This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Lingxu City.

Lu Qingshan walked straight into Dantai Qingrun's residence.

Before Dantai Qingrun could ask, Lu Qingshan had already taken the initiative to pass her the Shadow-capturing Pearl, "The collusion between Demon Spirit Palace and the Netherworld has been confirmed, the evidence is in here, the Dantai Tower Master can notify the main tower quickly."

Dantai Qingrun took over the Shadow-capturing Pearl and probed into it with her Divine Sense. After a moment, she regained her senses, ripples flickering in her eyes, "Even though I hold you in high regard, your methods are still beyond my imagination."

How could Lu Qingshan, a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator, obtain such valuable intelligence within a short span of two or three days amid the gathering of powerful figures from Demon Spirit Palace and the Netherworld in the vast Demon Spirit Mountain Range?

She couldn't understand the reason, but she did understand one principle.

Obviously, Lu Qingshan must possess many secrets, but the premise of their cooperation was essentially mutual trust.

Therefore, what Lu Qingshan did not actively reveal, Dantai Qingrun would definitely not inquire further.

Lu Qingshan was indifferent to Dantai Qingrun's amazement and praise, and then he informed her about the situation that Great Rat King had discovered in the Demon Spirit Mountain Range. Experience new stories on empire

"Alright, I will contact the main tower immediately!" Dantai Qingrun's gaze sharpened, realizing the urgency of the situation at once.

.....

Qing State State City, Fufeng.

A cultivator in green robes hurried into a tower.

The tower appeared to be an extremely simple and ordinary building on the outside, but once inside, it turned out to be another world altogether.

Hidden within the tower was a small realm, peaceful and tranquil at a glance, with misty immortal mountains, lush greenery, pavilions and buildings dotting the area, flowing springs and cascading waterfalls, abundant with Spiritual Energy, indeed a Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

This realm was known as Qingfeng Realm, also the location of the main tower of Zhishou Tower in Qing State.

Owning an entire small world showed the extensive reach of Zhishou Tower.

And this scenario brimming with Immortal Qi was only the external part. Looking further inside, amidst the mist, the Spiritual Energy was ethereal and vague, giving a sense of mystery within the clouds.

With the rich Spiritual Energy of Qingfeng Realm, cultivating here would undoubtedly lead to swift progress, and this cultivation environment alone was a great temptation for the cultivators of Zhishou Tower.

As soon as the green-robed cultivator entered Qingfeng Realm, two cultivators in grey robes stopped him, "Who goes there? What is your business?"

"A member of Black Ice Platform, we've received urgent news from Lingxu Tower and need to deliver it to the Deputy Tower Master immediately!" The green-robed cultivator took out his Identity Token and explained.

The two grey-robed cultivators immediately became solemn upon hearing this, clearly understanding the urgency of the news. After verifying the green-robed cultivator's Identity Token, they led him towards the depths of Qingfeng Realm without delay, "Follow us!"

The three harnessed Escaping Light and vanished into the mist.

Qianshou Tower, a tower standing above a mountain peak.

The mist dissipated, and a pathway appeared before the three.

"The Deputy Tower Master has received the message and is waiting inside the tower," the green-robed cultivator understood.

....

"Beiming True Venerable, this is the intelligence sent from Lingxu Tower." Once inside Qianshou Tower, the green-robed cultivator respectfully took out a Jade Slip from his Storage Ring and handed it to the middle-aged male cultivator on the main seat with an imposing and profound presence.

In the main tower of Qing State, the Tower Master and the two Deputy Tower Masters were all great cultivators of Void Refining, standing at the peak among the powerful in Qing State.

Beiming True Venerable was the great cultivator among the three tower leaders responsible for overseeing the affairs of each mansion, a vehement hater of evil, and his profound Thunder Spell terrified the Underworld Cultivators.

Beiming True Venerable took the Jade Slip and waved his hand towards the three cultivators.

The three cultivators understood and, after making a bow, retreated.

"Dantai Qingrun," Beiming True Venerable caressed the Jade Slip in his hand, recalling the brief encounters he had with Dantai Qingrun in Zhenjiang City, muttering to himself, "Indeed, I was not wrong about her, young but highly capable..."

Transferring Dantai Qingrun to Lingxu Prefecture was his decision, and Dantai Qingrun had not disappointed him. In less than half a year, she had achieved such a breakthrough in the languishing Lingxu Tower.

"Demon Spirit Palace and the Netherworld, indeed troublesome..." Beiming True Venerable pondered their strength in his heart, "To ensure absolute certainty, it seems I must make a personal visit!"

....

