Inner Palace forcibly would also be simple, but unfortunately, he temporarily abandoned it because of the abnormal situation of his soul during the Swallowing Soul cultivation.Now that I think about i...Lingxiao Palace Market was as bustling as ever, with people coming and going. Several restaurants on the upper floors were also filled with revelers enjoying drinks.

“Have you heard, my friends Our Lingxiao Palace has witnessed a once-in-a-millennium marvel.” At a bustling restaurant by the window, a young man in fine attire deliberately said with a flourish.

“What’s the strange thing” The several drinkers at the same table asked in unison.

“It was that guy named Lu Xia Tian who got the most foundation-building pills last time he entered the Blood Moon Forbidden Land. He hasn't even succeeded in building his foundation until now.” The noble youth said with delight, “Do you know about Lu Xia Tian He used to be a lone cultivator from望月城 and entered Lingxiao Palace together with me. His aptitude was really terrible. I even offended him back then. When I heard the news that he came out of the Blood Moon Forbidden Land, I was taken aback. I didn't expect him to be so unlucky. He failed even after taking dozens of foundation-building pills. It's really a waste of those medicinal pills, such a waste.” If it were me, I would have succeeded several times already.”

The young man in fine clothes felt both fortunate and regretful.

“Just you You’re only at the eleventh level of Qi refinement now. It’ll probably be a few years before you can even attempt foundation building, and you’d need a foundation building pill.” A young man sitting nearby, though acquainted with the youth in fine clothes, didn’t seem particularly close to him. He immediately questioned, “Even if you reach the thirteenth level, it’s not guaranteed that you’ll get a foundation building pill. Besides, Lu Xiaoteng hasn’t shown himself yet, his seclusion isn’t over and who knows what might happen”

Please note that I removed the extra "

Zhang Yang reached into his storage bag, but it was empty. Not even a single bit of alchemy materials remained. He couldn't help but slump back down in defeat.

“Here are forty spirit stones, give him a few extra for drinks.” Lu Xia Tian placed forty lower-grade spirit stones on the table.

"Yes, I will certainly follow your instructions," the middle-aged shopkeeper hurriedly said respectfully, secretly wondering about the relationship between this Nascent Soul senior and Zhang Yang. Luckily, he had been polite to Zhang Yang before, otherwise, if he were blamed by this Nascent Soul senior, he would be in deep trouble.

Lu Xia Tian nodded, got up and walked downstairs.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Hold on, friend!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Have you figured it out" Lu Xia tian stopped his figure. He had just put down dozens of spirit stones naturally to give Zhang Yang a little favor, but he didn't have much hope. Seeing that Zhang Yang's attitude had loosened a bit, he was naturally quite pleased.

“This is not a place to talk, friend. Come with me.” Zhang Yang sighed and led Lu Xiaoxiao out of the tavern directly. After turning several corners, they arrived at a dilapidated courtyard.

The small courtyard still retained the scent of elixir waste, from Peiyuan Dan to Yuangan Dan and so on.

"Have a look at my alchemy furnace," Zhang Yang took out a black, crystal-like furnace from his storage bag. It was as smooth and lustrous as black jade.

"A dan furnace forged from Hao Long Stone With your level as a junior alchemist, there's no reason you couldn't refine pills with such a good furnace." Lu Xia Tian's face flashed with surprise. This kind of dan furnace was extremely rare; it was the pinnacle among furnaces.

"As for my usual alchemy standards, refining pills is naturally no problem at all. But to obtain this alchemy furnace, I spent nearly five years of effort, finally getting it, but I was unfortunately targeted by others and chased, fleeing into the thousand-year ice cave where I suffered frostbite in my lung meridian. Now, my sensitivity to fire has dropped to an extreme point, and if time goes on, I might completely lose this ability." Zhang Yang's face carried a hint of hatred and pain.

Lu Xia Tian was speechless for a moment. A alchemist who lost his ability to sense heat, wasn't even as good as a regular alchemist.

Zhang Yang said angrily, “If you can swear an oath to help me exterminate that entire family, this alchemy furnace will be yours, free of charge. I won't take a single copper coin. And I'll give it to you right now.”

