Chapter 179: Departure

mbat power. However, it seemed that Di Kun needed time to settle and awaken his full strength after entering the seventh stage. At least now, without formations or other external forces to help him, h...After obtaining the Beilingcao, he finally overcame the last hurdle of his body refinement. At this point, his physique had already become significantly stronger than before. 。After removing the power of lightning, his strength will also increase greatly. 。Of course, although his own attacks could only be compared to those of a Qi Refining cultivator at this time, over the past six months, under the recuperation of the Soul Nurturing Pill, his deputy soul had already recovered. 。Moreover, he eradicated Yue Song using the Seven Star Array and obtained Yue Song's centipede puppet. He could also control the puppet to fight. 。Combat effectiveness is no less than that of an average Qi Refining cultivator. 。Through half a year of research and development, he has significantly improved his skills in controlling puppets. 。Apart from the centipede puppet, Yue Song and Lao Huang's storage bags also contained several low-level qi refining late stage, great perfection puppets. 。With his injuries still not healed, Lu Xia Tian did not plan to continue traveling for the time being. 。Life at the racetrack was unusually peaceful. The people there knew that despite his young age, Lu Xia Tian was a hidden master. 。Originally, only a few rudimentary martial arts skills were known to both brother and sister, not even enough to qualify as a low-ranking martial artist in the Jianghu. 。After more than half a year, his martial arts had reached an astonishing level. 。These people who are responsible for herding horses feel both envy and admiration. 。Someone wanted to become Lu Xiaotian's apprentice, but they rarely even got to see him in person. They were brought out by Chi Lin. 。These people also understood at this time that Lu Xia Tian had not come into contact with more people as imagined, so they could only sigh helplessly and lament how lucky the Chi siblings were. 。

Brother and sister, Chi Kun and Chi Lin, also had some differences. Although Chi Kun was the elder brother, after he became proficient in martial arts, he preferred the outside world more and often went to the county town.

Every time he came back, he would bring a load of things and excitedly tell Ji-lin about how bustling and lively the streets of Gungju were. 。and Chi Lin preferred to stay by Lu Xia Tian's side, practicing martial arts skillfully. 。Apart from his cultivation, Lu Xia Tian would sometimes take the initiative to give Chi Lin pointers on her swordsmanship. This resulted in their sparring sessions where Chi Lin often emerged as the more skilled one. 。Two months passed, and after a period of cultivation, Chi Kun's restlessness grew. He even started running to the county town more frequently than before. 。By dusk, Chi Kun had returned, but he was not alone. Hundreds of heavily armored black iron cavalry followed in his wake. 。The first one's aura was even colder than that of Qi Kun. At a glance, one could tell he was a seasoned warrior who had been through countless battles and possessed an unyielding ruthlessness. 。Hundreds of imposing cavalry flanked two luxurious eight-horse carriages. 。The sound of hooves clattering drew the attention of everyone in the meadow. Ji Lin, holding a short sword, rushed out, her face grim as she eyed the hundreds of iron riders with apprehension. 。Seeing that Chi Kun was unharmed, I temporarily felt a little relieved. 。But soon, Chi Lin frowned and asked, "Big brother, what's going on Why did you bring so many people to the racetrack" "Uh, it wasn't me who brought these people here, they came from the landlord..." 。She, they are going to see the master. 。"Chi Kun scratched his head and said awkwardly," 。At this time, a jade hand lifted the curtain, and a luxuriously dressed woman stepped out of the carriage. A beautiful young girl, about twenty years old, followed her down from the carriage. She was as lovely as a peach blossom. 。But in another carriage came a white-haired, sharp-eyed old man, accompanied by a girl of fifteen or sixteen, ordinary in appearance but remarkably composed. 。Besides, there was also a monk with a big belly, wearing monk's robes. 。Though these three individuals didn't possess particularly strong auras, they made Chi Kun glance at them with fear. 。I originally thought that with his skills, few people could match him except for his master and sister. But I didn't expect that after the monk made a move, he couldn't even resist and was captured by the other party. 。At the sound of Mrs. Xiao's address, the fat monk and the old man, along with the three girls, seemed like immortals. 。Could these people be legendary immortals

"Master Chi, this must be your sister. She's truly beautiful, a natural beauty."

