798. Chapter 796: Lending a Hand

"Your fist technique is not bad."

Lu Yuan broke the silence.

The young man stopped his action and turned his head to look at Lu Yuan.

A flash of surprise crossed his eyes. Afterwards he smiled and said, 'Thanks for the praise, I am Jiang Zhufeng.'

"I am Lu Yuan."

After they shook hands and exchanged pleasantries for a moment, Jiang Zhufeng asked, 'Are you also a cultivator?'

"How come you're in this small town?"

Lu Yuan nodded and said, 'I'm here to rest and study cultivation.'

"I just sensed the power within you and couldn't help but come over to take a look."

Jiang Zhufeng showed a hint of envy and said, 'I am also a cultivator; I happened to run into trouble near Chen Xiao Cheng and hope you can help me a bit.'

Lu Yuan felt a stir and asked, 'What's the problem?'

Jiang Zhufeng explained with a somewhat gloomy expression, 'My friend is trapped in a secret realm; I need your help to rescue him from inside.'

Lu Yuan didn't hesitate and firmly agreed, 'No problem, I'll help you.'

Seeing Lu Yuan's unreserved answer, Jiang Zhufeng couldn't help but sigh in relief, 'Thank you so much!'

Lu Yuan waved his hand, indicating no need for thanks, 'Don't be polite; as fellow cultivators we should help each other.'

To better support Jiang Zhufeng, Lu Yuan decided to display his strength in the secret realm.

On the night before entering the secret realm, Lu Yuan prepared some pills to deal with possible emergencies.

In the small formation area inside the house, he laid out the various materials needed for pill refinement.

After focusing his mind and calming his breath, Lu Yuan began to devote himself wholeheartedly to pill refining.

He silently recited the incantation, and as his fingers flew, the spiritual herbs and pill furnace collided, producing faint sounds.

An hour passed, and a rich fragrance filled the room.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and stored the carefully refined pills into his storage bag.

He finally checked his required equipment and treasures to ensure everything was flawless.

The next morning, Jiang Zhufeng and Lu Yuan stood at the entrance of the secret realm.

They took a deep breath and resolutely stepped forward.

After stepping into the secret realm, Lu Yuan immediately felt the rich spiritual energy surrounding him.

As far as the eye could see were endless mountains and dense forests.

As they proceeded, they occasionally encountered strange beasts and cultivators.

Lu Yuan, relying on his keen observation and the adaptability of the Five Elements Escape Technique, successfully saw through the enemy's trap and defused the hidden danger.

Jiang Zhufeng watched Lu Yuan handle various challenges with composure and couldn't help but admire him.

After continual travel, they finally found the place where Jiang Zhufeng was trapped.

In an ancient and massive cave, Jiang Zhufeng's companion had his eyes tightly shut, and a strong, majestic spiritual aura emanated from beside him.

Lu Yuan and Jiang Zhufeng exchanged an affirming glance and tacitly coordinated.

Lu Yuan wielded the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, transforming it into a lightning arc that struck above the cave entrance, while Jiang Zhufeng manipulated the Ice Crystal Long Whip to release freezing power, sealing the surrounding area.

As the cave entrance was blasted open, a blinding light shot up into the sky.

The entire secret realm trembled in response, as if answering their arrival.

Lu Yuan's mind was calm, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

At the moment several Nascent Soul Stage cultivators tried to ambush him, he displayed extraordinary calm and strength.

The opponents attempted to attack him with schemes and formations, but Lu Yuan, using his powerful spiritual sense, easily saw through their traps.

He quickly and accurately analyzed the situation before him, with schemes and battle strategies continually surfacing in his mind.

"These people really overestimate themselves."

Lu Yuan snorted coldly in his heart, his body instantly turning into a stream of light, nimbly weaving through the formation's encirclement.

He lightly raised his wrist, and the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword immediately blazed with abundant lightning power.

Streaks of electric arcs surged toward the opponents like lightning, carrying destructive force.

In just a few breaths, the entire battlefield seemed to be enveloped by lightning.

The attackers, coming with great force, could not approach Lu Yuan even half a step and were only driven back.

The deafening thunderclaps echoed across the battlefield, terrifying and shocking.

The opponents stared at Lu Yuan in astonishment, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Whether hiding in dark corners or concealing schemes behind the scenes, there was nothing hidden from Lu Yuan.

His spiritual sense could penetrate everything and see through everything.

The battle gradually drew to a close.

Lu Yuan remained composed and steady, showing no intention of holding back.

Each of his strikes drove the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword to release scorching energy, crushing the enemies.

The fleeting aura of the Nascent Soul cultivators spread across the ground.

When the last enemy fell, the members of the Blood Moon Sect had already been defeated by Lu Yuan to the point of losing their will to fight.

The bright, cold moonlight fell upon the battlefield, reflecting a scene of utter desolation.

Lu Yuan lifted his head, his gaze sweeping over the ruined land, his smile as warm as a spring breeze.

He could feel that all cultivators within Chen Xiao Cheng held reverence for him.

"I never expected that this tiny Chen Xiao Cheng would hide so many interesting figures."

Lu Yuan murmured to himself.

The battle just now has already demonstrated his invincible strength.

At this moment, the entire Chen Xiao Cheng has been stirred up with tumultuous waves.

Jiang Zhufeng stared at Lu Yuan, mouth agape, his heart filled with admiration and reverence.

"Lu Yuan is truly amazing!"

"I never expected that he, who has always been by my side, actually possesses such incredible ability."

After leaving the battlefield, Lu Yuan felt slightly dizzy, his memory began to become blurry.

He understood that this is a law of the Xiuzhen Jie; after displaying great strength, there will be a period where memory dissipates.

Just as Lu Yuan felt somewhat disheartened, a figure suddenly appeared before him.

It was True Lord Po Tian, his eyes sharp as he gazed at Lu Yuan, his face showing admiration.

"Lu Yuan, your strength has greatly increased, truly surprising me!"

"I previously thought you were just an ordinary person."

True Lord Po Tian's voice revealed a hint of envy and admiration.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he considered his strength exceptionally outstanding, also ranking among the excellent among the crowd.

But in the battle just now, Lu Yuan's performance clearly exceeded his expectations.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, expressing humility to True Lord Po Tian: "Thanks to True Lord observing the battle beside me, I was able to defeat the enemy smoothly."

True Lord Po Tian laughed: "Not at all, your strength is obtained through your own effort and talent."

"However, I've heard that your alchemy skills have also recently made a breakthrough; I don't know if it's true."

Lu Yuan nodded: "Yes, I recently gained new insight in alchemy."

"If True Lord is interested, I can share my insights with you."

True Lord Po Tian's eyes flashed with excitement: "Of course I'm interested!"

"Let's find a place to have a good discussion."

The two found a secluded place and landed. (End of chapter)
