"who?"
The person inside seemed to sense Lu Xuan's arrival and jumped in fright.
"The owner of this place."
As Lu Xuan's cold voice fell, he stepped into Blackbeard's secret chamber.
Lu Xuan recognized the figure inside. This person was the infamous thief of Red Leaf Market, nicknamed "The Silent Drummer," a mid-stage Qi Refining evil cultivator named Jun Wuxie, who made a living by stealing.
As for how Jun Wuxie managed to sneak into Blackbeard's secret chamber, Lu Xuan had no idea.
“Master? We are both cultivators at the mid-stage of Qi Refining. Everyone has a share, so please don’t go too far.” Seeing that Lu Xuan was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, Jun Wuxie was not too afraid and even started to negotiate.
"Jun Wuxie, you are a rogue cultivator from Red Leaf Market. Why have you come to Blackbeard's Black Cloud Market to beg for money? And what's the deal with the demonic cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Sect?"
Upon hearing this, the thief Jun Wuxie was taken aback:
"You're also a cultivator from Red Leaf Market? In that case, we should be considered friends. How about I share half of Blackbeard's treasure with you?"
"not good."
Lu Xuan discovered that the other party had been secretly activating a vicious magical artifact in preparation for a sneak attack.
"go."
Lu Xuan acted decisively, summoning his flying sword magic weapon, which pierced through Jun Wuxie's dantian at the sixth level of Qi Refining, causing him to die and his cultivation to dissipate.
Lu Xuan kept Jun Wuxie's primordial spirit, holding it in his hand and asking:
"How did you get into Blackbeard's secret chamber? What was your purpose? And tell me about the Heavenly Demon Sect as well."
"All right."
Jun Wuxie still wanted to be reincarnated and didn't want to disappear completely, so his primordial spirit honestly said:
"My name is Jun Wuxie. In my early years, I obtained a stealth technique from the Wu Family Fortress, a nearby cultivation family, which allowed me to thrive in Red Leaf Market. As for this Blackbeard's secret chamber, I only discovered it by chance because it was unguarded, which gave me the idea."
"Hmm, I suppose you wouldn't dare to lie. Were you planning to ambush me just now?" Lu Xuan said calmly.
Upon hearing Lu Xuan's words, Jun Wuxie's primordial spirit revealed an embarrassed expression:
"Please forgive me, fellow Daoist. I acted out of sheer malice, but who knew your strength was unfathomable? The power of this flying sword alone could easily defeat a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining. If I had known this, I would never have dared to ambush you."
"Alright, let's talk about the Heavenly Demon Sect."
Jun Wuxie Dao:
“A few days ago, many independent cultivators from the surrounding area suddenly arrived at our Red Leaf Market. It is said that the Heavenly Demon Sect has swept through more than a dozen large and small cultivation markets in the vicinity!”
He continued, "Soon, the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect attacked Red Leaf Market. More than a dozen Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining took action. We rogue cultivators were no match for them at all. Most of us perished at the hands of those demonic cultivators, and our primordial spirits were refined into the Soul Banner, unable to reincarnate."
"So you escaped using your stealth technique?" Lu Xuan guessed.
“Indeed, I can give this technique to you as an apology for my mistake just now.”
After saying that, Jun Wuxie's primordial spirit transmitted his voice, and Lu Xuan quickly obtained a secret technique called the [Five Elements Mystic Escape Technique].
This technique is more than ten times more advanced than the ordinary Five Elements Escape Technique. It is a closely guarded secret of the Wu Family Fortress, a major family of cultivators.
Legend has it that the ancestor of Wu Family Fort started his family business a hundred years ago using this secret technique, and now Wu Family Fort is a large family with Foundation Establishment cultivators!
Subsequently, Lu Xuan allowed Jun Wuxie's primordial spirit to dissipate naturally, possibly disappearing completely.
Although the concept of reincarnation has existed in the cultivation world for a long time.
As for its authenticity, it's practically impossible to verify! Even ordinary cultivators can't confirm it.
Even Foundation Establishment cultivators probably wouldn't understand.
Even if reincarnation is possible, it's hard to say whether you'll be reborn as a blade of grass, a wild animal, or seaweed.
Of course, these were all just Lu Xuan's guesses. Since the other party was exchanging secret techniques, Lu Xuan didn't want to go against the natural order and push things to the extreme. Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm that way might lead to being attacked by powerful Heavenly Demons.
However, it's highly likely that Jun Wuxie's primordial spirit has completely dissipated. This is because Lu Xuan discovered that Jun Wuxie's primordial spirit had previously cultivated demonic techniques, making it impossible for him to undergo reincarnation.
This is also why demonic cultivators hate the primordial spirits of righteous cultivators. Because those who cultivate demonic techniques cannot reincarnate, while righteous cultivators may be able to reincarnate. Even if they become mortals in the future, it is better than the complete annihilation of the demonic cultivator's soul.
So the demonic cultivators were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Having dealt with Jun Wuxie, the freeloader, Lu Xuan entered Blackbeard's secret chamber.
There was almost nothing inside.
The treasures are all in the treasure vault, which cannot be opened without the incantation. Only a Foundation Establishment cultivator can forcibly break through it.
With a "rip".
Lu Xuan interlaced his five fingers, chanting incantations as he performed a spell.
The treasure vault array light screen disappeared, and a treasure vault appeared.
Upon entering the treasure vault, Lu Xuan discovered that there were only a few hundred spirit stones inside.
There was a Transcending Realm Pill that Blackbeard bought at an auction with most of his fortune.
Lu Xuan accepted the few ordinary magical artifacts.
Lu Xuan also put away some cultivation manuals and other miscellaneous items.
The treasures left behind by Blackbeard are worth at least three thousand spirit stones in total.
He truly lives up to his reputation as the owner of a market town; his wealth is comparable to that of an ordinary early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
You should know that for an ordinary late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, having a few hundred spirit stones in assets is already quite impressive.
Before Lu Xuan, who was at the second level of Qi Refining, it would take him a year to accumulate one spirit stone.
This trip yielded considerable gains, including the Five Elements Mystic Escape Technique and a treasure trove worth thousands of spirit stones! This is enough to support Lu Xuan's cultivation to the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining.
