ess of their alignment, deeply dislike owing favors for this very reason.“This is my token of love. Brother Dong Fang, if you are ever troubled by worldly affairs, you can simply display this token....And at this time, the Illusory Mist Realm had undergone significant changes. The restrictions were looser than before, greatly reducing the constraints on both immortals and true immortals. The effect of the Ice Demon Vase had also diminished compared to before. With the appearance of the Wish-Dream Strange Stone, even Xīnhóng was preoccupied with her own affairs, having no time or energy to spare for him. As for Zhao Qifeng, he had lost his greatest value to Xu Suqin.

On the way back with Yunxia and Yunjili, Lu Xia Tian felt quite helpless. He had originally planned to spend more time cultivating in this illusionary mist land, relying on the Bingyaohu he had a considerable self-defense capability here. Who knew that the changes in this place would be so drastic, catching people off guard.
Although he is safe and sound until now, compared to some true immortals, Lu Xia Tian's current state is already considered good.
And Hu Yu'e, as a Dan Saint, was inferior to even Yun Li in terms of strength. At this time, when she went before Bai Shigong to compete for the Yumo Stone, no one was watching her, so naturally, she followed Lu Xiaoteng and the others.
Since the earth-shattering tremors, the celestial energy in the void has become increasingly intense. However, it is accompanied by a surge of golden sharp energy and icy killing intent, which are becoming more and more potent. Even immortals find it difficult to endure this environment. Meditating here to cultivate would be perilous, as absorbing the golden sharp energy and icy killing intent could lead to chaos within one's immortal essence.
At this moment, a group of true immortals stirred up quite a commotion in this phantom mist realm. Along the way, relying on the Ice Demon Gourd, Lu Xia Tian did not encounter too much hindrance. He brought Yun Xia, Yun Li, and Hu Yu E back along the way. Halfway there, a thick scent of blood essence approached. Lu Xia Tian felt a sense of warning in his heart, but upon sensing that familiar aura, Lu Xia Tian's heart was slightly at ease.
“Fellow cultivators from the East, you all seem to be doing well.” Xinhong’s face was pale, clutching her left shoulder. A black qi flickered on and off there, with dark red blood seeping out intermittently. Her steps were unsteady as she moved. It was clear that she was badly injured.
“Xīnhóng, Daoist friend, you are injured.” Lu Xiaottian sized the other person up a few times. Xīnhóng's current state wasn’t very good.
“Master Uncle, are you alright” Yunxia and Yunli hurried forward.
"Zǐwǔ Míngshā is indeed formidable. After I return to Yúnxiā Xiānzōng, I'm afraid I'll need some time to recuperate before fully recovering." Xīnhóng said in a weak voice.
“All the true immortals from Yinquan Valley have come” Hu Yu'e wore a worried expression. “I wonder how Bai Shu is doing now”
"Your cultivation level is not weak, Bai. Nothing had happened before I arrived. It's just that for the sake of Dreamstone, various True Immortals fought fiercely, with some severely injured and even falling. I was also hit by the sneak attack of a malevolent wind. Bai, if you can't retreat in time, things will be very dangerous. As for Xu and Zhao, they were struck by Mu Qi's Soul Piercing Whip during the fight and fell into a mist valley. Their situation is critical, and I couldn't get any details about them. Even if they are alive, their current state must be terrible."
Xinhong shook her head, remembering the scene of many true immortals vying for the dream-chasing stone. At this moment, she also felt a shiver down her spine.
“Whatever the case, it’s good that Daoist Xinhong is back. We can put aside the dream of the Dreamstone for now. As long as we can return early, gather the power of several Immortal Sects, and collect a batch of Xianjing in this Illusory Mist Land before anyone else, that would be a tremendous gain.” Lu Xia Tian said.
