Night fell.
Lu Yuanding led the group to rest in the wilderness.
It must be said that these Spiritual Steeds were indeed incomparable to ordinary horses.
Lu Changsheng did not know how to ride a horse, but after traveling all day, he did not feel very tired.
"Excuse me, Patriarch Lu, how long will it take to reach Green Bamboo Mountain?"
At this moment, a young man asked.
"These Spiritual Steeds travel a thousand miles a day. At this speed, we will arrive at Green Bamboo Mountain in just over half a month."
Lu Yuanding said this.
A thousand miles a day?
Over half a month?
Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, their expressions looking rather unpleasant.
Lu Changsheng was also speechless.
That was too far.
Lu Yuanding seemed not to notice their unpleasant expressions.
He took out a porcelain bottle and said, "Half a month will pass quickly."
"This is a Grain Abstinence Pill. After eating it, you won't feel hungry for a month. Here, one pill for each person."
Saying that, he distributed one Grain Abstinence Pill to everyone.
Lu Changsheng glanced at the soybean-sized brown Medicinal Pill in his hand, did not think too much, and swallowed it immediately.
Now that they were already on the road, even if the pill was poisonous, he still had to eat it.
Besides, the Lu Family had no reason to harm them.
After finishing the Grain Abstinence Pill, during the rest period, several young men began to sit cross-legged and Cultivate, clearly having already obtained a Cultivation Technique.
Meanwhile, Li Feiyu walked to one side and practiced martial arts alone.
Through previous conversations, Lu Changsheng knew that Li Feiyu, the Young Master of the Red Whale Gang, possessed high martial arts skills.
At only eighteen years old, he was already a first-rate expert in the Jianghu.
After resting for three or four hours, the group continued their journey.
Just like that.
Half a month passed amidst the monotonous journey.
"Cheer up! Green Bamboo Mountain is just ahead."
On the main road, Lu Yuanding, who was riding a Spiritual Steed, said this to the dispirited youths behind him.
After half a month of tedious travel, everyone was numb, both physically and mentally exhausted.
Lu Changsheng also looked weak and listless.
In his previous life, sitting in a car for just one day made his whole body uncomfortable.
Let alone riding a horse for half a month.
Hearing Lu Yuanding's words that they were about to reach Green Bamboo Mountain, everyone's spirits lifted considerably.
This ordeal was finally coming to an end.
The five accompanying Lu Family Cultivators also breathed a sigh of relief.
Their accompanying trip was a Family mission, tasked with ensuring the safety of the Immortal Sprouts until they reached home.
However, at this very moment, something abrupt occurred.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
Dozens of sharp, crystalline ice cones suddenly burst out of the nearby soil, shooting towards Lu Changsheng and the others.
"Not good, enemy attack!"
Seeing this, Lu Yuanding's expression changed drastically, and he roared in anger.
At the same time, he extended his large hand, spread his five fingers, and fiery hot fireballs flew out, intercepting the ice cones.
"Protect the Immortal Sprouts!"
The other five Lu Family Cultivators also used their methods, creating earthen walls and water screens to shield Lu Changsheng and the other Immortal Sprouts.
However, facing so many ice cones, three Immortal Sprouts were still pierced through the chest, falling 'plop' from their Spiritual Steeds, losing their life force.
"So this is the Immortal Realm."
Lu Changsheng watched this terrifying scene, couldn't help but swallow, his face slightly pale.
Although he was a Transmigrator, he had never witnessed such slaughter, neither in his previous life nor this one.
This was the first time.
At this moment, he gained a clear understanding of the cruelty of the Immortal Cultivation World.
"Hahaha, Lu Yuanding, did you ask my Chen Family if you could take this batch of Immortal Sprouts back!"
One Cultivator after another burst out of the ground.
Leading them was a tall, middle-aged man wearing a crimson robe.
"Chen Shuisheng, how dare you act presumptuously within the territory of my Green Bamboo Mountain!"
Staring at the crimson-robed man before him, Lu Yuanding shouted coldly.
He naturally recognized the other party.
It was the sworn enemy of their Qingzhu Mountain Lu Family, the Patriarch of the Chen Family of Red Leaf Valley!
But he hadn't expected the latter to dare launch a sneak attack right on their doorstep.
However, setting up an ambush here was indeed the best timing for the opponent.
Not only were the people tired, but their vigilance was also lax.
As he spoke, a yellow Talisman appeared in his hand and quickly burned away.
This was a message-transmitting Talisman!
Calling for aid from the Family!
