Landlord Era: I can upgrade my entries

Chapter 151 The Heart-Guiding Stone, Mysterious Pattern [5k]

The heat emanating from the cave made Shui Qinghe feel uncomfortable, and Lu Changqing could even see that her lips were slightly pale.

"My lord, be careful!"

Shui Qinghe nodded. If she forced her way into the cave, it might affect Lu Changqing.

Lu Changqing then turned and entered Lingyun Cave.

"This Lingyun Cave really is full of twists and turns!"

Lu Changqing entered Lingyun Cave and walked further in along the passage. There were many tunnels, and occasionally they would branch off.

Occasionally, there are scratches and traces of fire on the surrounding walls.

These marks must have been made by the fire qilin in Lingyun Cave. Lu Changqing followed these marks and continued walking inside.

"Dragon Essence, Phoenix Essence, Fire Qilin, and even Emperor Shitian who attained immortality!"

Lu Changqing continued walking inside, recalling some plot information about the world of Fengyun.

He also knew that many plot points might have changed, after all, this world had also experienced the cataclysmic event of the collapse of the heavens.

"My lord, there seems to be something over there!"

Shuling sat on Lu Changqing's shoulder, sniffing gently, swinging her little feet, and pointed to a passage.

"You still have a sense of smell?"

Looking at his expression, Lu Changqing asked in confusion.

"Not really, I can only sense the aura of spiritual plants."

Shu Ling shook his head slightly. He had no organs in his body; what he sensed was the aura of the spiritual plants.

"A spiritual plant? Could it be the Blood Bodhi?"

Lu Changqing's eyes lit up, and then, following the guidance of the book spirit, he continued to walk into the cave.

The cave should have been pitch black, but the Book Spirit sitting on his shoulder was like a small lamp, clearly illuminating the surrounding environment.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lu Changqing suddenly saw a faint red light flickering in the distance.

"Found it!"

Lu Changqing immediately stepped forward and looked at the blood-red fruit growing on the sapling.

These fruits are only the size of longans, blood red in color, and have a strange fragrance.

It is the Blood Bodhi from Lingyun Cave.

Blood Bodhi, also known as Red Heart Bodhi, is said to have the ability to heal serious injuries and enhance one's abilities even without injury.

"The Blood Bodhi is actually a second-tier spiritual plant! No wonder it's a great treasure in the world of Fengyun!"

Lu Changqing looked at the blood-red Bodhi seeds with a satisfied expression on his face.

This thing should theoretically grow in extremely hot places, and some say it was cultivated from the blood of a fire unicorn.

The fact that it is here means that this place is not far from the nest of the Fire Qilin.

Lingyun Cave is a great treasure land in this world of wind and clouds. Lu Changqing felt that it was impossible that only the Blood Bodhi existed. Perhaps there were other treasures, but they had not been discovered by anyone.

Lu Changqing looked at the blood bodhi seeds hanging on the small tree, and then picked one off.

"My lord, give me one, I want to try some too!"

Seeing Lu Changqing pick one and put it in his mouth, the Book Spirit suddenly spoke up.

The bright red fruit made him want to eat one and try it.

As the Blood Bodhi entered his body, Lu Changqing felt a slight warmth emanating from his abdomen, which then spread to his limbs and bones.

That slightly warm feeling was like soaking in a hot spring.

"A damage-free power boost? The effect seems so-so!"

That warm feeling came quickly and went quickly.

Blood Bodhi didn't seem as powerful as he had imagined, and he didn't even feel any significant changes in the internal energy within his body.

"My lord, your internal energy is now almost comparable to that of a third-tier cultivator, so this Blood Bodhi will naturally have no effect on you!"

Upon hearing Lu Changqing's question, the Book Spirit immediately spoke up.

"I just tasted one, and this Blood Bodhi does indeed enhance the accumulation of Qi. It is truly a rare spiritual plant."

"My lord, if this thing can be cultivated, it will be a valuable resource."

"receive!"

Lu Changqing nodded. The Blood Bodhi might not be very effective for him, but others didn't have his powerful internal energy.

He took the Blood Bodhi into his terrestrial space and entrusted it to Mu Lanxin to plant.

One blood bodhi tree is far from enough.

Boom!

"Book Spirit, have you heard any strange noises?"

Lu Changqing had just put away the small Blood Bodhi tree when he noticed a faint sound.

The sound grew louder as it approached, as if a horse was rapidly drawing near.

step, step, step

The hooves trod through the cave passage at an extremely fast speed.

