229 Chapter 228-final warning (2 in 1)
[three-star Conquest event: battle over the black seal stone mine]
[reward: 689 karma, grade-3 free exchange option ‘enlightenment’]
……
This was the message that Lu Qing had received.
He only ended his cultivation when the battle was about to begin. He activated the training mode in his family and teleported here.
He didn’t interfere in the battle.
That Zhao qinian looked quite strong. The fourth level of initial enlightenment against two people from the first and second level of initial enlightenment joining hands, logically speaking, he should be able to firmly suppress them, with a 70% chance of winning.
The gap between the initial enlightenment stage and the other stage was quite big.
Even though Ming Chao and Chaohe were well-equipped, they were also cultivators from large sects. They were naturally fully equipped with magic tools and other things.
In terms of cultivation techniques, the two from the Lu family were not bad, but they had The Green Phoenix sword Scripture.
However, these two from the Lu clan were not ordinary initial enlightenment stage cultivators. Apart from these more basic things, the most important thing about Chaohe and mingchao was that they were different as cultivators. It was extremely difficult to find a second Void Spirit root in the cultivation world. It was also rare to see people in the initial enlightenment stage awakening divine arts.
It was because of these two points that Lu Qing was not worried that the two of them would be defeated.
In reality, Lu Qing was still a little dissatisfied with the performance of the two of them when the battle ended.
In his mind, the two of them shouldn’t have won easily, but they shouldn’t have had such a difficult fight. After the fight, the two of them looked exhausted and could not move at all.
Forget it, after all, the other side was not some random fish.
Let’s do this.
His gaze returned to the reward.
The reward of nearly 700 karma was normal. It was not a surprise anyway. It was a standard reward for a Tier 3 event.
However, the free three-star exchange option made him raise his eyebrows.
It didn’t show the word ‘rare’, but before this, he had never seen the’ enlightenment ‘exchange option.
As for the free part, it was quite good as he could save a lot of money.
However, he paid more attention to the so-called ‘enlightenment’ and what enlightenment he had gained.
3-star blessing Type: enlightenment ”
[after exchanging, it will greatly increase the comprehension of a cultivator in the family for the next five years. They will be able to have a deeper understanding of the cultivation technique and speed up their cultivation. If they encounter a special moment, they will have a better chance to grab a flash of inspiration and create new skills. [after any creative use, this exchange option will immediately lose its effect.]
Exchange Price: Free
……
If one only looked at the first half, it was a little similar to the [accelerated cultivation] option that could be obtained normally.
However, Lu Qing soon realized that the essence of the [accelerated cultivation] exchange option was to increase the speed and quality of a cultivator’s spiritual force. It was a rather brutal way of increasing the speed of cultivation. As for the increase in comprehension brought about by enlightenment, it was the so-called ‘deeper understanding of the cultivation technique’. This kind of accelerated cultivation would be closer to the essence, and the results would be slightly different.
In addition to the faster cultivation speed, the cultivator’s own Foundation would also be more solid. With the increase in his understanding of the cultivation method, the increase in his cultivation speed would not only be limited to the five years that the exchange option was in effect, but it would also last throughout the cultivator’s life-at least until he completely broke away from this level, it would definitely be useful.
Even without mentioning this, as one’s understanding of cultivation techniques deepened, one would be able to use the corresponding moves to become stronger.
The ‘creativity’ mentioned in the second half of the exchange tab’s description was also very important to Lu Qing.
In his understanding, this might be the effect of developing a certain cultivation technique or improving the quality of the cultivation technique.
After some thought, Lu Qing decided to give the exchange tab to Chao He.
Chaohe had just entered the initial enlightenment stage and had switched to a cultivation technique not long ago. The basic function of the exchange tab, enlightenment, could help him cultivate better. Moreover, he was a cultivator who had awakened a magical power. If he triggered the so-called ‘creativity’ and advanced the development of magical powers by a big step, he would be able to unleash the greatest effect of this exchange option.
Lu Qing recollected his thoughts and watched as the Zhang family began to discuss the subsequent compensation matters with the Wang and Bai families. He felt a little bored.
There was no need for him to stay any longer. He had an idea and ended the training mode. Then, he teleported back to Yuyan mountain.
His cultivation had reached a critical point.
