Primordial Scripture

"The full exploration of the valley has to be postponed," the Black Robe Old Man said.

"Why? There are only a few of us here now. What if other cultivators discover this place later? Wouldn't we be wasting our time?" the Green Skirt Young Woman asked, her face filled with displeasure.

The Black Robe Old Man snorted coldly and said, "The Pills on my body are almost used up. If you are confident that you can explore to the end on your own, that's fine. I need to refine some Pills for healing and restoring Magical Power. Please, be my guest."

"So that's how it is. Then let's do this. Fellow Daoist Geng is responsible for refining Pills, and a few of us are responsible for finding some Spiritual Materials in the canyon as materials for Fellow Daoist Geng's Pill refining. After we are well prepared, we will act together. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Geng?" the Bearded Man slapped his thigh and said excitedly.

The Black Robe Old Man hesitated for a moment, then nodded under the gaze of the Bearded Man, the Blood Dwarf, and the Green Skirt Young Woman, "Very well, let's decide on that then."

"I'll carve out a cave at the entrance of the valley first. You can do your own thing. If you find any Spiritual Materials, you can send them to me." After saying that, the Black Robe Old Man flew into the mist of the valley.

Lu Xiaotian woke up groggily and found himself being carried in the mouth of a giant Black Bear like a cub. He was immediately shocked into a cold sweat and didn't even dare to breathe. If he startled the Black Bear, it would probably bite him in half with a snap of its teeth.

The Black Bear followed the Black Robe Old Man into the canyon. After about three hundred feet, the fog became thicker. Lu Xiaotian could only see things within a few dozen feet. Any further and it was just a white blur, impossible to see.

The Black Robe Old Man stopped in a relatively flat area, waved his sleeve, and shouted, "Grow!"

A small, light Golden Flying Sword shot out from his sleeve, suddenly growing from its original two inches to several feet in size.

This, this is a Flying Sword! At this moment, Lu Xiaotian was so shocked by the scene before him that he completely forgot his fear. He watched in astonishment as the Golden Flying Sword shot towards the opposite mountain wall. Like cutting tofu, it cut into the originally hard rock.

Large amounts of rock fell from the mountain wall to the ground.

"Geng Laoguai's Flying Sword is really powerful. He can easily carve out a Cave Mansion in the mountain." The Green Skirt Young Woman and the others then entered the canyon and couldn't help but change their expressions and whisper when they saw the scene before them.

"It's just a bit sharp. If it can't stab anyone, it's useless." The Blood Dwarf's tone was a bit sour.

Roar! The Black Bear growled and put Lu Xiaotian on the ground, then strode forward to dig through the rubble scattered on the ground, helping the Black Robe Old Man to open up the Cave Mansion.

Lu Xiaotian's butt hurt from the fall, but he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of offending the Black Robe Old Man who was wielding the Flying Sword. This was a method that only Immortals in legends possessed, and he had actually encountered it. When he was a Menial Laborer, he passed by the Thunder Blade Sect's training ground. Those powerful Martial Masters could split a boulder with one strike, but after several attempts, their internal force would be exhausted and they couldn't continue. But the Black Robe Old Man in front of him was using a Flying Sword, and with a wave of his hand, he could carve out a huge Cave Mansion from the mountain. He had actually encountered such a bizarre experience.

In fact, opening up a Cave Mansion was not as easy as Lu Xiaotian imagined. The Black Robe Old Man's face was covered with sweat, and he even had to sit down and rest once. But even so, the Black Robe Old Man's power was beyond Lu Xiaotian's imagination.

Training room, Pill room, spirit beast room, secret room, rest room, almost done. The Black Robe Old Man muttered, raised his hand, and the Golden Flying Sword shrank in size and disappeared into his wide sleeve.

"Come in with me."

The Black Robe Old Man glanced at Lu Xiaotian and said in a tone that would brook no argument. Lu Xiaotian had no doubt that if he said no, he would definitely be swallowed by the big Black Bear, and the majesty of the Immortal prevented him from resisting in any way. He just felt that the Black Robe Old Man's attitude was very cold, as if he didn't want anyone to get close.

"What's your name?" the Black Robe Old Man asked in a hoarse voice after bringing him into the Cave Mansion.

"My name is Lu Xiaotian."

"Well, from now on, you will follow me to learn the art of cultivation. You will do whatever I tell you to do, and don't ask too many questions. Otherwise, I will throw you out and let that Black Bear eat you bit by bit."

"I, can I learn the art of cultivation?" Lu Xiaotian was still a teenager at heart. When he heard the Black Robe Old Man's words, his face was filled with surprise. However, when he saw the Black Robe Old Man's cold eyes, his heart trembled. He immediately remembered what the Black Robe Old Man had said about not asking too many questions, and quickly nodded, "Yes, yes."

Seeing that Lu Xiaotian's reaction was not bad, the Black Robe Old Man nodded slightly. For a child of his age to be able to speak under his scrutiny, his mind was already considered good. It's just that he's so young, and he'll have to handle a lot of chores later. Without any strength, it won't work. Not to mention a boy, even a strong ordinary man would be exhausted.

The Black Robe Old Man rummaged through his Storage Bag. There were a few Cultivation Techniques inside, and he frowned. He couldn't determine the boy's aptitude yet, but it probably wasn't very good. He couldn't even determine which Spiritual Root the boy was. If he didn't have any other choice right now, the Black Robe Old Man wouldn't have brought Lu Xiaotian here.

After pondering for a moment, the Black Robe Old Man took out a Primordial Scripture, which he had snatched from the Storage Bag of a Lingxiao Palace disciple. It didn't have any requirements for which Spiritual Root it was. As for whether there would be any adverse reactions after cultivation, there was naturally no way to talk about it. He could only give it a try.

The Primordial Scripture in his hand was incomplete and could only be cultivated to the Mid Qi Refining Stage. He had already reached the Great Perfection Qi Refining Stage. Although the Primordial Scripture came from Lingxiao Palace, it was completely useless to him. It just happened to be cheap for this little brat.

"This is the Cultivation Technique for you. Keep it well. Starting tomorrow, I will teach you how to cultivate."

"Yes, yes!" Lu Xiaotian originally wanted to say thank you, but once his eyes met the Black Robe Old Man's, the thank you that had reached his throat was swallowed back down. It seemed that the other party didn't want to take him as a disciple.

The Black Robe Old Man opened up a very small stone room for Lu Xiaotian, only giving him a piece of animal skin spread on the ground and a few ordinary living utensils, and then sent Lu Xiaotian to the stone room. He himself sat cross-legged. The opening up of the Cave Mansion had consumed not only Magical Power, but also the Spiritual Sense consumed by using the Flying Sword for a long time, which needed to be restored.

Lu Xiaotian, who had arrived in the small stone room, couldn't help but feel excited. He held the Primordial Scripture in front of his chest as if it were a treasure. In the Thunder Blade Sect, he could only be a lowly Menial Laborer, doing chores such as chopping wood, feeding horses, sweeping, and boiling water every day.

But now, although this Black Robe Old Man was not easy to get along with, he could learn the Spells that only Immortals knew. In the future, he could also be like the Black Robe Old Man, wielding a Flying Sword and splitting mountains and rocks as if it were nothing. Even though the stone room only had an unknown mottled animal skin spread on the ground as a bed, Lu Xiaotian was satisfied.
