Chapter 9

Staying in the room, Lu Xuan, as if possessed, kept drawing, failing, and then recovering his yuan force over and over again.

By this time, outside the window, a cycle of white turning to black and then black turning to white had already been completed.

Lu Xuan had practiced for a full day and night!

Although he hadn't slept for a day and night, Lu Xuan was still full of energy. For him, the cultivation during the recovery of his yuan force was equivalent to resting.

The effect of this day and night of practice was also very significant. Lu Xuan had already grasped the output of yuan force during the drawing process to a great extent. As long as he had a little more time, he would surely succeed!

After recovering his yuan force once again, Lu Xuan began a new round of drawing, focusing his mind on his fingertips, and a thread of yuan force quietly appeared.

His fingertips moved flexibly, like flowing clouds and running water, looking very beautiful. After so much practice, Lu Xuan had already memorized the runes of the狂暴符 (Raging Symbol) thoroughly.

During this process, threads of yuan force quietly flowed out, leaving behind a series of crystal-clear lines in the air, without any leakage!

Lu Xuan's fingertips moved faster and faster, and a complex rune gradually condensed in the air. As Lu Xuan completed the final stroke, the entire rune suddenly flashed, emitting a ray of light!

Success!

"Ha ha ha! Finally succeeded!" Seeing the complete rune appear, Lu Xuan couldn't help but burst out laughing!

A day and night of effort had finally paid off!

Shortly after, there were knocks on the door, and Yao Lei's voice came through: "Brother Xuan, what's wrong? Is everything okay?"

Yesterday, Lu Xuan suddenly left and locked himself in the room, which made Yao Lei quite worried. However, Lu Xuan had instructed him not to disturb him, so Yao Lei didn't dare to intrude. Hearing Lu Xuan's movements, he couldn't help but knock on the door.

The rune in the air, having lost the support of yuan force, gradually faded and disappeared.

Hearing Yao Lei's concerned voice, Lu Xuan took a big step forward and opened the door.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Lu Xuan still had a smile on his face, then patted Yao Lei's shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go to the Spirit Material Street again today. I need to buy something."

Although Yao Lei didn't know what Lu Xuan was going to buy on Spirit Material Street, seeing his radiant face, he didn't seem to have any problems, so he didn't say much. The two of them headed to Spirit Material Street one after the other.

Since he could now successfully draw the Raging Symbol, Lu Xuan naturally wanted to quickly make it into an enchanted scroll. There were only three days left until the Wind Sword Sect's assessment. Within these three days, Lu Xuan not only had to make the enchanted scroll but also sell it to get enough money to buy the pills to break through to the fourth level of Body Tempering!

The two of them arrived at the shop they had visited yesterday on Spirit Material Street, which was called Treasure Pavilion. It was one of the largest shops on the street, and the items it sold were quite comprehensive. It should have the materials Lu Xuan needed.

Seeing Lu Xuan and his companion enter, an old man sitting behind the counter looked up at them and then paid no more attention.

He remembered the two of them; they had come yesterday. From their appearance, they didn't seem to have much money, so they were probably just there to look around and broaden their horizons.

However, as a large shop, Treasure Pavilion naturally had the grace to treat all customers equally, regardless of their status. Even if they didn't buy anything, they could still browse freely.

But this time, Lu Xuan directly approached the old shopkeeper.

"Old shopkeeper, do you sell enchanting materials?" Lu Xuan asked straightforwardly.

Hearing Lu Xuan's words, the old shopkeeper was slightly surprised. Could he have misjudged this young man? He was actually an enchanter?

Although he was surprised, he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and said, "Of course. Our shop is called Treasure Pavilion, and we can find anything that exists in Lincheng."

A hint of joy flashed across Lu Xuan's face. It seemed he didn't need to look elsewhere. "How much do a blank scroll and the blood of a Raging Wolf cost?"

A blank scroll is used to carry the enchanting rune, and the blood of a Raging Wolf is used to draw the Raging Symbol. Lu Xuan didn't know why, but in his memory, drawing runes only required pure beast blood, not the specially prepared liquid that Yao Lei mentioned.

"Blank scrolls come in three grades. A low-grade blank scroll costs one gold piece, a mid-grade blank scroll costs five gold pieces, and a high-grade one costs ten gold pieces. Which one do you need, sir?"

Hearing the prices quoted by the old shopkeeper, Lu Xuan's mouth opened wide. The prices were too exaggerated! With his current wealth, he couldn't even afford a mid-grade blank scroll. If blank scrolls were so expensive, the main material, the blood of a Raging Wolf, would surely be even more expensive.

With a glimmer of hope, Lu Xuan cautiously asked, "How much does a bottle of Raging Wolf blood cost?"

