Start flat, cut off the wife of the five-star empress

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and looked deeply at the Nascent Soul Stage elder, "I will be careful."

"I will not let anyone harm my companions and sect."

Lu Yuan took Su Liyan's hand and hurriedly left the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion Medicine Garden.

The quarrel just made him feel a little angry, but he knew that this was not the time to resolve the dispute. What was more important was to protect Su Liyan's safety.

They came to a quiet grove. Lu Yuan let go of Su Liyan's hand, took a deep breath, and calmed down.

He told her softly: "Don't worry, I will protect you."

Su Liyan nodded shyly. She knew that Lu Yuan was a person who was truly capable of protecting herself and the sect.

She felt lucky to be the companion of such a man.

"We should get out of these woods."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.

At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came: "Hahaha, Master Lu is really brave!"

"How dare you reject me, Zhou Jiewen!"

"Do you think you can speak freely now that you have a little fame?"

Lu Yuan stopped and turned to look in the direction of the sound.

He saw a young man with an arrogant and confident face looking down at them.

"Are you Zhou Jiwen?"

Lu Yuan asked, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Yes! I am Zhou Jiewen!"

He smiled proudly, "But you can call me Nanzhou Sword Demon!"

Su Liyan frowned. She knew that Zhou Jiewen was a disciple of the Nanzhou Sword Sect, and his swordsmanship was quite advanced and terrifying.

But she also believed that Lu Yuan would never be defeated easily.

"Let me tell you something."

Lu Yuan said with a straight face, "There are more powerful beings in this world than the Nanzhou Sword Sect."

"It is true that I have just gained a little fame, but my strength cannot be underestimated!"

"Hmph, that's true."

Zhou Jiewen laughed and said, "I want to see what you are capable of!"

After saying that, he moved and a long sword appeared in his hand.

The pressure emanating from the sword made the air nearby seem to be crushed.

Seeing Zhou Jiewen's approaching figure, Lu Yuan did not panic.

He secretly circulated the true energy in his body and recited silently in his heart: "Five Elements Dunjia".

Suddenly, his figure turned into a shadow and he nimbly dodged Zhou Jiewen's sword energy.

"You really have some strength."

Zhou Jiewen smiled disdainfully and quickly pursued Lu Yuan.

At this moment, Lu Yuan suddenly stopped and raised his arm with a smile.

A powerful sword intent was released from his hand, forming a flying sword.

The flying sword exuded a thunderous power that no one dared to despise.

"Tiangang Thunder Fire Sword!" Lu Yuan shouted in a low voice.

The flying sword shot towards Zhou Jiewen like lightning, so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly.

Zhou Jiewen was caught off guard and was stunned.

The flying sword stopped just inches away from his throat, lingering with thunder and fire.

"Tell your Nanzhou Sword Sect not to mess with me again."

Lu Yuan said coldly, "Otherwise, I guarantee you will regret it!"

Zhou Jiewen felt the breath of death all over his body and was scared to death. He nodded repeatedly and said with a trembling voice: "Yes, yes! Master, spare your life!"

"I will never mess with you again! Absolutely!"

Lu Yuan slowly retracted his flying sword, gave him a cold look, then turned and left.

He knew that the problem was temporarily solved today, but Nanzhou Sword Sect was a huge force and would not let it go.

Lu Yuan set up a simple grill in front of the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion's dormitory, and he was busy processing a piece of rare spiritual beast meat.

The flames reflected on his face, giving him a warm and focused look.

The surrounding disciples were curious about what he was doing and gathered around to ask him what he was going to do.

Su Liyan also came over and curiously asked Lu Yuan how he planned to use this piece of spiritual beast meat.

Lu Yuan smiled and replied: "I plan to use this piece of spiritual beast meat to entertain my fellow disciples and enhance the friendship between us."

Hong Litian also joined them and provided Lu Yuan with a specially made elixir fire.

The elixir fire burned blazingly, jumping in the flames.

The flames roasted the spirit beast meat to create an alluring aroma. After taking a bite, Hong Laitian and Su Liyan both expressed their approval of Lu Yuan's craftsmanship.

They found that after tasting it, they felt an increase in strength within their bodies.

Su Liyan asked curiously: "How can this piece of spiritual beast meat be of such great benefit to us?"

Lu Yuan explained with a smile: "The aura and energy contained in this piece of spiritual beast meat can enhance the monk's physical fitness."

"Especially those disciples who contain trace amounts of demonic energy will be able to unleash their potential strength after eating it."

Soon, more and more disciples were attracted by the attractive aroma and came to participate.

Hong Litian and Su Liyan not only expressed their appreciation for Lu Yuan's craftsmanship, but also told others that the spirit beast meat was beneficial to their cultivation.

Everyone's appetite was aroused and they all took a bite.

Zi Xi'er also ran over and looked at Lu Yuan with bright eyes: "Master Lu, I heard that you are very good at cooking!"

"I want to try it too."

Lu Yuan smiled and said: "Of course!"

"Please also ask Miss Zi to taste my craftsmanship."

So, with everyone's expectations, Lu Yuan began to prepare food for them.

He indulged himself in his unique cooking skills and use of magical powers.

Everyone sat together and enjoyed the gourmet meal prepared by Lu Yuan.

Every dish is carefully prepared and exudes an enticing aroma.

While enjoying the delicious food, everyone couldn't help but start chatting about their recent spiritual practice experiences and confusions they encountered.

Lu Yuan mentioned that during the recent assessment, he found that many people contained trace amounts of demonic energy, which made him worried.

He implored everyone to strengthen the review of their own practice and to always resist the erosion of evil forces.

Su Liyan nodded in agreement and added: "We should supervise each other and jointly create a pure cultivation environment."

"Only in this way can we protect the dignity of our Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion."

As night fell, the Leihuo Dan Pavilion was silent and the door was closed.

In the dormitory, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan were concentrating on practicing their internal skills.

The quiet air was filled with rich spiritual energy. The two felt the improvement and breakthrough of their own strength, and silently prayed in their hearts to reach a higher level.

In the blink of an eye, several hours passed and it was already late at night.

Just when Lu Yuan and Su Liyan had reached the peak of their cultivation state, a sudden change occurred in the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion.

In the quiet peripheral area, a black shadow approached quietly, lurking in the darkness.

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded outside the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion.

The door was shaken open by a violent bang, and a darkness and stench filled the room instantly. (End of chapter)
