Chapter 352
352 Deducing a cultivation technique
Lu Qing was very satisfied with this result.
When Li Yanling discovered traces of the black crow Daoist priest on the ice plains of the extreme north, Lu Qing had already arrived nearby in his consciousness form.
He knew better than anyone how strong a late-stage golden core cultivator could be. The gap of several small levels would make the overall combat power of a low-level Jindan have a huge gap.
If his son and daughter-in-law did not handle the situation well, there might be a big problem and someone might die.
Lu Qing could not bear to let any of the gold core realm cultivators in the snow state die. His son and daughter-in-law were considered close relatives, and this was needless to say. Even yunxuan, sun Zhanghai, and Gongsun Qian had been marked by the system. Although they were not members of the Lu clan, they were still people in the Lu clan’s camp. They were also included in the ten golden core cultivators required for the Lu clan to be upgraded to six stars.
Therefore, he had to keep an eye on such things. If something really went wrong, Lu Qing would still have a chance to make a move.
He now had an abundant amount of karma. Taking advantage of the previous activation of the conquest mode, he had also specially exchanged and saved a batch of battle exchange items. Some low-level items were useless, but the four-star Battle exchange item was enough to play a very important role in the Golden core level. For example, the four-star sword talisman and the four-star curse talisman could unleash an attack equivalent to the late-stage golden core.
In the worst case scenario, he still had the option of ‘attacking from a distance’. With his current strength, he could easily kill the black crow Taoist with one slap.
However, unless it was absolutely necessary, Lu Qing did not want to take action personally.
It was definitely not to save karma!
He still hoped that unless it was absolutely necessary, he would try his best not to make a move. He could focus his energy and resources on the descendants of the clan to increase their talent and speed up their cultivation. This would allow them to have greater potential and turn that potential into strength faster. However, if that was the case, Lu Qing would still have to deal with everything in the future. To put it bluntly, what was the point of Lu Qing nurturing his clansmen?
Was it really just to upgrade the clan’s level?
It was indeed for this reason, but at the same time, he also hoped that the younger generation of the family could take charge.
Lu Qing could not be the one to resolve everything. In his higher consciousness form, especially with the training mode activated, he could teleport and run around easily. But even so, he still needed to cultivate on his own. How could he really have the time? why was he staring at the descendants of the family every day?
To put it bluntly, as the ancestor, no matter how powerful the hack was, it was only the hardware. To properly display it, it still had to depend on the ability of the juniors.
Right now, this was a chance for him to gain experience. Lu Qing did not want to personally interfere unless he had no other choice.
The truth proved that the younger generation of the family had handled the matter quite well even without his interference.
Furthermore, after the event was completed, Lu Qing also received the reward he deserved.
[ 4-star event: Black Crow Taoist priest (completed) ]
[ reward: 4826 karma, one grade-4 rare exchange item, one grade-5 rare exchange item ]
Lu Qing was pleasantly surprised when he saw the two rare exchange options.
Although the event was only a 4-star event, it actually spawned a 5-star rare exchange option!
This made him very happy.
The rare exchange tab was usually for better items. And the two in front of him were indeed like that.
One of them was a four-star breakthrough. The rare version of breaking through bottlenecks could be used to increase the success rate of a large part of it. The four-star version could help the cultivators of the clan break through to the Golden core stage from the initial enlightenment stage. It was a rather reliable exchange item.
The other option was a rare exchange option that Lu Qing had never obtained before-deduced cultivation techniques.
5-star rare: derived cultivation technique ”
[ select a wondrous-grade cultivation technique that the family already has and deduce it to Supreme-grade. [ cost: 2500 karma. ]
When Lu Qing saw this item, he found it difficult to decide where to use it immediately.
If there was anything that the Lu family had that was slightly weak in the market, it should be a cultivation technique.
However, this weakness was only relative to the other conditions. The Lu clan had a lot of wondrous-grade cultivation techniques. After taking over the Qingfeng sect, they had also obtained the blue Phoenix sword Sutra, a transcendent-grade cultivation technique. After becoming a member of the Yan Dynasty’s imperial family, he had also obtained the ‘divine general body tempering technique’, which originally belonged to the Li clan.
