I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

Fortunately, Mo Yan's injuries were not serious.

Lu Xuan examined Mo Yan and then told her to go to the side to heal her injuries, while Yan Meng remained on high alert.

At this moment, Lu Xuan arrived in front of the array in the weapons courtyard, holding the array-breaking hammer, and stepped into the array.

The blood wolf that just escaped might attract some kind of terrifying beasts, so we must break the formation as soon as possible and take what's inside.

Of course, it's also possible that the blood wolf simply escaped.

It will not pose a significant threat.

However, it's always best to be cautious about these kinds of things.

Holding the array-breaking hammer, Lu Xuan stepped into the array.

The formation in front of us is more like a defensive formation. When you step into the formation, it feels like you are trapped by countless layers of spider silk. It has a very strong stickiness and pulls you in.

It will render you unable to move within the formation.

If you go in and can't get out, you'll easily get trapped and die inside the formation.

The reason why the outer formations were torn apart was precisely because the blood wolves were powerful, had enough time, and the outer formations were only at the fourth rank. This allowed them to tear them apart and eventually take over the formations.

Now, Lu Xuan is dealing with a fifth-grade formation.

Lu Xuan raised the array-breaking hammer in his hand.

While brute force can solve the problem, if the method is wrong, your strength will only be continuously depleted. The advantage of a formation master lies in being able to easily find the key to the formation and then easily carve a bloody path through this restrictive road.

Lu Xuan swung his array-breaking hammer and smashed it down hard in the direction of the lines that had seeped out from the array.

"boom!"

As Lu Xuan unleashed his Breaking Formation Hammer.

Even the seemingly impregnable formation began to break at this moment.

After several blows, Lu Xuan could feel the pressure around him ease a bit, and he had an area where he could move around.

It felt like navigating through a cave filled with spiderwebs.

Just as Lu Xuan was feeling relieved.

Suddenly, the area that had just been broken open gave rise to new array power, which, like stubborn spider silk, continued to bind Lu Xuan within it.

"Good heavens, so this is the power of a fifth-grade formation."

"It can also repair itself."

"Furthermore, after being damaged, the original array patterns actually began to change!"

A glint of light flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes.

The power of these formations is much greater than that of ordinary formations.

Even Lu Xuan needed to expend a lot of energy.

Now, it even has a self-repair function, which is obviously a more dangerous thing for Lu Xuan.

If one is not careful, one could easily stray deep into the formation.

If you find yourself in a dilemma, you may be trapped and die.

At this moment, Lu Xuan was restricted from both the front and the back.

However, he himself was not in a hurry.

After calming down and regaining one's composure.

Relying on his comprehension and talent in formations, Lu Xuan began to continuously expand his knowledge within this fifth-grade formation.

The complexity of a fifth-grade formation is more than ten times that of a fourth-grade formation.

Fortunately, the Breaking Hammer in his hand was indeed a powerful weapon.

These array-like entanglements were all easily destroyed by Lu Xuan.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Lu Xuan repeatedly interrupted the array's binding threads in front of him.

Finally, a narrow road was cleared.

"It's connected!"

When Lu Xuan broke the formation, he felt a surge of joy.

At the same time, his understanding of the fifth-grade formation was also rapidly improving.

At this moment, Lu Xuan clearly felt that his array formation skills seemed to have reached the fifth rank!

Even if they haven't firmly established themselves above the fifth rank, they've definitely reached the level of being halfway to the fifth rank.

It is at least far above the fourth rank.

Unexpectedly, this trip yielded such a pleasant surprise.

This also proves that as long as Lu Xuan continues to come into contact with some fifth-grade formations, he can also rapidly improve his strength by relying on his own comprehension.

Break through the original boundaries.

Successfully improve one's own cultivation level.

"Did Old Master Lu really get through?"

"This is a fifth-grade array... Could it be that Elder Lu is already a fifth-grade array master?"

Both women were clearly shocked.

They exchanged a glance, clearly seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

A fifth-rank formation master is highly sought after throughout the Xuanwu Dynasty.

Even some powerful sects would extend olive branches to fifth-grade array masters.

As long as Lu Xuan is outside, if he shows off his fifth-grade array master skills even slightly, countless people will come to him.

A fifth-grade array master is even rarer than a fifth-grade alchemist.

After all, once one's cultivation level is high, the pills themselves become extremely difficult to refine.

High-grade pills are naturally excellent cultivation resources, but they are extremely rare. In addition, they can be replaced by some rare and precious natural materials. Therefore, some powerful individuals would rather search for rare and precious natural materials and some more valuable spiritual herbs. These spiritual herbs are more practical than pills.

A powerful array master is essentially a very advantageous channel for acquiring resources.

After all, similar ruins and dangerous places often have similar array restrictions.

