The gaze of the Canglan City Lord grew increasingly shocked.
Because Lu Qing’s time in sudden enlightenment was simply too long.
For the average cultivator, even if one accumulates knowledge and gets lucky to enter a state of sudden enlightenment, it typically doesn’t last very long.
If it lasts for a quarter or half an hour, it’s already considered quite remarkable.
Yet Lu Qing had been in sudden enlightenment for almost an hour, and still hadn’t awakened.
He couldn’t imagine how Lu Qing was comprehending to maintain such a long state of enlightenment.
"This one’s cultivation talent is truly beyond imagination. No wonder that Gongshu Yu was completely no match for him.
How could a mere direct lineage Daoist of a noble family compare with such a devilish monster?"
The Canglan City Lord couldn’t help but exclaim in his heart.
He became more convinced that Lu Qing must come from an extremely extraordinary cultivation holy land.
Perhaps it was even one of those legendary mysterious lands, which their Nangong Family had to look up to.
Meanwhile, Mo Hongyun, observing Lu Qing continuously meditating, felt her hope growing larger.
The longer Lu Qing comprehended, the more likely it indicated he had truly found a way.
After patiently waiting for another quarter of an hour, Lu Qing finally opened his eyes.
In his eyes was a hint of fatigue.
Sustaining intense mental effort to deduce Taoist skills at the Primordial Spirit Realm level was quite pressure-laden, even for him.
Fortunately, his foundation was exceptionally deep, and his Perfect Golden Core had various miraculous applications.
With just a slight operation, his depleted spirit and heart power began to recover rapidly.
"Lu Xiaodao, how was it?"
Seeing Lu Qing awaken, the Canglan City Lord quickly asked.
"Fortunately, the mission wasn’t failed. I barely thought of a way, but whether it’s feasible still needs to be tried." Lu Qing smiled and said.
"Have you really come up with a solution?"
Mo Hongyun was stunned; the sudden surprise made her a bit incredulous.
"We still have to try it to know, and it’s not necessarily effective.
And if the curse seal is triggered, it might alarm that Miao Yu Venerable. Tower Master, you should be mentally prepared."
Lu Qing said solemnly.
"Just try it; at worst, it’s only death, nothing could possibly get worse."
Mo Hongyun said firmly, with determination gleaming in her eyes.
This was the only time she had seen hope in so many years.
If it didn’t work this time, it would prove her destiny was thus, and it might be better to simply end it all.
"It’s not that severe." Lu Qing laughed slightly, "Even if we can’t completely eradicate the Joyful Heart-Eroding Curse, it won’t cost you your life, Tower Master."
With Lu Qing’s current comprehension of the Joyful Heart-Eroding Curse, he was confident about this much.
"However, I still need some preparation, so please wait a moment, Tower Master, and City Lord, I need some high-quality Spirit Jade for refining some items, would that be possible?"
"Of course, I’ll have someone fetch them from the storage immediately!"
The Canglan City Lord responded eagerly.
On his orders, the elderly servant quickly retrieved a jade box from the storeroom and handed it to Lu Qing.
Lu Qing opened it to find that inside were hundreds of high-quality Spirit Jade pieces, all of which were top-grade Spirit Jade.
"Feel free to use them, Lu Xiaodao. If they’re not enough, I’ll have more fetched!"
"I won’t need quite so many."
Lu Qing inwardly admired; indeed, as the lord of a city, the Canglan City Lord had vast wealth, casually bringing out hundreds of top-grade Spirit Jade pieces.
He took a piece of Spirit Jade, which floated in front of him. With a focused mind, he began to sketch mysterious runes in the void, embedding them into the Spirit Jade.
"Void Talisman! This Lu Xiaodao actually has such proficiency in the Rune Path!"
The Canglan City Lord, observing this scene, was slightly shaken in his heart.
Recently, he had been in seclusion within the City Lord Mansion, leaving city affairs to be managed by the steward.
Had it not been for the demonic Qi awakening him, he might not have arrived at the Treasure Tower in time.
Therefore, he wasn’t very aware of the tumultuous events in the city over the past month.
Nor did he know that Lu Qing was a Talisman Master.
Lu Qing’s speed in refining Jade Talismans was astonishingly fast.
According to what the Canglan City Lord said, the people of the Gongsu Family might descend tomorrow.
Time was of the essence, so he couldn’t hold back.
