erged over these tens of thousands of years" 。You guys can't break through on your own, and you still want to drag me down. 。After I break through, your days of darkness will be over. 。Nor do they co...As Lu Xia Tian put the last herb into the alchemy furnace, he watched the flames beneath change, occasionally adding a piece or two of charcoal.

When the pill was ready, Lu Xia Tian's face lit up with joy. After smelling the alluring fragrance from the alchemy furnace, he opportunely opened it. Inside, there were two plump blue pills. 。"Huitian Dan", it's considered done, Lu Xia Tian's eyes flashed a hint of joy. 。The seal outside shifted. 。"Is Lu Daoyou here I am Lü Feng, and I have been sent by the master to invite Lu Daoyou to come for a visit." 。A respectful voice could be heard from outside. 。Lu Xia Tian waved his hand, taking back the two Huitian Dans into the pill bottle. During this time, he followed a large number of cultivators led by the three cultivating families, Hu, Lu, and Yan, heading towards Yuecheng. Perhaps it was because there were many people and they felt safe, or perhaps for other reasons, they walked and stopped along the way, seemingly not in a hurry to reach Yuecheng. 。Led by three major cultivation families, it also gathered many freelance cultivators. 。

Out of precaution, both family cultivators and independent cultivators need to take on certain protective tasks. Lu Xiaotian didn't want to waste time on these, so he appeared as a high-level alchemist. Because he practiced the breath concealment technique, he suppressed his cultivation to the late stage of Qi refining, and no one could see through his true cultivation.

As a highly skilled alchemist in the eyes of others, he naturally didn't need to do odd jobs like ordinary cultivators, setting up camp or patrolling. 。Just need to be responsible for refining certain pills. 。Lu Xia Tian didn't mind the team's stop-and-go journey. In fact, after several battles, especially those against cultivators from other realms, and his fight with Xun Xiu, particularly after using the Dan Yuan magic artifact, he increasingly felt that his mana was insufficient. Using the Dan Yuan magic artifact for a long time with his current cultivation base was simply unsustainable. 。Even if he has all the means, without magical power to support him, he becomes a well without water. 。Therefore, Lu Xia Tian felt more and more the importance of Huitian Dan. 。The team had been on the move for over two months, he only occasionally refined some medicinal pills and healing medicines for several immortal families. Most of the time, he practiced cultivation himself, refining medicine, and completely refining the Chiyan Lihuo sword. The Fire Jiao bow and arrow were also preliminarily refined, and could be used in battle. 。At the same time, Lu Xia Tian also tried to refine Huitian Dan. Perhaps because his alchemy skills were not yet proficient enough, or perhaps because Huitian Dan was difficult to refine, after nearly two months of continuous attempts, he only managed to refine this furnace, which was just a low-grade Huitian Dan. He didn't know how much mana it could actually restore in actual combat. 。Perhaps after that ethereal state, his good luck had run out. However, regardless of the reason, being able to refine the Returning Heaven Pill also marked him as officially entering the ranks of mid-level alchemists. 。If he returned to Lingxiao Palace in this capacity, his status would not be lower than that of a Jindan cultivator in Lingxiao Palace. 。Of course, if his true alchemy level were exposed, it would probably be closely guarded by the Lingxiao Palace. Naturally, Lu Xia Tian wouldn't accept that. 。"Lu Dao-you" The voice outside sounded again. 。"Here it comes " 。Lu Xia Tian responded with a sound, put away the pill furnace, and walked to the door. Two middle-aged men at the peak of the Qi Refining stage were waiting outside with smiles on their faces. Even though Lu Xia Tian's displayed cultivation was slightly lower than theirs, at such a young age he already possessed this level of cultivation. Moreover, he was an extremely accomplished senior alchemist. In the eyes of those foundation-building seniors, Lu Xia Tian's weight was much greater than that of them, Qi Refining stage cultivators. 。"Lu Dao-you, at the behest of Master Lü, I come to invite you." 。“When Lu Xiaitian came out, a man with a slightly rounded face in front politely said:” 。Let's go. 。Lu Xiaitian nodded. The smooth-talking man’s eyes flickered, as if he also had other plans in mind. However, since the other party didn't say anything, he was too lazy to ask. Who knows, maybe the other party would take the initiative to speak up later. 。"Daoist Lu, you often come into contact with the big shots above. Have you ever known why this troop has been stationed here for ten days" Indeed, seeing that Lu Xia Tian remained silent, the slick middle-aged man couldn't hold back and took the initiative to ask. 。"What kind of people are those patriarchs They're elders in the later stage of Foundation Establishment, and I rarely even see them. Usually, other people receive me." 。As for why it stopped, I naturally don't know. 。Lu Xia Tian shook his head. 。"I've heard some things myself, I wonder if Daoist Lu would be interested" the smooth-faced middle-aged man asked cryptically. 