Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 341 - 331: Lu Mountain Trembles

As soon as Qin An finished speaking, Lady Lv Luo covered her mouth and chuckled, the sound like silver bells echoed within the room. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"You kid, sometimes surprising, sometimes dull and uninteresting, truly hard to fathom."

Qin An slightly raised his sword-like brows: "There is no free meal under the heavens, to gain anything, you must pay an equivalent price, if there really is a free advantage, then the hidden cost must be even heavier, Lady Lv Luo, am I right?"

Lv Luo put away her smile, her expression gradually became stern: "What you said is very true, if this information were given to you for free, I fear that you wouldn’t dare take it lightly, how about—we make a transaction?"

Qin An said: "Please speak clearly, Lady Lv Luo."

Lv Luo gently tapped the table with her fingertips, speaking slowly: "Recently, I’ve been investigating a secret matter, concerning the ’Divine Soul Refining Body Skill’, this thing, you should not be unfamiliar with it."

Qin An’s brow furrowed slightly: "Lady, you’re joking, such evil techniques, I’ve never heard of, where does familiarity come from?"

Lv Luo’s gaze deepened: "Even Jin Fengyu is in the dark about it, yet you’ve kept it tightly hidden."

Qin An still shook his head and said: "Lady Lv Luo, what exactly are you talking about? I really don’t understand."

At this moment, Tiger Girl lying on the ground suddenly let out a coquettish giggle.

A mighty tiger, dignified in the Unity Realm as a Pseudo-God, unexpectedly emitted female laughter, the scene was exceedingly bizarre.

Tiger Girl shook her head and said: "Why hide, little fellow? Though I’m a Pseudo-God, I possess a tracking secret technique that even the Mountain Patrol Golden Generals can’t match. When investigating the Divine Soul Refining Body matter, your scent couldn’t escape my nose."

Qin An’s fingers abruptly tightened, the scabbard made a soft "click" sound.

Though he didn’t reply, everything was already acknowledged.

The initial denial was because he thought Lv Luo was bluffing him, but now it seemed the counterpart might indeed have evidence.

Lv Luo asked: "I just want to know, how much inside information do you control? This matter is no small issue."

"To what extent is it important?" Qin An suddenly asked.

Facing Qin An’s inquiry, Lv Luo wasn’t angry, and solemnly said: "This evil technique can allow ordinary people to instantly gain the power of a cultivator, with the cost being countless lives."

Qin An pondered: "If this secret technique were to spread, would it mean more innocents would become sacrifices?"

Lv Luo shook her head: "That is only one aspect, there is an even greater threat."

Qin An asked: "What is the greater threat?"

Lv Luo’s eyes turned slightly cold: "The Red Line."

"The Red Line?" Qin An rubbed his chin: "What is the Red Line?"

Lv Luo spoke slowly: "In the world, there is a division between cultivators and ordinary people. If ordinary people use this technique to forcibly seize power, once their numbers break a certain threshold—"

She carved a deep mark on the table with her fingertips, "The Daqian Kingdom would be turned upside down, and the first to collapse would be mankind itself."

After hearing Lv Luo’s explanation, an image formed in Qin An’s mind, and he instantly understood.

He finally understood what the so-called Red Line referred to.

If the number reached a certain quantity, this group of ordinary people easily gaining great power would bring about uncontrollable situations.

And once it becomes uncontrollable, the internal chaos among humans would erupt first.

If chaos erupts, coupled with demons and pseudo-gods, the already precarious Daqian Kingdom might instantly become a scattered sand, eventually being cleansed by demon pseudo-gods thoroughly.

Lv Luo nodded: "Exactly, that is the greater threat. Currently, the situation remains controllable, but once the number surpasses the red line, then everything becomes uncontrollable, not only Xunyang Prefecture, the entire Daqian Kingdom would fragment."

Qin An pondered: "Indeed, the stakes are high."

Lv Luo suddenly leaned on the table, her green strands hanging down: "Tell me everything you know, if we can uncover the truth, the crisis will naturally be resolved."

Qin An fell silent, saying nothing.

Lv Luo released her hand, sat back in her place, and unceremoniously poured herself a cup of tea, drinking it lightly.

She was waiting, waiting for Qin An to make up his mind.

