e. I and Shi Tian, Shu Mei, and a few other Daoist friends are far inferior to the master of Mo Yan Courtyard.”The two-horned rhinoceros laughed, although he and Shi Tian and Shu Mei were still compet...Happy New Year! On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I would like to extend my best wishes to all readers. May you have a prosperous year filled with good health, success in both your career and love life!

The path leading to the Taoist temple is rugged and narrow. From time to time, a strange wind blows over, and those with insufficient cultivation who are not careful may be blown away by this strange wind.

Tao Feng, being a very courteous gentleman, was leading two of his fellow disciples ahead. As they neared this dilapidated Taoist temple, Lu Xiaochai only then noticed that the temple gate's color kept changing – gold, green, blue, red, and ochre yellow – every ten breaths it would shift colors.

"Big Bro Lu, we need to enter this teleportation gate all within ten breaths, or else we won't be sent to the same place." Luo Qing reminded Lu Xiaodao.

Lu Xia Tian nodded, but in his heart he was a little puzzled. Who exactly was this Hun Yuan Dao Ren To be able to pull off such a grand gesture.

"Last time we entered the Water Gate, we ran into Tianlang Sect cultivators. This time, let's try a different one and enter the Fire Gate."

Tao Feng sought the consent of Zong Sheng and Luo Bing, then led them toward the Taoist temple's red gate. The gate resembled a curtain of fire, with nine people passing through one after another.

A shadowy figure darted, and the smell of blood and screams filled the air.

Two factions of seven fought in a chaotic melee, one consisting of cultivators from the Heavenly Dome and the other of wandering cultivators from the Southern Wasteland. The ground was littered with corpses. A jade box flew through the air, shattered by a sword qi. A massive spiritual pressure emanated from the demonic core within. It seemed to have a pair of golden wing shadows spread out, soaring away into the distance. It looked like the demonic core of a golden-ranked flying creature.

“A Golden Tier Eight-Stage Demon Pill!” Including Tao Feng, Zong Sheng, Luo Bing and others, everyone looked in shock at Kong, who had lost control of the demon pill. No wonder it caused a life-or-death struggle between the two factions.

“Haha, this demon pill is ours! Let’s get our hands on it first, and then we can distribute it.” Zong Sheng laughed out loud. He reached out his hand, a powerful force drawing towards Yao Fan, but Zong Sheng's face quickly changed. The seventh-order demon pill's escape force far exceeded his imagination. It even escaped his control, its speed increasing instead.

“Want to snatch the demon pill Dream on!” As Zong Sheng made his move, the cultivators from Nanhuang and Tianqiong unexpectedly ended their battle and dashed towards the demon pill.

"Chase!" Tao Feng and Luo Qing looked at each other, making the same decision. An eighth-order demon pill could be refined into about five drops of dan yuan. Even if it didn't match their attributes, it could be exchanged or sold to other cultivators, earning a fortune in spirit stones that was unimaginable to them. Even if they divided it equally among nine people, each would still gain a considerable amount. With their abilities, it would be impossible for them to kill a seventh-order demon beast even if they worked together. An eighth-order demon pill was something they could only hope for, let alone the fact that there were only six cultivators from another domain in front of them.

Then the demonic pill flew to a lake and was rolled into the water by the waves of the source.

Whether they were cultivators from other realms, or Tao Feng, Lu Xia Tian and the others, none of them were willing to let go easily, after all, what was before their eyes was too precious.

Two waves of cultivators entered the water one after another, chasing the demon pill to the bottom of the lake. When Lu Xia Tian entered the water, he silently used the Melting Water Orb. He had only used this orb once when he escaped the pursuit of the Ancient Sword Sect cultivators after leaving望月城. It allowed him to fight in water without any loss of power, and his perception of aquatic creatures became even clearer.

The seventh-grade demonic pill fell in front of over a dozen crimson, alluring coral. These corals resembled bamboo, growing in sections, the tallest reaching half a zhang tall. Its delicate branches were densely packed with thousands upon thousands of segments. The eighth-grade golden demonic pill landed on the highest branch of this coral.

“A thousand-year-old red coral!” Everyone’s pupils contracted, the remaining ones were also hundreds of years old.

A male cultivator from the Southern Desolate, with a white headcloth adorning his head, was overcome with ecstasy. His figure flashed violently as he reached for the eight-tiered demonic core with one hand, while simultaneously drawing out his long sword, intending to take the crimson bamboo coral as well.

"Be careful!"

"Be careful!"

