"Xiong Chu is a big country after all, and the Gu family is full of talented people. Two of the three artifacts are lost outside. And this... it's used to protect the country, but it's just a waste of time." Lu Bei was speechless. He overestimated Xiong Chu. He would change it immediately.
“That’s not the case. Among the three sacred artifacts of Xiong Chu, it’s not only the Xuanzhu Bow and the Zixiao Tower that are lost outside, but the Changsheng Seal has also lost contact long ago.” Zhu Qilan explained.
Lu Bei said nothing, and was even more speechless.
Zhu Qilan suppressed his smile and described the appearance of the Longevity Seal, mentioning a few details and asking Lu Bei to remember them well.
“Why should I remember this?”
"With your luck, I don't know whether it is good or bad, but you already have two of the three artifacts. I think the last one will not escape your clutches either." Zhu Qilan said reasonably, and then smiled again.
Lu Bei was furious and stretched out his evil hand to him, but was ruthlessly slapped away. He immediately moved closer with a depressed look on his face.
"Cousin, I'm so miserable, and you're still gloating. Can't you comfort me?" He leaned over Zhu Qilan's arms and complained about his grievances with all his might. The latter pushed him away twice but to no avail, so he could only let him do it.
After a while, Lu Bei calmed down, covered the soft flesh on his waist, grimaced, and complained that Zhu Qilan was too cruel.
In fact, it doesn't hurt at all, and you can even avoid it, but there is no greater passion between men and women than this. Men are responsible and thick-skinned, and they will never avoid when being beaten.
Don't hide. There will be a blow tonight. If you hide, it will blow immediately.
"Be serious, you weren't so unruly before." Zhu Qilan straightened his clothes, a little embarrassed and angry.
"It's all Sister Yu's fault. She always teaches me all kinds of random things step by step, and says it's for your own good. If I learn more, it will definitely be useful in the future..."
"Stop talking, I wronged you."
Zhu Qilan interrupted directly and skipped the topic. He didn't blame Lu Bei, nor did he blame Zhu Baiyu. The latter was well-intentioned and was afraid that Lu Bei was young and ignorant, so he guided him. If he really wanted to blame someone, he should blame the rules of the palace.
"By the way, my trip was not in vain. In addition to doing two business deals, I also picked up a magic weapon for the Tribulation Period. Cousin, take a look and see if there is anything you want."
Lu Bei spread out a few magic weapons as if showing off, and said, "Originally, there was a lotus platform and a flying sword. The lotus platform was given to my godmother, and the flying sword was snatched away by a lackey in my sect who was in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Only a broken bell, a short gun, and three dirty flags are left."
Are you going to explore the secret place or to purchase goods
"How can a magic weapon refined during the Tribulation Crossing Stage be as bad as you say?"
Zhu Qilan shook his head slightly. The golden bell's divine light was restrained, the battle flags were shrouded in chaos, and the long spears were emitting cold light. They were all treasures with excellent appearances. It would be extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to obtain one.
After a selection, she chose three battle flags, rubbed them for a while, and then put them back: "With my level, the treasures in my hands are no different from being covered in dust. It is better for you to keep them by your side. At the critical moment, you will have more means and more protection."
"What kind of protection can be compared to Xiong Chu's two great national treasures? Taking one out of each hand can make the Gu family die of anger on the spot."
Lu Bei complained, put away the Golden Bell Spear, stuffed the battle flag into Zhu Qilan's arms, and said, "I have made up my mind. Let's split up. Let's practice together diligently. It's only a matter of time before we merge. We will use it in the future."
Zhu Qilan nodded and no longer refused.
"Enough of the small talk, let's get down to business." Lu Bei said, rolling up his sleeves.
"Isn't it the business of obtaining a magic weapon for the Tribulation Period?"
"Haha, this is just the beginning."
Lu Bei smiled mysteriously, pushed open the small world with both hands, and said, "Follow me, I'll show you a big treasure."
