Chapter Seventy-Eight: See the Poor Dagger
Seeing this scene, the people who were close to Lu Yuankong in the past couldn't help but quietly look at Lu Xingzhi with a look of daunting.
Lu Xingzhi took everyone's faces into his eyes, and he couldn't see his joy and anger, he glanced at Lu Huaifang calmly, Lu Huaifang nodded slightly, and left with his fists clenched.
Many people noticed this, and their hearts couldn't help but become more and more nervous, and for a while, no one moved.
Lu Xingzhi said lightly: "Didn't you hear Elder Taishang's words? β
After finishing speaking, Lu Xingzhi took the lead in turning around and leaving, and when he passed by Lu Qiming, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Handle your own business." β
The crowd dispersed;
Lin Youzhi and Qin Yuerong's sister and brother walked together, and under the cover of the wide cuffs, she held three small paper scrolls of different colors in her palms. She thought about the details of today's events again and again, and had a plan in her heart.
Lin Youzhi gently pulled Qin Yuerong's hand and handed her the purple paper roll silently.
......
In the infinite sky, beyond the reach of people's eyes, a cloaked figure walked back and forth on the clouds, talking to himself.
"Why?"
He shook his head again and again in a puzzled manner: "How can his spiritual power be Da Zhou Tian? What went wrong?"
"Unless he has broken through the Great Zhou Tian before, and later his cultivation has fallen......"
"Yes, it must be!" the cloaked man nodded again, his tone determined.
"But......," the cloaked man laughed merrily, "he really doesn't know anything, doesn't remember anything!"
He shook his head and said in a brisk tone: "Bad luck, really bad!"
And the next moment, his voice suddenly became cold, "Lu Yuankong is really a fool! I gave him such good conditions, but he still can't kill him!"
He was silent for a moment, and then suddenly smiled smugly: "It should be like this...... How can you compare with me, a mere mortal?"
"It's a pity that the man is coming soon, and there is not enough time. The cloaked man sighed sincerely, "It's a pity to still use this rude method......
He looked down and smiled, "One more ...... Who are you going to choose?"
......
Lu Qiming returned to the courtyard alone, walked straight to the attic, and entered the underground quiet room.
He quickly closed the stone door with a flick of his hand, a trace of pain flashing between his brows, and then he was pressed down in an instant, and he tried to calm his breath and sat down cross-legged.
The attack strength of the Jingyi Pavilion Formation had almost reached the peak of Xiao Zhou Tian before, but fortunately, he was still supported by the residual medicinal power of the Tiancheng Treasure Pill, so no one could see that he was extremely seriously injured. If he showed cowardice at that time, once it developed to the worst situation, with his current state, I am afraid that he would only be able to tie his hands and catch him.
Lu Qiming's eyes were slightly closed, running the elixir of life, pranayama and healing.
However, before it had been running for a whole day, Lu Qiming's face suddenly changed, his throat was sweet, and he spurted blood straight out of his mouth!
He withdrew his hand, and his heart sank - when had his body's rejection of the immortal formula reached this point?!
Lu Qiming knew that the pacification was only temporary, and if he couldn't find the real reason for his rejection by the formation, this matter would not be over; in this case, he had to maintain sufficient self-protection ability at all times, but now, he couldn't use the exercises to heal his injuries......
Actually, it's not like there's no other way.
Lu Qiming's heart moved, and a jade bottle appeared in his palm, which contained one of the pills that Lu Qiming had refined according to the Danfang.
This elixir was really the right thing, and it could completely solve this urgent need, and it was obvious that his situation at this time was also foreseen by the black shadow. Lu Qiming couldn't help frowning, even so, why did he have to give him Danfang medicinal materials so much trouble? Wouldn't it be good to tell him what was going to happen directly?
That's it, the biggest reason for Lu Qiming's hesitation is that as long as this pill is taken it, it will immediately be as if he has not been injured, but this effect can only last for three days at most, and the backlash after three days will never be better.
And in three days, is it possible to solve everything?
Lu Qiming thought about the usefulness of the other pills, frowned deeper, shook his head and thought-what does the black shadow want to do, and what can't he say directly?
He sighed lightly, took out the elixir and took it, and in just a few breaths, his pale face became rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the feeling of stagnation in his chest quickly dissipated, as refreshed and comfortable as when he first woke up in the morning.
And Lu Qiming felt happy in his heart, so he only smiled bitterly. He didn't delay any longer, and directly took out the "Ten Drops" appliance from the green jade pendant - a clever poison technique may deceive people's perception, but it cannot deceive pharmacology.
Lu Qiming cut between his fingers, dripped blood into the glass tube, and began to test whether there were any drug ingredients beyond his control.
This test does not have a set goal and is carried out in the most conventional way. Lu Qiming had already been extremely proficient in the countless changes, and countless possible medicinal materials were being ruled out at a rapid pace.
Lu Qiming's speed was so fast, but after the tea time passed, all the different processes were tried, but nothing was found - except for the detection of the Tiancheng Bao Dan and the pill he had just taken, he did not find anything abnormal at all.
