Chapter 8: Moon Flower Gate

  Xuanyuan stuffed the two bags of money into his waist pack, turned around, and saw Yin Zhenluo staring at him from a distance. He rubbed his head, and Xuanyuan chuckled awkwardly for a few moments before walking up to Yin Zhenluo. Only then did he burst out laughing and say:

  "Beautiful master, this is a desolate and remote place, there's nothing good to entertain you with. These few days can be considered as having a not small harvest. In a few days, I'll enter the Moon Desolate City to buy some good things for you."

  Yin Zhenluo shook her head and smiled:

  "You don't have to pay me, you can keep the money yourself. After all, I only taught you for a month and six days have already passed."

  After finishing speaking, Yin Zhenluo left with a swaying motion. Since entering the cultivation world, Xuan Yuan had increasingly discovered the terrifying aspects of Yin Zhenluo. This woman was absolutely not someone he could launch a sneak attack on, and her words were simply too profound to fathom. Yin Zhenluo's words made Xuan Yuan feel somewhat downhearted, indeed, she had only taught him for a month after all.

  Looking at the back of Yīn Zhēn Luò, Xuān Yuǎn was speechless. Originally planning to go out and take a stroll, Xuān Yuǎn decided to continue cultivating instead. At least he had to break through to the Dòu Shì realm, then see if there would be an opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Yīn Zhēn Luò. By that time, whatever he wanted to do, he could do it himself. Maybe by that time, there would even be an opportunity to let her stay and teach him how to cultivate.

  Xuanyuan sat on a rock, facing the high-hanging sun, and began to operate the "Tianlong Lianlin Jue", once again unblocking his body's pores and washing with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

  Watching Xuan Yuan work so hard on his cultivation, Yin Zhen Luo simply let out a soft sigh:

  "If the Yin family knew that I had received such a talented disciple, they would probably take you back to cultivate you seriously. However, at this time, I have no home to return to, and even you may be implicated, so we can't stay here for long. Now, I can only teach you a little, just a little."

  Yin Zhenluo quietly watched Xuan Yuan cultivate, Xuan Yuan spent five hours, and turned the "Tian Long Lian Lin Jue" into ten large circles, with a loud bang.

  Xuanyuan suddenly broke through to the power of ten bulls at this moment.

  Yin Zhenluo was taken aback:

  "Has he broken through to the Warrior Boundary? No, even the lowest level of the Warrior Boundary would have at least twelve heads of cattle power, how could he only have ten?"

  Suddenly, Yin Zhenluo seemed to remember something and whispered:

  "Could he be someone with a special physique? Having reached the tenth level of Ox Force and still not having refined his skin, it should be so. I wonder what kind of power his peak as a warrior will have?"

  Xuan Yuan, who was still cultivating, felt that his body had become much more comfortable and a part of his pores had been opened up by himself. However, he felt that there were still many pores in his body that had not been opened up yet. Although he was delighted in his heart, he was not satisfied. He took out the "Dragon Scale Powder" and applied it to his body again, enduring the stinging pain and itching, and once again began to circulate the "Heavenly Dragon Cultivation Technique".

  Another day has passed.

  Downstream of this creek, Qian Jue's face was as black as ink, listening to the two subordinates crying and saying that Xuan Yuan had arrived with at least eight oxen strength. With a single glance, they didn't even have the chance to fight back, making Qian Jue feel inexplicably annoyed.

  That slave of the Moon family, who possessed the strength of six oxen and had seven or eight teeth knocked out by Xuan Yuan, was furious and bellowed with a mouthful of air leaks:

  "Qian Guanjia, you must avenge us! He robbed me of the money I was going to use to pay respects to you. He's just upstream from here, and we've been busy searching for him at the burial grounds these past few days."

  "That's right, there was also a silver wolf by his side..." Another Moon House slave, whose body was covered in claw marks and had a large chunk of flesh bitten out of his buttocks, let out a vicious howl.