…
Small world.
Lu Bei took out the jade gourd, shook it left and right three times, opened the seal, and a wisp of golden essence spilled out.
Zhu Qilan was born with the White Tiger destiny and practiced the Western Jade Emperor Sutra. She was born with an affinity with the metal element of the Five Elements. Metal energy was a great tonic for her, so she closed her eyes immediately to digest this pure innate energy.
Lu Bei's original intention was to sit and discuss Taoism with Zhu Qilan, and to use his help to refine the innate golden essence. Seeing this situation, he simply opened the yin and yang colored fish, and separated the two people into one yin and one yang, and used the method of dual cultivation to comprehend the innate gold.
Golden energy entered his body and flowed through his tendons and veins throughout his body. Zhu Qilan practiced his skills and the image of a white tiger appeared behind him.
As the yin and yang energies alternated, the auras of the two people became closely connected, and a white tiger also appeared behind Lu Bei. The winds gathered, and the aura of war and killing became stronger.
The innate golden essence in the jade gourd emitted wisps of white light, first entering Zhu Qilan's body, being combed layer by layer, and then circulating yin and yang, using the primordial spirit as a bridge, and transferred to Lu Bei's body.
With Lu Bei's level of understanding, it is impossible to expect him to achieve enlightenment overnight.
The most direct feedback is that the experience value of the skill White Tiger Evil skyrocketed, driving the full set of skills of the Four Spirits and Five Elephants to take off. The potential feedback is that in the small world closely related to the primordial spirit, the golden and white light of the five elements shines brightly.
The five elements are interdependent and circulate one after another. They start from tiny things and spread like wildfire until they cover the sky. The five colors are brilliant like the aurora, illuminating the night sky of the small world.
Deep in the dark sea, the two lotus leaves that inhale and exhale yin and yang and operate the five elements seem to have taken fertilizer. The lotus leaves stretch and open, and the flower buds that have just revealed their pointed corners are growing pleasingly. The petals open layer by layer, revealing a delicate lotus platform as big as an acre, with four lotus seeds sticking out, white light holy, dazzlingly beautiful.
As the lotus platform takes shape, the realization of the small world is further accelerated.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Bei opened his eyes and saw Zhu Qilan floating in the air. His formal attire was shattered by the golden sword and golden energy, and the hair accessories tied up in his black hair also disappeared without a trace.
A square seal hangs high in the sky, projecting the portal to the Heavenly Palace. In the space, which is like a small world, fairy clouds and purple air are endless, and pavilions and towers are looming at the end.
It's just a landscape painting, nothing fancy.
Lu Bei stared at Zhu Qilan without looking away and nodded secretly. He could only say that he had practiced the Western Jade Emperor Sutra correctly and had made the right choice to be the gatekeeper of the Four Gods Lake Secret Realm's White Tiger.
Bang! Bang!
Two heartbeats were like thunder and drums, booming on the sky of the small world. Zhu Qilan in mid-air slowly opened his golden eyes and howled to the sky with the white tiger phantom. His momentum rose steadily and he broke through the bottleneck of the fusion period in an instant. Everything went smoothly from the middle to the late stage, until he slowly stabilized in the state of great perfection.
Enlightenment
No, it’s fate.
Even with Lu Bei's rough common sense in the world of immortal cultivation, he could tell that the real enlightenment should be the same as Bai Jin's, who could gain something just by painting.
The wind returned to calm, like a dark black shawl falling down.
Zhu Qilan slowly exhaled a breath, landed in front of Lu Bei, and smiled faintly at him. Because of the breakthrough in his realm, he was not too surprised to find that he was naked at the moment. He just raised his hand to cover Lu Bei's eyes.
On the other side, the innate golden essence was sucked out by the couple, and it became so weak that it was only the size of a sesame seed.
Zhu Qilan looked at it carefully, and with a thought, he summoned it to his fingertips.
