nored even Qian Dali's veiled threats. All he could think about now was how to improve his pill refining skills as much as possible. Thankfully, after successfully establishing his foundation, he coul...>Happy New Year! Leaving the old and welcoming the new, I wish all book friends to receive lots of lucky money! Get rid of the burdens of the past and embrace the new year!>Originally, that was the plan. It's really not clever, Lu Xiaottian's mouth twitched, it's really interesting. A golden light flashed, and the Cracking Earth Blade appeared at his feet. Lu Xiaottian walked with his sword. He hadn't thought of this before, but now he finally realized that his physical strength was already strong enough. The stone carvings in the air couldn't hurt him anymore. He didn't need to be like before, hard-fighting with the group of stone soldiers on the ground. 。Lu Xia Tian sheathed the Chi Yan Li Huo Sword and donned the Fire Jiao Bow and Arrows, simultaneously commanding the Splitting Earth Blade to plunge rapidly toward the ground. 。

Drawing the bow and nocking an arrow, it shot out with a whooshing sound.

With mere physical strength, he easily drew back the Fire Dragon Bow. Several arrows embedded in stone carvings crashed to the ground, creating deep pits and sending up clouds of dust. 。Taking advantage of the moment when the remaining stone carvings were scattering in fear, Lu Xia Tian drew out the Dan Yuan Fire Jiao arrow and nocked it. 。The bronze figures on the ground perhaps sensed an unprecedented threat. 。Limping on an injured leg, he struggled forward, desperate to evade the deadly arrow. 。But it was too late. The Dan Yuan Fire Jiao arrow left the string with a burst, seeming to tear through the void with a cracking sound. 。Directly in the center, a terracotta warrior's head. 。With a deafening roar, the head of the crimson gold terracotta warrior exploded into countless tiny fragments. 。As soon as the Red Gold terracotta warrior died, most of the remaining terracotta warriors fled. They all headed in the direction of the stone cave that Lu Xia Tian had entered before. That was a dead end, but a few terracotta warriors hesitated, wanting to drag away the body of the Red Gold terracotta warrior. One even tried to beat on the Red Gold terracotta warrior's chest, as if trying to get the crystal inside. 。According to Lu Xia Tian's experience fighting the stone soldiers in the cave for a long time, these stone soldiers only have powerful strength when they are still alive. Once killed, the stone soldiers' originally solid bodies will begin to soften and eventually transform into ordinary stones. 。The body of the chi-gold terracotta warrior was originally incredibly sturdy, but after being killed by Lu Xiaoteng, its body began to degenerate. After being hit several times by ordinary terracotta warriors, cracks began to appear. 。The pale gold terra cotta statues' faces showed no joy, but from their more frequent movements, even these stones seemed to have an instinctual desire for strength. 。However, how could Lu Xia Tian let the other party succeed He fired a few ordinary fire dragon arrows again, shooting down several light golden stone figures that were the idea of the red gold stone figure master. 。In the blink of an eye, Lu Xiaotian had fallen to the ground. He stretched out his hand and forcefully broke the chest of the crimson gold terracotta warrior, which was already covered in cracks, extracting a transparent crystal of crimson gold. 。The spiritual energy contained within is far greater than that of the shallow gold crystals. It should be used only when needed, not wasted. 。Lu Xia Tian treasured this place dearly. He took out the crystal stone, then retracted the Fire Jiao arrow and took out the crystal stones from the bodies of the other shallow gold clay figurines. 。At this point, all the spirit stones on his body had been consumed. There weren't enough spirit stones to hasten the maturation of the Cold Maple Pill. Now that he was in the middle stage of Foundation Building, his cultivation speed was frighteningly slow. 。He needs to find a way to exchange for some spirit stones. The crystals inside these stone statues are not available outside. If they could be taken out and auctioned, they would probably fetch a good price. 。As for the other stone soldiers, why did they all rush into the stone cave Could there be some secrets in the cave he had been to before A flash of doubt crossed Lu Xiaoteng's mind. The red gold stone soldier had already been killed by him, and the remaining stone soldiers could not pose too much threat to him. With a flicker of his figure, Lu Xiaoteng had already jumped into the cave. 。His stone soldiers moved faster than ordinary ones. In no time, they passed through the narrow passage and arrived at the relatively spacious area at the bottom of the grotto. 。At this time, at the bottom of the stone cave, there were only five or six stone figures left. The previous nearly hundred had disappeared without a trace. 。And in front of these five or six stone figurines, a golden vortex suddenly appeared. The remaining stone figurines actually opened their mouths and spit out the crystals inside their bodies, merging with the vortex. A tremendous suction force was generated within the vortex, pulling all the remaining stone figurines into it. 。This time it really was self-inflicted, Lu Xia Tian although didn't want to get involved, also felt this huge irresistible pull. 。However, with his strength comparable to that of a sixth-rank body refinement cultivator, he naturally wouldn't be so easily pulled in. Given his personality, he disliked venturing into unfamiliar places without any understanding or knowledge of them. 