This divine general body tempering technique was a super-grade auxiliary cultivation technique. Although it was not his main cultivation technique, and the cultivation conditions were relatively harsh, once he successfully cultivated it, even if it was just the beginning, the improvement to his physical strength was very impressive. The core cultivators of the Lu clan were all trying to cultivate this auxiliary cultivation technique, and many of them had already achieved some results.
For example, Lu Weiwen.
Weiwen, who already had the magical power of the indestructible sword body, would become even more terrifying after supplementing it with this cultivation method.
However, it was a little embarrassing to say that neither the Qingfeng sect’s Azure Phoenix sword Scripture nor the great Yan imperial family’s divine general body tempering technique were his main cultivation techniques. The former was mainly an offensive technique, a sword technique, while the latter was a supplementary body refining technique.
Currently, the Lu clan’s main cultivation technique, the most common aspect of the five elements, had all been collected to the wonderful grade. Similarly, there were also many types of lightning attribute, such as the bright yang lightning Codex. There were also exquisite-grade ice-based cultivation techniques, and some of the other mutated spiritual roots didn’t even have exquisite-grade ones.
In the general cultivation world, wondrous-grade cultivation techniques were already considered superior and rare. In the past, the main cultivation technique of the Emperor of Great Yan’s imperial family was only of wondrous grade.
After all, there was still a huge gap between wonderful and Supreme-grade.
As for finding a Supreme-grade cultivation technique that he could cultivate, only Yunxiao sect could possibly have it in the Yan Kingdom. However, it was clear that the other party had been very strict about this and would definitely not spread it. Even the Yunxiao sect cultivators had to be the most direct of the direct descendants to have the opportunity to learn.
Therefore, since Lu Qing had the opportunity to deduce a cultivation technique, he would definitely deduce his main cultivation technique.
Lu Qing thought about it and decided to deduce the bright yang lightning Scripture.
There was no other reason than the fact that the Lu clan had many Thunder-attribute cultivators.
With the spiritual Peak’s Holy tower, the number of cultivators with lightning spiritual roots from the Lu family was still not as high as those with five-element spiritual roots. However, there were more than one of the five spiritual roots. Improving any one of them would not be as helpful as improving the bright yang Thunder Codex.
There was no need to think too much about this. Lu Qing spent his karma to fight back.
2,500 karma was not a cheap price. However, it was nothing to Lu Qing.
Even though he had not been saving up on his karma reserves, he had already accumulated 30000 karma.
After the exchange was successful, Lu Qing thought that there should be nothing else to do. Therefore, he returned to his physical body with his consciousness. Then, in his seclusion room, he injected the information of the cultivation technique into two blank deified soul Jade slips according to the information that appeared in his mind.
One of them would be placed in the clan’s Depository of Buddhist scriptures for the clan’s lightning spiritual root cultivators who met the requirements to cultivate.
However, transcendent-grade cultivation techniques were very sensitive. Even within the Lu clan, Lu Qing did not feel that every cultivator with lightning spiritual roots had the need to cultivate this technique. Only those with true potential and those who had made contributions to the clan were qualified to cultivate it.
As for the other letter, Lu Qing placed a restriction on it and handed it to the clan’s caravan. He would hand it over to Lu chaoxi when they headed south.
With the transcendent-grade bright yang lightning Codex, Lu chaoxi’s future cultivation path would be much smoother.
It was a bit of a pity that he actually had an even more awesome cultivation technique, which was those few ancient series cultivation techniques.
These were all divine-grade!
However, these divine-grade immemorial cultivation techniques could only be cultivated by certain top-notch talents. The lowest entry requirement was also the heaven spirit root.
……
The scale of the White ghouls in the South this time was not as strong as in the past few years. It was at a normal level. Out of all the White ghouls that had left the ice plains in the extreme north and headed south, these two white ghost emperors were probably the only ones.
At that moment, the two white ghost emperors had already followed the black crow Daoist to the West. The disaster of the Xue state could be declared over.
And that was indeed the case.
It was estimated that the Xue state would take about half a year to eliminate the influence of the White ghouls going south.
The line of defense still needed to be maintained. After all, there were still some low-level white ghouls that were coming south one after another. Of course, they had to be kept out.
