"Your name is Linghu Wan'er, right? Are you from the Jiuli Sect?"
Linghu Wan'er, who appeared to have an ordinary air about her, immediately replied respectfully upon hearing Lu Xuan's words:
"Reporting to senior, I am a cultivator from the Linghu family, a small cultivation family nearby. I have been living on Jiuli Island since I entered the Qi Refining Realm."
"You say you can cure all sorts of rare poisons in the cultivation world?"
“That’s right. If you don’t believe me, you can go and take a look at my Spirit Medicine Pavilion.”
"So, you're a cultivator who sells pills and elixirs?"
"Senior, you flatter me. I am just an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator. How could I be qualified to open a shop in the market?"
"Let's go, let's take a look at your herbal medicine pavilion."
Suddenly, Lu Xuan followed the other person into a small alley.
Three cultivators at the peak of the late stage of Qi Refining appeared inside.
Clearly, they are in cahoots with Linghu Wan'er.
"Insolence!" Lu Xuan was enraged. This Linghu Wan'er was really asking for death.
Do you really think he's an easy person to fool?
The cultivators in front immediately surrounded Lu Xuan.
"Hand over your storage bag, magic artifacts, spirit stones, and pills, or a few of us will make sure you die a horrible death!"
"Yeah?"
Lu Xuan made his move immediately.
He killed Linghu Wan'er with a single sword strike, giving her no chance to escape.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Xuan activated his Taiyi Sword, instantly killing the remaining late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.
"Trying to ambush us and steal our treasure? You're just asking for trouble!" Lu Xuan sighed.
"Senior, what happened here?"
A rogue cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining came along, hoping to take advantage of the chaos.
"Nothing happened. You're just trying to freeload. I'll teach you a lesson."
Lu Xuan made a move, and with just one sword strike, he sent the Qi Refining rogue cultivator flying, crippling his cultivation.
Soon, the wandering cultivators who had come to watch the spectacle all ran away.
Why are there so many evil cultivators in Jiuli Market?
Isn't there the Jiuli Sect?
Lu Xuan opened Linghu Wan'er's storage bag.
An identity token was found.
"An outer disciple of the Jiuli Sect!"
Unexpectedly, the cultivators who plotted against him were actually from the Jiuli Sect.
That's enough.
It seems that Lu Xuan will be going to the Jiuli Sect today to demand an explanation.
Unfortunately, his cultivation level has not fully recovered.
To Lu Xuan's delight, Linghu Wan'er's storage bag indeed contained a considerable number of antidote pills.
One of them could actually alleviate Lu Xuan's Gu poison.
"It was a worthwhile trip."
It seems that the Jiuli Sect is not safe.
It's best to leave Jiuli Island as soon as possible.
Flying out of Jiuli Island.
Lu Xuan flew thousands of miles away.
He randomly found an abandoned, desolate island and built a cave dwelling there.
He began his secluded cultivation.
Preparing to restore my realm.
I'll go check on the situation at the Jiuli Sect later.
If the Jiuli Sect is full of evil cultivators.
Lu Xuan did not recommend acting on behalf of Heaven to destroy the Jiuli Sect.
There are many demonic beasts on this island, all of them at the first or second level of Qi Refining.
Lu Xuan dealt with most of them with just a few casual sword strikes.
"Fellow Daoist, where do you come from?"
Unexpectedly, there was a rogue cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining on this island.
"Oh, who are you?"
"My name is Wu Kong. I am a native cultivator of this island and also the island's resident cultivator. I am at the late stage of Qi Refining. May I ask where you come from, fellow Daoist?"
"This dilapidated island needs a cultivator to oversee it; you must have some unspeakable secret."
Suddenly, Lu Xuan used his Qi-gazing technique and detected the other party's demonic aura.
It turns out he was a genuine demonic cultivator.
If Lu Xuan hadn't mastered the art of observing qi to such a high degree, he might not have been able to discover the true nature of this monastery.
"Taiyi Sword, go! Slaying demons and eliminating evil is the mission of us righteous cultivators!" Lu Xuan chanted the incantation for the sword control technique, greatly increasing the power of the flying sword.
With just one sword strike, he killed the demonic cultivator, his soul scattered and his spirit dispersed.
How dare a mere demonic cultivator be so insolent before me?
It seems there might be some secrets hidden on this island!
Without hesitation, Lu Xuan summoned his flying sword and charged through the thorns and brambles to reach the island.
As expected, Lu Xuan discovered something strange inside.
One of the abandoned cave dwellings turned out to be the cave dwelling of an ancient Core Formation cultivator.
Unfortunately, it has already been searched.
"Golden Light Technique!"
Lu Xuan used a secret technique and instantly found the entrance to the cave.
There were indeed many good things inside.
Broken magical artifacts, rotten elixirs, rare and precious materials—they had everything, truly opening Lu Xuan's eyes to a whole new world.
"If only all these good things hadn't rotted!"
Lu Xuan clicked his tongue a few times, then regretfully prepared to leave the cave.
"wrong."
Lu Xuan noticed something amiss!
There are government agencies involved.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Xuan found a hidden mechanism on a wall.
With a creak.
Lu Xuan discovered a secret room.
There are actually quite a few ancient treasures inside.
The magical artifacts, elixirs, and medicinal seeds inside are useless now; they've rotted and lost their spiritual energy.
Only a few jade slips remain exactly as they were back then.
I opened it and took a look.
One of the books contains the ancient True Essence Techniques.
What a coincidence!
Since it is possible to find all the cultivation techniques of the True Essence Manual in this endless sea of immortals...
However, this was of no use to Lu Xuan.
