47: Above the Inner Qi Realm! Outer Gang Realm! Divine Mansion Realm!

Hearing this, Lu Xuan frowned, taking a deep look at the woman in front of him.

Inside Lu Xuan's room, candlelight illuminated the entire space, making it as bright as day.

After a moment of thought, Lu Xuan still allowed Li Yanran to enter his room.

She had something to ask him, and coincidentally, he also had some questions that needed answering.

When Li Yanran arrived at the Lu Family, she had changed into casual clothes again.

She wore a sky-blue brocade dress, and her raven-black hair, like clouds, rested on her shoulders, filling the room with a faint, delicate fragrance.

Lu Xuan calmly walked to the table and directly sat down in a chair.

Then, Li Yanran, seeing this, also sat opposite Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan's expression was composed, and he looked directly at her without reservation: "Tell me, what do you want with me?"

Being stared at by Lu Xuan like this, Li Yanran felt a strange sensation.

However, Li Yanran didn't dwell on it for too long and directly stated her purpose for being there.

"May I ask, Senior, was that White Lotus Blood Infant from yesterday killed by you?"

"Yes!"

Lu Xuan answered her without hesitation, showing no intention of concealing it.

Ever since Lu Xuan broke through to the Inner Energy Realm, he no longer hid his strength timidly as he did before.

This was also why he acted without hesitation when he encountered the White Lotus Blood Infant in the mountain stronghold.

As someone in the Inner Energy Realm, his strength was incomparably formidable; he could go anywhere in the world!

Upon receiving Lu Xuan's answer, Li Yanran's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and her exquisite face became blank, appearing somewhat adorable.

At least, that's how it seemed to Lu Xuan.

Li Yanran's heart churned, and finally, she looked at Lu Xuan's face with disbelief.

If the information Chen Shi gave her was correct, he was a man only twenty years old.

At this age, he was only five years younger than her, yet his formidable strength allowed him to kill a strange creature like the White Lotus Blood Infant.

Li Yanran, priding herself on her lineage from that prominent family, had exceptionally high martial arts talent since childhood, along with countless cultivation resources.

This was how she managed to cultivate to the Major Achievement of the Blood Refinement Realm at the age of twenty-five.

And for him to easily kill the White Lotus Blood Infant, he must surely be an existence beyond the Blood Refinement Realm to accomplish such a feat.

Twenty years old! A master of the Inner Energy Realm!

Li Yanran's mind conjured a specific place; besides that one place having such peerless prodigies, it was unheard of anywhere else.

Let alone in this backwater little county.

"Senior, are you a master of the Inner Energy Realm?"

Li Yanran couldn't help but ask timidly, her voice as faint as a mosquito's.

This time, Lu Xuan did not answer Li Yanran's question, but instead sat in silence, not saying a word, his expression still as calm as water.

Although Lu Xuan did not answer, Li Yanran already knew the answer in her heart.

He was indeed a master of the Inner Energy Realm, just like the peerless prodigies from that place, whose martial arts talent was unprecedented.

And that place was the center of the Great Xia Dynasty, the place where the Son of Heaven resided, the Imperial Capital!

The prominent family Li Yanran came from was also in the Imperial Capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Just as Li Yanran was lost in thought, Lu Xuan finally spoke leisurely: "Since I have answered your question, your Excellency."

"Then it's your turn, your Excellency, to answer some of my doubts."

Without waiting for Li Yanran to speak, Lu Xuan began to voice his own questions.

"I wonder if your Excellency understands the martial arts realms above the Inner Energy Realm."

"Senior, you are too polite. You saved my life, so please just call me Yanran. May I ask your esteemed name is......"

Li Yanran had a subtle intention in her heart, wanting to get closer to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan gave Li Yanran a strange look and said faintly, "You were able to find out I live here, and you still don't know my name?"

"Miss Yanran."

Upon hearing Lu Xuan call her name, Li Yanran's smile became even brighter.

