C1 Lu Qing Xun

"Have you eaten the fermented human meat inside?"

A middle-aged man wrapped in a worn-out cloth mumbled to himself. He stared at a certain spot with a long scar on his face.

"What!"

The one who answered was a shy little girl with a red face and innocent big eyes. She was obviously frightened by the man and subconsciously grabbed onto the blanket on her body!

The middle-aged man took out a dagger from his waist, walked forward, and stopped in front of a tree root.

The strangest thing was that the roots were bulging, as if they were the heart of a living being!

"Pfft!"

The middle-aged man stabbed in and opened a gash. The thick sap gushed out of the tree root and exuded a hot and pungent smell!

What was even more terrifying was that a withered arm was hanging down from the crack. It was as if it had been submerged in water for a long time, and there was no water at all!

"Ah!" The little girl covered her mouth as her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground, looking like she was about to cry!

"When I was young, my father and I lost our way in the fertiliser fields. For the past ten months, we had to eat this stuff to survive!" The middle-aged man's mouth formed a cruel smile as he faintly said, "When I'm lucky, I might even be able to eat people I know!"

"Me! I don't want it! "

The little girl was so scared that she crawled and shrunk back, her face full of tears.

However, there were countless tree roots beneath her feet. They were all sucking in the air like a beating heart. While the roots were pulling in and out, the ground had sunk into a huge pit. The bulge was actually a small hill!

Such a strange place made people feel a chill in their hearts!

"The rest of the Beitang Clan! What are you doing! " A female voice roared.

Three figures wearing cloth blankets were running over from a distance away!

One was a middle-aged woman, one was a large man with a somewhat cumbersome body, and the other was a handsome man, but his expression was somewhat gloomy.

"Sister Ye!" The little girl immediately threw herself into the middle-aged woman's bosom like a rabbit.

"Xin Xin be good, I'm fine." The middle-aged woman patted the little girl's back to comfort her while coldly staring at the middle-aged man called Beitang Qi.

"Don't worry, I'm just afraid that she'll be bored and tell her a little story. How about it, have you guys found him yet?" Beitang asked, shrugging his shoulders.

"I haven't found anything. It seems like I can only pass through this leaven and enter the calyx realm!" "Yes," the gloomy man replied.

The big bloke sighed, clearly depressed.

"When we depart, we will have forty people. Look, there are only five of us left." "Just for the sake of finding that little rascal, we're running around like madmen in this damned place. Is it really worth it?"

"He's our only hope!" The middle-aged woman opened her eyes wide and roared, "If you don't like it, you can go back and dream about it!"

"Hehe, what bullsh * t hope. Don't forget that last time, you all even said that the Forest Boa King was the master. In the end, he almost buried us alive!" The rest of the Tang Dynasty.

The woman's face turned ashen as she heard this. She pulled the little girl's hand and started moving forward. It seemed as if she had made up her mind!

"Sister Ye, wait for me!" The big bloke hurriedly grabbed his bag and rushed over.

Beitang Yu and the gloomy man didn't say anything else and followed along.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the group gradually became colder. A layer of frost had formed on the roots of the trees!

"We need to find a hole to hide from! There are wormholes everywhere, and if you catch a cold, you're done for! " Beitang She called out to the lady in front of her.

However, the woman did not seem to hear him. She still stubbornly continued on her way!

"The insects' ability to detect disease is very sensitive. If we catch typhus, they'll rush us like mad blood wolves after smelling the smell of blood. They won't be able to escape even if they wanted to!" Beitang Yu was flustered and exasperated as he continued to shout.

At this moment, the woman suddenly stopped in front of a protruding tree root. She abruptly pulled the little girl back a few steps. Her face was filled with caution and uneasiness, as if she had discovered something!

"There seems to be some movement!" The gloomy man suddenly pulled out the bow and arrow on his back!

"Bang!"

Suddenly, two staggering figures emerged from behind a humongous tree root!

