"Please forgive me, senior. I am just a lowly maidservant in the Xuanling Pavilion. I thought you were just a rogue cultivator. It turns out you are a Core Formation cultivator in our Great Yan cultivation world. This time, I can let you go directly to the Xuanling Tower without giving us any more spirit stones."
"Really? Can you make that decision? You're just a lowly maid in the late Qi Refining stage. If you can't make that decision, you should let one of the stewards from your Xuanling Pavilion do it!"
After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he went to the table and chairs next to him and sat down leisurely. He picked up a pot of tea nearby and gulped it down, completely ignoring Xi'er.
At this moment, the maid Xi'er on the other side finally realized that she had offended a powerful figure she shouldn't have.
After learning Lu Xuan's surname, Xi'er said frankly:
“Senior Lu, I forgot to tell you earlier that I am actually the daughter of the Pavilion Master, True Person Qianhuan, of our Xuanling Pavilion. I came out to gain experience. Although my current position is just a maid, I believe it is a very worthwhile deal for our Xuanling Pavilion to make friends with a powerful Core Formation stage expert. What do you think, Senior Lu?”
"snort."
Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan didn't give her any face at all, and his face turned cold as he said:
“I know your father, Master Qianhuan. He’s just a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage. You think you can use your father’s name to intimidate me? I think you’re overthinking it.”
"Taiyi Sword!"
Lu Xuan gave a cold snort, and a pale golden flying sword flew out from his palm.
"A mid-grade magic weapon?"
The Foundation Establishment deacons of the Xuanling Pavilion who rushed over immediately sensed something was wrong when they saw Lu Xuan's flying sword magic weapon.
"Xi'er, you good-for-nothing! What did you do to anger this senior? How are we going to explain this to our sect leader?"
The maid Xi'er, however, looked completely unconcerned and said:
"Oh right, I haven't told you fools yet that my father is your Pavilion Master, Master Qianhuan. Do I need to explain my actions to you?"
"I'll handle things with my father. You bunch of idiots, get the hell out of my sight! If you piss me off, I'll kick you all out of the Xuanling Pavilion, and I might even strip you of your cultivation and magic, turning you back into mortals."
"What? You're the most mysterious young master of our Xuanling Pavilion!" a senior deacon in the late Foundation Establishment stage exclaimed in shock.
"Xi'er, is this true?"
"Young Master, we were wrong. Please don't hold our ignorance against us. We don't want to be mortals again."
Hearing the apologies from the stewards, Xi'er calmed down. She then took out a gorgeous dress from her storage ring, changed into it, and instantly transformed into someone who resembled the young master of the pavilion.
Then Xi'er took out a glittering, five-pointed golden token from her high-grade storage ring and respectfully handed it to Lu Xuan with both hands:
“Senior Lu, this is our Xuanling Pavilion’s Xuanjin Token. There are only fifty of them. I think you are worthy of this token.”
There are also 30,000 low-grade spirit stones here, which are a gift to apologize to you, senior.
Furthermore, in the future, if you come to Xuanling Pavilion to buy anything, you can come directly to me. I will definitely give you a reasonable price and will not treat you poorly.
"Is that so? You little lady do have some sincerity! Alright, since that's the case, I, Lu, am not an unreasonable evil cultivator. Perhaps what happened today was just a misunderstanding. Alright, enough nonsense, take me to your top-level Xuanling Tower!"
"Senior, please."
After inviting Lu Xuan to the Xuanling Tower, Young Master Xi'er asked directly:
"I wonder what kind of classic texts you need, senior? I can find them for you. Otherwise, there are countless ancient classic texts of all kinds in this Xuanling Pavilion. I'm afraid you might not be able to find them in time, which would waste your time."
"Hmm, you're very thoughtful. Let's do as you say!"
"Go find me some cultivation techniques and manuals for breaking through to the late Core Formation stage and the Nascent Soul stage! I plan to stay here for four or five days. You can leave after you bring the items."
With Lu Xuan's consent.
It took Xi'er most of the hour to search through dozens of bookshelves and find dozens of ancient manuals.
“Senior, is this what you wanted? By the way, there’s a secluded cultivation room nearby. Why don’t you go there to cultivate? Normally, it costs a thousand low-grade spirit stones a day, but this time I won’t ask you to pay any spirit stones.”
"only……"
Xi'er suddenly stopped talking.
"Oh, is there something you need? Why don't you tell me? If it's something I can help you with, I might not refuse. But if it's something that would put me in a difficult position, then there's no need to ask."
Upon hearing Lu Xuan's words, Xi'er did not hesitate and immediately bowed to him, saying:
"Senior Lu, it's like this. My father, True Person Qianhuan, failed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage some time ago, and his dantian was seriously injured."
Most importantly, he offended a rogue cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage years ago. That rogue cultivator already knows about my father's injury and is reportedly coming to our Xuanling Pavilion for revenge, saying he intends to completely destroy our Xuanling Pavilion.
"A rogue cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage? What's his background? What magic weapons does he possess? And what benefits can your Xuanling Pavilion offer me?"
Furthermore, what makes Xuanling Pavilion think that it can deal with a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage?
"Of course, I'll also be there to help you deal with that fake infant evil cultivator."
The sound came, and the ascetic monk from before walked in.
Upon seeing this, the young master Xi'er immediately introduced the person, saying:
"Senior Tuo is the helper my father, Master Qianhuan, invited. He didn't recognize me just now. If Senior Lu joins us in this matter, I believe we can withstand that evil cultivator at the Pseudo-Nascent Soul stage!"
"Don't you have any other experts in Fengluo Market to help you? Isn't there the Righteous Alliance? How could you allow an evil cultivator to come to Fengluo Market seeking revenge?"
Lu Xuan's questions were truly insightful, leaving Xi'er somewhat at a loss for words before she finally revealed the truth:
"Reporting to the senior, our Xuanling Pavilion used to belong to the Righteous Path Alliance of the Great Yan Immortal Cultivation World. Later, my father, True Person Qianhuan, voluntarily left the Righteous Path Alliance. Now, there are no experts above the Nascent Soul stage to help us. We can only try to find some powerful late-stage Core Formation cultivators."
The monk also said, "Yes, what the young master said is correct. I also heard about the perilous situation of True Person Qianhuan, which is why I came out of seclusion to help Xuanling Pavilion repel the enemy."
The young master Xi'er then promised:
"Senior Lu, if you can help us defeat this powerful enemy, our Xuanling Pavilion is willing to give away a Holy Ice Pill!"
"What? It's actually this? A top-tier pill that can increase the chances of a Core Formation cultivator breaking through to a higher realm by 30%?"
