Lu Xiaotian noticed that after Huang Li Gu said this, the other cultivators intentionally or unintentionally surrounded him. It seemed like they were afraid that the news would leak out. Once he showed any signs, he would immediately be killed.
He originally wanted to sneak out, but he did not expect that Zhou Tong would forbid the other cultivators of the Zhou Clan from entering and leaving as they pleased. It would not be easy to get out. Thus, he said, "You don't have to look at me. I wanted to leave long ago, but I've been wandering around in this Earth Flame Mountain like a maze. It's not easy to go to the exit, not to mention that the main exits are guarded by the direct descendants of the Zhou Clan. There might even be Foundation Establishment experts. Even if I want to sneak out, I'm afraid it won't be easy. "
"Naturally, Fellow Daoist Liu doesn't need to worry about this. I have my own way of getting out. As long as Fellow Daoist Liu is of the same mind as us, it's fine. "Huang Li Gu laughed.
"As long as you guys get out, count me in. I naturally won't be a burden." Seeing that Huang Li Gu was unwilling to explain, Lu Xiaotian shrugged. He had been looking for a while. If the other party had a way, it would be for the best.
"Fellow Daoist Liu just joined us not long ago. If we encounter any demonic beasts, Fellow Daoist Liu will naturally have to put in more effort." Mo Yousheng said.
"As long as you guys can bring me out, I won't take any spiritual items along the way. It's only right to fight with demonic beasts. Of course, if we encounter any demonic beasts that I can't face alone, you guys won't let me fight alone." Lu Xiaotian nodded.
"Haha, good. With Fellow Daoist Liu's words, it's enough." Huang Li Gu laughed when he heard this. After a while, he stopped. "This Earth Flame Mountain is so rich in spiritual energy. I'm afraid we'll find a spiritual mine sooner or later. When the time comes, if a cultivation sect comes, our situation will be even worse. Moreover, we've been in the Earth Flame Mountain for so long and we've already gained a lot. It's time to go. "
Under Huang Li Gu's guidance, Lu Xiaotian walked in front most of the time. In the middle, he killed a few demonic beasts and the materials he obtained were divided among these people. After circling around the Earth Flame Mountain for a few more days, they passed by a few Fire Bat nests. Hearing the countless Fire Bats flapping their wings, even Lu Xiaotian, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, was terrified. No matter how powerful he was, there was no way he could face tens of thousands of Fire Bats at the same time. Even if it was a Jin Dan cultivator, when faced with so many low-level demonic beasts, it would be like ants biting an elephant to death. Fortunately, Huang Li Gu and the others were experienced. After smearing some of the Fire Bat's feces on their bodies, although they were covered in an extremely unpleasant odor, they still managed to pass through without any mishaps.
After passing through a few Fire Bat nests, the group arrived at a place with relatively fewer rocks and mostly sandy soil. Huang Li Gu patted his Spirit Beast Pouch and released a Grade Two and a Grade Three spirit snake. They were yellow all over and looked like they were made of rocks.
"Rock Snake!" Lu Xiaotian's face lit up with joy. No wonder Huang Li Gu was so confident. The Rock Snake had an astonishing ability to drill into the ground and its ability to sense the soil and rocks was far superior to that of a normal cultivator.
"That's right, we were able to escape from the Earth Flame Mountain all because of my two Rock Snakes." Huang Li Gu revealed a proud expression.
The two Rock Snakes received the order and with a low growl, they drilled into the ground. Large amounts of new soil were continuously dug out. At the end of the digging, someone had to go down the hole to transport the new soil.
Half a month later, a small part of a mound near Earthfire Mountain suddenly caved in. An old man with sparse hair poked his head out from inside and looked around vigilantly. After confirming that there were no other Zhou Clan cultivators nearby for the time being, a group of six people with quite a bit of dirt crawled out from the holes in the ground.
"We're finally out. We've finally had enough of these rat-like days." Mo Yousheng climbed out and greedily inhaled a breath of air as he laughed.
"Shut up and be quiet. If we alarm the Zhou Clan cultivators, even if we grow a few more heads, it won't be enough to chop them off." Huang Li Gu and the others glared angrily at Mo Yousheng.
"We can't stay here for long. Let's go." Huang Li Gu said, but found that Lu Xiaotian had already shot away at lightning speed.
"This brat is quite alert. Should we stop him?" Mo Yousheng said with a ruthless expression.
"Don't do anything that complicates matters. He also put in a lot of effort along the way. Besides, if we alarm the Zhou Clan cultivators, we'll all be sacrificed. Besides, with this person's speed, you'll have to be able to catch up. "Huang Li Gu shook his head and for a moment, they went their separate ways.
