t you have resolved past grudges and are leaving this Prince's Manor, it will be beneficial for you. Jade is not shaped into a tool without carving. The path of cultivation is like rowing upstream, r...Luo Qian's whereabouts need to be found, but re-entering that secret realm could easily lead him to encounter the three snake demons again. It took him over a decade to recover, and while his strength is back to what it was, his sword array has become more powerful. He has learned the secrets of the sword embryo, but he cannot use it for extended periods.

The Three-Headed Serpent Demon's strength far surpassed his, and it was likely that it recovered faster than him. In his current state, even if he encountered the Three-Headed Serpent Demon again, he would be at a disadvantage. Once the Three-Headed Serpent Demon's Biqiong returned to its peak state as a powerful demon, he might even find it difficult to escape.

After obtaining the Ling Sui Crystal and when his cultivation reaches the tenth level, the Swallowing Soul Art will be able to exert greater power. If he can capture a few more souls of twelfth-order demonic beasts, even if he cannot defeat the three snakes, it would not be impossible for him to protect himself.

At first, when pursuing the woman in palace attire, she was intercepted by the three-headed snake demon Biqing halfway. The woman in palace attire was familiar with the Blood Cauldron Demon Refining Formation and escaped in the direction of Xiangguo and the entrance to the secret realm. Being alone, it wouldn't be easy for her to establish herself within the secret realm. Lu Xia Tian deduced that she had likely returned to the Chiyan Continent, possibly in Xiangguo. However, if she went to other cultivation nations, this possibility could not be completely ruled out.

In short, the most likely candidate is Xiang Guo. Let's find Xiang Guo first and then talk about it.

"Open your mouth!"

Yu Ya didn't think much, opened her mouth, and swallowed a pill. The crisscrossed bloodstains she had scratched on her body immediately began to heal at a visible speed, eventually falling off.

"Rejuvenating Bones Pill!" Yu Ya exclaimed in delight. This Rejuvenating Bones Pill could even reattach severed limbs, and she only had some skin injuries. Taking this pill was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. In just a few breaths, the scars on her body fell off, and her previously alluring form was restored to its original state.

"It seems my life is safe for now. This mysterious master who appeared out of nowhere, although bold in his actions, isn't stingy either. He's far better than that Xiang Changning." Yu Ya secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Put on your clothes.

"Yes, master," Yu Ya nodded, putting on a new set of white dress, her green silk hair styled up in an elegant bun. She once again regained the charming and alluring appearance of a princess.

“How should we handle the changes at the Prince’s Residence” Lu Xiaodao said.

“Xiang Changning went out to seek opportunities. As long as Yuanying didn't perish, his soul tablet wouldn't shatter and no one would investigate this matter.”

The County Princess said, "Xiang Changning sometimes goes out, and even I don't know. When outsiders ask, it's also good to evade. As for the few Jindan cultivators in the County Prince's Mansion, if they die, they will die. It's just a matter of recruiting a few more."

"I give you a few days to handle the disturbances at the Prince's Manor. Besides, call me "Lu Daoyou" when outside."

Lu Xiaoteng nodded. In that case, Xiang Changning's nascent soul indeed couldn't be moved lightly. However, a blood cauldron refining demon formation wouldn't usually move either.

"My oath sworn upon the stars is no small matter, and it cannot be changed lightly. If my master dislikes this, I can call him 'young master' or 'sir' outside." added County Princess Yu Ya.

"Alright, that's settled then." Lu XiaTian nodded. "Take care of the matters at the Prince's Residence, and make sure nothing leaks out. In a few days, we'll go together to find others with the Mo Wei Xing Tu on their bodies."

"Yes, Master," Yu Ya bowed slightly to Lu Xia Tian.

Lu Xia Tian waved his hand, and the azure blue light curtain that enveloped the surroundings vanished without a trace.

“Uncle Huzi, are you alright” As soon as the light curtain disappeared, Yu Xiaqiao stepped forward with concern.

“What could I possibly have to do These past few days, I've just been staying at the Duke's residence as a guest.” Lu Xia Tian shook his head and chuckled wryly.

"Oh, we're not going back" Yu Xiaqiao looked displeased. While the Prince's mansion was good, to her, it wasn't as comfortable as Zui Xian Wine Shop, her own home. Moreover, seeing the fragments of clothing belonging to the Princess Consort on the ground and noticing the obvious change in her clothes, Yu Xiaqiao even felt a sense of alertness. Looking at Princess Consort Yu Ya, her eyes held a hint of hostility.

