Chapter 6 Wolf Head Mercenary Group: You want to take Little Fairy Doctor away? Did you ask our young leader first?
Outside the boudoir,
As dusk settled in the courtyard, Lu Yu sat cross-legged on the bluestone slab, scratching his head with a bewildered expression.

"It's just changing a cultivation technique, why is he blushing like this?" He muttered, glancing at the closed door. "It's not like I haven't seen it before..."

Shaking his head to clear his mind, he simply sat down to meditate in the courtyard. After all, switching cultivation methods couldn't be taken lightly; someone had to look after this silly girl.

The setting sun cast his shadow very long.

After a few hours,

"boom!"

Lu Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his robes fluttering even without wind. He opened his mouth and inhaled, and the surrounding energy of heaven and earth transformed into a visible vortex, all of it entering his mouth.

"Two-star Dou Master..."

Feeling the surging battle qi within his body, he smiled with satisfaction, thinking to himself, "Without relying on pills, one star a month is not bad."

Keep in mind that this was only after he had just begun practicing the Great Floating Pagoda Technique. This ancient divine technique is divided into three realms: Foundation Establishment, Form Condensation, and Pagoda Transformation. He has only just entered the Foundation Establishment realm, and is still a long way from the true perfection realm.

Only when Yin and Yang merge, reaching the realm of Transformation Tower and condensing into the Floating Pagoda, can this cultivation technique reveal its true terrifying power.

This is why Lu Yu insisted on finding a partner for dual cultivation. The two of them would each cultivate a scroll of the Great Floating Pagoda Technique, which would not only greatly reduce the difficulty of cultivation but also shorten the time it would take for him to enter the Tower Transformation Realm.

The Great Floating Pagoda is the true essence of the Great Floating Pagoda Technique.

"However, I do not have the bloodline of the Ancient Buddha Clan. Although I have obtained the orthodox Great Buddha Technique, I am afraid I cannot condense the top-level Holy Buddha Tower. I can only condense an ordinary Buddha Tower, but it is enough for this lower plane."

As Lu Yu pondered this, the door to the room in front of him suddenly opened, and a figure in white stepped out.

The moonlight, like water, gently fell upon the white-clad girl who pushed open the door. Little Fairy Doctor stepped out slowly, her pure white skirt fluttering slightly in the night breeze, like a blooming epiphyllum.

Her originally pale skin now had a radiant glow, like the finest mutton-fat jade under the moonlight. Her clear eyes shone even brighter, with slightly upturned corners, and a lively charm emanated from them as she looked around.

What's most striking is that the fighting spirit surging around her has actually increased to the level of a five-star Dou Zhe!
"You successfully switched majors?"

Seeing Little Fairy Doctor's terrifying cultivation level suddenly rise from a one-star Dou Zhe to a five-star Dou Zhe, Lu Yu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask.

Little Fairy Doctor smiled and nodded, saying, "Thanks to this cultivation technique, I feel the poison in my body is being continuously transformed into battle qi. I have never felt so relaxed before."

"Thank you."

"No need for thanks, we've simply taken what we needed."

"In that case, let's go."

Lu Yu nodded, then turned to leave.

"Wait!" Little Fairy Doctor hurriedly called out to him, her slender fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes. "Where...where are you going?"

"Naturally, I'll return to Wutan City; that's where I currently reside." Lu Yu turned back in surprise. "How can we cultivate together if we're not in the same place?"

Upon hearing this, the tips of Little Fairy Doctor's ears instantly flushed crimson. She lowered her head and gently bit her cherry lips: "I...I still have a contract with the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall..."

"How much ransom?" Lu Yu flipped through his fingers and pulled out a five-patterned purple-gold card that Xun'er had given him. The card gleamed with a luxurious luster under the moonlight. "Would one million gold coins be enough?"

"It's not about the gold coins..." Little Fairy Doctor hurriedly shook her head, about to explain, when suddenly noisy footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

"Commander! Young Commander! Little Fairy Doctor and that scoundrel are hiding here!"

"boom--!"

