Starting as The Young Master of A Pharmacy, He Trained Swordsmanship in Seclusion For Twenty Years - Chapter 119

As for the innkeeper of this inn that Lu Xuan had temporarily occupied, he had never shown up.

It was unknown whether he was dead, or if he had seen Zhao Sheng standing guard like a door god, which made the innkeeper too afraid to approach.

At that moment, a terrifying aura emanated from within the inn, like the rumble of thunder and flashes of lightning before a storm, making Zhao Sheng watch with awe!

Not far from the inn, inside a small house.

In the courtyard, four people sat with solemn expressions around a small stone table.

They were none other than the Xuanniao Guards of Jingtai Prefecture, Mo Ronghua, and three Huang-rank Xuanniao Guards.

“What formidable power!”

Mo Ronghua was the first to sense this terrifying aura. He stood up from the stone stool, his expression unusually grave as he looked towards the inn.

“It seems this newly appointed Xuan-rank Guard of Baidao Prefecture is anything but simple!”

“Then again, that makes sense. Anyone who could demand that I give him an explanation is certainly not an easy person to deal with.”

Mo Ronghua had already learned some information from his Huang-rank guards.

The other party actually demanded that he provide an explanation regarding the matter of the two great demons.

Sensing this frightening pressure, Mo Ronghua felt a sense of foreboding.

His original intention to meet the other party began to waver.

Why do I feel like a lamb walking into a tiger’s den?

Ah, forget it, forget it! Since I’m already here, I might as well meet him.

As for Lu Xuan, who was causing this tremendous commotion, he was currently sitting cross-legged on the bare ground.

The bodies of the two great demons had completely vanished.

In the corner of the inn lay some white beast bones, the remains left after Lu Xuan had refined the two great demons.

At this moment, swirling around Lu Xuan were streams of crimson Gang Yuan, more refined and solid than ever before.

Each ribbon of crimson Gang Yuan was as clear and bright as jade.

While these striking crimson streams appeared harmless, each one actually contained terrifying destructive power capable of shaking mountains and splitting the earth.

Lu Xuan’s eyes opened gently, two red gleams of light flashing past as he murmured softly.

“Minor Completion of the External Gang Grandmaster!”

Host: Lu Xuan
Realm: External Gang Grandmaster (Minor Completion)
Cultivation Methods: Blazing Flame Blade Art 9/9, Flowing Light Movement Art 1/9, Indestructible Vajra Body 3/9.
Points: 0

“Flowing Light Movement Art!”

Lu Xuan’s gaze rested on this movement art. He had upgraded it to a whole new level in one go.

Originally, Lu Xuan had 2751 system points. Deducting 1500 points used for one evolution of the Blazing Flame Blade Art, he had 1251 points left. Lu Xuan decided to use all the remaining points to evolve the Gale Chasing Steps.

The sudden appearance of the two great demons in Fenglin County had made Lu Xuan feel the urgency of time.

If his Gale Chasing Steps had been just a bit faster back then, he could have reached Yinshi Town in less than half an hour.

What surprised Lu Xuan next was that the remaining 1251 points were just enough, used completely, to evolve the movement art Gale Chasing Steps to an entirely new realm.

Flowing Light Movement Art!

Body like light and shadow, treading on light itself!

This was the profound concept Lu Xuan comprehended upon obtaining the Flowing Light Movement Art.

This…

In the next second, the Gang Yuan within Lu Xuan’s body surged violently, empowering the Flowing Light Movement Art.

Inside the inn, as Lu Xuan executed the Flowing Light Movement Art, a terrifying scene unfolded.

Had there been onlookers, they would likely have been scared to death on the spot.

Every corner of the inn was filled with images of Lu Xuan.

Each afterimage appeared as solid as the real person, dizzying to look at and impossible to distinguish from the true form.

“This speed is a full three times faster than before.”

A trace of astonishment flashed in Lu Xuan’s eyes.

It was worth noting that his previous speed was already shocking enough.

Now, it had increased by more than threefold.

At this incredibly terrifying speed, if Lu Xuan went all out, he could travel directly from Fenglin County back to the prefectural city in less than half a day.

Remember, the journey from Fenglin County to the prefectural city required passing through two other counties.

That meant Lu Xuan could traverse the distance of two counties in under half a day.

How is this any different from flying!

Flying?

I wonder if those who have reached the Divine Mansion realm can truly soar through the skies.

After breaking through to the Minor Completion stage of the External Gang realm, the ambition in Lu Xuan’s heart swelled to immense heights.

Divine Mansion True Masters!

Remembering the existence of this realm above him, Lu Xuan reined in some of his earlier arrogance.

The next moment, the inn’s main door was opened by an unseen force.

Lu Xuan walked out, his hands clasped behind his back, his face expressionless.

“Lord Xuan Ambassador!”

Zhao Sheng, who was guarding outside the inn’s door, turned around quickly upon hearing the door open behind him. Seeing it was Lu Xuan, he immediately bowed with immense respect, his hands clasped in salute.

“This subordinate pays respects to Lord Xuan Ambassador!”

The tone of Zhao Sheng’s voice was filled with infinite reverence, seeming to stem from genuine admiration.

Whether it was Lu Xuan’s formidable strength or the multiple opportunities where he had bestowed precious demon beast flesh upon him, Zhao Sheng’s heart was deeply devoted to Lu Xuan, with a piety akin to that of a believer.

After paying his respects, Zhao Sheng maintained a serious expression and continued,

“Lord Xuan Ambassador, Mo Ronghua, the Xuan Ambassador from Jingtai Prefecture, wishes to see you.”

The Xuan Ambassador from Jingtai Prefecture?

Hearing Zhao Sheng’s words, Lu Xuan did not respond immediately.

He then turned his head slightly, looking towards a small house not far away.

The moment he stepped out of the inn, Lu Xuan had already sensed someone watching him from nearby.

He presumed that the person spying on him from over there must be the Xuan Ambassador from Jingtai Prefecture.

“Good.”

“Bring him to see me.”

A slight smile curled at the corner of Lu Xuan’s mouth, as if he had thought of something that pleased him.

He originally thought it would take the other party some time to seek him out.

He hadn’t expected the Xuan Ambassador from Jingtai Prefecture to deliver himself to his doorstep in less than two days.

If that was the case, Lu Xuan wouldn’t stand on ceremony.

Right now, Lu Xuan was precisely in need of a large amount of system points.

The appearance of the Jingtai Prefecture Xuan Ambassador was, in Lu Xuan’s mind, no different from the arrival of a wealth-bringing page boy.

Yes, Lu Xuan was once again giving play to his instinct for extortion and blackmail.

Seeing Lu Xuan’s amiable smile, Zhao Sheng shuddered involuntarily.

He had seen this very smile on Lu Xuan’s face back in Dengfeng County.

Back then, if not for Zeng Fan, the County Magistrate of Dengfeng County – who became like a dearly missed friend – voluntarily offering his generous financial support to solve their problem, things would likely have ended very badly for them.

“Yes, this subordinate will immediately go and invite Lord Mo Xuan Ambassador over.”

After speaking, Zhao Sheng silently mourned for this Lord Mo Xuan Ambassador in his heart.
