Chapter 153: Rest

. The Eight-Footed Demon Ox Beast also opened its mouth and lied.Xiang Yi's face was gloomy, and he didn't respond. Lu Xiaoti felt a chill in his heart. Xiang Yi's aura was definitely not weak, being...Dugu Han's black Dharma Seal was still battling against Lu Xiaitian's curved blade, but his golden knife had no obstacles and could directly kill Lu Xiaitian. 。Just as Dugu Han's golden sword was about to strike Lu Xia Tian down, Lu Xia Tian promptly brought out the Star Lamp. 。A screen of light blocked Dugu Han's sure-kill strike. 。And at the same time, the golden spiritual sword that had originally fallen to the ground suddenly rose into the air. The golden shell on its surface fell layer by layer, revealing the black flying sword underneath. A terrifying aura of a magic weapon surged into the sky. Dugu Han's golden knife had only just touched Lu Xiaoteng's starlight barrier... 。There is no way to defend against this, only a thin barrier of spiritual energy can be erected. 。Thus, the golden sword was blocked by the screen, and Lu Xia Tian's black flying sword shed its outer shell, revealing its sharp edge. It easily pierced through Dugu Han's protective spirit shield, and then a hole appeared in Dugu Han's head. 。Dugu Han died still wondering who had suddenly summoned the weapon behind him. It was completely unexpected. 。In fact, this battle was won by Lu Xia Tian in a very dangerous way. If he hadn't had the Xing Deng defensive magic weapon, he would probably have had to use those fourth-order Wuxing Lingjia talismans that were used to save his life at critical moments. 。However, seeing Su Qing's golden bell dharma artifact, Lu Xia Tian also became quite envious. The depth of the Jindan family was indeed beyond his reach. Even with his painstakingly acquired Five Elements Spirit Armor Talisman and Star Lantern combined, it was probably not as strong as that golden bell's defense. 。The whole process was thrilling, but the greater the risk, the greater the reward. 。Dugu Han, the third-ranked disciple of the Golden Explanation Sect, was killed by him. Lu Xia Tian also honestly and directly took the storage pouches of the three people. 。Besides giving Su Qing the two artifacts of the short-haired female cultivator, Lu Xia Tian naturally took the other four artifacts for himself, especially Dugu Han's incredibly sharp golden flying knife. 。Although this battle was dangerous, considering the abundant rewards, it was completely worthwhile. Not to mention the three storage bags, especially Dugu Han's one containing hundreds of various spirit grasses, spirit stones, and a large quantity of mid-grade and low-grade spirit stones. 。Inside the barrier, it's almost piled up like a small mountain. 。Of course, the most valuable thing is still the thirteen plants of ginseng in front of us. Not a single one has been picked by anyone. 。Lu Xia tian, in three or five moves, put all the purple ginseng into the jade box. 。Of course, he didn't intend to keep all the ginseng for himself. 。Su Qing did have some thoughts about the dozen or so purple ginseng that Lu Xiaoteng had collected, but the three cultivators from the Jin Chan Sect were all killed by Lu Xiaoteng. Now that Lu Xiaoteng had also given her two magic weapons, it was difficult for her to lower her proud head and ask Lu Xiaoteng for it. 。still aloofly turned her head, trying hard not to look at those purple bamboo. 。News of the ginseng near Cold Pond had probably spread long ago. After all, back then there were still quite a few disciples from the Xuan Bing Gate who were missing. 。I'm afraid that soon, many cultivators who have emerged from the predicament will come looking for us. Realizing this, Lu Xia Tian and the three of them quickly packed up and left, finding a mountain cave to rest temporarily. 。Firstly, Su Qing's two existing artifacts were completely destroyed and needed to be reforged. She had to start from scratch, using the silver sword and silver axe she snatched from a short-haired female cultivator of the Jin Chan Sect. 。Wu Yan is still unconscious. Fortunately, although her injuries are serious, she is not in immediate danger of death. 。And Lu Xia Tian immediately refined Dugu Han's golden sword, and then in the cave doing nothing, he successively refined the other several captured magic weapons. 。"Wu Yan, you're awake." 。Su Qing heard a whimper and unexpectedly came to Wu Yan's side. She stayed in the cave for more than ten days. At first, she repeatedly refined the two new artifacts she had obtained and had something to do, but after completely refining the artifacts, she felt a little bored. 。... besides venturing out of the cave to gather information and collect some wild fruits for sustenance,... 。In the cave, he sat like a wooden man. He slept and meditated all day. 。If it's not necessary, they wouldn't even say a word. 。She is so bored these days. 。Now Wu Yan finally woke up, and she was lucky to have someone to talk to. 。“You, Su, Senior Sister Su, and Brother Lu, are you all here Am I not dead What exactly happened Did Jindi's Dugu Han let us go” Wu Yan’s face was pale. Seeing Su Qing and Lu Xiaoteng meditating at a short distance from the cave entrance, she was instantly surprised. 。She remembered that before Jin Chan Jiao's short-haired female cultivator knocked her unconscious, Lu Xiaoteng had already fallen into danger and no one could save them. However, although she was injured now, the three of them were fine here, with no missing limbs. 