n with a relaxed and composed expression, holding the wine jug in his hand. He wore a look of examination on his face.Even the finest qingzhu brew made from Tianhe bamboo should not compare to this ce...Overestimating his abilities, Lu Xia Tian raised an eyebrow and with a flick of his left hand, a golden light flashed. Wherever the golden light passed, it seemed even the lake water would be cleaved apart, like cutting through water with a blade.

The one he was most familiar with, naturally, was the blazing inferno sword. It was also used more often. But the situation in this Blackwater Lake was somewhat strange. Using a fire-based magic weapon would inevitably weaken its power. The strength of these twins before him wasn't weak. Without hesitation, Lu Xiaoteng directly used his Earth Splitting Blade. The Earth Splitting Blade was originally a top-grade gold-type magic weapon. Later, in the Xuan Yuan Dao Zang, Lu Xiaoteng obtained a gold-type Dan Yuan and refined it into a gold-type Dan Yuan magic weapon. Its sharpness had already surpassed that of the Blazing Inferno Sword. However, after being refined, it had never been used before.

“A golden artifact, the Jindan Sword!” As soon as the Leifeng Dao was drawn, the surrounding waters were enveloped by its razor-sharp aura. The twin brothers' faces turned pale with fright.

Even the more distant monsters felt this powerful aura and became restless, swimming further away as if this sudden blade-like energy could strike them down at any moment, tearing their fragile bodies apart.

The earth split under the brilliant blade light, a golden shadow trailing behind. A flash of gold, and the combined strike of the twin brothers' twin blades was crushed without hesitation.

>

“Big brother!” one of them cried out in anger, only to discover that their elder brother had a bowl-sized wound on his chest. Blood gushed out from the gaping hole, sharp blade energy piercing through the wound and into his entire body. By the time he managed to scream, the blade energy had already severed his life force.

The younger twin, after his rage subsided, didn't hesitate for a moment. He turned and fled, even though there were countless terrifying monsters in the water ahead. At least he could hold his own against them. Facing the unfamiliar young man they had just offended, even with both brothers combined, they wouldn't stand a chance, not even a sliver of resistance. The younger twin ran as fast as he could, his speed pushed to its absolute limit. In the blink of an eye, he vanished without a trace.

Lu Xia Tian let out a cold snort, seeing the three venomous jellyfish in the distance surround the man once again. He didn't bother to move, letting the other party die at the hands of the jellyfish was fine with him.

"Dao You's formidable skills are such that even without me, he could remain calm amidst this lake." Only when the younger twin fled far away did the girl recover from her shock and speak.

"Indeed, with that flying knife, he could simply kill gods and Buddhas. " The bald strongman also revealed an envious expression at this time. If he also had a Dan Yuan artifact, how good it would be.

Lu Xia Tian took a deep breath, calming his somewhat annoyed mood.

On the bank, demonic beasts were still occasionally driven mad by the Black Beetles and leaped into the water. A large number of them were hunted down in the water by the aquatic demonic beasts. The nearby lake was stained red with blood, and occasionally, cultivators would frantically escape, only to meet a tragic end.

After staying in the water for nearly two hours, the girl's scent had weakened considerably. Not far away, several black crocodiles, each as large as nearly ten meters, emitted a menacing aura as they swam erratically around them, getting closer and closer to the girl and Lu Xiaoteng and the others. If it weren't for the faint scent still lingering on the girl's body, these black crocodiles, and even more predatory creatures lurking deeper in the water, would have already pounced.

However, luckily, the black beetles on the lakeshore had gradually dispersed and their numbers were significantly reduced. The group was careful not to go ashore as they knew it could cause them to return. They waited patiently in the water. After a short while, with everyone's hopeful gaze, most of the black beetles had retreated, leaving only a few hundred stragglers. Everyone felt a surge of relief and finally returned to shore. As they came ashore, they glanced nervously at the lake. If they had delayed any longer, those demonic beasts in the water would have likely swarmed them. It was truly a close call.

Emerging from the lake, the girl's face flushed red. She hurried to hide behind a large tree. Lu Xiaoteng glanced at her. Although her appearance was slightly ordinary, her figure was indeed rare and unique.

"It was truly a close call, I'm so grateful to you for your help earlier. My name is Xue Ling, what is your name"A moment later, the young girl emerged from behind the tree again, her clothes were unchanged. As a Qi Refining cultivator, it was easy to dry them with magic power.

"Indeed, we are much indebted to this fellow daoist. My nephew and I have benefited greatly from his kindness." The gaunt elder also nodded repeatedly.

