Chapter 2397: Woodcarving Spirit Source
t upon the middle-aged man's weak point, for the middle-aged man was also a talkative fellow. He immediately relayed all sorts of hearsay and rumors he had heard to Lu Xia tian. The nearby carriers we...Unable to glean any useful information from the middle-aged man, Lu Xiaotian retracted the illusionary mirror with a hand gesture and returned to Mu Mian Island.
When I returned to Mumu Island, the airship of Purple Shirt Palace Master arrived with a whoosh. Two six-legged Fierce Wind Horses in their early combined stage galloped wildly. The graceful and beautiful woman on top was none other than the Palace Master of Purple Shirt Palace. Beside the airship stood an old acquaintance, the Fiery Fire Bird.
“The Palace Master’s return was sooner than expected.” Lu XiaTian saw that the Purple Garment Palace Master was quite surprised.
This is an example sentence.
“I did run into some minor trouble when I went to the Blood Spirit Valley last time, but it was just to confirm some information and I didn't intend to go deep. This time back, after preparing thoroughly, I'm ready to make a move. This trip to Blood Spirit Valley, this palace still needs a few capable assistants. Item Daoist friend, would you be willing to lend a hand to this palace”
The mistress of the Zishang Palace said, "The upheaval on Zijiao Island has severely wounded the Golden-haired Ox Demon. For hundreds of years to come, it will be difficult for him to recover his strength. Right now, I have few reliable allies left."
"I've been inquiring about it, Palace Master, any leads" Lu Xia Tian said. Since the other party had skipped mentioning the Purple Flood Dragon Island incident, he presumed the situation was already under control and there was no need for him to worry.

"Several strong members of the Ta Shu Tiger Clan have already arrived near the Blood冥 Valley. Every time the Blood冥 Valley opens, the Ta Shu Tiger Clan will gain something inside, including items used by cultivators. At that time, this Palace Master will definitely do my best to help Item Dao Friend." said the Purple Clothing Palace Master.
"This time during the Great Battle of Zi Jiao Island, I sustained some injuries. Healing and cultivation require a considerable amount of resources, so I'll need to rely on the Palace Master's provision." Lu Xia Tian stated directly.
"Dao You Xiang is indeed a rare and straightforward person. As for what belongs to Dao You Xiang, this palace has already had people prepare it. Before we depart, it will definitely be delivered into your hands."
The master of the Purple Shirt Palace smiled upon hearing this. Since the other party was willing to offer conditions, it was good. Compared to many human cultivators who were tactful, this black-robed person was straightforward. However, this was better, knowing what the other party wanted, there was no need to think about it too much.
“This time, I have to thank Daoist Xiang for taking care of my little daughter. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.” Seeing Yu Xue appear, the Mistress of Zi Shan Palace let out a sigh of relief.
“Since I've promised the Palace Master, within my capabilities, there won't be any changes. The Palace Master is too polite.” Lu Xia Tian shook his head, glanced at Qi Qian and the other cultivators, and pointed to Qi Qian, "This woman has some connection with me. If I leave this sea area in the future, I trouble the Palace Master to ask someone to take care of her."
"Mr. Xiang is leaving" The several Palace Masters of Zishang Palace were astonished when they heard this.
"If this place doesn't have what Xiang Mozhi needs, he should seek it elsewhere," Lu Xiaodao said.
"Well then, to each their own desires. One cannot force another's will. However, the gates of the Purple Golden Dragon Palace are always open to Daoist Xiang. No matter when he arrives, he will always be a distinguished guest of the palace. After Daoist Xiang departs, Mu Mian Island will belong to this woman from now on. This palace will have people look after it."
"Thank you, Palace Master."
This palace still has some matters to attend to. After three days, Daoist Xiang may go to the Dragon Palace to meet with this palace, and then together we will go to the Blood Ming Valley.
Before the Palace Master of Zishangung could finish her words, she, accompanied by Yuxue and others, vanished like the wind.
