Chapter 248

So handsome...

Upon seeing Lu Xun in person, even Wang Qunyun couldn't help but admit.

Lu Xun is indeed overly handsome.

Handsome is no different from beautiful.

By itself, it's actually useless.

But combined with Lu Xun's peerless genius identity and formidable cultivation, plus his extremely high social status, his appeal to women is not just somewhat greater.

At this moment, even Wang Qunyun couldn't help but think... If she had met Lu Xun when she was young, how great that would be.

She completely forgot her husband was still beside her, and her children were even older than Lu Xun.

Moreover, she wouldn't have thought that even if she had met Lu Xun when she was young, Lu Xun wouldn't have given her a second glance.

Immediately, Wang Qunyun realized that she and Murong Yan are sworn enemies.

"What's the use of being a genius anyway? Just relying on external force to kill a few Fifth Realm cultivators, you'll die sooner or later."

Wang Qunyun quickly straightened her posture and inwardly began to disparage Lu Xun.

Otherwise, how could one say that the most important thing in a person's life is picking a side?

Once one's stance changes, no matter how handsome Lu Xun is, in Wang Qunyun's eyes he becomes hateful.

"Grandfather, this is the gift I brought for you."

On the other side.

Lu Xun presented a large gift package with both hands to Old Master Chu.

As Chu Youqing's boyfriend, Lu Xun chose to address Old Master Chu the same way Chu Youqing does.

On his first visit, although he came to check on his father-in-law's condition, he certainly wouldn't show up empty-handed.

"Since you're already here, what's the point of bringing a gift?"

Lu Xun's gift package made Old Master Chu especially happy.

Although he said that, the corners of his mouth were already harder to suppress than an AK.

After Lu Xun finished delivering the gift to Old Master Chu, he then walked over to Murong Yan standing nearby.

"Auntie, this is something I specially brought for you."

Lu Xun, smiling, presented another large gift package.

"Lu Xun, thank you."

After Murong Yan's gaze lingered for a moment on Lu Xun's sunny face, the turmoil in her heart quietly dissipated.

It was as if Lu Xun's smile possessed some kind of magic.

She generously accepted Lu Xun's gift.

Seeing this, Chu Youqing couldn't help but feel a little happy.

As children, who wouldn't want their love to be approved by their parents?

"Right, how is Uncle? Take me to see him."

After presenting the gift, Lu Xun didn't waste any more time.

"Father is still unconscious, Lu Xun, I'll take you there."

Chu Youqing grabbed Lu Xun and left.

"This Youqing child..."

Old Master Chu had no choice.

In his view, Lu Xun is not a physician and cannot cure illness, so he should be properly entertained and not neglect etiquette.

As for Chu Yuping, it's not that he doesn't care, but he really can't do anything.

Others also hurried to follow.

"Hmph, he's just a bit faster at cultivation, yet he thinks he can cure that good-for-nothing Chu Yuping?"

Wang Qunyun snorted coldly there.

She acknowledges that Lu Xun is a peerless genius.

But genius only means fast cultivation; when it comes to healing wounds, especially those sustained by cultivators, he cannot possibly be better than a physician.

Even the Fifth Realm physicians of the Martial Manor can't do anything.

Can Lu Xun possibly cure him?

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Chu Yuqiang, however, was a bit worried and decided to follow to see.

He likewise didn't believe Lu Xun could cure Chu Yuping; he was worried Lu Xun would pull strings.

Lu Xun is such a monster, and being at Qingbei, he might be able to summon physicians of the Six Realms or higher.

Under Chu Youqing's guidance, soon Lu Xun saw her father Chu Yuping.

Chu Yuping was placed on a warm jade bed.

This is the Taihe Warm Soul Bed that Old Master Chu specially bought at great expense; it can be used to warm the body and nourish the soul.

"Vitality is indeed draining away."

Upon Lu Xun's arrival, he could see at a glance that Chu Yuping's vitality was draining away.

"Student Lu, his condition is rather strange; I can't do anything. If you can summon a physician of the Six Realms or higher, there might be a way."

Beside him, Doctor Song said.

"Lu Xun, this is our Martial Manor's Doctor Song; every so often these past few months he comes to check on Brother Yuping's condition."

Commander Wang introduced.

"Senior Song, thank you."

Well, Lu Xun classmate, you don't need to be so polite; this is what I should do, but my cultivation is shallow, I can't solve overly complicated problems.

Doctor Song sighed.

What exactly is the problem?

After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Xun began to examine.

He indeed does not know how to treat illnesses and injuries.

But Lu Xun knows how to concoct pills.

If we can find the crux of Chu Yuping's condition, and Lu Xun concocts the appropriate pill, perhaps he can cure Chu Yuping.

As for physicians above the Six Realms, Lu Xun doesn't know any.

Of course, he can get a recommendation through Fu Xue and them.

Besides Fu Xue, there might be Six Realms physicians in Beidou Hall and Qingxu Palace; they should give Lu Xun face.

But given Chu Yuping's current condition, a Six Realms physician may not actually be able to solve it.

His bodily injuries have long been healed by Doctor Song.

No wounds on his body, no harm to his soul.

He looks like an utterly ordinary person.

Yet, he remains unconscious.

This is somewhat unsolvable.

Putting on an act.

In the rear of the crowd, Wang Qunyun sneered repeatedly.

In her view, Lu Xun is merely putting on an act while examining Chu Yuping.

However much she liked Lu Xun when they first met, after realizing her own position, she now dislikes him just as much.

What she cannot obtain must be sour.

This is her philosophy of life.

