Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 473 Secret Hand
After the chaos, the place was a complete mess.

The house collapsed, and bricks, tiles, and wooden beams were scattered.

Furthermore, wounded soldiers lay on stretcher-like plank beds, groaning in pain for a long time.

This situation was common throughout the city, and the Zhu family was no exception.

"In less than a year, first someone released a group of pig demons into the city, then the Sanhe Gang and the Qingyi Gang fought each other, and now a demonic calamity has spread throughout the city."

Zhang, the head nurse, sighed:
"What a troubled time!"

"It should be alright now." Qian Shiyao took a cloth that had been boiled in hot water and wiped Zhu Ju's 'wounds', whispering:
"Now the Sanhe Gang has gained a firm foothold, and even the evil spirits within the gang have been driven out."

"The days ahead should be much more peaceful."

"I hope so," Zhang, the head nurse, sighed, then said:

“Young Master, you didn’t need to take action last night. How could you expect to get away with having so many guards in the manor for nothing?”

"Your current injury might hinder your martial arts..."

"It's all our fault for failing to protect them properly!"

"It was my carelessness." Zhu Ju's expression was calm as he let Qian Shiyao carefully wipe the blood from the wound, and he spoke slowly:
"I never imagined that a demon would be so much stronger than a human martial artist when they are both at the eighth rank. It's really not right."

"I'll go to the Lu Family Boxing Gym later to ask Master Lu about my injuries."

"correct."

"What was the situation like in other places last night?"

Although a demon broke into the Zhu residence last night, with him and Zhang Huyuan in charge, the number of casualties was not large.

The children of the second and third wives in the backyard were unharmed, only slightly frightened.

“I sent someone to investigate early this morning,” Qian Shiyao replied.

"It is said that this calamity was caused by the demons of the Sanhe Gang. The deputy leader of the Sanhe Gang, Hai Yunzhou, was a sixth-grade dragon. After going mad, he was killed by the gang leader by the underground canal in the south of the city."

"The joint defense force composed of the City Lord's Mansion, the Zhou family, and the Nie family has cleared out most of the remaining demons in the city."

"We also ran into Miss Zhou's people on the way, who came to inquire about your situation, young master."

Hai Yunzhou is dead?
Zhu Ju's eyes showed doubt.

The Demon-Attracting Grass shouldn't have any effect on sixth-grade demons.

Moreover, Haiyunzhou seems to have the background of the East Sea Dragon Clan. Even if it really goes crazy, would Li Xianshan dare to kill it?
Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Jiaolong clan?

However, after this battle, the demon race within the Sanhe Gang was almost wiped out, which can be considered as solving a major internal problem.

"Hmm..." Zhu Ju seemed to be thinking, then stood up:

"Prepare the carriage, I'm going to the Lu Family Boxing School."

"Master!"

Qian Shiyao's expression changed:
"Your injury..."

"No problem." Zhu Ju waved his hand.
"Go quickly."

"Yes."

Qian Shiyao had no choice but to agree and turned to prepare the carriage.

Lu's Boxing Gym.

Although Zhu Ju learned the Dragon Elephant Force and Giant Spirit Fist from Lu Dingkui, this was his second time here.

Without him.

As a wealthy young master and the head of the Zhu family, he gave so much that he could even customize his studies.

There's no need for them to receive standardized instruction at a boxing gym like other ordinary people.

"Bah..."

Lu Dingkui lifted the back of Zhu Ju's clothes, his expression suddenly changed, and his eyes showed horror.

A gruesome 30-centimeter-long gash was now visible on his once smooth back.

The skin and flesh were turned outwards, revealing the white bones.

If it were just one inch deeper, it would directly damage the internal organs.

However, what truly shocked him was that Zhu Ju remained completely unfazed despite such horrific injuries.

This wealthy young man seems to be far more patient and stronger than others imagine.

"This injury..."

Lu Dingkui's expression was solemn as he slowly shook his head:

"The damage has reached the muscle tissue, and even if it heals, it will be difficult to fully recover. It's such a pity."

"Ugh!"

He sighed and said:
"I heard that Young Master Zhu single-handedly killed an eighth-rank demon last night?"

"Not really." Zhu Ju shook his head.
"With the help of the Zhu family's guards, I'm afraid I won't be able to see Master Lu if I rely on myself alone."

"Amazing!" Lu Dingkui exclaimed.

"To be able to fight an eighth-grade demon with the cultivation of a ninth-grade cultivator is something that even seasoned demon hunters rarely achieve."

"Young Master Zhu, have you mastered the Dragon Elephant Strength to a minor level?"