Lu Xiaotian had heard their conversation clearly. He had never regarded them as a threat, but he was rather surprised that he could rely on them to escape from this place. Thus, he decided to pretend that this little episode had never happened. In order to avoid alarming Zhou Tong with strong mana fluctuations, he only used the cultivation level of the Qi Refining Stage. He did not even use the Art of Sword Flight to ensure his safety.
After escaping for hundreds of miles, Lu Xiaotian sent a message to the Spirit Firmament Palace about the Fire Spirit Stone Mine in the Earth Flame Mountain. As for whether the Spirit Firmament Palace could obtain a portion of the rights to the Spirit Stone Mine, it was not within his consideration.
After a few twists and turns, he finally escaped the whirlpool of battle in the Earth Flame Mountain. After a hundred miles, he flew on the Art of Sword Flight. In one breath, he flew for thousands of miles. Even with the means of Jin Dan cultivators, it was difficult to find him in the vast sea of people. He chose to settle down in a small town inn. After taking stock of this trip to the Earth Flame Mountain, although there were constant dangers, the rewards were also great. A complete body of a fire dragon that was equivalent to the early Jin Dan stage, as well as two Primordial Spirit Essences, one big and one small. The fire dragon's body was covered in scales that even his Earth Splitting Blade could not break through in a short period of time. The dragon's blood and flesh were enough for him to practice the Cross Training Golden Body to the realm equivalent to the Jin Dan stage.
However, what Lu Xiaotian found most unforgettable was the perfect harmony with Dongfang Yi. His cultivation also directly rose from the second level of Foundation Establishment to the third level of Foundation Establishment. Calculating the time, it had only been a year and a half since he left the Spirit Firmament Palace, but he had already changed from a cultivator who had just built Foundation Establishment to the third level. It was really like a dream. Unconsciously, Dongfang Yi's beautiful figure appeared in his mind. After a long time, Lu Xiaotian shook his head with a wry smile. The difference in status between the two of them was too great. At least for now, there was no hope for them to be together.
After several near-death experiences, Lu Xiaotian felt that his state of mind was becoming more mature again. After staying in this small town for ten days, Lu Xiaotian's tense nerves relaxed a little. Then, he set off again.
"What? A Fire Spirit Stone lode has appeared in Wei Kingdom! " Wei Litian received the Voice-transmitting Talisman presented by Wu Chengzu and was surprised. "It has been hundreds of years since a Spirit Stone lode has been found in a secular country. What is the reserve of this Fire Spirit Stone lode? "
"The Voice-transmitting Talisman did not mention the reserve of this Spirit Stone lode. Now the Earth Flame Mountain area of Wei Kingdom is controlled by the Jin Dan cultivator Zhou Tong, who has been wandering outside the Dark Ice Sect. It is already good that Lu Xiaotian could enter the Earth Flame Mountain and successfully send the news out."
Wu Chengzu explained. In any case, Lu Xiaotian was a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Green Lotus Peak Region. If the lode this time was large or medium, it would be a great contribution. As the Peak Master of the Green Lotus Peak Region, he naturally had some contributions. Therefore, his words naturally helped Lu Xiaotian a lot.
"Well, after Lu Xiaotian came out of the Forbidden Bloody Ground, I heard about him. His aptitude is not very good, but he has a lot of Foundation Establishment Elixirs. I originally thought that this person could only reach the Foundation Establishment realm, but I did not expect that he could make such a contribution to the Immortal Palace. The Divine Firmament Palace has not made any big moves for a long time. If it is really a medium or large Spirit Stone lode, I will definitely reward him well. " Wei Litian nodded. "How about this, I will discuss with a few Senior and Junior Brothers and see which Jin Dan cultivators to send out. We will take the Flying Kite Warship to take a look. As for the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement realm disciples, you can choose from the Green Lotus Peak Region. "
"Thank you, Palace Lord!" Wu Chengzu was overjoyed. With Wei Litian's arrangement, as long as the Fire Spirit Stone lode in the Earth Flame Mountain was true, the Green Lotus Peak Region would undoubtedly benefit the most.
"You don't have to thank me. These are what Lu Xiaotian and the Green Lotus Peak Region deserve. In the past few years, the missions of the Foundation Establishment disciples to travel outside the Immortal Gate have been ignored by the new Foundation Establishment cultivators. They treat traveling outside the Immortal Gate as a sightseeing tour. Sooner or later, there will be problems. We can take this opportunity to kill this evil trend. "Wei Litian waved his hand, and the shadow sitting on the stone chair gradually faded.
