After staying in Wushuang City for a few days, Bai Chi and Stupid Bear finally found the opportunity for Zhang Dongshuang to come out. With Bai Chi's strength, capturing Zhang Dongshuang was a piece of cake.
However, Bai Chi did not have good intentions. Although he was a consecrated member of the Liu Clan, who did not want to become stronger?
After knowing that the key to obtaining the inheritance was Zhang Dongshuang, Bai Chi immediately had an idea. If he were to send Zhang Dongshuang back to the Liu Family, he would no longer have a share. Immediately, he planned to kidnap Zhang Dongshuang and obtain the inheritance himself.
However, because he wanted to rob Lu Xuan on the spur of the moment, he ended up going for wool and coming home shorn. Not only did he not obtain the so-called inheritance, but he also caused the death of him and Stupid Bear. He deserved it.
After hearing Zhang Dongshuang slowly explain the situation, Lu Xuan nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that the secret that Bai Chi mentioned was the Zhang Clan's inheritance.
However, he was puzzled and asked, "Since your clan has such an inheritance, why didn't you obtain it earlier? Why did you wait until now?"
Hearing this, Zhang Dongshuang revealed a bitter smile and said, "It's not that we don't want to, but because the inheritance left by our ancestors has a bloodline requirement. If the bloodline density is not enough, it will be impossible to activate the inheritance. All along, our Zhang Clan has not been able to produce a descendant with a bloodline that meets the requirement. Until my generation, when I was twelve years old, the bloodline density finally met the requirement."
After Zhang Dongshuang finished speaking, Lu Xuan suddenly understood. No wonder the key person was Zhang Dongshuang. So there was such a restriction. It could be said that only by obtaining Zhang Dongshuang could one truly activate the inheritance.
"That's right, you should have been staying in the Sky Blade Martial House. How did you know about this?" Lu Xuan asked again.
"Bai Chi told me. In order to get me to cooperate with him, he told me everything. He also said that as long as I cooperate with him, he will give me a portion of the inheritance and help me take revenge. However, I naturally do not believe his words," Zhang Dongshuang said honestly.
Bai Chi's words were indeed untrustworthy. Who would hand over such a good thing to someone else? Once he obtained the inheritance, he would probably burn the bridge after crossing it and kill Zhang Dongshuang to prevent any future troubles.
Lu Xuan pondered for a while before saying, "Since he didn't see it with his own eyes and Bai Chi said it, then it might not be trustworthy."
Zhang Dongshuang shook her head. "There's no need for him to lie to me. However, there's one thing I can be sure of. The Liu Family might not have killed my father and the others. It's highly possible that they've imprisoned them. So, I still have a chance to rescue my parents."
"Then, do you plan to return to the Heavenly Saber Martial House to continue cultivating and wait for an opportunity to rescue your parents?"
In response to Lu Xuan's question, Zhang Dongshuang simply shook her head and said, "I don't have that much time. Not to mention that the Liu Family will continue to attack me, even if I rely on cultivating in the Heavenly Saber Martial House, it will be extremely difficult for me to reach the 10th level of the Body Refinement Realm. Even if I do reach it, I don't know how many years it will take. So, my only hope now is the inheritance of my ancestor!"
Speaking up to this point, Zhang Dongshuang looked at Lu Xuan and immediately made up her mind. She knelt down on one knee and bowed to Lu Xuan. "Young Hero Lu, the only person who can help me now is you. Please help me obtain the inheritance of my ancestor. When the time comes, as long as the inheritance is related to the Way of the Sword, it will all belong to you!"
Zhang Dongshuang's sudden action caused Lu Xuan to jump up in fright. He hurriedly supported Zhang Dongshuang and said, "Miss Zhang, you don't have to do this. I will definitely help you if I can. However, this is the inheritance of your family, how can I covet it?"
To be honest, when he heard Bai Chi say that there was some secret, Lu Xuan was indeed a little tempted. However, now that he knew that it was the inheritance of the Zhang Family's ancestor, Lu Xuan dispelled this thought. He could naturally take anything without an owner, but he would not covet anything with an owner.
However, Zhang Dongshuang refused to get up and continued to say, "If young hero does not agree, I will not get up. Furthermore, this time's journey to obtain the inheritance will not be smooth sailing. The ancestors must have set up a test. Based on my strength, even if I have the power of the bloodline, I am afraid that it will be extremely difficult to obtain it. Only with young hero's help will there be a glimmer of hope. Furthermore, my Zhang Family is currently practicing the blade. There is no great use in the path of the Way of the Sword.
Even so, it will not be too much to give young hero's reward. "Upon hearing Zhang Dongshuang's words, Lu Xuan was somewhat hesitant. The inheritance of an almighty martial artist sounded extremely tempting. Furthermore, Zhang Dongshuang was currently gifting it to him, so it could not be considered as coveting it. However, the test she mentioned just now made Lu Xuan somewhat worried. He was only at the 6th layer of the Body Refinement Stage, would he be able to pass the test?
However, soon after, Lu Xuan's gaze became resolute. How could there be no danger in the path of martial arts? No matter what, he had to give it a try. Even if it was not for the so-called inheritance, this was still an excellent opportunity to gain experience. In any case, he had no other objectives at the moment.
