Chapter 236 Playful Chapter
After writing the inscription for the county annals, Lu Xunhuan bid farewell to the county magistrate and the captain and returned to the inn.
As he passed the counter, the clerk hurried out and grabbed him, asking in a low voice, "Sir, do you know any great writers?"
Lu Xun Huan said angrily, "I told you not to ask, why didn't you obey?"
“It takes fate for people to get to know each other. If there is no fate, you wouldn’t even recognize them if they walked right past you.”
He said something, ignored the guy, and quickly returned to the room.
Noila Mo stood up and asked, “What’s going on?”
Lu Xun Huan sat down at the table: "I'm a little hungry, go buy me some food, I want that place..."
He deliberately mentioned a restaurant that was five hundred steps away.
After Noila Mo went out, he quickly got on the bed and covered himself with the quilt.
Then he took out the golden hoop and untied the cloth.
When the two golden hoops were put together, a dazzling golden light appeared from under the quilt.
Soon after, they merged together.
He quickly breathed in and out, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and entered a state of cultivation.
After some testing, everything turned out to be as expected.
He held the golden hoop in his hand and increased the speed of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Nowadays, the speed of cultivation is at least four times faster with the golden hoop than without it.
While practicing, he read the properties of the golden hoop.
Golden Hoop Attribute 1: Flying Speed, Level 4.
The second attribute of the golden hoop: the speed of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is increased by 400%.
Golden Hoop attribute three: Fire resistance, full.
Golden Hoop Attribute 4: Water Resistance, Full
Golden Hoop Attribute Five: Anti-poison attribute, full.
After reading the attributes, he stopped practicing.
The anti-poison attribute is full. Does that mean I can be immune to all poisons in the future?
After thinking for a moment, he quickly wrapped the cloth again.
Then, he got out of bed and thought about the mantra for practicing Qianyuan Realm.
He believed that Li Susu must have made a mistake.
Either the formula was wrong, or she got one of the meridians wrong.
Otherwise, why is the absorption speed now four times faster, but there is no progress in cultivation?
He thought for a while, and Mo Xiaoqian came back with some food.
"What's our next step?"
Lu Xun Huan said, "If we are in such a hurry, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get any results."
"After I leave, you guys will continue the investigation. Now, let's not talk about the dragon bones anymore. Let's talk about how to retake Tongmu Pass."
Noila Mo asked, “Do you have a strategy?”
Lu Xun Huan ate his food and said, "I do have a strategy, but I need capable helpers. It's too slow for me to do it alone."
Noila Mo said, “Is my strength enough? Can I help you?”
Lu Xun Huan asked, "How many years have you been stuck in the ninth level of the Qin Heart Realm?"
Mo Xiaoqian replied, "It's been five years, and I still haven't been able to break through. I've basically given up on cultivating immortality, so when the helmsman asked me to recruit new members, I agreed."
Lu Xunhuan asked again, "Have you ever been to the Nine-story Demon Tower?"
Mo Xiaoqian asked, "Are you asking me to obtain the inner elixir of the monster beast? But that method has only a one percent success rate."
"I don't think I'm that lucky, so instead of dying in pain, I'd rather live happily."
Lu Xun Huan said, "I have a method that can help you succeed 100%. You just need to hunt down a demon beast's inner core and bring it back."
Noila Mo was surprised: “You actually have such a method?”
Lu Xun Huan said, "Let's not talk about that now. Let's talk about retaking Tongmu Pass first."
Noila Mo lowered her head: “According to your strength, it will be no problem to fly up to the pass and kill them.”
"But I don't have any magic weapon, and I can't fly up, so it's hard for me to help you."
Lu Xun Huan shook his head: "It doesn't matter if you don't have a magic weapon, I can carry you over."
Noila Mo blushed: “Ah, carry me?”
Lu Xun Huan asked, "Yes, if you don't want to carry me on your back, do you still want to hold me in your arms? Come on, are you going?"
Noila Mo quickly said, “I’ll go.”
Lu Xun Huan asked again: "Please tell me clearly, is it 'I will go' or 'I will go'?"
Noila Mo smiled and said, “It’s ‘I’ll go’, oh, ‘I’ll go’…”
"Cuckoo..."
