Chapter 675: Competing for Talent

ain. However, as for the specific reason, Luo Zhongting only hinted at it without elaborating further. His eyes swept past Xiang Qingcheng standing beside Lu Xiaoteng, his meaning couldn't be more obv...(Before it was 2K words per chapter, two updates a day. Recently, it has changed to one update a day with 4K words. The amount is about the same.)

...but after the changes, the already dismal data in all aspects became even worse... 。So there's no way around it, I'll have to change it to two updates a day. 。Can still improve the display rate of updates. 。Let's revert the update time back to the previous one. 。"Brother Lu, you are indeed a man of your word. You even refined a few more days' worth of pills. I am deeply grateful. With your skill in alchemy, you shouldn't be among the unknown. How come I never heard of Brother Lu's name when he was in Xiongshi Mountain to Wushang City"Shao Zixia swept her beautiful eyes back and forth over Lu Xiaoteng and said: 。Lu Xiaotiān's Ding Hun Dan contains mostly high-grade pills, with low-grade pills being a minority. Such a high level of skill is not something that an ordinary intermediate alchemist could achieve. 。The higher the quality of the Soul Binding Pill, the longer they can stay in this dangerous place, not to mention that the influence of that mysterious aura will be reduced to a lower level. 。And so many mid-grade Soul-Stabilizing Pills, yet not a single high-grade Soul-Stabilizing Pill appeared. Whether it was Shao Zixia or Yu Dongbao and the others, they all speculated that the high-grade Soul-Stabilizing Pills must have been taken by Lu Xia Tian himself. 。 。As Shao Zixia and the others had thought, the best batch of Dinghun Pills was indeed kept by Lu Xia Tian himself. 。"As a solitary cultivator who has spent years in seclusion, I rarely venture out. So there is no such thing as fame or notoriety for me. Compared to the illustrious families with their widespread reputations, I am far less known." 。"Lu Xia Tian smiled calmly, "Brother Yu, the month's time is over by a few days. Can I leave now" 。“A lone cultivator” Mu Zi Xin’s eyes lit up. “Brother Lu, we've fought side-by-side. You being alone in this dangerous place is too risky. Why not stay with us After we leave this place, if you don't mind, come to our Mu family in Yan Hui Mountain. Though it's not a top power in Tianwu Kingdom, our Mu family has a Yuan Ying ancestor as its guardian. For an outstanding alchemist like you, Brother Lu, our ancestor would surely welcome you.” 。"Lu brother, our Yu family's business operations are spread across the Tianwu Kingdom, Be Qi Kingdom, and Xiang Kingdom. The resources we can mobilize are countless, and our Yu family is not short of Yuan Ying ancestors. Like you, Lu brother, your alchemy level is no less than that of a high-level alchemist." 。Being young and having a long lifespan, within our Yu family, I receive more resources. As long as there are enough spiritual materials for cultivation, becoming an Alchemy Master in the future is just around the corner. 。Once he reaches the level of a Master Alchemist, Lu Xiong's status and standing will be on par with that of an average Nascent Soul cultivator. 。Yu Dongbao was secretly annoyed. He had been overtaken by a mere servant girl, Mu Zixian, in the pursuit of Lu Xiaotiān. However, he quickly regained his composure and flaunted the advantages of the Yu family. Even if Lu Xiaotiān chose, the Mu family would be no match for his Yu family. 。A alchemist like Lu Xia Tian, if he could be brought under my command, his influence within the Yu family would undoubtedly increase significantly. 。

Senior Ancestor Yuan Ying was high and mighty, usually unconcerned with worldly matters. If he had a master alchemist at his disposal, someone who could refine the Golden Elixir Pill, his position in the Yu family would be as solid as Mount Tai. He would even stand a better chance of competing for the next generation's head of the family.

