"Thank you, senior, for your advice. I will leave now and go back to make preparations."
Lu Qing didn't pay attention to the old man's cynicism.
The purpose of his trip was to get this certificate to participate in the trial.
Now that he had the voucher, he left without lingering.
Looking at Lu Qing's leaving figure, the old man's originally cloudy eyes gradually became clear, with a hint of strange color in his eyes.
"Why did the sword energy from earlier smell like some sect? Could it be that this kid is still a disciple of that crazy sword sect?"
But soon, the old man shook his head again.
"That's not quite right. This guy's sword energy is not pure enough, and has some other things mixed in it. He doesn't look like a pure disciple of the Heaven-Splitting Sword Sect."
"Is it possible that he is a lucky little guy who has received some kind of inheritance from the Heaven-Splitting Sword Sect and has become famous in his practice?" Leaving a legacy and euphemistically saying it is reserved for those who are destined, this boy is probably one of the lucky ones. "
"No wonder he is so confident that he can pass the trial of our Netherworld Palace and become a disciple of that sect. He can be called a genius in swordsmanship."
"If you are careful, it may not be impossible to really pass the trial and become a peripheral member of our Netherworld Palace."
"But... the disciples I inherited and trained ended up coming to our Netherworld Palace. If those sword madmen find out, they will not look good and will be very angry, right?"
The old man thought of this, with an interesting look on his face.
He couldn't wait to see the expressions on the faces of those sword madmen when they knew about this.
Lu Qing is naturally unclear about all this.
His [Xiao Potian Sword Qi] was gained from the line of sword marks in the sky in his home world through supernatural powers.
That sword mark has existed for more than 100,000 years.
In addition, he has always been alone, and he has no idea that there is a sect like the Sky-breaking Sword Sect that has been passed down.
After leaving the small building, Lu Qing took off his disguise, found an inn, and stayed temporarily.
After everything was arranged, he took out the jade talisman and looked at it carefully.
To be honest, obtaining this trial certificate was much easier than he expected.
But thinking about it, even the Five Treasures Taoist Priest was able to participate in the trial with his original strength. It was naturally very easy for him.
After checking with his powers and finding that there was no problem, Lu Qing inserted the power of the soul.
Soon, he learned from it the location and time of the trial.
"After half a month, there is still enough time to prepare."
Lu Qing still valued this experience very much.
This is related to whether he can quickly accumulate a large number of spiritual stones in the future.
He even had an idea. If he could obtain the identity of a peripheral member of the Netherworld Palace, he could exchange all the accumulated treasures in his hand into spiritual stones through the Netherworld Palace.
After all, Netherworld Palace is a terrifying force that even the two major forces, the Demon Race and the Human Race, have to fear.
Must have enough appetite to eat the treasures in his hand.
In that case, even if he does not accept the assassination mission, he can collect the spiritual stones needed for practice for a long time in the future.
Of course, he still has to wait until he passes the trial and has a sufficient understanding of the Netherworld Palace before he can try it.
After thinking for a while, Lu Qing calmed down and began to practice.
Although he doesn't have many spiritual stones in his hand now, it can't support him in high-intensity practice.
This small cave in the inn is also very full of spiritual energy.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and the way to practice lies in the accumulation of each step.
In any case, idle time is idle, and Lu Qing does not intend to waste it, and continues to practice slowly.
Cultivation of the mind takes no time, half a month flies by in a flash.
Lu Qing left the customs an hour early. After settling the bill at the inn, he turned into a stream of light and flew to the location recorded on the jade talisman.
The location recorded on the jade talisman is thousands of miles away from the city where Lu Qing stayed.
Of course, this distance is nothing to Lu Qing.
At his current speed, it didn't take long for him to arrive.
It was an ordinary valley in a mountain forest.
Without the guidance of the jade talisman, others would never have thought that this was actually the famous trial place of Netherworld Palace.
Lu Qing checked again and again in the sky to make sure that he was not in the wrong place before landing.
However, when he was halfway down, suddenly, a ray of sword light flew out from the forest below and slashed at him.
The sword's light is so sharp that it has reached the level of the golden elixir.
Lu Qing raised his eyebrows slightly. Before he could figure out what was going on, he did not make any unnecessary movements. He just flashed his body and gently avoided the sword light.
"Eh?"
There was a soft cry from the mountain forest below. It seemed that Lu Qing, who only revealed the aura of the middle realm of Jindan, was able to avoid his sneak attack.
