Chapter 172: Seven Star Array

re it out. It turned out that it all had to do with this black liquid.The second grey stone contained the teleportation technique. Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a strong interest in the third gre..."You're indeed interested in the Seven Star Formation on you. As for the Weaving God Pill, I naturally don't have it, and I don't have that many spirit stones either." Lu Xia Tian said.

“Since none of these are here, what are you still following me for” The bald old man showed anger on his face. Originally, he was already extremely disappointed, but he didn't expect Lu Xiaottian to follow him all the way, which rekindled a glimmer of hope in his desperate heart. Unexpectedly, this guy dared to make fun of him. If it weren't for the fact that they were inside望月城 and fighting was prohibited, he would have wanted to teach this ignorant kid a lesson.

"I don't have the Zhishin Dan, but I might be able to get my hands on some Yang Hun Dan in the next few days. Would that do" Lu Xiaodao said.

“Soul Nourishing Pills Of course, it’s better. Can it be done in two days” The bald old man said excitedly. Soul Nourishing Pills are no worse than Weaving God Pills, and even surpass them. Having Soul Nourishing Pills is naturally better.

"Two days I can't guarantee that. If you need it so urgently, is there something you're not telling me"

“To be frank, my son encountered a formidable enemy. He used the secret art of the Seven Star Array twice in a row, severely damaging his divine sense. He is now on the brink of death, barely clinging to life with his last breath. Within two days, he might still be able to maintain his existence, but after that, there's a risk of him perishing.” The bald elder's expression darkened. “If it wasn't for this dire situation, I wouldn't have been willing to sell the Seven Star Array, which I spent my entire life refining.”

"I see. I can only try my best to get the Soul-Nurturing Pill in a short time. Where do you live I'll come find you as soon as I get the medicine."

Lu Xia Tian asked, "Raising Soul Pills are also quite difficult to refine. It takes the skill level of an intermediate alchemist to refine them. His current level is still a step away from an intermediate alchemist. Two days is indeed a big challenge for him."

The bald old man said the address, and Lu Xia Tian hurried away. Once this bald old man's son died, there would naturally be no need to sell the Seven Stars Array anymore; he had to race against time.

After a day and a half, Lu Xia Tian stood in front of an independent courtyard with an unbridled sense of joy. This wasn't just because of his good fortune in successfully refining the Soul Nourishing Pill, but also because his alchemy skills had improved again, giving him more security in his future cultivation on medicinal pills.

"It's you! Come in quickly!" The bald old man's face lit up with joy when he saw Lu Xiaoteng.

"But fellow Daoist, have you already obtained the Soul Nurturing Pill" The bald old man rubbed his hands together, his anxious feelings evident.

“Father, has the elixir run out” At this time, a beautiful woman in a Luo skirt walked out of a room in the courtyard, with tears still on her face. Beside the woman was a boy about ten years old.

“I’ve got it, but the amount of spirit stones you requested is indeed a bit much.” Lu Xia Tian nodded and then said.

"To be honest with you, my son is now at death's door. As long as I can save his life, I will be eternally grateful. I wouldn't ask for anything more. Even if it means exchanging a single Soul Nourishing Pill, I would agree." The bald old man said with a wry smile. The woman in the robe shared the same expression.

"I'm not one to take advantage of people in trouble. Here are two Nourishing Soul Pills, and I'll give you one Foundation Building Pill as well. The overall value is about the same, so we're even." Lu Xiao shook his head. He would take a fair bargain when offered, but he wouldn't exploit someone in need unless they had wronged him before.

"My gratitude knows no bounds, fellow cultivator. If you ever need help in the future, just say the word and I will go through fire and water without hesitation!" The bald old man was so excited that his lips were trembling. In the cultivation world, he had seen too many people who betrayed their comrades in times of crisis. When it came to his son's life, he would even accept being killed if he had to.

To his surprise, he was incredibly lucky. His son was gravely injured at the moment, and one Soul Nourishing Pill might be able to save his life, but it wouldn't necessarily restore him to his former self. Two pills, however, would undoubtedly ensure a full recovery. There was also an elusive Foundation Establishment Pill – if converted into spirit stones, Lu Xia Tian might come out slightly ahead. But for the bald old man and his family, this was already the best possible outcome.

The young woman in a Luo skirt wanted to lead the boy to kowtow and thank Lu Xia Tian, but he stopped them.

The bald old man let his daughter-in-law give the medicine, Yáng Hún Dān, to his son lying on the bed. The original pale face of the man, who looked like a corpse, noticeably regained some color, and the thin wisp of breath also started to strengthen and stabilize.

After Lu Xiaitian received the Qixing Formation's array disc, the bald old man carefully explained some tips for using the Qixing Formation and even gave him a book. Lu Xiaitian couldn't help but think that if he hadn't given the bald old man two more pills, this old man probably wouldn't have explained the secrets of the Qixing Formation in such detail.

