13: Chapter 11 arrives at Wu Mansion and there is a conflict at the gate

Three days later, the Xuan Mountain Jiang Family. After several days of reconstruction, the former Hegemon Sect had completely transformed into the Jiang Family's new stronghold. People came and went, and the place was bustling with activity.

From time to time, the shouts of guards could be heard from the entrance, announcing which power or Family had come to visit. It was truly lively.

Ever since the news spread that the Hegemon Sect had been annihilated by Jiang Xuan, the surrounding powers and cities were completely stirred up, coming one after another to pay their respects. The City Lord of White Jade City even broke his son's legs to atone for his sins.

The current Jiang Family had already become the foremost Family power within a hundred-mile radius, inspiring awe. Jiang Xuan, in particular, became a legend in the hearts of all young men and women.

On the peak of the back mountain, Jiang Xuan sat cross-legged, his eyes closed. "Phew, I'll first refine the Heaven And Earth Treasure and see how much my Bloodline Realm value can increase. System, refine!"

Buzz! A bronze melting furnace suddenly appeared above Jiang Xuan's head. As Jiang Xuan's words fell, countless Spiritual Plants, Spirit Stones... were sucked into the furnace. As the furnace body rotated, they transformed into a pure energy that entered Jiang Xuan's body.

Ding! Refinement successful. Current Bloodline Realm value: 6000|10000.

"Still not enough? However, this time it increased by a full five thousand, not far from ten thousand. Next time, I must Break Through to the second layer in one go!" Jiang Xuan secretly vowed in his heart.

"Next, it's time to Break Through my Cultivation. System, consume limit points to Break Through!" He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Ding! Five thousand limit points consumed. Congratulations to the Host for Breaking Through to the Spirit Infant Realm!

As the System's prompt finished, thunder and lightning suddenly flashed and roared within Jiang Xuan's Dantian and Qi Sea, accompanied by violent winds, like a scene of doomsday.

The usually majestic crimson Dragon seemed to sense something terrifying and had long since hidden far away.

Beside the chaos stone tablet, Spiritual Qi continuously condensed and compressed, finally forming a white pearl. "Crack, crack, crack," suddenly, cracks appeared on the surface of the pearl.

As time passed, the pearl finally shattered completely, and an incomparably handsome small figure sat cross-legged beside the chaos stone tablet.

Looking closely, he was identical to Jiang Xuan. "As expected of the limit, ordinary people's Spirit Infants are infants, while mine is an adult."

"From now on, any Spirit Infant Realm expert will be like an infant before me, easily extinguished!"

Ding! Congratulations to the Host for Breaking Through to the Spirit Infant Realm. The System Mall is now open, permission Rank one. Please check it yourself, Host.

"Oh? Has the System Mall finally opened?" Jiang Xuan glanced at the items in the mall and found that they were all things useful for those below the Spirit Infant Realm.

They happened to be suitable for him: Cultivation Techniques, Medicinal Pills, Formations... anything related to Cultivation was available.

Ultimately, Jiang Xuan spent two thousand points to exchange for a set of Cultivation Techniques, a set of Martial Skills, and a Formation.

The Martial Skill was the Wind Thunder Sword Art, divided into seven swords. The seven swords combined could injure an Early Stage Spirit Connection expert. The Cultivation Technique was the Divine Concealment Art, which could hide one's aura.

This was quite special, a unique existence of the System. Although it was on the first floor of the mall, with this Divine Concealment Art, even the strongest person would be unable to discern Jiang Xuan's true Cultivation.

The last item, Jiang Xuan chose for his Family, was the Yin and Yang Two Poles Formation, which could be used for both offense and defense, and was applicable to anyone below the Spirit Infant Realm.

With a casual wave of Jiang Xuan's hand, the Jiang Family was enveloped within the entire Formation. "I will hand over control to my father when I leave."

Another three days passed. Late at night, at the foot of Xuan Mountain, Jiang Xuan took one last look at the Jiang Family, then turned and left. During the day, he had arranged everything; it was time to rendezvous at the City Lord's Mansion.

After he left, a figure emerged from the darkness. "Xuaner, take care."

Half a month later, two figures, an old man and a young man, appeared outside Donglin City. "Is this the largest city in Donglin Prefecture?"

Jiang Xuan looked up at the enormous city, whose city gate alone was dozens of meters high, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

Yang Lin, who was beside him, saw this and teased, "I thought you weren't interested in anything, kid. A city gate shocked you?"

"It's my first time seeing it, what's so strange?" Jiang Xuan pouted.

"Let's go, we'll head straight to the academy." Yang Lin was speechless, then took Jiang Xuan and flew into the air.

The city gate guards saw someone disregarding the city's rules, which prohibited flying in the air, and were about to stop him. However, upon seeing the white-haired old man's face, they retreated in astonishment.

The Donglin Prefecture Martial Dao Academy was located in the central area of the city. At the entrance, academy Disciples wearing different clothes constantly went in and out. "This is the academy," Yang Lin said as he landed with Jiang Xuan.

"Young friend, please wait here for a moment. I'll go inside the academy to arrange some matters concerning you. Someone will come out to pick you up shortly."

Jiang Xuan cupped his fists. "Alright, Senior Yang, please go ahead and be busy."

After Senior Yang left, Jiang Xuan carefully observed the Donglin Prefecture's top academy. The stone-built courtyard gate was three zhang high, and on either side stood half-man-wide profound iron lions. Runes flowed in the lions' eyes, as if they had come alive.

Feeling that terrifying aura, Jiang Xuan's expression changed. "This is... a Formation? This aura... I'm afraid it's even more terrifying than the fifth-Rank Yin and Yang Two Poles Formation I set up in the Jiang Family."

As expected of the top academy in a Prefecture; just the grand Formation at the entrance was enough to inspire awe.

After calming himself slightly, Jiang Xuan no longer paid attention. With his arms crossed, he stood silently in place.

At the academy entrance, a group of students were gathered around a young man with a feminine appearance, saying something. "Senior Brother Guo, all the Spirit Stones collected this month are here. Please accept them," one of them said fawningly, taking out a bag of Spirit Stones with a ingratiating tone.

The young man named Senior Brother Guo, with his feminine face, showed no change in expression. He merely glanced at them casually and responded with a faint sound.

Suddenly, he seemed to have spotted some treasure, his eyes gleaming with a greedy expression.

A woman in yellow slowly walked over. The woman appeared to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with a beautiful face. The only flaw was her upturned almond-shaped eyes, which made her look somewhat harsh.

"It's Wu Qingqing, one of the two great beauties of the Outer Courtyard!" The surrounding people exclaimed, especially the male students, whose eyes were filled with admiration.

"Qingqing, where have you been? Why didn't you come out when I invited you earlier?" Senior Brother Guo walked up to Wu Qingqing, feigning sadness.

Wu Qingqing's delicate brows furrowed, and she snapped, "Guo Feng, how many times have I told you, don't call me Qingqing. We're not suitable."

"Hehe, whether we're suitable or not, we'll only know after trying, right? Over time, you'll realize how good I am." Guo Feng said shamelessly, as if he was used to it.

"You!" Wu Qingqing's face flushed with anger. Suddenly, she saw Jiang Xuan not far away, her eyes darted, and an idea formed in her mind.

She walked over, stretched out her hands, and wrapped her arms around Jiang Xuan's arm, saying sweetly, "Guo Feng, just give up. I already have a Dao Companion. Look, it's him."

Guo Feng froze, then his feminine face darkened. The few people behind him looked gleeful. "This kid is going to be unlucky."
