Volume 1 Clouds Rise Chapter 21 The Empty City
The Three Turns True Water is not a spiritual material that directly acts on cultivation, but its role is more reflected in laying a solid foundation for the martial artist, washing the root bones, and thus raising the upper limit of the martial artist.
But Qin Lu's own qualifications are already amazing enough, coupled with the nourishment of purple true qi, even if it is three turns of true water, it is difficult to further raise Qin Lu's upper limit, and he can only transform the excess spiritual power into cultivation.
It can be said that Qin Lu's breakthrough this time is completely natural.
Just as Qin Lu was about to test his current strength, a knock suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Young master, the things you ordered have been dealt with."
Qin Lu opened the door, and a family member hurriedly stepped forward and bent down to hand over a ring.
"These are all resources scavenged from the three major families, and in addition, there are also things about Qin Shuang......"
Qin Lu took the ring and did not check it, but motioned to Jia Ding to continue.
"Qin Shuang hasn't been back to Pancheng since he left, and when we were searching the Zhou family, we found a strange thing. The Zhou family's stand-in technique has always been only qualified to be cultivated by the descendants of the Zhou family, this is because that stand-in technique is very special, and the cultivator himself needs to have the blood of the Zhou family to successfully cultivate, but Qin Shuang is not a member of the Zhou family, but he has mastered this stand-in technique, which is really incomprehensible. ”
"Also, according to our investigation, the extension of the stand-in technique is divided into several parts, and it is controlled by several elders, and it is impossible for anyone to get a complete stand-in technique without the consent of everyone, for this reason, we specifically asked those elders of the Zhou family, but they said that they never handed over the rubbing."
After listening to Jia Ding's explanation, Qin Lu's eyes were deep, staring at the other party, and he said slowly: "This matter must not be leaked, understand?" ”
The family suddenly felt a chill behind his back, and hurriedly promised, Qin Lu then retracted his gaze, gave him some resources, and let the other party leave.
After returning to the room, Qin Lu fell into deep thought.
"So, Qin Shuang either used some weird method to get all the rubbings, or the stand-in technique she used that day was actually not the Zhou family's one at all, it was just a similar shape......"
No matter which one is the truth, it can show that Qin Shuang is not simple.
Thinking of this, Qin Lu's speculation that had arisen when he was on the ancient road before also swelled more and more.
He suspected that Qin Shuang was no longer the Qin Shuang he knew, but was controlled by a certain being!
Perhaps only in this way can Qin Shuang's sudden change in temperament and all kinds of abnormalities be explained.
"I'll find out the truth when I say goodbye."
Qin Lu muttered to himself.
Subsequently, Qin Lu looked at the ring, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The wealth of the three major families is really not covered, roughly calculated, there are at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins, nearly 10,000 low-grade fine jade, and as many as 800 medium-grade fine jade.
In addition, all kinds of precious spiritual materials and high-level spiritual weapons made Qin Lu's breathing become rapid.
"Xuanyi Knife Technique?"
Suddenly, Qin Lu's eyes froze, and he took out a jade slip from the resources belonging to the Liu family and studied it carefully.
After a long time, Qin Lu learned that there were six styles of this Xuanyi Sword Technique, and the one in his hand was the first of them, the Empty City.
This is a crippled martial art, but Qin Lu has set off an uproar in his heart, according to Yu Jian's description, even if it is just this first form, it also has the ability to shock the world.
A knife empty city!
It's a pity that due to the incomplete martial arts, Qin Lu can't know the specific level of its rank, but it is only the power described in this first formula, Qin Lu judged that this is at least a high-grade martial art.
Even, it is very possible to reach the ground level!
"It's a pity that this martial art is flawed, not only does it require extremely talented people, but every time it is used, it will lose a certain amount of longevity, and only when you cultivate to the third form will there be no restrictions."
Looking at the jade slip in his hand, Qin Lu fell into hesitation.
I think that the reason why no one in the Liu family cultivates this martial art is the reason why Shouyuan is lost.
What's more, the world is so big, who knows where the other moves of the Xuanyi Sword Method are?
But it is undeniable that this Xuanyi knife method is indeed unique.
"Practice first, as for whether you want to use it or not, it depends on the situation."
In the end, Qin Lu made up his mind that at this stage, he lacked the martial arts to kill with one blow, although this Xuanyi Sword Technique had a flaw that was fatal, it was what Qin Lu needed.
So, Qin Lu began to cultivate the Xuanyi Sword Technique, I have to say that this martial art is very difficult, around Qin Lu's own talent, but also took some detours.
As the sun set, before night completely fell, Qin Lu finally succeeded in cultivating the first form of the Xuanyi Sword Technique.
He turned into a knife in his right hand and hung it in the void, and suddenly there was a vast momentum surging from it, Qin Lu's pupils shrank, he could feel it, if this knife really fell, it would definitely be a shock.
But immediately after, Qin Lu withdrew his hand, and everything returned to calm.
"This trick can only be used between life and death, otherwise, it will only be a waste of longevity."
Soon after, Qin Lu left the room and found Yuhan and handed over a ring to the other party.
"Mother, there is the wealth accumulated by the three major families over the years, you can collect it for the time being, and when Grandpa's retreat is over, you can plan well, with these resources, the strength of the Qin family will definitely skyrocket in a short period of time."
Last night, Qin Zhan'an was nourished by purple true qi, although the injuries in his body were suppressed, he still needed some time to stabilize himself, and the only person Qin Lu could trust now was his mother.
