After a while, Zen Master Ruyi sighed and said, "I hope things won't get too bad. Thank you for your hard work, Fellow Daoist Yun."
"It's not hard work at all. I just blocked the attack for Lu Xiaotian. I didn't really help him deal with Wu and the Blood Weeping Mosquito Demon. Lu Xiaotian is tactful enough to know that I was only helping him out. He didn't ask me to help him deal with the two old monsters."
Yun Cangyue smiled as he recalled the process of meeting Lu Xiaotian. Repaying Lu Xiaotian's favor was one thing. Just blocking the attack of a Body Integration Stage old monster for Lu Xiaotian was not difficult for Yun Cangyue. However, if he really wanted to kill the other party for Lu Xiaotian, it was a different matter altogether. Even if the other party's methods were not as good as his, they might still have the ability to escape. If he offended the other party too much, it would be extremely dangerous for a junior like Yun Xiaoqi of Zhu Xiashan to go out. Repaying a favor was not enough to form a deadly feud with the other party.
"However, from the looks of it, Lu Xiaotian is not at a disadvantage even though he's fighting one against two. The mid-stage Body Integration Stage sword cultivator is extremely powerful. After returning from the Blue Mirror Lake, Lu Xiaotian's strength has improved greatly. When he went to the Blue Mirror Lake, he only had the means of a body cultivator. Now, he's an extremely powerful sword cultivator. He has also made a breakthrough in his cultivation of magic power."
Yun Cangyue then mentioned that Lu Xiaotian had promised to save Ding Yu.
"I've also paid attention to this person's actions. He came from Yuan Ling City. Apart from collecting the essence spirits of various monsters, he doesn't have any other evil deeds. His behavior is rather upright. There's no harm in your daughter interacting with him, "said Zen Master Ruyi.
"The other party injured Zen Master's junior brother, but he's still so calm. Zen Master's state of mind is truly admirable," said Yun Cangyue.
"Even Ming Xie doesn't take this matter to heart. Why should I worry about him? I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Yun this time. If there's any news about Lu Xiaotian in the future, please pass it on," said Zen Master Ruyi.
"That's not a big deal. I'll accept it." Yun Cangyue nodded and chatted with Zen Master Ruyi for a while. After that, he didn't stay in the ancient temple and went straight back to Mount Zhuxia.
"It looks like the Buddhist Sect is suspecting that Pill King Li has leaked some of their legacies to Lu Xiaotian. If Lu Xiaotian obtains Pill King Li's pill dao inheritance, I really don't know how far he can go in the future. He cultivates both body and energy, and his lifespan is longer than ordinary cultivators of the same level. I really don't know how far he can go in pill dao. "
"Pill King Li went, and now Lu Xiaotian came. This Yuan Tang's fortune is truly extraordinary." Yun Cangyue muttered in private for a while before shaking his head. He turned into a beam of red light and disappeared into Zhuxia Mountain Region.
.....
"No, no, no. I only listen to Brother Lu. I have no intention of joining any other faction." Hearing Nan Chendu's invitation to join the Yuan Tang as a guest elder like Lu Xiaotian, Zhu Qi shook his head and refused. What a joke. He was doing well in the Windbreak Gorge. Why would he go to the Yuan Tang and be restrained? Although joining the Yuan Tang would give him more benefits, there would always be some corresponding ties. He wouldn't take other people's things for free. Now that he was guarding Lu Xiaotian, a fourth-grade pill king with an extremely profound cultivation, why would he give up what was near and seek what was far away?
Lu Xiaotian was a little surprised by this, but he didn't try to persuade him. It would be good if Zhu Qi was willing to follow him. After all, who wouldn't want to have a reliable Body Integration Realm helper by their side?
"Looks like Brother Lu and Brother Zhu's friendship is extraordinary. Well, you're not an outsider. If Brother Zhu needs anything in the future, feel free to call us." Zhu Qi had clearly expressed his intention to follow Lu Xiaotian. Nan Chendu naturally couldn't recruit him anymore.
"Thank you, Brother Nan Chendu and Brother Shi, for coming all the way here to help." Although the two of them had a certain utilitarian motive for getting to know him, he still owed them a favor for coming after hearing that he was in trouble.
Previously, Lu Xiaotian had met many Divine Illusionary Realm experts from various clans on his way to the Demonic Mound of Darkness. After these Divine Illusionary Realm experts brought the news of his battle with Wu Zhanglian out, the scene of Yun Cangyue, Nan Chendu, and Shi Zhongyi rushing over had occurred.
However, Yun Cangyue's luck was better. He was close to where Lu Xiaotian came out of the Demonic Mound of Gloom, so he rushed over. If Nan Chendu and Shi Zhongyi had arrived earlier, they would've been able to solve Lu Xiaotian's predicament. If he paid a higher price, he could've let the two of them stall Wu Changlian while he dealt with him first. Or he could've severely injured the Blood Weeping Mosquito Demon and cut off one of Wu Changlian's arms. After all, the possibility of Nan Chendu and Shi Zhongyi being willing to help him was higher. Yun Cangyue didn't have much of a relationship with him, so there was a limit to what he could do for him.
"Brother Lu, you're too polite. Since you're the guest elder of the Abyss Hall, you're one with the Abyss Hall when you encounter an enemy. How can you sit by and do nothing? If the Abyss Hall didn't do this, wouldn't we be a pile of loose sand? We wouldn't be able to establish ourselves in the Demonic Chaos Region. Why would we be in such a big situation now? "Shi Zhongyi said.
"Yes, if Brother Lu encounters a similar situation in the future, please inform me and Brother Shi in advance. That way, you won't encounter such a dangerous situation in the Demonic Mound of Gloom." Nan Chendu didn't boast about entering the Demonic Mound of Gloom. This upstart of the Abyss Hall had a hobby of entering the Demonic Mound of Gloom. If he boasted now and encountered a similar situation in the future, Nan Chendu would have to hesitate again and again even if he wanted to help him. After all, the Demonic Mound of Gloom suppressed Body Integration cultivators too much.
Lu Xiaotian was a little annoyed that he didn't meet Nan Chendu and Shi Zhongyi first. Nan Chendu and Shi Zhongyi were the same. Although they came, Lu Xiaotian more or less owed them a favor. In comparison, Yun Cangyue didn't put in much effort, but the favor he earned was more than the two of them combined. Lu Xiaotian was definitely popular in the Abyss Hall now. In addition to Lu Xiaotian's strength and identity as a grade-four Elixir King, he had two more Body Integration cultivators to help him. And looking at Zhu Qi, he only recognized Lu Xiaotian. As for the female Body Integration cultivator who they had temporarily lost contact with, if Lu Xiaotian could enter the Demonic Mound of Gloom regardless of the hardships and dangers, their relationship was obviously not ordinary.
Lu Xiaotian alone was already a force to be reckoned with, let alone three Body Integration Stage powerhouses who were extremely united. If they were to be recruited, they would immediately form a huge force.
"I won't say any more polite words. If there's anything I can help you with in the future, feel free to look for me." Lu Xiaotian didn't waste any time on pleasantries and said directly. For the time being, both sides didn't have any conflicts of interest. If he could rope them in, he would have more help in the future. Reciprocity was the way to go in the long run. If he was a stingy miser, he couldn't expect the other party to come all the way here to help like this time.
