The two servants, both at the Qi Gathering stage, placed down their lunch boxes and rushed forward to save the person.
They both realized that this servant was a spy of the cult. If they could capture this spy, they would have accomplished a great feat.
Such a great feat would surely be rewarded handsomely, and they would have the opportunity to obtain resources to break through to the Mystic Realm.
Most of the Chu family's servants were at the Mortal Realm level. Once they broke through to the Mystic Realm, they would become a steward in the Chu family. Whether dispatched to various parts of the Chu Prefecture or staying within the Chu family territory, their status and position would be incomparable to before.
"Kill him, quickly kill him!"
Chu Xuan looked furious.
"A mere servant dares to attack me, kill him!"
The two servants worked together and quickly controlled the cult spy. Chu Xuan took the opportunity to strike, roaring, "Dare to attack me, die!"
"Thirteenth Young Master, we can't kill him!"
The two servants were in a dilemma. This was a spy, and keeping him alive would be more useful. How could they kill him?
This Thirteenth Young Master was indeed a waste of the main line!
However, Chu Xuan had already punched the spy in the throat, and with a crack, the spy's eyes widened, blood gushed from his mouth, and he died shortly after.
The two servants were immediately at a loss!
After killing the spy, Chu Xuan's face turned pale, and he turned around to pretend to vomit!
"Thirteenth Young Master, this is a cult spy. We must report to the Chief Steward."
The two servants didn't know what to say. Thirteenth Young Master was indeed a waste.
Killing a spy, and he couldn't even stand the sight of blood and vomited!
Chu Xuan waved his hand, dismissing the two servants.
The servants carried the spy's body away, and Chu Xuan returned to his recliner, reflecting on his performance. Was he sufficiently useless?
This way, Chu Tianming would be even more annoyed with him, completely marginalizing him, and he would have no chance of returning to the core of the main line, thus losing his value.
Even if the Chu family's thorough investigation still left spies lurking, they wouldn't risk attacking him, a useless main line member with little value.
For the next period, he should be able to live in peace.
"You killed the cult spy who disrupted your seclusion, rewarded with a box of Nourishing Spirit Pills."
The system's voice sounded.
Finally, he triggered the system's random reward again.
Chu Xuan claimed the Nourishing Spirit Pills, a type of pill that nourishes the spirit and willpower. It was effective not only at the Mystic Realm but also at the Spirit Realm, enhancing the spirit and willpower.
The pills produced by the system were truly extraordinary.
Effective within two major realms.
He immediately took out a bottle, poured out a Nourishing Spirit Pill, and swallowed it.
The pill dissolved, and a cool medicinal force surged into his mind. In an instant, Chu Xuan felt his spirit refreshed, and his perception of the world became clearer.
Lying on the recliner, he quietly refined the pill, feeling his willpower perception slowly expanding, and his spirit and willpower strengthening under the nourishment of the pill.
In the main hall of the Chu family's ancestral residence, Chu Tianming was almost furious.
"Waste, waste! What kind of son did Luo give birth to, so useless, disgracing the Chu family!"
In the main hall, the other members of the Chu family remained silent, waiting for Chu Tianming to vent his anger before continuing the discussion.
"Luo has outstanding talent, but how could she give birth to such a useless son? It's all because of that woman. Otherwise, how could my Luo give birth to such a useless son?"
The others continued to remain silent.
His third son, who had outstanding talent, gave birth to such a useless son, all because of Chu Xuan's mother!
Chu Tianming was really about to explode with anger. A cult spy had appeared among the Chu family's servants, and they had already captured him alive, but Chu Xuan killed the spy!
Killing the spy made him angry, but what truly drove him to the brink of madness was that after killing the spy, Chu Xuan couldn't stand the sight of blood and vomited.
He was simply too useless!
How could such a useless person accomplish great things?
This was the reason he was so furious.
At this moment, Chu Tianming was considering whether to keep his precious granddaughter, Chu Yun, away from Chu Xuan.
