Chapter 275

The Rainbow Bridge is getting smaller and smaller.

Translation: "The Rainbow Bridge is getting smaller and smaller."

After Lu Xun collected all the dark energy from the Chiyan Continent, the Rainbow Bridge shrank further, and many spirit realms are no longer accessible.

Translation: "After Lu Xun collected all the Dark Energy from the Scarlet Flame Continent, the Rainbow Bridge shrank further, and many Spirit Realms could no longer be reached."

The time Blue Star spends in the Corona Nebula has entered a countdown.

Translation: "The time Lan Xing spent in the Flower Crown Nebula has entered a countdown."

At this point, the vast majority of cultivators have already returned to Blue Star.

Translation: "At this point, the vast majority of cultivators have already returned to Lan Xing."

The Southern Heaven Gate has become lively again.

Translation: "The South Heaven Gate became lively again."

Many cultivators are selling or exchanging resources here.

Translation: "Many cultivators are here selling or exchanging resources."

Many cultivators have also returned to their respective cities, joining the war to cleanse the worms and demonic seeds.

Translation: "Also, many cultivators have returned to their respective cities, joining the war to cleanse insects and demon seeds."

The number of worms and demonic seeds that have fallen onto Blue Star is considerable; without more than half a year, it's hard to completely eradicate them.

Translation: "The number of insects and demon seeds that have fallen onto Lan Xing is not small; without more than half a year, it is difficult to clean them up completely."

For a major power like the East, the cleanup speed will definitely be faster.

Translation: "As for a big country like the East, the cleanup speed will definitely be faster."

But in other places on Blue Star, the cleanup proceeds much slower.

Translation: "But cleaning up other places on Lan Xing is not that fast."

Bai Ling.

Translation: "\"Bai Ling. \""

Ah, boss, you're back!

Translation: "\"Ah, boss, you're back! \""

In the Spirit Pill Pavilion at the Southern Heaven Gate, Bai Ling saw Lu Xun and was overjoyed.

Translation: "In the Spirit Pill Pavilion on the South Heaven Gate, Bai Ling saw Lu Xun and was overjoyed."

Over these months, Bai Ling has been diligently refining pills here, and her pill-refining skill has improved rapidly.

Translation: "These past few months, Bai Ling has been painstakingly refining pills here, and her pill-refining skill has improved rapidly."

She can now refine third-grade saint-tier pills and fourth-grade heaven-tier pills.

Translation: "She can now refine third-grade Saint-tier pills and fourth-grade Heaven-tier pills."

You should know that a year ago, when she first met Lu Xun, she was only a second-grade heaven-tier pill refiner.

Translation: "You know, a year ago, when she first met Lu Xun, she was still a second-grade Heaven-tier pill refiner."

In just a little over a year, Bai Ling has made such progress.

Translation: "In just a little over a year, Bai Ling has made this much progress."

This is naturally due to her exceptional pill-refining talent, plus the effect of gradual accumulation leading to sudden breakthrough.

Translation: "This is naturally due to her exceptional pill-refining talent, together with the effect of gradual accumulation leading to sudden breakthrough."

On the other hand, it is inseparable from Lu Xun's help.

Translation: "On the other hand, it is inseparable from Lu Xun's help."

Without Lu Xun's help, even if Bai Ling possessed the Nine-turn Dan Meridian, she would struggle to refine saint-tier pills.

Translation: "Without Lu Xun's help, even if Bai Ling had the Nine-turn Elixir Meridian, she would find it difficult to refine Saint-tier pills."

After refining saint-tier pills, Bai Ling's pill-refining skill will undergo a qualitative leap, letting her understanding of the Dao of pills far surpass that of other refiners.

Translation: "And after refining Saint-tier pills, Bai Ling's pill-refining skill will undergo a qualitative leap, letting her understanding of the Dao of pills far surpass that of other pill refiners."

Therefore, Bai Ling's progress has been so great.

Translation: "Therefore, Bai Ling's progress is this great."

Bai Ling, how confident are you in refining fourth-grade saint-tier pills?

Translation: "\"Bai Ling, how confident are you in refining fourth-grade Saint-tier pills? \""

Lu Xun asked.

Translation: "Lu Xun asked."

As long as Bai Ling can refine fourth-grade saint-tier pills, we can formally establish a pill-refining consortium.

Translation: "As long as Bai Ling can refine fourth-grade Saint-tier pills, we can formally establish an alchemy group."

Boss, it's still a bit difficult, but I'll work hard.

Translation: "\"Boss, it's still a bit difficult, but I will work hard. \""

Bai Ling felt a bit discouraged.

Translation: "Bai Ling felt a bit discouraged."

For fourth-grade saint-tier, she has tried many times but still hasn't succeeded.

Translation: "Fourth-grade Saint-tier, she has tried many times but just couldn't succeed."

Don't rush; once Blue Star leaves this place, I'll personally teach you.

Translation: "\"Don't rush; after Lan Xing leaves here, I will personally teach you. \""

Really? That's great, thank you, boss.

Translation: "\"Is that right? That's great, thank you, boss. \""

Bai Ling cheered.

