5: Red Flame Sword Technique! Seeking the source of Yin Qi!

“Yes, Uncle Li is right. I made some progress in my Cultivation a few days ago, so I couldn't control my strength for a moment.”

Lu Xuan said calmly. These were also traces he deliberately left behind, choosing not to conceal them.

This was a necessary measure. In the past few days, the Lu family, from top to bottom, had been in a state of panic and unease due to the incident involving Lu Yunan and the others.

Therefore, Lu Xuan needed to appropriately display some strength at this time to stabilize the Lu family's overall situation, lest it lead to more trouble.

What!

Upon receiving Lu Xuan's confirmation, Blacksmith Li Mingzhong was deeply shocked, his face filled with awe.

The reason Blacksmith Li Mingzhong was so moved was that he himself was a Martial Artist at the Major Achievement of the Flesh Refinement Realm.

He honestly asked himself, his own strength couldn't achieve such a terrifying sight on the solid bluestone ground.

The fact that Lu Xuan could cause such a phenomenon clearly meant his strength Realm had surpassed his.

Flesh Refinement Realm Perfection?

Or had the Young Master already achieved a Breakthrough to the Bone Refinement Realm?

He clearly remembered that a few years ago, the Young Master was only a Martial Artist at the Major Achievement of the Skin Refinement.

He didn't expect such a drastic change in just a few years.

The Young Master was only twenty years old now, yet he already possessed a strength Realm that surpassed his.

Blacksmith Li Mingzhong shivered at the thought, and large beads of sweat suddenly trickled down the side of his forehead.

It turned out that his lifelong Cultivation of the Martial Dao had ultimately been surpassed by the twenty-year-old Young Master.

And if Blacksmith Li Mingzhong was this shocked, then the reactions of the other ordinary guards were even more pathetic.

Their faces were all filled with a dazed expression, looking at Lu Xuan as if he were a monster.

This terrifying scene could actually be man-made, and that person was their own Young Master.

Seeing that his objective had been achieved, Lu Xuan spoke again: “Alright, once the fire dies down, collect the ashes of those few people and let them rest in peace.”

Subsequently, Lu Xuan looked at the two again and pointed a finger at a spot.

“Second Brother, Third Brother, I'll leave this place for you two to arrange properly. That one over there is Yunan.”

“You two, collect Yunan's remains and give them to Uncle Qing. Let Yunan rest in peace.”

“Yes, Big Brother!”

After speaking, Lu Xuan raised his hand again, signaling to a few household servants.

“You few, help the master back to rest.”

“Yes, Young Master!”

No one present had any objections to Lu Xuan's arrangements; they all looked at Lu Xuan with reverence.

After making the arrangements, Lu Xuan did not linger. He still had important matters to attend to.

His heart was already impatient to go back and verify something.

.........

In a quiet and elegant courtyard, several sabers and swords were placed around, along with some one-meter-tall boulders.

In the center of the courtyard, a young man was sitting cross-legged on the ground, none other than Lu Xuan, who had just returned from the backyard.

After Lu Xuan quickly washed up and changed into a clean black brocade robe.

The next moment, Lu Xuan's mind stirred, and the stat-adding System panel reappeared before him.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Blood Refinement Realm (Perfection)

Cultivation Technique: Blazing Fire Saber Technique 9/9 (Major Achievement) (Can be deduced)

Points: 11

Do you wish to spend 11 points to deduce the Blazing Fire Saber Technique?

Without any further hesitation, Lu Xuan directly confirmed “Yes” in his mind.

The next second, the points on the stat-adding panel instantly reset to zero.

Suddenly, a vast and boundless stream of information flooded Lu Xuan's mind, and new Saber Techniques were practiced one by one in his consciousness.

A golden figure, glowing with mysterious light, held a saber and continuously performed obscure and profound Saber Techniques.

Until finally, a mesmerizing, fiery red flame surged from the saber, emitting scorching high temperatures, as if it could melt everything in the world.

