After all, at that time he was nearing his Primordial Spirit tribulation, but he had no confidence in crossing it.

In addition, some sordid matters within the clan made him very unhappy.

He simply found a task and came to the Little Cang Realm for tranquility.

Because of this, he came down without much manpower.

He only brought a few Golden Core Realm attendants who had always followed him.

If he had brought the elite guards of the clan down that day, today’s battle might have been a different story.

Of course, the Canglan City Lord didn’t elaborate on these things, only briefly mentioned them to Lu Qing.

After chatting with Lu Qing for a while, the Canglan City Lord’s Qi-Blood became somewhat better.

At this time, he took out a jade box from his storage magical artifact, opened it, and inside was a purple elixir with swirling medicinal aura.

The medicinal aroma spread, making Lu Qing feel mentally invigorated, and the mana within his body circulated a bit faster.

He immediately knew that this elixir must be of extremely high grade.

The Canglan City Lord looked at the elixir in his hand with some pain.

This was originally kept for crossing the next Primordial Spirit tribulation.

But now his injuries were too severe, and normal recuperation might take decades, making complete recovery difficult.

The Gongshu family’s people could come down at any moment, and he simply didn’t have the time, so he had to consume this treasure pill.

After a moment of heartache, the Canglan City Lord looked resolute and swallowed the elixir, starting to circulate mana to dissolve the elixir.

Soon, his originally pale complexion improved significantly, gaining some color.

The scars on his body healed rapidly at a rate visible to the naked eye.

A quarter of an hour later, the external wounds on his body disappeared.

The Canglan City Lord opened his eyes, looking radiant, without the previous sense of weakness.

"Has the City Lord’s injuries healed?"

Lu Qing was secretly shocked, wondering what kind of elixir it was that made the Canglan City Lord change so drastically in such a short time, with the injuries greatly improved.

Unfortunately, the City Lord swallowed the elixir too quickly, making it impossible for him to use his superpower to check the elixir’s information.

"It’s not that simple, just external injuries have healed." The City Lord waved his hand, "Primordial Spirit injuries are much more troublesome and will take some time to heal.

But it doesn’t matter, by tomorrow, I will be able to recover most of my strength."

"That’s great; with the City Lord’s power restored, we can have some confidence." Lu Qing said with a smile.

"Daoist friend, you flatter me; I just cultivated a few more days than you to have this strength.

Instead, it’s you, Daoist friend, who truly amazes me.

Gongshu Yu, however incompetent, is one of the direct lineage Daoists of this generation of the Gongshu Family.

Having crossed the nine-fold heavenly tribulation, he has refined a flawless top-grade Golden Core.

He’s cultivated the highly profound Gongshu Family cultivation technique, the Emperor Heart Technique, and his cultivation has reached the Golden Core eighth-turn realm.

His power, without claiming superiority over the younger generation, is still rare to find an opponent within the Golden Core realm.

Yet you, Daoist friend, can easily defeat him, with Gongshu Yu unable to counter even slightly from start to finish.

In my eyes, Daoist friend, you are truly profound and unfathomable.

May I ask where does your master hail from, and which great world are you from?"

The Canglan City Lord finally voiced his doubts.

"It’s difficult to resist a master’s orders; when the junior left to travel, my master sternly ordered me not to disclose his name.

Therefore, revealing my master’s lineage would be inconvenient, so I ask for the City Lord’s understanding."

Lu Qing did not disclose his origins.

"It seems your master must be an extraordinary expert to have taught such a gifted young talent like you, Daoist friend."

The Canglan City Lord was not displeased with Lu Qing’s answer.

On the contrary, he became more convinced that Lu Qing’s master’s lineage must be exceedingly powerful and likely his master is a remarkable Primordial Spirit Great Power.

Otherwise, there would be no need to deliberately conceal the lineage.

"If my master knew of your praises, he’d be very pleased." Lu Qing said with a smile.

