Chapter 60: Sister and Younger Sister, the Sealing Talisman

Sorry, I don't sell in this shop.

While thoughts turned in his mind, Lu Xun refused the middle-aged man's purchase offer.

Boss, there's no need to refuse so quickly; how about we add another bottle of Jia Clan's Condensing Yuan Pill or Opening Aperture Pill?

The middle-aged man did not give up, and increased the conditions again.

Jia Clan's Condensing Yuan Pill or Opening Aperture Pill!

If a cultivator at the peak of the Second Realm heard about these two pills, their breathing would become hurried.

A cultivator at the Second Realm wants to break through to the Third Realm, but it's not that easy.

Some with average talent, stuck at the peak of the Second Realm for many years, find it hard to break through.

At this point, if aided by Condensing Yuan Pill or Opening Aperture Pill, the success rate would greatly increase.

Condensing Yuan Pill is for Immortal Cultivators; it also has another name, Foundation Establishment Pill.

The Third Realm of the Immortal Dao, the Condensing Yuan Realm, is also called the Foundation Establishment Realm.

This realm is crucial; once broken through, one can be considered a top figure among cultivators.

In the Martial Dao, the Third Realm is Opening Aperture; Opening Aperture Pill likewise makes breakthrough easier.

These two pills are standard Third Grade Pills; even with slightly better quality, their prices are extremely high.

The Condensing Yuan or Opening Aperture Pill from the Jia Clan Group sells for astronomical prices and is hard to obtain.

Now, for a mere Star Moon Pavilion, they're actually willing to bring out a bottle!

Really, is this a grudge match?

Lu Xun now felt even more certain that Bai Ling and the Jia Clan Group probably had some grudge.

Across the way.

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he calmly waited for Lu Xun's reply.

Looking at him, it seemed he was certain Lu Xun would be tempted.

After all, those are the Condensing Yuan and Opening Aperture Pills produced by the Jia Clan Group.

Sorry, I don't sell in this shop.

What surprised the middle-aged man was that Lu Xun refused again.

Fifty thousand Dark Energy plus the pills; if you're willing to transfer, the Dark Energy can be in your account today!

The middle-aged man increased the price again.

I don't want to say the same thing a third time; please leave, sir.

Lu Xun didn't even think, just refused outright.

Fifty thousand Dark Energy is indeed an astronomical sum, but to Lu Xun now, it's still not impressive.

Besides, this shop was left to Chu Youqing by Murong Yan; although Chu Youqing handed all decision-making authority to Lu Xun, he wouldn't just sell it like that.

Boss, won't you consider it again?

The middle-aged man's face darkened.

I think I've already made myself clear.

Lu Xun's expression turned cold as he said lightly.

Just refusing twice and putting on a cold face—who's afraid of whom?

After sizing up Lu Xun's face with a few glances, the middle-aged man gave a light snort and turned to leave.

Soon, he returned to the Jia Clan Medicinal shop across the way.

Boss, thanks; I was really worried you'd agree to them.

After the middle-aged man left, Bai Ling came out from behind, saying gratefully.

I've already promised you, so I won't go back on my word; focus on your alchemy, don't overwork yourself.

Mm!

Bai Ling nodded heavily.

On the other side, the third floor of the Jia Clan Medicinal shop.

The middle-aged man who had just arrived at the Star Moon Pavilion returned here.

Third Miss, things didn't work out; the owner of the Star Moon Pavilion won't sell.

The middle-aged man came before a woman in her twenties with a lotus-like face and willow-leaf eyebrows, and respectfully lowered his head to report.

Not selling?

The Third Miss slowly lifted her head, her slender fingers lightly tapping the tabletop.

Yes, Third Miss, he won't sell; I raised the price twice, never expecting him to be so ungrateful!

The middle-aged man said through gritted teeth.

Fifty thousand Dark Energy plus a bottle of Foundation Establishment Pill doesn't move him... Manager Li, go investigate, find out who this person is, then think of a way to contact the landlord, offer a high price to get them to break the lease and drive them out.

Yes, Miss.

The middle-aged man went downstairs.

After he left, the Third Miss came to the window and, looking through the glass, gazed at the Star Moon Pavilion across the way.

Whoosh~

At the left side of the first floor of the Star Moon Pavilion, the Spiritual Pill Pavilion's two clerks opened the door.

Wow, the door's open, the door's open.

