ma, have you eaten? I just made some breakfast. Do you want to eat some with me?"
Seeing that Ma Gu's mentality had recovered, Lu Qing asked.
Ma Gu's eyes lit up immediately: "Of course I have to eat it. I came here on an empty stomach on purpose because I haven't tasted your cooking for a long time and I'm craving it."
"..." Lu Qing could only laugh when he heard such self-righteous words of freeloading. "Okay, you go into the house and wait for a while. I'll go and call Xiaoyan and the others to get up."
