BXBX NOVEL Chapter 70 - Liu Yijian
Chapter 70: Liu Yijian
The Jasper Grass grew on a rocky mountain wall, so the terrain was quite steep.
But for Xu Ning, this was not a big deal.
Xu Ning walked in front of the Jasper Grass.

Discovered energy: 6 units
Absorb?
Yes/No

When Xu Ning picked the Jasper Grass, the Martial Arts Panel appeared in front of him.
Xu Ning chose “No”.
If he absorbed the Jasper Grass in front of them, he would expose the secret of his Martial Arts Panel.
Just when Xu Ning was about to put the Jasper Grass into his bag, he suddenly heard a squeaky noise. It seemed that something was moving in the grass.
Xu Ning instantly leaped away.
He saw a snake with patterned scales.
In Yunze Mountains, unless the animal was a common prey, it was always better to avoid most of the dangerous species.
“Thank you for waiting.”
Xu Ning got back on the horse, and they continued on their journey.
The closer they went towards Luoyue Lake, the thicker the fog was.
Xu Ning could only see ten meters in front of him.
Wei Binglin, Wei Zicheng and their guards were relatively strong, so they were unaffected.
Suddenly, Wei Zicheng whipped the weeds on the side of the road.
She retrieved the whip, and a flower spirit medicine was picked up by Wei Zicheng.
“Xu Ning, here.”
Wei Zicheng gave the spirit medicine to Xu Ning.
—
Discovered energy: 5 units——
Absorb?
Yes/No

Xu Ning took it, and the Martial Arts Panel appeared in front of him.
“Thanks.”
Xu Ning hadn’t noticed the spirit medicine beside him.
However, Wei Zicheng noticed it and even gave it to him.
“No worries.”
Wei Zicheng smiled casually.
Wei Zicheng and Wei Binglin had no opinion on Xu Ning collecting these resources.
They knew that in Kangyun County, the only way to improve in martial arts was to constantly improve and collect resources.
The group continued their journey for another hour.
Yunze Mountains were so big that they still haven’t reached Luoyue Lake yet.
The fog got thicker and thicker, and now Xu Ning could no longer see the road.
He could only rely on his previous experience to lead the way.
“This fog not only obstructs vision, but it’s also poisonous.”
Wei Binglin gave Xu Ning a Clearing Dan to defend against the poisonous fog.
A Clearing Dan was quite an advanced dan medicine. Although it was only a functional dan medicine, it was worth 5 units of energy.
Xu Ning was afraid that his body would be corroded from the fog, so he instantly ate the dan.
Another half hour went by.
Everyone finally passed through the fog.
They stood on a mountain and looked down, only to see a green landscape.
There was an oval lake between the valleys. The lake was calm, and its surface reflected the trees and flowers nearby.
There were various beasts walking near the lake. They were of different species, but they got along harmoniously.
“Um…”
Even though Wei Zicheng and Wei Binglin were from Yunying City, they had never seen such a sight.
They saw several demon-level creatures among the beasts.
Generally speaking, demon beasts had a strong sense of territory. They normally would never get along with one another in such a peaceful manner.
But currently, there were some ordinary beasts and even small wild animals that circled around them.
Even though they had a predator and prey relationship, they seemed to have abandoned their natural instincts and did not disturb one another.
It seemed like everything in this place lived in harmony.
“What is going on?”
Wei Zicheng asked Wei Binglin.
Wei Binglin shook his head. It’s probably because of Senior Liu.”
“Are those demon beasts?”
Xu Ning looked down. There were obviously a few animals that did not look like ordinary beasts.
Although this was the first time Xu Ning had seen one, he could instantly tell that they were special.
No matter the size or the color, they were different from ordinary beasts.
Although they had the characteristics of certain beasts, they did not look like any particular animal.
Xu Ning and the others passed through the territory of the demon beasts, but because of their fast traveling speed, the demon beasts did not chase after them.
This was the first time Xu Ning had seen a demon beast.
Suddenly, they heard a screech above their heads.
They subconsciously looked up.
A cyan raptor with huge wings was hovering above them.
The strong gusts of winds from the huge wings flapping shaked the vegetation around them. Xu Ning’s face also felt slightly uncomfortable.
‘Just the gusts of wind from its wings are already this powerful?’
Xu Ning covered his face with his hands. He saw the cyan raptor flying in the sky while observing them at the same time.
‘It’s intelligent, almost like a human…’
Whether an animal possessed basic wisdom was the fundamental difference between wild beasts and demon beast.
After seeing the cyan raptor in the air, the two guards held up their longbows and arrows, ready to fire at any time.
They had no fear on their faces. They obviously had experience dealing with demon beasts.
The cyan raptor suddenly uttered a loud, piercing screech.
Then, it flew up into the air and escaped into high-altitude clouds.
Just when they were wondering what was happening, they suddenly noticed that the various beasts near the lake were standing still and looked towards the dense forest.
A thin figure slowly walked out from the dense forest.
Standing in the shadow of the dense forest, he gently shook the walking stick in his hand.
Almost immediately, Xu Ning’s horse, as well as the other horses, began to move towards the lake.
‘What is this…’
Xu Ning didn’t know what was happening, but he was alert. He wanted to get off the horse.
“Brother Xu, don’t move.”
Wei Binglin said, “This is Senior Liu leading us to him.”
Xu Ning relaxed slightly after hearing this.
At the same time, Xu Ning was totally shocked.
They were far away from this senior, but he still could easily control their horses. An addition to that, he could even make terrifying demon beasts coexist in harmony.
It seemed that Senior Liu was terrifyingly powerful.
Xu Ning even felt that he had gone beyond the scope of conventional martial arts.
‘He’s above the mortal realm?’
Suddenly, Xu Ning thought of a past rumor.
Apparently, there was a realm above the mortal realm.
In that realm, the martial artist would be reborn, transformed, and would master a power higher than conventional martial arts.
This was just a legend in Kangyun County.
But witnessing this inhuman ability, Xu Ning subconsciously linked the two together.
The horse beneath him finally arrived in front of the lake.
Xu Ning also began to see the figure clearly.
It was a skinny old man. He was wearing a burlap shirt and was holding a wooden cane in his hand.
The old man’s skin was tan, like a farmer who had been working in the fields.
“Grandpa Liu!”
Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng leaped off their horses and knelt down on one knee to salute the skinny old man.
The same was true for the two guards.
When Xu Ning saw this, he also bowed.
After seeing how strong the old man was, Xu Ning felt that it was appropriate to bow like this.
“Wei Clan’s descendants?”
Liu Yijian looked at the faces of Wei Zicheng and Wei Binglin.
“Yes, Grandpa Liu.”
Wei Binglin said, “We are both Wei Qingyuan’s children. I am Wei Binglin and this is my sister Wei Zicheng.”
“We just arrived in Kangyun County a few days ago, and my uncle asked us to come and visit you.”
Wei Binglin explained his intentions.
