Mysterious World: I Have a Lost Heavenly Court

Upon seeing this, Lu Changqing's pupils dilated slightly, but he did not panic.

As he crossed the threshold of the main hall, he focused intently on his surroundings.

The moment that spark flew towards him, Lu Changqing did not hesitate at all. He channeled his spiritual power into the talisman and threw it forward!

"call--"

A strong wind howled, moving faster than a spark!

Upon sensing the strong wind, the sparks in the alchemy furnace darted away like a mouse seeing a cat.

It was surprisingly full of spirituality, and it turned around and tried to run away!

Unfortunately, due to inertia, it was overtaken by a strong wind shortly after it turned around and began to drift away.

"Swoosh—"

A strong gust of wind swept past and struck the lotus platform beneath the distant evil deity statue, creating a small dent.

The spark that was driven by its spiritual nature and instinctively devoured all living beings dimmed slightly under the strong wind, lost its vitality, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Lu Changqing hurriedly approached and grabbed the tiny, faintly glowing object, about the size of a millet grain.

The result was that, the instant his fingers touched it...

He immediately felt a burning sensation!

It looks like they accidentally touched red-hot steel!

Upon closer inspection, I found no burns on my finger.

Can't you even pick it up with your bare hands?

Lu Changqing frowned slightly.

He immediately tore off a piece of cloth from his body and tried again.

This time, he no longer felt that intense heat.

Looking down, the information from the orange-yellow spark came into view.

The Undying Starfire

[Category: Spirit Dust Robe Sect, Spirit Fire Gang, Pill Fire Eye, Starfire Genus.]

[Description: The primordial flame remaining after the Starfire of the Alchemy Chamber was subdued.]

【Effect: Extraordinary fire source, with effects far exceeding ordinary fire. Can be used for crafting, clothing, and throwing.】

Refining weapons can imbue them with pure yang fire power.

Consuming it raw can transform one's physique and blood, generating pure Yang power. One can then continuously consume other components of the "Spiritual Fire Array" to further enhance the purity of this pure Yang. Caution: Consuming this substance is extremely painful; for those with weak willpower, it will bring misfortune rather than fortune, and may even lead to death.

Throwing can be used as a one-time attack method, and it is quite powerful.

Pure Yang Power: Extreme heat makes Qi and blood even more lethal, with extremely significant effects on Yin, evil, ghosts, monsters, and spirits.

[Note: Once a spark of spiritual light in Laozi's furnace, now only untamed wildness remains.]

Upon reading the description, Lu Changqing's heart skipped a beat, and his pupils dilated.

This is definitely a great product!!

At the same time, he immediately ruled out the third option, which was a one-time throwing attack!

How could it be used as a consumable if it can be used to obtain pure Yang power?

That would be a terrible waste!

In an instant.

Lu Changqing thought of several forging methods.

Inner armor, swords... any one of these items would be a top-tier treasure for Black Mountain County, or even for the entire Great Qian Dynasty!

But in the end, he took a deep breath and made up his mind.

swallow!

As the saying goes, the best choice is to possess all the great power.

No matter how rare or exotic the weapon or treasure, nothing is as reassuring as having it yourself!

"If we can find a similar spirit fire in the future, we will forge another powerful weapon."

"Resources are scarce now, and it's uncertain whether we'll encounter such an opportunity again."

"Let's try consuming it first to obtain the so-called 'pure yang power' that can subdue evil spirits!"

Lu Changqing looked at the "millet grain" in his palm and did some mental preparation.

After all, I felt intense burning pain when I just touched it with my fingers.

Now swallow it whole...

It's not hard to tell just from the words in the description.

This is likely to be a tough battle...

Lu Changqing paused for a moment, his eyes hardening. He gritted his teeth, raised his hand, swallowed the sparkle into his mouth, and swallowed it forcefully!

Instantly, a burning pain began to descend down the throat and into the abdomen.

He felt as if he had swallowed several mouthfuls of freshly boiled water, and his body was in excruciating pain!

"Well--"

Lu Changqing's face turned red, his features contorted, and he couldn't help but clutch his abdomen, slowly lying down on the ground, trying to alleviate the pain.

But the effect was minimal...

This kind of pain is far more intense than practicing horse stance or skin training!

He almost fainted!

"No...no...hold on."

"If I really close my eyes and faint, I'll most likely die back in the Great Qian Dynasty..."

"This hard-won treasure, wasted... Hold on, hold on..."

Lu Changqing channeled his spiritual energy and circulated his blood and qi, continuously channeling it into his stomach.

Trying to alleviate that surging, ever-spreading, scalding heat.

