The news that the bandits in Heishi Village had been completely wiped out spread throughout Zhongzhou like a spring breeze.

The people clapped their hands in joy, beat drums and gongs, and set off firecrackers. The scene of celebration was like a festival.

The Changfeng Town government specially posted a large notice, as if to commend the heroes who suppressed the bandits, but it was more like showing off the town's achievements to the outside world.

However, there was no mention of heroes in the notice.

Most people only knew that Heishi Village was destroyed and burned to ruins, but they didn't know who destroyed it.

When everyone was on their way back, Lu Xunhuan took out some silver notes and gave several thousand taels each to several constables and the lucky woman.

He bribed everyone into keeping the matter and his identity secret.

Afterwards, he entrusted several detectives to bring the woman back to Changfeng Town safely, and everyone parted ways.

Therefore, after returning to the yamen, the detectives presented the heads of the three leaders of Heishi Village and reported to the mayor as instructed by Lu Xunhuan.

As for the stolen goods and money, no one brought back a penny. They only said that they were reduced to ashes in the fire.

Therefore, the mayor followed Lu Xunhuan's instructions and only wrote a notice to eliminate the bandits in Heishi Village, but did not mention the heroes who eliminated the bandits at all.

According to Lu Xunhuan's wishes, the three thousand taels of reward were collected by the boss lady Zi Yan, which was equivalent to giving it to Zi Yan.

In this way, he bribed Zi Yan's family, which was a disguised bribe to the mayor.

In a blink of an eye, ten days had passed since Lu Xunhuan returned to Dengtianmen.

He gave all the gold and silver bills and valuables he brought back to Senior Sister Bai.

Senior Sister Bai was so happy that the smile on her face stayed on for several days.

Sometimes I wake up laughing.

Dengtianmen has never been so rich since its founding.

If the number of personnel does not increase and the sect does not expand, with those gold and silver notes, the daily food and clothing expenses of these twenty or so people will not be spent in thirty years.

After Lu Xunhuan handed the money and things to Senior Sister Bai, he put the matter aside.

Apart from his endless daily insights into condensing Qi into pills, what he cared about most was the progress of Senior Sister Lan and Senior Sister Bai in their cultivation.

So far, Senior Sister Lan has cultivated to the seventh level of the Phoenix Realm, and Senior Sister Bai has cultivated to the sixth level of the Phoenix Realm.

Lu Xunhuan might have to wait for some time for them to break through the Fengchu realm and enter the Qinxin realm.

It has been ten days since he came back, but he still has not made any progress in condensing his Qi into pills.

He finally couldn't hold it in any longer and asked for advice.

When it was late at night and the door of the hall was closed, he took out the peach blossom fan and summoned his female ghost master.

"Master, I have been meditating for many days but have made no progress. Could you please share with me your experience and insights in condensing Qi into pills?"

The ghost girl's master shook her head and said, "To comprehend this, you have to rely on yourself. When you are in the state of becoming one with the heaven and earth, how can you grasp the momentary inspiration? It is difficult for me to help you."

Lu Xun Huan was a little discouraged: "Then what should I do, Master? There is no monster beast. How about I go kill a monster beast and take its inner core and try it out."

The ghost girl master said, "That method is not the best choice. It's just a last resort. You have to endure immense pain. If it fails, there's no turning back. Your life will be over..."

She sighed and said, "In my opinion, you are very talented. There is nothing you can't comprehend."

Lu Xun Huan scratched his head: "Is there something wrong?"

The female ghost master asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Lu Xunhuan did not answer. Was he going to tell his female ghost master that he was a time traveler?

He suspected it was because he came from that modern society. In that modern society, there was no such thing as cultivating immortals. Cultivating immortals only appeared in online novels.

Therefore, he had no idea about cultivating immortals before.

That society is an examination society, and he can write the answers according to the questions.

But if you want to improve your strength through perception, you need concentration and meditation.

Precisely because he has a modern way of thinking, perhaps his thoughts and meditation are what he lacks the most.

This is what is called a shortcoming. Concentration and meditation may be his biggest shortcoming. He does not have that talent.

After a moment of self-doubt, he said, "Master, how about I take a break for a while, practice something else, and then come back to gain enlightenment."

The ghost girl nodded and said, "Okay, what do you want to practice?"

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Master, do you have any advanced swordsmanship?"

The ghost girl master said, "Of course I have. There are many sword techniques in the world, but only a few are proficient. I didn't mention sword techniques to you because I was a little hesitant about whether to teach you sword techniques or not."

Lu Xunhuan asked again: "Why?"