Where is your master Several immortals also want to meet him. 。Mrs. Xiao spoke gracefully to Chi Kun, 。Although both Qi Kun and his sister were employed by the Xiao family at the racetrack, their displayed abilities were no less than those of peerless martial artists. Such talents placed in Chixia County, or even the entire Wei Kingdom, besides those high-ranking immortals, would be the most top-tier existence among all martial artists. 。If one is capable, one naturally shouldn't treat them as inferiors. 。Moreover, the two of them had a mysterious master behind them. 。As a descendant of a prestigious family, Mrs. Xiao was incredibly approachable. With just two simple sentences, she dispelled most of Chi Lin's hostility. 。"I, I, my master, don't even know if he wants to see you. Let me ask him." 。"Chi Lin hesitated for a moment. With so many people here, it seemed inappropriate to directly turn them away. Besides, this stable was still under the Xiao family's..." 。Let's have a few of us immortals wait outside. We'll see if your master wants to see us. Your master certainly has quite the airs! 。The fat monk said with a strange air, glaring at Chi Kun, “Your sister is being unreasonable. Don't you know any better Go call your master out here!” “My master isn’t someone who works at the stable. Why should he meet with you” 。"Chi Lin, upon hearing this, immediately became enraged. She glared at the fat monk." 。"Farewell, little sister. This Immortal is truly formidable." 。"Qi Kun was startled. He knew how powerful the fat monk was, and fearing that the fat monk might be unhappy, Qi Kun quickly dismounted and pulled Qi Lin to the side." 。“Not knowing how to appreciate oneself's worth” 。The fat monk's face fell, and a startling aura suddenly emanated from his body. His robes fluttered without wind, and the powerful energy he exuded caused hundreds of warhorses to become restless and agitated. These horses were rigorously trained and would never behave this way even on the battlefield. 。While Brother and Sister Chi Kun, who were at the heart of the whirlpool directly facing the pressure of the fat monk, turned even paler. 。“You're the one who doesn't know what's good for you.” 。A faint voice echoed, and two massive black shadows swooped down from the sky. 。 。But was unusually agile. 。And there was also a black shadow, a similarly tall and imposing, jet-black bear. 。Even a wooden person would be tolerable, but this one has wings and moves with incredible speed and agility. 。But the black bear was made of bronze, heavy and solid. Every move it made caused the ground to tremble slightly. 。Two puppets, one in front of the other, trapped the fat monk and the old man, as well as the young girl, between them. 。The appearance of the two puppet beasts caused the fat monk's momentum to abruptly stop. 。Qi Kun and Qi Lin felt light as a feather all over. 。

"Fat monk, this is what you brought upon yourself. Don't blame us grandkids for this!"

The old man hurriedly pulled the girl away and retreated to one side. Seeing that the two puppets did not stop them, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. 。There's also a bit of schadenfreude here. This portly monk is usually quite flamboyant and arrogant... 。But his cultivation level is only at the fifth layer of Qi Refining. Encountering these puppets, which are between the second and third ranks, he might be in for a tough time. 。"Master!" Seeing Lu Xiaitian come out of the room, Chi Lin called out pitifully and retreated behind Lu Xiaitian. 。Although she was surprised by the appearance of the two monsters, in Li Lin's heart, this young master was naturally capable of anything. 。When these people saw that Ji Lin called a young master, the hundreds present were shocked. Such a young man had actually made this rather boastful fat immortal sweat profusely. 。"This Immortal, I am the mistress of the Xiao family. This plump Immortal and these two Zhao Immortals are all distinguished guests invited by the Xiao residence." 。< The Venerable Fat Immortal is a person of passion. If my words offend you in any way, please forgive me. > 。“Seeing the tense atmosphere, Madam Xiao blamed the fat monk for stirring up trouble inwardly, but she couldn't let the situation worsen. So, she could only grit her teeth and step forward.” 。"Yes, yes, as a monk I've always been straightforward. If I have offended you earlier, please forgive me, this is a small token of my appreciation, as compensation for your disciples." 。The situation was tense, and I hadn't expected the other party to be such a skilled puppet master. 。Controlling two puppet beasts at the same time, he was already struggling to deal with just one, let alone two. 。And he couldn't sense the depth of Lu Xiaoteng's cultivation at all. 。The fat monk couldn't help but curse himself for being too quick with his words. It seemed that he had spent too long with these worldly mortals, cultivating a conceited attitude. Now, he had finally met his match. 。The portly monk, with a pained expression, pulled out a low-grade spiritual sword and obsequiously looked towards Lu Xia Tian and Chi Lin. 。All the cavalry present couldn't help but marvel. They had never seen the usually arrogant and conceited fat monk so meek and subdued before. 。"I don't want anything you give me" 。"With a flick of her neck, Chi Lin said," 。The fat monk suddenly blushed with embarrassment, looking at Lu Xiaoteng flatteringly. Although they outnumbered him, mundane folk couldn't help in a dispute between cultivators. As for that Zhao family grandfather and grandson, they weren't on the same side as him anyway. 。"Take this, it will be of some use to you later." 。Lu Xia Tian glanced at the low-grade spiritual sword the fat monk had pulled out. It was only a level 2 refining qi sword, something that even cultivators of the third layer might not notice. However, for ordinary martial artists, it was already a rare and powerful weapon. 。He did have some magical artifacts, but their quality was too high. An innocent man with a gem would be implicated by it. 。

Giving to Chi Lin siblings will only bring them disaster.