She laughed: "No matter how you say it, it's not right..."
Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Okay, I understand."
He lowered his head to eat. "I'll report to Yan Bei tomorrow morning. If he agrees with my strategy, we'll take action after dark tomorrow."
The next morning, Lu Xunhuan got up, washed up, had breakfast, and left the inn.
He went to tell Yan Bei about his strategy, and as long as Yan Bei thought it was feasible, everyone would make preparations.
But after he left the inn and walked only three hundred steps, he saw a familiar face in the crowd.
He hurried to meet the man.
The man had also seen him, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he walked towards him quickly.
Soon, the two were face to face.
Lu Xunhuan bowed slightly: "Uncle Master."
Li Susu smiled beautifully: "Calling me uncle-master makes me sound very old."
Lu Xun Huan said, "Since we are of the same generation, even if he is younger than me, he is still my uncle."
He quickly pulled her to a secluded corner and whispered, "Uncle Master, is your cultivation formula wrong? I haven't made any progress in my cultivation so far."
Li Susu asked, "Did you find out?"
Lu Xun Huan rolled his eyes: "Nonsense."
Li Susu said, "That's why I came to you."
"When I went back to look for the formula, my master wasn't there. I could only try to understand the method of cultivation written on the wall. It was really difficult."
Lu Xun Huan said, "That must be difficult. Tell me the original formula and I will understand it."
Li Susu said: "Let me tell you what the original formula is used for, and also about the meridians."
"We have to go to Master's retreat to look at the diagram. It's possible that I've got the meridians wrong. If you want to get the correct one, you have to see it with your own eyes."
Lu Xunhuan asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
Li Susu said, "I thought you didn't know how to care for your elders. I just got here and I'm tired and hungry."
Lu Xunhuan quickly pulled her to the restaurant: "Let's go, eat first."
After Li Susu finished her meal, Lu Xunhuan took her back to the inn.
"Now that the army is here, the inns are full. You can just stay with us for a few days."
"Once we recapture Tongmu Pass, it's time for everyone to leave."
Li Susu looked at Noila Mo and asked, “Who is this girl? Did you just marry her?”
Lu Xun Huan looked at Mo Xiao Qian, whose face was flushed, and said, "Master, don't think that living in the same room means they are necessarily husband and wife. She is my subordinate."
Li Susu said: "Yes, the family members under you are called subordinates for short."
Lu Xun Huan couldn't help but laugh and said, "No, Uncle Master, how come you've learned to make jokes?"
Li Susu also smiled: "I learned this from Xiaobai and those women. Okay, stop talking nonsense. When are you going to come with me?"
Lu Xun Huan touched his chin and said, "I helped Yan Bei recover the lost territory. He might want to promote me to work in Longzhou City. What do you think, should I go or not?"
Li Susu nodded: "It's best to go. Longzhou City is big, well-informed, and there are many opportunities."
"I'd rather be your assistant and go with you. We'll find another opportunity to return to Master's retreat."
Lu Xunhuan asked, "Are you not going back to Dragon Palace?"
Li Susu said, "We're going back, but we have to wait until I can sort out the problem with the formula first. Otherwise, my inability to make progress is a small matter, but your inability to make progress is a big deal."
Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Alright, I was just worried about not having any experts to help me, so it's great that you're here. Tonight, the three of us will act together."
He then asked Li Susu, "How did you find your way to Tongmu County?"
Li Susu said, "I went to Nanjun City to look for you, but I couldn't find you."
"But I heard many people talking about a man named Lu Chenglong. They said he was a great writer who could sing, play the piano, and even knew how to cultivate immortality."
"They also said that Lu Chenglong followed the Second Prince to the front lines to fight the enemy."
"I thought, that could be you, so I tried my luck."
Lu Xunhuan nodded again: "Smart."
He instructed Mo Xiaoqian, “I’m going to see Yan Bei now. After I leave, you arrange for the inn to prepare a bath for Master Uncle, and then let Master Uncle have a good sleep.”
Noila Mo asked, “Will you come back during the day?”
Lu Xunhuan said, "I'll be back when it gets dark, and we'll act together."
