That night, Lu Qing was sitting cross-legged on the bed. With his mind focused and calm, his expression remained serene. His hands, however, were forming an unusual Seal, and from the brow acupoint, waves of soul power surged out, connecting with the earth-elemental energy of the heavens and earth. As the earth-elemental energy surged, a yellow talisman gradually emerged before Lu Qing, taking form. With the final wave of soul power emerging, the yellow talisman completely took shape, emitting a faint glow, suspended in the air, appearing extremely mysterious. "This Earth Movement Talisman is finally condensed." Lu Qing exhaled a breath, a smile appearing on his face. The path of runes, once the soul talisman was condensed, possessed certain methods for confronting enemies, gradually revealing the mystical aspects of this cultivation system. Among these, the most commonly used methods were talismans and formations. A talisman, under the blessing of the soul talisman, was drawn by communicating with the elemental energy of the heavens and earth through the power of the soul, forming a law talisman. These law talismans possessed various extraordinary powers, being quite mystical. As for formations, they were even more complex. To successfully set one up required long preparation, drawing runes according to the terrain and surrounding environment. Given Lu Qing's current cultivation level and his short time studying runes, he had not yet reached the stage of setting up formations. Recently, he had mostly been studying talismans. The just-condensed Earth Movement Talisman was one of the talismans from the 【Five Elements Talisman Art】 of the Divine Rune Sect. Its primary ability was to lighten the body, significantly reducing the physical burden, making it easier to move across the earth. "Now that the Earth Movement Talisman is condensed, it's time to settle the score with the Seven Kill Tower." A trace of coldness flashed in Lu Qing's eyes. Over the past two years, since the incident with "Shadow", he had encountered three assassination attempts by the Seven Kill Tower. The last one occurred three months ago. Although all three attempts were thwarted by Xiao Li's early detection, the Seven Kill Tower's audacity had thoroughly angered Lu Qing. Previously, he had been focused on condensing his soul talisman, unwilling to get involved in more troubles, hence he had tolerated it repeatedly. But now, with all his techniques refined, it was time to collect some interest from the Seven Kill Tower. Conveniently, Mrs. Wei had come to stay at the courtyard today, and Xiao Yan and Xiao Li were with her for the night. With no one at home, Lu Qing felt at ease to go out. With a slight change in his Seal, the Earth Movement Talisman turned into a stream of light, entering his brow acupoint. It then transformed into a miniature light cluster, emitting a faint glow, revolving around the soul talisman like a satellite. Beside it were several other similar light clusters, differing only in color. After storing the Earth Movement Talisman, Lu Qing quietly left the house, not alarming anyone, and came to the outskirts of the village. Once outside the village, sensing no one around, Lu Qing slightly moved his mind. The light cluster representing the Earth Movement Talisman in his brow acupoint space brightened. In the next moment, a strange power enveloped Lu Qing, making his body feel extremely light, almost as if he was floating. "Indeed, as the inheritance says, the body feels incredibly light." After familiarizing himself with the sensation, a look of satisfaction appeared on Lu Qing's face. Then, with a forceful step, he shot forward like an arrow from a bow. He dashed out for dozens of meters, his momentum only slightly waning. But with another step, his speed surged again. "This Earth Movement Talisman is truly magical. With its assistance, I can run for a thousand miles with minimal physical exertion." Lu Qing was pleasantly surprised. The power of the talisman was even more astonishing than he had imagined. With this, he felt more confident about his upcoming action. "Seven Kill Tower, are you ready for my revenge?" Lu Qing's eyes turned icy as he looked into the distance. Thus, with the help of the Earth Movement Talisman, Lu Qing spent most of the night reaching a high mountain. This place was seven hundred miles away from Jiuli Village. It was no longer within Cang County, but in another county, close to the state capital. "A night assault of seven hundred miles, a round trip would be fourteen hundred miles. Even a Martial Grandmaster would be exhausted and far from maintaining my speed over such a distance. This Earth Movement Talisman should perhaps be called a Divine Movement Talisman." Lu Qing was extremely satisfied with the effect of the Earth Movement Talisman. The only slight drawback was that the light cluster representing the Earth Movement Talisman in his brow acupoint space had dimmed considerably. At most, it could support him for another hundred or two hundred miles before completely dissipating. But such an effect was already more than satisfactory for Lu Qing. The means of the rune path had given him a great surprise on its first use. It was not in vain that he had spent so much effort over the past two years to condense the soul talisman. After marveling at the wonders of the rune path, Lu Qing raised his head to look at the high mountain ahead. Halfway up the mountain, the brightly lit manor could be seen, with faint sounds of people and musical instruments, indicating a lively scene inside. Gazing at the mountain, Lu Qing's expression was calm. Two years ago, after defeating "Shadow", he had obtained considerable information about the Seven Kill Tower's bases from his dying words. One of which was the stronghold before him, the closest one to Cang County. According to the information provided by "Shadow", the strongest guardian here was only at the Great Accomplishment stage of the Internal Organs Realm, not his match. However, out of caution, Lu Qing did not intend to storm in directly. He took a set of soft armor from his Spatial Qi Bag and put it on. This soft armor was something he had taken from "Shadow". In this Seven Kill Tower stronghold, with its many traps, the soft armor would provide an additional layer of protection against hidden dangers. After donning the soft armor, Lu Qing put on a prepared set of black night clothes and a black mask that only revealed his eyes. Furthermore, after wearing the mask, his body shape began to change as his blood and qi surged. He became slimmer, and even his face under the mask changed completely. He was using the unique secret technique of the Seven Kill Tower, the Muscle and Bone Transformation Technique. As for the origin of this technique, it was a long story. Over the past two years, after "Shadow", Lu Qing had faced three more assassination attempts by the Seven Kill Tower. From these three assassins, he had finally obtained the long-coveted Muscle and Bone Transformation Technique. Of course, the process involved some extreme methods. Although those methods were somewhat cruel, Lu Qing had no mercy for those trying to kill him.

After transforming his body and appearance, and completely concealing his aura with the soul talisman, Lu Qing quietly infiltrated the mountain. Table of content
