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

Inside the quiet room, the black crystal box trembled slightly before Lu Xuan, without any warning.

Despite the absence of even a breeze in the surrounding space, the lid seemed to be gently pushed by invisible hands, slowly opening.

Within the box, a miniature black tree lay quietly, only about the size of a palm, appearing ordinary yet emitting an indescribable, faint light.

The moment Lu Xuan opened the box, a vast and boundless black aura, as if imprisoned for ages, was finally released.

The black aura surged out with lightning speed.

This black aura, full of vitality, rushed out fiercely, as if to break through the confines of the room and sweep outwards.

However, at this moment, outside the room, a purple aura shield emitting a mysterious luster appeared in the air.

Like a giant purple dome, it tightly enveloped the entire room.

This purple shield was incredibly tough, overflowing with an extremely terrifying aura.

It staunchly resisted the frantically surging black aura, preventing it from crossing the boundary.

Having learned from the previous experience with a top-grade treasure of heaven and earth, Lu Xuan immediately used his divine sense to seal off this space.

This was to prevent the terrifying spiritual energy of the blessed land treasure from leaking out and causing a sensational storm of heaven and earth spiritual energy.

A hint of shock flickered in Lu Xuan's eyes, the scene before him shaking him deeply.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the room was so dense that it had almost condensed into visible mist, permeating the air.

It felt as if Lu Xuan could touch the moist spiritual essence simply by reaching out.

Every wisp of spiritual energy flowed like a living thing, emitting a palpitating aura of life.

Being in this dense spiritual energy, even a martial artist like Lu Xuan, who had already entered the Divine Mansion realm, felt an unprecedented sense of joy.

The rich spiritual energy of the Black Spirit Wood seemed to be all-pervasive, seeping into his body through his pores, nourishing his flesh, meridians, and even his soul.

His body relaxed involuntarily, as if every cell was cheering and greedily absorbing the purest spiritual energy in the world.

"Such dense spiritual energy is simply unheard of..."

Lu Xuan murmured softly, his heart both shocked and secretly excited.

If he hadn't sealed off this space immediately, this level of heaven and earth spiritual energy concentration could have triggered unpredictable consequences.

Perhaps the heaven and earth spiritual energy of this Black Spirit Wood would have soared to the ninth heaven, extending throughout the entire Heavenly Capital.

Lu Xuan took a deep breath, feeling the comfort of the heaven and earth spiritual energy flowing through his body, and quickly adjusted his mindset.

Then, his gaze locked tightly on the top of the Black Spirit Wood, where a point of pure black light was constantly emitting astonishing power fluctuations.

The power of law?

"This blessed land treasure, Black Spirit Wood... is probably more precious than I imagined."

Lu Xuan pondered, a hint of fervor flashing in his eyes.

He held his breath and focused his mind, the Divine Mansion within his body quietly operating, and terrifying divine sense swept out from his body.

Under the guidance of Lu Xuan's divine sense, the blessed land treasure—Black Spirit Wood—slowly detached from the box, suspended in mid-air, and slowly moved towards Lu Xuan.

The Black Spirit Wood was as black as ink, but its surface faintly shimmered with a deep luster, as if it could devour all surrounding light.

On its surface, every inch of texture contained an indescribable spiritual essence, like a condensation of profound mysteries formed by nature.

As the Black Spirit Wood approached, the spiritual energy around Lu Xuan became increasingly dense.

The water-like heaven and earth spiritual energy, like a spiritual ocean, almost submerged his figure.

Lu Xuan no longer hesitated, reaching out to gently touch the surface of the Black Spirit Wood.

In an instant, a cold and profound power surged into his body through his fingertips, as if to pull him into endless darkness.

Lu Xuan's heart jolted, and his body suddenly radiated a golden light, protecting his entire being.

"It seems there are no hidden tricks."

Lu Xuan muttered to himself, the last of his caution dissipating.

In that instant, Lu Xuan used his divine sense to examine the Black Spirit Wood back and forth several times.

Apart from its pure heaven and earth spiritual energy, there was no other power.

After confirming the safety of the Black Spirit Wood, Lu Xuan no longer hesitated.

He reached out his right hand, his five fingers extended, and endless purple light emerged from his palm.

The dense, almost tangible purple divine sense, like nimble purple threads, frantically intertwined and wrapped around the Black Spirit Wood, sealing it tightly.

Having done all this, Lu Xuan did not hesitate, and suddenly opened his mouth.

A powerful suction force emanated from his mouth, and the Black Spirit Wood, along with his divine sense, was instantly swallowed by Lu Xuan.

As the Black Spirit Wood entered Lu Xuan's body, it immediately stirred up a storm of spiritual energy.

The pure heaven and earth spiritual energy of the Black Spirit Wood washed over Lu Xuan's meridians like a torrent, nourishing every inch of his flesh.

As this vast heaven and earth spiritual energy continued to pour in, deep within Lu Xuan's Divine Mansion,

the seated purple divine sense figure suddenly opened its eyes at this moment.

