nAfter he killed the two of them, Lu Xuan scaled the walls and left the bungalow. Everything was handled in absolute silence, and he had avoided all of the cameras. No one would ever know who was the one who did the deed.

nAs for the rage for the Luos, whatever fury they felt after the news broke was none of Lu Xuan’s business. Moreover, the revenge he would be exacting on the Luos had only just begun. Killing Luo Kun was simply him collecting a wee bit of interest.

nAnother wordless night passed, and no one knew that Lu Xuan had left the manor and returned. The next morning, a cheery Ling Huang came knocking on Lu Xuan’s door.

n“Mr. Lu! I received a call from the CEO of that conglomerate, saying that he would be withdrawing from the project bid. He has pulled out of the competition!”

nLing Huang was all smiles when he broke the news.

n“You received word that soon?” Lu Xuan was a little surprised.

n“That’s right. They should have gotten the news and feared that I would do unto them the same thing we did here!”

nNonetheless, Ling Huang still looked a tad indignant.

nThe truth was that he had gotten ready a one billion bounty for the heads of prominent members of that conglomerate. Since they had torn apart all facades of cordiality and used unfair means, he had no qualms about returning the favor.

nOne billion was enough to drive countless assassins insane. When that time came, Ling Huang would make them shed blood like water.

nAs an army veteran, he had always refused to use unfair means, not because he couldn’t, but because he was unwilling.

n“Are you going to let them off just like that. President Ling?” Lu Xuan stretched as he asked teasingly.

n“Of course not. Not only do they have to pull out of the project, but they must also pay me a compensation of ten billion!” Ling Huang snapped, “I didn’t want to let them off that easily either. However, they have massive assets and waves of clans people, whereas there are only three in my family. I cannot afford to lose any one of them!”

nLu Xuan immediately understood why Ling Huang ultimately decided not to pursue the matter. That Japanese conglomerate had stood for over a century, and their foundation was immense. If they had gone all out and placed a bounty on each other’s heads, they could kiss goodbye to all future businesses and stay home all day.

nIt would be more dangerous if they stayed home all the time.

nThey would become middle-aged, balding otakus, downing coca-cola all day long.

nTherefore, no matter how angry he was, there was no choice but to let go of that matter. But of course, when given a chance, they would not let go of each other’s throats if they crossed paths in the future.

n“However, to avoid anything from taking a turn for the worse, we would like to invite you to stay for a while longer to keep watch, Mr. Lu. It will deter any ideas of them turning back and attack us again!” Ling Huang said. After the battle, he finally understood the saying, “pugilists flaunt the law with martial arts.”

nIn the past, he had never thought highly of those so-called warriors. No matter how much a master they were in martial arts, they would falter in front of a knife. So what if the martial arts that they were practicing was impressive? One could easily beat a martial artist to death with rods and sticks.

nA single gunshot was enough to take them down!

nEven a Baodan Grandmaster, who used to exist only in legends, could be shot to death when pushed under a rain of bullets.

nTherefore, he never had any respect for the warriors!

nHowever, after what happened yesterday, where he witnessed Lu Xuan’s almost godly performance, he found out that the world seemed to have turned upside down.

nAlso, he had heard of the news that the entire world seemed to be in the process of some form of evolution. Powerful beings like these did not mark the end; instead, their numbers would only increase as time passed.

nIt made him realize that maybe the world was about to change drastically!

n“No problem!”

nLu Xuan accepted Ling Huang’s request.

nEveryone let out a collective sigh of relief after Ling Huang made peace with that Japanese conglomerate. While these few days had been short, everything that happened kept the Lings in a state of anxiety.

nIt was in such an environment that a month quickly passed.

nWithin that month, Lu Xuan personally held the fort in the Ling Manor to prevent any assassins from Hellfire from returning. They had not seen any killers from Hellfire after that day, though. It was as if the other party had accepted the loss.

nAnd so, Lu Xuan made use of this rare opportunity to fortify his cultivation as a level six martial arts legend.

nHe took some time to consume the remainder of the 300-year-old King of Ginseng. Gradually, he managed to turn it into his cultivation.

nAfter all, while Spirit Qi has slowly begun to awaken, they were but small trickles when compared to the abundance of spiritual energy in Huaxia, the future sacred ground of cultivation. Lower level cultivators might benefit from this and attain significant breakthroughs, but for a martial arts legend like Lu Xuan, it was still far from enough.

nHe must wait for the next wave of spiritual revival. To him, that would be an environment more conducive to his cultivation.

nTherefore, all of the treasured herbs he could get at this stage were of utmost importance.

nWithin a short month, building upon the foundation he already had, he actually managed to double his cultivation.

nSuch advancement speed was unheard of!

nIt revealed the prowess of the Taixu Origin Power in all its glory, and one could only marvel at just how powerful it was. At the same level, the Taixu Origin Power was simply far too powerful.

nApart from guarding and cultivating in the Ling Manor, Lu Xuan also took the chance to treat Ling Yu of his heart disease completely.

nAs Lu Xuan conducted more and more treatment sessions, Ling Yu’s heart disease began to improve as well. He soon became visibly healthier as time went by.

nThis day, before Lu Xuan was about to leave, he treated Ling Yu for the very last time.

nIn Ling Yu’s room, the father and daughter duo—Ling Huang and Ling Fei—was still very agitated, no matter how many times they saw the procedure.

nAfter Lu Xuan completed the final treatment session, several doctors in white robes immediately rushed up. They quickly hooked Ling Yu up to all sorts of medical equipment and gave him a thorough check.

nThey were experts in cardiology from the Lings’ private hospital. Due to Ling Yu’s disease, the Ling Group Hospital was also nationally renowned for its cardiology department. Many cardiology experts worked for the Ling Group Hospital.

nSoon, the results were out. The doctors couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise at the findings.

n“Oh heavens, this is unbelievable!”

n“Is this the true prowess of traditional Chinese medicine?”

n“He was able to heal a heart with congenital heart disease fully. Such news will shake the entire nation!”

nThe doctors were all amazed. Very quickly, Ling Huang and Ling Fei were informed of the final results. Not only was Ling Yu’s heart relieved of the burden of congenital heart disease, but his heart was also much healthier and robust than most people’s hearts.

nIt was, therefore, no wonder that those experts in cardiology were agitated beyond words. Right now, the world was still quite powerless when confronted with heart diseases. Of those, congenital heart defects were one of their biggest challenges.

nIf they could publish the results of the treatment, it would shock the world. After all, the number of people with heart disease was countless.

nHowever, they have signed an agreement of confidentiality with the Lings. They were prohibited from announcing the results to the public.

nBesides, how should they explain their findings if they tried to publish it? Were they going to tell the public that someone had treated Ling Yu’s heart disease by materializing needles from spiritual Qi? That he was healed through acupuncture?

nEven if they had told the truth, it would have brushed off as superstition and irrationality.

nLu Xuan, who was sitting on the sofa, was the only one who expected that outcome.

nHis healing methods were something beyond the boundaries of both Chinese and western medicine. In essence, it wasn’t a treatment per se, but rather, a bolster of Ling Yu’s very own life force.

nWhen one’s life force increased, they would naturally be relieved of the sicknesses plaguing their bodies.
