Those azure-grey vines that had been lying dormant on the ground seemed to be stimulated by something, and they suddenly surged forward. The winding azure-grey vines rapidly rushed towards Su Qing, L...Far away, several young bachelors and a few unmarried daughters from prominent families rode swords through the air or rode their spirit beasts into Marquis Hou's mansion, all flying towards the lotus pond. The entire city of Wusheng knew that the red maple lotus pond in Marquis Weishi's mansion was famous far and wide. Only this family had it, and because the eldest son of Marquis Weishi and a few others were very hospitable, they would invite people over every few days.
In the Crimson Abyss Continent, after Emperor Qinling of the Divine Dynasty established the era of Immortal Ascension, cultivators and ordinary people lived together, and cultivators also developed some hobbies of ordinary people, such as drinking wine, writing poems, playing music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Many cultivators integrated their cultivation methods with these arts, creating many unique immortal schools. In addition, the spiritual energy in the Crimson Abyss Continent was even more abundant than that in the Blue Demon Sea Territory, making the cultivation environment here quite special. At least, the daily life of cultivators was closer to that of ordinary people.

Originally, Lu Xiaoteng felt that wasting time like this, indulging in the mundane hobbies of ordinary people, would affect his cultivation. However, according to Lu Xiaoteng's observations, the people on Chiyan Continent might not have a significant advantage over those in the Lanmo Sea Region or even the Wangyue Immortal Cultivation World during the Qi Refining and Foundation Building periods. But it seemed that the proportion of Golden Core cultivators was higher, and they were generally younger than those Lu Xiaoteng had been to before, and their realms were very stable.
Besides the rich spiritual energy of the Chi Yan Continent, this way of life where cultivators and mortals live together likely plays a significant role. Cultivators value both worldly engagement and detachment from it. In the past, all cultivating sects in the望月 Cultivation World had disciples build foundations who would be tasked with going out into the world to observe people's lives and the realities of daily existence. However, this type of task was different from that on the Chi Yan Continent. Cultivators' lives intertwined with those of mortals, their lifestyles even resembling ordinary people's in many ways, except for their greater capabilities.
Moreover, cultivators have a lifespan far longer than ordinary mortals. During the Foundation Establishment stage, they are already accustomed to birth, aging, illness, and death, as well as the fickleness of human nature. Their state of mind becomes much more solid under such experiences. A strong foundation laid in the early stages naturally leads to greater momentum in cultivation later on.

Lu Xiaotien glanced at the Cao Wei and Cao Bao brothers thoughtfully, his heart filled with mixed feelings. However, he didn't think this approach was suitable for himself. He had limited talent and couldn't afford to waste any time. Only by putting in ten or even a hundred times more effort than others could he keep up with them. If it weren't for him fighting his way to the present, constantly entering perilous situations and battling cultivators far superior to him, he wouldn't have gathered enough spiritual objects to reach his current level.
Every person's path is different, even if I was born in the Chiyan Continent, the result probably wouldn't be much better. Lu Xia Tian sighed with emotion, taking advantage of Cao Wei greeting his friends, he moved his heels slightly, and his body drifted several feet away, heading towards the abandoned dry well.
More than half a year passed, and Cao Kun's suspicions towards him had almost disappeared. Moreover, Cao Kun was a straightforward and honest person, without too much darkness in his nature. Since his body was injured and his cultivation dropped from the Golden Core mid-stage to the current Foundation Establishment late stage, he became even less enthusiastic about cultivating. Cao Kun didn't expect to fully recover from his injuries. Every few days, he would come to Lu Xiaotiān's place for a drink and chat with him leisurely. In the entire Zhenwei Houfu, ordinary servants were somewhat afraid of Cao Kun, but Lu Xiaotiān wasn't here to do menial work. He didn't have that fear, and the two got along quite well. Through Cao Kun, Lu Xiaotiān also learned a lot about the Chiyan Continent. Some time ago, Lu Xiaotiān told Cao Kun the brewing methods for several bamboo beers. Cao Kun then went to arrange it himself and hasn't come over for a while.
At Cao Kun's greeting, they approached the remote area behind the mountain. These places were usually inhabited by servants or guards of the Hou Mansion. No one dared to interfere with Lu XiaTian, who had been specifically greeted by Cao Kun.
Lu Xia Tian arrived at the abandoned dry well with ease. Several fire-type vines grew along the edge of the well, some even bearing poisonous thorns. However, these vines posed no threat to Lu Xia Tian whatsoever.
Lu Xiaoteng's figure moved, leaping into the well, and at the same time stuffed a Hanlu Dan into his mouth to dissolve the fire poison. Although he hadn't stepped into this abandoned dry well for half a year, he had made corresponding preparations.
A mix of fire spirit energy and earth inferno poison filled the air, a wave of heat pricking the skin with a slight burning sensation.
The medicinal power of the Cold Dew Pill slowly unfolded in his body, and the heat within him instantly dissipated. Lu Xia Tian quickened his pace, moving at high speed through the well. He headed only towards places where the heat was astonishingly intense.
The passage in the well still contained a good amount of fire-type ore, and there were some mid-grade Fire Spirit Stones that hadn't been fully mined. It seemed like this place used to be a Fire Spirit Stone vein. No wonder the Cao family had occupied this place; it made sense now.