As the sound drew closer, the intense heat emanating from it became increasingly palpable.

"Could it be a Fire Qilin!?"

The scorching heat didn't lie; there was no one else in Lingyun Cave besides the Fire Qilin.

roar~

A thunderous roar rang out again, as if asserting its dominance.

Lu Changqing took out a spirit sword from his spatial ring.

The Lingyun Cave has many narrow passages, making it impossible for the Golden Crow Halberd to be used effectively in this environment.

A colossal beast engulfed in flames came charging out of a passage.

"This is the Fire Qilin!"

Looking at the giant beast before him, Lu Changqing's eyes brightened slightly.

It has a dragon's head, deer antlers, and lion's eyes, and its body is covered with fiery red scales, with crimson flames burning on its surface.

It possesses both majesty and a touch of wildness.

roar~

The fire qilin stared warily at Lu Changqing inside the cave with its pair of lion-like eyes.

"He actually possesses the strength of a peak second-tier opponent!"

Lu Changqing recognized the Fire Qilin's strength at a glance, and his admiration for it grew even stronger.

puff~

A burst of scorching flame erupted from the fire qilin's mouth, sweeping directly toward Lu Changqing.

"That's really an impolite way to greet someone!"

Lu Changqing's heart stirred, and his internal energy instantly formed a barrier in front of him.

Boom!

The flames were instantly split off from the protective barrier and struck the rock walls on either side.

When the flames subsided, Lu Changqing stood unharmed opposite the Fire Qilin.

Just as Lu Changqing was about to speak, a beast's claw slammed towards him.

"You're really dishonest!"

Lu Changqing frowned slightly, then drew his sword.

A flash of sword light, accompanied by a beast's roar.

Tick ​​~

A drop of blood fell to the ground, and the ground instantly burst into flames.

"Qilin blood, what a waste!"

Seeing the Qilin blood dripping onto the ground, Lu Changqing immediately felt a pang of heartache.

This Qilin blood is a treasure that can give humans Qilin arms.

However, Lu Changqing couldn't help but sigh that the Fire Qilin's defense was indeed very strong.

It was only a minor scratch.

puff~

A ball of flame shot out towards Lu Changqing again. Lu Changqing's figure flashed, and then he directly rushed forward.

With a leap, he landed directly on the back of the Fire Qilin.

Roar! !

This instant made the fire qilin even more agitated, its massive body shaking violently as it tried to throw Lu Changqing off its back.

"Behave yourself!"

Lu Changqing punched the fire qilin on the head, trying to stop its struggling movements.

The flames on the fire qilin did not harm him in the slightest, after all, his body had experienced the burning of the golden crow flames.

They have developed a certain degree of immunity to fire.

Lu Changqing's punches did not make the Fire Qilin submit; on the contrary, they activated its ferocity.

Tap tap tap~

The fire qilin actually started running, carrying Lu Changqing on its back. Its four hooves continued to run, leaving trails of flames on the ground.

It would even occasionally crash into the rock wall, trying to break free from Lu Changqing's control.

"Behave yourself!"

Lu Changqing swung his fist again, and even his fist was covered with a faint golden aura.

bang bang bang~

With each punch, Lu Changqing maintained his balance while pounding its head.

The fire qilin had thick skin and flesh, and Lu Changqing even felt his palms go numb. In addition, it charged around recklessly, and if Lu Changqing hadn't gathered his qi to protect himself, he would have been in serious trouble.

They might actually get hurt.

"Still not behaving yourself?"

Looking at the fire qilin that was still running around in the cave, Lu Changqing frowned slightly and glanced around. He didn't even know where it had run off to.

All he knew was that he was going deeper and deeper into the Lingyun Cave.

"Since you're not behaving yourself, let's see whose flames are stronger!"

Lu Changqing looked at the flames surrounding him, then his consciousness sank into the earthly space, and once again summoned the Golden Crow Flame in the sky.

A golden flame slowly emerged on his chest.

"Golden Crow Flame, Condense!"

The golden flames instantly condensed into a fire crow, and an even hotter aura emerged.

Gaa~

The cries of the fire crows echoed through the cave, carrying a strong penetrating force.

Upon hearing the cries of the fire crow, the fire qilin immediately stopped in its tracks.

"Um?"

Looking at the suddenly quiet fire unicorn, Lu Changqing was somewhat puzzled.

