4: Yin energy? The power of the Fiery Sword Technique!

How difficult it was to gain points.

Lu Xuan had a deep understanding of this, and now he unexpectedly had a full ten additional points.

One must know that over the past twenty years, the points he had accumulated were only around twenty.

This was also due to Lu Xuan relying on the Lu Family, the largest pharmacy in the county.

Since he began cultivating martial arts, Lu Xuan had not used few precious materials and medicines from the pharmacy; every potent tonic was an expensive item.

It could be said that Lu Xuan was the person with the highest expenses in the entire Lu Family.

According to Lu Xuan's estimation, he alone consumed about a quarter of the resources, and this was with him exercising restraint.

Otherwise, at the rate Lu Xuan consumed potent tonics, if he were to Cultivate without restraint, selling the entire Lu Family might not be enough to sustain him.

It was only because Lu Xuan was the Lu Family's eldest legitimate son, the Young Master of the pharmacy, that he could spend the Lu Family's resources in such a way.

And now, in less than the time it takes for a single incense stick to burn, he had gained a full ten System points.

This was equivalent to gaining nearly half of the System points he had accumulated over the past twenty years.

Hiss!

Terrifying!

Lu Xuan, who was usually calm and composed, couldn't help but gasp at this moment.

Why did this happen?

Lu Xuan looked at the several puddles of blood and mud on the courtyard ground with a puzzled gaze.

Could it be because of them?

Eerie?

Thinking of this possibility, a thought emerged in Lu Xuan's mind, and then his eyes lit up, as if he had understood something.

It's because of the eerie presence!

Because Lu Xuan had already sensed that the unsettling aura that had bothered him earlier was no longer present on the bodies of the dead people he had destroyed.

Right, it must be like this!

That unsettling aura, which even he, at the Major Accomplishment of the Blood Refinement Realm, found disturbing, must be the reason the System suddenly increased his points.

Yin Qi?

Lu Xuan provisionally referred to these things from the extraordinary eerie presence as Yin Qi.

Thump, thump, thump.

Standing in the courtyard, Lu Xuan's ears twitched slightly, hearing the chaotic footsteps from afar rapidly approaching.

The next second, Lu Xuan's right hand quickly reached for his waist, grabbing firmly and drawing out the large saber that had always hung there.

Then, Lu Xuan gripped it tightly with his right hand, the muscles on the back of his palm bulging, veins knotting and protruding.

He then swung it towards several directions in the courtyard, and in an instant, several golden-yellow, blazing lights flashed out, which were intensely burning flames.

Immediately after, several areas in the courtyard began to burn intensely.

And these intensely burning areas were precisely where the bodies of the people Lu Xuan had killed were located.

Blazing Fire Saber Technique, Major Accomplishment!

It can generate fire from thin air, forming Saber Qi with terrifyingly high temperatures.

This is simply a power that transcends the understanding of the mundane world.

Of course, cultivating the Blazing Fire Saber Technique to Major Accomplishment is no simple feat.

If it were anyone else, they would probably find it difficult to Cultivate the Blazing Fire Saber Technique to Major Accomplishment in their entire lifetime.

However, this was the saber technique Lu Xuan had painstakingly cultivated for twenty years; such powerful strength was obtained through his diligent cultivation day and night.

Of course, this is far from Lu Xuan's limit. System, add points for me!

Just as these bodies were being consumed by the high-temperature flames.

Outside the back courtyard gate, a large number of figures, about thirty or so, poured in, all holding various weapons, rushing towards Lu Xuan's position.

Among the crowd, standing at the very front was Lu Jiahe.

Lu Jiahe had a worried expression on his face, but when he led the crowd to Lu Xuan's side.

He only saw Lu Xuan standing silently in place, expressionless.

Seeing that Lu Xuan was unharmed, Lu Jiahe's suspended heart finally relaxed.

However, Lu Xuan's clothes seemed to have some dried bloodstains on them.

Then everyone looked down at the ground, where there were several objects covered by scorching flames.

“Lu Xuan, are you not hurt? What is this?”

“And where are Yunan and the others?”

Lu Jiahe looked at the several burning flames, seeming to have guessed something.

Then, with a hesitant expression and a somewhat sorrowful tone, he spoke.

“Your son is fine, those are Yunan and the others.”

“Alas, Yunan, that child…”

“It's all my fault. I shouldn't have taken Yunan out in the first place. I didn't look after Yunan well.”

After hearing Lu Xuan's words, Lu Jiahe seemed to have aged more than a decade in an instant, his face spiritless and disheartened.

Lu Jiahe's heart was filled with self-reproach at this moment, never expecting that this simple procurement of medicinal herbs would lead to the death of his nephew.

And in the end, he even died without a complete corpse!

Lu Xuan saw Lu Jiahe's aged and haggard appearance and quickly said, “Father, no one could have foreseen these things. You don't need to blame yourself.”

“I believe Uncle Qing won't blame you either.”

“Yes, Father, Eldest Brother is right. You've already been working tirelessly and treating patients day and night for Yunan's matter these past few days.”

Encountering these extraordinary eerie things, it was already incredibly lucky that Lu Jiahe and the other pharmacy apprentices who went with him could return safely.

Lu Xuan and his other two sons' words slowly eased the guilt in Lu Jiahe's heart.

Lu Jiahe looked at Lu Xuan, who was a head taller than him, and his heart was filled with relief.

He never expected that one day he would receive comfort from Lu Xuan.

Since his legal wife, Lu Xuan's birth mother, passed away fifteen years ago, Lu Xuan had become taciturn.

He would spend all day in the courtyard diligently cultivating his saber technique, having no interaction with the outside world.

From the moment Lu Xuan was born, Lu Jiahe had originally planned to pass on all his medical skills to him.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan was only interested in diligently cultivating his saber technique, and it was only when he saw Lu Xuan's extreme talent.

Lu Jiahe then gave up the idea of having Lu Xuan inherit his medical skills, choosing to have his remaining two sons inherit the Lu Family's medical skills.

“Young Master, did you do all this?”

At this moment, a man standing beside Lu Jiahe spoke with a trembling voice.

The man had dark skin, a tall and sturdy build, sparse short whiskers on his chin, and was dressed in simple and neat black cloth clothes.

The person asking was Blacksmith Li Mingzhong, the Lu Family's guard captain whom Lu Jiahe had hired, a Martial Artist at the Major Accomplishment of the Flesh Refinement Realm.

At this point, everyone reacted and looked in the direction Blacksmith Li Mingzhong was pointing.

There were distinct footprints on the ground, deeply sunken into the bluestone slabs.

Among them, there were also several large craters on the ground, with huge, spiderweb-like cracks in the middle of the craters.

The foremost room also had a striking large hole, as if something monstrous had forcefully crashed through it.

Anyone who wasn't a fool could imagine how terrifying the person who caused this dreadful scene must have been.
