Chapter 363: Chapter 338 Yanluo’s Blood_1
Once Lu Yan returned to his room in the inn, he could not wait to start reading the cultivation method for the Yanluo Golden Body.
By the time he finished reading, his face had turned somewhat gloomy.
That’s because to cultivate the first layer of the Yanluo Golden Body, he would need something called Yanluo’s Blood. But where would he get Yanluo’s Blood?
He racked his brain, trying to remember if he had seen anything like it in the Dagu Dynasty treasure, but his memory came up with nothing of the sort.
"The Divine-level Body Cultivating Martial Arts, the conditions for cultivation are indeed severe, requiring various materials to match. Even Hunting Immortals, one of the Nine Extremes of the World, has no such requirement."
Lu Yan felt somewhat speechless.
Hunting Immortals was only difficult to grasp due to its complexity, but there are no such absurd requirements.
"No wonder the Gu family was so accommodating. Without any fuss, they gave us the cultivation method for Yanluo Golden Body and the Divine Dao Stones. I guess they knew we would find it difficult to cultivate them successfully."
Lu Yan muttered to himself.
He concluded that he could only put away the cultivation method and take his time to gather the required items in the future.
Lu Yan sighed.
At this moment, there was a creaking sound as Shen Yinuo entered the room.
"Lu Yan, what are you sighing about? Did you get the Yanluo Golden Body?"
Shen Yinuo’s smile made the room seem a little brighter.
"I got it. However, it requires something called Yanluo’s Blood for successful cultivation. Yinuo, have you ever heard of Yanluo’s Blood?"
Lu Yan asked.
"Yanluo’s Blood?"
Shen Yinuo pondered but shook her head in the end, indicating that she had not heard of it.
"The Gu family must have it. But since they just received Yanluo Gold Body, they will definitely not sell it."
Lu Yan sighed again.
"We will surely find a way when the time comes, Lu Yan, you don’t have to be disheartened. By the way, I have something to deal with. Can you wait for me in Guyue City for a few days?"
Shen Yinuo said.
"What do you have to deal with? Do you need my help?"
Lu Yan asked.
"It’s not a big deal, I can handle it on my own."
Shen Yinuo said.
After a few more exchanges, Shen Yinuo left the room.
Lu Yan waited for three days.
During these three days, he found an opportunity to integrate with his other two avatars and received two more Divine Dao Stones and two more sets of cultivation methods.
On the fourth day, Shen Yinuo pushed open Lu Yan’s door.
"Yinuo, is your business settled?"
Lu Yan asked.
"Yeah."
Shen Yinuo nodded, but she seemed to have a lot on her mind. Lu Yan also noticed this and asked about it.
"Lu Yan, take this."
Shen Yinuo held out a jade vial.
The surface of the jade vial was engraved with wish patterns to protect it.
"What’s this?"
Lu Yan was curious.
"Yanluo’s Blood."
Shen Yinuo said.
"What?"
Lu Yan was genuinely shocked, asking: "Yinuo, how did you get Yanluo’s Blood?"
"I borrowed it from the Gu Family."
Shen Yinuo said.
Lu Yan was looking at Shen Yinuo blankly, waiting for her to explain.
"Lu Yan, you have always been curious about my origin. Today, I will tell you all. I come from the Gu Family; my father is the current Family Head of the Gu family."
Shen Yinuo said.
"Your father is the head of the Gu family?"
Lu Yan was again surprised. He had not expected this.
"Yes. From a young age, I was identified as having an extraordinary talent in martial arts, a rarity in the Gu Family’s history. I was trained heavily to succeed the position of the Clan Leader. Therefore, my father was extremely strict with me from a young age. If he wasn’t forcing me to practice martial arts, he was forcing me to read. But I did not like any of it; I only liked being a Martial Chef."
"So, I have had a bad relationship with my father since I was a child. When I grew up, in a fit of anger, I ran away from home and even changed my surname to my mother’s."
Shen Yinuo explained.
"So, your real name is not Shen Yinuo?"
Lu Yan said.
"Yes."
Shen Yinuo nodded, saying: "But that’s not important. I don’t like that name anyway. From now on, I’m Shen Yinuo, and I will never change."
After she finished, Shen Yinuo fell silent again. After a while, she said: "Lu Yan, I have to say goodbye to you this time. My father was ambushed by the people of Shengwu Sect and Spirit Sect. He suffered heavy losses and his cultivation level regressed. He is no longer capable of leading the Gu Family and is suppressed by another faction. His position is in danger. If I don’t return to handle the situation, the outcome for them is bound to be grim."
Lu Yan was not surprised.
From Shen Yinuo’s expression, he had expected this.
"Lu Yan..."
Shen Yinuo bit her lower lip and hesitated for a moment before saying: "Can you stay and help me?"
"Stay with the Gu family?"
Lu Yan thought for a moment, but finally shook his head, saying, "Yinuo, I’m sorry, my roots are with Mansion of King Ming, in Lingdong. I can’t stay."
He paused for a moment before adding: "At least not temporarily. In the future, when you become the Master of the Gu Family, I might just marry you."
Shen Yinuo blushed and retorted: "Who wants to marry you..."
Before she could finish her words, Shen Yinuo was hugged by Lu Yan.
At first, Shen Yinuo trembled, but soon she hugged Lu Yan back.
After a long while...
Shen Yinuo’s face turned red. Her eyes watery, as she stared at Lu Yan and said, ’I will also take advantage by hugging you back. With that, she grabbed Lu Yan’s neck.
Unconsciously, the clothes of the two people had already been taken off.