Lu Bei held the soft and fragrant hand in front of him, slowly moved away with a smile on his face. When Zhu Qilan became too shy to bear it, he took out a piece of clothing and covered her with it.
Lu Bei raised his finger and took the innate golden essence. Because he was borrowing Zhu Qilan's aura, his control over the golden essence was a little obscure, but it was not a big problem. Compared with his previous situation where he could just give orders but not move, this moment he had made great progress.
Unable to hold back his ecstasy, Lu Bei summoned the Jade Gourd, put the innate golden essence in it, and suddenly opened the seal:
"Please turn around baby!"
A white light burst out, making him laugh out loud with one hand on his waist.
"Please turn around baby!"
"Please babe..."
"please… "
After more than ten times, Lu Bei stopped because he was still not satisfied. He could have continued, but his innate golden essence could not bear it. Being exploited by the adulterers, his vitality was already seriously damaged, and he was ordered around like a dog for a walk. His innate essence could not bear it!
“It’s too slow, even I can’t catch up with it. It doesn’t have the ultimate attribute to freeze the soul, and its appearance doesn’t look like a flying knife…” Lu Bei muttered to himself. Considering that this magic weapon was made by him personally and can be cultivated and improved in the future, he didn’t care so much.
Zhu Qilan was wearing a single layer of clothing and looked at Lu Bei curiously. He didn't understand why this dead man was so happy that he felt like he had found a treasure.
"Lu Bei, the innate golden essence is mine..."
"mine!"
Lu Bei tightly grasped the gourd: "What's yours is mine, so it's all mine. Do you have any questions?"
Zhu Qilan rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue with him, and reminded him: "This is not how you use the innate gold essence. Your method is too rough. You should..."
"That's how it's used. The one you're talking about is the evil way."
"I haven't said it yet!"
"Even if you tell me, I won't listen. Evil ways are evil ways."
"… "
Okay, as long as you are happy.
Zhu Qilan gave up struggling, thinking of Lu Bei's previous instructions, and said: "Your loyal men have gone to the three western states and are under the command of the Imperial Sect's Xianzhou chief steward. I'm afraid it will be impossible for you to call them back in the future."
The chief steward of Xianzhou of Huangji Sect, isn’t that Xia Yuechan
An image of Cao Ze's ecstasy popped up in Lu Bei's mind, and he said nonchalantly, "Manager Xia Yuechan, I have a friendship with her, and we are just one family, so it won't be a problem."
"You know her well?"
"To be precise, she is very familiar with her husband Zhu Xun, the Grand Commander of Xianzhou of Huangji Sect. The couple jointly controlled Xianzhou. I don't know how much they have made over the years. I am so envious of them."
Lu Bei looked envious and changed the subject: "Cousin, why are you asking this?"
"Nothing, just asking."
Zhu Qilan waved his hand nonchalantly. As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light flashed before his eyes and Lu Bei carried him horizontally in front of him like a princess.
"What's wrong? I still need to practice." Zhu Qilan raised his hand and hooked it on Lu Bei's shoulder. He could tell from the strands of his hair that the dead man was being dishonest again.
"No way, you just started practicing, why are you practicing again?"
"I need to stabilize my realm. I broke through too quickly, so I need to stabilize it."
"No hurry, look at you, you are covered in my dirty clothes, you don't smell good at all, go soak for a while, I will rub the ashes off you with my own hands."
"How can it be..."
Zhu Qilan spat lightly, the scene in front of his eyes flashed, and he returned to the quiet room. Then he followed Lu Bei into the air, and they both fell into the swimming pool with a splash.
"Eh-eh?"
Before Lu Bei could laugh heartily, a scream was heard first.
Zhu Qilan shuddered and buried his head in Lu Bei's shoulder. The latter turned around and saw Butler Yu soaking in the water, covering his face with his hands. The gaps between his fingers were so big that he couldn't hide his eyes.
"What are you looking at? I'm talking to you. You're still laughing. Come here and help me undress!"
