Carefully inspecting, Wu Yueqin couldn't help but ask, "Any more Netherworld Grass?"
"None left."
Lu Xuanji said, "We were just lucky to happen to pick some Netherworld Grass."
"What a pity."
Calling it a pity, Wu Yueqin took out two Spirit Stone Tickets and several spirit stones, and handed them to Lu Xuanji.
Spirit Stone Tickets represent the value of spirit stones, with a minimum denomination of one hundred spirit stones.
You can use Spirit Stone Tickets to purchase items at some shops or exchange them for spirit stones.
Selling these materials earned two hundred and thirty-five spirit stones.
"Thank you."
Lu Xuanji said, putting the Spirit Stone Tickets and spirit stones into the storage bag.
"By the way, there's good news," Wu Yueqin said, "The Grand Elder of the Lu Family is rebuilding the Lu Family on Changyuan Mountain."
"The Old Ancestor of Yan Yang struck and killed all of our Foundation Establishment Cultivators. How is the Grand Elder still alive?" Lu Xuanji asked cautiously.
"It's not just the Grand Elder. The Fourth Elder and Seventh Elder are still alive, and some cultivators of the Lu Family are also survivors. Just when the Old Ancestor of Yan Yang was annihilating the Lu Family Cultivators and destroying a Lu Family marketplace, an elder from the Dan Yang Sect intervened and severely injured the Old Ancestor of Yan Yang."
"The Old Ancestor of Yan Yang fled. The elder from the Dan Yang Sect pursued him for thirty thousand miles, and eventually, the Old Ancestor of Yan Yang fled our Chu Country. By the time he reached the borders of Wu Country, the Purple Mansion Elder could only give up."
"The Dan Yang Sect has already issued a pursuit order, putting the Old Ancestor of Yan Yang on the wanted list. If he dares to appear in the territories of Chu Country, he will certainly be slain."
...
Wu Yueqin continued to recount some matters about the Lu Family.
Some were known to Lu Xuanji, but others were unknown.
Although the Old Ancestor of Yan Yang conquered Purple Sun Mountain, destroyed many marketplaces of the Lu Family, and killed most of the Lu Family's Foundation Establishment Cultivators, with even seven layers of Qi Cultivation Cultivators dying, his actions also attracted intervention and strikes from the Dan Yang Sect.
The Old Ancestor of Yan Yang was forced to leave Chu Country and could no longer set foot in Qingshui Commandery.
At least for now, the Lu Family is safe.
Because of the departure of the Old Ancestor of Yan Yang, Lu Family cultivators are gradually gathering at Changyuan Mountain, starting to rebuild the Lu Family.
"Thank you."
Lu Xuanji said.
"No problem. Our Wu Family and the Lu Family are allied through marriage, with close relations, so we can help with small matters," Wu Yueqin said.
Returning to the Cave Mansion, Lu Xuanji spoke to Ye Feixue about the rebuilding of the Lu Family.
"Rebuilding the Lu Family remains difficult, with many unwilling to see the Lu Family grow stronger, trying to trip them up. The only fortunate thing is that the Ye Family and Wu Family are allied through marriage, so they will provide some assistance. Because of the rules of the Dan Yang Sect, some clans even if they try to suppress the Lu Family, still have to follow some rules."
Lu Xuanji said, analyzing the situation and envisioning the Lu Family's future.
"Brother, let's return to the Lu Family."
"Alright."
Packing up belongings, handling some formalities, canceling the Cave Mansion and spiritual fields.
They bid farewell to the Wu Family marketplace and headed to Changyuan Mountain.
Just moments after the two left, a message was conveyed.
Finally, it reached a certain area.
"The Lu Family wants to rebuild, but I will not allow it. Kill them."
In the darkness, a figure said coldly.
...
Changyuan City Mountain, located on the edge of Qingshui Commandery, was once a Lu Family marketplace.
Here lies a Second Level Spirit Vein, available for Lu Family cultivators to cultivate.
Leaving the Wu Family marketplace, the two, eager and excited, headed towards Changyuan Mountain. After walking for half a day, they gradually arrived at a desolate wilderness, sparsely populated with occasional demon beast sightings.
