......
One day later, deep into the night.
Lu Yi and his two companions settled in a barren area, where Bai Yulong gathered some wood to ignite a bonfire. Then, he and Jiang Fan sat down together, both looking expectantly at Lu Yi.
Seeing their expectant expressions, Lu Yi smiled helplessly, "Let's have Tiger Bone Spirit Ginseng Soup."
Bai Yulong chuckled happily, "Junior Brother Lu, I've been living on this soup from you! The soups I had at the Royal Palace these past few days really leave much to be desired."
Jiang Fan, too, rarely swallowed, nodding, "Not only is Junior Brother Lu's talent in cultivation extraordinary, but I also didn't expect his talent for Spirit Food Cooking to far exceed that of ordinary people. In just a few months, Junior Brother Lu's Tiger Bone Spirit Ginseng Soup has already shown such effects."
Lu Yi smiled, "It's a pity that I've only mastered this one Spirit Food Formula. If I had more, I could cook a variety of Spirit Foods."
With that said, Lu Yi served the Tiger Bone Spirit Ginseng Soup and handed bowls to the two of them.
"This one kind is already quite impressive since it can enhance the speed of Body Refinement," Bai Yulong remarked.
"Bai Yulong is right; my Body Refining Techniques have now reached Small Success, and Junior Brother's soup has played a major role in this achievement," Jiang Fan nodded.
Lu Yi chuckled, "Drink it while it's hot."
The two didn't stand on ceremony. During this time, Lu Yi had occasionally made them special meals, and they were grateful, keeping it in their hearts. They bent down to drink without hesitation.
Just then, Lu Yi paused, turning his attention to his left.
In that direction lay the profound night, where stars twinkled, their light illuminating the desolate ground clearly.
Jiang Fan, noticing Lu Yi's expression, frowned slightly, asking, "Junior Brother, what's wrong?"
Lu Yi's face slowly became serious, he replied, "Someone's coming."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yulong also put down his soup and looked in the direction Lu Yi was staring.
At that moment, a violent aura came from afar, closing in on them with great speed.
The aura was extremely strong, causing both Jiang Fan and Bai Yulong's faces to change dramatically, while even Lu Yi frowned.
Damn it, could their luck really be this bad?
Encountering a powerful individual while on a task? Moreover, judging by the aura, it seemed to be a devil cultivator, possibly even from their own ranks.
Jiang Fan uttered a low command, "Run!"
In an instant, the three transformed into streaks of light, dashing toward the distance.
However, the violent aura was too fast, far outpacing them. In just a short time, a blood-colored streak flashed by, landing right in front of them.
The trio quickly stopped, warily eyeing the figure that had appeared.
It was a middle-aged man with a sullen expression, wearing a blood-colored robe and emitting an intensely strong stench of blood.
This familiar stench of blood hurriedly brought to Lu Yi's mind those devil cultivators from Mohe Country from before.
It was very similar, yet far more intense.
Lu Yi felt numb all over.
Wasn't it said that those devil cultivators were just ordinary?!
What was going on with this guy?
Bai Yulong, pale, squeezed out a few words through clenched teeth, "Foundation Establishment Peak?!"
Jiang Fan, too, furrowed his brows tightly, his face looking troubled, "This guy's aura is exactly like that of the devil cultivator..."
The middle-aged man's gaze swept over the three of them, his gloomy face revealing a cold smirk, "Run? Go ahead, keep running?!"
Bai Yulong spoke up, "Senior, we are Inner Sect Disciples of White Cloud Sect, and our elders, our masters, are all powerful Golden Core and Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. If you do anything to us, our elders will not let you off!"
The middle-aged man spoke languidly, "What of White Cloud Sect? As long as it's done cleanly, who would know it was me?"
He exuded a circulation of blood energy around him, locking down the space around the trio as he continued slowly, "Why did you have to meddle? Do you know how difficult it is to create a Blood Puppet? It took me two hundred thirty years to make just three Blood Puppets, and yet you dared to kill one?!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man took a step forward, his aura growing stronger. Jiang Fan's expression changed and a talisman appeared in his hand. Seeing this, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and continued, "Do you also realize that with one less Blood Puppet, it will take even longer for me to gather Blood Essence and break through to the Golden Core..."
"Three mere Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators dare to cause me such losses?! Regardless of whether you're White Cloud Sect disciples, today, you will die!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man reached out towards them, a flow of blood fog surged, rushing towards the trio. Jiang Fan's face changed and he spread the talisman in his hand. It transformed into a curtain of water that enveloped all three of them.
Boom!!
The blood fog collided with the water curtain, creating a thunderous sound, making the water curtain ripple, yet successfully blocking the attack.
Jiang Fan said, "This Water Curtain Talisman won't hold for long!"
Bai Yulong's face looked terrible as he asked, "What do we do?"
Only Lu Yi remained calm, and inside, he was even a bit bewildered.
He had discovered a very serious problem.
The Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator in front of them should have been very strong, but he couldn't feel any sort of threatening aura at all?
What the hell?
Had he become this powerful already, capable of fighting a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator?
Lu Yi was somewhat uncertain; wasn't he getting a little too full of himself?
