Chapter 73: Chapter 73: True Qi for Repairing the Heavens

Beichen County Town, at night.

Lu Xuanji was meditating, and as he operated the “Cyan Lotus Creation Technique,” strands of Spiritual Qi quickly entered his body, rapidly refining.

This speed was more than ten times faster than during the Qi Cultivation Stage.

But soon, he frowned.

Because the Spiritual Qi outside was thin, making cultivation too slow.

“I still need Spirit Stones!”

Lu Xuanji took out a Spirit Stone, ready to cultivate.

Just then, a knocking sound came, “Brother, I can’t sleep!”

Lu Xuanji put away the Spirit Stone, opened the door, and there was Ye Feixue.

Ye Feixue leaned into his embrace and, smelling the scent, said, “Brother, I can’t sleep!”

Lu Xuanji reassured, “What happened?”

“Brother, I don’t know why, but my heart is uneasy, sitting and lying restlessly. During meditation, I’ve fallen into deviation several times!” Ye Feixue said, feeling strange as she spoke.

“Restless, uneasy mind… Could it be that something big is going to happen, and the spirit is alerting us!”

Lu Xuanji was slightly uneasy.

In the previous life, animals would run around before an earthquake because they are sensitive to danger; on the contrary, humans are dull and cannot feel any anomaly.

In the Cultivation Realm, some cultivators feel uneasy before crises.

This unease is called ominous foreboding.

“Could it be that demon cultivators will attack Beichen County tonight!” Lu Xuanji pondered, the unease in his heart growing.

Recalling the scene from earlier that day, encountering demon cultivators in that small town.

Most demon cultivators would quickly retreat after massacring a town to avoid being besieged and killed by Orthodox Cultivators. But that demon cultivator didn’t flee and instead set up a Thousand Corpses Array right there, intending to trap and kill him… This was not normal.

The only explanation was that this demon cultivator had some reliance.

Many demon cultivators were gathering from all directions, aiming to converge near Beichen County.

The town massacre incident was not isolated but a part of a collective action.

“Something bad might be happening!”

Lu Xuanji took out a Flying Sword, leaving a message on it.

Swish, swish!

The Flying Sword, with wings, headed toward Changyuan Mountain.

It was less than five hundred miles from here to Changyuan Mountain.

The Flying Sword Transmission only needed ten minutes to deliver the message to Changyuan Mountain.

The Flying Sword disappeared into the distance.

But the unease in Lu Xuanji’s heart did not decrease but increased instead.

There was a possibility that the Flying Sword Transmission could be intercepted halfway.

“If there’s a war here, the Grand Elder will come to aid us!” Ye Feixue comforted.

“Precisely because the Grand Elder will rescue us, I am not relieved!” Lu Xuanji said, “The enemy is in the open while we are in the dark. If the enemy ambushes the Grand Elder halfway, the Grand Elder would be in danger!”

Feeling uneasy, Lu Xuanji left this place and went directly to a remote corner in the west of the city.

It was a courtyard, but it was completely deserted, looking extremely desolate.

Arriving at this courtyard, Lu Xuanji went to the back garden, activated the Seal Technique, and immediately the ground trembled slightly, revealing a Dao Platform.

“There’s a Dao Platform here too. Could it be designed by the Grand Elder?”

Ye Feixue asked curiously.

Lu Xuanji replied, “In Beichen County, there are two Dao Platforms, one overt and one covert. The overt Dao Platform is in the County Government Office, guarded by a Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation cultivator from the Lu Family, capable of controlling the Grand Array of the entire county town to resist enemies; and this is the covert Dao Platform, capable of triggering the Annihilation Array!”

“Only the Clan Leader and the Grand Elder know. This Annihilation Array should never be used!”

Saying that, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

The clan’s trump card, it is best to never use.

It’s better for the trump card to expire than to use it.

Because using it represents the clan is in dire straits.

Even if using the trump card, it may not guarantee victory.

Standing beside the Dao Platform, Lu Xuanji sorted through techniques and organized the Spirit Treasures on himself, suddenly remembering his phone, especially that feature called [Baidu Map].

He opened his phone, unlocked the screen, and opened [Baidu Map].

Suddenly, in his Sea of Consciousness, a map appeared, revealing a complex terrain and a vast continent.

Lu Xuanji concentrated, the map shrinking.

Revealing the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Chu Country, Yue Country, Endless Forest, and so on.

