Then, Zhang Dongshuang helped Lu Xuan put on his clothes, picked him up, and gently placed him in the center of the stone platform.
"Young Hero Lu, this is the inheritance place of our ancestor. Perhaps he saw your extraordinary talent and was eager to take you away. Moreover, this place is very quiet, no one can enter, so no one will disturb you. When I'm done with my revenge, I'll definitely go down to find you."
Zhang Dongshuang stood up, took out a book from among the books, and placed it in front of Lu Xuan. She said, "This is the only sword technique among these books. I promised you that everything related to the way of the sword would belong to you. Although you can't use it now, my promise still stands."
In addition to this martial technique, Zhang Dongshuang also kept the treasured long sword, and the rest of the things were kept in her storage ring.
The inheritance left by the Zhang Clan's ancestor, in addition to a few sets of cultivation methods and martial techniques, there were also many pills. As for the big box, it was filled with primary stones, enough for her to use for a long time.
With so many primary stones and pills, coupled with martial techniques and cultivation methods, her strength could increase rapidly. This was the capital she had for revenge.
Before leaving, Zhang Dongshuang couldn't help but look back at Lu Xuan again, but at this moment, Lu Xuan was already lying on the ground, motionless. She felt a lump in her throat, and didn't want to look anymore. She turned around and walked towards the teleportation formation inside.
There was also a teleportation formation inside, which led to the cave they came from before. It also needed the blood of the Zhang Clan to activate.
She dripped three drops of blood on each primary stone, and the teleportation formation immediately emitted a burst of light. It had been successfully activated. Zhang Dongshuang was about to leave, but after some thought, she dripped three more drops of blood on each primary stone. This way, the teleportation formation could support two teleportations.
"Young Hero Lu won't die so easily. Perhaps, the ancestor felt that Young Hero Lu's talent was not good enough, and kicked him back? Leave a teleportation formation, and Young Hero Lu will naturally be able to come out again. "Zhang Dongshuang mumbled to herself while dripping blood.
Although she knew that this was just a psychological comfort, she felt much better. It was as if Lu Xuan had just gone to receive instruction from his ancestors, and was not dead and could return at any time.
As she thought of this, a teardrop involuntarily rolled down from the corner of her eye. She wiped it away with her sleeve, and Zhang Dongshuang finally stepped onto the teleportation array. With a flash of light, her figure instantly disappeared from the stone chamber. Other than the teleportation array that was still glowing brightly, only Lu Xuan, who was quietly lying on the stone platform, remained.
This time, the inheritance didn't take long. However, after Lu Xuan's accident, Zhang Dongshuang had to hold Lu Xuan to maintain his body temperature, which took quite some time.
When she came out of the stone room, it was no longer night time. There was a glimmer of light in the sky. With the help of this glimmer of light, Zhang Dongshuang looked at the cave that had changed. She felt a little sad. After all, she was only a sixteen-year-old girl.
However, she quickly put away this feeling and wiped away the remaining tears in her eyes. She had to learn to be strong.
In the past, she had the protection of the Zhang Clan and the Sky Saber Martial House. After that, she had the protection of Lu Xuan. But now, there was no one who could help her. She had to rely on herself for everything.
After taking a deep breath, Zhang Dongshuang walked out of the cave. Peng Xu and Zhang Zhuo were very obedient and really stood guard in front of the mountain rock. Fortunately, this was originally the territory of the Goldwing Tiger. For a while, there were no other ferocious beasts invading the territory.
Peng Xu was very vigilant. He had been taking a nap, but when Zhang Dongshuang came out, he was instantly woken up. He quickly stood up and kicked Zhang Zhuo, who was sleeping beside him.
"Miss, why did you come out? Where is Young Hero Lu? "Peng Xu asked.
Hearing Lu Xuan's name, Zhang Dongshuang's heart trembled. She shook her head and stopped thinking about it. Her voice was calm as she said: "Young Hero Lu still has something to do. He will not leave with us for the time being."
Lu Xuan had gone to receive the teachings of the ancestors. Zhang Dongshuang constantly told herself to numb herself.
Although he still had some doubts, Peng Xu did not ask. After all, his master was still Zhang Dongshuang.
"The sky has just brightened and there are still many ferocious beasts active. If we want to leave, it is best to wait for a while." Peng Xu suggested. He had spent many years in the Hengduan Mountain Range and was naturally aware of the situation.
Zhang Dongshuang did not make things difficult for him. She sat down cross-legged by herself.
"Peng Xu, what is your current strength? How confident are you in reaching the 10th layer of the Body Refinement Realm? "Zhang Dongshuang asked.
Hearing this, Peng Xu was slightly startled. He did not know why she suddenly asked such a question. However, he still honestly replied: "I am currently in the middle stage of the 9th layer of the Body Refinement Realm. There is still a long way to go before I reach the 10th layer. If I have enough Yuan Stones and elixirs, I should be able to reach it. However, I cannot guarantee the time."
The middle stage of the 9th layer of the Body Refinement Realm was still a little weak. Zhang Dongshuang sighed. The Liu Family Patriarch was at the 10th layer of the Body Refinement Realm. It was not realistic for Peng Xu to kill him. More importantly, the Liu Family Patriarch was not alone. There were many servants and guests in the family who were not weak.
