(Happy New Year, my dear readers. I'm a little busy today. I'll be back soon. I wish all of you good health and good luck in the New Year.)
The expression in her eyes was no different from that of Jin Yan's as the other female attendants who came to receive customers who entrusted them with alchemy. It was because Lu Xiaotian had defeated Hua Muchen at Hualin Dojo some time ago. Not only was the boss in front of them extremely talented in alchemy, but he was also far superior to them in terms of cultivation.
"Mm." Lu Xiaotian nodded. Jin Yan and the other female attendants were no longer surprised by this. It was rare to see this boss.
More than a year ago, Jin Yan had quit her job at the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion and joined the Nameless Pill Store. After all, she was best friends with Hong Yue. During this time, Du Ming and Hong Yue were both preparing for the Soul Formation Heavenly Tribulation. Jin Yan was in charge of all the affairs, and she handled them with ease. When Du Ming was not around, she completely replaced him as the chief steward of the Nameless Pill Store.
"Mr. Lu is so cool." Not long after Lu Xiaotian walked out of the pill store, a maid behind him covered her chest with both hands and said.
"It's time to work. Why are you being so lovestruck?" Jin Yan snapped.
"Elixir King Lu, you look good today. It seems that your injuries have healed." Before Lu Xiaotian could walk out of the courtyard, a middle-aged man in a blue robe blocked Lu Xiaotian's path. "I'm He Fang, Wenyu's uncle. I heard that Wenyu and Elixir King Lu had some disagreements back then. It's our fault for not teaching him well."
"He Wenyu's attainments in alchemy are not bad. How can you say that we didn't teach him well?" Lu Xiaotian said indifferently. When he was in seclusion, people from the He Clan came to look for him several times. However, he rejected them all with the reason that he was in seclusion. Other than Zhu Jinfu and a few other acquaintances, Lu Xiaotian didn't see any outsiders. He didn't expect the He Clan to be so patient. They came to look for him as soon as he went out. Could it be that someone was waiting for him nearby?
"Well, Elixir King Lu, may I have a word with you? I've already prepared some wine in a nearby restaurant," He Fang said.
"If you have something to say, say it here. I have no relationship with your He Clan. If there's nothing else, you can step aside. "Lu Xiaotian shook his head, not giving the other party any face. ,
He Fang's expression froze. He didn't think that Lu Xiaotian wouldn't give him any face. However, he was also someone who wasn't valued in his family. His cultivation was only at the Soul Formation stage and he didn't have any achievements in alchemy or other fields. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been stationed here.
"Well, to tell you the truth, my He family hopes to bury the hatchet with Pill King Lu. After all, it was easier to make enemies than to resolve them. Back then, Wen Yu offended Pill King Lu. The He Clan is willing to compensate you with a generous gift. We hope that Pill King Lu can accept it. "
"Is that so? How generous are your gifts?" Lu Xiaotian's eyes were filled with surprise.
"Thirty thousand low-grade Spirit Crystals!" He Fang raised three fingers. He was only a mid-stage Soul Formation cultivator who wasn't valued much in his family. He wouldn't be able to accumulate such wealth in his entire life. However, what disappointed him was that Lu Xiaotian didn't even bat an eyelid.
"Looks like your He Clan's sincerity isn't that great. Back then, I spent more than thirty thousand low-grade Spirit Crystals to save that disciple of mine." Lu Xiaotian snorted coldly and left He Fang behind. "I still have things to do now. Go back and tell the person in charge that it's best if they think about how much they'll have to pay before I'm done with these trivial matters. Otherwise, I'll personally go and get it. It'll be more than that. "
Hearing this, He Fang's expression changed drastically. However, Lu Xiaotian didn't bother with him. In the blink of an eye, he was already far away.
"This is the Qingyuan Pavilion that Zhu Jinfu mentioned." Lu Xiaotian looked at the huge palace-like building in front of him.
Just as he walked in and reached the door, he bumped into a familiar face. It was the City Lord's Mansion's Deacon Yang Feng. Lu Xiaotian immediately bowed. "Deacon Yang."
"So it's Elixir King Lu. Since you're a second-grade Elixir King, you don't have to bow to me. It looks like after this period of recuperation, your injuries are almost healed. "Yang Feng looked at Lu Xiaotian and smiled." Just in time. I also have something to talk to you about. "
After saying that, Yang Feng turned to a middle-aged woman who was accompanying him. "Daoist Jiang, can I borrow your guest's place?"
"So it is Elixir King Lu who has come in person. Even if Deacon Yang does not want to lend it to us, our Qingyuan Pavilion will still treat you as a distinguished guest." Jiang Liqing smiled and led Lu Xiaotian and Yang Feng to a picturesque stone pavilion in the backyard. "Take your time to chat."
"May I know what Deacon Yang wants to talk to me about?" Lu Xiaotian asked.
"I wouldn't dare to talk to you about anything. However, Miss Zi Yu might be making a trip there soon. It's not convenient for us Divine Illusionary Realm experts to enter that place. We can only escort her along the way. Although Miss Zi Yu's cultivation talent is outstanding, her realm is not high after all. She needs a few Divine Transformation cultivators with decent strength to protect her. You're one of the candidates I'm looking for. "
Yang Feng said bluntly. "This is the City Lord's Mansion's idea. Elixir King Lu, please consider it carefully. If you can enter that secret realm, it'll be an excellent opportunity for you to improve your strength."
"Can Deacon Yang tell me which secret realm it is? I'll probably run into some danger. Even if I can make the trip, I'll still need to make some preparations. "Lu Xiaotian said.
"Anguish Valley." Yang Feng said.
"Anguish Valley?" Lu Xiaotian was slightly surprised. That place was indeed very dangerous. Especially for Divine Transformation cultivators, it could be said to be a place with a slim chance of survival.
"For Divine Transformation cultivators, it's indeed a little dangerous. However, it also depends on who you're dealing with." Yang Feng said.
"Apart from me, who else is going with you?" Lu Xiaotian asked.
"We haven't confirmed all the members yet. There will always be a few of the thirty-six Hut Lords in Yuan Spirit City."
"Alright. Let me know before you leave." Lu Xiaotian nodded. He already suspected that Ye Ziyu was Joe Yu, but he couldn't be completely sure. After all, Ye Ziyu was the City Lord's daughter. Lu Xiaotian usually couldn't see her at all. It wouldn't be bad if he could use this opportunity to confirm her identity. It was just a trip to Anguish Valley. The City Lord probably wouldn't let Ye Ziyu take too many risks.
"Elixir King Lu is indeed straightforward. Oh right, there's one more thing I need to remind you of."
Yang Feng said. "Elixir King Lu, in view of your extraordinarily high battle strength after using the forbidden art, several arenas in Yuan Spirit City are very wary of you. Therefore, they jointly suggested to the City Lord's Mansion that you be banned from entering the arena. However, because the City Lord has been in seclusion all this time, this matter has been put on hold. However, as long as the City Lord comes out of seclusion, he'll most likely agree to this proposal. Therefore, you can't act like before anymore. "
"This matter hasn't been decided yet?" Lu Xiaotian asked.
"Not yet. The owners of the seven major arenas in Yuan Spirit City include the majority of the forces in Yuan Spirit City. There won't be any suspense about this matter. It's only a matter of time." Yang Feng said. "After all, the City Lord also needs the support of various forces. He can't offend everyone."
"Alright. Thank you for the reminder, Manager Yang." Lu Xiaotian nodded.