As this terrifyingly hot flame appeared, Lu Xuan instantly opened his eyes.

An indescribably powerful force appeared out of thin air within Lu Xuan, then flowed throughout his entire Physical Body, nourishing every single cell.

At the same time, Lu Xuan's Physical Body muscles also swelled crazily, his body becoming several times larger than before, and the fluctuations of his Aura grew increasingly powerful.

Not long after, the fluctuations of Lu Xuan's Aura stabilized and then gradually weakened.

“Just a little more, just the last bit.”

Lu Xuan could feel that his strength had reached the limit of the Blood Refinement Realm, and the next step was to Breakthrough to the legendary Inner Qi Realm.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Blood Refinement Realm (Perfection)

Cultivation Technique: Scarlet Flame Saber Technique 1/9

Points: 0

Points, still a little short, Lu Xuan felt it.

As long as he added points to the Saber Technique one more time, he would Breakthrough to the legendary Inner Qi Realm.

Scarlet Flame Saber Technique?

Lu Xuan immediately picked up the great saber beside him, the Moves of the Scarlet Flame Saber Technique flashing through his mind.

Lu Xuan suddenly turned around, his surrounding Aura abruptly rising. The long saber in his hand, imbued with surging power, was like a black lightning bolt, forcefully slashing towards a nearby boulder.

In an instant, a mesmerizing and scorching scarlet Saber Qi, like a nimble fire snake, wildly spread from the blade.

The extreme high temperature raged, instantly igniting the surrounding air, as if it were being arbitrarily twisted and pulled by an invisible large hand.

The invisible Void Realm began to ripple with layers of strange waves, as if even space itself was becoming unstable under this power.

“Boom! Boom!”

Two deafening roars echoed. The boulder, under the unparalleled Saber Qi, shattered like fragile thin paper.

Lu Xuan's eyes were fixed on the boulder. The original one-meter-tall boulder was neatly split into two.

The cut surface was smooth and even, as if it had been meticulously polished.

And in the exact center of the cut, a pitch-black mark was particularly striking, as if it had been licked by the raging fires of Hell, emitting a heart-palpitating heat.

What a terrifying Saber Technique! This high-temperature flame was several times more powerful than the Blazing Fire Saber Technique Lu Xuan had Cultivated before.

This was only the effect of the first layer, yet it had already significantly increased Lu Xuan's strength.

Yin Qi!

Lu Xuan's eyes gleamed with a terrifying light, a craving for Yin Qi.

Just a few wisps of Yin Qi had granted Lu Xuan ten System points.

If he could find more Yin Qi, or even the source of Yin Qi, then Lu Xuan's strength could improve by leaps and bounds.

By then, the world would be vast, and Lu Xuan could go anywhere!

Even Lu Xuan's ultimate dream, deep within his heart, could be realized.

Eternal life!

No one could refuse the temptation of eternal life.

Because death meant losing everything, meaning everything done, everything owned, would dissipate like fleeting clouds.

Lu Xuan, who had originally planned to lay low and develop in the small county town, changed his mind at this moment.

The temptation of Yin Qi was enough to make him personally leave the county town and venture out to acquire it.

After all, Lu Xuan had already sensed that as his Martial Dao Realm improved.

The highly potent medicinal herbs, which were great tonics for ordinary people, were having less and less effect on him, and the increase in points was extremely slow.

Therefore, relying solely on the Lu family's medicine shop would no longer satisfy his Martial Dao Cultivation.

The Lu family had nearly a hundred mouths to feed, and Lu Xuan could not consume all of the Lu family's resources alone.

The operation of a large medicine shop also required buying and selling potent medicinal herbs to sustain itself.

Ping'an Village?

Lu Xuan had briefly understood it before; it was where his cousin had gotten into trouble.

However, since such strange and extraordinary things could appear there, he still needed to investigate thoroughly.

Lu Xuan did not become arrogant because of his great increase in strength. Everything had to be done carefully, and Lu Xuan understood the Dao of a single misstep leading to eternal regret.
