In his mind's eye, Lu Qing found himself within a furnace. His spirit was constantly being tempered, giving him the feeling that in the next moment, his soul would scatter and his body would perish. However, he knew that all of this was illusory. So he remained completely unmoved, silently reciting the cultivation mantra in his heart, enduring it all patiently. It was unclear how much time had passed, but the flames around him gradually extinguished, and the furnace dissipated. A wisp of soul power returned to his apertures. Lu Qing immediately noticed a difference. He felt that his soul power had significantly increased compared to before. A trace of joy appeared in his eyes. "This Furnace Visualization Method truly lives up to its reputation as a cultivation technique from the Immortal Era. Just one initial practice has clearly enhanced my soul power. With such a profound technique, it’s no longer a distant dream to fully grasp the realm of 'Intent' before achieving Precelestial status. I might even consider forming a Soul Talisman.” Thinking of the various profound descriptions of the Soul Talisman in the Divine Rune Sect’s heritage, Lu Qing couldn’t help but feel a bit excited. Since arriving in this world and awakening his abilities, he had received many inheritances. The most precious among them were the inheritances from the Divine Rune Sect and the Li Huo Sect. The Li Huo Sect’s inheritance originated from the Immortal Era. But the origins of the Divine Rune Sect's inheritance remained a mystery. Lu Qing hadn’t been able to learn about the Divine Rune Sect’s past from the inheritance. Even in the Li Huo Sect’s heritage, there was no mention of the Divine Rune Sect. Lu Qing didn’t know which of these two sects was stronger. But in his heart, the Divine Rune Sect was far more mysterious than the Li Huo Sect. And the art of runes was much more profound than the techniques of the Li Huo Sect. It must be known that Lu Qing possessed extraordinary abilities. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. No matter what he practiced, he could do so at an extremely fast pace. Yet, even with such abilities, he still spent a long time just to barely get started with the art of runes. To this day, he had not yet managed to form a Soul Talisman. It was conceivable how difficult the practice of runes was. The art of runes also differed from ordinary cultivation methods. It emphasized learning from all things in heaven and earth, and likewise, using all things in heaven and earth. It wasn’t constrained by spiritual energy; even in times of scarcity, it could still be used. Just that its power wouldn’t be as strong. Such a powerful inheritance was something Lu Qing naturally wouldn’t abandon. So he never slacked off in his efforts to form a Soul Talisman. But due to the limitations of his soul power, the speed of formation had always been slow. Now, with the effectiveness of the Furnace Visualization Method, which could rapidly enhance his soul power, It gave him hope for fully forming a Soul Talisman. How could Lu Qing not be excited? After imagining the future for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Lu Qing calmed his emotions, put his battle blade into the Spatial Qi Bag, and then headed home. At home, he woke Xiao Yan and Xiao Li from their beds, urged them to wash up, and after having breakfast, Lu Qing took the two little ones to the Halfway House. “Ah Qing, Xiao Yan, going to see the old doctor Chen?” Villagers greeted them warmly on the way. At the same time, they couldn’t help but glance at Xiao Li on Lu Qing’s shoulder. Since returning from the county, Lu Qing no longer made Xiao Li hide its identity. After all, in the county, it showed its form every day. Moreover, with his current strength, he no longer needed to worry about anyone harming Xiao Li. So last night, many villagers saw Xiao Li and knew it was Lu Qing’s pet. However, because Xiao Li’s appearance was so unique and full of spirituality, Even knowing of its existence, the villagers still felt amazed. “Yes, I wonder if Master has woken up yet.” Lu Qing smiled. “He’s definitely up. I just passed by the mountain base and saw the old doctor practicing boxing in front of his yard.” After chatting with the villagers for a few moments, Lu Qing led the two little ones up the mountain. When they arrived at the Halfway House, they saw that the Master was indeed in the yard. What surprised him was that someone else was also there. “Lord Zhi Yue?” Seeing the young man in plain clothes drinking tea with the Master under the plum tree, Lu Qing was very surprised. He didn’t expect to meet him here. “Lu Xiaolangjun.” The young man in plain clothes smiled slightly, nodding to Lu Qing. “Lord Zhi Yue, what brings you here? Has something happened in the county?” Lu Qing couldn’t help but ask. In his impression, this person's whereabouts were always a bit elusive, and he never came without reason. Moreover, recently, he had learned some information about Tianji Tower from the Wei family's ancestor, which made him quite wary of this person. He knew that this person not only possessed many unknown secret pieces of information but also seemed to have special abilities and a keen insight. “The county is peaceful. According to the information from Tianji Tower, Wang Cangyi has led his disciples back to Tian Cang Sect. Lu Xiaolangjun need not worry. As for me, I have left the county and plan to travel to other places,” explained the young man in plain clothes. “Then what brings you here, Lord Zhi Yue?” “Of course, it’s because I missed the floral tea made by the old doctor.” The young man in plain clothes smiled. “The floral tea I got from the old doctor last time has long been used up. I couldn’t resist coming before my departure to shamelessly ask for more.” “Hehe, that’s simple. It’s rare that Lord Zhi Yue likes it so much. Later, the old man will give you some more as a parting gift.” The old doctor laughed. “Then I must thank the old doctor here.” The young man in plain clothes rejoiced. After getting the floral tea, the young man in plain clothes straightened his expression. “Of course, apart from asking for tea, there are some things I want to discuss with you.” Lu Qing: ... He knew that this person couldn’t have come just for some floral tea. “Please speak, Lord Zhi Yue.” The old doctor clearly expected this, so he wasn’t surprised. “The first matter concerns Lu Xiaolangjun.” “Me?” Lu Qing was surprised. “Yes, I just received news that yesterday, Seven Kill Tower officially issued a Seven Kill Order against you.” “Seven Kill Order…” Lu Qing’s face gradually turned serious. “Exactly, so Lu Xiaolangjun, you are now very famous in the assassin world. You must know that it’s rare for Seven Kill Tower to issue a Seven Kill Order, sometimes decades apart. Many people are curious to know who you are to warrant such an order from Seven Kill Tower.” “If I could, I wouldn’t want such fame.” Lu Qing said wryly. Being targeted by the entire assassin world, even he felt some psychological pressure. “Lu Xiaolangjun, with your martial prowess, from the moment you decided to go to the county to save the Wei family, it was destined that your name would rise and shake the four directions.” The young man in plain clothes shook his head. “The second matter I want to discuss also concerns you.” “Oh?” Lu Qing raised an eyebrow. “Could there be something worse than being targeted for assassination?” “This time, it should be a good thing.” The young man in plain clothes took out a scroll from his bosom and placed it on the table. “This is a list called the Hidden Dragon List, compiled by my Tianji Tower, gathering countless young talents and genius martial artists from all over the world. It’s a list that countless young martial artists dream of entering. And Lu Xiaolangjun, you are on the list.” Table of content