Hearing Qin Lu's words, Yuhan hurriedly said: "You are the future of our Qin family, and almost all the credit for this victory is yours, and these resources should be held by you." ”
Qin Lu shook his head, "I've already taken some, I'm enough for one person." Now that the three major families have all been defeated, and even the city lord is dead, Pancheng will definitely be in chaos next, I am leaving, and the Qin family needs someone else to stand up. ”
Yuhan wanted to speak and stopped, but when she saw Qin Lu's firm gaze, she finally nodded.
"Lu'er, are you leaving?"
"Yes, it's the freshman trial in two days, and I have to leave tonight."
Yuhan's eyes showed a deep reluctance, she had only seen her son for a long time, but she didn't expect to be separated so soon.
Qin Lu didn't feel good in his heart, in fact, his feelings for the Qin family were not as strong as before, and his nostalgia for the Qin family was only his mother and grandfather.
"Pay attention to safety, put your own life first in everything."
Yuhan said softly.
Even if there is reluctance, in the end, it can only be gathered into such a short sentence.
Qin Lu suddenly had a sour nose, so he had to nod heavily.
"By the way, mother, there is one thing you need to pay attention to."
Qin Lu remembered something and said: "Chen Jie is dead, although it will not make the dynasty guilty, but it shouldn't be long before the dynasty will send a new city lord to take over, and the new city lord will be kind to my Qin family, if not, you can send a message to me, and I will rush back as soon as possible." ”
Next, Qin Lu said a few more words to Yuhan, which caused Yuhan to sigh for a while, the child who used to only follow behind his buttocks has now grown into a family's support.
In the end, Qin Lu reluctantly closed the door and turned to leave.
He saw Xue Xiaoxiao on the street outside Qin's house, the girl was wearing a long black dress, which was different from her usual fairy-like temperament, she was more like a mature and intellectual woman at this time, with a slender figure, delicate appearance, quiet and gentle, adding a touch of beauty to this silent night.
He stepped forward and handed over a ring.
Seeing this, Xue Xiaoxiao was about to refuse, but Qin Lu had already forcibly stuffed the ring into her hand and held it tightly.
"If it weren't for your help to block Zhang Siyuan, this battle would not have been won so smoothly, and there was no need to shirk."
Hearing this, Xue Xiaoxiao no longer insisted and accepted the ring.
There was a brilliant flow in her beautiful eyes, and there was a faint temperature on the ring given by Qin Lu, which made her heart sway.
"Brother Qin, do you think Zhang Siyuan will stop us on the way?"
Xue Xiaoxiao asked.
Qin Lu nodded, "Definitely, this is his best time, otherwise, when we enter the Yunqi Sect, it will be difficult for him to start, next, we must remember to be careful." ”
Although he said so, Qin Lu's mood was actually not easy.
It is known that there are two Hidden Realm Ninefold Martial Artists on Zhang Siyuan's side, plus one Zhang Siyuan who has fallen into the realm, the pressure they have to face can be described as terrifying.
In fact, it was precisely because of this that Qin Lu chose to set off at night, taking advantage of the darkness to cover his figure.
In a short time, the two of them had already left Pancheng.
In order to avoid risks, Qin Lu did not choose the best route, but entered a mountain road.
"Hey......
Suddenly, Qin Lu heard a wicked laugh not far away, his eyes froze, and he made eye contact with Xue Xiaoxiao, and the two of them hid their figures, walked in the forest, and approached forward.
"Please, spare me......"
A woman dressed in sackcloth with a beautiful face was surrounded by several big men with a frightened face, while the big men were smiling with a sinister smile and a lustful light flashing in their eyes.
"Brothers, you haven't opened meat for a long time, right? No, the little lady who sent it to the door. ”
A large man armed with a thick knife ripped off the clothes on his chest as he walked towards the woman.
"Everyone, wait for me to taste it first!"
After saying that, the big man rushed over like a hungry wolf.
The woman screamed in terror, but the excitement of the people around her increased.
She struggled, punched and kicked, but how could she be a match for a big man? It didn't take long for most of the woman's clothes to be torn open, revealing delicate and fair skin.
"Who's going to save me......"
The woman's screams resounded in this deserted mountain road, heart-rending and quite terrifying.
Xue Xiaoxiao, who had been paying attention, clenched her silver teeth, and her chest rose and fell in anger, "This group of scum! ”
She was about to make a move, but was stopped by Qin Lu.
"Brother Qin!"
Xue Xiaoxiao said eagerly.
But Qin Lu's gaze was extremely calm.
"In the middle of the night, whose woman would go out alone? Not to mention whether she has anything important, there is a more open and safe avenue outside, why did she come here? Don't you think it's a problem? ”
Being reminded by Qin Lu like this, Xue Xiaoxiao also realized that something was wrong, her face softened a little, but she was soon attracted by the woman's terrible scream.
I saw that the sackclothed woman's clothes had been torn open, and two big men kept squirming on them......
Xue Xiaoxiao's body instantly erupted with a strong killing intent.
She looked at Qin Lu and did not speak, and the latter's gaze was still unwavering.
"What if it's a meter?"
"Even if it's a plan, I want to help her, otherwise I won't be at ease."
"Then go, but you can't go."
After speaking, before Xue Xiaoxiao could respond, Qin Lu's figure turned into an afterimage and disappeared.
