200: Urgent news arrived

Lu Ming didn't know much about Immortal Sects, after all, most of his predecessor's memories were spent in Lianbo City indulging in debauchery and squandering silver.

If it weren't for the sudden change in Lu Manor and him taking over everything in place of his predecessor, with his predecessor's trajectory, his already weak martial arts foundation would probably have been hollowed out by wine and women in no time.

As soon as he thought of Immortal Sects, a beautiful figure came to Lu Ming's mind.

"Speaking of which, Luo Hongzhuang is a Disciple who came from an Immortal Sect. I wonder what it's like inside an Immortal Sect," Lu Ming thought to himself.

Although he had some thoughts, Lu Ming also knew that the words 'Immortal Sect' were still a bit distant for him. Since he had already joined the Demon Suppression Division, it was impossible for him to have any thoughts of leaving, at least in the short term.

After conversing with Jiang Mingyue, Lu Ming didn't hide the fact that he had achieved a Breakthrough into the Dao Realm, but he also wouldn't spread it around.

After hearing his thoughts, Jiang Mingyue showed a meaningful expression, as if she understood, and didn't say much.

"Take this Concealment Art. With your Aptitude, you should be able to master it in a short time," Jiang Mingyue said, handing Lu Ming a Cultivation Technique manual about the thickness of a pinky finger.

Lu Ming looked at the yellowish pages of the Cultivation Technique manual in his hand with surprise, the large characters written in ink somewhat blurred.

[Subtle Spirit Concealment Art (Profound Rank High Grade)]

Looking at the information that appeared on the panel, the doubt in Lu Ming's eyes grew even stronger.

For a Demon Suppression General, this Profound Rank Cultivation Method wasn't considered precious, but giving it to him so casually seemed a bit too generous.

"I found this Cultivation Technique accidentally in a ruin while pursuing a Demon. It's not something from the Demon Suppression Division, so you can learn it with peace of mind and don't overthink it. I merely gave it to you because I felt a connection with you," Jiang Mingyue said calmly.

Lu Ming nodded slightly, knowing that this Cultivation Technique would be beneficial to him, and did not refuse.

As if she had something to do, Jiang Mingyue greeted him and left the small courtyard.

Subtle Spirit Concealment Art, as the name suggests, is a Cultivation Technique for concealing one's aura, and can even hide one's Cultivation Base. This Cultivation Technique came at just the right time. Jiang Mingyue hadn't seen that he had already reached the Dao Realm Late Stage. One reason was that she was shocked by his rapid Breakthrough and didn't investigate carefully. The second was that Lu Ming himself hadn't truly displayed his full strength. Jiang Mingyue couldn't see it, but that didn't mean others couldn't!

A Dan Realm expert like Prince Qingyang might be able to see through his Cultivation Realm at a glance!

However, if he Cultivated this Cultivation Technique, concealing one or even two minor Realms, so that outsiders would only see him as Dao Realm Early Stage, this would undoubtedly be greatly beneficial for his future actions!

For example, the Zhao Family. If they made arrangements based on his Dao Realm Early Stage strength, he could give them a big surprise!

Returning to his room, Lu Ming didn't procrastinate. He still had over two hundred years of Demon lifespan, so he directly invested it.

Although Lu Ming's own Comprehension Ability wasn't high, as he broke through to the Dao Realm, his other Cultivation Techniques also improved. Now, Cultivating this Profound Rank Cultivation Method was much easier for him. Moreover, this Cultivation Technique was originally an auxiliary method like Subtle Spirit Concealment. After spending two hundred years of Demon lifespan, he Cultivated this "Subtle Spirit Concealment Art" to its peak.

"Interesting!" Lu Ming's thoughts stirred slightly. Standing in the small courtyard, he completely concealed the aura emanating from his body.

A faint light was vaguely visible emerging from his body, then disappearing into it. Immediately after, the subtle pressure was completely retracted, making him seem like a Mortal, without any fluctuations.

