Chapter 85

Everyone was completely surprised that a small piece of iron could solve a problem that had plagued the army for so many years, and they couldn't help but admire Xiaoran even more!

A simple, untechnical object could have such a significant effect, which no one could have imagined!

The welcoming banquet went well, with everyone enjoying themselves!

As night fell.

In the cozy nest, Lu Miaozhi was drinking his six-fruit brew, reminiscing about his glorious yet bitter past!

Suddenly, he felt a stir in his heart, turned his head, and saw a young man float in through the window and sit opposite him!

This gave him quite a shock. Even if he was lost in his memories and focused on fighting the Heavenly Demon Qi within his body, even Ning Daoqi might not have been able to approach him so silently and only be detected when within ten feet!

Xiaoran looked at Lu Miaozhi. The old man had a slightly mixed-race appearance and must have been a great handsome man in his youth.

He clasped his hands and said to Lu Miaozhi, "The long night is sleepless, and I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be the same!"

Lu Miaozhi, who had seen many storms, smiled after the initial shock, "Young friend, you are indeed a remarkable person!

Your profound skills, I wonder who your master is!"

Xiaoran replied, "This... I guess you could say I'm self-taught!

I heard that Mr. Lu was once injured by Zhu Yuyan. Although I am not talented, I am willing to try to see if I can dispel the Heavenly Demon Qi in Mr. Lu's body!"

Lu Miaozhi's lifeless eyes suddenly lit up, then dimmed again, "Zhu Yuyan's Great Heavenly Demon Technique is the pinnacle of evil. The Heavenly Demon Qi has been entangled with me for a long time, deeply rooted in my organs. Even Ning Daoqi might not be able to remove it!"

Xiaoran took the wine bottle on the table, took a sip, and although he wasn't a big drinker, he wanted to try this famous six-fruit brew. The taste was indeed excellent, following the path of fruit wine, but the various fruit aromas were distinct and well-coordinated, with a long-lasting aftertaste!

"Indeed, it's good wine!" Xiaoran put down the wine bottle and smiled, "Although the Heavenly Demon Qi is troublesome, I am not Ning Daoqi, nor Zhu Yuyan!"

Hearing Xiaoran's bold words, if it were at another time, Lu Miaozhi would have laughed at the young man's ignorance of the world, but Xiaoran's previous display of skills made him somewhat believe!

He sighed, "It's worth a try!"

Xiaoran extended his hand and placed it on Lu Miaozhi's hand, sending a weak true qi into his body to search for the Heavenly Demon Qi!

Although Xiaoran's Phoenix-Breaking Eye had recovered, it had not yet connected the spirit meridians, so he could only roughly see the flow of true qi in others' bodies, not as clearly as when he faced Feng Xi!

In just a moment, Xiaoran found the Heavenly Demon Qi, which had already intertwined with Lu Miaozhi's organs!

The Heavenly Demon Qi had a spiritual nature similar to a living being. It usually lay dormant in Lu Miaozhi's body, feeding on his essence, and if his defenses were slightly lax, it would take the opportunity to cause chaos!

This characteristic of having spiritual qi was the first time Xiaoran encountered the true qi produced by the world's top cultivation techniques, and he was somewhat surprised!

This confirmed his previous speculation, that this true qi had the characteristics of spiritual qi!

But this kind of true qi was only a pseudo-spiritual qi!

Actually, the early development of martial arts in this world was quite advanced, but because there were no fierce beasts, gods, or spirit acupoints, they did not develop the techniques to condense acupoints, and thus could not convert true qi into spiritual qi, making it difficult for martial arts to develop further!

In the end, with no path forward, they could only focus on mental cultivation.

This was somewhat similar to the human race on the Ancient Continent before they invented the technique to condense acupoints!

But one had a clear direction and knew where to develop, so they developed more advanced martial arts.

The other, without a clear path forward, could only intensify mental cultivation!

In the end, although they found their own path, it was like walking with one foot, very difficult and confusing.

It was truly a pity!

...

