Five days later.
The sun shone through the leaves and fell on Lu Qing's body, reflecting mottled spots of light. The spiritual energy from heaven and earth lined up to penetrate into her body. The few grasses beside the boulder that were withered and yellow a few days ago now seemed to have been drugged. Same, jumping higher than people.
After a long time, Lu Qing opened his eyes, feeling the full spiritual power in his body, and nodded with satisfaction, "One day of alchemy, four days of practice, and the cultivation will be improved to the completion of the Qi training period. It is much faster than the practice in the previous life." Young master, it’s time to start preparing for promotion to the foundation building stage.”
In the world of cultivation, only by building the foundation can one truly embark on the path of cultivation. When entering the foundation building period, not only does one's lifespan increase to two hundred years, but one can also search for materials to refine natal spiritual weapons, learn the art of flying with a sword, and various other techniques. The power exerted by the spell is also greater.
"Just to prepare for advancement to the Foundation Establishment Stage, you still have to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill in advance."
When he was in Wanbao Pavilion before, because he had no money, the materials for the alchemy furnace and the Peiyuan Pill were all borrowed from Ji Yue. Lu Qing was too embarrassed to draw the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill and asked Ji Yue to give them to her on credit. , now she has to rely on herself to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Lu Qing looked around. Wolong Mountain was a place with abundant spiritual energy. He thought there was no shortage of elixirs and herbs. He should be able to prepare all the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill. If he couldn't find all the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill here, he would have no choice but to go down the mountain again. Wanbao Pavilion is looking for Ji Yue. She still has a lot of Peiyuan Pills left. She should be able to exchange them for some money, right?
Lu Qing frowned. She was sure that the Peiyuan Pill was dozens of times better than the so-called Qi-Building Pills, Yuan-Restoring Pills, and Soul-Nailing Pills in this world, but she was not sure how much a pill was worth.
Thinking about it, she opened the scroll Ji Yue gave her and began to memorize the contents on it line by line, matching it with the memory of her previous life. It’s better to prepare for the worst!
…
Shenglong City, Yang family, the head of the family's study room.
"Get out of my way. If I rebel against you, do you dare to stop me?" Huo Zhilan, the wife of the Yang family, slapped the guard at the door in the face. Although she is a woman, she is also a martial arts practitioner. If she slaps her, then The guard's face suddenly swelled up, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
However, there was no trace of anger on the guard's face. He said with a smile, "Madam, please forgive me. The second young master is talking to the master of the house inside. The master of the house has given instructions. No one can disturb him. The younger one is also following the instructions of the master of the house."
"Talk about things?" Huo Zhilan had a gloomy face, "He is a bastard, what can he have to talk about? There is nothing more important than the disappearance of his biological son, so get out of here!"
Huo Zhilan directly waved two palms to knock away the person who stood in front of her. With a grunt, she walked into the study with her maid.
Seeing her coming in, Yang Qingsong bowed to her humbly and walked outside silently.
Huo Zhilan glanced at him from nose to nose and let out a sneer.
Yang Tiankun, the head of the Yang family, scolded with a sullen face: "Are there any rules? I'm here to talk about things. If you don't stay in the backyard, what are you doing here?"
"What do I do?" Huo Zhilan sneered, "Do you know that Xu'er hasn't been home for six days, but you, the father, are indifferent to him, and you don't know how you feel about being here with that bastard. Talk about something shameful."
Hearing her words being so unpleasant, Yang Tiankun's face twitched and he yelled angrily: "How outrageous, the dignified wife of the head of the Yang family, her words are so meaningless, how can she look like the wife of the head of the family?"
Huo Zhilan rolled her eyes, "Yes, I am speechless and my behavior is vulgar. I am not worthy of being the wife of the head of the Yang family. What a pity! Why didn't you Yang Tiankun marry me back? In your heart, you are qualified to be the head of the Yang family." Madam, I can only be your concubine now, let me make you round and flatten. Do you hate me in your heart for a long time? That's why you don't care about Xu'er's life and death. He has been missing for so long. You didn’t even look for it.”
"You are so presumptuous!" Yang Tiankun raised his hand, and there was a ball of fiery spiritual power in his hand.
"Haha, you want to hit me in just two words." Huo Zhilan was not afraid when she saw this, but took two steps forward, "Come on, I'll stand here, you come and hit me! Do you dare to hit Yang Tiankun?"
Yang Tiankun raised his hand for a long time, and finally dispersed his spiritual power bitterly, rolled down his sleeves, and glared at her with disgust.
"What's the matter with you? Tell me quickly."
Huo Zhilan sneered at his move, and then said: "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me saying that Xu'er was missing? He hasn't come back for six days. Send someone to look for him quickly."
Yang Tiankun frowned and said, "That scoundrel, what else does he do besides eating, drinking and having fun all day long? What's wrong with not coming back for six days? Maybe he is lying on the belly of some flower house girl, you have to find it yourself Look, everyone in the Yang family has serious business to do."
