Chapter 3: Ambushed along the way, the dangerous world of cultivating immortals!

Night fell.

Lu Yuanding led the group to rest in the wilderness.

Honestly, these spirit steeds were indeed incomparable to ordinary horses.

Lu Changsheng couldn’t ride a horse, but even after traveling for a day, he didn’t feel very tired.

“Excuse me, Patriarch Lu, how long will it take to reach Qingzhu Mountain?”

At this moment, a young man asked.

“These spirit steeds can travel a thousand li a day. At this speed, it will only take a little over half a month to reach Qingzhu Mountain.”

Lu Yuanding said this.

A thousand li a day?

A little over half a month?

Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, their expressions not looking good.

Lu Changsheng was also a bit speechless.

This was too far.

As for everyone’s unpleasant expressions, Lu Yuanding seemed not to notice.

He took out a porcelain bottle and said, “Half a month will pass quickly.”

“These are Fasting Pills. After taking them, you won’t feel hungry for a month. Here, one pill for each person.”

Saying this, he handed out one Fasting Pill to each person.

Lu Changsheng glanced at the brown, soybean-sized pill in his hand, didn’t think too much about it, and just ate it.

Now that everyone was on the ‘carriage’, even if the pill was poisonous, he had to eat it.

Besides, the Lu family had no reason to harm them.

After taking the Fasting Pills, during the rest period, several young men began to sit cross-legged and cultivate, apparently having already acquired cultivation techniques.

As for Li Feiyu, he walked to the side and practiced martial arts alone.

Through their previous conversation, Lu Changsheng knew that Li Feiyu, the young master of the Scarlet Whale Gang, was highly skilled in martial arts.

At only eighteen years old, he was already a first-class master in the martial world.

After resting for three or four hours, the group continued on their journey.

Just like this.

Amidst the monotonous journey, half a month passed.

“Cheer up, Qingzhu Mountain is just ahead.”

On the official road, Lu Yuanding, riding a spirit steed, said to the listless young men behind him.

After half a month of monotonous travel, everyone was numb and physically and mentally exhausted.

Lu Changsheng also looked listless.

In his previous life, sitting in a car for a 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 Qingzhu Mountain, everyone’s spirits lifted considerably.

These days were finally coming to an end.

The five accompanying Lu family cultivators also breathed a sigh of relief.

Their accompanying trip was also a family mission to ensure the safety of the immortal seedlings back home.

However, at this moment, abruptly.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”

Suddenly, dozens of crystal-clear, sharp ice cones shot out from the nearby soil, flying towards Lu Changsheng and the others.

“Not good, enemy attack!”

Seeing this, Lu Yuanding’s face changed drastically, and he roared.

At the same time, he extended a large hand, spread his fingers, and fireballs emitting a scorching aura flew out, intercepting the ice cones.

“Protect the immortal seedlings!”

The other five Lu family cultivators also used their techniques, with earth walls and water curtains appearing to protect Lu Changsheng and the other immortal seedlings.

However, facing so many ice cones, three immortal seedlings were still pierced by them, their chests penetrated, and they fell ‘plop’ from the spirit steeds, losing their lives.

“Is this the world of cultivation?”

Lu Changsheng watched this terrifying scene, couldn’t help but swallow, his face slightly pale.

Although he was a transmigrator, he had never seen such slaughter, neither in his previous life nor this one.

This was the first time.

At this moment, he had a clear understanding of the cruelty of the cultivation world.

“Hahahaha, Lu Yuanding, you want to take back this batch of immortal seedlings? Have you asked my Chen family?!”

From the ground, cultivators emerged.

Leading them was a tall, middle-aged man wearing a crimson robe.

“Chen Shuicheng, you dare to act so presumptuously within my Qingzhu Mountain territory!”

Staring at the crimson-robed man before him, Lu Yuanding coldly shouted.

He naturally recognized the other party.

He was the sworn enemy of their Qingzhu Mountain Lu family, the Patriarch of the Hongye Valley Chen family!

But he didn’t expect the latter to dare launch a sneak attack right at his doorstep.

However, the ambush here was indeed the best timing.

Not only were everyone tired, but their vigilance was also relaxed.

As he spoke, a yellow talisman appeared in his hand and quickly burned.

This was a communication talisman!

To request aid from the family!

“Finish them quickly, kill!”

