He confessed his love for his master in his later years, and his cheat ability finally arrived.

In the quiet room, Lu Changsheng and Princess Taiping sat facing each other on futons.

Swish!

Lu Changsheng waved his hand, and the sandalwood incense sticks inserted in the incense burner were lit.

As wisps of smoke rose, the two of them finally calmed down.

"Dust-Based Boundary Guardian Array, activate!"

Lu Changsheng made a hand seal and threw out a few spirit stones. In an instant, a phantom transparent pillar of light rose up, transforming into an array that enveloped the entire secret chamber.

"Senior, this...this formation..."

Princess Taiping was stunned, her big eyes blinking, her face full of terror:

"This formation is actually a mid-grade Golden Core stage formation!"

A cultivator at only the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage casually managed to create a mid-grade Golden Core stage formation... This...

This is too surreal!

"With this formation in place, even Mu Feng won't be able to break through for a while."

With the formation activated, Lu Changsheng finally felt a little relieved.

The difference in their cultivation levels was too great. Although he knew that even if Mu Feng was bold enough, he wouldn't dare to openly attack him within the Shangyun Heavenly Palace.

It's better to be safe than sorry. What if Mu Feng goes insane and rushes in at the crucial moment of the skill transfer?

"Senior, do you...do you really possess the inheritance of the 'Shangyun Qinggong'?"

Originally, when Lu Changsheng said he would pass on his complete version of "Shangyun Qinggong", Princess Taiping was completely skeptical.

It should be noted that the "Shangyun Qinggong" is the most treasured artifact of the Shangyun Heavenly Palace, and its greatest asset in attracting cultivators from all over the world to join its ranks. Even sect disciples would only receive a portion of it after breaking through a realm; it was impossible for them to pass on the complete "Shangyun Qinggong" to others all at once.

Even for powerful figures like the five palace masters, the "Shangyun Qinggong" is only taught up to the Spirit Emperor Realm or even the Great Saint Realm. It is absolutely not taught to the Quasi-Emperor Realm or the Emperor Realm, otherwise the sect would worry about not being able to control it.

However, Lu Changsheng said that he could teach him the complete version of "Shangyun Qinggong", which could lead to becoming a Great Emperor.

This is something even the major branch palace masters couldn't do. How could he, a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator and a newly promoted outer disciple, possibly...?

Seeing that Lu Changsheng did not speak, but instead closed his eyes to rest.

Princess Taiping breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself:

"Perhaps it was to comfort me, or perhaps the senior possessed a portion of the Shangyun Qinggong's inheritance."

"No matter what, as long as I can obtain part of the Foundation Establishment stage of the Shangyun Qinggong, I will have a chance to successfully establish my foundation. I will make plans for the subsequent cultivation methods later."

Having made up her mind, Princess Taiping focused her attention, looking at Lu Changsheng with anticipation, hoping only to obtain the Foundation Establishment stage's "Shangyun Qinggong" inheritance...

Swish! !

Lu Changsheng, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. Before Princess Taiping could react, he put his index and middle fingers together and pointed at her between the eyebrows.

Tiny specks of light gathered at the fingertips and instantly invaded the space between his eyebrows.

boom!

Just as the light from the fingertip was about to penetrate Princess Taiping's sea of ​​consciousness, a lotus flower mark reappeared between her eyebrows, and an invisible barrier suddenly appeared, attempting to prevent the light from invading her sea of ​​consciousness.

Previously, when Dao Gong Mu Feng used the "Eternal Regret Finger Technique" on Lu Changsheng, Princess Taiping wanted to block this fatal blow for Lu Changsheng, and this lotus flower mark appeared between her eyebrows.

Now that she has reappeared and is protecting her master on her own, it seems that Princess Taiping has also had some extraordinary encounters and secrets.

"Calm your mind and do not resist."

Lu Changsheng offered a reminder but did not ask any further questions or delve into the matter.

Everyone has secrets, including himself.

"Okay...okay, senior!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Taiping quickly composed herself and controlled the lotus mark between her eyebrows to gradually fade away.

The importance of the sea of ​​consciousness to cultivators is self-evident. If a person's sea of ​​consciousness is controlled or manipulated by others, their memories can be read and their soul searched. Even worse, they can become a puppet to be manipulated, living a life worse than death.

The lotus mark appeared in the sea of ​​consciousness, also for self-protection.

Princess Taiping trusted Lu Changsheng completely, without any reason.

As the lotus mark slowly dissipated, the light at the fingertip successfully invaded Princess Taiping's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Senior, please don't feel pressured. I only wish to obtain the Foundation Establishment stage of the 'Shangyun Qinggong'. As for the subsequent cultivation methods, that's up to me. I believe..."

Boom!

