Chapter 259: The physical body and soul are perfect again and come out of seclusion

 “The power of my body and soul has finally reached perfection again and reached its limit.”

 Lu Qing felt the changes in his body, and felt a sense of joy in his heart.

I thought it would take a few days before his physical body and the power of his soul could reach perfection, but he didn't expect that it would actually be a few days ahead of schedule.

It seems that the insights he gained last night were indeed of great benefit to him.

 The refining of the Earth Spirit Pearl has also been sped up, 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 in advance.

 Clenched a fist, not even using the power of Qi and blood, just pure physical power, but a subtle explosion of Qi sounded from Lu Qing's palm.

“With my current strength, even if I don’t use the talismans and earth spirit beads in the acupoint between my eyebrows, I can defeat Mo Zhen who has become a blood demon with just my physical strength.

Like that old woman from the Zheng family, she can be killed with one punch.

 And my cultivation methods are all complementary to each other.

Now that the power of the soul has reached its limit again, my speed of refining the earth spirit beads is also accelerating.

 It won’t take long before I can completely refine this earth treasure.

 At that time, the strength will be greatly enhanced again. "

Lu Qing was very satisfied as he felt the perfect and surging physical power in his body.

It is not in vain that he has suppressed the realm for so long, and has been resisting the temptation of the power of the innate realm and not breaking through.

 Now the rewards are indeed huge.

“Now that the power of the physical body and the soul has reached the acquired limit, it is time to prepare for a breakthrough.”

 Ever 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 understand the ancient practice method and become successful, they will enter 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.

By then, 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.

 So much so that even Magu and the others could see the joy on their faces while eating 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 inscriptions on the city gate last night and discovered some interesting things.”

 “Oh, what’s the matter?”

"Let's talk about this when we are on the road." Lu Qing did not say it immediately.

 The old doctor looked around and reflected.

 Yes, there were many people in the inn. There were two tables of diners not far from where they had breakfast.

The carvings on the city gate have a long history. If they really talked about it here, they would probably attract attention.

“Then after we finish our breakfast, let’s get ready to set off. Ma Gu 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 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.”

Since horses were 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 was 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.

 Faintly, 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.

On the city gate, there are three huge inscriptions [Qinglongguan].

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.

“The 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.

 “Many people are going out of quarantine together.”

Wei Zian looked around. At this time, there were at least nearly a thousand people gathered in front of the checkpoint, waiting to exit.

 Many people were in groups, looking like caravans, ranging from more than a dozen people to nearly a hundred people.

 Their carriage was parked here, it was inconspicuous.

But this is exactly what Lu Qing wanted.

  Their carriage was, after all, engraved with formations. Although the formations were now shut down by him, some runes on the carriage could still be seen if one looked 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 profile the better.

 “The city gate is about to open!”

While everyone was waiting, suddenly, someone shouted, which immediately diverted everyone's attention.

Lu Qing also looked towards the city gate.

"ha!"

I saw 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 turned with difficulty. That winch.

 Boom, boom!

With the rotation of the capstan, a crack opened in the middle of the city gate, and the two city gates slowly retreated to both sides.

“Good fellow, even the people who pull the door are all warriors who have reached the realm of muscles and bones or above. No wonder this Qinglong Pass is opened only once every seven days.”

Lu Qing felt the energy erupting from the big men turning the winches, and raised his eyebrows.

Dozens of big men, none of the martial arts cultivation, are dedicated to bone and bones.

 The most powerful one has completely perfected Qi and blood, and is only a thin line away from the inner state.

Such a strong person can live a very prosperous 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 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 make trouble, and everyone is very disciplined.

Lu Qing and 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 arriving in front of the checkpoint.

 “Sir, we want to enter the border!”

Ma Gu stepped forward and smiled at the mighty man who was sitting in front of a table and writing something on 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 pay.”

 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 and private matters and do not accept excess money. If you have any money left over, please take it back.”

Ma Gu took the money bag with a little 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, and his eyes remained silently on the mighty man for a few breaths.

 After paying the entry 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 widths, 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, 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 scene in front of them.

　It took a while before I came back to my 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 at the bottom of a 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 saw that most of the people in front had already started to climb the bridge, so he reminded them.

 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.

So 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, so he had already snuck into Lu Qing’s arms.

“Xiaolian, 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.

This time it was the young master of the Ji family who came to help, so I collected enough money in advance to buy you a place. 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?”

“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 solution.”

“But doesn’t my uncle always hate our family? How could he help?”

"No matter how annoying I am, you are still his niece. If it weren't for him, how could your mother have died? If he dares not to help you, I will go find him in person with your mother's body!"

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, wasn't he the city guard Hu Laosan they had seen when they entered the city yesterday?

Seeing that his daughter was still there, 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. !”

"Dad, don't be angry. I just promise you. If you fail the test, I will ask my uncle."

 Seeing that Hu Laosan was angry, the girl quickly agreed.

 “Just remember it.”

Hu Laosan's expression softened.

Then he smiled at the people who had been silent beside him and said, "Brother Zheng, Brother Liu, Miss Wang, I entrust Xiaolian's safety to you.

This little girl is usually at home and is very pampered. Please forgive me if she gets into trouble 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 safely to Xuanxin Sect...”

As he walked farther and farther, and the sound of rushing water under his feet was masked, Lu Qing gradually couldn't hear what he said next.

But he didn’t care much and continued to hold Xiaoyan and walk forward. (End of chapter)
