“I've roughly gauged the conventional power of the early Precelestial stage.” “The only thing that's difficult to estimate is the power of Precelestial-level secret techniques.” Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lu Qing fell into deep thought. Wei Shanhai was a veteran Precelestial realm expert, his cultivation had long reached the peak of the early Precelestial stage. However, his blade intent had never broken through, which prevented him from stepping into the minor accomplishment stage of the Precelestial realm. If Wei Shanhai wasn't being modest this time, Lu Qing could basically figure out the approximate strength level of a Precelestial early-stage warrior who had comprehended the realm of [Intent] without using secret techniques. At the same time, he also had an estimate of his own strength. That is, after a perfect burst, he could now directly confront a peak early-stage Precelestial warrior. Lu Qing wasn't particularly surprised by this result. Precelestial warriors are indeed powerful, having undergone a baptism of the world's laws and nourished by their own Precelestial true qi. Their physical strength alone is several times greater than that of a regular Martial Grandmaster who has perfected the Internal Organs Realm. Additionally, the mysterious nature of Precelestial true qi makes a casual strike from a Precelestial expert more powerful than a full-force secret technique from a Martial Grandmaster. But that’s only compared to ordinary Martial Grandmasters. Lu Qing was different. Having consumed Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, his aptitude had been enhanced to an extreme. Though he had also perfected the Internal Organs Realm, his physical constitution far exceeded that of ordinary Martial Grandmasters. Coupled with the boost from a perfect burst and his blade technique at the level of blade intent, Lu Qing indeed wasn't very intimidated by early-stage Precelestial warriors. This sparring session confirmed his assumptions. “For someone like Senior Wei, without a powerful special heritage, an ordinary peak early-stage Precelestial warrior, without using secret techniques, poses little threat to me.” Lu Qing pondered in his mind. “As for using secret techniques...” A trace of a mysterious light flashed in his eyes. Precelestial warriors have secret techniques; does he not have trump cards? This time, sparring with Wei Shanhai, although the latter only used the conventional power of the Precelestial realm, he too only revealed a part of his strength. His most powerful trump cards were entirely hidden. “According to Senior Wei, the old ancestor of the Zheng family is only at the peak of the early Precelestial stage. Moreover, he suffered severe injuries in his early years and his vitality was greatly damaged. His strength has long been past its peak. However, rumors are just rumors; I still need to see for myself to be sure.” Although Wei Shanhai spoke with certainty, Lu Qing didn't fully trust the rumors. To confirm the strength of the old ancestor of the Zheng family, he needed to see for himself. “Old lady, you want to draw me out, do you? Then let's see if you can spot me when I truly appear before you.” A cold light flickered in Lu Qing's eyes. Thinking of the old lady who seemed determined to ensnare him, a killing intent inexplicably arose in his heart. Without hesitation, Lu Qing first requested a two-day leave from his master, saying he needed to go into the mountains. That night, after resting well and adjusting his physical state to its peak, Lu Qing quietly left his home. Outside the village, with a slight movement of his mind, he invoked the light group of the Earth Movement Talisman within his brow acupoint space, applying it to himself.

Lu Qing took a step and swiftly headed toward the prefecture city. Because it was nighttime and the wilderness was rarely populated, Lu Qing encountered no incidents along the way and arrived outside the prefecture city after spending most of the night. “The prefecture city indeed lives up to its name. Its walls are far more magnificent than those of a county city.” Looking at the colossal city ahead, lying on the ground like an ancient beast in the darkness, Lu Qing marveled. He did not enter the city but found a place to rest and recover before refining another Earth Movement Talisman. The prefecture city was nearly a thousand miles from Jiuli Village. After such a long journey, the light group representing the Earth Movement Talisman within his brow acupoint space had long dissipated. Therefore, he needed to replenish it first. A quarter-hour later, the Earth Movement Talisman was successfully refined. However, Lu Qing still did not hurry to enter the city. Cities in this world generally closed their gates at night, forbidding entry or exit. Given his lack of knowledge about the situation in the prefecture city, sneaking in at night was not a wise move. So Lu Qing decided to wait until dawn to enter openly. No one in the prefecture city knew him, so even if he went in, no one would recognize him. Finding a giant tree, Lu Qing climbed up and comfortably lay on a large branch, closing his eyes to rest while waiting for dawn. As the sky gradually brightened and the morning sun rose in the east, Lu Qing leisurely opened his eyes and smiled as he looked at the distant sky. “Today is indeed a good day.” After taking some dry food and water from his Spatial Qi Bag and having a full meal, Lu Qing felt refreshed. Then, with a slight movement of his mind, his muscles and bones shifted and transformed. In just a dozen breaths, his appearance had completely changed. Not only had his body become much slimmer, but even his face had turned into that of an ordinary rural boy. Meanwhile, the soul talisman within his brow acupoint trembled slightly. In the next moment, Lu Qing's aura was entirely concealed, revealing a simple and honest vibe. “With the help of the soul talisman, my Muscle and Bone Transformation Technique can be considered truly superb. Not only can I change my appearance, but I can also simulate different physical auras at will. Now, even if my master were in front of me, he probably wouldn't recognize me.” Lu Qing thought to himself. As the fundamental cultivation method of the Divine Rune Sect, the soul talisman had many miraculous uses. Simulating and changing his aura was naturally a piece of cake. “Prefecture city, I hope you can bring me some surprises.” After completing his transformation, Lu Qing looked at the distant giant city with a peculiar gleam in his eyes. Then he jumped down from the tree and headed toward the city. Soon, Lu Qing arrived in front of the city. Seeing many plainly dressed people, some carrying burdens as if going to a market, Lu Qing naturally blended in. At the city gate, Lu Qing found that outsiders entering the prefecture city did not need to be checked. They could enter directly without even paying a city entry fee. The soldiers guarding the gate merely stood on either side, not questioning the people entering or leaving. It seemed they were confident that no one would dare cause trouble in such a large city. “The prefecture city indeed has a grand air.” Lu Qing silently praised, feeling pleased. The lack of identity checks was better for him, making his entry easier. Walking in with a grand demeanor, Lu Qing was immediately captivated by the bustling scene before him. Table of content
