The strands of Shangguan Yunlan's azure hair gently brushed against Lu Xuan's face, accompanied by a faint, refreshing fragrance that enveloped him.
Lu Xuan remained composed, stating impassively, "Lady Yunlan, although this Sima(司主: Director) was born into a family of physicians, I am wholeheartedly devoted to pursuing the arduous path of martial arts."
"Therefore, I have not learned any medical skills from my father."
"I am truly sorry to have disappointed you, Lady Yunlan."
Lu Xuan was only slightly surprised that Shangguan Yunlan accurately stated his background.
But after thinking for a moment, Lu Xuan felt it was quite normal.
After all, that Empress, despite being tens of thousands of miles away in Tiandu(天都: The capital city), still valued him so highly.
She not only broke precedent by promoting him to the fourth Deputy Sima(司主: Director) of the Xuan Bird Guard, but also personally bestowed upon him a supreme-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object.
This was enough to prove that the Empress had probably investigated all of his background thoroughly.
However, upon hearing Lu Xuan's refusal, a trace of astonishment appeared on Shangguan Yunlan's beautiful face, and her delicate body froze in place.
What!
The only time she used her beauty to seduce this Lu Xuan, she was actually ignored.
Lu Xuan's words made Shangguan Yunlan begin to doubt her own appearance.
Although her methods of seducing men were far inferior to those of the Plum Blossom Guard's women, her appearance was still far superior to that of ordinary women.
Seeing Lu Xuan's unchanging expression, Shangguan Yunlan suddenly felt provoked.
This Lu Xuan was truly unmoved by her beauty.
A glint of unwillingness flashed in Shangguan Yunlan's beautiful eyes.
Alright, I'll go all out this time, I don't believe you can hold out forever.
"Is that so?"
"Sima(司主: Director) Lu, you are too modest."
"If Sima(司主: Director) Lu, a martial artist of the Outer Core Grandmaster realm, could use your Gang Yuan(罡元: Gang Yuan, a type of internal energy) to examine Yunlan's body, perhaps you could find the cause of Yunlan's discomfort."
After saying that, Shangguan Yunlan raised her gentle and delicate hand and lightly placed it on the back of Lu Xuan's hand.
Then, regardless of whether Lu Xuan agreed or not, Shangguan Yunlan directly placed Lu Xuan's left hand on that gentle…
Lu Xuan did not stop Shangguan Yunlan's actions, after all, he was a normal man, why would he refuse a benefit that was offered to him.
Moreover, Shangguan Yunlan's reason was too far-fetched.
As a martial artist with complete inner Qi(内气: Internal energy), she was using the reason of physical discomfort with Lu Xuan.
Even if Lu Xuan was a fool, he would know Shangguan Yunlan's true intentions.
She was probably just a woman sent by the Great Xia Empress to test him.
At this moment, Shangguan Yunlan's face suddenly became flustered.
She felt a surge of great force coming from Lu Xuan's left hand.
"You really…"
Shangguan Yunlan thought that Lu Xuan would continue to pretend as if nothing was happening.
Unexpectedly, he really did not hide it at all and directly began to use force.
Shangguan Yunlan's delicate face instantly flushed red, she lightly bit her lip, and her body instinctively retreated backward, away from Lu Xuan.
Then, without saying a word, Shangguan Yunlan took a deep look at Lu Xuan, and her body swayed, turning into a blur, disappearing in a flash at the door!
Lu Xuan did not say a word, but silently retracted his left hand.
This woman is a bit inexplicable.
I really took action to fulfill your request, but you are not happy!
Forget it!
Lu Xuan shook off those strange thoughts and turned to take out the Xuan black brocade box on his body.
Supreme-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object!
I wonder how many system points this legendary Heaven and Earth spiritual object can bring me.
And those Heaven and Earth spiritual objects brought by Li Chengxing should be enough for Lu Xuan to break through to the Divine Mansion realm.
A total of three high-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual objects, twenty medium-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual objects, and one hundred low-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual objects.
Lu Xuan planned to take out three high-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual objects, fifteen medium-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual objects, and seventy low-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual objects from the batch of Heaven and Earth spiritual objects brought by Li Chengxing.
Seclusion!
This time, Lu Xuan had already told He Yan in advance that he was going to enter a death seclusion.
No one was allowed to come in and disturb Lu Xuan, or they would die!
Divine Mansion realm!
