Originally, Xu Mu wanted to accumulate Luck Value to break through the Fire-controlling Skill, but now that he has the Yellow Dragon Pill, he naturally prioritized advancing the Thunderbolt Sword Skill.

“Once the Thunderbolt Sword Skill is promoted to the master level, the physique will reach the level of marrow-cleansing frost, undergoing a rejuvenation not only will increase the lifespan, but also consolidate all pores, blood circulation, heartbeat, breathing, reaching the state of returning to the original.”

“Additionally, it can control the willpower, suddenly bursting out from the eyes, shocking the heart! Actions are swift as lightning, and the perception of the senses is extraordinarily sharp!”

Xu Mu aspired to reach this state as well.

Once he achieves it, not only can he cast the strongest Thunderbolt style within the Thunderbolt Sword Skill, but he can also consolidate his entire aura. It would be an excellent stealth tactic.

If during this infiltrate as part of the Patrol Team, he can possess a master level Thunderbolt Sword Skill, he could easily neutralize people like Jia An without a sound, without having to exert himself to release compressed fireballs.

“Let’s go to the Marketplace later and buy some Fasting Pills, so as to advance the Thunderbolt Sword Skill to the master level!”

Now he has enough Spirit Stones and Luck Value in his hand, naturally, there is no reason to delay.

When it comes to strength, the sooner it is promoted, the better.

After properly storing the pill, Xu Mu picked up the talisman to examine.

There were a total of thirteen talismans, six of which were tier two Revival Talismans used for healing, four tier three amulets, one tier three Fire Dragon Talisman, and two tier two Earth Spike Talismans.

Luckily, he acted quickly back then, otherwise if Luo Xu had managed to create some distance, these talismans alone would have caused him a lot of trouble.

But now, everything naturally ended up being beneficial to him!

After keeping the amulet close to his body, and putting the other talismans in his storage bag, Xu Mu turned his attention to the Spiritual Wine to check it.

There were two jars of Spiritual Wine, each weighing about five catties. One jar was still sealed with mud, indicating it was untouched while the other was covered with a lid, evidently already open.

When Xu Mu opened the lid, he immediately smelled a strong aroma of wine.

The jar contained an amber-colored liquid, full of texture when slightly agitated, and he wondered what spiritual materials it was made of.

Xu Mu was not a lover of alcohol, he had no interest in tasting it, and so simply packed it away after a brief look.

Then came the book!

It was a book about swordsmanship!

Its name was “Six Styles of Qingjiao”!

Although there were only six styles in the title, the book was incredibly thick.

As Xu Mu flipped through the book, he discovered a multitude of annotations and cultivation insights in addition to the six styles of swordsmanship.

The man probably carried the book on him in order to read these annotations and cultivation insights.

Unlike the Thunderbolt Sword Skill, a body cultivation sword skill, the Six Styles of Qingjiao is a sword-controlling skill that attacks by controlling the flying sword, a completely different method than the Thunderbolt Sword Skill.

After a quick glance, Xu Mu had a bold thought.

If the flying sword condensed with the Fire-controlling Skill is used to perform the Qingjiao Sword Jue, will its power increase?

His Fire-controlling Skill always had an awkward issue, its attack speed wasn’t fast enough. Although this could be compensated by reducing the size and increasing the quantity, a disadvantage will always remain a disadvantage.

If he could overcome this problem, its power would undoubtedly rise significantly.

For instance, in this battle, if he could condense the fire into a sword for the attack, he might have been able to take him down in two waves without giving his opponent a chance to use his trump card.

But obviously, now was not the time to experiment.

Moreover, this sword skill might be his opponent’s family secret sword technique. If he recklessly practiced it now and it was found out, that would be tantamount to confessing his guilt.

Even if he wanted to attempt it, he would need to be in a safe environment.

After arranging all the things, Xu Mu mentioned it to his wife and then left the house with the Jade Marrow Pills he had refined during this period.

