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

"Ok?"

"This is?"

A moment later, Lu Yuan came to a valley.

His pupils shrank sharply and his face was filled with shock.

I saw.

Taoist symbols are engraved on each piece of bluestone.

Under the sunlight, it reveals a faint glow.

In this valley, there is a medicinal garden where many exotic flowers are planted.

In particular, what attracts the most attention is a giant tree.

This tree is a hundred feet tall, with lush branches and leaves.

Its trunk is straight and strong, like a real dragon with its head held high, as if it is about to break through the sky.

Wow!
The treetops cast thousands of green shadows, covering the entire medicinal garden.

Moreover, Lu Yuan had a keen sense and he clearly smelled the strong aroma of medicine.

This scene is extremely dreamy!

Rumble!
Suddenly, the ground shook.

The giant tree seemed to be stimulated by something and suddenly grew taller, with its branches extending out and sweeping towards Lu Yuan.

Bang!
In just a moment, the main trunk came whipping like a spear, smashing down fiercely.

"So strong!"

At this moment, Lu Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly used the sword-controlling technique to chop at the main trunk.

Click!

The sword-wielding technique was so sharp that it failed to damage the trunk at all.

Instead, the sword-controlling technique was bounced away and the sword energy dissipated.

"Ok?"

Seeing this, Lu Yuan's eyelids jumped.

Just now, he had tried his best, but it was still of no avail.

"It seems that I am the only one who has to use my killing move!"

Take a deep breath.

"Sword Technique - Split Mountains and Rivers!"

Lu Yuan shouted.

Rumble!
Suddenly, rumbling thunder burst out from his body, his blood surged and boiled, and his powerful aura rose into the sky like a wolf smoke.

next moment.

A layer of red scales appeared on the surface of his right arm, shining with a crystal luster, and a faint shadow of a dragon could be seen flickering.

scoff!

He clenched his palm into a claw, grasped the thick trunk, and tore it apart violently.

boom!
A shrill roar was heard, accompanied by a cluster of purple droplets falling, and the main trunk exploded, turning into a diffuse purple light.

Purple cloud ginseng, completely scrapped!

The five fingers of Lu Yuan's right hand were also stained with blood, which was shocking to see.

"Humph!"

"It's just a purple cloud ginseng. After I devour my ancestor's divine fetus, am I still afraid that there won't be better herbs?"

He wiped the blood off his palm.

The ferocity in Lu Yuan's eyes grew even stronger.

He looked at the purple cloud ginseng, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a hideous smile, and turned around to leave.

But at this moment.

hum!
The void trembled.

A terrifying pressure spread.

"Ok?"

Lu Yuan stopped abruptly and looked up.

All I saw was the void twisting.

Two blurry black spots emerged and gradually became clear. They turned out to be two burly men with murderous aura all over their bodies. Their eyes were as cold as two sharp blades.

"Who are you?"

"Why are you blocking my way?"

Lu Yuan frowned.

Although he did not recognize the two people opposite him, he was able to sense a dangerous aura due to his strong martial arts skills.

"Hey hey... little bastard!"

One of the big men grinned and said, "You stole the Purple Cloud Ginseng from Lingyun County, and you dare to ask who I am?"

"Just wait for your death!"

The words have not yet fallen.

Boom!

Another big man has already taken a step forward, like a bull trampling the earth, wild and domineering.

"As expected of two high-level martial artists!"

"Their aura is much stronger than that of ordinary ninth-grade warriors..."

Lu Yuan's expression turned serious. "Get out of here!"

He shouted angrily, and his fist roared like a roaring dragon, and rushed straight towards the two of them.

Bang!
The two burly men's eyes lit up, and they also waved their fists and rushed forward.

boom!
The three collided.

Ding Ding Deng!
The two strong men took several steps back. With every step, the ground cracked and left a deep footprint.

"what?"

The two of them turned pale.

Although they were not injured, the blood and energy in their bodies were shaking violently.

In particular, they felt a strong gust of air rushing towards them, making their throats taste fishy and sweet.

"Damn it!"

"How can he be so powerful? Could he be a ninth-rank martial artist?"

The two men gnashed their teeth, looking fearful.

Ninth-grade martial artist!

Even in the county town, he is considered a strong man and possesses great power!

"Quickly notify Steward Wang and ask him to come and suppress the situation..."

The two burly men cried out, with a hint of panic in their eyes.

"late!"

Suddenly, an indifferent voice was heard, like a thunderous explosion.

Immediately afterwards, a bright silver light streaked across the night sky, instantly crossing a distance of a hundred meters and slamming into the chests of the two men!
Puff!

Two golden darts pierced through the backs of the two men and were nailed into the soil.

The two big men's eyes widened, their bodies stiffened, and their vitality quickly faded.

"This……"

Seeing this sudden scene, Lu Yuan stood there in a daze, dumbfounded and horrified.

These darts were the hidden weapons that Lu Yuan had just used.

He didn't know that this was a gift from his father, the Lu family's most precious heirloom - the Star-stealing Arrow!

The Star-Grabbing Arrow is forged by gathering the essence of the sun and the moon. It is a secret weapon of the Lu family that can kill master warriors!
However, Lu Yuan only learned the simple control method of the Star-Grabbing Arrow, which can only be used for hidden weapon attacks!

"what?"

Suddenly, Lu Yuan frowned.

Because, among those two corpses, there was still one thing that survived.

It was a broken branch, inky black in color, as if carved from black jade, and crystal clear.

"Purple Cloud Ginseng?"

Lu Yuan was stunned.

It was obvious that the two men came for the Purple Cloud Ginseng!

"pity……"

After taking a look at the two burly men, Lu Yuan sighed.

The purple cloud ginseng has already withered.

Over the years, he had used up all the medicinal materials in refining pills, and they were all gone!

"It seems..."

Lu Yuan's eyes were slightly moist.

He originally thought that he would never have the chance to make elixirs in this lifetime, but unexpectedly, there was always a ray of hope.

call out!
Suddenly, the Star-Grabbing Arrow flashed and flew back to Lu Yuan's hand.

"This is?"

Lu Yuan was surprised.

He looked carefully and found that the runes on the Star-Grabbing Arrow had dimmed a lot, as if they consumed too much energy and were difficult to maintain.

"Star-stealing arrow..."

"My Lu family has been passed down for thousands of years, but we failed to preserve it after all..."

Looking at the Star-Grabbing Arrow in his hand, Lu Yuan murmured softly, full of regret and sorrow.

The Star-stealing Arrow is the most precious treasure of the Lu family. Legend has it that it once shot and killed a demon at the Grandmaster level, intimidating all directions.

However, after thousands of years, it has been severely damaged and its power has gradually weakened.

"Maybe... once we find enough herbs, we can replenish the energy of the Star-Grabbing Arrow?"

"But, the Star-Grabbing Arrow requires more than ten thousand kinds of medicinal materials. How can we obtain them?"

Lu Yuan felt bitter.

His aptitude was mediocre and he was destined not to become a master of alchemy.

"That's all..."

"Since fate has allowed me to encounter the Purple Cloud Ginseng, it can be considered as fate's arrangement!"

Lu Yuan sighed in his heart, put away the Purple Cloud Ginseng and prepared to leave.

"Ok?"

At this moment, a slight fluctuation caught Lu Yuan's attention.

He turned his head to look into the distance, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he took a breath.

He saw a ball of flame rising into the sky, illuminating all directions, shining brightly, like the rising sun, stinging his eyes. (End of this chapter)