The fire crow transformed from the Golden Crow's flames was only the size of a palm, but its imposing presence caused the Fire Qilin to stop its rampaging body.

Lu Changqing flipped down and came to the front of the Fire Qilin.

roar~

A deep voice sounded, as if asking something.

"What is that fire qilin saying?"

Looking at the roaring fire qilin, Lu Changqing became even more curious.

"My lord, it seems to recognize the Golden Crow Flame."

Shu Ling suddenly spoke up, saying that he had been sitting on Lu Changqing's shoulders the whole time and had just experienced the feeling of speed.

"He knows the Golden Crow Flame? How is that possible!"

Lu Changqing shook his head slightly; the Golden Crow Flame does not exist in this world of wind and clouds.

"My lord, the fire qilin before us only has the bloodline of a fire qilin in its body; it is not a pure fire qilin."

"The Golden Crow Flame comes from the ancient fire crow of the superior race. He must have inherited information in his bloodline, which is why he recognized the Golden Crow Flame."

Upon hearing the explanation from the Book Spirit, Lu Changqing reached out and summoned the Golden Crow Flame back into his palm.

Upon seeing this, the Fire Qilin was enraged and roared at Lu Changqing again.

"Stop yelling, this is mine!"

Looking at the Fire Qilin, Lu Changqing couldn't help but speak up.

Hoo~ Hoo hoo~

The fire qilin continued to growl, which made Lu Changqing even more puzzled.

He could sense that the fire qilin's original rage disappeared when it saw the golden crow's flames, but its roar seemed to be saying something.

"My lord, it seems he's asking if you're a crow?"

The Book Spirit seemed to understand the Fire Qilin's consciousness and spoke to Lu Changqing.

"A crow? What crow! An ancient fire crow?"

roar~

The fire unicorn stepped forward, approached Lu Changqing, and gently sniffed at his side, as if confirming something.

The next move surprised Lu Changqing greatly. The fire qilin, which was over three meters tall, knelt directly in front of him on its forelimbs, lowered its head, and roared softly.

"My lord, he probably wants to acknowledge you as his lord!"

The Book Spirit looked at the Fire Qilin and said with a smile.

"No, then what was I just now?"

Seeing the fire unicorn suddenly submit, Lu Changqing's forehead creased with annoyance.

Riding a fire unicorn and rampaging through Lingyun Cave, does that mean he's headstrong?

If he had known that the Golden Crow Flame had this effect on the Fire Qilin, he would have summoned it long ago.

"That's not right. If it has the bloodline of the Fire Qilin, shouldn't it belong to a mid-grade bloodline race?"

Lu Changqing frowned. The Golden Crow Flame shouldn't have such great power, especially since he had refined it and it had become his natal spirit flame.

"My lord, you don't need to overthink it. It truly wants to acknowledge you as its master."

Seeing Lu Changqing frown, the Book Spirit stood on his shoulder and spoke.

"Fine, I do want to subdue it."

Lu Changqing nodded slightly. Since he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it anymore. After all, he originally wanted to subdue the fire qilin.

Lu Changqing looked at the fire qilin that had lowered its head and placed his hand on its forehead.

A mark was slowly imprinted on his forehead.

roar~

A deep voice came from its mouth, as if it were cheering, or as if it were celebrating something.

His lion-like eyes were filled with respect for Lu Changqing.

roar~

The fire qilin roared again, then gently nibbled at Lu Changqing's clothes, as if signaling him to ride on its back.

Lu Changqing also saw through the Fire Qilin's thoughts, and with a leap, he jumped directly onto its back.

Then the Fire Qilin carried Lu Changqing and started running. This time, Lu Changqing did not feel any bumps, which was very different from the previous situation.

"Where are you taking me?"

Lu Changqing was a little curious and gently touched the fire qilin's head.

Before long, led by the fire qilin, they arrived at a cave.

roar~

The cave is huge, almost the size of a small square.

As soon as Lu Changqing got off the fire qilin, the flames on the qilin suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire cave.

"This is!"

Lu Changqing's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze filled with shock.

The scene before him was so shocking that it even sent a chill down Lu Changqing's spine.

Because the walls were covered with one pattern after another.

Most importantly, the patterns on the wall looked very familiar to Lu Changqing.

"Was that me?"

Looking at one of the pictures, a person stands opposite a fire unicorn, holding a ball of golden flame in their hands.

In the next image, he is riding a fire-breathing qilin and fighting against an unknown race.

"This is!"

Shuling was equally shocked when she saw the patterns on the wall.

