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

Lu Xuan weighed the Mastiff Feather Bow in his hand.

When the Red Sparrow used the Mastiff Feather Bow before, he was indeed quite powerful, but this was also related to the archery skills he had learned.

At the same time, Lu Xuan also found an archery manual in Red Sparrow's storage ring.

"Soul-Splitting Arrow?"

"When this archery technique is mastered to its highest level, it can even track the enemy by locking onto their aura!"

"No wonder that guy was so confident, letting others run away without any problem."

"It's like a tracking arrow that can travel thousands of miles."

Lu Xuan flipped through the manual in his hand.

That's how they learned the effectiveness of this archery technique.

While saying it's ten thousand miles is a bit of an exaggeration, as long as it's within your own perception range, given the current situation, it should be difficult to escape within ten miles.

At this moment, Lu Xuan looked through the manual for the Soul-Splitting Arrow.

It can be considered a high-grade Xuan-level martial art.

That's quite good.

"If this martial art were improved and its difficulty reduced..."

"If we put them on the battlefield, wouldn't we instantly train tens of thousands of expert archers?"

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

However, simplifying a Xuan-level martial art to the point that everyone can practice, or lowering the threshold to a certain extent, is an extremely difficult task.

Even if Lu Xuan possesses extraordinary comprehension, it would take him at least several years to simplify it.

Clearly, this is not the right thing to do right now.

I have that kind of time.

I will directly upgrade my strength to the fifth rank, and I will be able to play a greater role on the battlefield!

No sleep for one night.

A light drizzle began to fall outside the cave.

"I wonder how the wives are doing at home."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

But after a short while, he also shook his head.

How can we let something like this distract us?

We must improve our strength.

Lu Xuan mentally rehearsed and practiced the Soul-Splitting Arrow technique.

In comparison, this Mastiff Feather Bow is truly a wonderful treasure for launching sneak attacks from the shadows.

As for the map in his hand, Lu Xuan also studied it.

We also roughly know the direction of the entrance.

"These people have clearly found the entrance, so why aren't they going in?"

"It seems they're planning to eliminate the Chu family and Xiao Yunshan as well."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

Next, I fear I'll have to face the Qinghe Sword Sect.

I've killed most of the Mu family's experts, so there's nothing to worry about.

After leaving the blessed land, Lu Xuan felt that he should find an opportunity to wipe out the entire Mu family.

However, the Mu family is, after all, an old and established family in Jinyuan City.

Their strength is considerable.

There's no guarantee that there might be a fourth-rank old monster among them.

Therefore, for Lu Xuan, the safest course of action is to break through to the fourth rank before going to the Mu family to act recklessly.

At least, so far.

The Mu family was unaware of their situation.

We are still in the advantageous position.

The sky began to brighten.

Lu Xuan activated the Heaven-Crossing True Technique.

He took out a fourth-grade spiritual fruit from the storage ring, which he had also found in Red Sparrow's storage ring.

We returned to the place where we picked the berries yesterday.

They threw the fruit inside from outside.

If it weren't for that strange beast yesterday, my cultivation level wouldn't have improved so much.

Most importantly, when the beast discovered the fruit was missing, it didn't come after him, which made Lu Xuan feel fortunate. Clearly, it was a peaceful beast.

Many of these strange beasts are ferocious, but some are also spiritual and can even befriend humans.

Such spiritually intelligent beasts are extremely rare.

Lu Xuan felt that this was the one, so feeding it wouldn't hurt.

After all, I had stolen the sixth-grade spiritual fruit that it had painstakingly guarded.

Not long after Lu Xuan left.

Then they heard a loud roar from the fourth-grade beast.

It sounds more like a feeling of jubilation.

A kind smile appeared on Lu Xuan's face.

This time, Lu Xuan did not traverse the entire island.

Not to mention the treacherous mountain path, who says there's only one fourth-grade exotic beast on this small island? If another one comes along, it will be quite troublesome for Lu Xuan.

It's safer to travel by water.

The thick fog on the water gradually dissipated.

Lu Xuan also clearly sensed it.

The strange beasts underwater seem to have become more active.

Clearly, some more powerful underwater creatures have appeared.

However, now that he possesses a high-level cultivation of the third rank, he no longer takes these strange beasts seriously.

Cut down trees and make rafts.

Lu Xuan lightly touched the ground with his toes and landed on the raft.

He concealed all his aura and even controlled his weight quite well, as if he were floating on the water.

Whoosh!

The raft drifted slowly forward.

Suddenly, the raft rocked slightly.

Lu Xuan looked down and saw a huge shadow underwater.

They've been targeted by a strange beast.

Lu Xuan, however, remained calm. He simply stared at the shadow, his eyes slightly focused, and an invisible aura slowly emanated from him.

The huge shadow beneath the raft seemed to have sensed the rather intimidating aura emanating from Lu Xuan, and then it drifted away.

All living beings sense the presence of a stronger being. If they were to rush in, they might not only fail to get a bite to eat, but they might also lose their lives.

Watching the strange beast flee.

Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little smug.

