Chapter 53

Veil

This isn't something that can be resolved simply by offering advice, and Lu Yang wasn't good at giving advice, so he didn't say much.

He simply pushed a storage bag in front of Lu Yunchang.

"Aunt Yun Chang, this is the storage bag of that mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunchang's expression changed. Looking at the storage bag, a hint of hatred appeared on her face. However, after a while, she seemed to remember something and waved her hand weakly, "Alright, you can take it. I don't want to see this thing."

This!

Lu Yang could understand Lu Yunchang's thoughts. After all, it was the object of the cultivator who killed Lu Changhong. Seeing it would inevitably remind him of that scene.

However, since Lu Yunchang was the one who killed the person, Lu Yang could not handle it without her consent, and it was not appropriate to keep it in his possession for too long, so he took it over as soon as possible.

Now that Lu Yunchang doesn't want it, Lu Yang has no choice but to take it back.

Just before leaving, Lu Yang turned back to look at Lu Yunchang, "Aunt Yunchang, there will probably be another great battle to come. Please calm down, Aunt Yunchang. The dead are gone, but the remnants of the Blood Demon Palace have not been completely wiped out yet."

Click!

The door closed, and Lu Yunchang looked up abruptly. Yes, those remnants of the Blood Demon Palace hadn't been completely wiped out yet.

After leaving Lu Yunchang's room, Lu Yang didn't think about anything else. The entire Lu Family Town was on high alert. The Southern Barbarian army would not stop its advance just because of the deaths of Xun Daoren and Wang Suanpan. After all, the survival of the Southern Barbarians was a serious problem. If they gained nothing from this large-scale war, most of the Southern Barbarian tribes would probably starve to death.

However, Canglan is not the only county bordering the Southern Barbarians. Now that Xun Daoren and Wang Suanpan have both died in Lujia Town and have not returned, the Southern Barbarian leader may be afraid and attack from another direction.

Of course, even if the southern barbarians are stubborn and still want to attack Lujia Town, Lujia Town won't care at this time.

Lu Qingwen has already organized the able-bodied men of Lujia Town. The town's defenses are already strong, and it is further protected by a large formation. With nearly two thousand Dao soldiers and tens of thousands of able-bodied men defending together, even if the Southern Barbarian army comes, Lujia Town can hold out.

Most importantly, Lu Changfeng is here. Lu Changfeng, who is in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, is their greatest source of confidence.

In everyone's eyes, Lu Yang was just a minor cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining, so Lu Qingwen didn't assign Lu Yang any tasks related to defense.

As a result, Lu Yang is now enjoying a life of leisure.

Back in his room, Lu Yang stroked Shi Ri's hair and opened the demonic cultivator's storage bag that allowed him to become invisible.

A thin veil came into Lu Yang's view. This veil was actually taken from the demonic cultivator by Lu Yang. After seeing this veil, Lu Yang knew that the demonic cultivator's invisibility method was probably not some kind of magic, but rather the effect of this veil.

It wasn't some kind of robe, just a thin veil.

The shape was regular enough to envelop the demonic cultivator, so enveloping Lu Yang was even less of a problem. Lu Yang covered himself with the thin veil, and Shi Ri was also stunned, seemingly wondering where his master had gone.

However, after just sniffing around, Shi Ri found Lu Yang and stuck out its tongue to lick Lu Yang's hand.

"It seems this thin veil can only cover the body, not the scent."

Even so, it was still shocking enough, since Lu Yang had never heard of anything that could allow a cultivator to hide their form so directly.

Moreover, the material of this gauze is very special. Lu Yang tried to poke the edge of the gauze with the Qingcang Sword, but found that the Qingcang Sword, which is a high-grade magic weapon, could not even leave a mark on the gauze.

From this perspective, the veil might not only be used for invisibility, but also as a form of ceremonial robes.

Touching the thin gauze in his hand, Lu Yang was also somewhat excited, after all, this thin gauze might be enough to save Lu Yang's life in a critical moment.

