The immortals of the two worlds started from farming and refining pills.

Upon hearing this, Li Qing looked at Zhang Chong and said nothing.

Naturally, Lu Qiong's move was intended to target all the cultivators who had come to the Lu family to seek martial arts, including the two of them.

But judging from their own experiences, this calculation did not harm them. On the contrary, it helped them go further on the path of cultivation.

Even if those cultivators who relied on it to achieve the third level but did not return the book would have some of their luck taken away, it would be nothing compared to what they gained.

However, which practitioner would not feel resentful if a relationship was forced upon him without any negotiation?

Li Qing naturally felt a little unhappy.

He looked at the huge turtle and the scripture cave on its back with a deep gaze, without saying a word.

Zhang Chong looked towards the direction of the Sutra Cave, his eyes slightly fixed, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Lu Cong also knew that what he had done had offended some people. He looked at the Sutra Cave and prayed silently: "Brother, I hope your plan will succeed..."

No matter what everyone present thought, the inspiration in the Sutra Cave over there was further sublimating.

The spiritual energy originally rose in the air and turned into a canopy, covering the Turtle Mountain.

A figure was vaguely visible in the canopy, with disheveled hair and bare feet, dressed in a black robe, golden armor and jade belt, holding a sword and glaring, stepping on a turtle and snake, with a round halo covering his head, looking extremely majestic.

But soon, the figure suddenly disintegrated and turned into a book. As the pages turned, there were flashing heavenly books, each word was full of gems.

"Rumble--"

A loud thunder exploded in the sky.

Then, an endless thunderstorm submerged the Sutra Cave, sweeping down like a torrent of waves from the sky.

The giant turtle under the Sutra Cave let out a "wow" and curled its head and limbs into its shell.

Only a long and thin tail was left touching the ground, and it used its clever strength to direct the lightning scattered from its body into the earth.

It is not difficult to see that although this big turtle was in the thunderstorm, it was not seriously affected, which is very strange.

But just because the big turtle is not affected doesn't mean the people watching nearby are safe.

"Retreat quickly!" Li Qing shouted in a low voice, pulling Li Hu and the other little guys back several miles.

Zhang Chong was also retreating.

He came here alone and there was no one who needed protection, so he sighed again and took Lu Cong and other senior members of the Lu family out.

Li Qing looked at the endless thunderstorm with a stern expression, feeling that its intensity far exceeded the scope of the Dan Jie calamity.

Although the power of a single bolt of lightning is not as strong as when Master Chumu attacked the Nascent Soul stage, this endless momentum looks even more terrifying.

"Fellow Daoist Lu Qiong, what kind of path is this?" Li Qing murmured to himself.

Lu Cong, who was still in shock, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said, "Initially, my brother wanted to follow the ancient path of specializing in one realm, and wanted to push the foundation of Taoism to the extreme."

This point is known to all cultivators above the foundation building stage. Li Qing has also heard of it: "But now it is like this, it is obviously not a foundation abnormality..."

Lu Cong sighed: "But later, he was injured for no apparent reason, and his foundation was incomplete, making it difficult for him to achieve the Great Dao, so he found another way to achieve the Great Dao of the Primordial Spirit..."

Zhang Chong was greatly shocked and looked at the book that was submerged by thunder: "Is that the Yuanshen Dharma Image that he cultivated?"

Lu Cong spread his hands and said, "Master, you think too highly of me. I am just a Qi training cultivator, how can I understand these things?"

Li Qing glanced at him lightly and said, "If you said this before today, I would believe it. But now, I doubt everything you say."

Lu Cong smiled bitterly helplessly.

So everyone stopped talking and turned their eyes to the thunder, watching the situation evolve.

Thunderstorms fell one after another in the sky. The big turtle remained like a tortoise, and there was not even a single bit of blackening on its shell.

Only the Sutra Cave, whose walls were shattered by thunder, could vaguely see the bookshelves inside and the various skills on the bookshelves.

In the center of the Sutra Cave, there was a person sitting quietly, surrounded by mysterious light. A precious book was unfolded above his head, and countless heavenly symbols flew out to resist the invasion of thunder.

Li Qing knew that this person was the mysterious ancestor Lu Qiong without Lu Cong's introduction!

At this time, the thunder in the sky was coming to an end.

Lu Qiong suddenly opened his eyes, and countless heavenly book symbols appeared and disappeared in his eyes.

He looked up at the sky and shouted softly: "Retreat!"

Then, an increasingly fiery inspiration rose into the sky and merged into the canopy, like an umbrella holding up an umbrella, pushing the thunder and lightning away like falling rain.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the Thunder, which was already at the end of its strength, disappeared into thin air.

Lu Qiong stood up from the cave and bowed to Li Qing and Zhang Chong through the damaged wall of the Cave of Scriptures.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Li and Fellow Daoist Zhang. It is thanks to you two that I was able to make a breakthrough. I am truly grateful."

Li Qing and Zhang Chong both had smiles on their faces, without any resentment at all.

Li Qing said: "Brother Dao, you are too kind. Good deeds will bring good results. This is the cycle of nature. We have achieved each other's success. Why should I thank you?"

Zhang Chong also said: "Exchanging Taoist methods and sharing what we have is exactly the style of our generation. Brother Dao has such a broad mind, which is really admirable."

For a moment, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Lu Qiong smiled slightly, looking at the robes on his body that were destroyed by thunder: "Please wait for a moment, I will go and clean up, and then we can talk about Taoism."

Li Qing smiled and said, "Brother Dao, please go ahead. I will go back to the cave and sort out what I have gained today."

Zhang Chong also echoed the comments.

Lu Qiong stomped his foot suddenly, and the giant turtle under the Sutra Library stretched out its head, and its four big feet like stone pillars supported its huge body steadily.

"You lazy bastard, you just hide in your shell when you encounter problems. What else can I expect from you?" Lu Qiong scolded softly.

The giant turtle was not angry. It shook its head and wagged its tail, carrying the Sutra Cave towards the back mountain.

Despite its amazing size, there was not even a single vibration when it stepped on the ground.

Li Qing could see clearly that every time the giant turtle landed on its four legs, it generated a force from the earth's magnetic field, which offset the aura of the Turtle Mountain's geomagnetic field.

In this way, when it walks, it seems to have no weight at all, almost floating on the ground.

Zhang Chong did not return to the cave where he was staying, but followed Li Qing directly here.

He muttered, "Fellow Daoist Li, that giant turtle just now, I'm afraid it has the strength of the late Jindan stage, right?"

Li Qing frowned slightly: "Based on its spiritual power performance, it is about the same. But considering its huge size, I am afraid it must be three times stronger."

It was just that the difference between the third and fourth levels was fundamental. Neither of them believed that the giant turtle had the strength of a Nascent Soul.

Zhang Chong asked again, "What about Brother Lu Qiong? Do you think he has reached the fourth level?"

Li Qing shook his head: "I am not at that level yet, so I can't see clearly. But based on my spiritual perception, he is at least three points more powerful than the giant turtle."

The two men had serious looks in their eyes; what happened today was clearly beyond their expectations.

"However, since it is a good fate, perhaps we can gain more today..." A trace of longing flashed in Zhang Chong's eyes.
