Chapter 497 Silver Leaf Buddha Tree

. 。Lu XiaTian was also seeing for the first time hundreds of Jindan cultivators and tens of thousands of Qi Refining cultivators moving together, his heart was greatly shaken. Even during the Moon Wat..."This junior has been inquiring about the Rejuvenating Dan for the past few years. Thanks to your blessing, this junior now possesses a youthful appearance and resists aging. This junior is the head of Lingjiao Temple, responsible for collecting news from the cultivation world and selling it to other cultivators. Therefore, I have some expertise in information gathering. Although you changed your appearance several times, you happened to be encountered by the elders of Lingjiao Temple a few times. You used some unorthodox techniques, but your concealed aura was truly remarkable. It wasn't until a few months ago that this junior finally confirmed your identity as Lu senior, so I took the initiative to seek you out. For any offense, please forgive me."

Seeing Lu Xiaottian's unkind gaze, Luo Ping'er's heart skipped a beat. She quickly explained herself. Having seen a variety of people, the murderous intent in Lu Xiaottian's eyes wasn't the most intense she'd ever encountered, but it was definitely among the top few. This kind of killing intent wasn't honed by casually slaying one or two ordinary cultivators. It was likely that many cultivators of the same level had died at Lu Xiaottian's hands.

As for who knows Senior Lu's identity as an alchemist, besides myself, it is the fellow disciple who discovered him. They are unaware of Senior's past at Tianhai Pavilion. To this day, I have kept all information about Senior a secret.

Concerned about angering this formidable presence before her, Luo Ping'er quickly added.

“Since that’s the case, what brings you to seek me out” Lu Xiaoteng didn't expect that despite his carefulness in Lan Ming City, someone would still find him following a few clues. Some of the methods used by cultivators in the cultivation world were truly beyond defense.

“My Ling鷲 Fang has fallen into disrepair since my father’s generation. There isn’t even a single Golden Core cultivator. My father disappeared over thirty years ago when a senior was on an island. Now, only I am left struggling to keep it afloat. To expand Ling鷲 Fang, I have been trying to recruit a Golden Core cultivator as the guardian. Two years ago, I finally managed to hire a Golden Core cultivator named Liu Jingchuan at a great expense. However, I acted hastily and didn’t see through his greedy nature. He not only wants to take control of Ling鷲 Fang’s wealth but also demands that I serve him. Though I am resentful, I have been enduring it for the past two years, trying to find a way out while avoiding him by staying away from Ling鷲 Fang. I don't know if you would be interested in joining Ling鷲 Fang. You would have the same treatment as the master of the Fang, and you wouldn’t even need to do anything for Ling鷲 Fang, just make occasional appearances. Every month, I am willing to offer 50,000 low-grade spirit stones. Additionally, if you require any information, Ling鷲 Fang can provide it for free.” Luo Ping'er looked eagerly at Lu Xiaodao.

“There’s nothing else. You may leave, and I suggest you refrain from spreading any rumors about me in the future.” He wasn't interested in what Luo Ping'er had to say. Since he had achieved the Golden Core stage, numerous small sects like Lingyin Pavilion with limited strength had tried to recruit Golden Core cultivators as patrons. If he wanted to join a faction, there was no need to clash with another Golden Core cultivator over Luo Ping'er's pathetic pleas.

"I wonder, senior, what would it take for you to refine a Golden Condensation Pill for me" Luo Ping'er saw that Lu Xia Tian refused her without even thinking. Her face didn't show any surprise, instead, she bit her red lips, as if she had made up her mind and said.

“That depends on whether you have something that interests me.” Lu Xia Tian originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought that the other party was also well-informed, and it might be useful in the future. Since the other party knew that he could refine high-grade pills, then... no, seeing Luo Ping’er's eyes flash momentarily, Lu Xia Tian suddenly realized, this Luo Ping’er was deceiving him. What a cunning woman, what a powerful charm! Before she pretended to be pitiful, it was mostly just to let him relax his guard. Lu Xia Tian was secretly annoyed. Originally, he wasn't such an easy person to fool, although he hadn't suffered any losses, being tricked by Luo Ping’er in front of him made Lu Xia Tian feel a little unhappy. He really underestimated this woman. The amazing charm was truly rare. It even affected him without him noticing, much stronger than those who relied purely on flirting and showing off their beauty to confuse people.

“I wonder if you seniors are interested in the Fǎn Luó Spirit Fire” Luo Ping’er saw Lü Xiǎotiān’s reaction, and was startled. She didn’t expect that after she used all her efforts, this young man had already recovered in an instant. The Liu Jìngchuān she invited with so much effort would be much harder to deal with.

If it weren't for Lu Xiaottian in front of her being able to refine the Gold Core Pill, and if it weren't for Liu Jingchuan, that Gold Core cultivator, not having much ability, obsessed with taking everything in Ling Yin Fang, including her, as his own, making her his plaything. Luo Ping'er didn't want to provoke Lu Xiaottian in front of her from the bottom of her heart. The Lu Xiaottian in front of her was far more difficult to deal with than Liu Jingchuan. Knowing that a trace of anger had already arisen in Lu Xiaottian's heart, Luo Ping'er did not dare to flaunt her little tricks anymore. She directly threw out a temptation that a Gold Core cultivator couldn't refuse:

“Vairocana’s Divine Fire!” Lu Xia Tian’s face showed a slight surprise, then he quickly said in a low voice, “You, a Qi Refining cultivator, have such a spiritual fire Just state your trading terms, don’t try to test my patience anymore.”

“Senior’s vision is unique, junior naturally wouldn’t be able to possess the Fan Luo Spiritual Fire. However, it's a coincidence that I happened to learn of a place where the Fan Luo Spiritual Fire once appeared. Moreover, junior also knows the whereabouts of the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree.” Luo Ping’er said this and stopped talking, instead staring intently at Lu Xiaitian’s face, trying to gauge the other party’s interest from Lu Xiaitian’s expression. However, to Luo Ping’er’s disappointment, besides that brief moment before, after reacting, Lu Xiaitian's face was now as calm as still water, showing not a hint of interest.”

Lu Xia Tian narrowed his eyes and reexamined Luo Ping'er. Although his face didn't show any change, his heart was greatly shaken. The Silver Leaf Bodhi Tree is said to be a Buddhist and Taoist artifact that repels evil. However, the Silver Leaf Bodhi Tree itself does not possess any lethality, and even cultivators haven't used it to refine magical artifacts. And as Buddhism and Taoism gradually disappeared from this world, the Silver Leaf Bodhi Tree seemed to become increasingly rare, even fading into mere legend. He never expected to hear of its existence today.

Besides the silver-leaf banyan tree, what surprised Lu Xia Tian even more was the Fan Luo Spirit Fire. While a Jindan cultivator's Samadhi True Fire was already formidable, the Fan Luo Spirit Fire was far more powerful. Once injured by the Fan Luo Spirit Fire, even a late Jindan stage cultivator would find it extremely difficult to heal. Jin Dan cultivators could not approach the Fan Luo Spirit Fire, let alone refine it.