In such situations, array masters can play a very powerful role.

These methods allow them to break through the formation and obtain resources.

Lu Xuan clearly possesses such powerful cultivation, yet he remains so humble and low-key, which is truly rare.

As for those people like the Prince of Xiping, it was clearly the Prince of Xiping who provoked them. Moreover, the Prince of Xiping himself was suspected of betraying the dynasty, so naturally, such people were deeply hated.

"Come in quickly."

"Follow the path I just cleared."

Lu Xuan said.

This newly carved-out road is very narrow, allowing them to enter while keeping some of the strange beasts outside.

Furthermore, Lu Xuan was also able to manually repair the channels opened by the formation.

Just as Yan Meng was helping Mo Yan, about to enter the formation.

Suddenly, Lu Xuan sensed a hidden, dark aura approaching.

"Be careful!"

Lu Xuan shouted instinctively.

Yan Meng also sensed the approaching threat. As soon as she turned her head, she saw a scarlet venomous snake, like a sharp arrow, swiftly emerge from a crack in the rocks and bite towards Mo Yan.

Yan Meng immediately pulled Mo Yan over.

The venomous snake bit Yan Meng's arm.

"Xiao Meng!"

When Mo Yan saw Yan Meng being bitten by a poisonous snake, she quickly struck out with her palm, severing the snake in two.

"Bring me the snake gall!"

Lu Xuan quickly reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan immediately grabbed all the snake carcasses.

A quick glance revealed that many venomous snakes had already lurked around them.

Mo Yan immediately took Yan Meng and swiftly entered the formation.

Following the passage that Lu Xuan had previously opened up.

After the two entered, Lu Xuan immediately sealed the formation.

Although the two sides were only a few feet apart.

However, it was precisely because of the barrier of the formation that the venomous snakes that crawled out from outside could not get close.

"let me see."

After the two entered, Lu Xuan took Yan Meng directly and tore off the sleeve of her clothes.

However, they discovered that the wound where Yan Meng was bitten by the venomous snake was now a deep black, and there was a black line that was rapidly crawling towards Yan Meng's heart.

"Fast-paced energy suppresses toxins."

Mo Yan exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Xuan quickly stopped him.

"No!"

"This poison cannot be suppressed with spiritual energy, otherwise it will only backfire."

Lu Xuan quickly replied.

"This poison... is very similar to Madam Ye's poison!"

Upon hearing Lu Xuan's words, Mo Yan was immediately stunned.

This poison is actually very similar to the one Ye Xiaoxian was poisoned with?

Mo Yan had asked Ye Xiaoxian before, but Ye Xiaoxian did not reveal where the poison came from, so Mo Yan did not ask any further questions.

Unexpectedly, these strange venomous snakes have appeared in the ruins of Guanlan Ancient City.

"Where is the corpse of that poisonous snake?"

Lu Xuan asked.

Mo Yan suddenly looked down, only to find that the corpse of the venomous snake in her hand had turned into a wisp of black mist and disappeared.

"How could this happen?"

Mo Yan's pupils widened in shock.

Could it be that Ye Xiaoxian was also bitten by a similar poisonous creature, and that the poison simply dissipated after the bite?

Lu Xuan's gaze fell upon the venomous snakes coiled outside the formation.

These venomous snakes had a faint aura and looked no different from ordinary animals. Because there was no fluctuation of spiritual energy, Mo Yan and the others did not notice them at first. However, these venomous snakes were powerful, and their venom could easily kill a fourth-grade expert, showing its terrifying power.

In Lu Xuan's opinion...

It's highly likely that this thing belongs to another level of existence.

It belongs to a higher level of poisonous insects!

Therefore, even without any fluctuations in spiritual energy, it can easily poison and kill a fourth-rank martial artist.

This is like a powerful being who ascends to the upper realm, accidentally stepping on an ordinary poisonous insect in the upper realm, and then being poisoned to death.

The current situation is similar to a poisonous insect from the upper realm falling here.

I couldn't sense any fluctuations in the opponent's strength, and I even felt that the opponent wasn't very strong.

However, it can easily poison martial artists.

Lu Xuan looked at the venomous snakes, then glanced up at the array above his head.

"Could it be... that Guanlan Ancient City was destroyed because of these things?"

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

Protected by the array, the venomous snakes were unable to enter. After circling around, seeing that they could not get close, the snakes gradually retreated.

Lu Xuan also grabbed Yan Meng's arm.

With a thought, the Spirit Ash Holy Flame entered Yan Meng's arm.

It quickly rushed in through the wound caused by the venomous snake bite.

boom!

Lu Xuan's Spirit Ash Holy Flame immediately burned away the venomous snake power within Yan Meng's body.

That ethereal power.

It was completely incinerated by the power of the Holy Flame of Spirit Ash.