It is also her never-regretted secret.

Huh?

After examining, Lu Xun suddenly made a discovery.

This discovery stems from the throbbing of the monster core within his body.

It couldn't be related to the monster race, could it?

Lu Xun suddenly had a brainwave.

Grandfather, when you were besieged by the star-space exotic species, was there anything abnormal?

Lu Xun turned his head and asked Old Master Chu.

Abnormal? It seems there was nothing abnormal.

Old Master Chu, after recalling, said.

Did you encounter the monster race?

Lu Xun asked directly.

No.

Old Master Chu affirmed.

Lu Xun then asked in detail about the circumstances of Chu Yuping's injury at that time.

There is a problem.

He keenly sensed the problem.

The problem is that their eventual escape... was somewhat unreasonable.

At that time, a large group of star-space exotic species surrounded them; Chu Yuping used the Blood Burning Technique, fighting bloody and fiercely, which led to his coma.

Those star-space exotic species were too many; logically, they shouldn't have been able to break out so easily.

Yet, in the end, Old Master Chu still led them to break out.

That is not quite normal.

However, Lu Xun was not on the scene and does not know whether there was any cat grease inside.

Everyone, I need to use a secret technique; I need to shield it a bit, so please step back a little.

Lu Xun decided to use his monster power to examine.

The fact that he possesses monster power must naturally not be exposed, otherwise it would bring considerable trouble.

Alright, everyone step back a bit.

Old Master Chu and Chief Wang, among others, were very cooperative.

After they stepped back, Lu Xun threw out several formation flags, encircling the jade bed.

Then, the monster core within his body throbbed, and monster power instantly covered his entire body.

Sure enough, there is a problem!

After using monster power, Lu Xun immediately sensed where the problem lay.

Deep within Chu Yuping's heart, there is something.

Lu Xun entered Chu Yuping's body with monster power, and was instantly absorbed by that thing.

Let me see, what are you?

Lu Xun unleashed the Fiery Eyes, Golden Gaze.

Before, he had also used Fiery Eyes, Golden Gaze, but because that thing was hidden too tightly, he hadn't made much of a discovery.

Now, when Lu Xun used monster power as a lure to feed that thing, the moment it moved, Lu Xun sensed it.

"Surely it's something from the demon race!"

Lu Xun confirmed it; it really is something from the demon race.

It looks,

like a seed.

This seed is rapidly absorbing Chu Yuping's life force and growing.

"Demon seed!"

He recalled what Barbara had said about a demon race method.

Demon seeds are the seeds of powerful plant-transformed demons.

Generally only demon kings or above possess such a method.

Plant-transformed demon kings can implant a demon seed deep in the hearts of their clansmen; the demon seed is extremely hard to detect, and it lies dormant deep within.

When the time is ripe, or when a demon race person triggers it, it will draw the host's life force to grow, then burst out of the body, sweeping away all living things nearby.

The more people it kills, the faster the demon seed's power swells.

Once it grows, it is equivalent to a demon king's clone, extraordinarily troublesome.

No, not just demon kings.

If these demon seeds come from the demon emperor, or even the supreme of the demon race... the trouble would increase linearly.

In the demon race, the six realms are demon kings, the seven realms are great demon kings, the eight realms are heavenly demon kings, the nine realms are demon emperors.

The supreme of the demon race is the tenth realm.

It can also be called the demon emperor.

"The demon race isn't idle; they've secretly been planting demon seeds... on Lan Xing, will there be others who have been implanted with demon seeds?"

After sensing the demon seed within Chu Yuping's body and connecting it to the demon race's movements, Lu Xun shuddered in shock.

Those implanted with demon seeds by the demon race are likely not just Chu Yuping alone.

The reason Lan Xing still hasn't noticed until now is largely because the demon race chose targets with low cultivation—three or four realm cultivators.

It's probable that even four realm cultivators would not be selected.

Thus, if these three realm cultivators encounter problems, others would only assume they were harmed by astral alien species.

Moreover, most of them lack background and cannot afford skilled physicians, which leads to the demon seed going unnoticed.

Lan Xing itself also lacks much experience fighting the demon race.

Previously, the two sides only had a skirmish at the ancient road node, without large-scale war.

This time, Yao Xing is launching a full-scale war, naturally leaving no means untried.

"First get rid of it, then talk."

Lu Xun gathered his thoughts, preparing to first remove the demon seed from Chu Yuping's body, then report the news upward.

This demon seed has already begun to flare up, indicating the demon race is about to act.

Removing the demon seed is not easy, especially now.

However, for Lu Xun, who possesses demon power and Southern Ming Separation Fire, it becomes much simpler.

Using demon power can pacify the demon seed, then separate it, and finally burn it to death with Southern Ming Separation Fire.

This process requires great care, as the demon seed resides in Chu Yuping's heart.

"Xu Cheng, Xu Cheng, what's wrong with you, Xu Cheng..."

While Lu Xun was removing the demon seed from Chu Yuping,

on the other side of Rong Cheng, a three realm cultivator with a deathly pale face, as thin as a skeleton, suddenly began vomiting blood.

"Jiaming, I... I feel terrible..."

Before the three realm cultivator could finish speaking, his whole body suddenly split into five pieces.

The next second, a huge demon vine burst from his body, shooting up hundreds of meters in a short time, then, like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, it transformed into countless blood-red vines that fell down upon the surroundings.

"Ah..."

Amid the screams, countless people were swept away by the demon vines.

This scene was not only in Rong Cheng,

but also in the east and across all cities of Lan Xing, erupting simultaneously.