Wu Chengzu was shocked at first. He did not notice how Wei Litian left, but he knew that Wei Litian had gone to discuss with the other Jin Dan cultivators. Even though he knew that Wei Litian had left, Wu Chengzu still saluted the shadow on the stone chair, and then quickly returned to the Green Lotus Peak Region to arrange for the cultivators to go with the warship.
The Cold Northern Country was still a world of ice and snow. A golden sword light swept across the gray sky.
Below him was the Green Bamboo County. Most of the buildings of the Thunder Blade Sect, which used to be one of the top two sects in the Green Bamboo County, had turned into ruins and had yet to recover. It seemed that the destruction of the Green Bamboo County during the turmoil was more serious than he had imagined. After asking around, he found out that the Thunder Blade Sect's territory was occupied by a small sect called the Sea Shark Sect. The Thunder Blade Sect, after a small turmoil more than ten years ago, had disappeared without a trace. This sect no longer existed in the Jianghu.
There was nothing worth staying in the Green Bamboo County anymore. Lu Xiaotian followed his childhood memories and landed not far from Hushan Village after a while. It was almost noon, and there was already a column of smoke rising from the kitchen of a family having lunch.
Under the elm tree at the entrance of the village, two yellow dogs and one black dogs of different sizes were chasing each other in the snow. Seeing a strange young man in black coming from the entrance of the village, the dogs kept barking at Lu Xiaotian. Perhaps they felt that Lu Xiaotian was different from the other villagers, so they ran away with their tails between their legs after barking a few times.
The barking of the dogs alerted many people in the village. In such a cold and snowy place, there were very few strangers coming in and out. In addition, the current situation was not very peaceful. A few strong hunters came out with hunting forks and bows, but they were relieved when they saw only Lu Xiaotian.
"You, you are Little Tian!" Among the crowd, a few young hunters surrounded a strong warrior. The warrior in the lead was very strong, and he was pleasantly surprised when he saw Lu Xiaotian.
"Big Brother Qingshan!" Lu Xiaotian saw Shi Qingshan, and a smile appeared on his cold face.
"Little Tian, which Little Tian?" A strong young man next to him scratched his head and asked in confusion.
"Idiot, he is the second son of Third Uncle Lu, and also my best brother. Little Tian, it's great to see you back! " Shi Qingshan dashed forward and gave Lu Xiaotian a bear hug. His loud laughter shook the snow on the trees and caused it to fall down. It was obvious that after more than ten years, Shi Qingshan had become a peerless warrior.
After more than ten years, Lu Xiaotian did not expect to see Shi Qingshan again in Huyang Village.
"You bunch of idiots, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and greet your Brother Lu. His abilities are much higher than mine." Shi Qingshan was so happy that he slapped the back of the strong young man's head.
"Greetings, Brother Lu!" Apart from the middle-aged hunters, the rest of the hunters, regardless of whether they were a few years younger or a few years older than Shi Qingshan, bowed to Lu Xiaotian one after another. Only one or two of them had a look of disbelief on their faces. In their eyes, Shi Qingshan's abilities were already unparalleled. How could Lu Xiaotian be more powerful?
"Big Brother Qingshan, I'll go home first. Let's talk as we walk." Lu Xiaotian did not mind. At this moment, a strong sense of nostalgia welled up in his heart. This was a feeling that he had never felt before in the Immortal Cultivation World.
"Yes, I have to go back first. Little Tian, I'm sorry. Third Uncle Lu's health is not very good. I've searched everywhere for the past two years and found many famous doctors, but none of them could cure Third Uncle Lu's illness." Shi Qingshan scratched his head and said, "But now that you're back, there shouldn't be any problems."
"Let's go take a look first. Oh right, when the Thunder Blade Sect was destroyed, didn't you escape with some of your fellow disciples? Why are you living in Huyang Village now?" Lu Xiaotian asked.
"It's a long story. Back then, I hid from place to place with my master for two years. Later, I heard that the person behind the Dark Iron Order was killed by another force. It should be another immortal. After that, the disturbance caused by the Dark Iron Order was quickly settled. The elders of the Thunder Blade Sect were either dead or injured. After wandering outside for a few years, I was tired of the fighting in the Jianghu. Moreover, my sister-in-law was pregnant, so I returned to Huyang Village. Usually, I would teach the hunters in the village some skills and take care of the kids at home. We didn't have to worry about food and clothing. Compared to the bloodshed in the Jianghu, my life was much more comfortable. "
Speaking of family, Shi Qingshan's face was full of smiles. He then lowered his voice and said, "When I heard that the person behind the Dark Iron Order was killed, I thought you were strong enough to kill your way back. After waiting for so long, I didn't know when we would meet again. Finally, you're back."
