Chapter 232 - Royal Poinciana

  "We are from the same sect, so naturally I won't threaten you."

  The graceful woman looked at Lu Xuan with an indifferent expression, without any emotion in her eyes.

  "I just hope that you can have some self-knowledge. Whether it is cultivation or family background, the three of us are much stronger than you, junior brother. We gave you a way out, but you did the opposite."

  "I think you have already seen that the charred wood is a rare treasure, but you are only in the early stage of foundation building. It is easy for people to covet the treasure, so it is better to give it to us."

  Hearing the words of the graceful woman, Lu Xuan's mouth corners rose, his eyes were firm.

  "Senior brother said before that treasures are obtained by those who are destined to get them. Now this piece of charred wood has belonged to me, so the three senior brothers and sisters should not covet it."

  "Don't think about taking it by force, there are people watching above."

  Lu Xuan pointed to the top of his head and said lightly.

  "If you don't accept my toast, you'll be punished!"

  "Today, I will take back that piece of poinciana from you, even if I am punished and put in solitary confinement afterwards, I will not refuse."

  Seeing Lu Xuan so stubborn, the handsome young man who had been holding back finally couldn't control his inner anger.

  The spiritual energy gathered rapidly, and a spiritual palm of ten feet grabbed Lu Xuan fiercely.

  Lu Xuan stood still, and when the spiritual palm approached, he clenched his fist, his finger bones as crystal as jade, and punched the huge spiritual palm.

  "You are trying to stop a chariot with your arms, you don't know your own strength!"

  Seeing that Lu Xuan actually wanted to resist his giant palm with his flesh, the handsome young man sneered.

  The scene in front of him was beyond his expectation.

  Lu Xuan's body was only slightly shaken twice under the attack of the giant palm, and the spiritual palm was vulnerable to the attack of Lu Xuan's small fist, and instantly turned into nothingness.

  He had taken a few drops of the third-grade golden marrow jade liquid to enhance his physical strength, and swallowed the third-grade jade scale fruit. In addition, he practiced the two major body-refining techniques, "Glass Bone Forging Method" and "Taixu Transformation into Dragon", and his physical strength had long surpassed most third-grade magic weapons.

  With his physical body alone, he easily blocked the attack of the handsome young man.

  "Huh?"

  The handsome young man exclaimed, and put away his contempt for Lu Xuan. The peacock sword in his hand instantly stretched out, and dozens of flying swords like feathers shot out.

  On the left, the graceful woman was unwilling to fall behind, and her spiritual power surged. A huge water dragon bared its fangs and claws and flew towards Lu Xuan.

  On the right, the black giant sword in the hands of an ordinary young man turned into a black light and attacked Lu Xuan silently.

  Lu Xuan was calm in his heart, and the Xunlei sword light in his dantian continued to flow out, merging with the sword light around him, like a black hurricane, sweeping towards the many flying swords.

  At the same time, a third-grade water dragon talisman quietly slipped out of his sleeve, and an equally huge water dragon instantly condensed and formed, flying towards the water dragon technique performed by the graceful woman.

  A delicate and small jade seal rolled towards the ordinary young man, and its volume expanded rapidly. In a few moments, it was as big as a small mountain, carrying a force of ten thousand pounds, and slammed into the black giant sword.

  The sword body was deeply sunken under the sudden attack of the third-grade Fengyue jade seal, and the ordinary young man who controlled the giant sword couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

  I don't know if it was because of anger, or simply because he was implicated by the giant sword.

  The three people attacked together, but they were blocked by Lu Xuan at the same time.

  "I didn't expect that you, Junior Brother Lu, hid so deeply."

  The three people showed surprised expressions on their faces at the same time. Two mid-stage foundation-building cultivators and one early-stage foundation-building cultivator attacked together, but they were easily blocked by Lu Xuan, who had just been promoted to an inner disciple.

  Even if it was just this one attack, it was enough to show how powerful he was.

