[Ding! You have learned the special divine ability, Gilded Sand.]

Gilded Sand (level 1): 0/200]

[Ding! You have learned the special divine ability, Formless Squall.]

[Formless Squall (level 1): 0/200]

With the help of the luck talent, Lu Yuan spent three days and three nights before he finally learned these two special divine abilities.

After Lu Yuan successfully learned them, he felt that although his cultivation did not have any obvious changes, his strength had increased by quite a bit.

In fact, the so-called special divine ability was a special skill that combined “active effects” and “passive effects”.

It was just like how after successfully cultivating the Green Flame Technique, Lu Yuan’s lifespan and spiritual energy recovery speed had increased by a lot.

This time, after he successfully cultivated the Gilded Sand and Formless Squall, the toughness and operating speed of his spiritual energy, as well as his body’s constitution, had all received significant improvements.

Among them, Gilded Sand could be perfectly combined with the power of the Nine Guard black tortoiseshell, allowing his defensive power to increase by another level.

However, Lu Yuan’s current cultivation level was not high and he did not have much spiritual energy, so the Gilded Sand he could produce at this point was actually not much.

At most, the Gilded Sand would only be able to cover an arm.

However, once his cultivation increased, he may very well possibly cover his entire body with the Gilded Sand.

Gilded Sand was extraordinary, but the other special divine ability, Formless Squall, had amazing effects as well.

The biggest feature of the Formless Squall was its “formlessness” and “strong wind”.

The spiritual energy wind that was unleashed by Formless Squall was not only very quiet but also very powerful.

Coupled with Lu Yuan’s current Wind-riding Sword Control Technique, if he were to use it against an enemy, the enemy might even be instantly killed before they could even react.

Furthermore, after learning these two special abilities, Lu Yuan also discovered that he could rely on the Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique to merge a portion of the Gilded Sand with the Formless Squall.

Although he was limited by his cultivation and the strength of his soul, and thus could only display a limited amount of it, even if it was just a small portion of the special fusion, its effect and power still made Lu Yuan exclaim in admiration.

The Gilded Sand that had been supplemented by the Formless Squall could kill people without them noticing.

It could come and go without a trace.

Not only was its attack power shocking, but it was also pervasive and extremely difficult to defend against.

All in all, these two special divine abilities greatly enriched Lu Yuan’s combat methods.

He was no longer the weak fighter he used to be!

That being said, learning the divine abilities was one aspect, and using them well was another.

Thus, Lu Yuan spent the last bit of time he had before he left the mountain to familiarize himself with these two skills.

He wanted to try to increase his proficiency in these divine abilities before he left the mountain.

Time flowed by unknowingly in the mountains.

A year later, in the herb fields of the Pharmacist Valley.

” Who, who used the herbs in my herb fields without my permission?!”

Han Yuanshan, who had just returned, looked at his herb fields, which had been emptied by a third, and shouted angrily.

Just as Han Yuanshan was looking for clues about the thief, he suddenly saw an envelope on the table in the room.

He picked up the letter and read it in confusion.

“Dear honored master, when you read this letter, I should already be on my way to the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom.

Although you have emphasized many times that there should not be too much danger on this trip, I have a different view. Master, everything in the world is full of variables. No matter how ordinary and insignificant something was, it may still cause some unexpected changes to happen.

As such, no matter how safe the Great Xia Kingdom’s capital was, human-made disasters may be avoided, but natural disasters are unable to guard against. What if a meteorite fell on the capital while I was still there? With your disciple’s cultivation, if I were to encounter such a natural disaster, death is almost certain.

But as the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for life. How could I object to what you have said? I’m not blaming you for forcing me to go down the mountain, just stating the danger of this trip. Considering this, I think it’s necessary for me to improve my cultivation before leaving the mountain. As such, I have taken it on my own to use some of the medicinal herbs in your herb fields to refine some medicinal pills.

I hope that you will take into account the danger I may go through and not blame me too much. Even if you were present, after knowing this, you would probably allow me to use those herbs, right?

Finally, I wish my dear master all the best and that you can break through to the Nascent Soul Stage as soon as possible!

–Your beloved disciple, Lu Yuan.”

Han Yuanshan held the letter in his hand. He could not even smile and was trembling with anger.

The good news was that the culprit who had laid his hands on the herb fields had been found!

The bad news was that the culprit had run away!

Faced with this situation, Han Yuanshan suddenly felt like he had nowhere to vent his anger.

He couldn’t possibly fly to the Great Xia Kingdom, capture Lu Yuan, and give him a beating, right?

Just when Han Yuanshan was unable to vent his anger, an unlucky man appeared…

“Master, you’re back!” As Bai Dafei entered the herb fields, he smiled and said, “Master, it’s such a coincidence that junior brother seemed to have just left the mountain not long ago. He just happened to miss you. But please don’t blame him for not knowing his manners. He told me to send his regards to you, which means that he still cares for you.”

The unlucky Dafei, who was still talking, did not notice Han Yuanshan’s “cold” expression.

“You mean to say… Your Junior Brother Lu left just not long ago?”

“Yes, 1 was the one who personally sent him down the mountain,” Bai Dafei answered subconsciously, “Then, I saw you come back right after I sent him off, so I came back as soon as possible.”

After hearing this, Han Yuanshan was silent for a moment. Then, he waved at Bai Dafei and said, “Dafei, come here. I have a few words to say to you.”

Looking at the expressionless Han Yuanshan, Bai Dafei suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Danger, danger, danger… There was a situation!

However, Bai Dafei had no way to refuse his master’s order.

In the end, he could only walk to Han Yuanshan unwillingly…

Not long after, wails could be heard from the room.

“Master, why did you suddenly hit me!”

“Why? Do I need a reason to hit you? If I do have to give you a reason, it would be that when you first entered the door, why did you enter with your left foot first? Don’t you know that I hate it when my disciples use their left foot to enter the door first…”

Bai Dafei was speechless.

…

Meanwhile, in the sky outside Qingyun Sect, a seemingly “ordinary” youth was currently riding a flying sword and frantically wiping the sweat off his forehead.

That was a close call. Fortunately, he had been paying attention to the letters in the sect.

He knew that his master would be back soon, so he decisively chose to run away today.

Otherwise, he would have been caught by his master on the spot.

Now that he had already left the mountain, no matter how angry his master was, he couldn’t possibly chase after him to beat him up, right?

After consoling himself, Lu Yuan took out the map and looked at his current location to see how far he was from the capital of Great Xia.

The Great Xia Kingdom’s capital wasn’t far from the Qingyun Sect, to begin with.

Both were located in the center of the Great Xia Kingdom.

If he were to travel with his flying sword, he could reach in about a day.

Currently, Lu Yuan was only about half a day away from the Great Xia Kingdom’s capital.

The new director of the Great Xia Kingdom’s Devil Slayers Division was about to get into position!
