Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 71 - 66: Miao Yin Wants to Accompany 【Seeking Recommendation Tickets!】
Qingzhang Mountain.
These days, Lu Qingfeng had hired people to carve out several caves and construct buildings in the depths.
The three siblings thus settled here.
This place was not far from Miao Yin City, and also very close to the surrounding county cities. Whether it was Lu Qingshan or Lu Qingyu, when they grew tired of staying in the mountains, they could always go to the city for a stroll.
For cultivation, however, the Silent Mountain was more suitable. The city was noisy and extravagantly distracting, a good place for leisure, but not for cultivation.
Lu Qingfeng spent his days in cultivation and gaming, rarely going out.
The only inconvenience in the mountains was the difficulty brought by transporting various materials for refining puppets, which seemingly increased out of thin air. But with money, even ghosts grind the mill — as long as you could pay, these were not problems.
On this day.
As the sky was faintly lighting up, Lu Qingfeng sat cross-legged in front of a stone house, exercising his skills facing the sunrise. Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu were each sitting nearby, meditating.
Two hours later, when the sun was three poles high, Lu Qingfeng felt a piercing pain through his meridians and stopped cultivating.
Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu also got up and opened their eyes, asking their elder brother about the many confusions they had in cultivation.
Lu Qingfeng had extensive experience in cultivating through games, especially since his fourth life when he established Qingyuan Sword Sect on Fufeng Mountain, often providing guidance to hundreds of disciples.
He had encountered many of the questions his siblings asked more or less, and clarified them in a few words.
Both Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu had extremely poor Root Bone and only average aptitude. Without Lu Qingfeng's patience in resolving their doubts, even with the help of elixirs, their cultivation would have stalled.
While he was explaining.
A shadow flickered in the sky, and a graceful figure descended—it was the Daoist Miao Yin, who had arrived on a double-headed duck.
"You're really enjoying yourself as a hands-off shopkeeper!"
Daoist Miao Yin carried a black bundle in her hand, and seeing Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu gathered around Lu Qingfeng, a trace of envy and reminiscence flashed through her eyes, then dimmed.
"Thank you, City Lord, for these days."
Lu Qingfeng saw Daoist Miao Yin approaching and got up with a smile.
In the past five months, his communication with Daoist Miao Yin didn't break off because he left Miao Yin City; on the contrary, it became even closer.
Firstly, Daoist Miao Yin showed goodwill, secondly, Lu Qingfeng also needed someone with such far-reaching connections to help.
The two hit it off and their friendship progressed rapidly.
Not only in collecting various materials for Alchemy and Artifact Refining, but also in leading the reward-driven assassinations of the high-ranking members of the War God Society, it was all personally managed by Daoist Miao Yin.
Lu Qingfeng only needed to provide elixirs and talismans as rewards without spending any effort.
The cooperation was very smooth.

"City Lord."
"City Lord Sister!"
Lu Qingshan, with a constrained expression, followed behind his elder brother and called out softly. His experiences were after all not as vast as Lu Qingfeng's, and seeing such a top figure from the Upper Sun Country and also so beautiful, he was often too shy to look directly.
As for Lu Qingyu.
Initially, she felt that it was unclear whether Daoist Miao Yin was friend or foe, and she also had different thoughts about her elder brother, so she was somewhat hostile. But after interacting, Daoist Miao Yin learned what the little girl liked, and after a few meetings, Lu Qingyu even became more familiar with Daoist Miao Yin than Lu Qingfeng did.
Lu Qingfeng, being a loner himself, did not oppose his sister making friends unlike him.
Daoist Miao Yin smiled at them, then threw the bundle in her hand on the ground. The bundle emitted a smell of lime mixed with blood.
"Whose is it this time?"
Lu Qingfeng did not look, but directly asked Daoist Miao Yin.
"Duan Zhang."
Daoist Miao Yin said teasingly, "This time you have to bleed a lot. A Second Rank talisman with the power close to a Fourth Rank, top-level Qi Gathering Pills, are each priceless in this broken place of Upper Sun Country!"
"Duan Zhang?"
Lu Qingfeng ignored the teasing from Daoist Miao Yin and with a flick of his fingertips, a burst of sword light split open the bundle, revealing a head that had been treated with lime rolling out. The appearance was indeed identical to that of Duan Zhang, the Thunder War God of the War God Society, as rumored.
