The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 236 - 234 Xie Yuxin

Chapter 236: Chapter 234 Xie Yuxin

“Because you’re Bai Xiaotian’s brother.” Shen Luo didn’t hesitate and answered immediately.

Upon hearing this answer, Bai Xiaoyun’s smile deepened. He suddenly seemed to remember something and said,

“Big Brother Shen, be careful yourself these days. Wu Tong, whom you defeated last time, seems to be getting close to Xie Yuxin recently. He probably wants to find a powerful backer to regain his lost ground.”

“Who is Xie Yuxin?” Shen Luo asked in surprise.

“She is the most powerful cultivator among our household guest officials, and the only early-stage Grain Avoidance cultivator. She is exceedingly beautiful, but has a terrible temper, always stony-faced pretending to be noble. In fact, she probably wouldn’t bother with Wu Tong, but it’s best if you don’t provoke her if you can avoid it.” Bai Xiaoyun said.

“As members of the Bai family, aren’t we all serving the family? Are we fighting amongst ourselves? Isn’t your father taking any action?” Shen Luo said, somewhat incredulously.

...

“Well…Our Bai family is after all a large clan, and with more people come more problems. The situation is very complicated, and even if Father wanted to intervene, it would be difficult because of all the intricacies involved. In fact, there are quite a few people in the Bai family who don’t like you. Don’t trust the others in the Bai family too much.” Bai Xiaoyun scratched his head as if hesitating to say more.

Shen Luo’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this. His impression of Bai Xiaoyun enhanced significantly.

In the end, he gave Bai Xiaoyun solemn instructions to keep the matter of the flying talisman a secret. Bai Xiaoyun also promised with thumps on his chest that he would not mention it to the third person.

After that, the two returned to the Bai Mansion together.

Starting from that day, the once indolent second young master of the Bai family, Bai Xiaoyun, suddenly reformed himself and resumed his training.

…

Several days later.

Inside Shen Luo’s bedroom stood a large wooden bucket, with him submerged inside, his eyes closed as he practiced the Nameless Cultivation Technique.

Strands of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi gathered and entered his body through the bucket, a faint blue light emanated from within him.

After a long time, he opened his eyes with a hint of joy.

The main content of Qi Refining Stage cultivation is to open up the body’s various acupoints. In this regard, the Huangting Technique and the Nameless Cultivation Technique are similar.

After several days of attempting, he began to apply the experience of practicing the Huangting technique in his dream realm to the cultivation of the Nameless techniques, which improved his pace of cultivation by a great deal.

According to his estimate, although his current training speed still falls short compared to talents like Bai Xiaotian and Ying Luo, it is already superior to that of an average cultivator.

Shen Luo felt somewhat invigorated, he soon closed his eyes and once again entered the state of cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

During this period, Shen Luo barely left his room and spent the entire time in closed-door cultivation.

Thanks to his hard work, he achieved significant results. He successively opened several acupoints in his Ren and Du meridians, gradually approaching the peak of the Fifth Level of Qi Refining.

One day, while he was in closed-door cultivation, a knock sounded from outside.

Shen Luo opened his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed. But he soon relaxed them and got up to open the courtyard door, Finding a maid in her teens standing outside.

“Young Master Shen, the family head requests your presence.” Seeing Shen Luo, the maid showed a respectful demeanor and said.

“The family head? Do you know what it’s about?” Shen Luo asked, somewhat surprised.

“The family head did not say, only asked me to invite you to the Jingming Hall.” The maid said.

“I see.” Shen Luo replied, somewhat puzzled. The Jingming Hall was where the Bai family made decisions, why would they invite him there?

After the maid gave a bow, she quickly left.

Shen Luo returned to his room, changed into clean clothes and walked towards the central courtyard of the Bai Mansion. He soon arrived at a brightly lit hall.

The hall was spacious, with enough room for a dozen or two dozen people. At present, there were already quite a few people seated.

These people were in diverse attire but each showed an extraordinary demeanor, with a guest official token hanging from their waists. No one was talking.

Shen Luo stepped into the hall, with curiosity playing on his mind. He had been a part of the Bai family for some time now. Most of the time he was cultivating behind closed doors, so aside from the White Water Daoist and Wu Tong, this was his first time seeing the other guest officials.

Bai Hecheng and Elder Bai Jiangfeng were sitting at the main seats in the hall. Several members of the Bai family sat next to them, their expressions serious.

It seemed like everyone turned to look at the doorway when they heard someone coming in, with an invisible pressure pressing over.

Shen Luo, who had faced and slain Nascent Soul stage monsters in the dream realm, was hardly perturbed by this pressure and walked into the hall with a calm expression.

“Shen Luo has arrived, please take a seat.” Bai Hecheng said with a smile when he saw Shen Luo.

Seeing Bai Hecheng greet Shen Luo so warmly, those eyes looking at Shen Luo suddenly became much sharper.

“Greetings to the family head.” Shen Luo gave a bow towards Bai Hecheng and sat at a corner place in the hall.

As soon as he sat down, a hate-filled gaze from not far shot toward him.

Shen Luo turned his head and saw Wu Tong, whom he had struck down with a Small Thunder Talisman.

As soon as Wu Tong saw Shen Luo notice his gaze, he looked a bit unnatural and quickly shifted his gaze.

At the moment, he was sitting with the White Water Daoist, behind a lady dressed in red.

The lady was very beautiful, with slender and towering stature, particularly her legs which stood out prominently compared to the others seated there.

At the moment, her eyes were closed, apparently in meditation.

“Big Brother Shen, what were you looking at? That woman may be beautiful, but she is no easy mark.” Bai Xiaoyun came up from somewhere and sat next to Shen Luo.

“Is she the Xie Yuxin you talked about?” Shen Luo asked, drawing back his gaze.

“Yes, it’s her.” Bai Xiaoyun nodded.

“Second Young Master, why did the family head ask us to come?” Shen Luo asked.

“You don’t know? Well, you’ve been inside the room these days, a major event has happened in Jianye City recently.” Bai Xiaoyun said in surprise, then spoke softly.

“Oh, what major event?” Shen Luo asked with a serious expression.

“It’s a long story. You know there was a haunting in the Shui Nuan Pavilion some time ago, three people were killed. It’s like that incident set a precedent. In recent times, especially in the past month, hauntings have been happening frequently in and around Jianye City. Many people have been injured or killed, causing panic in the city. Father called you here today, probably to discuss a countermeasure.” Bai Xiaoyun said with a worried brow.

Shen Luo was surprised to hear this. He couldn’t believe that such a major event had happened outside during the days he had been cultivating in seclusion.

After a moment, another man, a young guest official holding a folding fan, entered from outside. He saluted Bai Hecheng saying, “Family head, I was delayed. Please forgive me.”

“Friend Feng has arrived. Please take a seat.” Bai Hecheng nodded, straightened up, and slowly said, “Everyone who should be here is here, so let’s begin. I guess you all know why I’ve summoned you here today. It’s about the hauntings that have been happening in the city.”
