ing unexpected happens, he won't be coming." Lu Xia Tian smiled faintly. If it weren't for Emperor Kun's serious injuries this time, he wouldn't bother coming to this place filled with heavy, ominous..."Master Qian has a discerning eye, and this junior truly has a stroke of luck." 。However, the gains were nothing more than some spirit stones and a large quantity of Qi Refining pills. Now, his cultivation level was entirely due to the enhancement from these pills. 。There is no such thing as a pill or magic potion that can rapidly improve one's cultivation level in a short period of time. I'm afraid Master Qian will be disappointed. 。Lü Xiaoti smiled wryly and said, he said so on the surface, but in his heart he couldn't help but sneer. Back then, the old man in black robe also took him as a disciple, but he only treated him as a tool to be used. 。Even if the other party is incredibly skilled, if they are not sincerely accepting them as a disciple, they will learn nothing. 。And Lingxiao Palace has a library where there are many techniques that can be purchased directly with spirit stones, and you don't necessarily need to rely on Qian Dali. 。And he truly didn't have any pills that could drastically increase one's cultivation level in a short period of time. He wasn't lying about that. 。As for the mysterious space inside the body, no one would divulge any details. 。Otherwise, even a cultivator at the Golden Core stage would develop greed. Don't even mention that the person in front of them is just a Qi Refinement cultivator. 。“Well then, this old man will just ask casually. Since you don't have it on you, that's alright, you may go back now.” 。Seeing Lu Xiaotian's expression, it didn't seem like he was lying. Qian Dali's originally tolerable expression immediately turned cold and stern. 。However, he was only a Qi Refining cultivator and had not fallen to the point of directly attacking Lu Xia Tian on Qinglian Peak. 。Then Qian Dali directly ordered them to leave. 。"Yes, this junior takes his leave!" Lu Xia Tian exited the cave dwelling and just happened to run into Yu Bao squinting with a knowing smirk as he walked in. It seemed he had definitely received a sound transmission of a generous gift. 。Leaving the mountain path of Qinglian Peak, Lu Xia Tian let out a breath while also feeling a twinge of urgency. 。He wasn't interested in the fact that Qian Dali, that old scoundrel, actually had a son who was about thirteen years old. 。At the age of thirteen, he had reached the eighth level of Qi Refinement. In Qian Dali's tone, this speed didn't seem very fast. 。Moreover, the supply of foundation-building pills was far more tight than he had previously imagined. Before this, Lu Xiaoteng thought that as long as he could study in a major immortal sect, he would eventually have the opportunity to obtain a foundation-building pill. 。Now it seems completely different, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Qian Dali can't get it. He can only let his son get the quota through the sect's once-in-five-years competition and gain... 。and it's only the top fifty 。Imagine the Lingxiao Palace having tens of thousands of disciples at the Qi Refining stage, with many being at the late stage of Qi Refining and nearing the Great Accomplishment realm. 。To get into the top ten out of tens of thousands of people is incredibly difficult. 。Moreover, a considerable portion of them are descendants of Foundation Establishment cultivators or direct disciples. 。These people are different from ordinary casual cultivators from a young age. They have better pills to help them cultivate, can cultivate better techniques, and have been guided by foundation-building cultivators since childhood. 。are no match for these wild, untamed cultivators. 。Moreover, there are a very small number of descendants of Golden Core experts. 。The foundation is truly remarkable. 。Now there were only two paths before him, the sect's small competition was a test for Qi Refining disciples. 。Once every five years, the last one was two years ago, this time he definitely won't be able to make it. 。Even with his cultivation at the sixth level of Qi refinement, consuming pills like beans would still be insufficient to reach the state of Great Accomplishment within two years. 。This kind of public trial on the stage is nothing compared to the battles in the Wangu Mountain Range.

Even if he had cards up his sleeve now, after a few matches they would be seen through. These deeply-rooted descendants' children would quickly find ways to counter and break them.

