PDLP Chapter 29 Breakthrough and Emergence
Chapter 29 Breakthrough and Emergence
Even though he had advanced to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, he was still like an ant in front of the Zhang and Zhao families.
"Perhaps I should consider moving to another spiritual field; staying here is not a solution."
Lu Qingyun pondered.
Even if the opponent hasn't shown its fangs yet, just like animals in the wild, exposing themselves to predators is a mistake in itself.
The other party has not yet made a move, but no one can predict what will happen in the future.
However, after opening the jade talisman and canceling the pile of jade talisman messages sent by Zhang Tianlie.
Lu Qingyun's smile froze on his face.
All that could be seen was a notice from Lingzhi Peak from a few days ago:
"As decided by the elders, the replacement of channels for the spiritual fields of the disciples within the peak is temporarily suspended."
To support the fight against the demonic sect, the sect has decided that newly enrolled disciples and those wishing to change their spiritual fields will have to be reassigned to spiritual fields outside the sect.
At this moment, Lu Qingyun felt as if struck by lightning.
Leaving the sect was naturally out of the question. With the war against the demonic sects imminent, Lingzhi Peak could not possibly arrange for them to live out their remaining years in peace and comfort around the sect.
The most likely scenario is that they will be sent to the three kingdoms of Dade, Dazhao, and Daye, which are close to the Qingchi Demonic Sect, to confront the Demonic Sect's invasion directly.
However, staying within the clan would inevitably mean facing the conflict between the Zhang and Zhao families, leaving them caught in the middle.
Lu Qingyun felt a little regretful.
He shouldn't have accepted Zhao Qingxuan's invitation to her lakeside villa in the first place; for that reason, he actually chose a spiritual field that was similar to hers.
This attracted Zhao Qingxuan.
Lu Qingyun sighed slightly, and finally decided to stay in the sect.
If the two families want to fight, let them fight.
Anyway, he doesn't take sides, and it has nothing to do with him.
Several days passed,
Lu Qingyun temporarily suspended his cultivation and began working on the advancement of the Golden Spirit Bee.
These spirit bees were originally at the early stage of the first rank.
For the past year, he has fed these bees large amounts of white corn.
Furthermore, following the incantation in Sun Chang's notes, he activated the strange dark cyan magic power of the "Ancient Tree Longevity Technique" in an attempt to stimulate the spirit bees and cause them to undergo a mutation.
Several months ago, they finally showed signs of a breakthrough.
However, at that time, Lu Qingyun was busy cultivating and did not have time to spare.
Now that he has broken through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, it is time for these spirit bees to advance together, so that they can provide him with more assistance.
Perhaps I can try to circulate some more magic power.
Observe the spirit bee comfortably flapping its wings under the power of longevity magic, its feathers gradually turning a layer of bluish-green.
Lu Qingyun pondered to himself.
Over the next few days, Lu Qingyun continuously absorbed spiritual energy to help the spirit bee advance its level.
"After half a month, it was still a success."
"Although it did not completely mutate, the flying speed of the spirit bee seems to have increased significantly, and the stinger on its tail has also turned bluish-green."
Half a month later, Lu Qingyun turned his gaze to the spirit bees soaring in the hive.
At this moment, they had become the size of mosquitoes, but their internal magic power was several times greater than before. Half of their carapaces were covered in a bluish-green color, and their tail stingers had completely transformed, becoming as tough as tree roots while retaining their original sharpness.
Lu Qingyun nodded slightly and fed them today's white corn.
Now that a year has passed, he still misses Li Erniu and the others.
However, Lu Qingyun was unaware of this.
While he was thinking of Li Erniu, Zhang Tianlie, who had been thinking of him all along, was also overjoyed to hear the news of his release from seclusion.
These days, he has been trying to figure out how to win over Lu Qingyun.
Even though he has now cultivated to the fifth level of Qi Refining, it seems to have become a kind of inner demon in his heart.
Zhang Tianlie, who prides himself on his exceptional wisdom, is one of the best among the second generation of cultivators in the Yunxia Sect. He even manages to easily win over an elder like Senior Brother Youhei from the Spirit Plant Peak.
But surprisingly, he made absolutely no progress with Lu Qingyun, who was completely unyielding.
Now, the opportunity has finally arrived.
Zhang Tianlie was filled with excitement and determined to make progress.
……
Lu Qingyun took out the jade talisman, intending to inform Li Erniu and the others of the good news of his breakthrough.
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the spirit field.
"Congratulations, Brother Qingyun, on another breakthrough! May your immortal path endure!"
Zhang Tianlie walked over with a smile on his face, accompanied by the old servant of the Zhang family.
Behind them, servants carried a huge table, on which were laid out all sorts of spiritual delicacies.
As Zhang Tianlie finished speaking, the old servant of the Zhang family and many other servants echoed in unison:
"Congratulations, Young Master Lu, on breaking through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining! May your immortal path endure!"
"Young Master Zhang, you are too kind. I am merely performing minor repairs, and I am not worthy of such a grand treatment from you."
Lu Qingyun smiled, but his gaze fell on the ordinary farmers in the spirit field.
When he broke through the barrier, he deliberately concealed his magical power. How did Zhang Tianlie know that he had successfully broken through?
Lu Qingyun smiled and asked, "Although I have known Young Master Zhang for a long time, how could you, living at the foot of the mountain, know that I have made a breakthrough?"
Upon hearing this, the old servant of the Zhang family changed his expression, scratched his head, and looked at Zhang Tianlie.
It seems the young master's plan is going to fall through again.
Originally, he didn't quite agree with the young master's method of winning over Lu Qingyun. In his opinion, they should kidnap Lu Qingyun's parents and relatives, and then offer them high positions and generous salaries. In that case, Lu Qingyun would definitely be won over.
Who would have thought that the next second Zhang Tianlie would wave his folding fan.
His eyes were clear, and he said in a loud voice, "Brother Qingyun, I, Zhang, do not wish to deceive you."
"If I don't tell you, who will? That would be disloyal to my friend..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Hu, the manager of the mortal farm in the spirit field, changed his expression and trembled.
It was he who betrayed Lu Qingyun's information. The Zhang family gave him two spirit stones, which was equivalent to several years' salary. How could he not be tempted by that?
However, who would have thought that the young master of the Zhang family was such a blockhead, and that he would betray Lu Qingyun in order to curry favor with him.
Wang Hu's heart was in his throat.
Then, Zhang Tianlie continued, "But if I were to tell you, Fan Nong's fate would be tragic, which would be another instance of me being unjust to my subordinates."
"Therefore, I, Zhang, am willing to inform Brother Lu that Brother Qingyun would be willing to grant me that mortal herb?"
Lu Qingyun lowered his brows slightly and looked into Zhang Tianlie's eyes. Zhang Tianlie's eyes remained sincere, and he looked directly at Lu Qingyun without any fear.
In fact, Wang Hu's trembling voice betrayed him the moment Zhang Tianlie spoke.
Now, the only question is how to deal with him.
But seeing Zhang Tianlie's confident and composed demeanor, Lu Qingyun was unwilling to grant him his wish, allowing him to gain both fame and fortune and win over a group of people for nothing.
A soft voice came from behind.
"Since Young Master Zhang wants these ordinary farmers, then take them all with him. It just so happens that I, Lu, have broken through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining and intend to personally cultivate the spirit fields."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Tianlie's face froze.
Wang Hu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The farmers around him were all beaming with joy, after all, following Lu Qingyun was not as promising as following Zhang Tianlie, the young master of the Zhang family.
Only Qiuju was pale.
Feeling lost and confused amidst the crowd.