The purple divine sense figure's eyes were as deep as the starry sky, as if containing endless mysteries and power.

Then, the body of the purple divine sense figure grew at a speed visible to the naked eye under the nourishment of the spiritual energy.

The originally somewhat illusory figure gradually condensed into a transparent liquid shape, constantly emitting a palpitating pressure.

It was evident that the purple divine sense figure was only one step away from completely transforming into a Nascent Soul!

And the terrifying aura around Lu Xuan was increasing at an extremely fast rate.

The profound golden light radiating from the surface of his body also seemed to have undergone an incredible transformation, overflowing with an astonishing aura of life.

However, Lu Xuan did not relax in the slightest.

With his current body, blessed by Immortality and Indestructibility, it could be described as terrifyingly powerful.

Even if top-grade heaven and earth spiritual energy entered his body again, it would only be a fleeting result.

But at this time, Lu Xuan, facing this blessed land treasure, faintly revealed a sense of being overwhelmed, and refining it seemed quite difficult.

Lu Xuan's mind moved, and his divine sense firmly controlled the flow of the heaven and earth spiritual energy of the Black Spirit Wood.

He ensured that every wisp of pure heaven and earth spiritual energy could be perfectly absorbed by his body.

Looking closely, Lu Xuan's figure was faintly visible in the dense spiritual energy, as if he was integrated with this world.

Only his closed eyes occasionally flashed with a faint purple light.

Three days later!

The heaven and earth spiritual energy raging in the room had been completely absorbed by Lu Xuan, not a single drop was left.

Lu Xuan still maintained his cross-legged posture, sitting steadily on the futon on the ground.

Then, Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were calm and waveless, as deep as the bottomless abyss, making it difficult to pry into the emotions within.

"The Divine Mansion has expanded several times over!"

"Is it the influence of that wisp of law power from the Black Spirit Wood?"

Within Lu Xuan's Divine Mansion, the divine sense figure, surrounded by purple aura, was quietly sitting at the deepest part of the Divine Mansion.

Its body was flowing with purple light, and every flash of light was releasing astonishing ripples.

After the Divine Mansion expanded several times, Lu Xuan felt that his divine sense had also become several times stronger.

With Lu Xuan's current powerful divine sense, even with the Divine Mansion Minor Accomplishment realm, he could easily crush a Nascent Soul True Person of the Divine Mansion Great Accomplishment realm!

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Divine Mansion True Person (Minor Accomplishment)

Techniques: Burning Heaven Saber Art 4/9 (Can be deduced), Horizon Within Reach 1/9 (Can be deduced), Immortality and Indestructibility 4/9 (Can be deduced)

Points: 182660

Please confirm whether to consume 50000 system points to deduce Immortality and Indestructibility!

Please confirm whether to consume 40000 system points to deduce Horizon Within Reach.

Please confirm whether to consume 110000 system points to deduce Burning Heaven Saber Art.

That blessed land treasure, Black Spirit Wood, actually provided him with 150,000 system points.

This massive number of system points was fully five times more than a top-grade treasure of heaven and earth.

"Almost there, the system points are already enough to deduce the Burning Heaven Saber Art to the fifth level."

Lu Xuan murmured softly, his gaze falling on the Wind Fire Saber in the distance.

Immediately, Lu Xuan reached out and made a grasping motion, his divine sense wrapped around it like invisible threads.

The Wind Fire Saber immediately let out a soft hum, then turned into a stream of light and flew towards Lu Xuan, landing steadily in his right palm.

"And this Wind Fire Saber also needs to be refined."

Now that Lu Xuan had the Seven-Mark Moon Tier Netherflame Dark Saber, this Two-Mark Star Tier Wind Fire Saber seemed a bit redundant.

Therefore, Lu Xuan planned to refine the Wind Fire Saber into system points as well.

Last time, Lu Xuan obtained 15,000 system points after refining the Two-Mark Star Tier Earth Dawn Staff he obtained from the An King's Mansion.

Now, refining this Wind Fire Saber, Lu Xuan estimated that it would be about 15,000 system points as well.

Lu Xuan shifted his gaze away from the Wind Fire Saber and slowly cast it into the distance.

There, an ancient bronze cane was quietly lying on the ground, its surface covered with mottled patterns, full of traces of time.

"It's just a pity, if this thing could be refined."

"Perhaps it could bring no small surprise."

Lu Xuan muttered softly, a trace of regret and contemplation flashing in his eyes.

This bronze cane was what he obtained from the Wu family person before.

This sacrificial artifact, although seemingly ordinary, Lu Xuan could determine from the power used by the Wu family person.

It must contain a heaven and earth origin power that is much stronger than the Wind Fire Saber.

Forget it, he will settle accounts with that Wu family person later when he has the opportunity.

Hmm, and there is also the so-called An King Xia Mingqing, Lu Xuan has to find an opportunity to secretly get rid of him.

