ost Clan, and they were truly formidable. 。His moves were even more bizarre and unpredictable, his magical prowess profound. He also employed some techniques that seemed almost demonic. 。It was the...In the canyon, tigers roared and monkeys shrieked. Lu Xiaoteng rode on a leopard's back, carrying a bulging pack. Inside, like always, was salt. This time, he also added a small iron pot and a large bundle of ropes. A month ago, he had vaguely seen a mountain peak in the distance with a spiritual herb growing on it. Although it was too far away to collect, after this incident, Lu Xiaoteng used the collected wild animal bones to weave a long rope and always carried it with him when he went out.

The black bear is the spirit beast of the black robed elder and does not allow Lu Xiaoteng to ride on its back. The leopard, in comparison to the black bear, is much smaller, but despite carrying Lu Xiaoteng, an eleven-year-old boy, it can still run at a considerable speed.

It seems that it's completely worth trading the Qi Gathering Pill for this Grey Wolf spirit beast.

After passing the area he had previously searched, Lu Xia Tian considered for a moment before getting off the leopard's back and walking to search. This way, he would not miss any needed herbs.

The old man in black robes was truly stingy, not even teaching him how to identify spirit herbs. Besides the white-glowing grass used for refining beast spirit pills, he didn't mention anything else. After searching for nearly two hours among the roadside grass and shrubs, he found nothing. This kind of search was not only inefficient but also very troublesome. Lu Xiaoteng couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with the old man in black robes. A sharp knife doesn't rust when used to chop wood. If it weren't for the old man's stinginess, he would have cultivated faster, his cultivation level would be higher, and he could do more for the old man in black robes.

Although he thought about it, Lu Xia Tian also understood a truth, that pie doesn't fall from the sky. When he first came to the valley, Lu Xia Tian regarded the old man in black as his reliance. It was only after living in the canyon for this period of time that Lu Xia Tian realized that the only one he could rely on was himself. The reason why the old man in black saved him was nothing more than wanting him to handle some trivial matters in the cave mansion. He didn't really want to teach him anything.

Once he understood this, during the time the old man in black robes was away, Lu Xia Tian would venture out to look for spiritual creatures as long as the circumstances allowed. Although finding them was like searching for a needle in a haystack, it was better than sitting idle in the cave dwelling.

The deeper into the canyon one went, the thicker the mist became. If it weren't for the fact that he had cultivated the Hun Yuan Jing after, his eyesight would have been several times stronger than before, I am afraid that now Lu Xia Tian could only see a distance of two or three zhang. Another ten miles deep into the canyon, it might be only two zhang around. Lu Xia Tian frowned slightly. In this way, the efficiency of searching was too low. It's a pity that after cultivating the Hun Yuan Jing, although he had cultivated his Qi and become a Qi cultivator, besides having greater strength and better eyesight, there seemed to be no other significant changes.

Could there be no other use for zhenqi Even though the old man in black robe didn't say it, he should give it a try. Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoteng took a breath and secretly circulated the zhenqi in his dantian to his eyes. As soon as a trace of zhenqi flowed, he suddenly felt a white blur in his eyes, as if covered by something, even worse than when he used his naked eyes to see. Could zhenqi not be used this way Lu Xiaoteng was startled. He was about to withdraw the circulating zhenqi, but at this moment, his eyes suddenly felt cool, and his vision became clear again. Everything within a hundred meters was crystal clear. The black bear and gray wolf's fine fur were all clearly visible. It was truly extraordinary.

"It turns out that spiritual energy can actually be used this way. Lu Xia Tian was overjoyed in an instant, not just because he could see farther, but the success of the experiment made him feel that even if no one taught him, he could slowly figure out some uses for spiritual energy in the future."

Lu Xiaoteng was elated by his first successful use of his qi, feeling invigorated. His search speed had increased tenfold, and after an hour, he had delved deep into the canyon, oblivious to the subtle changes occurring around him.

It wasn't until a black bear dropped a mangled sheep at Lu Xiaoteng's feet that he shook his head and smiled. If he hadn't taken good care of the black bear, it would have thrown a tantrum. When the bear got angry, Lu Xiaoteng was honestly a bit outmatched.

This is a placeholder.

It was only when he was gathering firewood that Lu XiaTian saw the patch of woods in front of him, his face changing color instantly. He had been searching along this direction just moments ago and hadn't seen this grove of trees.

Perhaps he had misremembered. Holding a sliver of hope, Lu Xia Tian summoned his flower leopard and rode it in another direction for a while, his face becoming increasingly grim. Ever since he became a cultivator, Lu Xia Tian's memory had improved significantly. He clearly remembered the path he had taken just now - a small hillock, with a crystal-clear stream less than five feet wide on its eastern side. But at this moment, both the hillock and the stream had vanished, replaced by a dense forest.

"Go back and find the black bear." Lu Xiaoteng patted the leopard's neck. Suddenly, he found himself in a strange environment. The first thing Lu Xiaoteng thought of was to meet up with the black bear and avoid encountering other demon beasts later on. Relying only on him and the leopard, their self-preservation abilities were quite insufficient in this complex canyon.

As Lu Xia Tian walked back, after covering a mile or two, the place he had just passed became a sea of white and blue flowers again. There was no trace of the black bear anymore.

Unless he saw it with his own eyes, Lu Xia Tian would never believe that something growing on the ground could move. But the sight before him left Lu Xia Tian feeling utterly bewildered.

"Awoo..."

A familiar howl echoed through the air, followed by a chorus of responses from packs of wolves. Lu Xiaoteng's heart skipped a beat. It was another wolf pack, and this one seemed to be larger than the previous encounter.

"Let's go!" Lu Xia Tian hurriedly urged the leopard to move in small steps to another place. One was to conserve energy, and the other was that the terrain they were currently in was surrounded on all sides, which was not conducive to defense. Besides, the black bear wasn't around either. If they fell into the wolves' encirclement, things would be very troublesome behind them.

The leopard seemed agitated, carrying Lu Xiaotian towards a place deeper in the mist.

After running for about five or six miles, Lu Xia Tian turned back to look. Behind him was an abyss that seemed to have no end. In front of him, ten or so wild wolves were howling and charging towards him.

Judging from the aura emanating from these wolf packs, most of them were ordinary wild beasts, with only a few parts giving off a chilling aura. However, this aura was not as powerful as that of the leopard under Lu Xia Tian's command. Their physique was also about one-third smaller than Lu Xia Tian's spirit beast, the leopard. The only reason they posed a threat was their sheer number, and they were constantly calling for nearby kin to join them.

Lu Xiaotian leaped down from the leopard's back and hurried to the edge of the cliff. Even with his Qi flowing, he could only see a distance of about a hundred zhang

below. However, the area below was shrouded in mist and clouds, making it impossible to see the bottom. About twenty zhang away, Lu Xiaotian saw another small platform formed by a rock protruding a few zhang high. There were also some green vines on it.

Against all odds, Lu Xiaoteng's heart leapt with joy. He seized the opportunity as the wild wolf was intimidated by the power of the spirit beast leopard and hesitated to advance. Lu Xiaoteng hurriedly opened his bag and took out a rope, tying one end of it to a thick trunk of a tree on the edge of the cliff.le bamboo afterward. Becoming part of the bamboo forest.The petite woman, the old man with a black staff, and the others who were fighting the green lizards with the hidden jade techniques were horrif...
