Chapter 103
103 You’re really my biological father (2 in 1)
[ Lu Tingzhou died in battle. ]
Lu chaoxi blamed himself.
Father and son were soldiers on the battlefield. Tingzhou was his eldest son, and they were both on the same battlefield. This was the scene he did not want to see the most.
However, Lu Qing knew that he could not blame his son.
Lu Qing was also very sad about the death of his eldest son and grandson.
Other than Lu chaoxi, Lu Qing did take care of the other ten people from the Lu clan. Of the battle exchange items he had, he would exchange them for others if he didn’t need chaoxi.
Lu Qing had also noticed when Tingzhou was being watched. He immediately summoned a two-star sword talisman and killed the White Ghoul general that was approaching him.
That’s right, Lu Qing had personally done this.
Techniques like the soul confusion spell and the sword talisman that could be used directly against the enemy did not need to be cast by a Clansman. While he was in his consciousness form, he only needed to spend karma to create the corresponding spell technique and talisman. He could directly activate the power inside and kill the target.
Of course, he could also exchange for actual talismans and sword talismans and pass them on to his clansmen for his own use.
At that time, Lu Qing did not have the time to exchange the sword talisman for his clan members. He could only activate it through the system.
In the chaotic battlefield, no one noticed where this unremarkable sword talisman came from. A green and red sword light suddenly appeared in the air, drawing an arc and cutting off the head of a white Ghoul general.
However, who knew that apart from the White Ghoul general, there was also a level two snow sorcerer hiding in the distance, Lao Ai, who had his eyes on Tingzhou.
Lu Qing had focused most of his energy on the White Ghoul King. He had been slightly distracted when he detected the level two white Ghoul general. By the time he had detected the Snow Witch, it was already too late. His extreme cold technique had already taken form, and he could not stop her in time.
The key was that he did not have a protection-type exchange item of better quality, so he could only use a one-star Guardian spirit to make up for it.
The Guardian spirit was effective, but it could only nullify a portion of the damage from the level 2 Snow wizard’s attack. The remaining power still managed to kill Lu Tingzhou.
What could he do?
He could only sigh.
However, the battlefield was merciless, and this was inevitable.
The corpses of the two Lu clan cultivators were collected after the battle. They were placed in coffins and sent back.
He had prepared a lot of these things at the back of the battlefield. Anyway, he could always use them.
After that, there would be special people to transport the coffins with the corpses back to the various counties and families in the Feiyun state.
……
In this battle, the clan had accumulated 33000 merit points.
However, he didn’t have that much in his hands right now. He only had about 19000.
He couldn’t just save up all his merit points to be a miser. He would definitely have to spend a portion of the merit points he earned.
Using merit points to exchange for foundation building pills was indeed a very good opportunity, but using so many merit points to do this might not be a good choice. He also needed to spend some on other places.
And there was a need to spend it.
A sum of money was spent on the Qiao family for them to rent new Fortune Mountain.
The majority of the money was spent on Lu chaoxi.
He had just reached the initial enlightenment realm. Not to mention his cultivation realm, his magical treasures and equipment were still far from being a qualified initial enlightenment cultivator.
For example, he didn’t even have a single Mystic artifact that was third rank or above.
His breakthrough this time was a little rushed. The Tianqi had arrived, and the opportunity was just right. After the battle in feimu town, Lu chaoxi immediately went to Xinfu mountain and tried to make a breakthrough. Then, he achieved it in one fell swoop.
Prepare? He didn’t prepare anything.
After he had broken through, he went into closed-door training on new Fortune Mountain to stabilize his realm. At the same time, he cultivated the celestial sword lightning-controlling true spell that Lu Qing had given him. He definitely did not have the time to look for any magic equipment.
However, Lu Qing was free.
He had made use of chaoxi’s words to get Lu tingyuan to go to cold wind Castle and take the Lu clan’s merit token to exchange for a magic tool for Lu chaoxi.
At the same time, Lu Qing also went over.
When he arrived, he quickly found the Treasury in cold wind Castle, the base camp of the Allied cultivators. He picked out four of the many magical weapons for Lu chaoxi.
Lu Qing wrote down the name and the price. He then told Lu chaoxi about this matter through voice transmission and asked chaoxi to send a letter to tingyuan to ask him to exchange for these four items.
He didn’t need too many fancy magic tools. First, he needed a good sword. Lu chaoxi was good with swords. The godly sword lightning-controlling true spell also required a sword-type magic item to be activated.
Lu qingsui had his eyes on a spiritual sword called ‘Black Thunder’ and a flying sword called ‘flashing cry’.
