"Third Aunt, your Little Tian is back!" Shi Qingshan called out from behind the fence as he walked to a rather spacious wooden house.
At this time, in front of the wooden house, there was a teenage boy and a pretty girl. They were shoveling snow in the courtyard, looking outside with a look of surprise.
Shi Qingshan pointed at the boy and girl and said, "Here, this is your younger brother, Lu Xiaobao, and your younger sister, Lu Xiaoyu."
A middle-aged woman with a pale face was holding a clay pot. Her hair had turned white. Seeing Lu Xiaotian standing with Shi Qingshan, she vaguely felt that he resembled her second son who had left more than ten years ago. A kind of blood bond made the middle-aged woman's eyes water. The clay pot in her hand fell to the ground as she looked at Lu Xiaotian with a trembling voice. "Xiao, Little Tian, it's really Little Tian. You're back?"
"Yes, Mother, I'm back." Lu Xiaotian's nose was slightly sour.
"Good, good, you've grown up, you're an adult now. His father, Little Tian is back! " The woman couldn't stop her tears from gushing out. Looking at the son she hadn't seen for more than ten years, she was at a loss for what to do.
"Third Aunt, Little Tian is back. It's a happy occasion. Why are you crying? You should gather with your family first. I'll come find Little Tian later." Shi Qingshan said and left first.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and greet your second brother!" A middle-aged man with a gloomy face and a walking stick walked out of the house. He looked like an old man in his fifties or sixties.
"Father." Lu Xiaotian narrowed his eyes. There was a faint green aura on his father's forehead. This didn't look like a normal person. No wonder Shi Qingshan said that many famous doctors couldn't cure his father's illness. This was more than just an illness.
"Second Brother." The girl in front of the house timidly greeted Lu Xiaotian. On the other hand, the boy curiously sized up the legendary second brother in front of him.
"Why are you in a daze? It's so cold outside, and you're wearing so little. Quickly come in and warm yourself." The woman's heart ached as she took a few steps forward and pulled Lu Xiaotian's hand into the house.
Lu Xiaobao, who had been sizing up Lu Xiaotian, suddenly exclaimed, "Wow, Second Brother can't even leave a footprint on the snow."
"Why is this child so surprised?" The woman reached out to slap Lu Xiaotian, but after his reminder, they looked at the snowy ground again. Indeed, there were no footprints behind him. Suddenly, the way they looked at Lu Xiaotian changed.
Lu Xiaobai was a little embarrassed. He didn't notice this. When he entered the village, there were a lot of footprints on the road. The others didn't notice it either. A part of the snow in front of the house hadn't been cleared yet. He didn't expect this kid to notice it.
"Even Big Brother Qingshan would leave some footprints on the ground when he uses Qing Gong, but Second Brother didn't leave any." Lu Xiaobao and Lu Xiaoyu's faces were filled with excitement. They were young people who spent most of the year near Huyang Village. They were the happiest people in Jianghu.
"Little Tian, let's go in first." The father paused and said. The two brothers didn't dare to make a sound. He had heard some news about Lu Xiaotian from Lu Xiaotian. Although he was surprised by Lu Xiaotian's unusual performance, he was still able to maintain his calm.
"Child, where have you been all these years? Even Qingshan brought a wife back from the Thunder Blade Sect. Now, they have a son and a daughter. You've been gone for more than ten years without any news." The mother sat around the charcoal fire and started a conversation.
"What does a woman know? Little Tian, you went out to learn some skills. Have you started a family outside?" The father took out an old tobacco pipe and lit it on the charcoal fire. Then, he turned to Lu Xiaotian and asked.
They chatted for a while. Lu Xiaotian could only make up a simple story in response to his parents' interrogation. After all, if the news that there was a cultivator in his family spread out, it would be impossible for them to maintain the peaceful life they had in Huyang Village. Moreover, it wasn't as if he didn't have any enemies. Therefore, Lu Xiaotian only said that he had become a disciple in a faraway place and that he would return to his sect in a few days.
"By the way, Little Tian, can you show your father the skills you've learned outside? A few years ago, your father's health deteriorated day by day after he came back after fighting his way into the mountains. If it weren't for Qingshan's help, I really wouldn't know what to do with my two children. These years, Qingshan has also invited many doctors from other places, but they couldn't cure him. "Hearing that Lu Xiaotian was going to leave again, his mother shed tears.
