Mysterious World: I Have a Lost Heavenly Court

The next day, the sky was bright.

in the courtyard.

Inside a huge wooden barrel that could hold two people was a thick black medicine.

After pouring the last of the necessary medicinal herbs into the bath, Qingyun asked hesitantly, "Young Master, are you sure we don't need to consolidate the treatment for a few more days?"

"When forging the Water and Fire Immortal Robe, the medicinal bath is extremely painful... Moreover, if one's physique is insufficient, the nourishment may not be effective and could even be harmful."

Lu Changqing took off his clothes, revealing his well-defined muscles. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

The previous incident at the mine was temporarily resolved by the cleansing of the infected personnel with the Sha Core he provided.

But now, that shrine to the evil god has reappeared!

They also directly targeted Lu Changqing himself.

This forces him to improve faster!

It's not just about the family anymore.

One's own safety also depends on strength!

Qingyun listened to the young master's words and did not offer any further advice. Instead, she quietly squeezed the various precious pills she had prepared when she got the prescription to repair internal injuries and regulate qi and blood.

...

Smelling the bitter, foul-smelling medicine in the wooden bucket, Lu Changqing removed all his clothes.

Under Qingyun's slightly blushing and shy gaze, he directly immersed himself in the wooden tub.

The warm, viscous medicinal bath instantly enveloped his entire skin.

A burning, tingling sensation enveloped my entire body.

At first, it was just a little itchy.

But when this itching persists and keeps spreading all over the body, it turns into pain.

Mild pain, moderate pain, extreme pain!

In the end, Lu Changqing felt as if countless silver needles were constantly pricking and poking his skin!

But Lu Changqing was completely able to tolerate it!

Having endured the pure yang power and the Iron Armor Fruit, the pain from the medicinal bath was insignificant.

However, in order to forge the Water and Fire Immortal Robe as quickly as possible, Lu Changqing naturally took out all the Iron Armor Fruits from the jade tablet, his arms hanging down in the medicinal bath.

It was crushed in water and then continuously applied to the body.

Finally, he took a deep breath and soaked his scalp in it.

And he smeared iron fruit juice all over his face and scalp as much as possible.

The next moment.

The pain, already caused by countless needle pricks, was now compounded by the excruciating agony of being slashed by swords!

"Waaah—"

A few bubbles rose to the surface of the medicinal bath water.

Lu Changqing felt as if he had fallen into a trial comparable to the refining of pure yang.

He worked hard to regulate his qi and blood, and as Qingyun had instructed, he continuously used the medicinal power entering his body to stimulate his acupoints and skin.

Lu Changqing didn't know how much time had passed, but he gradually noticed that the pain was starting to lessen.

The various unusual pains began to subside.

His skin was slightly itchy, and even without touching it, it felt as if old skin was falling off.

It wasn't until much later, when Lu Changqing, a martial artist at the Skin Refining Realm, could no longer hold his breath, that he suddenly surfaced from the water!

"Splash—"

Lu Changqing opened his eyes and looked down, only to find that the medicinal bath that was originally extremely dark had now become several shades lighter!

If you look closely, you can even see the bottom of the bucket!

He absorbed all the medicinal bath water!

Having thought this through, Lu Changqing had already taken two breaths.

He took another long, deep breath and submerged himself in the water.

This time, he didn't feel any pain; instead, he felt a warm sensation flowing through his body!

Wherever it slides, it gets itchy.

After the itch completely disappeared from head to toe, Lu Changqing felt a cool and comfortable sensation all over his body!

He was startled, and suddenly surfaced from the water again, stood up, and looked down at his arms.

Her skin is so delicate, like that of a newborn baby!

Her skin was as smooth as jade, as if it had been exquisitely sculpted!

Although I haven't tried to see the changes after mastering the skill, it looks very different from before!

"Young Master, you..."

Qingyun, who had been quietly waiting to the side, watched as Lu Changqing stood up from the wooden tub. His skin looked completely refreshed, his pupils contracted, and his voice trembled slightly: "You really succeeded?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changqing couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and said with a smile, "I don't know, I'll have to borrow your spiritual fire from Qingyun."

The so-called "water and fire fairy robes" are just the literal meaning.

It not only protects against knives, spears, and clubs, but also prevents water from penetrating and fire from passing through.

Once this level is reached, ordinary people will no longer be able to harm a martial artist who has mastered the Water and Fire Immortal Robe using conventional methods.

Qingyun took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart, raised her palm, and gathered a spark of fire at her fingertips.

He said, "Young Master, please regulate your qi and blood. I apologize for any offense I may have caused."

Lu Changqing stretched out his arm: "Come on."

Qingyun didn't say anything more, but simply touched Lu Changqing's arm with her hand.

"call--"

Flames rose and coiled around it.

After feeling the flames burning him, Lu Changqing felt a scalding heat swirling around his body. It was quite painful, but completely bearable.

More importantly, the flames gradually died down without burning his arm.

Upon closer inspection, it remained perfectly intact.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

At that moment, Lu Changqing burst into unrestrained laughter, feeling extremely happy.

After enduring so much hardship in the ancient ruins and cultivating in reality for nearly half a month, I have finally succeeded!

More importantly, he has traversed a path that many martial artists could not achieve in three to five years, or even more than ten years!

Upon witnessing this scene, Qingyun took a deep breath, her pupils trembling with shock. At the same time, she congratulated Lu Changqing, saying, "Congratulations, Young Master, on mastering the Water and Fire Immortal Robe! This... Young Master, you are truly a genius, far surpassing all the geniuses in our family."

Lu Changqing smiled but didn't speak. He just thought to himself: Jade tablet, help me break through!

