chapter xvi - forty-two years

　　This man had come after him, and there was no way he would let go. 　　It was just that the news from him was unknown whether it was good or bad. 　　Thinking in his heart, he had already reached Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu. 　　Only to see Lu Qingyu's eyes glowing, excitedly asked, "Big brother, just now that is what martial arts, so powerful!" 　　Lu Qingshan did the same. 　　It wasn't their fault, it was really because the 'Cloak Blade Technique' that Lu Qingfeng had just performed was too sharp. Five Fetal Breath 1st and 2nd level, skilled and good martial artists were actually decapitated without walking through a few glances in Lu Qingfeng's hands. 　　It was too shocking. 　　"Cloak Blade Technique." 　　"If you guys want to learn it, big brother will teach it to you in a couple days." 　　Lu Qingfeng laughed. 　　[Technique: Cloak Blade Technique] 　　[Grade: low rank, total of two layers] 　　[Diffractive Technique: Four times strengthening] 　　[Description: the more subtle blade techniques in mundane martial arts, after strengthening, the power increases greatly] 　　In order to match the Nine Ring Blade in his hand, Lu Qingfeng had purposely searched for the 'Cloak Blade Technique' in The Flood. After five long years of diligent learning and practicing, it finally played a definitive role in reality. 　　The Cloak Wind Blade Technique, which was not inferior to the Lifeless Blade Technique, after Lu Qingfeng had strengthened it four times, the degree of subtlety was comparable to that of the world's first-rate Blade Technique masterpieces. 　　Lu Qingfeng, who was only at the 1st level of Fetal Breath, in a few shots, had chopped five good fighters of the Gui Zhen Sect, who were at least at the 1st level of Fetal Breath, and among them, there were also those who were at the 2nd level of Fetal Breath, to death! 　　But he himself was still intact. 　　"Cloak Blade Technique!" 　　"What an awesome name!" 　　"Big brother, I want to learn it!" 　　Lu Qingyu was completely unaffected by the five corpses not far away, his mind was on the Cloak Saber Technique. He only thought about how awesome and powerful he would be after practicing this blade technique. 　　Lu Qingshan, on the other hand, thought a little more. 　　These days. 　　They had been living quite comfortably here, and thought that the Return to Truth Sect had given up tracking them, not realizing that the enemy had come so unexpectedly. 　　It was good that big brother was too strong to be captured alive. 　　"Big brother, is it someone from the Returning Truth Sect?" Lu Qingshan asked in a deep voice. 　　"Not bad." 　　Lu Qingfeng nodded his head and said with a serious face, "The Return to Truth Sect has already discovered this place, we have to move!" 　　Seeing Lu Qingshan's face suddenly whiten, Lu Qingfeng added, "But don't worry, the Return to Truth Sect clashed with a large sect to the east some days ago, and both sides are in the middle of a big battle. Those who were able to be assigned to hunt us down are all small minions." 　　This was the information that Lu Qingfeng had gotten from the man just now. 　　It was said that a decade ago, the Gui Zhen Sect had somehow clashed with a large sect in a neighboring county. In a short period of time, it had developed into a large-scale battle. The experts in the sect had come out in full force and had little energy left to track the three of them. 　　However, the head of the Penalty Hall had not yet given up, and had sent out the Penalty Hall's peripheral law enforcement team, which was still searching for them. Those five people just now were the disciples of the Peripheral Enforcement Team. 　　"That's okay." 　　Lu Qingshan was slightly relieved, but it was still better to hurry up and move. 　　There were no more words to catch up. 　　The three of them immediately packed their bags. 　　"It's time to learn the art of talisman refining as soon as possible!" 　　Lu Qingfeng mused in his heart. 　　Originally, he had thought of mastering a few more types of pills and turning his head to study the art of talismans. But right now, the pursuing soldiers had arrived, drawing talismans was imminent. 　　The good thing is that the refining of the Yellow Dragon Pill has been completely mastered, and in reality, it can also rapidly grow in cultivation, so the following types of pills will be put aside for the time being. 　　...... 　　"The modulation of the Fire Spirit Dan Sand?" 　　"Why are you asking this?!" 　　Daoist Huang Luo frowned slightly as he stared at Lu Qingfeng. 　　"I've recently been interested in drawing talismans, so I want to try to debug my own Dan Sand." Lu Qingfeng laughed. 　　Five years had passed! 　　Counting the previous four years. 　　Lu Qingfeng's reincarnation and rebirth in this life had grown to twenty-five years old. 　　The slight change in appearance was secondary. 　　With the 'Qingfeng Alchemist' producing the two improved versions of the Grain Resisting Pill and the Yellow Dragon Pill entering the market, they were a huge hit. 　　Although Lu Qingfeng was still only a low-level alchemy apprentice, his reputation spread in the small area of Black Sand Town, almost no less than that of the high-level runic alchemy apprentice, Daoist Huang Luo, who had operated for decades. 　　Even amongst the Fetal Breath Realm cultivators, Lu Qingfeng was far more sought after than Daoist Huang Luo. 　　After he had cooperated with the Imperial City Guild, his reputation had grown quite a bit more. 　　However, Lu Qingfeng's friendship with Daoist Huang Luo had deepened over the past few years. 　　Daoist Huang Luo was extremely disapproving of him for 'not doing his job', and this time, if he hadn't encountered a problem while modulating the Dan Sand, Lu Qingfeng was afraid that he wouldn't have told Daoist Huang Luo about this matter. 　　Sure enough! 　　