Brilliant purple light flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes, and then, his body turned into starlight, disappearing in the room.
Of course, there was also an item that Lu Xuan specially left on the table.
On the table, a token reflecting a shimmering red light was placed there.
This Xuan Bird Guard Deputy Sima(司主: Director)'s token contained hidden mysteries, and Lu Xuan had a trick up his sleeve.
Who knew if the Great Xia Empress had tampered with this token in some way.
Facing this Empress standing at the highest point of the Divine Mansion realm, Lu Xuan was still more cautious and did not dare to carry this magical token.
No one understood the power of the Divine Sense(神念: Divine Sense, a powerful mental ability) of a Divine Mansion Realm expert better than Lu Xuan.
The next moment, when Lu Xuan reappeared, he had already arrived in a secret courtyard.
This courtyard was a secret room temporarily prepared by Lu Xuan, a place that only He Yan knew about.
Inside the main room, a large number of exquisite small wooden boxes were placed on the ground.
Each small wooden box contained Heaven and Earth spiritual objects that would drive the world's martial artists crazy.
Especially the four small wooden boxes placed on the table, which contained a supreme-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object and three high-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual objects.
Lu Xuan no longer hesitated and casually opened the three small wooden boxes in front of him.
Then, with extreme speed, he stretched out his hands and grabbed them, swallowing all three high-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual objects.
Low-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual objects can provide 80 system points, and medium-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual objects can provide 300 system points.
Then let Lu Xuan see how many system points this rare treasure, high-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object, can bring him.
Three high-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual objects were swallowed by Lu Xuan at the same time.
If this crazy act was seen by others, they would definitely curse Lu Xuan as a complete madman.
The Heaven and Earth spiritual energy contained in a high-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object is ten times higher than the spiritual energy in a medium-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object.
Ordinary Outer Core Grandmasters only take it little by little.
They are afraid that the huge Heaven and Earth spiritual energy in the high-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object will burst their bodies.
After all, no one wants to be the first martial artist in history to be burst to death by a Heaven and Earth spiritual object.
If that was the result, they would not rest in peace even in death!
However, with Lu Xuan's terrifying physique, let alone three high-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual objects.
Even if there were ten times more, Lu Xuan would still not feel any pressure.
Lu Xuan's physique, under the blessing of the Undying and Unextinguished Martial Arts Horizontal Training Technique
As long as Lu Xuan's head was not blown into powder, he could quickly heal his wounds.
In short, as long as he did not encounter the existence of the Divine Mansion realm, with his strength as a complete Outer Core Grandmaster, he could not die even if he wanted to.
At the moment when the three Heaven and Earth spiritual objects were swallowed by Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan's whole body radiated a strong golden light, as sacred and majestic as the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
The large amount of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy contained in the three Heaven and Earth spiritual objects was frantically refined by Lu Xuan.
Even with Lu Xuan's terrifying refining power, it took a full two hours to refine it.
"Is this the high-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object?"
"The Heaven and Earth spiritual energy in it is indeed far superior to that of the medium-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object."
After Lu Xuan refined the three Heaven and Earth spiritual objects, the golden light all over his body became even more dazzling.
The dazzling golden light had illuminated the entire room, making it seem like he was in a sacred and solemn Buddha palace.

Lu Xuan glanced at the points on the system panel, which had increased by 9000 points.
It seems that a high-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object can provide 3000 system points.
Terrifying!
This high-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object is indeed a rare treasure.
Not only does it provide ten times more system points than the medium-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object, but Lu Xuan can also feel that this high-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object seems to have a strange power.
After Lu Xuan refined the high-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object, his facial features seemed to have been nourished by some mysterious power.
What shocked Lu Xuan even more was that his perception seemed to have begun to increase, and he could vaguely perceive the scene outside the room.
Lu Xuan could present everything outside, through the door and walls, in his mind.
Although these scenes looked very blurry, at least he could vaguely see them.
What is the difference between this power and the legendary immortal methods?
Could it be that this is the Divine Sense(神念: Divine Sense, a powerful mental ability) that only Divine Mansion realm martial artists have?
In addition to containing terrifying Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, the high-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object actually has a mysterious power that acts on the ethereal soul.
Lu Xuan's eyes revealed a fiery gaze, the effect of the high-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object was simply too suitable for him.
He just didn't know how many high-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual objects there were in the Tiandu(天都: The capital city) Xuan Bird Guard headquarters.