Even on the Chi Yan Continent, where spiritual creatures are plentiful, it is not easy to obtain Jindan. And high-level alchemists capable of refining Jindan are even more rare strategic resources. 。“Indeed, my Shao family and the Yu family are closely connected, not inferior to the Mu family. We always welcome talented individuals like Brother Lu to join us.” 。Shao Zixia smiled. 。“Is it even possible that a high-level alchemist doesn't know yet” 。"Ho Ye coldly snorted, feeling somewhat displeased." 。“What Huo Dao-you said is indeed correct. I am still quite a distance away from becoming a high-level alchemist, and my ambition is not to become an alchemist. To become a master alchemist, the difficulty is no less than that of becoming a Yuan Ying cultivator.” 。Lu XiaTian shook his head. 。"Since that's the case, I won't force it. Lu Xiong, think it over carefully." 。"Although Brother Lu's skills are extraordinary, why not accompany us on this perilous treasure hunt" Yu Dongbao heard Lu Xiaottian's refusal and quickly smiled again. 。"Going treasure hunting with you all is a good option, though I have something else to attend to outside. It would take quite some time to go back and forth, and perhaps Brother Yu and the rest of you wouldn't be able to wait." 。I'd better go out first. 。Lu Xia Tian shook his head again. Among these four people, even though they had some disagreements, he was ultimately just an outsider. 。However, this was not what bothered him most. He had quite a number of soul-binding pills refined, enough for several years' worth even if they were divided among several people. 。That is to say, they have made plans to stay here for a long time. 。Lu Xia Tian doesn't mind staying in this place for a few years, but for him, any time should be used reasonably, even though he already had the Earth-Moon Gangsha. To refine the Seventh Level Stupa was still not easy, although the refining time of the Seventh Level Stupa was longer, at least there was hope. As for the Misty Sword Array, whether it could collect all the required spirits, it would depend on luck in the future. 。may not actually be able to do so 。What could entice Yu Dongbao and others to risk staying here must be no small matter. Lu Xia Tian indeed had intentions, but regardless of the circumstances, he had to return to the Zhenwei Hou Mansion to use the Huo Yun Bao to collect enough Di Yue Gang Sha. 。This way, it won't affect his plan to refine the Demon Suppressing Pagoda in the future. 。

Shao Zixia also detained a few words, but Lu Xiaotien had made up his mind. Yu Dongbao could only give up. The two sides said a few polite words, and Lu Xiaotien's figure directly disappeared into the deep stone cave.

"To actually dare to leave alone, there is some courage after all." 。“The Hawk saw Lu Xiaoxian leaving so honestly, and couldn’t help but say in surprise” 。“This person's strength is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and he may not have really left this place. He might just not want to be with us. It's likely that he kept all the high-quality Dinghun Dan for himself.” 。"Mu Zi Xin said coldly. " 。It's natural that it won't be simple. Having seen the prowess of the Shadow Mouse and still daring to act alone, one can only say that this person does not regard the Shadow Mouse. 。Besides, leaving the swamp was no easy feat. An ordinary cultivator alone would find it extremely difficult to escape the attacks of the swamp beasts beneath. And if they flew too high, the swarms of demonic birds above the swamp were not to be trifled with either. 。"Shao Zixia added," 。As soon as Shao Zijia reminded them, Huo Ying and Mu Zixin both drew in a cold breath. 。Even Ho-ying, the most accomplished martial artist, wouldn't be arrogant enough to single-handedly face several Shadow Weasels. After all, those creatures are too fast. 。And they almost lost their entire army to the dangers of the swamp when they first arrived, only managing to escape with their lives by sheer luck. After two attempts at reconnaissance, they gradually figured out a viable path. 。Lu Xiaoteng's first time here already had such confidence, which made several people feel more doubtful and disbelief. 。“Let’s go, don't bother about what happened. This person's background is mysterious, like a hazy figure in the mist. As long as they aren't an enemy, let them be.” 。"Yu Dongbao shook his head, unwilling to waste any more time on this matter. With a flash of his figure, he stepped out of the stone cave." 。 sending us to our deaths!" The woman in blue said coldly."Since you're just like us, not arriving a step earlier, you really think of yourself as the master here" Gao Daqing sneered.Please note that...
