"Don't stand on ceremony. You're very good. As a rogue cultivator, you've achieved so much in just seven years. You're even better than many disciples of the Immortal Palace who have been carefully trained. This time, you've even defeated the Ancient Sword Sect and the Qingdan Palace. You've made us proud, "Lei Wantian said pleasantly.
"Thank you for your praise, Ancestor Lei." Lu Xiaotian thought to himself, "These two Ancestors didn't call me here just to praise me. They must have other business to talk about. As for the reward of the sect, it has been decided. There is no need to call me here to talk about it, let alone two people at the same time." Lu Xiaotian's heart skipped a beat. Was it because of his Foundation-laying Elixir? They didn't know him before, but now they knew when he entered the sect. It seemed that they had checked his information, but he didn't know how.
"Lu Xiaotian, this time you've made a great contribution to the Immortal Palace. The number of Foundation-laying Elixirs you've exchanged is beyond everyone's expectation. There will be a lot of leftover Foundation-laying Elixirs in your hands. Do you have any plans to deal with the leftover Foundation-laying Elixirs?" Huo Yuming went straight to the point.
Sure enough, Lu Xiaotian understood. He cupped his hands and said, "My aptitude is poor. I'm afraid I'll need a lot of Foundation-laying Elixirs to build my foundation. As for how much I'll save after building my foundation, I haven't thought about how to deal with it yet."
Huo Yuming said, "Well, it's reasonable to say that these Foundation-laying Elixirs were exchanged with your life, and others have no right to interfere with their specific use. However, considering that the Foundation-laying Elixirs are related to the rise and fall of a sect, they can't be lost to other places. Even if you want to exchange them for other spiritual objects, you can only do it in the Divine Cloud Palace. You have to understand this."
"Yes, thank you for your reminder. I'll keep it in mind," Lu Xiaotian nodded and said.
Lei Wantian and Huo Yuming looked at each other, and a trace of surprise flashed across their faces. Obviously, they didn't expect that Lu Xiaotian could be so calm in front of them.
"Well, we also have a lot of children who are about to reach the age of building their foundation. You must have a lot of Foundation-Building Pills on you. Let's see if you can give some to us. Of course, we won't let you suffer a loss. We can take out something of equal value in exchange. What do you think? " Since Lu Xiaotian was able to keep his cool, Lei Wantian knew that they had no choice but to open their mouths. Thus, he directly pointed out the problem.
"Junior still lacks some means to protect himself, defend himself, or escape. I wonder if Ancestor has any such treasures?"
Lu Xiaotian smiled inwardly when he heard the two of them speak. They were both trading, but he could only take the initiative by letting the other party propose. Since he could exchange so many Foundation-laying Elixirs, he was afraid that he would soon cause a sensation in the Divine Cloud Palace. What followed would be a large number of ill-intentioned people. The Foundation-laying Elixir was such an important treasure, but it was in the hands of an ordinary cultivator. How could he not be coveted by others? Even if he had successfully built his foundation, he would still become the target of others. After all, there were hundreds of cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm in the entire Divine Cloud Palace, and they all needed Foundation-laying Elixirs for their juniors. Even the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm in the Divine Cloud Palace would have some ideas about him, not to mention the cultivators from other sects outside the Divine Cloud Palace. These people might not be polite to him. Therefore, it was most important for him to have some life-saving means.
"I have two Thunder Pearls, which are equivalent to a blow from a cultivator at the early stage of Jin Dan. However, it was not easy to get these Thunder Pearls. How many Foundation-laying Elixirs do you think they are worth?" Although Lei Wantian wanted the Foundation-laying Elixirs, with his experience, how could he not see through Lu Xiaotian's thoughts? Naturally, he would not be led by the nose by Lu Xiaotian.
"Junior's knowledge is shallow. I've never even dreamed that I could have a Foundation Establishment Pill. I've never even come into contact with a treasure that is equivalent to a Gold Core cultivator's attack. Naturally, I don't know its value. Ancestor Lei's rich experience and knowledge are far from what junior can compare with. I believe that Ancestor Lei won't let junior suffer too much of a loss. Just casually give me an approximate price." Lu Xiaotian said modestly.
Lei Wantian was shocked. Originally, he wanted to let Lu Xiaotian make a bid, but he did not expect this guy to kick the ball back to him. If people knew that he, a Ancestor of Jin Dan, was bullying a disciple in the Qi Refining Realm who had made great contributions to the Divine Cloud Palace, it would not be good. However, this guy was really too cunning.
