Hmm" Lu Xia Tian suddenly felt a change in his internal energy, even a sense of bursting. Lu Xia Tian's face changed, this feeling hadn't been around for a long time, it was the same feeling he had o..."Found it, found it! You had me running all over the place."

Perhaps there were too few capable individuals who didn't require specific attributes. After a long while, the clerk patted a dusty book with an ancient-looking cover and exclaimed with surprise.

“Oh Really found it” Lu Xia Tian’s face also flashed a hint of joy, two steps forward, took the scroll into his hands and looked at it, sure enough, it was the Hun Yuan Jing.

After such a long time, I finally found it. To be able to get a Qi Refining Stage cultivation technique at this time was truly unexpected. Lu Xia Tian opened the first page and asked, “Does your firm have any foundation-building stage cultivation techniques”

>

"The Immortal is jesting. In all of Moonlit City, there are probably only a few foundation-building cultivation techniques, and those are usually not shared outside the sect. Naturally, we don't have any here either. However, a few years ago, about three years to be exact, there were some rumors circulating about the Profound Void Scripture." The attendant said in a low voice, as if sharing a secret.

Lu Xia Tian was startled and said, "The rumors about the Hun Yuan Jing Is it about the sequel to this skill"

"Yes, I heard it has something to do with Lingxiao Palace. At that time, a few disciples of Lingxiao Palace coincidentally broke into the ruins of an ancient cultivator and obtained some treasures. However, before they could return to their sect, they were ambushed and killed by several powerful wandering cultivators. Those wandering cultivators snatched away some of the treasures, including a portion of the cultivation techniques."

A few wandering cultivators His cultivation method was given by the black-robed old man, could it be that the black-robed old man and his companions were these few wandering cultivators Lu Xiaottian's heart moved. Beiliang Kingdom was a rather impoverished and remote secular country with limited spiritual creatures. Although there were many immortal cultivating families living in Beiliang Kingdom, most of them were at the early stage of Qi refining, and there should not be many at the middle stage of Qi refining. The black-robed old man and his companions were almost all at the late stage of Qi refining, or even nearing the peak. If they weren't avoiding the pursuit of Lingxiao Palace, how could they go to such a remote place

The fellow continued, "Later, the disciples of Lingxiao Palace went out to hunt down these several cultivators. They soon lost their trail. Perhaps the other parts of the Xuan Yuan Sutra were in the hands of those cultivators, or perhaps they were with Lingxiao Palace. As for the specifics, outsiders don't know. Years have passed, and this matter was almost forgotten. If it weren't for Immortal Master coming to buy this skill today, I almost forgot about it myself."

“Thank you, this is for you.” Lu Xia Tian paid the spirit stones required for the cultivation technique and directly gave the shop assistant a lower-grade spirit stone.

“Thank you, thank you, Immortal.” The shopkeeper was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly. Although he was around thirty years old, he was an ordinary person. Most cultivators didn't pay him any mind, let alone such a generous reward. His boss wouldn't even give him spirit stones. This lower-grade spirit stone would be enough for him to live a comfortable life for the rest of his days. When he straightened up, Lu Xiaoteng had already left the shop.

“It seems I have to find a way to open the storage bag of that old man in black. However, these people probably stole the treasures of Lingxiao Palace. If the news gets out, they will likely face dire consequences very soon.”

Lu Xiaotien walked and pondered, and soon arrived at Xianmen Street according to the map of Wangyue City. The rumors about scattered cultivators on Xianmen Street were not called that before, but major immortal gates had set up points here to publish tasks for recruiting disciples. Over time, everyone got used to this name.

When the Immortal Sect holds its annual disciple recruitment, lasting only a few months, cultivators from all over gather in Moon Viewing City. At this time, there are thousands of people at each sect's designated reception point, buzzing with discussions about the published tasks.

Lu Xia Tian also squeezed to the front of the Immortal Ranking Task stele. The conditions for each major immortal sect to recruit disciples were different.

Topping the list is the Ancient Sword Sect, the number one sect in the cultivation world. They excel at refining artifacts, from spiritual tools to foundation establishment period magic weapons. The level of these artifacts directly relates to a cultivator's strength. Therefore, cultivators from the Ancient Sword Sect often possess superior combat power compared to those from other immortal gates.

The requirements of the Gujian Sect were the most stringent, demanding a fourth-order demonic beast's demon pill, equivalent to the power of a cultivator at the early stage of foundation building. For cultivators in the Qi refining period, this was undoubtedly as difficult as ascending to heaven. Just imagine that even wandering cultivators who had strained their brains to join immortal sects sought out the Foundation Building Pill. Even hundreds of peak Qi Refining cultivators would find it difficult to threaten a high-level Foundation Building cultivator. This essentially excluded most mediocre wandering cultivators.

Second is the Qingdangu, ranking second. Alchemy is its foundation. Because elixirs are relatively more abundant compared to other sects, cultivators tend to improve their cultivation faster, making the sect's overall strength extremely powerful.

The requirements for the Qingdan Gate are also high. They require at least fifty kinds of spirit herbs to be collected. For advanced alchemists, they can reduce it by half, and for intermediate alchemists, they can reduce it by one-fifth.

Alchemists are already rare in the Xian world, Lu Xia Tian estimates that he is currently at the intermediate alchemist level. It will take some time to reach the advanced alchemist level.

Besides the top-ranked immortal sects, the requirements for those further down the list are slightly lower, but completing the tasks is still by no means easy.

There are also some schools with particularly special requirements. For example, the Moyang Sect only requires a spiritual root value of over thirty-five, but males must be handsome and females must be beautiful. The age limit is under twenty.

