BXBX NOVEL Chapter 95 - Courting Death
Lin Ran spent the time it took to burn an incense stick to explain the method to comprehend the power of heaven and earth.
After hearing this, Huo Qiyun also gained many insights. One of the greatest insights was that he had wasted plenty of time.
“Next time, just tell me it’s the same as the original book!”
Huo Qiyun looked at Lin Ran and gritted his teeth. If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t beat Lin Ran up, he would have done it!
“Don’t blame me. You made me explain it to you!”
Lin Ran shrugged. Then, his expression turned serious as he said, “Alright, try it now. Forget all the sword techniques and cultivation techniques you’ve learned before. You’re now a blank piece of paper. Use your purest state to feel the majestic power of heaven and earth!”
Huo Qiyun felt goosebumps all over his body, but he still sat cross-legged as instructed and started focusing his mind.
If it was an ordinary person who had never cultivated before, just the process of comprehending it would take at least three days or at most a few years. Many people did not become martial artists in the end because they were impatient at this stage.
However, Huo Qiyun was a genius after all and had been cultivating for decades, so he quickly found that unattainable state.
Sensing the change in Huo Qiyun, Lin Ran pursed his lips and chuckled. He quietly retracted his divine sense.
What he had to do next was to wait. Through re-cultivating, Huo Qiyun could allow his internal energy to sort out the meridians that had been messed up by Qi Deviation. As for how long Lin Ran had to wait, it would depend on the person.
Huo Qiyun was very smart at that time. After realizing that something was wrong, he didn’t continue to forcefully activate his internal energy, so Qi Deviation didn’t impact him too much. According to Lin Ran’s estimation, Huo Qiyun would recover in a few days at most.
Lying on the hard wooden bed in the inn, Lin Ran couldn’t help but miss the carved bed in the palace.
“It’s all this kid’s fault for messing around. Otherwise, we would be in the palace now!”
Lin Ran thought to himself. Seeing that Huo Qiyun was still in a meditative state, he prepared to sleep. However, just as he closed his eyes, he felt a powerful aura approaching!
Although it was powerful, it was actually only at the sixth level of the Martial Master Realm. However, in a small place like Lotus Town, this realm was already invincible.
People at this level would either join the army or be recruited by the important ministers to guard their house. Why would they stay in a small place like this?
After sensing it closely, Lin Ran’s interest was piqued.
There was a group of five people.
The one in the lead was a sixth level Martial Master, and the other four were all mediocre martial artists. Lin Ran couldn’t be bothered to care about them.
However, what really interested Lin Ran was that after these people approached from afar, they stopped at the entrance of the inn.
Soon, a commotion came from downstairs.
Lin Ran looked at Huo Qiyun, who was still in a meditative state. He waved his sword and formed an impenetrable cage of sword energy, sealing Huo Qiyun inside and isolating him from the outside world.
If Huo Qiyu was disturbed by the outside world and injured by Qi Deviation again, it wouldn’t be something that could be resolved by re-cultivating.
After making the arrangements, Lin Ran sheathed his sword and prepared to go out to watch the show. However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw the waiter running over anxiously.
Seeing Lin Ran, the waiter hurriedly shouted from afar, “Sir! Sir, something bad has happened!”
Seeing this, Lin Ran’s heart skipped a beat. He raised his hand and gestured for the waiter to keep quiet. He asked softly with a faint smile, “Let me guess. Are the people outside looking for me?”
The waiter was stunned for a moment, and Lin Ran knew that he had guessed correctly. He silently activated the Mystic Sword Technique and arrived downstairs in a flash.
The door of the inn was already blocked.
Strangely, no one came to watch the commotion this time. Not only was there no one on the road outside, but even the waiter hid on the second floor and did not dare to come down.
But seeing their attire, Lin Ran understood.
The burly man with the huge sword was shouting outside the door. Behind him were a few martial artists.
The sixth level Martial Master stood in the middle of the crowd. He was a young man in his twenties. He was wearing a red robe and a black crown. There was a slender sword hanging from his waist. He stood there with his chin raised and a face that wrote “I’m arrogant.”
The Heavenly Saint Dynasty had very strict rules regarding clothes. For example, gold and purple could only be used by the emperor’s family. If ordinary families had golden patterns on their clothes, they could be executed on the streets.
This sixth level Martial Master was wearing a red private suit. He was either a second-grade official or the top martial artist of the martial arts examination.
No matter what, there would not be such a young second-grand official in the imperial court. Therefore, the identity of this red-robed man was obvious.
“Martial arts is really prospering day by day…”
Lin Ran couldn’t help but sigh. “If I had such an opponent back then, I wouldn’t have been where I am today!”
At this moment, the burly man with the huge sword also saw Lin Ran. His face turned pale, and his words were stuck in his throat. He took a few steps back and almost tripped over the threshold in his panic.
Seeing that he was embarrassing himself, the red-robed man couldn’t help but snort coldly. “Big Brother, can’t you be more steady? Why are you so panicked?!”
Although the burly man was called “Big Brother”, he did not look like a big brother at all.
He turned around and hid behind the red-robed man. Half of his iron tower-like figure was exposed. He pointed at Lin Ran and said in a trembling voice, “He, he, he, he’s the master I told you about!”
Hearing this, the red-robed man finally turned to look at Lin Ran.
At this moment, Lin Ran roughly understood what was going on. It was boring here anyway, so he didn’t mind having some fun with them. With a thought, he suppressed his realm to an extremely low level.
The red-robed man narrowed his eyes. “Hmph! He’s just a second level Martial Master. Look at how scared you are!”
“Second level Martial Master?”
The burly man with the huge sword was stunned. He boldly stuck his head out and carefully checked Lin Ran’s realm. Then, he looked confused. “That’s not right. When I sensed him before, he clearly…”
“Clearly what?”
The red-robed man glared at him and reprimanded him mercilessly, “I told you to cultivate well, but you refused to listen. It’s fine if your cultivation level can’t compare to mine, but now, even a second level Martial Master scares the wit out of you. You’re simply embarrassing our Hong family!”
The burly man was scolded, but he only lowered his head and did not dare to retort.
The red-robed man snorted and looked at Lin Ran with his chin held high. “You! Get over here!”