Looking down at the glass pipe, Lu Qiming stopped. He suddenly thought about the possibility that he had never considered - what if what Lu Yuankong said was true?
It's not that he's credulous and undetermined, he's had a lot of abnormalities lately, and when his own tests are pointing in the same direction, he can't help but think about it too much.
After a moment of silence, Lu Qiming couldn't help but laugh at himself, and secretly teased himself: "When did you learn the appearance of 'mediocrity disturbing yourself'?"
He shook his head and smiled, and looked at the ninety-nine bottles againβthe usual procedures had indeed been tried, but only ninety-four had been used in total, and there were five that were extremely infrequently used.
Always try it out.
Lu Qiming went through the relevant herbal knowledge in his heart, took some of the bottles of medicinal liquid, and dripped them into the glass tube-
Mutation protrusion!
The fire element force in the air instantly gathered on its own, and the flames exploded, directly blasting the glass pipe open!
This little impact naturally didn't hurt Lu Qiming, but it made him completely stunned - because there was no herb at all that would react like this with it.
And not because of the herbs.
Lu Qiming glanced at the label on the bottle that recorded the ingredients - "Sycamore Branch".
A little flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and countless long-ago and new clues quickly surged in his heart, as if something was about to break out of the window, but it was always a little short.
Then he suddenly looked up, and someone was coming outside.
......
In the Dafang Garden, there was a figure wearing a cloak.
In the middle of the day, his cloak grew darker, so black that it almost drained the light around him.
He walked brightly on the spacious staircase, humming a little tune past the tall guards who stood one by one, but no one could perceive his presence.
The cloaked man looked up at the high Dafang Hall and chuckled, "It would be interesting if your own grandfather thought you were a fake." β
After laughing for a while, he said coldly: "Don't blame me. When you die, there will be time. After speaking, his figure flickered, and he crossed a long distance in an instant, and when he stood still, he was already in Lu Xingzhi's study.
Lu Xingzhi was suddenly alert, but when he looked up, he met a pair of bottomless eyes;
He heard an ethereal voice echoing in his heart: "Now this Lu Qiming in the Lu Mansion is fake. β
Lu Xingzhi frowned and repeated: "This Lu Qiming of the Lu Mansion is now ...... Is it fake?"
The cloaked man raised his eyebrows and continued to say patiently, "He's a fake. Now that you've seen his true colors, you're about to do harm to your family. β
Lu Xingzhi didn't speak, the look in his eyes was clear and cloudy, as if there were two wills fighting fiercely.
The cloaked man let out a light "huh", hesitated slightly, increased the coercion of his spiritual power, and emphasized: "You need to order him to be killed immediately!"
"Kill him......" There was a blank space in Lu Xing's mind for a moment; then, he suddenly felt a strange power descend on his body, and Zhihai regained his clarity at the same time; his eyes were sharp, and the word "enemy attack" was about to shout out.
The cloaked man quickly knocked Lu Xingzhi unconscious, took two steps angrily, and said gloomily: "This main family is just a little Zhoutian, and it can share so much of the Lu family's luck protection...... Huh, luck, if it weren't for me...... No amount of luck you have!"
"Forget it, settle for the next best. The cloaked man sighed and reached out to flick the top of Lu Xingzhi's head, "As for you, forget about it." β
......
In the room, Lu Xuantong waved his hand to let Lu Yuankong withdraw, and sat alone in contemplation.
After a while, he was suddenly stunned, shook his head and laughed, and laughed at himself: "The old problem hasn't changed!"
Lu Xuantong thought of the matter of Jingyi Pavilion just now. After all, he was an elder, and he shouldn't have interfered too much in specific things, and at that time, he was in a hurry, and suddenly he seemed to have returned to the time when he was the head of his own family.
The martial arts family, after all, respects cultivation - the order of the Supreme Elder is given priority over the head of the family. However, this is mainly to prevent the head of the family from making serious mistakes, and in normal times, as long as it is not a major matter related to the survival of the family, the Supreme Elder will not interfere with the actions of the head of the family by default.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuantong had already decided that he would go back to the back mountain after giving Lu Xingzhi a message; although this matter had a great impact, it was just a trivial matter when looking at the entire family. What is he, a Supreme Elder, standing here all the time?
At that moment, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Lu Xuantong didn't think much about it, he heard the prestige, and he was stunned for a moment--it was the window!
This is the fourth floor.
Lu Xuantong's spiritual power swept over, and he was shocked in his heart-he couldn't judge the other party's cultivation realm!
The window creaked open, and a cloaked figure floated up and down in the air outside.
Lu Xuantong got up slowly and said coldly, "What does Your Excellency mean?"
The cloaked man swayed into the room and laughed, "Just wanted you to get to know me." β
Lu Xuantong suddenly felt that something was not quite right, and the suspicion in his eyes grew.
The cloaked man approached him, stretched out a long, white and slender hand, and delicately removed the cloak.
"You?!" Lu Xuantong was so shocked that he almost reached out to grab him, and when his mind shook, Lu Xuantong only felt that his knowledge of the sea was fluttering, and his eyes were out of focus for a moment.
The cloaked man laughed with satisfaction.
