Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

The days passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past few days, Lu Xunhuan has quickly become a hot figure in Zhongzhou City.

In fact, in the hearts of the general public, he is the number one figure in Zhongzhou City.

Whenever he goes out or comes in, he is followed and protected by the Grand Elder of Feixian Sect. How many people in the world have such treatment?

Even the princes of the current dynasty may not all be able to hire top immortal masters as bodyguards.

But Lu Xunhuan was just a small captain of Zhongzhou City, but he did it.

Elder He, one of the eight elders of Feixianmen, is said to be ranked third in strength within Feixianmen and eighth in the entire Empire Masters List last week.

In the hearts of the people, he is like a god, as high as the sky.

But this godlike figure became Lu Xunhuan's bodyguard.

This incident was like a bombshell dropped in Zhongzhou City, exploding layer by layer, causing a sensation and quickly becoming the hottest topic in the entire Zhongzhou City.

If this world had a hot search list, the fact that Elder He from Feixian Sect served as Lu Xunhuan's bodyguard would definitely top the list for many days in a row.

In the past few days, Li Ziyan's first inn in Zhongzhou City, Ru Ting Inn, has opened.

According to Lu Xunhuan's request, Elder He led the disciples of Feixian Sect to book the Ruting Inn.

The restaurant was packed on the first day of opening, and it was unknown how many days this packed schedule would last, which made Li Ziyan extremely happy.

She immediately took action, rented a second shop, and began to renovate the second Ru Ting store.

In a large mansion in Zhongzhou City, Qiao Zheng summoned Qingdai back.

He asked Qing Dai, "Elder He from Feixian Sect brought a large number of disciples to look for Lu Xunhuan, even lowering his status to serve as Lu Xunhuan's bodyguard. What exactly does Feixian Sect want from him?"

Qing Dai replied, "He has mastered the method of breaking through from the Qin Heart Realm to the Tengyun Realm, and it is 100% successful."

Qiao Zheng was astonished and said, "There is actually such a method in the world. Where did he learn it from?"

Qing Dai shook her head and said, "Then I don't know. Even if I ask him, he won't tell me."

Qiao Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "No wonder. Going from the Qin Heart Realm to the Soaring Cloud Realm is the most difficult hurdle in the cultivation of immortals. Eighty to ninety percent of the world's immortal cultivators are blocked here and can no longer make progress. He has mastered this method, so naturally, even the major sects will take notice of him."

He turned to look at Qiao Yunzhi: "Yunzhi, how long will it take for you to reach the ninth level of the Qin Heart Realm?"

Qiao Yunzhi replied, "I used to think I was quite strong, but now it seems I'm just a frog in a well. A large number of Feixianmen disciples have received help and made breakthroughs. My strength is simply not worth mentioning."

Qiao Zheng thought she was being long-winded: "I asked you how long it would take to reach the ninth level of the Qin Heart Realm. Why are you talking so much?"

Qiao Yunzhi replied, "I'm only at the seventh level of Qin's state of mind."

Qiao Zheng stroked his beard and said, "Dad has to find a way to get you to the ninth level of the Qin Heart Realm as soon as possible, and then you go to him for help."

After speaking to Qiao Yunzhi, he turned to Qingdai, "When you broke through to the Soaring Cloud Realm before, I didn't pay much attention to it. I was negligent. Don't forget that you are a member of the Immortal Friends Association. From now on, you must report his every move in a timely manner."

Qingdai nodded: "Yes."

Qiao Zheng gestured: "Go back."

After Qingdai left, Qiao Yunzhi said, "Dad, don't expect Qingdai to wholeheartedly help the Immortal Friends Association. From what I've observed, she's already Lu Xunhuan's person."

Qiao Zheng stood up and walked back and forth a few steps: "Will this person become a serious threat to our Immortal Friends Association in the future?"

Qiao Yunzhi shook her head: "No, absolutely not."

Qiao Zheng asked, "Are you so sure, Yunzhi? What are you hiding from Dad?"

Qiao Yunzhi hesitated for a moment and said, "There's something very important that he told me to keep secret. I dare not tell anyone, for fear of bringing disaster upon myself. But Dad, you don't know the truth, and I'm afraid you'll go astray and go against him, which would bring disaster upon me."

Qiao Zheng was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Qiao Yunzhi hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad, I can only tell you that he was originally a member of my Immortal Friends Association, a senior member. I can't say anything else."

Qiao Zheng was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

After a long while, he muttered to himself: "I am a senior member of the Immortal Friends Association. How senior is he? He can't be the president."

Qiao Yunzhi rolled her eyes at him and said, "I've made it so clear, why don't you understand? Dad, you're so stupid. I won't talk to you anymore."