Having successfully used the Seven Star Formation, Lu Xia Tian realized it came at a steep price. He vowed to only use it in dire situations where his life was on the line. After bidding farewell to the bald old man, he returned home and spent the next ten days diligently refining pills like the Yuanyuan Dan and Yuhun Dan. The remaining time was dedicated to studying the Seven Star Formation. Nearly a month passed, and he had become quite proficient in its use.

"As expected of the most notorious formation among the Fourth Rank Killing Arrays." After a long while, Lu XiaTian rested his chin and said, "For others, the price is particularly high, but for him, it's within an acceptable range. It's a mysterious art that can be cultivated again after entering the Qi Refinement period. If he continues to split out a second deputy Yuanshen, using the Seven Star Array will be even more convenient."

Lu Xia Tian put away the scroll of the Seven Stars Array, and a transmission talisman flew in from outside the courtyard.

“Lu, Junior Brother, I’m Xun, Senior Brother. I have some things to attend to now and fear I can’t accompany you all on this training expedition. You few handle it yourselves. This task of venturing out from the mountain for training has long since been decided – wherever you go in the mortal realm, it will be a form of training. I’ve already informed Tian, Junior Sister, and Song, Junior Brother, so do your best. In three years, return to the Immortal Palace and register.” Xun Xiu's voice sounded very good within the transmission talisman.

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Lu Xia Tian remembered that Xun Xiu, Tian Jing, and Song Hu had also traded some spiritual objects after the auction. It seemed they were busy with their cultivation.

Shortly after, Lu Xiao received sound transmission talismans from Tian Jing and Song Hu respectively, each with their own matters to attend to.

It seems I'll have to go alone. Lu Xia Tian touched his chin. He didn't necessarily have to personally visit the designated secular countries for this training mission, but he had to go to Beiliang Country, his hometown, and Yue Country.

Having tidied up his belongings, Lu Xia tian left Wang Yue City and headed back the way he came. Compared to before when he was just a cultivator at the initial stage of Qi refinement, Lu Xia tian could now fly with his sword, his speed more than a hundred times faster.

A biting gale whistled past his ears, carrying the force of hundreds of miles in each gust. Behind him, a strange ripple of spiritual energy echoed through the air. Lu Xia Tian's brow furrowed; he sensed someone was following close behind, moving with remarkable speed.

Looking at the vast river churning beneath his feet, Lu Xia Tian's mouth twitched into a smile. He hadn't expected the Rongshuizhu to be so useful so soon.

Who was following him Lu Xia Tian had wanted to just leave, but after a moment's thought, he decided it was best to figure out who was keeping tabs on him. Of course, this was also possible now that he had some self-defense capabilities.

qian Dali Or Yuan Hao Yuan Hao should not have reached the foundation-building stage yet. He still needs some time to cultivate to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining. As Lu Xiaotian's mind flipped through all the people he had offended, a youth with a gloomy face had already flown over on his sword.

“Well, not running away anymore” The gloomy youth sneered and looked at Lu Xiaodao.

“I wonder why you have been following me all the way from望月城” Lu Xia Tian looked at the other person and asked.

“It’s all for revenge against those brothers of mine who are dead.” The gloomy youth grinned coldly.

“Dead brother” Lu Xia Tian pondered for a moment. It should be someone he had killed in the Blood Forbidden Land. In that kind of place where people ate people, if he didn't kill others, others would kill him.

“How about it, can’t remember The ancient sword sect, on the teleportation array, the elite disciple of the ancient sword sect who died in your hands, Meng Hao.” The gloomy young man was filled with murderous intent. “Fate is cyclical, retribution is inevitable, next year this day will be your funeral day.”

"Are you sure you can handle me"

"You think you can kill my brother in the Blood Moon Forbidden Zone and get away with it I, Lu Xiaoxiao, have already sent people to Lingxiao Palace to inquire about your reputation. You're just an ordinary disciple, relying on a few magic artifacts to cause trouble... "

This person's chatter is quite a lot. Since finding him for revenge, what use is all this talking It's not good, it's a delaying tactic. Lu Xiaoteng's expression changed slightly.

"So, you're just reacting now Seems like you aren't much." The gloomy young man saw the slight change in Lu Xia tian's face and knew the other party had noticed something. However, at this moment, a wave of magical power came from the horizon, his fellow disciples were coming soon.

“You have accomplices, but I’m not unprepared. Watch this.” If Lu Xia Tian didn't already have an escape route, he wouldn't wait for the other party on this unfamiliar riverbank. Lu Xia Tian sneered and reached out, shooting dozens of Luo Yan fruit at the gloomy young man.

