After obtaining the Shell Clear Grass, he had solved the final obstacle of body refinement. At this moment, his body was much stronger than before. Once the power of the lightning was removed, his strength would increase tremendously. Of course, although he could only release an attack equivalent to a middle stage Qi Condensation cultivator, his secondary primordial spirit had already recovered with the help of the Soul Nourishing Pill.
Moreover, after using the Seven Stars Formation to kill Yue Song and obtaining his centipede puppet, he could also control the puppet to fight. His battle prowess was not inferior to an average Foundation Establishment cultivator. After more than half a year of research, his control over puppets had also improved greatly. In addition to the centipede puppet, there were also a few late stage and peak stage Qi Condensation low level puppets in the storage pouches of Yue Song and the waxen middle-aged man.
Since his injuries had not yet healed, Lu Xiaotian did not plan to continue traveling for the time being.
His days at the horse farm were particularly comfortable. The people at the horse farm knew that although Lu Xiaotian was young, he was a hidden expert. Originally, Chi Kun and his sister only knew a few basic martial arts skills and could not even be considered as Jianghu practitioners. After half a year, their martial arts had already reached a high level. The people in charge of rearing the horses were envious and jealous. They wanted to take Lu Xiaotian as their master, but usually, they could not even see Lu Xiaotian's face before being dragged out by Chi Lin. At this time, these people also understood that Lu Xiaotian did not come into contact with the imaginations of many people. Therefore, they could only sigh helplessly and sigh at how lucky the Chi siblings were.
Chi Kun and Chi Lin were also somewhat different. Although Chi Kun was the older brother, after his martial arts became successful, he preferred the outside world and ran to the provincial capital every few days. Every time he came back, he would bring back a large pile of things and excitedly tell Chi Lin about how bustling and lively the streets of the provincial capital were. Chi Lin, on the other hand, preferred to stay by Lu Xiaotian's side and practice her martial arts. When Lu Xiaotian was not cultivating, he would also give Chi Lin pointers on swordsmanship on a whim. This caused Chi Lin to be a bit stronger when the two siblings fought.
Another two months passed. After Chi Kun cultivated for a period of time, he couldn't hold back his temper and ran to the county capital even more frequently. By nightfall, Chi Kun had returned, but he was accompanied by several hundred black-armored cavalry. The leader of the group was a middle-aged man whose aura was even colder than Chi Kun's. At first glance, one could tell that he was a veteran of battles and had killed countless people. Hundreds of awe-inspiring cavalrymen surrounded two luxurious eight-seater carriages in the middle.
The sound of horse hooves alerted everyone on the grassland. Chi Lin rushed out with a dagger in her hand, looking at the hundreds of armored cavalry with a wary expression. After seeing that Chi Kun was fine, he was temporarily relieved. But soon, Chi Lin frowned and asked, "Big Brother, what's going on? Why did you bring so many people to the horse farm?"
"Uh, I'm not the one who wants to bring these people here. The person who came is the boss. They, they want to see Master. "Chi Kun scratched his head and said awkwardly.
At this time, a jade-like hand lifted the curtain and a graceful and luxurious woman came down from the carriage. Following her was a young girl in her twenties, as beautiful as a peach. And from the other carriage came a white-haired old man with bright eyes. Next to him was a fifteen-sixteen year old girl with an ordinary appearance, but exceptionally calm. In addition, there was also a potbellied monk wearing a monk's robe.
Although these three people did not have a strong aura, Chi Kun looked at them with fear. Originally, he thought that with his martial arts, few people could compare to his master and sister. But he didn't expect that after the monk attacked, he would be captured without any resistance. Listening to Madam Xiao's address, the fat monk, the old man, and the young girl seemed to be immortals. Could it be that they were the legendary immortals?
"Young Master Chi, this must be your sister. She is indeed a natural beauty, a beauty in the making. May I ask where your master is? I also want to see the other immortals. "
Madam Xiao said to Chi Kun generously. Although Chi Kun and his sister were hired by the Xiao family at the horse farm, the strength that they showed was not inferior to a peerless martial artist. Such talents in the Chi Xia county, or even the entire Wei country, except for those high and mighty immortals, were the top of all martial artists. With such strength, they naturally couldn't be treated as servants. Moreover, the two of them had a mysterious master behind them.
Madam Xiao was, after all, an aristocratic family with an inheritance. She was very amiable, and with a few simple words, she dispelled most of Chi Lin's hostility.
