ng as his first engagement. After all, the Zhan Yue Alliance had reorganized its deployment, and facing the combined efforts of numerous Jindan cultivators, Lu Xia Tian could no longer sweep across th..."It's a good thing, just now thanks to Senior Brother Lu." Su Qing looked at the dense fire bats behind her with a look of fear, then she rolled her eyes and said, "Everyone says that Senior Brother Lu, you have an average aptitude and little potential. But I think those people are blind. This is also because Senior Brother Lu has been keeping a low profile. If you showed off your skills a couple of times, I'm afraid even the Golden Core elders would be vying to take you as their disciple."

There were some things Su Qing could say, but Luo Qian and Lu Xiaoteng weren't close enough for this. And with his face, he couldn't possibly say these things. However, he was also very curious. He had been to the Library Pavilion of Lingxiao Palace himself, and he had even asked his master Lei Wanting, but he hadn't heard of any martial arts with such terrifying attacking power.

“It’s not that those people have bad eyesight, it’s the truth. If it weren’t for always having my head in my pants these past years, narrowly escaping death countless times, I probably wouldn’t be much different from an ordinary person now.”

Lu Xiaoxiao shook his head and smiled wryly. He knew himself best, though his circumstances were good and he dared to take risks, in reality, if not for the magical barrier within his body, which could continuously mature various spirit herbs for alchemy, with a steady supply of pills, his cultivation would have been impossible to reach its current level.

"Let's not dwell on that. We're still not completely out of danger, Lu Xiongshi. What do you think we should do now"

"What can be done Of course, we have to head towards the direction of the Golden Condensation Fruit. Naturally, we'll take it one step at a time."

Lu Xia Tian shrugged. The reason he had revealed some of his strength before was not only because of the Green Bone Skeleton, but also because he had spent some time with Su Qing and Luo Qian. It was not good to hide his abilities completely in front of these two. It was just that after the appearance of the three skulls, the exposed strength increased a bit.

After the fire bats took over their new territory, a large number of magpie eggs were broken, and the distant magpie flock continuously cried out in grief. Lu Xiaoteng and several others saw this scene, and they couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in their hearts.

"Caw…" A fire crow's nest atop a towering tree was noticeably larger than the others. Several fire crows fought fiercely, facing an onslaught of hundreds of fire bats. Leading them was a fourth-order fire crow, its feathers falling constantly under the fire bats' attacks, some even emitting a burnt smell.

In the nest, most of the fire crow eggs were pecked by fire bats. A fire crow chick was stronger than usual chicks. Facing the attacking fire bats, it didn't feel afraid but fiercely pecked back. But how could this young fire crow resist those adult fire bats If it weren't for the adult fire crows beside it desperately fighting back, I'm afraid it would have been bitten to death by the fire bats long ago, or burned to ashes by their fireballs.

The firebats surrounded them in vast numbers, and the main force of the fire ravens had long since fled. These remaining trapped fire ravens were merely the last flicker of a dying flame, and it wouldn't be long before they exhausted their strength and perished. Such inter-group warfare was not uncommon in the Cultivation Realm. Su Qing and Luo Qian watched, finding it brutal but not particularly strange. In the blink of an eye, all those resisting fire ravens were reduced to just the strongest fourth-order fire raven desperately holding on, yet its once substantial form now resembled a withered leaf about to be swept away by the wind and rain.

It was just that Lu Xia Tian saw the stubborn young firebird, facing these insurmountable enemies still struggling and futilely resisting, he couldn't help but think of himself when he was still a handyman in Leidaomen. He chopped firewood at the back mountain, and desperately resisted against wolves and other wild beasts in the forest. Although the other party was just a young firebird, their circumstances were somewhat similar. Lu Xia Tian felt a touch in his heart, raised his hand, and with a gesture, dozens of wind blades flew out, cutting the fire bats attacking the firebird in half.

The fourth-order firebird was startled and immediately turned its gaze towards Lu Xiaitian. Seeing several outsiders make a move, the weak eyes held a hint of vigilance. However, when it saw that a large number of fire bats were flying in from afar, despair flashed in the fourth-order firebird's eyes, and then it kept wailing at Lu Xiaitian and his companions. A glimmer of determination appeared in the fourth-order firebird's eyes, it flew into the nest and pecked up its firebird chick with its beak, flying towards Lu Xiaitian's direction. It could sense a hint of pity in the eyes of these outsiders towards them.

