o one knew where he had gone to visit other mansions, or perhaps he was out with his friends looking for flowers and asking about willows.The only one who can stabilize the situation is Cao Kun. Cao K...“Who dares to intrude upon my Blood Gourd Island!” Lu Xia Tian directly tore apart the blood-colored restriction, causing quite a stir. Soon, two men with an unnatural crimson tinge on their faces flew over on swords.

With their cultivation at only the Qi Refining stage, these two men naturally couldn't detect Lu Xia Tian who had already concealed his figure.

"What's going on Where did the people go" The man with hawk-like eyes swept his gaze around suspiciously.

“Who knows, maybe the demon sea storm some time ago brought some riff-raff near Blood Gourd Island. It's just that Blood Gourd Island isn't suitable for those people to cultivate, and they usually come in rashly and leave directly,” another round-faced man said nonchalantly.

"We can't be careless. This area is our responsibility to patrol. If something goes wrong, if the ancestor blames us, you and I can't afford the consequences." The eagle-eyed man said solemnly.

When the hawk-eyed man mentioned their ancestor, the round-faced man's expression turned serious.

“Could it be the Blood Gourd Ancestor” After the two left, Lu Xia Tian’s eyes flashed with a hint of amusement. His mindset now was completely different from when he first entered the Blood Gourd Island.

When I first arrived on Xuehu Island, I was just a Qi Refining cultivator. Although I was among the best in the Qi Refining stage, before a Golden Core cultivator, I was nothing more than an ant. Even in the relatively sparse Lingqi and Spirit Beast world of Wangyue Cultivation Realm, Golden Core cultivators were not uncommon sights. Let alone the abundant spiritual energy of Lanmo Sea Territory, where encountering a Golden Core cultivator would be even more frequent.

And now Lu Xiaoteng's cultivation had reached a profound level, unless he encountered a very rare Nascent Soul ancestor, many dangers that he was previously unable to cope with were now insignificant in his eyes.

However, Lu Xia Tian was naturally cautious and didn't intend to show off his power in front of these two Foundation Establishment cultivators. He simply avoided them and headed in the direction he had been when he first awoke. This time, Lu Xia Tian's only goal was to find the teleportation formation from before; he wasn't looking to disturb anyone else.

As on a hundred or so years ago, a large group of miners were driven by overseers to mine a dark red ore. Along the way, Lu Xia Tian saw two miners die under the torment of the overseers.

“Hey, that’s not right!” As they arrived at the foot of a mountain, Lu Xia Tian suddenly felt a shift in his divine sense. He had the feeling of being watched.

Lu Xia Tian looked up, and between the slopes of the mountain, he seemed to see a gigantic eyeball turning.

“Heavenly Fish of Heaven!” Lu Xia Tian narrowed his eyes. He had received one in the depths of Xue Hu Dao Ren’s back mountain before, and now he was encountering another.

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

“Greetings, fellow cultivator! Welcome to my Blood Gourd Island!” A voice as loud as a shattering clay pot echoed through the valley.

Lu Xia Tian's body shuddered slightly. It seemed that the Blood Gourd Island's master had changed, and it was someone he knew. Or perhaps "person" wasn't quite right; judging by the voice, it was the clay puppet.

Sure enough, in a moment, on the mountain peak appeared a burly black-robed man. He wore a ferocious black ghost mask on his face.

“Playing tricks,” Lu Xia Tian muttered in his heart, secretly raising his guard. This clay puppet was strange even with his current understanding. To have one’s soul attached to a puppet and remain at the bottom of Jixing Lake for an unknown number of years... back when he arrived on this Xuehu Island via a teleportation array, it had been over a hundred years. Yet, this clay puppet still existed, its consciousness undiminished despite the depletion of its lifespan.

This clay puppet shouldn't be underestimated.

Moreover, when they had escaped the Blood Gourd Daoist together, there were two pottery puppet survivors, but now only one appeared.

Thinking back to the experience of one clay figurine puppet escaping and the other being set up, Lu Xia Tian let out a cold snort. This clay figurine puppet was different from humans, with a completely different aura. Trying to use the methods used against human cultivators to deal with clay figurine puppets would most likely be ineffective.

“I happened to pass by, I don't think there are any taboos on your island. I was chasing a spirit beast near the sea area and lost it. I came to the island to take a look, not wanting to disturb this Daoist friend. Daoist friend, there is no need to be alarmed. I will continue searching for a while. If I can't find it, I will leave on my own and will definitely not disturb your cultivation.” Lu Xia Tian said.

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

"As a fellow cultivator new to this island, you're likely unfamiliar with its affairs. Why not take some rest at my cave dwelling Tell me about the monster, and I'll use the power of our sect to find it. It will be much faster than you searching alone." The masked man in black said.

"This is a serious matter, and I'm afraid I can't disclose it to you, fellow cultivator. Please understand. If there are any offenses, after finding the demon beast, I will pay your sect a sum of spirit stones as compensation."

Lu Xia Tian said, he wouldn't tell this guy about his search for a teleportation array. Even if the stone golem knew about it, he wouldn't say anything himself.

“This isn't appropriate, Daoist friend. You’re a stranger here, and to say you’ll search within the territory controlled by our Blood Hulu Island is disrespectful and disregards me.” The ghost-faced man in black said solemnly.

"I have difficulties in expressing myself."

Lu Xia Tian raised an eyebrow. Since coming secretly wouldn't work, he might as well come openly. Back at Ji Xing Lake, he had nearly lost his life to this stone puppet. Later, when he came to Xuehu Island, although the two sides were cooperating, the stone puppet had helped him escape from Xuehu Island. However, back then, the stone puppet wanted something that Lu Xia Tian controlled, and the other party might not have been sincere.

After finishing his words, Lu Xia Tian gave the Ghost-Faced Man in Black a dismissive flick of his back before turning away and ignoring his reaction.

"Looks like, fellow Daoist, you're deliberately causing trouble. In that case, I'll have to take offense." The ghost-faced man in black was instantly enraged and stretched out his palm towards Lu Xiaitian. The wind of his palm was strange, unlike the usual fluctuations of mana.

Lu Xiaitian also wanted to test the depth of his opponent and did not use any magical power. He relied solely on his physical strength, turning around with a palm strike, a huge surge of force surging out. A bloody aura flickered.

With a resounding *bang*, the masked figure in black shot backwards several meters, staring at Lu Xia Tian in astonishment. "Blood coagulation into a Qi Gang! Your cultivation has reached the astonishing ninth level of body refinement!"

Lu Xiaoteng only felt a strange force coming from the opponent, somewhat similar to blood煞 power, but not quite the same. The palm was harder than gold and stone. Although he had repelled the opponent, this strike hadn't really given him much advantage. During the exchange, Lu Xiaoteng was completely certain that this guy was indeed the pottery figurine puppet from before.

"If you don't beat me, I'll go find my spirit beast. Best not to anger me." Lu Xiaottian coldly snorted. He had in his hand the puppet scroll given by Xiao Heilong, specifically recording the terracotta warrior puppets.

Lu Xia Tian did know the weakness of this terracotta puppet, but the current situation of the terracotta puppet was rather strange. Before forming a core, Lu Xia Tian didn't want to cause any trouble and provoke a stronger enemy.