>

The gloomy youth let out a cold snort, his long sword flashing as he unleashed a wave of sword energy that shattered the dozens of dark, spherical objects. A thick cloud of black smoke billowed from the wreckage. These so-called weapons were nothing but Luo Yan fruit, truly cunning. On this open terrain, Luo Yan fruit couldn't even hold back a Qi refining cultivator for a moment, let alone a Foundation Establishment cultivator. With a simple wave of his hand, he unleashed a gust of wind that blew the black mist towards the surging river. The smoke dissipated, and the stern-faced Lu Xiaoteng had already charged towards the nearest grove of trees.

“Want to leave Dream on!” The gloomy youth snorted coldly, but seeing the other party’s escape speed was not fast, the gloomy youth didn’t use much effort and chased after them. Catching up so easily, could there be a trick Such thoughts flashed in the gloomy youth’s mind, but his fellow disciple had already arrived behind him. Regardless of whether there was a trick or not, they were both just cultivators who had recently entered the Foundation Establishment period. Could the opponent possibly defeat two of them alone The long sword in the gloomy youth’s hand flew out into the air, aiming straight for Lu Xiaoteng’s back. In an instant, the long sword pierced through his body, but this cold-faced Lu Xiaoteng was also shattered, leaving no trace of blood at the spot.

"Brother Meng Kuan, what's going on" At this time, a short young man had already rushed over.

"That kid tricked me into letting him escape. Just a moment ago, the surroundings were wide open. Even if he used the Earth Escape Technique, he couldn't have gotten far. And the chakra fluctuations of the Earth Escape Technique are impossible to hide from me." Meng Kuan said with a grim expression.

“This place is so open, besides this small grove of trees, there’s nowhere for the other party to hide. They're most likely escaped into the river.” The short young man, Lü Quán, turned to look at the wide river surface that was nearly a hundred zhang wide and flowed ceaselessly.

"There are also monsters in the river. Even a water-attributed cultivator couldn't escape such a short distance in the river. Let's split up and chase after them." Meng Kuan reacted immediately and made a decisive decision at this time.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

“This Water Condensing Pearl is truly incredibly useful in water.” At this time, Lu Xia Tian in the water had no hindrance whatsoever, feeling just like he was on land. The Water Condensing Pearl transformed him into a black water demon’s appearance, and his speed moving through the water was not inferior to flying with his sword in the air. By the time Meng Kuan and Lü Quan reacted and started chasing after him separately, he had already escaped a considerable distance.

Whirrr....

In such a vast river, there were quite a number of demonic beasts. Meng Kuan killed several low-level demonic beasts in the river one after another, but only some ordinary water-type demonic beasts floated up.

Having lost his target, Meng Kuan angrily swung his sword at the rushing river several times, sending up large splashes of water.

On the great river, a passenger boat carrying dozens of people was heading towards the opposite bank. But as soon as it reached the middle of the river, a huge whirlpool appeared under the boat, followed by a gigantic shadow.

"Wow, what a big octopus!" A little girl of five or six exclaimed in amazement as a giant octopus, bigger than the passenger ship itself, appeared beneath the bow.

"Nannan, come back!" A young woman with a pale face cried out and rushed to the bow of the ship.

With a splash, the giant octopus tentacles had already wrapped around the little girl.

“Ah, the octopus demon!” Dozens of people on the entire ship saw such a giant octopus tentacle and exclaimed in horror.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Mommy, Mommy!" The little girl, caught in the whirlwind, was so frightened that she had even forgotten to be afraid.

The other tentacles of the octopus monster had already wrapped around the entire passenger ship. The medium-sized passenger ship, under the sway of the octopus monster, was like a flat boat in a raging sea, ready to capsize at any moment.

"Nanny!" the young woman cried out in anguish as her daughter was swept into the giant octopus's maw.

The octopus demon chuckled triumphantly, but the unpleasant sound had barely left his lips when a sharp blade of energy shot up from the riverbed, almost without resistance.

With a whoosh, a blade sliced through the water, sending up a spray of droplets. The passenger ship, which had been lifted by the force of the current and was about to be pulled underwater, was suddenly held aloft by a gentle power.

The passengers on the ship were still shaken, none of them fully comprehending what had transpired. In the river already floated two carcasses of octopus monsters, each twice the size of the passenger vessel itself.

Wow, a young man in green clothes emerged from the river bottom with a golden sword under his feet. With a gentle flick of his left hand, he sent the shaken little girl back to the passenger ship. The only creature nearby was this octopus monster. Lu Xiaitian, who broke through the water, directly controlled his sword to break through the air and leave.

“The Immortal, it was the Immortal who saved our lives!” On the boat, dozens of people crossing the river exclaimed in amazement and knelt down on the deck in gratitude. A young woman tightly hugged her daughter, afraid of losing her again.l powerhouses can function as spearheads, relentlessly searching for enemy weaknesses and exploiting them to tear them apart."In my current state, I can only barely help Brother Du restrain that Purpl...