This scene even made Lu Xuan momentarily stunned, but he quickly returned to his usual composure.

"Senior Lu Xuan, it's normal that you don't know information about realms above the Inner Energy Realm, being in a small place like Qingyun County."

"The realms above the Inner Energy Realm are the Outer Gale Realm and the Divine Palace Realm!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan murmured, "Outer Gale Realm? Divine Palace Realm?"

"Yes, Senior Lu Xuan."

"Outer Gale Realm Grandmaster!"

"Divine Abode True Person!"

Immediately after, Li Yanran revealed everything she knew without reservation.

An Outer Gale Realm Grandmaster cultivates the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi within their body, which is also Inner Energy.

When the Inner Energy is refined to perfection, it will condense into Gale Force, and Gale Force will manifest naturally.

At that time, the Gale Force within the body will be able to be released freely, with Gale Force protecting the body and repelling enemies from a thousand miles away.

As for information about the Divine Palace Realm...

Li Yanran didn't know much about it; it seemed that existences of that realm rarely appeared before the world.

She only knew that a Divine Palace is opened within the body, and the power of heaven and earth is contained within the Divine Palace, with every move and stance carrying the momentum of heaven and earth, possessing mysterious and unpredictable power.

Divine Palace Realm, huh?

Lu Xuan's eyes were filled with longing, and at the same time, his self-satisfaction from just promoting to the Inner Energy Realm vanished.

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Xuan spoke again; he still had some very important questions.

"Miss Yanran, do you know about the Netherworld White Lotus Sect and the White Lotus Blood Infant?"

"Or perhaps some naturally existing extraordinary anomalies, mutated demonic beasts, and so on."

As soon as Lu Xuan finished speaking, Li Yanran did not answer Lu Xuan as readily as before, but instead adopted a cautious demeanor.

Li Yanran hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking: "Senior Lu Xuan, the information about the Netherworld White Lotus Sect is somewhat special, and even I don't know much about it."

"I only know that whenever anything related to the Netherworld White Lotus Sect appears in the world, the Blackbird Guard will destroy it at all costs."

"And those extraordinary anomalies and mutated demonic beasts that exist between heaven and earth are also the reason for our Blackbird Guard's existence."

"They are all existences affected by the power of heaven and earth, and extraordinary anomalies are even Undying and Unextinguished existences."

"Undying and Unextinguished?"

Li Yanran's words reminded Lu Xuan of the mysterious Black Shadow in Liugou Village.

It seemed his feeling was not wrong; that foul thing really wasn't dead!

Li Yanran saw the solemn expression on Lu Xuan's face and continued to speak.

"That's not truly Undying and Unextinguished. It is said that Divine Abode True Person can completely obliterate the existence of those extraordinary anomalous things."

"I just don't know if this legend is true."

Can Divine Abode True Person obliterate the existence of these foul things?

Lu Xuan said nothing more, seemingly absorbing all the information Li Yanran had spoken.

"Senior Lu Xuan, this is my identity token."

"If you want to know more, you can only go to the Blackbird Guard in the Prefectural City. The Blackbird Guard's archives contain many unknown pieces of information.

At that time, you can take this token to find me."

A blue token, only half a palm in size, was handed to Lu Xuan, with a small, light pink sachet hanging beneath it.

Lu Xuan took a deep look, then, under Li Yanran's expectant gaze, accepted the token.

Blackbird Guard, huh?

It seems it's time for me to leave Qingyun County!

Lu Xuan silently watched Li Yanran's departing back, a mysterious aura emanating from his deep, profound pupils.

Early the next morning!

Lu Xuan hurried towards his uncle Liang Shanhai's residence, as his time in Qingyun County was running out.

And just as Lu Xuan was heading to his uncle Liang Shanhai's residence.

At this moment, outside the Lu Family Pharmacy, several uninvited guests arrived.

"Have you all remembered, what Master Jia ordered? If anyone messes it up, you know the consequences yourselves."
