A golden light flashed and stopped outside Qingqiu Palace.
Lu Bei met five little foxes from Hubo. Unable to resist the hope in their eyes, he played hide-and-seek with them for a while.
In the world of cultivating immortals, one can use the art of escape to play hide-and-seek. It is possible and very likely that one can hide for a lifetime without revealing one's aura.
But to Lu Bei, the five little foxes were at a low level, almost catching up with Fox Three, so he easily captured them with a sweep of his divine sense.
It's no fun at all.
But there was no other way. The fox, who had raised them, couldn't bear to see them suffer any injustice, so he could only suffer himself.
Two hours later, it was getting dark.
Lu Bei received the prize of the hide-and-seek contest, five apples. He ate them while saying goodbye to the little fox and agreed to continue next time.
"It's strange. No matter how weak my eldest brother is, he has my godmother's blood flowing in his body. There is no reason for his realm to rise so slowly." Lu Bei bit into an apple, suspecting that there was another hidden story.
There is no reason why the little foxes, by borrowing the blood of Fox Two, successfully stimulated their own potential and made rapid progress in their cultivation, while Fox Three, the genuine son, became a failure and ended up with the lowest level of cultivation.
"That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that Big Brother really picked it up?"
Lu Bei raised his eyebrows, and imagined that Fox Er had a sister in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters, codenamed Fox Da. She died because she offended a big monster that she shouldn't have offended. Before her death, she asked Fox Er to escape from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters with her child.
You know what, it's very possible. That's how it's played out on TV.
The more Lu Bei thought about it, the more reliable it seemed. Fox Three's training was difficult, and it had nothing to do with Fox Two's bloodline. The problem lay with himself.
After imagining for a while, Lu Bei passed by Jingshang Palace and saw that the two gates had been repaired. He snorted coldly, kicked them, and then quickly fled the scene.
The man surnamed Tai has no idea who has the final say in Wu Zhou now.
Mu Lichen safely survived the thunder tribulation. He has a strong foundation, so this tribulation was not dangerous for him. Compared with Lu Bei's thunder tribulation, it was just a drop in the ocean. There is no possibility of comparison.
After he passed the tribulation, he was not in a hurry to stabilize his realm, but waited in the sect master's villa.
Wait for Lu Bei to appear, take out the immortal grass and return it.
"Ancestor, you can keep this thing. You don't need it to overcome the tribulation this time, but maybe you will need it next time." Lu Bei pushed it back and still refused after three attempts.
The herb of immortality is extremely precious. Just look at the old farmers in the Tribulation Period who are farming. They guard their one and a half acres of land day and night, watering it carefully and never dare to be negligent. They would rather hold their breath than let the herb of immortality absorb less spiritual energy.
Mu Lichen was not in danger of undergoing a second tribulation in the short term, so naturally he was unwilling to keep the Immortality Grass with him. He asked Lu Bei to take it back and give it to Bai Jin or Zhan Hongqu for use.
Mu Lichen did not comment on his disciple's chaotic private life. Since he did not comment, Lu Bei decided to say something.
"Grandmaster, I vaguely remember that among the previous Nine Sword Elders, there was an Elder Shao Yishao. I wonder where she is now?"
Without waiting for Mu Lichen to answer, Lu Bei continued, "Her talent and aptitude are far inferior to yours. If the calamity comes, it might be better to leave the Immortality Grass behind."
Shao Yi was the previous holder of the Nine Swords Da Yantian. He was fascinated by Mu Lichen's melancholy eyes, his stubble, and his miraculous swordsmanship.
When Mu Lichen was in a small dark room in the Bulao Mountain, he was free because of Shao Yi's help, and could freely enter and leave the Tianjian Peak to observe the sword spirit.
The Qingqian forces were destroyed. For the sake of Mu Lichen's face, Lu Bei did not use his fists or sword against Shao Yi, and handed the prisoner over to him for strict custody.
Lu Bei was not sure to what extent the matter was controlled. He only heard some rumors that Mu Lichen often practiced romantic sword skills with a woman.
Lu Bei judged others by his own experience and thought that the immortal grass would come in handy sooner or later.
Mu Lichen felt very embarrassed after hearing these words. He thanked the sect leader for his kindness, turned around and left quickly.