Chen Shuicheng sneered, his lips moving slightly, and he clapped his hands forward, causing a chilling aura to burst forth, condensing into sharp ice cones that shot towards Lu Yuanding.

And the ten cultivators behind him also made their moves, attacking Lu Changsheng and the other immortal seedlings.

Their target was not to intercept the Lu family members, but the immortal seedlings!

Boom boom boom!

The two sides began to clash.

The Chen family already had more people, giving them an advantage, and with the Lu family also having to protect the immortal seedlings, they were very passive and immediately fell into a disadvantage.

“Pfft!”

Just then, a green wind blade shot over, breaking through the Lu family’s defense, and sliced the body of an immortal seedling next to Lu Changsheng into two.

Blood splattered onto Lu Changsheng, making his mind go blank.

“Be careful!”

At this moment, another wind blade broke through the defense and shot towards Lu Changsheng.

But Li Feiyu, who was nearby, was quick-eyed and quick-handed, agile in movement, and leaped up, tackling Lu Changsheng to the ground, avoiding the attack.

“Thank you, Brother Li.”

Lu Changsheng recovered his senses, his heart still pounding with lingering fear.

If Li Feiyu hadn’t tackled him just now, the wind blade would have hit him, and he would have surely died.

As a transmigrator with a system, it would truly be frustrating to die like this.

After witnessing the cruelty of this world, although Lu Changsheng was afraid, his resolve to cultivate immortality became even firmer.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak and the law of the jungle prevails, without strength, you are an ant, your life as cheap as grass!

“Wuwuwu, cultivating immortality is too dangerous, I want to go home!”

“Please let me go, it has nothing to do with me.”

“Run! Staying here is just waiting for death!”

Seeing the Lu family members fall into a disadvantage and several immortal seedlings being killed, some immortal seedlings cried and begged for mercy, while others chose to run away directly.

However.

As soon as two people ran out of the Lu family’s protective range, they were immediately killed by fireballs, wind blades, and ice cones, making those who wanted to escape dare not move.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng and the others were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, able only to pray that the Lu family would hold on.

Fortunately, not long after, sounds of breaking air rang out.

Figures were flying from Qingzhu Mountain ahead.

“Go!”

Seeing that the Lu family’s reinforcements had arrived, Chen Shuicheng didn’t hesitate, made a decisive decision, and immediately led his people to flee.

“Father, are you alright!”

At this moment, a woman wearing a snow-white dress quickly floated down from the air to Lu Yuanding’s side, her voice like a clear spring, her face full of concern.

Her appearance was exquisite, her figure slender and graceful, her white dress fluttering, revealing a small section of her round, jade-like snow-white calf, as if a celestial maiden had descended, causing the immortal seedlings who had just escaped from the gates of hell to be entranced.

Lu Changsheng wasn’t much better off.

Having experienced the impact of internet data beauties in his previous life, he thought he wouldn’t feel much amazement.

But seeing this white-clothed woman, he was stunned.

With a beautiful head and graceful eyebrows, eyes like autumn water, a high nose, lips like red clouds, and skin as fair as jade, she perfectly embodied what it meant to have bright eyes and white teeth, and skin like ice and bones like jade.

What was most captivating was the aura about the woman.

Pure and ethereal, elegant as an immortal, like a Tianshan snow lotus, standing aloof from the world.

If not for the look of concern on her face, she would simply be a fairy who didn’t eat mortal food.

“If I could marry and have children with a woman like this by joining the Lu family, let alone fifty, having a hundred wouldn’t be a problem.”

An idea popped into Lu Changsheng’s mind.

But thinking about it, he knew this was obviously impossible.

As the daughter of the Patriarch, how could she marry a ‘breeding’ son-in-law like him?

It was only possible in a dream.

“Miaoge, Father is fine, just consumed too much spiritual power.”

Lu Yuanding waved his hand at his daughter.

Lu Miaoge.

The young men in the group remembered the name of this extraordinary and stunning woman.

Lu Changsheng also remembered this name.

The other Lu family members who arrived also landed one after another. Seeing that Lu Yuanding and the others were alright, and only eight immortal seedlings had died, they didn’t pay too much attention.

Although it was a shame that eight immortal seedlings died, it wasn’t too heartbreaking.

After all, they hadn’t invested anything in these immortal seedlings yet.

Afterwards, the group safely arrived at Qingzhu Mountain.