Translation: "Bai Ling cheered."

Has Ran Bing returned to the Qingxu Academy?

Translation: "\"Has Ran Bing returned to the Clear Void Academy? \""

After checking Bai Ling's situation, Lu Xun contacted Ran Bing and learned that she had already returned to the Qingxu Academy.

Translation: "After checking Bai Ling's situation, Lu Xun contacted Ran Bing and then learned that she had already returned to the Clear Void Academy."

This time, the demon star invasion likely targeted her.

Translation: "This time, with the Yao Xing invasion, the demon race very likely came targeting her."

As a result, because the ancient gods came, the demon star fled in disarray, naturally failing to achieve its goal.

Translation: "As a result, because the Ancient God came to kill, the Yao Xing fled in disarray, naturally failing to achieve its goal."

That ninth-realm demon emperor again regarded Lu Xun as the reincarnation of an ancient demon.

Translation: "That Nine Realms Demon Emperor again regarded Lu Xun as a reincarnation of the Gu Yao."

On Ran Bing's side, however, things are peaceful.

Translation: "As for Ran Bing's side, on the contrary, everything is peaceful."

If her formation attainment just breaks through a bit more, I should be able to set up the Nine Tribulations Demon-Sealing Formation.

Translation: "\"If her formation attainment breaks through just a bit more, I should be able to set up the Nine Tribulations Demon-Sealing Formation. \""

Lu Xun estimates that the minimum requirement for him to set up the Nine Tribulations Demon-Sealing Formation is an eighth-grade formation attainment.

Translation: "Lu Xun estimated that the minimum requirement for him to set up the Nine Tribulations Demon-Sealing Formation is an eighth-grade formation attainment."

If Ran Bing's formation attainment can break through to fifth grade, Lu Xun might be able to reach eighth grade.

Translation: "If Ran Bing's formation attainment can break through to fifth grade, Lu Xun might be able to reach eighth grade."

Then, it will be time to set up the Nine Tribulations Demon-Sealing Formation to resolve the ancient demon will within her.

Translation: "By then, it will be time to set up the Nine Tribulations Demon-Sealing Formation and resolve the Gu Yao will within her body."

However, setting up this formation still requires many materials.

Translation: "However, setting up this formation still requires quite a few things."

These materials are quite rare; gathering them all is not that easy.

Translation: "These things are quite rare; wanting to collect them all is not so easy."

Let's look again.

Translation: "\"Let's look again. \""

Taking advantage of the fact that many cultivators are still selling their harvests at the Southern Heaven Gate market, Lu Xun wandered around here alone.

Translation: "Taking advantage of the fact that there are still many cultivators on the South Heaven Gate market selling their harvests, Lu Xun wandered around here by himself."

He was delayed by the ancient gods for several months.

Translation: "He was delayed by the Ancient God for several months."

During these months, Lu Xun's harvest in dark energy has been enormous.

Translation: "These past few months, his harvest of Dark Energy has been enormous."

But in other aspects, the gains are not large.

Translation: "But in other aspects, the harvest is not large."

Fortunately, there are enough cultivators on Blue Star; a stroll around the Southern Heaven Gate let Lu Xun see many good things.

Translation: "Fortunately, there are enough cultivators on Lan Xing; a stroll on the South Heaven Gate let Lu Xun see many good things."

He decisively made a move and bought them.

Translation: "He decisively made a move and bought them."

Have you heard? In this demon star invasion, demon cultivators also took the opportunity to cause chaos; four sixth-realm demon cultivators, leading a large group of demon cultivators, set up the Nine Nether Annihilation Formation in Rong Cheng, aiming to capture all of its tens of thousands of people in one sweep.

Translation: "\"Have you heard? In this Yao Xing invasion, demonic cultivators also took the chance to cause chaos; four Six Realms demonic cultivators, leading a large group of demonic cultivators, set up the Nine Abyss Annihilation Formation in Rong Cheng, hoping to capture all the tens of thousands of people in Rong Cheng in one sweep. \""

These demon cultivators are truly ruthless; that's over ten million people.

Translation: "\"These demonic cultivators are truly ruthless; that's over ten million people. \""

What's over ten million? You've forgotten that demon cultivators once refined an entire country's thirty-plus million people into the Myriad Soul Banner.

Translation: "\"What's over ten million? You've forgotten that demonic cultivators once refined an entire country's thirty-plus million people into a Myriad Soul Banner. \""

Are you referring to the Ancestor Blood Wind?

Translation: "\"Are you referring to the Blood Wind Ancestor? \""

At a small stall set up by a cultivator, a group of cultivators gathered there to chat.

Translation: "At a cultivator's stall, a group of cultivators gathered there to chat."

These cultivators obviously just returned from the spirit realms not long ago; they completely missed the demon star invasion and are still unaware of some major events that have occurred on Blue Star.

Translation: "These cultivators obviously had just returned from the Spirit Realm not long ago; they completely missed the Yao Xing invasion and still don't know about some major events that happened on Lan Xing."

