Chapter 332



332 I betrayed myself?

“This one’s broken, and this one’s broken as well, but it seems like it can still be used! I’ve finally found one that’s not really damaged!”

At that moment, Lu Qing was hiding on Yuyan mountain. He was calculating the treasures he had obtained from li Shiwen’s breakthrough platform.

These things were constantly effective in the process of li Shiwen’s breakthrough, and their spirituality was damaged. However, the extent of this loss would also be different according to the different functions of these things during the breakthrough ceremony and the different times of exertion.

Some of them were almost completely scrapped and could only be thrown away as garbage. Some of them, although still able to retain some of their spirituality, could no longer be used as if they were in good condition after being greatly damaged. For example, the heavenly Thunder divine wood had only lost a part of its spirituality. It might be able to be used to make some Dharma artifacts, but it would be irresponsible to use it to make a breakthrough.

The majority of the treasures had lost a portion of their spirituality.

And the least they could find was a complete treasure. They could only find one after half a day.

Even so, Lu Qing was still rather satisfied with his gains after feeling a little regretful.

Although it was not as much as 20 million spirit stones, he had never thought of this kind of peach.

According to the conversion and rough estimation, excluding the materials that were completely scrapped, the remaining materials were worth at least three million spirit stones.

Three million spirit stones!

Although it was a lot less than the ridiculous 20 million, it was still a huge sum to the Lu family. Treasures with damaged spirituality could also be used to make magic tools. As for the complete ones, many of them could be used for breakthroughs. In the future, when the Lu clan’s cultivators needed to break through, these things could be put to use directly. Many of these precious items could save a lot of effort in collecting materials later.

In particular, there were more than a dozen complete pieces of Heavenly Thunder divine wood among them. For a very long time in the future, the clan would not have to worry about the need for lightning spiritual roots cultivators to break through to the initial enlightenment stage.

Lu Qing did not bother with the materials after he placed them in different categories. Later on, the cultivators of the clan would come over to take these things away and use them where they should be used.

Of course, this was not Lu Qing’s greatest gain from the battle in Yan city. Three million spirit stones might seem like a huge sum, but it was nothing compared to the other items.

[ 5-star Conquest event: death of the Yan Emperor ]

[ goal: prevent the Yan Emperor from breaking through. Yan Emperor li Shiwen is dead. ]

[ reward: 30000 karma, two 5-star rare exchange items, two 4-star rare exchange items ]

……

Lu Qing had thought that this matter would turn into a crusade. The result was not wrong.

With 30,000 karma in hand, Lu Qing’s current karma reserves were four times what they had been.

Lu Qing had obtained a lot of karma during the battle in the North barren forest. At one point, he allowed his karma reserves to exceed ten thousand, reaching a number of twenty to thirty thousand.

After the battle in the North barren forest ended, Lu Qing had spent a lot of karma. With a rich account, there was no need to save and spend money so clearly. How boring would that be?

Lu Qing had always been like this.

Even so, many years had passed. Lu Qing did not really spend all the karma he had saved up from the battle in the North barren forest.

The profits were huge and it was not easy to spend them all. On the other hand, as the Lu clan’s control grew, their daily income of karma would increase as well. Most of the time, Lu Qing’s expenditure when he exchanged for various exchange items for the clan’s cultivators would be directly offset by the daily income.

And now, he had another 30000, which made him even richer.

According to his estimation, even if he were to obtain a higher level exchange tab in the future, he would not have to worry about not having enough karma. In reality, as long as he did not go crazy and insist on exchanging for all the exchange options at hand, he should not have to worry about the problem of spending all his karma.

Compared to the 30000 karma, Lu Qing was more concerned about the four new exchange options.

To be honest, he was a little dissatisfied that this crusade had been recognized as a five-star.

I stopped the birth of a new Dharma adept and took on the power of a Dharma stage Zombie’s self-destruction head-on. Is this not a six-star incident? He vomited.

After complaining, he still had to check the exchange tab.

To Lu Qing, the rare exchange tab was a relatively rare resource. The effects of these exchange options were basically irreplaceable, and they usually had relatively important effects.

Not to mention, it was a high star-level exchange option.

Out of the four options, two options appeared for revival.

