Chapter 2468: Exchange >
tled amidst towering peaks.At this time, both the woman with the wooden staff and the woman in black had already woken up. He had only rescued these two people out of kindness before, but now that the..."There are still some pills, but they aren't cheap," Lu Xia Tian said. His cultivation required a great deal of consumption, but after his last trip to Bi Shui Yao Chi, he had killed many Nascent Soul monsters. With the resources of Bi Shui Yao Chi, there was naturally no shortage of spirit crystal veins.

Si Kong Jian Dao, as the fourth-rank Dan Wang of Yu Qing Xian Gong, lived a life of luxury. With the resources of Yu Qing Xian Gong at his disposal, he naturally didn't bother with such trivial matters. As for Xiang Qing Cheng and Nan Xuan Yu, they were both highly accomplished individuals right now, and in Bi Shui Yao Chi, Lu Xiao Tian initially wasn't very diligent, but when facing monsters, his contributions were significant.
Even though Lingxiao, the idle spirit creature, was present, Lu Xia Tian didn't need him. He directly took a pile of Spirit Crystals and settled things, which naturally provided Lu Xia Tian with expenses for a period of time.
As for the corner-hatted woman and Ye Qianxin's lotus flower avatar who were killed later, Lu Xiaotian didn't have time to count their Sumeru rings. After all, Lu Xiaotian still had a lot to do. Breaking through to the middle stage of the Heti period was paramount. Until now, the Swallowing Abyss Sword had not been fully refined. Moreover, the Golden Leaf Buddha Lan hadn't merged with the ancient Buddha seal.

In the circumstances where Lu Xiaoteng didn't lack cultivation resources for the time being, he put Ye Qianxin's lotus avatar's two Sumeru rings aside.
Having some savings, and with Ban Chi's grandchildren spending years cultivating in the Sea of Demons, it would naturally be good if they could exchange for some more.
With Lu Xiaotian's current powerful physical body, many injuries can already heal on their own. Even the effect is not much different from ordinary medicinal pills. Moreover, Lu Xiaotian has accumulated a considerable amount of medicinal pills.
Banyan, who had a slightly better impression of Lu Xia Tian because he had saved her once, immediately felt even worse about him when she heard his words. To think he was taking advantage of the situation!
"The pills in your hand are indeed extraordinary. Even within the large Xianzong sects of the human race, it's rare to find such high-grade elixir."
Upon receiving the healing elixir, Ban Qianzhi was greatly surprised and said, “This isn’t a mere formality. Lu Xiaoteng has quite a few medicinal pills for healing cultivators in the Fusion Realm, many of which he uses himself. Naturally, some of his self-used pills are of mid-grade quality, and there are even some high-grade ones.”
However, with the increase of his cultivation base, ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators could hardly pose much of a threat to Lu Xia Tian anymore.
And for more serious injuries, even his pills couldn't offer a truly effective solution. Just because Lu Xiaoteng didn't need them didn't mean others couldn't benefit. For Ban Yao, they were a lifesaver.
Although Lu Xiaottian's price was not low, the surrounding Demon Sea was already filled with those strange butterfly swarms. Even if there were spirit crystals, there was nowhere to buy them. For Ban Qianzhi and the two, being able to buy this kind of elixir right now was considered a good deal. Even in the past, if they were willing to pay spirit crystals, it would be difficult to buy such high-quality elixirs, let alone now.

After exchanging the elixir, Ban Qianzhi privately asked Ban Yao some details about Lu Xiaoteng's fight with those several Nascent Soul monsters. After all, previously when Lu Xiaoteng set up his sword domain, even with Ban Qianzhi's divine sense, he couldn't enter the sword domain.
From Ban Yao's mouth, she learned that Lu Xiaotian had never revealed his true self from beginning to end. Ban Qianzhi was instantly shocked and didn't know what to say.
"This person is undoubtedly a member of the human race. However, for this period of time, we have never been able to see their true form. They are probably hiding something. In the future, when you speak with this fellow cultivator, be as careful as possible and avoid angering them. Otherwise, the two of us might end up being looked down upon by them."
Thinking back to how Ban Yao and Lu Xia Tian had fought before, only managing to return injured, compared to these four demonic beasts who had fallen in Lu Xia Tian’s hands, it was such a stroke of luck.
“At that time, this person’s swordsmanship was far less powerful than it is now.” Ban Yao recalled the initial fight with Lu Xia Tian. If not so, Ban Yao wouldn't have had a chance to escape at all.
All in all, this person is mysterious and unpredictable. It's best to treat them with courtesy and avoid provoking them. However, judging by their actions today, they don't seem to be a heartless person. Although they are an outsider, during this time of turmoil, having such a powerful ally isn't bad at all. Ban Qianzhi took a breath; regardless of anything else, it was a good thing for them.
After rescuing Ban Yao, Lu Xia Tian didn't idle away at his cultivation place. His main spirit once again took some time to pass through the cave dwelling barrier and enter the Broken Gold Ice Fire Sand Realm.
In the void, crimson and crystal-clear quicksand surged forward in waves. Before it even touched his body, he felt its terrifyingly intense heat and chilling cold.
Ding ding ding, the completely different aura of quicksand hitting Lu Xia Tian's body made a crisp sound. Each grain of spiritual sand touching his skin still moved at an astonishing speed, but under Lu Xia Tian's incredibly resilient flesh, when the spiritual sand touched his skin, it became difficult to move forward.
With a rumble, the spiritual sand on his body was repelled. The astonishing scorching heat and icy power intertwined, most of it dissipated by the blood-forged power. The remaining small portion filtered into his body, and the newly promoted blood-forged power became more pure under this strange spiritual energy.
But the lotus avatar remained in the cave, still immersed in his sword practice.

Lu Xiaoteng's main body constantly shuttled between the two sides of the cave abode's barrier. Once his energy was depleted within the sand domain, he would return to rest and recover. After reaching a certain level, he would once again return to the Broken Gold Ice Fire Sand Domain. Day after day, year after year.
Ban Yao's injuries had already healed. Following Lu Xia Tian's reminder, Ban Yao never ventured too far from the cave dwelling every time she entered or exited, ensuring Lu Xia Tian could always respond if needed. Several more merged demonic beasts arrived in the vicinity of the cave dwelling, but the outcome was predictable. Facing her current power, the strength of her blood essence had stabilized day by day.
Even the power accumulated in the second Dantian was starting to approach two-tenths of that in the lower Dantian. Those demonic creatures, even though some were powerful, found it hard to last long against Lu Xiaoteng's attacks. In fact, Lu Xiaoteng only used his lotus incarnation to slay these demons. If we were to talk about the greatest progress, it wasn't Lu Xiaoteng's advancements in physical cultivation or the massive increase in his second Dantian.
It was the lotus avatar that surprised Lu Xia Tian. It advanced so quickly, even he was astonished. After his surprise subsided, upon closer reflection, Lu Xia Tian realized he had consumed quite a few combined realm sword embryos. He also knew many sword techniques and supernatural powers. Previously, because of refining the lotus avatar as an avatar with no foundation, establishing a base required enormous energy expenditure. If Lu Xia Tian hadn't cultivated the art of avatars and directly used his main body to cultivate the sword embryo, he would have likely broken through to the later stage of the combined realm sword cultivator by now.
Even so, this time after Lotus's avatar broke through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, its progress in strength was also quite remarkable. After eliminating that invincible sword intent from Ye Qianxun, Lu Xia Tian's attainments in the sword dao were actually already comparable to those of an ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. It's just that his spiritual power still lacked some refinement.
