Chapter 212: The Master and Disciple's Journey

"Lu Xun, you finally came back!"

When Lu Xun appeared on the South Heaven Gate, Chu Youqing excitedly lunged at him.

Perhaps it was because she was overly worried about Lu Xun; crystal-like tear light welled up in the corners of her eyes.

Not far away,

Murong Wan was also there.

She and Chu Youqing had been waiting here for Lu Xun for two days and one night.

On the Rainbow Bridge, tracking a person is not easy.

Even though Fu Xue is a Six Realms expert, there isn't a very good method.

Fu Xue's choice was... to go through Chu Youqing.

She knew Chu Youqing was Lu Xun's girlfriend.

Before entering the Spirit Realm, Lu Xun might say a word to Chu Youqing.

Lu Xun indeed has the habit of reporting in.

After all, the demon race had issued a kill order on him; Lu Xun always acts cautiously, and before each entry into the Spirit Realm he would tell Chu Youqing and Murong Wan the Spirit Realm's number.

At the same time, Lu Xun also told them that if he didn't return within a month, it was likely he had been blocked or encountered some mishap, and he asked them to go find help.

Well, the maximum time Lu Xun set is one month.

Before this, he hadn't expected so many Six Realms demons to come block him.

This approach indeed worked.

After Fu Xue found Chu Youqing, she successfully learned which Spirit Realm Lu Xun had entered.

From this, Chu Youqing knew Lu Xun might have been blocked.

Worried, she came to the starting point of the Rainbow Bridge and waited.

As for Murong Wan, she had just finished opening the secret apertures of her five viscera and six bowels, and when she wanted to go out to catch insects to practice her skills, she saw Chu Youqing and thus learned of this.

So she also stayed here waiting.

Now, seeing Lu Xun return, Murong Wan's taut heartstrings relaxed.

Her furrowed distant-mountain brows finally relaxed; the worry in her eyes, like morning mist meeting sunlight, gradually faded away.

"I'll be waiting here for you at eight tomorrow morning."

Seeing Lu Xun and Chu Youqing happily embracing, Fu Xue dropped a sentence and then her figure silently vanished.

"Lu Xun, as long as you're safe, but I was worried sick."

After Chu Youqing held Lu Xun for a long while, she cupped his face with both hands and carefully examined him.

As if afraid he might be missing a part.

Lu Xun was naturally unharmed.

After Chu Youqing finished examining him, she completely relaxed.

"Auntie, Lu Xun, let's go stroll together."

She no longer intends to continue cultivating; she wants to have a good get-together with Lu Xun.

Let's get together then; Chu Youqing hasn't forgotten her aunt.

Her relationship with Murong Wan is naturally excellent; they've played together since childhood.

When she was young, Chu Youqing often stayed at Murong Wan's house.

Children are very perceptive of people's emotions and attitudes.

They can usually sense who likes them and who doesn't.

The Chu family overly favors males over females; Chu Youqing feels little kindness from her Chu relatives, so she prefers to be with Murong Wan.

Thus,

On the South Heaven Gate, the three of them started strolling together.

Although Lu Xun's fame is great, the number of cultivators who know him is not large.

Moreover, most cultivators are in the Spirit Realm and aren't particularly aware of outside events, so the three weren't disturbed.

However, the three are handsome and pretty, still quite eye-catching.

"Junior Sister Chu, you were originally here."

As they were strolling, suddenly a figure descended from the sky.

Lu Xun looked in that direction and saw a man with a crane-like posture and pine-like bearing, eyebrows like a swimming dragon, eyes containing thunderlight.

Seeing him, Chu Youqing's grip on Lu Xun's hand tightened instantly.

"Senior Brother Cao, do you need something from me?"

Chu Youqing's tone was very flat.

The Cao surname man's gaze swept over their clasped hands, his eyes slightly shifting: "Actually, there's nothing much; I just haven't seen Junior Sister in a while and miss her."

Upon saying that,

Lu Xun's eyes instantly turned cold.

Chu Youqing is, after all, his girlfriend.

This guy, to his face, said he misses his girlfriend.

Is he trying to NTR him to his face?

"Senior Brother, sorry, I have a boyfriend."

Chu Youqing's voice turned cold: "Senior Brother, direct your longing elsewhere."

"Is he your boyfriend?"

The Cao surname man looked toward Lu Xun and began to size him up.

Exactly.

Chu Youqing tightly held Lu Xun's arm, her face full of pride.

May I ask your esteemed surname?

The Cao-surname man looked at Lu Xun.

Lu Xun.

Lu Xun raised his eyebrows and lightly uttered two words.

Lu Xun?

The Cao-surname man frowned, how come this name sounds so familiar?

Are you... that Lu Xun from Beidou University?

The Cao-surname man suddenly recalled and asked.

Exactly.

Lu Xun hadn't spoken yet when Chu Youqing already answered.

The Cao-surname man's expression slightly changed.

He didn't know yet that Chu Youqing's boyfriend was Lu Xun.

If it were someone else, he would still have confidence.

But Lu Xun... he really didn't have much confidence.

Sorry for the disturbance, farewell.

This guy was also decisive; with a move of his body, he flew away from here.

Lu Xun, he is a student my teacher once taught; I met him a few days ago when dealing with the bugs, but don't worry, I won't have any thoughts about him; I'll go practice elsewhere later, I don't want to run into him again.

After the Cao-surname man left, Chu Youqing seemed afraid Lu Xun would get angry, and hurriedly explained.