"It doesn't matter. I'll treat your father today. He'll be fine after a few days of recuperation."
"Really?" His father was overjoyed. These past few years of dragging his sickly body around had made him feel uncomfortable.
"Of course it's true." Lu Xiaotian nodded. After chatting for a while, Lu Xiaotian asked his younger brother and sister, who were full of curiosity, to leave with the excuse of treating his illness.
His father had a nervous expression. Every time Shi Qingshan invited a doctor, his face would be filled with hope, but in the end, he would always be disappointed. After listening to Shi Qingshan's stories, he worshipped Lu Xiaotian. It seemed that his son had truly learned some skills.
"Go to sleep. Once you wake up, you'll be fine." After Lu Xiaotian had his father lie down on the bed, he reached out and pressed between his eyebrows. His father immediately fell asleep. A small amount of magic power was injected into his father's body. Not long after, a drum-like sound could be heard from his father's body. His stomach quickly swelled, as if it was about to burst.
"Hurry up and come out!" Lu Xiaotian shouted and began to slowly increase the amount of magic power he injected into his father's body. The magic power began to move from the bulging stomach all the way up to his mouth. A blood-red, three-inch-long, hideous-looking insect screeched and crawled out of his father's mouth. After looking at Lu Xiaotian in fear, it broke through the window and flew far away.
"Mother, for these three days, father can only eat porridge. Every morning, take a drop and drip it into the porridge. After three days, he'll be completely healed." Lu Xiaotian stuffed a bottle filled with juice squeezed out from a low-level spirit insect into his mother's hands at the door.
"Okay, okay. Xiaotian, where are you going?" His mother took the bottle and hurriedly asked when she saw that Lu Xiaotian was about to leave.
"I'm going out to take care of something. I'll be back when I'm done." Lu Xiaotian tapped his feet on the ground and flew dozens of feet away. With a few leaps, he disappeared above the forest near Hushan Village. His mother rubbed her eyes. Seeing it with her own eyes, she realized that her son had indeed exceeded her imagination. She was both gratified and worried. Her son was so outstanding that he was destined to be further and further away from home.
In a cave a hundred li away from Hushan Village, a skinny man whose skin was almost sticking to his bones was like a walking skeleton. At this moment, he was leaving the cave in a panic and running on the snowy ground.
"You think you can leave?" A golden light flashed and a young man on a saber descended from the sky.
The young man on the saber was naturally Lu Xiaotian.
When the skinny middle-aged man saw that Lu Xiaotian had arrived so quickly, his expression changed and he forced himself to remain calm. "May I know why you've stopped me?"
"A Foundation Establishment cultivator is actually hiding in such a desolate and barren place. What is your goal?"
In reality, when Lu Xiaotian saw this person's appearance, he understood most of what was going on. He sized up the skinny middle-aged man in front of him. Of course, he wouldn't point out his relationship with Hushan Village. However, this person in front of him was already extremely weak. It seemed that this person was also recovering from his injuries, just like when he was at Chi Lin and her sister's horse farm. However, this person's injuries were clearly much more serious than his own. Because of this, it was understandable that he had used some tricks on his father. If it was an unrelated person, Lu Xiaotian wouldn't have meddled in this matter. However, it was his father who had been hurt. Naturally, it was different.
"As you can see, I've suffered some injuries and have been stranded here to recuperate." The skinny middle-aged man was so skinny that his expression couldn't even be seen.
"Placing Gu in another person's body to absorb nutrients back to oneself. This method is quite similar to some sects in the Southern Wasteland. May I know which sect you're from?" Lu Xiaotian stared at the skinny middle-aged man.
"I'm just a Loose Cultivator. I learned some Gu control techniques by chance." The skinny middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a strange light.
"Is that so? Open your storage pouch and let me see. "
"Fellow Daoist, don't you think this request is a bit excessive?" The skinny middle-aged man said unhappily.
"There's something you might be mistaken about." Lu Xiaotian smiled.
"What is it?"
"I'm not here to discuss with you." After saying that, Lu Xiaotian stretched out his finger and the Earth Splitter flashed out.
The skinny middle-aged man's expression changed greatly. He took out a simple black curved blade with a strange insect pattern to block it.
