Water elemental became a god, ultimately becoming the master of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers

Chapter 212 Head Cocooned, Skull Shining Divinely

After bidding farewell to Fangcang Envoy, Chen Shunan first went to see Lin Shouzhou, asking him to keep an eye on the situation at Sanchakou and take care of the finless porpoises such as Tunmengzi. He then prepared to set off that very night to return to Wuqing County.

Firstly, the Ran Yi An Divine Water reserved at Wohu Well has been exhausted in the past few days and needs to be replenished.

Secondly, with Zhao Guangxi, the head of the windlass, in the picture, if we don't use him now and leverage his influence to put pressure on the Wuqing sticky rod office, when will we?

A good leader is one you can use.

……

Another small-scale, private meeting has come to an end.

Lu Jing returned to his residence.

Under the eaves stood a woman in a long dress, the hem of which was slit, revealing a pair of long, straight legs.

When Yunruo saw Lu Jing, she immediately came to greet him.

"Lu Jing, your injury..."

Yun Ruo frowned and looked Lu Jing up and down.

Last time, Lu Jing and others joined forces to assassinate Zhao Guanghui.

Although successful, Lu Jing had fought for many days and had just returned from the Funiu Marsh. His injuries were not light, and his spiritual energy was fluctuating, overdrawing his foundation.

Yun Ruo then immediately went to Tongzhou City to find the imperial physician, Master Zhong Yuan, to treat him.

As a result, Yun Ruo received the news as soon as she arrived in Tongzhou City.

Lu Jing has recovered!
They even went so far as to destroy the old and establish the new, and then they executed the five traitors!

Others might think that Lu Jing is exceptionally talented, a martial arts prodigy who has never been seen before.

Yunruo had been following Lu Jing for many years and had long harbored feelings for him, but she vaguely felt that something was amiss.

Yun Ruo reached out, instinctively trying to grab Lu Jing's sleeve.

Lu Jing subtly dodged, causing Yun Ruo's attack to miss. His expression turned somewhat cold as he said...

"Yunruo, I have no interest in romantic relationships, so you'd better not make a mistake for yourself."

Yun Ruo's face paled slightly, her pearly teeth gently biting her red lips, but she looked at Lu Jing with unwavering determination and said,

"My heart belongs to you; what does it have to do with you?"

"Then please do as you please."

Lu Jing flicked his sleeves, walked into the room, and gave instructions to those around him.
"I'm going to rest for a while, and I don't want anyone to disturb me."

"Yes, Chief Lu."

Several martial artists nodded, their eyes sharp as lightning, and stood outside the door.

Yun Ruo remained silent for a moment, then prepared to leave.

Then Shi Lin rushed over, but was stopped by the martial artist guarding the gate.

"The Consul General has given instructions that no guests will be received tonight."

"This……"

Shi Lin looked embarrassed, but could only retreat dejectedly.

"What business do you have with Director Lu?"

Yun Ruo's voice came through.

Shi Lin turned around and saw the person who had arrived. He couldn't help but show a respectful expression, cupped his hands, and said...

"Replying to Senior Yunruo, I've come for a batch of documents; it's from Chen Shunan..."

Shi Lin did not hide anything and told the whole story.

Oh, Chen Shunan?
Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Yun Ruo's eyes.

She clearly remembered him.

"Give me the approval document, and I'll pass it on for you. I'll keep watch for Director Lu tonight."

Shi Lin was obviously aware of Yun Ruo's relationship with Lu Lingban, so he didn't hesitate. He took out the approval document from his pocket, handed it to Lu Lingban, and then quickly left.

As night deepened, the snow fell heavily.

The night watchman struck the third watch at the alley entrance; the sound of his clapper traveled through the snow, muffled and dull.

Yunruo leaned against a pillar in the corridor, staring blankly at the snow.

She suddenly realized something and looked out at the cobblestone alleyway.

Then a peddler dressed as a vendor, carrying a load on a pole, came swaying along.