The fat monk drew out this spirit sword, which was just right. 。Yes, Master 。"Chi Lin heard this and finally retrieved the azure short sword. She drew it out and took a look, finding its edge to be exceptionally sharp. A glimmer of delight flashed across her eyes. Deep down, she still quite liked this sword." 。"This honorable Immortal, since a meteorite fell from the heavens half a year ago in Canghai Ridge of Chixia County, there have been numerous incidents due to the leakage of terrestrial fire. " 。...to the present day, the entire Cangling Ridge has been unbearably hot, and this heat is showing signs of spreading to surrounding areas. This year's autumn harvest has been meager for many farmers, and if the problem isn't addressed before next spring planting, nearly a million people in the entire Chixia County could be facing famine. ... 。The calamity in Chixia County has exceeded the capacity of ordinary mortals to resolve. As instructed by the current Regent King, this humble servant seeks out cultivators throughout the land. I sincerely hope that this esteemed Immortal will not find this arduous task burdensome and might consider joining other Immortals in addressing this grave disaster. 。"When Madam Xiao saw that Lu Xiaoteng had no intention of making a move, she let out a breath and explained her intentions. Worried that Lu Xiaoteng would refuse, Madam Xiao added, “If the Immortal Venerable agrees, starting today, I will offer the Immortal Venerable three lower-grade spirit stones per month.” 。If this can help alleviate the disaster, I will be eternally grateful. 。“Can you provide spirit stones” Lu Xia Tian asked with a slight surprise. 。“My friend, you may not know this, but the Wei State governs millions of people and possesses countless treasures. It is a rare large country. Within the Wei royal family, there are also many immortal cultivators. However, many have gone to major immortal cultivation sects.” 。We, the scattered cultivators, 。The State of Wei was vast, and each prefecture or county collected a certain amount of spirit stones or other spiritual artifacts every year, more or less. 。“The fat monk let out a hearty laugh, seemingly not taking the previous unpleasantness to heart at all.” 。"Alright, then let's go take a look." 。Lu Xia Tian hesitated for a moment, then agreed. In his mind, he didn't want to get involved in any disputes before his injuries fully healed. 。It is certainly good to be able to cultivate peacefully in the stable, but this tranquility has been disrupted. As the saying goes, "to hide oneself well among woods is small concealment, while to hide oneself well within the city is great concealment." 。Since there are still some low-level cultivators from the Xiao family who have come over. 。Direct rejection can make the other party remember it more. 。

It's better to join the other side. In their eyes, you're just a slightly more skilled puppet master.

This does not prevent him from continuing to recover. 。As for safety, as long as he doesn't encounter something like the Green-Shell Skeleton, there shouldn't be any leaks. Besides, his deputy avatar has recovered, and after using the Seven Stars Formation once, Lu Xia Tian is also very confident. 。"Master, are you leaving the racecourse" Chi Lin said reluctantly. She wasn't surprised by Lu Xiaoteng's immortal identity. In her eyes, Lu Xiaoteng had always been omnipotent. 。After spending nearly a year together, Lu Xiaotian is actually leaving now, which makes Chi Lin feel very sad. 。Chi Kun's lips moved, but he didn't know what to say. He felt just as frustrated inside. 。“You two siblings lack the talent for cultivation. All I can teach you is this much.” 。All good things must come to an end. Whether you choose to pursue a career in politics or live a carefree life like a wild crane, the decision is yours to make. 。Lu Xia Tian looked at Chi Kun and his sister, a sigh escaping his lips. From the moment Xiao Fu arrived with her cavalry and several immortal cultivators at the racecourse, their fates had come to an end. 。Even after he recovered, he was going to leave anyway. It just happened a little earlier than expected. 。“The two siblings are incredibly powerful. At such a young age, they are already peerless martial artists. No matter where they go, they are highly respected figures.” 。If Master Chi and Miss Chi are interested in official positions, and do not find the Xiao family too small, this humble servant could help them out a little. 。

"Madam Xiao spoke in a gentle tone,

If it weren't for Lu Xia Tian being here, she would seriously consider offering a hefty sum to recruit him. 。Now she also can't do too much, after all, she doesn't know what Lu Xia Tian is thinking. 。However, a hefty gift will still need to be sent over afterwards. 。Master martial artists are rare, even in the entire Chixia County. 。Even if we can't attract talent, we should still try to make some connections. 。Poolin stared blankly as hundreds of cavalrymen escorted two carriages into the night. After a long while, she sighed. She could feel that since Lu Xia Tian had been with these people, there was an insurmountable gulf between them. 。This response will only contain the translation of the text within the > tags, preserving any HTML tags present.rce, coupled with Yin Sha Zun on the fringes, made them even more formidable.And Lu Xia Tian had a history of frequently disappearing for long periods, only to reappear after some time.
