Chapter 233: Two Years of Seclusion

he entrance to the Dark River has been blocked by him in advance. We only have one place to go, but that place is extremely dangerous.”Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!"Where is...(I will try to update twice a day as much as possible. If there's only one update, it might be slightly shorter, but two updates together will be more than before. Before, I updated four thousand words a day, now I aim for five thousand to six thousand, depending on how much I code that day.)

I've increased the volume, and I'm also shamelessly asking book friends for subscriptions, collections, and recommendations. Thank you! 。After returning to Qingyue Peak, Lu Xiaoteng received visits from several old friends in the first few days. Many people also came to challenge him, including young disciples from other sects friendly with Lingxiao Palace. They all wanted to fight Lu Xiaoteng and defeat him, hoping to become famous in the cultivation world through this victory. 。...What surprised these people was that Lu Xia Tian didn't even compete in a single match and directly closed his mountain gate to cultivate in seclusion. ... 。Once this period of seclusion is over, it seems like there will be no coming out. 。Many Foundation Establishment cultivators were furious about this, after all, the Lingxiao Palace prohibited private fights. Lu Xia Tian didn't accept any challenges and directly went into seclusion. There was nothing those who wanted to challenge him could do. 。One month, two months. At first, the onlookers grew in number, and some of them, impatient and arrogant, began to shout insults. 。It sounded quite unpleasant, but at this point, Lu Xia Tian was already inside his cave dwelling, shielding himself from all outside noise. The people he had brought with him gradually lost their patience. 。One by one, they began to leave. Lü Xia Tian's Qingyue Peak once again became quiet. 。Of course, Lu Xiaoteng didn't know about all these things that happened. During his closed-door training, besides using Chi Zhu Dan and Han Feng Dan to improve his cultivation, Lu Xiaoteng spent most of his time refining pills and honing his alchemy skills. 。And further, it had been repeatedly refined with the earth-splitting knife imbued with the golden core's essence until it became as if an extension of his own arm. 。Apart from these, he is also proficient in the use of Qingfeng sails and the art of puppetry. 。After all, he now has two puppets whose strength is equivalent to the peak of the sixth rank. Their defenses are extremely strong, and with his divine sense intensity, he can control the battle for a considerable amount of time. 。As for the other martial arts techniques, Lu Xia Tian hadn't spent too much time exploring them, fearing that he would be biting off more than he could chew. 。And at this time, his methods were already numerous enough. As for his cultivation in physical training, since he left the Hun Yuan Dao Zang, it had not improved any further, seemingly entering a bottleneck state and unable to find a breakthrough for the time being. 。Time flew by quickly during his cultivation. Two years later, after countless times of closing his eyes and meditating, Lu Xiaitian's eyes suddenly opened, with a bright light flashing in them. 。A powerful aura of magical energy surrounded his body. 。After a surge of inner energy, it began to subside. The energy within the meridians became more substantial. 。Two years, from the fifth to the sixth level of foundation building. 。At this speed, even a genius like Yuan Hao would probably feel inferior. 。However, besides the surging magical aura during breakthroughs, a mysterious aura lingered around Lu Xia Tian's body, obscuring the fluctuations of his magical energy. 。Had it not been for Qian Dali's provocation, Lu Xia Tian would not have intentionally revealed a portion of his abilities. 。Under the veil of his concealment technique, unless he deliberately revealed his strength, with the increasing mastery of his technique, even an average Golden Core cultivator might not be able to easily perceive his true cultivation level. 。"Fortunately, there is the technique of concealing one's cultivation, otherwise with such a significant advancement in cultivation, I'm afraid it would cause some people to become suspicious and apprehensive." 。Lu Xia Tian couldn't help but sigh, "Things that are unusual must have demons. Qian Dali originally schemed against him because he thought there was a treasure on him that could enhance his cultivation and speed up his progress." 。Although he has reached the Foundation Establishment stage and possesses a certain level of self-preservation ability, there are still many who pose a threat to him. Even with his current strength, for a Golden Core cultivator, it would be a mere blink of an eye to eliminate him, requiring little effort. 。The path of cultivation is perilous, and a slight misstep can lead one into the eyes of those with malicious intent. It's truly remarkable that someone with mediocre talent could raise their cultivation level by one in just two years. Even Golden Core cultivators would be deeply tempted upon learning of such a feat. 。After all, most cultivators at the Golden Core stage also have offspring. 。