Then, zooming in again.

Qingshui Commandery, Beichen County.

The county town appeared, each alley, each house, each well, each shop, all clearly visible.

There were also some small dots flashing on it.

White dots represented mortals.

Yellow dots represented Qi Cultivation Cultivators.

Blue dots represented Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Within the county town, there were many white dots, mostly mortals; there were also seven or eight yellow dots, these were Lu Family’s cultivators, as well as some loose cultivators; and four blue dots represented Foundation Establishment cultivators.

“No, there’s a problem!”

Lu Xuanji sensed the positions of the four blue dots, two of which were him and Ye Feixue.

The other two blue dots were near the City Lord’s Mansion.

Expanding the map scope again, within a hundred-mile range of the county, dense blue dots were visible, about twenty, one of which was faintly outlined in red, appearing standout.

“Two Foundation Establishment demon cultivators are lurking inside the county, and twenty Foundation Establishment demon cultivators are outside the county, including one half-step Purple Mansion demon cultivator… The trouble is big!”

Despair flickered in Lu Xuanji’s eyes.

Twenty-two Foundation Establishment demon cultivators, plus one half-step demon cultivator, they overestimated him.

Even if the Grand Elder came out of seclusion, the odds of success were slim.

“Little Xue, the situation is precarious!”

Lu Xuanji said.

Without hiding anything, he directly revealed the current perilous situation.

“Brother, let’s retreat! Leave this place, don’t force yourself to hold on!” Ye Feixue also turned pale: “Over twenty demon cultivators moving together, this is the pace to annihilate our Lu Family. Retreating is the only safe strategy.”

“It’s too late!” Lu Xuanji sighed, “If we could run, I would definitely run, but now the outskirts are already sealed by demon cultivators, escaping is no longer possible!”

Through Baidu Map’s detection, the enemy had sealed off some key routes, cutting off escape possibilities.

“Then let’s fight, kill one, break even, kill two, make a profit!”

Ye Feixue said.

Though fearful of death, she was not lacking the heart to fight.

“Then let’s battle!” Lu Xuanji said, “Instead of passive defense, let’s take the initiative! Let’s first eliminate two demon cultivators, then kill the others!”

With Baidu Map, he knew the enemy’s details and positions.

But those demon cultivators did not know their details.

This was a huge advantage.

“Oh, and this is for you!”

Suddenly remembering something, Lu Xuanji produced the Heaven Mending Cauldron, opening the lid, and immediately a gray gas flowed into Ye Feixue’s Dantian.

The Dantian is the body’s vital point, not lightly touched by others.

But Ye Feixue did not mind, allowing the gray air to enter her Dantian.

The gray gas began in the Dantian, traveling through the meridians all over the body, Ye Feixue did not mind, but suddenly she was startled.

As the gray gas dissipated, hidden injuries within the body faded, subtle changes occurred in the body, True Qi flowed more smoothly through the meridians, operating more freely.

“What is this, that can repair hidden injuries within the body?”

Ye Feixue asked.

“I only discovered it this morning,” Lu Xuanji replied, hiding no truth and revealing directly: “This morning, I put a zombie into the Heaven Mending Cauldron and burned it with Celestial Fire. After the Great Cauldron refinement, it turned into a gray gas, seemingly capable of healing. Throw in some demon beast corpses, and they also turned into gray gas. This gray gas can be called Heaven Mending True Qi!”

“Congratulations brother, for obtaining this treasure! With this treasure, Purple Mansion is within reach!”

Ye Feixue said, sincerely happy for Lu Xuanji.

The Heaven Mending Cauldron is only a First Grade Spiritual Artifact.

But it has two incredible auxiliary features: enhancing True Qi purity, elevating True Qi, and producing Heaven Mending True Qi to repair hidden injuries.

This is of great significance for cultivators aspiring to reach the Purple Mansion.

“Receive this Heaven Mending True Qi within yourself!” Lu Xuanji said, channelling half of the Heaven Mending True Qi into Ye Feixue’s Dantian, “With Heaven Mending True Qi’s presence, it can heal your injuries; as long as it’s not a fatal hit, you can survive!”

Ye Feixue nodded, not refusing.

She had already regarded Lu Xuanji as her Dao Companion.

Taking things from her Dao Companion felt justified.

She directly suppressed the Heaven Mending True Qi in her Dantian, prepared to use it in battle.
