Chapter 15

Although Lin Xinyi was somewhat reluctant to leave and seemed very interested in Lu Xuan, she did not linger any longer. Just before getting into the car, she couldn't help but give Lu Xuan one more look. In short, after this martial arts duel, Lu Xuan had left a not-so-shallow impression on Lin Xinyi.

The two women got into the car one after another, and the city lord's carriage started moving again, driving away. The martial arts arena lost a beautiful sight.

The many onlookers also reluctantly turned their gazes away from the carriage. They were not unfamiliar with Xia Chenxi and Lin Xinyi, so even if they harbored admiration, they could only keep it buried in their hearts. The city lord's residence and the Lin family were far beyond their reach.

On the stage, under Lu Xuan's strong threat, the servants did not dare to hide anything and obediently handed over all their possessions.

"Hey, Brother Xuan, we managed to gather 226 taels of gold. I didn't expect these servants to have some goods on them," Yao Lei said with a bright smile, holding the money. This amount was not a small sum for him.

Although the bet between Lu Xuan and Long Yang was only 200 taels of gold, since Long Yang went back on his word, it was already very lenient of Lu Xuan not to kill him. The extra 26 taels of gold naturally would not be returned.

Successfully obtaining enough money, Lu Xuan couldn't help but show a hint of relief on his face. He said to Yao Lei, "Put the money away. Let's go back to the Treasure Pavilion."

Hearing this, Yao Lei immediately put on a pained face and said, "Brother Xuan, are you really going to buy that blank scroll and the blood of the Fierce Wolf? I think you should use this money to buy medicinal pills instead. Buy a few Xuan Yuan Pills and Bone Washing Pills. I believe you can definitely make a breakthrough. This is much more reliable than buying enchantment materials!"

As he spoke, Yao Lei sighed and lightly slapped his mouth. "Damn, it's all my fault for being a smart mouth. Talking about enchanters, where are they so easy to become? If it were easy, everyone would become enchanters, who would still practice martial arts!"

Listening to Yao Lei's constant chatter, Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile. He knew that Yao Lei was genuinely concerned for him, so he said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything without being sure."

Yao Lei was speechless and was about to argue, but then he remembered that before the duel with Long Yang, Lu Xuan had said the same thing. He didn't know how to respond. Who would have thought that Lu Xuan could win so decisively? Perhaps Brother Xuan really could become an enchanter.

Yao Lei didn't know if he was comforting himself or if he really believed Lu Xuan's words.

The two of them got off the stage and headed straight for the Treasure Pavilion. On the stage, seeing Lu Xuan walk away, the Long family's servants finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly carried Long Yang away.

Before long, Lu Xuan and Yao Lei returned to the Treasure Pavilion. However, in front of the Treasure Pavilion, there was a very luxurious carriage, and a group of guards were standing by its side.

"Hey, isn't that the carriage from the city lord's residence?" Yao Lei said in surprise.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but look a few times. Indeed, it was the same carriage he had seen at the martial arts arena. He didn't expect such a coincidence. So, those two beautiful women should be in the Treasure Pavilion?

Thinking of this, the images of Xia Chenxi and Lin Xinyi flashed through Lu Xuan's mind, but he quickly shook his head and dismissed their images. He knew that, for now, he and Xia Chenxi were on completely different levels.

"Forget it, let's go in," Lu Xuan said, leading the way into the Treasure Pavilion.

Stepping into the Treasure Pavilion, Lu Xuan scanned the surroundings but didn't see Xia Chenxi and Lin Xinyi. He was a bit puzzled but then understood. Given their status, they would naturally have a dedicated reception.

Inside the Treasure Pavilion, the old shopkeeper was still sitting at the counter, eyes closed, resting. The incident with Lu Xuan and Long Yang was already out of his mind. To him, it was just a small episode.

Sensing someone enter, the old shopkeeper slowly opened his eyes. When he saw that the person was Lu Xuan, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he involuntarily stood up.

"It's you?"

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Elder. Please help me get the Fierce Wolf blood and the blank scrolls. I need to purchase them," Lu Xuan said with a smile.

After Lu Xuan spoke, the old shopkeeper didn't move but asked, "You... actually won?"

Clearly, he hadn't expected Lu Xuan to win. Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped Lu Xuan out of the situation. But he never thought that Lu Xuan would appear here so soon, and from his appearance, he didn't look like someone who had just gone through a life-and-death battle.

However, since Lu Xuan said he wanted to buy materials, it meant he had the money. The only explanation was that Lu Xuan had won, and it seemed he had won easily.

"Of course, a mere Fourth Stage Body Tempering Long Yang is no match for Brother Xuan. One bamboo pole, and that guy was knocked out," Yao Lei interjected, as if he had won instead of Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan also nodded, lightly acknowledging the old shopkeeper's words.

"Good, good," the old shopkeeper's eyes showed a hint of appreciation. If helping Lu Xuan before was just a casual act, now Lu Xuan was truly worthy of his attention.

He didn't ask about the specifics of the battle. Every martial artist had their secrets and trump cards. But no matter what, the fact that Lu Xuan, with Third Stage Body Tempering, had defeated a Fourth Stage Body Tempering Long Yang was enough.

"Blank scrolls, the price has already been discussed. Which type do you want? How much Fierce Wolf blood?" the old shopkeeper asked calmly.

After a brief moment of thought, Lu Xuan said, "Ten low-grade blank scrolls and one high-grade blank scroll. One bottle of Fierce Wolf blood."

A high-grade blank scroll cost ten taels of gold each, and Lu Xuan couldn't afford to buy many. However, for safety, he chose to buy one. After all, the success rate of using a high-grade blank scroll was much higher than that of a low-grade one.

The old shopkeeper nodded slightly and then turned to fetch the items.

Before long, eleven blank scrolls and a bottle of Fierce Wolf blood were placed in front of Lu Xuan.

One of the blank scrolls was placed separately. Whether in appearance or in the fluctuation of yuan energy, it was far superior to the others. Clearly, this was the high-grade blank scroll worth ten taels of gold.

The Fierce Wolf blood was stored in a specially made jade bottle to maintain its efficacy. The bottle itself was worth ten taels of gold.

"Hey, it's you? Are you an enchanter too?" At that moment, a gentle voice suddenly came from the side.

The voice made Lu Xuan, Yao Lei, and the old shopkeeper turn their heads. On the stairs, two beautiful women were holding hands and walking over. They were Xia Chenxi and Lin Xinyi!

Xia Chenxi's slightly curious gaze fell on Lu Xuan and the enchantment materials on the table, while Lin Xinyi looked directly at Lu Xuan, showing some surprise. She didn't expect to meet him here by such a coincidence.
