"Your last name is Lu?" Li Xue'er suddenly remembered her master's instructions, asking her to keep an eye on two girls with the last name Lu, one of whom was exactly fourteen years old. Her eyes flashed with doubt and inquiry, as if she was trying to find some clues from Lu Xuanxin.

"You know me?" Lu Xuanxin asked in surprise. She wasn't famous enough, was she? She was filled with doubts and puzzlement, wondering why this woman who suddenly appeared was paying so much attention to her.

"You are from the borderland Jingjiang country?" Li Xueer continued to ask, her eyes flashing with expectation and eagerness. She seemed to be looking for an answer, an answer that could solve the mystery in her heart.

Lu Xuanxin remained silent, thinking about what Old Lady Li had mentioned about the Mu family. Since she couldn't find anyone from the Mu family, maybe she could send someone to inquire about it. Her eyes flashed with thought and determination, as if she was making an important decision.

"Goodbye!" Thinking of this, Lu Xuanxin bowed and turned to leave. Her figure shuttled through the woods, like a nimble deer, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Li Xue'er watched her leave, but her doubts grew. The master only told her to be more careful when she met the girl named Lu, but did not explain her true identity. Her eyes flashed with confusion and curiosity, as if she was trying to solve a mystery.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of the legend of Master Mu. Could it be that Master Mu was from the Mu family of Tianyu Trading Company? Master Mu's origin was mysterious, but he lived in the wild land of Jingjiang, which made people suspicious. Her mind was full of speculations and conjectures, as if she was trying to piece together a complete picture.

So, Miss Lu might be the direct descendant of the Mu family? Li Xueer was extremely smart and had already come close to the truth. Her eyes flashed with wisdom and insight, as if she had seen the truth of the matter. She knew that this girl named Lu might be the answer she had been looking for.

With a flash of silver light, Lu Xuanxin leisurely drew out the silver sword from her palm. The blade was shimmering with the faint moonlight, as if it contained endless stories. She gently opened her red lips and chanted a spell. In an instant, the air around her seemed to be ignited, and the spiritual power of fire gathered and turned into a blazing flame, entwining the blade of the sword. The sword became more powerful because of the blessing of the flame, with an irresistible might, but her spiritual power consumption was minimal. This was a unique skill she had learned from the previous difficult battles with wisdom and perseverance.

"Roar--"

At this moment, a wolf-pig with a strange body shape suddenly jumped up. It had a strong fishy smell on its body, mixed with the scent of earth and rotten leaves. It swept in like a strong wind, and its roar was deafening, shaking the heaven and earth, and making people's hearts beat wildly involuntarily, as if they were about to jump out of the chest!

Lu Xuanxin was about to use her wind-like light body skills to dodge the sudden attack, but suddenly she felt as if she was frozen by a piercing cold, and her mind was almost taken away by that invisible force. It was an indescribable coldness, as if it came from the underworld, penetrating into her bones.

She shook her head violently, her eyes widened, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and she saw that the wolf-pig was already close at hand, with its fangs bared and bloodthirsty eyes flashing. She quickly turned sideways and swung the silver sword, with a thousand pounds of force, cutting through the air and pointing directly at the wolf-pig's vital points.

"Qiang!"

A crisp metal collision sounded, sparks flew everywhere, and Lu Xuanxin couldn't help but take a few steps back, horrified. It turned out that this mutant beast could attack mentally, and she almost got hit just now. Fortunately, the chill made her wake up in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. She was secretly alert, the strength of this wolf pig was far beyond the ordinary, and should not be underestimated.

This wolf-pig not only has powerful mental attacks, but also has solid defenses. When Lu Xuanxin's sword hit it, only a "clang" sound was heard, as if it was hitting metal or stone, sparks flew, but it failed to hurt it at all.

"Roar--"

The wolf-pig pounced again with astonishing speed. The wind was whistling because of it, and the air around it seemed to be oppressed by its momentum and became heavy.

"Come on!" Lu Xuanxin shouted delicately, tapping the ground with her toes. Her figure flashed like a ghost. The silver sword, with a blazing flame, stabbed straight into the wolf-pig's face. Wherever the tip of the sword passed, the air seemed to be ignited.

The flame broke away from the sword and turned into a fire dragon, heading straight for the wolf pig. A trace of fear flashed in the wolf pig's eyes, and it actually lowered its head like a human being, trying to avoid this fatal blow. However, the flame seemed to have eyes and kept chasing after it.

The flames passed over the wolf-pig's head and landed on its back, instantly igniting its hair. The fire spread rapidly, enveloping it and emitting bursts of pungent burnt smell.

"Hooho-"

The wolf-pig rolled on the ground in pain, and its howling echoed through the sky, shaking the surrounding trees and causing leaves to fall.

After the fire gradually died down, the wolf-pig kicked its limbs around, its hair was burnt black, and its eyes flashed with crazy anger. It pounced on Lu Xuanxin again viciously, as if it wanted to vent all its pain on her.

"Come again?" Lu Xuan was secretly shocked and quickly dodged, her figure as light and graceful as catkins. She originally thought that the wolf pig would be afraid of it, but unexpectedly it aroused its ferocity, making the battle even more difficult.

The man and the beast fought for half an hour. Relying on his profound spiritual power and superb swordsmanship, Lu Xuanxin finally exhausted the wolf-pig's physical strength, forcing it to flee and disappear into the depths of the dense forest.

"Whoosh-"

Lu Xuanxin leaned against a tree and panted, with beads of sweat on her forehead. She felt very aggrieved. She secretly vowed to improve her cultivation and never let such a beast bully her again. There was a firm light in her eyes, which was a desire for power and a pursuit of strength.

