gy became the final disruptor. Lu Xia Tian's face contorted with pain, this feeling of being on the verge of bursting was truly unbearable. His dantian had a greater capacity for absorbing spiritual...(On the first day of the new year, I wish all book lovers a prosperous New Year and good luck in their careers.)

There's also something that might be quite helpful to the land brothers, a spirit essence crystal jade specifically for body cultivation!

As soon as the eight-legged Demon Ox's voice fell, Lu Xia Tian's eyes suddenly opened. He was now at the ninth level of Body Cultivation and his cultivation in mana had reached the early stage of Nascent Soul, equivalent to the tenth level. However, his proficiency in Body Cultivation had never been able to break through, lacking the breakthrough artifact.

Fragments of the dantian become infant spirits, requiring the formation of an infant elixir. As for a ninth-tier body cultivator advancing to the next level, they also need heaven and earth treasures. The Spiritual Marrow Crystal Jade is one such invaluable treasure. It allows a ninth-tier body cultivator to undergo Nirvana rebirth, greatly increasing their cultivation base. It bridges the gap between the ninth tier and the tenth tier's heavenly chasm.

“Are two spiritual beings together” Lu Xiaoteng asked.

"It's inside a cave dwelling. The cave was originally an ancient cultivator's cultivation site. After the ancient cultivator left, the restrictions within the cave transformed it into a perilous place. There are layers of restrictions inside, and there's also an old rival of mine who is also searching for treasure in that area. Without outside help, let alone obtaining treasures, even surviving an encounter with my old enemy would be difficult."

When mentioning his old adversary, the Eight-Legged Demon Bull's voice was filled with a sinister killing intent.

“However, treasures are limited and cannot be divided equally among everyone. Brother Lu and I will each take one piece. As for Luo Qian and Qiao Lan, they can only rely on their luck to obtain some other spiritual objects within the cave dwelling. Brother Lu is the strongest among us, so we must naturally dispel any dissatisfaction Luo Qian and Qiao Lan may have.”

"Luo Qian, you don't need to worry. As for Qiao Lan, an arm can't twist a leg. I assume she won't have too much of an opinion when the time comes. If we stick together, our chances of survival will be greater. If we separate, Qiao Lan wouldn't be so unwise either. She knows how to judge situations."

Lu Xia Tian replied, "Not to mention that Sheng Yuan Hao's key pill is a rare treasure, even the Ling Sui Crystal Jade alone is worth his personal trip. Currently, if one wants to break through to the middle stage of Yuanying, it still takes a considerable amount of time to accumulate. To quickly enhance strength, just like when he was cultivating in the foundation building and golden core periods, completing a breakthrough in physical cultivation is a good option."

“Alright then, let’s give it a try.” The eight-legged demon ox gritted its teeth, a hint of relief in its heart. The arrival of the Zhao clan had given it a sense of crisis. It had initially trusted Lu Xiaoteng, but in front of the Hao Yao Lingcao, even their relatively solid alliance could turn into enmity.

"I wonder if, by taking Lu Daoist to seek the spiritual marrow crystal jade, we can exchange it for a way to counter the Zhao clan's illusion techniques" The eight-legged demon bull beast added.

“Brother Niu, you still want to deal with your enemy together with me This is an equal exchange. As for the methods of dealing with the Zhao family’s illusionary arts, it requires something else in return.” Lu Xia Tian raised his eyelids, he wouldn't agree so easily to the eight-legged demonic ox beast.

But regarding Lu Qin, Lu Xiaotian didn't hide anything either, after all, Lu Qin had even imparted his own cultivation techniques to him. However, when Lu Qin heard Lu Xiaotian's method of dealing with the Zhao clan's illusions, he could only shake his head helplessly, knowing it was easier said than done.

At this moment, Luo Qian finally understood that Lu Xia Tian's method of dealing with the white-clothed middle-aged woman before was so simple. However, even if it was simple, for an ordinary cultivator, it would be almost impossible to do. He incorporated all the flowers, trees, mountains and stones around him into his monitoring range. How powerful a primordial spirit did he need to achieve this

Although it seemed almost unbelievable, Luo Qian still didn't doubt Lu Xiaoteng's words. After all, during the Qi Refining stage, he had already witnessed Lu Xiaoteng's extraordinary Nascent Soul. In battles against other cultivators, he could even divert a large amount of energy to control two incredibly powerful puppets.

Now, it's unclear what state his senior brother has reached. But based on Luo Qian's understanding of Lu Xiaoteng, he will definitely be even more unfathomable than before.

"Brother Niu, you have also passed through Hu Bingfeng to this secret realm before. If you are familiar with the terrain, you can take us around here." After secretly reaching an agreement with the eight-legged demon ox beast, Lu Xiaoteng directly said.

“I still remember a few places. There are some spirits there, so I’ll bring everyone along to look for them. If we don't find anything, we'll ask Lian Yue for advice.” The Eight-Legged Demon Bull Beast nodded without being polite. Among the few people, Luo Qian followed Lu Xiaoteng’s orders unconditionally, while Lian Yue was completely an outsider. Since Lu Xiaoteng spoke, there was naturally no objection.

"It turns out that Brother Niu has also been here, which is even better. I'm just a prisoner now, if there's a place where I can be of use later, I won't refuse. As for the acquired treasures, you all distribute them first. I have no other requests, as long as I can dispel Daoist Lu and your concerns."

Lian Yue spoke very smoothly, and he also knew that to Lu Xiaoteng and the others, he didn't have much credibility right now. Being able to keep his life for the time being was already a good thing, especially since the eight-legged demonic bull beast coveted his flesh and blood. In this situation, how dare he ask for more.

"Let's see what you have to offer first. If your words are true and you don't harbor any ill intentions, joining our ranks wouldn't be out of the question," Lu Xiaoxiao glanced at the other person, giving Lian Yue a reassuring look. Although he desired Lian Yue's Nascent Soul for the Blood Ding's Demon Array, he also knew that Lian Yue seemed to possess knowledge about the Zhao clan and the secrets from Qin Ling Emperor's era.

Lu XiaTian didn't believe that Lian Yue would reveal everything they knew all at once. Maybe the other party still knew some other secrets, after all, their time here was longer than that of the Eight-legged Demon Bull Beast.

“Good, I will definitely not disappoint Daoist Lu then.” Lian Yue saw that Lu Xiaoteng accepted his offer and immediately beamed with joy, nodding eagerly.

Joe Lan's eyes darted between Lu Xiaoteng and the eight-legged demon beast, but she couldn't make sense of it. However, out of trust in Lu Xiaoteng, she didn't object.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Four people, one ox, fled at high speed, leaving faint trails of magic fluctuations in the sky.

Across a range of mountains, a lake spanning a thousand miles in radius. Arriving at a shallow marsh veiled in mist.

Here, the water is heavy with moisture. The accumulated water, only a few meters deep, stretches for hundreds of miles. The lotus leaves rise and fall, stretching as far as the eye can see, giving one the feeling of endless green lotus leaves reaching to the sky.

“Brother Niu, have you brought us here just to admire the lotuses” Luo Qian, who rarely spoke, was also puzzled at this time. He, along with Qiao Lan and Lian Yue, looked curiously at the eight-legged demon bull that had stopped.

“Of course not, Lu brother, have you found any flaws” The eight-legged demon ox beast looked at the bewildered crowd with some pride, feeling quite accomplished.

“Just with the naked eye, it's indeed hard to tell.” Lu Xia Tian shook his head, he was also looking around, but didn't find anything out of the ordinary, of course, this was without using the True Illusion Ice Pupil.ithin the formation.