Lu Xun patted her little head: "I believe you."

These four words made Chu Youqing's face break into a sweet smile; taking advantage of Lu Xun's inattention, she quickly tapped his cheek.

Lu Xun, thank you.

Chu Youqing's bold move made her own face turn completely red.

Lu Xun then froze for a moment, then gently grabbed Chu Youqing's small hand.

On the side, Murong Wan was somewhat envious, but not feeling the usual sourness in her heart.

She seemed to have figured it out.

Her relationship with Lu Xun, keeping it as an underground romance, is also quite good.

If it were made public, her relationship with Chu Youqing would actually be awkward.

Seeing Chu Youqing and Lu Xun so affectionate, she instead felt happy to watch.

The three's shopping continued.

Just now's interlude didn't affect Lu Xun's mood.

Chu Youqing is so beautiful and outstanding, she will inevitably attract some flies.

If no one pursued her, that would actually be abnormal.

Within Qingbei, other students knowing her relationship with Lu Xun, no one would go after Chu Youqing.

The outside world is different.

Just like this Cao-surname man.

The other party is a Five Realms Immortal Cultivator, likewise a student once brought by Chu Youqing's instructor Qin Xinyue.

Qin Xinyue's ability is extraordinary, possessing Six Realms cultivation.

Unlike Fu Xue and the others, Qin Xinyue has always been a gold-medal instructor at the Clear Void Academy, having taught many students.

The trading area of South Heaven Gate is large; Lu Xun also needed to buy some things.

This time in the Storm Spirit Realm, although blocked for over ten days, the harvest was not small.

Setting aside innate spiritual energy and innate turbid energy, the harvest of Dark Energy alone amounted to several thousand cubic.

These Dark Energy were mainly harvested at the center of that storm.

After killing the Blood Demon, Lu Xun also obtained over a thousand cubic of Dark Energy.

Among the things Fu Xue took, these Dark Energy were not included.

Such a massive amount of Dark Energy is enough to support Murong Wan and Chu Youqing cultivating to above Six Realms.

Not only cultivation, but their equipment can also become very luxurious.

If this time together with Fu Xue we could find some higher-grade heavenly treasures, for a long time to come, their cultivation would lack no resources.

As for Bai Ling's side, Lu Xun doesn't need to worry.

Alchemists are the most profitable; Bai Ling not only doesn't need Lu Xun to provide resources, but can also earn money for Lu Xun.

Thus, Lu Xun can free up some Dark Energy to strengthen his Chaos Divine Body.

He wants to fill all his Chaos Cells with Dark Energy; the required Dark Energy is an astronomical figure.

Before, in the Dark Energy Tide, Lu Xun absorbed over two thousand cubic of Dark Energy, yet only managed to forge a God's Left Hand.

In the God's Left Hand, the fully loaded Chaos Cells are only a hundred, plus over ten thousand Chaos Cells filled with one percent Dark Energy.

Additionally, Lu Xun also wants to repair the Golden Toad.

This thing is an Eight-Realm Spirit Puppet.

Once repaired, Lu Xun would have a means capable of threatening the Eight Realms.

However, repairing the Golden Toad requires a huge amount of Dark Energy; the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion's estimate is tens of thousands of cubic.

Moreover, Lu Xun also needs to find someone to repair it.

In short, although Lu Xun now possesses dark energy, to the He family, a major clan that only has the Five Realms, it is already far beyond their reach.

But there are still many places where dark energy is needed.

The stronger one's strength, the greater the demand for dark energy.

Step by step.

Lu Xun is not in a hurry.

"Bai Ling, please keep these things for me first."

"All right, boss."

After Lu Xun finished shopping in the trading area, he placed some materials with Bai Ling.

Bai Ling has been frantically concocting pills these days, and her cultivation is about to break through to the Third Realm.

"Wan'er."

After the three separated, Lu Xun sneaked into Murong Wan's cultivation chamber again.

After spending the night together, early the next morning Lu Xun arrived early at the starting point of the Rainbow Bridge.

Fu Xue had not yet arrived.

Lu Xun checked the time; it was almost eight o'clock.

Fu Xue was nowhere to be seen.

"You won't stand me up, will you?"

Lu Xun worried.

Fortunately.

When eight o'clock arrived, Fu Xue's figure appeared silently.

"This timing is just right."

"Teacher."

Lu Xun had a smile on his face.

Fu Xue nodded slightly: "Which Spirit Realm are you preparing to go to?"

"Spirit Realm 87, Mist Continent."

Lu Xun said.

"Mist Continent?"

Fu Xue's eyes showed surprise.

She knew about this Spirit Realm, the Mist Continent.

There, everything is mist; even Immortal Cultivators of the Six Realms with divine sense can only explore a limited range, and for martial cultivators it is even more unfriendly.

"Hmm, teacher, don't worry, there's no problem."

Lu Xun guaranteed.

"All right."

Fu Xue said nothing more.

The two arrived at the starting point of the Rainbow Bridge and took out their passes.

But after activation, Fu Xue suddenly thought of something.

If entering the Spirit Realm as a team, to appear in the same place upon entry, they must hold hands.

Otherwise they will be scattered in different places.

Holding hands... she has never held hands with any other man since childhood, except when her father held her hand.

After hesitating for just a second, Fu Xue grabbed Lu Xun's wrist without changing her expression.

At that moment, she fully immersed herself in the role of a teacher.

"Don't move, I'll take you in."

"All right, teacher."

Rosy light enveloped the two, carrying them swiftly away into the distance.