He can't last many rounds before being eliminated, after all, whether it's spells, cultivation, or artifacts, he doesn't have any particular advantage over others. 。However, this trip wasn't entirely fruitless. At least now I know about the existence of a spiritual root. Although this generous gift seems to have ulterior motives, the concept of a spiritual root does align with my current state. I still need to spend some time researching and finding ancient texts about spiritual roots. 。According to Yu Bao's previous introduction, Lu Xia Tian flew to the bamboo mountain of his choice on a rented spirit crane after leaving Qinglian Peak. 。The distance to Qinglian Main Peak is a hundred or so miles. 。But this is still in the air, if it were on the ground, following the undulating mountain road would indeed be quite troublesome. 。Lu Xia Tian found a well-ventilated, sunny hillside and prepared to excavate a small cave. 。However, when he swung his sword at the ground a few times with force, he discovered that the blade could only penetrate less than an inch. The hardness of the rock was astonishing. 。"These stones on this mountain are actually a type of spirit object, so hard " 。At this rate, it would probably take several months to excavate even a cave. 。It seems like I'll have to temporarily build a bamboo hut. Luckily, the plains are full of bamboo. 。Lü Xiaotien scratched his head and dismissed the idea of building a cave dwelling. 。He couldn't afford to spend that much time building a place to live. 。

"Clang!"

The short sword slashed against the emerald green bamboo with a metallic clash. The spirit bamboo was incredibly hard, and Lu Xia Tian swung his sword several times before finally breaking it.

Just as Lü Xiaotiān was busy building a dwelling, Yu Bào came out of Qiándàlǐ's cave with a belly full of questions. 。Some people are unclear about the relationship between Qian Dali and Lu Xiaotian. 。Logically speaking, Lu Xia Tian, a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refinement, would be almost at the bottom in Lingxiao Palace. 。it's important not to be blinded by money. 。However, the facts contradicted common sense. Qian Dali actually asked him to keep a close eye on Lu Xiaoxiao's every move, to see if there was anything unusual about his behavior. 。Could it be that Lu Xiaottian had something on him that even a Foundation Establishment cultivator craved A greedy glint appeared in Yu Bao's eyes, but he quickly banished the terrifying thought from his mind. To vie with Qian Dali was out of the question unless he craved death. 。Thinking of Qian Dali's generous promises, Yu Bao couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart. As long as he completed this task, he would have a powerful patron to rely on in the future. In the Qinglian Peak domain, who would dare to bully him again

Three days later, Lu Xia Tian looked at the small bamboo building before him with a sense of accomplishment.

A sharp eagle's cry pierced the air.

Lu Xiaoteng looked up and saw a huge spirit eagle flapping its wings and flying over. It hovered two zhang above the ground, and Yu Bao leaped down from it with a beaming face. “Senior brother Lu, your place is really secluded! I had to go through a lot of trouble to find you!” 。"Lu Xiaitian smiled faintly, "I wonder what Brother Yu has to teach me" "It's like this, Master Qian is worried that you are new to Lingxiao Palace and may not be very clear about many things. He specially instructed me to move here to Lu Shidi. If Lu Shidi encounters any difficulties in the future, just come to me" 。"Yu Bao patted his chest, looking righteous and awe-inspiring, then flatteringly said, "It seems that Junior Brother Lu has a close relationship with Master Qian. In the future, if Senior Brother Yu encounters difficulties, I hope Junior Brother Lu will help me." 。Lu Xia Tian hurriedly expressed his politeness with a few words, found an excuse to go back to the bamboo hut to start refining pills. 。Yu Bao watched Lu Xiaitian leave with a chuckle. He thought to himself, "Although the spiritual energy here is a bit thin, with the elixir provided by the generous gift, my cultivation will be even faster than in my original dwelling." 。Just looking at Lu Xiaoteng's expression, it doesn't seem like anything is wrong. 。But no matter, Yu Bao would rather have Qian Dali keep handing him tasks like this. 。may not feel the same way. 。"I am Qiao Lan. Thank you, Brother Lu, for rescuing me this time. In the future, if you need anything, I will definitely do my best to help." 。Joe Lan's pair of bright eyes...
