d not pierce through this strange black mist.Lu Xiaitian and Luo Qian were just about to attack the injured woman when a cloud of black smoke, expanding at an impossible speed, engulfed them all.A low...Even though this Devil Sound Stone was extremely dangerous, Lu Xiaotian wasn't that afraid of it. If he were just in an ordinary environment in the Immortal Realm, Lu Xiaotian might not be able to withstand the bursts of devilish sounds emanating from it. However, if it were placed within the Qingguo Barrier, even if the Devil Sound Stone was dangerous, it wouldn't be as powerful as the Black Dragon Orb, which had reached the Golden Immortal level.

While Lu Xia Tian transformed into a dragon, he also gained experience within the Qingguo barrier.

“Qingxuan Immortal Pill When will Lord Dongfang be able to refine it, if one day Qingxuan Immortal Wine is brewed, I must come over to taste this immortal brew!” Zhou Yugong’s expression remained unchanged, while Zhang Taixu’s eyes widened instantly, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He looked at Lu Xiaitian as if he were gazing upon a peerless treasure.

There are many forces in the fairy world, and over the years, the Heavenly Court has quelled countless large and small forces. Naturally, many things have been obliterated by the river of time. Some have turned to ashes, while others still have traces that can be rediscovered, such as techniques or some immortal brews.

"If what you provided is alright, once the Qing Xuan Immortal Wine is brewed, I'll invite you over for a toast." Lu Xia Tian asked Yan with a smile.

“Let me help you brew some wine instead. This dragon-seeking business is rather dull, not to my taste.” Zhang Taixu said with longing in his eyes.

“Come over here,” Lu Xia Tian said with a suspicious glance at Zhang Tai Xu, “Do you think your wine is strong enough for me”

At this time, even Zhou Yu's serious face couldn't help but reveal a few smiles.

“This, Eastern Deputy Pavilion Master, you can rest assured. As long as you supply me with a limited amount every day, I definitely won't steal a sip. Different immortal wines are stored in different ways and require knowledgeable people to carefully manage them. Moreover, Eastern Deputy Pavilion Master not only excels in alchemy but also possesses astonishing magical powers. He is busy refining pills and cultivating, with many things to attend to. He certainly needs one or two capable people to assist him. Although my cultivation level is far inferior to that of Eastern Deputy Pavilion Master, I am at least a Xuanxian. I can handle many affairs for Eastern Deputy Pavilion Master.” Zhang Taixu was afraid that Lu Xiaoteng would refuse, so he showered him with compliments.

“You’re really willing to give up your position as a Dragon-Seeking Immortal” Lu Xiaoteng looked at Zhang Taixu with suspicion.

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

“I give up, I give up. Unlike Old Zhou, I don't have any deep-seated grudges with the Dragon Clan. It's pointless to fight those who are too low in cultivation, and I can't beat those who are higher. Besides, I’m a glutton by nature, and I'm afraid this habit won't change in my lifetime. I've been in this position for far too long, and many people above me have grown tired of me. They want to remove me from the Dragon Seeker position. Being transferred elsewhere wouldn't be much better. It would be better to come work under you, brewing wine, savoring delicacies, and tasting exquisite brews. This kind of life is truly living like a god! Otherwise, what’s the point of cultivating to such a high level and living for so long” Zhang Tai Xu said with a chuckle.

"Very well, if you still have such thoughts later, come find me after you've settled your affairs." Lu Xia Tian nodded. If this fat Zhang Tai Xu truly had these thoughts, he didn't mind having one more idle person around here. There were a few Xuanxian strongmen inside the Town Demon Pagoda, Xuanjing and Dushan whose strength was no weaker than Zhang Tai Xu's. However, they weren't convenient to show themselves.

As matters became more complicated, Lu Xia Tian truly needed a capable person to stand by his side and deter those with ulterior motives. This was to prevent them from causing harm to Zhu Yan, Lü Yiming, and Yunxia Fairy if they couldn't directly threaten Lu Xia Tian himself.

