"The power of my body and soul has finally reached its limit again."
Lu Qing felt the changes in his body, and felt a sense of joy in his heart.
I thought it would be a few days before his physical body and the power of his soul could reach perfection, but unexpectedly, it was actually a few days ahead of schedule.
It seems that the insights he gained last night were indeed of great benefit to him.
Hence, the refining of the Earth Spirit Pearl has been sped up a bit, and the nurturing effect on oneself has been further improved.
The power of the body and soul, which originally took several days to reach the limit again, has been perfected ahead of schedule.
Clenched his fist, not even the power of Qi and blood was used, just the pure power of the body. A subtle explosion of Qi sounded from Lu Qing's palm.
"With my current strength, even if I don't use the talisman and the earth spirit bead in the acupoint between my eyebrows, I can defeat Mo Zhen, who has developed the body of a blood demon, with just my physical strength.
I can kill an old woman like that from the Zheng family with one punch.
And my cultivation methods are complementary to each other.
Now the power of the soul is stronger than ever. Reaching the limit for the first time, my speed of refining the Earth Spirit Pearl is also accelerating.
It won’t take long for me to completely refine this Earth Elemental Treasure.
By then, my strength will be greatly enhanced again. ”
Lu Qing feels very satisfied with the surging physical power in his body.
It is not in vain that he has suppressed the realm for so long, resisting the temptation of the power of the innate realm and not breaking through.
Now the rewards are indeed huge.
"Now, the power of the body and mind, have reached the acquired limit; next, it is time to prepare for a breakthrough." Since listening to Xuan Jizi's description of the situation in Zhongzhou, Lu Qing also felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
Zhongzhou now seems to be controlled by the three people from the Holy Mountain, but he knows that this is only temporary.
Once there are people from other major sects who have successfully understood the ancient practice method, they will step into a whole new realm.
When the balance is broken, there will definitely be some turmoil.
So he decided that after entering Zhongzhou, if he still had no clue about the hidden opportunity, he would immediately find a place full of spiritual energy to retreat and attack the innate realm.
Lu Qing believes that his current foundation is unprecedented, but in the world today, it is difficult for anyone to be more profound than him.
With his accumulation, once he steps into the innate realm, his strength will undergo an extremely astonishing transformation.
Coupled with the many trump cards in his hand.
At that time, even the most powerful person with perfect innate realm will not necessarily be afraid of him.
The power of his body and soul has been perfected ahead of schedule, which makes Lu Qing feel very good.
Even Magu and the others could see the joy on their faces when they were having breakfast.
"Ah Qing, what happened to you, why are you so happy?" the old doctor asked curiously
"It's nothing, I just gained some new insights in cultivation." Lu Qing said with a smile, "By the way, Master, I studied the meaning of the city gate carvings last night and discovered some interesting things."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
The old doctor looked around and reflected.
Yes, there are many people in the inn. There are two tables of diners not far from where they had breakfast.
The inscription on the city gate has a long history. If they really talk about it here, I am afraid it will attract attention.
"Then let's get ready to set off after we finish our breakfast. Magu has already asked the shopkeeper that Qinglong Pass will only be opened once every seven days.
And they are all opened at Chen hour. Today is the day to open it. Now that Chen hour is gone, there is only half an hour left. "
Hearing that the Chenshi checkpoint would be opened, Lu Qing and the others also speeded up their eating.
After finishing breakfast, everyone went back to their rooms and started packing their things.
Soon, after packing up the things, when Lu Qing went to settle the room fee, Ma Gu also hitched up the carriage.
"Let's go."
Because horses are not allowed to run in Qinglong City, Ma Gu had to lead the carriage.
The old doctor and the others also chose to walk, and continued to enjoy the scenery of the majestic Qinglong City.
The checkpoint leading to Zhongzhou is in the west direction of the city. Lu Qing and the others stopped and walked, admiring the scenery in the city. They arrived at the west of the city just before the checkpoint opened.
"Is this Qinglong Pass?"
When Lu Qing and others saw the legendary Qinglong Pass, their expressions were a little dazed.
Qinglong City was built near the river. The west side of the city is close to the river.
Humbly, Lu Qing could still hear the sound of the rushing river.
