oo numerous to rescue comprehensively. 。This strange black water could even corrode cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, let alone Golden Core cultivators or Golden Core ghosts. Anyone who fell in...Lu Xia Tian extended his hand and with a gentle wave, pushed Luo Qian, Xiang Hua, and Yu Xiao Qiao towards each other. His ethereal flying sword suddenly enlarged, forming a huge light shield that enveloped everyone inside.

“Luo Shijie, let me take you to heal your wounds first.” Seeing Luo Qian's state at this time, Lu Xiaoxiao felt a mix of sympathy and relief in his heart. Thankfully, Luo Qian was still alive. Although Luo Qian looked miserable, as long as he was still breathing, Lu Xiaoxiao knew he could find a way to help him recover.

“Lu, Senior Brother, go to Qiao Lan. Her injuries are worse than mine.” Luo Qian shook his head, his face filled with worry.

“Are Qiao Lan with you too” Lu Xiaotian was quite surprised. Back then, in that situation, being able to escape with their lives was already considered good fortune. He didn’t expect Luo Qian and Qiao Lan to still be together.

“Staying together all the time, even Brother Niu, ah, I guess it’s best to wait until we meet Qiao Lan before saying anything more.” Luo Qian sighed.

Lu Xiaitian, upon hearing this, knew that the situation was probably worse than he had imagined. It seemed that since they left the secret realm, these few people hadn't had it easy.

The enlarged sword body of the flying sword carried everyone towards the direction Luo Qian pointed. They flew past verdant mountain ridges and crystal-clear rivers, with picturesque landscapes unfolding before them. The blue sky was as clear as washing, pure and flawless like a gem.

At this time, no one had the mood to appreciate the pleasant scenery. Each person had their own thoughts. Yu Xia Qiao had tears in her eyes and quietly stayed by Luo Qian's side, wiping the bloodstains on his body. Xiang Hua was also helping beside them.

“Uncle Hu, you must save Master! He was injured by that scoundrel to save me.” Yu Xiaoqiao cleaned Luo Qian’s wounds, tears streaming down her face.

“I’ll take care of your master uncle’s injuries, so don’t worry about it. Take some time to increase your cultivation. In the world of cultivators, it's a dog-eat-dog world. Even if you don’t resort to underhanded tactics, at least when someone bullies you to your head, have the strength to protect yourself and your loved ones.” Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Yu Xiaoqiao and Xiang Hua and said.

"I will follow the advice of my predecessors," Xiang Hua respectfully bowed his head. Yu Xiaoqiao snorted softly, without responding.

“From today's events, it seems your character is not bad. If you still wish to become my disciple, just be a registered student by my side.” Lu Xiaodao said.

Xiang Hua suddenly raised his head in astonishment, staring at Lu Xia Tian with disbelief. For a moment, he was completely speechless.

"What are you doing standing there Hurry up and pay your respects to Master Hu, lest he change his mind." Fish Xiaoqiao nudged Xiang Hua.

"Yes, yes, Master is here. I, the disciple, bow!" Xiang Hua trembled and knelt down with a bow.

>

Lu Xiaitian didn't stop him. After receiving a courtesy from Xiang Hua, Xiang Hua didn't seem very alert, even with a bit of naiveté. His talent wasn't top-notch, but it was still excellent. What was rare was his steadfast heart, similar to himself. He also diligently practiced cultivation. If he had some opportunities in the future, he would surely achieve something.

"Get up, Master leads you in, but your cultivation depends on yourself. Where you'll end up in the future depends on your own good fortune."

Lu Xia Tian stretched out his hand and brushed it across, a gentle force of masculine energy lifting Xiang Hua. Xiang Hua was still overwhelmed with excitement, but at the same time, he felt a thousand emotions surge within him. Back then, when he had offered a heavy gift to become the disciple of Lu Xia Tian, the other party had refused time and again. Now, because he acted recklessly to save his master, he was accepted as a disciple. It truly showed how unpredictable life can be.

