"Moreover, there is Earth Flame Poison in that ruined well. Even late Jin Dan stage cultivators wouldn't be able to stay in there for long without an antidote. This person was able to remain unaffected in the marquis's estate for more than thirty years. His identity isn't as simple as it seems. If he doesn't have an extraordinary background, then he must be a brilliant alchemist. Regardless of which it is, you and I must not lower our guard, "Cao Sheng said solemnly.
"Formation knowledge, alchemist, or extremely astonishing background. Boss, the person you found is not simple at all. "Cao Guang glanced at Cao Kun exasperatedly.
"Although this person is not simple, he has no ill intentions towards our marquis's estate. The marquis's estate has been in danger several times thanks to Lu Xiaotian. I think that there is no harm in Patriarch befriending him. If he can be of use to our marquis's estate, our strength will definitely increase greatly, "Cao Kun said after some thought, not taking Cao Guang's complaints to heart.
"Yes, Boss's words are reasonable. Let's wait and see first. Treat him with respect and don't spread this news. An expert like Lu Xiaotian is not affiliated with any faction for the time being. Once the other aristocratic families in Wushang City learn of this, I'm afraid that they will do everything they can to poach him from our Cao Estate. If he has ulterior motives, then so be it. But if he is really just an ordinary cultivator, we brothers will have no place to hide our faces if the other families poach him from our estate. "Finally, Cao Sheng made the decision.
"Right, I almost forgot to tell Patriarch that the person Patriarch ordered was also arranged to stay in Lu Xiaotian's small courtyard. Is that appropriate?" Cao Kun suddenly thought of something else. "When Patriarch left, I was worried that this person would offend Second Young Master. Previously, I thought that Lu Xiaotian was vigilant and asked Lu Xiaotian to take care of him."
"This unfilial son is truly incapable of accomplishing anything, but good at spoiling things. Let's ignore him for now and wait and see. In that case, Lu Xiaotian might be one of their people. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence? "Cao Sheng's face darkened. When he thought that Lu Xiaotian might have already found a partner, his mood naturally worsened.
Cao Sheng had just returned to the residence, so there were many things on hand. The two brothers, Cao Kun, and a few others were having a secret discussion. At this time, Lu Xiaotian had just returned to his room when a voice sounded from outside.
"I'm Xi 'er, and I'm here to visit Senior Lu. I wonder if it's convenient for Senior Lu?" Outside the courtyard, Cao Xier's voice was crisp and soft.
"I'm all alone, what's so inconvenient about it? I wonder what brings Third Miss here?"
Lu Xiaotian came out of the room. At this time, Cao Xier had changed into an apricot yellow dress. Her waist was tied with a slightly wide golden belt, showing off her slender waist and exquisite figure. Cao Xier was originally very beautiful, and now that she had deliberately dressed up, she looked even more attractive.
"Senior Lu is too polite. Senior Lu is Xi 'er's benefactor. You can call Xi' er by name. Just now, my father was polite to Senior Lu, but he was also worried that Senior Lu would not be used to this simple and crude courtyard. He asked Xi 'er to come and see if Senior Lu needed anything else, "Cao Xier said gently.
"Thank your father for my kindness. I usually put more energy into cultivation, so I don't have many requirements for external things." Lu Xiaotian shook his head.
"Then Xi 'er will come to visit Senior Lu tomorrow." Cao Xier saw that Lu Xiaotian did not say anything else and had no intention of inviting her in. Her eyes could not help but flash with a trace of disappointment. But soon, Cao Xier concealed it very well, and her figure swayed as she left the courtyard.
Lu Xiaotian frowned slightly. He did not have a good way to deal with this kind of thing. After all, he was in the Cao residence, and Cao Sheng had returned, so he could not be as casual as before.
But fortunately, Zhen Wei Marquis Cao Sheng did not mind him staying in the residence. He did not need to stay in the Zhen Wei Marquis residence for too long. After a few years, the remaining Demon Sealing Pagoda would be completed. But if there were any strange occurrences, Zhen Wei Marquis might not be completely reliable. One must always be vigilant. But he only needed to reshape the Silver Leaf Pagoda and gather the wood pieces needed for the two Demon Sealing Pagoda. After leaving this place, he could still refine the pagoda. It was just that the time would be slightly slower.
There was no such thing as smooth sailing in this world. Lu Xiaotian felt that being able to stay in the Cao residence for more than thirty years was already not bad. Thinking back, although he had experienced a few battles in these thirty years, it could not be compared to the dangers in the Misty Palace. Using these thirty years, he entered the middle stage of the Jin Dan realm. His realm was more stable, and his Fa Li was more solid. More importantly, he had refined the Demon Sealing Pagoda, cultivated the Misty Sword Technique, and refined several sword blades. Later on, he only needed to collect some Kongming Sword Stones, and he could refine all eight sword pills. The Misty Sword Formation was also not a technique that a Jin Dan cultivator could use. Although he had not heard any news about the Kongming Sword Stones in the past ten years, Lu Xiaotian was not in a hurry. Whether it was the Demon Sealing Pagoda or the sword pills, their power was far beyond ordinary techniques. The Great Art of Soul Devouring had also improved greatly in these ten years of cultivation. Lu Xiaotian vaguely felt that the Great Art of Soul Devouring had also reached a certain bottleneck. Perhaps after another breakthrough, he would be able to display even greater strength.
Lu Xiaotian did not immediately return to his room. His hands were behind his back. Now that his strength had increased to a certain extent, it would be difficult for him to grow much more slowly. He could only rely on the accumulation of time. But this was not a bad thing. If he really wanted to talk about it, perhaps only the Brahma Luo Spiritual Fire could help him break through. After obtaining the Brahma Luo Spiritual Fire, Lu Xiaotian gradually understood that at this moment, he was like having a rare treasure, but he did not know how to use it. At this moment, Lu Xiaotian realized that his control of the Brahma Luo Spiritual Fire was extremely shallow. He only knew how to use his Primordial Spirit to control the Brahma Luo Spiritual Fire to envelop the enemy. Most of the time, he let the Brahma Luo Spiritual Fire kill the enemy. It was like holding a peerless treasure, but he did not know how to use it.
As the night gradually approached, Lu Xiaotian did not return to his room. Instead, he walked directly in the direction of the dry well. However, there were two people walking towards him. One of them was an ordinary woman who lived in the same courtyard as him, but had not spoken a word for ten years. The other was an ordinary woman.
"Lu Daoyou, we haven't seen each other for ten years. I didn't expect you to come to this courtyard. How have you been?"
Lu Xiaotian was about to pass by when the middle-aged woman took the initiative to speak. She looked at Lu Xiaotian with a smile.
