r useless son for this! He took the Bi Jiao Pearl and, even with twenty people helping him, couldn't withstand a single strike. If I were you, I'd just find a piece of tofu and end it all...”This is a...The crowd searched the area for clues, but found no apparent flaws. The original herb garden was now in shambles, a scene of devastation with fallen spirit trees everywhere, pockmarked by the pits left behind during the cultivators' fight.
Finally, finding nothing amiss, everyone's eyes turned to the remaining iron lions. The lion horde had only destroyed one during the formation's disruption, and with it, the entire formation ceased to function. There were still quite a few iron lions left.
"Absence of flaws is the greatest flaw itself. The previous formation relied entirely on this group of black iron lions, which served not only to trap enemies but also to power the illusionary technique. Therefore, we must destroy these black iron lions before proceeding."
As a member of the Zhao clan, Zhao Xin's understanding of illusionary arts surpassed that of outsiders like Lu Xia Tian. At that moment, she voiced her suggestion.
"Then what are we waiting for." Lu Xia Tian nodded, directly summoning his ethereal flying sword to strike one of the black iron lions.
A tremor ran through the restrictions on the Black Iron Lion, causing the ethereal flying sword to be sent flying. Lu Xia Tian narrowed his eyes. While the material of this Black Iron Lion was ordinary, the restrictions placed upon it were extraordinary. To transform decay into magic, this is the way of ancient cultivators.
Niutan, Luoqian and others' attacks fell one after another upon the Black Iron Lion.
Now that all external interference was gone, everyone could work without distractions. A short while later, the prohibition crumbled, and the black iron lion statue exploded into countless fragments.
Everyone relentlessly attacked the second one, and so on, until the last black iron lion was also blown to pieces. Suddenly, there was a dizzying sensation, the earth shook violently, and the original herb garden collapsed with a roar. The ground cracked, forming a huge chasm.
From a chasm in the earth, a tremendous suction force came. Lu Xiaoteng's expression changed, and even with all his might, he couldn't stand firm.
"Oh no, this ground fissure is very strange!" Niu Qin sacrificed the Xiao Xun Ni Mo Yin to form a light curtain to cover himself, but it couldn't resist the pulling force of the fissure.
Everyone persisted for a while, but they couldn't hold on any longer and were sucked into the chasm one by one. Until everyone entered the rift, this terrifying suction force abruptly stopped.

Even with Lu Xia Tian's powerful spirit, he felt a dizzy spell. Just as he recovered, a strange medicinal fragrance entered his nostrils. Looking around, he saw several emerald green bamboo shoots, no more than a few joints tall, growing beside a giant tree that was as thick as an embrace.
“Jade-Sinking Bamboo!” Lu Xiaoteng’s face was full of surprise. Jade-Sinking Wood, after ten thousand years, transformed into bamboo. This bamboo was harder than gold and stone, impervious to all spells. It was used to refine flying swords, magical artifacts of the sword type. Even in terms of sharpness and armor-piercing ability, it was likely inferior only to the ethereal Flying Sword. After transforming into bamboo, it could also be refined with secret methods into Jade-Sinking Bamboo battle armor. Rumor had it that this bamboo also had another major use: crafting bamboo puppets. However, the method of using Jade-Sinking Bamboo to craft bamboo puppets had been lost for a long time.
While the Bichen Wood could be cultivated with sufficient spiritual energy, it also required a stroke of luck. It was incredibly rare for trees to become Bichen Bamboo, making it a treasure beyond compare.In the cultivation world, obtaining some Bichen Wood was possible, but finding even a single stalk of Bichen Bamboo proved impossible. Within Lu Xiaoteng's barrier, there was once a small segment, yet it had never matured into Bichen Bamboo. This illustrated just how rare this bamboo truly was.
Only the verdant bamboo before his eyes was something Lu Xia Tian had never seen in his life. In the eyes of those great cultivators, its value surpassed even that of the Hao Yuan Key Grass.
>Ten or so stalks of emerald-green trees, each bearing this bamboo. Underneath the emerald-green trees, there are also large patches of spirit grass, all of which are quite valuable. There are even nascent fruit needed for refining the Nascent Soul Pill.
In the medicinal herb garden to the east of the Bichen Mu forest, about a dozen spirit herbs stood in the center. They were clearly Hao Yuan Key Grass, thriving with vitality amidst the thick, almost tangible spiritual energy.
And on the right side of Hao Yuan Key Cao, a verdant hillside was covered with lush trees. Several dozen emerald green birds, each about the size of a palm and shimmering crystal-like, flew back and forth among them.
"True Illusion Ice Pupil!" At this moment, a vertical ice crystal pupil appeared between Lu Xia Tian's eyebrows. Looking around, he only saw that among the dozens of spiritual bamboo-bearing deep-green woods, there was only one with two or three sections of deep-green bamboo, no more than a foot long.

