Chapter 228: Leaving the Daoist Shrine

t distance, wanting to retreat without fighting had become a fantasy.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!Although the battle just now lasted only a breath, this person br..."This is Lu, my senior brother from Lingxiao Palace. He is also our savior. Without Brother Lu, my sister and I probably wouldn't have made it into the Gujian Sect today." 。Brother Hu, don't underestimate Brother Lu's cultivation level. His magical fighting skills are no weaker than yours. 。When talking about Lu Xia Tian, a strange gleam appeared in Luo Qing's eyes. 。"Just now I've seen Lu brother's methods, back when I was just at the middle stage of foundation building, I was far inferior to Lu brother." 。Hu Hongda smiled contentedly, although in his heart he thought that Lu Xiaoteng's strength was mostly due to that fire-elemental Dan Yuan Sword. 。But to make both Luo Qing and Luo Yuan value him so much, he must be extraordinary. Even Luo Qing, whose strength is now comparable to his, has a far lower status and potential within the sect than Luo Qing, who has a great hope of ascending to the Golden Core Dao. 。He certainly wouldn't have embarrassed Lu Yuan and his sister, and the fact that these people were able to get along peacefully just now was indeed thanks to the other party's help. 。“Where are Zong Sheng and Tao Feng Why weren’t they with you” Lu Xiaoteng nodded to Hu Hongda, then looked at Luo Qing. 。To make a long story short, we encountered several enemy groups along the way. One group was an alliance of cultivators from the Nanhuang and Tianqiong realms. They were no match for us in battle and scattered in different directions. Luckily for me, I didn't have to chase them for long before I ran into Big Brother Lu and all of you... 。It's quite a sight to see you dressed like that, Lu Ge! 。Lu Xia Tian, dressed as a round-faced Taoist priest at this time, made Luo Qing smile. 。"I can't help it, I'm alone and have offended many people here. If I don't change my appearance, I'm afraid I won't even live to meet you." 。This is how it looks now, I was also chased by the cultivators of Ghost Valley for a while before. 。These guys from the Evil Spirit Valley, taking advantage of their proximity to the Southern Desolate Land, have always acted as if they weren't part of the Looking Moon Cultivation World. They think they can escape into the Southern Desolate Land anytime. 。This time, I absolutely have to file a formal complaint with the sect. 。When it comes to the cultivators of Evil Spirit Valley, Hu Hongda said with a face full of indignation: 。"Luckily, we now have Senior Brother Hu, younger sister, and the three brothers Lu. Our team's strength is unprecedentedly strong. Those ordinary people behind us are no match for us at all. If we encounter cultivators from the Evil Spirit Valley again, we will fight back fiercely." 。Luo Yuan spat. 。It has to be said, Gu Jianzong's signboard is indeed much better than Lingxiao Palace's. After all, it has been the number one sect in the Wangyue Cultivation World for tens of thousands of years, a long-established sect. In the middle, they encountered several waves of people from other sects, and everything went smoothly. 。After all, besides vicious and ruthless sects like the Evil Spirit Valley, very few sects would choose to fight each other with swords and blades. 。Of course, this is also related to the fact that Gu Jianzong cultivators are generally stronger than cultivators of the same level. 