Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

The next day, when Lu Xunhuan woke up, it was already dawn.

He climbed out of bed and suddenly found that his strength seemed to have increased.

He quickly sat down cross-legged, circulating his spiritual energy through the meridians.

After one cycle, he discovered that he had broken through to the ninth level of the Tengyun Realm overnight.

In other words, he has cultivated to the highest level of Tengyun Realm, and going further up means breaking through to Huiyang Realm.

Huiyang Realm, also known as Yuanying.

When you reach this level, you can be called a master in the world of immortal cultivation.

After feeling it for a while, he withdrew his strength and opened his eyes.

An extra memory appeared in his mind.

A huge dragon, with a crown on its head, its whole body glowing, its dragon energy rising into the sky, and it roared to the sky.

Suddenly a stick flew out from the clouds and hit the dragon's head hard.

Blood splattered, the dragon head shattered, and the dragon bones scattered, pouring into the sky of the universe like a meteor shower.

A memory, that's all, nothing more.

After Lu Xunhuan opened his eyes, he sat there in a daze.

After a while, his dantian trembled slightly, and a stream of air came out, enveloping his whole body.

And that energy cannot be seen or touched.

Another memory appeared in Lu Xunhuan's mind.

He was protected by dragon energy.

He subconsciously looked at his body. Was he protected by dragon energy?

However, he only knew that he was protected by dragon energy. As for how strong the dragon energy was, to what extent it could protect his body, and how much damage he could withstand, he had no information.

After a while, the door opened and Qingdai came in with breakfast.

She was quite surprised to see him wake up, and quickly put breakfast on the table: "You're awake, how do you feel?"

Lu Xun Huan stood up from the ground and sat at the table: "Top secret, remember."

Qing Dai nodded: "Don't worry, even if I die, I will never reveal a single word."

The two were having breakfast when Ye Feihong unexpectedly came back in a hurry.

She sat down at the table, picked up a piece of dessert, and said, "The captain ordered me early this morning to investigate a missing body. Have you two received any relevant information? What's so strange about a body?"

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Did your captain demand that we find out?"

Ye Feihong nodded: "Yes, but the store is busy with business, so I don't have time to check."

Lu Xunhuan said, "The Immortal Friends Association has also given Qingdai an order to investigate. When she finds any clues, she will share them with you."

Ye Feihong looked at Qingdai, as if she had discovered something: "Didn't we always eat in the living room in the past? Why are we in the young master's room today?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Isn't it different everywhere? How is business these days?"

Ye Feihong took a bite of the dessert and said, "Business is pretty good. A jeweler from Kyoto City contacted us and asked us to sell their jewelry on their behalf."

Lu Xun Huan stood up and said, "Okay, hold the goods first and settle the bill after they're sold."

He went to get his official uniform: "I'm going to training."

Ye Feihong ate the snack in two bites: "I've eaten over there, and I'm leaving too."

After Lu Xunhuan changed into the captain's uniform, the two went out together.

Ye Feihong whispered to Lu Xunhuan, "You and Qingdai...are not clear about it anymore, right?"

Lu Xun Huan turned his head and glanced at her: "What are you unclear about, girl?"

Ye Feihong pouted: "Humph, women's intuition is very sharp. I'm telling you, I've been wronged, you can do whatever you want."

Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "What do you want me to do?"

Ye Feihong whispered, "How many times have you been to the jewelry store since it opened? It's your store, Boss. After training today, come to the store and have dinner with me."

Lu Xunhuan shrugged: "Okay, prepare the food and wine."

Ye Feihong became delighted and immediately smiled: "Keep your word, you must come."

Lu Xunhuan stepped forward: "Let's go back to the store."

At the foot of the hillside east of the city, a row of towering catapults stood, and next to each catapult were a thousand stones.

Lu Xunhuan rode his horse and looked at the hillside ahead.

On the hillside, weeds and shrubs were removed, and three rows of circles with a diameter of ten feet were painted from bottom to top with white paint.

A soldier came running over: "Report, everything is ready."

