While living cultivators...“This,” the head of the Mangxiao clan was somewhat hesitant for a moment. At one time, Lu Xiaoteng rarely revealed his level of alchemy to the outside world. If he spoke out, he worried it would offend the other party. But if this Crazy Zhen really made a move, he would be beaten up, which was unavoidable. It’s impossible for Lu Xiaoteng, this great master, to fight with a big cultivator.

"Brother, you are a great cultivator, while I am merely at the initial stage of Nascent Soul. If you were to use your power as a Great Cultivator against me, I would naturally be no match for you." Lu Xia Tian secretly transmitted his voice to Mang Xiao's patriarch, indicating that he need not worry, then replied to Xiang Kuang.

“Haha, from the tone of your voice, if I only used the strength of a nascent infant stage cultivator, you would be my opponent”

When Xiang Kuang heard the title of Alchemist Master, he was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't take it to heart. In his mind, even an Alchemist Master wouldn't be much help to him. As for how those forces relied on Alchemist Masters, it had nothing to do with him. He didn't need Nascent Soul Pills or any other useless trinkets.

"Mr. Dongfang, you must not use such words to provoke him. This man is extremely warlike, and he doesn't just like to fight people of the same realm. If he's bored, even someone with slightly weaker strength could pique his interest." The head of the Mangxiao family originally thought Lu Xia Tian had a good plan, but upon hearing this, he felt that something was wrong.

"The head of the Mang Xiao family needn't worry, I have my own ideas." Lu Xia Tian secretly transmitted his voice. He didn't expect this mad man to be such a crazy person. Rather than being warlike, he was more like someone with a carefree mind who pursued what he wanted. If he wanted to fight, he would fight. As for the other alchemists, they were nothing in his eyes. This person only cared about things related to cultivation. Lu Xia Tian originally needed a suitable sparring partner to cultivate the Ten Turns Rong Yuan Gong, and this sparring partner's strength couldn't be much worse than his. If he was stronger, it would be even better."

What's even more impressive than his strength compared to other Core Formation cultivators is that he's practically unparalleled among them. However, the difference between him and a Great Cultivator is still significant. Even though he holds the esteemed position of Pill Refining Master and can enlist the help of Great Cultivators for certain tasks, he couldn't possibly get them to spar with him regularly. It's rare to find someone like Xiang Kuang, who is considered an oddball by others. If he could have this person as his sparring partner, it would be ideal.

Especially the reminder from Master Maang Xi just now, Xiang Kuang is not only fond of fighting with people of the same realm, but he doesn't pick on those who are weak in strength.

“If you, brothers, were to use the power of a great cultivator, I would admit defeat. However, if we were both at the same level, it would be quite a match. I rarely encounter opponents of my caliber.” Lu Xia Tian smiled faintly.

"Hahaha...." Xiang Kuang looked up and laughed heartily, the crimson cloak behind him rippling like a chorus of wind chimes. "Good, very good! It's been ages since anyone dared to speak to me like that."

The head of the Mawang family secretly cried out in alarm. Xiang Kuang's original name was Xiang Jingxin, but later, due to his behavior, people privately called him Xiang Kuang. He was quite satisfied with this title, and over time, fewer and fewer people knew his real name. Most of the younger generations only knew him as Xiang Kuang and didn't know his original name. Because Xiang Kuang almost recklessly fought anyone, as long as someone had some unique skills, he would be interested in fighting them. There were many talented people in the world, and there were those with extraordinary talents and amazing abilities. At first, they also resisted Xiang Kuang, but without exception, they fell into Xiang Kuang's hands and were severely beaten several times, making it impossible to stop. In the eyes of the head of the Mawang family, Lu Xiaoteng was at least a master of alchemy. No matter how powerful his cultivation was, he would be on par with those with excellent aptitude, and it would be difficult to last long against Xiang Kuang.

This was in the past; now, Xiang Kuang has reached the esteemed rank of a Great Cultivator. His cultivation among Great Cultivators is also rare and unparalleled. He can reach the threshold of understanding the true meaning of earth. His comprehension and application of spiritual energy are far beyond what a mere Nascent Soul Stage cultivator could compare to. Even if he only uses the power of the Nascent Soul initial stage, Xiang Kuang, as a Great Cultivator, his spiritual energy is almost inexhaustible. In terms of spiritual energy consumption and refinement level, there is no comparison between the two. Comparing with magic artifacts, the headmaster of Mangxiao was even surrounded by six Golden Flame Tiger Ant formations, but they were still no match for the five-colored Jiao Head Staff.

This Grandmaster of Alchemy, while indeed skilled in alchemy, it's his only notable accomplishment. Alchemy is his forte, but to challenge Xiang Kuang, who is almost at the same level and has never lost a duel, isn't this just him finding life too comfortable

"Boy, just for that remark you made earlier, you've got guts. As long as your actions are as tough as your words, then everything after this can be discussed. Of course, if you're just full of hot air, even if you were a master alchemist, if you fall into my Xiang Kuang's hands, you'll be beaten until you cry for your mother." Xiang Kuang grinned, taking a step forward, and in an instant, the air around him crackled with power, the wind and clouds swirling wildly.

“Alright then, let’s have a match.” A terrifying gust of wind surged from the opposite side, whipping Lu Xia Tian’s clothes and making his hair fly wildly in the wind.

Faced with Xiang Kuang's terrifying aura, Lu Xia Tian didn't back down. He took a step forward, as if a sword of qi enveloped him, the tip pointing forward. No matter how violently Xiang Kuang's aura surged, Lu Xia Tian was like this sword of qi, graceful like a feather yet solid as a rock.

"There's some skill to this," Xiang Kuang said with delight instead of alarm. He reached out his hand, and several claw shadows moved strangely toward Lu Xiaoteng.

"Although Kuangxiong is a great cultivator, and although suppressing his realm gives him some advantage, this tactic is just wasting time. It's best to bring out his true abilities sooner rather than later," Lu Xiaottian said. He flicked his sleeves, and several arcs of sword qi flew lightly, slicing through the claws. The two sides intertwined in the air for a moment before disappearing into nothingness.

"Not bad, kid. Your sword intent is quite impressive." Though it was just a tentative exchange, the opponent's casual strike effortlessly nullified his own attack. That alone was enough to make him see the boy in a new light. It seemed this kid was deeper than he appeared. Ordinary methods wouldn't be enough to handle him.

Xiang Kuang pondered for a moment, then with a flick of his left hand, the five-colored Jiao head staff shot out like lightning, striking Lu Xiaotian directly.

This is more interesting. The Five-Colored Dragon Head Staff comes at an extremely fast speed, its speed even hidden above his ethereal flying sword. Moreover, the spiritual materials used to forge this staff are definitely not simple. The Yu mud is a treasure of the earth element, even surpassing his fire element Panqing stone. A single or two flying swords probably wouldn't be a match for the Five-Colored Dragon Head Staff.

Facing this cultivator who was far superior in strength, he dared not be careless in the slightest. The remaining flying swords were sent out one after another, with the tips of their blades falling downwards. In a series of clear chirps of sword intent, the eight flying swords merged into one, and the ethereal sword formation instantly took shape. With his ever-growing understanding of the sword path, Lu Xiaoteng's control over the ethereal sword formation had become increasingly refined. Before even two flying swords could charge out, they were fiercely beaten back by Xiang Kuang's five-colored dragon head staff.