“Is Mr. Lu leaving” Qi Qian looked at Lu Xia Tian in his black robe, feeling a complex mix of emotions in her heart.
"After cultivating on this island for some years, it's time for me to leave." Lu Xia Tian nodded.
“Could senior take me away with you” Qi Qian asked.
“The enemy I face is unlike any other, and my own fortunes are unpredictable. It wouldn't be convenient to bring you along. From now on, Mutan Island will be yours. Ordinary combined demon creatures shouldn't pose a threat here. Whether you can leave the Endless Demon Sea depends on your own destiny.” Lu Xia Tian shook his head and refused.

"Thank you, sir. Just staying on Mu Mian Island, even those demon clans wouldn't go out of their way to make things difficult for me because of your face, but they also wouldn't be overly kind. As for the spiritual items needed for cultivation, this junior and her fellow disciples can still find a way to raise them, but for advancement, we need rare treasures or elixir pills. Sir, as you are the Pill King, I wonder if you have anything suitable for advancement" Qi Qian asked.
Lu Xia Tian sized Qi Qian up again, "I helped you get here because we used to know each other back in the day. Why should I give you a rare elixir like the Hehun Dan"
"It seems Mr. has this item on him." Qi Qian smiled faintly, stretched out her hand, and a silver-white ancient book flew towards Lu Xiaotian.
“This item was obtained by my father many years ago, a very old book about puppets. Puppets are just physical forms; controlling them requires some unique techniques. This method should be useful to you, sir. However, whether it is worth a Soul-Binding Pill, I truly don't know. As for its price, sir, you decide.”
"Do you have anything else about this puppet beast" Lu Xia Tian took the ancient book, glanced over its contents, suppressed the tremor in his heart, and squinted at Qi Qian.
“It’s gone now, sir. If you don’t believe me, you can check inside my Sumeru ring.” Qi Qian said.
"Bring it here, let me see." Although Lu Xia Tian rarely intimidated others, he wasn't naive either. Qi Qian repeatedly brought out things related to the puppet monster. He couldn't help but be suspicious. This silver booklet recorded the heart of the imperial puppet wood carving, which was the method for refining the wood carving spirit source. The wood carving spirit source was what drove the imperial puppet wood carving.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
To craft this wooden sculpture imbued with spirit essence, the materials are not difficult to obtain. A large quantity of spirit crystals is needed, along with the primordial spirit of a Nascent Soul realm demon bird. It's best to use a demon creature belonging to the carving type. If unavailable, any other demon bird can be substituted, though its power will be slightly diminished.
After a cursory glance, there was nothing in it that Lu Xia Tian found appealing, so he returned it to Qi Qian.
“This ancient book is of little use in the hands of ordinary people. You're lucky to have encountered me, I suppose it's worth a Hehunsan Pill.” Lu Xiaoteng snapped his finger, and a white porcelain pill bottle flew towards Qi Qian.
Qi Qian took the pill bottle, sniffing the aroma of the medicinal herbs inside. The surging spiritual energy almost made her soul tremble. This sensation was similar to what she felt when she ascended to a higher realm before. However, her current state was unstable, and the slight power of the pills nearly caused her mind to waver.
"Thank you, sir," Qia Qian put away the pill bottle and bowed deeply to Lu Xia Tian. "I hope to see you again when you have attained enlightenment."
"Proof of the Great Dao I hope I can live to see that day." Lu XiaTian smiled faintly, noncommittal.
Qi Qian paused upon hearing this, just about to say something else when the figure before him vanished in a blur. All that remained was an elusive black shadow against the sky.
Qi Qian stared blankly in the direction where the shadow had disappeared. After a while, he came to his senses and secretly speculated about how strong the opponent's enemy was.
After all, the previous four demonic beasts had attacked but were all slain by Lu Xia Tian with his own power. Even at his current level of strength, Lu Xia Tian is still so formidable that Qi Qian finds it hard to fathom the danger he faces.
