Chapter 679: Collecting Lunar Gangsha

Now that the Xiao family had deployed such a formidable force, if they obtained the Jade of these two Water Spirits, it would naturally be worthwhile. If even one were damaged, it would be a huge los..."Several decades ago, I told you never to cross my path again. Now you dare to provoke Cao someone, don't know how to live or die." Cao Sheng glared at the silver orchid thief in front of him with a face ashen as death, his whole body radiating killing intent. He took step by step towards the Silver Orchid Thief.

"Kill if you must, I won't bat an eyelid." Seeing that his escape route was cut off, the notorious Silver Orchid Bandit roared in desperation.

“Die!” Cao Sheng roared, and the yellow jade cleaver in his hand slashed directly down from the top of Yin Lan bandit's head. With a sound of “chi,” the Yin Lan bandit’s body was split in two from head to hip, dying a tragically miserable death. At the same time, a streak of yellow light rolled out with Cao Sheng's yellow jade cleaver, trapping the escaping soul of the Yin Lan bandit. Several sharp qi blades were slashed out, and the Yin Lan bandit’s soul was chopped into dozens of pieces in his screams, finally collapsing with a bang. The infamous and long-time villain, Yin Lan bandit, was thus annihilated both physically and spiritually.

After killing the Silver Orchid Bandit, Cao Sheng still felt a sense of dissatisfaction. He directly waved his hand and unleashed the Three-Burning True Fire, burning all traces left by the Silver Orchid Bandit to ashes before stopping.

“This battle was truly perilous. If it hadn't been for Brother Lu's timely arrival, my Cao family would have fallen here today. Brother Lu, you have shown immense kindness, and Cao Sheng will never forget it. From now on, if Brother Lu ever needs anything, Cao Sheng will certainly go through fire and water without hesitation.” After slaying the Silver Orchid bandit, Cao Sheng leaped forward and bowed deeply to Lu Xia Tian, his expression solemn.

“Many thanks, Brother Lu, for saving my life!” Cao Bao and the others saw this and also looked at Lu Xiaodao with gratitude.

"Brother Cao, you don't need to be like this. I stayed at your Cao residence for so long, we are considered acquaintances. Since we met on the road, of course, I can't just stand by and watch." Lu Xiaoteng waved his hand and said.

"Haha, Brother Lu, you say that as if a distinguished guest like yourself is usually so hard to come by! Being able to grace my humble abode with your presence, Cao Sheng feels honored. "Cao Sheng laughed heartily, but then added with a touch of sentimentality, "Brother Lu is truly loyal and righteous. Though we've known each other for less than a hundred years, you've always been there for me, helping me out in countless ways. When facing the life-threatening situation with the infant monk, most friends would have left me behind. Yet, Brother Lu, without hesitation, risked his own life to help me. This act of kindness, Cao Sheng will never forget."

“That’s right, that Ma Hong bastard! He always took advantage of us when things were good, but when it came down to it, he ran faster than anyone else. This time, we have to make him pay!” Cao Sheng said, and Cao Bao and the others were furious.

"Cao brother, you are too polite. Where are you going" Lu Xia Tian asked.

“My dearest friend was seriously injured, and I spent a lot to get my hands on a Rejuvenation Pill. I don't know how that murderous monk got wind of it, but he intercepted me halfway. Judging by his appearance, he also wanted this pill. I refused, and naturally, he attacked. That murderous monk is truly formidable. His legs...I wonder who..." Thinking back to the previous battle, Cao Sheng still felt a shiver down his spine. But then, he looked at Lu Xiaodao with astonishment, "Lu brother, those legs of the murderous monk couldn't possibly be..."

“I did actually spar with him once. As I'm headed to your estate anyway, if you don't mind an extra person, I won't be polite.” Lu Xia Tian smiled.

Even a desperate, life-threatening monk wouldn't be the Lu brothers' opponent. The Lu brothers' true skills are truly unfathomable. In the future, the path to the Yuan Ying realm is within reach.

Cao Sheng shook his head. He had speculated about this before, and although he had guessed the truth, hearing it directly from Lu Xia Tian still came as a shock. However, soon Cao Sheng smiled again, "Brother Lu, you're being too modest. As long as you're willing, you'll always be the most honored guest at the Cao Mansion. You can stay as long as you like. Besides, being able to travel with a master like Brother Lu, any rogue or villain would be afraid to cross our path. Countless people would give anything for this opportunity."

"That's right, Lu Senior. With just one punch, you injured the Silver Orchid Bandit like that and even took his weapon." Cao Xier added from beside him.

"Now that you're also a Jindan cultivator, it's inappropriate to call me senior. You should call me Uncle Lu." Cao Sheng glared at his daughter.

"Yes, Uncle Lu," Cao Xier said with a blush.

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

Being called "Uncle" by a fellow cultivator, Lu Xia Tian couldn't help but touch his nose. This feeling was indeed quite strange. However, if you really counted age, it wasn't entirely unreasonable.

"Who said it wasn't true When I first met Brother Lu, I didn't know any better and even dared to fight him. As a result, Brother Lu defeated me with a single move. But looking back on it now, I feel a bit scared. Thankfully, Brother Lu went easy on me, otherwise, I would have been worse off than that Silver Orchid Bandit." Cao Bao said, his voice filled with lingering fear. He knew himself well and realized he was far inferior to the Silver Orchid Bandit. Even the Silver Orchid Bandit had been defeated by Lu Xia Tian with a single punch and had his magical artifact taken away. Such terrifying power... back then, when I only suffered some minor injuries, it was already incredibly lucky for me. I'm even more grateful that Lu Xia Tian is not an enemy of the Cao family."

"Are you done with Lu's brother's affairs" Cao Sheng asked Lu Xia Tian when they were flying quickly towards Wushang City.

"There's something else, I probably won't be able to stay at your place for many days this time." Lu Xiaoteng said. That was the truth; as long as the Huoyun Bowl absorbed enough Earth-Moon Gangsha, if nothing unexpected happened afterward, he wouldn't know when he would return to Zhenwei Houfu again.

"What's the matter, so urgent Brother Lu, do you need my help" Cao Sheng said again.

“The place I went to was quite dangerous, and it was my first time there. I didn't know if it would be good fortune or bad luck. When I run into trouble later, I'll ask Cao for help.” Lu Xia Tian nodded, then suddenly remembered some things he was still collecting, and that Cao Sheng also had some influence in the Bei Qi country, so he said, “Brother Cao has a wide network of contacts. If you hear anything about the Void Sword Stone or the Nirvana Sword Orchid, please keep an eye out for me.”

"Alright, I will definitely help Brother Lu inquire about things in the future." Cao Sheng nodded solemnly.

Following Cao Sheng all the way back to Zhenwei Hou's Mansion, we didn't encounter any trouble. After all, Cao Sheng was a renowned figure, and with several Jindan cultivators accompanying him, ordinary people wouldn't dare to cause any trouble.

Lu Xia Tian stayed at the Cao residence for ten days or so, initially refining the Fire Cloud Bowl. Then, he ventured into a derelict well, throwing several Xīngāng beads into the churning magma. The lunar and terrestrial Qi easily gathered by these beads were quickly absorbed into the Fire Cloud Bowl. The bowl, now brimming with lunar and terrestrial Qi, felt heavy, likely weighing thousands of jin. It was enough to forge several Spirit-Suppressing Towers. Lu Xia Tian weighed the Fire Cloud Bowl's weight and directly sent it into the barrier.ithout a trace, apparently having entered the Lei Pool. As for the restrictions within the Lei Pool, they remained intact as before, with not even a hint of being broken. Lu Xia Tian was also filled w...