"I can’t take that; you shouldn’t exaggerate." The Canglan City Lord waved his hands repeatedly.

It was a joke; if such a venerable expert knew he dared to comment on him with a mere Primordial Spirit tribulation, who knows if he would become angry.

Although he belongs to the Nangong Family, he does not want to offend such formidable beings without reason.

Thus, the Canglan City Lord quickly switched topics: "By the way, Mr. Lu, you mentioned earlier that you wanted to ask me something. What is it?"

"It’s like this." Lu Qing’s expression became serious, "Originally, I planned to enter the Heavenly Origin Great World to train, but after today’s incident, I wonder if I can still enter the upper world?"

"You want to enter the Heavenly Origin Great World to train?"

The Canglan City Lord was a bit surprised.

He did not expect the question Lu Qing wanted to ask was this.

"Yes, the reason I stayed in the Little Cang Realm was because I didn’t have enough spirit stones to pay for the transition to the upper world.

Now I’ve gathered enough spirit stones, but I have clashed with the Gongshu Family.

Therefore, I want to seek advice from the senior whether I can still enter the upper world under such circumstances.

If not, how should I leave the Little Cang Realm?"

Lu Qing knew that taking Canglan City’s transmission array could lead him from Star Sky City out of the Little Cang Realm.

But he was uncertain whether the strong Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator stationed at Star Sky City would allow him to leave.

After all, he was not clear about any connections the person might have with the Gongshu Family.

However, facing Lu Qing’s question, the Canglan City Lord did not answer immediately, instead asking:

"You wish to enter the Heavenly Origin Great World, so you should know the entry rules, right?"

"The junior understands." Lu Qing nodded. "To enter the Heavenly Origin Great World, one needs to go to Heavenly Heart City in the center of the Little Cang Realm and use the Breaking Boundary Transmission Array.

But the cost of the Breaking Boundary Transmission Array is extremely high, requiring one hundred middle grade spirit stones each time."

"What high cost, that’s just a rule deliberately set for you foreign cultivators." The Canglan City Lord laughed.

"Although the Breaking Boundary Transmission Array consumes a lot with each activation, it cannot possibly require so many spirit stones.

If it really needed that much, even the top forces of the upper world couldn’t afford it.

In reality, each activation of the transmission array requires only one middle grade spirit stone.

Moreover, the Little Cang Realm isn’t far from the Heavenly Origin Great World, so the transmission array’s consumption isn’t exaggerated."

"The junior certainly knows, but I have no other way but to follow the rules." Lu Qing certainly knew that the consumption of the transmission array couldn’t need so many spirit stones.

Especially after he thoroughly understood the mysteries of the transmission array at Star Sky City, he was even clearer on this.

The high fees charged by Heavenly Heart City were merely to gouge the foreign cultivators like him.

But what could be done?

The world powers of the Heavenly Origin Great World are too strong.

The world membrane is incredibly tough and capable of isolating space, making it impossible for ordinary Primordial Spirit Great Powers to break through by force.

His Void Ship is also powerless against it.

So foreign cultivators like him, even if they lament the spirit stones, can only endure being gouged for the opportunities within the Heavenly Origin Great World.

"Ordinary foreign cultivators naturally cannot avoid this issue, but Mr. Lu, you are not among them." The Canglan City Lord said with a smile.

"What do you mean, City Lord?" Lu Qing was slightly startled.

However, the Canglan City Lord still did not answer directly but continued to ask: "Mr. Lu, do you think we, who originally"

The Canglan City Lord smiled.

"What do you mean, City Lord?" Lu Qing was slightly startled.

However, the Canglan City Lord still did not answer directly but continued to ask: "Mr. Lu, do you think we, who originally"

The Canglan City Lord smiled.

"What do you mean, City Lord?" Lu Qing was slightly startled.

However, the Canglan City Lord still did not answer directly but continued to ask: "Mr. Lu, do you think we, who originally"