"My, my master, I still don't know if he wants to see you. I'll go ask him." Chi Lin hesitated for a moment. With so many people here, it didn't seem good to directly reject them. Moreover, this horse farm belonged to the Xiao family.
"You want us immortals to wait outside, and you still want to see if your master wants to see us. Your master is so arrogant." The fat monk said sarcastically and glanced at Chi Kun from the corner of his eyes. "Your sister is not sensible, but are you also not sensible? Why don't you go and ask your master to come out? "
"Master is not from the horse farm, why do you think you can see him just because you want to?" Chi Lin heard and immediately said angrily to the fat monk.
"Don't, sister, this immortal is very powerful." Chi Kun was shocked. He knew that the fat monk was powerful. Afraid that the fat monk would be unhappy, Chi Kun quickly got off his horse and pulled Chi Lin aside.
"You don't know how to appreciate kindness." The fat monk's face fell, and a shocking aura suddenly appeared from his body. The monk's robe on his body fluttered without wind, and the aura of his Dharmic powers made the hundreds of war horses restless. These war horses had undergone strict training, and would not be in such a situation even on the battlefield.
Chi Kun and his sister, who were in the center of the whirlpool and directly faced the fat monk's aura, turned pale.
"You should be the one who doesn't know how to appreciate kindness." A faint voice sounded, and two huge black shadows descended from the sky. One was a wooden man with a pair of wings on its back, and was about ten feet tall. However, its body was unusually agile. There was also another black shadow. It was a similarly tall, dark, and heavy giant bear.
The wooden man was not so bad, as it had a pair of wings, and its movements were agile and quick. However, the black bear was made of a kind of copper, and was incomparably heavy. Each of its movements caused the ground to tremble slightly. The two puppets, one in front and one behind, sandwiched the fat monk, the old man, and the young girl in the middle.
The appearance of the two puppets caused the fat monk's aura to suddenly stop. Chi Kun and Chi Lin felt their bodies lighten.
"Fat monk, you are the one who provoked them. Don't count us, grandfather and grandson, in."
The old man hurriedly pulled the young girl to the side. Seeing that the two puppets did not obstruct them, he could not help but feel relieved. At the same time, he also took pleasure in the fat monk's misfortune. Although the fat monk was usually very arrogant, his cultivation was only at the fifth level of qi refining. Facing these puppets that were between the second and third level, he was afraid that he would be in for a good show.
"Master!" Seeing Lu Xiaotian come out of the room, Chi Lin cried out and retreated behind him. Although she was very surprised by the appearance of these two monsters, in Chi Lin's heart, this young master of hers was naturally omnipotent.
When these people saw Chi Lin calling a young man master, the several hundred people present were endlessly shocked. Such a young person was actually able to make this rather arrogant fat immortal break out in cold sweat.
"This immortal elder, this lowly concubine is the Xiao Clan's Patriarch. This fat immortal elder and these two immortal elders are the Xiao Clan's honored guests. Fat immortal elder is a person of temperament, if his words have offended you, please forgive him. " When Madam Xiao saw that the atmosphere was somewhat tense, she secretly blamed the fat monk for causing trouble. However, she could not let the situation continue to develop in a bad direction, so she could only brace herself and stand out.
"Yes, yes, this monk has always been outspoken. If I have offended you just now, please forgive me. This is a small token of my appreciation, consider it a little compensation for your disciple."
The situation was stronger than the person. He did not expect that the other party was actually such a powerful puppet master. Controlling two puppets at the same time, it was already somewhat difficult for him to deal with one of them, let alone two. Moreover, he could not sense the depth of Lu Xiaotian's cultivation at all. The fat monk could not help but inwardly curse his cheap mouth. It seemed that he had been with these secular mortals for too long and had developed an arrogant temper. Now, he had finally kicked an iron plate. The fat monk took out a low-grade spirit sword with a pained expression and looked at Lu Xiaotian and Chi Lin ingratiatingly.
The cavalry present could not help but click their tongues in amazement. This was the first time they had seen the usually arrogant fat monk act so humbly.
"I don't want what you're giving me." Chi Lin raised her head and said.
The fat monk's face was immediately filled with embarrassment, and he looked at Lu Xiaotian ingratiatingly. Although they had many people, in a battle between cultivators, secular mortals could not help. As for the grandfather and grandson of the Zhao Clan, they were not on the same side as him.
