Chapter 685: Lu Yunqing Borrows Someone (Two-in-One)

After Zhou Qingyu returned to the Pavilion where she resided, she impatiently rummaged through her Space Ring to find the Medicinal Herbs and Pill Furnace.

Afterward, she took out the True Spirit Pill Prescription she had obtained from Wang Jianqiang with a solemn expression.

She studied it carefully for a while.

Then, she began to refine.

The difficulty of refining a Perfect Pill produced by the system is not high; it is even slightly lower than that of ordinary Pill Formulas.

Zhou Qingyu only attempted it twice before successfully refining a Perfect True Spirit Pill.

She swallowed the freshly made Perfect True Spirit Pill in one gulp.

Then, she began to refine its power.

Once she had refined all the medicinal power within her body, her eyes snapped open.

Her face was already filled with shock.

No Pill Poison!

The medicinal efficacy far exceeded that of an ordinary True Spirit Pill.

This is...

A Perfect True Spirit Pill!

Wang Daniu had actually given her a set that would make any Alchemist covet it with madness...

A legendary Perfect Pill Formula!

Time is like flowing water.

In the blink of an eye, four months passed by in a rush.

During this period, Zhou Qingyu had been in seclusion to cultivate.

She did not buy any new Medicinal Herb seeds for Wang Jianqiang to plant.

Wang Jianqiang was happy to be relaxed, putting all his time into cultivation.

With the dual support of sufficient Soul Jade and his past cultivation experience, the speed at which his Soul Power increased far exceeded what it once was.

It had now reached twenty-seven times that of an ordinary Golden Core Stage Perfection Cultivator.

For a normal Cultivator, the limit of Soul Power is only three times.

Those with innate talent in Soul Power can exceed this value, but rarely does anyone reach nine times.

Even genius Cultivators who could be called Monsters, such as Mu Lingxi and Tushan Youyou, only barely touched the true upper limit of a Cultivator's Soul Power because of the help of his Purification Power.

Twenty-seven times.

This value is already the extreme.

From ancient times to the present, no one has exceeded it.

Once.

Because Wang Jianqiang practiced the heaven-defying Jade Purification Art, he broke through this limit value.

He reached thirty times Soul Power.

Now, having undergone Blood Rebirth, he is cultivating again.

His goal is no longer thirty times Soul Power.

He wants to try.

To see if he can go one step further.

To forge his foundation even more firmly.

And he had long since thought of the method to break through his own limits.

Just as he took out the Soul Jade, preparing to raise his Soul Power to thirty times as quickly as possible and then break through his previous limit,

the Beast Taming Sect's Sect Grand Competition was already in full swing.

With the help of the Perfect True Spirit Pill, Zhou Qingyu's cultivation speed increased greatly.

Before the Grand Competition began, she broke through to the Golden Core Late Stage.

She participated in the Beast Taming Sect's Sect Grand Competition with a Golden Core Late Stage cultivation base.

Although she is an Alchemist, her own combat power is not weak.

However, because she is a New Student who just entered the sect, she had not yet contracted a suitable spirit beast.

She was at a great disadvantage when fighting against Cultivators of the same level.

In the end.

She only obtained a ranking that was slightly below average.

Such a result was unremarkable among all the Outer Sect Disciples.

But among the New Students, it was already considered a top-tier existence.

There were only a few New Students who could compare to her.

Moreover, she also had the status of an Alchemist.

This made her results suddenly become eye-catching.

She became the most prominent one among the New Student Disciples.

She successfully attracted the attention of several Elders.

In the dim room.

A piece of Soul Jade floated in front of Wang Jianqiang.

The power within the Soul Jade was continuously merging into his body.

Crack!

A sound of shattering suddenly rang out.

The Soul Jade floating before him exhausted its power, shattered into several pieces, and fell to the ground.

Wang Jianqiang slowly opened his eyes, intending to take out another Soul Jade to continue his cultivation.

Suddenly, he received a message.

He took out a Sound Transmission Talisman and listened for a moment.

His expression shifted.

He stood up and walked outside.

A moment later.

He arrived at the residence of Zhou Qingyu.

Zhou Qingyu was sitting in the main hall with another woman.

Upon seeing the woman, Wang Jianqiang's mind instantly flashed with her name.

Lu Yunqing.

This woman was precisely the quiet one who had previously accompanied Zhou Qingyu to the Medicine Garden along with Huang Xue and a lively young girl named Jiang Ruanruan.

After taking a discreet look at Lu Yunqing, he walked straight up to Zhou Qingyu.

He bowed to both of them respectively.

"Greetings, Third Miss."

"Greetings, Fairy."

Zhou Qingyu smiled, "Wang Daniu, you've come."

As she spoke, she gestured toward Lu Yunqing.

"I called you here today because Senior Sister Lu has something she needs your help with."

Wang Jianqiang looked at Lu Yunqing's beautiful face.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang look over, Lu Yunqing smiled at him.

A flush of red appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face, as if he were somewhat embarrassed.