The big bloke raised his short blade and was about to slash down on one of the figures!

"Wait!" "Great Zhao!" The woman grabbed the big man's wrist with one hand and stopped him from chopping!

The two men were wrapped in tattered cloths and vines. Their bodies were horribly deformed!

One half of its body was shriveled and withered, while the other half was covered in fat. The other half was a cougar whose legs were practically glued together. Its two heads were big and small, and its movements were extremely clumsy!

"Ugh!" "Woo woo!"

The two men looked extremely haggard. They struggled to extend their hands towards the woman and the others, as if they were asking for help. However, they could only let out odd cries!

"Behind!" There were three more left! They saw us! They're crawling towards us! " The big bloke looked behind the humongous tree root and shouted in panic.

"Pfft!"

The other men of the Northern Tang Dynasty stepped forward and slashed across the neck without hesitation. It was an extremely efficient slash!

The gloomy man shot out an arrow, and it instantly pierced the heart of another deformed man, killing him!

"Woo woo!"

Seeing this, the three freaks who were crawling behind ran back in panic!

However, their bodies were also very uncoordinated. Some of them had extra legs, while some did not even have legs. Their movements were extremely slow!

"You go!"

Beitang She, who was standing on the body of the cougar, expressionlessly shouted at the big sized man.

The big bloke took a deep breath and brandished his short blade, taking a step forward and slashing out one by one. His simple and honest face unexpectedly turned ferocious!

The woman's entire body trembled as she tightly embraced the little girl's head. It was as if she did not want her to see such a tragic sight!

"Me! We will be damned! We kill innocent people because of them! " The woman's eyes were empty and her voice was choked with emotions, unable to speak.

"Cut the crap." Beitang Yu interrupted her in disgust, "If we let those insect monsters eat them, we will be discovered by them, and the others might even be exposed!" These deformed people have already died once. Their hearts are twisted and they deserve to die! "

He did not say what the word "it" meant.

However, a deformed man's body fell down and revealed a small figure!

It was a little girl, about three or four years old, no different from a normal person. It seemed the deformed man had used his body to protect her!

"Mother!" Are you asleep? " The little girl blinked her big eyes as she looked at the corpse of the deformed man.

The big bloke's body stiffened. He did not make a move, but instead, threw down his blade and half-knelt down.

"What are you doing!?" Hurry and do it! " Beitang Yu roared.

"Hey!" "Who is it?" The little girl looked at the big man and tilted her head, looking extremely adorable.

"She! She can talk! " The woman said excitedly.

"I didn't hear anything." The rest of the group picked up their sabers indifferently and walked over to the big man.

"She is blind! Look! She couldn't see anything! She can't see us! We can spare her! " The big bloke raised his hand and waved it in front of the little girl's eyes, wailing in distress.

The little girl's eyes were indeed empty, but as if she felt something, she immediately withdrew her gaze!

"She is blind! She won't expose us! You can't kill her! This is the rule we set! " The woman also shouted to the rest of the Northern Tang Dynasty, as if she was grabbing onto a straw of straw that could save her life.

"You all know very well why she was abandoned here with these deformed people!" Beitang She walked over to the little girl's side and reached out her hand to tug at the clothes on her body!

From the torn part of the cloth, one could see red spots that were like snowflakes growing on her body!

"She's got a blood flower." Beitang Yu raised his dagger, and the cold light reflected in the little girl's eyes, "If you are caught by those strange insects, you will be parasitized until you beg for death!"

"No!" The woman let out a mournful cry. Unfortunately, that cold light had already fallen and the little girl had fallen into a pool of blood!

The little girl called Xin Xin buried her head in the woman's bosom and suddenly started crying.

The big bloke was on his knees, motionless, in front of the little girl's corpse.

