Chapter 3016: The Arrival of Evil

I didn't see anything. Hu Qin, you've been making excuses to shirk work lately. Don't go too far. Otherwise, even your second uncle won't be able to protect you. Blood Lion Ridge doesn't just want sne..."This is the guardian mountain fairy of the Zhao family. She was raised by the Zhao family from a young age and has guarded their family for generations, just like one of their own." Zhao Kuishan introduced to Lu Xiaotiān.

Lu Xiaitian nodded. Since entering the Zhao family's territory, he realized that his previous understanding of Taoyun City's strength seemed too superficial. Just passing through the Zhao family's area, he sensed dozens of auras of varying strengths. This was just a corner of the Zhao family, and there were some areas shrouded by restrictions. Without some means, Lu Xiaitian's divine sense couldn't reach into them.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Given that this was his first visit to the Zhao family and they had a true immortal protecting them, Lu Xiaotian naturally wouldn't be so disrespectful as to wander around their territory at will.

The Zhao family's head, Zhao Qifeng, resided in a valley surrounded by several hills. The surrounding hills had the appearance of a crouching tiger and a coiled dragon. Though not particularly large in scale, a palace within the valley was surprisingly opulent and grand.

Two rows of beautiful maids in light green robes moved in and out with trays carrying various fairy fruits. Their expressions were solemn, looking as if they didn't dare to breathe, even Zhao Quishan who came with them had restrained his breath and looked serious and unsmiling.

Lu Xia Tian's eyes flashed, it seemed like this Zhao Qi Feng wasn't someone easy to get along with.

"Master, the Eastern Saint of Dan has arrived." Entering the palace, Zhao Quishan bowed to Zhao Qifeng, who was seated on a golden tiger chair at the head.

"You may leave." Zhao Qifeng's thin face was cold and hard. He only waved his left hand without much expression. His voice sounded a bit hoarse.

“Yes, Master!” Zhao Quishan bowed and retreated.

Lu Xia Tian frowned and glanced at Zhao Qi Feng, this guy's airs were truly not ordinary. However, this person's cultivation method was different from that of ordinary immortals. Lu Xia Tian sensed a hint of danger from him. As for his origins, he couldn't quite tell.

"I never expected that such a small place as Taoyun City could produce a Pill Saint like Eastern Daoist Friend. It's truly surprising." At this time, only Zhao Qifeng and Lu Xiaoti remained in the main hall. Zhao Qifeng made a gesture of invitation for Lu Xiaoti to sit down.

“It was just luck,” Lu Xia Tian replied. This Zhao Qifeng had a powerful aura, and under the circumstances of not knowing his intentions, Lu Xia Tian directly sat in the position indicated by Zhao Qifeng. In the vast hall, only the two of them were seated, separated by dozens of meters.

Lu Xia Tian didn't speak. The other party invited him here, and he hadn't proactively asked about the other party's intentions. Judging from the situation, this Zhao Qi Feng might not be very friendly towards him. Could it be that during his time refining pills in Ta Yun City, collecting various immortal plants and pill materials, he had already shaken the other party's interests It wouldn't be like that either, as the other party also benefited quite a bit from being in his hands.

“The friend from the East is indeed composed.” Zhao Qifeng’s face showed a hint of surprise.

"Master Zhao invited me here, there must be something he wants to say. Master Zhao isn't in a hurry, and neither am I," Lu Xiaodao said.

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

"You are not from Taoyun City, and you have only recently arrived. I wonder where you come from A humble temple like this cannot accommodate a great figure such as Daoist Dongfang." Zhao Qifeng asked.

"Just an ordinary wandering immortal, adventuring around. Coming to Ta Yun City was purely by accident. Master Zhao surely wouldn't think I have the ability to fly through the air at will, would he"

Lu Xia Tian frowned. Zhao Qi Feng's tone of questioning seemed very peaceful, but to ask like this, the two had just met and directly inquired about each other's background, it was extremely impolite. It seemed that this time Zhao Qi Feng came back, for him, I was afraid he was not a good person. Even if he let him do something, it would definitely not be a good thing.

"Can an ordinary wandering immortal be promoted to a Dan Saint" Zhao Qifeng chuckled unconcernedly, his tone changing abruptly, "Well, since Daoist Dongfang doesn't want to say more, this old man will not ask any further."

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

"This time, I invited fellow Daoist Dongfang here mainly to ask fellow Great Daoist to accompany me on a trip."

"It seems that Head Zhao has already arranged my itinerary. May I ask a couple of questions Where exactly are we going, and how can I be of use"

Lu Xiaoxiao smiled upon hearing this. He wasn't surprised or angry. The world of cultivators was one where the strong preyed on the weak, something he had seen countless times before and wouldn't be seeing for the last time.

“It seems that the Eastern Daoist friend is a smart person, and this old man likes to speak with smart people. The place this old man is going is somewhat remote, after the Eastern Daoist friend goes there, they will know. At that time, the Eastern Daoist friend will need to help this old man refine a furnace of elixir, after it is done, there will be a heavy reward.” Zhao Qifeng was somewhat surprised by Lu Xiaitian’s composure.

"I don't know what kind of pill has such an important effect on Master Zhao. I don't even know the name of the pill. Master Zhao really trusts me." Lu Xiaodao said.

Based on Eastern Daoist Friend's performance in Tower Cloud City over this period, the success rate of refining pills has consistently been around 30%, which is enough to make this old man take a gamble. This old man has already had a friend retrieve the pill recipe, and Eastern Daoist Friend should prepare for a while. When this old man sets off, he will directly take Eastern Daoist Friend away.

Zhao Qifeng didn't consult Lu Xiaoteng's opinion, but directly made a decision on his behalf.

"It seems there's no room for me to refuse. Then I'll go back and prepare. When Zhao Family Head leaves, just have someone send word." Lu Xia Tian nodded in agreement. In a situation where strength is lacking, resisting forcefully would only bring shame upon himself. Let's see what kind of scheme Zhao Qifeng has up his sleeve."

“Very good.” Zhao Qifeng didn’t stay with Lu Xiaoteng for long and let him leave.

“This Eastern Saint of Dan is even more composed than I imagined. Is he truly intelligent, or does he have something else up his sleeve” Just as Lu Xia Tian had left recently, a graceful woman in a blue robe named Xu Suqin walked out from the side hall of the main hall.

"Is there something else he's counting on I suppose we'll see in a while. He probably thinks I'm here with ill intentions. When someone faces an overwhelming crisis, the usual reaction is to submit, call for reinforcements, or run away."

Zhao Qifeng's thin face held a hint of coldness. "If the other party really had a powerful backer, why would they ascend to the rank of Dan Saint in such a remote place like Minghu Ya居 They would have found a way to notify them long ago. Perhaps he just got lucky, obtained some Dan Dao inheritance, and has natural talent."

“Such a talented person, if we could use him for ourselves, our influence would be greatly strengthened. You really intend to take him to that ghost place” Xu Suqin asked.

I can't wait that long, I must advance to the next level as soon as possible, or else when the time comes, I won't be able to suppress the Yin Purple Calamity within my body, and everything will return to dust. Since I've encountered this Eastern Saint of Alchemy, it can only be said that his arrival is ill-timed. He must make some sacrifices for me.
