Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Thunder Force +3_1
At the time when Li Xuan returned to Earl Chengyi’s mansion, two women in red dresses were walking along the Dark River near where Xue Wuya was captured.
Their figures were shifting between reality and illusion, treating everything, including the soil and rock layers, as if they didn’t exist. Meanwhile, members of the Liudao Fumo and constables from the Ying Tian Government who were still searching along the river were completely unaware of their presence.
“Was Xue Wuya captured here?”
Upon reaching a flat land by the riverside, the two women halted. One of them, who was older, around thirty years old with striking narrow phoenix eyes and wore an exquisite tall hat, exuded an extraordinary aura of luxury. She surveyed the surroundings.
After about two breaths, she focused her sight on a deep pit.
It was the remain of the battle left by Qiu Qianqiu, vaporizing a round of soil with a one-meter radius.
“Has Qiu Qianqiu’s Juemie Palm already reached such a stage? Xue Wuya’s defeat wasn’t unjustified. But what I heard before was that the Dushan Temple cleaned up and left no trace. So, how did they find this place?”
“Disciple has not yet fully investigated this matter.” The other woman was younger, around twenty years old, with a cinnabar mark in the center of her eyebrows, “However, according to our insiders, Li Xuan was credited with capturing Xue Wuya and cracking the blood sacrifice case on Jiangjun Mountain. He is the second-born son of Earl Chengyi.”
“Li Xuan? How can it be him? Xiang’er, you have piqued my curiosity.”
The older woman, taken aback for a moment, then asked, “By the way, why haven’t you taken action against him yet?”
“I couldn’t find an appropriate opportunity.” The young woman named ‘Xiang’er’ shook her head: “Unknown why, Li Chengji is very cautious about him. According to the information we gathered, when Li Xuan was a child, Li Chengji asked a highly skilled person to apply a forbidden spell on him. Later, no matter where Li Xuan was, Li Chengji could sense his location.’
“So unless you kill him directly, any other action is meaningless. Initially, we planned to use the case of Cui Hongshu to send him to the Ying Tian Government’s prison, and gradually remove the forbidden spell on him. Unfortunately, it ended in vain. Nowadays, Li Chengji has been dismissed and has been in the capital ever since.”
On remembering a particular matter, she expressed regretfully: “Just a few days ago, Li Chengji and Li Xuan visited Poyang Lake and restored the magical seal on the tomb of Han dynasty beneath the lake. Due to my concerns over insufficient strength and the fear of causing a greater loss inadvertently, I did not attempt to intervene. You need to be at least a 7th rank official to enter the tomb of the Han Dynasty, so I guessed that Li Chengji must have relied on Li Xuan to do the repair on their visit to Poyang Lake just a few days ago. And it was then Li Xuan was promoted to Fumo Youjiao.”
“It was right for you not to intervene, at the water system area around Yangtze River, Li Chengji nearly possesses the heavenly level, something you cannot compete against.”
The older woman agreed, then wondered, “Never would I have thought that this rich and spoilt young master would become a problem for you and me.”
“I will handle him as soon as the situation permits.”
‘Xiang’er’ gave a wry smile, “Currently, the situation in Nanjing City does not look promising. Qiu Qianqiu is a major general of Liudao Division and has a remarkable record over twenty years and is known as ‘the pillar of the west heaven’ and ‘the golden ridge of the sea’ of the Liudao Division. His arrival may well revitalize Zhuque Hall. But on our side, at a critical moment, we lost Xue Wuya, an important figure in our cause, and even the Undead King he created has fallen into the enemy’s hands.”
But, after listening, the older woman didn’t show any concern, “It is indeed a shame at Xue Wuya’s capture, but every cloud has a silver lining, there’s no knowing whether good or bad comes first. Do you see the ending of the martial law in Nanjing City? Also, the Liudao Division will stop their citywide search.”
She smiled brilliantly and glanced at two demon slayers who were walking along the river with a compass in their hands, “For us, isn’t this the best news? Even if our plan is successful, what can Qiu Qianqiu do with his power that could cover the sky?”
※※※※
It was late at night when Qiu Qianqiu left from Earl Chengyi’s mansion.
Li Xuan originally thought that Li Chengji would be very happy, but these two started embracing, laughing, crying, expressing their feelings and singing loudly at the doorway. This scene made both Li Xuan and Li Yan completely perplexed.
Nevertheless, this showed that the two had indeed been inseparable in their youth.
After bidding Qiu Qianqiu farewell, Li Xuan hastily returned to his bedroom and sat cross-legged on his bed.
It was already late at night, almost eleven in modern time. He needed to start his circulatory exercises soon.
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.
Furthermore, he had three Liudao Renyuan Elixirs in hand today, which made him look forward to it even more.
However, before his meditation, Li Xuan glanced at the pill bottle given by Qiu Qianqiu. A trace of delight flashed across his face, and he thought that today was his lucky day.
It was in fact a ‘Five Thunder God Pill’ from the Tianshi’s mansion of Longhu Mountain, its main function was to increase Thunder Style Zhenyuan.
Li Xuan thought to himself that Uncle Qiu had really sharp eyes; he had noticed that he had embarked on the path of cultivating both ice and thunder.
This was currently the most useful item for him. Even if the ‘Five Thunder God Pill’ didn’t significantly increase his thunder force, it was still very meaningful to him.
Every ounce of increased thunder force meant he could resist more Yinsha.
The boots were also excellent. While made of iron, they were named ‘Fei Lei’. They could drastically reduce the wearer’s weight, making their movements more nimble, whilst also generating a halo of lightning that assisted rapid travel.
It was obvious that Qiu Qianqiu had prepared these gifts especially for him, which showed his deep consideration.
Li Xuan consumed the ‘Five Thunder God Pill’ that night; the feeling was entirely different from the ‘Liudao Renyuan Elixir’. First off, it was tasty, like candy in his mouth. Afterwards, Li Xuan felt a tingling throughout his body, as if lightning was traveling inside of him, even including his Shenpo.
Li Xuan was then able to easily visualize ‘Shenxiao Juemie Thunder’ at 10,000 volts and 100,000 kilowatts without the slightest difficulty.
He was utterly amazed and subsequently elevated the voltage to 15,000 volts and 200,000 kilowatts with ease.
It wasn’t until Li Xuan doubled these figures that he began to feel strained.
His circulatory exercises continued for more than thirty cycles that night, until the end of the Hour of Zi, when the medicinal effects of the ‘Five Thunder God Pill’ finally dissipated.
After finishing his meditation, Li Xuan couldn’t help but walked out of his room to practice the ‘Dongxuan Jingshenzhi’ in the courtyard.
Without borrowing any magical instruments or external forces, Li Xuan saw a faint purple lightning enveloping his body, especially at the fingertips, where a small thunderball condensed.
This Thunder Style Zhenyuan had increased by more than three times! It was equivalent to his usual cultivation efforts over twenty days.
The key was that the green patch on his chest had receded noticeably, giving up a considerable amount of lost territory.
Li Xuan couldn’t help smacking his lips, missing the taste of the ‘Five Thunder God Pill’. Unfortunately, such pills from Longhu Mountain was rarely available outside, it was impossible to buy even if someone had the wealth for it.
Subsequently, he turned his attention to another pill bottle containing ‘Liudao Renyuan Elixirs’. He was looking forward to the increase in his cultivation after consuming these three elixirs.