"Put away your pitiful mercy!" Beitang She wiped off the blood on her blade and looked at the big sized man, then coldly said, "If you do not dare sacrifice others, then you are destined to become the victim of others! The reason why this world is so cruel is because your understanding is far from enough! "

After saying that, he took out something from his pocket and poured some blue powder on the corpses.

"What are you doing!" the woman called.

"Those are the poisonous pollen from the Heart Lotus, they often sprinkle it on the corpses, causing them to fester and pus. But for insect monsters, that is a fatal food temptation, enough to poison and kill all insect monsters in a nest!" The gloomy man standing at the side was silent as he explained.

"Leave some respect for the dead!" the woman cried in disgust.

But Beitang Bei ignored her and continued to scatter the powder into the corpse. When he was about to approach the little girl's body to scatter the powder, the big guy suddenly grabbed his hand without saying a word.

Beitang shrugged his shoulders, put away the powder, and sensibly walked away.

"Me! I felt him! " Suddenly, the child Xin Xin shouted.

"What!" The woman was also surprised.

The big man and the gloomy man immediately came over to the rest of the hall.

"He has entered the Enlightenment Lake! I heard them calling his name! " Xin Xin closed her eyes. She seemed to have some sort of strange sensing ability.

"What's his name?" The woman squatted down.

"Him! His name is Lu Qing Xun! Xin Xin opened her eyes and said, "He's in the calyx field in front! We'll see him soon! "

"Let's go!" The gloomy man lifted his bag and said.

The group of people seemed to have seen the light of dawn in the darkness as they galloped forward without stopping.

A jade-green glow emerged from the countless tendrils that filled the entire space. It was as if all the souls in the world had gathered here!

Those corpses lay quietly amidst the fluorescent light.

It was sad and beautiful.

Despair permeated his body.

Time: Light years.

Location: Lu Family's rear mountain.

"Immobilize Palm!"

A gust of wind burst forth from the palm of one of the youths. After a few seconds, it struck a waist-thick laurel tree right in front of him. With a "peng" sound, the tree trunk shook violently, as if it was about to break apart.

This young man had a delicate and pretty appearance. He wore a long robe with red stripes on it. Half of his hair was tied up, and the other half was loose and elegant. This kind of bearing could make some young ladies panic.

This young man was the son of the second elder of the Lu family, Lu Qingwen.

Lu Qingman frowned. She looked at the laurel tree, obviously not satisfied with the power of her palm strike.

"It wasn't easy to comprehend this move, the Immobilize Palm, from the Fragmentation Palm, but its power is too small!" Lu Qingxian pondered.

On the path of cultivation, one could use martial arts to enter the Dao. Therefore, everyone paid great attention to the external techniques that they had mastered!

Only after a while did he regain his senses. He walked to a rock under the tree and sat on it. He habitually touched the jade slip in his bosom and started to absorb the surrounding Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.

This was the most common cultivation method used by cultivators.

Lu Qingman was no longer unfamiliar with this matter.

It had been seventeen years since he had come to this place called the Yin-Yang continent!

The last thing Lu Qingwen remembered about his previous life was that his beloved girlfriend had told him that she had followed the arrangements of her family and was going overseas to marry a rich man!

After hearing this, Lu Qingxian turned around and left without saying a word. He went back to his room in a daze and fell asleep. When he woke up, he was in this new world!

After living on this continent for seventeen years and getting used to the wonders here, when he recalled the events of his past life, he only felt that it was like a dream.

Probably because he had not lived well in his previous life, Lu Qingwen swore to himself that in this life, he would live a wonderful life!

"It's fine if I don't have the 8888 'luxury novice gift bag, experience points, or a peerless Godly Flying Horse, but why don't I even have a novice guide!" Lu Qingman called out to the Heavens.

In this life, the heavens treated Lu Qing quite well. At just seventeen years of age, he was already a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!

In the Yinyang Continent, the cultivation of cultivators was divided into: Refinement Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Fasting Stage, Spiritual Movement Stage, Termination Stage, Aurous Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage. After breaking through the Nascent Soul Stage, cultivators could go through the Nine Layered Heavens tribulation and obtain the power of the mysterious Celestial Phenomenon.