Flying sword and magic sword were both sword-shaped, but they were actually different. The most obvious point was that flying swords could be controlled by flying swords, but magic swords couldn’t. Both of them could be used to slash people and perform sword cultivation-type moves, but the power of a magic sword was obviously much greater.
Most cultivators would prepare both if they had the conditions.
Of course, some cultivators didn’t use flying swords to fly. Some used flying shuttles, some stepped on flying saucers, some stepped on wine gourds, and some cultivators didn’t like flying on flying artifacts. Instead, they liked to ride immortal cranes, flying horses, and so on.
This would depend on personal preference.
Lu chaoxi himself liked flying swords.
From the names of these two swords, he could tell that they were related to the lightning attribute.
Black Thunder was a level three superior-grade magic sword. It was completely black, and when it slashed at the enemy, it would bring Black Lightning. At the same time, it could also enhance Thunder-attribute spells. The flash was a level three low-grade weapon, and its main characteristic was its speed.
The price of Shan Ming was not very high, and he got 1900 merit points. WuLei was much more expensive, it cost 5500 contribution points.
The reason why black Lightning was so expensive, apart from being a level three high-grade lightning, was mainly because of its special characteristic. It was indeed very powerful in battle. This kind of magic sword that could directly activate the Thunder method was not cheap.
Other than the flying sword and the magic sword, Lu chaoxi also had two level three defensive magic equipment. One of them was called the ‘spirit-guarding golden armor’, and the other was called the’ universal spirit-absorbing diagram’. The former was a level three low-grade item. It was an upgraded version of the ‘spirit summoning armor’ that Lu mingchao had used before. It could also turn into a golden armor Phantom when it was attacked to block the damage. It had a higher resistance to spells but an average resistance to physical attacks.
The universal spirit-absorbing diagram was a scroll. When the enemy’s attack was about to hit, the scroll could be opened and the enemy’s magic weapon and spell technique could be stored inside. However, there was a limit. If he passed it, he would be broken free. Exceeding it by too much would cause it to explode.
This was a level three mid-grade defensive magic tool.
The total price of these two items was 6000 merit points.
In order to arm Lu chaoxi, he had spent more than half of the merit points he had earned after the battle of feimu town.
The speed at which initial enlightenment cultivators spent money was not something that Foundation establishment cultivators could compare to.
Of course, there were also very few initial enlightenment cultivators, like Lu chaoxi, who was rich and generous. He had four level three magic tools in his hands right after he had just broken through, and their effects were all of good grade. Many initial enlightenment cultivators who had just broken through still had level two magic tools in their hands.
When Lu Qing said that he wanted to buy this and that, Lu chaoxi’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He was used to being poor. Although those things sounded tempting to him and he wanted them very much, the high prices made him reluctant to buy them.
“Father, you don’t need such a good sword, right? It’s too extravagant to buy two, Yingying.”
“Father, one defensive magic tool is enough,”
“Father, why don’t you leave some merit points to exchange for the foundation building pill?”
“Father Zhenzhen, you’re really my biological father Zhenzhen.”
He finally remembered that when his father was still active, he was a famous forthright guest in the Feiyun state.
Everyone in the state knew that Lu Qing was a spendthrift and a fat sheep. Everyone liked to do business with him because they could earn money!
The fear of being dominated
Lu Qing was extremely displeased when he heard his son’s resentful words.
“You know nothing! I don’t know who you inherited from, but your mom isn’t like that either! To do a good job, one had to be sharp with their weapons. This war was both a risk and an opportunity. No matter if you wanted to resist the risk or seize the opportunity, it was very important to arm yourself. So what if they had four magical artifacts? Two of these four magic tools can save your life, and two of them can help you earn back all the money you’ve spent on these four magic tools. What’s there to dislike?”
“Yes, yes, yes, Yingluo’s father is right.” Lu chaoxi shrank back. He was not old seventh. He had never dared to talk back to his father.
After exchanging for these four magical equipment, the Lu clan’s merit points were less than 4000.
However, the magic tools that he had exchanged for were also very effective. After three months of fighting, Lu chaoxi had not suffered many injuries. Moreover, Wu Lei’s level three high-grade magic tool was indeed powerful. It might not have been able to defeat any powerful enemies that he couldn’t defeat in the past, but at least it was much more efficient in killing enemies.
After this battle, a lot of merit points had been added in. This allowed the clan’s merit points to return to 19000.
……
After more than three months of fighting, the Lu clan had once again obtained a chance to rest and reorganize.
He couldn’t just let people turn around and fight non-stop, since the war wasn’t that urgent yet.
This was Lu Qing’s reply after Lu chaoxi asked him.
After his death in Tingzhou, Lu chaoxi had been possessed. He only wanted to go to the front lines and kill the White ghouls. He didn’t want to take revenge, but he just wanted to kill the White ghouls.
