In the south of the city, the infantrymen practiced climbing the city wall using ladders over and over again.

To the west of the city, cavalrymen galloped and hacked at the scarecrows.

Lu Xunhuan looked around in the dust for a while, then flew up to the city wall using his magic weapon.

"Sir, why are you here?"

The prefect looked around and said, "Let's talk."

The two men avoided the few soldiers guarding the city walls, and the prefect whispered, "You are from the Wang Tingsi. Do you have any strong connections in Kyoto?"

Lu Xunhuan asked, "What's wrong?"

The prefect sighed and said, "That old man in prison. You once asked me about him. He died. I sent someone to take him to Kyoto City, but he was robbed in Huilong Town."

Lu Xun Huan touched his chin and said, "Why would you want to rob a corpse? That's really weird."

The prefect said, "Yes, there's nothing to be snatched away from the corpse. However, the incident has already happened. If the capital blames us, everyone in Zhongzhou will be in trouble. Do you have any connections? Can you help us think of a solution?"

Lu Xun Huan pondered for a moment and said, "There's no rush for this. Let's wait and see who Kyoto City will send, and then we'll act accordingly."

The prefect sighed again and asked, "Are you sure?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Let's wait until the people from Kyoto arrive."

The prefect was silent for a while, feeling quite helpless: "Okay, let's wait until the people come."

After a day of training, it was night again.

Lu Xunhuan returned to the courtyard in the south of the city and went to the storage room to take a look. Seeing that everything was tidied up quite properly, he nodded with satisfaction.

While eating, he instructed Qingdai, "This matter is of great importance. You and I know it, and you must not reveal a single word to anyone."

Qing Dai said, "The Immortal Friends Association has learned of the relevant news. President Qiao has issued a task, asking everyone to pay attention to investigate this matter."

Lu Xun Huan took a pot of fine wine and poured two cups: "You've worked hard, I'll drink a few cups with you, but other than that, you are not allowed to drink at any time."

Qingdai picked up the wine glass and said, "It's not hard. It's what I should do. But there are corpses buried in this yard. It really makes me feel a little creepy. When I sleep at night, I always feel like there's someone outside the door."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, come, drink."

After a few drinks, Qingdai's face turned red again.

She asked drunkenly, "President Qiao asked me to investigate your background, mainly to investigate how you quickly improved your strength. I've followed you for so long, can you tell me?"

Lu Xunhuan smiled slightly and poured two more glasses of wine: "What are your guesses?"

Qing Dai picked up the wine glass and said, "We suspect that there must be a master behind you who taught you the advanced cultivation method."

Lu Xunhuan put his finger to his mouth: "Shh..."

He said, "Just keep it to yourself and don't tell anyone."

Qing Dai smiled. "But President Qiao sent me to lurk around you for so long, and I haven't gained anything. I have no way to explain it. Maybe he'll lose his patience and transfer me away. Should I leave or not?"

Lu Xun Huan pondered and said, "Then tell him that I might be a secret member of the Shenlong Pavilion."

Qing Dai opened her mouth in slight surprise: "You're not serious, are you?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Silly boy, of course not. Let them misunderstand. Let the Immortal Friends Association misunderstand that I'm from the Shenlong Pavilion, and let the Shenlong Pavilion misunderstand that I'm from the Immortal Friends Association."

Qingdai raised her head and drank more wine: "But I am a member of the Immortal Friends Association after all. I always hide things from the president..."

Lu Xunhuan stood up: "You are drunk, let me help you to rest."

He walked over to Qingdai and pulled her up.

As soon as she stood up, she staggered into his arms.

Seeing the situation, Lu Xun Huan simply hugged her and said, "You can't even walk anymore, I'll carry you."

Qingdai blushed, closed her eyes, and did not answer.

After a while, Lu Xunhuan carried Qingdai into the room, groped his way to the bed in the dark, and was about to put her down.

But Qingdai held him tightly in her hand, unwilling to let go.

His arms felt sore and he lost his support...