Each cultivation level was further divided into five stages: Ascending, Small Success, Large Success, Small Perfection, and Great Perfection. It was simple and clear.

At Lu Qingwen's age, cultivators with ordinary aptitudes would always be stuck within the small success stage of the Refinement Stage. To be able to touch upon the level of the 'Small Circle of Qi Refining' was the limit for those with exceptional talent.

Lu Qingxian had broken through to the great circle of Qi Condensation a few days ago and had entered the Foundation Establishment stage. No one knew about this yet.

"Humph, if that Master Lu Xiong and those other damn elders knew about my current level, I wonder what kind of expression they would have. If father knew, would they praise me?"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingwen sighed. From childhood, he had grown up with his father, and his father had always cared for him. However, he seemed to be indifferent to his cultivation and had never asked about this.

Suddenly, a timid and weak voice came from the bushes beside him, "Young Master Qing Xun, it's time to rest!"

He stopped absorbing the spiritual qi, jumped off the rock, and walked in front of the young girl, tapped her forehead, and said gently: "Yuan Yuan, I've told you many times, call me Brother Qing Bei, not the Young Master, only the maidservants need to call me that." Lu Qing Xun was stunned, and stopped absorbing the spiritual qi, jumped off the rock, and walked in front of the young girl.

The girl called Yuan Yuan was only around sixteen years old, but her figure had already revealed its ample curves, which could not be better described with the word 'plump'!

Her face was still somewhat childish. At this moment, a hint of red appeared on her fragrant cheeks. Small, enchanting dimples rippled out as she lightly bit down on her lips. She was so cute and alluring that it would cause any man's heart to ripple.

The mandarin fairy shyly crossed her slender fingers and obediently said, "A mandarin fairy should have been serving Brother Qing Xun. A mandarin mandarin mandarin fairy would willingly serve as her brother's maid!"

Yuan Yuan was not a member of the Lu family, her surname was Ji. Earlier on, when she and her mother-in-law wandered to Qingyang Town, she was taken in by Lu Qingqing's father, Lu Xiangqun.

The status of a child's daughter-in-law was rather low. To put it bluntly, she was just a tool to carry on the family line. It was normal for her husband to order her around as a servant girl.

Just then, Lu Qing Xun immediately cut in, "Alright, Yuan Yuan, you are not my servant, I have always treated you as my servant! Sister, look! "

The mandarin woman's eyes immediately became watery, as if she was very grateful for Lu Qingqing's attention.

Before they could say anything else, a figure walked over from the path.

Lu Qing looked over and saw that it was her father. It was rare for her father to come visit him.

"Uncle, you drank again!" Yuan Yuan immediately smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

His hair was messy, and his clothes weren't very clean either. He looked like a sloppy-looking drunkard, but who would have thought that this drunkard was actually a master of the Small Circle of Fasting!

In this Lu Shi family, his strength was only slightly weaker than the head of the family, Lu Xiong!

"Yuan Yuan is also here. Little girl, you're getting smarter and smarter. Qing-jie, this is your fortune. Everyone in this family is so jealous that they're jealous to the point of being jealous!" Lu Xiangqun smiled lovingly at Yuan Yuan and immediately began to tease his son again.

Like Lu Qingxian, he did not despise Yuan Yuan Yuan because her background was poor.

"Thank you for your praise, uncle." The mandarin lady blushed and stole a glance at Lu Qingwen.

"I say, dad, don't you ever want to stop drinking?" Lu Qingwen grabbed the bottle from her father's hand.

"Of course I have. When I went to Qingyang Town's mutual assistance hall, they told me that the first thing I had to do was to draw a clear line between myself and any other drunkard. That's why I never went there again!" Lu Xiang Qun said drunkenly as he snatched back the bottle of wine.