"Take it, it will be beneficial for you in the future." Lu Xiaotian glanced at the fat monk. The spirit sword that he took out was of the lowest grade. Even a second or third layer Qi Refining cultivator might not be interested in it, but for a secular cultivator, it was already a rare divine weapon. He had some spirit weapons on him, but their grades were too high. An ordinary man's wealth was his own ruin. Giving it to Chi Lin and her sister would only bring disaster to them. The spirit sword that the fat monk took out was just right.
"Yes, Master." Hearing this, Chi Lin took back the cyan short sword. She unsheathed it and saw that it was unusually sharp. Her eyes could not help but flash with joy. From the bottom of her heart, she quite liked this sword.
"Senior Immortal, Chi Xia County's Grey Hawk Ridge has had strange occurrences since the meteorite fell from the sky half a year ago. Until now, the entire Grey Hawk Ridge is unbearably hot, and this heat is spreading to the surrounding areas. This year, many people did not harvest a single grain. If this problem is not solved before spring plowing next year, I'm afraid the entire Chi Xia County's millions of people will fall into a famine. When that time comes, starving people will be everywhere, and the people will be in a terrible situation. It's just that the disaster in Chi Xia County is not something that can be solved by ordinary mortals. This lowly concubine has been ordered by the current Regent to search for cultivators. I hope that this Senior Immortal will spare no effort and see if he can help us solve this disaster. "
Seeing that Lu Xiaotian had no intention of doing anything, Madam Xiao sighed in relief and explained her purpose in coming. Worried that Lu Xiaotian would refuse, Madam Xiao added, "If Senior Immortal agrees, we will provide Senior Immortal with three low-grade spirit stones every month. If you can solve the disaster, we will reward you handsomely. "
"You can provide spirit stones?" Lu Xiaotian was slightly surprised.
"Fellow Daoist, you may not know, but the Wei Kingdom rules over hundreds of millions of people and collects countless rare treasures. It is a rare country. In the Wei Kingdom's royal family, there are also many immortal cultivators, but many of them have already gone to the major immortal sects. They are not comparable to us itinerant cultivators. The Wei Kingdom is vast, and every county can more or less collect a portion of spirit stones or other spiritual items every year. "The fat monk snorted, as if he did not take the previous unhappiness to heart.
"Alright, then let's go take a look." Lu Xiaotian hesitated for a moment before agreeing. According to his original intention, he did not want to participate in any disputes before his injuries were fully healed. It was naturally good to be able to peacefully cultivate in the horse farm, but this peace was broken. As the saying goes, small hermits hide in the forest, big hermits hide in the city. Since the Xiao Clan and a few other low-level immortal cultivators had already come looking for him, he would not hesitate to reject them. If he directly rejected them, they would remember it.
Why not join the other party? In the eyes of these people, he was just a slightly stronger Mechanical Puppet Master. This would not hinder him from continuing to recuperate. As for safety, as long as he did not encounter a freak like the green-armored skeleton, there should not be any loopholes. Moreover, his secondary primordial spirit had already recovered. After using the Seven Stars Array once, Lu Xiaotian was very confident.
"Master, are you leaving the horse farm?" Chi Lin asked reluctantly. She was not shocked by Lu Xiaotian's identity as an immortal. In her eyes, Lu Xiaotian had always been omnipotent. After being together for nearly a year, Lu Xiaotian was actually leaving. Chi Lin was very upset.
Chi Kun opened his mouth, but did not know what to say. He was also flustered.
"You two siblings do not have the talent for immortal cultivation. This is all I can teach you. All good things must come to an end. In the future, whether you want to enter an official career or be a carefree wild crane, you have to consider in your hearts. "
Lu Xiaotian looked at the Chi siblings and sighed in his heart. From the moment Madam Xiao brought the cavalry and a few immortal cultivators to the horse farm, their fate had come to an end. Originally, he was going to leave after his injuries were healed, but this time was brought forward.
"You two siblings are very strong. At such a young age, you are already peerless martial artists. No matter where you go, you will be highly valued. If Young Master Chi and Young Miss Chi are interested in an official career and do not mind that the Xiao family is too small, I can help. "
Madam Xiao said gently. If not for Lu Xiaotian's presence, she would have directly offered a large sum of money to recruit them. Now, she did not want to go overboard. After all, she did not know what Lu Xiaotian was thinking. However, after this matter, she would definitely have someone send over a generous gift. There were only a few peerless martial artists in the entire Scarlet Cloud County. Even if she could not recruit them, she would try her best to form a friendship.