  Lu Xuan was calm, he knew that this was just the first encounter, it was not that easy to escape with the piece of magical charred wood.

  The joint attack of the three was blocked, and there was a fleeting opportunity.   

  Lu Xuan made a prompt decision, and a talisman that was neither gold nor jade appeared in his hand. The talisman was shaped like a sword tip, and there were waves surging on the surface. It

  was the fourth-grade Xiaohai Sword Talisman that he got after picking a sword-raising gourd.

  Under the traction of spiritual power, the waves in the talisman surged violently, and suddenly, infinite sword intent shot out from it.

  The sword intent was like a raging wave, with bursts of sword whistles, and rolled towards the three handsome young men with an irresistible momentum.

  The three people's spiritual consciousness instantly sensed the horror of the huge wave of sword intent, and each used means, or sacrificed powerful defensive magic weapons, or used powerful escape methods to stay away from the infinite sword intent.

  Seeing this, Lu Xuan did not hesitate at all, took back the Fengyue Jade Seal, turned around and left.

  He followed the route he came from, and his figure was like a floating light. In a few breaths, he floated into the medicine garden. Then, earthy yellow spiritual power emerged from his body and instantly drilled into the ground.

  After a while, Lu Xuan's spiritual consciousness sensed the surroundings, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he drilled out of the spiritual soil of the medicine garden.

  He took out several Yuan-nourishing Pills from his storage bag and swallowed them in one gulp, recovering the half of his spiritual power that had been lost.

  The waves on the surface of the fourth-grade Xiaohai Sword Talisman in his hand were much thinner than before.

  In order to give himself a brief chance to escape, he activated nearly half of the sword intent in the sword talisman.

  The fourth-grade Xiaohai Sword Talisman can severely injure or even kill a cultivator in the middle or late stage of foundation building with a full-strength attack. Half of the sword intent was directed at the three people, which could buy him a lot of time.

  "Use a third-grade water dragon talisman and half of a fourth-grade Xiaohai Sword Talisman."

  "In addition, there is the Xunlei Sword Light in the Dantian, and the Qingmu Yuanqi, both of which are extremely difficult to replenish."

  He secretly calculated in his heart, feeling a little sad about his efforts.

  "However, these losses should not be a big deal in front of this piece of charred wood."

  Lu Xuan excitedly took out the magical charred wood with the phoenix phantom, performed the earth-drawing technique, and buried it in the spiritual soil.

  His mind was focused on the charred wood in the shallow layer of the spiritual soil, and suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

  [Phoenix wood, a sixth-grade ancient spiritual plant, is the tree of the ancient true spirit monster Phoenix Nirvana, and there is a trace of Phoenix essence and spirituality left in it. ]

  [It is of great benefit to the growth of fire-type monsters, especially fire-type monster birds. They complement each other. With long-term nourishment, there is a slight possibility of improving the grade of monster birds. Mature spiritual wood can be used to refine fire-type magic weapons. ]

  [It needs to grow in a fire spirit environment and be nurtured and raised with third-grade or higher strange fire. ]

  [Will it burn to black ash, or be reborn from the fire? ]

  "Sixth-grade spiritual plant!"

  "It's still an ancient variety!"

  Lu Xuan's joy was beyond words.

  In front of the sixth-grade spiritual plant, let alone half a fourth-grade Xiaohai Sword Talisman, even a hundred of them would be nothing.

  He took a deep breath and calmed down his excited mood.

  "Next, I just need to stay dormant and avoid the search of those three people. Everything will be fine after I take the Phoenix Tree out."

  "The sect has strict rules and regulations. As long as I stay in the sect and follow the rules, no one can deal with me."

  "Besides, I have the support of the sect's guardian spirit beast, and I have a close relationship with Shen Ye, the head of the Sinong Hall, and Ge Pu, the true disciple. I also helped Jindan Zhenren Gu Jiankong solve the obsession of Qingxuan Deer. At present, I am not an object that can be bullied at will."

  Lu Xuan thought secretly.
