The next day, early morning.
Early in the morning, Lu Changsheng was called to the Demon Suppression Office by Qin Ruobing.
When Lu Changsheng stepped into the hall, he saw Qin Ruobing lowering his head and reviewing official documents with a solemn expression on his face.
Seeing Lu Changsheng coming, Qin Ruobing put down the brush in her hand and smiled sweetly.
"I called you today mainly because I have something to tell you."
"Please let me know, Palace Master."
Lu Changsheng smiled faintly.
"What do you think about Duan Lingyun being beheaded?"
Qin Ruobing's eyes moved slightly.
"I believe that the cultists will definitely resort to crazy revenge next."
Lu Changsheng's face was very calm, as if he had nothing to do with the matter.
"Indeed, this is one of the reasons why I summoned you. Be very careful when you go out on patrol. The ghost masters ahead may have the ability to exchange blood. If you encounter them, run away immediately."
Qin Ruobing looked serious.
The two patrol envoys under her are not top-notch in strength, so naturally she doesn't want them to fall easily.
"I heard that you also practiced defensive techniques?"
After a moment, she spoke again.
"Um."
Lu Changsheng nodded.
"well..."
Qin Ruobing sighed softly upon hearing this.
"The path of martial arts is like climbing a dangerous mountain. The higher you go, the harder it becomes. However, a martial artist's energy is limited, so the foundation must be on realm..."
She had seen too many geniuses who wasted half their lives because they wanted to cultivate themselves to perfection.
"I know."
Lu Changsheng smiled faintly and didn't explain anything.
It is impossible to tell others about such a heaven-defying thing as your own panel.
Seeing this, Qin Ruobing showed a hint of disappointment in the corner of her eyes.
In her opinion, even a person with extraordinary talent could not simultaneously cultivate realm, swordsmanship, speed, and defense to the highest level.
If one delays for more than ten years and his Qi and blood decline, it will be difficult to reach the true pinnacle of martial arts.
But she had already given the warning, so there was nothing more to say.
I can only sigh in my heart.
"According to the County Master's plan, he will leave the city to clean up the bandits and cults in about four years. I hope you understand..."
She couldn't help but speak again.
The meaning is obvious.
Lu Changsheng only has four years left.
If we can't seize the time to improve our strength, it will be extremely dangerous when the war comes.
By then, even I can't say that I can protect a group of demon-suppressing envoys 100%.
"Thank you for the reminder, Palace Master."
Lu Changsheng bowed with a solemn expression.
He also understood that given the increasingly urgent situation, a war might not be far away.
Four years? That's enough time for me to grow.
He set a small goal for himself in his mind.
Breakthrough to complete blood transfusion within two years, and use the remaining time to strive for a higher level.
With the vast number of spiritual creatures in the Cangyun Mountains, this task is not difficult.
Just as the two were talking, light footsteps were heard outside the hall.
Lu Changsheng turned his head and looked.
I saw a woman in white walking towards me. She had a pretty face and outstanding temperament.
Within a few breaths, the woman walked into the hall.
This woman was another patrol envoy under Qin Ruobing.
"This subordinate pays homage to Palace Master Qin."
Tong Yuhua smiled and bowed.
He glanced at Lu Changsheng beside him with some surprise.
She also didn't know why the Palace Master summoned the two of them together today.
"sit."
Qin Ruobing smiled faintly.
Tong Yuhua sat down gently and looked at Qin Ruobing with a puzzled look.
Both of them were quietly waiting for Qin Ruobing to speak.
At this time, Qin Ruobing took out two strange stones emitting white light and placed them on the table in front.
"This is?"
Lu Changsheng and the other two looked quite surprised.
They had never seen anything like it before.
Naturally very curious.
"This item is a communication gem, developed by the Tiangong Temple not long ago. It is quite valuable, so it cannot be equipped to demon suppressors on a large scale."
"As long as the gem is activated within a hundred miles, it can be sensed by others holding it."
Qin Ruobing explained with a smile.
"I'll give these two to you two. Besides me, there are only two shares in this branch temple."
"Thank you, Palace Master."
Lu Changsheng and the other man were all smiling.
This thing is quite good. At least it gives you a backup plan when you are in crisis.
