This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 553: Chapter 46 A Play

Lu Qingshan let out a long breath. With Xia Daoyun speaking up for him, even if Marquis Luotang was reluctant to accept this outcome, and others might harbor various thoughts, they were now irrelevant to him.

None dared to make things difficult for him.

Lu Qingshan turned around and left the arena.

The cultivators who watched the battle were still immersed in the previous fight, the figures of the two contenders confronting each other on the platform as if their shadows lingered before their eyes, until Lu Qingshan’s figure disappeared inside the Heavenly Sin Martial Hall. Only then did they suddenly awaken to reality.

The Deputy City Lord of Hidden Sun City, who had also come to watch the battle, sighed in shock and emotion, “I only knew Sword Sect disciples were outstanding, but today I realized just how extraordinary they can be.

Lu Qingshan should be within the top five, perhaps even the top three on the Yellow List. After this battle, all doubts regarding his strength should vanish.

‘A pair of prodigies from the same sect’, and they were both picked up from the Seven Domains debates—Sword Sect has indeed made a fortune!”

“A pair of prodigies… but that Ji Chuan, after all, is in his thirties, and Lu Qingshan, he…”

Everyone was astonished, preoccupied with discussing Lu Qingshan’s strength; they had momentarily neglected his age.

The Sword Sect does not have a fixed time for recruiting disciples. As long as there are suitable Sword Cultivator seeds, the doors of the Sword Sect would open for them.

Therefore, they were not particularly clear about the exact age of Ji Chuan, knowing only that he was at most thirty-five, or possibly only twenty-eight or twenty-nine.

But Lu Qingshan was different.

As a grassroots Sword Cultivator who entered the Sword Sect through the Seven Domains debates, his age was clearly identified during the qualification testing phase.

After a bit of calculation, they concluded that this rising star of the Sword Sect, who was soon to gain fame and prestige, was only twenty years old this year.

How could this not be astonishing and staggering?

“At my age, I truly have been living like a dog,” a Sword Cultivator from Great Xia self-mockingly said from the spectator seats.

Ling Yao, who was also among the spectators, was sort of lost in thought, when suddenly something occurred to her, and she pouted, “The gap between him and me is getting wider and wider. I’ve just advanced to the Nascent Soul, yet he’s already among the strongest in the Nascent Soul Cultivators…”

“Let’s go,” Lin Yao’s voice suddenly reached her ears, “let’s go meet an old acquaintance together.”

This was their purpose for coming here.

Ling Yao quickly gathered her thoughts and followed Lin Yao with brisk steps.

…

After leaving the Heavenly Sin Martial Hall, the matter of the platform battle was soon put out of Lu Qingshan’s mind.

A Body Cultivator in the late stage of Void Refining, at the moment, could still be considered a strong opponent.

But Lu Qingshan understood that it wouldn’t take long for the late stage of Void Refining to become insignificant to him, so why bother dwelling on it?

He began to organize his future Cultivation plans in his mind.

Currently, the Experience Points were more than sufficient, although one can never have too much of it. However, there was no need to deliberately seek out more.

His priority was Intent.

In the Nascent Soul Stage, Intent is valued over Spells.

Cultivation techniques at this realm in fact took a backseat, with Intent being of utmost importance.

Besides, during the spare time of improving his Intent, he could also perfect his combat system.

Generally speaking, his Skill System was already complete, but that didn’t mean there was no room for improvement.

The most conspicuous issue was that with such a powerful weapon as his Primordial Spirit Attack from the Control Realm at his disposal, he found himself in a peculiar situation during battle—the Mana was depleted, yet the Divine Soul still had excess strength.

He practiced four Taoisms, with his Spiritual Power and Qi being particularly pure and vigorous, which normally wouldn’t lead to such a situation.

Regrettably, his Primordial Spirit Realm was even more formidable, breaking through to the Control Realm while merely at the Nascent Soul Stage.

This was undoubtedly a waste.

For Primordial Spirit Attacks, he already possessed the Pupil Skill Xiezhi, but this spell was too consuming and powerful, only fit as a trump card and not suitable for regular combat.

Therefore, he intended to choose another Primordial Spirit Attack Spell to cultivate.

As for how to find it, and which one to choose, Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, not at all troubled.

For such issues, why not just consult Xia Daoyun?

As he thought this, Lu Qingshan suddenly heard Xia Daoyun’s voice in his ear, “It seems someone is looking for you. Go and deal with it first, then come to find me, haha…”

Lu Qingshan was surprised.

Someone looking for me?

Also, why did it feel like there was a subtle glee of someone watching a play hidden in Xia Daoyun’s words?

An illusion?

While musing, he saw the silhouettes of two women approaching from behind and appearing in his field of vision.

The woman on the right, who looked lively and lovely, seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

But for the moment, Lu Qingshan couldn’t quite remember her identity and name.

The woman on the left, her face covered by a thin veil, revealing only her eyes, was recognized by Lu Qingshan immediately.

“Lin Yao, what brings you here?” Lu Qingshan asked as the two approached.

“My junior sister and I heard that you were going to face Luo Yi at the Heavenly Sin Martial Hall. Since Heavenly Secret Pavillion is not far from the Hidden Sun City where the Martial Hall is located, we decided to…” Lin Yao’s eyes flickered as she softly explained.

Lu Qingshan nodded in understanding and then, out of courtesy, turned to Ling Yao beside her, “May I know how to address this junior sister?”

Then, Lu Qingshan found that Lin Yao’s junior sister, for some reason, flushed red with anger at his question, glaring at him as if she could bite him, her little fangs grinding together.

This left Lu Qingshan somewhat baffled.