What stood in front of them at this time was a huge city gate about ten feet wide and thirty or forty feet high.
Above the city gate, there are three huge inscriptions [Qinglong Pass].
These three engraved characters are stained with decay, as if they have been eroded by wind and rain for thousands of years, and are full of ancient and profound meanings.
Although there is no martial arts will on it, the ancient meaning brought by the baptism of time is more profound than the three words carved by the martial saint on the east gate.
"This west gate of the city is much more majestic than the east gate entering the city." Lu Qing exclaimed.
"Yes, in comparison, this side is more like the main city gate."
Magu and the others also nodded in agreement.
"A lot of people want to leave the customs together."
Wei Zian looked around and saw that there were at least nearly a thousand people gathered in front of the checkpoint, waiting to leave the customs.
Many people were in groups, looking like caravans, ranging from more than ten people to nearly a hundred people.
Their carriage is parked here, which is inconspicuous.
But this is exactly what Lu Qing wanted.
Their carriage is, after all, engraved with formations. Although the formations are now shut down by him, some runes on the carriage can still be seen if you observe carefully.
If you meet someone who knows something, you might want to pay attention to it.
Although they are not afraid, they are about to enter the border gate now. Naturally, it is better to do less than to do more. The lower the profile, the better.
"The city gate is about to open!"
While everyone was waiting, suddenly, someone didn't know who shouted, which immediately diverted everyone's attention.
Lu Qing also looked towards the city gate.
「Ha!」
There was a loud shouting. On both sides of the city gate, there were more than 20 shirtless men on each side. They all grabbed a huge winch. Their energy and blood burst out, their faces turned red, and they struggled to turn the winch.
Boom, boom!
As the winch turned, a crack opened in the middle of the city gate, and the two city gates slowly retreated to both sides.
"Good fellow, even those who pull the door are all warriors above the realm of muscles and bones. No wonder this Qinglong Pass only opens once every seven days."
Lu Qing felt the energy and blood erupting from the big men turning the winches, and raised his eyebrows.
Among the dozens of big men, none of them have a martial arts cultivation level lower than that of the Muscle and Bone Realm.
The most powerful one has completely perfected Qi and blood, and is only a thin line away from the inner state.
𝙨𝙩𝙤55.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Such a strong person can live a very comfortable life in any small town in a big state outside.
Form a gang and live comfortably.
But here, he has to act as a coolie to open the city gate.
The foundation of this big city is indeed profound.
However, this city gate is indeed heavy, and I don’t know how much manpower and material resources were spent on its original construction.
With the loud shouts and the efforts of the group of shirtless men, the city gate gradually retreated to both sides.
At the same time, a stream of water vapor came from outside, and the sound of huge water rushing into the city instantly.
"This..."
Feeling the abundant water vapor, Lu Qing's eyes opened slightly.
From this water vapor, he felt a very abundant spiritual energy.
After another half-quarter of an hour, the city gate was finally fully opened thanks to the efforts of the group of men.
At this time, the faces of the big men also became a little tired, and they were panting and resting aside.
One can imagine how much effort it took them just to open this city gate.
"The city gate has been opened. Those who want to leave the gate should line up immediately. After paying the customs fee, they can enter!"
A loud voice sounded.
With this sound, although there were people waiting, they immediately lined up in an orderly manner.
In front of a big city like Qinglong City, no one dares to cause trouble and they all obey the rules.
Lu Qing and the others also led the carriage and lined up at the back of the team.
Because there were so many people entering the checkpoint, they waited for almost an hour before they came to the checkpoint.
"Sir, we are going to enter the customs!"
Ma Gu stepped forward and smiled at the mighty man sitting in front of a table, writing something in front of the account book on the table.
"There are five people in total, plus a carriage." Magu said politely.
The mighty man raised his head, glanced at Lu Qing and the others, paused at Xiaoyan, and then looked at the carriage behind them.
Then he continued to lower his head and wrote: "The entry fee is five taels per person, children do not need to pay, and one tael for the carriage, a total of twenty-one silver."
"Yes, sir, this is the fee we paid."
Magu handed over a money bag.
The mighty man took the purse, paused for a moment, weighed it, opened it, and poured out two ingots of white silver.
