Chapter 654: Taking the Initiative
strangely within the ochre-yellow halo. In the blink of an eye, he broke free from it, throwing the two-headed green demon lizard trapped inside far behind him."So fast!" As the caster Xiang Kuang, he...And within that dilapidated playhouse's well lay a fiery inferno, the Di Yan Huo Du. Even a cultivator at the late stage of the Golden Core realm, without an antidote, would be unable to endure its heat for long. 。This person has been in the Hou Mansion for over thirty years without being affected. This status is far from as simple as it appears. Unless there is a powerful background behind him, he himself must be an accomplished alchemist. 。No matter what kind, you and I and all our brothers must not be careless. 。Cao Sheng said solemnly. 。“Array formation, alchemist, or background extremely astonishing” 。The person you brought here is quite extraordinary. 。Cao Guang glared at Cao Kun with displeasure and said: 。Although this person is not simple, he has no ill intentions towards my Hou Mansion. The Hou Mansion's several crises have been successfully resolved thanks to Lu Xiaoteng's abilities. 。I think it's best if the master befriends him. If he can be used by our Hou Mansion, our strength will undoubtedly increase greatly. 。Cao Kun thought for a moment and said, he didn't take Cao Guang's complaints to heart. 。"Well, the boss makes sense. Let's just observe first. Treat him with courtesy and don't make a fuss. Lu Xia tian is such a skilled master, he's currently nominally unaffiliated with any power. Once other families in the city learn that he's unharmed, they'll probably try every means to poach him from our Cao Mansion." 。If he has ulterior motives, that's fine. But if he's just an ordinary cultivator, letting other clans poach him from our mansion, where will the faces of my brothers and I go 。Finally, Cao Sheng made the decision and said: 。"By the way, I almost forgot to tell the head of the household. The person the head of the household ordered, has also been arranged in Lu Xiaoteng's courtyard. I wonder if it's appropriate" Cao Kun suddenly remembered something and said, "At first, it was because I was worried that this person would provoke the second young master after the head of the household left. Previously, I only thought that Lu Xiaoteng was alert, so I asked Lu Xiaoteng to take care of one or two..." 。“This son of a bitch, truly incompetent in doing things, yet more than capable of causing trouble.” 。Let's just ignore him for now and see what happens. 。In that case, it's possible that Lu Xia Tian is one of them. 。Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence 。Cao Sheng's face darkened, thinking that Lu Xia Tian might already have a place to belong, his mood naturally fell a few points. 。Cao Sheng had just returned home, and he had a lot on his hands. The two brothers, along with several others including Cao Kun, were huddled together in secret discussion. At this moment, Lu Xia Tian had just returned to his own room when a voice rang out from outside. 。"Little one Xi'er came here especially to visit Senior Lu, I wonder if Senior Lu is free" Outside the courtyard, Cao Xi'er's voice was crisp and soft. 。"As a lonely bachelor, there's nothing inconvenient about this place. I wonder what brings the third young lady here"Lu Xiaoteng walked out of his room. At this time, Cao Xier had changed into an apricot yellow dress. A slightly wide golden belt was tied around her waist, which perfectly displayed her slender waist and graceful figure. Cao Xier was already exceptionally beautiful, but now that she had dressed up intentionally, she appeared even more alluring. 。"Senior Lu, you're too kind. Senior Lu is Xi-er's savior, so you can call her by her given name." 。Just now, my father was polite to Master Lu, but he was also worried that Master Lu might find it uncomfortable staying in this humble courtyard. He instructed Xier to come and see if Master Lu needed anything else. 。Cao Xi'er said softly and gently: 。"Please give my thanks to your father for his kindness. I usually put most of my energy into cultivation, so I don't have too many demands for material things." 。Lu Xia Tian shook his head. 。“Then Xi'er will come to visit Lu Senior Brother tomorrow.” 。Cao Xier saw Lu XiaTian but did not say anything else, nor did she invite her in to sit. A trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes. 。But soon Cao Xier disguised herself very well again, gracefully retreating from the small courtyard. 。Lu Xiaitian frowned slightly. He didn't have a good solution for this kind of thing, after all, he was in Cao's mansion, and now Cao Sheng had returned, so it wasn't as free as before. 。But luckily, Marquis Zhenwei Cao Sheng didn't mind him staying in the mansion. 。You needn't stay in this town at the Marquis of Zhenwei's mansion for too long. In a few years, once the remaining Spirit Suppressing Towers are finished being forged, even if there is another celestial anomaly, the Marquis of Zhenwei may not be entirely reliable. One must always guard against others. However, all he needs to do is reshape the silver-leaf Buddha Tong wood and gather enough pieces for both Spirit Suppressing Towers. After that, he can leave this place and still forge them. 。It's just a little bit slower. 。
There's nothing in this world that goes smoothly. Lu Xiaoteng felt that being able to stay in Cao Mansion peacefully for over thirty years was already a good thing. Looking back, although he had experienced several battles in these thirty years, they were nothing compared to the danger within the Misty Hall.
Over the past thirty years, he has entered the middle stage of Jindan, his realm is more and more stable, and his mana is even more solid. 。More importantly, he personally forged the Demon Suppressing Tower, cultivated the Ephemeral Sword Technique, and also forged several sword blades. 。Just need to collect some more Void Sword Stones, and then all eight Sword Marbles can be refined. 。The Misty Sword Formation is not something that a Golden Core cultivator could perform. Although in recent years, there hasn't been any news about the Void Sword Stone, Lu Xia Tian wasn't in a hurry at this time. 。Whether it's the Demon Subduing Pagoda or the swords forged from it, their power far surpasses ordinary means. 。Over the past few decades of cultivation, the Swallowing Souls Art has also made significant progress. Lu Xia Tian vaguely felt that the Swallowing Souls Art had also reached a certain bottleneck. 。Perhaps after breaking through again, it could still exert even greater strength. 。
Lu Xia Tian didn't immediately return to his room. He had his hands behind his back. Now that his strength had grown to a certain level, he couldn't make much progress by simply following the usual path. He could only rely on the passage of time for further growth. But this wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
If we really have to say, perhaps only the breakthrough direction of Fanluo Linghuo remains. 。After obtaining the Fan Luo Ling Huo, Lu Xiaocen gradually realized that he now possessed a rare treasure, but he had no way to fully utilize it. At this time, Lu Xiaocen learned that his control over the Fan Luo Ling Huo was very superficial, only knowing how to use his Yuanshen to control the flames to envelop enemies, and often letting the Fan Luo Ling Huo kill enemies on its own. 。 。As night fell, Lu Xia Tian did not return to his room, but walked directly towards the dry well. 。But face to face, two people walked over. One was an ordinary woman who lived in the same courtyard as him, but they hadn't spoken a word to each other in decades. 。The other was an ordinary-looking woman. 。"Lu Daoyou, it's been decades since we last met. I didn't expect you to come to this courtyard. I hope you are well." 。Lu Xia Tian was about to pass by, but the middle-aged woman across from him took the initiative to speak, looking at Lu Xia Tian with a smile. 。Lu Xia Tian hesitated. He had long seen that this girl was not simple, but he didn't want to cause any trouble. Over the decades, the two of them had lived in harmony, even when this middle-aged woman appeared twice in his courtyard, Lu Xia Tian was too lazy to pay attention. Unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to speak to him. 。ation, seemingly ethereal and indistinct. Yet, this faint sound possessed an immense deterrent effect on Jin Shique, causing his complexion to pale slightly while even his movements slowed by a fracti...
