Divine Thunder Evil Immortal

  Thinking of this, Lu Chen hurriedly waved away the complicated emotions in his heart and pretended to be impatient, waving his hand and saying: "Let's go, let's go, I want to rest for a while."

  Zuo Qing's heart was slightly disappointed, and she couldn't understand what was wrong with herself. Especially as she grew older, her feelings for Lu Chen began to undergo subtle changes. She couldn't explain it clearly, but she knew she liked being with her brother a lot, and whenever she heard that he had a special closeness to beautiful women, she would feel a little sulky.

  Anyway, Lu Chen finally agreed to go with her to the trial, thinking that she could spend more time with her brother, and Xiao Yu was overjoyed. Especially when she turned around to leave the mountain, and heard Lu Chen's slightly emotional sigh from behind, a kind of unprecedented happiness slowly rose up in her heart.

  "You've grown up, you're a big girl now."

  Just this sentence is enough. The little girl, with a smile on her face, stepped down the winding peak with a light and nimble lotus step.

  Zuo Qinghuan left, Lu Chen returned to the house and sat quietly for a while. With the emotions of his youth stirring again, he couldn't sit comfortably no matter how hard he tried. His mind was restless and wandering, and after having seen an exquisite painting of a beauty bathing in the warm sunlight yesterday, Lu Chen had even less intention of cultivating now. Giving up reluctantly, he began to tidy up the Qiankun bag instead.

  "Over 40 fire talismans, demon-suppressing talismans, immobilizing talismans, and Vajra talismans, as well as a considerable amount of yellow paper and cinnabar. It's enough to refine a few more talismans for future use. As for the spiritual stones, they're all gone; we'll have to wait until Master returns. Looking at the cultivation situation, if it doesn't work out, I can always ask Eldest Senior Brother Zhang for help. After all, he's also a master of this school, and these things are still obtainable with some effort."

  Muttering to himself nonstop, thinking about going out for a trial run, he figures he'll inevitably have to go into some caves and mountain valleys, so he can't do without fire starters and prepares a few. He doesn't have any weapons either, so he readies two wooden sticks. Not having anything to eat won't do, this time when he goes out he has to prepare some salt, pepper, and seasonings. Who knows, if he's lucky enough to hunt down a wild rabbit or something, he can have a filling meal. Heh heh...

  Anyway, with the Qiankun bag, Lu Chen thought of everything he could think of and even made a trip to the kitchen. Taking advantage of the fact that the chef Shixiong and Shishu were not paying attention, he took some of each dish. Finally, he returned to the Bamboo Forest Hut with a satisfied heart.

  After returning, perhaps it was the timid heart that was playing tricks on him. Lu Chen couldn't shake off the feeling that something was going to happen on this trip. After tossing and turning for a long time, he finally decided to go find Yu Yang once: "It's always better to be prepared."

  The afterglow of the sunset faded as the sun dipped below the western mountains, gradually disappearing into the clouds and mist. Night descended upon the land, and a crescent moon quietly ascended to the high sky, accompanied by countless stars, bringing an otherworldly serenity and tranquility to the desolate darkness. The wind on the mountain ridge grew stronger, rustling the leaves of the bamboo forest. Under the faint moonlight, a figure stealthily climbed up the main peak of Qianyu Gate, its body as agile as a spirit cat, swiftly dashing towards the residence of Zhu Yang Zhenren...

  "Seriously..."

  Under the moonlight, a crescent moonbeam pierced through the window lattice and spilled into the room of Zhu Yang Zhenren. A faint scent of sandalwood wafted from the incense burner on the table inside the house, vaguely spreading throughout the room, and under the dim yellow lamp light, it seemed especially mysterious and peaceful.

  A sound came over, and Yu Yang Zhen Ren slightly opened his eyes, as if he was thinking of something.

  After a while, Yu Yang Zhen Ren said: "Alright, Master is not on the mountain now, and your junior brother has been cultivating for a long time. His various Dao techniques have also improved somewhat. Going out to see the world isn't bad either. Perhaps this trip will allow his cultivation to advance even further. Actually, Junior Brother doesn't need to specially notify our sect... Your actions are already approved by Master..."

  On another futon, Lu Chenyuan would not sit cross-legged like Yu Yangzhenren, his eyes twinkling as he looked at Yu Yangzhenren and chuckled: "Heh heh, Brother will agree, actually I'm also afraid that the old master won't be happy, so I came to inform you, after all, you're the leader of a sect, as a disciple of Qianyudong going down the mountain, how can we not report to the leader? This is my respect for brother."

  Lu Chen said, very seriously hugging his fist.

  Yu Yang Zhen Ren awkwardly smiled, but it was impossible to see that he was showing respect for himself. He thought: "Is this how you show respect for me? You're actually afraid of Master coming back and blaming you, so you want me to take the fall for you..."

  Thinking of returning like this, Yu Yang would naturally not say so. As for Lu Chen, this junior brother, Yu Yang indeed had no way to deal with him, who made the master this "old man" valued?

  "Alas... Old Master, probably only you in the entire Qianyu Gate dare to address him with such familiarity."

  Yu Yang Zhen Ren sighed and shook his head, his eyes scanning Lu Chen, who was smiling obsequiously without any intention of leaving. Yu Yang Zhen Ren couldn't help but wonder: "Younger brother... is there something else?"

  "Hmm...cough, cough..." Lu Chen pretended to be troubled and coughed twice, his expression suddenly turning gloomy. He said anxiously: "Alas, I won't hide it from you, Brother. Lately, I've been feeling the approach of the fifth layer of Qi cultivation, but I just can't break through...so..."

  Lu Chen said, pretending to sigh and stopped talking.

  "Oh..."