。"Now, tell me. What could possibly interest a fellow cultivator so deeply " 。"If we tell Lu Dao-you this news, Lu Dao-you has to agree to help us each refine a furnace of Huíyuán Dān." 。"The middle-aged Lü Hui, who had been silent beside him all along, seemed rather serious," 。"That depends on whether the news you say is valuable or not. If it's useless information, I naturally wouldn't bother refining pills." 。"Lu Xia Tian shrugged," 。It's certainly valuable, even crucial for those at the Qi Foundation stage. 。There may also be information about methods for helping foundation-building cultivators form golden pills. 。After looking at each other, Lü Feng and Lü Hui made a decision and revealed a bombshell to Lu Xia Tian. 。"Regarding foundation building and forming golden pills, are you two joking" 。“Lu Xia Tian looked doubtful. He hadn’t heard anything about such important news before, and most of the other cultivators were also clueless.” 。"Of course not, we don't have the time to joke about this kind of thing. The matter of forming a Golden Core is far too distant for us two brothers. But concerning the Foundation Establishment Pill, we are both middle-aged now. If we can't obtain it within the next two or three years, we might not live past a hundred years." 。It's always worth a try. 。"Lu Daoyou, have you ever heard of the Hun Yuan Dao Zang" Lu Feng lowered his voice and said. 。“Hun Yuan Dao Zang” Lu Xiaotian’s eyes narrowed. He was still cultivating the Hun Yuan Jing, and over the past few years, he had been secretly looking for anything related to it. But ever since he killed those cultivators who wanted to take his goods in Chi Feng Town, the only clues he had were a map he couldn’t quite understand and the few black scales from the hunchbacked old man. 。At this moment, the frail old man's strength was simply too great for him. Cooperating with Xun Xiu was akin to scheming with a tiger, and Xun Xiu now only wanted to eliminate him, having no desire to cooperate at all. 。"What is the Hun Yuan Dao Zang I've traveled all over the world and spent quite some time in the scattered cultivator world, but I've never heard of such a treasure trove." 。Although Lu Xia Tian was shocked in his heart, he pretended to be relaxed on his face and said: 。It is said that this was left behind by a fellow named Hun Yuandao Ren. This Hun Yuandao Ren was a quite powerful Jindan Stage cultivator, and for some reason, he fell in the end... 。These things, we brothers have no say in. However, over a decade ago, when our cultivation was still low, we once saw several groups of cultivators enter a secret place from afar. At the time, they seemed to possess a black key that could unlock the seal of the Hun Yuan Dao Zang. This group of cultivators numbered in the dozens, but after coming out, only a dozen remained, and many had injuries on their bodies. 。I don't know how these people are harvesting inside. 。My brother and I were also of low cultivation, so we didn't dare get too close. We only knew that the dozen or so people who came out fought amongst themselves. Later, some other cultivators joined in the fray. I saw one man with a key on his person injured and fleeing. He was being pursued relentlessly until he ran out of options and escaped into the Tidal Cave at Heavenly Lake. 。This Lake of the Heavens is vast and boundless, connected to the sea. Demonic beasts roam freely within its depths. Even cultivators at the Golden Core stage dare not venture too deep. 。The tidal cave of Tongtian Lake only appears when the tide falls. Once the water level rises again, the lake will refill, and even a Golden Core cultivator might not be able to escape it. 。But counting time, the Tongtian Lake's tidal wave happens once every ten years or so, and it should be coming in a few months. 。Among these several families, it is very likely that they came because of that key. 。If one obtains the key, one can open the gate to the Mixed Yuan Dao Zang. 。Several people walked and talked, Lu Xiaoteng seemed to be listening intently, but in his heart he was smiling. Listening to the two's story, they actually walked to a rather secluded place. Where were Lü Feng and Lü Hui taking him To the head of the Lü family No, under the pretext of the head of the Lü family, they were simply inviting him out. 。Since the key to the tide cave was coveted by the three major families, or even one of them, it was obvious that it had become the target of foundation-building cultivators. Even if they opened the Xuan Yuan Dao Zang, there would be no share for us Qi refining cultivators. 。They brought me here, but it won't be of much help to you. 。Lu Xia Tian looked at the two people with great interest. 。"Several major families and those Nascent Soul cultivators are all going for the treasures within the Daoist Library, and perhaps even a possibility of finding Golden Pills. These are things my two brothers dare not even dream about." 。But elixirs that help build the foundation, or spirit creatures, we can still blend in with. 。Any opportunity should not be missed. 。According to the conversation our two brothers overheard, the Hun Yuan Dao Zang should be divided into several layers. As long as a Qi Refining cultivator goes to a higher layer, we, as Lü family cultivators, can also get a share from the outer perimeter or lower levels. 