。"It's impossible that the disciples of the Golden Light Sect would let us go," Su Qing sneered. 。"So, how did we escape Did some of our fellow disciples from the Immortal Palace come to save us" Wu Yan was even more curious. 。“I don't know what happened either. At the time, I was just trying to save you. When I came to my senses, the short-haired female cultivator had already been cut in the neck by Lu Xia Tian. And when I looked at Dugu Han, his head had a bloody hole in it, dead beyond repair.” 。Then Lu Xia Tian led us to this cave and practiced cultivation there until you woke up now. 。Su Qing looked at Lu Xiaitian, who was still sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the cave, with some annoyance. 。She also had a lot of questions, but Lu Xiaoteng didn't seem to want to say anything. She was too embarrassed to even ask for the purple ginseng, so she certainly wouldn't have the nerve to ask him about anything else. 。Although I try not to, I can't help but feel resentful towards Lu XiaTian. 。Wu Yan was taken aback. Seeing that Lu Xiaoteng didn't intend to speak, she smiled wryly, "It's not a firsthand experience, it's simply unbelievable." 。If someone else said this, I wouldn't believe it. But after fighting non-stop, Lu Shixiong has proven himself time and time again with incredible feats of skill. 。I never expected Senior Brother Lu to be this powerful, even someone as skilled as Dugu Han is no match for Senior Brother Lu. 。“If one has the ability, they should show it sooner rather than later. If we had known that Lu Xiaitian was this capable, we shouldn't have given so many Rejuvenation Fruits to Yuan Hao from Gujianzong.” 。Remembering the previous駐顏果, Su Qing still said somewhat indignantly: 。Lu Xiaoteng acted as if he hadn't heard Su Qing's words. He opened his eyes and reached into his storage pouch, pulling out six jade boxes. "There are six purple ginseng plants here, with varying years. I can give each of you three plants, but I have a condition" 。“Purple Loquat What conditions” Su Qing’s eyes lit up, she asked eagerly. 。Su Qing is doing well, after all, she has a grandfather at the Golden Core stage. He definitely has other ways to obtain the Qi Condensing Pill. However, if she could get it through her own abilities, it would be much better. 。"Whatever conditions, as long as I or my father can fulfill, I will definitely not disappoint Brother Lu's hope." 。Compared to Su Qing, Wu Yan's breathing seemed a bit more rapid. 。Although her storage bag already held a large quantity of herbs, and she could exchange them for one Foundation Establishment Pill, if she could get three Purple Ginsengs, she could exchange for at least two more. After collecting some more spiritual objects, roughly estimated, when she went out, she could have about four Foundation Establishment Pills. With her aptitude, establishing a foundation was almost guaranteed. 。“I'm a wandering cultivator. As soon as I entered the Qinglian Peak domain, I offended the Qi Refining cultivator Qian Dali. I hid from him for several years. This time, I luckily entered the Blood Forbidden Land.” 。After I leave, Qian Dali will definitely come after me. 。I need your help when the time comes. 。Lü Xiaoteng stated directly: 。"Qian Dali's reputation is indeed not very good. It was precisely because of his persecution that you hid in the Blackwater Village mine for over six years" Wu Yan suddenly remembered the commotion caused by Lu Xia Tian when he first emerged from the mine, and she said with a sudden realization. 。It can be said that... 。Lu Xiaoteng nodded. 。"You actually stayed in that sort of place, a dark and damp cave in Blackwater Village, for over six years" Su Qing couldn't help but gape. Growing up pampered, she wouldn't even consider going to such a place where the sun never reached and the air was thick with grime. 。Except for the slaves who were sent to the mines, she hadn't heard of any cultivator who could stay inside continuously for a year. 。But soon Su Qing realized that wasn't appropriate, and hurriedly changed her words, "Sorry, Lu, Senior Brother Lu, I didn't mean..." 。Money is not a good thing, Foundation Establishment cultivators are actually so shameless to bully an Qi Refining cultivator. 。Don't worry, when I get back, I'll definitely make grandpa give him a good scolding. 。Lu Xia Tian's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect Su Qing to have changed her address for him either. This was somewhat unexpected. 。"With Senior Sister Su stepping forward, Qian Dali probably won't have any other ideas on the surface." 。However, my father once mentioned that Qian Dali's intentions were rather deep, and he probably would make some underhanded moves in private. If Lu Senior Brother encounters any inconvenience later on, feel free to contact my father anytime. 。"Wu Yan added, her eyes fixed on the jade box in Lu Xia Tian's hand. " 。"Alright then, I shall take my leave of the two junior sisters." 。Since Su Qing had changed her address to him, he was too lazy to be pretentious about it. He used his magic to levitate the three jade boxes and sent them to Su Qing and Wu Yan respectively. 。"Before, you never spoke up, I thought you were going to hog all these ginseng. Didn't expect Master Lu to be so generous." 。"