Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"That old scoundrel Tianmu acquired his skills from the ancient Shiva temple? Interesting..."

Lu Feng stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.

"Does Your Excellency still wish to interfere in the affairs of the Immortal Master?"

Seeing Lu Feng's stubbornness, Wu Yunhao couldn't help but interject, "Although I know you are Aran's friend and have no ill intentions towards the Wuyun tribe, the Immortal Master has inherited the power of the Shiva Ancient Temple, which is not something you can contend with on your own..."

"Furthermore, the Dark Cloud Tribe was able to occupy this desert oasis thanks to the Immortal Master's help. I advise you to leave as soon as possible and not get too deeply involved..."

Wu Yunhao's face remained serious.

After all, their Wuyun tribe was just a small tribe with a population of only a little over ten thousand. Even a medium-sized tribe could wipe them out in a matter of minutes, so their foundation was extremely weak.

With the Celestial Master Tianmu now in charge, their Wuyun tribe can not only permanently occupy this desert oasis, but also all the tribe members can receive the Celestial Master's blessings, ward off evil and avoid disasters, which can be described as a win-win situation.

"Don't worry, I will leave, but not now..."

Faced with Wu Yunhao's warning, Lu Feng merely grinned, then raised his hand and tapped Xiaoyu's forehead beside him. "Xiaoyu, go back and tell your parents not to come to the Dharma Propagation Conference anymore. Also, here are some pills; give them to your parents as well..."

After saying that, Lu Feng took out a small medicine bottle from his fingertip ring and put it into Xiao Yu's arms.

This container is filled with pills he usually concocts for practice. Although they are not of high grade, mostly fourth or fifth grade healing pills, they are still quite valuable to ordinary barbarian people like Xiaoyu's parents.

"Thank you, big brother! Xiaoyu understands!"

Xiaoyu reached out and accepted the small medicine bottle, a sweet smile appearing on her rosy cheeks. She carefully stuffed the bottle into her pocket, as if it were a precious treasure.

"I will not disturb you any longer. Farewell."

His gaze shifted again, and Lu Feng cupped his hands in greeting to Wu Yuncui and Wu Yunhao opposite him. The next moment, he turned and left without looking back, leaving behind only a tall and dashing figure.

"Could it be that this person has his eye on the ancient Shiva temple?"

Watching Lu Feng's tall figure gradually disappear into the distance, Wu Yunhao frowned slightly, a crazy thought suddenly forming in his mind, "First he interfered in the affairs of the Immortal Masters, and now he's actively inquiring about the Shiva Ancient Temple. Could this person truly be fearless of death...?"

"Ah Cui, do you know anything about this person's background?"

Thinking of this, Wu Yunhao couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wu Yuncui beside him, only to see that she also paused for a moment, then shook her head slightly, "I, I'm not quite sure either...!"

"I only saw it mentioned in a letter my brother sent home before. Young Master Lu is not only a once-in-a-century super genius of Falling Star Academy, but also highly regarded by many of the elders in the academy. He is no ordinary person...!"

Wu Yuncui said somewhat nervously.

"Could it be that the Dark Cloud Tribe is really about to undergo a major upheaval...!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yunhao fell silent, his heart filled with shock.

...

As night fell, inside an ordinary house on the outskirts of the Wuyun tribe.

The room was brightly lit, and a slender figure could be vaguely seen, sometimes writing with flowing strokes of the brush, sometimes lost in thought with his head down, as if he were planning something.

"Don't just stand there like that. It's windy outside at night, and girls can easily catch a cold if they're exposed to the wind too much..."

Suddenly, the slender figure raised his head slightly, looked at a corner by the window outside, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

Crunch!

The next moment, the door was slowly pushed open, and a slender figure in light blue slipped into the room. A slight blush crossed her pretty face, as if she was embarrassed to have been discovered. "Lu Feng, why aren't you asleep yet in the middle of the night...?"

"Miss Lu, aren't you awake too?"

Lu Feng glanced at Lu Xiaoxiang, whose face was slightly flushed, but said nothing, only grinning.

"I was worried because I was worried...!" Lu Xiaoxiang's voice suddenly rose.

"What are you worried about?"

"No, it's nothing! I can't sleep at night, so I can go for a walk, right?"

Lu Xiaoxiang's face suddenly flushed red, and the next moment she turned her head to look to the side, her tone somewhat unnatural.

"Miss Lu, come and take a look."

Seeing that the other party looked flustered and said one thing but meant another, Lu Feng did not point it out on the spot. He simply stepped aside to make room for her and spread out the sheepskin map in front of him in front of Lu Xiaoxiang.

"Is this... the ancient Shiva temple on the banks of the Blackwater River?"

Lu Xiaoxiang glanced at the sheepskin map in front of her, her pupils shrinking slightly, a hint of surprise appearing on her face.

The map not only accurately marked the locations of the Blackwater River and the ancient Shiva temple, but also detailed the surrounding environment, whether it was heavily guarded, and even whether there would be beast tides or natural disasters. It was crystal clear!

"Lu Feng, where did you get this map from?"

Lu Xiaoxiang still looked astonished.

"Of course, it was given to me by Brother Wu."

With another grin, Lu Feng explained unhurriedly, "Brother Wu has already inquired about it for me. Not only does the old thief Tianmu hold a Dharma propagation conference every month to absorb the faith power of many barbarians, but he also holds a sacrificial ceremony at the Shiva Ancient Temple on the banks of the Blackwater River every six months, offering various sacrifices to pray for the ancient god's blessing and to gain even greater power..."

"Coincidentally, the next sacrificial ceremony will be held in about three days."

"At that time, apart from the old thief Tianmu himself and the offerings, no other barbarians, including his disciple Wuxin, will be able to approach the ancient Shiva temple. For us, this is a golden opportunity to make our move..."

At this point, Lu Feng also raised his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture, his eyes revealing murderous intent.

After all, he refrained from taking action in public during the Dharma Propagation Conference because he was concerned for the safety of Xiaoyu, Wuyuncui, and others; he was not truly afraid of the old thief Tianmu.

"I never expected that Fellow Daoist Wu, while remaining outwardly calm, would secretly be investigating the background of that old thief, Tianmu..."

Lu Xiaoxiang nodded slightly, a hint of emotion flashing across her pretty face. "If the map and intelligence are correct, the sacrificial ceremony three days from now is indeed a good opportunity to make our move...!"

At first, she was a little puzzled as to what Lu Feng was up to in the middle of the night, staying up late. It turned out he was secretly plotting how to deal with the old scoundrel Tianmu.

"Ahem, ahem, but if we want this plan to go perfectly, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble Miss Lu a bit..."

After coughing a few more times, Lu Feng first glanced at Lu Xiaoxiang opposite him, then spoke tentatively, while a hint of unease appeared on his face.

"What?"

Lu Xiaoxiang still looked puzzled.

"The honey trap".

Seeing this, Lu Feng stopped keeping him in suspense and said in a deep voice, "Although the old thief Tianmu claims to be a celestial master, he is actually a lecherous scoundrel who can't live without wine. He is not difficult to deal with."

"At that time, all you need to do, Miss Lu, is sacrifice your looks a little and secretly pour this near-eighth-grade 'Trapping Drug' into that old thief Tianmu's wine flask, and the great undertaking will be accomplished!"
