Chapter 286 – Chapter 285 – The Staying Order
Chapter 286 – The Second Only Eighty-Five Chapter Retention Order
“Where did you …… run off to after all these years?”
“When I came back from that new secret realm, I never saw you again, I thought you had some kind of accident.”
The thin old man’s body trembled slightly, for Lu Xuan, he had always treated him as a son or nephew, and after his sudden disappearance at that time, he could not calm his heart for a long time.
“Elder He, I was in the secret realm when I was spotted by a disciple of a large clan, and was able to have a chance to join the clan, coupled with the accident of an evil spirit sneak attacking me while I was in the secret realm, I hurriedly traveled to the clan in order to stay away from the Wang Family vortex.”
Lu Xuan felt the intense concern in the old man’s tone and said with a hint of apology.
His Spiritual Sense keenly detected a fluctuation, and he immediately said to the thin old man.
“Elder He, let’s change the place to catch up, it’s a bit noisy here.”
“That’s him! Purposely bringing a spirit plant to the Hundred Herb Hall to cause trouble, drive him out for me!”
The middle-aged cultivator with high eyes approached the hall with two Qi Practicing high-level cultivators.
After hearing Lu Xuan’s words, he instantly realized that Lu Xuan was teasing him, and in annoyance, he went to call over the two Qi Practicing Higher Order Cultivators who were maintaining order in the Hundred Herb Hall to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
Lu Xuan looked at the two men who came at him head on and snorted coldly.
Immediately afterward, the spiritual qi in his body surged, and a cold, snow-white sword qi shot out from his fingertips.
The sword qi was like a pike, circling around the two high level Qi Practicing cultivators as well as the middle-aged cultivator, and the three of them immediately felt countless subtle icy sword qi penetrating through their skin and seeping into their blood, bones and flesh.
The cold air filled their bodies as if they were frozen, their movements were slow, and a thin layer of frost sprang up on their skin and hair.
However, what was even colder than the blood and bones was the hearts of the three people, the three people had lived in the marketplace for decades, other than that, their eyesight was quite okay.
The equally icy sea of consciousness was instantly clear about what Lu Xuan’s move meant.
A simple sword qi, will two Qi cultivation high-level cultivators lose most of the power of action, this shows that whether it is the sword Dao comprehension or cultivation, Lu Xuan than do not know how many realms higher.
There was only one possibility, this handsome young man in front of them was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!
Thinking of this, the three of them were all horrified in their eyes.
“A slight punishment, you guys will dissolve it yourselves.”
Lu Xuan casually said, taking Elder He with him and leaving the Hundred Herb Hall.
This sword qi he had casually executed was the Winter Snow Sword Intent from the Four Seasons Sword Technique, and under subtle control, it froze the three people’s qi and blood, and it had to be dissolved by a relevant elixir or talisman, or else it would leave behind hidden dangers.
Thin old man as the Hundred Herb Hall steward, although now the status is not as good as before, but in the center of the square city area has a not small mansion.
“Lu Xuan, you’ve become a Foundation Establishment?”
Elder He took a few deep breaths and asked tentatively.
He was extremely clear in his mind about the two guards’ details, Lu Xuan had subdued the two so easily with a single move, that was only possible with the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment realm.
“That’s right, I can be considered a Foundation Establishment expert now.”
“How’s that? This surprise is alright, isn’t it?”
Lu Xuan regained a few moments of his juvenile nature in front of the thin old man, squeezing his eyebrows and saying.
“You’re still out of shape even after you’ve built your foundation.”
This action of his made the skinny old man feel much kinder all of a sudden, as if he had returned to the old times, and he could not help but laugh and scold.
“However, this surprise of yours really isn’t an ordinary one, making this old man’s heart a bit unbearable for me.”
The old man patted his chest and said.
He really couldn’t imagine that the once downtrodden and poor little loose cultivator at the second level of Qi Practicing had actually become a towering Foundation Establishment expert. The contrast between the two was simply too great.
One must know that the Hundred Herb Hall, as one of the several major forces in the Lin Yang Square City, had the highest cultivation alchemy master at the same Foundation Establishment realm.
In other words, this inconspicuous young man in front of him was actually on par with the Hundred Herb Hall Alchemy Master that he usually looked up to?
Lu Xuan let out a light laugh when he saw the thin old man’s long time inability to calm down.
“Elder He, do you still remember what happened after you introduced me to the Hundred Herb Hall at that time and established a partnership?”
“At that time, somehow, I suddenly realized that I had a good talent in cultivating spiritual plants, as if I was born with the ability to sense the life force of spiritual plants.”
Lu Xuan fell into reminiscence.
The thin old man nodded in agreement, he was deeply impressed by all this.
As the batches of Spirit Glow Grass that Lu Xuan brought over became higher and higher in quality, he held his hand, allowing Lu Xuan to establish a relatively free form of cooperation with the Hundred Herb Hall.
Later on, Lu Xuan even cultivated perfect quality Spirit Glow Grass, as well as when evil spirits invaded the marketplace causing a large number of Spirit Plants to be contaminated, he even stepped in to rescue those diseased Spirit Plants, and the two of them profited a lot from it.
At that time, Lu Xuan received a lot of praise in the Hundred Herb Hall due to his merit in promoting him.
“Later, when I ran into a cultivator from a large sect in the secret realm, he found that I had cultivated a unique spirit plant in the sect, so he gifted me an opportunity to join the sect, and with the help of this opportunity, I smoothly entered the sect, and then took one step at a time to the present.”
Lu Xuan continued.
“All these years, it’s been hard on you.”
The thin old man said in a heavy tone, to be able to grow from a casual cultivator without any background in just less than ten years to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he could imagine that Lu Xuan had encountered an unknown number of hardships and dangers along the way.
“Not tough.” Lu Xuan shook his head in denial.
“It’s just that I practiced hard day and night, worked hard to cultivate spiritual plants, all in exchange for cultivation-enhancing pills, and then luckily broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
He described himself as very hardworking and diligent.
The thin old man, however, still thought that he was reporting the good news, trivializing all the difficulties he encountered, and kept sighing.
He was so like this that Lu Xuan was a bit skeptical of himself.
The two of them kept chatting about the past, and when they got excited, they laughed in unison or lamented.
Half a day later, Lu Xuan saw that it was getting late, so he got up and bid farewell to the thin old man.
“Elder He, I came out this time because I have a mission from the sect, and I was hung up on your old man, so I came over to pay a visit, and now, it’s time to leave.”
“Here are a few small gifts that should be of some use to you or your descendants.”
“This Spirit Fruit can improve your physique, it’s just that the medicinal properties are too strong, so with your cultivation at the middle stage of Qi Practicing, Elder He, you can’t consume too much at once.”
“This bead is called the Explosive Flame Bead, it can instantly erupt a wide range of scorching flames, in case you encounter danger, you can directly strike it out.”
“There’s also this talisman, named the Spirit Purifying Talisman, if you encounter an evil spirit, you can purify and disperse it, and it has a powerful damage to all the Gui level evil spirits.”
“Lastly, this token is called the Green Cloud Order, holding this order, when worshipping the Heavenly Sword Sect, you can save yourself a lot of trouble and have a few more possibilities of success.”
“If there are any outstandingly talented people among your descendants, they can bring this token to the Heavenly Sword Sect.”
As Lu Xuan spoke, a crimson stone bead, a talisman as white as jade, a spirit fruit wrapped in layers of jade skin, and a pale green token floated towards the thin old man.