Good thing I've been guarding here.

Those who had been guarding outside were overjoyed, rushing in like a flood into the Spiritual Pill Pavilion.

Even those who had originally intended to go to the Jia Clan Medicinal shop turned around and chose the Spiritual Pill Pavilion instead.

Miss, her meridian isn't ruined, why is she still so powerful?

Beside the Third Miss, a maid asked cautiously.

After the High Martial Era arrived, the gap between people grew ever larger.

In some great clans, roles such as maids and servants have revived once again.

No matter how strong, she could never refine a third-grade pill in her lifetime; she's just a wild bastard born of a wild woman, how could she compare to our Third Miss...

Another maid interjected.

Enough.

The Third Miss's words made the two maids hastily shut their mouths.

After staring at the Spirit Pill Pavilion for a long time, the Third Miss finally saw a familiar figure.

The corner of her mouth twitched up, revealing a cold smile: 'My good younger sister, instead of hiding properly, you deliberately came here... just to prove yourself to whom?'

Meanwhile, in the Star Moon Pavilion.

After receiving a message, Lu Xun hurriedly left.

He family members want to challenge me?

Yes, Lu Xun, reportedly He Xiao's cousin, named He Qiang; he just entered his fourth year, after half a year of closed-door cultivation, he just broke through to the Third Realm the day before yesterday, wanting to vent for He Xiao.

Third Realm?

How else could one say the He family is shameless? They're already in their fourth year, yet still at the Third Realm, and dare to challenge a first-year newcomer at the Second Realm.

On the phone, Li Bu Fan explained the situation.

At Beidou University, someone placed a bet of a hundred thousand Dark Energy to challenge Lu Xun.

As long as Lu Xun defeats him, he can take away a hundred thousand Dark Energy.

This matter caused considerable attention and discussion at Beidou University.

On the campus network, many students discussed whether Lu Xun would accept He Qiang's challenge.

Without the Heaven Earth Meridian, how could he break through to the Third Realm so quickly?

He Qiang's situation also spread across the campus network.

Despite not having opened the Heaven Earth Meridian, he actually broke through to the Third Realm in his fourth year.

Nevertheless, the gap between great realms is like heaven and earth; He Qiang's strength far exceeds what a Second Realm cultivator can match.

He is very arrogant, personally posting a challenge letter on the campus network and guarding the fighting stage.

Such behavior attracted many onlookers from among the students.

If you want war, then let's war!

After Lu Xun fully understood the situation, he directly gave his reply beneath the challenge letter.

Just a mere Third Realm.

If it were a genius who had opened the Heaven Earth Meridian, Lu Xun might still consider it.

He doesn't even have the Heaven Earth Meridian; Lu Xun couldn't care less about him.

To be fair, the He family is indeed thriving in population.

He Xiao counts as one of the youngest geniuses, and He Qiang isn't too weak either.

There is also a cultivator named He Huan, a genius; the He family originally wanted to marry him to Chu Youqing to produce more offspring with spiritual roots.

The He family not only has many talents, but also petty minds.

The younger generation stops at nothing to bully the weaker with their greater strength, while the older generation secretly posts assassination commissions on the dark net, seeking Lu Xun's life.

If that is the case,

then don't blame Lu Xun for being impolite.

After replying to the challenge letter, Lu Xun quickly walked toward the school.

Let him see just how many tricks He Qiang really has.

Meow~

In his arms, Xiao Bai's ears suddenly perked up, emitting an alert cry.

Not right.

Lu Xun stopped, and with a flick of his hands, several spirit talismans began to swirl around him.

These are defensive spirit talismans he drew in his spare time; given his slight skill in talisman calligraphy, their defensive power isn't strong, but something is better than nothing.

Lu Xun's gaze swept over the surroundings.

The previously bustling noise has now vanished.

The surrounding scenery also became blurry.

It was as if,

Lu Xun felt as though he had been cut off from the world.

Boundary!

Lu Xun whispered.

This should be a boundary.

A boundary is a type of formation, more popular in the West because it is easier to deploy via magic.

Many magicians' boundaries can directly isolate people in the midst of a bustling city.

Papapa~

Applause sounded.

Not bad insight; no wonder you're a famed genius of Beidou University—my boundary talisman worth several tens of millions each is not wasted on you.

Accompanying the applause was a person dressed plainly, resembling an ordinary passerby.
