The middle-aged man was dressed in a simple white robe, with the sleeve of his left arm hanging empty and limp against his side, evidently his left arm had been broken off.
The man's name was Wang Fu, a martial artist who had just entered the Bone Refining Realm, and he had come to the Lu Family only a few years ago.
At that time, he was gravely injured, his left arm broken, and was brought back to health by Lu Xuan's father, Lu Jiahe.
In the end, to repay Lu Jiahe's life-saving grace.
He has lived with the Lu Family ever since, handling the pharmacy warehouse's affairs for Lu Jiahe, while also taking charge of the warehouse's security.
Even though he had lost his left arm, severely diminishing his Bone Refining Realm strength, dealing with martial artists below the Bone Refining Realm was still effortless for him.
"Uncle Fu."
Lu Xuan responded politely and then continued, "Uncle Fu, just like last time."
"And bring me another Red Essence Mushroom."
"Red Essence Mushroom?"
"Young Master, you?"
Upon hearing Lu Xuan's words, Uncle Fu looked at Lu Xuan somewhat shocked, as if Lu Xuan's words had surprised him greatly.
It's known that Red Essence Mushroom is an extremely precious supplement, with only two portions in the warehouse.
A common person consuming even a small piece would result in vigorous yang fire, blood bulging, or severe cases, blood and energy would flow backward, leading to sudden death.
Even martial artists practicing martial arts eating a small piece would find their whole body feverishly unbearable.
Only those who have perfected the Flesh Refining Realm can consume Red Essence Mushroom with no concerns.
Because martial artists above Flesh Refining Realm have polished the blood and flesh within and can withstand the terrifying effects of Red Essence Mushroom.
Could it be that Young Master's martial arts realm has already been cultivated to the Perfect Realm of Refining Flesh?
Gasp!
Such terrifying progress!
Widely knowledgeable Uncle Fu finally broke his calm demeanor at this moment.
It's known that when he first arrived at the Lu Family, Young Master's martial arts realm was only at the Skin Refining Realm.
And now, in such a short period, he has already touched the Bone Refining Realm.
Young Master is merely twenty years old this year!
Could Young Master be the legendary martial arts genius?
Thus, Uncle Fu handed the collected medicinal materials over to Lu Xuan.
Even after Lu Xuan had already left for a while, Uncle Fu's shocked emotions still could not calm down for a long time.
Returning to his courtyard, Lu Xuan casually placed the small wooden box containing the medicinal materials aside.
In Lu Xuan's mind, the system's add-on panel instantly appeared before him.
Host: Lu Xuan
Realm: Blood Refining Realm (Perfect)
Cultivation Technique: Red Flame Saber Skill 1/9 (Can be deduced)
Points: 50
Please confirm if you wish to spend 30 points to deduce the Red Flame Saber Skill!
Confirm!
With everything ready, Lu Xuan had no reservations left, he immediately confirmed with the thought in his mind.
At the moment of Lu Xuan's confirmation, the system panel's 50 points instantly turned into 20 points.
The next moment, a mysterious and profound light and shadow appeared once more in Lu Xuan's mind.
Countless intricate and obscure saber techniques were presenting one by one in his mind.
These profound saber techniques were all being grasped by Lu Xuan, as if he had arduously practiced them since childhood.
Bam!
A light sound in the emptiness came from within Lu Xuan's body.
Lu Xuan only felt that the bottleneck restricting him all this time finally completely disappeared at this moment.
From his powerful flesh body, a terrifying force burst forth, the vigorous momentum swept out.
The courtyard felt as if it was in the midst of a raging storm, the wind roared, creating a sound of stormy waves.
Lu Xuan instantly opened his eyes, deep within his profound and dark pupils, strands of mysterious aura were swirling.
He felt his body enveloped by mysterious auras, Lu Xuan only felt boundless and limitless strength.
Breakthrough!
Is this the Inner Qi Realm?
Lu Xuan had never felt so powerful, his five senses had been incredibly enhanced.
He could clearly perceive the mysterious aura existing between heaven and earth.
And these auras are precisely the mysterious auras currently existing within Lu Xuan's body.
Could this be the vital energy of heaven and earth?
Lu Xuan was somewhat puzzled, he raised his right hand, silently mobilizing those mysterious auras within.
Only to see, the surface of the right hand covered with a layer of thin as a cicada's wing aura, a transparent membrane, virtually invisible to the naked eye, like empty air.
Then, Lu Xuan suddenly exerted force with his right hand, slapping towards the ground.
A loud boom!
The ground hit by Lu Xuan collapsed, instantly forming a huge pit.
Hmm?
Lu Xuan looked at the pit below his feet, silent for a few seconds.
Even though he already knew the terrifying strength of the Inner Qi Realm, he did not expect it to be this strong.
This palm used only a fraction of its force, yet it equaled his previous full-power strike.
It's said that Inner Qi has incredible might, enabling martial artists with Inner Qi to fortify their cultivated martial arts techniques, as well as cover the entire body, unleashing their utmost strength.
So that's it!
Even a gentle palm has such formidable power, imagine applying Inner Qi to the Red Flame Saber Skill, wouldn't it be even more terrifying.
Lu Xuan pondered as he sat at the edge of the pit cross-legged.
However, Lu Xuan immediately abandoned this dangerous thought.
This is certainly not the place for executing the Red Flame Saber Skill, otherwise, losing control might destroy his own lair.
Grumble!
At this moment, a massive hunger struck, Lu Xuan casually picked up the prepared nourishing medicinal material beside him, directly put it into his mouth, and swallowed it down.
Fortunately, he had prepared these nourishing medicinal materials ahead of time.
This breakthrough to the Inner Qi Realm unexpectedly took him the better part of a day, causing extensive depletion of Lu Xuan's inner strength.
As Lu Xuan swallowed all prepared nourishing medicinal materials.
The warmth-filled power brimming within Lu Xuan made him feel extremely comfortable, as his body was frenziedly absorbing the essence of these medicinal materials.
Moreover, due to Lu Xuan's breakthrough to the Inner Qi Realm, the Inner Qi within also accelerated the absorption of the nourishing medicinal materials.
In a matter of moments, Lu Xuan had fully absorbed the medicinal materials within his belly.
Lu Xuan then called up the system panel once more.
Host: Lu Xuan
Realm: Inner Qi Realm
Cultivation Technique: Red Flame Saber Skill 2/9
Points: 22
Seeing the points on the system panel, Lu Xuan displayed a face as if things were going according to his expectations.
For this breakthrough, most necessary medicinal materials have already been consumed by his body.
The residual medicinal effects from the supplemental herbs merely provided him with 2 system points.
A Red Essence Mushroom, a medicinal herb valued at five hundred taels of silver, was consumed just like that.
Not to mention the consumption of other tonic herbs.
A hint of heartache flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes!
Such monumental expenses made Lu Xuan feel as though his heart was bleeding.
Apparently, system points have to be earned by slaying those extraordinary and eerie entities.
Lu Xuan looked toward the distant horizon, pupils deep like an abyss, hiding his thoughts.
For the next three days, Lu Xuan remained in his courtyard, skillfully mastering the mysteries of the Inner Qi Realm.
