Gaizhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wood-element spiritual vein here thrived with vitality, teeming with life as everything competed to flourish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang and True Person Yinshan rode their light-escape technique and soon landed outside the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Previously, the Primordial Saint Sect issued an order for all cultivators in Jiangbei to gather here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Person Yinshan did not disturb the mountain’s formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he took out a flying message, ignited it with his magical power, and lightly tossed it, letting it transform into spiritual light that flew into the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief moment, a graceful figure walked out from the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person had charming, water-like eyes, delicately painted brows, and a skirt that barely extended past her hips, revealing just enough to stir curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She carried a faint, intoxicating fragrance on her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the woman appeared, she bowed gracefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her posture was dignified, yet there was an undeniable allure, creating an intense contrast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lü Yang dared not be careless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman named 【Han Xiang】 was no simple figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was the current leader of 【Xiangqu Sect】 in Jiangbei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that her sect also had a late-stage Foundation Establishment True Person sitting in command, making them a notable demonic faction in Jiangbei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The two High True Persons have come from afar, why not come inside and have a chat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Xiang giggled foolishly, then took the initiative to step aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, it sounded like a simple invitation, but the tone seemed to carry another implication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, who was Lü Yang?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always prided himself on having a heart of iron, immune to female charms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he be affected by such fox-like seduction?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately put on a serious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you alone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang scanned with his divine sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his surprise, the vast Mount Gaizhu seemed to have only Han Xiang present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where were the other Foundation Establishment True Persons summoned by the Saint Sect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting to Lord, they have gone elsewhere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Xiang revealed a somewhat awkward expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They heard that High True Persons from the Saint Sect were arriving and that a great battle was imminent, so they went to conduct some private trades.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang was stunned for a moment before realizing the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who managed to make a name for themselves under the rule of the Saint Sect, becoming a Foundation Establishment True Person, surely had a few hidden trump cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, they would have some unused items as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the great battle approaching, they needed to find ways to exchange those useless items for combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lü Yang was still puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shouldn’t such matters be conducted here at Mount Gaizhu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, if our Saint Sect hosted it, wouldn’t the trading efficiency be much higher?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Han Xiang slightly parted her red lips but remained speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Person Yinshan beside them also seemed to realize something, showing a strange expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, Lü Yang heard True Person Yinshan’s voice transmission:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother, you may not know this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Due to the nature of our Saint Sect, we are not very trusted by others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And such trades inevitably require revealing some real treasures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang immediately understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why wouldn’t they let the Saint Sect host the trades and instead conduct them privately?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because they feared that the True Persons of the Saint Sect might covet their goods and forcefully seize them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking even further, there might have been incidents where Saint Sect True Persons disguised their identities, ambushed the traders, and later blamed it on external enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have we done such things before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Absolutely not!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Person Yinshan declared with absolute confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang immediately caught the underlying meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They definitely had!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And likely more than once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this realization, Lü Yang couldn’t help but feel helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had underestimated the shamelessness of the Saint Sect’s True Persons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could these beasts act like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are they trading?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take me there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Han Xiang immediately showed a troubled expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lü Yang’s expression turned serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not misunderstand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, Lü Yang, am different from the other True Persons of the Saint Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would never do such things as ambushing traders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve already thought of it, and you’re telling me you won’t do it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with the words already spoken this far, how could she dare refuse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Living under the Saint Sect’s rule is like walking on thin ice...