The resurrection time for a two-star was six hours, three days for a three-star, three months for a four-star, and three years for a five-star.

Even though Lu Qing had already expected this, he could not help but feel a great sense of surprise when he saw it being confirmed!

He immediately gave out two resurrection exchange options, and they were even of high star level. The dissatisfaction he had in his heart before had all disappeared.

It was so fragrant!

A 5-star event was a good thing. As long as it gave him an exchange for resurrection, it would be a good event!

With the four-star and five-star resurrection items, this was a huge profit. This directly made up for Lu Qing’s chances of revival, especially the five-star revival ability. Three years of revival time was enough for him to do many things.

As for the other two, they were more conventional.

One was [ four-star rare: breakthrough bottleneck ], which could greatly increase the success rate of a cultivator breaking through to the Golden core stage.

Immediately, the Lu family had a need to use this exchange option: Lu Chaohe.

Chaohe was about to start preparing to break through to the Golden core realm. The family had a peak level three demonic core, which barely met the standard to refine an external elixir. Chaohe could use it. However, this kind of external elixir made from the peak level three demonic core was different from the real golden core external elixir. At best, it could only be regarded as a relatively good material to help breakthrough and could effectively improve the efficiency of breakthrough, but it could not reach the decisive effect of the real golden core external elixir.

Although Chaohe’s various talents were already very good after his continuous strengthening over the years, Chaohe’s talent was still very good. However, he was still his son. He was still worried. What if he failed to break through?

With this exchange option, Lu Qing felt more at ease.

The other one was [ five-star rare: Heavenly Thunder body ].

This was a very powerful spiritual body talent, suitable for cultivators with lightning spiritual roots.

Without a doubt, Lu Qing would definitely exchange it for chaoxi.

With a spiritual body of this level, Lu chaoxi’s talent would increase by a large margin. It would even be much easier for him to break through to the nascent soul realm in the future.

After taking stock of his gains, Lu Qing activated the training mode and teleported to Yan city. He was prepared to check out the situation there.

It had been a few days since li Shiwen’s breakthrough failed and he died.

Back then, after li Shiwen died, Lu Qing had swept up all the items on the breakthrough platform. He did not leave Yan city immediately.

Although there wasn’t much time left for his resurrection, he still had things to do.

Zou ziwu was dead, the zombies exploded, and Li Shiwen was finished. The biggest issue had been settled. Logically speaking, the Lu clan had already completed the conditions that Lu Qing had discussed with Yunxiao sect. The next matter was to take over the Jin province and half of Ji Province that Yunxiao sect had already promised.

However, things were definitely not that simple. This takeover was just a verbal promise? Even if Yunxiao sect did not hinder them or even showed their support, these two places were the traditional territories of the Imperial court in the past. The Imperial court’s influence was great, and the four great clans, the royal family, and various other forces also had great benefits in these two states.

This wasn’t something that could be taken down just by saying it casually. Even if they couldn’t win against the Lu family, you’ve already come to ask for their assets. Even if they couldn’t win, wouldn’t they still have to go all out?

What was worse was that they might not risk their lives, but go into the dark and fight everywhere.

In addition, if a large area of local power was emptied, the Lu clan would have to put in a lot of effort if they wanted to restore production and the ecology of the local cultivation world. They might have to pay for it when they took over an additional state and a half, but they could not produce any benefits.

If the Lu family were to slowly solve these problems, the price would be high, the effect would be unknown, and the effect would be slow.

The faster and more secure method that Lu Qing had considered was still the Imperial court.

It would be too shallow to regard the Imperial court as a power. In Lu Qing’s opinion, this was a very useful tool.

Coincidentally, it no longer had an owner.

After li Shiwen’s death, Lu Qing used the last few hours of his resurrection time to go to one of the five great Clans in Yan city, including the Royal li clan.

In the face of a Yuanying stage cultivator, how could the major families dare to say anything? It was true that they had hidden powers. However, they could only hide a few golden core cultivators. They were nothing in front of Lu Qing.

Lu Qing did not say much when he arrived. He only said, ” “From today onwards, you are not allowed to take a single step out of the manor, or else we will slaughter you all.”