"That's exactly the point," Xinhong nodded. "Later, expelling the Golden Sabre Qi, Ice Saber Qi, and collecting Immortal Crystal Mines will all require a large number of people. Whoever can get ahead in this race for immortality, the benefits they reap will be unimaginable."
Under these circumstances, with her injuries so severe, Xinhong could only take a step back and regroup. She rallied the power of Yunxia Xianzong to stage a comeback, uniting several other Xianzong sects. On one hand, they mined fairy crystal veins to make up for their losses this time.
"Afterwards, excavating the fairy crystal mine will probably still require Brother Dongfang's help."
"That's not a difficult thing. Let's talk about it later."
Although the aura of ground fairies, golden sharp energy, and ice-killing energy have loosened the restrictions in this place due to their clashing, posing less of a threat to true immortals, it remains incredibly dangerous for immortals. However, as long as one takes measures to avoid being impacted by the golden sharp energy and ice-killing aura, cultivating here can still offer significant benefits.
Moreover, the Xianjing ore vein in this place is still in a completely unknown state. It's a time to take advantage of the chaos. Lu Xia Tian thought to himself that while refining the Yan Ling page, he could also secretly benefit from this place, killing two birds with one stone. The only thing to worry about was the possibility that there might be some form of existence behind the ban, or perhaps only a remnant of a powerful demonic cultivator's soul remained, without much ability.
But when the sky falls, there's someone taller to take the hit. With the appearance of this celestial crystal vein, a large number of immortals, true immortals, and even more powerful beings will inevitably pour in. Besides those who got in early at the beginning and took advantage of the chaos, the ones who can reap the greatest benefits are the later batches of powerful immortal sects. However, as the celestial crystal vein is gradually explored and the sphere of influence is divided, there won't be much room for exploiting loopholes.
Lu Xiaitian held the Ice Demon Pot, and half of the Flame Spirit page within him had already been refined. He was somewhat familiar with the restrictions of this place. In this situation, he dared not take any risks at all.
Even though Xinhong was seriously injured, she was still a powerful True Immortal Realm expert. Even without taking action, she possessed considerable intimidation. Traveling with several others gave everyone a sense of security. However, after leaving this place shrouded in thick fog and filled with illusions, it was mainly Lu Xiaitian who led the group through numerous difficulties and dangers. Xinhong was able to recover from her injuries while traveling safely. By the time they reached a relatively safe area, Xinhong's wounds had recovered to some extent.
"Thank you very much, Daoist from the East. I will take care of the journey ahead. Since Daoist Bai hasn't arrived yet, Daoist Hu and I will go to Yunxia Xianzong first. When we hear news from Daoist Bai, we will send Daoist Hu back to Xingyou Zong. Or, if I have free time, I will send someone or even go myself to escort Daoist Hu back."
Upon their return to the place shrouded in mist, they were greeted by a brilliant blue sky overhead. The sight filled everyone with a sense of relief and renewed hope. Xinhong let out a sigh of contentment as she turned to Lu Xiaoteng and Hu Yu'e and the others, saying:
"Then, I'll have to trouble Daoist Xīnhóng." As the Saint of Alchemy, Hu Yù'e naturally could be on par with Xīnhóng in their interactions.
Lu Xiaitian, Yunxia, and Yunya several people couldn't help but smile. Bai Shigong hadn't returned now, bringing Hu Yu'e to Yunxia Xianzong had also delayed the time for Xingyouzong to learn about the fairy crystal vein news. Without other immortal sects cooperating with Yunxia Xianzong, one less sect participating in the disturbance was a good thing. Bringing Hu Yu'e to Yunxia Xianzong first, Xinhong had her own intentions. Even if Hu Yu'e knew it, she couldn't refuse Xinhong's kindness with ulterior motives. If it wasn't for them, Hu Yu'e would have found it extremely difficult to return safely on her own strength.t even show your face" From the distant void, scattered snowflakes swirled and danced. A slender figure emerged from within, clad in white palace attire with willow brows slanted into her temples. Her...
