ing the Lu brothers to see how things are. If the Lu brothers aren't averse, follow Cao back to Hou Mansion. It didn't matter before since I didn't know, but now that I know of your identities, I natu..."It's truly a stroke of luck, your luck and the luck of my clan. Many years ago, I went to the Voidwind Valley and found some interesting things. The valley contains what my Stone Clan needs, as well as the Yin-Engaging Fruit that interests you. In half a year, I will set off again. If you're interested, you can join me then. However, this journey is quite dangerous, so consider carefully."

"Besides, the things that the Dragon and Lion gave you need to be continuously stimulated through battles. You don't have anything else to do here anyway. Why not follow me, the sons of the Giant Stone clan, out to fight the Ghost Clan army outside the city On one hand, it can further improve your strength, and on the other hand, if you achieve enough military merit, maybe when we reach the Mingfeng Gorge, I'll help you more."

Tuobachi Xiaoxiao retracted the worried expression on his face and suddenly smiled.

"Binding Infant Fruit" Lu Xia Tian narrowed his eyes.

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

“Right, you outsiders came for these things, didn't you Our Clan of Giants cultivates differently from you and requires different spiritual objects.”

Although the Infant Soul Fruit is precious, it's not very useful to us. There's a secret realm inside the Netherwind Canyon. Several ancient cultivators fought a great battle with the ghost clan there in the past. It remained sealed until recently when the spatial node here loosened, gradually revealing itself to the world. If you're lucky enough, you might even find Infant Soul Pills directly, not just the fruit.

Tuo Bat Chongxiao nodded and said.

“Since even senior masters like this are here, wouldn't it be too dangerous for someone with my lowly cultivation to appear” Lu Xia Tian said hesitantly.

"Well, last time I thought I had it in the bag, but that Netherwind Canyon was too treacherous. Some things were even beyond my capability, and Ghost Tribe experts have started appearing there. Perhaps there are other masters as well. But what you're looking for is different from what we need. It could be dangerous, or you might get lucky and find something good. Whether or not you go depends on you. But our Stone Clan will definitely send some level nine warriors there."

"Tuoba Chongxiao spoke calmly, "You are the one who can subdue the Dragon and Lion and make them willing to follow you. I believe you wouldn't even lack the courage for this, would you"

>

“Since the ninth-rank warriors of the noble class can go, this junior naturally can as well.” Hearing this, Lu Xia Tian directly agreed.

"Haha, good. But before that, you better earn as many military exploits as possible, including your few friends who came with you. If you're willing to put in the effort, I'll do my best to help you out when it comes to the matter of the Jiying fruit. Well, I have some other things to attend to. You go and think about it carefully." Tuo Ba Chongxiao smiled.

"This junior will take his leave." Lu Xia Tian nodded. Since Tuo Bai Chong Xiao had spoken to this extent, if he refused to fight, the situation afterward wouldn't be too good either.

After leaving the tent, Lu Xia Tian went directly to look for Yu Dong Bao, Huo Ying, and Shao Zi Xia. However, to his surprise, he couldn't find the three of them. He asked someone and learned that the three had left the city to join the army fighting against the ghost cultivators.

>

Startled, Lu Xia Tian inquired a bit and learned that the three had exchanged many good things with the Giant Stone Clan using merit points earned after slaying demons. The Giant Stone Clan's cultivation method is quite unique, and the spiritual materials they need are vastly different from those of ordinary cultivators.

It's true that some spirits are useless, but the Giant Stone Clan is not without powerful figures like Tuo Ba Chongxiao. The Giant Stone Clan has a long history far exceeding ordinary people's expectations, naturally accumulating quite a few good things. However, Lu Xiaoteng quickly reacted, realizing that there were Ghost Army forces everywhere outside. As they all came from cultivating families, perhaps their priority was to find a safe way out and continue searching for the legendary Nascent Soul Fruit.

Lu Xia Tian returned from the three people's residence and left the city directly. Regardless of how much Tuoba Chongxiao knew about the matter of Jie Yingguo, he decided to leave the city to test it out. At least the power that Longshi left in his body needed to be refined as soon as possible. The path of cultivation was too unpredictable, and the only thing that could give him a sense of security was his own strength.

Many Giant Stone warriors have entered and exited the small city to fight against the Ghost Tribe. There are quite a few High-Level Nascent Soul experts in the Giant Stone Clan (above 10th level). When the Ghost Tribe launches a large-scale offensive, the Giant Stone Clan will also make some arrangements in response. Giant Stone warriors who leave the city usually travel in groups of three or five. Occasionally, extremely powerful 9th-level warriors will venture out alone. Even though Lu Xiaotian was alone, he didn't attract much attention amidst the tense war situation.

Beyond the small town, it was once a lush and vibrant place, with trees providing shade and green grass teeming with birdsong. One could often catch glimpses of monsters and mythical creatures. However, now all that remains are scattered, abandoned skeletons and broken limbs. It is a desolate scene of carnage left after a great battle.

Lu Xia Tian did not fly with his sword this time. His purpose for leaving the city was mainly to refine the power of the Dragon and Lion that remained within him. At this time, he had just broken through to the late stage of Jindan not long ago, and his realm needed to be consolidated. As for his cultivation of法力 (Fa Li), there wouldn't be a significant improvement for now.

Lu Xia Tian landed with one foot, stepping on the fractured bone of the ground. A wisp of black death qi emerged from the broken bones, assaulting Lu Xia Tian.

Even a lowly, inferior ghost dared to be insolent. Lu Xia Tian wasn't even bothered to glance at it, his aura flashed and disappeared. The black death qi that the ghost was made of shrieked as it came into contact with a sliver of Lu Xia Tian's internal power, scattering its soul and spirit.

The Ghost Race also comes in many varieties, including formless Yin Souls and lower-ranking ordinary skeletons. There are also higher-ranking skeletons with spiritual roots and ghosts that have transformed from Ghost Cultivators. There are also corpses imbued with consciousness, and so on. These are all collectively referred to as the Ghost Race by cultivators. Like human cultivators, some members of the Ghost Race are physically strong, while others, such as those Yin Soul-type ghosts, are more adept at possessing and controlling the bodies of humans or consuming the souls of cultivators to grow stronger.

Such low-level specters, under the right conditions, are very easy to form in extremely yin environments. They are endless and can be killed easily, but they are the best scouts for the ghost clan. Lu Xiaoteng's face was slightly gloomy as he scanned his surroundings and discovered that on the distant undulating hills, there were patches of Gu Huncao growing. For these low-level specters, it was a great tonic. He hadn't noticed it before.

Lu XiaTian moved his feet, and his body shot forward like a drawn arrow, quickly leaving the area around Mount Gan. These low-level Yin spirits couldn't even get close to him, but being constantly watched by the Ghost Clan wasn't a good thing.

Squeak... squeak....

The low-grade ghosts clinging to the guhun grass all around were startled.

"You spineless lot, when something happens you only know how to cry and fuss, disturbing this general's good dream. If it weren't for your leader's reckless challenge to the Stone Clan's ninth-level peak expert who ended up seriously injured, requiring me, a mighty general like myself, to look after you rabble, I wouldn't even bother with your lives or deaths." At this time, a skeletal figure two zhang tall, with a wolf head and legs, yawned, brandishing a black rough stone axe. It stepped towards them atop a cloud of darkness.o had lived for nearly a thousand years and seen countless things, couldn't help but feel dejected.Being already irritated and agitated, Chen Heyuan could not bother with his tone.
