Chapter 415: Xuan Lei Yan Shi Array
u Xia Tian's body had several more unique auras.Lu Xia Tian walked on the waves, his speed was not much slower than flying with the wind. He would stop at islands and reefs he liked along the way.“Hmm..."Congratulations, Daoist Lu! It's rare to see you so happy. This must be a momentous occasion, wouldn't you say" The woman with the wooden staff had heard the commotion in Lu Xiaottian's courtyard long ago. However, since Lu Xiaottian had instructed her not to enter his courtyard without permission, she refrained from doing so.
In the eyes of Madam Mu, Lu Xia Tian’s temperament was usually calm and he never got flustered. To see him laughing so heartily like this, it was clear that something extraordinary had happened to bring him such joy.
"Indeed, I have encountered a rather pleasant event. I received a sound transmission talisman from an elder within the sect."
"Lu Dao-you, are you leaving" the woman in wooden clogs exclaimed.
"There's no rush, I still have some old wounds that haven't healed. I won't be leaving for a while, I'll wait until they're better. By the way, there's something else I need to ask you to do." Lu Xia Tian said.
"Master Lu, just speak freely. As long as this one can do it, she will certainly not disappoint Master Lu."
The woman's eyes flashed. She wasn't afraid of Lu Xiaotian making demands, in fact, she hoped he would owe her a favor. Having spent some time with Lu Xiaotian, she found him neither ruthless nor someone who liked to owe others. At least in their exchange, she had only taught him one formation while Lu Xiaotian gave her the secret formula for the horizontal training of the golden body, along with the accompanying spiritual artifact, which was priceless. Even with spirit stones, it might be impossible to buy. Even within those grand Xianmen sects, it would be considered top-tier. Once the other party needed help, the benefits she received would only increase.
"Fellow Daoist, you are quite proficient in the art of formations. Could you perhaps help me create a few sets of formations to withstand the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation" Lu Xia Tian's gaze casually swept towards the woman wielding the wooden hairpin. He did have a fourth-rank top-grade formation in his possession, but the Seven Star Array primarily focused on offense and might not be suitable for defending against the Thunder Tribulation. "
"Is this for your own tribulation, Friend Lu" The woman in wood chopsticks exclaimed in astonishment. Although she was already at the ninth level of Qi Refining, condensing a Golden Core was exceptionally rare. After collecting spiritual objects for many years, she hadn't even gathered them all. Unexpectedly, this young man surnamed Lu had already taken the lead ahead of her. However, considering the cultivation and strength of the young man surnamed Lu, he would certainly have a place in the sect. Even for her, there were still Golden Core elders in other sects. It's just that their generation had many Qi Refining cultivators, several of whom were no less talented than her, but the Golden Core fruit was not so easy to obtain.
"I can't say for sure yet. I still have some time before I reach the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and my old injuries haven't fully healed. Crossing the tribulation is something I'll do after returning to the sect." Lu Xiaoxiao smiled slightly. As for the truth, he naturally wouldn't reveal it easily.
“Several decades ago, I obtained several pieces of Meteorite Jade. After adding some Blaze Flame Stones, I've been refining the Xuan Lei Yan Stone Formation all these years. It combines offense and defense, and its specific power is yet unknown. However, even a Golden Core cultivator would have to work hard to break through this formation. This set of formations is quite difficult to refine, it can be said to be the crystallization of my efforts over the past few decades, and it will take several years to complete the final refinement.” The woman with wooden chopsticks shifted her gaze.
"I wonder what you'd be willing to trade for it" Lu Xia Tian wasn't about to give up so easily. Everything has a price, and this formation was no exception. For a cultivator like the Wooden Staff Woman who had reached the Ninth Level of Qi Condensation, the most important thing wasn't necessarily this formation itself."
The wooden hairpin woman smiled and said, "My cultivation has already reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. Ordinary treasures are no longer appealing to me. All I need is an opportunity to form a core. I wonder if Daoist Lu can give me this opportunity"

“What are the limitations of this Xuan Lei Yan Shi Array Even as a top-tier fourth-order array formation, it's still quite a bit inferior to a Golden Elixir.”
“Daoist Lu helped me recover from my injuries and taught me such a powerful body-cultivation technique. I only taught him the way of formations in return. Logically speaking, I shouldn't be too demanding, but this formation is truly significant to me. If it weren't related to my dantian union with you, I wouldn't want to offer it as an exchange.” The woman named Mu Chai said with a wry smile.
“Are you a spirit lacking the ability to refine the Golden Elixir, or are you missing an alchemist” Lu Xia Tian asked casually.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
As soon as the woman saw the wooden hairpin, a spark of interest lit up in her eyes, but at the same time, a hint of caution arose in her heart. This seemingly ordinary question was not simple at all. If she said she needed a spiritual object, wouldn't that mean the power behind her was extraordinary If she said she needed an alchemist, it would be equivalent to admitting that she had a spiritual object capable of refining Jin Dan. If it were the latter, with this young man surnamed Lu's ability, she was afraid she would have difficulty resisting if he wanted to make a move at this time.

“If you’re in trouble, it’s fine to not say anything. Consider this matter as if I never mentioned it.” Lu Xia Tian shook his head and said, although a set of fourth-order top-grade formations was rare, after arriving at望月城, he could also collect other defensive magic weapons or formations, talismans, etc. As long as he could provide pills, he wouldn't worry about not being able to collect them; it just required some time.
“Daoist Lu, you are too serious. I was indeed a little hesitant just now. But since Daoist Lu saved my life, there is nothing to distrust. If you had any ill intentions, you could have simply taken my storage pouch before. The Xuan Lei Yan Shi Formation still takes me two years to refine. When it’s complete, I will give it directly to Daoist Lu. I am still missing a water-system Ning Jin fruit. I wonder if Daoist Lu can help me get one.”

The wooden stick woman sensed Lu Xia Tian's displeasure and decided to take a gamble. She was usually cautious and careful, but she believed she hadn't misjudged this young man before her. After spending some years honing her skills at the ninth level of Qi Refining, she had reached a point where delaying further could risk missing the best opportunity for alchemy. Having survived the perilous conditions of the Silent Star Lake, there was nothing wrong with taking a gamble on this seemingly decent young man from the Lu clan, wasn't there
“If you trust me, after my injuries are healed, let’s go to 望月城 together. I know several owners of elixir shops in 望月城. Although it's a bit troublesome to get the Water-System Golden Condensing Fruit, give me some time, and it's not too difficult a task.” Lu Xia Tian said.
"Good, then let's make it a deal." The wooden comb woman beamed with delight.
After finishing his conversation with the Muchai woman, Lu Xia Tian walked around Fengye Valley and went to Wangyue Mountain Range. When he returned, he collected a few more monster soul essences. The last few monster essences he collected were refined using secret techniques from the Swallowed Soul Great Law, but during the process, he lost a lot of spiritual power and had no practical use, so he gave up directly.
Back in his room, as usual, Lu Xia Tian set up barriers around the room. He opened one of the small bottles and a golden-green mantis spirit leaped out at incredible speed. It was probably second only to Di Kun and the Thunder Steed Lu Hong among all the monsters he had ever seen. If he hadn't happened upon a few demon mantises entering a cave to feed, he wouldn't have had such a good opportunity.was set, some later immortal sects began to behave themselves.“Brother Dongfang, what happened” The fairy army of the Gui Ling Xianyu arrived at this place. Even though the Gui Ling Xianyu was insigni...