Lu Xia Tian reached out his hand, a gentle wind rising to try and catch the large and small two fire ravens. But to his surprise, the fourth-order fire raven simply opened its beak and pushed the young fire demon forward, its eyes filled with a touch of human-like love and reluctance. With a mournful cry, it plummeted towards the ground. With a thud, the fire raven's head collided with the ground, dying instantly. Lu Xia Tian stared intently, discovering another fire raven of considerable strength on the ground, already dead for some time. He couldn't help but be shaken. Even among human cultivators, couples were common, but the longer they trained, the more rational they became. It was rare to see such a thing as suicide for love. Unexpectedly, these fire ravens had such passionate natures.

It was Su Qing and Luo Qian who saw this scene, they couldn't help but be speechless for a long time.

Lu Xia Tian reached out and beckoned the fledgling firebird over, holding it in his palm. The fledgling was still unaware of anything amiss, stretching its beak towards Lu Xia Tian to suckle. Lu Xia Tian didn't mind, letting it peck him once. He originally thought nothing of it, but unexpectedly, a prickling sensation arose in his palm. Lu Xia Tian couldn't help but be slightly shocked.

"Senior Brother Lu, what's wrong with you" Su Qing saw the strange expression on Lu Xiaoxiao's face and couldn't help but ask.

This is the translated text: This is the end of the paragraph.

“It’s nothing, just got pecked by this little guy. This magpie's strength isn't small.” Lu Xiaoteng said with a quick return to his usual expression.

“A fire crow is just an ordinary monster bird, its methods are limited, but its beak is indeed quite sharp.” Su Qing smiled upon hearing this, not thinking much of it.

As for the introduction to fire crows in the cultivation world, Lu Xia Tian naturally understood it very well. However, he knew his own situation best. At this time, the strength he displayed was still only a small part. Su Qing naturally didn't think much of it. If she knew that he was already at the peak of the sixth stage of physical cultivation, she would probably be so shocked that her eyes would pop out. In terms of physical cultivation, to have such astonishing progress, unless it hit vital points, even ordinary dan yuan artifacts would probably find it difficult to inflict a fatal blow on him. As for ordinary artifacts, in a short period of time, it would be extremely difficult to break through his defenses. And this tiny fire crow chick, with just an ordinary peck, made him feel a faint stinging sensation. Doesn't that mean the beak of this fire crow chick is already comparable to the attack of some powerful artifacts

Lu Xiaottian was full of surprise. The fire crow chick pecked twice more, actually pecking open the skin on Lu Xiaottian's palm. A crimson blood bead oozed out. The beak of the fire crow chick perfectly touched it and sucked in the blood bead. As for Lu Xiaottian, his cultivation not only had an extremely strong defense but also an extraordinary self-healing ability. In the blink of an eye, this small wound was already restored as before. The fire crow chick that had eaten a drop of his blood yawned in a rather human way and fell onto his palm with a tired look, falling asleep soundly. Seeing the innocent appearance of the fire crow chick, Lu Xiaottian smiled while feeling a hint of joy. Unexpectedly, a moment of kindness had subdued such an interesting little creature. Even at a young age, it had such sharp attack power. When it grew up, it might have the strength to break through the sixth-rank monster bird, which was equivalent to the strength of a Golden Core cultivator's monster bird. However, there was also a hint of doubt in Lu Xiaottian's heart. Even ordinary fire crows, even when they were adults, did not have such power. Was this little black chick really just an offspring of a fire crow Looking at its appearance, it was indeed no different from an ordinary fire crow. It was truly a strange thing.

After flying for a while, the group had successfully escaped the fire bat's pursuit range. They estimated that the fire bat would need to consolidate its newly claimed territory and wouldn't launch new attacks on surrounding monsters and beasts in the near future. The three found some much-needed peace. Although their journey hadn't involved any major battles, their previous experiences were far more dangerous than ordinary skirmishes. During a break, Su Qing saw the small, black fire crow chick – also female – puffing up its fluffy feathers and wanted to pet it. However, despite its small size, the little fire crow had a feisty personality. It immediately bristled, its black feathers standing on end, and with an aggressive air, it opened its beak as if about to bite. Su Qing could only dejectedly retreat.Seeing that Su Qing had given up, Lu Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief. He knew firsthand the danger of the fire crow's sharp beak; one peck could easily take off a chunk of Su Qing's tender flesh. On the other hand, the little fire crow seemed to have developed a particular fondness for him ever since he had let it drink his blood. Its attitude towards Su Qing was a stark contrast – heaven and earth apart. Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but wonder if this was what people meant by "blood recognition" .

