"Diligence makes up for stupidity. My aptitude is not as good as others'. I can only keep up with others through hard work." Lu Xiaotian was telling the truth. Of course, this was before he had the Red Bamboo Elixir. As for now, the shortcoming of slow cultivation had been completely made up for.
"With such a state of mind, you will become a great person in the future. But in terms of aptitude, you may not be worse than others. " Su Hongtao looked at Lu Xiaotian's calm expression. He did not have the slightest intention to argue. Su Hongtao was a little puzzled. To be able to have such composure at such a young age, it was quite rare for someone at his level of cultivation.
"I asked you to come here because I need your help with something. I don't know if you have time."
"Uncle Master Su, you are a powerful cultivator of Jin Dan. What can I help you with?" Lu Xiaotian did not directly refuse or agree. He wanted to figure out the situation first.
"It's about the foreign cultivators. The Ancient Sword Sect and the Green Pill Palace have formed the Plenilune Alliance to fight against the cultivators of the Southern Wilderness and the Heaven Vault Realm. Although I am a cultivator of Jin Dan, the Southern Wilderness and the Heaven Vault Realm also have Jin Dan masters. The Jin Dan cultivators of each sect have their own missions. According to the alliance's meeting, the Foundation Establishment cultivators of each sect have generally been arranged. It concerns the life and death of the entire Plenilune World of Immortal Cultivators, and no one can stay out of it. The children of the Jin Dan cultivators will participate in the war against the foreign invasion, and Qing 'er is no exception. Now that the situation in Xuanye City is tense, according to the rules, the Divine Cloud Palace must send a team of disciples to Xuanye City to investigate the situation there. Qing' er is one of them. It just so happens that a few of my disciples have gone out and haven't returned yet. Other disciples in the late stage of Foundation Establishment have also been arranged. There are not many people that Qing 'er can completely trust, so I want you to join this team. "Su Hongtao said.
Lu Xiaotian frowned slightly. A Jin Dan cultivator had something to ask of him. He naturally did not want to refuse him for no reason and embarrass him. Moreover, he was Su Qing's grandfather. However, Lu Xiaotian had other plans for his future. Xuanye City was a place of trouble. If it wasn't necessary, he definitely didn't want to go there. Moreover, he had made great contributions to the Divine Cloud Palace and had only returned to the palace for two years. If he did not want to, Su Hongtao could not force him.
"This trip to Xuanye City is extremely dangerous. With this junior's cultivation base, I'm afraid it's beyond my power," Lu Xiaotian said with a bitter smile.
When Su Qing heard Lu Xiaotian's rejection, her face was filled with unhappiness. She wanted to say something but stopped herself. She looked at Su Hongtao expectantly.
"This kid doesn't know what's good for him." Su Hongtao was a little angry. He was a dignified Jin Dan cultivator, and he had asked Lu Xiaotian for help. Lu Xiaotian actually refused. He really didn't know what was good for him. However, he saw that this kid's eyes were clear and he did not have any bad intentions towards his precious granddaughter. From this point of view, he felt a little less worried. Moreover, according to Su Qing and the girl from the Wu family, Lu Xiaotian's strength should be quite strong in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. "Of course, you didn't come here for nothing.
You've made great contributions to the Sect and sold Ning Jin Dan, so I'm sure you don't lack Spiritual Stones. I have a broken Jindan Celestial Device here called the Energy Storage Bead. It can store 40% of the Dharma power at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. With your current cultivation, it shouldn't be a problem for you to store more than twice that amount. It can be used at least five times. That is to say, if a cultivator of the same level fights with you, he definitely won't be a match for you. If you're willing to go with Qing 'er, this Energy Storage Bead is yours. "As he said this, Su Hongtao took out a small crimson bead.
"It can store Dharma power and take it out when it's needed?" Lu Xiaotian looked surprised. Looking at the small bead in Su Hongtao's hand, he didn't expect there to be such a treasure in the world. His Heaven Reversal Pill was different, but it had the same effect. However, compared to the Energy Storage Bead, the recovery speed of Dharma power was a bit slower. After all, it took some time to absorb the Heaven Reversal Pill, and in a battle between experts, this little bit of time was the key to determining victory. In the past, when Lu Xiaotian took the Heaven Reversal Pill, he would take it in advance before his magic power was exhausted.
"Yes, I heard that in the Red Sun Field outside Xuanye City, there are rumors about the Fire Element Gold Condensing Fruit. If you're lucky, you might be able to obtain the Gold Condensing Fruit." Su Hongtao nodded.
Lu Xiaotian's body shook. In his eyes, the Gold Condensing Fruit was even more precious than the Ning Jin Dan.
"Since Martial Uncle Su has said so, it would be impolite for me to refuse." Lu Xiaotian nodded. Not to mention how precious the Energy Storage Bead was, just the information about the Gold Condensing Fruit was worth a trip to Xuanye City. Although he wanted to ask a few more questions, he remembered that he had just sold the Ning Jin Dan not long ago. Asking about the Gold Condensing Fruit now was a bit contradictory. It wasn't good to ask. If there was a treasure, would Su Hongtao not tell Su Qing? As for the Gold Condensing Fruit, he just needed to follow Su Qing. Once he arrived at Xuanye City, he could also secretly ask around.