If there were a lot of them, Lu Xuan wouldn't mind borrowing them for a while.
At this time, Lu Xuan's heart began to think about the warehouse of the Tiandu(天都: The capital city) Xuan Bird Guard headquarters.
Immediately, Lu Xuan stopped thinking about it and moved his gaze away from the system panel.
On the table, there was still a small wooden box quietly placed there.
Inside was the supreme-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object, which was even more precious than the high-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object.
When he opened the small wooden box containing the supreme-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object in the hall before, it had already caused a violent fluctuation of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy.
Lu Xuan could imagine that the effect of this supreme-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual energy was definitely priceless, a heaven-defying object!
This time, Lu Xuan gently opened the box containing the supreme-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object.
The moment the box was opened, that terrifying Heaven and Earth spiritual energy rushed towards him again.
He saw something like a cyan lotus flower, only half the size of a palm.
On the cyan lotus petals, there were strands of mysterious cyan airflow, constantly circling back and forth.
Each strand of cyan airflow bloomed with a mysterious and unpredictable cyan brilliance.
This familiar power, a look of shock flashed in the depths of Lu Xuan's eyes.
Isn't this power that Lu Xuan felt very familiar with the power of the origin of heaven and earth in the sacrificial vessel?
Lu Xuan carefully stretched out his hand and carefully checked the cyan lotus flower.
When he found that this supreme-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object was intact, Lu Xuan was relieved.
Then, Lu Xuan swallowed the entire cyan lotus flower in one gulp, just like he treated the high-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object before.
The moment the cyan lotus flower was swallowed, a huge wave was suddenly set off in Lu Xuan's body.
The terrifying Heaven and Earth spiritual energy kept surging in Lu Xuan's body.
Even the pure golden light of the Undying and Unextinguished Horizontal Training Technique suddenly mixed with a mysterious cyan brilliance at this moment.
Lu Xuan's face was solemn and calm, and around his strong body, cyan and golden dazzling light intertwined together.
This cyan and golden mysterious light kept circling around Lu Xuan's body, flowing endlessly, like countless swimming dragons, soaring and flying.
As time passed, the cyan-golden light that wrapped around Lu Xuan became more and more intense, and Lu Xuan's expression became more and more calm.
"It's done!"
As soon as Lu Xuan finished speaking, he slowly opened his eyes.
In an instant, in the depths of Lu Xuan's pupils, two sharp purple rays shot out, piercing through the void, as if they could see through the essence of everything in the world.
As for the time it took to refine this supreme-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object, even Lu Xuan couldn't remember it.
However, this supreme-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object, the cyan lotus flower, brought Lu Xuan an unexpected surprise.
"This power?"
Lu Xuan stretched out his right hand, and a ray of purple light instantly appeared in his palm, and this pure light that was about to solidify emitted a power that made Lu Xuan's hair stand on end.
"The Power of Heaven and Earth?"
This ray of purple power was completely different from the Gang Yuan(罡元: Gang Yuan, a type of internal energy) of the Outer Core Grandmaster before.
Containing terrible power, Lu Xuan could clearly perceive it.
If it was the previous him, encountering this ray of purple power of heaven and earth, even if he released all of his Gang Yuan(罡元: Gang Yuan, a type of internal energy), it was estimated that he would not be able to resist it.
"No, my realm should be between the Divine Mansion realm and the Outer Core Grandmaster realm!"
"Half-step Divine Mansion?"
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan's eyes flashed with a purple luster, sensing the outside of the house.
The next second, the corners of Lu Xuan's mouth rose slightly, as expected, he was not surprised.
The scene outside the house was no longer as blurry as before, but was very clearly presented in his mind.
It seemed that when he had finished refining the supreme-grade Heaven and Earth spiritual object, he had already obtained power beyond the Outer Core Grandmaster.
Not the Divine Mansion realm, but he had obtained a small part of the power that only Divine Mansion realm martial artists possessed.
The Power of Heaven and Earth!
The Power of Divine Sense(神念: Divine Sense, a powerful mental ability)!
An idea sparked in Lu Xuan's mind, and the system panel immediately appeared before his eyes!
Host: Lu Xuan
Realm: Outer Core Grandmaster (????)

Lu Xuan's eyes turned to the level section of the system panel. When he saw the series of question marks after Outer Core Grandmaster, he could confirm it.
His strength had already surpassed the realm of an Outer Core Grandmaster martial artist and began to break through to the Divine Mansion realm.