While on the way with Su Qing and Luo Qian, Lu Xia Tian tried to train the little crow. However, to Lu Xia Tian's disappointment, it seemed that besides its sharp beak, there wasn't anything special about it. After several attempts, Lu Xia Tian temporarily gave up. Maybe this little fire crow was still too young, or maybe there really wasn't anything special about it. After all, he had only saved the little creature out of kindness, with no other intentions. Thinking about this, Lu Xia Tian felt relieved.

After nearly half a month, the group arrived at the area between three towering peaks. Seeing a hint of joy on Su Qing's face, Lu Xia Tian knew they were probably not far from where the Golden Condensation Fruit was located.

>

Just then, over ten figures descended from a giant peak one after another. The first one, a crimson-haired youth, wore an air of unrestrained boldness.

“Unexpectedly, someone came at this time. I wonder which esteemed cultivators you are” The red-haired youth let out a hearty laugh, shouting across the distance of thousands of zhang. Though separated by such a vast distance, his words were still clearly audible.

Su Qing, Lu Xiaitian and others' expressions changed instantly. They didn't expect that someone else would come at this juncture. Judging from their appearance, they were probably not here for sightseeing, their intentions were obvious. The group of twelve was led by a red-haired youth. This red-haired youth's identity was probably not simple either. Anyone with a high status would always have some trump cards. Both Su Qing and Luo Qian were like this. If it weren't for the Dan Yuan artifacts bestowed by their elders, with their talents, even if they were stronger than cultivators of the same rank, they wouldn't be able to challenge a Foundation Establishment peak cultivator like now.

"We are just ordinary wandering cultivators, passing through this area. We do not know your sect or lineage. " Su Qing had gone through a lot in the past few years and was no longer a simple noble lady. Under the circumstances of not knowing the other party's background, she would certainly not reveal her family background

"If we were just wandering cultivators, it would be perfect. I'm planning to go to a treasure-hunting location. Perhaps you wouldn't mind joining me If there are any benefits, as long as you're willing to contribute, the rewards will naturally be shared among us."

Though the red-haired youth said so, his eyes were fixed on Su Qing. What he was thinking was naturally self-evident. Luo Qian, who had always admired Su Qing, naturally turned pale with anger.

Lu Xia Tian's complexion wasn't looking too good either, of course, it wasn't because of Su Qing. If he were to act like Luo Qian, acting as a protector for her, with Su Qing's looks, he was probably going to be bothered all day long doing nothing. What worried him was the news about the Golden Condensation Fruit; he was afraid that Su Qing wasn't the only one who knew about it. The more people who knew this information, the fiercer the fighting would become later on. Lu Xia Tian wasn't too afraid of opponents at the Foundation Establishment stage, but Xuan Ye City had many cultivators at the Golden Core stage. Once they got word of this, the Golden Condensation Fruit might not even end up in their hands.

“A few of us ran into a swarm of fire bats and fled all the way here. This place seems relatively safe, Xuan Ye City is not bad. Thank you for your kindness,” Luo Qian said in a deep voice.

"Shut up, our young master didn't ask you."

As soon as Luo Qian spoke, the young man with red hair let out a snort. A fat middle-aged man beside him barked angrily.

"Senior Brother Lu, what should we do" Su Qing realized that these people were not friendly. She whispered to Lu Xia Tian.

"How far is it to the location of the Golden Condensing Fruit" Lu Xia Tian asked in return.

"I'm not too sure myself, I just found it based on my grandfather's description. It shouldn't be too far. At most, a day's journey." Su Qing thought about it for a moment.

Lu XiaTian frowned and said, "Let's not hang out with these guys. Let's go."

What if they keep pestering us

"Go ahead first, if they pursue us, then we fight back." Lu Xia Tian's voice turned cold. In front of the Jin Guo, as long as it wasn't a Jindan stage cultivator who came in person, let alone these people in front of him, there were only two cultivators in the late stages of Zhuji, plus the red-haired youth was not a mediocre person, and the others looked decent as well. Even if there were more enemies, Lu Xia Tian would find a way to eradicate them all.

“Fine, if these people really want to catch up, let's give them a taste of our power.” Luo Qian was very unhappy that he had been treated with such disrespect. Although he knew Lu Xiaotian was his biggest rival, Lu Xiaotian was still a fellow disciple, and his methods were relatively honest. Unlike these people in front of him, who were purely malicious. He used to be one of the top disciples of Lingxiao Palace, so when had he ever been treated like this
