One of them was a hunchbacked old man in his sixties called Hunchback He. He was in the fourth layer of Qi Refinement and had a goatee. He had a stooped body and a cold attitude. He only cupped his hands at Lu Xiaotian to show that he knew him.
There was also a young man in his twenties called Wang Ping. His spirit weapon was a black iron rod. It was a low level spirit weapon. Although it wasn't very sharp, it should be a power type. He was in the third layer of Qi Refinement and had the lowest cultivation in the group. However, he seemed to be quite strong.
"Didn't you say there were only eight people? Why is there nine now? "Lu Xiaotian looked at Luo Yuan.
Before Luo Yuan could speak, Fan Qing waved the horsetail whisk in his hand and smiled. "Originally, there were only eight people. Because Hunchback He had the pill recipe for the Essence Qi Pill, he insisted that we join the group before showing the pill recipe. This poor Daoist considered Little Friend Lu and agreed on his own accord. Fellow Daoist Luo shouldn't have any objections, right? "
"Of course I have no objections. One more person in the group means one more portion of strength." Luo Yuan shook his head.
"If that's the case, why did the departure time that we originally agreed on be pushed forward by nearly a month?" Lu Xiaotian didn't take Fan Qing's goodwill to heart. There was no free lunch in this world. They were neither relatives nor friends. He didn't believe that Fan Qing would do so much for a pill recipe.
"Hunchback He also provided information about the Silver-Winged Centipede. This poor Daoist is determined to obtain the Silver-Winged Centipede's Yao Dan. This poor Daoist only wants the Silver-Winged Centipede's Yao Dan. I won't take any of the spirit herbs or spirit stones that we encounter along the way. What does Little Friend Lu think?" Fan Qing said.
Lu Xiaotian remembered that the Silver-Winged Centipede's Yao Dan was a requirement in the Savage Beast Sect's mission. The Savage Beast Sect was a rather powerful sect. It seemed that Fan Qing's ambition wasn't small. However, the spirit items found in the Full Moon Mountain Range were basically all taken by other cultivators. No one was sure which direction would lead them to the spirit items they wanted. Thus, it didn't make any difference to Lu Xiaotian or the others.
"Give me the Essence Qi Pill recipe. I have no objections." Lu Xiaotian said.
"I heard that Little Friend Lu has a lot of Qi Gathering Pills. I'm very poor. I don't dare to ask for middle stage Qi Refinement realm pills. five pills would be enough."
A smile finally appeared on Hunchback He's cold face. Like most middle stage qi practitioners, when they didn't have the right medicinal pills, they could only make do with inferior medicinal pills.
Lu Xiaotian threw a pill bottle to Hunchback He and held the Origin Qi Pill formula in his hand. He couldn't help but feel a trace of joy in his heart. According to his current progress, he should be able to use this formula in less than two years. ........ com....
. com..... com............... ...... es. mountains..... mountains........... was................ ............................... .................................... They marked out the general topography of the nearby area. However, if one went too deep, they could still get lost.
Demonic beasts, demonic insects, and demonic birds ran rampant in the mountains. Tens of thousands of wandering cultivators were like stones thrown into the sea. Once they got lost, it wouldn't be long before they were swallowed by the demonic beasts in the Full Moon Mountain Range.
Outside the city gate, thousands of wandering cultivators split into hundreds of small groups and entered the mountains. Many cultivators who liked to show off wore armor that gave off golden light. They were very eye-catching.
There were also cultivators who raised spirit beasts. They rode fierce tiger spirit beasts and wolf spirit beasts. There were even cultivators who rode huge black eagles with a wingspan of over three meters. This caused the cultivators below to sigh in admiration. Rank two spirit beasts were not inferior to most middle stage Qi Refinement cultivators in terms of strength. They could also fly. With a spirit beast, it was convenient to go anywhere.
Lu Xiaotian suddenly felt a resentful gaze staring at him from the crowd. After cultivating, his senses became much more sensitive. He was especially sensitive to danger and such obviously malicious gazes.
Lu Xiaotian narrowed his eyes and looked over. He saw a middle-aged man in a blue robe with a huge sword on his back staring at him. The middle-aged man in the blue robe looked vaguely familiar, but Lu Xiaotian couldn't remember where he had met this person and why he had such strong hostility towards him. However, this person was only at 40% Qi Refinement. His cultivation was higher than the other party's, so there was nothing to be afraid of. Thinking of this, Lu Xiaotian also glared back fiercely.
Situ Yong was shocked. Ever since his son died, he was immersed in the pain of losing his son. After collecting Lu Xiaotian's portrait, he went into the Full Moon Mountain Range.
All the way to Full Moon City, there was a vast sea of people. He originally thought that there was no hope of seeing the enemy who killed his son, but he didn't expect to unexpectedly meet him at the city gate. Situ Yong was pleasantly surprised, but he was shocked to find that the cultivation of the young man in front of him was actually one level higher than his. What was he supposed to do? Seeing Lu Xiaotian glare back at him, Situ Yong tilted his head to avoid it. At the same time, he was thinking about what to do next.
"Brother Lu, do you have a grudge with this person?" Luo Yuan asked in a low voice.
