Great Xia Dynasty!

Lanshan County Annals: During the Tianqi Year, a noble family in the county town died violently overnight.
All members, regardless of age or gender, emitted a bizarre cold aura, with skin turned gray and pupils filled with fear and dread.
The local county office quickly closed the case, attributing the tragedy to ruthless mountain bandits, and simultaneously placed a bounty on the Black Wind Stronghold bandits outside the city.
...…..
In a room, a spacious and bright sensation came forth, with a faint woody fragrance lingering in the air.
Inside, there was an exceptionally prominent desk, meticulously carved from high-grade sandalwood.
In front of the desk, an ancient chair held a young man seated upright.
The young man was burly and well-built, with hard facial lines, standing tall like a pine, exuding an innate powerful aura.
A head of ink-like long hair was neatly tied, falling over his broad shoulders.
He wore a black brocade robe, with intricate embroidery faintly visible under the light.
At this moment, the desk in front of the young man was covered with books, and he held a yellowed book, staring at it solemnly.
Rustle, rustle, rustle.
The sound of flipping pages gently arose, the frequency increasing until a soft sound was heard, and the young man placed the book on the table.
"Sigh, who would have thought such things exist in this world."
Extraordinary?
Mysterious?
Monsters?
The young man was named Lu Xuan, and he had an unknown secret—he was not from this world.
Twenty years ago, he was a 996 corporate worker enjoying society's benefits on Blue Planet.
During a late-night overtime session, he suddenly lost consciousness, and upon awakening, he found himself as a newborn in this world.
Having read countless web novels, Lu Xuan immediately knew he had transmigrated.
Like many transmigrators before him, he carried a system, able to visualize a point allocation panel in his mind.
Host: Lu Xuan
Realm: Blood Refining Realm (Perfection)
Cultivation Technique: Fiery Fire Saber Skill 9/9 (Great Mastery)
Points: 1
Fiery Fire Saber Skill was a saber technique Lu Xuan accidentally acquired from the family's treasure trove.
Thus, Lu Xuan began to cultivate this saber technique from a young age, achieving its highest level of mastery.
The point system, as long as there were enough points, Lu Xuan could use it to enhance martial arts techniques, quickly mastering their mysteries.
The acquisition of points, Lu Xuan discovered unexpectedly from consuming powerful medicinal herbs.
By consuming potent supplements, like medicinal herbs with rich potency or the flesh and blood of wild beasts, he would gain points.
Indeed, this world actually contained martial arts, allowing ordinary people to train and strengthen their bodies.
Lu Xuan had read ancient records describing how powerful individuals could shatter mountains and rivers, chase stars and moons, sever rivers, and halt the flow.
Whether these miraculous feats were real, Lu Xuan did not know.
However, Lu Xuan could now easily shatter a giant rock one meter high with his bare hands.
As a Blood Refining Realm Lu Xuan, his skin was like steel, bones like metal, with vital energy soaring like a rainbow.
From what Lu Xuan knew, the martial artist realms of this world were:
Skin Refining, Flesh Refining, Bone Refining, Bone Marrow Refining, Blood Refining.
Each realm had several stages.
Initial, Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, Perfection.
Once all five realms were fully refined, the body would emit a mysterious aura, possessing unbelievable power.
This realm was called the Inner Qi Realm.
Since his birth, Lu Xuan had never seen anyone in this realm.
It was said that these legendary Inner Qi masters only existed in the prefecture city.
However, Lu Xuan firmly believed that with his system, he would one day reach that realm.
At the age of twenty, he was already a perfected Blood Refining Realm existence.
If this news spread, it would surely cause a sensation.
According to Lu Xuan's knowledge, the strongest martial artist in Qingyun County was the Chief Constable Chen Shi, in Bone Refining Realm Perfection, achieved after a lifetime of refining.
Meanwhile, Lu Xuan had achieved Blood Refining Perfection at only twenty years, just one step away from the legendary Inner Qi Realm.
Such news would be astonishing, unbelievable, so Lu Xuan carefully concealed his true realm, publicly claiming to be in Skin Refining Realm.
However, at this moment, Lu Xuan's expression turned solemn and heavy, as he initially thought he could develop quietly.
With his point allocation system, he believed he would eventually become invincible.
Unexpectedly, this world also contained dreadful supernatural entities.
The records in the annals, Lu Xuan could immediately discern, were not simple matters.
Having personally experienced these extraordinary and bizarre forces.
Two days ago, Lu Xuan's father, Lu Jiahe, and an apothecary clerk, went to local villages to procure herbs.
After staying overnight in a small village in Ping'an Village, they woke to find several people had encountered something dire.
Those afflicted appeared pale and fearful, persistently scratching themselves.
Even with numerous bloody scratches, they felt nothing.
Terrified, Lu Jiahe urgently restrained them, leaving the herb procurement behind, rushing back to the county town.
Upon returning home, Lu Jiahe immediately ordered everyone.
Without his permission, no one was allowed to speak of or approach those individuals.
Being the Lu Family's eldest son, Lu Xuan naturally knew about this matter and made a special visit to see those who seemed possessed.
Seeing their plight, even with two lifetimes of experience, Lu Xuan couldn't help but frown.
Their upper bodies were covered in open wounds, fingers twisted and fractured.
Yet, their fingers still moved, attempting to break free.
Among them was Lu Xuan's cousin, Lu Jiahe's nephew.
No wonder his father returned with a pale, powerless face, urgently rushing back.
What exactly had they encountered?
Of course, Lu Xuan had long had his answers, already considering certain forbidden things.
Besides those extraordinary entities, what else could make a normal person become so twisted and insane?
...
Knock, knock, knock.
While Lu Xuan was lost in thought, a knock on the door brought him back.
"Young Master, the master is in the backyard. There's an urgent matter, please go over."
"Backyard?"
Lu Xuan instantly guessed his father Lu Jiahe's intentions.
Because now, the backyard had been sealed off by Lu Jiahe, storing those possessed individuals.
Apart from Lu Xuan, no one could enter without Lu Jiahe's order.
Since returning home, Lu Jiahe had spent most of his time in the backyard, apart from daily life activities.
Lu Xuan was also worried about his father and planned to visit the backyard.
Lu Xuan sensed something unsettling from those individuals.
