Chapter 15 Time Flies
Lu Qingfeng listened quietly, looking towards Lu Qingshan.
These were the beatings and abuse he endured within the Returning to Truth Sect, with the most frequently mentioned name being Zhang Chong.
"Who is Zhang Chong?"
Lu Qingfeng asked.
"He is the Deacon in charge of our group of servant disciples, and he likes to beat people with a whip the most," Lu Qingshan said, pursing his lips.
Mentioning this name, a trace of hatred unconsciously appeared on his face.
"Zhang Chong!"
"Qian Han!"
"These people all deserve to be burned to death with Fireballs one by one!"
At first, Lu Qingyu recited this zealously, but then, feeling a rush of anger, his little face turned red, and he threw the booklet onto the ground fiercely.
"If we want to seek revenge on them, we can't burn this booklet."
Lu Qingfeng picked up the booklet that was thrown beside the firepit and handed it back to Lu Qingshan, "Keep it well. In three to five years at most, the three of us siblings will return to Yellow Ganoderma Mountain together. Everyone who has hit you or cursed you will pay it all back!"
"Right!"
Lu Qingshan nodded vigorously!
Before today, Lu Qingshan might not have believed his elder brother's words, as he had spent over five months in the Returning to Truth Sect and knew how terrifying it was.
Over a hundred official disciples!
Several dozens of Inner Chamber Disciples!
And then, there are elite disciples, various Hall Deacons, and Hall Masters!
Each one existing high above like 'Immortals'.
But today, he witnessed firsthand his elder brother's prowess—
Two Fire Bombs had burned the haughty Inner Chamber Disciple Wu Yuan alive. Another five servant disciples, stronger than him, didn't last many rounds either.
Lu Qingshan guessed that his brother's 'fortuitous encounter' must be even stronger than his Jade Pendant and the corpse!
"Starting tomorrow, Qingshan, you teach Qingyu how to read and about meridian acupoints. I will impart to you a Cultivation Technique, the 'Returning to Truth Technique' is not the right path, don't continue practicing it," said Lu Qingfeng, looking at Lu Qingshan.
"I'll listen to Big Brother."
Lu Qingshan nodded.
"Big Brother, when can I start cultivating?" Lu Qingyu asked eagerly.
"Once you have learned all the words and can accurately locate the meridian acupoints, you will be able to cultivate," Lu Qingfeng smiled and answered.
It's not good to start cultivating too early or too late.
Generally speaking, from age twelve to sixteen is most suitable.
This stage is when the meridians are fixed and won't affect growth. Moreover, the mind tends to stabilize, reducing the chances of going astray and becoming demonically possessed.
However—
Lu Qingfeng looked at Qingshan and Qingyu, a flash of spirit light in his eyes.
Name: Lu Qingshan
Cultivation: None
Level: 0
Root Bone: 2
...
Name: Lu Qingyu
Cultivation: None
Level: 0
Root Bone: 1
...
"Worthless siblings?"
Lu Qingfeng used the Heavenly Eye Skill to discern the levels, cultivation, and Root Bone of Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu.
Normal Heavenly Eye Skill could only detect the level of cultivation, but Lu Qingfeng's Heavenly Eye Skill, having been enhanced twice, could evaluate Root Bone. If used for selecting disciples, it would be a top-notch tool!
Among the two.
Although Lu Qingshan had been cultivating for a few months in the Returning to Truth Sect, he had failed to truly enter the path and was still at level 0, utterly lacking cultivation. His Root Bone wasn't much better, only a 2, making him a tall figure among the worthless.
Lu Qingyu, more like her big brother, also had a mere 1 point Root Bone—a peerlessly worthless person!
Lu Qingfeng had previously observed that the villagers in Black Wood Village generally had a Root Bone between 0 and 1, with very few reaching 2, probably escapes from the Returning to Truth Sect.
The siblings truly shared the same mediocre talent!
"However, with the 'Primordial" in hand, nurturing one or three worthless beings makes no difference," Lu Qingfeng thought to himself.
"Let's go to sleep quickly then, and start learning early tomorrow morning!" Lu Qingyu, somewhat impatient, pulled her elder and second brother to head back into the wooden hut to sleep.
Lu Qingfeng sprinkled sulfur powder and insect-repellent powder around the wooden hut and tied a circle of vines as a precaution before lying down to sleep in his clothes, logging into 'Primordial'.
...
In reality, since the day Lu Qingfeng visited Lu Qingshan, it had been four days with three days of preparation included.
In the game, thirteen months had already passed!
Lu Qingfeng had also turned twenty.
"The Fasting Pills refined during my time in Black Wood Village are enough for me, Qingshan, and Qingyu to consume for three months."
"In terms of cultivation, mastering the refining of the Yellow Dragon Pill is crucial to rapidly enhance real-world cultivation. Also, medicines that recover Inner Breath, quickly recover or control injuries, also need to be practiced and mastered one by one."
"Hand techniques and fist techniques ultimately can't compare with the sharpness of weapons, especially at the Fetal Breathing Realm stage. I have Wu Yuan's 일
```
This way, he had a total of six Elixir Recipes in his hand, including Fasting Pills, Yellow Dragon Pills, Spirit Clearing Powder, Recovery Breath Pills, Nourishing Essence Pills, and Charming Fragrance Pills.
Among them, the effects of Fasting Pills and Yellow Dragon Pills need not be elaborated.
Spirit Clearing Powder is an Elixir Recipe that appeared in the third enhancement of Alchemy Analysis, a rare Detoxification Holy Medicine within the Fetal Breathing Realm.
Recovery Breath Pills are low-level Elixirs for restoring Inner Breath.