She also knew this matter was indeed too significant to give Qin An ample preparation time.

Until this cup of tea was thoroughly consumed, Lv Luo finally put down the teacup, tapped the rim.

"It seems you’ve made your decision," Lv Luo said.

When Qin An opened his eyes, his gaze was as deep as a pool: "The mastermind behind this is a Mountain Patrol Golden General from Xunyang Prefecture, the Divine Soul Refining Body Skill originates from an external pseudo-god, this fiend severely injured the real dragon Long Tianxing, who is currently hiding in the ancient battlefield ruins, although he has recovered and left, traces still remain."

Listening to the information Qin An revealed, Lv Luo’s lips parted slightly.

Even Tiger Girl widened her tiger eyes.

She and Tiger Girl had found clues related to Qin An and knew Qin An had some knowledge, but hadn’t expected such a vast amount of information.

Mountain Patrol Golden General, Pseudo-God, and, moreover, from the outside.

Most astonishingly, there was also a true dragon.

These three intertwined made the event increasingly fantastic.

Qin An tapped his finger on the scabbard: "That’s all I know."

Lv Luo asked: "If it were you, where would you start?"

Upon seeing Qin An for the first time, she greatly admired him, had it not been for Jin Fengyu beating her to it, she would have wanted to have Qin An under her wing.

Now that Qin An revealed the secret of the Divine Soul Refining Body Skill, Lv Luo instinctively asked.

Qin An pondered briefly: "I would track the whereabouts of Long Tianxing, he is most closely linked with the pseudo-god, at that time I was unable to explore deeply, but with Lady Lv Luo’s ability, perhaps you may find clues in the ancient battlefield ruins."

Currently, although Long Tianxing has concealed himself, Qin An couldn’t find him, it doesn’t mean Lv Luo couldn’t.

Mountain Patrol Golden Generals have their methods.

Lv Luo pondered: "That is indeed a good plan."

She initially asked casually, not expecting Qin An would provide a real answer.

"What a pity, were it not for Jin Fengyu, I honestly would want to snatch you from his hands."

Lv Luo stood up and changed the topic: "The matter has been clarified, I won’t stay longer, but before I leave, I’ll tell you one thing."

When the words fell, Lady Lv Luo informed Qin An about the matter with Zheng Qun Mountain.

Qin An raised an eyebrow and said, "If I encounter this situation in the outside world, I will settle the score."

Lady Lv Luo resumed her playful expression, patted Qin An’s shoulder, and said, "Grandmother likes your vengeful nature, only someone like you can fulfill the role of a Mountain Patrol General; those people are too righteous, but not devious enough."

Qin An’s mouth twitched slightly; although the words carried praise, something felt off.

Lady Lv Luo reached into her embrace and took out a jade stone that was still warm, placing it on the table. "This jade contains the location of a land-level true intent, but you need to enter the ancient battlefield ruins to use True Essence to activate it."

"That place is rather mysterious, enveloped in fog. I only sensed the presence of the land-level true intent but did not search for it."

"After all, I’m lazy by nature; it doesn’t matter if I find it or not. What’s inside requires your own exploration."

With that said, Lady Lv Luo spoke no further, patted Tiger Girl’s head, and left the room with Tiger Girl.

She came quickly and left quickly, without even exchanging a word with Qin An.

Qin An understood Lady Lv Luo’s personality thoroughly and did not worry about it.

After pondering for a moment, Qin An formulated a plan.

"The secret of Divine Soul Refining Body Skill is substantial, something I cannot engage in right now. Let the Mountain Patrol Golden General seek clues."

"What I need to do now is improve my strength. As for the land-level true intent, I’ll put it aside for now and talk about it after entering the ancient battlefield ruins."

Having thought this through, Qin An stopped thinking about it and put the jade stone Lady Lv Luo gave him into his embrace.

Afterwards, Qin An extinguished the oil lamp and fell asleep.

...

The next day, as the morning sunlight streamed in, Xunyang Prefecture gradually came to life.

Qin An visited the medical hall in Xunyang Prefecture to begin cultivating his proficiency in the healer occupation.

Since he had previously trained, the head of the medical hall was already accustomed to Qin An and even admired Qin An’s medical skills, quietly learning from him.

