Chapter 205: The Vortex

ying. Now his composure was broken. So many people were being suppressed and beaten by that terrifying silver-haired cultivator.Furthermore, of the six Jindan cultivators, one had already fallen. The..."Now, you two can tell me how you came to know about the Mixed Yuan Scripture. Don't say it was from watching others fight. Based on your two cultivation levels, even decades ago, just observing from afar wouldn't allow you to understand the ins and outs of things so thoroughly. I find that hard to believe." 。Lu Xia Tian looked at the two with interest. Before, he had only appeared as a cultivator of the Qi Refining Stage, so he couldn't be too forceful. Now that he had recovered to the Foundation Establishment Stage, it was naturally effortless. 。"Senior Lu, your insight is as sharp as a hawk's, junior admires you greatly." 。"Lu Hui smiled awkwardly, "Actually, my brother and I entered the Xuan Yuan Dao Zang at first, but it was quite dangerous inside. Later, we were chased by several others who had also entered. After many life-and-death struggles, we managed to escape." 。The two of them spoke to each other, recounting the events leading up to and after their entry into the Hun Yuan Dao Zang over a decade ago to Lu Xia Tian. 。"So that's how it is. For a single Foundation Establishment Pill, I don't know how many people have lost their lives." 。"Lu Xia Tian sighed," 。As the senior said, my brother and I have racked our brains for decades to collect the spiritual materials needed for the foundation-building pill. We’ve been in countless perilous situations, barely escaping with our lives. 。There are still a few kinds of spirit creatures missing, but even if we collected them all, refining them into foundation-building pills would be a huge hassle. 。“Speaking of which, Lü Hui looked at Lu Xiaodao with a probing gaze, “I wonder, senior…”

“I’ve refined Qi Gathering Pills for others before. If you guys collect the spiritual objects and I'm still alive when I come out from the Xuanyuan Dao Zang, I might consider refining a batch of Qi Gathering Pills for you.” 。"Lu Xiaitian's eyes flashed as he said, "From what the two of you have said just now, there doesn't seem to be anything suspicious. However, he would never place all his hopes on others. Intimidation is no match for temptation. If he wants these two to wholeheartedly serve him, there needs to be something worthwhile for them to work for." 。But for a cultivator who has achieved the peak of Qi Refinement, nothing compares to a Foundation Establishment Pill. 。"Thank you, seniors! I am willing to die for you!"Lü Feng and Lü Hui, upon hearing this, were overjoyed and knelt down respectfully. 。Just now I learned that Lu Xia Tian is a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage, and considering that he can also refine pills, Lü Hui only tried to probe him. Unexpectedly, Lu Xia Tian agreed directly, which was really a pleasant surprise. 。

After they had collected all the spiritual materials needed for the Foundation Establishment Pill, it wouldn't have been easy for them, as a mere two Qi Refining cultivators, to find a powerful alchemist. Even if they went to望月城, finding an alchemist with sufficient qualifications would be difficult. And even if they found one, why would someone agree to refine a pill for them

Would such an alchemist even be willing And could the two of them afford the exorbitant refining fees But Lu Xiaoteng's promise resolved their worries. As for whether Lu Xiaoteng was deceiving them, Lü Feng and Lü Hui had never considered it.

In this world of the strong preying on the weak, even if Lu Xia Tian gave them nothing and only threatened their lives, they would probably have no choice but to obey. 。After all, it's common practice in the cultivation world to overpower others. 。From the vicinity of Tongtian Lake, Lü Feng's two brothers enjoyed flying with their swords, satisfying their cravings for this airborne experience. To avoid being detected by the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the three major families, Lu Xiaoteng did not get too close, riding in the midst of the aura left behind by the cultivators from the three major families... 。Several times in the middle, Lu Xia Tian did not directly advance, but inquired with the two brothers Lü Feng. 。Lv Feng and Lv Fan pondered for a while, then asked Lu Xia Tian to lower the altitude some, repeatedly identifying this guest. They confirmed that the direction was consistent with the direction in which the founding cultivators of the Three Great Families had left. 。Lu Xia Tian judged that what the two brothers said should be true, after all, the residual magical fluctuations in the air were very weak. His divine sense strength was far superior to that of fellow foundation building cultivators of the same rank. He could judge the direction based on the remaining magical aura, but the Lü brothers were only Qi refining cultivators and didn't have this ability. 。After flying for three days and three nights, Lu Xia Tian felt that the cultivators of the three great families seemed to have stopped, but in contrast, there seemed to be another mixed breath approaching. 。Lu Xia Tian stopped in a dense forest valley, putting down the Lu brothers. After all, he had cultivated the Art of Concealing Qi and could control his own aura quite thoroughly. However, with the two Lu brothers by his side, their combined presence was too conspicuous and easily noticeable by others. 。"The situation is rather strange, it seems that quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators have come." 。You two, stay here for now. 。“Please be careful, seniors” 。"Lu Ban nodded. At this time, the distance to Hun Yuan Dao Zang was very close, and it did require some caution." 。After Lu Xia Tian released the Lü brothers, he did not fly on his sword again. Instead, he directly used the cover of trees to hasten forward. 。After leaving Lü Family, but before arriving at Li Xu, Lu XiaTian's face was uncertain. Out of caution, he released the Centipede Puppet. The Centipede Puppet was just an inanimate object, and his deputy Yuanshen was attached to it. 。After doing all of this, Lu Xia Tian swiftly dashed out. 。And the centipede puppet moved slowly, like a snail, crawling towards the direction of the Lü brothers. 。Lu Xiaoxian advanced very cautiously. After all, with his deputy primordial spirit separated from his body, his current actual combat power had been reduced by almost half. 。Although the centipede puppet is only a few dozen miles away, at his Qi-building stage strength, it would take mere moments to reach it. However, if he were to truly encounter a formidable opponent, even a short while could be the difference between life and death. 。According to the Lü brothers, Hun Yuan Dao Zang is located among rugged mountains, not in a flat, open area. It's more suitable for concealing one's presence. 。

With a roar, a tiger with bright eyes saw Lu Xiaoteng and charged forward menacingly. However, when the tiger met Lu Xiaoteng's gaze, it let out a low howl and scurried away tail between its legs.