And on the hillside, those dozens of palm-sized green birds were mere phantoms, with only three being real. Their true forms were not avian, but rather translucent, crystalline spirit jade. Spirit jade transformed into shape, spirit marrow crystal jade!

“As expected, this is the true abode of spirits. However, there are still illusionary restrictions in place here. The Zhao family practices illusions, could it be that this place has a connection to the Zhao clan”
Lu Xiaoteng mused to himself. Faced with so many spirit creatures, Lu Xiaoteng didn't act rashly. Since illusions still existed in this place, there might be other restrictions. There were many types of spirit creatures, but he only had one life.
Lu Xiaotian's eyes flashed. Besides using his Zhen Huan Bing Tong to see the location of the spirit, Lu Xiaotian focused most of his attention on Zhao Xin. Other people might not notice anything strange about the illusions here. If Lu Xiaotian didn't have the Zhen Huan Bing Tong, he wouldn't be able to see through them either. The existence of the illusion made Lu Xiaotian unable to separate this place from the Zhao clan.
As expected, Lu Xia Tian sent a voice transmission to Qiao Lan. As the eight-legged demon bull beast and Luo Qian simultaneously lunged, Niu Qin charged towards Hao Yuan Ye Cao, while Zhao Xin rushed towards Bi Chen Zhu. However, Lu Xia Tian's attention was always focused on Zhao Xin. He discovered that Zhao Xin's true target was not Bi Chen Zhu, but a piece of wood the same color as the towering Bi Chen Mu tree on the highest branch.
Zhao Xin's hands were surrounded by magical power. She extended a finger forward, and the branches at the top of the tree unfolded, revealing a black mirror, about a foot in diameter, that shimmered with an eerie glow. Within it, faint phantoms moved.
"Could this mirror be haunted" Zhao Xin's speed was definitely not slow, but Lu Xiaottian's attention was always on her, naturally he wouldn't be much slower than her.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Moreover, among the many spirits present, there were countless phantoms. Ordinary means couldn't catch them. Niu Qin, the eight-legged demon bull beast, and Qiao Lan's attention was all on the Hao Yuan Key Grass. At this time, they both flew towards this patch of spiritual grass.
While Lu Xiaotian received transmission from Luo Quan, he flashed past the bird transformed from the Ling Shui crystal jade.
It's indeed a relief to have someone absolutely trustworthy by your side, it can save you a lot of trouble. Otherwise, I would be stretched thin myself. Seeing Luo Qian's resolute actions, Lu Xiaoteng felt touched. The Hao Yuan Key Grass was incredibly tempting for a nascent soul stage cultivator like him, even more so than words could describe. Yet, Luo Qian had readily followed Lu Xiaoteng's instructions without hesitation.
If it weren't for Luo Qian, Lu Xia Tian would have hesitated between Zhao Xin and the Ling Su Jing Ti Jade. Now that he has eliminated his worries, Lu Xia Tian can let go and act freely.
With a flick of her finger, Zhao Xin sent the jet-black mirror flying towards her. Just as she was about to grasp it, a familiar sword intent struck, cutting between Zhao Xin and the flying mirror.
“It’s that troublesome fellow again.” Zhao Xin gritted her teeth in annoyance. She didn’t even need to turn around, just by sensing the sword intent, she knew it was Lu Xia Tian who had made the move.Stag based on Long Yuan's aura. Whether the Snowfield Demon Stag clashed with Xiang Kuang in a stalemate or was killed by him, it wouldn't be a bad thing for Lu Xia Tian. 。At this time, the little wh...