"Lu Yi," Lu Xiaotien casually gave his name, then asked, "Judging by Xue Daoist's appearance, you seem quite familiar with this Mist-Shrouded Forbidden Land. I wonder if you know the way out"

“Leaving the Mist Forest is not difficult, I can tell Lu Dao you the method, but the Mist Forest is very strange, the things inside are not always the same. Even for those who are quite familiar with this place, it takes at least eight or ten days, or even several months to get out. For unfamiliar people, knowing the method may take even longer.” Xue Ling said apologetically, “The reason I can move freely in the Mist Forest is related to a treasure on my body, but I have a senior sister who was poisoned and needs to find some herbs in the Mist Forest. It’s very urgent. Otherwise, I could personally lead you, Lu Dao, out of the Mist Forest.”

"As Daoist Xue said, what he said is not wrong. I have heard from several friends who have been in and out of the Misty Forbidden Land that it's nothing special. So I foolishly ventured in. It has been several months since I entered the Misty Forbidden Land. I have narrowly escaped death several times. According to my friends' methods, I haven't been able to escape yet, but instead, I have wasted a lot of time and consumed a lot of medicinal pills." The gaunt old man said with heartache.

Lu Xia Tian's face changed. Even among familiar people, it took at least ten days, even months to meet. Even if he could wait, the Jin Gu fruit couldn't wait either. By the time he went out, the Jin Gu tree would probably be uprooted. As for Xue Ling, if what she said was true, she seemed to be a woman of loyalty. The longer one lived, the more they cherished their life. Cultivators strived for the Jindan path and a longer lifespan, even more so they treasured themselves. But Xue Ling was willing to risk her life for her fellow disciple, which was truly remarkable. Forcing her to leave with him now would probably not be agreeable. This was truly troublesome.

"How long can you stay if you use the treasures on your person"

"It'll be ready in two days, but the items on me have a limited number of uses. Once I go out, they become invalid, and it takes time to prepare another one. My senior sister can't wait that long either."

Xue Ling's face changed, thinking that Lu Xiaoteng had ulterior motives. She had seen Lu Xiaoteng's strength before. Although it was just a few simple moves, in her opinion, Lu Xiaoteng had truly moved some wicked thoughts. She didn't even have a sliver of room to resist.

"Is what you're looking for troublesome Do you know its location" Lu Xiaoteng asked.

“There are several, and most of their locations are already known. It’s just that the Misty Forbidden Zone is filled with ferocious monsters, and there are often various dangers. My strength is low, so after entering, I’m living precariously each day, wasting a lot of time. If Fellow Daoist Lu is willing to help, I estimate that we could obtain them soon. In an unexpected turn of events, it should be enough in three to five days.” Hearing the meaning in Lu Xiaottian's words, Xue Ling’s face was filled with delight, and she looked at Lu Xiaottian with anticipation.

“My nephew and I have nothing better to do, so we might as well follow Daoist Xue and Daoist Lu. It’ll be more convenient that way, and if anything happens, we can lend a hand.” The gaunt old man volunteered readily.

As for the suggestion put forward by the emaciated elder, Xue Ling naturally had no objections. In this mist-shrouded forbidden zone, every bit of strength added was another point of safety.

According to Xue Ling, her senior sister Zhao Ran was poisoned by Baihua San, a concoction of one hundred poisonous flowers. There are two ways to detoxify it. One is to obtain the formula for Baihua San and specifically refine an antidote pill. She has learned the types of the one hundred poisonous flowers used to make Baihua San, but collecting so many detoxifying ingredients from all over the world would take too long. The second method is to refine Baidu Wan, a legendary pill that can counteract any poison. Although its effect is not as good as a targeted antidote pill, it can suppress the toxicity in her senior sister's body, buying time to find a specialized cure for Baihua San.

Besides, according to Xue Ling's account, the Hundred Poisons Pill is an extremely rare antidote. If taken immediately after being poisoned for a short time, it can detoxify most poisons. Alternatively, taking it in advance can provide immunity against poisons. Lu Xia Tian was somewhat moved. He was idle anyway, and he only had ordinary antidotes on hand, which could prevent some common poisons. But they were ineffective against extremely potent poisons from unorthodox schools. This time, with the invasion of cultivators from other realms, especially those from the Southern Wasteland, where venomous insects run rampant and miasma is dense, there are some sects that are particularly skilled in making and using poison. If possible, it would be good to have some Hundred Poisons Pills on hand just in case.

Xue Ling’s first sought-after medicinal herb was She Dan Cao, which grew within the territory of two Black Wind Demon Pythons.

It is called the Black Wind Demon Python because its territory is a fertile black soil, making the giant python very inconspicuous. Moreover, it is incredibly fast, appearing and disappearing like the wind. Two Black Wind Demon Pythons, one at the fifth rank and one at the sixth, are quite powerful. The snake gallbladder grass grows about three feet tall on a cliff. Next to the snake gallbladder grass is the Black Wind Demon Python's lair.