Lingxu City's Great Xia Commercial Firm.

Qin Yitian came up to greet him, "Young Master."

Lu Qingshan gave Qin Yitian a nod in acknowledgment.

Since handing over the Shadow Recording Pearl to Dantai Qingrun wasn't a significant matter, Lu Qingshan simply made a list of spirit materials, asking Qin Yitian to make a round to the major spirit material shops in Lingxu City on his behalf.

The progress of his cultivation of the Five Elements Sword Armor was stalling due to the lack of corresponding spirit materials, with only two elements completed so far.

Therefore, upon arriving in any new city, Lu Qingshan would always search the local spirit material shops for the materials needed for the cultivation of his Sword Armor.

As a Sword Spirit, Qin Yitian was unable to wear space storage artifacts, so he could only identify the materials that Lu Qingshan needed; purchasing them would still require Lu Qingshan to handle personally.

As the capital of a prefecture, the spirit material shops within Lingxu City had quite a complete collection of materials.

Following Qin Yitian's earlier reconnaissance, after visiting a few spirit material shops, Lu Qingshan managed to gather all the remaining spirit materials needed for his Metal Element Sword Armor.

However, there was no time left for Lu Qingshan to cultivate the Metal Element Sword Armor.

At this moment, Dantai Qingrun's Spirit Message was already transmitted to him.

"The people from Qing State Tower Master's building have arrived, gather at Lingxu Tower."

Lu Qingshan's gaze flickered for a moment, then he said to Qin Yitian, "Let's go, to Lingxu Tower."

...

Lingxu Tower.

Three cultivators had already been waiting outside the tower, namely Zuo Tao, Xiao Zhi, and Zhong Mian, all old acquaintances from Zhenjiang City.

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian, Xiao Zhi immediately came up to greet them, "Tower Master Dantai asked me to wait for you here and to take you inside as soon as you arrive."

There was a mix of excitement and disbelief in his tone.

In just a few days after Lu Qingshan's arrival, Dantai Tower Master had made breakthrough progress, and even the Great Cultivators from the main tower in Qing State had come to Lingxu City in person. How could he not realize who deserved the credit?

Even though he had high hopes for Lu Qingshan due to his performance during the Corpse Puppet Chaos, he had never imagined that change would come so swiftly!

Guided by Xiao Zhi and the other two cultivators, Lu Qingshan was taken directly to the outside of Lingxu Tower's conference hall.

"Dantai Tower Master, the upper echelons of Lingxu Tower, as well as the Great Cultivators from Qing State's main tower, are all inside," Xiao Zhi stopped and said to Lu Qingshan.

The conference hall wasn't a place he could enter; after escorting Lu Qingshan there, Xiao Zhi and the other two retreated to wait outside the door.

...

"Brother Xiao, who is this person? He's clearly just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, so why would Dantai Tower Master allow him into the conference hall?" After moving aside and seeing Lu Qingshan's figure enter the conference hall, Zuo Tao couldn't contain his curiosity and asked in puzzlement.

Everyone inside the conference hall was a member of Lingxu Tower's upper echelons, including the Great Cultivators from Qing State's main tower; all of them were at least Golden Core Cultivators. It was no place for a lower-grade cultivator to mix in!

"His name is Lu Qingshan, and he too comes from Zhenjiang Tower," Xiao Zhi said with a hint of pride, "Moreover, he was previously in the same defense squad as I was!"

"From Zhenjiang Tower as well?" Zhong Mian expressed a bit of surprise!

Because Lu Qingshan hadn't been with Zhenjiang Tower for long, it wasn't strange for Zhong Mian to have not seen him before.

However, Zhong Mian frowned and said, "Brother Xiao appears to be answering a different question, doesn't he?"

Lu Qingshan coming from Zhenjiang Tower clearly had little to do with why he could enter the conference hall as a low-level cultivator.

Xiao Zhi didn't keep them in suspense any longer, and with a hint of mystery, he said, "A few days ago, Tower Master Dantai was still at an impasse, but now he has turned the tide, and even folks from Qing State Tower Master's building have been alerted. Aren't you curious as to why?"

Zuo Tao's pupils constricted, grasping the implication in Xiao Zhi's words, yet he found it unbelievable, "How is that possible?"

"I can hardly believe it myself, but it is indeed the case," Xiao Zhi spread his hands and said, "Lu Qingshan arrived in Lingxu City only some days ago and met with Tower Master Dantai through me. Then, within a few days, the situation changed to what it is now."

"It seems this is also the most plausible reason why he, as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, is involved in high-level affairs," Zhong Mian was equally astonished, yet he managed to judge rationally.