He hurriedly shifted his gaze.

From the first moment he saw Lu Yunqing, he had discovered that she possessed a gentle, quiet temperament.

It made him unable to help but feel an urge to bully her a little.

Just then, Zhou Qingyu's voice came again.

"Senior Sister Lu ranked first in the Outer Sect battle zone during this Sect Grand Competition."

"She has earned the qualification to enter the Beast Realm."

"Every Disciple who earns the qualification for the Beast Realm may bring one servant along to enter the Beast Realm to assist them."

"Senior Sister Lu has no servant, so she wants to borrow you from me for a period of time, to let you enter the Beast Realm with her."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang revealed a look of astonishment.

This Lu Yunqing looked quite delicate; he hadn't expected her to be so fierce.

She was actually the Outer Sect First of the Beast Taming Sect.

Following that, he looked at Lu Yunqing with some confusion, "Fairy Lu, I am only a lowly Qi Refining First Layer Cultivator; if you take me into the Beast Realm, wouldn't that be holding you back?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Zhou Qingyu looked at Lu Yunqing and smiled, "Senior Sister Lu, I just asked you this question myself."

"You said to wait until Wang Daniu arrived to discuss it together."

"Now that Wang Daniu is here, can you say it now?"

Lu Yunqing smiled and nodded.

After pondering for a moment, she spoke, "The Beast Taming Sect's Sect Grand Competition is held once every fifty years; Junior Sister Zhou, you should know this, right?"

As she spoke, she looked at Zhou Qingyu.

Her voice was just like her temperament, equally gentle and soft.

Zhou Qingyu nodded upon hearing this.

Lu Yunqing smiled and continued, "The Sect Grand Competition fifty years ago, the first place in the Outer Sect battle zone was also me."

Hearing Lu Yunqing's words, Zhou Qingyu widened her eyes.

Although she was on good terms with Lu Yunqing, this was the first time she had heard of this.

Wang Jianqiang also couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

This Lu Yunqing had only just passed eighty years of age now; fifty years ago, she would have been just over thirty.

At that age, she was actually able to win first place in the Beast Taming Sect's Outer Sect!

The astonishing cultivation speed of Mu Lingxi and the other women close to him was due to the constant supply of Perfect Pills supporting them.

This woman's cultivation speed was actually enough to rival Mu Lingxi and the others.

The cultivation environment Outside the Realm being better than in the Immortal Abandoned Land was indeed one factor.

But from another perspective, this woman's talent was truly astonishing.

After a brief moment of shock, Zhou Qingyu came back to her senses.

Then, with a face full of confusion, she looked at Lu Yunqing, "Senior Sister Lu, since you were already the Outer Sect First during the previous Sect Grand Competition, then why are you now..."

Having said this, her voice paused.

The confusion on her face deepened a little more.

"Are you curious why I am still remaining in the Outer Sect?"

Lu Yunqing smiled lightly.

Zhou Qingyu nodded, "If Senior Sister was already the number one in the Outer Sect fifty years ago, with such talent, it is impossible that you could not enter the Inner Sect."

Lu Yunqing nodded, "If I had wanted to enter the Inner Sect, I could have done so at any time the year before the previous Sect Grand Competition was held."

"It is just that the quotas for the Beast Realm are extremely precious; once one enters the Inner Sect, one must participate in the battles of the Inner Sect war zone."

"In a mere year, wanting to raise one's strength to the top ten of the Inner Sect war zone is simply impossible."

"Therefore, in order to obtain the opportunity to enter the Beast Realm, I deliberately suppressed my cultivation realm and did not break through to the Nascent Soul Stage."

"I participated in the previous Sect Grand Competition."

Hearing this, Zhou Qingyu's expression became even more confused, "Since Senior Sister had already successfully obtained a quota to enter the Beast Realm back in the previous Sect Grand Competition, why have you delayed forming your Nascent Soul and entering the Inner Sect?"

"With Senior Sister's talent, even if you would be quiet for a period after entering the Inner Sect, it is still very likely that you would become a top figure in the Inner Sect in the future."

"It wouldn't have been impossible to obtain a Beast Realm quota through the Inner Sect war zone later on, right?"

"Wasting fifty full years of time for this seems a bit too worthless, doesn't it?"

Lu Yunqing shook her head, "You have never entered the Beast Realm, so you do not know the situation inside."

"The Beast Realm is divided into four layers, which do not connect to one another."

"Quotas obtained through the Outer Sect war zone appear in the first layer after entering the Beast Realm."

"Inner Sect Disciples are in the second layer."

"Core Disciples are in the third layer."

"Theoretically, the higher the layer, the stronger the strength of the demonic beasts within."

"But the strength of a demonic beast being high does not mean its Bloodline Power and potential will also be higher."

"Just like Senior Sister Wen Ya's ice dragon demonic beast, it was obtained in the first layer of the Beast Realm when she was still an Outer Sect Disciple."

"Back then, that ice dragon's strength was still very weak, but today it has already transformed into a Spirit Transformation Stage great demon with infinite potential."