Now that he had the inheritance, he completely understood what the ‘ancient rising star technique’ was all about. In his daily cultivation, he also felt the powerful cultivation effect when the sacred body of stars and the divine-grade cultivation method, the ‘ancient rising star technique’, were combined.
Coupled with the high-quality spirit Qi provided by the system to boost Lu Qing’s personal cultivation, he was growing at a rapid pace.
When he died, he was only a fifth-stage golden core cultivator. After he had been resurrected, especially after he had obtained the ability to cultivate, he had not relaxed his cultivation. In the past few years, he had advanced to the sixth-stage golden core realm.
However, after obtaining the ancient rising stars incantation and the sacred body of stars, he felt that his cultivation had improved in just three or four years.
?????,??????????
When he came out of seclusion, he should be able to enter the late-stage golden core realm and become a seventh-stage golden core cultivator.
The duration of his seclusion this time around would not be too long. According to Lu Qing’s own estimation, it would only take about one to two months.
……
After the four lives were paid off, the next thing to do was for both parties to agree on the compensation.
The Zhang family’s conditions were very harsh, but so what?
To the Wang and Bai families, this was just a little better than a family-extermination disaster.
There were a total of six foundation building cultivators in the two clans. Four of them had come, so only two could return. A total of 50 to 60 cultivators had come, and one-third of them had died.
The key was that the remaining captives were all in the hands of the Zhang clan. If they killed all of these people, it would be something that the Wang and Bai families would not be able to bear. In order to exchange for these lives, the two clans had to agree to any conditions.
As the representative of the Lu family, Lu xueting had been listening when the Zhang family discussed the compensation with the two families. At the same time, she would occasionally give some opinions based on the interests of the Lu family.
As for why she was the one who came to Xuanji and asked her to come …
The two initial enlightenment cultivators did not have the patience to listen to these things, but Wei Wen was younger and spent most of her time outside the Jin dynasty, so she did not know much about the family situation.
As for Lu xueting, she had always been in the family and was more aware of the family’s situation. The beast taming industry that she was in charge of was also a large source of income for the clan. At the same time, as the leader of the patrolmen’s property, she also had to handle some of the clan’s Affairs.
In that case, Lu xueting was indeed the most suitable candidate.
The others were not in a hurry to leave.
Mingchao went back very quickly, but Chaohe and the other three were still there.
They would stay here for a period of time until the Wang and Bai families “compensation was paid and the people were released before they left.
……
On the dark green Peak.
“Greetings, Grand Elder.”
Li Yanling’s expression didn’t change as she looked at Yun Xuan, who was acting all high and mighty, but didn’t show much respect. However, she sighed in her heart.
What was supposed to come would still come.
The Qingfeng sect already knew about the matter in Changhong County.
However, before they could do anything, something happened in the South of Dong Hai County.
The situation was not quite the same as the black seal stone mining incident in the South of Changhong. The Lin family of mu County in Donghai had taken the initiative to attack. They had a serious conflict with the Fang family of Zhongshan Prefecture in the South last year and had suffered a lot. This time, they had found someone to help them and went south to seek revenge.
Their revenge was a success. The Fang clan was a medium-sized clan, but they had a Clansman named Fang Siyu. When he was young, he joined the sect to cultivate. When he entered the country, he was already an initial enlightenment cultivator.
And this Fang Siyu had died in this incident.
This incident happened three days after the conflict at the southern border of Changhong. Relatively speaking, these two incidents should be considered isolated. But it happened at almost the same time, which meant the same thing-the conflict between the two sides had reached the point of truly intensifying.
The Alliance between the Lu clan and the hai clan and the conflict between them and the sect leader had already reached the point where an initial enlightenment cultivator would die. Would the full-scale civil war in the Feiyun state be far away?
Many, many years ago, after Zhao Zidan’s death, the tripartite balance of power in the sect was broken. The Lu clan rose again, and because of his marriage with the Lu clan, the Lu and hai families grew closer. This caused the situation in the sect to gradually develop into a confrontation between the two powers. at that time, Li Yanling had already sensed that the future of the sect would not be peaceful.
But he didn’t expect it to be so fast. In 18 years, he had already reached his current state.
She had been mentally prepared for Yun Xuan’s visit.
Condemn? It didn’t seem like it, but it was destined to not be a peaceful exchange.