At first, the curved blade's strength was extremely great. Lu Xiaotian was quite surprised. It seemed that the skinny middle-aged man's cultivation was far above his before he was injured. However, a featherless phoenix was inferior to a chicken. Even if it was stronger now, it was only at the end of a crossbow.
After the Earth Splitter clashed with the opponent for more than ten times, it knocked the black curved blade away and cut off the skinny middle-aged man's legs.
The skinny middle-aged man screamed and glared at Lu Xiaotian with great resentment.
The Earth Splitter curved in the air and once again slashed at the skinny middle-aged man. He wouldn't allow someone who harmed his family to live in this world. With a swoosh, the skinny middle-aged man's head was cut off.
"Want to run? It's not that easy." Lu Xiaotian sneered. With a wave of his hand, a light barrier enveloped the skinny middle-aged man. Inside the light barrier, there was a blood-red light that was running around in all directions. It was the blood-red bug that he had forced out of his father's body. The reason why he let it escape was because he wanted to follow the clues to find its owner.
"Stop, stop, don't kill me!" The skinny middle-aged man's Primordial Spirit was attached to the bloody insect. When he saw Lu Xiaotian use his mana to summon the Innate True Fire, he shouted in horror.
Lu Xiaotian did not stop. This blood-red bug was quite ferocious. Trapping it in the light consumed a lot of his mana. He did not want to complicate matters. Under the powerful infusion of his mana, he directly used the mana of a Foundation Establishment cultivator to conjure the Connate True Fire to envelop the blood-red bug.
"Even if I die, you won't live for long. The entire Plenilune Immortal World will cease to exist!" The bloody insect screamed and struggled in the Innate True Fire. In a moment, it was burned to ashes by the Innate True Fire.
"The entire Plenilune Immortal World will cease to exist?" Lu Xiaotian was shocked. Then, he smiled and shook his head. Now that he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his vision was far wider than before. There were many Jin Dan cultivators in all the major sects in the Plenilune Immortal World. There were even some Nascent Soul old monsters who didn't appear. Even if the sky fell, there were tall people to hold it up. However, a guy with a slightly higher cultivation than him dared to speak so arrogantly.
However, when Lu Xiaotian took the storage bag and opened it, he saw a small red card inside. His expression changed slightly. The red card recorded the identity of the skinny middle-aged man. There was also a lot of information about the Ancient Sword Sect and the Green Pill Palace, such as the number of Jin Dan ancestors and their strength ranking. Some of the Spirit Stone veins in the Plenilune Immortal World, even the city defense of the Plenilune City, and important figures in the Rogue Cultivator Alliance.
Why did a cultivator from a sect in the Southern Wasteland collect so much information about the Plenilune Immortal World? In the storage bag, there was also a method to cultivate the Blood Venomous Insect, as well as some spiritual items and poisons. Although there was no lack of valuable items, they were not of much use to him. There were a lot of Spirit Stones.
In addition to the skinny middle-aged man's belongings, there was also the belongings of an Ancient Sword Sect cultivator called Qing Yu. It seemed that he had been killed by the skinny middle-aged man. The black scimitar and the Ancient Sword Sect's Dharma treasure sword were very good, but it did not have an advantage over the Earth Splitter. On the other hand, there was a piece of gray, ordinary gray rock that was stored in a jade box. Lu Xiaotian could not see anything special about it. If it was thrown on the ground, Lu Xiaotian would definitely ignore it as an ordinary stone. However, how could it be an ordinary stone if it was kept so carefully by the skinny middle-aged man? Lu Xiaotian held it in his hand and squeezed it hard. The gray rock did not move at all. Slowly, Lu Xiaotian increased his strength. Until he used all his strength, there was no reaction at all. Out of curiosity, he used the Earth Splitter to slash it a few times, but there was not even a trace left. Lu Xiaotian was naturally very surprised. This was the first time he had seen such a hard stone that did not have any Spirit Qi fluctuations. He searched through the introduction of some strange items in the Immortal World in his mind, but he could not find anything about this gray rock.
For a moment, Lu Xiaotian could not figure it out, so he put it away. After searching around for a while, he did not find any signs of other cultivators. It seemed that they had indeed escaped here after being injured.
