“Master, although the white-robed man has been killed by your disciple, he has an even more powerful companion who may return at any time, so we must not be careless.”
Although Lu Qing felt a surge of murderous intent, he forcibly suppressed it.
"That's right, this white-robed man should be one of the two mysterious experts who appeared in Zhongzhou not long ago."
Besides the man in white robes, there was also a man wearing a mysterious gray robe.
According to our Tianji Tower's intelligence, the white-robed man addressed the gray-robed man as "Senior Brother," and his expression was quite respectful.
Lin Zhirui then spoke up.
The others immediately understood.
In the cultivation world, strength has always been revered.
Since the gray-robed man was the white-robed man's senior brother and was respected by him...
It was obvious that the gray-robed man's cultivation level was far more terrifying than that of the white-robed man.
The aura the white-robed man had previously displayed was already terrifying enough.
Just how strong must that gray-robed man be?
Suddenly, everyone's thoughts became heavy again, and they all involuntarily looked at Lu Qing.
Lu Qing pondered for a moment: "Master, no matter what, all we can do right now is to deal with whatever comes our way."
I gained some insights during the battle just now, and I'm afraid I'll have to go into seclusion for a while.
Next, I'll have to trouble you, Master, to maintain the village's protective formation.
Without hesitation, the old doctor immediately said, "Alright, Aqing, just do as you see fit."
"Indeed, young master Lu, your cultivation is the most important thing!"
Upon hearing this, everyone else perked up.
If Lu Qing makes another breakthrough, then it won't be impossible for him to withstand the gray-robed man.
Lu Qing nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and took out a piece of scale armor from the Li Huo Cauldron.
"Oh right, there's also this armor. Master, you should refine it first. It should make controlling the formation much easier."
Indeed, the armor was the same one the white-robed youth had been wearing earlier.
This armor is extremely magical; it is a top-grade defensive magic weapon.
The fact that it could still block Lu Qing's blade even when Lu Qing used his supernatural powers shows just how strong its defensive capabilities are.
Moreover, its material is quite unique and possesses self-healing capabilities.
The cracks that had been created by Lu Qing's sword disappeared completely in just a short while.
Thinking that his master didn't have any defensive magic artifacts, Lu Qing simply gave them away.
He possessed several magical artifacts and a high-grade magic treasure, but these were not that important to him.
On the contrary, if Master refines this treasure armor, his strength will definitely increase greatly and rise to a higher level.
"This precious armor..."
The old doctor took the scale armor and felt the power within it, and his whole body trembled immediately.
Before he could say anything, Lu Qing had already taken to the air and headed home, quickly entering the house and disappearing from sight.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed again, Lu Qing began to ponder the gains and losses of this battle.
The battle with the white-robed youth, though seemingly dangerous, did not actually cause him any real harm.
After all, he had too many trump cards up his sleeve, plus he was both prepared and unprepared.
Although his opponent's cultivation level was several levels higher than his, he still managed to ambush him.
It can be said that the young man in the white robe died a rather unjust death.
As a Golden Core cultivator, he still had many tricks up his sleeve, but he was caught off guard by his momentary carelessness and killed on the spot.
But that's how life-or-death battles between cultivators work; one wrong step leads to another.
Sometimes a small mistake can lead to one's downfall, and a thousand years of cultivation can be lost in a single day.
I must take this as a lesson °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° in the future, and never underestimate my enemies just because I have improved my cultivation, lest I be caught off guard and suffer a crushing defeat, resulting in my death and the dissipation of my cultivation.
After reflecting on his thoughts for a while, Lu Qing began to clear his mind, calm his emotions, and enter a state of cultivation.
The arrival of the white-robed youth interrupted his cultivation.
But after being tempered by this battle, the speed at which he refined his soul and body also increased significantly.
Indeed, sometimes real-world experience and pressure are the best tests of a person.
And so, Lu Qing remained in seclusion, cultivating, for he did not know when the mysterious gray-robed man would arrive.
In order to seize every second and devote himself entirely to cultivation, 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 glint of light flashed in them.
An aura of perfect perfection and profound mystery emanated from him.
"Finally, the physical body, the spirit, and all the vital energy have been polished to perfection."
Lu Qing felt his own condition; his physical body and soul were completely integrated, in perfect harmony, without the slightest conflict.
The spiritual energy in his dantian was incredibly abundant and had reached its limit of purity, a level that even the Five Elements Gourd could no longer refine.
All their spirit and energy have been honed to their peak.
There was not a single flaw on his body, inside or out.
A sudden realization dawned on Lu Qing's mind.
At this point, he had cultivated the Foundation Establishment Realm to its most perfect and peak state, with no possibility of further advancement.
If you want to continue to become stronger, there is only one path.
That is to break through the limits and reach a completely new level!
Then let's break through.
Without hesitation, Lu Qing deactivated the array in the house and soared into the sky, flying deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains behind the house.
“Master, I am about to undergo a tribulation and break through to the next level. I will be relying on you to take care of the village for the time being.”
The old doctor, who was also sitting cross-legged in a small courtyard halfway up the mountain to cultivate, was taken aback when he heard this voice transmission. Then, he showed a look of surprise and delight.
Breakthrough through tribulation!
Is Aqing about to enter the Golden Core Realm?
The old doctor now has a considerable understanding of the path to immortality.
He knew that at his and Lu Qing's level, the only realm that required transcending tribulations to break through was that one.
Golden Core Realm!
Legend has it that one can transform into a powerful being with magical power, capable of flying and escaping the earth without the aid of magical treasures, relying solely on one's own cultivation!
However, after the initial surprise, worry resurfaced in the old doctor's eyes.
The Golden Core Realm is indeed incredibly powerful, but similarly, the Golden Core Tribulation is not so easy to overcome.
According to the records in the book that Lu Qing gave him, the deeper one's Foundation Establishment realm is, the more terrifying the Golden Core tribulation one will face when breaking through.
With Lu Qing's accumulated experience, his Golden Core tribulation will likely be extremely terrifying, far exceeding ordinary heavenly tribulations!
But now, the old doctor also knows that he can't help Lu Qing much.
All we can do is pray for him and believe that he can successfully overcome this tribulation and break through to the next level.
The old doctor composed himself and continued his cultivation.
This invasion by the white-robed man also greatly stimulated him.
Faced with a formidable enemy, Lu Qing had to fight desperately on his own, and he couldn't offer any help whatsoever.
He was a terrible mentor.
He didn't want to go through that again.
Lu Qing sped along the way, and after entering the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains, he began to select a place to undergo his tribulation.
After some deliberation, I finally set my sights on a massive mountain peak.
"This is the place."
