It truly is an ill-fated entanglement...
Lu Xuan sighed inwardly.
Back when the Thunder Hǒu Beast Territory was accidentally exposed, this Golden Yao True Lord had called in quite a few favors and invited two Nascent Soul Rogue Cultivators. He had thought he could slay the aged, tottering thunder rhinoceros in one stroke, but he had not expected Lu Xuan, this Traitor of Humanity, to appear.
Lu Xuan had immediately ripened that Sixth Grade Heavenly Essence Fruit, thereby obtaining the Seventh Grade Turtle Crane Essence Elixir, letting the Azure Horn Thunder Rhinoceros extend its life by several hundred years and return to its peak. One against three, it had beaten back Golden Yao True Lord and the other two Nascent Soul Cultivators.
I wonder what this Golden Yao True Lord would think if he knew the role I played back then.
Still, at the time I was only a nameless minor cultivator, mixed in among the many cultivators who had been drawn over. I was completely inconspicuous, and might not even have left any impression on this Golden Yao True Lord.
Lu Xuan's thoughts raced. Reassured, his figure flashed, and he arrived at the entrance of the Cave Mansion.
"So it is Golden Yao True Lord. Lu is the one who has long admired you, Fellow Daoist."
"I failed to come out to welcome you from afar. I hope you will forgive me, Fellow Daoist."
Smiling, he welcomed Golden Yao True Lord into the Cave Mansion.
"Fellow Daoist Jin, this is a Spirit Brew I personally brewed, called Green Condensation Dew. Its flavor is quite good. Please have a taste."
Lu Xuan brought over Spirit Fruits and Spirit Brew, entertaining him warmly.
"You are too courteous, Daoist Lu. The Spirit Brew you make has resounded throughout all of Central Province."
