Extraordinary and bizarre things, who knows what peculiar superpowers these dirty things might possess.
Merely being able to drive humans into a state of insane self-harm is enough to leave Lu Xuan trembling with fear.
If Lu Xuan hadn't acquired the Red Flame Saber Skill, greatly enhancing his abilities.
And the effect of yin energy on Lu Xuan is too significant, he wouldn't dare to target these filthy things.
The next second, Lu Xuan suddenly felt a strong sense of hunger.
Lu Xuan familiarly reached out and grabbed a small wooden box placed on the ground beside him.
Then he gently opened the small wooden box, revealing a blood-red object inside.
This was a potent supplement Lu Xuan had prepared in advance, needed every time his skill realm improved, requiring a large amount of nutritional blood and flesh.
A ginseng-like object, as big as Lu Xuan's palm.
If anyone else were around, they would immediately see how precious this thing was.
Blood Ginseng!
On the market, this is worth hundreds of silver, a rare medicinal supplement with a price but no supply.
To know, just one silver is enough for common folk to live for half a year.
So, this is why Lu Xuan spends so extravagantly.
Each consumption costs hundreds of silver, if the Lu Family didn't run a pharmacy, Lu Xuan would have long eaten through their fortune.
Therefore, when Lu Xuan realized the effect of yin energy, he showed an urgent desire for it.
In a moment, Lu Xuan hesitated not at all, grabbing it directly and putting it into his mouth.
So, this expensive and nutrient-rich Blood Ginseng was frantically absorbed by Lu Xuan's body, and his hunger vanished along with it.
...….
Three days later!
After the Lu Family finished handling Lu Yunfeng's affairs, Lu Xuan mastered the Red Flame Saber Skill completely in his courtyard.
Lu Family Hall!
Lu Xuan was sitting in the main seat at the front, eyes closed in rest, seemingly waiting for something.
Until a figure appeared outside the hall door, cautiously walking in with a humble demeanor.
The visitor was a somewhat thin man, and upon seeing Lu Xuan on the main seat with eyes closed, he immediately showed a reverent expression, bowing and saluting.
"Young Master, I am Li San, is there something you need from me?"
During the past three days, not only did Lu Xuan practice his saber skills, but he also investigated everyone who went to Ping'an Village that day.
"Li San, I called you here about my cousin Yun Feng's matter."
Upon hearing this, Li San's face turned pale immediately, as though something terrifying had crossed his mind, his body shaking, appearing extremely scared.
"Young Master, I didn't know Yun Feng would encounter such a situation that night, it was an oversight, I failed to detect it in time."
Li San was one of the guards on night duty that night, directly responsible for guarding Lu Yunfeng's room.
Thus, regarding that night's events, Li San was certainly the clearest person.
This is also why Lu Xuan summoned Li San alone today.
"Speak, tell me what happened that night, tell me everything you know."
Li San looked up to find Lu Xuan still appearing calm and composed, and only then did he manage to relax his tense nerves.
He had thought that Young Master summoned him today to blame him for not protecting Yun Feng well.
Since Li San had already been thoroughly questioned by the elder and second elder, he had told them everything he knew.
And logically, Young Master must have been informed as well.
"Yes, Young Master!"
"That night, Young Master Yun Feng got up in the middle of the night to relieve himself."
"Since we were in a strange village, I was worried about Young Master Yun Feng, so I woke the others in the room to accompany him."
"After an entire hour passed, I realized they hadn't returned yet."
"Just as I was about to go out searching, Young Master Yun Feng and the others returned, so I thought nothing of it."
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Lu Xuan suddenly stared at Li San, his calm gaze making Li San's hair stand on end.
"You said Yun Feng and the others went out for a full hour?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Young Master."
Under Lu Xuan's gaze, Li San was a little frightened, speaking with a stutter.
"When they returned, did you notice anything unusual?"
"Unusual?"
Li San hesitated at Lu Xuan's question, then carefully recalled when Yun Feng and the others returned.
"If there was anything unusual, it seemed like when they passed by me, I felt a slight chill."
"Also, Young Master Yun Feng and the others didn't greet me, simply headed straight to the room."
"Then they just lay down on the bed, didn't even close the door, so I closed it."
"This....."
Midway through speaking, Li San suddenly paused, turning pale as a ghost.
He wasn't foolish; he seemed to have realized what had happened to Young Master Yun Feng.
Isn't this an encounter with those dirty things?
"Young Master, could it be those...…"
Lu Xuan directly interrupted Li San's words, proceeding to ask.
"Alright, do you remember the location of that village?"
Without hesitation, Li San answered; the village was forever etched in his memory, so how could he not know?
"I remember, that village is called Liugou Village, not far from the main road, always one of the Lu Family's sources for medicinal purchases."
"Liugou Village?"
Having received the answer, Lu Xuan pondered for a while, then looked again at the still frightened Li San.
"Very well, prepare yourself, tomorrow you will accompany me out of town to Liugou Village."
"Ah!"
"This."
"Young Master, you're going to Liugou Village?"
Li San was completely panicked by Lu Xuan's words, seeming even more frightened than before.
He just heard what?
Young Master is actually leaving town.
In Li San's impression, since becoming a guard for the Lu Family, for a full decade, he had never seen Lu Xuan leave the county.
Young Master always remained private, diligently practicing saber skills in his courtyard, something known by everyone in the Lu Family.
No one expected that Li San would hear Young Master say he was going out of town today, and specifically to Liugou Village, the place he feared.
Since the incident with Young Master Yun Feng, the elder had already given direct orders.
Cut off all ties with Liugou Village and cease purchasing medicinal materials from there.
Li San wholeheartedly agreed with this order, as he would never willingly return to that terrifying village.
Whenever he thought of that night's events, Li San would be filled with fear, often waking from nightmares.
