Chapter 3008: Invitation

hey reappeared, they reformed into a single sword embryo once more, directly slicing at the thread connecting a white orb to the monster.With a hiss! The blood vessel-like thick spider silk was severe..."Do you know the exact location of the Yanling Page" Lu Xia Tian asked again.

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

“Right now, I've only received partial information. As for its general location, I need to go there and verify it myself.” Lin Fang said frankly.

"So you want me to return the twelve Azure Vine Immortal Artifacts just based on a single, empty message without even knowing their location" Lu Xia Tian said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"That depends on whether you, friend from the East, dare to take a look. That set of emerald fairy artifacts is mine. Even if you forcefully refine it, its power will inevitably be reduced. A set of fairy artifacts with reduced power wouldn't be so essential for you, friend from the East. Compared to obtaining information about the Yanling page, taking some risks is completely worthwhile," Lin Fang said matter-of-factly.

“You make some sense. However, it's not necessarily dangerous. I recently learned a set of forbidden techniques and would like to try them out on your Qingtong immortal artifact. Go back first and come find me in three months.” Lu Xia Tian said.

"What restriction" Lin Fang frowned.

"You can use it on your Qing Teng Immortal Artifact. Once I discover you have malicious intentions, I can use the prohibition to reduce the power of your Qing Teng Immortal Artifact by more than half. Of course, activating this prohibition will also affect you. If it goes smoothly, you'll be able to use 90% of the power of your Qing Teng Immortal Artifact normally. To fully unleash its power, you only have three chances. Once you exceed that number, your Qing Teng Immortal Artifact will be practically useless." Lu Xia Tian said.

"What if it doesn't go well" Lin said with a grim expression.

"If it doesn't go smoothly, your Qingtong Immortal Artifact will naturally be scrapped directly." Lu Xia Tian said nonchalantly.

"A fellow cultivator from the East doesn't seem to worry about dreams multiplying overnight. What if someone else takes the pages of the Yanling before then, wouldn't it be too late for a fellow cultivator from the East" Lin Fang said.

“If it were truly a treasure, and someone had taken it beforehand, there's nothing we could do. Your set of Qingteng Immortal Artifacts is incredibly powerful, but you haven't even fully tapped into its potential yet. If we returned it to you without any restraints, wouldn't that be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains You would become a formidable enemy again.”

Lu Xia Tian shook his head, unable to confirm if Lin Fang's words were true or false for now. Besides, the Yan Ling Page was only one way for him to break through to the True Immortal realm, not the only way. While it was indeed crucial to him, it wasn't indispensable.

"Very well, then allow Eastern Daoist friend to unleash that restriction." Lin Fang took a deep breath, knowing he had no room for negotiation in this matter. "I hope after the event, Eastern Daoist friend will lift the restriction."

“This is natural.” Lu Xia Tian nodded. If the other party was sincere about cooperating, returning this set of Qing Teng Immortal artifacts would not be a problem. It’s just that the idea of claiming this set of Qing Teng Immortal artifacts as his own had to be put aside.

After the temporary agreement was reached, Lin bid farewell and left. The Zhao family had already arrived at Minghu Elegant Residence with gifts to seek an audience.

"My name is Zhao Kui Zhi. Having heard that a Daoist friend from the East has ascended to the rank of Dan Saint, I have specially brought some gifts to visit. Our Tatha Cloud City is led by the Zhao and Jiang families, and we have successively produced several True Immortals. However, a Dan Saint is unprecedented in our history. It truly is a momentous occasion for Tatha Cloud City." Zhao Kui Zhi instructed the two Great Ascension cultivators behind him to deliver the gifts to Ming Lake Residence.

"Zhao Daoist is too kind. I haven't done anything worthy of such a grand gesture. I wouldn't dare to accept your generous gift." Lu Xiaoteng bowed back politely to Zhao Kuizhi, who seemed mature and composed with an imposing aura. He knew it was never wise to refuse a gift outright.

The other party came bearing gifts, representing the Zhao family. It wouldn't be appropriate to treat them with indifference. After all, he had already developed some animosity towards Jiang Li. It was impossible to completely break ties with the Zhao family again. Before his wings were fully grown, he couldn't afford to openly oppose the true immortal families of Ta Yun City, even though the true immortals of these two families rarely stayed within Ta Yun City.

"It's nothing, they are just some medicinal plants or other materials needed for alchemy. My Zhao family has a few incompetent alchemists. These materials would be wasted if given to them. It's better to give them to fellow cultivator Dongfang. This way, resources can be used effectively. If fellow cultivator Dongfang truly feels uncomfortable, the immortal pills refined in the future can provide some convenience for my Zhao family."

Zhao Kui was originally planning to invite Lu Xiaoteng to join the Zhao family directly. However, seeing the round and profound aura on Lu Xiaoteng's body gave him a feeling of unfathomable depth, unlike ordinary people. Under the current circumstances where he lacked confidence, it wasn't easy for him to speak up again, lest it would make both sides look bad. He decided to wait until he returned home to discuss with his family members and decide on what kind of compensation to offer before approaching Lu Xiaoteng again.

“Eastern friend, please don't refuse. This time I am also entrusted by my family to deliver this gift to you. It's just to make friends with you, there is no other ill intention.”

Hu Xiaofeng, an old man with a black cane, stood beside him. Several people were watching from the side. They worried that if Lu Xiaotian was easily taken away by the Zhao family, their roles would be significantly diminished. However, this matter could only be decided by Lu Xiaotian himself. It wasn't appropriate for them to intervene casually.

"Alright, I'll accept the gift for now. Afterward, I can offer Zhao Daoyou discounted pills made with these immortal plants and other materials." Lu Xia Tian nodded.

Zhao Kuizhi let out a hearty laugh, exchanged polite words with Lu Xiaotien, Hu Xiaofeng and the others, then left.

>>> Zhao Kui was gone for not long when the Jiang family sent someone over with heavy gifts to apologize to Lu Xiaotien, their attitude extremely sincere. Lu Xiaotien just politely interacted with them and didn't reject them because of previous grievances, unlike Zhao Family. Compared to the Zhao family, the Jiang family's approach was clearly too hasty. They directly invited Lu Xiaotien, a Grade 1 Pill Saint, to join their ranks. Of course, Lu Xiaotien refused.lood drained from her body by the golden-lined ghost worm. 。"There must be a powerful ghost clan member hiding in the shadows, plotting against us. This place is too dangerous to stay long, let's with...
