Chapter 820: Chapter 820: Manager Xu, I’m willing!

"Could it be that he suspects I carry a treasure on me?"

The house wasn’t far, just over a hundred steps. Following behind Xu Wuwen, Lu Chen had countless thoughts flash through his mind, but it was only towards the end that he began to worry about this.

Speaking of treasures, there didn’t seem to be anything on Lu Chen that could be considered as such.

However, paradoxically, it was those intangible existences that might make him more susceptible to Xu Wuwen’s suspicions!

For example, an extraordinary Nascent Soul!

He didn’t know if those at the Divinity Transformation Stage had the ability to extend their Spiritual Sense into his body to inspect the Nascent Soul!

Whether it was his unique dual pupils or the weapon in hand.

For any Nascent Soul, these were incredibly unbelievable existences!

Lu Chen simply had no plausible explanations!

Xu Wuwen had revealed to him the signs of life, and Lu Chen did not expect he could deceive the other party!

Moreover, there were the unseen Heavenly pathways, the Unblemished pathways, and perhaps...

The unknown Ice-Strange Fire pathway!

But the more he had, the greater the chance Xu Wuwen would discover them.

Aside from these, there was also the Wen Tian spear hidden in his palm and the Earth Fire!

Speaking of the Wen Tian spear, it wasn’t much indeed, at most a Spiritual Artifact.

But the Earth Fire...

Lu Chen was also unsure.

After merging with the Ice-Strange Fire, the Earth Fire had become an exceptionally uncommon existence in the Mortal Realm, having helped Lu Chen eliminate countless Nascent Souls!

In just a short span of over a hundred steps, Lu Chen finally followed Xu Wuwen to the front of the house, but he still hadn’t settled on how to handle the various possibilities that might arise.

Nevertheless, he steeled himself and followed Xu Wuwen inside the house.

Instantly, his vision blurred, and he found himself within an immensely majestic group of buildings!

"This..."

Unexpectedly, beyond the mundane exterior of the mine, there was a world inside!

"A mere trick, nothing to fuss over."

Seeing Lu Chen’s reaction, Xu Wuwen lightly chuckled before continuing, "The Spirit World has no lack of mineral veins, but the veins of the Spirit Martial Sect are extraordinary. Naturally, there will be people guarding this place."

Lu Chen came to his senses. What surprised him wasn’t this artificial world.

It was the realization that within this cluster of buildings, there might exist beings even more formidable than Xu Wuwen!

And his words also indirectly confirmed Lu Chen’s suspicions.

"Xu Steward, I wonder why you have summoned me here?"

Lu Chen had no thoughts of leaving.

Perhaps there were ways to escape, and with the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, he might even find the flaws in this artificial world.

But Lu Chen was certain that the moment he made such a move, Xu Wuwen would immediately act.

So, there was simply no point.

At this moment, he could only comply, even making his tone much more humble voluntarily.

Xu Wuwen smiled lightly, then stepping into the air, "Follow me, this realm does not have the pressure of the Spirit World."

Lu Chen hurriedly followed, completely entering the group of buildings, and under Xu Wuwen’s lead, they reached a small courtyard.

"This is where I reside while at the mines."

Xu Wuwen briefly introduced before sitting down in a pavilion next to a pond.

Lu Chen didn’t dare to act recklessly, respectfully standing before him.

"No need to be so formal, just sit as you wish, I only have a few questions to ask you."

Xu Wuwen pointed to the stone chair opposite him and looked towards the lake. After Lu Chen sat down, he spoke timely, "Do you know why the Spirit Martial Sect is called so?"

Lu Chen was startled, Xu Wuwen was implying something.

The three characters of the Spirit Martial Sect, minus the last one which is ’sect’, are ’spirit’ and ’martial’.

Initially, he didn’t pay attention.

But now, hearing Xu Wuwen’s words, he immediately grasped the implication.

To validate the Dao through martial arts.

Spirit Martial.

These two instances of "martial" must have the same meaning!

Even.

His name contained the character "martial" too!

Suddenly, Lu Chen understood.

If he said he entered the path through Qi Refining and Spirit Drawing, perhaps he would end up like Huang Qingtian, directly sent to mine.

However, at that moment, he had deliberately stated that he validated the Dao through martial arts!

Inwardly smiling bitterly, Lu Chen couldn’t deny what he had previously claimed.

"Steward Xu, does the Spirit Martial Sect wield martial techniques through spiritual power?"

Xu Wuwen’s face slowly brightened with a smile.

"Exactly," he stood up, pointing at the broad pond, "the fish here may jump out of the pond, but cannot leave this realm. Now, do you want to be a fish in this pond or be you outside of this pond?"

Manifestly, he was inviting Lu Chen to join the Spirit Martial Sect!

Validating the Dao through martial arts before turning thirty and achieving Nascent Soul.

This illustrated that Lu Chen had truly extraordinary and brilliant talents in this aspect!

For the sect, recruiting such a person was far more meritorious than having a miner who only digs for three years.

Lu Chen took a deep breath.

He saw no room for refusal.

"Steward Xu, I am willing!"