"Master, why are you being so polite to me? When I meet Master one day, I will tell you the truth. Master has found a mistress for him." After he finished speaking, Mu Lichen left with a pace that increased by three times faster.
After seeing Mu Lichen off, Lu Bei looked up at the starry sky. After a long time, he came up with a foolproof plan to overcome the tribulation.
Let's just assume it's foolproof.
He took a sip from his teacup and lied to himself, "There are only four of them. My master, a great master, has fought through all kinds of storms and waves. There is no reason to be afraid of them!!"
—
Three days later, the red desert.
The vast expanse of red sand is devoid of human habitation. The sand gathers into towers and forms peaks. The burning sea of sand rises and falls, stretching to the end of the sky and the earth.
The Chikong Desert is located in the south of Wu Zhou. This deserted place is also known as the Little Devil's Domain. It has little strategic value. Neither Wu Zhou nor the Xiong Chu, Qi or Yan were too lazy to include this place in their territory.
It is a lawless area with few people, making it the best place to survive a disaster.
Lu Bei remembered that the last time he helped Xin Lijun overcome the tribulation, the location was also in the Chikong Desert.
It’s fate!
Black and white portal opens.
Zhan Hongqu and Bai Jin walked out and looked at the red sea of sand. They were very satisfied with the place Lu Bei had chosen to survive the tribulation.
There is no such thing as unity and strength in numbers when cultivators are going through tribulation. On the contrary, too many people will be seen as a provocation by God, and the tribulation will be doubled.
The two women did not have the sword-wielding foundation that Mu Lichen had cultivated over hundreds of years. The larger the crowd, the more attention they would pay when they were transcending the tribulation.
"Senior Sister Bai, don't forget the Immortality Grass. If the situation gets out of control, taking this will keep you safe." Lu Bei reminded while helping to set up the formation.
To be fair, Bai Jin possesses the immortal sword intent and has the Dao rhyme protecting his body, so he can survive the heavenly tribulation on his own.
Lu Bei was afraid of any unexpected events, so he was extremely cautious.
Seeing him busying around, Bai Jin was deeply moved, but when she thought about him playing two women at the same time, causing her best friend Zhan Hongqu to become a good sister, she felt jealous.
There is also She Xuan from Sanqing Peak. Bai Jin never mentions this topic, for fear that if he dares to ask, Lu Bei will dare to say it.
It only adds to your troubles, so it’s better not to know!
After finishing the arrangements for Bai Jin's tribulation, Lu Bei picked up Zhan Hongqu and killed him thousands of miles away in an instant, then took out the formation diagram and started to arrange it again.
"Zong..."
"Um?!"
"Junior brother, is it necessary for us to be so far apart?" Zhanhong Cookie asked strangely.
“Sister, you don’t understand. Overcoming a tribulation is a big deal. It never hurts to be cautious.” Lu Bei sighed.
Seeing that he was particularly serious, Zhan Hongqu couldn't help feeling sweet in her heart. She glanced around to make sure there was no one around and secretly gave the pretty boy a kiss on the face.
"You, a female disciple, actually did such a thing to the sect leader in broad daylight!" Lu Bei was furious. He put his arm around her slender waist and bit her red lips to taste it.
In a hurry, just try a little.
After a moment, Zhan Hongqu opened his eyes faintly: "Junior brother, you don't have to rush around alone. Father said that he is willing to set up a formation to protect me."
I don’t know, but…
Feeling pained, Lu Bei didn't know where to start. He decisively passed the buck and said angrily, "That old guy has been planning to assassinate this sect master all day long. If he has evil intentions towards the sect master's wife, I will regret it!"
Zhan Hongqu raised his hand and poked Lu Bei, what do you mean by old boy? You are bullying someone's daughter, can't you be more polite with your words
It’s good to pretend!
Lu Bei said he couldn't, insisting that Zhan Lexian harbored evil intentions and was the root of all the discord in the Tianjian Sect, and that he couldn't get involved in the sect leader's wife's tribulation-prevention affairs.
As he spoke, he floated up and flew in the other direction of the quadrilateral: "Senior Sister Zhan, please get ready. I'll go see if there are any idle people around."
…
"Sister She, this is it. It's a vast desert with not even a ghost. It's just right for overcoming the calamity." Lu Bei first wiped off the strange smell on his body, and then released She Yan.
