Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years

The White Lotus Blood Infant's skin still had some charred marks, seemingly from Lu Xuan's Scarlet Flame Saber Technique.

In contrast to Lu Xuan's excitement, the White Lotus Blood Infant on the other side exhibited an unusual demeanor.

The White Lotus Blood Infant actually began to retreat instinctively, as if it were afraid of Lu Xuan.

It seemed to sense that the person in front of it possessed a terrifying power that made it tremble.

As the White Lotus Blood Infant retreated, Lu Xuan had already transformed into a blur, disappearing from his original spot.

Simultaneously, a lightning-like scarlet ray of light flashed through the void, shooting towards the White Lotus Blood Infant.

Compared to the previous scarlet light, this time, Lu Xuan concentrated all of his inner energy.

The scarlet flames burned slowly, the terrifying heat distorting the space, and then instantly struck the White Lotus Blood Infant, who was trying to dodge.

The scarlet flames clung like maggots to a bone; no matter where the White Lotus Blood Infant fled, it could not shake off the scarlet flames on its body.

Although this White Lotus Blood Infant already possessed the strength of the Blood Refining Realm Completion, it was still too weak in the face of Lu Xuan, who was at the Inner Energy Realm.

The mysterious aura within the White Lotus Blood Infant was destroyed by Lu Xuan's terrifying inner energy with overwhelming speed.

Lu Xuan stood silently to the side until the panel reappeared in his mind.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Inner Energy Realm (Minor Achievement)

Techniques: Scarlet Flame Saber Technique 3/9 (Deducible), Wind Chasing Step Technique 1/9 (Deducible)

Points: 105

Confirm whether to consume 45 points to deduce the Wind Chasing Step Technique.

Confirm whether to consume 60 points to deduce the Scarlet Flame Saber Technique.

Seeing the system points on the system panel exceeding three digits, Lu Xuan was surprised, as this was the first time he had obtained so many system points.

That is to say, the White Lotus Blood Infant had provided him with a full sixty system points at once.

Lu Xuan glanced at the large saber in his hand. There was a flaw on the smooth, bright blade, a visible dark-colored scorch mark, and a flash of heartache appeared in his eyes.

"It seems that the power of the Scarlet Flame Saber Technique has become increasingly terrifying."

"Once I reach Dengfeng County, I'll have to get a new saber!"

This saber was one that Lu Xuan had Liang Cheng find the best blacksmith in the city to forge with high-quality refined iron.

It had cost Lu Xuan a full five or six hundred silver taels, and now, after using it for less than a month, those five or six hundred silver taels were going down the drain.

Even Lu Xuan, who was usually generous, felt a great deal of heartache.

Moreover, Lu Xuan did not bring much silver with him when he left Qingyun County, only a few hundred taels.

A few hundred taels would definitely be more than enough for food and lodging.

However, now that he had to enter the city to replace the saber, it would not be nearly enough.

I wonder where the Lotus Life Temple's vault is hidden?

Without a second thought, Lu Xuan set his sights on the Lotus Life Temple. A temple this large must have considerable wealth.

Just as Lu Xuan was about to leave the underground palace to find a monk from the Lotus Life Temple to inquire about the location of the temple's vault,

at that moment, a series of noisy and panicked footsteps came from the stone steps of the underground palace.

About a few dozen monks quickly ran down the stone steps of the underground palace.

"Something bad has happened!"

"Venerable Master, something has happened to the Abbot! The Abbot died in the Buddha Hall above! Someone has broken into the Lotus Life Temple!"

"Moreover, the White Lotus Sacred Seeds that were distributed seem to have become ineffective! Those martial artists who stayed overnight have discovered our intentions!"

The leading monk looked extremely anxious, and before he even reached the bottom of the underground palace, he hurriedly spoke.

In front of the underground palace's stone steps, Lu Xuan stood quietly, waiting for the monks above to reach the lowest level of the steps.

"Please, Venerable Master, take action..."

The monk standing at the very front hadn't even finished speaking when he saw a tall figure standing at the entrance of the stone steps.

"Who are you?"

"Where is the Venerable Master?"

The monk immediately stopped his steps, and the dozens of monks behind him also stopped.

Lu Xuan had no interest in responding to him, but instead took a deep look at him, and an idea immediately emerged in his mind.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear!

Lu Xuan was just wondering where to find someone to lead the way, and now someone had conveniently delivered themselves to his door.

"What do you want to do? Where is the Venerable Master?"

"We have urgent matters to see the Venerable Master!"

The leading monk, upon seeing Lu Xuan's dark and deep eyes, felt a sense of foreboding in his heart, a bad premonition.

In an instant, Lu Xuan transformed into a blur, rushing forward with a powerful gust of wind.

Wherever he passed, monks fell on the stone steps, and some fell from the stone steps to the bottom of the underground palace, their bodies bearing a sunken palm print.

After one incense stick's worth of time, Lu Xuan had already returned to the ground.

The most up-to-date novels are first published at Six/Nine/Books/Bar!

It was still the familiar Buddha Hall, with a headless corpse still embedded in the wall of the Buddha Hall.

At this moment, Lu Xuan was holding a monk in his large hand, the very same monk who had been at the front just now.

The monk was still in a confused and disoriented state, completely unaware of what had happened.

"Take me to the Lotus Life Temple's vault!"

...

Outside the Lotus Life Temple, the originally silent temple was now brightly lit, with shouts rising and falling.

Countless torches illuminated the entire Lotus Life Temple, with sounds of fighting everywhere.

"Bastard!"

"These damned bald donkeys actually snuck into our bedrooms in the middle of the night."

"It turns out that these monks of the Lotus Life Temple are all imposters! Brothers, quickly kill these fake monks."

"These so-called Lotus Life Sacred Seeds are all fake!"

Lu Xuan ignored these changes, carrying the monk in one hand, leaping across the buildings of the Lotus Life Temple, heading towards the direction of the temple's vault.

Of course, Lu Xuan also took the opportunity to eliminate any other monks of the Lotus Life Temple that he encountered along the way.

Behind the Lotus Life Temple's back mountain, Lu Xuan, following the monk's guidance, arrived in front of a hidden cave.

"Young Hero, the vault of our Lotus Life Temple is inside. Please spare my life."

The monk who was being held in Lu Xuan's hand spoke at this moment.

Unbeknownst to Lu Xuan, a strange smile flashed across the monk's face.

Although Lu Xuan did not see the monk's strange smile, he could hear his rapid heartbeat.

It seems that this cave is a bit strange.

The corners of Lu Xuan's mouth slightly turned up, with a kind smile, he looked at the monk meaningfully, and then slowly opened his mouth to speak.

"Is that so?"

"Master, you are compassionate. Since we have already come here, why not go all the way and scout the path for me."

"You..."

The monk's face instantly turned pale, and just as he was about to refuse Lu Xuan's suggestion,

his body suddenly suffered a great force, and his entire body was thrown into the air, smashing towards the dark and abyss-like cave entrance.