Once your cultivation level is high enough, many problems can be resolved in advance, without even needing to lift a finger.

The raft slowly approached the shore.

But looking at the traces on the shore, it was clear that someone had already landed on this dangerous island.

Although the island is classified as a high-risk situation.

But as long as you don't go looking for dangerous places to crawl into, taking a short break won't be too dangerous.

Powerful mythical beasts all have their own territories.

Although there are some wandering creatures, the density of strange beasts on this small island is not very high.

Therefore, setting up camp here in advance is not a difficult task.

After Lu Xuan landed on the island, he tried to put the small raft into his incense tree space, but found that it was too big to fit in for the time being.

Clearly, this incense tree space can only store small items at present.

"I've heard of a magical treasure ship that can change size at will, and if powered by spirit stones, it can even fly through the air."

Lu Xuan recalled that when he was young, someone had said something similar when telling a story.

Of course, in the past, this would have been a very mysterious or even unattainable thing for him, but things are different now.

Knowing that this thing truly exists, and that one day I will be able to obtain it.

Although Lu Xuan now possesses a cultivation level of the high-level third rank.

They can easily climb to a height of about thirty feet, but they cannot actually fly.

To fly, one needs at least the strength of a fifth-rank cultivator.

A fourth-rank martial artist, condensing the power of Yuan Gang.

Once one's cultivation reaches the fifth rank, one can combine Yuan Gang with one's spiritual power to form Shen Gang.

Once you can mobilize the power of the divine energy, you can easily fly through the air.

However, raising one's cultivation level to the fifth rank is not easy.

Besides the powerful Yuan Gang.

Cultivating mental strength is the most difficult part.

Some people have practiced diligently for more than ten years without making any progress. In the end, they go crazy, but still fail to reach the fifth rank.

This is more like an insurmountable threshold.

Only by overcoming this hurdle can you truly determine whether you can step onto the next higher level.

For Lu Xuan, reaching the fifth rank is still a long way off.

Let's get the follow-up techniques of the Heavenly Crossing True Technique first.

Follow the route on the map to find the entrance to the mysterious ruins.

Just as Lu Xuan arrived near the entrance, he heard some people talking.

Lu Xuan immediately leaped up and landed on the treetop, quietly observing the situation ahead.

"That should be the young sect master of the Qinghe Sword Sect."

"The other one is the black-clad steward from the Qinghe Sword Sect."

Although Lu Xuan had never seen the black-clad butler's appearance, he had noticed the rather unusual clothes the butler was wearing before setting off.

Since he's called the Black-Clad Butler, there must be a lot of rules about wearing his clothes, so other people probably wouldn't dare to wear them, making him easy to identify.

Besides these two, there were four other second-rank experts from the Mu family.

The Mu family has lost quite a few second-rank experts to Lu Xuan alone, so it's already quite impressive that they can still muster four second-rank experts.

"Why haven't those people arrived yet?"

"Uncle Nian, why should we wait for them? Why don't we just go in ourselves?"

Young Sect Master Liu Zhanqing said with a dissatisfied expression.

He just doesn't like waiting.

He was the young sect master of the prestigious Qinghe Sword Sect, a man of such noble status, yet he was waiting for them here!

"Young Sect Master, please calm down. Without these people to pave the way, it would be difficult to penetrate deeper and obtain the treasures. The formation in the final stage is too strong; it would require at least three Rank 3 experts to pass. With just the people here, it would be difficult to succeed."

The black-clad steward of the Qinghe Sword Sect was named Shen Nian.

At this moment, Shen Nian spoke slowly.

He himself, the young sect leader, was good in every way, except for his lack of patience.

In terms of talent and martial arts aptitude, he is top-notch.

However, he lacks patience.

If this point is not changed, it will be difficult to achieve great things.

Fortunately, the entire Sword Sect is still there to support us.

As long as one's martial arts skills are strong enough, it's enough to make a name for oneself.

"What if they don't come?"

Liu Zhanqing frowned and said.

"If they don't come... we can only give up and wait until we gather our forces again. If Mu Jianlong were here, we could have given it a try, but now Mu Jianlong should have been killed by now."

Shen Nian said.

We've already tried the final stage of that formation before.

A maximum of three people can enter the formation, and a minimum of one.

As a result, none of my previous attempts could pass the level, and I had no choice but to give up. Could it be the same this time?

Suddenly, two Mu family experts who were on guard duty outside quickly returned.

"It's bad, Steward Shen, people from the City Lord's Mansion and the Chu family have come to the island."

"Chu Lingsheng and Xiao Yunshan are both here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions immediately became more tense.

Shen Nian, however, seemed lost in thought and showed no sign of panic.

"What's the panic?"

"This is a blessed place opened to the imperial court; anyone can come."

"However... now that the City Lord's Mansion and the Chu family have arrived, it's not impossible to cooperate with them..."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of several members of the Mu family immediately changed.

What's wrong with Shen Nian? He's already cooperated with the Mu family, and now he wants to cooperate with the Chu family too!?

However, with Mu Jianlong, a third-rank martial artist, absent, these people, being of low rank and having little influence, naturally dared not say much.
