Chapter 14: Soul-Locking Soup

f obtained, I'm afraid neither Su Qing nor Wu Yan would want to exchange it. 。If it could be refined into a beauty pill by the alchemists within the sect, that would be even better. 。According to Li...A cloaked figure leaning on a walking stick made of withered wood stood pale and gaunt, not far in front of Lu Xiaoteng. The figure turned to face those behind him when he sensed their presence.

The black-robed elder! Lu Xia Tian felt a chill run down his spine, but he seemed to have suffered some serious injuries. His face was even worse than before, and he had lost a leg. The only difference compared to a few months ago was that there were several black pouches around his waist.

"Are you still in the valley Good, good... *cough cough* ..."

The old man in black saw Lu Xia Tian, and his eyes lit up. Due to the movement, he coughed violently, and there was a trace of blood seeping from his abdomen.

"Geng, old Geng!"

Lu Xiaitian inwardly cried out, "It's over!" If the old man in black discovered that the small green worms in his cave were eating each other and there weren't many left, he wouldn't know how angry he would be. However, seeing that the old man in black had broken a leg, Lu Xiaitian couldn't help but take two steps back, feeling a surge of wanting to run away.

"Get back here!" The old man in black robes had eyes like poison, instantly seeing Lu Xia Tian's intention to flee, he reached out and beckoned.

This, what's going on Lu Xia Tian's heart was filled with terror. His body was bound by a powerful force, involuntarily drifting towards the black-robed elder.

The old man in black robe drew Lu Xiaoteng to his side and asked, "Why did you want to run away when you saw me Am I that frightening"

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

“I, I...” Lu Xia Tian stammered a few times, not daring to speak the truth.

"Well, you seem eager to learn magic. In the past, I wasn't interested in taking on disciples, but now, after being so severely wounded, I fear my time is short. This mantle of mine needs to be passed down to someone. Would you be willing to become my disciple" The old man in black robes' face flickered with a strange expression as he grasped Lu Xia Tian's wrist and said with a pleasant tone.

“Take me as your disciple”

Lu XiaTian was full of surprise. The old man in black had never spoken to him more than a few words before, only assigning him odd jobs. Now he was saying he wanted to take him as a disciple. While he was happy, there was also a hint of confusion in his heart.

"Well, I won't live for long. If I don't take on a disciple now, wouldn't that mean taking all my skills to the grave"

The black-robed old man coughed out a few strands of blood again. The fourth-order spirit talisman was indeed powerful. He used all his strength to withstand most of the attack, but he was still shot by two arrows, losing a leg wasn't fatal, what truly made it difficult for him to continue was that one arrow in his abdomen had already injured his lungs. Let alone a cultivator at the peak of the Qi refining stage, even a cultivator at the foundation building stage without top-grade healing spirit pills would be fatal.

"Yes, Master. This disciple pays his respects to you," Lu Xia Tian said excitedly. He never expected the old man in black robes would agree to take him on as a disciple at this moment. He bowed down immediately.

"Enough, enough. Let's skip the formalities. Quickly take your master back to his cave dwelling. My time is short, and if we don't hurry, I might not have time to teach you anything." The old man in black robes grabbed Lu Xiaitian's wrist and prevented him from bowing down.

"Yes, Master, no, but I haven't gone back in almost two days. Those shadow ants are probably..." Lu Xia Tian originally intended to leave directly, but now that the black-robed old man was willing to accept him as a disciple, he decided not to hide it anymore and confessed his mistake frankly.

A few shadow ants are nothing to worry about, just raise another batch if they die. Let's go back first and talk about it later.

The old man in black shook his head, and Lu Xiaoteng was a little surprised. The change in his master's attitude before and after was really big.

“That disciple will carry you back.” Although Lu Xia Tian was surprised, he felt a little relieved in his heart. He thought to himself, “As a disciple, it shouldn't be the same as being a handyman.”

"No need, just follow me." The old man in black shook his head.

Before the words could even leave his mouth, Lu Xiaoteng felt a gentle breeze pushing him from behind. The black-robed elder tapped his cane on the ground and with a swift movement, he lifted Lu Xiaoteng several meters away, as light and agile as a feather.

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

Lu Xia Tian was secretly amazed. His master was indeed formidable. He exerted his skill and with each step, he could cover about half a meter. And his master, despite being seriously injured and losing a leg, still carried him, covering about three meters with each step. Since becoming his disciple, Lu Xia Tian felt their relationship had become much closer. He spoke out and asked,

"Master, what kind of magic did you use It's amazing! Can I learn it too in the future"

"In the future, you will be able to learn things even better than your master. If your master gets hurt, don't talk." The old man in black robes panted heavily.

Master's voice was heavy, and Lu Xia tian hastily clamped his mouth shut, remaining silent.

At this pace, a distance of mere dozens of miles wasn't far at all. After just a short while, the cave blocked by stones appeared before their eyes.

The old man in black robes waved his hand, and a whirlwind swept across, scattering the stones in front of the cave. Lu Xiaoteng was amazed and about to speak, but remembering what his master had told him, he swallowed his words back into his stomach.

"Go quickly, boil a pot of water. After the water is hot, pour this bottle of medicine into it." The black-robed elder handed Lu Xiaitian a small medicine bottle and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His hurried journey had expended a lot of energy, and his injuries had worsened by a few points.

Lu Xia Tian saw that the black-robed elder's injuries were so serious, he nodded immediately and did as he said. There was water already prepared in the cave before. Soon, he boiled a bucket of water as the black-robed elder instructed, and moved the stones to block the entrance of the cave again as he had said.

"Heaven never abandons me, I finally caught up with time. If it weren't for this kid, I might have really fallen in this canyon." The old man in black let out a breath and muttered to himself.

“Master, the cave dwelling has been securely sealed again,” Lu Xia Tian said, clapping his hands.

“Well, go in the tub,” said the old man in black robe, nodding with a kindly face.

Under the lights, Lu Xiaotian hesitated for a moment, feeling that the old man in black robe looked at him with strange eyes, but he couldn't tell where it was strange.

"Come in yet." The black-robed old man urged.

All of them had accepted him as a disciple, so there shouldn't be any problems. If things didn't go well, he could just take another beating. Lu Xiaoxiao thought this in his heart and obediently sat down in the tub. The moment the medicinal water touched his body, he was instantly startled. He felt as if his pores were sealed shut. Immediately after, all over his body, it felt like countless needles were stabbing him, the pain was unbearable. He cried out in agony and instinctively wanted to get up and leave the tub.

At this time, the withered fingers of the old man in black pressed against his forehead, rendering him immobile. At the same time, a sinister cackle escaped his lips, and his face, as dark as night, sneered with cruel delight, "My good disciple, how does the taste of my Soul-Locking Soup agree with you"

"You, what do you want to do to me" Lu Xia Tian didn't understand what Soul Locking Soup was. He just saw the black-robed old man in front of him completely change into a sinister and terrifying face. His heart felt a little hairy, and he asked, At this time, he also reacted, this black-robed old man probably had ulterior motives for taking him as a disciple. He just didn't know what the other party was planning.the Nirvana True Flame, whether it is the form of the Stupa or the relic, even the ancient seal of Buddha seems to be elevated to another level.Under this shroud of Buddha light, Lu Xia Tian's underst...