  "That is to say, that kid now has at least eight oxen of strength. Hmph, even if he reaches nine oxen of strength, I'm not afraid. Bare-handed and empty-fisted, what can he do? With all my might, I'll unleash the power of this 'Venomous Snake Whip', and even a warrior wouldn't dare to take it lightly. I don't believe he can withstand it."

  Qian Kuai's face sank like water, his whole face full of resentment and venom, he couldn't wait to kill Xuan Yuan. These two were his own doing, personally cultivated by him, every month they would give him a lot of money. Now, unexpectedly, this little brat had crossed him, since he had touched his own interests, he absolutely wouldn't show mercy.

  "Go, go upstream, I'm going to whip this kid to death." Qian Ke picked up a poisonous snake whip from his hand. This "poisonous snake whip" was an inferior magic weapon. Anyone who was whipped by it would become numb all over their body and lose some of their combat power. That's the ferocity of this poisonous snake whip. Even if someone with a fighter's boundary was accidentally whipped and broke through the skin, the toxin would invade their body and reduce their combat power by half.

  Qian Qiao's eyes lit up, and in his sleeve was a hidden dark mark called the "Venomous Snake Mark", which was also a low-grade artifact used for assassination. The toxicity contained in the "Venomous Snake Whip" was negligible compared to this "Venomous Snake Mark". The poison on it could kill a mature demon bear with at least thirty times the strength of an ox, unless it encountered a highly advanced demon bear with an inner elixir, which would be immune to its poison. However, if used in conjunction with human efforts, it could slowly exhaust and kill the target without any problem.

  Qian Kui led a team of seven slaves, among whom he himself possessed the strength of nine oxen, and three others had the strength of seven oxen. The other four were all warriors with the strength of six oxen. They rushed straight towards the upper reaches of the stream, leaving behind only one sentence for the two people who were knocked down by Xuan Yuan.

  "You all go back and take good care of your injuries. People from the Moon Flower Gate will be coming to the Moon Desolate City in a few days, and they will select some people with exceptional qualifications as their disciples. Yongfu and Yonglai have clearly lost their chance already. When Young Master Yue is selected, let's see if you can get some spots to follow him to the Moon Flower Gate, it all depends on how filial you are."

  Two slaves' bodies shook, and they immediately nodded repeatedly, their faces filled with excitement. If they could get this quota, it would mean that they had a chance to turn their lives around in the future. The Moon Flower Gate was a major sect for cultivators, and the Moon Wasteland City was just a small city under its jurisdiction.

  Just as Qian Ke led a group of people to kill their way upstream, Xuan Yuan didn't hesitate to apply the 'Dragon Scale Powder' on his body again. As expected, his cultivation progress accelerated significantly, and Xuan Yuan felt that his absorption of the spiritual energy from heaven and earth to refine his skin had become much faster.

  Unconsciously, Xuan Yuan broke through another Ox Force and reached eleven Ox Forces.

  At this moment, Xuan Yuan's ears moved, and he felt that a group of people were approaching his direction. The hairs on Gu Xing's body also stood up at this instant, emitting a low growl, and saw eight human shadows quickly approaching. Only one middle-aged man holding a poisonous snake whip, with a sinister smile on his face, led a group of vicious servants like wolves and tigers to approach him.

  Xuanyuan cautiously took a step back, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at Qian Kuai. In Xuanyuan's memory, it was this person who had whipped himself almost to death, clearly considering himself less than a dog in his eyes. He had only been playing with him symbolically, like a cat playing with a mouse. Who would have thought that the main culprit behind the great injustice would come knocking on his door today?

  Xuanyuan had no reason to retreat now.

  "Little brat, I knew you were here. You're dead for sure today." Qian Kuai didn't say another word and swung the poisonous snake whip in his hand, making a sharp cracking sound as it struck towards Xuan Yuan.