"Congratulations, sir, on acquiring a fine disciple." Yu Ya適時的 outspoke to offer congratulations.

"My temperament is still alright. As for whether I'm a good disciple, time will tell." Lu Xiaottian didn't mind. Xiang Hua beside him smiled honestly and didn't feel at all that Lu Xiaottian's words belittled him.

“This time, you’re really my senior brother.” Yu Xiaoqiao knew about Xiang Hua’s past and was genuinely happy for him.

“In the palace, there are tens of thousands of disciples who have reached the Qi Refining stage. My senior brother hasn't taken on any disciples, so being able to be his disciples is considered a great fortune for both of you little fellows.” Luo Qian said with half joy and half sigh.

Fish Xiaqiao looked at Luo Qian with suspicion, then glanced at Lu Xiaottian again. Yu Ya and Xiang Hua also had the same doubts in their hearts. Although they had been with Lu Xiaottian for some time, he was extremely mysterious. It didn't matter before, but since Luo Qian, Lu Xiaottian's fellow disciple, appeared, everyone's hearts were like being scratched by a cat, speculating about the relationship between Lu Xiaottian and Luo Qian. It seemed that they should have come from a fairy gate, but in the Chiyan Continent, there were immortal families and the Immortal Dynasty ruling the world, but no major fairy gates existed.

Luo Qian's words described a valley on the edge of Xiangdu. By a clear stream, there were several thatched huts.

This place is called Dushan, with many swallows flying around. By the stream, a few black giant salamanders saw someone land and made several croaking sounds before shaking their heads and tails and diving into the water.

A woman, withered and emaciated, with a sallow complexion, bore the marks of age. Though her eyes still held a glimmer of past familiarity, her features were almost indistinguishable from those of an old woman.

“ Qiao Lan, decades have passed, I didn't expect you to be injured so badly.” Lu Xiaotian immediately recognized that the woman who looked like an old woman was the Qiao Lan of that year. Her face was sallow with a few bluish veins, her expression was dazed, clearly indicating that her Nascent Soul had been damaged.

Joe Lan was stunned for a moment, then looked at him with disbelief, "Lu, Brother Lu, it's really you, too, that's great."

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

"Luo Qian, you, how did you become like this Have you gotten into a fight with someone" When Qiao Lan saw Luo Qian again, her expression changed drastically.

“It’s alright, I’ve finally found Senior Brother Lu. Perhaps we can breathe a sigh of relief now.” Luo Qian smiled weakly.

"How could you be fine You look so bad." Qiao Lan looked at Lu Xiaitian with concern.

"County Princess, you are in charge of keeping watch around here and prevent strangers from approaching. My brother Luo and I haven't seen Qiao Lan for many years, we have some things to discuss," Lu XiaTian said to Yu Ya.

Yu Ya nodded. Here in the Doye Mountains, there were few Yuan Ying cultivators. Although her combat strength wasn't outstanding, as long as there were no Yuan Ying cultivators, she was only responsible for preventing low-level cultivators from disturbing this place, which naturally wouldn't be difficult.

"The two of you, go with the County Princess to take a look around. My master uncle and I still have something to discuss." Lu Xia Tian glanced at Xiang Hua and Yu Xiao Qiao again.

"Yes, Master." Xiang Hua nodded respectfully. Yu Xiaoqiao wrinkled her nose and followed Xiang Hua to Yu Ya's side.

“I was already a cripple, now I’m just a little more so, it doesn’t matter much.” Luo Qian chuckled self-deprecatingly, “Fortunately, I have found my senior brother now, and I can unload this burden from myself.”

"What happened to you guys After escaping the Lingxu Secret Realm, what have you all gone through" Lu Xiaottian asked in a low voice. Just by looking at Luo Qian and Qiao Lan's current state, they were far from well. It was likely that they had endured a lot of hardship over the years. Otherwise, the two wouldn't be so downcast, and from Luo Qian's tone earlier, the situation with the Eight-Footed Demon Bull Beast probably wasn't optimistic either.