The Blackwind Demon Python was as thick as a water bucket and dozens of feet long. It coiled around a sturdy pine branch on the edge of a sheer cliff, spitting crimson venom from its mouth. Its pair of emerald green eyes looked extremely eerie.

And at this time, the spatial restrictions of the Mist Forbidden Land had loosened somewhat, but they hadn't completely vanished. Lu Xiaotian and the others could only glide through the air for tens of meters, unable to fly with their swords for long periods.

The Black Wind Demon Serpent carries a strange poison, its toxicity enough to leave no grass growing near its lair. Currently, the lair is surrounded by lush trees, all thanks to the function of Snake Gall Grass. A normal Snake Gall Grass needs at least two thousand years to grow to two feet tall. There's another way, though: letting the Snake Gall Grass absorb enough toxicity. Ordinary poison won’t do; it has to be extraordinary. The several Snake Gall Grass plants in front of us have all grown over two feet tall, which clearly shows the extraordinary toxicity carried by these two Black Wind Demon Serpents.

Seeing the Black Wind Demon Python rise up, its posture menacing, Xue Ling's face grew solemn. "I searched for a long time in the Mist Forbidden Land and only found the Snake Gall Herb here. But the Black Wind Demon Python is too powerful, I never dared to approach before. This time, if it weren't for the sudden arrival of the Armored Beetles, I would have been swallowed whole. Daoist Lu, please be careful."

"I'd be willing to lend a hand, but these two Blackwind Demon pythons are incredibly powerful and possess strange venom. I'm afraid my nephew and I wouldn't be much help." The wiry old man took one look at the Blackwind Demon pythons from afar and immediately felt his courage falter.

Lu Xia Tian nodded. He had some understanding of the Black Wind Demon Python. It was normal for the thin old man to have reservations, after all, their relationship was just average, and they had only just met. Even he wouldn't take such a big risk.

“I've attracted the attention of two Black Wind Demon Pythons. You guys take this opportunity to grab the Snake Gall Grass while you can. Besides Xue Dao-you’s, the rest is mine.” Lu Xia Tian took a step forward, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit as he stared at the Black Wind Demon Pythons a thousand zhang away.

“Be careful.” Xue Ling’s face showed a hint of worry. Although she knew Lu Xia Tian's strength was extraordinary, the Black Wind Demon Python was not to be trifled with.

The Black Wind Demon Python felt Lu Xiaitian's provocation. The larger demon python moved from the rocks at the edge of the cliff, its massive body surprisingly agile and quick despite its size. In a blink of an eye, it had traveled hundreds of meters. Xue Ling and the thin old man hurriedly dodged out of the way.

Facing such a powerful monster, ordinary methods were useless. Lu Xia Tian clapped his storage bag, and the earth-splitting blade carried with it a vast sword energy that soared into the sky. Like splitting the void itself, it charged towards the Black Wind Serpent Boa.

With a hiss! The Black Wind Demon Python's body stiffened, clearly sensing the immense killing intent emanating from the Earth-Splitting Blade. This golden elixir sword, though small, gave him an unprecedented sense of threat. The Black Wind Demon Python angrily lashed its massive tail, leaving dozens of tail shadows in the air, fiercely striking at the Earth-Splitting Blade.

With a clang, the tail of the Black Wind Demon Python clashed with the Severing Earth Blade. A large cloud of blood mist filled the air, and the Black Wind Demon Python let out a piercing cry. Its tail swiftly retracted. The sharpness and ferocity of the Severing Earth Blade had exceeded its expectations. It had been entrenched here for hundreds of years, and since it had memory, it was the first time it had suffered such severe injury. Enraged, the Black Wind Demon Python opened its mouth and spat a blast of green flames that engulfed the Severing Earth Blade. The area of the green fire was large; although the Severing Earth Blade was fast, it could not avoid it.

Lu Xia Tian's face changed slightly. He hadn't expected this Black Wind Demon Python to have cultivated the attack method of Green Shadow Snake Fire. While human cultivators could enhance their strength by refining various artifacts, demonic beasts couldn't craft similar items. However, they had their own unique methods, and Green Shadow Snake Fire was one of the standout attack methods of snake pythons. Those emerald-green flames were probably not easy to deal with, even compared to Dan Yuan artifacts.

These flames, though seemingly thin, stood as a solid wall, barring the way of the chasm blade.

Seeing the Black Wind Demon Python spit out green serpent fire, the gaunt elder and the bald strong man were even more frightened than seeing a ghost. Their figures exploded backward, This kind of serpent fire was an eerie attack with extremely potent poison. If a human cultivator didn't have adequate defensive measures beforehand, they would be almost certain to die upon contact.
