Chapter 294: Coercion and Lurement
by those with ill intentions. 。After all, whether it's using a hundred years of red ice mulberry leaves to feed the ice silkworm, or the frequent alchemy required medicinal herbs, or the large-scale...Lu Xia Tian's eyes flashed. The three ghost cultivators' methods had given him some inspiration. These seemingly weak low-ranking skeletons were useless in a magical duel, but precisely because they feared no threats and were so weak that even ordinary monsters ignored them, they could scout enemy situations. Especially in this kind of environment, their role was irreplaceable. Although these guys weren't very strong, their minds were meticulous. This kind of small trick was worth learning from in the future. Lu Xia Tian crossed his arms, looking thoughtful.
Now that the matter was decided, Lu Xia Tian directly found a place to sit and meditate, while taking a soul nourishing pill. It's no wonder that human cultivators have an instinctive aversion to such places. The Yin Qi in this place is extremely heavy; not only does it absorb nothing of spiritual energy for cultivation, but it also suppresses and even corrodes one's divine sense. Lu Xia Tian had already noticed something amiss with his divine sense after being here for a while. With Ge Changting and the other three on guard, Lu Xia Tian didn't have to worry about anything for the time being.
Ge Changting and the others saw the flash of the pill in Lu Xiaoteng's hand, a look of envy in their eyes. Although they were ghost cultivators and normal human cultivators were vastly different, their divine sense was essentially comparable. For ghost cultivators, divine sense was even more important, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to control these skeletons to fight. Pills like the Soul Nourishing Pill were not only precious but also rare. Usually, no alchemist would be willing to associate with them, ghost cultivators. To obtain such a pill, the difficulty was extraordinary. It wasn't easy to come by. If it weren't for when their divine sense was injured, they wouldn't even consider using it. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoteng had taken one as soon as he entered this tomb. This was at least tens of thousands of spirit stones!
At the same time, several people had a glimmer of understanding in their hearts. Their eyes showed that the young man before them was extraordinary. To be able to consume the Soul Nourishing Pill so easily, it was no wonder his divine soul was so powerful. The strange psychic attack was beyond their ability to resist.
While Lu Xiaoteng was meditating with his eyes closed, Ge Changting, Hu Laogui, Xiao Sanniang and the others exchanged glances. However, their eyes were filled with hesitation and they ultimately did nothing. After what had happened before, they naturally didn't want to take advantage of Lu Xiaoteng's unguarded state and attack him.

They wouldn't even dare to give them this opportunity. They had been in the cultivation world for longer than anyone else, and Lu Xia Tian had even reached the Ghost Marquis stage step by step from the more dangerous ghost cultivators, which was no easy feat. When they submitted to Lu Xia Tian, they had considered finding a chance to escape later on. Although they were no match for this young man in a direct confrontation, it wasn't impossible for them to slip away when he was distracted or off guard. With their experience, they could naturally see that although Lu Xia Tian was powerful, he wasn't very familiar with this tomb. As long as they quietly slipped away, they could easily lose him thanks to their familiarity with the tomb. They even dared to use the formidable zombies in the tomb to eliminate Lu Xia Tian if they were bold enough.

Several faces darkened, but even though Lu Xiaoteng had his eyes closed, he suddenly spoke, "Are you thinking about how to use your familiarity with the terrain to get away, or even attack me Have you already made plans"
“Master, your magical powers are formidable, and your wisdom profound. We lowly ones dare not presume.” Ge Changting, Hu Lao Gui, and Xiao San Niang were all simultaneously astonished. They hadn't even finished forming this thought in their minds when the young man in front of them had already sensed it. Before, they had been thinking that the person before them might be incredibly powerful and intelligent, but after all, he was inexperienced. If they played a small trick, they might be able to withdraw. But they hadn't expected that this youth's strength wasn't just in his power, but also in his cunning like a fox. The three of them couldn't help but feel a strange sense of déjà vu—the person before them was not a young man, but an old monster with immense experience.
This is a blank line.
"It's not the best, wanting to play tricks also depends on whether the trap can handle me. Although you are somewhat useful to me right now, if I really want to, I can navigate this tomb freely without you, it just takes a little longer."
Of course, if things go smoothly, getting your hands on some Soul Nurturing Pills wouldn't be difficult.
Finally, Lu Xia Tian added another sentence. He glanced at the three of them with a single move, capturing their frightened gazes in his eyes. A slight smile appeared on his face. Facing such cunning and experienced individuals, simply relying on brute force wasn't enough. He needed to occasionally strike a few blows. Besides intimidation, he also needed to offer temptations. These guys wouldn't develop any dissent for now.

"Really" several exclaimed, for besides Xiao Sanniang's formidable close combat skills, the other two ghost cultivators relied on skeletons as their proxies. However, a pill that could enhance mental awareness was something they all desperately desired.

"What could you possibly have that would be worth my deception" Lu Xia Tian sneered.

Ge Changting, Hu Lao, and Xiao Sanniang fell silent for a moment before exchanging glances. A fleeting joy flashed in their eyes. The young man’s words were indeed well-said. As ghost cultivators, besides playing a certain role within the tombs, they offered little value to Lu Xiaoteng. However, considering how Lu Xiaoteng had ventured alone into such a perilous place for a single soul to possess a corpse, there might be a transaction involved. Even if so, if they were in his position, they probably wouldn’t have been so selfless.
“What the young master said is true, these old bones have nothing of value. You wouldn't be interested in any side-door tricks anyway. As for what I promised you before, I will definitely do my best.” Very soon, the three had a plan and once again vied with each other to make their loyalty known.
“Hope so.” Lu Xiaottian smiled noncommittally, continued to close his eyes and meditate, no longer speaking. In his heart, he was slightly relieved. Whether it was a fellow cultivator from the immortal world or these ghosts in front of him, dealing with these people required careful consideration, otherwise, one might be calculated without knowing how they died. As for these people, perhaps only a Jindan cultivator could act without any scruples. Even though his strength was formidable, he couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be times when he was caught off guard. Only absolute power could crush all conspiracies and schemes.
In the immortal cultivation world, only strength can earn people's respect. Otherwise, not only will one's dignity be trampled upon, but their life will also be in danger.
Regardless of the situation, Ge Changting and his three companions were indeed shaken by Lu Xiaotian's threats and temptations just now. They did not dare to have any further thoughts, each guarding a corner with vigilance against attacks from other monsters. Pay attention to the appearance of the White-Haired Corpse.
The effect of the Soul-Nourishing Pill lasted for a considerable amount of time. It cleared the trace of Yin Qi that had entered his body, leaving Lu Xiaoteng with nothing to do for the moment. He picked up the gray stone again and, with practiced ease, sent a strand of his divine sense into it. Since he had peeked at a sliver of its secrets, Lu Xiaoteng would occasionally probe it in a similar manner. Like a saw cutting through wood or water wearing away a stone, he believed that one day he would unlock the secrets of this gray stone. Even if it took years, even decades, he was willing to wait.