It turns out that the fire qilin's submission to Lu Changqing wasn't due to the golden crow's flames, but rather to the mural before them.

"How is this possible!"

Seeing those murals, Lu Changqing felt a chill run down his spine.

He saw Zhao Yun holding a long spear in the mural, and he also saw Su Qing'er wearing a Taoist robe and holding a long sword.

They even spotted the figures of the Mountain Demon Clan's barbarians.

Each picture is very clear.

What alarmed him even more was that none of the endings in the patterns had a happy ending.

Zhao Yun's spear was broken, Su Qing'er's Taoist robe was covered in sword marks, and even Man Wang was shrouded in a black mist, his limbs dismembered.

A chaotic aura suddenly surged from Lu Changqing.

"My lord!"

The spirit of the book immediately sensed Lu Changqing's condition, and its voice, like a resounding bell, rang in Lu Changqing's mind.

"I just—"

Lu Changqing, regaining his senses, felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

"My lord, this mural has just stirred your mind and almost made you go mad."

Shuling stood on Lu Changqing's shoulder, her gaze fixed on the wall.

"It stirs my heart?"

"That's right, this wall is no ordinary wall. If I'm not mistaken, these patterns are made of Heart-Guiding Stones."

Shuling stared at the patterns and explained to Lu Changqing.

The Heart-Guiding Stone is a second-order ore. It looks ordinary, but it can subtly attract the mind and spirit.

Normally, arousing one's mind would not have any effect, but these patterns are engraved on this Mind-Arousing Stone.

These patterns, combined with the effect of the Heart-Guiding Stone, almost made Lu Changqing deeply entangled.

"And these patterns!"

Looking at the patterns on the wall, Lu Changqing's eyes narrowed slightly.

These patterns are truly inexplicable. Putting aside the others, the story about him subduing the fire qilin is also inexplicable.

"My lord, please don't forget my abilities!"

Shuling looked at the patterns on the wall with a disdainful expression.

Besides treasure hunting, he is also skilled at predicting the future.

Upon hearing the Book Spirit's words, Lu Changqing's eyes lit up, and he said, "Book Spirit, can you foresee the future of the dragon, or what will happen to him?!"

"My lord, please wait a moment!"

The book spirit nodded, then summoned a wordless book, closed its eyes, and began to foresee Zhao Yun's future.

A moment later, the book spirit's expression turned solemn as she looked at the words on the book.

"Died from a broken gun!"

The four large characters appearing on the book made Lu Changqing's mood even heavier.

He died from a broken gun, just like the pattern on the wall.

"Impossible! Could there be any treasures or people in this world skilled in precognition?"

The predicted result was exactly the same as the pattern on the wall.

"Book Spirit, when I opened up the star path to this world, I sensed a spying sensation."

Lu Changqing looked at Shu Ling and suddenly recalled the feeling when he opened the Star Road.

"My lord, are you referring to the art of divination? But there couldn't possibly be such a powerful expert in this world!"

This world cannot support powerhouses with strength above the third tier.

"There's another possibility: this world isn't just inhabited by us; there are forces from other worlds as well!"

Lu Changqing's gaze turned serious as he looked at the patterns on the wall again.

Thinking of this, Lu Changqing had an idea. He then activated the spatial imprint of the realm to sense the location of Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and the others.

In his perception, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and others were gathered together and heading in one direction.

"Zilong, Hansheng, Qiao Feng!"

Through the mark, Lu Changqing directly contacted the three of them.

The three were leading the Yellow Heaven Warriors toward the headquarters of the World Society when they suddenly heard Lu Changqing's voice and stopped in their tracks.

The three exchanged glances, then mentally replied, "Our lord!"

"Where are you now, and what are you going to do?"

Lu Changqing asked directly.

"My lord, we are preparing to join forces and take down the World Society!"

Zhao Yun replied in his mind that, for safety's sake, he had specifically contacted Huang Zhong and Qiao Feng to prepare to join forces to take down the World Society.

"Stop! The three of you, return to the star path exit immediately!"

Lu Changqing's words immediately stunned the three of them.

"Yes, my lord!"

Although the three were puzzled, they all responded.

"Could it be that something went wrong at the stargate exit?"

Qiao Feng looked at Zhao Yun and the other two with a solemn expression.

"have no idea."

"Let's go back quickly!"

Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong both had solemn expressions. They then led the Yellow Heaven Warriors back quickly towards the Star Gate exit.