As they walked.
Lu Xuanji suddenly felt uneasy as a dark silhouette appeared on the path ahead.
Veiled and blocking their way.
"Who are you?"
Lu Xuanji asked.
"I'm here to kill and take treasures, and conveniently wipe out you two small guys. The Lu Family wants to rebuild, but I won't allow it," the black-clothed person spoke, revealing a Foundation Establishment Stage aura, exerting pressure.
Just the aura suppression made Lu Xuanji feel suffocated.
"Senior is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, why trouble the juniors?"
Lu Xuanji spoke up.
"Haha, because you two are fat sheep. As they say, even a shabby ship has three pounds of nails. You two surely possess good stuff," the black-clothed person said, "Enough talk, killing you makes your stuff mine."
"Kill."
The black-clothed person activated a flying sword, thrusting toward them.
But just as it was about to strike Lu Xuanji, a protective shield appeared around Lu Xuanji's body, shielding him and Ye Feixue.
啪啪.
The flying sword repeatedly stabbed, yet couldn't break through.
"Interesting."
The black-clothed person sneered, about to activate the flying sword again.
But at this moment, a spine-chilling sensation emerged.
Lu Xuanji held a Jade Talisman in his hand, activating and throwing it.
"Not good."
The black-clothed person felt uneasy, immediately attempting to escape a hundred meters away. But the Jade Talisman followed relentlessly like a maggot clinging to a bone.
It exploded ten meters away, with endless flames sweeping around.
"Second Level Flame Talisman! Junior, I will kill you." Flames clashed against the black-clothed person, leaving him wretched, with lines of blood and tattered clothes.
Enraged and humiliated, he was about to strike back.
But at that moment, another Jade Talisman struck, and the void was filled with dense thunderbolts.
The black-clothed person dodged but was ultimately a beat too slow, overwhelmed by lightning.
噼里啪啦.
Amidst intense crackling, the black-clothed person was charred by the lightning, his aura weakened.
Kill.
Lu Xuanji stepped forward, striking at the black-clothed person.
The black-clothed person begged, "Spare me."
噗嗤!
A sword pierced through the heart.
Feeling it wasn't enough, another sword cut off the head.
呼呼.!
Lu Xuanji exhaled deeply with relief, grateful for the ancestor's life-saving trump card; otherwise, he would have perished.
Sensing behind, there were still cultivators covertly watching.
"Let's go."
Lu Xuanji didn't spare money, directly taking out a Jade Talisman and crushing it on the spot.
Immediately, a force of teleportation came, and Lu Xuanji and Ye Feixue disappeared.
When they appeared again, they were five miles away.
After teleporting five miles away, Lu Xuanji quickly used a Breath Concealment Talisman on himself and another on Ye Feixue, gathering their aura and hiding.
After the two disappeared, the observers witnessing the scene were dumbfounded.
A Foundation Establishment Cultivator attacking two Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators was supposed to be foolproof, but it failed.
"A Third Level Flame Talisman, worth fifteen hundred spirit stones; a Third Level Thunderbolt Talisman, worth two thousand spirit stones. This little Lu Family brat is loaded, and just like that, thirty-five hundred spirit stones are gone."
"Originally, the Lu Family had declined. Wanting to pick on the fallen, to cut off the last branch, but now it seems the fallen dog is not easy to beat."
"The Lu Family, after all, has a millennium of heritage, having birthed three Purple Mansion Cultivators throughout the millennium, still has a certain foundation. Eating up the Lu Family carelessly might break your teeth."
"This little Lu Family brat is indeed impressive, normally inconspicuous but exploded in two moves to kill a Foundation Establishment Cultivator."
"Having wealth means privilege, even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator can't be too arrogant."
The covert onlookers saw Lu Xuanji's mighty display, "killing" the Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and each felt a sense of caution in their hearts.
The various thoughts in their minds were thoroughly restrained.
Originally planning to kill and seize treasures, but seeing how tough the prey was, they chose to give up.