。Especially this place could possibly be the real nest of the stone soldiers. 。Feeling that immense suction force, Lu Xia Tian drew out his Chi Yan Li Huo sword and plunged it into the ground. Grasping the hilt tightly, he resisted against the pulling force of the golden vortex. 。At first, he could still resist, but later on, the pulling force grew stronger and stronger. The cave behind him was actually collapsing. Lu Xia Tian's face changed. Even with his strength, being buried alive under this incredibly thick mountain would be extremely dangerous. 。"What the..." Lu Xia Tian exclaimed, pulling out the blazing fire sword from the ground and plunging headfirst into the golden vortex. 。In the golden vortex, there was no risk at all, but rather a pure and spiritual energy mixed with gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. In the distance, in the sky, it seemed like a five-colored cloud was floating, reminding Lu Xia Tian of the five-colored stone that the three major families had opened the Hun Yuan Dao Zang back then. 。Indeed, it is a representation of the five elemental forces. 。Underneath the five-colored clouds, mountains rose one after another. At the foot of the highest peak, there was an unassuming Taoist temple. Above its main gate were two ancient characters, "Hun Yuan," which gave a sense of completeness and infinity. 。Could this be the core of the Hun Yuan Dao Zang Lu Xia Tian was overjoyed. If that were true, he would have turned misfortune into good fortune. 。A green shadow flashed past, mixed with a strong woody aura. Lu Xia Tian fixed his gaze and saw that it was a wood-type monster beast, quadrupedal, with half the height of a man in its eyes. It was a black-haired crow, "Wu Jing!" A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Xia Tian's face. Wu Jing is a He Shou Wu that has lived for over a thousand years. After absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, there is a very low probability that it will evolve into... 。This type of wood-based monster possesses exceptional regenerative abilities. Ordinary Qi Condensation cultivators rarely encounter them, and even Golden Core cultivators find their healing powers highly effective after severe injuries. 。However, its value might not be below that of the red gold crystal stone in Lu Xia Tian's hands. 。"Sir in front, please help us block for a while. If we capture this black spirit, we will surely repay you with great kindness." 。At the same time that Wu Jing appeared, several figures came riding on swords from the sky. 。This u-jing, although lacking in lethality, was incredibly fast. Lu Xia Tian actually wanted to get his hands on it, but the u-jing was very cunning. As soon as it saw him, it immediately changed direction and slipped under Lu Xia Tian's eyelids. 。"Eh, Big Brother Lu!" A young lady with a light and graceful air, dressed in a green dress and with a veil covering her face, said with some surprise. 。“Luo Qing” 。Lu Xia Tian saw the masked girl and was slightly surprised before regaining his composure. Among his female friends, only Luo Qing had this kind of temperament, and would address him in this way. 。It's quite a coincidence, isn't it We first met on the flying warship at Gujian Sect, then briefly in Yue Country, and outside Wangyue City. Now we've run into each other again. 。 Judging by their tone, Senior Sister Luo seems quite familiar with this person. 。"The head of the Man Beast Sect, Zong Sheng, was a young man with a robust and imposing physique. He wore a tiger-skin short tunic, revealing two powerfully muscled arms, giving him a wild look." 。"Their relationship goes beyond just familiarity, it's incredibly deep. I can tell that Luo Shimei has a special feeling for this Lu guy. Although all of us have been pursuing Luo Shimei, it's all in good fun and competition. But if this Lu guy really shows up, we'll all be clueless." 。"Tao Feng of the Moyang Sect's face darkened as he transmitted sound, “Although I’ve been by Luo Qing’s side this whole time, he treats me indifferently. There's nothing special about him at all. It's like I'm pressing my hot face against a cold butt." 。But the always proud Lu Qing, once he met Lu Xia Tian, completely changed his demeanor. The usually self-righteous him couldn't accept that he was inferior to an ordinary cultivator. 。Since that's the case, senior brother should find an opportunity to show him what he's truly capable of. 。"Zong Qing chuckled and trailed closely behind," 。In the blink of an eye, three cultivators from the Man Beast Sect and three cultivators from the Magic Yang Sect reached a consensus. 。Tao Jing was just about to open her mouth to remind him, but Tao Feng gave her a warning look from beside her. 。"Senior brother, this Lu Xia Tian is very difficult to deal with. It's said that even Yuan Hao, the genius cultivator of Gu Jian Zong, has been defeated by this person several times. Be careful." 。Tao Jing nodded slightly in understanding, grasping Tao Feng's meaning. 。"That was a long time ago. When I first saw Lu Xia Tian, his cultivation level wasn't high, and I don't know how he is now. It just so happens that Zong Sheng can test his depth. Even if Zong Sheng suffers a bit, it doesn't matter much. It's good to temper his arrogance." 。"Tao Feng coldly transmitted his voice, saying that while he seemed to be friendly with the people of the Barbarians Sect, in reality, they both had ulterior motives. " 。