Human meridians connect to the internal organs, but there are even finer meridians that connect to the entire body. If the eight extraordinary meridians are seen as blood vessels, these fine meridians can be seen as capillaries, through which true qi can reach every part of the body!

Therefore, true qi can be infused into any part of the body!

But ordinary martial artists find it difficult to finely control the flow of true qi in these fine meridians, while martial artists from the Ancient Continent can do so, making their control of true qi much more precise than in the martial arts world!

Xiaoran used this fine control to shield Lu Miaozhi's own true qi defense, inducing the Heavenly Demon Qi to move!

Because the true qi in the fine meridians was too weak, the Heavenly Demon Qi did not sense it and instinctively rushed out to cause chaos, only to be surrounded by Xiaoran's true qi, cutting off its retreat.

Then it was sucked out by Xiaoran's Unfilled Yin-Yang Seal!

Lu Miaozhi suddenly felt a great relief, never expecting that the nightmare that had plagued him for over thirty years would be dispelled by Xiaoran.

Lu Miaozhi laughed heartily, "If it weren't for fear of disturbing the peace and waking Xiuxun, I would really want to let out a long cry!"

Xiaoran took out a few Essence-Cultivating Pills and gave them to Lu Miaozhi, saying, "These pills can solidify the foundation and replenish the essence and blood you have lost over the years."

Lu Miaozhi was greatly surprised, took the pills, and tasted some of the powder, but could not identify the ingredients, making him even more curious about Xiaoran's background, but since Xiaoran didn't say, he didn't ask!

Lu Miaozhi's face was flushed with excitement, "Since you have done so much for me, although I am old, I can still be of some use!

Just tell me what to do!"

Xiaoran didn't hesitate and handed over the seeds he brought from the Ancient Continent to Lu Miaozhi, asking him to find a place to plant them!

He also explained the concepts of steam engines, internal combustion engines, division of labor, and assembly line operations to Lu Miaozhi.

Watt could create a steam engine, and with a clear path, Lu Miaozhi might also be able to do so.

Lu Miaozhi was proficient in various black technologies that Xiaoran didn't understand, capable of creating wonders like the Yang Gong Treasure, making him the most advanced technological talent in this world!

Lu Miaozhi often marveled at Xiaoran's ingenious ideas, as if drinking the finest wine, with endless aftertaste and a sense of longing.

Xiaoran finally said, "I have two younger brothers, both geniuses far surpassing me. I will leave the ranch tomorrow and entrust them to you to see how much they can learn from you."

Lu Miaozhi was taken aback. Although he was happy, he was secretly worried that Xiaoran was plotting to take over the Flying Horse Ranch. With Xiaoran's intelligence and martial arts, Xiuxun would definitely not be able to stop him, but he didn't expect Xiaoran to leave the next day!

He shook his head, "A girl like Xiuxun can't even keep you, just like me, who in my youth only cared about grand ambitions. But at my age, you will understand..."

Xiaoran chuckled, not caring about Lu Miaozhi's sad past, just listening.

The next day, Xiaoran handed over Kou Zhong and the others to Lu Miaozhi and set off alone!

As for Li Jing, Xiaoran left him alone, letting him come and go freely, which made him a bit disappointed!

The Flying Horse Ranch only sought a peaceful existence and was not a place Li Jing aspired to. Seeing Xiaoran leave, he also bid farewell!

But Xiaoran finally said to him, "Brother Li, I greatly admire your talent!

But now I have no people or land, and I don't dare to ask Brother Li to assist me!

Just go out and see if there is a suitable place. If I achieve nothing in the future, that's fine, but if I succeed, I hope Brother Li will help me then!"

After saying this, he parted ways with Li Jing!

Li Jing watched Xiaoran's disappearing figure and finally shook his head, "Truly a remarkable and strange person!

But a man of true character!

If that day comes, I, Li Jing, will definitely come to your aid!"

(The world of martial arts, Xiaoran is finally going to make waves in the world of martial arts, meeting all the heroes and beauties!

Everyone, please give me two votes!)