In addition, although the White ghost emperor had not gone too deep into the Yuyang County’s line of defense, he had still allowed in many of the demons and monsters that had followed the White ghost emperor. He had to put in some effort to clean up all these.
But in any case, the White ghouls had been dealt with this time.
Half a year later, Lu Qing also received the rewards for the entire Conquest mode.
It was a total of 40000 karma.
Lu Qing’s karma reserves instantly broke through the 70000 mark.
It was a new high.
The White ghouls going south would, of course, be considered a war. At the same time, the corresponding mode of conquest would be activated, and the rewards would be accumulated.
The White ghouls killed by the members of the Lu family would be included in the prize pool according to the number and quality. However, the number of other cultivators killed in the Alliance wouldn’t be counted.
This made Lu Qing feel a little regretful. If everything was counted and the ratio was the same, he would be able to have financial freedom after this round, right?
At that time, he would draw a thousand in a row and then exchange for whatever he wanted.
However, after thinking about it, it didn’t make much sense. Back then, he had been very stingy and had to spend karma. He had to save on the exchange tab as well, or it would be gone once he used it. There were still very few rare exchange options, but he had already stored up a few hundred normal exchange options. They were of different types, and he had quite a lot of karma on hand. He could use them whenever he needed them.
For example, items like increasing one’s cultivation speed and breaking through bottlenecks were not counted as items that he would exchange for any Clansman he found pleasing to the eye.
Even so, excluding the various sources of negative karma he would receive every year, the amount he had in reserve would probably last him a few years.
After this wave of Conquest mode was completed, the karma reserve that had been below 30000 after much difficulty suddenly doubled.
The negative karma was no longer something that could restrict him.
He was more concerned about three things now.
Rare exchange tab, ancient series level up, clan level.
The importance of these three things increased in sequence.
There was no need to talk about the rare exchange items, they were all good things.
From the looks of it, the upgrade of the immemorial series was directly related to Lu Qing’s own strength. Lu Qing’s extraordinary combat strength was closely related to the primordial cultivation techniques, divine abilities, and talents.
What’s the use of forcefully raising one’s cultivation realm? Even though Lu Qing was at the nascent soul realm level one, he could easily defeat those at the intermediate stage of the nascent soul realm.
As for the clan’s level, that was even more obvious. Although the revival exchange tab was good, how could it compare to a real revival? From the looks of it now, Lu Qing’s clan’s level was what he truly looked forward to when he was resurrected.
……
Speaking of the current situation of the White ghouls heading south, although the threat of the Xue state had been mostly resolved, the White ghouls were still in the South. The next time he came back would be at least forty or fifty years later. It was not something that he needed to worry about now.
However, Lu Qing still had some ideas.
What was going on with these white ghouls?
According to the legends, in the depths of the ice field of the extreme north, there was a huge cave that led to the underground. It was said that this cave led directly to the abyss of the evil demon world. Countless white ghouls had crawled out of that big hole and came to the cultivation world.
However, Lu Qing felt that it was not reliable.
On one hand, even the Qingfeng sect did not have any records of this. On the other hand, based on Lu Qing’s current understanding, the sinister Devils did not live underground like the legends had said. The evil demons and the heavenly gods both belonged to another world.
If there was really such a big hole, it was essentially a portal that connected the cultivation world and the evil spirit world.
Lu Qing wanted to go and investigate.
Of course, the ice plains in the extreme north were too vast. Even if Lu Qing flew North at full speed, he could only see the vast snow and the White ghouls that dotted the ice plains when he reached the limit of the distance. He could not see the source of the White ghouls that were rumored to exist.
If they wanted to go further, they would have to rely on a Lu family member to get closer.
At that moment, there was one person in mind-Li Yanling.
Letting Li Yanling transform into a cloud and head north seemed to be a good idea.
He had transformed into a cloud, and the White ghouls that did not usually fly into the sky would not be able to discover her. More importantly, Lu Qing’s current range of action could be covered by a large distance if he flew at high speed in his consciousness for a day. He could Scout the path ahead for Yan Ling in advance and have her head north while ensuring her safety.
Even if there was any real danger, Lu Qing would be able to detect it in advance.
After thinking about it carefully, he decided to give it a try.