Since first seeing Lu Xia Tian in Yue Guo, and witnessing the stark difference between Luo Qing's treatment of him compared to other cultivators, Tao Feng spent some effort looking into Lu Xia Tian's background. He even learned about Lu Xia Tian's fight with Yuan Hao outside Wang Yue City. Out of caution, he didn't take things lightly at all. 。That's fine too, Tao Jing nodded. 。Lu Xiaottian had a stomach full of questions, but before he could ask, Luo Qing, who was in high spirits, chattered excitedly about the general events. They also caught some scattered news and arrived one after another. Several batches came first, but according to Luo Qing, they only encountered some ordinary fourth-order and fifth-order monsters, obtaining quite a few valuable spiritual objects along the way. It took them just over three months to break into this place. Lu Xiaottian was speechless for a moment. It was truly different fates for different people. He had a hard time getting here, barely surviving, and his spirit stones were completely depleted. 。It has been many years since our hasty parting in Yue Country, Lu Brother. Your bearing remains unchanged. I initially felt that the factions within this Hun Yuan Dao Zang were complex and intertwined, leaving me feeling isolated and outnumbered. Now, with your arrival, we finally have a powerful ally. 。"Tao Feng gave Lu Xiaitian a friendly nod with a smile." 。"Brother Tao, you flatter me. I'm just an ordinary cultivator, how could I be considered a strong reinforcement" 。Lu Xia Tian replied. 。"At least he knows his own limitations." 。"Zong Sheng didn't give Lu Xia Tian any face, coldly saying..." 。"Others don't know, but with Brother Lu's abilities, it would be easy for him to deal with you. " 。Luo Qing, upon hearing this, raised her willow eyebrows and said, "The few of them are no more than cultivators at the middle stage of foundation establishment. She could clearly feel the surging powerful aura emanating from Zong Sheng and the others. Among those at the fourth layer of foundation establishment, they were considered outstanding, but they were only somewhat threatening. In contrast, Lu Xiaofeng's body was shrouded in a faint aura, seemingly weaker than Zong Sheng's. However, Luo Qing was certain that Lu Xiaofeng was not as weak as he appeared on the surface." 。A few years ago, even she wouldn't have found it easy to defeat Yuan Hao, who already had a solid foundation and possessed the blazing sun double-edged sword. 。"You won't know until you try." 。"Zong Sheng, upon hearing this, couldn't maintain a composure on his face and said with a grave expression:" 。"Well, in this perilous place, Brother Lu and we are friends, not foes. The more people there are, the greater the strength. As for the exchange of skills between us, if you are interested, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." 。"Tao Feng played the role of a good guy to smooth things over, then shifted the focus to the other side: "The group of alien cultivators had already entered the Five Elements Palace. If we lag too far behind, when others have finished their share, we might not even be able to get a drop of soup." 。"What's the matter with Wuxing Palace" Lu Xia Tian asked. As for Tao Feng's seemingly kind gesture, he naturally didn't care. When he was talking to Luo Qing just now, Tao Feng's lips kept trembling, and he seemed to have been transmitting messages to the people from Man Beast Sect for a while. It's very likely that they were talking about him. 。However, he had never heard the term "Five Elements Palace" before entering the Mixed Yuan Dao Zang. 。"It's that Taoist temple on the mountain. It looks like an ordinary Taoist temple, but it actually contains the Five Elements. The environment inside is ever-changing and unpredictable. We went in once and obtained some spiritual objects, but we were later chased by cultivators from the Heavenly Wolf Sect. We fought hard but don't know if we won or lost before escaping from the Five Elements Palace." 。According to our observations and judgments, this Five Elements Palace should be at the core of the Hun Yuan Dao Zang. 。"Luo Qing explained," 。"Then it's worth the trip." 。Lu Xia Tian's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He hadn't found the follow-up exercises to the Hun Yuan Jing until now. Since it was the core area of the Hun Yuan Dao Zang, there must be some unexpected gains. 。Including Lu Xia Tian and his nine companions, the three from Moyang Sect and the three from the Beast Clan Sect, Luo Qing, and a female disciple named Jin Yue from Gujian Sect. 。However, only two were in the early stage of foundation building, while the others were mid-stage cultivators. Although compared to other teams that entered the Dao Zang, they lacked a late-stage foundation building cultivator to lead the way, their combined strength of nine people was still considerable. 。Moreover, the Hun Yuan Dao Zang is fraught with danger, and it's not that those with greater strength will necessarily gain the most. What matters even more is opportunity. 。Just like Wen Fu, those late-stage cultivators surrounded by yellow sand, their strength was absolutely not weak. They had spent several years honing their skills there, and even several cultivators from the Golden Silkworm Valley in Nanhuang had died at his hands. 。It's just that a few people mentioned the cultivators from Tianlangzong a moment ago, it's not necessarily the same group he encountered before. That young man from Tianlangzong was quite powerful. 。 in your body is too risky for us to forcefully expel." 。With your own strength, you'd probably only be able to force it out of your body after reaching the Golden Core Stage. However, I have heard of...