It’s up to you to listen or not.

The Lu family’s fleet was not far from Yan city at that time. They would arrive in just six to six hours.

After some calculations, he felt that he still had enough time to resurrect. When the time came, Lu Qing would not mind using some bloody means if the people from these clans were really disobedient.

Their biggest backer had fallen, so who else could they count on?

Yunxiao sect? They wouldn’t even care.

Hence, when the Lu family arrived, none of the five major families, including the Li family, left the house.

Lu Qing was very satisfied with this.

“My deterrence is still quite strong, Yingluo.”

If the five families didn’t show up, the Imperial Guards would have been transferred to the front line of Pingzhou. The defense Force in Yan city was empty.

Lu Qing had stood on the head of the Lu clan’s fleet and made use of the last bit of resurrection time to show his face. His true energy surged and he displayed his aura, clearly telling the entire Yan city that a nascent soul cultivator had arrived.

After that, the process of the Lu family taking over the defense formation of the entire Yan city was very smooth. At the same time, under old ancestor Lu’s instructions, he had also sent people to bring Bai Nantian back from his coma.

When the Lu clan had taken over half of the territory, Lu Qing’s resurrection time had already expired. However, Lu Qing did not have much to worry about. After all, he had fought with zou ziwu in the inner city. Be it the explosion of The Living Corpse or the obstruction of li Shiwen’s breakthrough, both of them had caused a huge commotion. In addition to his final intimidation, he had also truly displayed his strength.

In a situation where there were no enemies of the same level, Lu Qing thought that such a deterrent force was enough. No one would openly challenge the Lu family’s takeover of Yan city unless they were desperate.

Furthermore, the Lu family’s forces in Yan city were not weak.

Lu chaoxi, Lu mingchao, and Li Yanling were all golden core cultivators. In addition, hai Sande and the immortal yunxuan, who could already be regarded as the Lu clan’s hardcore allies, had come with them. These two Jindan stage cultivators of the Qingfeng sect were not to be trifled with.

Lu Qing had also found out about the situation in Yan city. On the surface, there were a total of eight Jindan. Including the ones hiding behind the scenes, there were only twelve in total. Five of them had already followed the Imperial Guards to the front line of Pingzhou. Only seven of them were in Yan city.

More importantly, these seven people belonged to different forces. It was difficult for them to communicate with each other all of a sudden. Under the threat of Lu Qing, who was a nascent soul realm cultivator, the chances of them joining forces and rebelling were low.

Even if this could be considered the worst case scenario, the Lu family would not be defeated immediately. Even if Lu Qing did not use the reincarnation exchange tab and used the various exchange tab in the system, he would be able to help the Lu clan defeat and suppress the Golden core cultivators of Yan city even if he did not care about the cost of his karma.

Furthermore, after the Lu clan took over the defense formation of Yan city, they did not take any further action. The fleet stopped at the floating pier in Yan city, and the cultivators found a place in the inner city and gathered there. At the same time, under Lu chaoxi’s coordination, he sent out the corresponding emissaries to stabilize the four great clans ‘mentality and to warn the Li clan.

The explanation for the four families was that li Shiwen and zou ziwu had betrayed the country and had been executed. Other than the logistics department, which continued to provide supplies to the front line in Pingzhou, all other activities and operations of the Imperial court were temporarily halted. The follow-up arrangements would be discussed after the Yunxiao sect had a decision.

Even though the leaders of the four major families had already prepared themselves for this, they were still surprised by the Lu family’s statement.

The Emperor committed treason? He even brought the Prime Minister with him to commit treason?

I betray myself?

It’s a little ridiculous.

However, the Lu family did not care about what they thought.

There was a relatively large backlash from the Li family, but after a golden core cultivator came to the scene, killed a few people, and made the surviving golden core cultivator of the Li family lower his head, the backlash subsided.

I worked overtime yesterday and was too tired when I got home. I said I’d lie down for a while and then get up to write, but I didn’t wash my face or brush my teeth. When I opened my eyes, it was already dawn.

He had written a little during the day and didn’t work overtime, so he quickly finished writing this chapter and posted it.

I’ll write it later after I eat. Even if I don’t sleep, I’ll definitely write another 4k!