Princess Taiping's voice abruptly stopped as the light that had invaded her consciousness exploded, transforming into a massive amount of information that completely overwhelmed her entire consciousness.

"The 'Shangyun Qinggong'! It really is the 'Shangyun Qinggong'!"

Princess Taiping wept with joy, diligently absorbing the vast amount of information appearing in her sea of ​​consciousness while murmuring to herself.

"Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation Techniques! Golden Core Stage Cultivation Techniques! Nascent Soul Stage Cultivation Techniques! Deity Transformation Stage Cultivation Techniques!"

"Spirit King stage cultivation techniques! Spirit Emperor stage cultivation techniques! Great Sage stage cultivation techniques... Heavens!"

"A Quasi-Emperor Stage Cultivation Technique!"

"A Great...Great Emperor-level cultivation technique!"

After refining the information transformed from the entire point of light, Princess Taiping was so shocked that she was speechless.

"My senior didn't lie to me! My senior really didn't lie to me!"

"He really taught me the complete 'Shangyun Qinggong'! As long as I have enough talent, I can completely rely on this technique to break through to the Emperor Realm and become a Great Emperor!"

"It's laughable that Elder Mu Feng and Zhao Ke dared to threaten you with the Foundation Establishment stage's 'Shangyun Qinggong'! How could they have known that you had already mastered the complete 'Shangyun Qinggong,' a skill that even the major palace masters hadn't mastered!"

"Like a frog in a well, how can it know the vastness of the sky and the expanse of the earth? How laughable! How laughable!"

After the initial shock, Princess Taiping quickly calmed herself and began to carefully study and comprehend the meaning...

Outside, Lu Changsheng, having completed the transfer of power, breathed a sigh of relief.

After getting up and pouring himself a cup of hot tea, he looked at Princess Taiping, who was meditating with her eyes closed, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

In this way, it can be considered a reciprocal gesture.

How did Lu Changsheng obtain the complete version of "Shangyun Qinggong"?

No need to think about it!

There is only one possible answer!

This "Shangyun Qinggong" was passed down to Lu Changsheng by his master, Ji Jiufeng, who, even knowing that Lu Changsheng could not cultivate it before, still did not hold it back.

This woman's love for him was beyond words.

That's the complete version of "Shangyun Qinggong"!

The full version!

It allows direct access to the Great Emperor!

Furthermore, without any restrictions, Lu Changsheng could freely pass on the inherited cultivation technique to others after obtaining it.

The "Shangyun Qinggong" that Lu Changsheng taught Princess Taiping, although it was the complete version, was subject to a certain restriction by utilizing the power of the Devouring Heaven Cauldron within her body.

After Princess Taiping received the martial arts technique, she could practice it on her own, but she could not pass it on to others.

Even if a powerful cultivator forcibly searches the soul, it cannot be obtained.

This is Lu Changsheng's promise and protection to Ji Jiufeng and Shangyuntian Palace.

Even so, the value of the complete version of "Shangyun Qinggong" is immeasurable.

Looking across the entire Shangyun Heavenly Palace, there is no one else besides the Sect Leader and the Deputy Palace Master!

This includes the heads of several branch palaces, and even the Supreme Elders.

How did Master Ji Jiufeng obtain the complete "Shangyun Qinggong"? It was taught to her by the Sect Leader, Supreme Yun Quezi!

This is certainly against the rules, and even shows that Yun Quezi is ignoring the sect's rules and regulations.

As they were both palace masters, only Ji Jiufeng received this honor.

Lu Changsheng didn't know why Yun Quezi, who always regarded the rules and regulations of the sect as her life, had broken the rules in this matter, but this old geezer really had nothing to say to her master Ji Jiufeng.

If Yun Quezi hadn't been so detached from worldly desires and had long since severed all emotions and passions, showing no interest in women, Lu Changsheng would have thought...

Setting down his cup, Lu Changsheng stood up and looked at Princess Taiping, who was cultivating.

He naturally had no shortage of cultivation techniques, nor did he practice the "Shangyun Qinggong". After the Devouring Cauldron awakened, the spirit of the cauldron, Old Devourer, disliked the "Shangyun Qinggong" for its slow absorption of spiritual energy and its effeminate manner. So, he taught Lu Changsheng an even more terrifying and profound technique, the "Devouring Heaven Demon Technique", which could devour all spiritual energy and power in the world and refine it for his own use.

Unrivaled in dominance!

"The most important thing right now is to awaken the Devouring Heaven Cauldron, and the fastest way to do that is to acquire a large number of spirit stones!"

Lu Changsheng was not in a hurry to cultivate, because for him, awakening the spirit of the Devouring Heaven Cauldron would be of the greatest help.

He is already at the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage. Even if he makes another breakthrough in a short period of time, he will still be at the Qi Refining stage.