。Lu Xiaotian mixed in the crowd, and for a while, he enjoyed a rare period of peace. 。"Lu Ge has already cultivated the art of puppetry" During a break, Lu Qing privately asked Lu Xia Tian. 。“Indeed, there was practice in the art of puppetry” 。Lu Xiaotian nodded. 。"Big Brother Lu's title makes me feel out of place. When my parents were still alive, they called me Qing'er." 。“Luo Qing’s cheeks flushed slightly.” 。“I’ll still call you my junior sister. If I called you Qing'er, not only would you be the protector of Gu Jianzong’s flowers, but even Tao Feng and Zong Sheng and the others probably wouldn’t look kindly upon me.” 。Lu Xiaitian touched his nose. He naturally understood Luo Qing's feelings, but every time he got to this point, another beautiful figure always popped up in his mind uncontrollably. 。Moreover, he was deeply focused on achieving the Golden Elixir Dao as soon as possible, and truly didn't have much time to spend on such romantic entanglements. 。As for Lu Qing, he naturally didn't have a trace of resentment. It was just that Lu Qing wasn't aware of his situation. Perhaps if she knew about him and Dongfang Yi, she wouldn't act like this... 。“What do they have to do with me, I have two puppets here that I don't need. Lu Ge, do you find them useful” 。"When mentioning Tao Feng and others, Luo Qing let out a snort and suddenly remembered something. She spoke, saying that she recalled Lu Xia Tian having previously used a centipede puppet." 。"What kind of powerful puppets did Junior Sister obtain from the Puppet Hall before" Luo Qing spoke first, otherwise he would be a little embarrassed. The myriad strange and wondrous spirits in the Hun Yuan Dao Zang had benefited him greatly, but in fact, he was also very much moved by the puppets in the Puppet Hall, after all, the centipede puppet could no longer provide him with any help." 。There was a bronze figurine and a stone figurine. The cultivation method I practiced wasn't useful. Thinking about how Brother Lu had a puppet in his hands before, maybe it would be useful. 。How powerful these two puppets are, I haven't used them and don't know much about them. 。Luo Qing handed Lu Xia Tian a storage pouch and said: 。“The Chijin statues and the stone statues” Lu Xia Tian opened his storage pouch and saw inside that the Chijin statue was exactly the same as the one he had encountered before and killed, while the stone statue was taller, two meters tall, wearing a blue stone armor with an ancient pattern.” 。Chi Jin Yong's strength, Lu Xia Tian had already witnessed. If it wasn't for the fire dragon bow and arrow in his hand, even if he was a sixth-rank body cultivator, plus the Chi Yan Li Huo sword, it would be difficult to completely kill him. 。As for the cyan stoneware puppet, although I haven't witnessed its power, being placed in the Puppet Hall alongside the crimson gold puppet suggests it wouldn't be far behind. 。It takes at least high-grade spirit stones to drive this puppet, mid-grade spirit stones can't withstand the exertion. 。These two puppets are invaluable, even with spirit stones it might not be easy to buy them. 。In the cultivation world of gazing at the moon, few people can refine it. Even if they are refined, most of them are kept for personal use, just like the Seven Star Array that Lu Xia Tian encountered before. Unless it is a critical moment, they will not easily take it out for exchange. 。

