Chapter 155
After leaving Zuiyun Tower, Lu Ren and Lin Yongning separated.
This kid was busy going home, probably to tell his father, Lin Yaotian, the head of the Lin family, about the conflict with Zhao Mingjie.
Although Zhao Mingjie did not continue to make things difficult, it is possible that he was afraid of Lu Ren's strength, pretending to leave and then going back to the Zhao family to ask for help.
In short, it is definitely right to be cautious and make preparations.
Lu Ren actually did not think that the Zhao family could stir up any waves, and Lin Yongning's worries seemed a bit redundant to him.
In contrast, the head of the Liu family invited him to a gathering in the evening, which was a bit strange.
As the four major families, Lin, Zhao, Liu, and Lu, the overall strength of the four families is almost the same, and only the Lin family may be slightly stronger.
Zhao Mingjie remained silent after learning his identity.
It is normal for the Liu family to want to win him over.
But the meaning of the messenger's words is more like forcing Lu Ren to take sides.
If you can't be friends with the Liu family, you can only become mortal enemies.
At that time, the head of the Liu family may not know that he has been promoted to a six-star demon-suppressing lieutenant.
But just because he killed a late-stage spiritual demon by himself, it is enough to guess that he has a perfect meridian cultivation, right?
Looking at the four major families, how many people can reach this level?
Unless they are crazy, no one will take the initiative to create an enemy with strong strength and a very high upper limit for themselves.
Of course, there is another possibility.
There is someone behind the Liu family!
Who could it be?
Lu Ren looked up at the sky, it was still early.
Before going to the Liu family to keep the appointment, he had to go back to the Demon Suppression Division.
The mission reward for Shanyang County has not been received yet.
As for the Shanyin County trip, it was an emergency, not an official mission issued by the Demon Suppression Division.
So he will not get any extra rewards, but because Lin Jinyan gave all the credit to him.
Lu Ren has accumulated a lot of merits, and promotion is just one of them.
Now that he is the only six-star captain in the branch, he naturally has extraordinary authority.
He can choose the martial arts and elixirs in the Lingbao Pavilion at will.
He no longer has to spend a lot of time and effort to negotiate with others like he did last time when he chose the martial arts "Phantom Step".
..........
The mission reward for hunting wolf monsters is fixed, a low-grade magic weapon, and a bottle of second-level Gathering Spirit Pill.
The Liuyun Broken Moon Blade that Wei Chen had made for him was destroyed in the battle of Shanyin City, and Lu Ren was in urgent need of a weapon.
As for the Juling Pill, it was something he urgently needed at the moment.
With this pill, he would be able to break through to the Qi Condensation Realm.
Of course, it would be best to use it together with the effects deduced by the panel after accumulating enough demon lifespan, which should maximize the value of this pill.
There was also a breakthrough in the body forging that had to be put on the agenda.
He already had the third-level Qi Refining Technique, and he would go to Lingbao Pavilion to see if there was a suitable third-level body forging technique.
Although he had already merged the second-level "Golden Gang Sutra" with the first-level "Nourishing Blood Sutra", he had obtained the third-level technique "Golden Gang Blood Demon Sutra" that he had not yet started.
But Lu Ren vaguely felt that this technique had some flaws. If conditions permitted, it would be best to have another third-level technique as a reference.
Moreover, the panel also has the effect of fusion of martial arts. When the two martial arts are fused together, won't it be possible to obtain a new martial art of excellent quality?
After Lu Ren explained his purpose, Mr. Zheng called his assistant Su Ming.
Lu Ren smiled and greeted him: "Brother Su Ming, long time no see."
Su Ming, dressed in white, glanced at him, his face a little embarrassed and unnatural.
Last time, Lu Ren gave up the selection of many carefully selected first-level martial arts just to take a look at the second-level "Phantom Step".
Su Ming was very puzzled by Lu Ren's choice at the time, and he repeatedly dissuaded him, hoping that he would think clearly before making a decision.
After all, the opportunity to enter the Lingbao Pavilion is very precious and hard-won.
But Lu Ren did not listen to the dissuasion and insisted on watching the "Phantom Step" on the spot.
Su Ming himself has also practiced this martial art, so he naturally knows how difficult it is.
But Lu Ren claimed that he had finished reading it in just a few breaths.
Su Ming suspected that he was bragging and scolded him.
In his opinion, Lu Ren's behavior was just nonsense.
Even Lin Jinyan, who was as talented as her, practiced for a year before she could perfect the "Phantom Step".
Lu Ren was just a newcomer.
How could a newcomer who had just arrived master this martial art with a very high threshold for cultivation with just one look?
This is simply a fantasy!
But now, Su Ming knew.
Lu Ren was not blindly confident, but he really had the strength and confidence to do so.
I still remember that when they parted last time, Lu Ren made a bet with him, betting on whether he could practice "The Mysterious Step" to the fifth stage of perfection within a month.
The bet was a bottle of second-level elixir that improves Qi and blood.
Su Ming agreed without thinking at the time.
After all, even Sikong Luan, who was known as the number one prodigy in Tianchenzhou, might not be able to master "The Mysterious Step" in such a short time.
Even though Su Ming had been confirmed by different people, he still felt that all this was so unreal, as if he was living in a dream.
"Brother Su Ming, what's wrong with you?" Lu Ren waved his arm in front of him.
Su Ming came back to his senses, smiled dryly and nodded: "Long time no see, you... are stronger."
"Brother Su Ming..."
Before Lu Ren finished speaking, Su Ming grabbed him and whispered with his back to Zheng Lao:
"I lost the bet. I will prepare the second-level Qi and Blood Pill you want as soon as possible, but please don't spread the news, okay?"
Su Ming looked at him anxiously, with a sincere look on his face.
Lu Ren couldn't help laughing and said, "Oh, if you didn't say it, I would have forgotten about it. It was Brother Su Ming who reminded me of the righteousness.
The matter of the pill is not urgent, you can prepare it slowly."
Su Ming was stunned for a moment, and he felt a little annoyed in his heart: "Weren't you talking about the bet just now?"
Lu Ren pointed at his hair crown and said, "I wanted to remind you that there was a leaf on it."
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Su Ming was about to vomit blood in his heart.
"You interrupted me." Lu Ren spread his hands.
He had indeed forgotten about the bet.
He hadn't expected that he could trick Su Ming's ultimate move with a single attack.
Su Ming's face turned red, and it took him a long time to calm down.
"Let's go to Lingbao Pavilion to choose what you want."
"Thank you, Brother Su Ming."
"Don't call me that. You are now second only to one person in our branch. I should respectfully call you Captain Lu."
