Zhao Kuishan introduced him to Lu Xiaotian, "This is Zhao Family's Mountain Guardian Demon Immortal. He was raised by the Zhao Family since childhood and has been guarding the Zhao Family for generations."
Lu Xiaotian nodded. Since entering the Zhao Family's territory, he found that his understanding of Pagoda Cloud City's strength seemed to be a bit too one-sided. Just by passing through the Zhao Family's area, Lu Xiaotian could sense more than 20 auras of varying strength. This was only a corner of the Zhao Family's territory. There were some areas that were covered by restrictions. If Lu Xiaotian didn't use some methods, his spiritual consciousness wouldn't be able to extend in.
It was his first time going to the Zhao Family, and the other side had a True Immortal expert, so Lu Xiaotian naturally wouldn't be so rude as to wander around the Zhao Family's territory.
The Zhao Family's Patriarch, Zhao Qifeng, lived in a basin surrounded by several hills. The surrounding hills were like tigers crouching and dragons coiling. The scale of the palace wasn't too big, but it was very magnificent.
Inside, there were two rows of beautiful women in light green dresses, carrying various kinds of immortal fruits in and out. Their expressions were solemn, and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Even Zhao Kuishan, who came with them, restrained his aura, looking serious.
Lu Xiaotian's eyes flashed. It seemed that this Zhao Qifeng wasn't an easy person to get along with.
Entering the palace, Zhao Kuishan cupped his hands and bowed to Zhao Qifeng, who was sitting on a golden tiger chair, "Patriarch, Pill Sage Dongfang is here."
"You can leave." Zhao Qifeng's thin face was cold, and he just waved his left hand without much expression. His voice was a bit hoarse.
"Yes, Patriarch!" Zhao Kuishan bowed and left.
Lu Xiaotian frowned and glanced at Zhao Qifeng. This guy was really arrogant, but his cultivation method was different from ordinary Immortals. Lu Xiaotian felt a bit of a dangerous aura from him, but he couldn't see anything else.
"I didn't expect that a small place like Pagoda Cloud City would have a pill sage like Fellow Daoist Dongfang. What a surprise. " At this time, only Zhao Qifeng and Lu Xiaotian were left in the hall. Zhao Qifeng gestured for them to sit.
"I was just lucky." Lu Xiaotian nodded. This Zhao Qifeng's aura was very strong. Since he didn't know why he had come, Lu Xiaotian directly sat in the seat Zhao Qifeng indicated. In the empty hall, only the two of them sat, separated by dozens of meters.
Lu Xiaotian didn't say anything. Since the other party had invited him here, there was no reason for him to take the initiative to ask what the other party's intentions were. From the looks of it, Zhao Qifeng might not be very friendly to him. Could it be that the time he spent refining pills in Pagoda City and collecting all kinds of immortal herbs and alchemy materials had shaken his interest? After all, the other party had also profited quite a bit from him.
"You're quite calm, Fellow Daoist Dongfang." Zhao Qifeng was a little surprised.
"Since Patriarch Zhao invited me here, he must have something to say. If Patriarch Zhao isn't in a hurry, then neither am I." Lu Xiaotian said.
"You're not from Pagoda Cloud City. You only came here recently. Where did you come from? Ordinary small temples can't accommodate a Bodhisattva like Fellow Daoist Dongfang. "Zhao Qifeng asked.
"I'm just an ordinary loose immortal, adventuring everywhere. It was purely an accident that I came to Pagoda Cloud City. Patriarch Zhao doesn't think that I have the strength to wander around the void."
Lu Xiaotian frowned. Zhao Qifeng's tone seemed very calm, but it was very rude to ask about someone's background the first time they met. It seemed that Zhao Qifeng didn't come back with good intentions. Even if he asked him to do something, it wouldn't be a good job.
"An ordinary loose immortal can become a pill sage?" Zhao Qifeng smiled and changed the topic. "Well, since Fellow Daoist Dongfang doesn't want to say more, this old man won't ask."
"I invited Fellow Daoist Dongfang here mainly to ask Fellow Daoist Dongfang to come with me."
"It seems that Patriarch Zhao has already arranged the itinerary for me. Allow me to ask a few more questions. Where are you going and what can I do for you?"
Lu Xiaotian smiled. He wasn't angry. The cultivation world was a place where the strong preyed on the weak. For Lu Xiaotian, this wasn't the first time, and it wouldn't be the last.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Dongfang is a smart person. This old man likes to talk to smart people. The place this old man is going to is a bit remote. Fellow Daoist Dongfang will know when you get there. At that time, I'll need Fellow Daoist Dongfang to refine a batch of pills for this old man. Once it's done, I'll reward you handsomely. "Zhao Qifeng was a little surprised by Lu Xiaotian's calmness.
"I don't know what kind of pill would have such an important effect on Patriarch Zhao. I don't even know the name of the pill. Patriarch Zhao really trusts me," Lu Xiaotian said.
"Based on Fellow Daoist Dongfang's performance in Pagoda Cloud City during this period of time, the success rate of refining pills has been stable at around 30%. It's enough for this old man to take a risk. This old man has already sent a friend to get the pill recipe. Fellow Daoist Dongfang just needs to prepare for a while. When this old man leaves, I'll take Fellow Daoist Dongfang with me."
Zhao Qifeng didn't ask for Lu Xiaotian's opinion. Instead, he directly made the decision for Lu Xiaotian.
"It seems that there's no room for me to refuse. Then I'll go back and prepare. When Patriarch Zhao leaves, just send someone to inform me." Lu Xiaotian nodded. In a situation where his strength was inferior, forcefully resisting would only bring shame to himself. He wanted to see what Zhao Qifeng was planning.
"That's good." Zhao Qifeng didn't keep Lu Xiaotian any longer and allowed Lu Xiaotian to leave.
"This Pill Sage Dongfang is calmer than I imagined. Is he a smart man, or does he have something else to rely on?" Shortly after Lu Xiaotian left, a graceful blue-robed woman, Xu Suqin, walked out of a side hall of the main hall.
"Whether he has something to rely on or not, we'll be able to see it in a few days. Presumably, he already feels that I came with ill intentions. When faced with a crisis, his usual reaction is to either submit, call for reinforcements as soon as possible, or run away directly. "
Zhao Qifeng's thin face had a bit of coldness. "If the other party really had a powerful backer, why would he need to advance to Pill Sage in a desolate place like Minghu Elegant House? He would have thought of a way to inform them. Maybe he just hit the jackpot and obtained some Alchemy Inheritance. He doesn't lack talent."
"If such a talent can be used by us, our forces will be like a tiger with wings. Are you really going to take him to that damned place?" Xu Suqin asked.
"I can't wait that long. I have to reach the next level as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the time is up, I won't be able to suppress the Dark Purple Fiend in my body. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Since I met this Pill Sage Dongfang, I can only blame him for coming at the wrong time. He has to make some sacrifices for me. "
A trace of Dark Qi overflowed from Zhao Qifeng, causing his face to twist in pain.