Lu Qing didn't ask for anything in return, and directly gave him these two puppets. This kindness was immeasurable. Even Lu Xiaoteng, who had always been indifferent, couldn't help but feel touched. Since he entered the world of cultivation, he had encountered nothing but scheming and deceit. He was always in danger of perishing if he wasn't careful.

For decades now, Lu Xia Tian has always walked on thin ice. Besides Dong Fang Yi's reckless protection of him last time, only Luo Qing has shown him genuine loyalty. 。Unless he had already enjoyed intimate relations with Dongfang Yi, and Lu Qing's talent was extraordinary, reaching the Golden Core stage wouldn't be difficult. 。But he was the opposite, the Jindan Dao was empty and ethereal. His heart softened, Lu Xia Tian felt that being with Luo Qing might be a good choice. 。However, Lu Xiaoxiao was very clear that the two people's talents were not on the same level at all. 。

Luò Qīng is a gifted disciple of the Gǔjiàn Sect. Even when choosing a soulmate, following the sect's wishes, most likely he would choose someone within the sect.

Even if Luò Qīng insisted on choosing him, such a cultivator with extremely poor talent, he probably wouldn't even pass the test of Gǔ Jiàn Zōng first. 。In case Lu Qing successfully formed his core one day, while he remained stuck at the Qi-building stage, and until his lifespan ran out, Lu Qing would be alone for the rest of his life. By now, Lu Xiaotian was no longer a simple young man. He had become accustomed to considering the pros and cons before doing anything. 。Out of love for Lu Qing, choosing to be with her at this time is also a selfish act. 。Having thought this through, Lu Xia tian suppressed the excitement in his heart and took out three pill bottles, handing them to Luo Qing. "These pills should be useful to you. If there's anything lacking, you can keep them on hand." 。"Rejuvenation Pills, Heaven-Returning Pills, Beauty-Preserving Pills!" Seeing the pills in the porcelain bottle, Luo Qing's face was filled with surprise. Although her cultivation technique could delay aging, her appearance would still gradually grow old. 。Although Yuan Hao had also obtained a駐顏果 in the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land before, the 駐顏果 was considerably more difficult to obtain than the築基丹. 。She was robbed by the Golden Core ancestor of Gu Jian Zong, she, a newly built foundation cultivator, couldn't even get a share, there wasn't any female cultivator who didn't love beauty. 。This elixir of youth, capable of granting eternal beauty, was far more precious to Luò Qīng than the two puppets that were of little use. What made Luò Qīng even happier was that it was a gift from Lù Xiǎo Tiān. 。"If you ever get your hands on a Golden Condensation Fruit, bring it over. I can refine it into a Golden Condensation Pill for you, no spirit stones needed." 。In Lu Xiaoxian's eyes, the beauty pill was obviously inferior to these two puppets, so he added another sentence. 。"Senior Lu, your alchemy skills have reached such a level" Luo Qing said in shock. The improvement of alchemy skill is far more difficult than the improvement of cultivation as one progresses further." 。In Luo Qing's eyes, Lu Xiaitian would never reveal his true level. Every time she thought she had reached Lu Xiaitian's limit, when danger arose, Lu Xiaitian would always surprise people with even more astonishing performances. Since Lu Xiaitian said he could refine the Gold Condensing Pill, it was highly unlikely to be a lie. Even if she wanted the sect's alchemists to refine the Gold Condensing Pill for her, she would need to pay a certain price. 。Even a mid-level alchemist would not be inferior in status to an ordinary Golden Core cultivator within the sect. As for high-level alchemists who can refine Gold Core Pills, their contributions to the sect far surpass that of most Golden Core cultivators. 。These years, besides cultivation, I occasionally ponder over alchemy as well. I've gained some insights. I've also refined pills for others. 。The Dan rate won't be too low. 。Lu Xia Tian nodded. 。"Well then, when I have the Jin Condensing Fruit, I'll definitely refine pills for Big Brother Lu." 。Lu Qing was delighted. Even among fellow disciples, asking someone to refine a Golden Condensation Pill would cost a considerable amount. Yet Lu Xiaotian was able to refine one for her free of charge. It naturally showed that he didn't treat her as an outsider. 。By the time she reached the late stage of foundation building, it wouldn't have been difficult for her to obtain the Golden Core through her own strength in the sect's competition. However, Luo Yuan's strength was still lacking compared to the many powerful cultivators within the ancient sword sect. 。“As for my ability to refine high-level pills, I hope that Junior Sister Luo will keep it a secret for me. Besides you, if others knew that I could refine pills, they wouldn't know what level I had reached.” 。Once it's sent out, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave Lingxiao Palace. 。Lu Xia Tian reminded. 。“Okay, this will be our little secret between me and Big Brother Lu. I promise to keep it to myself.” 。"Lu Qing smiled like a blossoming flower and said, she clearly understood the value a high-level alchemist brought to a sect." 。That is the most important thing in the Gujian Sect. 。After all, those who can refine the Golden Core Pill are strategic resources in any sect. 。Moreover, Lingxiao Palace, with an even shallower foundation than other sects, its disciples would likely never be able to leave the sect once they learned that Lu Xia Tian, a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage, had achieved such great success. 。"By the way, I also got a puppet control technique in the Puppet Hall. I don't know if it would be helpful to Big Brother Lu." 。Luo Qing clapped his forehead and gave Lu Xiaoteng another jade slip. 。Lu Xia Tian readily accepted it, and with a sweep of his divine sense, he found that it was similar to the puppet control technique of the Qianzhu Jiao. 。It seems that the puppetry of the Qianzhu School is likely from the same lineage as this. 。

A group of people had circled around in the Hun Yuan Dao Zang for a while, but they didn't find any other valuable spirit objects. Luo Qing planned to leave as soon as possible and reach Wang Yue Xian City, or return to Gu Jian Zong to exchange that drop of gold-system Dan Yuan for a corresponding ice-system Dan Yuan.