Lu Yan’s breathing grew heavy as he held Shen Yinuo and fell onto the bed.
The next day, his lover had already left, leaving only a lingering fragrance at the tip of his nose.
"Yinuo, I will come to find you soon, it won’t be long," Lu Yan whispered before he rose and drifted away.
After leaving Guyue City, Lu Yan soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light, quickly moving into the distance.
Next, he would return to Lingdong, close himself off to meditate, attempt to reach the Primordial Spirit Realm, succeed in comprehending several divine-level martial arts, and then all that was needed was to look for Immortal Bones to elevate his skills.
With his speed which was astonishingly fast and an incredibly potent True Vigor, it didn’t take long for him to be thousands of miles away.
Two days later, he had crossed two big provinces and entered the territory of Jiangzhou.
The Zhang Family of Jiangzhou was also one of the Eighteen Feudal Lords of Da Chu.
Boom, boom...
As he passed by a desolate mountain, he heard deafening booms.
Such a scene was definitely a battle between those in the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Regarding this, Lu Yan had no intention to intervene, he didn’t want to court disaster unnecessarily.
But the voice that rang out next made Lu Yan stop in his tracks.
"The Zhang Family of Jiangzhou is shameless and despicable, using such disgraceful means. If this spreads, they will certainly be shamed by all," an angry voice echoed.
Lu Yan found this voice incredibly familiar.
"Zuo Yun, that’s Zuo Yun’s voice," Lu Yan thought to himself.
Listening to the voice, it seemed like Zuo Yun was in deep trouble.
In the Site of Heavenly Artifacts, Zuo Yun had helped him. Otherwise, the consequences of facing Wu Hao, who was in the Primordial Spirit realm, would have been unpredictable.
So now, having encountered this situation, Lu Yan couldn’t just walk away.
Lu Yan landed on the ground, concealed his Qi-blood, employed his technique, and swiftly charged towards the direction of the voice.
It didn’t take long for him to arrive.
Lu Yan concealed himself behind a large tree and observed the situation ahead.
There was a canyon.
Zuo Yun was sitting cross-legged with a pale face, his clothes torn and blood-stained.
The Eight Diagrams Plate was suspended above his head. Around him were densely packed patterns, forming a Wish Pattern Formation, protecting him within.
At this moment, there were three people attacking Zuo Yun.
All three of them were in the Primordial Spirit Realm.
One in the First Transformation of the Primordial Spirit Realm, one in the second, and one in the third.
"Zuo Yun has also broken through to the Primordial Spirit realm," thought Lu Yan.
But although Zuo Yun was exceptionally talented, he had just broken through to the Primordial Spirit realm; how could he be a match for one in the third transformation?
Therefore, his situation was precarious. Even though he was able to hold off the attack by using the formation, the formation was about to collapse.
"The Zhang Family of Jiangzhou, huh?" Lu Yan whispered to himself, then used the Shape-shifting Technique to change his appearance, and a bow appeared in his hand.
The Slaying Immortals Bow!
The arrow was not a Destroying Demon Arrow, but a regular metal arrow.
Destroying Demon Arrow only had nine shoots, so he couldn’t waste them carelessly.
He drew the bow and set the arrow. As the Slaying Immortals Bow emitted light, Lu Yan felt a surge of True Vigor from his body that was swiftly channeled into the bow and then poured into the arrow.
Whoosh!
The arrow shot out and in an instant, it was near the expert at the Third Transformation of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Instead of using the ’Thunder Nine Sounds,’ what Lu Yan released, was another top-level arrow technique.
Before entering the Site of Heavenly Artifacts, Lu Yan had spent a considerable amount of time in Shangcheng City and had not wasted it.
He had collected more than two hundred top-level martial arts techniques in Shangcheng City, among which were more than twenty top-level archery techniques.
During that time, Lu Yan had focused on understanding archery techniques and gathered Dao Food for enhancements. He had brought nine of the top-level archery techniques to the Unity of Man and Martial Arts and integrated them into one top-level archery technique.
Lu Yan named it ’Broken Sky Arrow.’
Given Lu Yan’s current cultivation level and the aid of the Slaying Immortals Bow, the power released by the top-level archery technique was extremely terrifying.
The expert at the third transformation of the Primordial Spirit Realm immediately detected the trajectory of the arrow with his Spiritual Sense. He was taken aback and hurriedly turned around and launched an attack with his knife.
Clang!
The arrow collided with the war knife.
The arrow exploded into powder, but the terrifying force made the expert at the third tranformation of the Primordial Spirit Realm retreat rapidly, his arm numb.
"What a terrifying power," the expert in the third transformation of the Primordial Spirit Realm said with a very serious face.
The person who made the move was definitely on his level, or even stronger.
"Who is the friend hiding here, please come out," the person shouted.
But what answered him was another arrow.
The arrow was like a stream of light, unbelievably fast. If not relying on Spiritual Sense, it would be impossible to catch it with his naked eye.
The person could only fully focus on cutting the incoming arrow, but his body was forced to retreat, his hand was in stinging pain as blood seeped out from his palms.
"Friend, we are from the Zhang Family of Jiangzhou. This person stole our treasures. We must take him back for questioning. Please show us some respect," the expert, not willing to give up, said again.
"Nonsense, when did I steal your things, you are shameless, you want to control me..." Zuo Yun angrily yelled.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
This time, two arrows could be heard as they flew towards the expert at the third transformation of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
The expert tried his best to resist, and although he managed to block all the arrows, he felt a surge of Qi-blood in his body. Blood was flowing from his hands, his hands were trembling, and he could barely hold his war knife.