After hearing Lu Qingfeng's words, Daoist Huang Luo's eyes glared roundly, reaching out and pointing at Lu Qingfeng in disbelief, ''You don't do a good job as a 'Qingfeng Master', what kind of talisman are you drawing! Modulating what kind of Dan Sand?!" 　　Daoist Huang Luo felt that Lu Qingfeng was crazy. 　　These past few years, he had watched Lu Qingfeng waste a large amount of time on alchemy and that was fine. However, he didn't expect that now he actually wanted to be distracted from learning to draw talismans! 　　Ordinary cultivators, no matter if it was alchemy or talisman, it was already not easy to master one thing. Lu Qingfeng was able to achieve a little success in alchemy, making Daoist Huang Luo somewhat surprised. 　　However, the depth of talisman refining, the paths in it were no less than alchemy. 　　Where would an ordinary person get so much energy? 　　"Big Brother Huang, I know the limits." Lu Qingfeng was still smiling. 　　Seeing this, Daoist Huang Luo couldn't help but shake his head, "Forget it, I can't help but know your donkey temper! I just hope that you don't regret it when your lifespan is about to end." 　　Saying this, Daoist Huang Luo took out a few jade slips from the cloth bag on his waist and threw them to Lu Qingfeng. 　　Lu Qingfeng hastily took them. 　　The Detailed Explanation of the Modulation of the Six Common Dan Sand! 　　Detailed Explanation of the Refining of Psychic Talisman Pens! 　　The Basics of Talisman Paper! 　　The Complete Book of Low-grade Talismans! 　　"Since you want to learn talisman refining, these are the basics. But the refining of dan sand, talisman pens, and talisman paper, a little understanding will do. If you're really interested in concentrating on talisman refining, there's no need to waste your energy when you buy all kinds of materials in the market." Daoist Huang Luo reminded. 　　"Many thanks, Big Brother Huang." 　　Lu Qingfeng hurriedly thanked him. 　　Daoist Huang Luo was a Senior Talisman Refining Apprentice with a lot of experience, with him guiding the way, learning Talisman Refining could always take a lot less detours. In reality, the pursuers of the Returning Truth Sect could arrive at any time, learning the art of talisman as soon as possible would give him one more hope of surviving. 　　"Sort of repaying your favor for helping me match up with the Imperial City Guild!" Daoist Huang Luo said unconcernedly. 　　"It's just a favor." Lu Qingfeng laughed. 　　Imperial City Guild! 　　This was one of the six top guilds in Black Sand Town, although it wasn't backed by a big mountain like the Broken Armies Guild, Ten Thousand Laws Union and Sword Immortal Guild, it was no less powerful than these three guilds in Black Sand Town. 　　It was also the only guild without a background amongst the six top guilds in Black Sand Town. 　　The quality of Lu Qingfeng's refined Grain Resisting Pills and Yellow Dragon Pills was a huge cut above similar pills. Once they were released, word of mouth quickly spread. 　　First, it was a hot commodity in the bazaar, followed by attracting many guilds to pull in and cooperate. 　　In the end, Lu Qingfeng picked the Imperial City Guild, which had the strongest strength and also the best reputation, to establish a long-term cooperation- 　　The pills he refined were provided to the Imperial City Guild, while the Imperial City Guild purchased these pills at a fixed price and was responsible for collecting all kinds of herbs for Lu Qingfeng. 　　Because of Lu Qingfeng's outstanding attainments in refining low-level pills, it was of extraordinary significance for the Imperial City Guild to attract newbie players to join. Therefore, Lu Qingfeng's proposal to match up the Imperial City Guild with Daoist Huang Luo to form a cooperation was agreed upon after a slight examination. 　　For Daoist Huang Luo, cooperating with a great power like the Imperial City Guild, the talismans he drew would have no worries about sales, and the various materials would have no worries about their sources, so he didn't know how much effort he would save. 　　Naturally, it was a great favor. 　　"I just mentioned this matter of the Imperial City Guild in passing, it's still Brother Huang's high caliber, it has nothing to do with me." Lu Qingfeng smiled before departing from the bazaar. 　　After his daily cultivation and alchemy, he came to the bazaar to practice. Afterward, after cooperating with the Imperial City Guild, there was no need to set up stalls to sell pills, and his habit of coming to the bazaar to hang out remained unchanged. 　　Sort of combining work and rest, the efficiency increased rather than decreased! 　　Leaving the bazaar, Lu Qingfeng returned to his residence. 　　With his current wealth, he was completely able to stake out a pretty good compound in Black Sand Town to use as a residence. 　　Stepping into the quiet room, he took out the several jade slips given to him by Daoist Huang Luo and entered them into the attribute panel one by one. 　　Then he started his research from the "Detailed Explanation of the Six Common Dan Sand Modulations". 　　Drawing talismans, for ordinary cultivators, they might skip the three processes of modulating dan sand, boiling talisman paper, and refining talisman pens. 　　But Lu Qingfeng couldn't. 　　There were no ready-made Dan Sand, talisman paper, or talisman pens in reality, and he had to master the production methods for all of these. 　　Among them, Dan Sand was a natural mineral, large red in color, with an adamantine luster to metallic luster. After grinding it into powder form, it could have subtle changes through different modulation techniques, applicable to various talisman schools or talisman categories. 　　Lu Qingfeng first started with the modulation of the Dan Sand, and then went further to talisman paper and talisman pen production. 　　Time passed without realizing it. 　　In the blink of an eye. 　　Forty-two years had passed since Lu Qingfeng practiced drawing talismans. 　　......