His proficiency with the Hundred Birds Stance was already at the Bone Refining level, but he didn't break through because of the Water and Fire Immortal Robe.

Now that the Water and Fire Immortal Robe is complete, there is no need to remain at the Skin Refining stage.

As he made his decision, a surge of power welled up from his dantian and began to flow through Lu Changqing's limbs and bones.

He only felt a slight pain in his knees, shoulders, and elbows, and a slight vibration in his bones.

"Crack...crack..."

In the past few days, the tonic pills, the dietary supplements, and the medicinal baths he has just taken—all the residual spiritual energy in his body has instantly transformed into abundant blood and qi, nourishing every bone in Lu Changqing's body.

"ah--"

Lu Changqing stretched comfortably, and when he looked around again, he found that the environment had changed.

Everything he could see became clearer.

The tiny insects crawling on the weeds in the corner, the sound of servants pacing back and forth outside the courtyard, and the almost imperceptible pores on Qingyun's face.

He perceived every detail of the environment.

More importantly, his perspective has changed.

He now looked at Qingyun with a lower profile.

The enormous wooden barrel that used to reach his neck now only reaches his shoulders.

He's grown taller.

At the moment of breaking through to the Bone Refinement Realm, his bones received a great deal of nourishment, and his muscles and bones became more relaxed. He grew at least three or four centimeters taller.

"call--"

Exhaling a long breath, Lu Changqing felt that his current strength far surpassed that of the Skin Refining Realm, perhaps even more than double.

As a Qi Refining cultivator, Qingyun also broke through to the Bone Breaking Realm yesterday, so she could clearly feel the changes in Lu Changqing's Qi and blood.

Already shocked and delighted by Lu Changqing's actions, she couldn't help but slightly open her mouth.

"This... Young Master, you even broke through to the Bone Refinement Realm?"

"My God! In all my years of practicing martial arts, this is the first time I've ever seen such a peerless genius as Young Master!"

What she said was not an exaggeration at all.

The history of martial arts in Heishan County can be traced back hundreds of years. There are records of various geniuses who could refine skin into the Water and Fire Immortal Robe in a year, which was already remarkable.

Someone like Lu Changqing is extremely rare, not only in Heishan County, but also in the entire Daqian Dynasty.

Lu Changqing jumped out of the wooden tub and gestured for Qingyun to wipe his body and put on his clothes.

He was extremely satisfied with the changes in himself.

A second-level martial artist is considered an absolute pillar of strength in Heishan County.

With the addition of the Water and Fire Immortal Robe's chains and his own various trump cards, he was no longer the helpless Lu Changqing.

The Zheng family, and the evil spirits who intend to harm me here, just wait!

...

Time flew by, and it was evening.

As the sun sets behind the western mountains, the setting sun casts a golden glow.

Lu Changqing has now fully adapted to the changes in his body.

Just then, his ears twitched as he heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the courtyard.

Before the knocking could even sound, he turned his head to look.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Third Young Master! Third Young Master!"

It was the voice of Lu Erwa, a servant.

Lu Changqing gave Qingyun a look, and Qingyun stepped forward and opened the courtyard gate.

Lu Erwa rushed into the courtyard with a look of anxiety on his face, hurriedly bowed, and then looked up at Lu Changqing in a panic, saying, "Third Young Master, something has happened at the mine, and we're short-handed. Should we send Steward Wu over?"

Lu Changqing's eyes narrowed: "What happened at the mine? Where are my older brother and second sister?"

Lu Erwa succinctly and quickly stated the problem: "The eldest young master went to the county government office last night to explain the situation and hoped that the county officials would cooperate in investigating the matter of the evil spirits. The second young lady is from a Taoist temple, so she went with him."

"Only the eldest young master is at the mine, but today there was an attack by villains, and that strange shrine has reappeared."

"The young master is injured and has been taken to the pharmacy. There's no one available at the mine right now; someone in charge needs to go and keep an eye on him!"

Lu Changqing's eyes narrowed: "Big brother is injured?"

Lu Erwa nodded, a hint of pain in his eyes, and said again, "Yes, the injury is quite serious."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changqing's expression flashed with ruthlessness, and he clenched his right fist.

Amidst a flurry of thoughts, he said, "I'm going to the mine with Uncle Wu."

Qingyun wanted to speak up to stop him, but then she thought that the young master was no longer the same as before.

The footwork he displayed, along with the breakthrough he achieved today, demonstrates his mastery of the Water and Fire Immortal Robe, and he is indeed capable of doing some things for his family.

Thus, Qingyun's thinking underwent a complete transformation:

From simply protecting the young master, to standing shoulder to shoulder with Lu Changqing and facing dangers together.

But Lu Erwa was unaware of these things, so he was taken aback and quickly advised:

"Third Young Master, you... you still need to listen to the Eldest Young Master and the Second Young Miss, and stay home to rest and recover!"

Lu Changqing didn't speak, but just glanced at him sideways.

Under this indifferent gaze, Lu Erwa felt a pang of guilt and quickly lowered his head: "Third Young Master, I didn't mean to influence your thoughts, I was just worried..."

Lu Changqing raised his hand to interrupt him before he could finish speaking: "All I need is your loyalty, Erwa."

"But Lu Ri is my own brother, and the mine is a legacy of the Lu family for over a century. As a member of the Lu family, I have to take care of these two things."

Upon hearing this, Lu Erwa didn't dare to look up, only feeling that the Third Young Master's calm gaze contained a power that made his heart tremble.

Finally, he simply added, "Then, Third Young Master, you should also tell Steward Wu."

Lu Changqing nodded and said, "Let's go see Uncle Wu together, and then we'll go to the pharmacy to check on my brother's injuries."

As Lu Changqing strode out of the courtyard gate, his expression grew increasingly cold.
