2 The Door to Door Withdrawal

"Damn, who the hell do you think you are! How dare mere trash to treat me so rudely!" Han Zhiyun reacted and stomped her foot viciously, her face full of displeasure.

"I'll see what you'll do when you withdraw later!"

Returning home, Lu Xuan silently pondered on the matter of cultivation.

"Heavenly Heart Flower Wearing Snow Lotus. Alright, just these ten herbs." Lu Xuan tossed around the family warehouse for a moment, looking at the ten materials placed on the floor and faintly saying.

These ten herbs made none other than a 3,000-year-old medicine, the Breaking Barrier Pill, used to improve the physique and expand the meridians.

Lu Xuan's body was too weak.

An ordinary martial artist would have at least six meridians.

And Lu Xuan only had two, no wonder he was stuck at the second level of mortal life, unable to advance an inch.

So the Barrier Breaker Pill couldn't be more appropriate for him right now.

After returning to his room and instructing his servants not to be disturbed, Lu Xuan began to refine the pills.

For someone at Lu Xuan's level, alchemy was simply as simple as eating and drinking water.

"Done."

A white, smooth, flawless pellet appeared in Lu Xuan's hand, glittering and faintly emitting a burst of medicinal fragrance.

Fourth-grade pills.

"Unfortunately, with my current meager cultivation, I can only refine this kind of pill at the moment."

Lu Xuan scoffed to himself and no longer hesitated, taking it right then and there.

The elixir went into his throat, instantly turning into a majestic and pure cloud of aura that filled Lu Xuan's body.

Lu Xuan was too old and had already missed the best time to cultivate, and many of his meridians had been clogged due to his previous extensive use of unorthodox pills.

It could be said that Lu Xuan's body was like a mesh sieve with a thousand holes, and no matter how much spiritual energy was infused into it, it would leak out in the shortest amount of time.

And the Barrier Breaker Pill just made up for it. The majestic spiritual energy instantly nourished Lu Xuan's riddled body.

At the same time, Lu Xuan's realm was climbing steadily.

Mortal life second level!

Mortal life three levels!

Mortal Life 4th level!

Lu Xuan was able to stay above the 5th level of Mortal Life.

"Not bad." Lu Xuan looked at his smooth, jade-like hands, his face finally showing a happy expression.

After the Breaking Barrier Pill, not only will it allow him to quickly upgrade, but it will also allow him to rebuild his body.

The secret wounds that were previously cultivated, as well as the Pill Poison, had long since disappeared without a trace, and the meridians had been reopened to six, reaching the level of an ordinary person.

Hoo, with a few large breaths, the fifth level of Mortal Life was finally stabilized by Lu Xuan, but before two breaths had passed, Lu Xuan's realm was like a leaky ball that leaked all the way down to the first level of Mortal Life before stopping.

Backward instead of forward!

It was a great taboo for a martial artist to regress in strength, and in the face of such a situation, Lu Xuan wasn't surprised, instead, his eyes were slightly delighted.

"As expected, this Immortal Secrets of Immortality is different."

Ordinary mortal life cultivators could only increase their strength by a hundred pounds for each level of advancement, but Lu Xuan was able to increase his strength by two hundred pounds for each level of advancement!

Lu Xuan's predecessor was practicing the most common mundane technique in the Star Continent, and his progress was slow, not to mention his upper limit was low, so he had to find another technique when he reached the Xuan Life realm.

The current Immortal Secrets of Immortality, on the other hand, was a technique that came with the Xuanhuang Pearl, which was divided into nine levels and had no grades, but its power was not insignificant.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about relearning his previous life, but he was as strong as a pinnacle. He was still beaten and almost destroyed by the peak, and even if he repaired and started over, he might not be able to defeat his former enemies.

Without the test, Lu Xuan's heart was still a bit apprehensive. Fortunately, the results didn't disappoint him.

After changing the Immortal Immortal Secrets, his dantian, which was originally only the size of a thumb, instantly expanded to the size of a fist, and held several times more aura, not to mention that he was now only at the first level of Mortal Life, but in terms of true qi alone, it was probably three points stronger than the seventh or eighth level of Mortal Life.

Together with his original insight and vision, he was nearly invincible in the Nine Realms of Mortal Life!

"Xuan'er, Yun'er has come to visit, come out and greet her." Outside the door, Lu Shan's voice was heard.

"Got it." Lu Xuan responded, tidying up the room and pushing the door open.

Outside the door, Lu Shan was sitting in a chair, baring a dry cigarette.

Lu Xuan's eyes unconsciously softened as he looked at Lu Shan.

Father is a strange and familiar name.

In his previous life, when both of his parents had died young, Lu Xuan hadn't enjoyed much affection, leading him to later become a Taoist couple with Qinglian before he was plotted against.

Remembering what Lu Shan had done for him, Lu Xuan hesitated for a moment, dryly uttering words he hadn't spoken in nearly thousands of years: "Father."

"Xuan'er." Lu Shan saw that his son had already come out and also put away his drought cigarette, saying in a deep voice, "Yun'er has been waiting at the door for a long time, saying that the Han family has invited us and our father and son for a banquet, so it's not a good visit."