"If I could find him, why would I come to you? I've already looked for all the places he often goes to, and people say he hasn't been there for six days. It's so abnormal, something must have happened to my son."
After listening to her words, Yang Tiankun finally noticed something was wrong and asked in a deep voice: "Where are those bastard guards around him?"
"There's no one left!"
"Don't the people in his yard know where he is going?"
"I asked, but I don't even know!"
Yang Tiankun frowned even more tightly, rolled up his sleeves and stood up, "I'll go take a look!"
Huo Zhilan quickly followed.
A group of people came to Yang Xu's yard.
Yang Tiankun said: "Go and call everyone out!"
After a while, the yard was filled with Yang Xu's orioles, maids, and servants.
Yang Tiankun had an old face slumped, and his gloomy eyes passed over each person. Those people all shrank their necks and lowered their heads.
My son is not a good person, and I cannot be a good person either. Most of the people who work in Yang Xu's yard, including his Yingying Yanyan, are often punished on weekdays.
"There are so many of you, but none of you know where the third young master has gone?"
No one in the yard answered.
Yang Tiankun's eyes were extremely gloomy, "Here, beat them. Since they won't speak, beat them until they speak."
Immediately, two people stepped forward, each pulled out a whip from their waists, and threw it on the ground with a snap.
"I, I haven't seen the third young master. I haven't seen the third young master for half a month!"
"I haven't seen it either. The third young master came to my room once half a year ago, and he never came again after that."
"Me too!" "Me too!"
After a while, the panicked voices of women could be heard one after another in the yard.
The corner of Yang Tiankun's mouth curled into a bloodthirsty arc. These bastards really don't know what it means to be afraid unless they are beaten.
However, he also knew about Yang Xu's virtues. These women in his yard were all snatched back from outside. They had no background and no martial arts training. They were all weak and timid. Otherwise, they would not have survived to this day. Naturally, it would not have been possible. How dare you harm Yang Xu?
He looked at the slaves who served Yang Xu all day long, "Don't you know?"
Feeling his solemn gaze on her, a maid knelt on the ground, "I, I, I don't know, six days ago, I, I, I washed the young master, and the young master took people out without saying he wanted to Where to go."
Yang Tiankun turned his attention to the next person, who also knelt down with a snap and said stumblingly: "I don't know, the young master asked Miss Lu to be beaten in Zuixian Tower. She has been talking to Wang Shi and the others. Discuss how to take revenge and go back to prevent us from getting close. I really don’t know where the young master has gone.”
"Huh?" Yang Tiankun's expression condensed, "Miss Lu, which Miss Lu?"
Huo Zhilan also had a cold look on her face and looked at her intently. When she came over to ask questions before, this person didn't tell such crucial information at all.
"Lu Anran, the Miss Lu who was expelled by the Lu family!"
Yang Tiankun looked confused, "Lu Anran, isn't she just like that kid Yang Xu, a loser at the sixth level of body training? How can she beat Yang Xu?"
The man looked at Yang Tiankun, then at Huo Zhilan's cannibalistic eyes, and said with a shudder: "I heard that Miss Lu has reached the Nayuan realm. That day, she not only beat the third young master, but also killed a Nayuan member of the Lu family. Yuanjing warriors, it’s just that the young master won’t let us share this information, and everyone else in the house has also received the third young master’s order not to let you two know, for fear that you two will punish him if you find out.”
"Bastard!" Yang Tiankun shouted violently.
He was not because his son was beaten, but because the little beast's hand was stretched out so long, and everyone in the house actually listened to his words. With such important news, he, the head of the family, acted like a deaf man. ,do not know anything.
No, Yang Tiankun's sanity returned a little. That little beast didn't have such a method to deceive him. Someone in this house must be helping him, and the person helping him... He turned to look at Huo Zhilan, who had an eager look on his face. , full of worries about his son.
It seemed that this woman didn't know either. If it wasn't her, it could only be his other good son.
Yang Tiankun's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said to Huo Zhilan: "The good son you raised is trying to climb on my head before I die. Now that something has happened, it seems he deserves it!"
Huo Zhilan's eyebrows jumped, "Why are you angry at me? What does it mean to deserve it? Isn't he your son? You only consider your own interests. Your son's life and death are unknown now. Even if he is just pretending, shouldn't you worry about him? ? Yang Tiankun, what happened to Xu'er, are you secretly happy now? Are you just hoping that my two sons and I will die so that we can make way for that bitch?"
Yang Tiankun's anger was instantly extinguished by Huo Zhilan's nonsense. He rubbed his temples helplessly and waved his men to look for him. "Go to the city and ask around to see if anyone has seen him in the past few days." Third Young Master? If not, go and ask if anyone has seen that Miss Lu?"
The two of them had been frozen in Yang Xu's yard, waiting for news about their men.
More than an hour later, someone came to report:
"Master, I heard that six days ago, someone saw the Third Young Master leading Miss Lu out of the city with Wang Shi and the others."
