se into the air. Having repelled the Jianchi Bear Demon once before, they were aware of the old demon's power but no longer held the same fear as before.“I wonder why you came back after going away” L...After a chaotic battle, Lu XiaTian's magical power had been depleted considerably, but the strength of his physical body had grown steadily in the melee. This way of strengthening himself, since Lu XiaTian first set foot on the path of cultivation, was also incredibly bizarre, as it allowed him to directly absorb the power into his physical body.
It's really inconceivable, but when I think about the level of the dragon and lion, I understand a bit better.
Originally, it only took myself over five years to break through to the seventh level of physical cultivation. Thanks to the Starfall Cave in the Giant Stone Clan's territory, my foundation was built extremely solid, and my progress in physical cultivation was remarkable.
This is a test.
But his strength mostly relies on the accumulation of hard work and time. It is estimated that it will be a long time before his physical body can break through again. However, after refining part of the power left by the Dragon Lion, Lu Xiaoteng felt that he had faintly reached the middle stage of the seventh rank, and was not far from the peak of the seventh rank of his physical body. According to the remaining power of the Dragon Lion in his body, even if he couldn't successfully break through to the ninth rank, reaching the eighth rank would be no problem at all.

Being beaten could actually increase one's cultivation level, this method of improvement was quite unique. Lu Xiaoteng felt a bit speechless. He had a vague worry that the increase in his physical cultivation might be too rapid, and he also wondered if there would be any aftereffects.
If the price is sacrifice, then it's not worth it. In that case, he might as well have swallowed the supreme wood marrow back when he was in the Piao Miao Hall. He could have advanced to the ninth level of body cultivation just the same.
The only reason it's not possible for Lu Xia Tian to expel the power level of Long and Shi from his body is that they are too powerful. With Lu Xia Tian's current cultivation base and strength, he has absolutely no chance at all.
Lu Xia Tian rested his chin in one hand, thinking that the Dragon and Lion must have felt some gratitude towards him for giving them a portion of his power. He hoped there wouldn't be any aftereffects from this exchange.
Under the circumstances where he couldn't be removed, Lu Xia Tian could only think this way at this time. No matter what, in the current situation where crises were everywhere, any increase in strength would be beneficial.
At this rate, reaching the eighth level of physical cultivation is just around the corner. As for his current state, his magical power has reached the late stage of Jindan, and it's impossible to grow any faster.
Any further increase in strength is like taking another step on a pole that's already 100 feet high - a significant achievement, but extremely difficult to attain.
The only thing that was truly regrettable was the Blood Floating Cicada. Thinking about this, the joy of the physical cultivation breakthrough instantly dissipated. Although a boost to one's physical body was valuable, it paled in comparison to the benefits of the Infant Core Fruit.

“The most important thing right now is to try my best to meet up with Yu Dongbao and the others. If I can’t find anyone, I’ll have to go alone to search for the Jieying Fruit.” Lu Xiaoteng sighed. Xue Fuyou was the biggest reliance for Yu Dongbao and the others to find the Jieying Fruit, but Lu Xiaoteng believed they should also have other arrangements, maybe just not as effective as Xue Fuyou.
Several people had been through life and death, it was impossible to place all their hopes on a single blood float dragonfly. Perhaps there were other backup plans as well, but he no longer had the mood to speculate. Lu Xiaoteng patted his storage bag and took out Yu Gui Jia, the one Xue Ling had given him. After injecting mana into it, it could automatically record the path they had taken previously.
Lu Xia Tian originally just wanted to see where he had been, but after seeing the path displayed on Yuan Gui Jia's surface, Lu Xia Tian let out a surprised exclamation.

I soon discovered a strange pattern. Since the blood-carrying water striders led the way, although the journey was arduous, winding and turning, if you didn't pay attention to those details...
While looking at the overall trajectory, one can see that Xue Fuying's path sometimes veers eastward and then corrects itself to veer northward, only to veer eastward again. This repeated process of correction, while seeming erratic, ultimately points directly towards the northeast direction.
Lu Xiaitian's eyes flickered with thought. Logically speaking, Xue Fuyou could easily identify the mark left by its owner decades ago in an ordinary environment. The path ahead appeared winding, perhaps because the aura here was too mixed. There was a heavy presence of demons and ghost qi everywhere.
The Blood Floating Fiend constantly felt the original mark left by its master, wavering back and forth. Although the breath came in gusts, constantly changing direction, the overall direction was very clear.
"It seems the mark that Yu Dongbao left behind is indeed in the northeast direction. Although I don't know the exact location, at least I have a general idea of where to go." Lu Xiaitian's annoyance subsided temporarily.
Without further hesitation, his body sprang from the giant, loose branch. He used the Wind-Walking Technique to advance gracefully across the ground. While flying with a weapon was convenient, it usually made for a larger target and increased the risk of being spotted. Besides, in the air, Lu Xiaotian couldn't effectively conceal his figure.
Lu XiaTian moved forward, watching his path displayed on the Yuan Gui Jia. The wilderness was vast and desolate, filled with bones, withered branches, and various low-level or high-level spirit herbs. The billowing smoke and haze made it easy for even cultivators to lose their way without unique skills or treasures like the Yuan Gui Jia.
Several days later, Lu Xia Tian stood quietly by a wide river. The river was hundreds of meters wide, and compared to the gloomy ghostly air or the biting cold in other places, here, there was a refreshing mist by the riverbank, with one or two white fish leaping from time to time, appearing so peaceful. On both sides of the riverbank, the spiritual energy was abundant. Under several rocks, there were even scattered water spirit stones and earth spirit stones, and even a few high-grade spirit stones.
But if you're dazzled by the surface of this river, then you're terribly mistaken. Beneath the placid waters lie unknown dangers.
Suddenly, a long-necked waterbird swept across the surface of the water. A blue monster fish, with rows of sharp teeth, leaped from the depths and bit down on the bird's neck. The waterbird cried out in alarm and flapped its wings frantically, but it struggled for only a few moments before being dragged underwater. All that remained on the surface was a swirling vortex and a few white feathers.
The river flowed endlessly, and the wind blowing from the mountain stream made the grass and trees on both banks sway like green waves. Lu Xiaoteng was about to rise and fly over the river in front of him. Suddenly, he heard a low, soft moan coming from the dense reeds by the riverbank.
Lu Xiaotian's eyebrows furrowed. He heard a blushing, heart-stopping series of crashes.
“Seeing you usually quite quiet, why are you so anxious now” The woman gasped for breath and said.
“Isn't your body quite alluring” The man’s breath sounded very heavy.
"You used to respect that dead ghost Jin Changdao so much, how dare you touch his Dao companion now."
“For you, I wouldn't hesitate to stand against the whole world, even if it meant facing Jin Changdao. Besides, that arrogant Jin Changdao always acts superior and looks down on others. He has repeatedly ordered me around, but this time I'm determined to vent my anger.”
A burst of giggles came from between the reeds, causing Lu Xiaoteng's eyebrows to furrow. He naturally had no interest in eavesdropping on such matters, but the woman's voice was strangely familiar. It was none other than He Ruxuang! She had entered this ghostly place with him during the Six Ding Yin Xuan formation. Xiaoteng faced increasing pressure. One after another, demon clan artifacts fell, and Lu Xiaoteng blocked most of them, but two snake-head axes still pierced through the obstacles and struck Lu Xiaot...