The ghost girl's master said, "Every family's swordsmanship is forbidden to be passed on to outsiders. You used my master's advanced immortal cultivation method. As long as you don't tell others about it and don't pass it on, others won't know what immortal cultivation method you used. But swordsmanship is different. As long as you use it, it may be seen."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "I understand. Once others find out, they will investigate where my sword skills come from, and I will be in trouble."

The ghost girl pondered for a moment and said, "Our meeting as master and disciple was probably destined. I will teach you, just think of it as heaven's arrangement."

Lu Xun Huan nodded again: "Master is wise, God's arrangement is the greatest."

The ethereal ghost figure of the female ghost master retreated five feet, and out of nowhere, a green, shining object appeared in her hand, like a sword.

However, the green object was just as ethereal as she was.

"Good disciple, watch carefully."

On the second day, everyone was surprised to find that Lu Xunhuan no longer stayed in the hall all day.

He was holding a long sword, practicing sword skills alone in the training ground, sweating profusely.

What kind of sword technique is that?

Nothing anyone has ever seen.

What everyone learned was the ordinary swordsmanship of Dengtianmen. How could it compare to the superb swordsmanship of his?

A group of women, accompanied by two boys aged eight or nine, stopped doing anything and just hid aside to watch, fascinated.

It's useless to just watch it.

Lu Xunhuan danced so fast that they could only see a flower of sword and could not make out his moves at all.

Although the announcement from Changfeng Town did not mention the bandit-suppression hero, many people knew that he went to Heishi Village to suppress the bandits.

At least the mayor knew, several detectives knew, that lucky woman knew, and the proprietress Zi Yan also knew.

In addition, some core members of the town government also knew about it.

As the saying goes, there is no wall that is impenetrable.

The mayor repeatedly requested confidentiality at the internal meeting, but whenever someone came to investigate the matter secretly, there would always be someone who could not resist the temptation of money and leaked the secret.

It is still unknown who leaked the information.

A few days after the mayor of Changfeng Town submitted the bandit suppression report to Zhongzhou Prefecture, many people in Zhongzhou City already knew that it was a man named Lu Xunhuan from Dengtianmen who destroyed Heishi Village.

As a result, Lu Xunhuan became the focus of secret discussions among some groups.

In the territory of Zhou Empire, there are many sects of immortal cultivation in places with sufficient supplies and good conditions.

But within the provincial capital of Zhongzhou, a remote area of ​​the empire, there is only one immortal cultivation sect, the Dengtian Sect.

In everyone's impression, Dengtianmen's strength is basically not worth mentioning.

Dengtian Sect has been established for thirty years. During these thirty years, the Zhongzhou branch of the Xianyou Association has sent disciples of Dengtian Sect to participate in the imperial immortal cultivation sect competition many times.

But he never went to Tianmen once.

Because I don't have the ability, I won't be able to win any competition if I go there. Not only will it be embarrassing, but I will also have to spend money on travel expenses.

Besides, when the old man Dengtianmen founded the sect, he was just trying to cheat the people by giving them free food and drink. He didn't have the ambition to really develop and expand the sect.

Those in Zhongzhou who knew about it were all puzzled. How could a small sect like Dengtianmen, which had no power at all, dare to accept the bounty order and wipe out the stubborn bandits in Heishi Village?

In a large mansion, Qiao Zheng, the chairman of the Zhongzhou branch of the Immortal Friends Association, called his daughter Qiao Yunzhi to the study alone.

"Did you know Lu Xunhuan the last time you went to Dengtianmen to deal with a problem?"

Qiao Yunzhi lowered her head and said, "I know him. He is now the new leader of Dengtianmen."

"What?" Qiao Zheng was very surprised.

At that time, he sent his daughter and two other members of the branch to Dengtianmen to investigate, but later forgot about it.

So he had no idea what the outcome was.

Only then did he realize that Lu Xunhuan, who went to suppress the bandits, was the new leader of Dengtianmen.

He then asked, "How strong is he?"

Qiao Yunzhi went to Dengtianmen to investigate, initially only for the benefits. As for Lu Xunhuan's strength, she had no idea at all.

She said randomly, "Ninth level of Phoenix Beginning Realm."

She raised her head and said, "Dad, if he touches the interests of our Immortal Friends Association, I will just go and warn him. Dad, please don't send anyone to deal with him for the time being, okay?"

Qiao Zheng's eyes sparkled: "What do you mean?"

How could Qiao Yunzhi dare to say that Lu Xunhuan was the young master? She had completely mistaken Lu Xunhuan for the young master. She had promised to keep her mouth shut, so naturally she couldn't even tell her father.

She didn't know what to say, so she could only say, "It's meaningless."

Seeing her like that, Qiao Zheng started to think wrongly and misunderstand.

He said angrily: "Get out, you useless thing."