"Alright, get up first. I promise you that I will give it a try. However, if the test is too difficult, then there is nothing I can do." Lu Xuan explained in advance that if he encountered any danger, he would not force himself to do so.
Upon hearing these words, Zhang Dongshuang was instantly overjoyed!
The reason why she looked for Lu Xuan's help was because she currently had no one else to look for. Secondly, it was because she trusted Lu Xuan. Although they had not known each other for a long time, from the series of interactions just now, she could see Lu Xuan's character.
More importantly, Lu Xuan's strength was also extremely valiant. Bai Chi even dared to attempt to obtain the inheritance. Since Lu Xuan was able to kill Bai Chi, he was naturally even more qualified. To Zhang Dongshuang, the sudden appearance of Lu Xuan, a person with an outstanding temperament and extraordinary strength, was practically a gift from the heavens.
"Then let's not delay any longer, let's set off now. The ancestor's inheritance is left in the Hengduan Mountain Range. It is still quite a distance from here. We need to first return to Wu Shuang City to replenish our supplies and get two mounts." Zhang Dongshuang said.
Lu Xuan nodded his head. He had heard Bai Chi mention the Hengduan Mountain Range before. It seemed that what he said was a mixture of truth and falsehood. He did not expect that the inheritance was indeed in the Hengduan Mountain Range.
However, he was not in a hurry to set off. Instead, he first walked to the side of the stupid bear's corpse and picked up the long blade of the stupid bear. At the same time, he also took the storage ring from the stupid bear's hand. Then, he went to the side of Bai Chi's corpse and did the same. This was also a considerable amount of wealth.
After using his divine sense to explore the two's storage rings, Lu Xuan discovered that there were many miscellaneous items inside. Firstly, there were a few weapons, which were probably spares. Apart from these, there were also elixirs, Yuan Stones, and books of martial skills and cultivation methods.
Naturally, Lu Xuan did not need cultivation methods. As for martial skills, they were saber skills and spear skills. Naturally, he could not use them, so he could only put them aside for the time being. However, there were many elixirs that he could use. Apart from the most basic Rejuvenating Pill, there were also the Protective Organs Pill for the seventh and the Fusing Blood Pill for the eighth. It could be considered a considerable amount of wealth. For a martial artist, elixirs were the most expensive things.
What made him happy was that there was also a lot of gold. Although it was not very valuable, it was inevitable to travel in the secular world. Since Bai Chi and Lu Xuan had it, it saved him the trouble of exchanging for it.
After packing up his spoils of war, Lu Xuan prepared to set off. He had only taken a few steps when Zhang Dongshuang suddenly stopped with a troubled expression.
"What's wrong?" Lu Xuan was puzzled.
"Before, Bai Chi sealed my dantian. Now I can't even use my Yuan Qi. I wonder if Young Hero Lu can help me break it open?" Zhang Dongshuang asked.
Lu Xuan slightly furrowed his eyebrows and said: "I'll try."
Bai Chi's strength was at the ninth layer of the Body Refinement Realm, while he was only at the sixth layer. The reason why Lu Xuan was able to defeat Bai Chi was because he relied on martial skills and sword intent, not strength. Whether or not he could break the seal placed by Bai Chi, he had no confidence.
Zhang Dongshuang immediately stood still. Lu Xuan reached out and stroked her back while saying: "I'll first send a trace of Yuan Qi into your body. Don't resist."
Zhang Dongshuang obediently gave a soft hum and relaxed, allowing Lu Xuan to do as he pleased. However, when Lu Xuan's large hand stroked her back, she could not help but tremble. A trace of red quietly crept up her cheeks. Ever since she was born, she had never been touched by a man of her age.
However, at this moment, Lu Xuan did not have any romantic feelings. He closed his eyes and a trace of Yuan Qi flowed along the meridians on his arm and quietly entered Zhang Dongshuang's body.
A person's dantian was divided into three parts: the upper dantian, middle dantian, and lower dantian. However, the most important one was the lower dantian. The energy sinking in the dantian referred to the lower dantian.
As the Yuan Qi entered Zhang Dongshuang's body, Lu Xuan immediately understood the situation in her body. The Yuan Qi first arrived at the position of the upper dantian, which was the Yintang point between the eyebrows.
Sure enough, Lu Xuan instantly saw that Zhang Dongshuang's dantian was blocked by a trace of Yuan Qi. Compared to Zhang Dongshuang's own Yuan Qi, this trace of Yuan Qi was extremely overbearing. It was not something that she could break open with her strength. Without a doubt, this trace of Yuan Qi was left behind by Bai Chi.
After finding the location, Lu Xuan did not stay any longer. The Taiyi Return Technique immediately activated and Yuan Qi continuously flowed into Zhang Dongshuang's body. It suddenly attacked the trace of Yuan Qi. If he could disperse this trace of Yuan Qi, he would naturally be able to undo the seal.
The sudden impact caused Zhang Dongshuang to involuntarily let out a muffled groan. However, the Yuan Power only trembled slightly and did not disperse. Lu Xuan pursed his lips and tried again. It was the same as before. He tried three times in a row, but he still failed.
Opening his eyes, Lu Xuan withdrew his Yuan Qi and sighed: "This won't do. In the end, my strength is still too low."