"Hmm, Raging Wolf blood is a low-grade enchanting material, not too expensive. It costs one hundred gold coins per bottle, and one bottle can be used about eight to ten times."

Upon receiving the answer, Lu Xuan was completely discouraged. He didn't expect that even some enchanting materials would be so expensive!

Without starting capital, even if he had the enchanting skill, it was useless.

Just as Lu Xuan was frowning in thought, a loud voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Lu Xuan! You actually dare to come back!"

This voice instantly drew the attention of Lu Xuan and the others. A group of people rushed over, and the leader, with a face full of anger, could only be Long Yang.

The old shopkeeper frowned slightly, tapped the counter lightly, and said calmly, "Fighting and loud noises are prohibited in this shop. If anyone violates this rule, they will bear the consequences."

Warned by the old shopkeeper, Long Yang immediately came to his senses. Spirit Material Street strictly prohibited fighting, let alone in a powerful shop like Treasure Pavilion. He had been so angry at seeing Lu Xuan that he had forgotten this rule.

Although Long Yang was arrogant in Greenhill Town, in Lincheng, he had to be more cautious.

He first apologized to the old shopkeeper and then turned to Lu Xuan, his face dark, and said, "Tell me the truth. Did you do something to Old Two and Old Three?"

At first, Long Yang had only planned to teach Lu Xuan a lesson. But after mentioning it to Long Tai, Long Tai casually said that even if Lu Xuan was crippled, it wouldn't matter.

With Long Tai's support, Long Yang's courage grew, and the next day, he sent people to cripple Lu Xuan's dantian.

However, after sending Old Two and Old Three to deal with Lu Xuan, they didn't return for a long time. A day later, when he sent people to check, he found that they had been dead for a long time. The most likely culprit was Lu Xuan, especially since Lu Xuan was now alive and well in Lincheng.

So, upon suddenly encountering Lu Xuan, Long Yang immediately came to confront him.

However, if Lu Xuan had once been wary of Long Yang, after obtaining the sword crystal, he no longer feared him, which was why he had returned to Lincheng.

Glancing at Long Yang, Lu Xuan said coolly, "Old Two and Old Three? What kind of dogs are they? Ha, your servants, who bully people everywhere, might have offended some powerful person who eliminated them. What's so strange about that?"

Lu Xuan's words infuriated Long Yang's servants. By calling Old Two and Old Three "dogs," he was also calling them "dogs." Although they were servants, as Long Family servants, they considered themselves superior and looked down on Lu Xuan, a so-called young master from a fallen small family.

Moreover, Lu Xuan had been beaten to near death by them not long ago. Now, he was actually being arrogant in front of them. How could they not be angry? If it weren't for the prohibition on fighting on Spirit Material Street, they would have already rushed over.

Seeing Lu Xuan's calm face and his lack of fear, Long Yang became even more furious. He smiled coldly, opened his folding fan, and waved it slightly, saying, "Very well, it seems the lesson I gave you last time wasn't enough, or perhaps I was too lenient!"

In the end, Long Yang just wanted to cause trouble for Lu Xuan. Although Old Two and Old Three were dead, he wasn't really that concerned. Besides, he didn't really believe that Lu Xuan was the killer. Old Two was at the fourth level of Body Tempering, and he didn't think Lu Xuan could defeat such a powerful opponent.

Moreover, he had examined Old Two's body, which had been killed with a single strike, his heart pierced by a sword. Lu Xuan didn't even have a sword, so how could he have killed Old Two with one strike?

After saying this, Long Yang shifted his gaze to Yao Lei and said coldly, "Yao Lei, by associating with Lu Xuan, are you also opposing me? Or does your family no longer want to stay in Greenhill Town?"

Faced with Long Yang's threat, Yao Lei was still somewhat afraid. The Long Family in Greenhill Town was all-powerful, and all the families, big and small, were under their control. If it were just him, Yao Lei might have taken the risk, but he didn't want to involve his father.

"Long Yang, threatening Lei is not a skill. If you have the guts, come after me!" Lu Xuan's voice rang out again.

Seeing Long Yang threaten Yao Lei, Lu Xuan immediately spoke up to help Yao Lei, knowing his concerns. After all, the Long Family had been powerful in Greenhill Town for a long time, and no one dared to provoke them.

The old shopkeeper, stroking his beard, looked at Lu Xuan approvingly. At such a time, to help a friend and take the burden himself, this young man had a good character. With his years of experience, he could easily see the relationship and conflict between Lu Xuan and the others.

Seeing that Lu Xuan dared to stand up for Yao Lei, Long Yang smiled coldly, "Brave! Just you, daring to stand up for others? Do you think I won't dare to kill you?"