Upon approaching, the servant put down his load, revealed his identity, and lifted his cotton veil, saying...
"Gentlemen, I'm from 'Fresh Fish Shop' at the fish market. I'm here to deliver a late-night snack to Officer Lu: fresh purple crabs and silver fish..."

It's no secret that Lu Jing loves to eat purple crabs and silver fish.

He even specifically instructed that if Fresh Fish House had any fresh catch, they should definitely send it to him.

Yunruo carefully examined the servant and, after confirming that there was nothing wrong, nodded silently.

Upon seeing this, the guard went to inform the servant before letting him into the room.

in the house.

Lu Jing had just finished circulating his Qi through the Small Heavenly Circuit, and his palms were still warm with Qi and blood.

Seeing the servant carrying a load approaching, he pointed to the table and said calmly,

"Just leave it there, I'll cook it myself. You can go back now."

"Yes, Master Lu!"

The servant dared not hesitate and put down the load before leaving.

Before long, a steaming white vapor, mixed with spiciness and umami, filled the room.

As Lu Jing was facing the golden-yellow copper hot pot, a thought suddenly struck him. As if sensing something, he pulled out a wax pellet from the curled handle at the edge of the scalding hot pot.

Crush the wax pellet and unfold the secret letter.

Lu Jing raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"Guangxi actually ordered me to immediately give Chen Shun'an the Purple Iron Calamus Milk, and also to give him a piece of 'Stubborn Iron Essence'?"

Purple iron calamus milk is fine.

And the Wan Gong iron ore is also no ordinary substance.

It was the iron essence from the iron ore vein that Grandmaster Tieyu inhabited after his death in Xishan, his undying will permeating the vein.

Ordinary iron ore is nothing special; it's just a material used to forge superior weapons.

However, this stubborn iron spirit, imbued with the residual will of Grandmaster Tie Yu, is fierce and menacing, and contains an extremely faint trace of the Grandmaster's intent.

If one were to confront the stubborn Iron Spirit directly, and use it for visualization to withstand its malevolent aura, one might even have a chance to glimpse some of the former grandmaster Iron Jade's prowess.

To enter the tomb of Master Tieyu and search for treasures in the iron ore vein, one must first use the help of the stubborn iron spirit to familiarize oneself with the residual pressure of the master in the iron ore vein.

It is equivalent to a key or credential.

So… Lu Jing’s expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

"Could it be that Guangxi has some kind of leverage that Chen Shunan has over him? I'm afraid even his own father isn't that much more capable..."

"Wait a minute, Chen Shunan has some connection with the Zhang family in Tongzhou... Zhang Xiangling arrived in Wuqing County a few days ago... Could it be that Guangxi wants to use Chen Shunan to get in touch with Zhang Xiangling and use her connections to scheme for the year-end quota at Aoshan Taoist Academy?"

In an instant, Lu Jing's thoughts raced, and he vaguely sensed Zhao Guangxi's plan.

"Well, Guangxi values ​​Chen Shunan so much, there must be a reason for it."

Lu Jing nodded silently, then forcefully vomited, turning the secret letter into dust.

Finished eating.

Lu Jing sat back on the bed, closed his eyes, and meditated, silently using his profound skills.

Lu Jing has now killed five traitors, leaving only the Tongue Thief unkilled.

Even with Lu Jing's talent, taking this final step to achieve the Six Thieves' Perfection is no easy feat.

Without any special opportunities or good fortune, it would probably take more than ten years to make any progress.

Gradually, Lu Jing entered a state of deep meditation.

The person's consciousness seemed to shrink back to the space between their eyebrows.

He vaguely saw a cloud of smoke and haze, from which rays of light shone, strange noises arose, and demonic shadows flew about like a raging tide, creating great chaos.

Meanwhile, on his physical body in reality.

Suddenly, wisps of flowing golden threads appeared, seemingly possessing some kind of self-awareness, flowing with his blood and qi, crawling through his flesh and veins, and finally surging towards his head.

