Mysterious World: I Have a Lost Heavenly Court

"Young master, be careful!"

Qingyun's pupils contracted slightly when she saw the attack coming again.

Bring two fingers together and point them in the air.

The spirit sword, like a nimble snake, blocked the entrance.

At the same time, she exhaled her natal talisman, and crimson-orange flames immediately enveloped her and Lu Changqing.

Two layers of protection made the entrance to the house completely airtight.

The evil energy surged up, then turned into black smoke, let out a miserable scream, and vanished.

Perhaps they realized that simply doing this would not break through the defenses created by Qingyun.

The shrine to the evil god in the courtyard, as if it had come to life, transformed into a pool of thick black water that seeped into the earth.

The next moment, Lu Changqing's heart stirred slightly, and he looked to his side before Qingyun could.

Thick, black water seeped from the floor inside the house.

An evil shrine appeared right under their noses!

At the same time, a black, malevolent aura burst forth from its bulging, eerie pupils, heading straight for Lu Changqing.

Is this thing targeting me?

As doubts flashed through Lu Changqing's mind, Qingyun beside him also reacted instantly.

And someone even faster than him made the first move!

The spirit sword, which had been hovering at the doorway, flashed a streak of light and slashed at the incoming yin energy once more.

At the same time, Qingyun launched a counterattack!

"Heavenly fire burns everything away, then it falls!"

With a soft shout, the talisman, burning with fire, hurtled towards the strange shrine on the ground.

Sensing the danger of the attack, the shrine instantly transformed into black water once more, causing the talisman's attack to miss its target.

Looking at the scene before her, Qingyun frowned deeply.

At the same time, a thought struck Lu Changqing.

He sensed that the shrine's malevolent and yin energy had diminished after its continuous attacks, reaching a level where he was no longer afraid.

After using this "escape technique," he felt even weaker!

In addition, there is the influence of the pure Yang energy within the body.

This made him extremely sensitive to the malevolent energy emanating from the shrine.

At this moment, Lu Changqing, still ahead of Qingyun, turned his gaze to the courtyard and locked onto the spot where the shrine had previously turned into black water.

Right here, a great opportunity!

Lu Changqing's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately started walking.

He strode forward, and in a flash, leaving an afterimage in his wake, he was already standing in front of the pool of black water.

And just as he arrived, the shrine that had left a black watermark on the ground indeed emerged!

Without any hesitation, Lu Changqing channeled his qi and blood, along with pure yang energy, into his right palm, like a large fishing net, and seized the shrine of the evil god.

The instant he grasped the shrine, a piercing chill ran through his hand!

It's like squeezing a block of ice that's been frozen for a long time in the dead of winter!

My palms are so cold they hurt!

And this intense coldness continued to seep into the depths of his body!

But soon, the coldness was neutralized by the influence of pure Yang energy.

Finally, a piercing scream echoed in Lu Changqing's mind.

At the same time, colorful words appeared in his mind.

[The user uses the essence of the Blood Zombie to refine their flesh and skin, increasing their proficiency in the Hundred Birds Stance by 131.]

【Hundred Birds Stance (518/500)】

[The Hundred Birds Stance proficiency level is maxed out. Does the player wish to break through to the next level?]

[The person encountered a strange creature they had never encountered before, gaining 50 Paranormal Points.]

[The player encounters strange creatures they've never faced before, unlocking the Underworld Catalogue. They can then use Supernatural Points to unlock their abilities.]

As the words on the jade pendant flashed in his mind, Lu Changqing's heart raced.

He can break through the Hundred Birds Stance and enter the second stage of Bone Refinement!

Also, what is this Underworld Atlas? Can its abilities be unlocked by consuming Supernatural Points?

Just then, Qingyun's exclamation came from the side: "Young Master!"

Lu Changqing composed himself, turned his head, and met Qingyun's shocked eyes.

Qingyun was shocked, not for any other reason.

It's because Lu Changqing's movements were just too fast!

The brief outburst caught her off guard.

In Qingyun's eyes, although Lu Changqing did not leave any afterimages in the same spot, he still unleashed a speed that ordinary martial artists in the Skin Refining Realm could not possess!

So she immediately realized that it was the martial arts skills that Steward Wu had taught the young master that had come into play.

No matter how powerful one's martial arts skills are, someone who has only just begun to learn them will certainly not achieve this effect...

In other words, the young master's martial arts skills have broken through in less than ten days!

From beginner to expert!

This is simply unbelievable, considering the entire martial arts community in the county, as well as the people and things that Qingyun has come into contact with and learned about.

Of course, there's also...

Qingyun lowered her eyes and looked at the evil god's shrine that Lu Changqing had captured with his bare hands, her pupils widening in shock.

The young master's surging blood and energy completely suppressed this evil thing!

This shocked her even more!

Because this is something that only her natal spirit talisman, the Supreme Yang True Fire, can barely accomplish!

At this moment, Qingyun couldn't help but murmur again, "Young Master, you've actually become this strong..."

Lu Changqing composed himself, suppressing his excitement and curiosity.

Now is not the time to examine the jade pendant's new abilities in detail.

She looked at Qingyun's shocked face and said, "Strong? If you were really strong, you wouldn't have needed to exert yourself to wear me down earlier."

"However, as you said before, the matter of your breakthrough in footwork still needs to be kept secret for a while longer."

Hearing the young master's words, Qingyun came back to her senses.

Looking at the young master, whose features were now more defined and whose face was more rugged, her mind calmed down completely.