What if Chu Xuan's uselessness was contagious?
If his granddaughter was infected and became useless, it would be a huge loss!
After scolding for a while, Chu Tianming finally caught his breath and sat down in the main seat. He looked at a young man sitting in the back row of the main hall, and his expression softened.
He was relieved that not all of his grandchildren were like Chu Xuan. There were still outstanding descendants.
For example, his eldest grandson, Chu Qing, was already at the fourth level of the Mystic Realm and was about to break through to the fifth level.
Not only did he have outstanding cultivation talent, but his handling of affairs was also very astute, even surpassing many of the older generation.
This time, involving Chu Qing in the investigation of the spy was to train him.
Chu Tianming was already grooming him as the future heir of the Chu family.
Among his sons, his most favored third son had defied him and annulled the marriage, nearly killing him with anger, and then disappeared, nowhere to be found.
Therefore, Chu Tianming placed the heir in the next generation, selecting and grooming the heir from his grandchildren.
Chu Xuan was depressed.
The expected reward of the Imperial Scripture did not appear.
Perhaps it was because he hadn't secluded himself long enough.
However, he wasn't in a hurry. While taking Nourishing Spirit Pills to strengthen his spirit and willpower, he also took Great Mystic Pills to enhance his spiritual energy.
His strength continued to grow, reaching the peak of the first level of the Mystic Realm.
Ten days.
After secluding himself in the courtyard for ten days, the long-awaited Imperial Scripture finally appeared.
"You have secluded yourself for ten days, rewarded with the Great Law of the Supreme Emperor."
An ancient book appeared, faintly exuding a domineering aura.
Chu Xuan was extremely excited. The Imperial Scripture, a cultivation method that directly pointed to the Imperial Realm.
Half a true scripture could make the Chu family stand as one of the three major families in the Qin Kingdom for thousands of years.
This showed the preciousness and power of the Imperial Scripture.
And this was just the reward for secluding himself for ten days.
If he secluded himself for a month or a year, what level of cultivation method would he be rewarded with?
Chu Xuan opened the Imperial Scripture, and the characters leaped into his eyes.
In his mind, scenes of cultivating the Imperial Scripture appeared one by one.
An hour later, Chu Xuan opened his eyes, put the Imperial Scripture into the system space, and pondered its insights.
Truly worthy of being the Imperial Scripture, far surpassing the top-grade Mystic Scripture of the Chu family.
Chu Xuan took a Great Mystic Pill and began to cultivate the Mystic Realm section of the Great Law of the Supreme Emperor.
Originally at the peak of the first level of the Mystic Realm, his foundation became even more solid with the cultivation of the Great Law of the Supreme Emperor, and his realm slightly regressed.
Although his realm regressed slightly, his strength increased by a full fold.
When he used the Dragon Python Spirit Fist, its power was even greater, and his attacks were more fierce.
A Great Mystic Pill was quickly refined, and the speed of refining the pill was more than three times faster than before cultivating the Imperial Scripture.
After a day, Chu Xuan returned to the peak of the first level of the Mystic Realm, and there were signs of breaking through to the second level of the Mystic Realm.
The Great Mystic Pill was an excellent pill at the Mystic Realm level, with no side effects, and his cultivation progressed rapidly.
Moreover, with the system, Chu Xuan wouldn't have the problem of unstable realms.
He just needed to break through quickly without worrying about his realm becoming unstable.
Chu Xuan was considering a problem. The servant who brought the meal, not being a Mystic Realm martial artist, couldn't sense his realm and strength.
If the Chief Steward or other Mystic Realm martial artists came, his strength would be exposed.
Once his strength was exposed, Chu Tianming would reassess him, even thinking he was a genius and paying more attention to him.
This was not what Chu Xuan wanted.
Therefore, what he needed now was a treasure or cultivation method to conceal his cultivation.
And this could only rely on the system's rewards.