Sometimes it would emerge from his nostrils, sometimes it would emerge from under his eyelids, and then it would transform into some kind of cocoon, enveloping his entire head.

The cultivation method practiced by Lu Jing is called "Jade Flaw Embracing Flaw Technique". It is an extremely superior technique and does not involve visualizing birds, beasts, insects, fish, or other living beings.

Abandoning the tempering of the skin and membranes, all the energy and strength of the body are gathered in the jade tree, tempering the bones to the extreme.

Then, the jade-like bones drive the advancement of the skin and true meaning, forcibly breaking through the realm of true meaning.

The image visualized in the True Skill Diagram is a [Nine-Aperture Jade Spirit].

At this moment, with the appearance of strange golden threads, Lu Jing's entire body emitted a faint light, almost turning into jade. Especially at the head, a divine light seemed to bloom, and smoke and clouds rose.

Something seems to be brewing within it.

It provides nutrition for a certain type of fetus.

"Huh? What's that noise?"

Outside the courtyard, Yun Ruo vaguely sensed something and, in a daze, saw a strange light on the wall of Lu Jing's house.

She was a little worried, so she leaped up and arrived outside Lu Jing's house in an instant.

"Brother Lu?"

No one answered.

But then they saw golden rays of light flickering on the windows of the room.

Yunruo was a little curious, so she poked a hole in the window paper and looked inside.

He then saw that Lu Jing was facing away from him inside the room.

But his head was covered in a silkworm cocoon, and his skull shone with divine radiance.

Then Lu Jing's body suddenly trembled and convulsed.

And so, the cocoon burst open.

One by one, tiny spirits resembling locusts emerged from within.

Its features were blurred, with only its eyes, ears, nose, and tongue protruding. There was also a small spirit with all its features and full of intelligence. Then it looked out the window and glanced at Yun Ruo.

"what!"

Yun Ruo couldn't help but cover her mouth and scream in surprise. Her mind was in turmoil, and she instinctively turned around.

Then a shadow completely enveloped him.

She looked up blankly and saw Lu Jing's face with its distinct features.

But Lu Jing was unusually cold at this moment, and even felt completely unfamiliar to her.

"You...you saw me?" Lu Jing stared blankly at Yun Ruo.

……

After a while.

The chaotic and murky atmosphere that Lu Jing had been contemplating suddenly dissipated, along with the strange noises and demonic figures.

It has a sense of clarity, purity, freedom, and fulfillment.

Lu Jing then ended his cultivation and slowly opened his eyes.

Qi and blood flow like rivers and seas, and the mind is light as if a spirit dwells within.

His tongue touched the roof of his mouth, and saliva dripped down, like sweet dew, giving him a jolt.

"Huh? How come my cultivation has improved so much in just one cycle of practice? How come I'm showing signs of becoming a tongue-cutter?"

Lu Jing looked at his hands with some confusion.

He clenched his fist slightly, as if a muffled thunder rumbled, and exhaled a breath of turbid air that was five or six feet thick, yet he handled it with ease, without even lifting a thin sheet of paper on the table.

"But it seems normal?"

The suspicion that arose in my heart quickly dissipated.

Lu Jing accepted his bizarre and dramatic change as a matter of course.

He got out of bed, ignoring the human-shaped pile of dust at his feet, walked outside to the courtyard, summoned his trusted aide, took out his personal badge, and said...

"Give this waist token to Chen Shunan and go to the Military Academy immediately. Have someone prepare the Purple Iron Calamus Milk and the Stubborn Iron Essence and give them to him."

"Yes, Lord Lu!"

A flicker of shock crossed the confidant's eyes. He took the waist token and immediately set off to find Chen Shunan.

The sky was still dark.

Lu Jing returned to the house to rest for a while.

Suddenly, tears streamed down his face.

He touched it with his hand and found his fingers were wet.

He was puzzled and stared at his palm for a moment.

Confusion, pain, struggle.

In an instant, everything returned to normal.

He quietly went to bed to rest.