As Qin An began cultivating his proficiency, meanwhile, far from Carefree Mountain, on a high mountain, there was a large gathering of monsters.

Each monster had massive antlers atop their heads and exuded terrifying aura from their bodies.

This place was called Lu Mountain, the upper-level monster faction in Xunyang Prefecture.

Such a force, even Xunyang Prefecture couldn’t find many like it.

Inside a cave, Lu Wufeng, with double antlers on his head, a burly and towering figure, sat casually on a prayer mat.

Before Lu Wufeng lay a large number of human corpses.

Every corpse was in an extremely terrifying posture, making standing here feel eerie.

A servant deer demon was using a silver cup to gather human blood, respectfully offering it.

Lu Wufeng took the cup, tilted his head, and drank it down, showing a satisfied expression. "Now I’ve reached Inner God Realm Perfection, the next step is advancing towards Unity Realm. Indeed, how can those ancient battlefield ruins be as comfortable as here? I haven’t tasted such fresh blood food for a long time."

The deer demon nodded and bowed, full of flattery.

Lu Wufeng glanced at the deer demon, suddenly raised his hand, and slapped the deer demon on the head.

The deer demon staggered and knelt on the ground. "Lord, it seems you are in good spirits today."

This was Lu Wufeng’s unique habit.

Every time he was happy, he would act without restraint.

The deer demon was already used to it.

Lu Wufeng threw the cup and laughed, "That Fox Girl on Carefree Mountain is pregnant with my child! I once thought I was heavily injured and would never have an heir, but unexpectedly, this woman is carrying mine. Isn’t that something to be happy about?"

The deer demon exclaimed with joy, "Congratulations! Now Lord’s dream is fulfilled."

Lu Wufeng tilted his head again, drinking another cup of fresh blood, "Naturally, once that woman gives birth to my son, I’ll raise him well."

The deer demon continuously flattered Lu Wufeng, making him feel elated.

Lu Wufeng pointed at one of the corpses: "I’ll reward you with this, make sure to gnaw it clean."

The deer demon’s face lit up with joy and quickly ran to the corpse, ready to collect it.

But before he could get near, another tall deer demon hurriedly entered the cave.

Seeing this unusual circumstance, Lu Wufeng frowned and said, "What happened? Why are you so rushed? This is Lu Mountain; could there really be someone bold enough to attack here?"

The tall deer demon quickly halted and stuttered, "Reporting to Lord, something big happened at Carefree Mountain."

Lu Wufeng was slightly stunned: "What big thing happened? Could that woman be seducing others behind my back?"

The tall deer demon urgently replied, "Not long ago, a deer demon passed by Carefree Mountain and discovered the heavy scent of blood there. It sneaked in and found Carefree Mountain turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Over a hundred fox demons all met untimely deaths, each slain with a single strike, clean and efficient."

"What?" Lu Wufeng suddenly stood up, "Who did this? Where is the Fox Girl now?"

The tall deer demon replied, "Fox Girl’s body is in a dense forest not far from Carefree Mountain, along with five other Inner God Realm fox demon bodies, all killed with clean and efficient methods, bearing knife wounds."

"What did you say?" Lu Wufeng quickly approached the tall deer demon, grabbing him by the neck, lifting him fiercely into the air.

The cup was crushed by his grip, its contents spilling onto the ground.

"You just said the Fox Girl is dead, how is this possible?"

The tall deer demon struggled arduously, his face flushed red, "Lord, Fox Girl is indeed dead; I even brought her body back."

Lu Wufeng suddenly let go, taking several steps back, his face exceedingly pale, "How is this possible? I finally had a son, and now she’s dead. Why did this woman die before the child was born?"

The tall deer demon landed on the ground, not daring to speak further.

Lu Wufeng regained his composure, a murderous aura surging from him like an avalanche. "Tell me! Who killed them?"

The tall deer demon hesitantly said, "According to confidential reports from subordinates, the murderer is the Evil Extermination Bureau’s Mountain Patrol Silver General, Qin An, skilled in both blade and fist."

"Qin An... Qin An!" Lu Wufeng murmured, his murderous aura growing more intense. "Fine, fine, fine, you made me lose my heir; I’ll skin you alive!"
