Chapter 247: Chapter 247 Shaking Light Sword
Before the eldest disciple, Lin Qingzhi, went down the mountain for his trial, Lu Changsheng conducted the final apprenticeship.
To date, Lin Qingzhi had not acquired a sword of his own.
Lu Changsheng had plenty of lower-grade Immortal Swords; he took out one named “Azure Light Frost Brilliance” and awarded it to his eldest disciple as Lin Qingzhi’s exclusive magical artifact.
This Immortal Sword radiated a piercing cold light, a fleeting glance induced a chill down one’s spine, as though the surrounding temperature was rapidly falling.
Even among the five major sects, lower-grade Immortal Swords were eligible to be considered treasures only by the most top-notch cultivators among the Supreme Elders.
And yet, Lu Changsheng casually took out an Immortal Sword.
“Disciple thanks Master.”
Lin Qingzhi respectfully accepted the Immortal Sword bestowed by his master with both hands.
[Ding, You have awarded your disciple Lin Qingzhi the lower-grade Immortal Artifact “Azure Light Frost Brilliance Sword” and obtained a hundredfold return reward for apprenticeship: a mid-grade Immortal Artifact “Shaking Light Sword”.]
[Ding, the number of times Immortal Artifacts can be returned this month -1, remaining returns for Immortal Artifacts this month is 1.]
A dazzling Immortal Sword appeared within Lu Changsheng, spreading its chilling murderous aura.
Engraved clearly on the blade of the sword were the ancient characters “Shaking Light”.
Because Lu Changsheng already had Immortal Artifacts such as the Demon-Suppressing Sword and the Mysterious Fire Mirror within him, this Immortal Sword named Shaking Light did not cause much commotion inside him.
[Shaking Light Sword: A mid-grade Immortal Sword, one of the seven swords that perfectly fit the Seven Star Sword Formation, capable of drawing upon the force of the Shaking Light Star.]
According to the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator’s item description, this mid-grade Immortal Sword is unexpectedly one of the seven swords that make up the Seven Star Sword Formation.
The Seven Star Sword Formation can also be practiced with other Immortal Swords, but in terms of efficacy, naturally, the matching swords bring out the maximum power of the Seven Star Sword Formation.
Lu Changsheng had thought he obtained a sword that would gather dust within him, but he did not expect this sword to be greatly beneficial for the use of the Seven Star Sword Formation.
As a first layer Void Refinement Realm cultivator, Lin Qingzhi’s offensive means included the Azure Light Frost Brilliance Sword and the Tiangang Sword Formation, his defensive means included the Mysterious Yellow Tower, making his actual combat power equivalent to an ordinary third layer Void Refinement Realm expert.
“These two Spatial Talismans are for safeguarding your life. Unless you encounter Immortal Artifacts like the Demon Emperor Cauldron that can confine space, even the Palace Master of the Summoning Demon Palace can do nothing to you.”
Lu Changsheng took out two Within Reach, Ends of the Earth Talismans for Lin Qingzhi’s survival.
With Lin Qingzhi’s means of protecting his life, there were not many experts in Luzhou who could hold onto him.
Until the apprentice reaches the Great Accomplishment of the Void Refinement Realm, awarding ninth-grade talismans does not come with a return reward for apprenticeship.
However, Lu Changsheng did not particularly care.
Once his disciple’s realm successively reached the Void Refinement Realm, the probability of returning ninth-grade Spatial Talismans increased, and two mere ninth-grade talismans really didn’t count for much.
“All right, you may now descend the mountain to investigate the information regarding the Summoning Demon Palace.”
After ensuring Lin Qingzhi had ample life-saving methods, Lu Changsheng arranged for him to descend the mountain for his experience, to trace the whereabouts of the remnants of the Summoning Demon Palace.
The Summoning Demon Palace was the most mysterious of the four Demon Sects of Xia State, usually elusive and hard to track.
Since the Palace Master of the Summoning Demon Palace and several Supreme Elders were still alive, they could potentially be a hidden threat. Sending Lin Qingzhi to investigate the whereabouts of the Summoning Demon Palace was also a viable option.
“Disciple will definitely find the whereabouts of the remnants of the Summoning Demon Palace.”
Lin Qingzhi performed the farewell ritual, shouldered the Azure Light Frost Brilliance Sword, packed his belongings, and prepared to leave Qingyun Peak.
“Senior Sister, I am bound by the master’s command to descend the mountain, and it may be years before I return.”
Before descending the mountain, Lin Qingzhi specially bid farewell to Chen Yao.
Chen Yao smiled faintly, “Take care of yourself.”
“Mhm.”
Lin Qingzhi activated the Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Sword, transforming into a streak of light, and left Mount Shu.
Chen Yao watched Lin Qingzhi leave, then continued cultivating.
Lin Qingzhi bade her farewell before leaving, which had already made Chen Yao’s heart bloom with joy.
Lin Qingzhi was finally showing some sense.