Even though Lu Yunqing was amazingly talented, when mentioning that legendary heaven-gifted girl within the Beast Taming Sect, she still could not help but show a look of longing.

Zhou Qingyu also revealed the same expression.

At the same time, she could not help but feel a wave of amazement in her heart.

So the Beast Realm actually had these nuances; Senior Sister Wen Ya's ice dragon was actually obtained while she was still cultivating in the Outer Sect!

After learning this news.

A strong desire for the Beast Realm could not help but rise in her heart.

It was just a pity that she had only just made her Entry.

She had not yet mastered the art of beast taming, had not yet contracted a demonic beast, and was even less able to enter the top ten in the Sect Grand Competition to obtain a quota to enter the Beast Realm.

She could only wait for the next Sect Grand Competition.

A moment later.

Lu Yunqing came back to her senses and continued speaking.

"I was lucky back then and discovered a demonic beast in the first layer of the Beast Realm with extremely strong Bloodline Power that was very suitable for me."

"It was just that when capturing that demonic beast, an accident occurred, and I failed to catch it."

"I suppressed my cultivation and waited for this Sect Grand Competition precisely because I wanted to enter the first layer of the Beast Realm again to capture that demonic beast."

"The reason I brought Wang Daniu along is because his ability in cultivating Spirit Medicine happens to be able to help me when I capture that demonic beast."

Hearing this, Zhou Qingyu revealed a look of sudden realization.

Wang Jianqiang looked at Lu Yunqing and said with some hesitation, "Fairy Lu, this one has a doubt."

Lu Yunqing smiled, "Speak."

Wang Jianqiang's gaze paused on her delicate and quiet pretty face before he said, "Since the Beast Realm can control the cultivation of the demonic beasts on each layer, ensuring the cultivation of the beasts on each layer does not exceed a certain limit."

"Does that mean that once the demonic beasts in the lower-layer Beast Realm break through their cultivation, they will be automatically transported to the higher-layer Beast Realm?"

"Is Fairy Lu not worried that the demonic beast you have your eye on will break through the limit of the first layer of the Beast Realm and ascend to the second layer?"

"If that were to happen, wouldn't your fifty years of waiting have been wasted in vain?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunqing gave Wang Jianqiang an appreciative look, "You are very smart; the rules in the Beast Realm are indeed as you guessed."

"But since I dared to waste fifty years of time waiting for the next opportunity to enter the Beast Realm, how could I not have made any preparations?"

"Fifty years ago, although I did not catch that demonic beast, I trapped it in a fixed area."

"That area has thin Spirit Qi and extremely limited resources, so it is impossible for it to break through there."

Wang Jianqiang nodded and remarked with emotion, "Fairy Lu is truly thoughtful."

Lu Yunqing smiled and looked at Zhou Qingyu, "Junior Sister Zhou, I have already told you everything that should be said."

"Now, you should tell me, can you lend me this precious treasure of yours to use?"

Zhou Qingyu's pretty face flushed, "Senior Sister Lu, what nonsense are you saying?"

After finishing, she looked at Wang Jianqiang again, and after pondering for a moment, she said, "Wang Daniu, Senior Sister Lu is my best friend."

"I hope you can enter the Beast Realm with her."

"Of course, entering the Beast Realm with your cultivation, even with Senior Sister Lu by your side to protect you, the possibility of encountering danger cannot be completely ruled out."

"I will not force you."

"Whether you agree or not, you make the decision yourself."

Hearing Zhou Qingyu's consultative tone, Lu Yunqing could not help but reveal a look of surprise.

She knew that Zhou Qingyu valued this Wang Daniu quite a bit.

But she had not expected that she would value him to this extent!

As a master, she was actually actively seeking the opinion of her servant!

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang smiled at Zhou Qingyu and said without the slightest hesitation, "Since Third Miss wishes for me to help Fairy Lu, then I shall go on a trip with Fairy Lu."

As soon as Wang Jianqiang's words fell.

Lu Yunqing could not help but glance at Wang Jianqiang again.

This Wang Daniu is truly loyal to Zhou Qingyu.

Zhou Qingyu was actually right.

Entering the Beast Realm with her indeed carries the possibility of encountering danger.

Zhou Qingyu had clearly given him the right to refuse.

Yet he still chose to follow Zhou Qingyu's wishes without the slightest hesitation, choosing to enter the Beast Realm to take risks.

Such a quality is truly rare.

At this moment.

She could not help but feel a bit envious of Zhou Qingyu in her heart.

Such a capable, decisive, and loyal servant.

It is too rare.

Seeing Wang Daniu follow her wishes without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Qingyu could not help but feel a bit moved.

She suddenly began to worry a little for Wang Daniu.

She regretted mixing her own personal wishes into her previous words.

She looked deeply at Wang Daniu and changed the subject.

"Wang Daniu, have you really thought it through?"

"There is still half a month until the Beast Realm opens; I can give you time to consider."

"Even if you change your mind by then and do not want to go, I will never blame you."