Alternatively, the Earth Fire Sect's recruitment mission states that one of their three Elders has contracted a strange illness and has been in an ice coffin, unconscious for years. Anyone who can cure them or provide information about this disease can join the sect.

Lu Xiaitian smiled, even the immortal sects were helpless against such a severe illness, how could these scattered cultivators possibly have a way It was truly like treating an illness with random remedies. A headmaster, at least a cultivator of the Qi-building stage, it seemed that even reaching higher realms wasn't without worry.

Lu Xia Tian focused on the sect missions of Lingxiao Palace again. They were also related to collecting herbs, but they differed significantly from the herbs required by Qingdan Palace. Moreover, there were a few types of ore added to the list as well. Lingxiao Palace ranked 17th among all Xianmen, placing it in the upper-middle tier, and possessed considerable power.

After comparing various immortal sects, Lu Xia Tian set his sights on Qingdan Palace and Lingxiao Palace. Qingdan Palace specializes in alchemy, so entering Qingdan Palace increases the chances of obtaining a Qi-Foundation Pill.

While Lingxiao Palace could also refine pills, it wasn't as skilled as Qingdan Palace, so the possibility of obtaining Zhuji Dan was naturally lower. The biggest goal at this time was to successfully establish a foundation. However, Lingxiao Palace had information about the Hun Yuan Jing, and there weren't many exercises suitable for the Five Elements Spiritual Roots. If he could obtain the Hun Yuan Jing, he didn't want to easily switch to other exercises.

Lu Xia Tian shook his head and smiled wryly. Completing any Xianmen mission was no easy feat, let alone two at the same time. If other lone cultivators knew his thoughts, they would probably laugh their heads off. He'd just have to wait for fate and see which sect he could join in the future.

After preliminarily locking down the Xianmen mission, Lu Xia Tian had bought most of what he needed. As he returned to his courtyard, he found Luo Qing already waiting at the entrance. Judging by her expression, she had likely been waiting for quite some time.

“Brother Lu, you’re back.” Seeing Lu Xiaoteng, Luo Qing's anxious face instantly showed a hint of joy.

"What's the rush What's up" Lu Xia Tian asked.

Luo Qing said, "The other cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refinement in our team is the captain of this expedition. He decided to enter the Moonlit Mountains ahead of schedule. My brother can't make up his mind right now, so he asked me to ask you."

"Didn't we agree on a time Why did it start early" Lu Xia Tian frowned. If this squad was entirely under the captain's word, then maybe it wasn't worth joining at all.

>

Luo Qing said, "Perhaps he got news related to the mission of his immortal sect and was worried that others would get there first, so he made this decision. However, that person has the formula for Yuanqi Pills in his hands, so my brother asked me to ask your opinion."

Lu Xia Tian's expression shifted as he asked, "Yuandan Where are they now"

"Just in our courtyard, I'll take you there now." Seeing Lu Xiaotien agree, Luo Qing let out a breath.

"Big brother, I'm back." Soon, the two arrived at Luo Yuan's courtyard. From a distance of several dozen feet, Luo Qing shouted loudly.

"Lu brother, you're here too, come, let me introduce you to the team members."

Luo Yuan saw Lu Xiaoxian arrive and was overjoyed. He pointed to a middle-aged Taoist priest with a fair complexion, "This is our leader this time, Fan Qing Daochang. He's the strongest among us."

Through Luo Yuan's introduction, Lu Xia Tian got to know the members of the squad.

A plump woman named Wang Yuan, who was at the same cultivation level as him and had reached the fifth layer of Qi refining.

>

Two men in their forties, with glistening hair and faces, stood together. One was Zhang Guang, bald as an egg, while the other, a middle-aged scholar beside him holding a fan, was Zheng Shiqi. According to Luo Yuan's introduction, Zhang Guang was a general from the secular world of Jin Guo, who once commanded thousands of troops. Even from afar, one could sense the air of ruthlessness around him. Zheng Shiqi had formerly been Zhang Guang's military advisor. It was truly remarkable that both of them were able to enter the path of immortality. Their cultivation level was slightly lower than Luo Yuan's, at the fourth level of Qi refinement. The three lived in this courtyard and got along well.

“Haha, I've long heard from Brother Luo that you know a very skilled alchemist. He is said to be reclusive and hard to meet. I never expected him to be such a young man! Not only is he an alchemist, but his cultivation level is even one level higher than mine, Old Zhang. I have no idea how you achieved this.”

Zhang Guang was extremely generous and hearty. His thick palm slapped onto Lu Xiaoteng's shoulder, his fingers like iron hooks. The pain made Lu Xiaoteng grimace.

"Zhang brother, you need to be a bit more careful with your strength," Zheng Shichi reminded him. Zhang Guang had always been straightforward and hot-tempered in the mortal realm, which offended many people in the officialdom. If it weren't for Zheng Shichi reminding him, and later his entry into the immortal path, he would have probably died in the treacherous official circles long ago.

“Sorry, sorry. I used to practice Iron Sand Palm, so my strength is a bit too strong.” Zhang Guang smiled apologetically and quickly said.

“It's more than just a bit older, even if I tried harder my bones would break.” Lu Xia Tian gritted his teeth and rubbed his shoulders. Although he was already at the fifth level of Qi Refinement, his physical strength was far inferior to Zhang Guang, who had previously practiced external skills.

>st.The whole process repeated itself. Lu Xiaotian felt his movements within the Zhenyao Tower were much more fluid than before. In contrast, Lin Wei was already covered in wounds. Although Lu Xiaotian...
