"Yes."
Lu Rui nodded. "Someone came to visit our Lu Clan today. He said he saw the Soul Stabilizing Grass in a remote mountain range."
"Did that person bring the Soul Stabilizing Grass? Where is he now? "
Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up when he heard Lu Rui's words. His breathing quickened involuntarily.
"That person didn't bring the Soul Stabilizing Grass with him."
Lu Rui shook his head in the face of Duan Lingtian's anticipation.
His words were like a bucket of cold water that splashed Duan Lingtian's head. It made Duan Lingtian wake up completely.
"He didn't bring the Soul Stabilizing Grass with him?"
Duan Lingtian frowned in confusion.
"Yes."
Lu Rui nodded. "I heard from that person that there's a demon that can transform into a human guarding the Soul Stabilizing Grass in that remote mountain range … He's not a match for that demon so he can't take the Soul Stabilizing Grass."
"Demon?"
Duan Lingtian's frown deepened. "Is that demon very powerful?"
In the entire Cloud Continent, the Soul Stabilizing Grass could be considered as an extremely rare treasure of heaven and earth. It was not strange that the place where it grew was guarded by a powerful demon.
"I heard from that person that the demon's strength is almost at the peak of the Void," Lu Rui said nonchalantly.
Lu Rui said nonchalantly, "A demon at the peak of the Void is nothing … I'm going to ask Elder Zhi to follow him to the mountain range to retrieve the Soul-stabilizing Herb.
Duan Lingtian naturally knew who Elder Zhi was.
He was one of the three Guardian Elders of the Lu Clan.
In the past, when he had just arrived at the Lu Clan, he had met Lu Zhi once.
However, he did not see him again after he joined the Lu Clan.
"However, I haven't asked Elder Zhi to follow that person to retrieve the Soul Stabilizing Grass … According to what I know, it's best to refine many herbs as soon as they're plucked. Only in that way can we fully display its medicinal properties."
Lu Rui voiced his concerns, "Elder Duan, is there a need to pay attention to the Soul Stabilizing Grass? If not, I will immediately go find Elder Zhi and ask him to go with that person and retrieve the 'Soul Stabilizing Grass'. "
"It's normal for you to have such concerns. However, you're only talking about ordinary herbs … Soul Stabilizing Grass can't be compared to ordinary herbs. "
Duan Lingtian said.
The Soul-stabilizing Grass and the Immortal Spirit Grass he obtained from Emperor Wu's Secret Treasure were not ordinary herbs.
Of course, compared to the Soul Stabilizing Grass, the Immortal Spirit Grass was much more precious.
The Immortal Spirit Grass was, after all, a legendary herb. Even the Reincarnation Emperor Wu had never seen one in his two lifetimes.
As for the Soul Stabilizing Grass, Reincarnation Emperor Wu had seen it a few times.
"In that case, I'll go find Elder Zhi now."
After Lu Rui finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Patriarch!"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian stopped Lu Rui.
"Is there anything else, Elder Duan? If it's about the Soul Stabilizing Grass, you can rest assured. If Elder Zhi makes a move, it won't be difficult for him to obtain the Soul Stabilizing Grass. "
Lu Rui looked at Duan Lingtian with a puzzled expression before he reassured Duan Lingtian.
"Patriarch, I don't doubt Elder Zhi's strength … I just want to go with Elder Zhi to retrieve the Soul Stabilizing Grass."
Duan Lingtian revealed his plan.
He had been staying in the Lu Clan's mansion recently. Coupled with the fact that he had been cultivating for the past few days, he wanted to go out and relax.
Of course, most importantly, he wanted to see if there were any other Heaven and Earth treasures in the place where the Soul Stabilizing Grass grew.
"According to the Reincarnation Emperor Wu's memory, the Soul Stabilizing Grass is an extremely rare herb. The place where the Soul Stabilizing Grass grows must have a good environment … That kind of environment is suitable for many Heaven and Earth treasures to grow."
Duan Lingtian's heart skipped a beat. His eyes lit up, and a hint of anticipation appeared on his face.
In his opinion, he had been very lucky ever since he came to the Lu Clan.
First, he obtained the Soul Fixing Root from the Lu Clan. Then, he obtained news of the Soul Stabilizing Grass.
This time, he was going to retrieve the Soul Stabilizing Grass with Lu Zhi. Perhaps, he might really encounter other Heaven and Earth treasures.
"Elder Duan, you're going with us?"
Lu Rui was stunned.
"Why? Is there a problem? "
Duan Lingtian asked.
"There's no problem … I'm just concerned about your safety, Elder Duan. Unfortunately, Elder Yuan and Elder Gui went out a few days ago. They'll only be back in half a month. "
When Lu Rui reached this part of the sentence, he said with a worried expression on his face.
"Isn't there still Elder Zhi?"
Duan Lingtian felt warm in his heart. He shook his head and said with a smile, "With Elder Zhi around, are you still worried that something will happen to me? Besides, is there anyone who dares to offend the Lu Clan in the Northern Mountain Land? "
Duan Lingtian felt Lu Rui's concern had caused him to panic.
However, he could understand why Lu Rui would do that.
After all, in Lu Rui's eyes, not only was he a grade one alchemist who could refine grade one pills with more than 90% purity, but he was also a future Martial Monarch powerhouse.
He could not afford to lose him.
"That's true."