……

It was getting late and the dew was heavy. Lu Xunhuan put on a nightgown and quietly left the courtyard in the south of the city. He dodged his way through the streets and alleys until he finally crossed the city wall and flew out of the city.

In a valley fifty miles west of Zhongzhou City, there is a small village with dozens of families living there. A small stream meanders from the north of the village, and this place is called Beixi Village.

Ever since the old man told Lu Xunhuan about Beixi Village, Lu Xunhuan had investigated and found out that the ancestor of the old man's family came from Beixi Village.

So the ancestral tomb of the old man’s family is located in Beixi Village.

It was just because the royal family was strictly checking the dragon bones at that time, so the old man's family naturally did not dare to open the ancestral tomb.

So they could only hide the dragon bones first and wait for an opportunity to put them in the ancestral tomb later.

But unfortunately, the old man was young and frivolous, and spoke carelessly after drinking, which brought great disaster to the family.

Now, the old man has passed away, and only Lu Xunhuan knows the secret under the bridge and under the water.

The night gradually deepens.

Lu Xunhuan had been hiding under the stone bridge outside Beixi Village and had been waiting for an hour.

When the last light in Beixi Village went out, he quietly emerged from the bushes by the bridge and went into the water.

In the darkness, he sank down along the bridge pier, feeling his way down.

After about three meters, he reached the bottom.

He drew out the first-level immortal sword, channeled his power into it, and lit it up.

The magic sword emitted a bright blue light at the bottom of the water. The water was very clear, allowing him to easily see within a few feet of the bottom.

He observed the bridge pier for a while and found a movable stone.

So he grabbed the stone and pulled it out.

After the stone was pulled out, a square cave was revealed.

He reached inside and felt a small square box.

He took out the small box and looked at it in the light of the magic sword.

It turned out to be a sealed crystal box, and inside the box, there was a small piece of red bones.

Could this be the dragon bone?

Why do dragon bones fall from the sky?

He didn't believe the saying that burying dragon bones in the ancestral tomb would make one king, but he was full of doubts and curiosity about where the dragon bones came from and what they were used for.

After he saw it clearly, he withdrew his immortal power and the immortal sword lost its light.

Then he surfaced, stepped over the weeds by the water, and disappeared into the darkness.

Before dawn, he quietly returned to the courtyard in the south of the city.

He tiptoed back to his room, lit the lamp and studied the crystal box.

There is sealing wax on the edge of the crystal box.

He drew out the magic sword again, scraped off the wax seal, and opened the lid of the crystal box.

Then, he took the red bone that was only a finger long in his hand.

After looking for a moment, he cut his finger and let the blood drip into the red bone.

He didn't know how to use this piece of dragon bone, nor did he know what its function was. He was just trying it out.

But after the dragon bone absorbed his blood, it trembled and flew up.

The next moment, it crashed into his body with a "whoosh".

Lu Xunhuan was startled. He could clearly feel the intense pain as something penetrated his skin and entered his body.

He quickly took off his clothes to see if there was a hole in his body.

But when he took off his clothes, where were the wounds on his skin?

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly felt sleepy. He didn't even have the ability to resist, so he fell down and fell asleep.

And inside his body, that small piece of dragon bone was disintegrating in blood, turning into strands and merging into his bone marrow.

In his dantian, the golden elixir began to rotate automatically, absorbing the power released by the dragon bone tiles.

And after he fell to the ground, the door opened.

Qingdai rushed in, picked him up, and called him softly: "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Lu Xunhuan told her not to follow, and she really didn't follow.

But after Lu Xunhuan came back and turned on the lights in the room, she just woke up, so he came quietly.

She saw with her own eyes through the crack in the door how the dragon bone crashed into Lu Xunhuan's body.

In the eyes of people in this world, a man with dragon bones in his body is destined to be a dragon among men and extraordinary, even if he may not be able to conquer the world in the future.

After asking a few questions, she picked up Lu Xunhuan, put him on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.

Then, she turned off the lights and guarded him silently.

She became more and more convinced that her choice was right, and that this must be a man who could create miracles.
