Chapter 340

Chapter 340 Shadows Surge, Spirit Valley

At the gates of Cangzhou Prefecture,

several figures, dressed casually but standing tall, exuded a gloomy and chilling aura.

“Cangzhou Prefecture, according to the intelligence we’ve gathered, a few months ago, a young man went on a killing spree here, annihilating an entire Xiantian Realm family.

While that young man’s appearance and build were vastly different from the one who killed Xuanming and his companions in the Holy City,

based on the information we’ve gathered along the way, it’s very likely that he’s the one causing so much unrest in the Holy City,”

one of the figures said slowly, gazing at the gates ahead.

“Yes, the news from the Holy City states that the individual in the Holy City is surnamed Lu, and has close ties to the Tianji Tower.

Over two years ago, the Tianji Tower held its final Potential Dragon Ranking.

The young prodigy who stood out among them was also surnamed Lu, and he’s from Cangzhou,”

the second figure said.

“A little over two years ago, he was still only at the Muscle and Bones Realm. Two years later, he’s able to trigger tribulation thunder and enter the Innate Realm.

He shows no signs of weakness. Fresh from his tribulation breakthrough, he’s already slain Xuanming and the others, defeating the Third Saint Lord.

I never imagined such a peerless genius could emerge from the outside world.

The laws of heaven and earth have only just begun to evolve and stabilize, yet he’s already forcibly transcended the heavenly tribulation. He’s a complete freak.”

The third figure spoke in disbelief.

“This is what the host was talking about. When heaven and earth transform and spiritual energy revives, the destiny of

heaven and earth will redistribute, giving birth to many children of destiny. But only those in this outside world can be blessed by

this destiny. This young man surnamed Lu must be born with great destiny, which is why he’s so extraordinary.”

“I suspect it’s not just great destiny; there must be some other secret within this boy.

Otherwise, it’s hard to explain how he could rise so rapidly and so defy common sense.”

Upon hearing this, their eyes lit up slightly, finding it quite plausible.

Only the leading figure spoke calmly, “Don’t get any ideas. No matter what secrets he holds, he’s someone we can’t afford to offend right now.

Before we left, the leader said we were here

solely to uncover the truth behind Xuanming and the others’ deaths, and to understand the current state of affairs.

Nothing else matters, do you understand?”

“Yes!”

the other figures responded with a shudder.

Though they held themselves in high regard, they dared not show the slightest disrespect to the man before them.

For all their skills were trained by him.

“Elder You, what should we do now?” someone asked.

“Let’s enter the city first and see if we can uncover his origins.”

Several figures restrained their presence and stole into the city.

While the provincial capital was heavily guarded, it proved ineffective against these mysterious individuals.

Once inside, they dispersed, each seeking out new information.

At night, several figures leaped from the city walls and emerged into the wilderness.

“How is it? Did you get anything?”

“No, I arrested several young men from aristocratic families and interrogated them, but I didn’t get any useful information.”

“Me too. I used extreme torture to interrogate the head of a family, but he still said he didn’t know the young man’s true identity.”

“I went to the City Lord’s Mansion to inquire, but I also got nothing.”

Several figures communicated with each other, only to find that no one in the city knew the origin of the young man named Lu Qing on the Hidden Dragon List.

“In the entire provincial capital, no one knows the origin of Lu Qing. Could it be that he is not from Cangzhou?” A figure asked doubtfully.

“Impossible, the Hidden Dragon List is slightly related to the mysterious way of destiny.

“The Tianji Tower wouldn’t intentionally leave false information on it.”

Elder You shook his head and said, “There’s only one possibility: Lu Qing’s cultivation isn’t in the city, but most likely somewhere more remote.”

“Elder You, what should we do now?”

“Let’s go investigate elsewhere. Have you cleaned up your mess?”

“We’ve cleaned it up. By the time the people inside find out, we’ll be long gone.”

“That’s good…”

Several figures quietly disappeared into the darkness.

It was not until the second half of the night that there was a commotion in the city. Some noble families discovered that their patriarch had died tragically in a dry well without making a sound.

Other forces also discovered that their disciples had died tragically in their rooms.

Even the maids and servants who served beside them died.

Even in the City Lord’s Mansion, guards in important positions died quietly.

For a time, the entire provincial capital city was shaken, and the city lord was also alarmed.

Unfortunately, they were destined to find out nothing.

The perpetrators had already left the provincial capital for an unknown distance.

Lu Qing naturally knew nothing about what happened in the provincial capital city.

Since he successfully laid the formation, his life has become leisurely again.

In addition to practicing every day, he would check on the situation in the medicine field.

With the continuous gathering of earth energy and spirits by the Spirit Gathering Monument , The situation in the medicine field changed almost every day.

After a few days, the spiritual energy became so rich that it was almost comparable to that of Qinglong City.

And the happiest one during these few days was undoubtedly the thousand-year-old ginseng.

Nourished by such rich earth energy and spiritual energy, its body seemed to have become a little fatter.

Even its spiritual intelligence had improved slightly.

By the fifth day, Lu Qing felt that the earth energy and spiritual energy condensed by the Spirit Gathering Monument had reached a peak and it was difficult to increase it further.

However, Lu Qing was already satisfied enough.

After all, the Spirit Gathering Monument was just made by him by melting ordinary jade, and it itself had its limits.

Being able to condense the earth energy and spiritual energy to the current level was already very good.

So after feeling that the spirit gathering effect of the Spirit Gathering Monument had reached its limit, he immediately reclaimed the remaining pieces of land next to the medicine field.

“Senior Yan, after this spiritual field is opened up, what should we plant first? “

After reclaiming several spiritual fields, Lu Qing asked.

“Yan” is an old antique who has lived for tens of thousands of years. He has a high status in the Lihuo Sect and is knowledgeable. He is also a master of refining tools and alchemy.

Adhering to the ancient saying that an elder in the family is like a treasure,

Lu Qing would still ask it for advice when there is something.

“Your spiritual fields have been cultivated for too short a time, the foundation is still shallow, and the spiritual charm is not enough. I am afraid that too precious medicinal materials cannot be cultivated yet.

I suggest that you plant some spiritual grains first.”

“Yan” is indeed an old antique and quickly gave his suggestion.

“Spiritual grain?”

“Yes, this spiritual grain may not seem as precious as those spiritual medicines and herbs, but it is easy to plant.

Moreover, the spiritual charm contained in the spiritual rice is extremely gentle and is most easily absorbed by people.

I see that you seem to be building a foundation for Xiaoyan. This spiritual grain is most suitable for warming her body.”