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Xiang secretly cursed in her heart but dared not show any sign of it on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could only sigh and say:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Allow me to lead the High True Person there now, I hope the High True Person will not take offense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lü Yang slightly curled his lips into a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Previously, I obtained a few magical tools overseas that are useless in my hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It would be better to trade them away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not only can this enhance the combat strength of Jiangbei’s cultivators, but it can also help me exchange for some more useful treasures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Han Xiang’s beautiful eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, magical tools from the Saint Sect, even if useless to Lü Yang, would still be treasures to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, Mount Gaizhu still needs a True Person to guard it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll stay here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Person Yinshan volunteered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuan Tu, you go with her, leave this place to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Then I’ll trouble Senior Brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang exchanged a glance with True Person Yinshan, as if they had reached some agreement, and then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short while later, in a forest outside 【Kingdom of Qing】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang and Han Xiang both used their light-escape techniques, concealing their figures, and landed in the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They finally stopped in front of a cave, releasing their auras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw several figures already gathered inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rough count showed more than ten people, all looking toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, everyone had concealed their auras and appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, they did not intend to reveal their identities at this trading meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the major forces in Jiangbei could not possibly be united.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the summoned Foundation Establishment True Persons, there were even those with deep-seated grudges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, they dared not act too openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, anonymity made it easier to offload stolen goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this regard, Jiangbei’s cultivators had clearly been influenced by the Saint Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all cunning and crafty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this actually made it easier for Lü Yang to blend in.ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI-Fire.ɴet\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The time has come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a low shout, a yellow earth-colored light shone in the center of the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old man with white hair and white robes emerged from the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost at the same time, Han Xiang transmitted her voice to Lü Yang, introducing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This person is called 【Fishing Dragon Elder】.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is a rogue cultivator from Jiangbei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He likely obtained the inheritance of a great sect or had some other fortuitous encounter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thus, he is also at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He was the first to propose this trading event.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lü Yang narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the Foundation Establishment True Persons present, only this Fishing Dragon Elder did not conceal his appearance or aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This showed that he had full confidence in his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was completely fearless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, they saw Fishing Dragon Elder smile slightly in the center of the venue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since this trading event was proposed by this old man, I shall begin first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next second, the temperature in the cave suddenly rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rolling blood energy spread like a blazing sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mighty and ferocious Flood Dragon corpse appeared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some time ago, a True Lord of the Saint Sect was fighting overseas, causing chaos there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This old man had some luck and managed to fish up a Flood Dragon at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Its tendons and bones can be used to refine treasures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Its blood can be used to enhance yang energy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s even half a dragon horn…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This old man only seeks one bottle of lifespan-extending spiritual pill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were just ordinary lifespan-extending pills, many here had them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what Foundation Establishment True Persons referred to as lifespan extension actually meant methods to counteract the “Bifeng.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the Wind-Avoiding Pill once gifted by the Head of Mending Heaven Peak to Arhat Fulong was such a treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, that seemed to be the personal fortune of the Peak Head, unrelated to the peak itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, after Lü Yang took over Mending Heaven Peak, he did not obtain the pill or its formula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, a light suddenly flashed at the original spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the light faded, the Flood Dragon corpse Fishing Dragon Elder had displayed vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear someone had completed the trade with him in secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using light to conceal the trade obviously indicated they did not want others to know who had obtained the treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, more Foundation Establishment True Persons stood up to trade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The items they presented were diverse, including spiritual treasures, pills, and cultivation methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Han Xiang participated once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what left Lü Yang speechless was that Han Xiang disguised herself as a burly man during her trade, with an incredibly rough voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was such caution really necessary?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, another light shone in the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A youthful-looking, yet old-mannered Dao Child stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another one who did not conceal their appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s the Sect Master of Treasure-Distributing Cliff, the mid-stage Foundation Establishment True Person known as Multi-Treasure Dao Child!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He actually came as well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s a fat sheep… even Saint Sect True Persons have robbed him before!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, many Foundation Establishment True Persons stared at him intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when the Dao Child looked back, most of them didn’t dare meet his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, most present were at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was already quite intimidating to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Lü Yang narrowed his eyes at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Interesting.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the Dao Child, who radiated treasure light from head to toe, as if the words “Big Target” were written on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Lü Yang revealed a bright smile.\u003C\u002Fp>",1730,"2026-06-06T16:06:03.280Z",1,"novelbin.me","bd10ee8aca52c6fa9c07022b751add7f8d31bf0f47e8ee49b028ca7857976cd1","struggling-to-survive-with-regression-power-in-t-chapter-205","struggling-to-survive-with-regression-power-in-t-chapter-203",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstruggling-to-survive-with-regression-power-in-t-cover.jpg"]