Then he took out another ingot of silver from the money bag, pinched off a corner, stuffed the missing silver ingot back into the money bag, and threw it back to Magu.
"I have always kept a clear distinction between public affairs and private affairs. I will not accept excess money. If you have any leftover money, please take it back."
Ma Gu took the money bag with a bit of embarrassment on his face.
However, he did not dare to say anything more, so he had to bow respectfully and put the money bag away.
When Lu Qing saw this scene, his eyes flickered slightly, and his eyes remained silently on the mighty man for a few breaths.
After paying the customs fee, Lu Qing and the others began to leave the city.
When they crossed the city gate and arrived outside the city, they were once again shocked by the scene outside.
Outside the city gate, there is a huge platform that can accommodate ten thousand people at the same time. Under the platform, there is a magnificent river.
A majestic, flat bridge dozens of wide is connected to the front end of the platform, crossing the river with almost no end in sight.
Looking at the fast-flowing, turbulent river below, and the huge bridge that spans the river, like a dragon.
Lu Qing couldn't help but be amazed.
It is indeed the Qinglong Pass which is known as the best pass in the world.
This miraculous sight alone was enough to make him feel that his trip was worthwhile.
The old doctor and the others were also shocked by the spectacular sight before them.
It took a while before he came back to his senses.
"Sure enough, the world is so big and full of wonders. Old man, I used to think that I had a lot of experience, but now I realize that I am just a frog in the well." The old doctor sighed.
As for Ma Gu and Wei Zian, they were even more excited.
If they had not followed Lu Qing and the others to Zhongzhou, how could they have seen the breathtaking scenery in front of them.
"Master, let's go."
Lu Qing reminded him when he saw that most of the people in front had already started to climb the bridge.
The old doctor nodded, and several people began to walk forward.
Such a spectacular scenery, it is natural to appreciate it carefully.
Lu Qing and the others decided that it would be better to walk across the bridge.
Hence, Ma Gu continued to pull the carriage, while Lu Qing hugged Xiaoyan and walked towards the bridge.
As for Xiaoli, he had always hated water and had already snuck into Lu Qing’s arms.
"Xiao Lian, when you get to Xuanxin Sect, remember to practice hard. If you can become a disciple of Xuanxin Sect, you will reach the sky in one step." Son, I bought you a spot, so you can’t waste it."
"But dad, the examination for Xuanxin Sect’s disciples has always been notoriously difficult. I have only just reached the Qi and Blood Realm, so how can I possibly pass it?”
h "If you can't pass, go to your uncle. He is the outer elder of Xuanxin Sect. He will definitely be able to find a way."
h "But doesn't my uncle always hate our family? How can he help?"
"No matter how much I hate you, you are still his niece. If it weren't for him, how could your mother die? If he dares not to help you, I will go find him myself with your mother's memorial tablet!"
Just when he was about to board the bridge, Lu Qing suddenly heard such a conversation.
One of the voices sounded a little familiar.
Looking back, I saw a few people standing not far away. One of them, a middle-aged man, was giving serious instructions to a young girl with good appearance.
And that middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples, isn't he the city guard Hu Laosan they saw when they entered the city yesterday?
Seeing that his daughter was still in the same mood, Hu Laosan's face darkened, and he shouted softly: "Anyway, remember, you must try your best to join Xuanxin Sect this time, you know, otherwise, I will not recognize you as my daughter in the future!"
"Daddy, don't be angry, I just promise you. If I fail the test, I will ask my uncle."
The girl saw that Hu Laosan was angry, so she quickly agreed.
"Just remember."
Hu Laosan's expression softened.
He then smiled at the few people who had been silent beside him and said, "Brother Zheng, Brother Liu, Miss Wang, and Xiaolian's safety, I entrust it to you.
This little girl is usually at home and is very pampered. Please forgive me if she does something coquettish on the road. "
"Don't worry, Brother Hu. Since it was the third young master of the Ji family who spoke, and we are on the way, we will definitely send Miss Hu to Xuanxin Sect safely..."
As we walked farther and farther, and the sound of rushing water under our feet was covering up, Lu Qing gradually couldn't hear what was said next.
But he didn't care much and continued to hold Xiaoyan and walk forward. (End of chapter)