With the silver sword in her hand, she refined it into a Dan Yuan artifact. Her strength would skyrocket once more, and even cultivators at the late stage of Qi Condensation would be no match for her. 。Lu Xiaitian had successfully refined a batch of Qing霜龍葵 pills in the middle. These pills were extremely effective for both the physical body and divine consciousness, and even those in the early stage of forming their golden elixir found them quite beneficial. 。He gave two of them to Lu Qing, keeping one for himself as a backup. After all, although this kind of elixir was rare and a holy medicine for healing, its drawback was that a cultivator could only use it once. 。And once this highly effective elixir is spread, it's very likely to fall into the hands of future rivals. There are many ways to earn spirit stones, and Lu Xia Tian didn't want to use this method. 。Having sensed the aura of a newly refined elixir like the Qing-Frost Dragon Vine Pill, Luo Qing had no more doubts about Lu Xiaoteng's pill refining prowess. 。

In the middle, a group of people reunited with another squad of cultivators from the Ancient Sword Sect. There were already six Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivators, and more than twenty cultivators at the mid-stage and early stage. This was already a very powerful force.

Lu Xia Tian blended into the crowd quite low-key. However, the cultivators of the Gujian Sect, after hearing about Lu Xia Tian's combat strength from Hu Hongda, did not dare to be even slightly careless. 。Such a powerful force, unless it was a Jindan cultivator, few dared to provoke it. Even if Lu Xia Tian brought along the Lü brothers, no one thought there was anything wrong. Of course, these uninformed people did not know that Lu Xia Tian was going to refine pills, they only thought that Lü Feng and Lü Hui were relatives of Lu Xia Tian. 。Only Lü Feng and Lü Hui felt a surge of inexplicable excitement in their hearts. The two were not greedy. In the Hun Yuan Dao Zang, besides some scattered spiritual objects they obtained along the way, after getting the spiritual objects needed to refine the Zhu Ji Dan, they immediately withdrew from the Dao Zang and returned to the place Lu Xiaotian had instructed them to wait. 。As time wore on, both of them became increasingly anxious. 。Perhaps they thought Lu Xia Tian had perished, or that he had abandoned them. After all, in the eyes of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, an Qi Refinement cultivator is no different from an ant. 。Though both individuals may possess spiritual beings, refining them into Foundation Establishment Pills is no easy feat. 。And ever since the opening of the Xuan Yuan Scripture Repository, disturbances have arisen in this region. Continuously, cultivators from other sects arrive. The two brothers worry that venturing out rashly will lead them to encounter other unfriendly fellow cultivators. 。Thus, I could only choose to continue waiting in place. 。Unexpectedly, Lu Xia Tian actually kept his promise and appeared. 。Following the Foundation Establishment cultivators, the two of them naturally had no more safety concerns. 。My heart was filled with the utmost gratitude for Lu Xia Tian. 。On the way, he also wiped out several small squads of cultivators from other domains. Lu Xia Tian had a glimpse of the strength of the disciples of the Gu Jian Sect. Compared to ordinary sects, among cultivators of the same rank, except for some exceptional individuals, the people of the Gu Jian Sect were indeed stronger than others. The reputation was well-deserved. 。Apart from a few skirmishes, the team arrived at the Moonlit Immortal City smoothly after a journey of stops and starts. 。Please: m.lvsetxt.cct in the tide."Several people nodded successively, stretching out their palms to support each other. A bead of water hovered above their heads, and a beam of azure light enveloped the five individuals...