Raising her head to look at the sky, Zhang Dongshuang was somewhat at a loss. When would she be able to get her revenge? When would she be able to accompany Young Hero Lu? To repay his kindness?
… …
Was Lu Xuan dead? The answer was obviously no.
Quietly lying on the stone platform, Lu Xuan's body was ice cold. He was not breathing at all. He looked no different from a corpse. However, in reality, he had not stopped breathing. It was just that his breathing had changed from external to internal.
The Tai Yi Return to Origin Technique was really too strong. Normally, even if Lu Xuan did not activate it, it would still slowly circulate on its own. And now, it was in this state.
Because the Tai Yi Return to Origin Technique was still circulating, it was still continuously supplying Lu Xuan with Yuan Qi and maintaining his internal breathing. Because of this, Lu Xuan did not suffocate to death.
What was even more amazing was that the extremely cold drop of unknown blood essence did not only have the Ice attribute. When it was emitting coldness, it actually emitted a trace of life aura, maintaining Lu Xuan's vitality.
It was because of the existence of this trace of vitality that was the key to preserving Lu Xuan's life. Zhang Dongshuang only noticed that Lu Xuan was no longer breathing. She did not notice that his pulse was still beating. However, because the blood in his body was almost frozen, it flowed very slowly. Therefore, the frequency of the pulse was rather low. If one did not examine carefully, they would not be able to detect it at all.
With regards to Zhang Dongshuang's departure, Lu Xuan had a vague feeling. However, he could not speak at all. His consciousness was very fuzzy. This state could be called a state of near death.
Although the Tai Yi Return to Origin Technique helped Lu Xuan maintain his internal breathing and the drop of blood provided vitality, if this continued for a long time, Lu Xuan would still die. This was because there was a limit to a person's physical strength. Given his current strength, he was far from reaching the realm of inedia.
Time passed by slowly. Lu Xuan's bodily functions were getting worse. His body, which was originally able to maintain its original state, started to deteriorate.
His blood, which had almost frozen into ice, began to freeze even more. If his blood completely froze, no matter how powerful the Taiyi Regression Technique was, even if that drop of blood continued to provide him with life force, he would still die without a doubt!
Although Lu Xuan's consciousness was fuzzy, he could still sense the state of his body. However, there was nothing he could do about it. He could only watch as his body's condition worsened.
Nobody knew how much time had passed. It could have been two hours, a day, or even three days. Lu Xuan's condition was getting worse and worse.
Because he had not been able to eat to provide energy for his body, the icy power was starting to become unstoppable. In fact, it was very simple to solve Lu Xuan's current predicament. All he needed was an expert to shake off the chill in his body. It was precisely because the chill was condensed that Lu Xuan could not resist it. If the chill could be shaken off, then Lu Xuan could quickly recover his vitality and absorb it.
This was the reason why the Zhang Family's ancestor had given this drop of blood essence. He would never plot to harm his own descendant.
However, there was only Lu Xuan in the entire stone room. Where could he find an expert to help him shake off the chill? Even if Zhang Dongshuang was here, it would be useless. Her strength was too low. At the very least, a warrior in the Spirit Refinement Realm would be needed.
Perhaps the Zhang Family's ancestor had not expected that the Zhang Family had declined to such an extent that they could not even produce a warrior in the Spirit Refinement Realm.
'Am I going to die?' A thought emerged in Lu Xuan's mind while he was in a daze.
He did not die in the hands of Bai Chi, Lao Er of the Liu Family, nor did he die in the hands of the Goldwing Tiger. However, he was going to die here and under such circumstances. It was really too depressing.
He wanted to mobilize his Sword Essence to cut off the chill in his body. However, even his consciousness was about to be frozen. How could he use his Sword Essence?
Was there really no other way? At the thought of this, a strong sense of unwillingness arose in Lu Xuan's heart!
'No!' 'I still have one last trump card!'
'I still have the mysterious Sword Crystal!'
Lu Xuan did not know where the Sword Crystal came from, but he was deeply aware of how powerful the Sword Crystal was!
The blood in his body was almost frozen. Why could the Taiyi Regression Technique continue to operate? That was because of the existence of the Sword Crystal!
At this moment, the Sword Crystal was still revolving slowly in Lu Xuan's dantian, maintaining the normal state of Lu Xuan's dantian. It was not invaded by the chill at all. A mere chill was completely unable to affect the Sword Crystal at all.
At the thought of this, Lu Xuan no longer hesitated. He desperately mobilized the weak essence energy in his body and smashed it towards his dantian without the slightest bit of reservation!
If it was during normal times, this method of Lu Xuan's would be self-destructing his dantian. However, under this kind of state, the essence energy that Lu Xuan could mobilize was too weak. It was simply unable to cause any impact on the dantian. He could only pat the dantian lightly.
But because of this slight pat, a strange change occurred!
The Sword Crystal that had been revolving continuously suddenly paused. Immediately, an incomparably tyrannical protective sword qi was emitted from the Sword Crystal!
In an instant, this sword qi penetrated Lu Xuan's limbs and bones!