"Well, the Thunder Pearls are quite powerful. It is reasonable to say that they are worth more than Foundation-laying Elixirs. However, they are not easy to get. Even if you succeed in building your foundation in the future, the Thunder Pearls are a rare life-saving means. From this point of view, the Thunder Pearls are particularly precious. Except for you, Ancestor Lei, who is a thunder cultivator, who can occasionally get it, even the other Jin Dan cultivators in the Divine Cloud Palace, including me, do not have such a treasure. Two Thunder Pearls for eight Foundation-laying Elixirs. You should not suffer a loss. " Huo Yuming felt that it was a waste of time to kick the ball back and forth, so he directly set the price.
"Not at all, not at all. Thank you for your help, Ancestor. " Lu Xiaotian hurriedly thanked them. Originally, he was already prepared to bleed a little, but now it seemed that these two Gold Core stage ancestors were also reasonable. Just as Huo Yuming said, according to the spirit stones, he might have suffered a little loss, but for him, two Thunder Pearls were equivalent to two more chances to save his life. It was far from being comparable to eight Foundation-laying Elixirs. He still had a lot of Spiritual Herbs in the Bounded Domain. Even if he did not have Foundation-laying Elixirs, he could refine them himself.
Lei Wantian and Huo Yuming were generally fair, and Lu Xiaotian was also tactful. The following transaction was much smoother without the previous probing.
After half an hour, Lu Xiaotian left the small pavilion on the Flying Kite Warship with satisfaction.
"We two old men almost let a little guy in the Qi Refining stage empty our pockets. I'm afraid no one would believe us if we told them." After Lu Xiaotian left, Lei Wantian calculated his belongings in the Space Ring and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"For the sake of the juniors in our respective families, we have no choice. But this transaction is also worth it. Even if we don't give it to the kids in our families, we can still make a profit by selling it. As for Lu Xiaotian, although he is young, his temperament is really rare. He is unfazed by favor and humiliation. When facing us two old men, he can still advance and retreat as he pleases. If not for his poor aptitude, I would have taken him as a personal disciple. "Huo Yuming thought of Lu Xiaotian's performance and sighed with a face full of pity.
"Yes, with such poor aptitude, it is reasonable to say that if he wants to cultivate to the peak of the Qi Refining stage, he will need to be at least seventy or eighty years old. Even if he spends his whole life, he may not be able to do it. However, he was still able to reach such a level within seven years, and was even able to suppress the Ancient Sword Sect's Yuan Hao. It seems that this little guy also has a lot of secrets. "
Lei Wantian also felt that it was a pity. Although he was not very strict when it came to accepting disciples, he could not let their aptitude be too poor. Moreover, he was a thunder cultivator. In the Spirit Firmament Palace, he already had a disciple he liked. Lu Xiaotian was not on his list.
"Who doesn't have secrets? It's just that he obtained a cultivator's treasure and used a large number of spirit stones and elixirs to forcibly increase his cultivation. Or maybe he has some kind of elixir that can improve his cultivation. But on the path of cultivation, the most taboo thing is to have an unstable foundation. At the Foundation Establishment stage, elixirs that can make one's cultivation soar are like poisons. Moreover, with his aptitude, it is already very lucky for him to be able to successfully build his foundation in this lifetime. How could he be able to eat Jin Dan like Foundation Establishment Elixirs like beans? "Huo Yuming shook his head and said.
"That's true. This little guy also went through fire and water to get to where he is today. Although his family is quite rich, it is all because he exchanged his life for it. "Lei Wantian nodded.
After leaving the small pavilion, Lu Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief. It was not easy to make a deal with two Jin Dan Patriarchs. But he was still very satisfied with his gains this time. Apart from the ten Foundation Establishment Elixirs that he kept for himself, the rest were all exchanged for treasures and spirit stones that could be used to save his life. For example, the Lightning Bead that could be used to save his life and the Thousand Mile Godly Travel Talisman that could be used to escape. He also had a set of body tempering cultivation methods and a large number of body tempering materials.
In Huo Yuming's words, he was originally reluctant to take out these things, but none of his descendants could withstand the pain of body tempering, so there was no use in keeping them. Huo Yuming also sold many of the spirit objects that he used in the Foundation Establishment stage to Lu Xiaotian. The cultivation methods also included many of Huo Yuming's body tempering experiences, which were very precious. Lu Xiaotian was very clear about his own potential. Once he entered the Foundation Establishment stage, he would quickly become an ordinary member of the Foundation Establishment stage. Fortunately, his gains from the Blood Colored Forbidden Area were not small. With a certain foundation, he did not need to start from scratch like he did in the Qi Refining stage. Apart from this, he also exchanged a large number of spirit stones from Huo Yuming and Lei Wantian, including a few high-grade spirit stones and a large number of mid-grade spirit stones.
