Yellow Court Daoist

Chapter 297 - 278 Qingyu, Development

Leaving the Sunset Peak.

Lu Qingfeng found his direction and returned to Feiyun Island.

He stepped into the cave residence.

With a wave of his wide sleeve, a scene appeared in mid-air—

In the dense forest.

A graceful figure flickered, clutching a Black Banner in her hand, with seven Evil Spirits closely following on either side. Shadowy figures flashed ahead, occasionally revealing their tracks—it was a Black Fox Demon, sometimes transforming into human form, sometimes into a fox, with cunning flashing in its eyes.

"Monster!"

"Where do you think you're going!"

Qingyu commanded the Seven Evils, with a Gale rising under her feet, sweeping her and the Evil Spirits forward in pursuit.

Swoosh!

In the blink of an eye.

Sword Qi burst forth, aiming to block the Black Fox.

The Black Fox was agile; with a roll in mid-air, it dodged the Sword Qi, speeding up even more.

"Rain Flower Sword!"

"Swift!"

Qingyu pinched the Seal Technique, and a Flying Sword shot out, heading straight for the Black Fox's back heart.

"Not good!"

The Black Fox flickered, stopping in mid-air. The Flying Sword missed its target, colliding with the dense forest ahead—

Boom!

The booming sound rang out, the Sword Qi rampaged, breaking more than a dozen trees in succession and smashing fiercely onto the ground, creating a pit several meters wide.

Although the Flying Sword missed.

Taking this opportunity, the Seven Evils descended around the Black Fox, trapping it from all sides.

"Now's the time!"

The panic on the Black Fox's face disappeared, and with a raise of its hand, several black lights shot out, slamming hard toward Qingyu's face, "Ha ha! Little missy, taste the special Hundred Fragrance Pills prepared by this Fox Lord!"

With one hand holding the Black Banner and the other pinching a Seal Technique chanting a spell, her body shone with Golden Light, clearly the use of Super-level Techniques—

Vajra Spell!

It was difficult to master Divine Skills. Qingfeng and Qingyu had limited cultivation aptitude and just average comprehension. Even with daily guidance from Lu Qingfeng, they mastered only a few techniques, and had never delved into Divine Skills.

However, having two or three Super-level Techniques at her disposal was enough to handle many situations, even allowing her to defeat stronger opponents in the Xuanyuan Realm.

Such as Qingyu.

Besides a few Middle-level Techniques mastered in the Crying Swamp, she had also grasped three Super-level Techniques from the advanced versions of these Middle-level Techniques.

Like the 'Golden Light Spell' enhanced to form the 'Vajra Spell.' Lu Qingfeng had already strengthened it to Divine Power Level, but Qingyu had only managed to grasp the Super-level version.

And the 'Five Thunders Skill' enhanced to form 'Hand Heart Thunder,' was also a Super-level version.

There was one last technique, the Super-level 'Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation,' used for chasing and escaping.

Three Super-level Techniques.

One for defense.

One for offense.

One for escape.

By diligently contemplating and practicing these three techniques repeatedly, combined with the Magic Artifacts refined by Lu Qingfeng for Qingyu, even at the True Qi Realm, she could remain undefeated against Foundation Establishment opponents.

And possibly even defeat them.

The Black Fox before her was a little demon at Foundation Establishment level, already capable of human transformation and with no small number of tricks.

But facing Qingyu who had reached the Late-stage True Qi Realm, it was still chased and scurried away in panic.

Qingyu had the upper hand, but her expression remained serious.

Protected by the Technique, safeguarded by Vajra.

The so-called 'Hundred Fragrance Pills' hit the barrier of Golden Light from the Vajra Spell and burst directly, turning into a black mist, trying to penetrate through the Golden Light and tarnish the flesh.

But after all, the Vajra Spell was a Super-level Technique, though Qingyu had only learned the basics, it was not easily broken.

Golden Light flickered, the black mist continuously dispersed.

Eventually, it turned into wisps of black smoke and disappeared.

"This—"

The Black Fox Demon's complexion changed, feeling that something was amiss. It attempted to flee, but saw the Seven Evils encircling it. The cunning female cultivator stepped forward with fast-paced movements.

"Hand Heart Thunder!"

Hand Heart Thunder activated, and Thunder descended.

The Black Fox Demon hurriedly defended.

Unfortunately.

With the Seven Evils setting the formation and Qingyu leading the attack, the Black Fox at Foundation Establishment Condensing Liquid stage couldn't last until the second incense stick burnt down. It was beheaded by the Qing Yuan Sword Light that shot out and fell to the ground.

Its life ended.

"Hu hu!"

Having slain a powerful enemy, Qingyu was also somewhat tired, panting slightly. All the while, she controlled the Seven Evils to

Common people only notice Lu Qingfeng's promotion to Fourth Rank but overlook the rapid progress of Feiyun Island.

Looking at everyone below, Lu Qingfeng nods slightly.

He is ambitious about taking charge of the Combined Pill Hall. Before that, being able to cultivate a team to strengthen the Combined Pill Hall, solidifying his own foundation, is naturally excellent.

His gaze sweeps over, and everyone below is full of respect and admiration.

Lu Qingfeng waves his hand, and eleven Jade Scrolls fall into everyone's hands. Everyone takes them and is not in a hurry to look, but their eyes looking up towards Lu Qingfeng are filled with anticipation.

They have experienced this scenario several times before.

"This is the top-level Qi Condensing Pill elixir recipe. Familiarize yourself with it, and then it can be handed over to your high-level and top-level alchemy apprentices for refining."

Lu Qingfeng speaks out loud.

"Top-level elixir?"

Liu Feng's eyes light up.

The other alchemists feel the same.

In the past few years, Lu Qingfeng has been gradually producing intermediate elixirs and advanced elixirs, but now he can even improve top-level elixir recipes?

Based on past experience, wouldn't this Qi Condensing Pill be comparable in efficacy to a First-rank Spirit Pill?!

"It's not that exaggerated."

Lu Qingfeng sees what's on everyone's mind and shakes his head, "Top-level elixirs and First-rank Spirit Pills may seem separated by a wall, but the reality is more like a chasm. Although this Qi Condensing Pill recipe has been improved by me and its efficacy greatly increased, it's still less than twice as strong as a normal top-level elixir, far from the First-rank Spirit Pill."

"Not that! Less than twice?!"

The alchemists on the stage exchange glances, finding themselves at a loss for words. Such statements could only be made by the number one alchemy genius of the Combined Pill Hall from the past thousands of years standing before them.