“Giggle, little sister, just staying at the Prince’s Mansion for a few days, I won't let you be bored.” Yu Ya giggled. How could she, who had been in the world for a long time, not know the thoughts of this little girl, Fish Xiao Qiao

“This way, young master,” said Yu Ya, ignoring Yu Xiaqiao’s gaze and making a gesture of invitation to Lu Xiaotian.

“It’s alright, just handle your own affairs.” Lu Xia Tian nodded, his figure flashing a few times before he arrived on a pleasure boat in the small lake inside the Prince Regent’s Mansion. He sat cross-legged at the spacious bow of the boat, and Yu Xiao Qiao let out a hum, glaring at Yu Ya who was smiling serenely, then leaped down to land on the pleasure boat not far from Lu Xia Tian. While the Prince Regent’s Mansion was pleasant, it wasn't Yu Xiao Qiao’s favorite place.

After a while, Xiang Hua paid his respects to his mother once more and composed himself. He then flew to the pleasure boat and knelt before Lu Xia Tian, but a gust of wind held him back. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get down on one knee.

"Senior, I wonder what conditions I need to meet in order to become your disciple" Xiang Hua looked at Lu Xiaodao with anticipation.

“As I said before, I don’t like taking disciples, and as you’re a wind-element cultivator, I don’t have any good techniques to teach you.” Lu Xia Tian shook his head. “If that’s why you came here, you can leave now.”

"Uncle Hu, Brother Hua is working so hard.."

“None of your business, just sit down and cultivate.” Lu Xia Tian rebuked.

Yu Xiaoqiao stuck out her tongue and made a helpless and adorable expression at Xiang Hua.

“As a junior with mediocre aptitude, I still can't meet the expectations of my senior.” Xiang Hua’s face was filled with bitterness, his hands moving forward to offer a jade slip to Lu Xia Tian. “This contains the remaining martial arts techniques. Thank you, senior, for your care over the years.”

"Are you leaving" Lu Xia Tian asked after receiving the jade slip.

"Senior, your foresight is as keen as ever." Xiang Hua nodded.

"Your talent is quite good, and your mind is calm. Previously, you were troubled by hatred. Now that you have resolved past grudges and are leaving this Prince's Manor, it will be beneficial for you. Jade is not shaped into a tool without carving. The path of cultivation is like rowing upstream, requiring both arduous practice and experience. Neither can be lacking."

"Besides, there are some objects in here, including a wooden doll with a way to use it. You can take it. Since you have already experienced something extraordinary, you must have other gains as well. Whether or not you become my disciple is not important. As long as you have something to hold onto in your heart and something to follow in your actions, you will surely achieve great things in the future." Lu Xia Tian extended his hand, and a storage bag floated before Xiang Hua.

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“Thank you for your guidance,” Xiang Hua nodded, seeming to understand. He bowed his head in thanks.

"Go."

"This junior takes his leave, senior, please take care. Xiao Qiao, please take care as well."

xiang hua left the Junwangfu without looking back, not a shred of reluctance. Returning to the valley where he had always trained with the ox-head giant puppet, a longing appeared in his eyes.

>

“Out of the entire region of Southern Zhao, this valley is the only place worth lingering in.” Xiang Hua's face displayed a lightness never seen at the Prince’s Manor. Even though he was exhausted, sweating profusely each time he trained in this valley, he didn't have to worry about anything else, or the schemes of those so-called siblings at the Prince’s Manor.

Xiang Hua opened the storage bag and was immediately shocked. He counted everything carefully and then looked at where the ox-headed giant puppet had always stood. His eyes were full of admiration. Although the other party hadn't accepted him as a disciple, if someone else had learned from them, would they have achieved such a level

In the storage bag, there is a Huitian Dan that can quickly recover mana for foundation-building cultivators, two wind-system Dan Yuan magic weapons. Two seventh-grade fire system spirit talismans, one eighth-grade water system spirit talisman, and one ninth-grade earth system spirit talisman. A wind-system defensive stone armor, and a pair of wind-walking boots that can increase speed in a short time.

And those two puppet dolls were even more precious, able to be used all the way up to the Golden Core stage, effectively substituting for one life. Such a treasure was incredibly rare even at an auction house.mon, let alone the Heaven-Reaching Demon Lord, that group of demons chasing after them were even more baffling."Doduo, these few fellows in front of us, one is a demon cultivator, and the remaining th...