Nourishing Essence Pills have miraculous effects on both internal and external injuries.
The last, Charming Fragrance Pills, are poison. Those poisoned must not mobilize their Inner Breath rashly, or it will expedite the poison's onset, making it impossible to fully eradicate. Once the poison acts, unless one surpasses the Fetal Breathing Realm, they are doomed to suffer limbs weakening and be at the mercy of others!
This was prepared by Lu Qingfeng for the potential high-ranking experts from the Returning to Truth Sect.
In reality, refining two Charming Fragrance Pills just in case might lead to unexpected rewards.
Thus,
Time flew by.
...
Alchemy is by no means an easy task.
Initially, Lu Qingfeng only knew how to refine Fasting Pills, garnering funds with threefold profits from Fasting Pills to support the practice of the other five kinds of Elixirs, which was quite strenuous.
This situation lasted for five years.
After five years, Lu Qingfeng finally mastered the refining of Yellow Dragon Pills, and the situation greatly improved.
The Yellow Dragon Pill Recipe derived from the twice-enhanced Alchemy Analysis had the same efficacy as the Fasting Pills and were above ordinary Elixirs. During these five years, Alchemy Analysis had been further strengthened twice by Lu Qingfeng.
Whether it was Fasting Pills or Yellow Dragon Pills, their efficacy and quality were greatly elevated, far surpassing ordinary elixirs!
With a second flagship product, Lu Qingfeng's income greatly increased, allowing him to considerably scale up his practice with the remaining four Elixir types.
Unfortunately, good things don't last long.
The mastery of Yellow Dragon Pills came on the third day, which was also the twenty-first day since Lu Qingfeng trio escaped from Black Wood Village.
Their traces were finally discovered!
"Big brother, wake up quickly, someone's coming!"
Lu Qingfeng was feigning sleep, his consciousness immersed in the 'Primordial,' overcoming the refining of the Charming Fragrance Pills.
Sensing the disturbance in reality, he immediately went offline.
Upon opening his eyes, he saw five burly men wielding sabers madly rushing towards him. Lu Qingyu stood beside him, shaking his arm anxiously, while Lu Qingshan, holding a saber, shakily guarded in front of the two.
"Qingshan!"
"You protect Qingyu, leave them to me!"
A flash of spirit light in Lu Qingfeng's eyes, he cast the Heavenly Eye Skill and noticed the strongest among these five was only at the Second Level of the Fetal Breathing Realm. He casually picked up the Nine-Ring Saber beside him, leaped powerfully at the five.
"Big brother, be careful!"
Lu Qingshan retreated slowly, nervously reminding him.
Lu Qingfeng didn't respond, intently watching every move of the five.
"Little brat, seeing all five of us brothers, you still don't think of running away?!"
The burly leader bellowed, his face revealing a ferocious grin.
They were ordered to search for the trio of Lu Qingfeng in the deep mountains, already very irritated after half a day. Unexpectedly today, they ran into them. If they could capture the three alive, the rewards from the Returning to Truth Sect would not be small.
They were all official disciples without potential. If they could further advance through this, it would naturally be excellent!
With this thought, the man gripped his saber tightly, charging likewise at Lu Qingfeng.
"Lifeless Blade Technique!"
The blade technique exploded into action!
This was one of the most popular saber techniques within the Returning to Truth Sect, wide and powerful swings, incredibly potent. Previously, Wu Yuan used this technique against Lu Qingfeng's Fire Bomb Technique.
Blades glinted!
Five sabers from five men chopped at Lu Qingfeng from different angles.
"Spare their lives!"
The leading burly man still thought about the Returning to Truth Sect's orders, worried about accidentally killing Lu Qingfeng.
"Spare their lives?"
Lu Qingfeng's mouth curled with a cold smirk, his footsteps a blur, his figure turned into a ghostly illusion, suddenly performing the Luo Smoke Step!
Everyone just felt a flash before their eyes, then Lu Qingfeng was out of sight.
Soon after.
A bright saber light flashed, and a loud shout echoed under the clear sky—
"Cloak Saber Technique!"
Momentum huge! Force deep! Wave higher than wave!
"What?!"
The leading burly man paled, realizing the severity of this slash, hurriedly raised his saber to parry. The Inner Breath of the Second Level of the Fetal Breathing rapidly circulated, converging in his hands, trying to block this strike.
"Die!"
Lu Qingfeng's eyes focused, his steps shifting unpredictably!
A saber, following a bizarre angle, suddenly chopped down—
Hiss!
"No!"
The leading Second Level Fetal Breathing burly man showed a look of terror, his eyes wide as the Nine-Ring Saber directly cleaved his face, killing him instantly.
Clang clang clang!
The other four sabers fell, Lu Qingfeng twisted his waist and back, casually waving the Nine-Ring Saber in his hand to block the four sabers.
With a forceful step, the Nine-Ring Saber continuously chopped.
Three more fell!
Holding the Nine-Ring Saber, Lu Qingfeng faced five with ease. Seeing only one left, Lu Qingfeng abruptly halted his offensive, resting the Nine-Ring Saber on the man's shoulder, he commanded sternly, "Who sent you here, how many people entered the mountain!?"
The remaining man, with a saber on his neck, was already scared to death. Whatever Lu Qingfeng asked, he answered.
Before long.
He spilled everything out like pouring beans, explaining everything in detail.
"Lord, spare my life! I will definitely not reveal your whereabouts!"
After confessing, the man knelt down with a thud, pleading incessantly.
Lu Qingfeng's expression unchanged, swiped the Nine-Ring Saber across the man's neck, gathered the five sabers, then turned and walked back.