"Haha, alright, I'll take that as agreement from you, Deputy Head of the Eastern Pavilion. After this trip, I shall return and resign from my position as Dragon Seeker."

After finishing his words, Zhang Taixu stretched out his hand and pushed. A Sumeru ring whose surface was constantly vibrating flew towards Lu Xiaoteng. Zhang Taixu's face showed both fear and relief.

“This thing is tasteless, and it’s a pity to discard it. Eastern Deputy Pavilion Master, you should be careful. The Demonic Sound Stone is in this Sumeru Ring, and there should be some other things inside, but my divine sense just entered it and almost got trapped inside and couldn't come out. The Demonic Sound Stone is too powerful. If it weren't for the prohibition on this ring being reinforced by a high-level expert, I'm afraid its aura would have leaked long ago. Even so, the prohibition on the Sumeru Ring probably won't last long.”

"It's fine. If the danger is too great, I'll just pass it on to someone else." Lu Xia Tian nodded and took the seeds of the Thousand Sound Red Fruit from Zhang Tai Xu's hand.

“Since Zhang Dao-you said it’s over, then this matter is settled. I have something else to do, so I won’t disturb the two of you.” Lu Xiaoteng nodded. He had taken quite a few benefits, although they were things the other party didn't need, but they were quite helpful for Lu Xiaoteng. It was not easy to find seeds of a celestial plant like Qianyin Zhuguo. Being able to get it so easily was also a pleasant surprise.

“Wait a moment, Deputy Master of the East!” Zhang Taixu called out hastily.

"Is there anything else" Lu Xia Tian asked.

"I wonder what brings Lord Dongfang, the deputy head of the Eastern Pavilion, here"

"You wouldn't have thought of something else, would you If I were here for the dragon aura, what then" Lu Xia Tian frowned.

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Zhou Yu's eyes, but Zhang Taixu waved his hand dismissively. "These days, there are countless people who want to use dragon artifacts to refine magic weapons or cultivate other divine abilities. Even if Dongfang, the deputy head, came for this reason, it wouldn't be a big deal. What I mean is that I've been here for some time and am fairly familiar with this place. If Deputy Head Dongfang has any doubts, feel free to ask me. Perhaps I can offer some help."

“I heard that there have been some anomalies here, possibly from other dimensions, so I came to take a look and see what's going on.” Lu Xia Tian nodded. The appearance of anomalies here must have been seen by many guardian immortals, and the news should be known to more than just himself. There was nothing wrong with saying it out loud.

“I see. I've heard a bit about this as well. This kind of anomaly appearing without warning and lacking any discernible pattern is quite unusual. It seems the Eastern Deputy Pavilion Master will have to stay for a while longer before making any discoveries.” Zhang Taixu mused, recalling what he knew.

“Farewell!” Lu Xia Tian nodded and went away with the wind.

"Lao Zhou, how are your injuries" It was only then that Zhang Taixu looked at Zhou Yu and asked.

"It's alright, this person is indeed formidable. When we sparred, he didn't go all out, otherwise my injuries would have been even worse." Zhou Yu looked in the direction Lu Xiaottian had left, his voice tinged with lingering fear. "The last time I saw him, he was only in the late stages of the Immortal Realm. I never expected him to improve so rapidly. Unless he truly has extraordinary talent, there must be something else at play."

“Old Zhou, it’s not that I’m saying you’re wrong. I know you have quite a grudge against the Dragon Clan, but don’t be too sensitive. You can conjure up countless associations just from a slight connection. How many people have you offended over the years because of this At this rate, I think it won't be long before I am asked to leave the Dragon-Seeking Mansion, and you will be expelled first.” Zhang Taixu said.

Source:s lost due to the prolonged refining time, leading to the failure of the entire alchemy process. Although it was only a small part, in alchemy, one must be meticulous; even a slight deviation can lead...