"I don't know him." Lu Xiaotian filtered through all the people he had offended in the past and found that he didn't have any interactions with the other party. However, the hatred in the other party's eyes made him secretly remember it.
"He's only at the fourth layer of Qi Refinement. If he doesn't know what's good for him, it won't take much effort to find an opportunity to deal with him after entering the mountain. How about Lu Daoyou give me a few Aura-Gathering Pills and I'll go take his head. "
A fragrant wind came from behind him. Lu Xiaotian turned around and found that Wang Yuan's voluptuous body was already very close to him. When he turned around, he almost bumped into her swollen breasts. Lu Xiaotian was a genuine virgin. This was the first time the opposite sex was so close to him. Instantly, his neck flushed and he hurriedly took a step back. "No need. If he wants to die, I can deal with him myself."
"That's right. Brother Lu's cultivation is not lower than yours. It's not worthwhile for you to act." Luo Qing looked at Wang Yuan in annoyance.
"I just want to remind you that the deal between Fan Qing and Hunchback He is definitely not simple. These two siblings seem to trust you quite a bit. At the critical moment, only you two can restrain Fan Qing. When the time comes, they will stand on your side."
Wang Yuan whispered a few words into Lu Xiaotian's ear. Then, she glanced at Luo Qing and giggled, retreating a few steps to the side.
"This vixen!" Luo Qing scolded in a low voice and reminded Lu Xiaotian, "Brother Lu, this woman is very mysterious. Don't believe her words so easily."
"I won't." Lu Xiaotian chuckled. Luo Qing seemed to have some kind of enmity towards Wang Yuan. However, Wang Yuan was not simple. He also felt that there was something fishy about it, but he could not pinpoint it at the moment.
"Let's go quickly. We must reach a gathering point of the rogue cultivators in the mountains before nightfall to rest. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous to travel at night." Fan Qing said.
Everyone nodded. The demon beasts' activities were more frequent at night. If they did not reach the gathering point of the rogue cultivators, their team would be easily attacked by the demon beasts.
The other rogue cultivators who left the city clearly had the same idea. After leaving the city gate, the rogue cultivators increased their speed and took a step forward. They used the Light Body Technique and the Imperial Wind Technique. With each step, they covered a distance of several feet.
The leopard's speed was not slow. However, Lu Xiaotian spent most of his time refining pills and cultivating. There were plenty of spirit stones in the barrier. He would not ride the leopard for the sake of convenience. Now was a rare opportunity to practice spells.
After using spells, everyone's speed suddenly increased. The tall city of Full Moon City disappeared behind them.
After entering the mountain forest, although other rogue cultivator teams passed by them from time to time, there were many gathering points of rogue cultivators in the mountains. Each of them had their own resting and replenishment points. As they walked in different directions, there were fewer and fewer rogue cultivators around them.
After running for an hour, Hunchback He suggested, "There are too many rogue cultivator teams passing by on the way to the gathering point. Even if there are spiritual items, most of them have been taken by others. I know a small path that fewer people use. The path is closer, but the road conditions are a bit bad. For us cultivators, there is not much difference. Perhaps we can find some spiritual herbs, spirit stones, and the like on the way if we are lucky."
"That's good too. We haven't encountered anything along the way. It's extremely boring." Hunchback He's suggestion was quickly supported by Zhang Guang. It was also Zhang Guang's first time entering the mountains. He had long been impatient with this kind of boring journey.
The others did not have any objections. There were many rogue cultivators entering and exiting this area. There was not much danger during the day. If it was night time, there might be demonic beasts from other places.
"Alright, I will lead the way. Although there are no powerful demonic beasts, there are some annoying demonic insects and the like. Everyone better put up a protective barrier."
After speaking, an earth spirit barrier with a faint yellow halo appeared around Hunchback He's body. Its defense was weaker than the earth spirit armor, but it consumed less essence and could last longer. It could prevent the attacks of some low level demonic insects and demonic beasts.
Luo Yuan and the others all put up protective barriers. There were water spirit barriers, fire spirit barriers, and so on. Lu Xiaotian held a sword in his right hand and a spirit talisman in his left palm. At the same time, he also added a vajra barrier to himself and carefully followed the group.
Hunchback He led the group across a stream and over two small mountains. They were at the top of a small mountain. There were many tea trees growing on the hillside. Many restaurants in Full Moon City gave their customers the cheapest spirit tea from these tea trees. A small winding path wound downwards, bypassing a dense bamboo forest.
This time, the hot-tempered Zhang Guang ran in front.
"Hey, Spring Congealing Grass!"
Luo Qing's eyes were good. She just happened to see a stalk of spirit grass under the cover of a few tea trees at the edge of the bamboo forest. She was pleasantly surprised. She rushed forward and picked the spirit grass in her hands. She turned to Lu Xiaotian and said.
"Big Brother Lu, do you have any use for this herb?"
"It should be useful in the future. This stalk of Spring Congealing Grass looks less than two years old. It's worth three low-grade spirit stones. Take this Qi Gathering Pill first. You can make up for the rest later."
Lu Xiaotian put away the Spring Congealing Grass and put it into his storage bag. In fact, he sent it into the barrier. The Spring Congealing Grass could be used to refine the Spring Returning Pill. It could heal many magical injuries. In many cases, it could even save one's life.