Lu Xun Huan nodded and said, "Pass the order, aim at the bottom row of circles and throw stones."

On the wooden platform, the command flag was waving.

A moment later, pieces of rocks weighing dozens of pounds whizzed through the air, drew a long parabola, and smashed into the hillside.

With a loud bang, the stone fell to the ground.

On the hillside, soldiers in yellow clothes rushed out, reached the first circle, waved flags and conveyed flag signals.

Beside Lu Xunhuan, a captain reported, "Missed."

Then, the one in yellow ran to the second circle, waving the flag.

After a report, it was found that only one stone hit the ten circles in the row at the bottom of the hillside.

Lu Xunhuan asked the messenger to wave the flag and let the soldiers on the hillside evacuate. Then, he asked everyone to adjust the shooting angle and carried out a second round of projection.

Catapult after catapult was thrown, and it was not until noon that all the catapults were able to hit the circle accurately.

Lu Xun Huan ordered: "Rest, have lunch, and switch to sandbag shooting in the afternoon."

He wanted these soldiers to repeatedly train with projectiles of different weights and at different projection distances to accumulate rich experience. Later, when they arrived on the battlefield, they could use any material available and project accurately.

After dinner, Lu Xunhuan sat in the tent and said to a group of captains, "Only by training continuously day after day can you win a decisive battle on the battlefield. You are all captains, so you should train even better than the soldiers."

Everyone saluted: "Yes."

Just then, the sound of horse hooves rang out.

Everyone turned around and saw a fast horse coming towards the tent.

However, soldiers immediately stepped forward and stopped them, both men and horses.

A soldier shouted, "This is a strategically important area, no one is allowed to trespass."

A yamen runner jumped down from his horse and said, "The prefect wants to see Captain Lu."

Lu Xunhuan walked out of the tent and shouted, "Let him come over."

The yamen runner received permission and hurried over, bowing and saying, "Sir Lu, someone has arrived from Kyoto. The state government office is full of people kneeling on the ground. You should go and take a look."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Who would send you here if you were kneeling on the ground?"

The yamen runner replied, "The prefect instructed me in advance that if anyone came to Kyoto and if everyone was unable to leave, I should come and look for you immediately."

Lu Xunhuan looked towards the city wall and said, "They're coming so fast."

The yamen runner reported, "Your Excellency, they say he came here in haste, riding a fast horse for eight hundred miles."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Do you know who is coming?"

The bailiff shook his head and said, "I don't know them. There were three of them: an old man and two young men."

Lu Xun Huan said to the captains, "You guys lead the troops and continue training. I'll go back to the city to take a look."

In the Zhongzhou City government office, on the high hall, sat an old man with white hair and beard, about sixty years old.

The old man had a cold face and looked intimidating.

On the left and right stood two young people, a man and a woman.

Below, dozens of officials from Zhongzhou Prefecture knelt.

The prefect trembled and said, "Your Highness, after the old man died, I immediately sent people to escort him to Kyoto City without any delay. I don't know who was so bored as to even steal the corpse."

The old man said gloomily, "You are acting on your own initiative. Couldn't you have immediately sent a fast horse to report to Kyoto City? Who told you to do that?"

The prefect lowered his head and dared not say a word.

The old man continued, "If we can find the body, everything will be fine. If we can't find the body, we will all be dismissed and investigated."

Below, there was complete silence, and no one dared to respond.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came.

The old man and the two young men all looked towards the door.

A young captain dismounted and walked towards the yamen.

However, he seemed confused by the scene before him. He walked to the door, not knowing whether to go in or leave.

This young captain was Lu Xunhuan, and he was just pretending to be in a dilemma.

He needed someone to talk to, to give him a reason to stay here.

Sure enough, the prefect, who had been tested in the officialdom for a long time, turned around and said, "Captain Lu, how are your investigations going?"

Lu Xun Huan bowed to his elders and said, "I've found some clues, but I don't know if they're useful. My Lords, it seems I've come at the wrong time. How about I come back later?"

The old man said, "Come in, tell me what you have learned that is useful."
