Blazing Sun Armor, Promotion to Junior Flag!

Immediately, Lu Ze took out the top-grade mortal-level silver battle armor and Pixiu robe again, preparing to enhance them.

"Current enhancement requires 100 Source Points. Enhancement options: 1. Armor: Enhancement yields the Tier 1 Mid-grade magic weapon, the Blazing Sun Armor, one of the basic magic weapons for disciples of the Purple Sun Sect in the cultivation world. It has extremely strong defense against both physical and magical attacks. 2. Robe: Enhancement yields the Tier 1 Mid-grade magic weapon, the Magic-Repelling Robe, one of the basic magic weapons for disciples of the Righteous Qi Sect in the cultivation world. It has excellent effects in resisting the invasion of vengeful ghosts, good defense against magical attacks, but poor defense against physical attacks."

Lu Ze looked at the two enhancement directions, and they were both very good.

But after thinking about it, he realized that he was now a cultivator with spiritual power protecting him, and he also possessed the pure Yang energy of the sun. If a vengeful ghost wanted to invade and possess him, it would be like the God of Longevity hanging himself, wanting to die too long!

For him, the magic-repelling robe was not necessary!

Therefore, Lu Ze chose the Blazing Sun Armor.

Immediately, the Pixiu robe and silver armor disappeared, replaced by a crimson armor.

He tried it on, and it fit perfectly. With the protection of this Blazing Sun Armor, he could withstand attacks from ordinary early-stage Innate Realm cultivators and third-stage Qi Refining Realm cultivators, significantly boosting his strength.

Lu Ze looked quite satisfied and put the armor into his Qiankun bag.

Soon after, he put on the Hundred Transformations Mask, transforming into a refined middle-aged man. He changed into a green robe, sheathed the Blazing Sun Blade, and kept only the Azure Spirit Sword behind him.

Fifteen minutes later, in Qinghe Town, at the Hundred Household Office.

As Han Xiaotian, a centurion, was practicing his swordsmanship, a voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Han, centurion, I am Qingyunzi, and I have come at your invitation."

Han Xiaotian looked around but couldn't find anyone. His expression changed, and he said, "A telepathic message from afar!"

Transmitting a message over a thousand miles is done through the spiritual power of a cultivator or the divine will of a master at the Innate Realm.

The newcomer is either a Qi Refining Realm Immortal Master or a Primordial Realm Grandmaster!

With such a powerful background, it's no wonder Lu Ze dared to kill Yin Xun!

Han Xiaotian's thoughts changed as he thought about this. If Lu Ze's background was just that of an ordinary Grandmaster of the Condensation Realm, he could easily suppress him with his status, and the matter of Yin Xun could be resolved however he wanted.

However, if it involves a Qi Refining Realm Immortal Master or an Innate Realm Grandmaster, one must be careful.

In the entire Yunhe County, the strongest person on the surface is only at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm. Without a Dao Foundation Realm master to guard the area, the fight against the Dao Foundation Realm demons and monsters in the wilderness relies more on the national fortune dragon energy and the county city god!

Therefore, the strength of a Grandmaster at the Innate Realm is already considered high-level combat power in Yunhe County. Even the powerful Demon Suppression Guards would not easily offend them!

Not long after, Han Xiaotian arrived at the gate of the Hundred Households Office and saw a middle-aged man in a blue robe carrying a sword. His demeanor was extraordinary, and he was unrecognizable.

He quickly went over, clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, and said, "May I ask if you are Senior Qingyunzi?"

Lu Ze was quite pleased to hear this. He had gone from the Ant Realm to the Fellow Daoist Realm and suddenly advanced to the Senior Realm. How awesome!

He then nodded slightly and said, "Commander Han, there's no need for such formality. My apprentice is young and ignorant, and has caused you trouble!"

Han Xiaotian laughed and said, "Not at all, not at all. That Commander Yin Xun acted recklessly and tried to slander your disciple, which led to this trouble. Rest assured, Senior, the Hundred Household Office will handle this matter fairly and justly."

"In that case, I am relieved. I hope Commander Han will take good care of my disciple in the future. If there are any problems that you cannot solve, you can also contact my disciple, and I will lend a hand."

After Lu Ze finished speaking, he used the Nine Transformations of Thunder, his body becoming like a phantom, disappearing without a trace in a few flashes.

