Starting as The Young Master of A Pharmacy, He Trained Swordsmanship in Seclusion For Twenty Years - Chapter 98

As Li Chengfeng spoke, he placed his hands behind his back and walked towards the door.

“Young friend Xuan, I leave the White Path Prefecture capital in your hands. Tomorrow, I will take Yannan and depart for the capital.”

Before Lu Xuan could even react, Li Chengfeng had already vanished, leaving the room.

Li Chengfeng’s departure seemed rushed!

He needed to use his time urgently to gather the Xuan Bird Guards of the prefecture capital and inform them of his decision.

After Li Chengfeng left, Lu Xuan stood motionless in place.

A quarter of an hour later, once Lu Xuan sensed no living presence remained in the courtyard, he began carefully observing the entrance to the underground chamber.

In the next instant, Lu Xuan’s figure disappeared.

The chamber was about three meters deep, quite spacious, only a third smaller than the room above.

Now, Lu Xuan had descended into the chamber.

Contrary to what he might have expected, the chamber wasn’t dark and gloomy but bright and clear, shimmering with a dazzling, transparent light.

Gemstones? Luminous Pearls?

And so many of them.

The walls of the chamber were inlaid with one gemstone and Luminous Pearl after another, illuminating the entire space as if it were under the bright sun.

Lu Xuan swept his gaze around, taking in everything within the chamber.

Several expensive-looking purple wooden shelves stood here, carved from the finest red sandalwood.

Incredible!
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Even though he came from a wealthy family, he had never seen so many treasures.

The items openly displayed in this chamber were already priceless treasures.

Let alone those boxes placed on the red sandalwood shelves.

Several of the red sandalwood shelves held exquisitely crafted cyan boxes.

On one particular shelf sat four deep red wooden boxes.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan hesitated no longer. In a few swift steps, he reached the sandalwood shelf holding the deep red boxes.

Lu Xuan immediately stirred the internal energy within his body. The air around him twisted and swirled, strands of solidified internal energy spiraling incessantly in the air.

Under Lu Xuan’s control, the internal energy swirling around him swiftly shot towards the deep red boxes.

Snap! Snap! Snap!
Several light sounds echoed as the four deep red wooden boxes were flipped open by Lu Xuan’s internal energy.

Odd objects resembling ginseng came into Lu Xuan’s view.

These ginseng-like oddities emitted a faint cyan glow and exuded a refreshing fragrance that made Lu Xuan feel physically and mentally invigorated.

Lu Xuan had heard Li Chengfeng speak of this type of mid-grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure.

It was called Cyan Spirit Ginseng, a mid-grade treasure of great use to martial artists.

Such dense Heaven and Earth vital energy!
So this is a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure?

Lu Xuan’s eyes fixed on the Cyan Spirit Ginseng—the mid-grade spiritual treasure—resting in the wooden boxes.

Just a wisp of its fragrance could cause changes in the internal energy within his body.

If that were the case for high-grade or even supreme-grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures, wouldn’t their effects be even more potent?

Contemplating the four boxes, thoughts raced through Lu Xuan’s mind.

If what that Xuan Bird Guard said was accurate, the Phantom of the Fengyue Pavilion wouldn’t appear for another three days.

If that were the case, there was plenty of time!
To be safe, Lu Xuan decided to reserve two days for refining the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures.

Once he successfully broke through to the External Aura Grandmaster realm, he would arrive at the Phantom’s location a day early and eliminate it.

A dozen breaths later.

Lu Xuan waved his hand, taking all four deep red boxes, and smoothly took five deep cyan boxes as well.

Anyway, leaving these mid-grade spiritual treasures here was just for display; he might as well use them first.

If mid-grade spiritual treasures were needed later, he could always request more from the Xuan Bird Guards in the capital.

After emerging from the chamber, Lu Xuan headed straight for the adjacent room.

Since Li Chengfeng had entrusted this place to him, it was now his room.

Inside the room!
Without hesitation, Lu Xuan took out the four spiritual treasures and swallowed them.

Instantly, a surge of pure vital energy, unlike anything Lu Xuan had ever felt, flowed within his body, nourishing every inch of his flesh and blood.

The power contained within these four Cyan Spirit Ginseng plants was equivalent to four times that of the Blood Refining realm demon beast from the Jinlin River in Taiping Town, perhaps even more.

After refining this terrifying power, Lu Xuan focused his mind and summoned the system panel in his consciousness.

Host: Lu Xuan
Realm: Internal Energy (Perfected)
Techniques: Blazing Flame Saber Technique 6/9 (Can Deduce), Chasing Wind Step Technique 4/9 (Can Deduce), Diamond Indestructibility 3/9 (Can Deduce)
Points: 1321
Please confirm if you wish to consume 110 points to deduce the Chasing Wind Step Technique.
Please confirm if you wish to consume 450 points to deduce the Blazing Flame Saber Technique.
Please confirm if you wish to consume 90 points to deduce Diamond Indestructibility.

Last time in Taiping Town, after deducing the Chasing Wind Step Technique and Diamond Indestructibility once each, he had 121 system points remaining.

Now, the points on the system panel had astonishingly reached 1321 at once.

This meant the mid-grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures he just consumed had provided a total of 1200 system points.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Lu Xuan focused on the Blazing Flame Saber Technique and confirmed his choice in his mind.

This time, he decided not to deduce the body toughening art or movement technique, instead using all available system points to deduce the Blazing Flame Saber Technique.

The time it takes for an incense stick to burn later, a powerful pressure filled Lu Xuan’s room.

Transparent, crimson strands of energy coiled and spiraled around Lu Xuan’s body, forming what looked like a shield of scarlet aura!
The air was thick with an intensely oppressive, scorching heat, making one feel as if trapped in a desperate, suffocatingly hot furnace.

A few breaths later, Lu Xuan’s eyes snapped open. He looked up at the roof and shot a crimson light through the air.

The streak of crimson light, radiating terrifying high temperatures like raging flames, shot out.

Wherever it passed, the air seemed to ignite and burn, crackling and popping with explosive sounds.

The crimson energy streak continued unimpeded, smashing through the roof and shooting straight into the sky above.

Observing the fiercely burning roof and the heart-palpitating aura of high-temperature destruction spilling forth, Lu Xuan lowered his head.

He raised his right hand and gently waved it towards the roof.

A formless, transparent wave of aura shot towards the roof, extinguishing the raging flames.

Lu Xuan felt the internal energy in his body had been replaced by a powerful aura energy. Every movement now carried immense force.

So this is the External Aura Grandmaster realm?

Lu Xuan had deduced the Blazing Flame Saber Technique twice. The first deduction consumed 450 points, and the second consumed 800 points.

Stunned by this staggering consumption, Lu Xuan looked at the system panel again.