“I’m here on the orders of my master to inform you and patriarch hai that the sect has decided to arrest the people of the anling Lu clan and the Donghai hai hai clan who killed junior brothers Zhao qinian and Fang Siyu. If the two families covered up, they would be seen as enemies of the sect. If you don’t hand over the murderer within a month, we will punish you!”
Hearing this, Li Yanling’s heart trembled, and then she became furious, ” “Why didn’t you discuss this with my master and me?”
After all, it had only been three or four days, and the sect leader’s faction had lost two initial enlightenment cultivators. They would definitely have some reaction. However, he did not expect it to be so intense.
“The sect leader believes that there is no need for discussion. Regardless of the reason, the Lu and hai families have killed our cultivators. This is unforgivable.”
Li Yanling stood up and said, ” “What if the Lu clan and the hai clan don’t hand over the person? I’m also from the Lu family, and my master is from the hai family. You also want to attack the two of us?”
“Master said that if the Lu and hai families refuse to hand over the person, and you claim to be a member of those two families, you will no longer be a disciple of the sect,” Yun Xuan said after a moment of silence.
Li Yanling was so angry that she laughed,”this matter can’t be decided by the sect leader alone ..”
“Do I need you two, whose hearts don’t belong to the sect, to make the decision?”
A voice came from outside.
at this moment, Li Yanling sensed that a powerful aura had appeared outside her cave.
Who else could it be but Daoist Kong Tong, who had just broken through to the ninth-stage golden core realm?
The alarm in Li Yanling’s heart went off, and she immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
“Why did I only notice it when we were so close?” A sense of fear rose up in him.
Li Yanling, who had just broken through to the Golden core stage a few years ago, didn’t want to die at all.
And yet, this martial uncle Kong Tong really did have the ability to kill her in an instant.
the other party had already silently arrived at this distance, so how could Li Yanling not panic? This was an act of hostility.
But then, she forced herself to calm down.
If Kong Tong had the intention to kill her, she could not think of any way to survive. If he really wanted to kill her, why did he have to say anything? He just had to make a move.
Although Kong Tong’s words sounded very fierce, since they had not made a move yet, there was still room for negotiation.
Li Yanling stood up and cupped her hands in greeting.
Daoist Kong Tong strode in.
“Martial nephew Yan Ling, let me ask you, are you a cultivator of the sect or a member of the Lu family?”
A ninth-stage golden core realm cultivator holding a sword felt that it was too difficult to ask Wufu Li Yanling this question.
But it was obvious that she didn’t need to bear this pressure alone.
Another voice came from outside the door,”senior brother Kong Tong, Yan Ling is a cultivator of the sect and a member of the Lu family.” I’m the same. I’m a cultivator of the sect, but I’m also a member of the hai family. The sect has never had a rule that after entering the sect, one must cut off all ties with the mortal world. Senior brother’s words are a bit too much.”
hearing her master’s voice, the pressure on Li Yanling’s heart immediately disappeared.
It’s alright, Yingluo.
Kong Tong turned around and said,”then I’ll just ask you this. Your Lu clan and hai clan killed my sect’s disciples. How are you going to settle this?” You’re both from the Lu clan and the hai clan, and you’re also disciples of the sect. Tell me. ”
Yun Xuan, who was at the side, also spoke up at the right time,”Right now, the sect is in an uproar. How many years had it been since a clan cultivator from the Feiyun state had killed a sect disciple? Yingying was also from the Lu family.”
“Isn’t there a reason for that?” Hai Sande said, ” let’s talk about the last time. Zhao Zidan attacked someone’s sect and wanted to destroy their family. The sect did not allow him to do this. The Lu family is still a part of the sect. Why can’t lu Qing protect himself? As far as I know, this time, regarding the matter of anling, it was Zhao qinian who had interfered in the struggle between the families under him, or was it the Wang and Bai families who took the initiative to attack? Last year, the Fang family annihilated two vassal families of the hai family of Donghai, and their revenge is also directed at the Fang family. If Fang Siyu wants to interfere, then it’s a matter of fair and square battle, hehe.”
After saying so much, Kong Tong became more and more impatient.”Enough! Junior Brother hai, you’ve really disappointed me! All these years, I shouldn’t have indulged you all, turning the sect into this state step by step! Tomorrow, I’ll send the ultimatum to the Lu and hai families. I don’t want to fight with you, but if it really comes to that, I won’t hold back!”
Hai Sande’s smile was gone, and his face was ashen.

I’m so busy today, Yingluo