Immediately afterwards, three figures flew out from the forest below and stopped in front of Lu Qing.
"A few of them not only made a sneak attack, but also blocked the way, what do you mean?" Lu Qing asked lightly.
At this time, he still wore a ghost mask and a black cloak, looking quite mysterious.
As for Xiao Li, he has already entered the Lihuo Cauldron to practice.
"What's the purpose?" One of the three people said coldly, "Boy, stop pretending to be confused. If you know what's going on, hand over the trial jade talisman. In that case, we three brothers may be able to spare your life!"
“You want my trial jade talisman, are you from Netherworld Palace?” Lu Qing asked.
He has sensed that there are many people hiding in the mountains and forests below.
It's just that they are all widely separated from each other, as if they are on guard for something.
And looking at their conflict in the sky, they had no intention of stopping it and were still hiding it.
Feeling these abnormalities, Lu Qing suddenly felt a little clear in his heart.
He remembered what the old man said when he got the trial jade talisman before.
This test in Netherworld Palace is about recognizing jade talismans but not people.
The three people on the other side were stunned for a moment when they heard Lu Qing's words. After looking at each other, the man who spoke just nodded.
"Yes, we are the ones in charge of this trial in the Netherworld Palace. Now hand over your trial jade talisman and you can go in."
"Yes, why does it look a bit different to me? Are there anyone as weak as you in the Netherworld Palace?" Lu Qing said in a calm tone as before.
"Young man is looking for death!"
Hearing this, the three of them didn't know that they had been tricked by the boy with the grimace in front of them, and they immediately became furious.
Then the three of them took action together, using their favorite Taoist techniques to attack Lu Qing.
· Under the burst of aura, there were actually two golden elixir level 7 experts and a golden elixir level 5 powerhouse.
The movements between each other also imply the formation method. Under the connection of Qi and Qi, the power of the moves is also greatly enhanced.
Although Lu Qing was able to dodge their sneak attack just now, the three of them realized that the kid in front of them was a bit extraordinary.
But the three brothers work together and are confident that even the ultimate golden elixir of rank eight or nine can still fight.
Even if the kid in front of them has hidden strength, he will definitely not be their opponent.
They came here in advance and have been in ambush for a long time. It is rare that they encounter this ghost-faced boy with weak aura. They must snatch a trial jade talisman for the third brother.
In that case, when the three brothers enter the place of trial and work together, the probability of passing the trial will be much greater.
The three of them took action with anger and murderous intent in mind. The Taoist spells they used were so powerful that even the strongest men in the Golden Core Realm would be destroyed.
If Lu Qing was really in the realm of the aura he showed, he would definitely be blown to pieces.
However, faced with the siege of three people, Lu Qing didn't even have the intention to dodge.
The next moment, countless sword energy was generated out of thin air in front of him, turning into a long river of sword energy, sweeping forward.
Wherever the sword energy goes, it cuts everything. Regardless of the sword light, gang energy, or magic weapons of the three people, in front of Lu Qing's sword energy, they are like tofu, instantly shattered.
After the long river of sword energy shattered all the attacks, its power did not weaken at all and continued to sweep towards the three people.
"Ah! Not good!"
"Quickly form a formation to resist!"
"How can it be so strong!"
"Brother, I can't stop it!"
"Spare your life, spare your life!"
"Ah!"
With a burst of screams, the three golden elixir realms were directly cut into blood mist by countless sword energies, leaving only a few magic weapons and storage magic weapons in place.
Lu Qing's thoughts moved slightly and he had already put away everything.
It was only then that the other strong men hidden in the mountains and forests below were shocked and looked at this scene in disbelief.
At the same time, a thought arose in my mind.
"This man's swordsmanship is terrifying and unmatched!"
Those who dare to come to participate in the Netherworld Palace trial are almost all extremely arrogant and strong men.
The true identity of some people is that they are talented disciples of certain powerful forces.
At this moment, everyone was shocked by the scene where Lu Qing single-handedly killed three powerful men in the Golden Core Realm in an instant.
I made a decision in my heart at the first moment. When I actually enter the place of trial, if I encounter this person, I must not be hostile to him.
There is no way, two golden elixir level 7, plus a strong person with golden elixir level 5, and they are still in formation, they still can't resist Lu Qing's move.
Everyone predicts that this mysterious man wearing a ghost mask is probably at least a strong person who has reached the eighth level of the Golden Core.