To his surprise,

The continuous circulation and regulation of Qi and blood, while not directly alleviating the burning sensation, can divert the burning sensation and direct it throughout the body.

This will help alleviate the pain!

After about ten breaths, Lu Changqing felt somewhat powerless because he was regulating his qi and blood too quickly.

No... there's not enough time.

It will take at least the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to digest this stuff!

Lu Changqing's mind raced, and he suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten the blood mushrooms he had picked earlier!

There was no intention to save money whatsoever.

He took the blood mushroom directly from his spatial storage, not caring about cleanliness or hygiene, and swallowed it in large gulps.

Thus, a massive amount of qi and blood, as hot as boiling water, begins to disperse from the stomach.

A burning pain spread throughout my body.

It's still painful, but it's within a tolerable range.

As time went by.

As Lu Changqing endured the pain, he lost track of how much time had passed.

He noticed that the burning sensation was gradually lessening and weakening...

Until it completely disappears.

"Ha ha--"

After a long while, Lu Changqing was slightly out of breath.

Now he no longer experiences the burning pain inside his body.

Only the coolness after the initial shock subsides.

"No wonder the text description needs to be specially noted."

"It was so painful!"

Fortunately, the outcome was good.

Lu Changqing stood up from the ground, his fists slightly clenched.

Although the amount of qi and blood did not increase.

but...

As his blood and qi circulated, a scorching heat surged from his fist.

Wisps of white smoke rose up, proclaiming the power inherent in the fist!

"Now, I should be naturally able to withstand those evil spirits and demons!"

Lu Changqing raised both hands at the same time, clenched his fists, and felt his blood surging.

Both fists emitted heat at the same time.

This burning passion and fervor now belong to him!

"The good thing is that you can control whether pure Yang energy is integrated into your Qi and blood."

"If outsiders are present later, it can be used as a trump card to prevent it from being exposed."

"Now..."

Lu Changqing lowered his eyes and looked at his heart.

The dark figure had faded to almost invisible after refining the starfire.

Only a few remnants remain, still imprinted there.

Lu Changqing could sense that the dark figure was making a desperate struggle, to the point that he felt as if something was about to burst out of his chest.

"I'll use you to test my pure Yang power!"

As Qi and blood circulate, pure Yang energy emerges!

All of it, guided by Lu Changqing, surged towards his heart.

"Sizzle—"

It sounded like screams, but it also sounded like steam rising from water being poured onto a fire.

The dark mark on his chest gradually became transparent, eventually turning into a shadow that drifted away and disappeared...

Lu Changqing immediately felt the weight on his chest and the tightness in his chest disappear!

Looking down again, he saw the thing that had been bothering him for half a year.

The dark marks that had caused the family so much distress have disappeared!

A wide smile spread across his face, and just as he was about to rejoice, he suddenly heard a piercing scream coming from the billowing black smoke that was about to disappear.

"Ah—you deserve to die, you'll all die soon!!"

Lu Changqing's smile froze, gradually turning into a solemn expression.

This was the first time he had heard the thing that had been branded on his body make a sound.

It can even speak human language.

You will all die...

Does it refer to oneself, or rather, the Lu family?

For a moment, Lu Changqing felt that the pressure had not eased.

The troubles I had were resolved.

However, there has been no progress on the matter at the mine on my elder brother's side.

And then there was the shrine he saw at dusk...

Lu Changqing raised his eyes and looked at the evil Taoist deity statue on the lotus platform.

We still need to strengthen our capabilities!

It has now been improved.

But for the environment they are in, it is far from enough!

...

...

Thick clouds obscured the stars.

Inside Heishan County.

In a dark alley.

A gaunt figure, wearing a hooded robe and unable to see his face clearly, suddenly coughed up black blood.

"Right Protector!"

His companion was lying in the corner, eating something.

Sensing something amiss, he was startled and asked in a hoarse, low voice, "What happened?"

The Right Protector's voice was weak and feeble, clearly due to internal injuries caused by spitting out blood.

"Holy one, the power of the mark bestowed upon me by the Holy One has been broken..."

"Left Protector, have you ever encountered this situation?"

Upon hearing this, the Left Protector rose from the corpse, quickly pulled up his hood, and exclaimed in disbelief, "How could this be?"

"The power of the Holy Temple Lord is something no one else in Black Mountain County can break..."

The Right Protector interrupted his astonished words: "But that's just how it is."

After a moment, he spoke: "Whatever the situation... it all points to one thing: we can't wait any longer."

"They are wary of the Lu family and have hesitated to take direct action."

"Then let's give them another push from behind!"
