Chapter 402: Refining the Quintessence Liquid, Spreading News
After swallowing all the Quintessence Liquid, Lu Qing retrieved the Five Elements Gourd back into his body.
He immediately focused his mind on the gourd, initiating the refinement of the liquid within.
The Quintessence Liquid that nurtured the extraordinary Five Elements Sacred Lotus was truly exceptional.
As the gourd rotated, a vast amount of Five Elements Essence was continuously extracted.
Lu Qing's Dantian instantly felt as if it were being stretched and filled.
He dared not delay and promptly activated the mental cultivation method of the Five Elements Body Refinement Art, beginning his cultivation.
As the abundant Five Elements Essence was refined, Lu Qing's cultivation level rapidly increased, swiftly enhancing his prowess.
...
While Lu Qing was in seclusion for cultivation, deep within the Ten Thousand Mile Mountains, the Xiantian Realm powerhouses within the Mystic Realm had, after a period of exploration, finally engaged in a fight.
"Brother Wang, I discovered this spiritual herb first. Is it appropriate for you to snatch it like this?"
In a mountain valley, a burly man had a displeased expression as he spoke to a thin middle-aged man in front of him.
The thin middle-aged man held a fiery red spiritual herb in his hand.
"Rules? What rules?" The thin middle-aged man smiled faintly upon hearing this. "Brother Qiu, I think you must be confused.
This is the Mystic Realm, and everything within is unclaimed.
Since they are unclaimed, all treasures naturally belong to whoever gets them first."
"If you want to blame someone, blame Brother Qiu for being lax in your cultivation, resulting in your sluggish movements."
If Lu Qing were here, he would recognize that these two were the same two Xiantian Realm cultivators he had seen in the forest not long ago.
"Good, very good!"
The burly man with the surname Qiu, seeing that the thin middle-aged man had not only snatched his spiritual herb but also mocked him, immediately turned sullen.
"Wang Yuanshan, are you relying on your Xiantian-level body cultivation, which makes you a bit faster?
Since you're so arrogant, I'll let you experience my Mountain-Moving Blade Technique!"
After saying this, the burly man with the surname Qiu drew a battle blade from his back, and a thick aura emanated from his body.
The thin middle-aged man's expression changed upon seeing this, and a longsword appeared in his hand as well.
The next moment, a gust of wind rose, and blade auras and sword auras flew in all directions as a Xiantian-level battle erupted in the mountain valley.
The two men, who had previously addressed each other as brothers, immediately engaged in a fierce fight.
"Wang Shouzi and Qiu Fei are fighting?"
Not far away, a middle-aged beautiful woman sensed the killing intent and showed surprise.
However, although she noticed the commotion, she had no intention of going to take a look.
"Both Wang Yuanshan and Qiu Fei are not easy to provoke. If I go over there, they might join forces against me, so it's better to keep a distance."
The middle-aged beautiful woman surveyed her surroundings with joy in her eyes.
"I didn't expect that not only is the spiritual energy here abundant, but the Five Elements power is also very dense. It's indeed worthy of being called a Mystic Realm.
Perhaps I can take this opportunity to successfully cultivate my secret technique.
Once the secret technique is partially mastered, even if I reach the Xiantian Realm completion, I will have the strength to fight. It will be much safer to seek opportunities later."
Just as the middle-aged beautiful woman was planning where to find a secluded place to cultivate her secret technique, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart, and a strong sense of crisis arose within her.
Without a moment's hesitation, she disregarded her image and quickly rolled to the side.
Just as she had finished rolling away, a black needle was embedded in the spot where she had been standing.
Not only did it leave a deep hole in the ground, but even the surrounding flowers and plants withered in a small area.
"Poison needle!"
The middle-aged beautiful woman's eyes widened in shock and anger.
She was furious that someone dared to launch a sneak attack on her, and she was surprised at the potency of the poison needle. If she hadn't dodged just now, even her Xiantian body might have struggled to resist it.
"Who?"
The middle-aged beautiful woman looked in the direction from which the poison needle had come, simultaneously enhancing her mental perception to the extreme.
Even with her full perception, she couldn't detect the attacker's presence.
She secretly felt bitter.
Especially with the Heavenly and Earthly Laws becoming increasingly stable, their divine soul perception had weakened significantly.
In the past, Innate Realm Warriors could sense each other's innate aura from Several Miles Away.
But now, if someone deliberately concealed their aura, they might not be detected even from a distance of just a few dozen meters.
For a congenital Realm powerhouse, a few dozen meters was a distance they could Cross in the blink of an eye.
However, despite not finding the attacker's trail, the middle-aged beauty always felt a hint of murderous intent enveloping her, refusing to dissipate.
It was like a thorn in her throat, causing her heart to ache slightly.
After a tense stalemate, the middle-aged beauty knew this wasn't a sustainable solution.
Her thoughts raced, and suddenly, she smiled coquettishly and spoke in a soft voice:
"May I ask which hero is playing such a joke on me? If you wish to befriend me, just say so. I love making friends with heroes.
There's no need to scare me like this. I'm just a weak woman, unable to withstand such a fright from a hero."
As she spoke these coquettish words, a seductive aura emanated from the middle-aged beauty.
She truly looked pitiful.
Seeing her demeanor, the person hiding in the shadows couldn't help but speak up.
But the words spoken were filled with hatred.
"Poisonous woman, stop pretending. I never expected to encounter you here. Heaven truly has eyes!
Today, I will kill you to avenge my deceased older brother and our entire Zhao family!"
As the voice fell, a figure emerged from the forest.
"It's you!"
Upon recognizing the figure, the middle-aged beauty was shocked.
"How is this possible? I clearly strangled you with my own hands back then!"
"Heaven has eyes. I didn't die completely, and I crawled out of my coffin.
Poisonous woman, these years, I've been searching for your trail, never expecting you to hide in this remote Cangzhou.
If not for this Mystic Realm's opening, triggering your greed, I might never have found you.
This is fate, Heaven's compassion for the Zhao family, ensuring you die by my hands!"
The figure who emerged from the forest was a young man, his face filled with hatred as he glared at the middle-aged beauty, as if he wanted to tear her apart limb by limb and drink her blood.
The middle-aged beauty stared back at the youth, and upon confirming his identity, her face relaxed.
"So, it's really you. These past few years, I've felt my mind unsettled, as if someone was spying on me in secret.
I had to flee to another state and hide in this remote Cangzhou.
So, there was still one of your kind left alive!
Perfect, today we'll settle this. I'll ensure the Zhao family is completely wiped out!"
As she spoke, the coquettish face of the middle-aged beauty twisted.
Suddenly, a short sword appeared in her hand, and she took the initiative to attack the youth.
In an instant, a fierce battle commenced on the forest side.
The opening of the Mystic Realm in the Ten Thousand Mile Mountains attracted powerful individuals from several states.
These powerhouses had either existing grudges or were vying for spiritual treasures. In any case, not long after the Mystic Realm's opening, numerous Innate Realm battles broke out, resulting in numerous casualties.
And this was just the beginning.
As time passed, the news of the Mystic Realm's appearance in Cangzhou spread further and further.
Finally, it reached the Central Plains.
