Chapter 659: Blood Phoenix Fruit, the Xu Family’s Matter
Xu Tianying’s request reverberated throughout the cabin!
Lu Xuan touched his chin. Xu Tianying looked pitiful enough to make people feel sorry for her.
However, Lu Xuan’s heart did not waver at all. After traveling all over the world, he had seen many beautiful women. Something like this didn’t faze him in the slightest.
“If you want me to support your family, is there something you can offer in return?” Lu Xuan stood up from the bed, went towards one wall of the cabin, and looked out of the window at the waves.
Although the ship was sailing at a fast speed, the people inside couldn’t feel it.
Although Lu Xuan did not know what had happened within the Xu family, he knew that the Xu family must be in big trouble based on what he has heard so far.
It may even involve the struggle between experts in the Divine Transformation Realm. If Lu Xuan were to get involved now, there was no doubt that he would become the target of public criticism.
However, Lu Xuan did not care much about any of that. Based on how strong Xu Tianying seemed back then, the Xu family in Tianhai City was rather small. Therefore, they wouldn’t be in any serious trouble.
With his strength, he could easily help them!
If he didn’t get something good enough to return, however, it would’ve been wishful thinking to believe that he would involve himself in such things.
Seeing that her looks could not move Lu Xuan, Xu Tianying naturally knew that Lu Xuan already figured out her intentions. Therefore, she had no choice but to say, “I am willing to give the longevity grass to Senior Lu!”
Lu Xuan turned around, looked at Xu Tianying, and said with a smile, “Do you seriously think that I need the longevity grass?”
Xu Tianying immediately knew that she had miscalculated things. Something like the longevity grass was very precious, serving as an effective medicine for experts in the Divine Transformation Realm.
However, something like that did not seem to interest Lu Xuan, who looked like a young Divine Transformation Realm expert.
Not only did Lu Xuan look young, but the force emitted from his body also proved that he was not an old master maintaining a younger appearance.
He truly was young and invincible!
He showed no signs of being an old expert in the Divine Transformation Realm!
Lu Xuan said, “If that’s all you can offer me, then forget it! If you want me to help you out with your trouble, at least show me a little sincerity!”
Xu Tianying said, “If Senior Lu is willing to be a supporter of our Xu family, we are willing to give you all the resources for cultivation that we can provide.”
This was also the relationship between many supporters and the families.
The families would provide supporters with cultivation resources. In exchange for their services, the supporters would provide the families with some necessary protection.
Lu Xuan quickly added, “The Xu family seems innocent now, but it used to be a family that had experts in the Divine Transformation Realm. Naturally, we can provide Senior Lu with some of our resources!” Therefore, we naturally have some resources that can be provided to Senior Lu! Also, there is a secret place near our Tianhai City, which opens every few decades. It’ll open in a month. If Senior Lu wishes, our Xu family can let you go there on our behalf. The secret place is said to be a place of cultivation for our ancestors, filled with many useful resources. Among them is a magical fruit called the Blood Phoenix Fruit, which can greatly benefit even an expert in the Divine Transformation Realm.”
“Blood Phoenix Fruit?” Lu Xuan’s eyes could not help but light up when he heard those three words.
This was because he knew of this fruit. He had even gotten it at some point during his previous life.
This Blood Phoenix Fruit was said to be a herbal medicine born after the mutation of a plant that had been contaminated with the blood of the phoenix.
Just swallowing it could’ve greatly increased one’s own strength. Of course, it was also used in medicine. With this fruit, Lu Xuan would have no problem quickly increasing his cultivation from the second tier of the Divine Transformation Realm to the third tier.
“That’s right. Based on the look on your face, it seems that you have heard of the Blood Phoenix Fruit before. There should be no need for me to explain any further!”
Seeing that Lu Xuan finally looked interested instantly made Xu Tianying feel better.
She added, “That Blood Phoenix Fruit ripens only once every decade, and it just so happens to coincide with the opening of the secret area!”
“Not bad. If it means I’ll get the Blood Phoenix Fruit, I will help you just this once. However, you have to tell me exactly what happened to your family. If there’s one thing I know is untrue, I don’t think you have to wait for that danger to come. I can simply kill all of you myself!”
Although Lu Xuan seemed apathetic as he spoke, his words seemed slightly threatening.
When Xu Tianying heard this, she could not help but be stunned. She knew that Lu Xuan was being serious. Based on how strong Lu Xuan seemed earlier, there was no doubt that he could easily kill them all.
Xu Tianying then explained the Xu family’s situation.
The Xu family was one of the original five major families in Tianhai City. It could’ve been regarded as one of the more powerful families in Tianhai City.
The Great Ancestor of the Xu family was also one of the Great Ancestors in the Divine Transformation Realm in Tianhai City. Although he was not the strongest in Tianhai City, he was not weak either.
He had protected the Xu family for centuries now!
A year ago, the Great Ancestor of the Xu family passed away.
The worst part about this was that the entire city somehow knew about this. Almost everyone found out that the Xu family had lost its place as one of the city’s more powerful families.
Having been protected by their Great Ancestor for centuries, the Xu family finally knew what it meant to be in a precarious situation.
Originally, they were known as one of the forces within Tianhai City that no one dared to provoke. But now, they had become a popular target.
Although they were not strong, they were still wealthy. The Xu family seemed like a three-year-old child walking by the side of the road with gold in his arms.
It was too appealing.
By relying on the power they accumulated over the years, the Xu family could still pose a threat to those who wanted to target them in Tianhai City. However, the real danger for the Xu family was from an enemy whom they had defeated in the past.
While the Xu family was rising to prominence, their Great Ancestor once wiped out an entire family, though one of the family’s members managed to escape.
After centuries had passed, the lone survivor of their family had made great achievements. He becoming the second-in-command of the very famous Yunlong Village nearby.
He had even reached the Divine Transformation Realm!
Now he was coming back for revenge!
Even though it was merely a rumor, it had already made the Xu family feel uneasy.
The Xu family looked everywhere for allies to bring to their side, including a Great Ancestor who was a long-time cultivator in the Divine Transformation Realm. However, he was notorious for having a bad character, constantly going back on his promises.
However, the Xu family had no other choice. To win over this Great Ancestor, they had offered him their trump card, the longevity grass.
Sure enough, it had immediately moved the Great Ancestor!