This king of beasts had never seen such a terrifying gaze. 。In a valley surrounded by five mountains, there is a thousand-foot waterfall. The water flows down from the mountain peak, forming a magnificent landscape in this mountainous region. 。And at the edge of the pond stood seventeen foundation-building cultivators from the Hu, Yan, and Lü families. 。Led by the three main figures, this force was quite formidable. They were currently sizing up the valley. 。And on another precipice, there were more than twenty cultivators. One of them was the alien cultivator in black robes who had clashed with Lu Xiaoteng before. The Four Directions Magic Qi Mirror, Lu Xiaoteng still remembered it vividly, was even stronger than him. 。Lu Xia Tian's pupils constricted, it seemed that this trip to the Hun Yuan Dao Zang wouldn't be peaceful. 。Several dozen figures flashed past again. Among them were disciples from the Qingdan Palace, a few from the Man Beast Sect, and some others whose origins were unclear. Lu Xia Tian guessed they were probably scattered cultivators from望月 City, or perhaps cultivators sent by the Qingdan Palace and the Man Beast Sect to secular families. 。Lu Xia tian crossed his arms, his eyes flickering uncertainly. There were not only cultivators from sects like Qingdan Palace, but also cultivators from other domains. The situation before him was truly complicated. 。The Three Great Families had just obtained the key to open the Mixed Yuan Dao Zang, and these people appeared out of nowhere. Could it be that during the Heavenly Lake incident, cultivators from other realms, as well as members of the Qingdan Palace, spread the word It shouldn't be possible. Even if news was sent out at that time, these people probably wouldn't have arrived here just in time, not early or late. Such a coincidence, the only explanation is that there must be an insider among the foundation-building cultivators of the Three Great Families!

"Brother Hu, it seems the situation isn't looking good," 。Lu Tianlin cautiously looked around at the vast mountains. Although he couldn't see his opponent with just his eyes, cultivators' spiritual senses were often more sensitive than their eyesight, and the higher their cultivation level, the more so this was true. 。Now he felt something was amiss, after all, as a late-stage Qi refining expert, dozens of alien cultivators close by were not too far away. It was normal to sense them. 。After all, among cultivators from foreign realms, there are also those with relatively low cultivation levels. 。

Ignore him, although this Hun Yuan Dao Zang is rumored to contain the secrets of achieving the Golden Core Dao, it is also quite dangerous. Many people rely on information from Qi Refining cultivators, but Qi Refining cultivators have limited strength and can only move in a small area. Without experience, recklessly rushing in will quickly lead to trouble. Sometimes, having more people doesn't solve the problem.

There are several kinds of forces in the Daoist canon, and the environment is unpredictable. Even if you enter from the same direction, you may not necessarily bump into each other. If you do bump into each other, even with our current strength, we may not be afraid of these people. 。Hu Qiangshan let out a cold snort. His strength was several points higher than Lu Tianlin's, so he had naturally noticed the unusual fluctuations in magical power around them. 。"Since that's the case, let's go in first. If we can get our hands on the treasures inside, with riches in hand, we won't have to fear those ill-intentioned fellows." 。"Yan Tieshan didn't pay much attention to those people scheming in the shadows. Of course, this was also because they had several Foundation Establishment late-stage experts sitting behind them, and they had a better understanding of the Hun Yuan Dao Zang, giving them a head start." 。Hu Qianshan nodded, throwing a five-colored stone the size of a millstone into the air. The five-colored stone hovered in mid-air, beginning to rotate slowly, and spinning faster and faster. 。After a moment, it was impossible to make out what it was. 。It's just a blurry patch. 。Then, this waterfall, towering thousands of feet high, and the water in the pool below it all swirled around the halo formed by the five-colored stones, shaping a giant whirlpool. 。"Done, let's go!" Hu Qianshan beamed with delight and rushed forward first, disappearing into the whirlpool. Behind him, Lü Tianlin, Yan Tieshan, and other cultivators also entered one after another. 。"I didn't expect that there would be such a peculiar place in this cultivation world, where mantises catch cicadas while the yellow sparrow waits behind. I wonder who the yellow sparrow is though" 。Duan Huitian, dressed in a black robe, with black qi swirling around his face. 。With a wave of his hand, he and his twenty-one followers vanished into the vortex in the blink of an eye. 。“You two, come onto the centipede’s back quickly!” 。"As Lü Feng and Lü Fan anxiously waited in the hidden place within the valley, a faint tremor resonated from outside. Peeking through their cover, they witnessed a colossal puppet centipede raising its head. Its eyes, crafted from crystal stones, were fixed on them. Although it was merely a puppet, both men distinctly heard Lu Xiaottian's voice." 。"You, are you Senior Lu" 。“Lu Feng jumped in fright,” 。“Yes, don't dawdle. The three great families have already entered the Hun Yuan Dao Zang, we have to hurry.” 。The centipede puppet spoke, and with a gaping mawn our feud with the Zhou family, for Brother Zhen's face, we few are not necessarily unwilling to accept.” Bu Feng gritted his teeth and said, the other party’s words were like a loud slap in the face...