He was skilled in arranging the formation, and when he saw She Xuan using magic weapons such as the Hundred Paintings and Thousand Machine Seals, the Thousand Conquest Spears, the Black Scale Robe, and the Eye of the Candle Dragon, his eyes twitched.
It’s great to have someone up there!
But these magic weapons only attract hatred. Be it Teng Snake or Zhulong, these old things that should have died do not seem to be favored by God.
Looking at the golden-scaled snake coiled on She Xuan's head, Lu Bei's eyes suddenly shrank, thinking that he almost forgot about this hidden danger. He reached out his hand, grabbed it, and swallowed it into his stomach.
“Huh?!”
She Xuan was dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on.
"Little Snake Sister is too naughty. I'll take her away first, just in case."
Lu Bei held She Xuan in the formation with a serious face and said, "Sister She, please prepare for a while. I will go to the side to see if there are any treacherous villains waiting for an opportunity to attack."
"Except you, there is no other villain." She Xuan put her arms around Lu Bei's neck and gave him a kiss. She felt so satisfied in her heart with the pretty boy's meticulous pampering.
"No, we must not be careless when we need to be cautious."
Lu Bei responded perfunctorily, wiped the venom from his mouth, and reiterated several times not to run around. He left an afterimage on the spot, and then turned into golden light and disappeared.
She Xuan looked at the direction where Lu Bei disappeared with tenderness, raised her hand and touched the corner of her mouth, and asked curiously: "The fragrance of flower tea, has the taste changed recently?"
The tea tasted good. Since Lu Bei liked it, She Xuan also liked it. She was thinking about asking Lu Bei to make her a pot of tea after she passed the tribulation.
…
High in the sky, in the very center of the quadrilateral, the tiny black dot is barely detectable.
The black-winged golden-eyed eagle was suspended in the air, its eagle eyes overlooking the surroundings. It had the overall situation firmly under control like a sky eye, sharing its sight with Lu Bei below to ensure that there would be no variables in this disaster.
At the last corner of the quadrilateral, Lu Bei once again restrained his scent and numbly released the last contestant.
He has had a hard time for this family!
Lu Bei was skilled in arranging the formation and inviting his opponent into the formation, and his movements were so smooth that Zhu Qilan looked at him sideways again and again.
The princess silently gave Lu Bei a high score, thinking to herself that the bastard was secretly practicing without saying anything, and that he clearly liked her very much but still had a cold and indifferent face.
Pfft, who are you performing for
Seeing Lu Bei putting on airs, she followed suit, standing in the formation with a cold face, looking as arrogant as she should be.
How ridiculous! I, the sect leader, have risked my life to serve you, and yet you still give me the cold shoulder!
Lu Bei snorted twice, walked forward, hugged the beauty and kissed her like a wolf. Soon, Zhu Qilan was so embarrassed that her face turned red and she was gasping for breath.
"That's more like it. Remember, don't use the seal if you can. Don't ask why. I'll tell you slowly after the heavenly tribulation is over." Lu Bei patted his butt and left under the pretext of clearing out the idlers, leaving behind a streak of golden light.
At Bai Jin's place, Lu Bei hurried over and wiped away the smell that shouldn't be there.
Just as I put my arms around her slender waist and was about to say some sweet words, suddenly, a dark cloud filled our shared sight.
She Xuan survived the tribulation first.
Why are you in such a hurry? It’s not your turn yet!
"Junior brother, why do you look so bad?"
"No, nothing!"
Lu Bei covered his face and rubbed it, then put on a refreshing smile: "What a coincidence, there is a demon cultivator in the distance who is going through a tribulation."
"What should we do then? Will there be any impact?"
"It doesn't matter. I will do it."
Lu Bei gritted his teeth and said viciously, "In case you are outdone by him, I will go and kill him right now."
The golden light flew away quickly and rushed straight to the diagonal of the quadrilateral. Halfway through, the Black-winged Golden-eyed Eagle sent the latest battle report, and Zhu Qilan's thunder tribulation also came.
Lu Bei: “…”
Haha, do you dare to be more ruthless
How dare you!
Dark clouds rolled in all directions, thunders came down from all directions, and not only did they pass through the calamity on the same day, but also at the same hour.
Lu Bei: …
You have such a cruel heart, how could you do this!