Han Xiaotian, however, looked on with delight as he watched Qingyunzi disappear. Qingyunzi's appearance not only allowed him to give an explanation to Lord Qianhu, but also to gain a favor from a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm. Not bad.

Meanwhile, Lu Ze had already returned home.

Having dealt with Han Xiaotian, there shouldn't be any lingering problems after killing Yin Xun.

Immediately, he took out a high-grade essence pill and swallowed it, then began cultivating the Black Tiger Body Forging Technique.

Half an hour later, Lu Ze slowly withdrew his fist and checked the attribute panel: Black Tiger Body Forging Technique (Flesh Refining Perfected).

Since learning the complete Black Tiger Body Forging Technique, the attribute panel has changed; the proficiency level has disappeared, and the realm level has been replaced.

Now that the flesh refining is complete, the next step is the fifth level of body tempering.

Lu Ze began to condense the qi and blood in his body into a qi and blood power similar to internal strength.

He also cultivated the Golden Body of the Sun, making him physically strong and possessing abundant qi and blood, surpassing even martial artists who had achieved mastery of internal energy cultivation. His efficiency in condensing qi and blood power was extremely high.

Half an hour later, his blood and qi strength was comparable to the internal energy level of the fourth level of the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

At this moment, he took another high-grade essence pill and began to temper his internal organs. However, it was not only the power of qi and blood that tempered his internal organs, but also the wood-type spiritual power and the true qi of the sun that tempered his internal organs alternately.

The efficiency of filth removal has skyrocketed!

At dusk, the setting sun was like blood.

Lu Ze checked his attribute panel and saw that he had mastered the Black Tiger Body Forging Technique (5% completion). Then he had dinner with his parents, Lu Xuan, and Zhao Yueling.

The main ingredient is black tiger meat, which is highly nourishing.

After finishing his meal, Lu Ze changed into the Pixiu robe and demon-repelling knife of the Demon Suppression Guard and went to work.

Not long after, at the Hundred Households Office, Lu Ze found Zhao Beichen, the Commander-in-Chief.

Lu Ze asked, "Commander, how is that matter going?"

Zhao Beichen smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything's fine. Not only that, but a vacancy has opened up for you as a junior officer, and the centurion has appointed you as that officer. The original junior officer will be transferred!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze's eyes lit up, and he clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you, Commander Baihu and Brother Zhao."

With the identity of a junior officer, he could also slack off and focus on cultivation.

Then, he inquired about the Song family's strength.

"According to the records of the Demon Suppression Guard, Song Weiyuan, the patriarch of the Song family, was already at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm ten years ago, and may now be at the sixth level. The Song family is considered to be in the middle to upper range among the Qi Refining families in the inner city. In addition, he is also a disciple of Baiyun Temple. Baiyun Temple is the only cultivation sect in Yunhe County, with a powerful immortal master at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm presiding over it."

Zhao Beichen also wanted to befriend Lu Ze, so he spoke freely about everything he knew.

Lu Ze had gained a preliminary understanding of the Song family's strength.

Meanwhile, inside a mansion.

Song Linfeng looked at Tong Huai and asked, "Uncle Tong, have you found out exactly how Commander Yin Xun disappeared?"

Ever since Commander Yin Xun disappeared while Lu Ze remained unharmed, he sensed something was amiss. This man must have a background he didn't know about, at least a minor Grandmaster of the Condensing Qi Realm as his backer.

Therefore, he chose to avoid direct confrontation and conduct a covert investigation.

Tong Huai pondered for a moment and said, "Not long ago, the patriarch visited Lord Ma, the deputy commander of the Demon Suppression Guard, and learned that Lu Ze also has a mysterious Grandmaster of the Innate Realm behind him, known as Qingyunzi. Therefore, the patriarch's intention is for you to let it go and not provoke Lu Ze anymore. Otherwise, the patriarch will stop all your monthly stipends and benefits."

At the same time, he was secretly relieved. If he had gone to kill Lu Ze directly back then, he would probably be dead like Yin Xun now.

Upon hearing this, Song Linfeng's expression turned gloomy. He still wanted to use the power of his family to eliminate Lu Ze and vent his anger.

However, Lu Ze actually had a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm behind him, and his family wouldn't allow him to provoke Lu Ze again. How could he not be furious!

How dare a mere peasant ask me to back down! He deserves to die!
