286: Mu Ruxue's Story

After the test, Lu Xingchen said with a smile, "Not bad, very good. With such powerful talent, you're naturally superior!"

With that, Lu Xingchen took out two scrolls and handed them to Mu Ruxue, saying with a smile, "Xiao Xue, you can put away your profound rank low grade Martial Skill. Here are two Martial Skills for Cultivating Soul Power, both are earth rank low grade. One is called 'Soul Nurturing Tower', a Legacy Martial Skill of the Lingyun Sect, specifically for Disciples at the Martial King Realm. The other is called 'Spirit Burning Art', which I obtained during my travels. Which one do you want?"

Hearing this, Mu Ruxue's face lit up with joy.

Wasn't it for this Cultivation Technique for Cultivating Soul Power that she went through so much trouble to join the Lingyun Sect?

She hesitated for a moment, then softly said, "I'd rather have this Spirit Burning Art. I believe that if a teacher values and Cultivates it, this Spirit Burning Art must have something extraordinary about it!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "You little girl, you certainly know how to talk."

With that, Lu Xingchen handed the Spirit Burning Art to Mu Ruxue.

But he wasn't finished. He took out three more scrolls from his Storage Ring and softly said, "I'll give you these three Martial Skills as well. One is the earth rank low grade Heaven Swallowing Art, which can temporarily increase your Realm. One is the earth rank low grade Startling Soul Roar, a Soul attack method. One is the earth rank low grade 'Crescent Moon Art', used to Cultivate Dou Qi."

"Your current Realm is too low. Using earth rank low grade Martial Skills is enough. You wouldn't be able to learn higher-grade ones. When your Realm Breakthroughs, come find me for more!"

Mu Ruxue stared at Lu Xingchen in a daze, her eyes slightly red, and softly said, "How can a Junior like me be worthy of such generous treatment from a teacher?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "You are my Personal Disciple. Isn't it only right for me to give you Martial Skills? Follow me, and you'll only get more benefits in the future. Besides, Earth-Rank Martial Skills are really nothing to me; I've already started using Heaven Rank Martial Skills."

Hearing this, Mu Ruxue was greatly surprised.

"If I'm not mistaken, on Tianyuan Continent, Heaven, Earth, Profound, Yellow, has Teacher already begun using the highest grade of Martial Skills?"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and chuckled, "Of course! However, the Martial Skills I use are only low-grade heaven rank."

Mu Ruxue's eyes were full of adoration, and she clapped her hands, softly saying, "Wow, Teacher is truly amazing. Being able to become Teacher's Disciple is the luckiest thing in my life!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "This is lucky? It's not over yet! This 'cold shadow shield' is an earth rank low grade Spiritual Artifact; take it for self-defense!"

With that, Lu Xingchen handed the cold shadow shield to Mu Ruxue.

Mu Ruxue took the cold shadow shield, put it into her Storage Ring, bowed to Lu Xingchen, and softly said, "Thank you, Teacher, for the gift!"

Lu Xingchen waved his hand and smiled, "These are all what you deserve. However, what I can give you are all external things. I myself have just stepped into the Dao of Martial Arts and also need a lot of time to Cultivate. Normally, I won't stay on Lingyuan Peak; I usually Cultivate in the Soul Nurturing Tower."

"If you encounter any problems in your Cultivation, first ask the Three Elders and Saint Li Yuechang. If you really can't solve it, then come to me, understand?"

Mu Ruxue nodded slightly, "Teacher has given me enough already. I can't be insatiably greedy; these are sufficient. I will diligently Cultivate with Senior Brother Li Yuechang normally!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Thank you for your understanding. Since that's the case, you should go back and rest. I still need to continue Cultivating."

Mu Ruxue softly said, "Teacher, don't rush, I still have one more request!"

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was slightly taken aback.

Before, he had been the one doing all the talking. This was Mu Ruxue's first time speaking up proactively.

What she was about to say must be very important!

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "You go ahead and speak!"

Mu Ruxue said in a deep voice, "Our Mu Family in Wangshu City also has some influence. My parents both have Martial Emperor cultivation. But the Mu Family and the Li Family often have disputes over industries and territories, leading to frequent friction."

"Originally, both sides were evenly matched, maintaining a delicate balance. But a month ago, the Li Family head somehow found a Martial Ancestor Expert, who annihilated our entire Mu Family. It was only thanks to my parents' voluntary self-detonation to buy time that I was able to escape."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen's expression darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "You want me to help you get revenge?"

Mu Ruxue immediately knelt down to Lu Xingchen, crying, "To avenge my parents is my greatest wish in this life. If Teacher can help me fulfill this dream, no matter the trials, I will follow Teacher!"

Lu Xingchen quickly helped her up and said in a deep voice, "It's easy to kill a Martial Ancestor, but I don't want to personally intervene."

Hearing this, Mu Ruxue was slightly stunned, her voice still choked with sobs.

"Why?"

"Because this is your personal grudge. I am your teacher; imparting the Dao and teaching knowledge is my responsibility, but helping you get revenge is not within my duties."

"Of course, more importantly, Cultivation is like sailing against the current; you either advance or retreat. This Li Family, which annihilated your entire Family, can just become the motivation to push you forward. I hope that one day, I can see you personally take revenge!"

Hearing this, Mu Ruxue pondered for a moment, finally understanding Lu Xingchen's meaning, and said in a deep voice, "Junior understands. Thank you, Teacher, for your painstaking efforts!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "It's good that you understand. With your talent, Cultivating to the Martial Ancestor Realm within three years is not difficult. The day of revenge won't be too far!"

Mu Ruxue nodded heavily and said in a deep voice, "I understand! In that case, I'll go Cultivate first."

Lu Xingchen waved his hand and smiled, "That's right. Pressure creates motivation, and I also need to go Cultivate."

Mu Ruxue once again knelt and bowed to Lu Xingchen, then flew towards Lingyuan Peak.

Lu Xingchen had given her so many Martial Skills at once; she needed to spend a lot of time comprehending and learning them.

With Mu Ruxue gone, Lu Xingchen didn't stay idle either. He spread his Dou Qi Wings and flew away from the Lingyun Sect, arriving at the teahouse in Wangshu City.

It was still the same storyteller as last time, and still the same story.

It seemed the story of War God His Excellency's Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin was very popular!

Brewing a pot of dragon green tea with the teahouse's hot water, Lu Xingchen waited for half an hour.

Then Li Three once again sat opposite Lu Xingchen and said with a smile, "Brother Big Strong One, what news do you want to inquire about this time?"

Lu Xingchen took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice, "I heard that there are two Martial Dao Families in Wangshu City, the Mu Family and the Li Family. A month ago, the Mu Family was annihilated by the Li Family. I want all the information on everyone in the Li Family and the information on the Martial Ancestor Expert that the Li Family hired. Can you do that?"

Li Three chuckled, "One hundred thousand gold coins. The information will be delivered immediately after payment!"