Many people have even begun to wildly guess in their hearts which sword sect Lu Qing is the core true successor of.
As for Lu Qing, after collecting the belongings of the three people, he stepped forward, found an uninhabited position, and landed.
But this time, no one dared to stop him.
"Originally I didn't want to be so high-profile and first figured out the situation of this trial, but I didn't expect to encounter something like this."
Lu Qing shook his head slightly.
According to what the Five Treasures Taoist said originally, the trials in Netherworld Palace are not fixed every time.
So before actually entering the place of trial, no one knows what they will face.
Lu Qing originally wanted to keep a low profile and see the situation first before speaking, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such a speechless thing just after he came here.
"Well, this way, no one will dare to provoke me at will, which can save some unnecessary trouble."
Lu Qing casually scattered a few jade talismans, fell to the ground, and formed a simple formation to hide his body shape and breath.
He took a look just now. The valley was shrouded in an invisible space fluctuation and could not be entered at will.
Combining the strong men hidden in this mountain forest and the time mentioned in the trial jade talisman.
Lu Qing estimated that the valley would not be opened before the time recorded in the jade talisman came.
Hence, he decided to hide in the mountains and forests and wait secretly like others.
The fact is just as Lu Qing guessed.
During the waiting time, some strong men arrived one after another.
Some of them even broke out in battles.
Through the conversations with those people, he also learned that it turned out that in each stronghold of the Netherworld Palace, each trial issued a limited number of trial jade talismans.
In other words, even if the strength is high, not everyone will be able to get the trial jade talisman.
Hence, some people began to pay attention to other things, and wanted to rob and snatch the trial jade talisman before the trial actually started.
In any case, the Netherworld Palace only recognizes talismans and not people. People who have jade talismans can participate in the trial.
This is what happened to the three people who wanted to rob Lu Qing earlier.
The three brothers had tried their best to finally find a stronghold in the Netherworld Palace, but they were told that there were only two trial jade talismans left.
In order to collect the jade talisman, the three of them robbed Lu Qing. Unexpectedly, they kicked a big iron plate and ended up dead.
As for the battle that followed, Lu Qing just watched quietly without making any move.
No one who can come to participate in the Netherworld Palace trial is a good person.
The death is his own fault, so he will not have any psychological fluctuations.
Lu Qing waited quietly. It was about to reach the time recorded in the jade talisman. Suddenly, two figures appeared not far from where he had set up the formation.
The two people looked around, but didn't see the person they wanted to see.
One of them suddenly shouted anxiously: "Senior Ghostface is nearby. I have something important to ask of you, so please show up and see him."
Looking for yourself?
Lu Qing's heart moved. He thought for a moment and withdrew the formation: "Why are you looking for me?"
Lu Qing's sudden appearance startled the two of them.
They didn't expect that Lu Qing was right next to them, but they didn't notice it at all.
This ability to restrain the aura, coupled with the terrifying strength shown by the other party before.
Suddenly, both of them looked in awe and saluted Lu Qing.
One of them said: "Senior Ghost Face, the three golden elixir realms you killed earlier, I wonder if there are any extra trial jade talismans. If so, can they be given to us?"
"Want to trial the jade talisman? Yes, buy it with the spirit stone."
After Lu Qing heard this, he said directly without hesitation.
The two were delighted when they heard this. They did not expect that Lu Qing could be so easy to talk to.
"I wonder how many spiritual stones the senior needs before he is willing to sell this trial jade talisman?" one person said respectfully.
"How many spiritual stones are you willing to pay to purchase this jade talisman? Come up with a price and let me see your sincerity."
The two of them glanced at each other, and one of them said cautiously: "We don't have many spirit stones with us. I wonder if seniors can be satisfied with ten thousand spirit stones and one jade talisman?"
"A middle-grade spirit stone?"
The man smiled bitterly and said: "Senior is joking, naturally it is a low-grade spiritual stone."
"Okay."
Lu Qing directly took out two trial jade talismans and threw them over.
The two people were immediately overjoyed. After receiving the jade talisman, they also took out the spirit stone and carefully handed it to Lu Qing.
Lu Qing was in a good mood after receiving a sum of spiritual stones for free.
He had just put away the spirit stone when suddenly, there was a wave of fluctuation in the valley ahead.
The time recorded in the Jade Talisman Trial has finally arrived.
