In the next few days, there was no wind or rain in Haojing City, but in the market, the cultural disciples were noisy with each other.
What they were arguing about was nothing more than whether Lu Qian was a 'great sage of his own' or a 'national thief who vassed the eunuchs'; was he a 'gentleman with a unique character', or was he a 'hypocrite trying to please others'?
Of course, Lu Qian doesn't care about any of this.
The day after he was awarded the title of Duke, Lu Qian prepared a gift and went to Tianenhou...oh, no, Tianengong Mansion.
When Mrs. Hu met Lu Qian, it was like meeting an enemy. The salt and iron document promised to her by the Bai family was naturally invalidated after Lu Qian joined the palace guard.
She had done a good job of restraining herself from ruining Mrs. Hu's financial resources and not asking someone to beat Lu Qian out.
Lu Yi is extremely enthusiastic.
He did not mention the matter of 'immortality', but held a family banquet, chatted with Lu Qian, and forced Mrs. Hu to accompany him. He kept pouring wine and serving dishes for Lu Qian, which made up for the fact that he had gone to the northern border in the past few years.
The town guard and Lu Qian have become estranged from each other.
At the wine table, the two of them decided that a total of 300 households, about 2,000 members of the Lu clan, would be separated from the Tianen Palace and join Lu Qian's Tianyang Palace.
Among the three hundred households, Lu Qian first selected the Lu An family with whom he had the closest relationship.
The other families Lu Qian chose were all close clan members who had taken great care of him in the past few years. They were all good families with loyal hearts, healthy families, and no incompetent children.
As soon as Lu Qian's palace is completed, these Lu clan members will move to the back streets of the palace.
When leaving Tian'en Gong's Mansion, Lu Qian took Lu An and dozens of clan members with good knowledge and good personal abilities with him.
Next, Lu Qian's thoughts were all focused on the benefits he gained from the Secret History Prison.
Jiayou's nineteenth year, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The rare dark clouds dispersed, and a large red cloud appeared in the eastern sky. In the backyard of the Yushunfang Survey Department, the snow on the branches continued to fall.
In the small building in the backyard, in Lu Qian's room.
Lu Qian sat cross-legged, with five colors filling the surroundings. A bright ring was suspended in front of him, slowly rotating, and traces of the five colors of light were constantly integrated into the ring under the urging of the spiritual light of the soul.
The ring comes from the inheritance stone tablet.
As the five colors of light continue to blend in, the fine lines on the ring light up one by one. It seems that with only the last one or two fine lines, the entire ring will be lit up.
In the middle of the backyard, a big yellow dog stood in front of Lu Qian's small building, with a yellow light between its muzzle and muzzle.
In the other four directions, the four uncles were also thinking about ideas. The five-color spiritual light that ordinary people could not see with the naked eye enveloped the entire backyard, as if the space of this courtyard was cut off from this world.
In Lu Qian's Tanzhong acupoint, a bit of Guixu Immortal Yuan was spinning rapidly.
The five-colored mist was continuously absorbed into Lu Qian's body from his mouth and nose, and then it was like a thousand streams returning to the sea, all entering the Tanzhong point, and was completely swallowed up by this little bit of Guixu immortal essence.
When Lu Qian was in the Secret History Prison, the energy in his body condensed into a little bit of Guixu Immortal Yuan, which was only the size of a sesame seed.
But after several days of trying to practice, the volume of this immortal essence has expanded to the size of a soybean.
Lu Qian had tried it in the past few days. Once he left the backyard where he had set up the Five Elements Feng Shui Formation, no matter how hard he tried, his Wuliangguixu body could not move at all.
But in this backyard, Lu Qian can freely move the body of the Immortal Ruins, and his cultivation speed is very slow.
When a red sun rose in the east and the sunshine spread across the earth, Lu Qian's night's work finally came to an end. He swallowed up all the five-color haze in the room in one breath, and then opened his mouth to spit out wisps of five-color rays of light.
Rhubarb and others also took a deep breath at the same time, slowly taking the five-colored rays of light spit out by Lu Qian into their bodies.
The hair on their body surface had an oily sheen, the essence and blood in their bodies fluctuated wildly, and there was a faint sound of flowing river, which was stronger than in the small courtyard in the back street of Tian'en Gong Mansion.
More than several times?
There was a sound of 'buzz', and the ring suspended in front of Lu Qian became radiant.
All the patterns on the ring's surface lit up at the same time, and suddenly there was a strange feeling of flesh-and-blood connection between Lu Qian and the ring.
The spiritual light of the soul gently probed into the ring, and Lu Qian laughed happily: "Ha, with such a divine thing, my luck will not be bad."
What appeared in front of Lu Qian was a small, dimly lit space. The space was spherical in shape, with a diameter of only a little over ten feet.
A ray of information flowed out from the ring, and Lu Qian's smile suddenly faded.
This ring is called the 'Beiming Ring'. It is a token passed down from the Taishang Beiming Immortal Sect. It is an extremely powerful spiritual object. Its internal space is extremely vast, with a radius of tens of thousands of miles, enough to accommodate a mountain and river.
It forms a small cave of its own.
But now Beimingjie gave Lu Qian the feeling of dying, as if he was seriously ill and dying.
The world's spiritual energy collapsed, and Beiming Ring hid in the inheritance stone tablet. Its own spiritual energy continued to leak out, and it had long since been exhausted. The huge space in the ring had long since dissipated, and only a square foot of it was barely retained.
The spherical space with a diameter of one foot can store everything. This was a great surprise for Lu Qian.
But suddenly I learned that this space was originally tens of thousands of miles in size...
Lu Qian, I am very heartbroken.
