Lu Chuan had finally managed to suppress the chaos that had emerged within him.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and went to take a shower.
“I don’t know if it’s because of the breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm, but this time the eruption of the dragon’s yang power seems much more intense than last.
Just suppressing this chaos took so much effort; I’m afraid I might lose control in a day or two.”
“Maybe I should just agree to the Han family’s terms and get a room with Han Qingci, then I could also get my hands on the Dragon Soul Jade—it would be killing two birds with one stone.”
“But the only problem is that I probably really have to marry Han Qingci, otherwise the Han family will definitely not let me off.”
After the shower, Lu Chuan sat cross-legged on the bed, trying to calm his mind and cultivate.
However, the dragon’s yang power made it completely impossible for him to settle his mind, as if there was a voice constantly urging him in his ear to hurry up and find a woman.
Seeing no way to cultivate, Lu Chuan simply gave up and took out the wooden token he had obtained from the All Joy Sect, which was carved with a tower, and started fiddling with it.
He tried to use his Divine Sense to infiltrate the wooden token to peek inside, but it was as if there was an invisible barrier around the token, blocking his Divine Sense from entering.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t penetrate it.
“This thing can actually block Divine Sense to this extent; there must be some big secret hidden inside.”
Lu Chuan stared at the wooden token, thought for a while, then concentrated a stream of Spiritual Power on his palm and attacked the token with it.
The Spiritual Power hit the wooden token, but was directly rebounded.
Lu Chuan, caught off guard, was almost injured by his own Spiritual Power.
“To be able to rebound power, it’s not simple.”
He pondered again, then bit his finger and let a drop of blood fall onto it.
“Logically, if this thing is really something extraordinary, it should be able to bind to a master through blood recognition.”
As the drop of blood fell on the wooden token, it instantly seeped in and then disappeared without a trace.
But Lu Chuan felt no change in the wooden token, nor did he sense any connection forming between him and it.
“Strange, there’s no reaction at all.
To say this thing is special, it truly is, but to say it’s of no use, well, it seems useless too.”
After tinkering with it for a while, Lu Chuan felt mentally exhausted and lay down on the bed, falling into a deep sleep.
Lu Chuan had a dream in which he was surrounded by monsters.
These monsters had terrifying strength; each one had reached the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.
The mere aura they emitted was enough to make him tremble with fear, unable to move.
At that moment, a Linglong Pagoda shining with rainbow light appeared out of nowhere, instantly drawing in all the monsters and suppressing them inside the tower.
Afterward, the tower kept shrinking until it finally flew into Lu Chuan’s body and merged with him.
Upon waking, Lu Chuan’s head felt a bit heavy.
Thinking back on the strange dream he had last night, he found it a bit odd.
“It seems that I studied that wooden token too late into the night, which led to such an odd dream.”
Without giving it much thought, he finished his morning routine, packed up his things, and went downstairs for breakfast.
At the hotel entrance, Lu Chuan pondered for a moment and decided to go to the hospital to inquire whether one’s sexual orientation could be changed.
However, just as he reached the roadside, several people blocked his way.
“Lu Chuan, we meet again,” said the person speaking, none other than Xu Shaoming.
This time, he was accompanied by six bodyguards, all of them skillful experts from the Transcendent Realm.
Lu Chuan glanced at Xu Shaoming and raised an eyebrow, not particularly surprised.
The provincial city was the Xu family’s territory; arriving here, Xu Shaoming would undoubtedly be informed at once.
“What, itching for another lesson?” Lu Chuan asked.
Xu Shaoming, frightened, hurriedly stepped back a few paces closer to the six bodyguards and said, “Don’t…
don’t start anything; I actually came to apologize to you.”
Lu Chuan looked at the six bodyguards behind him and said, “Do you need to bring so many experts to apologize?”
Xu Shaoming said awkwardly, “I’m just being careful in case of any unforeseen situations.”
Lu Chuan smirked and said, “If you really mean to apologize, then give me the thirty hundred-year medicinal herbs you owe me.”
Xu Shaoming quickly replied with a smile, “I’ve prepared all thirty hundred-year medicinal herbs already.
I came to find you to deliver them, but it’s inconvenient to carry so many valuable herbs with me.
I need you to come with me to collect them.”
Lu Chuan gave a cold laugh and said, “You want me to go with you to the Xu family’s place?
Then let your family’s experts deal with me, right?”
Xu Shaoming hurriedly responded, “No, no, no, I know you must have concerns, so I’ve had those thirty medicinal herbs placed inside a teahouse.
That teahouse is only a few hundred meters from the Censorate Department; even if I wanted to do something to you, it would definitely alert the people from the Censorate Department.
It’s not worth the risk.”
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Chuan touched the Sword Nourishing Gourd inside his clothes, thinking that even if Xu Shaoming had indeed set a trap for him, he should have the ability to cope and said, “Fine, I’ll go with you.”
While studying the wooden token last night, he discovered that his Divine Sense had improved with the increase in his power.
Even if he had to use the Sword Nourishing Gourd, though it still consumed a great deal, he wouldn’t be completely weakened.
Even if he couldn’t maintain intense combat, escaping was still viable.
Seeing Lu Chuan agree, Xu Shaoming showed a smile and said, “Let’s go, let’s go.
It’s said that one does not know a true friend until a fight.
I admit my attitude was indeed poor before, but I’ll change.
Let’s become good friends from now on!”
