Chapter 169 Improving your cultivation

Lu Xiuyuan stood quietly in his master's meditation room, but his heart was churning like a raging sea. When he heard the shocking news from his master, it was like a bolt of lightning that struck him hard, almost making him unable to stand.

Xuan Huanzi, the uncle who was once admired by everyone, actually betrayed the sect and joined the demon clan! What's even more shocking is that with this act of betrayal, his cultivation level has improved by leaps and bounds, from the original Jindan stage to the Yuanying stage in an instant. Such a huge leap is really incredible.

Lu Xiuyuan's mind kept flashing back to the time he spent with Xuan Huanzi. Although they did not interact frequently, every time they met, Xuan Huanzi always showed a gentle and otherworldly temperament, giving people a feeling of being at peace with the world. However, reality ruthlessly tore apart all these beautiful appearances, revealing Xuan Huanzi's hypocritical and ugly true face - a treacherous and shameless person who sold out his country for fame!

Anger, disappointment, confusion... all kinds of emotions intertwined together, making Lu Xiuyuan feel extremely painful and confused. He could not accept such a cruel fact, nor did he understand why Xuan Huanzi, who seemed to be upright and kind, would take this path of no return. Could it be that power and desire can really make people lose their nature and abandon the gratitude and morality of their teachers for many years?

At this moment, Lu Xiuyuan had a deep doubt about human nature. Faced with such a dramatic change, he knew that he had a great mission. The master told him this shocking secret in the hope that he could stand up, clean up the sect, and defend the dignity of the righteous path. But with his current strength, how easy is it to fight against Xuan Huanzi who has entered the Nascent Soul stage? However, even if the road ahead is full of difficulties and dangers, even if the enemy is stronger than he can imagine, Lu Xiuyuan still does not flinch. Because in his heart, justice cannot be desecrated, and the honor and disgrace of the master is above everything else!

Lu Xiuyuan's eyes flashed with determination, he clenched his fists, and a strong desire for revenge surged in his heart. He could not tolerate Xuan Huanzi's betrayal of his master and the sect, and he could not tolerate him continuing to work for the demon race and endanger the safety of the human race.

However, when his master told him that Xuan Huanzi had become a Yuanying stage cultivator, Lu Xiuyuan's anger was instantly extinguished by a cold reality. He knew that his cultivation was still shallow, and there was a huge difference between the strength of the Jindan stage and the Yuanying stage. If he acted rashly, not only would he fail to avenge his master, but he might also lose his life.

"Master, what should I do?" Lu Xiuyuan looked at his master, his eyes full of confusion and anxiety.

The master sighed slightly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He patted Lu Xiuyuan on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Xiuyuan, your current cultivation level is indeed not comparable to Xuanhuanzi. However, this does not mean that you cannot avenge him."

"Master, what do you mean?" Lu Xiuyuan asked puzzledly.

The master said slowly: "Although Xuan Huanzi's cultivation has greatly increased, his behavior of betraying his master and colluding with the demon race has aroused public outrage in the entire cultivation community. You don't need to face him alone. We can unite with other sects and forces to deal with Xuan Huanzi and the demon race together."

"But even if we unite with other forces, can we really defeat Xuanhuanzi and the demon clan?" Lu Xiuyuan was still a little worried.

The master smiled and said, "Xiuyuan, you have to believe in our strength and wisdom. Although Xuanhuanzi has a high level of cultivation, his behavior of betraying his master and colluding with the demon clan has made him lose the support of the people. Moreover, although the demon clan is powerful, they are not invincible. As long as we unite as one and make a careful plan, we will be able to defeat them."

"I understand, Master." Lu Xiuyuan nodded, and the confusion and anxiety in his heart gradually dissipated. He knew that he couldn't rush for success, and he needed to improve his cultivation first, and at the same time unite with other forces to fight against Xuanhuanzi and the demon clan.

Lu Xiuyuan stood in his master's quiet room, his anger and determination intertwined into an unstoppable force. After learning that Xuan Huanzi had betrayed his master, joined the demon clan, and his cultivation had soared to the Nascent Soul stage, he was filled with hatred for Xuan Huanzi and guilt towards his master. However, he also knew that his current cultivation was far from Xuan Huanzi's opponent, and he had to find a way to make up for the gap in cultivation.

Lu Xiuyuan is a very smart and knowledgeable cultivator. In addition to cultivation, he is also interested in secular technology and craftsmanship. He knows that in the cultivation world, although the level of cultivation determines the strength of combat power, wisdom and creativity are equally important. He decided to use his knowledge and wisdom to create modern weapons to fight against Xuanhuanzi and the demon clan.

First, Lu Xiuyuan started with black powder and began to develop a new type of gunpowder. He knew that although black powder had limited power, its principle was simple and easy to manufacture, and it was the basis for making modern weapons. He used his knowledge of chemistry and constantly tried various formulas and proportions, and finally developed a new type of gunpowder with greater power and higher stability. This gunpowder can not only release huge energy in a short period of time, but also remain stable in extreme environments, making it possible to manufacture more advanced weapons.

With the new gunpowder as the basis, Lu Xiuyuan began to manufacture guns and ammunition. He used his knowledge of mechanics and physics to design the structure and principle of the gun. He constantly drew blueprints, made models, and conducted experiments. After countless failures and corrections, he finally made a gun that could fire the new gunpowder.

The appearance of this gun is simple and exquisite, and contains the essence of modern technology. Its barrel has been specially treated to withstand huge pressure and temperature; its trigger adopts a precise mechanical structure to ensure the accuracy and stability of shooting; its ammunition is made of new gunpowder and special materials, which can release huge energy in an instant and knock the enemy to the ground.

Lu Xiuyuan stared at the beautifully shaped gun in front of him with a focused expression, his eyes flashing with determination and expectation. He knew very well what a good gun meant to the owner - it was not only a guarantee of life safety but also a symbol of strength.

To ensure that there is no risk, Lu Xiuyuan decided to personally conduct an extremely rigorous test. He took a deep breath, mobilized the energy in his body, and used his unique secret method to instantly simulate several lifelike virtual enemies. These enemies were either erratic, powerful, or proficient in strange skills, making them hard to guard against.

Facing such a tough opponent, Lu Xiuyuan was not afraid and stepped into the battlefield step by step with a spear in hand. In an instant, gunshots rang out and flames shot up into the sky. Bullets rained down on the virtual enemies, and each shot accurately hit the vital points, showing Lu Xiuyuan's extraordinary marksmanship and the terrifying power of this mysterious gun.

However, this was just the beginning. As time went by, Lu Xiuyuan constantly changed his tactics and adjusted his attack rhythm, and even raised his own skills to the limit to cope with the increasingly powerful enemy offensive. In this thrilling contest, the gun always maintained an outstanding performance. No matter what kind of harsh environment it was in, it could stably exert amazing power and give the enemy a heavy blow.

After countless fierce battles, Lu Xiuyuan finally stopped his actions, exhaled a long breath, and showed a satisfied smile on his face. Through this rigorous test, he was convinced that this gun was a peerless magic weapon with excellent performance, excellent stability, and extremely terrible lethality. Once used properly, it would become a supreme weapon to defeat the enemy.