Lu Xuan doesn't like being remembered by others all the time, even if he is a member of the Great Xia royal family, that won't do.

At this time, the system panel's prompt sounded clearly in Lu Xuan's mind: "Detected the power of heaven and earth origin, whether to extract!"

"Extract!"

Lu Xuan made a decision without hesitation, then closed his eyes again, concentrating all his attention on the system panel.

At the same time, the Wind Fire Saber, which Lu Xuan was merely holding in his hand, began to undergo drastic changes.

The patterns on the surface of the Wind Fire Saber gradually blurred, as if erased by an invisible force.

In just a few breaths, the Wind Fire Saber completely degenerated from a Two-Mark Star Tier weapon into ordinary iron, with no more mystery.

And on Lu Xuan's system panel, the 182660 system points immediately turned into 197660 system points.

Very good!

Lu Xuan glanced at the Burning Heaven Saber Art and Horizon Within Reach, and without hesitation, he let out a low shout, with a hint of anticipation and determination in his voice.

"Deduce!"

Next, it was time to break through to the Divine Mansion Great Accomplishment realm.

Nascent Soul True Person!

…………

During the time that Lu Xuan was in closed-door cultivation, the entire Heavenly Capital and the various prefectural cities of the Great Xia Dynasty were horrified by a sudden decree.

This decree came directly from the highest ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty—Empress Xia Mingyue!

"By order of Her Majesty, announce to the world!"

With the delivery of the Empress's decree, the various prefectural branches of the Blackbird Guard of the Xuan Bird Guard began to boil.

Because from this day on, the Blackbird Guard of the Great Xia Dynasty will specially establish a fourth Deputy Commander.

And this newly appointed Deputy Commander is Lu Xuan!

Not only that, the Empress also bestowed upon that Lu Xuan a Violet Zenith Blackbird Robe, symbolizing supreme status.

The Violet Zenith Blackbird Robe is the highest-level clothing in the Blackbird Guard, without exception.

Only the Commander of the Blackbird Guard is qualified to wear it!

It not only symbolizes status, but also represents the Empress's trust and importance.

Therefore, Lu Xuan's name also spread overnight among every force in the Great Xia Heavenly Capital.

"Lu Xuan? Who is this newly appointed Deputy Commander? He can actually make the Empress personally issue a decree and bestow the Violet Zenith Blackbird Robe!"

"I heard that he is young, but he is already a Divine Mansion realm expert, and he also made great contributions in the Nanyu Dark State turmoil, deeply appreciated by Her Majesty!"

"Not only that, it is said that he also defeated a Nascent Soul power of the Divine Mansion Great Accomplishment realm with his own power, his strength is simply unfathomable!"

In the Heavenly Capital Blackbird Guard headquarters, almost all of the Earth-level Blackbird Guards have a general understanding of the situation of this newly appointed Deputy Commander Lu Xuan.

Of course, as for why these messages about Lu Xuan were leaked out?

That is naturally the information specially released by Mu Yun and Li Chengxing.

After all, Lu Xuan taking office as the Deputy Commander of the Blackbird Guard naturally requires some things that can establish authority.

At the same time, the major forces distributed in various places in the Heavenly Capital, like the Blackbird Guard internally, were also filled with shock and curiosity.

In a magnificent mansion, in a strict and secret hall, several old men wearing luxurious clothes gathered together, with different expressions.

On the table in front of these old men, there was a thin piece of white paper, which was filled with words, all about Lu Xuan's information.

This was the news sent back by their spies planted in the Blackbird Guard.

After these people read the information above, their hearts were full of ups and downs.

“Lu Xuan... this person is indeed not simple.” A middle-aged man in luxurious black robes said in a low voice, a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes.

“It seems that the matter we decided on will probably have to be changed.”

Another white-haired elder stroked his beard and sighed, his tone filled with deep emotion.

“That one personally issued an imperial decree, bestowing the Purple Zenith Mystic Bird Robe. This is an unprecedented honor.”

“Indeed, we need to change our plans.”

“Where did that old fellow Wu Jiu go?”

Just as the group was about to stand up and send someone to find Wu Jiu,

the door of the main hall was suddenly pushed open with great force.

The heavy wooden door slammed against the wall, making a dull sound that shook the entire hall.

An old man in a purple robe strode in, his face filled with anger.

He was none other than Wu Jiu, the Wu family member who had escaped from Lu Xuan's hands!

Wu Jiu's face was ashen, and his eyes flashed with angry light.

Clearly, he had already learned of Lu Xuan's promotion to Deputy Chief and the bestowal of the Purple Zenith Mystic Bird Robe.

Good kid!

He underestimated Lu Xuan, this little devil.

He didn't expect that a Divine Abode Realm martial artist who had recently broken through would be valued by that one.

If that's the case, his plan to rely on the Wu family's ancestors to take revenge would fall through.

Wu Jiu sighed softly, a trace of helplessness and resentment flashing in his eyes.
