Chapter 245: Chapter 181: Refining the Sword Embryo, A Bizarre Misunderstanding
On the hillside, within the trees.
Lu Qing looked at the corpse of “Shadow” as it slowly ceased to breathe, falling into silence.
The words Shadow spoke before dying echoed in his mind.
“Mr. Lu Qing, I have told you everything I could, but I advise you not to rush towards revenge. In Seven Killings Tower, there are assassins stronger than me; several of the most crucial strongholds have elders of the Innate Realm stationed.
Mr. Lu Qing, your Martial Arts Talent is unparalleled, and your future is boundless. In time, you will surely grow into a great Martial Arts titan.
Then it would be easy to take control of the Seven Killings Tower.
Sadly, I won’t be able to see that day…”
Lu Qing could feel that Shadow had harbored great resentment towards Seven Killings Tower in his final moments.
That’s why he revealed all he knew about the Seven Killings Tower.
It was unknown what brutal acts the Seven Killings Tower had committed against Shadow, to make him, a disciple, completely disloyal to his sect and wish for its total destruction.
He recalled the Heavenly Orphan, who had tried to assassinate Young Master Wei and had also given him advice before dying.
It seemed these assassins from the Seven Killings Tower were quite intriguing.
Perhaps by assassinating others frequently, they had long been prepared to face death.
When facing their own deaths, they all appeared quite calm.
However, although Lu Qing’s impression of these assassins had slightly changed, enemies remained enemies.
Lu Qing would not spare Shadow’s life just for that reason.
With his capabilities, it wouldn’t have been difficult to heal Shadow’s injuries,
but showing mercy to an enemy was cruelty to oneself.
From the moment Shadow had decided to try and assassinate him, it had been determined that only one of them would survive.
Lu Qing was not so merciful as to forgive someone who tried to kill him.
Realizing through his Superpower that Shadow was indeed dead,
Lu Qing briefly searched the body, taking some useful items into the Qiankun Qi Bag, then he found a spot to bury the corpse, letting it rest in peace, and preventing it from being exposed in the wilderness.
After finishing all this, he took Little Li, who had been hiding in the shadows, and headed home.
Previously, he had kept Little Li hidden just in case,
so that if the enemy was too strong and he couldn’t handle it, he would still have a backup plan.
But clearly, he had been overly cautious.
Arriving home, Lu Qing took out the items he had retrieved from Shadow.
After checking them, he found there weren’t many useful things.
Aside from some gold and silver items, and gold and silver notes, there were only a few things of real value.
Two medicine bottles, a set of soft armor, and that short sword smeared with potent poison of the Thousand Refinement Level.
Inside the two medicine bottles, one contained poison, and the other contained Elixirs for cultivation in the Inner Organs Realm.
However, aside from the Elixir for the Inner Organs Realm, the rest were not very useful to Lu Qing. They could be given as gifts later, which was not a bad way to establish goodwill.
Lu Qing felt a bit regretful.
Neither with the Heavenly Orphan nor with Shadow had he found any Secret Manuals.
Honestly, he was quite interested in the Bone and Muscle Changing Technique of the Seven Killings Tower.
Though with his current realm, his control over his Physical Body had reached a very high level.
It wasn’t difficult to temporarily change his appearance,
but achieving the seamless disguise of another person, perfectly coordinated without any flaws, as the Heavenly Orphan had done before, was extremely difficult.
Sadly, it was clear that there was some restriction by the Seven Killings Tower, probably not allowing its assassins to carry Secret Manuals on them in order to prevent leaking of various secret techniques that were crucial to their foundation.
Not finding anything particularly useful, Lu Qing casually stored the items and then, carrying a fish bucket, he took Little Li to the Half Mountain Small Courtyard.
“Brother, Little Li, you’re back!”
Arriving at Half Mountain Small Courtyard, Little Yan, who had been reciting from a book in the yard, immediately put the book down and ran over, jumping around.
“Yep, how about it? Did you memorize today’s text?” Lu Qing asked with a smile.@@novelbin@@
Little Li then jumped into Little Yan’s arms, enjoying her caress.
“I memorized it. Brother, how was the fishing? Did you catch any Strange Fish?”
Little Yan knew that Lu Qing had gone fishing mainly because Little Li had recently been craving Strange Fish a lot, throwing tantrums and wanting to eat, so he had gone out fishing early in the morning.
“I caught some, and even several.”
As the siblings talked in the courtyard, Elder Doctor Chen came out from the house.
His expression quite serious as he looked at Qing, “Ah Qing, what was that earlier?”
Clearly, the elder doctor had sensed the fluctuations from the earlier battle between Lu Qing and “Shadow.”
After all, Half Mountain Small Courtyard wasn’t too far from that mountain.
“Just a petty member of the Seven Killings Tower, already taken care of by the disciple,” Lu Qing replied casually.
Elder Doctor Chen nodded, not inquiring further about what happened to the assassin from the Seven Killings Tower.
He himself disliked taking human lives, but he wouldn’t demand his disciple to do the same.
Moreover, he particularly disapproved of powers like the Seven Killings Tower, which recklessly assassinated other’s lives.
“Although nothing went wrong this time, you should still be careful on a daily basis,” the elder doctor advised.
“Disciple understands,”
Lu Qing nodded, then added: “Master, I was quite lucky this morning and caught several Red Moon Carps. Since last time we sold the Red Moon Carp and couldn’t taste it ourselves, why don’t we try the flavor of one of the world’s top ten delicacies tonight?”
“You caught several Red Moon Carps?” Elder Doctor Chen was very surprised, “Has the Red Moon Carp become so easy to catch nowadays?”
What do you think?