With this Subtle Spirit Concealment Art, at least Dao Realm experts wouldn't be able to see through his true Cultivation Base. Even stronger Dan Realm experts might not be able to detect his true strength at first glance... Nearly a month had passed since Wu Mingjian led the Demon Suppression Division forces to surround the Zhao Family Courtyard.

Lu Ming had already learned the "Two Forms Mixed Origin True Art," so Jiang Mingyue naturally had no need to guide his Cultivation. However, she did not move out of the small courtyard, but continued to reside there, living a secluded life, waiting for the Pacification Commissioner to arrive.

During this period, the two had also exchanged views on this Cultivation Technique, mainly with Lu Ming asking questions and Jiang Mingyue providing answers.

It must be said that having a Martial Artist who Cultivated the same Cultivation Technique to answer questions on the path of Cultivation also enlightened Lu Ming on many of his doubts.

The most important point was how to Breakthrough the "Two Forms Mixed Origin True Art" when it was stuck at the fourth level.

Simply refining the two Qi of life and death from the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, although Cultivation would be much smoother after grasping the essentials, after reaching a certain level, external objects would be needed to achieve a Breakthrough.

It would be best if they were spiritual objects similar to the two Qi of life and death; otherwise, it would take more time to Breakthrough the Bottleneck.

After understanding this, Lu Ming's thoughts also became much calmer.

Without needing to consider other matters, he either diligently Cultivated in the small courtyard every day or read various scrolls to understand the world. These peaceful days passed like a fleeting white colt, and this time spent together also led to a certain unspoken understanding between them.

On this day, Lu Ming was practicing saber techniques in the small courtyard, while Jiang Mingyue sat by the stone table, sipping tea.

Watching Lu Ming practice his saber techniques, Jiang Mingyue's gaze was somewhat dazed. Unconsciously, she had grown accustomed to this peaceful life.

Just as chaotic thoughts appeared in her mind, a hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the small courtyard.

Two figures rushed into the small courtyard.

"Sir, an urgent report has arrived. I brought this messenger brother over," one of them was Wu Lei. Seeing the two people in the courtyard both looking at him, he swallowed and quickly spoke.

These days, rumors were circulating throughout the Demon Suppression Division about Pacification Commissioner's favored Disciple, Jiang Mingyue, living in the same small courtyard as Commander Lu Ming. Although many who heard the original conversation knew that Lu Ming had gained General Jiang's appreciation and she would personally teach him Cultivation Techniques.

However, in these days, the two had lived a secluded life, rarely showing themselves outside, which also caused many rumors to spread.

Wu Lei had also been quite curious about this during this time, but he didn't have the courage to come. Today, he happened to encounter this situation, so he led the way. Seeing the two of them like this, he couldn't help but inwardly grumble.

It seemed that the rumors outside weren't all false.

"An urgent report from Yujiang City, please take a look, General Jiang," a sweating messenger, clearly having rushed all the way, panted heavily. He said loudly.

Compared to Wu Lei, who harbored other thoughts, this messenger had traveled tirelessly for three days, even exhausting a warhorse along the way, just to deliver the message. Now, his only thought was to present the urgent report.

The messenger, kneeling on the ground, raised his trembling arms and handed the sealed letter to Jiang Mingyue.

Knowing that such urgent confidential reports conveyed extremely urgent messages, Jiang Mingyue immediately took it and opened it to read.

After clearly seeing the contents, Jiang Mingyue's expression became slightly grim.

Lu Ming, who was beside her, noticed the change in Jiang Mingyue's expression. He knew that something major had probably happened.

"What happened?" Lu Ming asked.

It wasn't something that needed to be hidden, and besides, with Lu Ming's status and strength, he was qualified to know.

"A Demon suddenly appeared in a small town outside Yujiang City. The local Demon Suppression Division sent people over, but after several days, there was no news. Later, a Daoist from Yunping Temple passing through Yujiang City volunteered to investigate. A day later, he returned severely injured, saying that a Dao Realm Demon was causing havoc, and the town's residents were brutally massacred. Now, that place has become a purgatory," Jiang Mingyue said softly.