"Do the other patrol envoys have it?"
Tong Yuhua smiled sweetly.
She guessed that the Demon Suppression Department wanted them to go on a tour outside the city and use the gems to help each other.
"The other four patrol envoys have it, plus the four masters of the Black Armor Army, a total of ten people."
"When you are in danger, you can try to inspire and wait for support."
Qin Ruobing explained with a smile.
"The next deputy hall master will also be chosen from among the six of you. I hope you two will do your best to strive for it."
"As long as you can achieve the feat, I will fully support you."
Her expression was very calm.
I didn't have much hope for this, but just said a few words of encouragement as usual.
The two patrol officers under his command were almost at the bottom in terms of strength. It was already good enough that they could survive the fierce conflict. Naturally, he did not dare to ask for anything more.
"We will not let down the Palace Master's cultivation."
Tong Yuhua and the other person bowed, their faces solemn.
Then Lu Changsheng and the other person picked up the strange stone on the table and said goodbye and left.
...
After Lu Changsheng returned home, he took out the communication stone and played with it for a while.
I soon figured out how to inspire.
Just a trace of energy and blood can immediately transmit one's position, which is extremely convenient.
From now on, the six patrolling envoys of the Demon Suppression Bureau can use this item to communicate when they are on missions outside.
Among these six patrol envoys, the two patrol envoys under Palace Master He Chunlin are the strongest.
I'm afraid it has the strength to undergo a blood transfusion.
Next are the two patrol envoys under Xiao Tianci.
As for Lu Changsheng and the other two, they are recognized as the weakest patrol envoys in the Demon Suppression Bureau.
Of course, this is also the reason why Lu Changsheng did not choose to expose himself.
In his opinion, these rankings are just empty names.
The higher you rank, the more likely you are to be targeted by cultists.
Lu Changsheng is still used to developing in a low-key manner.
...
Late at night, it is as quiet as water.
Lu Changsheng separated a strand of his thoughts and put them into the pangolin's body.
Looking around, the cave was still filled with a hot atmosphere.
The queen ant lay quietly in the center of the cave, her breath becoming increasingly steady.
After being upgraded to a third-level monster, the queen ant's egg-laying speed has also increased significantly.
Not only that, the quality of the ant eggs produced has also been significantly improved.
Some ants are born as second-level monsters.
With the addition of a large amount of fire crystals from the crater, the ant colony expanded several times in a short period of time.
Next, Lu Changsheng will control the ant colony to start searching the lava river with all their might.
He suspected that those high-level fire crystals were washed up from the lava river. As long as he could collect some of them, it would be enough to greatly increase his strength.
The breakthrough and blood transfusion will be completed within two years, and it depends on how many spiritual objects can be unearthed from this magma river.
Although there are a large number of fire toads in the lava river, they can still start the action with the help of the ant colony, although the consumption of the ant colony will be very high.
However, time was running out, so Lu Changsheng had no choice but to do so.
Just as Lu Changsheng was thinking, a huge fire ant crawled into the cave with an extremely bright fire crystal in its mouth.
A flash of fiery red light instantly illuminated the dark cave.
Even Lu Changsheng was alarmed.
He quickly rushed to the fire ant and placed his claws on the fire crystal.
"I found a fire crystal. Do you want to absorb it?"
"absorb."
Lu Changsheng looked quite confused, as this was the first time he had encountered this Fire Crystal Marrow.
He clicked the absorb button.
"Add 50 energy points."
A clear reminder sound rang in my mind.
Lu Changsheng looked surprised.
I didn't expect that this small piece of crystal could increase so many source energy points.
Several times more than high-level fire crystals.
"There must be a lot of this crystal essence at the bottom of the magma river. He must find a way to get it."
Lu Changsheng felt a little hot in his heart.
These crystal essences are related to his chance of taking off.
The next few days.
Lu Changsheng has been ordering the ant colony to go to the lava river to collect spiritual objects.
Six days passed in a flash.
In the past few days, a lot of fire crystals have been collected, and even a piece of fire crystal marrow has been collected again.
This made him quite satisfied.
Open the panel.
Source energy points: 520.
I have once again broken through the 500 mark, and I can now add points to my own skills.
...
