Chapter 588: Everyone Wants Me to Teach
Zi Xi'er heard that name and involuntarily furrowed her brows, "Why are they attacking us?"
Mo Di sighed, his expression turning solemn.
"I suspect they came tracking you. Perhaps because you're connected to Lu Yuan."
Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan exchanged a glance, a chill rising in their hearts.
"Lu Yuan is still at the Lei Huo Dan Ge in Heavenly Wind City."
"We must leave Azure Rosy City as soon as possible and notify him."
Zi Xi'er said, determined.
Su Liyan tightly gripped the Cold Jade Ice Sheet, a flash of determination in her eyes.
"Mo Di, we need your help."
Mo Di nodded.
He knew as the Dragon Clan's crown prince, he had a duty to protect his two companions.
"Let's leave here first, find a safe place to discuss our plans," Mo Di proposed.
The three swiftly flew off in unison, heading away from Azure Rosy City.
Behind them, the black-clad figures watched their disappearing silhouettes, faces full of gloom and unwillingness.
In a concealed cave, Zi Xi'er, Su Liyan, and Mo Di sat in a circle, discussing the identity and purpose of the black-clad people.
"The Shadow Sect is a mysterious and powerful organization."
Mo Di showed a hint of worry in his brow, "They never act lightly; they must have a major goal."
"Perhaps they were guided by that mysterious old man," Su Liyan suggested.
Zi Xi'er furrowed her brows, "Who is that old man?"
"Why is he so interested in Lu Yuan?"
Mo Di pondered a moment, "I'm not sure either, but since she could sense Lu Yuan's potential, she must know something about him."
Zi Xi'er's gaze was firm, "No matter what, we cannot let the Shadow Sect succeed."
"We must protect Lu Yuan and uncover their true purpose."
"Yes."
Su Liyan clenched her fists, "Whoever it is, as long as they dare threaten our companions and team, we will protect them with all our might. The square gathered many cultivators, who reverently watched Lu Yuan, hoping to gain greater strength from him."
Zi Xi'er lightly pinched an ice crystal, brushing her finger across it.
A chill instantly released, forming a thin layer of frost around her body.
Sitting opposite Zi Xi'er, Lu Yuan watched her action, nodding slightly, "Good, you've grasped some essentials of the Ice Immortal Art."
"Keep it up, and soon you'll grasp the essence of this immortal art."
"Thank you, Lu Yuan!"
Zi Xi'er smiled in reply.
Although she was already skilled in the Ice Immortal Art, before Lu Yuan she always felt reverent.
At that moment, many cultivators gathered in the central square of Heavenly Wind City.
They reverently watched Lu Yuan, hoping to gain greater strength from him.
Lu Yuan waved the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand, continuously releasing the surging lightning power from the blade, forming a magnificent beam of light.
The cultivators stared agape, recognizing the power of the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword.
Lu Yuan patiently explained each movement and essential, personally demonstrating for everyone.
He shuttle back and forth across the square, his agile posture leaving everyone astonished.
The cultivators tried to imitate Lu Yuan's movements, but found it difficult to wield such lightning power.
They were both surprised and delighted, eagerly asking Lu Yuan for guidance.
Lu Yuan smiled as he guided them, tirelessly answering each question.
He felt proud and fulfilled, seeing these cultivators also improve their strength through his guidance.
Zi Xi'er sat aside, watching Lu Yuan's interaction with the cultivators.
She had always known Lu Yuan was intelligent and responsible, but today's scene reinforced that belief.
"Lu Yuan is truly impressive."
Su Liyan whispered in praise, "Not only in combat, his mastery of immortal arts is also profoundly deep."
Mo Di nodded in agreement, "Exactly, I've never seen anyone so proficient in both these immortal arts."
"Although the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword and Ice Immortal Art are utterly different, in Lu Yuan's hands they can unleash such astonishing power."
"Indeed."
Zi Xi'er smiled and said, "Lu Yuan should be pleased to see these cultivators benefiting from his guidance." Lu Yuan felt an indescribable excitement and anticipation, for he had unintentionally discovered a scattered ancient text in the city's Shu Ge Pavilion.
This ancient text recorded formulas for some rare spirit medicines, which for cultivators is nearly a priceless treasure.
Lu Yuan carefully opened the cover, his eyes focused as he searched the insect‑cobweb‑filled, yellowed pages for relevant information.
Each page recorded precious spirit‑medicine formulas and their preparation, making his heart surge.
He immersed himself in the Record of Marvelous Spirit Herbs, forgetting everything around him.
Time seemed to stand still as he read and pondered with concentration.
At this moment, Lu Yuan felt as if he had entered a vast, mysterious world.
He could sense the power contained in these spirit medicines, pure and immense.
If such precious things could be mastered in his hands, they would bring him great benefit.
"Although the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword is formidable, if combined with a special spirit medicine its power would reach a whole new level," Lu Yuan mused to himself.
He pondered the spirit‑medicine formulas before him, constantly considering how to integrate his mastered immortal arts with these herbs.
Suddenly, a wave of inspiration surged into his heart.
"Exactly!"
"If one uses elixirs made from this spiritual medicine, the speed of the Cloud Walking Technique can be increased!"
Lu Yuan was excited beyond measure; he had always adhered to the cultivation philosophy of the Great Dao Circulation, believing that only through constant breakthroughs and comprehension could he draw closer to the Great Dao.
These spiritual medicine formulas gave him more possibilities and opportunities.
Lu Yuan continued to focus on perusing the contents of ancient texts, seeking the great secrets hidden within.
He discovered that although the 'Spiritual Herb Rare Treasure Record' was fragmentary and missing pages, every page recorded was a priceless treasure.
Zi Xi'er walked into the Shu Ge and saw Lu Yuan immersed in ancient texts, painstakingly searching for information.
She stood quietly to the side, gazing at Lu Yuan's focused and longing eyes.
"Lu Yuan, have you found any treasures?" Zi Xi'er asked curiously.
Lu Yuan raised his head, showing a delighted smile, and said, "Zi Xi'er, I have discovered an ancient text that records spiritual medicine formulas!"
"This is a priceless treasure!"
"If I can master these formulas, I believe my strength will reach a new level."
A flicker of joy and pride flashed in Zi Xi'er's eyes; she had grown accustomed to Lu Yuan's constant self‑transcendence and felt proud of him.
"Then keep reading; if you need any help, just tell me." Zi Xi'er said gently. (End of chapter)
