Chapter 411

Chapter 411: Completely polished to perfection, ready to overcome the tribulation

“Master, although the white-robed man was slain by my disciple, he still has an even more powerful companion. We don’t know when he’ll return, so we must remain cautious.”

Lu Qing, though filled with murderous intent, suppressed it.

“Yes, this white-robed man must be one of the two mysterious masters who appeared in Zhongzhou not long ago.

Besides this white-robed man, there’s also a man in a strange gray robe.

According to our Tianji Tower intelligence, this white-robed man addressed the gray-robed man as ‘Senior Brother’ and was quite respectful.”

Lin Zhirui then spoke up.

The others immediately understood.

In the cultivation world, strength has always been respected.

Since the gray-robed man was this other man’s senior brother and was respected by him,

it was clear that his cultivation must be even more terrifying than his.

The aura he had displayed earlier was terrifying enough.

How much more powerful could this gray-robed man be?

For a moment, everyone’s thoughts grew heavy again, and they couldn’t help but look at Lu Qing.

Lu Qing pondered for a moment. “Master, no matter what, all we can do now is to fight the enemy head-on.

I’ve gained some insights from the recent battle, and I’m afraid I’ll have to retreat for a while.

From now on, Master, I’ll have to trouble you to maintain the village’s formation.”

The old doctor didn’t hesitate, saying, “

Okay, Ah Qing, just follow your lead.” “Indeed, Young Master Lu, your cultivation is paramount!”

The others perked up upon hearing this.

If Lu Qing could make another breakthrough, resisting the gray-robed man wouldn’t be impossible.

Lu Qing nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and pulled out a piece of scale armor from the Lihuo Cauldron.

“Oh, and this armor too! Master, refine it first. It should make controlling the formation easier.”

Indeed, the armor was the same one the white-robed youth had worn earlier.

It was truly magical, a top-grade defensive magical weapon.

Being able to block Lu Qing’s blade even when he activated his supernatural powers, one can only imagine how formidable its defense is.

Furthermore, its material is quite unique, possessing the ability to heal itself.

The cracks originally inflicted by Lu Qing’s sword completely disappeared in just a few moments.

Thinking that his master didn’t possess any defensive magical artifacts, Lu Qing simply gave it away.

He possessed several spiritual artifacts, but a top-grade magical weapon wasn’t of great importance to him.

On the contrary, if his master could refine this armor, his strength would surely increase significantly, ascending to a higher level.

“This armor…”

The old doctor took the scaled armor, feeling its power and feeling a shudder.

But before he could utter a word, Lu Qing soared into the air, heading home, quickly entering the house and disappearing.

Sitting cross-legged on his bed again, Lu Qing began to ponder the gains and losses of this battle.

The battle with the white-robed youth, while seemingly thrilling, had in fact inflicted no substantial damage.

After all, he had too many hidden weapons, and his deliberate and calculated tactics were unpredictable.

Although the opponent’s cultivation level was several levels higher than his, he still managed to escape his trap.

It could be said that the white-robed youth’s death was rather unjust.

At the Jindan realm, he still had many tricks up his sleeve, yet he caught him in a moment of carelessness and killed him on the spot.

But that’s how life-and-death battles between cultivators work: one wrong step leads to another.

Sometimes, a single misstep could lead to one’s downfall, a thousand years of cultivation lost in a single day.

I must learn from this and never underestimate my enemies simply because I’m at a higher level, leading to a fatal setback and the annihilation of my own cultivation.

After a moment of introspection, Lu Qing began to clear his mind, calm his emotions, and enter a state of cultivation.

Although the arrival of the white-robed youth had interrupted his practice,

the tempering of this battle had accelerated his refinement of his spirit, soul, and body.

Indeed, sometimes, actual combat and pressure are the best ways to sharpen a person.

Thus, Lu Qing continued his secluded cultivation, unsure of when the mysterious gray-robed man would arrive.

In a race against time, devoting himself to his practice, he didn’t even have time to examine the white-robed youth’s corpse.

Two days later, when Lu Qing opened his eyes again, a divine light flashed.

An aura of immense perfection, profound and profound, emanated from him.

“I have finally refined my body, soul, and all my essence, spirit, and spirit to perfection.”

Lu Qing sensed his own condition. His body and soul merged into one, in perfect harmony, without the slightest conflict.

The spiritual energy within his Dantian Qi Sea was overflowing with energy, reaching a level of purity so extreme that even the Five Elements Gourd could no longer refine it.

All his vital energy and spirit had been refined to peak condition.

Within his entire being, inside and out, there was no longer a single flaw.

A sudden realization struck Lu Qing.

At this point, he had cultivated the Foundation Establishment Realm to its most perfect peak, with no possibility of further improvement.

To grow stronger, there was only one path:

to break through the limits and reach the next entirely new realm!

So, let’s break through.

Without hesitation, Lu Qing unleashed the formation within the room and soared into the sky, soaring deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains behind.

“Master, I’m about to transcend the tribulation and achieve a breakthrough. I’ll be relying on you to take care of the village for the time being.”

The old doctor, also sitting cross-legged in the courtyard mid-mountain, was stunned upon hearing this message, then a look of surprise crossed his face.

A breakthrough!

Ah Qing was about to enter the Golden Core Realm?

The old doctor, now well-versed in the ways of immortal cultivation,

knew that at his and Lu Qing’s levels, the only realm requiring a breakthrough was a tribulation.

The Golden Core Realm!

Legend has it that this powerful realm, capable of transforming into magical powers and transcending space and earth through pure cultivation, requires no magical artifacts!

However, after the surprise faded, worry returned to the old doctor’s eyes.

The Golden Core Realm was indeed immensely powerful, but equally, the Golden Core Tribulation wasn’t so easy to overcome.

According to the text Lu Qing had given him, the deeper one’s foundation building, the more terrifying the Golden Core Tribulation would be when breaking through.

With Lu Qing’s accumulated knowledge, his Golden Core Tribulation would likely be terrifying, far exceeding even ordinary heavenly tribulations!

But now, the old doctor knew he couldn’t help Lu Qing.

All he could do was pray for him, trusting that he would successfully overcome the tribulation and achieve a breakthrough.

The old doctor suppressed his emotions and continued his cultivation.

This time, the white-robed man’s invasion had also deeply shaken him.

Facing a formidable enemy, Lu Qing had to fight alone, and he was unable to provide any assistance.

He had failed miserably as a master.

He didn’t want to experience this again.

Lu Qing sped all the way into the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains and began to choose a place to transcend the tribulation.

After a while of searching, he finally looked at a huge mountain.

“This is it.”