Since the young master was attacked, he seems to have suddenly become enlightened and turned into a true genius.

A genius who is more talented than the second young lady, the eldest young master, and even Qingyun herself.

This is good, and it's important.

But more importantly, the young master is still the young master, and Qingyun is the young master's maid.

Faced with Lu Changqing's instructions, Qingyun nodded earnestly: "Don't worry, young master!"

In her heart, Lu Changqing ranked first.

At this moment, the noise outside the courtyard gradually subsided.

Before long, Lu Ri, accompanied by Lu Yue, the second young lady of the Lu family, and Wu Lin, the steward whose background was unknown but whose abilities were outstanding, strode into the courtyard.

Lu Ri entered the courtyard and, upon seeing Lu Changqing, asked with concern and anxiety, "Little brother, is everything alright here?"

At that moment, he saw the shrine of the evil god that Lu Changqing was holding!

His pupils contracted, and his expression instantly turned furious!

"What is this thing again? What on earth has become so entangled with the Lu family?"

"Little brother, quickly give me this thing, lest you get that mark branded on you again!"

Lu Changqing knew that Lu Ri was on edge, so he didn't say anything and obediently handed over the shrine of the evil god.

At the same time, Lu Yue, the second sister, rushed forward, took out two talismans from her pocket, and without saying anything, slapped them onto Lu Changqing.

After confirming that everything was correct, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Thank goodness, it didn't happen like what others did..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changqing's heart stirred.

"Others? What do you mean, Second Sister? Are there others like me, marked?"

Just then, Lu Yue was about to speak when Lu Ri interrupted her.

"Young man, this has nothing to do with you. What you need to do now is to recover your health."

"I'll have Uncle Wu live next door to you from now on, so Qingyun can contact him immediately if anything happens."

At this moment, Lu Changqing's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but lean forward, grab Lu Ri's arm, and say:

"Brother, there's clearly something going on at home right now, and Mom and Dad aren't here. How can you say this isn't related to us?"

"I am part of the family!"

"I've been practicing Taoism and martial arts these days, but I haven't shown off or caused you any trouble. Now that there's trouble, I can choose not to get involved, but at least I should be informed, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ri's previously tough stance softened.

Seeing Lu Changqing's serious expression and eyes, he finally sighed heavily and explained to Lu Changqing the true situation of the troubles the Lu family had recently encountered.

"This strange shrine first appeared in a certain mine shaft. A miner found it, thought it was some kind of treasure, and took it home."

"Later, his body became weaker and weaker. Until a few days ago, when you just woke up from your coma, he changed. He became like someone who wasn't human, constantly biting and beating the miners around him."

"Anyone bitten by it will develop a black mark on their body similar to the one on your chest after the attack. And so far, among all the people we've encountered, besides you, no one else has been able to alleviate the black mark."

At this moment, Lu Yue also spoke up to add:

"So I also suspect that the reason your black mark was healed, Changqing, is because of the magic talisman from your master."

"Unfortunately, our master has been traveling and has not yet returned, which has resulted in the marks on those miners being... essentially incurable. We are very worried that a similar situation may occur on you again."

Lu Changqing finally understood completely.

At the same time, the question that had been troubling him was also answered.

Why has this shrine reappeared in his yard...?

The black marks cannot be removed by conventional methods.

However, the black mark on his body was gradually erased by the ancient relics.

The person behind this shrine must have their eyes on me!

In an instant, Lu Changqing's earlier relief at the gradually receding troubles at the mine vanished once again.

A tense sense of crisis has returned.

He looked at Lu Ri and asked, "Brother, do you know anything about this shrine? Why did it suddenly appear in our house?"

Lu Ri said, "No, not only do I not understand, but your sister doesn't understand either. This thing is very strange, and based on what has been discovered so far, there is definitely more than one shrine."

As he spoke, he looked at Wu Lin beside him.

Wu Lin understood immediately and took out two more inactive shrines from his pocket, which looked exactly the same as the one that Lu Changqing had captured.

Lu Changqing was quite surprised.

"Could it be the Zheng family?"

Lu Ri shook his head with a sullen face: "I don't know. But I feel that this matter can no longer be suppressed. We need the assistance of the county government to take action, otherwise the longer it drags on, the bigger the trouble may become."

Lu Changqing did not comment on this.

Because of this, he didn't know much about it, and his strength was far inferior to the people in front of him...

After a moment, he spoke earnestly:

"Brother, I'm not completely helpless now. If there are any chores or miscellaneous matters at home, I'd really like to help out if I can."

After hearing this, Lu Ri didn't refuse as he had in the past. "I understand."

"If I need your help later, I'll call you. But until then, you're not allowed to act on your own like before!"

He was referring to the original owner of this body sulking and running away from home alone.

Lu Changqing nodded, indicating that he understood.

After another round of instructions and casual conversation, Lu Ri and the other two left, and the courtyard returned to tranquility.

Lu Changqing recalled all the clues and details since his transmigration, trying to find some key information.

time flies.

Qingyun couldn't help but say, "Young Master, let's go back to our room."

"Tomorrow during the day, Qingyun will accompany the young master in his cultivation. If anything happens at home later, Qingyun will work with the young master to help out!"

Lu Changqing snapped out of his daze, took a deep breath, and nodded.

There's no point in thinking about it now; ultimately, it all comes down to a lack of strength.

Just in time, let's check the information about the jade pendant.

What exactly does "refining blood zombies" mean?

If there is a significant change in strength.

He has to find a way to help!
