55: Shocking appearance! The Pure World White Lotus Sect!

After Lu Xuan went to Liugou Village and found no harvest, he did not stop along the way.

He rode his horse day and night, heading towards Baidao Prefecture City.

Dengfeng County, Sifang Town!

Lu Xuan rode his horse to a small town and glanced at the stone tablet outside the town gate.

Upon realizing he had left the Qingyun County area, Lu Xuan looked at his exhausted horse and gave up the idea of continuing his journey.

"It seems I've arrived in Dengfeng County. I'll rest for a night and continue my journey tomorrow. I should reach Dengfeng County's county seat in a few days."

Dengfeng County is adjacent to Qingyun County and is directly on the route to Baidao Prefecture City.

"Qingqing, and that kid, it's been about a year since I last saw them."

"Well, tomorrow I can go to Dengfeng County's county seat to see Qingqing."

Lu Xuan muttered to himself, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes as he thought of his half-sister.

Lu Qingqing married into Dengfeng County a year ago. Her husband's family is also a prominent and wealthy family in Dengfeng County, similar to Lu Family Pharmacy, as they are also a medical family.

When the other party traveled between Qingyun County and Lu Family Pharmacy for business, Lu Qingqing met the eldest legitimate son of that family, and they secretly fell in love.

After Lu Xuan's repeated assessments, he finally felt at ease and entrusted Lu Qingqing to him.

Lu Xuan led his horse along the path in Sifang Town until he reached an inn, where he finally stopped.

Sifang Inn!

A young attendant standing by the inn's entrance quickly scurried out upon seeing Lu Xuan, bowing with a polite smile.

"Sir, are you alone? This way, please."

"Yes!"

Lu Xuan handed his horse to the inn attendant and strode into the inn.

To Lu Xuan's surprise, unlike the usually crowded inns he often saw, this inn was sparsely populated with only a few people scattered around, appearing exceptionally quiet.

The innkeeper also looked half-asleep.

Of course, the moment Lu Xuan walked in, the innkeeper seemed to come to life, walking over with a smile.

"Sir, please have a seat here. What can I do for you?"

Although Lu Xuan was curious, he didn't ask much and directly sat at the table closest to him.

"I need a good room, and please prepare thirty catties of dried beef jerky and deliver it to my room."

After continuous travel, Lu Xuan's provisions had all been consumed.

Thirty catties of dried beef jerky, even if Lu Xuan ate it all, would only make him moderately full.

"Thirty catties!"

"Sir, this..."

The innkeeper was about to agree but quickly reacted, looking at Lu Xuan with a surprised expression.

He suspected he had misheard and then asked in a fawning whisper, "Sir, are you sure you want thirty catties of dried beef jerky?"

Even for a Martial Artist who Cultivates Martial Dao, that would be enough for five or six Martial Artists.

Facing the innkeeper's surprise, Lu Xuan paid no attention, simply uttering one word, "Yes!"

Only after Lu Xuan confirmed did the innkeeper show a hint of difficulty, finally apologizing with an awkward smile.

"I'm truly sorry, honored guest, but this inn doesn't have that much dried beef jerky."

"Hmm?"

"None?"

Now it was Lu Xuan's turn to be confused, looking at the innkeeper with some suspicion.

Lu Xuan wondered if the other party was deliberately playing a trick on him.

A large inn in a town doesn't even have thirty catties of dried beef jerky? Why is it even open?

The innkeeper, seeing Lu Xuan staring at him with a strange look, explained in a hurry.

The innkeeper wasn't afraid Lu Xuan couldn't pay, but there really wasn't that much dried beef jerky in the inn.

"Sir, please don't misunderstand."

"Don't be fooled by how deserted my inn looks now. Actually, long before you arrived, many guests had already pre-ordered most of the inn's food."

"Among them, the dried beef jerky was pre-ordered until less than fifteen catties remained."

"They will come to pick up these foods soon, as they need to rush to Liansheng Temple."

"Liansheng Temple?"

Lu Xuan hadn't heard of that name, but he didn't think much of it.

Since the other party didn't have thirty catties of dried beef jerky, he would just have to make do with other meat dishes.

"Then I'll take all the remaining dried beef jerky, and please prepare other food and drinks for me."

"Yes, yes, yes, please have a seat, honored guest. I'll arrange for someone to prepare it right away."

"Xiao Li, quickly clean a superior room for this honored guest to stay in."

The innkeeper beamed, seemingly having not seen such a big customer as Lu Xuan in a long time.

At this moment, a large group of people crowded in from outside the inn's door.

In the very center were a man and a woman, dressed in luxurious silk and satin, adorned with exquisite and expensive jewelry.

The woman, however, was heavily pregnant and was carefully supported by a maidservant.

"Come, madam, be careful."

"Innkeeper, where is the food we pre-ordered? Hurry and bring it. We still need to rush to Liansheng Temple!"

Upon seeing the arrivals, the innkeeper's old face was almost wrinkled like a dried orange peel, and he scurried over to them at lightning speed.

The innkeeper bowed deeply, speaking softly and fawningly to the man in the center.

"Coming, Master Chen, I've already prepared it for you. I'll have someone bring it to you now."

From the innkeeper's demeanor, it was clear that the visitors were of noble status, making him bow like a grandson.

"Ah, husband, once the Great Master of Liansheng Temple performs the consecration this time, our Chen family will be able to successfully give birth to a male heir."

The woman looked gentle and graceful, picking up something hanging around her neck and gently pinching it.

"Hmm?"

Lu Xuan was instantly startled, a hint of surprise on his face, and then he turned to look outside the inn's door.

Why was this aura so familiar?

If Lu Xuan wasn't a Martial Artist of the Inner Energy Realm, he wouldn't have been able to sense this faint aura.

Lu Xuan's eyes narrowed, staring intently at the object the woman was lightly pinching in her hand.

It was a very small, plain white oval seed, strung on a slender lotus root string, tied around the woman's neck.

Lu Xuan could not have sensed it wrong; this aura was exactly the same as the strange aura he had sensed when he killed the White Lotus Blood Infant that day!

White Lotus Blood Infant! Netherworld White Lotus Sect!

Liansheng Temple?

Lu Xuan's mind was in a storm, matching these names one by one.

A moment later, Lu Xuan's lips curled slightly upward, and a fervent look reappeared in his eyes.

That was a craving for System points!

Liansheng Temple, huh?

Lu Xuan's planned route suddenly changed. He wanted to go and see this so-called Liansheng Temple.

Why would something with the same strange aura as the White Lotus Blood Infant exist there?
