The slender woman, whose form was shaped like a lotus flower, naturally noticed the rift between Lu Xia Tian and the middle-aged Taoist nun and the old man in black robes. She subtly began to speak to Lu Xia Tian more frequently.

Lu Xiaoxiao also quickly sensed this, secretly smiling. This Zhulian, though he had cultivated to a certain level, when it came to plotting and scheming, he was still inferior to those immortals who came from the outside world. As soon as the other party spoke, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged Taoist nun and the black-robed elder, clearly already showing some alertness. The fact that they didn't speak up to stop the frail woman from speaking more might not necessarily mean they had no intention of letting her say a few more words.

Often, words spoken casually reveal hidden secrets.

“Are there any monsters in this lotus pond that have reached their level of power?” Lu Xiaoteng asked.

"Of course there are, but the other party is elusive and often changes locations between different Lotus Islands. Those as powerful as several of you immortals are ultimately just a minority." The frail woman said.

Lu Xiaoxian asked some more questions about Zhulian. The entire lotus sea was a sight to behold, with vast swathes of lotus leaves forming an ocean-like expanse, their qi blending together seamlessly. There were also many lotus pods of various heights and sizes scattered throughout. However, in this state of unified qi, it was impossible to discern which lotus pod was older, even for someone as skilled as Lu Xiaoxian. Even with his divine sense reaching out a bit farther, he could only see through a veil of mist, unable to fully distinguish the age of each lotus pod.

If it were so easy to identify, I reckon those lotus-eating demons would have gobbled us all up by now.

At this point, Lu Xiaotian was also very interested in Zhu Lian. The other party could to a certain extent ignore the harsh conditions of the wind and rain ferry, and the lamp oil refined by Lianzi could greatly help outsiders who came from outside to alleviate these circumstances.

Though the middle-aged Daoist nun did not use a Qinglian Lantern, Lu Xia Tian clearly sensed that her methods also contained the breath of lotus cleansing. Apparently, she was also using what was readily available.

Even when they had reached their level of cultivation, finding lotus seeds with a sufficient age was an extremely tedious task. The three of them spent half a month in this vast sea of lotuses before each gathering three to five lotus seeds that were over ten thousand years old.

Even the old man in black robes couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when they returned to the ground.

After a short rest, the old man in black took out a small black furnace and began to refine the lamp oil.

As for the middle-aged Daoist nun, she directly refined the lotus seeds into spirit liquid, adding several kinds of fairy herbs that had already been prepared. The refining methods were different, but they all aimed to be able to travel freely under the raging storm of the Wind and Rain Passage.

Lu Xia tian also collected four, each with twelve lotus seeds. After seeing the actions of the middle-aged Taoist nun and the black-robed old man, Lu Xia tian sat down on his own and directly took out his alchemy furnace.

"Master Dongfang, please don't waste these lotus seeds lightly. The refinement of this lamp oil is different from ordinary alchemy. It requires extremely strong Xian Yuan to be poured into it. It's not something that a celestial being below the Heavenly Immortal level can easily refine." The black-robed elder hurriedly reminded him.

"It looks much simpler than alchemy. I'll give it a try. If the first few batches fail, I'll just leave the rest of the lotus seeds to you two."

Lu Xiaotian had dozens of lotus seeds in his hand. Even if he used up a few, it wouldn't be a big problem. The old man in black robe heard him say so and stopped questioning anything. Wasting a few could make Lu Xiaotian suffer a small loss, and recognizing that within this fairy-demon battlefield, he could only rely on him and the middle-aged Taoist nun to survive seemed like a better outcome.

Seeing that Lu Xiaoteng had failed twice in a row, the old man in black couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. The middle-aged Daoist nun also watched coldly. At this time, what Lu Xiaoteng was refining was spiritual liquid, which could be swallowed directly and combined with the immortal yuan in the body to use a certain defensive supernatural power. In this way, he could withstand the violent wind and rain in the Wind and Rain Crossing.

The middle-aged Taoist priestess and the old man in black robes obtained the inheritance of the Xingji tribe. They had experience passed down from when the Xingji tribe appeared on the battlefield between immortals and demons, a general route guide, and most importantly, the thin woman. After enduring many hardships to reach Zhuo Lian Island, they went through countless attempts before being able to refine the lamp oil or spirit liquid.

Lu Xia Tian has only just arrived at Zhulian Island, and he dares to think he can refine these few lotus seeds! What a fool's dream.

Both of them shared this thought, but after a strange fragrance drifted from Lu Xiaoteng's dan furnace, the middle-aged Taoist nun and the black-robed elder, even the frail woman transformed from Zhulian, couldn't help but change their expressions.

Whoa! A huge whirlpool surged in the lotus sea, and a crimson-green fish head emerged from the water. Its eyes were cold and fiery, staring intently at the people on shore. The icy killing intent was directed at Lu Xiaitian and his companions. As outsiders, if it weren't for the powerful strength of the middle-aged Taoist priestesses, he would have already made a move to kill them all.

The intense heat was naturally directed towards the furnace in front of Lu Xiaotian. However, being alone, he didn't dare to act rashly when facing several powerful individuals.

“You actually managed to refine it with the Eastern Dan Saint’s method! How did you do that?” The black-robed elder exclaimed in astonishment. Beneath his distraction, a surge of flames erupted from the small furnace before him, turning the carefully crafted lamp oil to ash. However, the black-robed elder wasn't overly saddened at this moment. After all, he had plenty of lotus seeds on hand, and the spiritual liquid refined by Lu Xia Tian was much better in quality than that of the middle-aged Daoist nun. If he could get him to refine lamp oil, it would naturally be twice the result with half the effort.”

His cultivation method differed from that of the middle-aged Daoist nun. While ordinary spiritual liquid could be used by her, the old man in black robes couldn't and had to rely on the Lotus Washing Lamp as a substitute. However, if the spiritual liquid reached a certain level, things would be different. Both he and the middle-aged Daoist nun needed to refine it separately, which was time-consuming and laborious. Moreover, under such a treacherous environment, they couldn't afford to consume too much energy, lest they unwittingly encounter some unknown risks.

If it were Lu Xia Tian who was involved, the risks associated with him and the middle-aged Taoist nun would naturally be minimized to the lowest level.

As for the frail woman transformed from Zhu Lian, she was also trembling all over at this moment, her eyes fixed on Lu Xiaotians dan furnace. This level of spirit liquid was equally beneficial to a frail woman who had undergone transformation. It's just a pity that she could only think about it now, such a treasure was impossible for her to obtain.

"Fellow Daoist, please retreat. If you get too close, it might cause misunderstanding from others," the middle-aged Taoist nun said coldly to the fish head that emerged from the water. Though she couldn't fight him underwater, once he got onto land, it would be a different story altogether.
