Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 68 She’s Coming (Part 2)
Seeing that Lu Qingshan agreed, Lu Zhou controlled the flying boat to take a detour to Zhenjiang City.
The flying boat was traveling at an extremely high speed, and in a short while, it had already reached the outskirts of Zhenjiang City.
Lu Qingshan bowed and prepared to say goodbye to Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou glanced at Lu Qingshan and threw a storage bag towards him.
Lu Qingshan took the storage bag and probed his consciousness into it.
Inside the storage bag were forty fourth-grade spirit stones and several bottles of pills.
This is definitely a huge sum of money for a foundation-building cultivator.
Lu Qingshan raised his head and looked at Lu Zhou.
"Take it. I won these spirit stones from Fang Qian based on your performance in the Ruins Realm." Lu Zhou shrugged and said casually, "Don't think too much. I just don't want to take advantage of the younger generation."
Lu Qingshan did not expose Lu Zhou's arrogant face. He put away the storage bag and said with a smile: "Thank you, Great Elder ."
Lu Zhou glanced at Lu Qingshan and said, "Although you are young, you are not ignorant. So there are some things that I don't need to explain to you. You can understand them yourself. But no matter what, you, Lu Qingshan, are a member of my Lu family. If you really encounter any problems, just return to the Lu family. The Lu family can still protect you for the time being."
As soon as Lu Zhou said this, Lu Qingshan knew that Lu Zhou had seen that he was not going to return to the Lu family.
However, Lu Zhou did not stop his plan. He gave him those spirit stones out of concern that he would have no way to cover his expenses while traveling alone, so he gave them to him as a subsidy.
He's really a cute old man.
"Great Elder, don't you intend to ask how I got the A-level evaluation in the world of ruins?" Lu Qingshan asked back with interest.
Lu Zhou's expression was very calm. "If you are willing to tell me, you can tell me. If you are not willing to tell me, it is useless for me to ask, and it will only increase the conflict."
What Lu Zhou said seemed easy, but Lu Qingshan knew that this matter was by no means as simple as Lu Zhou said.
At the entrance to the ruins, how could Lu Qingshan not notice the envy of the cultivators from other families?
If the Lu family themselves don't know how Lu Qingshan obtained the A-level rating in the world, then when facing other families coming to them to trade, the Lu family will have no choice but to hold out and will be passive everywhere.
But even so, Lu Zhou did not intend to use a tough attitude to force Lu Qingshan, or bribe Lu Qingshan to tell him about his experience in the Ruins.
Even with Lu Qingshan's temperament, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
However, he had no intention of hiding this from Lu Zhou from the beginning.
So he simply told Lu Zhou everything about his experience in the Ruins.
As for the future strategic direction of the family, how to form alliances and the struggles between the various forces, it will be up to the three Jindan cultivators to worry about.
Judging from the current situation, with the carefulness of Lu Zhou and Lu Yuan, the Lu family should not suffer any loss.
…
After nearly ten days, Lu Qingshan finally returned to Zhenjiang City again.
In just less than ten days, he crossed the threshold from Qi Refining to Foundation Building.
Just as he said to Lu Zhou, the reason why he dared to show off his talents in the trial of the Ruins Realm was because he had something to rely on.
However, his support was not Zhishou Tower as Lu Zhou thought, but himself.
A month ago, he was just a mortal without any magical power in the Corpse Refining Cave. A month later, he had become a foundation-building cultivator.
This is his confidence.
People pretend to be pigs in order to eat tigers.
Facing the big tiger of the underworld, one must indeed keep a low profile, but in Lu Qingshan's eyes, how can the major families of the Xujie Alliance be called tigers?
Then there is naturally no need for him to keep a low profile.
Sword cultivators are full of vigor and vitality, showing their talents and doing whatever they want.
He didn't want to be bullied by that guy and be timid everywhere.
…
Lu Qingshan has always been a person who is good at planning and scheming.
Naturally, he had his own plans for returning to Zhenjiang City this time.
The strength of a swordsman lies in his sword.
Once a sword cultivator advances to the foundation-building stage, he will undergo a qualitative transformation.
There are two reasons.
First, the sword cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage will unlock his first natal sword slot.
This natal sword slot allows a sword cultivator to have an upgradeable, top-level offensive weapon that can be wielded like an arm.
The importance of magic weapons to cultivators is obvious, and the importance of the natal sword to sword cultivators is like water to fish.
After possessing the natal sword, the sword cultivator's combat power will instantly double.
Secondly, the Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator will be able to start practicing the two most important and signature skills of the Sword Cultivator:
[Sword Controlling Technique] and [Flying Sword Technique].
…
Lu Qingshan didn't have much idea about his natal sword at this time.
It's not that he's not in a hurry, but once the natal sword is determined, it cannot be changed. Plus, the natal sword is so important to a sword cultivator, he would rather have nothing than have something of poor quality.
As for the Zhenjiang Prefecture area, based on the information he knew, there was no sword that was attractive enough, so he had to put the matter of his natal sword on hold for the time being.
Fortunately, for now, the Soul-Crying Sword is enough for him.
However, there is no time to delay in learning the [Sword Controlling Technique] and [Flying Sword Technique].
Before mastering these two skills, the sword cultivator cannot be considered a true sword cultivator.
The Lu family is a family of magic practitioners, so the two techniques of [Sword Controlling Technique] and [Sword Flying Technique] are not included in the family's scripture library.
However, Lu Qingshan had already figured out where to learn these two skills.
After returning to Zhenjiang City, Lu Qingshan rented a quaint courtyard through a broker and settled there temporarily.
In addition, he paid some extra spirit stones and instructed the broker on some things.
After temporarily staying in Zhenjiang City, Lu Qingshan did not let himself be idle, but wandered around the major shops selling spiritual medicines and materials in Zhenjiang City.
If his guess is correct, someone will soon bring the two methods he needs to his doorstep.
As a gift to those who favor him, he also needs to prepare some return gifts before he can accept these two methods.
The third day after returning to Zhenjiang City.
Lu Qingshan came out of Baicao Pavilion, which specialized in selling spiritual materials, and returned to the small courtyard where he was staying temporarily.
As soon as he opened the door and entered the hall, Lu Qingshan saw a familiar tall figure in the hall.
It's finally here.
A slight smile appeared on Lu Qingshan's lips.
Although the person in the hall had his back to Lu Qingshan, he was dressed in snow-white clothes and had a cold temperament. Who else could it be but Tan Tai Qingrun.
"I haven't seen you for a while, and Master Tan Tai is still as high-spirited as ever." Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
Tan Tai Qing Run said coldly, "Why, it seems that you, Lu Qing Shan, are not surprised at all to see me?"
"I'm not surprised, but I'm a little happy." Lu Qingshan said indifferently.
Tan Tai Qing Run turned around and looked at Lu Qing Shan, as if he had discovered something. He raised his eyebrows sharply and said, "Before leaving Yuan Shan City, you were only at the eighth level of Qi Refining. It's been less than half a month, and you've already become a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"
