To be able to reach the second level of the Origin Realm in such a short period of time, the speed was way beyond Lu Xuan's imagination. Even though he had already guessed that the medicinal pool would be extremely effective, he was still shocked by the speed.
Even though Lu Xuan had already reached the second level of the Origin Realm, his second Yuan Dan had just been born and was still very weak. He would need to absorb a lot of Yuan Qi in order to grow to the same level as his first Yuan Dan. An endless amount of Yuan Qi continued to surge towards Lu Xuan from afar and was constantly being absorbed by Lu Xuan, enriching the newly born Yuan Dan.
As Lu Xuan's cultivation technique continued to circulate, the entire medicinal pool seemed to have entered a boiling state. It was constantly churning and the fragrance of the medicinal herbs permeated the air. Su Ye observed for a period of time. Seeing that Lu Xuan had already entered the right track of absorbing the medicinal herbs, she did not disturb him any further and quietly left the secret chamber.
Even though Lu Xuan was initially absorbing the medicinal herbs in the medicinal pool with ease, he quickly realized that he could not continue to absorb the medicinal herbs like this. He had to control the speed of his absorption.
Lu Xuan was not worried that the medicinal herbs in the medicinal pool would be completely consumed by him, but he was worried that the large amount of precious medicinal herbs would go to waste. Now that he had an endless supply of medicinal herbs for himself to absorb, the only obstacle for him to break through was his own comprehension. As long as his comprehension could keep up, Lu Xuan would be able to break through without any obstacles.
After realizing this, Lu Xuan began to slow down his absorption rate. He no longer actively absorbed the medicinal herbs in the medicinal pool and instead allowed the surging medicinal herbs to surge into his body. Even though this method greatly reduced the absorption rate and lengthened the cultivation time, it gave Lu Xuan a lot of time to comprehend. He could absorb the medicinal herbs in the medicinal pool while comprehending and cultivating at the same time, in preparation for breaking through to the next level.
Lu Xuan did not know how long he had been soaking in the medicinal pool. He only felt that as time went by, the temperature of the medicinal pool began to drop bit by bit, and the medicinal properties began to thin out. In the beginning, he did not need to actively absorb the medicinal properties, as there were endless medicinal properties rushing into his body. But now, Lu Xuan had no choice but to circulate the Taiyi Fusion Technique with all his might to absorb every last bit of medicinal properties in the medicinal pool.
On another day, a voice rang out. Lu Xuan could not help but open his eyes and look in the direction of the voice. As expected, it was Su Ye.
"Young Master Lu, are you awake?" Su Ye could not help but exclaim in surprise when she saw Lu Xuan looking at her. During this period of time, Lu Xuan had been immersed in his cultivation. Every time she came, he would ignore her. This was the first time in so many days that he had opened his eyes.
"I felt that I had absorbed most of the medicinal power in the medicinal pool, so I woke up." Lu Xuan said with some embarrassment. Su Ye had paid a huge price to prepare this medicinal pool for more than ten years, but now, he had completely absorbed all of it.
Su Ye was somewhat surprised and said, "You finished absorbing it so quickly? I thought it would take some more time. It seems that Young Master Lu's absorption rate is much faster than I expected. "
Lu Xuan lightly grunted. He was using the Taiyi Fusion Technique, so his absorption rate was naturally much faster than other cultivation techniques. Moreover, this was because Lu Xuan had not used all his strength to absorb the medicinal properties. If he had used all his strength, the absorption rate would have been even faster. However, this way, Lu Xuan had managed to maximize the medicinal properties in the medicinal pool!
"How long have I been cultivating?" Lu Xuan asked.
"Three more days to a month," Su Ye said with a smile. "Young Master Lu, have you made any breakthroughs in your strength?"
Lu Xuan was extremely surprised. He didn't think that a few days had passed, but in fact, it had been almost a month. But the gains he had made in this one month were probably incomparable to what he had gained in a year.
"Thanks to Young Lady Su and Elder Hall Master Su's kindness, I have now reached the fourth level of the Origin Realm and have completely entered the middle stage of the Origin Realm." Speaking of his current strength, Lu Xuan couldn't help but reveal a flash of joy on his face. One month ago, he was just a kid at the first level of the Origin Realm. But today, one month later, he had already reached the fourth level of the Origin Realm!
A fourth level of the Origin Realm expert in the Hundred Herb Hall could be considered as the strongest expert on the surface. Even in a fourth grade faction, they were not to be underestimated. This was all because of the medicinal pool. The medicinal pool that Su Hexuan had concocted for more than ten years was indeed worthy of its reputation. It was no wonder that the Emperor of the Nine Dragons Empire, Xia Qi, couldn't help but be envious. To be able to allow one to advance three levels in a short period of time without any side effects, such a thing was extremely rare.
But when Su Ye heard this, she was slightly surprised, "Only at the fourth level of the Origin Realm? Seems like Young Master Lu has a very solid foundation. According to grandfather's estimation, the medicinal powers contained in the medicinal pool should at least be able to support Young Master Lu's cultivation to the fifth level of the Origin Realm. "
Lu Xuan nodded, "My body is indeed different from a normal person. The amount of spirit force required to breakthrough far exceeds that of a regular martial artist."