It could be said that the spirit objects he had on him were not something that ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators could compare to. However, Lu Xiaotian was also clear that with his aptitude, he would need to put in more effort than others to increase his cultivation. He would need a large number of high-grade pills. Although he seemed to have a lot of spirit stones on him, once he successfully entered the Foundation Establishment stage, the amount of spirit objects he would need to increase his cultivation by several times compared to cultivators of the same stage. It might not be enough to support him until he reached the late stage of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Of course, the Foundation Establishment Elixirs could only be distributed after he returned to the sect. The spirit stones and treasures exchanged by the two Jin Dan ancestors had already been given to him, so when the time came to distribute the Foundation Establishment Elixirs, they would directly deduct them. This was also because the strength of the two sides was not comparable, so the other party was not worried that he would betray them.
After several life and death tribulations, the Qi Refining disciples on the Flying Kite Warship sighed with emotion. Many of their acquaintances had died in the Blood Colored Forbidden Area. After a while, they began to talk and laugh, their eyes full of longing for the future. Except for a few cultivators, the others had basically received spirit objects to exchange for Foundation Establishment Elixirs. After returning to the Spirit Cloud Palace, they could all try to enter the Foundation Establishment stage. Perhaps because they had survived a disaster, the seniors in the Foundation Establishment stage did not stop them, so the Qi Refining disciples on the warship were more relaxed.
"Brother Lu, you are really amazing. In the future, I will rely on Brother Lu to protect me in the Spirit Cloud Palace." Peng Dayong looked at Lu Xiaotian with admiration, as if he was looking at a high mountain. He did not hide the intention to flatter him from the bottom of his heart. He knew that Lu Xiaotian was amazing, but he never expected that it was far beyond his imagination. Moreover, Lu Xiaotian had so many Foundation Establishment Elixirs, so there was no doubt that he would enter the Foundation Establishment stage.
"That's right, Senior Martial Brother Lu. I heard them say that it was because Senior Martial Brother Lu led the team that they were able to harvest so many spirit items. Unfortunately, I didn't have that luck and was separated from Senior Martial Brother Lu early on. Otherwise, I would have been able to exchange a few more Foundation Establishment Pills.
Tian Jing said with pity. In the beginning, it was her and Bai Guanjie's group of disciples who were with Lu Xiaotian. In the early days when Lu Xiaotian led the team, they had survived several dangers and gained a lot. Later, they were forced to separate because of bad luck. They happened to be caught in a predicament of being attacked from the front and back.
"Compared with those who died, our luck is pretty good. If you have anything to say, you can talk about it after returning to the Spirit Cloud Palace. Maybe you can enter the Foundation Establishment stage before me. "Lu Xiaotian shrugged and smiled.
"Brother Lu, you're always so humble. But too much humility is arrogance." Oh Yeon walked over with a smile like a flower. She felt uncomfortable being surrounded by several male cultivators, so she decided to stay by Lu Xiaotian's side and be quiet.
Several male cultivators who were interested in Oh Yeon saw her walking together with Lu Xiaotian and could not help but hesitate. But in the end, they did not come over. Lu Xiaotian smiled in his heart. It was true that strength was respected. If these people did not know that he had defeated Yuan Hao and suppressed the top disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect and the Green Pill Palace, and made a great contribution to the Spirit Cloud Palace, perhaps they would not be so polite to him.
The speed of the Flying Kite Warship was even faster than before. Perhaps it was because the Aura Refining disciples were eager to return home, but when they saw the familiar mountain range and the Divine Firmament Palace's main hall in the distance, they couldn't help cheering.
At this time, many people were waiting in the square of the Main Hall of the Spirit Cloud Palace. In fact, before the Flying Kite Warship came back, Lei Wantian and Huo Yuming had explained the situation through the Voice-transmitting Charm. The family members who died did not come to the square of the Main Hall to welcome them, so as to avoid the sad atmosphere. Those who could come to the square of the Main Hall at this time all had relatives on the warship.
"Dad!"
"Grandpa!"
On the warship, disciples such as Su Qing, Luo Qian, and Hu Jianming excitedly greeted their relatives below the warship.
Peng Dayong and Lu Xiaotian, who had no relatives, could not help but feel emotional when they saw this scene.
"We've been out for so long. I don't know when we'll have time to go back to our hometown to see our parents and siblings." Tian Jing said with red eyes.
"Yes, I didn't think so before, but now I miss them." Peng Dayong also felt emotional.
Recalling the past, Lu Xiaotian's thoughts also drifted to the Northern Liang Kingdom, which was thousands of miles away. More than ten years had passed in a flash. He did not know whether his family was well or not. But he was very determined, so he quickly put away his nostalgia and said with a smile, "After we reach the Zhuji Realm, we can finally relax for a while. At that time, we can go back and see how our family lives."