"Not bad." Zhu Ju flexed his wrists and spoke slowly:
"I was just one point away from completing the jade burial suit, but alas, that one point... I'm afraid it's not meant for me."

Lu Dingkui's eyes dimmed.

indeed.

Zhu Ju's flesh and blood were filled with internal energy, but this wound pierced a hole in his flawless body.

Unless there's some kind of miraculous medicine to repair the body, a scar will definitely be left on his back. This scar...

This makes it difficult to perfect the technique.

"This is what body-refining hard skills are all about."

Lu Dingkui sighed softly:
"The method of tempering the body requires external objects to hone it; the slightest carelessness will damage oneself and cause the path to be interrupted."

"Young Master Zhu's ability to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Strength to a minor level in such a short time is truly remarkable, making him a genius in body cultivation."

"pity……"

"The heavens are jealous of such a talented person!"

For a martial artist who cultivates hard skills, he, as the head of the martial arts school, knew better than anyone what such an injury meant.

A promising future, ruined.

"Master Lu." Zhu Ju frowned upon hearing this, a hint of urgency appearing on his face at just the right moment:

Is there really no other way?

"No." Lu Dingkui sighed.

"Unless you can find a third-rank master to perform a tendon-strengthening and marrow-cleansing procedure for you, it will be difficult to fully recover."

"A third-rank expert?" Zhu Ju's voice was urgent:

"I've heard that some cultivation techniques can also transform a person's body and soul. Is that true?"

"Where in the world is there such a skill?" Lu Dingkui frowned.

"Absolutely not..."

"Maybe!"

Perhaps to comfort Zhu Ju, he changed the subject and nodded:

"I am just a boxing gym owner with limited knowledge. Perhaps I have a solution, but that's not certain."

"father."

At this time.

A boy walked in carrying a tray:
"The Jade Cream is here."

"it is good."

Lu Dingkui stood up:
"This Jade Cream is a secret medicine of the Lu family. When applied by cultivators, it can help temper their bodies and promote the growth of new tissues and blood circulation, which is exactly what they need."

"Young Master Zhu, please bear with it."

"Hmm." Zhu Ju nodded, his gaze falling on the boy:

"This must be Young Master Lu Yifei?"

"I wouldn't dare," Lu Yifei hurriedly replied.
"Young Master Zhu, you can just call me Yifei. My elder sister was able to go to Shenjing because of you."

"Heh..." Zhu Ju chuckled.
"It was your sister's discerning eye that allowed my maid to rise from the ashes and become a phoenix. Her ability to go to the capital is entirely due to her own efforts."

"Yifei..."

"What is this person's name?"

He glanced at the man behind Lu Yifei, his eyes flickering slightly.

Last night, this person also witnessed Lu Dingkui displaying his divine power, but he pretended to be unconscious and did not open his eyes.

"This is Senior Brother Zhang Luo."

Lu Yifei introduced with a smile:

"Senior Brother Zhang is exceptionally talented. He has already reached the eighth rank and will surely be able to inherit the martial arts school's legacy in the future."

"Greetings, Young Master Zhu." Zhang Luo stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute.

"Unlike Young Master Zhu, who mastered the Dragon Elephant Strength to a minor level in just over a year."

"..." Zhu Ju's eyes dimmed:
"Let's not talk about it."

…………

soon.

Zhu Ju, his face pale, boarded the carriage to return home. As the curtain was lowered, his expression changed.

Under the clothes.

His flesh twitched slightly, and the gruesome wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, it was completely intact.

"The magic power of the giant spirit..."

"Such techniques are profound and mysterious. Without the guidance of a master, it is difficult to achieve anything. If Lu Dingkui had cultivated the Dragon Elephant Strength, he might have already reached the seventh rank. But he didn't know what was good for him and cultivated the Giant Spirit Divine Skill. As a result, he is only at the eighth rank at this age."

"Lu Yifei is the same. He clearly has decent talent and resources, but he hasn't achieved much. It seems they don't understand that divine skills and techniques are not suitable for everyone."

"but……"

He flexed his fingers and smiled calmly:
"This time, we've left a mark on Lu Dingkui, so he can sense things in advance in the future."

Regarding the Giant Spirit Divine Skill.

Although Zhu Ju also wanted it, he wasn't in a hurry.

Before advancing to the sixth rank, the Dragon Elephant Force was already sufficient for him, and there would be little point in changing his cultivation.

Moreover.

Forcibly seizing someone else's martial arts techniques could be even more disastrous, especially if the techniques are incomplete or contain hidden secrets.
