Chapter 17: Harvest

eeth and continued to desperately flee.In the end, Lu Xiaoteng's luck was still pretty good. Zhou Tong was using brute force to hurry down in this lake. The faster he went, the greater the resistance...On the table, there were fourteen stones of different sizes. There were three ochre-colored ones, five red ones, and six green ones.

Yellow gives a feeling of heaviness and solidity, like the earth itself. Red makes one feel a pure and intense firelike breath.

While green gives a sense of life and lush, thriving trees.

"These stones, which look as pure as jade, can make one feel comfortable from the heart. They are definitely not ordinary things. Although I don't know their specific function, being kept in several storage bags must mean they have a purpose."

Lu XiaTian thought this in his heart, but he knew nothing about the magic of cultivating immortals, nor did he know anything about spiritual creatures. However, he could feel the spiritual energy emanating from it.

For now, it's just put away. I'll figure it out slowly later.

Besides these fourteen stones imbued with various energies, the table also held several jade boxes. Inside each box lay spiritual herbs, but the fluctuations of their energy were far stronger than those he had consumed before. They must be higher-grade spiritual herbs.

Besides the Lingcao, there were three bottles of elixir and three manuals. The elixirs pulsed with spiritual energy just like the Lingcao. As for the manuals, he had already cultivated the Hun Yuan Jing and wouldn't be able to use these few.

Lu Xia tian's eyes fell on the last storage bag. The other three were open, but this one remained shut. Several times his divine sense touched the bag, it would be repelled, and faintly even causing a tremor in his divine sense, leaving him dizzy and lightheaded. After several attempts, he dared not try again.

It seems that the methods of cultivators are truly numerous. Unfortunately, the old man in black robes had no intention of teaching him at all. Now he simply ignores these things, completely clueless. Lu Xiaoteng secretly lamented his misfortune, thinking that if there was someone to teach him, it would save him a lot of trouble. At least he wouldn't be completely ignorant about these things. However, right now, he could only rely on himself to explore and learn, making the process twice as hard with half the results.

Putting everything away, the black pouch and jade gourd were both hung around his waist. Lu Xiaotian opened a small bottle of pills and poured out a white, pigeon-egg sized pill. There was some hesitation on his face, the spiritual energy fluctuation of this pill was much stronger than the Gathering Qi Pills he had taken before. He wasn't sure if there were any taboos about this elixir. Lu Xiaotian’s face showed a thoughtful expression, and finally decided that before he understood this type of pill, he would not take it unless absolutely necessary.

In the other hand, Lu Xia Tian held a storage bag embroidered with the words "Blood Dwarf." Seeing these characters, he couldn't help but remember a middle-aged man he had met once. The man was shorter than him and wore a dark robe. Through others, he learned that the man was called the Blood Dwarf. There were three people accompanying the old man in black robes. Could these storage bags belong to those three If they belonged to them, how could they appear on the old man in black robes Could it be... Thinking of the sinister and cunning nature of the old man in black, Lu Xia Tian's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't dare to confirm his guess.

After half an hour, after moving the stones inside the cave away, Lu XiaTian looked at the blue sky and white clouds above his head and let out a long sigh. He had been forced into a desperate situation by the old man in black robes before, and now he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief after surviving the ordeal.

"When my own strength is sufficient, I must deal with the old man in black's soul." Lu Xia Tian made a secret decision. The other party's soul had always stayed inside his body. Although it was currently trapped within that transparent barrier, it was always a threat. After all, he couldn't be sure how long that barrier could contain him.

Everything in the canyon had withered and become a barren wasteland. There were no spiritual beings to be found there, and even if the canyon hadn't changed, with his mere Qi Refinement First Layer strength, adventuring in the canyon would likely soon make him someone else's food.

Having figured this out, Lu Xia Tian took what he got from the old man in black and hurried towards the direction out of the canyon.

“Meow...” As soon as he arrived near the cave entrance, Lu Xia Tian heard a roar. He instinctively gripped his sword hilt, but when he looked closely, he saw a leopard with a silver collar running towards him excitedly, circling him.

Well now, so his spirit beast actually escaped the wolf pack too. Lu Xia Tian's face lit up with delight as he patted the leopard's head. The leopard understood and crouched down obediently.

“Let’s go!” Lu Xia Tian shouted cheerfully. The leopard sprang into action, racing towards the distance….

Months later, in a dense jungle, a nimble leopard was fighting and biting with a larger tiger demon. Both sides were evenly matched, but the tiger demon was bigger, giving it an advantage in strength. The two beasts fought together, and after a moment, the leopard fell behind. However, at this time, a dozen or so small green ants flew over from different angles and landed on the tiger demon's body, drilling into its fur and biting. The tiger demon's movements suddenly became sluggish, was bitten in the throat by the leopard, and died instantly.

At this time, a young man with several black pouches hanging from his waist, along with a jade gourd and a short sword, slightly curled the corner of his mouth.

"The effect of the little green ant is indeed extraordinary, no wonder the old man in black robe always kept it with him before."

As for the little green ants, Lu Xia tian was very satisfied with their performance along the way. These little green ants themselves didn't have much killing power, but their paralyzing effect was extremely strong. Moreover, he used his short sword to continuously attack a single little green ant, and failed to kill it. Apart from the astonishing defense of the little green ants themselves, another important reason is that they are small in size and flying in the air is effortless.

Lu Xia Tian took the tiger demon beast's pelt and some bones after it was killed. Every part of a tiger is valuable, selling to pharmacies in town should bring a good profit. He put the whole peeled hide and bones into his storage bag. He also roasted some tiger meat and threw it to the leopard who had been eyeing it with hunger.

He walked away satisfied, carrying the storage bag. After these days of experiments, he discovered that only objects with spiritual energy could be stored in the bag. Among the few herbs in his backpack, Ho Shou Wu was unable to fit inside.

The leopard lay on one side, eating barbecue with its mouth open, while Lu Xiaoteng crossed his legs and practiced as usual.

“Brother Lu, Master Lu, please let me out.” In the white mist, a giant blue fruit-like barrier hung in the air like a blue bubble.

Within the pale, transparent bubbles, the old man in black robes tried to shuttle back and forth with his soul. However, the fog outside the barrier surged, as if trying to pull and tear apart the old man's soul. The old man in black robes was startled and dared not cross the barrier any further.

Before, when he closed-door cultivation, sometimes it would take several months. But within this transparent azure barrier, in his primordial spirit state, he couldn't cultivate at all and couldn't absorb any spiritual energy. For months on end, this dry and boring wait was almost maddening.

“A ruthless and shameless villain like you would actually have the audacity to ask for help It’s truly astonishing.”

Lu Xiaitian's primordial spirit emerged from the mist, speaking across the barrier, "These days, through constant cultivation, he discovered that every time after cultivation, he would appear in this mysterious place within his body. It was just that with more and more occurrences, he realized he could also control the location of his primordial spirit when entering. He had been ignoring the black-robed old man for several months."t time, Lu Xiaottian's alchemy skills have still made notable improvements. 。At the very least, given their previous capabilities, let alone high-grade breakthrough pills, even the success rate of pi...