White Stone City

A streak of cyan light streaked across the sky, landing at the entrance of the Luo Family. The silhouette revealed an elder clad in Xuanqing Taoist robes emanating a terrifying aura.

As he strode into the compound, the servants and Luo Family disciples along the path paid their respects by kneeling down in reverence.

Luo Hun, the Family Head of the Luo Family, came out from the inner courtyard and swiftly went up to greet him.

“Father!”

Luo Hun greeted the old man with a slight bow.

The old man’s face was filled with anger.

“What has happened that requires the use of transmission formations and is so urgent that it demands my return? Do you not know that this is a critical time for the Sect and the Soul Forging Sect’s battle?”

“Father, Xu has been killed!” Luo Hun relayed, his face full of sadness.

“What?!!”

The old man’s eyes bulged in anger, and his powerful spiritual pressure was released without restraint.

The surrounding servants were directly pressed down to the ground, their faces pale, and their foreheads covered in cold sweat.

This elder was known as Luo Lie, the only Foundation Establishment Stage elder left in the Luo family.

Luo Xu was his grandson and the one he valued most. At less than forty years old, he had already broken through to the late stage of Qi Cultivation and had a high probability of achieving Foundation Establishment in the future.

To avoid any accidents, Luo Lie purposely kept him at home.

In order to avoid being conscripted by the Sect, he even arranged a low-profile position for him.

How could something have gone wrong under such circumstances?

“Which family dared to do this? 1 will go and kill them right now!”

Only he remained in the Luo family as a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, but he was old and his life was nearing its end. Under such circumstances, Luo Xu was their family’s future.

Killing Luo Xu was undoubtedly cutting off their future. How could he tolerate this?

A green flying sword flew out of his sleeves, radiating a fierce and sharp Sword Qi which seemed like it could cut the void. The faint dragon roars echoed, making the surrounding servants dizzy and causing blood to flow from their noses and mouths.

Luo Lie’s hair and beard flew wildly, his eyes filled with killing intent, as if Luo Hun only needed to say a name and he would immediately fly over and decapitate the person responsible.

“Father, 1 have yet to find out who did this!” Luo Hun replied, guilt on his face.

“What? You haven’t found the culprit yet? What are you even doing?”

Luo Lie waved his large sleeve, and a terrifying spiritual power was released from within his body, directly throwing Luo Hun against a wall, causing blood to flow from his mouth.

The servants were even more unfortunate. By the time they fell, they had already turned into a pool of flesh.

“Where is Xu’s body? Lead me there!”

“Yes, sir!”

Knowing his father’s temperament, Luo Hun didn’t dare to get angry. Hearing Luo Lie’s instructions, he respectfully led the way.

Soon, the two entered a secret room.

In the middle on a bed, laid a body clad in silver armor, which had been burned to a charred state.

“Dammit! Once 1 catch you, I’ll strip off your skin!”

Seeing the terrible condition of his grandson, Luo Lie was absolutely furious.

He walked up to the body. His hands rapidly formed a spell. An enormous spiritual pressure radiated from his body. Fie then pressed a finger between the eyebrows of the corpse and with a grasp, a ghostly soul was forcefully pulled out.

The soul looked indistinct and lethargic, almost identical to Luo Xu, except for the dull expression.

There was a trace of sorrow in Luo Lie’s fierce gaze before it was replaced with immense anger. He swallowed the soul of Luo Xu.

With his eyes closed, he sat cross-legged for a while before opening his eyes.

He flicks a finger!

Dots of blue spiritual light converged at his fingertips, then swiftly dispersed, transforming into an incredibly lifelike portrait.

The person in the portrait was holding a long sword, his face covered by a cloth. It was so vivid, even the strands of hair could be seen clearly.

“Mid-stage Qi Cultivation! Proficient in body cultivation swordsmanship and fire skill! Dispatch people immediately to investigate. Once he’s caught, i’ll make him wish he were dead!”

“Yes, sir!”