Wu Yan was overjoyed as she carefully lifted the jade box brimming with purple ginseng. Su Qing also beamed, thrilled by the revelation. She hadn't expected Lu Xia Tian to have such a story. Being targeted by a Qi Refining cultivator at Lingxiao Palace was definitely unfortunate, but judging from Wu Yan's tone, it seemed they were already acquainted." 。"Just take what you need and leave." 。Lu Xia Tian said softly, then continued to meditate with his eyes closed. 。Besides repeatedly cultivating the Xuan Yuan Sutra and refining the purity of his mana, he checked the storage bags of people like Dugu Han, obtaining a large amount of spirit herbs. From entering the Blood Forbidden Zone to now, he had killed as many as nine elite disciples from various factions, not counting some ordinary disciples. 。With so many artifacts on the three of Dugu Han, they must have killed elite disciples from other sects. 。This way of calculating it, he's at least collected dozens of storage pouches from elite disciples. 。Not only has he gathered all the herbs needed for the Huitian Pill, but also all the herbs required for the Zhuji Pill. 。...just some of the years are not yet complete... 。Cultivating this spiritual herb to a sufficient age and nurturing dozens of spiritual creatures from it still requires a great deal of effort. 。If the current environment wasn't prohibitive, powerful enemies could appear at any time. Moreover, he lacked a suitable pill furnace and spiritual fire for refining foundation-building pills, so he wished he could start refining them right away. 。Of course, the current conditions do not allow it, he can only prepare enough, after returning to Lingxiao Palace, he can immediately begin refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. 。Su Qing had been listless for many days. After Wu Yan woke up, she finally had someone to talk to. Wu Yan didn't expect that not only could she get her life back, but she also got a few plants of Zi Luo ginseng. She was overjoyed. The two chatted excitedly for a while, but most of the conversation was about Lu Xia Tian. They talked about how intense Lu Xia Tian's battle had been, how he had his three magic weapons destroyed by Dugu Han one after another, and they wondered how he had managed to turn things around in the end. They also wondered where Lu Xia Tian got so many magic weapons. 。Although the two of them spoke in low voices, in the cave, with Lu XiaTian's hearing, even if he didn't listen carefully, he could hear clearly. 。Especially hearing Su Qing's complaints in private, she should have grabbed one or two more anti-aging fruits back then. 。Lu Xia Tian couldn't help but wryly smile. He did have several magic treasures on him, but they were all snatched from other cultivators of different sects. 。If it's too ostentatious, I'm afraid it will be seen by the disciples of other sects very soon. Although cultivators have many people with cold hearts... 。But there are also many cultivators who grew up together since childhood. If they were discovered by others, what if they attracted powerful enemies by being too blatant How would they protect themselves then If he hadn't been so careful, he would probably have been dead long ago. It's true that the children of wealthy families can afford to speak without a care in the world. 。After spending several more days, Lu Xia Tian sorted the cultivated Huitian Dan and Zhidan herbs needed for the Qi Refining Pill within the barrier, putting each kind into separate piles. 。Convenient for later use when refining. 。As his divine consciousness stirred, Lu Xiaoteng's primordial spirit regained control of his body. When he opened his eyes, he found a sprig of nourishing soul grass in his hand. 。

Then, he took the crucible and charcoal out separately.

Wu Yan's injuries have been recovering very quickly these days. Besides recuperating, she doesn't have much else to do. On the other hand, her relationship with Su Qing has become increasingly close. 。“I see Lu Xiaitian take out a pill furnace, I can't help but be surprised. At this age, Lu Xiaitian has such amazing cultivation and combat power, which is beyond everyone's expectations. Su Qing couldn't help but marvel, “You can still refine pills”

“I know some, you two protect me, there are some things I don’t want to disturb you.” 。Lu XiaTian didn't deny it, he directly picked up the alchemy furnace and walked to a spot near the back of the cave before sitting down. 。"Good, we will definitely not let outside interference disturb Senior Brother Lu." 。Wu Yan nodded. At this time, most of her injuries had healed, and she was already able to fight. With her and Su Qing guarding the narrow entrance of the mountain cave, no one could get in. 。Unless there is someone like Dugu Han or Yuan Hao, who are masters of extraordinary skill. 。If this happened before, these two would have some anxiety in their hearts. However, Duguhua is already dead at the hands of Lu Xiaottian. In both of their minds, Lu Xiaottian also gained Duguhua’s golden knife weapon, and he’s probably even stronger than the two of them. 。With Lu Xia Tian sitting in the back, what's there to be afraid of 。Su Qing glanced sideways and found that Lu Xiaottian had already sat down. Without saying a word, he began to ignite the charcoal and then threw a sprig of spirit grass into the alchemy furnace. 。 Xia Tian looked humble and respectful, but secretly he was sizing up the lion-headed dragon-bodied behemoth in front of him. He felt that the opponent's aura was similar to the dragon shadow imprint...