She looked at the direction where the wolf-pig fled and pondered: "It would be great if I could be promoted to the spiritual master level! How could I suffer such injustice?" Her heart was full of longing and expectation for the future.

"The wolf-pig's mental attack seems to have a time limit. If it happens again, I might be in real danger." Thinking of this, Lu Xuanxin didn't dare to stay any longer and decided to leave this place immediately to find a place with rich spiritual energy and get promoted to a spiritual master first.

Just as she was about to leave, a noise came from afar, breaking the tranquility of the forest. Lu Xuanxin paused slightly and looked in the direction of the sound. She saw a group of people rushing in a certain direction, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.

"Hey, brother, are you going to Lingquan too?"

"Yes, I heard that the spiritual spring has the miraculous effect of cleansing the marrow and strengthening the tendons. Who wouldn't want to go there?"

"Even if it doesn't have the effect of marrow cleansing, it's worth going just to increase your cultivation."

"I heard that the spiritual spring only appears once every hundred years. We are so lucky to encounter it."

"Hurry up, if you go too late you won't get a share."

Lu Xuan's heart moved, and she thought: "Could it be that Tianying and the others have also gone to Lingquan? Maybe they can help me become a spiritual master there!" So she quickened her pace and rushed towards the crowd.

As she got closer to her destination, she saw more and more people coming, all obviously heading for the spiritual spring. After passing through the dense forest, she came to a valley, where the spiritual energy was so dense that it seemed like water could drip out, and the surroundings were shrouded in mist, like a fairyland. However, the valley was in chaos, as it turned out that the entrance to the valley had been guarded by several people, and if you wanted to enter, you had to pay ten spiritual stones as a fee.

Lu Xuanxin looked around, trying to find Tianying and the others, but she could not find any trace of them in the crowded crowd. So she had to ask a young man next to her about the situation.

The young man took a look at Lu Xuanxin and was immediately attracted by her beauty. Her voice was clear and melodious, her eyes were as clear as water, her face was lightly covered by a veil, her skin was whiter than snow, and her figure was light and moving, as if she was a fairy walking out of a painting. He replied shyly, "The front is occupied by several powerful forces. If you want to enter, you must pay ten spirit stones."

"Huh?" Lu Xuanxin was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect there was such a rule. You know, in Jingjiang Country, ten spirit stones are quite precious, but in the Nebula Empire, they are just ordinary things, but not everyone can easily take them out.

"These spirit stones are resources for cultivation. Many people save them for emergencies." She thought to herself, and couldn't help but feel a little hesitant. These ten spirit stones were also a considerable expense for her.

"Who are these forces?" She couldn't help but ask, wanting to know more about these forces.

"There are the Xingyun prince's party, Dayan's third prince Yan Fei, Dayan's crown prince Wei Shucong, and people from Yaowang Valley." Another young man next to him interrupted, his eyes flashing with envy and awe.

"They all went in with their men, and everyone else was kept out."

"Some people tried to force their way in without spirit stones, but ended up being severely injured. This is a warning to others."

"This spiritual spring is not privately owned by them, why don't they allow people in? This is too much!" Everyone expressed their dissatisfaction, but no one dared to step forward to challenge the authority of those big forces.

Lu Xuanxin squeezed to the front and saw that there were indeed several great spiritual masters standing at the entrance of the valley like wolves and tigers, looking at everyone coldly, their eyes full of arrogance and disdain. On the side, there were more than a dozen seriously injured people lying, obviously those unlucky people who tried to force their way in. Their bodies were covered with scars and bloodstains, and they looked horrible.

Seeing this scene, Lu Xuanxin was also indignant. But she knew that now was not the time to fight head-on, so she decided to practice here first. Although the spiritual energy here was not as good as the spiritual spring, it was much stronger than outside. She found a relatively quiet place to sit down, closed her eyes and began to practice.

However, just as she was about to sit down to practice, she heard a commotion in the distance. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of people rushing towards the Lingquan. Their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation, as if they had seen the dawn of promotion. She thought, "Could it be that Tianying and the others are here too? I have to go over and take a look!" So she stood up, flashed, and chased after the group of people.

"Three elder brothers, I am still young and my cultivation is shallow, just like a young bud in early spring. Even if I am lucky enough to step into the spiritual spring, I am afraid it will be difficult to absorb some of the essence of spiritual energy. Can you be merciful and waive my spiritual stone fee so that I can have a glimpse of its mystery?" Lu Xuanxin moved lightly and slowly walked towards the three men guarding the gate, with a flattering smile on her face and a soft voice with a bit of pleading.

"Hmph, you're hiding your true identity from others, yet you still want to set foot in our territory?" A burly man with a stern face like a mountain rejected her mercilessly, his words revealing unquestionable majesty.

"Huh? Is there such a rule?" Lu Xuanxin pretended to be surprised, lowered her eyelids slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally lifted the veil covering her face. At that moment, it was as if time had frozen and the air had stopped. Her face was exposed to everyone, and it was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

"Oh my god, which fairy has come to the mortal world?"

"My goddess! I fall in love with her at first sight. I am instantly intoxicated!"

"Little sister, from now on, you are everything in my life!"

There were exclamations of admiration all around, and even the three men guarding the gate were stunned, with disbelief flashing in their eyes, and even their breathing seemed to become rapid.

One of the handsome men looked at Lu Xuanxin deeply, and said with some concern: "Little girl, why did you come to this dangerous place alone? You look underage, do you know that this place is full of dangers?"

"I... I ran away secretly. I heard that it is a rare opportunity to practice cultivation here, so I yearned for it. Brother, my cultivation is shallow, and I absorb spiritual energy slowly. I just ask you to let me go in and try." Lu Xuanxin blinked his big eyes and pretended to be pitiful, but in fact he was holding a few spirit stones tightly in his hands and was just reluctant to spend them.