"A quick battle, kill!"
Chen Shuisheng sneered, his lips moving slightly, and clapped his hands forward, causing chilling air to condense into sharp ice cones that shot toward Lu Yuanding.
The ten Cultivators behind him also took action, rushing toward Lu Changsheng and the other Immortal Sprouts.
Their target was not to intercept and kill the Lu Family members, but the Immortal Sprouts!
Boom boom boom!
The two sides began to clash.
The Chen Family already had more people and held the advantage. Furthermore, the Lu Family had to protect the Immortal Sprouts, making them very passive, and they immediately fell into a disadvantage.
"Pfft!"
Just then, a green wind blade shot over, breaking through the Lu Family's defense and slicing the body of an Immortal Sprout beside Lu Changsheng into two pieces.
Blood splattered, splashing onto Lu Changsheng's body, causing his mind to go blank.
"Be careful!"
At that moment, another wind blade broke through the defense and shot toward Lu Changsheng.
But Li Feiyu, who was nearby, was quick-witted and agile. He leaped up, tackled Lu Changsheng to the ground, and avoided the strike.
"Thank you, Brother Li."
Lu Changsheng recovered, his heart still pounding with lingering fear.
If Li Feiyu had not tackled him just now, the wind blade would have struck him, and he would certainly have died.
As a Transmigrator who even possessed a System, dying like this would truly be frustrating.
After witnessing the cruelty of this world, although Lu Changsheng was afraid, his desire to Cultivate Immortality became even firmer.
In this world governed by the Law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, lacking power meant being an ant, with a life as worthless as grass!
"Wuwuwu, Immortal Cultivation is too dangerous, I want to go home!"
"Please let me go, this has nothing to do with me."
"Run! Staying here is just waiting to die!"
Seeing the Lu Family members fall into a disadvantage and several Immortal Sprouts being killed, some Immortal Sprouts cried loudly and begged for mercy, while others chose to flee immediately.
However.
As soon as the two ran out of the Lu Family's protective range, they were immediately killed by fireballs, wind blades, and ice cones, causing those who wanted to escape to freeze.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng and the others were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, only able to pray that the Lu Family would hold on.
Fortunately, before long, sounds of rushing through the air rang out.
Figures were flying over from Green Bamboo Mountain ahead.
"Go!"
Realizing that the Lu Family's reinforcements had arrived, Chen Shuisheng did not hesitate, making a decisive move to lead his people and flee immediately.
"Father, are you alright?"
At this moment, a woman wearing a snowy white dress quickly floated down from the air beside Lu Yuanding, her voice like flowing spring water, her face full of concern.
Her features were exquisite, her figure slender and graceful. The hem of her white dress fluttered, revealing a small section of her snow-white calves, smooth as jade. She looked like a celestial maiden descending to the mortal world, causing the Immortal Sprouts who had just escaped death to lose themselves in a daze.
Lu Changsheng was no better off.
Having been exposed to the overwhelming data of beautiful women online in his previous life, he thought he wouldn't feel much amazement.
But seeing this white-robed woman, he was stunned.
With a beautiful head and arched eyebrows, eyes like autumn water, a high nose, lips like cinnabar, and skin as fair as jade, she perfectly embodied the phrases "bright eyes and white teeth" and "icy skin and jade bones."
What was most captivating was the aura surrounding the woman.
She was pure and refined, elegant and ethereal, like a Tianshan snow lotus, standing alone, detached from the world.
If not for the look of concern on her face, she would have been a fairy who did not eat the food of mortals.
"If I could marry into the Lu Family and have children with a woman like this, forget fifty, having a hundred wouldn't be a problem."
A thought surfaced in Lu Changsheng's mind.
However, he knew immediately that this was clearly impossible.
As the Patriarch's daughter, how could she marry a 'breeding' son-in-Law like them?
It could only happen in a dream.
"Miaoge, your father is fine. It's just that my spiritual power consumption was too great."
Lu Yuanding waved his hand at his daughter.
Lu Miaoge.
The young men memorized the name of this pure and stunning woman in their hearts.
Lu Changsheng also remembered this name.
The other Lu Family members who rushed over also landed, and seeing that Lu Yuanding and the others were fine, and only eight Immortal Sprouts had died, they didn't pay too much attention.
Although it was a pity that eight Immortal Sprouts had died, it wasn't enough to cause too much heartache.
After all, they hadn't invested any resources into these Immortal Sprouts yet.
Subsequently, the group safely arrived at Green Bamboo Mountain.