Lu Xiaoteng's heart skipped a beat. As he reminded Luo Qing, he also received her transmission. Luo Qing turned her head and gave Lu Xiaoteng a sly smile. Although she was covered in white gauze, the smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden. Lu Xiaoteng couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "A parting of three days makes one look different upon reunion." The current Luo Qing was no longer the naive girl she was when they adventured together in the Moonlit Mountain Range. She had become noticeably more shrewd. These red bamboo corals were indeed rare and could be used to refine Red Bamboo Pills. While Red Bamboo Pills themselves couldn't improve one's cultivation, they could increase a Foundation Establishment cultivator's cultivation speed severalfold. Normal cultivators absorbed a limited amount of spiritual energy daily. However, the Red Bamboo Pills refined from these red bamboo corals allowed Foundation Establishment cultivators to absorb several times more spiritual energy each day. If used in conjunction with Hanfeng Pills, Lu Xiaoteng was confident that his cultivation speed would even surpass Yuan Hao's.

In Lu Xia tian's eyes, these red bamboo corals were even more precious than the eighth-order golden spirit pill. Similarly, they were irresistible to other cultivators as well. Red bamboo coral had long since disappeared from the cultivation world, but unexpectedly, he encountered dozens of them in the Hun Yuan Dao Zang.

Just then, Lu Xia Tian also noticed that beneath the fiery red of the Chi Zhu Coral, there were faint traces of monster remains. There were also several broken human skeletons. A few still had remnants of flesh and blood, clearly fallen not long ago. Since someone had already been here, they didn't take away such precious Chi Zhu Coral, but instead perished here. It was evident that a very powerful monster must be hiding near these Chi Zhu Corals.

“Come back! There’s a trap!” Another fellow cultivator from the Southern Desolation seemed to have sensed something was amiss, and hurriedly shouted out a warning to his companions.

The water seemed to ripple with a sudden surge of energy. The young cultivator in white, who had almost reached the Red Bamboo Coral, hadn't even reacted before his body froze abruptly. A scream tore from his throat as dozens of holes appeared on his person, blood gushing out. The young cultivator in white stared vacantly, his life extinguished.

"Damn it, what kind of monster is this" A wave of shock ran through everyone present. The young cultivator in white at the front, though only at the early stage of foundation building, hadn't even had time to react before he died. His death was too strange. With so many people present, no one had noticed where the monster was or how it made its move.

It was Lu Xia Tian himself, his brow furrowed tightly. He hadn't detected any signs of demonic beast activity either. Such an enemy was indeed terrifying to them.

“Not good, retreat!” Lu Xiaotian suddenly thought of a possibility. Since someone had already been here and died, there should be traces of fighting or struggle here, but the current situation didn't seem unusual at all. Apparently, these traces of fighting or struggle had been artificially restored. Ordinary monsters didn't have this kind of thinking. The only explanation was that other cultivators were ambushing nearby.

“Haha, only now you react Isn't it a bit late” A boisterous laugh echoed through the air. A muscular man with powerful energy, bare-chested and adorned with black markings, sat atop a giant blue crab. The man held a scantily clad female cultivator in his arms. Six other cultivators, also bearing black markings on their faces, giving them a rather hideous appearance, surrounded him – four men and two women.

“The Eight Evils of Camel Ridge!” The remaining two cultivators from the Southern Waste saw these eight appear and their expressions immediately turned pale with fear. They then looked at Tao Feng, Zong Sheng and the others, saying, “Although the Eight Evils of Camel Ridge are cultivators from our Southern Waste, they kill indiscriminately. Anyone who falls into their hands will only meet a dead end. The Eight Evils of Camel Ridge may not have high cultivation levels, but with Camel Old One plus Qing Crab leading them, their combat strength is comparable to that of a foundation-building cultivator in the later stages. Although we are opposing forces, only by joining forces can we possibly fight our way out.”

"What a bunch of Humpbacked Eight Demons, acting all mystical and spooky! Kill!" Zong Sheng roared, lightly patting his spirit beast bag. A white light flashed, and a two-zhang tall stone ape roared out, charging straight at the leader of the Humpbacked Eight Demons.

"This fool." Tao Feng cursed inwardly. There were a few cultivators from other realms present. Now that Zong Sheng had attacked, drawing out the most formidable opponent, as a member of the same group, wasn't he going to shoulder the greatest pressure However, despite his complaints, Tao Feng also flashed, his speed no slower than Zong Sheng's. He brandished his azure ruler, which was several feet long. With a swing, dozens of wind blades shot out. But this seemingly powerful azure ruler, in water, was greatly restricted. While the wind blades weren't among the most powerful attacks, their speed was one of the fastest. Now, moving through the water, their speed was significantly hindered, and naturally, they couldn't inflict any real damage on the Eight Evildoers from Nanhuang.

“Are you trying to tickle us” A short, stocky dwarf from the Eight Eccentrics of the Tuo Ridge chuckled, a glint in his eyes as he whipped out a copper-colored whip. Several lashing movements sent dozens of wind blades scattering.

Tao Feng's face flushed with anger. His Xuan Qing ruler trembled in his hand, a powerful gust of wind pushing the water before him aside, as if trying to create a vacuum. The Xuan Qing ruler suddenly expanded dozens of times, its massive shadow descending from above the head of the dwarf in dark robes.

