Chapter 744: with translation of chapter title

744. Chapter 742 What good treasures are these?

Zi Xi'er looked at Lu Yuan, her eyes showing a hint of determination and resolve.

She told Lu Yuan that during her expedition in the Land of Oblivion she had learned many things, especially that when facing adversity one must persevere.

She felt that Lu Yuan approved of her displayed perseverance and tenacity, and told her that from now on he would cherish her as if she were his own daughter.

This gave Zi Xi'er's heart a little comfort.

Lu Yuan described to everyone the current state of the Lei Huo Dan Ge, saying: "Although the Lei Huo Dan Ge suffered heavy losses after being destroyed by the cult forces, we have already gotten back on our feet."

"Currently we are striving to restore cultivation resources and strengthen defensive and protective measures."

He also mentioned his importance to Feng Tianfeng, saying: "Feng Tianfeng has always been seeking like-minded comrades, hoping to jointly oppose the cult organization."

"He is our comrade-in-arms; we need to support each other."

Everyone gathered together to discuss the return of Zi Xi'er and Feng Tianfeng and their expedition experiences.

Lu Yuan asked Zi Xi'er if she felt tired or injured; she firmly shook her head.

Su Liyan then shared her own expedition experiences with her, putting her at ease.

After that, Lu Yuan displayed the formation techniques of the Lei Huo Dan Ge set up in the secret chamber of his main hall, explaining to everyone their purpose and power.

The cultivators listened with great interest, all expressing their desire to learn these profound immortal arts and hoping for a chance to cultivate in the Lei Huo Dan Ge.

When the activity reached its final segment, Zi Cui Ling suddenly burst onto the scene.

She is Zi Xi'er's sister and the clan leader of the Ziyun Clan.

Her gaze swept over and stopped at a small stall selling rare materials and treasures.

"What are these treasures?"

Zi Cui Ling asked curiously.

Lu Yuan walked over with a smile and explained: "These are treasures I just brought back from the Land of Oblivion; some are materials for cultivation enhancement, and some are treasures that can increase strength."

Zi Cui Ling couldn't help but become interested in these treasures; she examined each item one by one.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the tent, casting a soft glow.

Zi Xi'er and Feng Tianfeng sat inside the tent, a cup of hot tea on the table, the two chatting pleasantly.

"Really grateful for your care these past days."

Zi Xi'er smiled and thanked Feng Tianfeng: "Without you and Brother Lu, I might not have made it back to the camp."

Feng Tianfeng shook his head, smiling: "Miss Zi Xi'er, you're being polite."

"Your performance in the Land of Oblivion has truly made me look at you anew."

"Not only has your cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, but you have also shown strength and wisdom beyond your years."

A hint of shyness appeared on Zi Xi'er's face: "Thanks to Brother Lu's guidance and support."

When mentioning Lu Yuan, a flicker of deep feeling flashed in her eyes.

From his way of addressing her, she felt familial care and warmth.

Since learning she was not his biological daughter, her heart had felt somewhat forlorn, but Lu Yuan's care made her feel she had a family.

"Miss Zi Xi'er."

A voice came from outside the tent, interrupting their conversation.

Zi Xi'er and Feng Tianfeng both looked up, seeing Su Liyan's figure appear at the tent entrance.

"Senior Sister Su, please come in."

Zi Xi'er called out cheerfully.

Su Liyan entered the tent, smiling at Feng Tianfeng: "Junior Brother Feng, let me introduce you to some cultivators I have met during this time."

Feng Tianfeng rose, gave Su Liyan a nod: "Please advise me."

Zi Xi'er also stood up and said to Su Liyan: "Senior Sister Su, you previously mentioned that the Lei Huo Dan Ge possesses many profound immortal arts and formations."

"Could we ask you to explain them to us?"

Su Liyan smiled and nodded: "Of course."

"But we need to settle the stomach first."

"I have already had dinner prepared; outside the tent there is a small dining spot where we can eat while we talk."

The three walked out of the tent and followed Su Liyan to an elegantly arranged dining area.

Firelight flickered, and delicious aromas wafted over.

Lu Yuan and some cultivators were already waiting there; upon seeing Zi Xi'er and Feng Tianfeng arrive, they all rose to welcome them.

Su Liyan arranged their seats, then began sharing with everyone the profound immortal arts and formations of the Lei Huo Dan Ge.

The dinner proceeded very pleasantly; Zi Xi'er and Feng Tianfeng listened with great interest, their curiosity and longing for the Lei Huo Dan Ge growing even stronger.

Had Su Liyan not mentioned that the forces in the Land of Oblivion are complex, Zi Xi'er might even have wanted to go straight to the Lei Huo Dan Ge to seek instruction.

"Senior Sister, you said we have been hiding in the Land of Oblivion cultivating immortal arts without being discovered, right?"

Zi Xi'er asked Su Liyan.

Su Liyan smiled: "Miss Zi Xi'er, rest assured, the Lei Huo Dan Ge possesses a special technique that can conceal the aura of our cultivation."

"However, one must be careful not to carelessly leak personal information."

"This Land of Oblivion has complex and shifting forces; some ill-intentioned people might set their sights on you."

Su Liyan's words made Zi Xi'er and Feng Tianfeng's hearts tighten.

They were not familiar with the situation in the Land of Oblivion; this reminder was very important to them.

"Senior Sister, actually I have always been somewhat curious about you."

Zi Xi'er looked frankly at Su Liyan, her eyes revealing a desire to inquire further.

Su Liyan gave a faint smile, raised her palm, and condensed an ice-blue flower in her palm.

This is the source of my special technique.

She gently handed the flower to Zi Xi'er, "You can gain insight from it."

Zi Xi'er took the flower, only touching it briefly, and felt a cool power surge into her body.

She furrowed her brow slightly, focusing her spirit to respond to this power.

Gradually, she discovered she could sense the flowing icy chill in nature and could convert it into her own power.

This is a new sect technique!

Zi Xi'er's heart was filled with anticipation.

After dinner, everyone dispersed, and Lu Yuan brought Zi Xi'er and Feng Tianfeng back to his tent.

"Zi Xi'er, did you receive the technique Senior Sister Su gave you?"

"How does it feel?" Lu Yuan asked concernedly.

Zi Xi'er raised her head, eyes flashing with excitement: "Big Brother Lu, in the process of grasping it I felt a power I had never felt before."

"I feel this technique is very suitable for me."

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded: "Great!"

"Since you've grasped it, keep working hard on your cultivation."

He felt relieved at Zi Xi'er's progress, and also found a suitable cultivation path for her.

Soon after, Zi Xi'er began to continuously cultivate the newly learned Ice System Immortal Technique inside the tent.

She closed her eyes, focused her thoughts. The icy chill circulated within her body, turning into an invisible force. (End of chapter)
