After leaving the combat area, Lu Xin randomly found a hidden place to land, and then couldn't wait to count his gains.
First was the armor. He heard the opponent call it the "Profound Yellow Armor." He took it out and invaded it with his divine sense, seeing nine Dao patterns.
According to what Lu Lei Yun said, when a Houtian Spiritual Treasure takes shape, possessing one to nine Dao patterns means it is a Houtian Low-Grade Spiritual Treasure, while possessing ten to eighteen Dao patterns means it is a Houtian Mid-Grade Spiritual Treasure.
And so on.
This Profound Yellow Armor has nine Dao patterns, indicating that it is a top-tier Houtian Low-Grade Defensive Spiritual Treasure.
"It seems this is why Luo Tianba was able to escape from the hands of a Land Immortal."
Lu Xin stroked the crack on the Profound Yellow Armor caused by the God-Smiting Ruler, and saw that most of the spiritual energy on it had also been absorbed, which he found a pity.
But there was no way around it. If he didn't break through this tortoise shell with all his strength, he wouldn't have been able to kill the opponent.
Generally speaking, among treasures of the same level, defensive spiritual treasures are often more than twice as expensive as offensive spiritual treasures, and they are also much rarer, precisely because such treasures can greatly protect one's life.
This time, he was able to shatter this Profound Yellow Armor largely due to the convenience of the God-Smiting Ruler. This ruler is truly as its name suggests, probably refined by some demon specifically to target those who follow the path of immortality. He didn't know where the Crimson Blood Demon Venerable obtained it.
Thinking of this, he took out the God-Smiting Ruler again to look at it. Although it was somewhat damaged, it still had sixteen black lines similar to Dao patterns.
Presumably, these are demon patterns, indicating that before this ruler was damaged, it was definitely more than just a Houtian Mid-Grade level.
Putting it away, Lu Xin turned his attention to the Profound Yellow Armor again. When he had invaded it with his divine sense just now, he had discovered a space inside a remote piece of armor. It seemed to be similar to the Senluo Ghost Seal, also possessing storage capabilities.
Fortunately, the crack had not affected this place. He quickly began to take stock.
Before long, he finished counting, obtaining a total of more than 53,000 Low-Grade Spirit Crystals, and several bottles of pills. He couldn't identify exactly what kind of pills they were.
In addition to the pills, he also saw some Immortal Spiritual Herbs, the most abundant of which were the Azure Profound Flowers he had originally been seeking, totaling fifty-three.
There were also some refining materials, three of which reached the Immortal Grade. To his surprise, one of them was of the fire attribute, which he could still use.
Besides these, he also found a cultivation method.
The cultivation method was the one Luo Tianba mainly practiced, called "Azure Origin Sword Chapter of Unified Qi," which could be cultivated to the Land Immortal level. It also came with two spells.
One was the "Azure Light Sword Escape," and the other was the "Yang Wood Divine Lightning Method."
Lu Xin roughly flipped through it, directly skipping the Azure Light Sword Escape and carefully examining the Yang Wood Divine Lightning Method. He hadn't expected that the other party would also know lightning techniques.
He hadn't even used it just now.
After a closer look, he realized that this lightning technique was actually a sword-based spell.
First, it had to be used in conjunction with his precious sword that he had knocked away earlier; second, it could only be used freely after reaching the Land Immortal level, which meant cultivating this technique to the highest level.
Otherwise, not only would the casting time be a bit long, but it also wouldn't be able to unleash its full power.
Lu Xin recalled that his attacks earlier were so swift and fierce that the opponent simply didn't have time to use it. Otherwise, he would have had to spend a lot of effort.
Because according to the introduction of this move, when fully unleashed, it could release a Yang Wood Divine Lightning, which belonged to wood and was most prosperous in the sun, thus containing a righteous and sharp aura, making it extremely effective against demonic and ghostly energies.
Moreover, because it belonged to wood lightning, it had the characteristics of plants. As the saying goes, "The wildfire cannot burn it out, the spring breeze blows it back to life." As long as the magic power didn't run out, it could be continuous and extremely troublesome.