Su Ye expressed her understanding. Although they were at the same cultivation level, Lu Xuan had a strength that far exceeded other martial artists of the same cultivation level. Naturally, he would be different. Su Ye then took out a set of clothes from her storage ring and said, "Young Master Lu, I have washed that set of clothes of yours. When I was washing it, I realized that it was actually made from Sky Worm Silk. I didn't expect Young Master Lu's clothes to be so valuable."
Looking at the set of white clothes in Su Ye's hands, Lu Xuan's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise. This set of clothes seemed to be given to him by someone, but he couldn't remember who it was. Whenever he saw something familiar, Lu Xuan would always have a vague memory, but he couldn't remember it clearly.
Shaking his head, Lu Xuan was about to get out of the medicinal pool to change into the clothes when he realized that he was completely naked. He couldn't help but smile awkwardly at Su Ye, "Young Lady Su, can you turn around? I will change my clothes."
Su Ye pursed her lips into a smile as she turned around. As Lu Xuan changed his clothes, he asked Su Ye, "Has the Hundred Herb Hall been peaceful during this period of time?"
"Everything is fine. A few days ago, Grandfather was in the palace diagnosing His Majesty's condition. He only returned recently, so I don't know how His Majesty's injuries are doing. Oh, that's right, the Fourth Prince came a few times to look for you. However, he heard that you were cultivating, so he didn't disturb you," Su Ye said as she recalled.
When Lu Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but think. Su Hexuan had returned from the palace, and Xia Xi had come to look for him a few times. Could it be that the Emperor of the Nine Dragons Dynasty …
Perhaps what he thought about came true. Just as Lu Xuan came out of closed-door cultivation and was about to pay a visit to Su Hexuan, the Fourth Prince, Xia Xi, actually came to visit again!
When he saw Xia Xi again a month later, Lu Xuan noticed that Xia Xi's complexion wasn't as good as it was a month ago. Perhaps it was because he had too many things on his mind, but he looked a lot more haggard. His eyes were sunken, and there were heavy bags under them. It seemed like he didn't even sleep well. Looking at Xia Xi's appearance, Lu Xuan already had a guess in his heart.
"Lu Xuan, you're finally out of closed-door cultivation." Xia Xi let out a long sigh of relief when he saw Lu Xuan. He seemed to value Lu Xuan a lot.
"Fourth Prince, you're too serious. How could I be worthy of Your Highness's concern?" Lu Xuan chuckled.
Xia Xi waved his hand and said, "Of course you're worthy of my concern. To tell you the truth, the reason I came to look for you this time is because I was right about what I told you last time. With your intelligence, I'm sure you've already guessed it, so I won't hide it from you."
As expected! Lu Xuan's heart skipped a beat. Perhaps the Nine Dragons Dynasty would be in turmoil again. However, this time, the disturbance didn't come from the outside, but from the inside.
Lu Xuan asked tentatively, "His Majesty, he …?"
"Imperial Father's injuries are too serious. Even Hall Master Su couldn't cure him with all his might. Moreover, the injuries left behind by the Demonfiend were internal injuries. At first, it wasn't obvious, but as time passed, Imperial Father's condition worsened. Now, Imperial Father's strength is almost gone, and he looks like he's aged more than twenty years." Xia Xi said with a deep frown. Although he was a member of the imperial family, he still had feelings for Xia Qi. Seeing his once brilliant Imperial Father reduced to such a state, Xia Xi couldn't help but feel sad. This was the reason why he looked so haggard recently.
"Your Highness, please restrain your grief. I'm sure the Heavens will help a good man." Lu Xuan comforted.
Xia Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Imperial Father is aware of his own situation, so he doesn't have much hope. All the affairs of the nation have been handed over to Imperial Uncle, Zhennan Wang, for the time being. The only thing that's hard to decide now is the ownership of the throne."
Lu Xuan didn't care about the throne. Hearing Xia Xi mention the Zhennan Wang, he couldn't help but be startled, "Zhennan Wang returned safely?"
"That's right. Imperial Uncle escaped from the Demonfiend's hands and recuperated for half a month before returning."
"I see. If there's a chance, I'd like to thank Zhennan Wang. If it wasn't for Zhennan Wang, I'm afraid Su Ye and I would have already died in Yangan City."
"It's easy to thank Imperial Uncle. If you're willing, Lu Xuan, you can follow me to the Imperial Capital. After we return, I'll arrange for you to meet Imperial Uncle." Xia Xi's brows arched.
Lu Xuan smiled faintly, "I'm afraid it won't be as simple as meeting Zhennan Wang, right?"
Xia Xi laughed and patted Lu Xuan's shoulder, "That's right. These are troubled times, and I'm in urgent need of help. The reason why I came to the Hundred Herb Hall is that I hope Lu Xuan can come with me to the Imperial Capital. If anything happens, you can lend a hand."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan's expression turned serious. The Imperial Capital of the Nine Dragon Dynasty was equivalent to the core of a Fourth Rank Sect. It was easy to enter, but difficult to leave.
"Fourth Prince, please tell me the truth. What do you need me to do? What kind of opponents do we need to face?" Lu Xuan asked in a deep voice. He wanted to understand the degree of danger this time. If a Virtualized Realm expert intervened, Lu Xuan wouldn't go no matter what. He didn't have a second Nine Star Spiritual Talisman.