"However, it's not bad. I'm afraid this treasure is the only one in the world today, right?" Little by little of the five colors flew up from Lu Qian's fingers, and continued to pour into the Beiming Ring.
The small space inside Beiming Ring was squirming slightly, and Lu Qian vaguely felt that it seemed to be slightly swollen to all sides.
"Oh? The spiritual machine is broken, but the origin is still there." Lu Qian murmured: "As long as I cultivate enough, you still have a chance to recover?"
Lu Qian nodded, and the spiritual light of his soul swept through the space in Beiming Ring.
This ten-foot-wide space was the core area of the space that was once tens of thousands of miles away in Beiming Ring, and it was also the area that was the last to collapse.
Now floating in the middle of this small space, there is only a long-necked water bottle over one foot tall with a simple and graceful shape.
With a thought in Lu Qian's mind, the Beiming Ring was already put on the middle finger of his left hand, and the long-necked water bottle appeared silently in Lu Qian's hand.
As soon as the water bottle appeared, there was a loud noise.
A terrifying weight hit him. Lu Qian's hands sank, and his muscles and bones were pressed so loudly that they almost tore off his arms due to the weight of the bottle.
Just as Lu Qian shouted "No," the bed under him and the floor beneath the bed all collapsed. Lu Qian was like a meteorite falling from the sky, smashing five floors in a row in an extremely embarrassing manner.
The floor slab hit the hall on the first floor with a bang, creating a large hole five or six feet deep in the water-polished blue brick floor of the hall.
Lu Qian was lying in the big pit, feeling dizzy from the fall. His internal organs were in severe pain, and he almost fainted from the pain.
"Okay...baby...baby!" Lu Qian gritted his teeth and whispered, biting the tip of his tongue, and sprayed a mouthful of essence and blood mixed with five-color mist on the long-necked water bottle.
The brilliance of the Beiming Ring on the left hand swayed, and little bits of light flowed into the water bottle.
Several runes on the surface of the water bottle flashed slightly, and the blood essence sprayed by Lu Qian was quickly absorbed by the body of the bottle. The weight of the water bottle suddenly disappeared. Lu Qian's arms trembled as he carefully picked up the water bottle.
This water bottle is stored in the core area of the Beiming Ring. All the items in the Beiming Ring have collapsed, and only this bottle has survived. Obviously, it should be regarded as the most precious treasure in the Beiming Ring.
are stored in this core area.
Lu Qian gently carried the water bottle and looked at it carefully. He saw a stream of light flashing from top to bottom on the long and slender neck of the water bottle, revealing a line of tiny characters.
‘Taichu Guixu Bottle’!
The stream of light disappeared, the small characters disappeared, and a burst of information came in. Lu Qian already understood the origin of this water bottle.
"This treasure... The Seven Treasures of Taishang Beiming Immortal Sect, ranked fifth, can receive the inspiration of heaven and earth, condenses Taichu Xuanyuan Divine Water, nourishes all things, and replenishes the soul. It is the supreme secret treasure of cultivation."
After gently shaking the Taichu Guixu bottle, I heard a faint "ding-ding" sound coming from the bottle.
Lu Qian leaned over the mouth of the bottle and looked inside, and saw three black water droplets the size of broad beans in the faint light, like mercury, constantly rotating and rolling in the light, unusually agile and magical.
These are the three drops of Xuanyuan Divine Water that were kept in the Taichu Guixu bottle back then. I am afraid they are not the only three drops left in the world.
‘Bang’!
The door of Lu Qian's small building was pushed open with great force, and Dahuang, Rabbit, and Ahu, who was sweating profusely, hurried in.
Through the gate, you can see that in the small courtyard outside, Yu Diaihu and other guards have surrounded the entire courtyard.
Lu Qian waved his hand, walked to the door, and said to Yu Diaihu and others: "I have improved my cultivation. I accidentally destroyed the floor. It is not a big deal. Later, I will ask the masonry and carpenter to come over and rebuild the small building."
Repair one or two."
Yu Diaihu and others saluted one after another and then withdrew from the small courtyard.
Ahu circled Lu Qian twice, then looked at the big hole on the ground in the lobby on the first floor, and shook his head: "Brother Qian, you are fooling people again."
Lu Qian rolled his eyes and glared at Ah Hu: "Don't talk about my affairs. I have no time to care about you these days. Do you understand the Buddha statue I gave you?"
Ah Hu gave a wry smile and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Brother Qi, I'm not lazy. I've been holding it while sleeping for the past two days, but... you said there is a treasure in this Buddha statue, what do I think?
Haven't found any?"
Lu Qian shook his head and shook the water bottle in his hand: "It's my fault, I should have known that you, a loser, couldn't figure out the mystery inside. However, it was my opportunity and your opportunity."
"It's better to choose another day than to hit it. I'll fulfill your wish today. Hey, who made you my brother? I would be heartbroken if I used this treasure on others, but you, Ahu, are the only ones."
Lu Qian walked to the door and shouted outside: "Today is the fifteenth day, isn't it? Let's go and see if the Bai family is going to marry off their daughter today? Let's go and find out which family's child is so unlucky to be married off by Bai?
Has the family been selected?"
The little eunuch's soft voice of promise came from outside the door.
Lu Qian took Ahu to a small building next door with the same style as Lu Qian's residence.
On the first floor of the small building, in the hall, in front of a messy bed, the Buddha statue that Lu Qian got from the Secret History Prison was placed there upright, with a pillow cover covering the Buddha's head.
Apparently, Ahu said that he slept with his arms around the Buddha statue these days, and he really did so.
"Sit down, I'm thinking about it, this method works." Lu Qian pressed Ahu in front of the Buddha statue with one palm, and shook the Taichu Guixu vase in his hand: "Wait a minute, just relax your mind and just listen to my instructions.