She turned around and said, "Don't reveal a single word of what my daughter said to you today."

After she left, Qiao Zheng stayed alone in the room, thinking for a long time.

At this time, in another large mansion in Zhongzhou City, the mysterious helmsman had Ye Feihong summoned back.

Across the screen, she asked, "Feihong, you've been following Lu Xunhuan for many days. Tell me the truth, do you know his true identity?"

Ye Feihong said, "Hasn't his true identity been told to the Captain long ago?"

Behind the screen, the captain said, "He did hint that he was a high-ranking member of our Shenlong Pavilion, but these days, I've calmed down and thought about it, and I find it ridiculous. How could it be possible?"

Ye Feihong asked, "How did he hint to the helmsman at that time?"

The captain pondered for a moment before continuing, "My Shenlong Pavilion has a secret mission that no one outside of it could possibly know about. Among the members, only the captains from various regions knew about that mission. However, he told me about it, so I believed him at the time, thinking he was a high-ranking member of my Shenlong Pavilion."

Ye Feihong asked again: "Then, Captain, after you calmed down these days, how did you come to believe that he was not a high-ranking member of our Shenlong Pavilion?"

The helmsman said, "This is ridiculous, isn't it? The Pavilion Master arranged for me to come to Zhongzhou to secretly establish a branch and recruit members. If there are other members in Zhongzhou, why didn't the Pavilion Master tell me?"

"Besides, I later researched his life experience in detail. He joined the Dengtian Sect at the age of ten and has been there ever since. He's a mediocre disciple. How could he possibly become a high-ranking member of our Shenlong Pavilion?"

Ye Feihong said, "The Captain once arranged for his subordinates to investigate why his strength suddenly increased overnight. Now, Captain, do you have an answer?"

The helmsman seemed to suddenly understand: "Could the master who is guiding him from behind be the Pavilion Master?"

Ye Feihong said, "I don't know because he never told me, but his strength has skyrocketed, and he knows the core secrets of our Shenlong Pavilion. I think the master who is guiding him behind the scenes is most likely the Pavilion Master."

The captain pondered for a moment, still very puzzled: "If it really is the Pavilion Master, what on earth does the Pavilion Master like about him?"

Ye Feihong asked, "Does the Captain think he has no future and is not worthy of the Pavilion Master's cultivation?"

The captain pondered for a moment. "Perhaps the Pavilion Master is indeed more intelligent than the rest of us, and can discern talent with discerning eyes. So, should I trust him unconditionally?"

Ye Feihong said, "If the Captain still has doubts, please observe further. If I get any new information, I will report it to you in a timely manner."

The captain sighed and said, "I really hope the Pavilion Master will come to Zhongzhou so I can ask him in person."

She said, "In this world, truth and falsehood are hard to distinguish. Without the Pavilion Master's personal confirmation, nothing can be confirmed. What if he is from the Immortal Friends Association? If I trust him rashly, the consequences will be disastrous."

Ye Feihong responded, "The captain is right. We should be cautious."

The helmsman said, "Go ahead. Let me think about it."

At night, in Lu Xunhuan's room in the small courtyard in the south of the city.

The three of them whispered.

After listening to their reports, Lu Xun Huan pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, let them continue to harbor doubts. I came to Zhongzhou City originally hoping to obtain more resources for cultivating immortality, but this place is too barren and the lack of resources for cultivating immortality is disappointing."

Qing Dai asked, "Sir, wasn't your last harvest a huge one?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Yes, but apart from that thing, I haven't obtained any other resources. I'm only halfway to a breakthrough now. It's really a bit anxious."

Qing Dai then asked, "Fei Hong and I have nothing to do now. How about we help the young master with the secret investigation of that resource starting tomorrow?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "There can't be too many of those things. If we can find one in Zhongzhou, it would be a great honor for our ancestors."

Ye Feihong interrupted and asked, "What exactly are you two talking about?"

Lu Xunhuan did not answer her because his thoughts were elsewhere.

In his mind, the scene that suddenly embedded itself in his memory emerged again.

A divine dragon roared towards the sky.

A stick suddenly appeared from the clouds and hit the dragon's head hard.

The dragon was shattered, and its body turned into fragments, scattered everywhere like a meteor shower.

If the scene in this memory was real, then when the dragon was shattered, the dragon bones should have been scattered all over the world. Why is there only one piece in Zhongzhou?

Ye Feihong waved her jade hand in front of his eyes: "Sir?"

Lu Xun Huan came back to his senses and said to her, "Please make an appointment with the captain for me. I want to have a private talk with her."

Ye Feihong nodded: "Okay."