Seeing his head, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but feel joy.
Compared to Duan Zhang's head, a Second Rank Talisman and Qi Gathering Pills, though precious, were within an acceptable range. If he could also kill Wang Yan, there would truly be no future troubles.
Thinking of Wang Yan, Lu Qingfeng asked, "Duan Zhang was already at the late-stage of the True Qi Realm, and there are very few in Upper Sun Country who could kill him. May I know which esteemed elder made the move?"
In Upper Sun Country, those at the late-stage of the True Qi Realm are top-level experts.
Like Sect Master Zhuge Chongyang of the Returning to Truth Sect, with a cultivation of True Qi Realm Seventh Layer, he occupies three counties and enslaves a region, with no one daring to oppose him.
The three War Gods of the War God Society are also known for their late-stage True Qi Realm cultivation.
Whoever killed Duan Zhang must indeed be one of the few leading experts in Upper Sun Country.
"It was a joint effort by the two top-powerhouses of Upper Valley County."
Daoist Miao Yin replied.
"I see."
Lu Qingfeng nodded upon hearing this.
In Upper Valley County, the two great families stand opposed to each other. Among them, the old ancestor Murong Qi of the Murong Family and Zhang Xinzong, the family head of Upper Valley Zhang Family, are both long-renowned late-stage True Qi Realm experts.
As various experts from the martial world obtained talismans and elixir pills from Miao Yin City, their cultivation and combat prowess surged.
These two could finally not sit still anymore.
Once they acted, they killed Duan Zhang.
"What about Wang Yan?"
Lu Qingfeng asked again.
Since Murong Qi and Zhang Xinzong had joined forces to kill Duan Zhang, they would surely not mind killing another like Wang Yan.
"Wang Yan's head might no longer be seen. Someone claimed to have seen him enter the Crying Swamp. Probably hearing the news of Duan Zhang's death, he dared not stay in Upper Sun Country any longer."
Daoist Miao Yin smirked.
Indeed.
Wang Yan now was like a walking talisman and elixir pill. Once he appeared, although ordinary people would not dare to confront him, it would not be long before he attracted various top experts. Late-stage True Qi Realm top experts in Upper Sun Country are rare, but there is no shortage of mid-stage and early-stage experts.
Together, they could pose a threat to him.
He might as well dive headfirst into the Crying Swamp and leave his fate to the heavens! If he was lucky enough to traverse the Crying Swamp, perhaps another destiny awaited him.
"What a pity."
Lu Qingfeng shook his head.
The foggy Crying Swamp, trying to find Wang Yan's trace was like searching for a needle in the ocean, allowing him to escape with his life. However, the Crying Swamp was no place of mercy; blindly entering meant slim chances of survival. Even if Wang Yan was extremely lucky and crossed the Crying Swamp, at that time Lu Qingfeng would not fear him.
"All the effort from the Lord of Sun City, Qingfeng is immensely grateful."
With the demise of Duan Zhang and the escape of Wang Yan into the Crying Swamp, the grudges of the War God Society were finally put to rest. Daoist Miao Yin had contributed much, and Lu Qingfeng sincerely expressed his gratitude.
"If you really want to thank me, just take me with you when you leave Upper Sun Country," Daoist Miao Yin, staring at Lu Qingfeng, spoke with rare seriousness.
"You're so certain Qingfeng will leave Upper Sun Country?"
Lu Qingfeng asked, seeing the expression of Daoist Miao Yin.
Daoist Miao Yin just looked at Lu Qingfeng, not saying a word.
She was certain.
To a true cultivator, Upper Sun Country was nothing more than a tiny place.
Spirit Extinguishing Land was not enough to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. Lu Qingfeng, skilled in alchemy and artifact refining, would not willingly die of old age in Upper Sun Country with even the slightest ambition.
Leaving Upper Sun Country and heading to Three Mountains and Nine Waters was inevitable.
And to reach Three Mountains and Nine Waters, one must traverse the Crying Swamp. There's no one in Upper Sun Country who knew the dangers of the Crying Swamp better than Daoist Miao Yin. Lu Qingfeng, able to refine puppets, following him would be much safer than her going alone.