"I can't fulfill your request. To be honest, I don't really need this particular alchemy furnace. With some time, I could easily find some refining materials and have someone craft one for me." Lu Xia Tian shrugged his shoulders. Although Zhang Yang's situation was unfortunate, he wasn't the kind of person to interfere in others' affairs. He was ruthless towards his enemies but wouldn't easily go so far as to wipe out a family just for an alchemy furnace.

“Don't you want to know who the opponent is They are just a Qi Refining family from a secular country. With your strength, you could obliterate them with a flick of your wrist.” Zhang Yang said hurriedly.

"I'm not a person who's overflowing with a sense of justice, and I don't want to get involved in this feud that has nothing to do with me. As for your request, I'm afraid I can't help you." Lu Xia Tian shook his head and started to leave.

"Wait a moment." Zhang Yang shouted from behind.

"Is there anything else" Lu Xia Tian frowned and said.

"Then let's make a deal. I was originally from Yue Country, and after embarking on the path of cultivation, I left my homeland over forty years ago. I had one son, but you are going to Yue Country anyway. Could you go to my house and see if there is any child with spiritual roots If so, bring them back to Lingxiao Palace and take them as your disciple, raising them well. I can also give you this alchemy furnace." Zhang Yang's momentum suddenly deflated.

“What if your family doesn’t agree You’ve experienced it yourself, the path of cultivation is not easy.” Lu Xia Tian said, he didn’t want to force anyone.

"Just let it be, if they don't want to, then so be it." Zhang Yang sighed.

Why don't you do this yourself

“The cold has already seeped into my bones, there’s no cure for it now. Even if there was, I wouldn't have the strength to seek it out now.” Zhang Yang let out a bitter laugh.

“If you have spiritual roots, I can take them to Lingxiao Palace, or let them cultivate on the mountain where I am. However, I don’t plan to take disciples for now. Consider it.” Lu Xia Tian pondered in his heart. This time, the mission of going out to practice, the closer and more lively places had already been chosen by the previous teams of cultivators. The remaining remote places, Zhang Yang's mouth-described country Yue, was bordering Bei Liang Country. Going there wouldn’t be too much trouble.”

"Well, this is good then. To have the favor of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is considered fortunate enough," Zhang Yang pondered for a moment before extending his hand. The black pill furnace floated towards Lu Xiaottian's presence. "If you agree with one word, I would be rather suspicious. At least on the surface, you seem like an honest person. My afterlife, I entrust it to you."

It turned out that the previous attempts were just a test. Lu Xiaoteng smiled upon hearing this, of course, if he had agreed directly, these tests might not have been tests at all. As for this person, whether they wanted revenge or to delegate their affairs afterwards, it didn't concern him. Lu Xiaoteng took the alchemy furnace and left directly.

Qian Yue Peak, located in the northeastern corner of the Qinglian Peak region, is relatively secluded. The distribution of spiritual energy is moderate. In fact, Lu Xia Tian didn't have too many requirements for the richness of spiritual energy. He basically obtained the spiritual power he needed by absorbing medicinal pills directly. After all, with his aptitude, absorbing spiritual energy from the air directly was too slow. At this rate, it would take him years, even decades, to raise his cultivation level by one level.

However, at the foot of Qingyue Peak, a young disciple stood respectfully. From the air Lu Xia Tian, who was flying with his sword, looked somewhat familiar. He landed. Upon closer inspection, it was Luo Kang, who had taken good care of him during his time as an errand boy. Beside Luo Kang stood a young girl, fifteen or sixteen years old. Although she wasn't exceptionally beautiful, she was delicate and pretty.

"Lu, Lu Shishu!" Luo Kang saw the joy on Lu Xiaoteng's face first, then hurriedly bowed.

"How did you get here Who is this" Lu Xia Tian asked.

“This is my cousin, He Liping. Yes, she’s here to take care of Uncle Lu’s daily needs, like meals and chores. She can also help with other errands.” Luo Kang looked at Lu Xiaodao with a fawning expression.ghtly lowered her head, acknowledging Lu Xiaoteng's arrangement. "Let's go back first. If you don't show up, I guess the people on Fengqingshan will be too worried to breathe.""Hmm." Lu Xia Tian embra...
