tage for sixty or seventy years, wielding her green flying silk ribbon, might not possess an aura as powerful as the Cracking Earth Sword. Mo Wen thought to himself that if it weren't for his own for..."A full investigation of the valley will have to wait." The old man in black said.

"Why Now there are only a few of us here. What if other cultivators discover this elixir later Wouldn't we be overjoyed for nothing" The woman in green asked, her face clearly unhappy.

The old man in black robes snorted coldly, "The medicinal pills on me are almost gone. If you are confident that you can explore the truth with your own strength, then there is no harm. I will refine some healing and restoring mana pills first. Please go ahead."

"So that's it, then. Geng Dao-you is in charge of alchemy, and the rest of us will be responsible for finding some spiritual creatures in the canyon to serve as materials for Geng Dao-you's alchemy. Once we have everything prepared, we can act together. What do you think, Geng Dao-you" The big-bearded man slapped his thigh excitedly.

The old man in black hesitated for a moment, under the gazes of the big-bearded man, the blood dwarf, and the woman in green. He nodded and said, "So be it, then that's decided."

This is a paragraph.

“I will first carve out a cave at the mouth of the valley. You do as you please. If you find any spirits, you can bring them to me.” After saying this, the old man in black flew into the mist within the valley.

Lu Xia Tian woke up dazedly, only to find himself being held in the mouth of a giant bear like a cub. He was instantly drenched in cold sweat and dared not even breathe. If he startled the black bear, it would probably bite him in half with just its teeth.

The black bear closely followed the old man in black robes into the canyon. After about three hundred zhang, the surrounding mist became even thicker. Lu Xia Tian could only see things within tens of zhang at a glance. Anything farther away was a white blur, making it impossible to see.

The black-robed elder stopped in a relatively flat place. With a wave of his sleeve, he shouted sharply, "Rise!"

A pale gold sword shot out from the sleeve, lengthening from its original two inches to several feet.

This, this is a flying sword! At this moment, Lu Xia Tian was shocked by the scene before him, completely forgetting his fear. He stared in astonishment as the golden sword shot towards the opposite mountain wall. Like cutting tofu, it sliced through the originally incredibly hard rock.

A large number of rocks tumbled from the cliff face to the ground with a crashing sound.

"Elder Geng's flying sword is truly remarkable, effortlessly carving out a cave dwelling between the mountain peaks." The green-clad women followed suit and entered the canyon. Witnessing the scene before them, their faces shifted subtly as they whispered in hushed tones.

"It's just a little sharper, that's all. It can't even pierce the skin, it's ultimately useless." The Blood Dwarf's voice held a hint of sourness.

Roar! The black bear roared, putting Lu Xia Tian down on the ground. It took large strides forward, pawing at the scattered stones and helping the black-robed elder carve out a cave dwelling.

Lu Xia Tian fell to the ground, his buttocks aching. However, he didn't dare to make a sound for fear of displeasing the black-robed elder who was controlling the flying sword. This was a technique said to be possessed only by immortals, and he had actually encountered it. When he used to work as a handyman, he passed by the training grounds of the Le Dao Sect. Even those skilled martial artists could dodge a boulder with one strike, but after several repetitions, their internal energy would be depleted, leaving them powerless. But the black-robed elder in front of him used a flying sword. With a flick of his wrist, he could carve out a large cave from the mountainside. Such an incredible encounter had actually happened to him.

In fact, opening up a cave dwelling wasn't as easy as Lu Xia Tian imagined. A bead of sweat slid down the black-robed elder's face, and he even took a break to sit down. Even so, the black-robed elder's skill was beyond Lu Xia Tian's imagination.

"The practice room, alchemy room, spirit beast room, secret chamber, and rest room are about ready. " The old man in black muttered, raised his hand with a gesture, and the golden flying sword shrank in size, disappearing into his wide sleeve."

"Come in with me."

The old man in black robes glanced at Lu Xiaoteng and said in an unquestionable tone. Lu Xiaoteng didn't hesitate; he knew if he said no, the big black bear would swallow him whole. Moreover, the immortal's authority made him incapable of any resistance. He just felt that the old man in black robes seemed very cold and aloof, like someone to be kept at a distance.

"What is your name" the old man in black robe asked hoarsely after bringing him into his cave.

"My name is Lu Xiaoteng."

"Well, from now on you will learn the art of cultivating immortals with me. You do whatever I tell you and don't ask too many questions. Otherwise, I will throw you out and let that black bear eat you piece by piece."

"Me, can I learn the art of cultivation" Lu Xia Tian was still a boy at heart. Hearing the black-robed elder's words, he was instantly filled with excitement. However, seeing the black-robed elder's icy gaze, his heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered the black-robed elder's previous warning not to ask too many questions and hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes."

Seeing Lu Xiaitian's reaction was quite good, the old man in black nodded slightly. A child of this age, who could still speak under his scrutiny, possessed a commendable level of mental fortitude. However, at such a young age, he would still have to handle a large amount of miscellaneous tasks. Without any real strength, he would be overwhelmed. Even a sturdy ordinary man wouldn't be able to keep up.

The black-robed elder flipped through his storage pouch. Inside were a few cultivation manuals. He frowned, unsure of the boy's talent. At most, he wasn't good. He couldn't even determine what kind of spiritual root this boy possessed. If it weren't for the fact that there were no other options at present, the black-robed elder wouldn't have brought Lu Xiaottian here.

After a moment of contemplation, the old man in black flipped open a copy of the Hun Yuan Jing, still snatched from the pouch of a disciple from Ling Xiao Palace. He didn't have any requirements for which type of spiritual root it was suitable for, and as for whether there would be any adverse reactions after cultivation, he naturally had no way of knowing. He could only give it a try.

The copy of the Hun Yuan Jing in his hands was incomplete, only allowing cultivation to reach the middle stage of Qi Refining. He had already reached the peak of the Qi Refining period, and although the Hun Yuan Jing originated from Ling Xiao Palace, it was completely useless to him. It would be a good thing to give it to this child instead.

"This is your cultivation method, take good care of it. From tomorrow on, I will teach you how to begin practicing."

“Yes, yes!” Lu Xia Tian originally wanted to say thank you, but once he met his gaze, the thank you stuck in his throat. It seemed the other party didn't want him as a disciple.

The old man in black gave Lu Xia Tian a very small stone room. He only gave Lu Xia Tian a beast skin spread on the floor and a few ordinary living utensils, then dismissed him to the stone room. The old man himself sat cross-legged. Just now, opening the cave abode had consumed not only his mana but also his divine sense used for a long time controlling the flying sword, both of which needed to be recovered well.

Arriving at the cramped stone chamber, Lu Xia Tian couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. He held the Hun Yuan Jing in his chest like a precious treasure. At Lei Dao Sect, he could only be a lowly servant, doing chores like chopping wood, feeding horses, cleaning, and fetching water every day.

And now, although this black-robed elder was not easy to get along with, he could practice spells that only immortal cultivators could. In the future, he could also wield a flying sword like the black-robed elder, splitting mountains and rocks as if they were nothing. Even though in the stone chamber there was only an unknown floral patterned beast skin spread on the floor as a bed, Lu Xiaoteng was content.ed level. It was not simply a matter of adding them together. Both offense and defense had become one, far surpassing the level of a Xuanxian.Lu Xia Tian's eyes flickered, relying on this wolf riding...