"Good, straightforward. If that's the case, then this Energy Storage Bead is yours." Su Hongtao was also a straightforward person. However, after seeing Lu Xiaotian accept the bead, he couldn't help but feel a bit proud. He didn't expect that a broken Jin Dan magic tool would be able to buy the kid in front of him. As for the rumors about the Ning Jin Dan, it was true. However, Lu Xiaotian's cultivation was at most in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. When he found out about the difficulties, he would naturally retreat.
Lu Xiaotian didn't know what Su Hongtao was thinking. Since Su Hongtao had given him a broken Energy Storage Bead, it was still a rare treasure for a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. Presumably, the complete Energy Storage Bead should be in Su Qing's hands. If there wasn't anything better, Su Hongtao wouldn't have given this bead to him. This Su Hongtao was really stingy. Logically speaking, since he had saved Su Qing several times, if Su Hongtao was generous, he should have given him something more practical. After all, the foundation of a Jin Dan cultivator was definitely more than what he had just shown.
"Then it's settled. Brother Lu must accompany me to Xuanye City," Su Qing said happily.
"When do we leave?" Lu Xiaotian nodded and asked.
"Ten days later."
"Then this junior will go back and make some preparations in case of an emergency."
Looking at Lu Xiaotian's departing figure, Su Qing smacked her lips, feeling rather bored.
"Put away those little thoughts of yours. Although this Lu Xiaotian's strength is extraordinary, he's extremely shrewd. With those ideas in your head, if he really wanted to scheme against you, you would be sold off and still help him count the money. I think that kid from the Luo Clan is more suitable for you. As for Lu Xiaotian, I don't think so. " After seeing the look in Su Qing's eyes, Su Hongtao did not know if his decision this time was right or wrong. Before leaving, he still warned Su Qing. In Su Hongtao's eyes, he could naturally see that Luo Qian was deeply in love with Su Qing, but from Lu Xiaotian's eyes, he could not see the slightest bit of infatuation with Su Qing. Su Hongtao was naturally somewhat resentful in his heart. Su Qing was his biological granddaughter. With the complete Yun Yuan Pearl and another Dan Yuan Magic Tool, he did not believe that Lu Xiaotian would be a match for Su Qing. His strength and background were far inferior to Su Qing's, yet he still acted as if he was keeping a respectful distance from her. Perhaps this time, he knew his own limits. Su Hongtao comforted himself.
"Luo Qian? He's far worse than Brother Lu. If it wasn't for Brother Lu polishing him a few times, he wouldn't be as virtuous as he is now. "Su Qing curled her lips and said indifferently.
"You ah, forget it. Let's go to Xuanye City."
After leaving Su Hongtao's Linghong Peak, Lu Xiaotian went straight to the market of the Spirit Firmament Palace to inquire about the pills that could defend against poisonous insects. Then, he went to the Medicine Hall and copied a few pill recipes. Perhaps he would not need them later, but it was better to be prepared. In addition, he refined a lot of Heaven Reversal Pills and Poison Repellent Pills. There were also various healing pills.
Ten days later, six figures swept over the top of the Spirit Firmament Palace. Among the six people, he was familiar with Luo Qian. The other three were Bao Chong, Hu Ruining, and Xia Dong. They were all cultivators at the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. They had been in the Foundation Establishment Realm for many years, but their cultivation was stuck at the middle stage. This kind of person's combat strength was usually more tyrannical. Su Qing and Luo Qian had just entered the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. However, Luo Qian was chosen by Lei Wantian and was directly accepted as a disciple. After these years of consolidation, his strength was presumably not comparable to that of an ordinary cultivator. From the way Luo Qian looked at him from time to time, Lu Xiaotian could tell that Luo Qian wanted to compete with him. However, he was still somewhat afraid and did not have the confidence to win. Lu Xiaotian pretended not to see this. As long as Luo Qian did not take the initiative to provoke him, Lu Xiaotian would not cause trouble.
They spent several days following Su Qing's orders. Hu Ruining, Xia Dong, and the others also had no intention of objecting.
Several months later, they looked at the astonishing demonic energy in front of them with a bewildered expression.
"Such a heavy evil aura. I'm afraid there are some filthy ghosts here. Moreover, their cultivation is definitely not low. With just the few of us, I'm afraid we may not be able to deal with them." Bao Chong seemed to be very afraid of this evil aura. His face looked somewhat pale.
"Let's take a detour. It's just a longer journey." Su Qing was also quite displeased with this kind of aura. The gloomy sky made her feel very oppressed.
"Aooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
From the crack, one, two, dozens of black human and beast corpses poured out from inside. They looked very sinister and terrifying. Fortunately, only one of the tiger corpses had a strong aura. Compared to the others, they were only at the Qi Refining stage. Not worth mentioning.
"So it turned out to be some Yin corpses. It seems this place used to be very murderous." After seeing these dozens of Yin corpses, Hu Ruining's expression relaxed. The most powerful one was only a fourth rank Yin corpse. It did not pose a threat to them.
"I'm afraid things are not so simple. Who knows how many of these monsters are in this crack." Luo Qian shook his head.
