Chapter 624: The Strange Girl

rupted from Big Beard, his yellow light shattered. At the same time, a needle as thin as a cowhair shot out from Ziying and pierced straight into Big Beard's chest, going all the way through.A white l...A single Hanlu Dan could only sustain him for a few days. At this time, Lu Xia Tian still had Hanlu Dans on him, after all, it had been over half a year since he last entered this place. The preparations Lu Xia Tian made were indeed considerable. However, judging from the current situation, the Hanlu Dans he had refined were still not enough. Even the Yin Ye Fo Tong wood had a large number of gaps, and based on the number of spirit stones currently within the formation, he would need to gather a lot more.

Lu Xia Tian pondered for a moment, chin resting on his hand. He wasn't short of ways to obtain spirit stones. Whether it was refining pills and selling them in the market of Wusheng City, or the large amount of spiritual objects he had obtained from people like Chi Yun Sang and Wang Tuo Monster within the Misty Palace, they all held tremendous value. Moreover, inside the barrier, there were piles of seventh, eighth, and even ninth-order demonic beast corpses. These were excellent materials for refining weapons and would definitely fetch a large sum of spirit stones if sold. However, selling these things was troublesome. After all, he had too many items on hand, and he couldn't possibly sell them all at once, attracting unwanted attention.

“It seems that not only will I have to reshape the silverleaf bodhi wood in this abandoned well, but also I’ll need to find time in Wusheng City to deal with some extra things I have on hand.”

Lu Xia Tian made a temporary decision, and refining the Demon Subduing Tower would be at least decades later. Within these decades, he only had the Splitting Earth Saber and the如意 Battle Armor to rely on. The如意 Battle Armor was both offensive and defensive, but his cultivation in physical arts was still lacking, failing to unleash its true power. It was only when using the Soul-Swallowing Technique that it proved effective. As for daily use, only the Splitting Earth Saber could be relied upon.

Prior to this, Lu Xia Tian stayed in Wushang City for several months in order to find an opportunity to enter Hou Mansion. He was quite familiar with Wushang City. It seemed that finding an opportunity to repair the Fire Jiao bow and arrow was indeed necessary. As a large city, Wushang City's scale was several times larger than Wang Yue City back then. There were also many Jin Dan cultivators gathered here. This auction would likely not be of low grade, and perhaps there were some things he wanted as well.

With such thoughts in mind, Lu Xia Tian put away the Qinglian dharma seat, which he had specially refined for refining the Town Demon Tower. With a movement of his figure, he emerged from the Sealing Fire Spirit Formation and reached the well's opening. Since he didn't notice anyone outside, he directly came out from inside.

Several days had passed since the gathering of young masters and ladies at the Crimson Leaf Lotus Pond. They were nowhere to be seen now. As I walked through the spirit fields, I saw many spirit servants tending to various kinds of spirit herbs and trees, driving away all manner of demon birds that wanted to eat the spiritual fruits.

However, when Lu XiaTian returned to his small courtyard, he didn't expect Cao Kun to be there already. At this time, Cao Kun had a young woman beside him with several scars on her face and dressed in ordinary servant garb. This woman gave Lu XiaTian a vague sense of familiarity. At first, he thought it was just an illusion, but from the fleeting look of surprise in the servant woman's eyes, Lu XiaTian was sure that the servant woman must know him. He just couldn't remember who she was for a moment.

"Lu Dao-you, where have you been these past few days I've come to look for you several times." Cao Kun complained.

“Caoguanjia came looking for me What is it that he wants” Lu Xia tian did not directly answer where he went, but instead asked back.

"It's nothing, just that I ran into a few friends recently. We were having a good time and when I hosted them for dinner, I started reminiscing about how good your wine is. They all chimed in, so I took it out. And as you know, the rest is history."

Cao Kun chuckled and, seeing that Lu Xiaoteng wouldn't speak, he stopped asking. After all, he had already instructed Di Youquan to secretly investigate the main positions of the Hou Mansion over the past few days, and there was no trace of Lu Xiaoteng appearing. There was nothing unusual about the mansion either. As long as Lu Xiaoteng didn't have any ulterior motives towards the Hou Mansion, Cao Kun wouldn't mind his own business. Over the past six months or so, he had gotten to know Lu Xiaoteng a little bit, and for Lu Xiaoteng's private affairs, Cao Kun didn't want to meddle.

"You're spending too much. At your current rate, my stock won't last." Lu Xia Tian rolled his eyes and threw another jug of wine to Cao Kun.

“Good, good! This time I will definitely drink less.” Cao Kun smiled and took the wine. He turned to leave and then turned back, saying, “This little one is a descendant of an old friend of mine, named Ye Xin. She will also stay in the Hou Mansion’s backyard. If anyone bullies her, please help look after her.”

“With Cao, your steward’s prestige, who would dare to act against what is said” Lu Xia Tian exclaimed in surprise.

"Just a greeting. You, with your slippery hands, always manage to avoid the young master when they come around. This time, just take care of things for me. The second young master isn't easy to deal with, you should understand that." Cao Kun glared at Lu Xia Tian and said.

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

"Alright, when the second young master arrived, I told her to be careful and avoid him." Lu Xia Tian nodded. Cao Fu's second young master, Cao Bao, had a somewhat cruel disposition and liked to whip his servants. Several servants had already been beaten to death by him with his whip, and more than ten others had also been whipped by him. Since Cao Kun spoke up, he naturally had to help out.

“Okay, I’ll leave this to you. It seems quite lonely living in this small courtyard alone. Why don't you just stay in your backyard Well, that's decided then. If anything happens, just let him know.” Cao Kun didn’t wait for Lu Xia Tian to object; he turned and walked away with his wine flask, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

It's astounding how fast a Foundation Establishment cultivator can be. Lu Xia Tian was left speechless. The other party seemed afraid he would object, like they were doing him a favor. He was perfectly content living alone, and now this extra burden just felt like an inconvenience. He wasn't sure what Cao Kun had been thinking to toss him this problem, but he couldn't just ignore it.

“What a bad luck.” Lu Xia Tian said with an upset tone, but this was Cao Kun’s territory. If he really wanted to arrange her here, Lu Xia Tian had no choice. Pointing to a path in the small courtyard, “There’s lodging over there, you can tidy it up yourself. I’ll inform you if anything happens. When I’m not around, don’t wander outside the courtyard, just hide well. Young Master Cao is cruel and violent, if you run into him, you might be beaten to death with no one to help you.”

The girl named Ye Xin nodded to show she understood, then walked straight to the position Lu Xia Tian had indicated. She didn't intend to stay and chat with Lu Xia Tian any longer.

“I think I’ve seen this person before.” Looking at the other person’s back, Lu Xia Tian’s eyes revealed a hint of confusion again, but he couldn’t remember who the other person was for a moment. Soon, Lu Xia Tian dismissed this confusion, He had stayed in Wushang City for a while and met quite a few people. Even if he felt somewhat familiar, it wasn't unusual. He still had a lot of things to do and no time to dwell on such fleeting impressions.

Lu Xiaoteng did not stay in the courtyard for long, but instead left directly from another gate dedicated to servants' entry and exit at the Zhenwei Hou Mansion. He mounted his sword and flew straight to the bustling market area of Wusheng City.ily deceived by others. If the other party truly believed his background was problematic or wanted to deal with him, they wouldn't have called him here alone. Judging from the surface, just Chong Yun...