“The eldest disciple has gone down the mountain to gain experience; next up, it’s time for Lian to break through.”
“Lian, come to your master’s cave abode.”
Lu Changsheng transmitted a message to Lu Qinglian.
Lu Qinglian was only one layer away from achieving Great Perfection in the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique, and Lu Changsheng had already prepared the fire attribute Body Tempering Elixir, sufficient to help her take the final step and then attack the Void Refinement Realm.
In Lu Changsheng’s cave abode, the Golden Crow Divine Furnace had transformed into the size of a pool, filled with pure fire attribute medicinal power that was showing a fiery red color.
Lu Qinglian soaked in the fiery red medicinal pool of the Golden Crow Divine Furnace, her fair skin greedily devoured the mighty medicinal power, using it to temper every bone and muscle.
Three thousand strands of hair flowed down to her waist, shimmering with the light of fire.
As Lu Qinglian’s cultivation level increased, her temperament became extraordinary and her beauty unsurpassed.
As the Martial King Divine Physique absorbed the medicinal power, the medicinal force inside the Golden Crow Divine Furnace gradually disappeared.
When all the medicinal power in the Golden Crow Divine Furnace was depleted, Lu Qinglian opened her eyes, a hint of crimson flashing through her pupils.
Lu Qinglian stepped out from the Golden Crow Divine Furnace unblemished, her jade fingers beckoning, at which the Phoenix Feather Universe Clothes on the side flew into her hand.
Lu Qinglian tossed her long hair back, the strands spilling over her shoulders, her skin radiant as jade and bone, still emitting steam.
Lu Qinglian, in Mount Shu, was not short of suitors.
However, the glory of her master was too dazzling, and with Lu Qinglian’s cultivation improving by leaps and bounds, she found other elders and disciples of Mount Shu to be quite ordinary in comparison.

“Master, your disciple has achieved Great Perfection in the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique,” said Lu Qinglian.
Lu Qinglian arrived at another area of the cave abode and saw Lu Changsheng looking through the eleventh chapter of the Taiqing Wuji Technique.

“This is the Seventh Grade Entering Void Pill.”
“This is the Eighth Grade Elixir, Red Flood Dragon Gold Pill.”
“This is a superior Innate Spirit Treasure, the ‘Red Lotus Battle Skirt.'”
“This is…”

Lu Changsheng, familiar with the routine, had already prepared a Tribulation Gift Package for Lu Qinglian in advance.
[Ding, you have bestowed your disciple Lu Qinglian with a superior Innate Spirit Treasure “Red Lotus Battle Skirt,” and received a hundredfold Return Reward from the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator: a lower-grade Immortal Artifact “Red Lotus Auspicious Clouds Immortal Skirt.”]
[Ding, the number of Immortal Artifacts that can be returned this month has been decreased by 1, the remaining number of Immortal Artifact returns for this month is 0.]
After Lu Changsheng had bestowed the Tribulation treasures, he took Lu Qinglian to a deserted area outside Mount Shu, specially designated for facing the Tribulation, to prepare for her breakthrough.
Lu Qinglian took the Entering Void Pill and then directly swallowed the Red Flood Dragon Gold Pill.
With the extremely domineering Martial King Divine Physique, and after reaching Great Accomplishment in the Nine Dragons Refinement Technique, the Martial King Divine Physique would only grow more formidable, able to directly ingest the Eighth Grade Golden Core without the need for refining.
“I wonder how terrible the Heavenly Tribulation triggered by the Martial King Divine Physique will be…” Lu Changsheng mused.
Lu Changsheng set up a barrier and personally acted as the protector for Lu Qinglian.
Lu Qinglian was to face a Threefold Heavenly Tribulation; if there was a possibility of perishing, then with Lu Changsheng’s intervention, there was a slight chance to save her.
“Come on!”
Lu Qinglian released her aura, the golden blood of the Martial King Divine Physique boiling, her fighting spirit soaring, her momentum skyrocketing!
She looked up into the heavens, ready to face the Threefold Heavenly Tribulation head-on with the Martial King Divine Physique!
“The Martial King Divine Physique really is fierce and aggressive, not even sparing the Heavenly Tribulation,” noted Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng was actually looking forward to the day this disciple would grow into a Martial God.