Lu Rui nodded awkwardly when he heard Duan Lingtian's words. He also realized he had caused himself to panic.
In the Northern Mountain Land, only the Ou Clan was qualified to be compared to the Lu Clan. The other second-rate forces were not even enough to fill the gaps between the Lu Clan's teeth.
Those second-rate forces only had one Martial Monarch powerhouse each. Their strength was not comparable to any of the three great Guardian Elders of the Lu Clan.
"I'll go with you."
When Duan Lingtian and Lu Rui walked out of the main hall together, a cold voice entered their ears. They could not help but shudder.
When they turned their heads to look, they saw a silhouette that looked like a fire elf standing nearby.
It was a red-clad lady with a face that could topple a nation. The only flaw was that her face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. Her entire body was emitting a cold aura that repelled people thousands of miles away.
Even if it was just a short sentence, it seemed to be able to freeze the air around her.
"Tian Wu!"
With just a glance, Duan Lingtian recognized the red-clad lady. He asked in surprise, "Why did you come out?"
"I'll go with you."
Feng Tianwu did not answer Duan Lingtian's question. She repeated what she said earlier. Her tone was still indifferent, but it was not as cold as before.
"Let's go together if you want to."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
"Alright."
After receiving Duan Lingtian's consent, Feng Tianwu who was emitting a cold aura flew forward and followed Duan Lingtian like a shadow.
"You must be Miss Tian Wu, right? I'm Lu Rui, the Clan Leader of Lu Clan. "
Lu Rui greeted Feng Tianwu with a smile.
Although he had seen Feng Tianwu in the past, Feng Tianwu was lying in the ice coffin. They did not have any interaction at all.
Now that he saw Feng Tianwu in person, he did not dare to neglect her.
This was because he had learned about Feng Tianwu from Duan Lingtian's servant girl. He knew that the Soul-fixing Root and Soul-stabilizing Grass that Elder Duan was looking for were for her.
It was obvious that Elder Duan valued this lady a lot. Naturally, he did not dare to neglect her.
This lady might become Emperor Wu's woman in the future!
She was not someone he could offend.
However, Feng Tianwu completely ignored Lu Rui when he took the initiative to greet her. She did not even raise her eyebrows. She completely ignored Lu Rui.
Lu Rui felt a little awkward at that moment.
"Elder Duan, let's go look for Elder Zhi."
In order to cover up the awkwardness, Lu Rui quickly greeted Duan Lingtian and led the way out of the mansion.
"Tian Wu, let's go as well."
Duan Lingtian called out to Feng Tianwu and followed Lu Rui.
Feng Tianwu did not reply. She merely followed Duan Lingtian silently as though she was Duan Lingtian's shadow.
Soon after, Duan Lingtian met Lu Zhi, one of the three Lu Clan's Guardian Elders, under Lu Rui's lead.
"Elder Duan."
When Lu Zhi saw Duan Lingtian again, he greeted Duan Lingtian enthusiastically.
There was a hint of respect in the depth of this old man's eyes. It was respect for Duan Lingtian.
A few days ago, he had already found out that this Elder Duan could refine grade one pills with a purity of 90% and above. It could be said that he was utterly impressed by him.
"Elder Zhi."
Duan Lingtian also greeted Lu Zhi with a smile on his face.
"This must be Miss Tian Wu, right?"
Lu Zhi's eyes quickly landed on Feng Tianwu who was standing next to Duan Lingtian. He greeted Feng Tianwu with a smile.
Upon seeing this, the corner of Lu Rui's mouth twitched slightly. A smirk appeared on his face.
In his opinion.
Feng Tianwu would ignore Elder Zhi just like how she ignored him earlier. Elder Zhi was destined to be defeated.
However, the smile on his face soon froze.
"You're very strong."
He noticed that Feng Tianwu had spoken! She had spoken to Lu Zhi!
The scene before his eyes completely shattered the illusion in his heart.
"Thank you for your compliment, Miss Tian Wu."
Upon hearing Feng Tianwu's words, Lu Zhi replied politely. It was obvious he knew the relationship between Feng Tianwu and Duan Lingtian was close.
"Elder Zhi, you'll go with Elder Duan and Miss Tian Wu this time …"
At this moment, Lu Rui looked at Lu Zhi and told him everything that had happened.
"No problem!"
Lu Zhi agreed right away. He then looked at Duan Lingtian. "Congratulations, Elder Duan. You've found what you want."
"We haven't gotten the thing yet."
Duan Lingtian shook his head lightly and said, "We should depart as soon as possible. I'm afraid something might happen if we delay."
"I can depart now," Lu Zhi said.
"Alright.
I'll bring you to that person and ask him to bring you to the Soul Stabilizing Herb. "
Upon hearing the urgency in Duan Lingtian's voice, Lu Rui did not hesitate and went straight to the point. He brought the three Duan Lingtian and Duan Lingtian to the place where the informant was placed.
Soon after, a short, wretched-looking middle-aged man with a missing front tooth appeared before Duan Lingtian.
"Third Level Void Transformation."
Duan Lingtian's Spiritual Energy immediately probed the wretched-looking middle-aged man's cultivation base.
"Wow! Beautiful! "
The wretched-looking middle-aged man's gaze swept past Duan Lingtian, Lu Rui, and Lu Zhi before it landed on Feng Tianwu. He could no longer move his gaze away as he cried out loudly.
"I'll gouge your eyes out if you keep looking."
