After a while, Zhao Qifeng's complexion returned to normal. "If that Eastern Pill Sage is really lucky and survives, we will recruit him under our command and make up for it afterwards." With the carrot and the stick, we're not afraid that Pill Sage Dongfang won't be easy. "
"That's true." Xu Suqin nodded. "In comparison, our matter is more important."
When Lu Xiaotian returned to Minghu Elegant House, he summoned Hu Xiaofeng, the old man with the black cane, Mo Da, and a few others and gave them some instructions. Hu Xiaofeng had a regretful expression on her face. She knew that the Jiang and Zhao Clans wouldn't miss out on a pill sage like him, but she didn't expect them to take Lu Xiaotian away so quickly.
Hu Xiaofeng secretly rejoiced that she didn't offend the three monks that day. Otherwise, once Lu Xiaotian left, she wouldn't be able to face the huge trouble of the three monks without her backing.
"In the future, when Fellow Daoist Dongfang achieves meteoric success, don't forget us," Hu Xiaofeng said with a smile.
"If I settle down and lack manpower, I'll find a way to contact you." Lu Xiaotian nodded. Alchemy could already be regarded as an independent cultivation path. Although his combat strength might not be comparable to immortals of the same level, it was not like in the Spiritual Realm, where alchemy and cultivation were two completely independent aspects. In the future, when refining various immortal pills, it was inevitable that he would spend a lot of time collecting all kinds of materials, so he needed a few people who could be used. It was better to use experienced people than raw ones. At least Hu Xiaofeng, the old man with the black cane, and Mo Dayou were quite handy during this period of time.
"Then I'll wait for Fellow Daoist Dongfang's summons." Hu Xiaofeng immediately beamed with joy.
The old man with the black cane and Mo Dayou's expressions also became slightly better. They took the pills that Lu Xiaotian gave them and secretly said that if there was a chance in the future, they must follow Lu Xiaotian closely. It was not easy to find a backer like him who could do what he said and was not stingy. Many people from True Immortal families were not as good as the three of them under Lu Xiaotian.
Lu Xiaotian nodded. He didn't intend to tell Hu Xiaofeng and the others about his unhappiness with Zhao Qifeng. After all, even if they knew, it wouldn't be of much help to him.
After Hu Xiaofeng and the other two left, Lin Fang, who had agreed to meet Lu Xiaotian in March, came to visit.
"Fellow Daoist Dongfang, you didn't meet me at the restaurant as we agreed." Lin Fang went straight to the point.
"Something unexpected happened. I'm afraid we can't continue our relationship." Lu Xiaotian had originally planned to give the Green Vine immortal tool to Lin Fang outside and use this opportunity to secretly size up the three Barbarian Blood monks. It was just that the mysterious and powerful Divine Sense in the middle made Lu Xiaotian not dare to peek again. In addition, Zhao Qifeng wanted to take him to another dangerous place, so he naturally didn't have a chance to take the treasure with Lin Fang.
Needless to say, Zhao Qifeng must have arranged spies near Minghu Elegant Restaurant. He didn't need to rely on these ordinary immortals to stop him. As long as he gave a warning, Zhao Qifeng could easily intercept him.
"What accident is more important than Fellow Daoist Dongfang's opportunity to advance to the True Immortal Realm?" Lin Fang narrowed his eyes. Even though Lu Xiaotian's strength and status were obviously much higher than his, several months of careful preparation and several near-death experiences with the black-clothed woman, Cen Yu, in exchange for Lu Xiaotian's withdrawal, Lin Fang couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm being forced to go to a place I don't even know. Naturally, I can't go with you. "Lu Xiaotian naturally didn't care about Lin Fang's anger.
When Lin Fang heard Lu Xiaotian's words, he was startled. After a while, he calmed down. "Zhao Qifeng is back. He wants to take you away from Pagoda Cloud City?"
"You're very well-informed." Lu Xiaotian said with some surprise.
"That makes sense. I heard that Zhao Qifeng is not far from the second stage of the True Immortal Realm. This time, he wants to take you away by force, most likely because of the Wondrous Dream Stone. If that's the case, we still have a chance. Let's see if you dare. "Lin Fang said in a provocative tone.
"You're quite bold. You even dare to offend a True Immortal." Lu Xiaotian looked at Lin Fang again. The other party's well-informed and courage were beyond his expectations.
"Also, where did you get this information from?"
Lin Fang said. "I'm sure you know about the green vine immortal artifact. It's quite powerful. With my strength as a mere Loose Immortal, there's naturally a reason for me to be able to obtain such an inheritance. I once saved a True Immortal from the Green Flask Immortal Sect. Unfortunately, not long after, he died due to heavy injuries. The reason for his death was the plot of Zhao Qifeng and another True Immortal. Therefore, I know more than ordinary cultivators. "
"How can I get rid of them?" Lu Xiaotian asked. Since the other party had this information, he must have some confidence. If he really had a chance of obtaining the Page of Flame Spirit, he might as well take some risks.
"Zhao Qifeng will have to pass through the Heavy Water Peak Region to head to the Longing Dream Swamp Cave. Even a True Immortal's speed will drop greatly when he reaches the Heavy Water Peak Region. Using the Heavy Water Peak Region's terrain will be enough for you to get rid of Zhao Qifeng," Lin Fang said.
"But if you're pinning your hopes on this, you're underestimating a True Immortal's abilities," Lu Xiaotian said disapprovingly.
"Naturally, there are other ways …"
"It's indeed a little risky. I'll have to wait until I reach the Heavy Water Peak Region to see if it's really as you say." After listening to Lin Fang's explanation, Lu Xiaotian hesitated for a moment. He could tell that Lin Fang's words were highly credible. However, he still felt uneasy before actually experiencing it.
"At most, you'll be caught by Zhao Qifeng again. Zhao Qifeng wants Fellow Daoist Dongfang to refine pills, so he won't do anything to you. If Fellow Daoist Dongfang is still worried, you can give me the Green Vine Immortal Tools. I'll go get them myself. If I succeed, our deal will continue, "Lin Fang said through gritted teeth.
"Alright." Since he'd spoken up to this point, Lu Xiaotian wouldn't remain indifferent, and he immediately returned the 12 Immortal Artifacts to Lin Fang. "I'll only truly trust you if you meet me at a fixed place."
"Deal." Lin Fang's heart settled when he heard Lu Xiaotian's words.
The Green Vine Immortal Tools were once again in his hands. Lin Fang could not help but feel as if they were connected by blood. However, the restrictions within made Lin Fang feel as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat. He could not help but use his Divine Sense to test the restrictions. Immediately, Lin Fang felt a piercing pain in his sea of consciousness. Shocked, he hurriedly retracted his Divine Sense, not daring to test it again.
"This restriction is no small matter. Even a True Immortal might be able to break it by force. However, your Green Vine Immortal Tools will naturally be destroyed. After we complete our deal, I'll remove the restrictions within." Lu Xiaotian saw Lin Fang's reaction. He learned this restriction from Shi Xingkong's inheritance. Even if Lin Fang had some opportunities, it was just an ordinary Celestial Sect. How could it be compared with the eminent Buddhist monk Shi Xingkong, if the Heavenly Court didn't pay attention to it?