。"Lü Feng smiled faintly and said, "Since Daoist Lu has discovered that our two brothers invited you here is not really the patriarch's order, I believe you should also weigh it carefully. If you disagree, perhaps our friendship will end here." 。Although Lü Feng said it politely, in reality, both he and Lü Hui had already pinned him down, one in front of the other. 。If Lu Xia Tian refuses, the two of them will only have to resort to killing him. 。"Aren't you worried that I promise verbally now, and then go back on my word to tell Master Lü" Lu Xia Tian asked. 。"Lu Daoist is a smart person, even if Lu Daoist told the Patriarch, what effect could it have He might even be worried that things would leak out and kill him to silence him. The best outcome would be to simply put him under house arrest." 。Now that several core cultivators from prominent families have already gotten involved, if Lu Daoist still has aspirations for foundation establishment, he naturally knows that the more widely this matter is spread, the worse it will be for him. 。Lyu Hui narrowed her eyes and stared intently at Lu Xiaodao. 。Of course, Daoist Lu can cooperate with our two brothers. After entering the treasure land, we will be your most reliable allies. 。"Laying the foundation is naturally something that every Qi Refining cultivator dreams of " 。However, I also have a condition. 。“What conditions” “To prevent you from playing tricks, I can only give you the Huìyuán Dān before entering the Hunyuán Dào Zàng.” 。Lu Xiaodao 。"Daoist Lu, are you so confident that you can refine the Huí Yuán Dān" Lü Fēng and the other person exchanged glances before smiling with delight. The Huí Yuán Dān, for a cultivator who has reached the peak of the Qi Refinement stage, after taking a single pill, their mana could be fully restored within half a incense stick's time. A newly promoted high-ranking alchemist might not have a high success rate." 。They entrusted it to the alchemists within their family, but they were uneasy. They worried that it would attract unwanted attention and that once others learned about the Huíyuandan (Return-to-Origin Pill), they would become wary of them. 。They also paid attention to Lu XiaTian for a while before deciding to cooperate with him. 。"Naturally, a few spiritual herbs for alchemy are also needed. If three materials are given, it is no problem to refine a furnace of pills." 。“This is quite high, good, then this matter will be entrusted to Lu Daoist friend. We can agree to Lu Daoist friend’s terms. Also, I forgot to tell Lu Daoist friend, recently the Foundation Establishment cultivators are quite busy, the spirit materials and pills needed for Lu Daoist friend's alchemy will be delivered by our two brothers." 。"Lü Huai smiled faintly." 。“Since I have agreed, of course, I will cooperate wholeheartedly with the two of you.” 。Lu Xiaitian nodded, he didn't expect these two brothers to be so meticulous in their actions, they actually severed his connection with the foundation-building cultivator from the Lü family. 。Even if it were a real surprise, it probably wouldn't cause any waves. The fact that these two brothers know so much about the Xuan Yuan Dao Zang suggests they are not simply telling the truth that they only saw a group of cultivators fighting from afar decades ago. 。If you only look from afar, how can you know so many details 。These two people are definitely hiding something from him, but the other party has no intention of saying it. Asking too much would only make them more wary. 。It wouldn't matter how these two tried to conceal it; he could easily expose them. 。The Xuan Yuan Dao Zang, to actually cause three families of foundation building cultivators to expend so much effort, is truly something to look forward to. 。Now that I think about it, the story of the entire Hu family migrating might not be entirely credible. 。It is most likely driven by the Xuan Yuan Dao Zang. 。Maybe there are really secrets to achieving the Golden Core Dao hidden within. 。The Fire Jiao scale armor should have been finished by now, I need to find some time to go back to望月城 and pick it up. There are a lot of masters in several families, if he goes alone, the danger will be much greater. An extra piece of Fire Jiao scale armor could save his life at a critical moment. 。After receiving a variety of herbs from Lü Feng and Lü Hui, totaling more than five parts, Lu XiaTian took the herbs and returned directly to his temporary residence. He ordered the two not to disturb him during this time, citing alchemy as the reason. 。Although Lü Feng had some doubts in his heart, he wasn't skilled in alchemy and worried that disturbing Lu Xia Tian would affect the refining of Huí Yuán Dān. This was directly related to their combat power, so he could only arrange for people to guard near Lu Xia Tian's residence. 。

After refining two furnaces of Huí Yuán Dàn, Lú Xiǎotiān went out directly that night. The night was as dark as ink. How could a few Qi Refining cultivators possibly stop a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Lú Xiǎotiān old monsters of the Great Ascension realm so nervous“Is there a nameless friend who is injured” Mo Yuanyan asked.“That day, lightning entered my body. Although I successfully advanced a rank, I was i...