With a deafening crash, the courtyard gate shattered, sending splinters flying. Dozens of wolf-headed mercenaries filed in, their swords gleaming coldly in the moonlight, radiating a chilling killing intent. In an instant, they surrounded Lu Yu and Little Fairy Doctor. The crowd parted like a tide, and two figures slowly emerged.

The middle-aged man on the left had a sinister face, and his dark green robe fluttered without wind. He exuded the powerful aura of a two-star Dou Shi. He was none other than Mu She, the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

The young man on the right had a cold smile on his lips, his eyes roaming over Little Fairy Doctor like a venomous snake. Young Commander Mu Li toyed with the dagger in his hand and said in a sinister tone, "Miss Fairy, having a secret rendezvous with your lover in the dead of night, what a refined taste you have."

Under the moonlight, Lu Yu surveyed the gleaming weapons around him, raised an eyebrow, and turned to Little Fairy Doctor in a low voice, "Are your mercenary groups always this brave?"

Little Fairy Doctor covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "The Wolf Head Mercenary Group has always considered itself the number one force in Green Mountain Town, and they're quite arrogant..."

Upon hearing this, a fierce glint flashed in Mu Li's eyes, and he said, "Little Fairy Doctor, don't think that..."

"Shut up!"

Mu She suddenly shouted angrily, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty as he stared at Lu Yu. He grabbed the trembling spy beside him: "Didn't you say he was only a one-star Dou Shi yesterday?!"

"Commander..." The scout's face turned ashen. "I saw it with my own eyes..."

Mu She gasped, then looked at Lu Yu with a forced smile: "Young master, today's matter is purely a misunderstanding." He glared at the clueless Mu Li, "It's all because my son and his men are ignorant."

"I am willing to offer ten thousand gold coins as an apology, and I hope you will forgive me, young master."

A playful smile played on Lu Yu's lips as he looked Mu She up and down: "If I kill you, these ten thousand gold coins will still be mine, won't they?"

Mu She's pupils contracted sharply. Before he could react, he saw black light surge from Lu Yu's palm. In an instant, eight black palm shadows shot out, each trailing a dazzling energy tail, crashing into his chest like meteors.

Advanced Xuan-rank combat skill: Guardian Gua Palm!
"Father!" Muli's terrified cry had barely left his lips when he was about to warn his elderly father.

The serpent had fallen heavily to the ground, dead.

The surviving mercenaries were ashen-faced; how could they dare to avenge their leader? In the blink of an eye, they scattered like birds and beasts, leaving only a stunned Muli behind.

"Spare me...spare me..." Mu Li's knees buckled, and before he could finish speaking—

boom!
Another black palm print slammed down from mid-air, shattering his head.

A night breeze swept by, carrying lingering traces of the stench of blood. Lu Yu slowly withdrew his palm. This Xuan-rank fighting technique was a gift from Xun'er when he broke through to the Dou Zhe level. Besides this Guardian Palm, there was also a five-patterned purple-gold card and a fire-attribute technique called "Flame Manipulation Technique."

However, he has now switched to cultivating the Great Floating Pagoda Technique, and the Flame Manipulation Technique is no longer useful. But the Guardian Divination Palm is still quite useful.

Lu Yu dusted himself off, took out two storage rings from Mu She and Mu Li, and then turned to Little Fairy Doctor: "Now that the troublesome people are dealt with, we should get going."

He paused, a sly glint in his eyes: "But before leaving Qingshan Town, we need to go to an interesting place."

"Where?" Little Fairy Doctor's eyes lit up, and she leaned forward unconsciously. In the moonlight, the silver ornaments in her hair jingled, making her pretty face even more lively.

Lu Yu ran his fingertips over the storage ring, recalling its treasures—the Purple Cloud Wings, the Roar of the Mad Lion, and the crucial fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map.

"That's the cave where I found the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture." He lowered his voice. "There are quite a few good things there, but..."

"Just what?"

"But the cave is full of rare medicinal herbs, and I really don't know how to harvest them." Lu Yu spread his hands helplessly. "This matter will have to rely on you, the expert."

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor's lips unconsciously curled upwards. Her slender fingers gently twirled a strand of her hair, her eyes gleaming with eager anticipation: "Then lead the way! Gathering herbs is a piece of cake for me!"
