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

"After obtaining this treasure, I have passed the message to the top leaders of the Ziyun family through the auction house manager to confirm that our cooperative relationship with them is still strong."

Lu Yuan was obviously relieved when he heard this.

"That's good. At least we didn't leave the family in vain."

Lu Yuan left the room where Su Liyan was and happily came to a hotel in Chenxiao City to stay temporarily.

He leaned against the head of the bed, his thoughts returning to the rumor he had just overheard about a young calligrapher and painter named Ning Mo. Although this man did not practice Taoism, he was able to touch the power of heaven through calligraphy and painting.

Lu Yuan was full of curiosity about this situation.

He sat up, thinking that if it was true as the rumors said, it would not be a bad idea to communicate with him about art and spiritual practice.

So, Lu Yuan decided to go and find out.

After entering the calligraphy and painting room where Ning Mo was, Lu Yuan was immediately attracted by the atmosphere of the room immersed in art.

He saw Ning Mo concentrating on creating a landscape painting.

Lu Yuan quietly appreciated the flow of clouds, mountains and flowing water in Ning Mo's painting.

At this time, Ning Mo also noticed Lu Yuan's appearance.

After the two exchanged glances, Ning Mo motioned Lu Yuan to come over and sit down.

"Are you Ning Mo?"

"I heard that you can touch the power of heaven through calligraphy and painting."

Lu Yuan's curiosity about Ning Mo's artistic attainments was evident.

Ning Mo smiled and nodded: "Yes, this rumor is not without basis."

"But I have never touched the magic of cultivating immortality."

Lu Yuan exclaimed: "The wonderful connection between immortality and art is really amazing."

The two began to exchange experiences in art and spiritual practice.

Lu Yuan explained to Ning Mo the similarities between the cultivation of immortals and the art of calligraphy and painting, and gave Ning Mo some pointers on how to improve his calligraphy and painting skills.

In full view of the public, Lu Yuan and Ning Mo admired each other's gifts and talents.

The onlookers were talking about this, and for these two geniuses, their exchange seemed very fascinating.

Ning Mo also deeply felt that he should focus on calligraphy and painting.

He believes that communicating with Lu Yuan has broadened his horizons and made him more aware of how to better develop his artistic talents.

The next morning, Lu Yuan said goodbye to Ning Mo, and was impressed by the beauty of the communication between art and spiritual practice.

They expressed deep respect for each other and hoped to have the opportunity to meet again.

As Lu Yuan strolled through the city, he occasionally heard passers-by talking about rumors about himself.

Some say that he possesses magical powers that can control the power of heaven and earth; others say that he is a lonely and arrogant ascetic who is unwilling to come into contact with mortals; others say that he is a kind and smart businessman who runs the Leihuo Dan Pavilion.

However, Lu Yuan did not take these rumors to heart.

He knew that he had embarked on an unusual path of cultivation, which was bound to attract a lot of discussion and speculation.

As a sadhu, he has transcended the pleasures and pains of the mundane world.

Regarding external comments, he only chooses to keep the most real and quiet heart.

The Ziyun family has already prepared the necessary supplies for him.

This was a grateful help for Lu Yuan. In such a strange and dangerous world, he was not alone.

Although Lu Yuan understood that there might be people outside who were secretly coveting his power and trying to stop and seize it from him.

However, he did not want to confront it head-on.

"Move quickly and try to avoid confrontation with the enemy."

Lu Yuan silently recited his motto in his heart.

Therefore, he decided not to stay in the city and flew directly to the direction of Leihuo Dan Pavilion. Taking advantage of the morning sun shining on the earth, Lu Yuan suddenly took off.

He flew across the sky at an extraordinary speed, surprising all his followers.

However, not everyone in this strange territory welcomed his arrival.

The disciples of the Ghost Sect took advantage of the situation and tried to surround Lu Yuan and attack him.

They hope to expand the sect's reputation and influence by eliminating Lu Yuan.

Faced with such a siege, Lu Yuan showed no weakness and displayed powerful defensive measures.

He used his advanced magical skills, the "Five Elements Escape" and the "Tian Gang Big Dipper Formation" to quickly resolve the attacks of the Ghost Sect disciples.

Lightning movie, drawing beautiful sparks in the sky.

This fierce battle finally attracted the attention of Master Potian.

He is an important figure among the nearby warlords and an ally of the Ghost Sect.

"This kind of strength is extraordinary." True Lord Potian couldn't help but marvel.

He didn't want to engage in an open conflict with Lu Yuan because he knew it would be a meaningless battle.

Lu Yuan's powerful strength was beyond his ability to resist.

So, True Lord Potian secretly let Lu Yuan go.

At the same time, he also warned the disciples of the Ghost Sect to give up confronting Lu Yuan.

After returning safely to Leihuodan Pavilion, Lu Yuan stepped into the pavilion happily, where Zi Cuiling was waiting.

She looked at Lu Yuan with concern, asked about the whole process, and expressed both approval and concern to him.

"That's great, Lu Yuan!"

Zi Cuiling exclaimed, "Not only did you successfully repel the attack from the Ghost Sect, you also demonstrated powerful defensive methods."

"Your skills in immortal magic are truly extraordinary."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, feeling her affirmation and concern for him.

"Thank you for your praise, Miss Zi Cuiling."

"Although the attack from the Ghost Sect was dangerous, I successfully neutralized their attack by using the 'Five Elements Escape Armor' and the 'Heavenly Big Dipper Formation'."

"You are really amazing."

Zi Cuiling said with emotion, "But I am also worried about you."

"After all, the Ghost Sect is very powerful, and they have begun to covet your power."

Lu Yuan answered resolutely: "I understand this, and I have already chosen my target."

"I will work tirelessly for this and strive to improve myself so that I can cope with the more arduous path of cultivation in the future."

Zi Cuiling was thinking silently, her thoughts racing.

She realized that Lu Yuan's perseverance and determination were real and profound, which made her re-examine her understanding of spiritual practice and family responsibility.

"Lu Yuan, your choice and persistence have given me new inspiration."

Zi Cuiling said with emotion, "I have always thought that cultivation is only for protecting the family and saving the world, but after experiencing these dangers with you, I realized that cultivation is also a wonderful and wonderful experience."

She looked at Lu Yuan and reached out and patted his shoulder gently.

“Thank you for giving me such inspiration and energy.”

"No matter what the future holds, I believe you will achieve greater success. Best wishes to you, Lu Yuan."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and felt Zi Cuiling's sincere blessings.

"Thank you, Miss Zi Cuiling."

"Your support and understanding mean a lot to me." (End of this chapter)
