Chapter 175: Known to the World Without Stepping Outside
In the seascape of his mind, Lu Qing found himself enclosed within a furnace.
His heart and spirit were continuously tempered, evoking a feeling that in the next moment, his soul might scatter and he might perish along with his cultivation path.
However, he knew that all of this was an illusion.
Thus, he remained unaffected, merely reciting the cultivation technique mantra in his mind, silently enduring it all.
Time passed, and the flames surrounding him gradually extinguished, the furnace dissipated, and the sliver of divine soul power returned to his acupoints.
Lu Qing immediately noticed a change.
He felt that his divine soul power had clearly strengthened compared to before.
A hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
"This Furnace Visualization method is truly a cultivation technique from the Cultivation Era. Even just a first attempt at cultivation has so obviously enhanced the power of my divine soul.
With such a mysterious method, to fully grasp the realm of 'Will' before reaching the Innate stage, is no longer an extravagant hope.
Even refining the Divine Soul Talisman is not out of reach."
Thinking of the various mystical descriptions of the Divine Soul Talisman in the Divine Talisman Sect's inheritance, Lu Qing felt a surge of excitement.
Since arriving in this world and awakening his superpower, he had obtained many inheritances.
Among these, the most precious were the inheritances of the Divine Talisman Sect and the Li Huo Sect.
Both inheritances came from the Cultivation Era.
But the origin of the Divine Talisman Sect's inheritance remained a mystery.
Lu Qing had not been able to uncover the past of the Divine Talisman Sect in the inheritance.
Even within the Li Huo Sect's inheritance, there was no mention of the Divine Talisman Sect.
Lu Qing did not know which of the two sects was stronger.
But in his heart, the Divine Talisman Sect was much more mysterious than the Li Huo Sect.
And the path of runes was also more mysterious than the Li Huo Sect's techniques.
Given that Lu Qing possessed extraordinary, almost cheat-like abilities, he could learn anything at an incredibly fast pace.
Yet even so, he had spent a long time just to get a basic grasp of the path of runes.
Up to now, he hadn't been able to refine a Divine Soul Talisman.
One could imagine the difficulty involved in the practice of runes.
Moreover, the path of runes was different from ordinary cultivation methods.
It stressed that all things in heaven and earth could teach one, and likewise, they could all be utilized.
It wasn't limited by the availability of spiritual energy and could be used even when spiritual energy was scarce, although with reduced power.
With such a powerful inheritance, Lu Qing naturally wouldn't give up.
So he had never slackened in his efforts to refine the Divine Soul Talisman.
It was just that due to the limitations of his divine soul power, the speed of refinement had always been slow.
Now the excellent effects of the Furnace Visualization method allowed him to rapidly enhance his divine soul power.
The complete refinement of the Divine Soul Talisman was in sight, so how could Lu Qing not be thrilled?
After fantasizing about the future for a moment and noticing that it was getting late, Lu Qing gathered his emotions, placed the war saber into his Qiankun Qi Bag, and headed home.
Once home, he pulled Little Yan and Little Li out of their bed, urged them to wash up, and eat breakfast.
Then, Lu Qing took these two little ones to the Half Mountain Small Courtyard.
"Ah Qing, Little Yan, are you heading to Old Doctor Chen's place?"
Along the way, villagers greeted them warmly, unable to resist taking several glances at Little Li perched on Lu Qing's shoulder.
Since returning from the county, Lu Qing had not asked Little Li to conceal its identity.
After all, in the county, it had revealed itself every day.
Moreover, he no longer needed to worry that anyone would harm Little Li.
```
Therefore, last night, many people in the village saw Little Li and learned that it was a pet creature raised by Lu Qing.
However, because Little Li's appearance is indeed peculiar, and it possesses a remarkable spiritual nature,
even though they knew of its existence, the villagers still felt astounded.
"Yes, I wonder if master has gotten up," Lu Qing said with a smile.
"He must have, I just passed by the foot of the mountain and saw Old Doctor Chen practicing his boxing in the yard."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with the villagers, Lu Qing took the two little ones up the mountain to Half Mountain Small Courtyard, where he found his master indeed in the yard.
What surprised him was that there was another person present.
"Mr. Zhi Rui?" Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire
Seeing the cloth-clothed youth drinking tea with his master under the plum tree, Lu Qing was very surprised.
He had not expected to encounter this person here.
"Young Master Lu."
The cloth-clothed youth nodded in greeting to Lu Qing with a slight smile.
"Mr. Zhi Rui, how come you are here? Has something happened in the county again?" Lu Qing couldn't help asking.
In his memory, the whereabouts of this person were always somewhat elusive, and he never showed up unless there was a significant matter.
And in recent days, he had also learned some information about Tianji Building from the ancestors of the Wei Family, which left him quite wary of this individual.
He knew that the other party not only possessed a lot of hidden information unknown to others,
but he also seemed to have a superpower with extremely keen powers of insight.
"All is peaceful in the county, according to the message I received from Tianji Building, that Wang Cangyi has already led his disciples back to Tian Cang Sect, Young Master Lu don't need to worry. As for me, I have left the county and am preparing to travel elsewhere," the cloth-clothed youth explained.
"Then Mr. Zhi Rui, what brings you here this time?"
"Naturally, I missed the floral tea made by Old Doctor Chen," the cloth-clothed youth said with a smile, "The tea I got from the elder doctor that day has already been squandered by myself, and now craving it, I could only come and shamelessly ask for a few more cups to drink before I leave."
"Hehe, that's easy, it's rare for Mr. Zhi Rui to enjoy it so much, just wait and the old man will send you some more as a farewell gift," Old Doctor Chen chuckled.
"Then Zhi Rui would like to thank the elder doctor here," the cloth-clothed youth happily said.
After securing the floral tea, the cloth-clothed youth's expression then turned serious.
"Of course, my visit this time is not only to ask for tea from you, elder doctor, but also to discuss a few matters with you," he said.
Lu Qing: ...
He knew that this person coming over couldn't possibly be just for a bit of floral tea.
"Please speak, Mr. Zhi Rui."
It was obvious that the elder doctor had expected this, so there was no surprise on his face.
"The first matter concerns Young Master Lu."
"Concerning me?" Lu Qing was taken aback.
"Correct, I just received news that just yesterday, the Seven Killings Tower officially issued a Seven Killings Order against you to carry out an assassination."
"Seven Killings Order…"
Lu Qing's complexion gradually grew solemn and became a bit grave.
"Indeed, so Young Master Lu, you are now famed throughout the assassin world.
You should know that Seven Killings Tower's Seven Killings Order is rarely issued, not even once in many decades, and countless people want to know just who has provoked the Seven Killings Tower into dispatching a Seven Killings Order to hunt them down."
"If possible, I would rather not have such fame," Lu Qing said somewhat helplessly.
Being the center of attention in the assassin world, even he could not help but feel pressured.
"Young Master Lu, with your martial arts prowess, from the moment you decided to go to the county to save the Wei Family, you were destined to rise to fame and shake the world," the cloth-clothed youth shook his head and said.
"The second matter I want to discuss still relates to you."
"Oh?" Lu Qing raised an eyebrow, "Could there be something worse than an assassination attempt?"
"This time, it should be good news."
The cloth-clothed youth took a scroll from his bosom and placed it on the table.
"This is a list called the Hidden Dragon List. It is a list compiled by Tianji Building, gathering young talents and genius martial artists from all over the world.
It is a list that countless young martial artists dream of being included in.
And Young Master Lu, you are on the list."
