Chapter 194 The Demonic Trace Appears

Early in the morning, Lu Qing, Xiaoyan, and Xiaoli arrived at the small courtyard halfway up the mountain.

They happened to see the Wei family’s ancestor also present, the old doctor brewing tea beneath a plum tree.

“Greetings, Senior Wei,” Lu Qing bowed.

“Hello, Grandpa Wei,” Xiaoyan greeted politely.

“Good, all is well,” Wei Shanhai beamed. “By the way, Young Master Lu, I’ve gathered all the materials you asked me to find a few days ago. I’ve put them in the house. You can check later to see if anything’s missing.”

“All the materials?”

Lu Qing was pleasantly surprised.

He entered the house and took a look, finding that they were indeed complete.

He hurried out to express his gratitude. “Thank you, Senior Wei! I’ll cover the cost of finding these materials.”

“Young Master, you’re embarrassing me. It’s just a few materials, nothing to worry about. How can I repay your kindness to our Wei family with such a small gift?” Wei Shanhai said with a smile.

Lu Qing tried to decline again, but seeing Wei Shanhai’s insistence, he gave up.

“Then I’ll shamelessly accept it.”

“That’s right, but I’m also quite curious, Young Master Lu. Some of the materials you requested are quite unique. I wonder what they’re for?” Wei Shanhai asked.

“I want to experiment with something. As for what exactly they are, I’ll keep it a secret. Once I succeed, I’ll ask Senior Wei for guidance.”

“Haha, then I’ll wait and see.”

Seeing that Lu Qing wouldn’t reveal anything for the time being, Wei Shanhai didn’t get angry. Instead, he became even more excited.

The last time Lu Qing asked the Wei family to find materials, he reportedly created a magical molten fire, which he used to forge rare and magical weapons.

This time, Lu Qing’s materials were even more unique, and the experiment he was looking for must be even more extraordinary.

So he was very excited.

“Come, Elder Wei, have some tea.”

By then, the old doctor had prepared his tea.

Xiaoyan took Xiaoli to the study to read.

Lu Qing also sat down and chatted with the two elders.

“Excellent tea!” Wei Shanhai drank a cup of tea, his mouth filled with fragrance. He couldn’t help but praise, “Old Doctor Chen, every time I drink your plum tea, it tastes different. Your tea-brewing skills are truly remarkable.”

“It’s just that the plum blossoms are unique. My tea-brewing skills, old man, are pretty average,” the old doctor said with a smile.

Wei Shanhai knew this was a humble remark, but he couldn’t help but nod.

He looked at the plum tree behind the old doctor with a touch of envy.

Nourished by the essence of heaven and earth, the plum tree had long since undergone a transformation, becoming a rare and precious tree.

He felt a little annoyed, wondering why he hadn’t thought of this when he entered the Xiantian realm.

If he had also sought out a fine tea tree to achieve a breakthrough, then he too would have possessed a precious tea plant.

However, Wei Shanhai knew that this was just wishful thinking.

When he had glimpsed the opportunity for a breakthrough, he had been ecstatic, forgetting everything else and focusing solely on the breakthrough, fearing that he would miss the chance.

How could they have thought so thoroughly and made so many arrangements in advance?

After drinking a few cups of tea, the conversation started.

“By the way, Mr. Lu, a considerable part of the materials you need this time were purchased from the provincial capital. Yesterday, the steward from my mansion who escorted the materials also brought some major events that have happened in the world recently.” “

Oh, what interesting things are there?” Lu Qing asked with interest.

Now that the world is about to change, he is still very concerned about the movements of the world.

“The first big thing is that in Jeju, a very powerful demon has appeared in the past few months. He likes to hunt down martial arts masters who have practiced martial arts.

No one knows what kind of magic this demon has practiced. He can suck people’s blood, qi and bone marrow. He is extremely domineering and terrifying.

Every warrior who has been harmed by him has lost his qi, blood and bone marrow, like a dried corpse, which is very scary.

Moreover, this demon seems to like to specifically target talented warriors who have become famous at a young age and have excellent talents.

So far, dozens of young warriors have suffered from his vicious hands, many of whom are disciples of sects in Jeju, and among them are martial arts masters at the level of Inner Viscera.

This matter has caused a sensation in Jeju, and all the major sects have sent masters, determined to kill this demon and avenge their dead disciples.

“How could such a thing happen?”

The old doctor and Lu Qing were both shocked.

Especially Lu Qing, the deaths of those warriors described by Wei Shanhai made him think of something not so good.

“This is absolutely true. Now in Jeju, many people are in panic. Many young warriors dare not travel outside, for fear of encountering that demon and becoming his prey. “Wei Shanhai said seriously.

Lu Qing’s heart moved: “Senior Wei, I remember that the eldest son of your family seemed to be learning martial arts in Jezhou, then…”

“Don’t worry about this. Hao’er and several fellow brothers have already traveled to Zhongzhou half a year ago. He is not in Jezhou.”

Speaking of this, Wei Shanhai was also somewhat fortunate.

Otherwise, with the cruelty of that demon, he really couldn’t guarantee whether Wei Zihao would be killed.

The old doctor pondered for a moment and asked: “Being able to suck human bones and blood, could that demon be a master of the magic way at the innate level?”

“This old man doesn’t know, but I don’t think so.” Wei Shanhai shook his head.

“In the past thousand years, since the establishment of the Holy Mountain, the magic way has begun to decline, and there has not been an innate demon head for a long time. If this demon is really an innate demon head, the Holy Mountain should not have no action. “

“If it is not an innate demon head, the Holy Mountain will not take action? “Lu Qing asked.

“Indeed, the Holy Mountain’s status is so high that it naturally cannot do everything personally and take charge of everything.

Aside from some principled prohibitions, it basically does not intervene in conflicts between warriors below the Xiantian Realm.

Even in wars between counties and kingdoms that could plunge hundreds of thousands of people into flames, it will only watch from the sidelines, indifferent.

If the demon has not yet reached the Xiantian Realm, the Holy Mountain will most likely remain idly by.

After all, the world is too vast, and warriors emerge in an endless stream. The deaths of only a few dozen young warriors are

a major event in Jeju, but it’s nothing in the broader world.”

Lu Qing listened thoughtfully, and gained a deeper understanding of the Holy Mountain’s position.

“If the demon is only causing trouble in Jeju, it would be fine.” Wei Shanhai added.

“What I’m worried about is that all the major sects in Jeju have sent experts to encircle and suppress the demon.

If the demon sees the situation is not good and flees to our Cangzhou, then we will be in trouble.

For example, you, Young Master Lu, must be extremely careful. That demonic being favors young and talented warriors and may very well come after you.

Those of the demonic path possess strange and unconventional skills, vastly different from the martial arts we cultivate. You must be extremely cautious.”

Upon hearing this, the old doctor said with equal seriousness, “Indeed, Ah Qing, you must be careful.”

Lu Qing is ranked on the Hidden Dragon Ranking and is a truly peerless genius.

Judging by the demonic being’s behavior, if he escapes to Cangzhou, Wei Shanhai’s concerns are not unfounded.

“Yes, disciple, I will be careful,” Lu Qing agreed seriously.

While he was confident, he didn’t believe that no one in the world could truly defeat him.

If, as Wei Shanhai had said, the demonic being practiced was indeed as he suspected, he certainly couldn’t afford to be careless.

“Besides the Jizhou incident, there’s another major event.”

Seeing that Lu Qing had taken his words in, Wei Shanhai felt relieved and continued the conversation.

“But this incident happened in our Cangzhou, and it happened just these past two days.” (
