"Well, Mr. Li is right. Recently, I've made progress in my cultivation, so I couldn't control my strength for a moment."
Lu Xuan spoke calmly. These were marks he intentionally left, choosing not to conceal them.
This was an unavoidable measure. In recent days, the Lu Family was anxious and restless due to the matters involving Lu Yunfeng and the others.
Therefore, at this time, Lu Xuan needed to appropriately show some strength to stabilize the Lu Family's situation, lest any trouble arises.
What!
Receiving Lu Xuan's confirmation, Li Mingzhong was deeply shocked, his face filled with awe.
The reason Li Mingzhong was so moved was that he himself was a martial artist at the Great Achievement in the Meat Refining Realm.
He asked himself honestly, with his strength, he couldn't leave such a terrifying scene on this solid bluestone floor.
The fact that Lu Xuan could create such a scene clearly indicated that his realm had surpassed his own.
Meat Refining Realm Perfection?
Or has the young master already broken through to the Bone Refining Realm?
He clearly remembered that a few years ago, the young master was merely a martial artist of Great Achievement in Refining Skin.
No one expected that in just a few years, such earth-shaking changes had occurred.
Now the young master is only twenty years old, and he already possesses strength and realm surpassing his own.
Li Mingzhong, thinking deeply, was terrified, as large beads of sweat suddenly rolled down the side of his forehead.
The fact that he had spent most of his life cultivating martial arts, only to be surpassed by a twenty-year-old young master in the end.
While Li Mingzhong was this shocked, the reactions of the other ordinary guards were even more woeful.
They all had a dazed expression on their faces, looking at Lu Xuan as if seeing a monster.
Such a horrifying sight, created artificially, and this person was their own young master.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Lu Xuan spoke again, "Alright, after the fire is out, gather the ashes of those several people and let them rest in peace."
Subsequently, Lu Xuan looked at the two again, pointing with his finger to a place.
"Second brother, third brother, you two make the arrangements here, and over there is Yun Feng."
"You two take care of Yun Feng's remains and hand them over to Mr. Qing, so Yun Feng can rest in peace."
"Yes, big brother!"
After finishing, Lu Xuan raised his hand, signaling to several family servants.
"You, help the master back to rest."
"Yes, young master!"
Nobody present had any objections to Lu Xuan's arrangements, all looking at him with reverence.
After making arrangements, Lu Xuan did not linger, as he had important matters to attend to.
His heart was already eager to go back and verify.
...….
In a quiet and elegant courtyard, several swords and sabers were placed around, along with some giant stones standing about a meter high.
In the middle, a young man sat cross-legged on the ground—it was Lu Xuan, who had just hurried back from the backyard.
Lu Xuan quickly freshened up and changed into a clean black brocade robe.
The next moment, with a thought in his mind, the add-point panel appeared before him again.
Host: Lu Xuan
Realm: Blood Refining Realm (Perfection)
Cultivation Technique: Fiery Fire Saber Skill 9/9 (Great Achievement) (Evolvable)
Points: 11
Spend 11 points to evolve the Fiery Fire Saber Skill?
Without any hesitation, Lu Xuan mentally confirmed.
The next second, the points on the add-point panel instantly cleared to zero.
Suddenly, a vast and boundless influx of information flooded Lu Xuan's mind, with new saber techniques being practiced one by one in his brain.
A small golden figure, radiating mysterious light, held a saber, continuously displaying inscrutable and profound saber techniques.
Finally, a smear of fiery crimson flame emerged from the large saber, emitting an intense heat as if it could melt everything in the world.
With the appearance of this terrifying high-temperature flame, Lu Xuan instantly opened his eyes.
An indescribable powerful force suddenly appeared within Lu Xuan and then flowed through his entire body, nourishing every cell within him.
Simultaneously, Lu Xuan's physical muscles began to swell, his form growing larger, and the aura surrounding him grew stronger and stronger.
Not long after, the aura around Lu Xuan stabilized and gradually diminished.
"Just a little bit more, just a little bit more."
Lu Xuan could feel that his strength had reached the limit of the Blood Refining Realm, and the next step was to break through to the legendary Inner Qi Realm.
Host: Lu Xuan
Realm: Blood Refining Realm (Perfection)
Cultivation Technique: Red Flame Saber Skill 1/9
Points: 0
Points, still a bit short, Lu Xuan felt it.
As soon as he added points to the saber technique once again, he would break through to the legendary Inner Qi Realm.
Red Flame Saber Skill?
Lu Xuan immediately picked up the large saber beside him, the moves of the Red Flame Saber Skill flashing through his mind.
Lu Xuan suddenly turned, his entire aura surging, and the long saber in his hand, wrapped with a torrent of power, slashed swiftly toward the giant stone beside him like a black lightning bolt.
In an instant, a smear of fiery and scorching crimson saber aura spread like a lively fire snake from the blade.
The extreme heat raged, igniting the surrounding air instantly, as if twisted and pulled by an invisible giant hand.
The unseen void began to ripple with layers of strange waves, as if even space was unstable under this power.
"Boom! Boom!"
With two deafening crashes, the giant stone split like fragile paper under the unparalleled saber aura.
Lu Xuan's eyes remained fixed on the giant stone, which originally stood several meters tall, now neatly split in two.
The cut was smooth and even, as if meticulously polished.
And in the middle of the cut, a conspicuous black-as-ink mark seemed to have been licked by hellfire, exuding a heat that made one's heart palpitate.
What a terrifying saber technique! This intense flame was several times stronger than Lu Xuan's previously cultivated Fiery Fire Saber Skill.
This was just the effect of the first layer, yet it significantly boosted Lu Xuan's strength compared to before.
Yin Qi!
In Lu Xuan's eyes glowed a terrifying light, a longing for Yin Qi.
Merely a few strands of Yin Qi allowed Lu Xuan to gain ten system points.
If he could find more Yin Qi, or even the source of it, Lu Xuan's strength would improve by leaps and bounds.
At that time, no matter how vast the world, Lu Xuan could roam freely!
Even the ultimate dream deep in Lu Xuan's heart could become reality.
Eternal life!
No one can resist the temptation of immortality.
Because death means losing everything, meaning everything done and possessed will vanish like clouds of the past.
Initially planning to develop in the small county safely, Lu Xuan changed his mind at this moment.
The temptation of Yin Qi was enough to make him leave the county for an adventure to obtain it.
After all, Lu Xuan had already felt that as his Martial Arts Realm improved.
Those rare medicinal materials, beneficial to ordinary people, were having less and less effect on him, with the increase in points becoming painfully slow.
Therefore, relying solely on the Lu Family's medicine shop couldn't suffice his martial cultivation anymore.
With the Lu Family having nearly a hundred mouths to feed, Lu Xuan couldn't consume all their resources by himself.
The vast operations of the medicine shop also required buying and selling precious medicinal materials to sustain.
Ping'an Village?
Previously, Lu Xuan had a brief understanding that it was the place where his cousin had an accident.
However, since such extraordinary and strange things could appear there, it would still need careful investigation.
Lu Xuan did not let his increased strength make him arrogant, understanding that caution is the key to avoiding disastrous mistakes.