"I'm convinced!" Lu Qingman rolled her eyes and changed the topic, "Then dad, why are you so free to come and see me today?"

Lu Xiang Qun shook his head: "I'm not here to see you cultivate, I'm here to call you back. Third Elder is still waiting at the Martial Hall for you to test your level of cultivation!"

"Like I said, how could you have the leisure to care about my cultivation!" Lu Qingwen was somewhat disappointed, and her tone revealed that she was dissatisfied with her father's attitude.

Lu Xiangqun seemed to have seen through his son's thoughts, and said: "From your current aura, you should have broken through the Qi Condensation period and stepped into the Foundation Establishment Stage, right?"

Lu Qingman was secretly surprised at her father's keen observation skills. Lu Qingwen had always kept his breath, so it was very difficult for anyone to sense his true cultivation level. However, her father had seen through it with a single glance!

This required an extremely sharp eyesight and perception!

Seeing that his son had such extraordinary talent, Lu Xiangquan did not display too much joy. Instead, a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.

He sighed and said earnestly, "Qing Xun, it's not that I don't care about your cultivation. It's just that I've experienced some things and have long given up on these fights. Father's only wish is to see you get married and have children, and live a peaceful life! "

"Father!" Lu Qingman didn't know what to say when she saw her father being so negative.

Lu Qing still knew a bit about his father.

"Alright, I should leave now. Later on, an important guest will come to our family. I have to go out with Patriarch Lu Xiong to receive him!" Lu said to the group.

If he needed the Patriarch and the Elders to receive the distinguished guest, then he was definitely not an ordinary person!

Lu Qing asked curiously, "Father, who are those distinguished guests?"

"I don't know either. I only heard that the Patriarch said that it was a member of a great sect that had a true cultivation method. They just happened to pass by Qingyang Town in order to find the Blood Rust Celestial. They wanted to stay here for the night." For us, a small family like the Lu family, people from sects are all rare and unreachable guests. That Lu Xiong must be laughing till his mouth spasms! " Lu Xiang Qun coldly mocked the head of the Lu Xiong. Then, he walked towards the small path and quickly disappeared.

It was a sect that had a true art. Heavens, how could a family like the Lyu Family befriend such a powerful force! Lu Qingman was shocked.

The three things that weighed the most on the Yinyang Continent were: first, Celestial Phenomenon, second, Rune, and third, True Art.

The True Art was a supreme scripture for cultivation. It was written by a master long ago when he comprehended the Grandmist Road or the Rainbow Skies. Through studying the True Art, the descendant could comprehend various external techniques or five elements techniques.

The Art of Truth was an extremely rare treasure, and it would cause a bloodbath wherever it was placed. Only the powerful families of large sects would have a copy of the Art of Truth. A low level power like the Lü family didn't even dare to think about it.

Generally speaking, it was impossible for the Lü family to hand over someone from a sect. Today's rare event was like a pie dropped from the sky!

Was the Bloodrusting Celestial Elephant really that precious? Lu Qing thought to himself. Even people from sects would come to such a remote place as Qingyang Town for this reason.

But after a short while, he remembered that his father had told him to go to the Martial Hall to take the Level Test.

"Yuan Yuan, let's go, I still have to go to the Martial Hall." Lu Qingwen said to the man next to her.

"Mm, alright, I'll help my big brother." The mandarin tree happily followed behind Lu Qingxun.

When those people see my level, they will be shocked again, Lu Qingwen thought proudly.

A month ago, he had accepted a test in public. When the Third Elder announced that his cultivation base was at the great circle of the Refinement Stage, many people were dumbfounded, unable to recover from their shock, as if they couldn't believe the truth.

This was not surprising. Normally, Lu Qingxian would always keep a low profile and socialize with others, suddenly appearing and suppressing all the younger generation from influential families. Moreover, this difference in status made others want to catch up to him.

There was already no one of the same generation in the Lü Family who could be compared with him!
