Chapter 30030 "Then I won't persuade you anymore. I wish you happiness. ...
Lishan has magnificent scenery, and Fuxi Gate is quiet and secluded, shrouded in a faint spiritual energy, making cultivation there very effective.
But after two or three days, Lu Qingqing had already achieved perfect coordination with the Ice Star Sword. All she needed was a mantra to make the sword go wherever she pointed, and accelerating and decelerating was a piece of cake, as smooth as silk.
She flies in the air every day, her clothes fluttering like a goddess. She has become a beautiful landscape of Fuxi Sect. Many young disciples secretly watch her every day.
Other sword practitioners would have to practice sword-wielding techniques for at least several months or even years, but Lu Qingqing had become so good at it in just a few days, which made Jiang Qingbo's eyes filled with both relief and regret.
——It’s a pity that I didn’t meet this girl earlier, otherwise I would have taken her in as my disciple and trained her well. With Lu Qingqing’s qualifications, she would surely carry forward the Fuxi Sect.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world. Jiang Qingbo could only hide this regret and see her off with a smile.
"I know you have important things to do. Uncle Jiang, it would be reckless to keep you here for a few more days. These are Uncle Jiang's parting gifts for you. Please accept them."
After saying this, he called his personal boy and asked him to bring all the things up.
Lu Qingqing took a look and saw a brand new and beautiful cone hat and a huge brocade bag that was bulging with things on the tray.
She patted the purse at her waist and said, "Uncle Jiang, don't spend money. I have money."
Jiang Qingbo was amused. "You're going to the Taiji Continent, so money won't be of much use. There are five hundred spirit stones in the bag, a little gift from your uncle."
Lu Qingqing had almost forgotten about this. Apart from anything else, riding the transmission array cost five spirit stones.
"You are very thoughtful. I will accept it."
"What's so special about the cone hat you designed this time?" Lu Qingqing picked up the beautiful cone hat, looked at it from left to right, and was very curious.
Jiang Qingbo: "The shadowless needles I released this time come in two types: poisonous and non-toxic, making them convenient for use in different situations. There are many high-level medicine practitioners on the Taiji Continent, and smoke bombs are too useless, so I didn't make them this time. This time I've given you a new killing weapon."
He paused, his expression becoming serious. "But it shouldn't be used unless absolutely necessary."
Lu Qingqing also suppressed her smile and said seriously, "Qingqing knows, I will definitely be cautious."
She didn't ask because she knew the other party would explain.
"Cultivators live in a world of blood and gore. The higher your cultivation, the more dangers you encounter." Jiang Qingbo stared ahead, his eyes a calm expression that showed the calmness of someone who had experienced many hardships. "I've set explosives in your cone hat, which also contains my unique forbidden technique. If necessary, we can perish together with the enemy, body and soul annihilated together."
"Uncle Jiang, thank you."
It is dangerous for cultivators when they are alive, and they may not rest in peace even after death. Their bodies may be taken away by the enemy to be refined into puppets, and their souls may be collected to be refined into Horcruxes. In short, evil cultivators have ten thousand ways to torture people.
If you are still insulted after death, then you might as well choose to self-destruct. Lu Qingqing was somewhat touched. Jiang Qingbo really didn't treat her as an outsider and even took this into consideration.
"Don't be polite to me." Jiang Qingbo regained his affable and smiling demeanor. "Don't underestimate my explosives. As long as you hold on to them, even a Nascent Soul cultivator can be blown to pieces."
"You're the most formidable magical weapon maker in the Dawn Continent. Who dares to look down on you?" Lu Qingqing put on her new cone hat and clenched her fists. "I'll be the first to disagree."
"You are a sensible and sweet-talking girl, who wouldn't want you?" Jiang Qingbo warned again, "The Taiji Continent is not like the Dawn Continent. There are powerful people everywhere. You must be careful and cautious in your actions. As long as you have a good life, you will never run out of firewood."
Lu Qingqing agreed obediently, then solemnly said goodbye to Jiang Qingbo and left Fuxi Gate.
…
One can travel a thousand miles on a sword in a day. In just two hours, Lu Qingqing returned to the place where the dream began.
Fuyue Town is still prosperous, with merchants, local residents, traveling monks, and all kinds of people gathering here, making it very lively.
Lu Qingqing still lived in Room No. 1 in Wangyue Tower, and the waiter was still the one who served her tea and water.
But the person living next door is no longer the Nascent Soul master who helped.
I opened the window. The sweet-scented osmanthus flowers outside the courtyard had all faded, the leaves were slowly turning yellow, and a blanket of dead leaves fell to the ground. The wind also took on a chill. Autumn had truly arrived.
"Miss, do you need some hot water for a bath?" The waiter asked with a slightly flushed face, still not daring to look at Lu Qingqing's face. "The ghost market is open tonight, are you going?"
"You remember it clearly." Lu Qingqing took out some small change from her bosom and handed it to him, "Then I'll trouble you, little brother."
She hurried back to Yue Town for no other reason than to give the Ice Scorpion Grass she got from the Shura Secret Realm to Uncle Gui, and to ask him for another pill that could hide her charming physique.
After taking a bath and changing clothes, Lu Qingqing put on a veiled cone hat and went out.
Fuyue Town was even more lively at night than during the day, with the lights of the night market stretching out, making the town even more charming. Lu Qingqing had previously gained a reputation for punishing a few scoundrels in the town, and this time, people kept glaring at her along the way.