Lu Shan realized what was going on, and couldn't help but feel a little worried about his son's future.

"No harm, a bunch of jumping clowns are just clowns." Lu Xuan didn't care.

Seeing Lu Xuan's calm and relaxed appearance, Lu Shan was surprised, he knew his son all too well.

The rotten mud won't help the wall, talking about people like Lu Xuan.

But now, he was able to say such overbearing words, and, from what his servants said, Lu Xuan had even taken the initiative to ask for cultivation.

Could it be that his son is finally getting the hang of it?

"Indeed, a bunch of jumping clowns is just a bunch of clowns, and the Han Clan thinks that an outer disciple of the Returning Cloud Sect will be able to counteract our Lu Clan. A big joke, unless it's an inner disciple, no matter what, it won't be able to shake our Lu Family's foundation!" As if infected by Lu Xuan, Lu Shan spoke with an unstoppable dominance.

When they walked out the door, Han Zhiyun's maid had been waiting at the door for a long time, and the three of them looked at each other without saying much.

The maid then led the two of them, all the way to Han's house.

Many people were pointing behind them along the way.

"Have you heard? The Lu family's son seems to be getting divorced by Miss Han!"

"Yes, Miss Han has been chosen by the Returning Cloud Sect and is leaving the Lu family to go on her own."

"That's not true, the Returning Cloud Sect is the most famous sect in the empire, how can a small Lu family lock her up, this is going to be a good show."

It seemed that the story of the Han family had already spread like wildfire, and everyone was waiting to see Lu Xuan's joke.

Listening to the words of the crowd, Lu Xuan's face was calm and ancient, as if the person in question was not him, instead Lu Shan's face showed some contained anger.

The Han family had grown to be what it is today thanks to the Lu family, and now it was too ungenerous to try to fly solo.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Shan and Lu Xuan entered the Han family compound.

There weren't many people seen along the way.

"Huh? What a rack!" Lu Shan's face was unhappy, normally when he came to the Han family as a guest, all of them were respectful and stood at the door smiling to greet him.

And now, there are no servants to see!

It was so patronizing!

Forcing down his anger, Lu Shan came to the main hall.

At this time, everyone in the Han family had gathered, and Han Zhantian, the head of the Han family, sat high on the throne, looking down on Lu Shan and Lu Xuan who had just walked in.

Han family members were sitting or standing around, and this time the main character, Han Zhiyun, stood quietly with her head hung down, rather like a lady's daughter.

"Landlord, don't be surprised." Han Zhantian said so on his lips, but the banter was in full view.

"Hmph, Han Zhantian, how dare you, do you not think that you can do whatever you want just because you're close to the Returning Cloud Sect?" Lu Shan narrowed his eyes, the veins on his arms bulging slightly, clearly angry to the extreme.

"Where are the words, little girl merely happened to pass the test of the Returning Cloud Sect, it's nothing." Han Zhantian was quite proud of himself, completely villainous.

"You went to the trouble of inviting us over today, you wouldn't be doing it just to show off this matter, would you." Inside the hall, there were many outsiders, all of whom were the more senior squires of Wushan Town.

"Of course not." Han Zhantian stood up and arched his hands in front of everyone present, "Today, Han has two important announcements to make."

"First, little girl Han Zhiyun managed to pass the test of the Returning Cloud Sect and became a part of it."

"Secondly, the marriage contract between the Han and Lu families is hereby canceled."

When he said the first sentence, there was no reaction as they had all received the news in advance, but when Han Zhantian mentioned the second point, all the squires, like a frying pan, were in an uproar.

"Shameless villain who fattened on his word!"

"It's a family misfortune for Wushan Town to have a family like yours!"

"If the Lu family hadn't been kind enough to give you a hand, would your Han family be where you are today?"

"How can a mere outer disciple be so arrogant and defiant?"

There were many people in the town of Wu Shan who had received favors from the Lu family, and although they didn't like Lu Xuan, the unlearned dude, they had real respect for Lu Shan's character, and they were the ones who, in the first place, had tried hard to bring about this marriage.

Now that the Han family has unilaterally broken the contract, it's tantamount to slapping them in the face.

Crowd agitation, looking at Han Zhantian who was being verbally attacked by the gentry, Lu Shan didn't say anything, he already expected this kind of ending, currently, the Lu family is as strong as ever in Wushan Town, the gentry naturally leaned on the Lu family, the small Han family even if they were close to the Returning Cloud Sect's big... Even the legs can't do anything about the land family.

But, some clever people didn't denounce the Han family vocally, Han Zhantian could be the head of the family, so naturally, he wasn't a fool, and he must have his own bottom line for saying this!

As expected, only Han Zhantian smiled faintly, "Don't get excited, everyone, Han forgot to explain at the beginning that the test that little girl passed wasn't the test of an outer disciple, but the test of the Sect Master's great disciple!"

The squires, who had been making a lot of noise, opened their mouths wide like ducks with their throats strangled. Ba, but he couldn't say half a word.

A great disciple?