If Blue Star cannot defeat the demon star, or if it flees, they will never be able to return to Blue Star in their lifetimes.

Translation: "If Lan Xing cannot defeat the Yao Xing, or if it flees, they will never be able to return to Lan Xing in their lifetimes."

Why are you chatting off-topic? You haven't even said what happened to Rong Cheng afterward.

Translation: "\"How did you guys get off topic? You still haven't said what happened after Rong Cheng. \""

Yeah.

Translation: "\"Yeah. \""

"Yeah."

Some cultivators have successfully had their appetites whetted.

Although some information can be searched online, nothing is as interesting as this exchange.

What's more, the top trend on the Lan Xing internet now is the Ancient God.

All Lan Xing people are curious about matters related to the Ancient God.

Besides the Ancient God, too many other things have happened.

Dozens of space fortresses have been destroyed in battles with the Yao Xing.

Several smaller countries have been wiped out by the monster species.

There's too much information, too mixed.

As a result, the events that have occurred in Rong Cheng have not yet spread widely.

"Haha, you definitely wouldn't guess who dealt with these demonic cultivators."

Cultivators who know the news continue to have their appetites whetted.

"Hey Shitou, you just love keeping people in suspense."

Some cultivators are dissatisfied.

"I know, it's just Lu Xun, right?"

Some people who know the inside story have come to spoil it.

"Lu Xun? Which Lu Xun?"

"That genius from Beidou University, the one who became famous in the battle at Tong Cheng."

"Him? Impossible, these are four Six Realm demonic cultivators."

Although it's been spoiled, others still don't really believe it.

Different cultivators learn about Lu Xun through different channels and at different times.

For example, these cultivators learned of Lu Xun during the insect plague outbreak, when he rushed to support everywhere, one person with one sword defending the gap in Tong Cheng.

That video spread widely, letting many people know of Lu Xun.

Meanwhile, those who pay more attention to the talents of various academies learned Lu Xun's name after the secret realm examination ended.

These people are actually a minority.

Those who know all of Lu Xun's deeds and just how heaven-defying he is are also a minority.

Many cultivators merely know a name, not even what Lu Xun looks like, and have little interest in learning more.

People are just like that; no matter how amazing you are, what does it have to do with me?

Unless you're truly amazing to a certain extent, spreading widely online.

"Hey, don't disbelieve me, it really is Lu Xun; the videos online have spread everywhere, and many Rong Cheng people have come forward to testify."

The cultivator who first brought up the topic finished speaking and pulled out some videos.

"Hiss!"

"It really is like that!"

"Is he still in school? Is he even human..."

Those cultivators were all stunned.

"What's this? When I came back earlier, I saw even more shocking things."

At that moment, a cultivator quietly crept over and said.

"What's up?"

The other cultivators were all drawn in by interest.

After looking around, that cultivator whispered, "You know Elder Fu Yue of Beidou Hall, a Seven Realm Expert?"

Others nodded, while some looked like they didn't know.

But just those four words "Seven Realm Expert" are enough to dispel all their doubts.

They don't need to know exactly who Fu Yue is; it's enough to know that the other party is a Seven Realm Expert, an Elder of Beidou Hall.

After introducing Fu Yue, that cultivator lowered his voice again and said, "When I just came back, I saw Elder Fu Yue actually holding Lu Xun's hand, and she personally admitted that Lu Xun is her boyfriend!"

He revealed the answer.

"Hiss!"

"Lu Xun is the boyfriend of a Seven Realm Expert?"

"This... Elder Fu Yue is probably over a hundred years old; Lu Xun doesn't want to take that detour."

"What over a hundred years old? She's a Seven Realm Expert; her body is more tender than a teenage girl's. You don't know how heaven-defying she was in her youth."

The surrounding cultivators were shocked, amazed, or envious, all sorts.

"What rumors are you all spreading here?"

Suddenly, a dignified voice sounded.

The cultivators all looked and saw the other party wearing the uniform of the War Hall, a Five Realm Grand Master, and they all fell silent, then dispersed in an uproar.

"Have you heard? Lu Xun and Elder Fu Yue have gotten together."

"Real or fake?"

As those cultivators left, this news quietly spread among the cultivator groups still at the South Heaven Gate.

"Whoa??"

Lu Xun, who was shopping in the market, happened to hear a few cultivators whispering.

Lu Xun didn't expect,

that rumors would spread about him and Fu Yue.

Indeed, when Fu Yue earlier held his hand, she hadn't shielded the surroundings, and so she was seen like that.

These cultivators are at least at the Three Realms level; trivial matters simply don't attract their attention.

Now they're so gossipy.

"Fortunately, Chu Youqing knows the whole story..."

Although the gossip is spreading among the cultivators, Lu Xun isn't too worried.

Chu Youqing knows this matter, she won't be sad because of it.

I just don't know what Fu Yue will feel in her heart after she finds out.

She took this desperate measure to save him, and Lu Xun actually feels a bit embarrassed.

While feeling embarrassed, Lu Xun also has a headache.

What exactly must be done to complete the task of kissing Fu Yue, thereby binding her?