"Eh" After walking for a while longer, Lu Xia Tian saw ten silver needles floating in a spacious area. They were as thick as an arm, about a foot long, and engraved with numerous archaic patterns on their surfaces.

"Flaming Spirit Array!" Lu Xia Tian could feel a large amount of Earth Inferno Fire Poison, and Earth Moon Gang Sha surging from the other side of the array, but they were all blocked by this Flaming Spirit Array. They couldn't break through.
"I originally thought that the fire-type vines had absorbed the Earth Inferno Poison from this place, preventing it from spreading. I didn't expect there to be another world within the well." Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but show a look of surprise. This fire spirit formation was a barrier, just like a stone blocking the flood on the other side. Once the formation was destroyed, it would be equivalent to removing the stone. Anyone who broke the formation would be swallowed by the Earth Inferno Poison and the Earth Moon Gang Sha at the first time. Even a Golden Core cultivator wouldn't have time to escape. People capable of diving deep into the well for hundreds of miles were at least Golden Core cultivators. With this kind of vision, it's understandable that the Marquis Mansion wouldn't send anyone to guard such an important place."
"Fire Sealing Spirit Array!" Lu Xia Tian moved, entering the array. This Fire Sealing Spirit Array was extremely sturdy and durable, but he was somewhat familiar with it, so he didn't need to spend too much time deciphering its formation.
As soon as Lu Xia Tian entered the formation, he felt a surge of intense heat wash over him. Before he could react, his forehead was already covered in a layer of sweat.
“Such formidable fire poison, such formidable Earth-Moon Gangsha.” Entering the Sealed Fire Spirit Formation, Lu Xia Tian saw that beneath his feet, lava flowed everywhere, and there was almost condensed, tangible earth inferno poison. If he hadn't taken the Cold Dew Pill beforehand, he probably wouldn't have been able to stay in this formation for a moment.

Within the magma, fiery crimson energy akin to molten gold flowed. It danced and leaped with the churning lava, faintly resembling a crescent moon shape—a beautiful sight indeed. However, mistaking this energy for mere spectacle would be a grave error. This is Earth-Moon Gangsha, a malevolent force. Any creature venturing near will invite its wrathful attack.
Lu Xia Tian hovered in the air, with a wave of his hand, four thick trunks of silver-leaf bodhi trees, stripped of their leaves, were plunged into the magma.y excessive defenses, only in a hurry, with a thought, he activated the Ruyi Battle Armor, a silver armor flashed, appearing on Lu Xiaoteng's back like divine help. It was the Ruyi Battle Armor he had...
