245: Set out again
Lu Chaoyang turned to look at Lin Wanqing and said in a deep voice, "I heard that the Human Race's Kindling/Sacred Fire is also called Lin Wanqing. Could it be Miss Wanqing yourself?"
Lin Wanqing nodded slightly and said softly, "That's right, it's me."
Lu Chaoyang nodded heavily.
"War God and Kindling/Sacred Fire, you two are a match made in heaven!"
Lin Wanqing smiled and said, "I actually feel like I'm reaching too high. My becoming the Kindling/Sacred Fire was all due to good luck, but Big Strong One became the War God step by step through his own efforts."
Lu Xingchen waved his hand repeatedly and said with a bitter smile, "Miss Wanqing, you think too highly of me. I was just lucky. It was only because I fortunately obtained the immortal slaying sword that the four War God His Excellency could have a medium to transmit power, which then infused the power of a Saint into me."
"Otherwise, I would just be an ordinary Cangxuan Sect Inner Sect Disciple."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing's eyebrows slightly raised.
"I don't care, our Big Strong One is the best!"
Lu Chaoyang patted Lu Xingchen's shoulder and said with a smile, "You're being humble now. How long do you plan to stay home this time?"
Lu Xingchen said in a low voice, "Three days. I mainly came back to see you all. I still have a very important matter at hand."
Lu Chaoyang smiled and said, "I understand. You're older now, you stand higher than me, and you see farther than me. It's normal to have many things of your own to do. Consider these three days a vacation for yourself, and get some good rest! I'll accompany you the whole time."
Just like that, Lu Xingchen stayed in the General's Residence for three days.
His father also put aside his heavy military duties and specifically took time to spend with him.
As the host, Lu Chaoyang led the four to experience the customs and culture of the Dayan Kingdom.
During this period, King Xiao Long hosted a welcoming banquet for Lu Xingchen.
He inherently disliked such ostentatious occasions, so he ignored Xiao Long, only sending him a profound grade high-rank Spiritual Artifact.
Xiao Long was somewhat displeased by Lu Xingchen's disregard.
But as soon as he saw the Spiritual Artifact sent by the General's Residence, his displeasure immediately vanished.
The value of the Spiritual Artifact was only one reason; more importantly, Xiao Long realized that Lu Xingchen could casually produce a profound grade high-rank Spiritual Artifact, indicating his immensely deep foundation.
Although he didn't know what kind of position Lu Xingchen held in the Cangxuan Sect, his status and strength must already be far above his own.
Thus, Lu Xingchen's disregard was not disrespect for an elder, but rather perfectly reasonable.
Three days passed quickly, and it was time to bid farewell to his parents.
The break was over; next, Lu Xingchen would face more challenges on his cultivation path!
Fortunately, he was not alone.
Before leaving, Lu Xingchen called his father aside privately and handed him half of the Xuan Rank Martial Skills and xuan-rank spirit artifacts from his Storage Ring.
It wasn't that Lu Xingchen was stingy and unwilling to give Earth Rank Spirit Artifacts; it was that his father's cultivation was limited, and he couldn't use earth-rank spirit artifacts.
If the matter of possessing earth-rank spirit artifacts were to spread, it would also bring extra trouble to his father.
Lu Chaoyang looked at the room full of Spiritual Artifacts and Martial Skills, completely stunned.
"Xiao Chen, there are hundreds of Spiritual Artifacts and Martial Skills in this room. Are they all yours?"
Lu Xingchen nodded slightly: "That's right, Father. I acquired them over these past few years from various Secret Realms and missions. I have already reached the Martial Ancestor Realm, so I can't use these xuan-rank spirit artifacts. It's better to give them to you to develop the Dayan Kingdom."
Lu Chaoyang gave him a thumbs up: "Then you are truly impressive!"
Lu Xingchen chuckled, "It's not over yet!"
With that, he touched his Storage Ring, and one hundred Poji Pills (Extreme Breaking Pills) appeared in the room.
Lu Chaoyang was astonished again.
"What a rich Medicinal Pill fragrance! Xiao Chen, what kind of Medicinal Pills are these?"
Lu Xingchen chuckled, "sixth-grade elixir poji pill. It once helped me greatly. After taking it, it can improve cultivation Aptitude and also has the special effect of breaking through and then establishing anew."
"It was entirely thanks to its effect of breaking through and then establishing anew that I avoided a crisis."
Lu Chaoyang said in a deep voice, "sixth-grade elixir? I'm only a Martial Spirit. Can I absorb the medicinal power? Will I not explode?"
Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Father, don't worry. Martial Artists of any Realm can take this poji pill. If the medicinal power cannot be fully absorbed at once, it will be stored in the body and slowly released over time."
"Moreover, the earlier one improves their cultivation Aptitude, the greater the benefit. Father, you don't need to hesitate."
"However, each person can only take one poji pill in their lifetime. Father, you take one yourself, and use the others to Cultivate the strength of the Dayan Kingdom!"
Lu Chaoyang sighed softly, "Giving a sixth-grade elixir to a mere Martial Spirit to consume, Xiao Chen, you truly are wasting a treasure!"
Lu Xingchen chuckled, "I am an Alchemist myself; refining these Poji Pills (extreme breaking pills) only takes a few days. I'm just giving these things to Father to play with."
"I know your personality, Father. If I let you do nothing and just lie on a chair sunbathing every day, you'd go crazy. It's better to let you expand territory and develop the Dayan Kingdom's national power; at least you'll have something to do."
"But Father, remember, it's just for fun. If you encounter any trouble, come to Zhongzhou to find me anytime. In the future, I will adventure in Zhongzhou under the name 'Lu Dazhuang'."
Lu Chaoyang nodded heavily: "I understand!"
After bidding farewell to his father, Lu Xingchen, Lin Wanqing, Yun Li, Mu Chun, and Xiao You walked out of the Dayan Kingdom's royal city.
Lin Wanqing said softly, "Big Strong One, I've been out for quite a while now. It's time for me to return to the Orthodox Alliance Headquarters to Cultivate. Otherwise, Uncle Ning will worry. Let's part ways here!"
Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Since we're separating, how about a hug?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing's pretty face flushed slightly.
With Mu Chun and Yun Li here, she was indeed a bit embarrassed.
But thinking of the long separation ahead, she still mustered her courage and gently hugged Lu Xingchen.
Immediately, Mu Chun took out a spirit formation seed.
Inside was a one-time Teleportation Array, which could transport them from anywhere in Kyushu to the Orthodox Alliance Headquarters at any time.
The spirit formation seed was activated, and Lin Wanqing and Mu Chun stepped into the teleportation array one after another, disappearing from the spot.
Yun Li said softly, "Xingchen, Miss Wanqing has left. Where should we go next? Directly to Zhongzhou?"
Lu Xingchen shook his head slightly: "I need to go back to the Demon Domain with Xiao You first to help him contend for the Clan Chief position of the Netherworld Clan. Once everything settles, then I'll head to Zhongzhou to join my master."
Yun Li nodded slightly and said softly, "Okay, I'll listen to whatever you say! My Realm has also risen to Martial Ancestor. Although I might not be able to help you much on this trip to the Demon Domain, I definitely won't hold you back."
Lu Xingchen waved his hand grandly: "I've rested enough; it's time to set off again! Demon Domain, Prodigies of the Netherworld Clan, I, Lu Xingchen, am coming!"