  Yu Yang Zhen Ren suddenly enlightened, thinking: "Master is indeed wise, Master's younger brother looks like a playboy, but actually has always been studying so diligently, even at midnight still thinking about cultivation, what a talent, ah."

  Yu Yang Zhen Ren secretly admired in his heart and said: "Junior brother may try to cultivate, this teaching is worth experiencing."

  "Whatever." As he turned over and sat up, Lu Chen was already properly seated on the cushion, crossing his legs to meditate...

  Breathing in and out, the flow of air was slow and gentle, and the true yuan's power rose with it. Ripples appeared on Lu Chen's body, which seemed light and difficult to detect, but actually contained a thick power within. If it were a foundation-building cultivator, it would be hard to see anything, but as Yu Yang Zhen Ren was Lu Chen's master and a high-ranking golden elixir cultivator, he discovered the secret in an instant.

  "What's the Great Expansion of Immortal Secrets?" Yu Yang Zhen Ren was shocked in his heart, and immediately hurriedly retracted that shocked expression. Fortunately, Lu Chen had been closing his eyes all along and didn't notice.

  "Ah, so Master taught this to Lu Chen after all... No wonder..."

  This was the first time Yu Yang had ever shown such an expression, and he finally understood why Dust had always placed so much importance on a child with ordinary talent.

  "Taiyuan Xian Jue... is actually this extremely difficult to cultivate supreme treasure, so that's how it was..."

  Yu Yang Zhen Ren's heart was already clear, and in an instant, his view of Lu Chen rose to another level, no longer doubting or even underestimating him...

  Lu Chen put away his skills, and with a look of doubt and worry in his eyes, he stared at Yu Yang. Yu Yang let out a bitter laugh and said: "The skill you've learned is indeed extraordinary, even our sect can't figure it out. It seems we'll have to wait for Master's return before we can enlighten you."

  Lu Chen didn't expect Yu Yang to make any sense, and seeing his apologetic expression, he smiled eerily and said with concern: "Alas... Brother Shi, I'm not afraid of anything else, but this time when we go out, what if we encounter some danger, I'm afraid it will bring shame to the Qian Yu Men, or even to our Shifu..."

  "Huh?" Yu Yang was taken aback, but then thought for a moment and suddenly realized: "Damn it, this kid isn't here to ask for advice, he's clearly here to extort me."

  Thinking of this, looking at the opposite side that has already turned into an eerie smile, Yu Yang Zhen Ren's cold sweat fell down involuntarily.

  Lu Chen had been waiting impatiently for a long time and thought to himself: "Brother won't be unclear, no need for me to remind him again?"

  In the dimly lit, swaying small hut, a pair of big and small eyes stared at each other for a long time. In the end, Yu Yang Zhen Ren still couldn't bear someone's thick skin, awkwardly smiled, and compromised.

  With a wave of his hand in the Qiankun bag, Yu Yang Zhenren took out an object, and Lu Chen's eyes lit up as he carefully examined it...

  An object made of wood and leather, about three inches wide, with five small pipe-like objects embedded on top, which also has a small wooden block-like mechanism, similar to a sleeve arrow...

  "This was obtained by our sect's founder during his early years of traveling and training outside. The Yu Yang True Person pointed to a certain tubular object above, explaining: "This thing is called the Sleeve Cloud Arrow, inside it should originally have five symbol arrows, but our sect has already used four of them, now only one remains, so I'll give it to you, younger brother, for self-defense."

  "Mechanical artifact?" Lu Chen's eyes lit up, he had seen this thing in the classics. It was said that mechanical artifacts were a branch of artifact refinement, which did not require the use of spiritual power to activate and could be used directly, specially equipped for cultivators with low strength who could not control objects. This was extremely precious, especially when Yu Yang Zhenren mentioned that there was also a symbol treasure arrow inside, Lu Chen's eyes shone even brighter.

  Fu Bao is even more precious than Fu Liao, although ordinary Fu Bao can only be used once, its power is much greater than that of ordinary Fu Liao.

  One grab and the sleeve cloud arrow was snatched from Yu Yang Zhen Ren's hand, Lu Chen lovingly played with it.

  Yu Yang Zhen Ren's eyes widened in alarm as he stared at Lu Chen, "Be careful, younger brother. This object has immense power and can even harm a cultivator who has reached the foundation building stage. Don't get hurt."

  "Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator can be injured?" Lu Chen heard this and was overjoyed, immediately asking: "Oh, oh, senior brother, how do you use this thing?"

  Yu Yang Zhen Ren wiped away his sweat and hastily explained.

  "So, wear it on your wrist... yeah, put this tubular thing at the cuff, right... and then a bit more inside... then there's a mechanism, press it down and it's done, yeah, that's it, use the front to open the safety here, and it's completely safe..."

  After introducing it in this way, Lu Chen finally figured out the usage of Sleeve Cloud Arrow. Apparently, he didn't mind that this item could only be used once; for him, once was enough.

  "What a great thing......" Lu Chen licked his lips, completely disregarding Yu Yang Zhen Ren's frustrated and annoyed mood at this moment.

  After playing around for a while, Lu Chen finally figured out the usage of the Sleeve Cloud Arrow and only then did he raise his head to thank Yu Yang Zhen Ren with extreme gratitude.

  The goal has been achieved, so there's no reason to stay. Lu Chen stood up and gave a series of flattering words before leaving the small hut under Yu Yang Zhen Ren's reddened face.

  The bluestone steps were faintly damp, and as he turned west, the narrow path was slippery with mud. But this did not affect Lu Chen's joyful pace at all. Lu Chen quickly left the small house, and in a few flashes, he went down Qianyu Mountain, but he didn't notice the changes in the small house afterwards...