"What a great Yang Wood Divine Lightning Method!" Lu Xin's eyes lit up, and he decided to integrate this cultivation method into his "True Yang Exorcising and Demon-Slaying Art" and then learn this move.
After putting it away, he took out the precious sword that had blocked his sneak attack, looked at it, and saw the four characters "Azure Light Divine Sword" engraved on the hilt. It was also a Houtian Low-Grade Spiritual Treasure with seven Dao patterns, just average.
Then he checked the extent of the damage and found that there was no damage, only a great reduction in spiritual energy, which could be restored with a little effort.
So he refined it and took it for his own use.
Before long, this sword changed masters.
After trying it out casually, Lu Xin put it away and didn't stay here any longer, planning to return to Duoyuan City.
After carefully tidying up, he walked out of the secret place he had created. After scanning with his divine sense and finding nothing unusual, he rose into the clouds and headed towards Duoyuan City.
In the blink of an eye, a day passed. Halfway there, he unexpectedly encountered Cheng Nanxun, followed by Lu Lei Yun and several other late-stage Human Immortals.
It seemed he had gone back to get reinforcements.
As soon as he saw Lu Xin, Cheng Nanxun happily said, "Daoist Zhu, it's so good that you're okay. What happened? Why are you so slow? Weren't you caught up by Luo Tianba?"
Lu Xin shook his head, "You were going too fast, I couldn't catch up. Besides, I ran in another direction for a long time, and only returned after seeing that I wasn't being chased."
Cheng Nanxun smiled awkwardly, "Well, I was in a hurry to go back and get reinforcements."
Lu Xin didn't care about this, and cupped his hands towards Lu Lei Yun and the others, "Shopkeeper Lu, you're here too. Are these also elders of our trading company?"
Lu Lei Yun withdrew her gaze from him, met his eyes, and said, "No, let me introduce you. These are the heads of several major families in Duoyuan City. They came to exterminate Luo Tianba after hearing the news."
"Is that so? Then are we still going now?"
Lu Lei Yun didn't answer, but turned to look at the family heads, "Everyone, since they weren't chased, it seems that the other party just wanted to scare people away, and now they've probably already escaped. We still need to find the Azure Profound Flowers. I wonder if you all still want to go?"
An old man next to him frowned and said, "It seems that the other party suffered no small injuries to be able to escape from the City Lord's hands. Shopkeeper Lu is right, there's no point in us going again. Since…"
Swish!
Before he could finish speaking, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared next to everyone, startling them. After seeing who it was, they immediately saluted, "We have seen the City Lord."
Lu Xin also cupped his hands.
"No need to be so polite." The man glanced at everyone, especially lingering on Lu Xin for a moment, before waving his hand.
Lu Xin naturally noticed, remaining calm on the surface but secretly becoming vigilant. At the same time, he muttered in his heart, could it be that the previous battle was seen by the other party?
But he quickly dismissed this idea, as he had changed his appearance before.
"Shopkeeper Lu is also here." A gentle smile appeared on the middle-aged man's majestic face as he looked at Lu Lei Yun.
Lu Lei Yun was expressionless and cupped her hands, "City Lord Mo must have a purpose for appearing here, right?"
"I can't hide it from you." The middle-aged man smiled, "Actually, I was just passing by and happened to hear your conversation."
Speaking of this, he turned his gaze to Lu Xin and Cheng Nanxun, "You two went to the Worry-Free Mountain Range before, and even encountered Luo Tianba?"
Cheng Nanxun thought that the other party wanted to inquire about Luo Tianba's news, so he took the initiative to reply:
"Reporting to the City Lord, we two did go to the Worry-Free Mountain Range to collect Azure Profound Flowers, and we did encounter Luo Tianba, but we successfully escaped. As for where he is now, we don't know."
"He should be dead now." Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man interjected, his words astonishing.
"Dead?" Everyone was stunned, then quickly reacted. A family head congratulated, "So that scoundrel Luo Tianba has already been executed. Then we will congratulate the City Lord in advance for winning the Iron Profound Hall reward."
"Yes, yes." The others congratulated one after another, and Lu Xin also followed suit, only Lu Lei Yun frowned in silence.