One of the Eight Guides of Tuo Ling, the Xuan Yi Dwarf, was slightly startled. With a flick of his wrist, the bronze whip in his hand suddenly straightened, like a spear, thrusting upwards toward the empty air.

Two powerful blasts collided, creating a thunderous explosion that sent massive waves crashing across the lake. Tao Feng was clearly more powerful, and the man in black robes turned crimson with exertion, struggling to maintain his footing.

Another tall and slender young man, also one of the Eight Eccentrics of Tuo Ling, saw that the dwarf in black was about to collapse. He immediately flew over to help. Just by looking at his speed, it seemed even faster than Tao Feng's.

As Luo Qing was about to make a move, Lu Xia Tian stretched out his hand and summoned a large ice seal. It materialized out of thin air and crashed down from above, targeting the blood-colored dwarf with no warning. Meanwhile, another golden flying knife emerged from the water, its brilliant golden aura intercepting the attack aimed at the tall and slender youth.

The cloaked dwarf, already inferior to Tao Feng in terms of skill, was now struck by Lu Xiaoteng's frigid seal. He instantly lost his ability to fight back, vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood and kneeling before he could even stand.

"Well done." Tao Feng was delighted. Although he had many defenses against Lu Xiaitian, he didn't expect Lu Xiaitian to be so strong. He could stop one person while also providing him with such great help, almost equivalent to two cultivators of the same rank fighting. However, now was not the time to think about these things. The most urgent thing was to break through the blockade of the Eight Evils of Dúgu Ridge. Otherwise, once those elusive monsters came over, they would be in a situation where they were attacked from behind. The green shadow of the ruler was about to smash into the head of the blood-colored dwarf.

"Stop your arrogance!" The burly man sitting on the green crab lunged with his empty hand, pulling out a huge sword that was as big as a zhang, right in front of the green shadow. At the same time, the burly man rubbed out a black chain hammer and it whistled towards the stone monkey offered by Zong Sheng. The stone ape received a blow and was actually knocked back more than ten zhang by the black hammer. Zong Sheng took out a spear that was as long as a zhang and rushed forward urgently. He was also forced back by the burly man's chain hammer.

Although the robed dwarf was no longer under the pressure of Tao Fengqing's ruler, he had already been injured and pressed down by Lu Xiaoteng's Cold Desolation Seal. His body shivered but was knocked open by the bare-chested giant's hand that was holding the ruler.

A brawny man single-handedly held his own against Zong Sheng and a powerful stone ape. Even with Lu Xiaoteng and Tao Feng joining forces, he still seemed to have plenty of room to spare. His strength was clearly that of an average late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, perhaps even surpassing it.

A woman standing on the exposed Qingse Giant Crab throws a thunderball, hitting the Chizhu Coral.

Everyone was shocked and dismayed. Judging by this situation, they were clearly trying to provoke all the demonic beasts inside. At the same time, the exposed woman took out a demonic squid from her spirit beast pouch, which spewed a large amount of dark, viscous liquid. It wanted to blacken the water in front of them at an alarming speed. If the black water covered this area, if Lu Xia Tian and the others rushed out, they would be forced to bump around blindly like headless flies, while the other party could wait on the other side of the black water area.

“Leave quickly!” They were in a very unfavorable situation, with their backs to the enemy. Luo Qing’s willow eyebrows raised, and as her sharp sword left its sheath, the moonlight seemed to pour into the water. Luo Qing gently swung her sword, causing a shimmering light show on the water’s surface. It gave one a sense of mental disorientation.

The robed dwarf screamed, an arm ripped from his body. Had it not been for the other two Humpbacked Eight Eccentrics saving him, he would have been dead by now.

While the squid's black ink was spreading, Tao Feng, Luo Qing, Lu Xia Tian and others successively crossed that area.

“To dare injure someone under my very nose, come and die!” The muscular man leaped from the giant blue crab’s back with surprising agility. His chain hammer whirled through the air, transforming into three hammer shadows that attacked Lu Xiaoteng, Luo Qing, and Tao Feng simultaneously.

And Zong Qing, Jin Yue, Tao Jing and others emerged one after another, replacing Lu Xiaoteng and the others' positions to fight with the other eight eccentric masters of Tuo Ling. They surged out of the Black Water area.

“Moonlight Lotus!” Luo Qing roared, his long sword flying out. It caused ripples in the water, and with that ancient sword as its center, a wave of energy pulsed outward, resembling petals of moonlight lotus blooming. However, these energy petals concealed terrifying killing intent, crashing against the black chain hammer. They carved deep scratches on the hammer’s surface. The formidable chain hammer's momentum was shattered in an instant by the barrage of scratches.

(San Qi Chinese) Xianzi, whose spirit had almost calmed down, opened her water-like big eyes. She didn't expect that the fairy sound would appear on Lu Xiaoteng's body again at this time, and it was even more agile t...