Lu Qingqing pretended not to see it, gathered her true energy, quickened her pace, and headed west.
The lush and misty lights of the ghost market ahead came into view. After being away for two months, it seemed as if nothing had changed, yet it also seemed as if nothing was the same anymore.
Lu Qingqing straightened her clothes, carried the lantern, and stepped over the high and wide threshold.
The ghost market was crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, and both buyers and sellers kept their voices very low.
After seeing and hearing this, the stalls that seemed strange before no longer seemed mysterious.
Lu Qingqing had no time to wander around and went straight to the deepest part of the abandoned manor.
As I reached the familiar corner, a voice came from behind, still so sneaky.
"Girl, do you want a male slave?"
“…” Lu Qingqing raised the lantern, and a short and fat man wearing a fox mask appeared in the light.
"Oh, it's you, young lady." The short and fat boss remembered Lu Qingqing very clearly, and his joy at seeing an acquaintance was evident in his tone. "I have a few new male slaves here, who are more handsome than Songzhu. Do you want to take a look?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several tall and strong men held their heads high and chests out, and began to show off their bodies and muscles intentionally or unintentionally.
Lu Qingqing waved her hand to indicate that she didn't need it.
"It seems that our Songzhu has taken good care of the girl and has earned her special favor." The short and fat boss smiled ambiguously, but also with great satisfaction. "Then I won't try to persuade you any further. I wish you happiness."
"..." Lu Qingqing couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "Goodbye."
At the deepest part of the ghost market is Uncle Gui’s private room.
In the past, this place was very lively, always crowded with people waiting. But today, the door was deserted, with only Uncle Gui's little boy to be seen.
Seeing Lu Qingqing, the little boy bowed slightly and said, "Hello, young lady."
Lu Qingqing returned the greeting, "Can I meet Uncle Gui today?"
"Master has gone on a journey," the little boy said with a smile, "before he left, he instructed me to receive the young lady if she comes."
Then he opened the door and held out his hand, "Miss, please."
Lu Qingqing nodded and stepped into the room.
It was the same as the last time I came here, with bright lights and a pleasant herbal scent.
"In that case, I will give this Ice Scorpion Grass to you, little master." She took out the spiritual herb from her pocket and placed it on the small table.
"Thank you, young lady." The little boy's eyes lit up when he saw the magical herb, and he bowed deeply. "Young lady, you are brave and resourceful, and you keep your word. You are as capable as any man."
"You're welcome."
Lu Qingqing felt regretful and even more worried. Without Uncle Gui, she couldn't ask for another miracle drug to hide her condition. The drug's effectiveness would only last for a month. What would she do then?
My mind was a little panicked for a moment, but then I thought, there's no point in worrying, I can only take it one step at a time.
After saying goodbye, he was about to leave when the little boy called him.
Lu Qingqing turned around.
"Miss, this is for you." The little boy took out a small alchemy furnace from somewhere. "Master told me to personally hand it to you. This is a thank you gift for finding the spiritual herbs for him."
Lu Qingqing reached out to catch it.
The alchemy furnace was not made of the fashionable bronze, but was fired from clay. It did not even have any patterns on it and was so plain and crude that it looked a bit crude.
But she knew that since it was something given by Uncle Gui, it must not be a common thing, so she should accept it.
"Young Master, please thank Uncle Gui for me." Lu Qingqing asked again, "Does the old man have any other instructions?"
The little boy smiled faintly, "Young lady, you are indeed as clever as Master said. Master said this alchemy furnace will definitely help you in the future, so you must cherish it. And don't let others see it, otherwise it will cause trouble."
"Qingqing understands." Lu Qingqing thanked him earnestly, "I will definitely follow Uncle Gui's instructions."
…
Back at the Wangyue Inn, Lu Qingqing placed the alchemy furnace in the space. It was placed on the small table in front of the low couch, just right and quite interesting.
She transferred her Qi to her eyes and opened her spiritual awareness.
The originally dusty alchemy furnace remained unchanged, its interior empty and devoid of any trace of substance.
No spiritual energy? That shouldn't be the case...
Uncle Gui must have a deep meaning behind giving her this thing.
Lu Qingqing observed it carefully for a while and thought that maybe this thing was like the Ice Star Sword, and would only shine under specific conditions.
Since I can't think of a solution right now, I might as well just let things take their own course. Overthinking will only cause more trouble.
The next most important thing is to go to Taiji Continent and find the powerful people of Yunmiao Sect to treat her illness.
…
Fortunately, Lu Qingqing had already mastered the art of wielding a sword, which saved her a lot of time on the journey.
After meditating and regulating her breathing all night, she went out before dawn.
Coming to a rarely traveled path outside the town, she threw the Ice Star into the air, climbed onto the sword, and walked with the wind.
The flowers and plants on the ground grew shorter and shorter, eventually becoming dense black dots. The houses in the town became the size of boxes, and early risers moved slowly through the streets like ants, tiny yet full of power.
Rivers and lakes are all at your feet. Towering mountains, shrouded in morning mist and clouds, nestle beside you.
This feeling is extremely comfortable and cannot be described in words.
During the flight, you can occasionally see other monks flying swords. We meet across the clouds and separate again in an instant, just like the fate of the human world.
The morning sun slowly rose into the sky and turned into the scorching sunlight of noon.
The destination is within sight.