Lu Qing could understand his thoughts. However, as his father, he had to control this matter. Therefore, he had ordered Lu chaoxi to be forbidden from continuing to head to the front lines.
Lu Qing had once had this kind of mentality. Hence, he knew very well that if he went to the battlefield with this kind of mentality, it was very easy for him to get into trouble on the battlefield.
However, things did not change according to His will. They had just been pushed down from the front line, and in less than 20 days of rest and reorganization, they were once again summoned to the battlefield.
One of the White ghost emperors had been found, and it was not far from Liao city!
That fellow was good at hiding. After it broke through the defense of the White ginseng forest and entered the border of Liao County, it was never found again. Only the occasional news of a team’s destruction and some scattered white ghouls could allow the human cultivators to vaguely determine the location of their main force.
After constantly shrinking the detection circle, it was finally found.
The Alliance Army of the two states would definitely not let it go. The two white ghost emperors were still quite far away from each other. Killing one of them would be of great help to the battle later on.
After all, there were only two white ghost emperors at the moment. If they could kill one first and surround the next one, the pressure on them would be greatly reduced.
With such a background, the Lu clan was re-recruited and hurriedly stuffed with 17 new cultivators. After the number of people was increased to 100, they rushed to the front line.
Their first mission was to attack a place called Ningping town. This place had been attacked by a group of white ghouls earlier. Nearly 7000 mortals in the town and the surrounding villages were slaughtered.
Ningping town was a town under the jurisdiction of Xiaoxi County, one of the three Northwestern counties of Liao County. At the moment, the White Ghoul King should be within the three Northwestern counties.
There were many who had received similar missions like the Lu family. They would be organized according to the formation of the teams and gradually eliminate the White ghouls from all directions. They would also shrink the encirclement step by step until the rank four white ghost emperor was forced out.
During this period, the two golden core cultivators, hai Sande and sun Zhanghai, would constantly cruise around the encirclement to provide support.
With the speed of golden core cultivators, they could cross a County in half a day.
Of course, if any of them were unlucky enough to be targeted by the White ghost emperor, they could only accept their fate.
This kind of loss was probably expected by the upper echelons of the Alliance Army. By gradually shrinking the encirclement, he had intended to make the White ghost emperor unable to withstand the pressure and try to break through. Once the other party moved, their exact location would be exposed and the Golden core cultivators would immediately attack.
As for the teams that were targeted, they would be the heroes of the Xue state and the Feiyun state. People would remember them.
This kind of thing was hard to say. The protagonist always seemed to get this kind of treatment?
Lu Qing respected heroes, but he did not want the cultivators of the Lu clan to be heroes.
When Lu chaoxi led his team into Ningping town and killed the White ghouls, Lu Qing took a look and saw that the strongest white ghouls in the town were only two level two white ghouls. Hence, he flew further away to take a look.
He didn’t find anything unusual.
When they returned to Ningping town, Lu chaoxi and the rest had already killed all the White ghouls.
After resting for a day, a new mission came out the next day, and they had to go to the next location. From the location, it could be seen that they were advancing towards the depths of the three counties step by step.
Lu Qing did not take the trouble to Scout the area first. At the same time, he cruised around the area to ensure that the Lu clan would not become a hero.
After half a month, the Lu clan had already moved into Xiaoxi County.
This place was already a Dead City, with broken walls and corpses everywhere.
At the same time, the encirclement had already shrunk by more than half.
The White ghost emperor was probably going to show up in the next few days, and everyone was getting more and more nervous.
No one wanted to take another step forward, but they couldn’t resist the orders from the higher-ups of the Allied forces.
The Lu family was the same.
However, what was supposed to come would come. The Lu family received a new order: They were required to arrive at zhangqing town within two days. That was already beyond Xiaoxi’s realm, and they had taken a big step deeper into the encirclement.
This was a very dangerous mission. After they received it, not only Lu chaoxi, but the other six foundation building cultivators in the group also had dark expressions.
However, just like what was said before, the orders from the higher-ups of the Alliance Army couldn’t be refused.
Then he could only leave.
The whole team was ready and set off.
Zhang Qingzhen wasn’t close by. Taking into account the speed of the Qi refining cultivators in the team, it would take a day to get there on the road. If they encountered a battle, it would be another time.
However, just as they left Xiaoxi County and traveled Northwest for less than six hours, in the East, in a very distant place, a violent flash of light suddenly appeared. After a quarter of an hour, a strong spiritual energy fluctuation was transmitted over.
Everyone was shocked. They could analyze that this spiritual energy fluctuation had occurred at least two days away from them.
It was so far away, but the sound of rustling could be heard.
That was the White ghost emperor!