However, once the Devouring Heaven Cauldron is awakened, it will be a true trump card, enabling it to contend with an old monster like Mu Feng who has reached the Golden Core stage.

"Having absorbed so many spirit stones, the spirit of the Devouring Heaven Cauldron should be on the verge of awakening. I can feel it; it's just a little bit away! Just a little bit more!"

Looking inward at the Devouring Cauldron lurking deep within his dantian, constantly emitting black energy, Lu Changsheng felt a sudden sense of peace.

Compared to the previous silence, which was a complete lack of response, this time, the cauldron's mouth could not only swallow and exhale black air currents, but Lu Changsheng could also mobilize part of the Devouring Heaven Cauldron's power to set up a restriction on the "Shangyun Qinggong" passed on to Princess Taiping. This was a world of difference.

"I have quite a few magical treasures and cultivation techniques, but I can't exchange them for spirit stones."

After a moment's thought, Lu Changsheng remembered the method he had previously considered, and his eyes lit up:

"This is the only way!"

Having said that, he reached out and beckoned.

The Qiankun bag burst out with a bright light, and four or five glowing spiritual plants floated in mid-air.

"As the Devouring Heaven Cauldron previously stated, I possess an innate Dao body, naturally drawn to the Great Dao of the world, and can comprehend cultivation techniques at a glance!"

"In that case, it seems that comprehending the path of alchemy is also the same!"

Lu Changsheng took out the most common and essential "Qingling Pill" formula from his Qiankun bag and began to study and comprehend it carefully.

One breath!

Two breaths!

Three...

"Okay, I've completely grasped it!"

Putting away the Qingling Pill prescription, Lu Changsheng looked at the four spiritual plants floating in front of him and rubbed his hands together.

"To become an alchemist, one must possess two major spiritual roots: fire and wood. A fire spiritual root allows one to control flames, while a wood spiritual root allows one to perceive the attributes of spiritual plants. Neither can be lacking."

"I possess all spiritual roots, so becoming a mere alchemist is naturally beyond my capabilities."

After saying that, Lu Changsheng stretched out his left hand, and fire-attribute spiritual power gathered, instantly causing a ball of blazing flame to rise in his palm.

"According to the recipe for the Qingling Pill, four kinds of spiritual plants are needed to refine it: Qingling Grass, Hibiscus Flower, Blackwood Vine, and Determination Seed."

"Fortunately, these four kinds of spiritual plants are quite common, and Ge Qing has quite a few in his storage bag. It's just a pity he doesn't have a pill-refining furnace..."

Refining pills requires the assistance of an alchemy furnace, which greatly increases the success rate and improves the quality of the pills.

However, since it is an auxiliary item, it is not essential.

If it's not there, it's not there. Lu Changsheng believed that in the face of absolute talent, alchemy was as easy as playing with mud.

"Clear Spirit Grass!"

"Hibiscus!"

With his left hand, Lu Changsheng controlled the flames, while with his right hand, he continuously manipulated spiritual energy to refine the spiritual plants by throwing them into the flames according to their temperature.

"Blackwood Vine!"

boom!

When the third spiritual plant was added to the flames, the flames were not controlled properly, breaking the balance of the medicinal power and causing an explosion that scattered the flames from the palm.

"I underestimated the art of alchemy. To become an alchemist, one needs not only to control flames and understand the properties of medicines, but also to master the delicate balance between various energies."

"Hmm, it's more difficult than I imagined."

With a wave of his hand, several more spiritual plants flew out of the Qiankun bag.

"Again!!"

Having learned from the failure of the first attempt, Lu Changsheng's control over the flames was clearly more mature in his second attempt at alchemy.

"Clear Spirit Grass!"

"Hibiscus!"

"Blackwood Vine!"

Without hesitation, Lu Changsheng refined three spiritual plants in one go and added a fourth spiritual plant with a wave of his right hand.

"Make up your mind, go!"

When the fourth spiritual plant was thrown into the flames to be refined, the medicinal liquid, which combined the four spiritual plants, continued to evaporate and rise. The violent energy rampaged through the flames, and the energy was on the verge of imbalance several times, but fortunately, Lu Changsheng forcibly controlled it.

When the medicinal liquid was almost ready, Lu Changsheng formed a hand seal, his eyes slightly sharpening:

"Condense the Cleansing Spirit Pill for me!"

Swish! !

The flames in his left palm dissipated, and four round, clear spirit pills lay peacefully in his palm.

"Alchemy is indeed much harder than playing with mud. I tried twice before I succeeded. No wonder alchemists are so rare and have such a noble status..."

Before Lu Changsheng could finish speaking, he turned around and saw Princess Taiping staring at his old face with wide eyes and her mouth half open, her expression full of disbelief.

"Senior, you...you..."

He stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

They looked like they'd seen a ghost...