Counting carefully, it has only been about ten years since he entered the Foundation Establishment stage, and he has already cultivated to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. At this rate, even if it takes a while to break through from the middle stage to the later stage, or for the cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment to improve their cultivation, it is estimated that in another ten years, he will be able to cultivate to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. He still has plenty of time to work towards forming alchemy.

Chizhudan is really useful, at least it saved him decades of ascetic practice. This trip to the Hun Yuan Dao Zang was truly fruitful.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoti's heart was excited. 。Two years of time, not only is the improvement in cultivation, these years he has been outside wandering, several times life and death crisis, always in danger and calculation, did not have time to properly settle down, with these two years of closed-door training, although did not learn other means, but the previous ones were integrated, Lu Xiaottian's strength improved faster than before. 。After breaking through to the sixth level of foundation building, continuing to retreat seemed to have no further effect. Lu Xia Tian pondered for a moment and ended his two-year seclusion. 。As soon as she came out, He Liping gave Lu Xiaoteng a large number of red envelopes, and a large number of battle tactics. 。"Master Su and Master Wu, as well as several other senior figures familiar to you, have all instructed this junior that after they emerge from their seclusion, we should go visit them." 。"He Liping respectfully bowed to Lu Xiaodao. Over the past two years, although those who challenged him had worn down their patience and piled up baskets of war scrolls sent to Qingyue Peak, after personally witnessing Lu Xiaodao defeat Qian Dali with a single move, and also seeing that Kun Tianxing, who had cultivated for many years, was defeated by him, He Liping naturally understood that Lu Xiaodao was not afraid of battle, but simply unwilling to waste time on such meaningless disputes." 。Before my eyes, Lu Xia Tian is a true ascetic. 。A streak of azure light flashed across the sky. Lu Xia Tian reached out his hand and, with a grasp, took the sound transmission talisman that had broken through the air. 。Come to Linghong Peak quickly, Su Hongtao! It's normal for someone to send him a sound transmission note, but as a Jindan cultivator, Su Hongtao had no dealings with him, and their status was worlds apart. 。Never mind him, let's go take a look first and then talk. 。Lu Xiaotian directly took out the black flying sword and shot it toward Su Hongtao's cave dwelling. 。The aura of the Dan Yuan Artifact is too strong; once it is taken out, it would probably startle many people. Unless it's a necessary battle situation, Lu Xia Tian naturally wouldn't casually take it out to show off. 。Soon, Su Hongtao's cave dwelling was within sight. 。At this time, a graceful and pretty woman kept glancing over here. When she saw Lu Xiaoteng's figure, her eyes lit up with delight. 。"Lu Shixiong, you're finally here!" 。Su Qing was enthusiastic and genuine. 。"Su Shimei 。Lu Xiaitian greeted Su Qing and then respectfully bowed to Su Hongtao. 。“I wonder what Master Su wants to see me for”“According to Qing’er, she speaks highly of you in every way, and she says that you have saved her from danger several times. I really should thank you properly. However, when you returned to Lingxiao Palace, you immediately went into seclusion, so we didn't have a chance to meet. It's really not easy to see you.” 。"Su Hongtao didn't say anything directly, but instead made a teasing remark." 。the flesh of monks. As they returned to the nest, their auras grew stronger, and even more Void Devourer Ants emerged from within the hive, bolstering the already formidable ant colony.Apart from this...