Unable to see with the eyes or detect with divine sense, if she encounters a powerful enemy, she can simply cover herself with the thin veil and run away, unstoppable by anyone.

"Let's call you 'Shadowless Veil'."

Lu Yang gave the Shadowless Gauze a name, and then carefully put it away.

The gains from this Shadowless Veil might even surpass those from the Yin Wind Evil Clues.

Aside from the Shadowless Gauze, the other items in the storage bag were also much more valuable than those of the three cultivators in front of him.

There were over two hundred spirit stones alone, four Spirit Nourishing Pills left, several mid-grade talismans, and the Blood Demon Blade was all top-grade, which amazed Lu Yang.

It's true what they say, murder and arson bring wealth; normal cultivation can't compare to the riches gained through robbery.

No wonder the members of the clan's demon-hunting team cultivate faster than others; although the battles are dangerous, the rewards are also plentiful.

Lu Yang put these things away, planning to deal with the useless items later when he got back.

As for now, the focus should still be on improving cultivation. No matter how strong Lu Changfeng is, he can't guarantee that there won't be Foundation Establishment cultivators among the Southern Barbarians later on. Once Lu Changfeng gets entangled, they will ultimately have to rely on themselves.

With this in mind, Lu Yang swallowed a Spirit Nourishing Pill and quickly began cultivating.

He has now accumulated thirty strands of spiritual energy at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and he is not far from breaking through to the fifth level of Qi Refining. With the help of the Spirit Nourishing Pill, even if the Southern Barbarians arrive slowly, he can break through directly.

There are also talismans; Lu Yang threw away most of them during the battle against those demonic cultivators, so we need to replenish them.

The combination of water-based and shadow-based stabs is really useful in crucial moments.

Meanwhile, in Lu Changfeng's room, Lu Changfeng was also greatly encouraged after receiving Lu Guchu's message.

"That old fox has finally taken the bait."

At the mouth of Yangming Lake, after Fang Chuhong opened the secret realm with his token, he couldn't wait to bring people in.

But before he could make a move, a figure stood directly in front of him.

"When?!"

Fang Chuhong's face stiffened in shock, and he was about to make a move, but at this moment he realized that several magical golden needles were pressed against his brow, emitting a chilling aura. Fang Chuhong had no doubt that if he dared to make any move, these magical golden needles would instantly take his life.

"You, Lu Guchu!"

Fang Chuhong stared at the figure in front of him. The feeling of unfamiliarity mixed with familiarity made Fang Chuhong finally realize something.

Lu Guchu took the token from Fang Chuhong, nodded as a greeting, and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Fang."

The other members of the Fang family wanted to make a move, but figures appeared from all directions, led by the Lu family's Grand Elder. The Fang family's Grand Elder tried to resist, but was directly subdued by two Lu family elders. The rest of the Fang family members didn't fare much better.

"The secret realm of the Zixia Sect is actually here!"

Lu Guchu played with the token in his hand, looking at the secret realm before him with some surprise.

To be honest, this place is really inconspicuous. If it weren't for Fang Chuhong leading the way, even if the Lu family occupied the entire Yangming County and searched inch by inch, they probably wouldn't have found this secret realm.

Moreover, without the Ziyang Sect token, opening the secret realm and entering it is just a pipe dream.

"Lu Guchu, even you've emerged from seclusion!"

Fang Chuhong's eyes were filled with resentment. After Lu Changfeng broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, Lu Guchu often went into seclusion. Fang Chuhong and Lu Guchu were actually of the same generation, but since Lu Changfeng broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, Fang Chuhong had hardly seen Lu Guchu. There were rumors that Lu Guchu had died in some remote corner.

Now, things have gotten worse. His appearance has ruined his plans. Feeling Lu Guchu's aura, which is like an abyss, Fang Chuhong felt even more bitter.

Faced with Lu Guchu, even with his mid-Foundation Establishment strength, Fang Chuhong couldn't muster the courage to resist.

"After all, it's a secret realm, worth the trip. Fellow Daoist Fang, is there anything else you can teach me?"
