Ling Xiao had also completely absorbed the medicinal efficacy of the 100-year Nine Dragon Quenching Origin Pill in his body as his cultivation base had broken through.
This time, he had completely absorbed it and had to find new materials to refine new elixirs.
"Now you understand why Master brought you out. Only battles that challenge your limits can stimulate your body and allow you to break through your limits. If you just stay in the sect, you will be like a small flower under the shade of a tree. You simply won't be able to grow."
The Yuan Venerate's voice was heard once again.
Ling Xiao nodded. "Disciple will remember Master's words. Disciple has indeed benefited greatly from the continuous battles over the past few days."
In the past, most of the battles had been one-on-one or one-on-many battles in the arena.
True combat experience simply couldn't be honed.
However, the battles over the past few days had been completely different.
The Dragon Submission Mountain Range was a very complicated place. Not only did one have to face enemies, but they also had to face dire beasts that could appear at any time. Everything had to be done carefully.
He opened his eyes, stood up, and began to observe the situation in the cave.
Previously, he had only taken a few casual glances because he had been in a hurry to cultivate. Now that he took a closer look, the cave was actually quite beautiful.
The light-absorbing array in the cave was new, so it had probably been set up by the Yuan Venerate.
It seemed like someone had lived here before. However, this person's fate hadn't been too good, as Ling Xiao saw a dried corpse lying on the bed.
That was a dried corpse that had already had its blood sucked dry. Perhaps it was precisely because it was dry that the corpse hadn't rotted.
What exactly had happened here?
Could this person have been a resident of Green Valley?
Or could it have been a martialist who had mistakenly entered?
"That fellow was a ninth-level Transcendent Realm martialist who had his blood sucked dry. The most frightening thing was that he wasn't injured while he was alive. In other words, the person who attacked him was much stronger than him. Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill him in such a manner."
The Yuan Venerate's words made Ling Xiao's hairs stand on end.
It was no wonder it was rumored that only Sky Humans dared to explore the Thousand Ghost Forest. Martialists of other cultivation bases would definitely be courting death if they came. Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, this was indeed the case.
"Master, why did you ask me to come to the Thousand Ghost Forest?"
"There are two reasons. The first is to continue searching for materials to refine the Hundred Year Nine Dragon Quenching Origin Pill. Before returning to the Sect, you must raise your cultivation to the Transcendent Realm Sixth Layer, which is the so-called Fusion Stage! At that time, even if you exhale, you will have the force of ten thousand jin! "
"The second reason is to investigate the secrets of the Forest of a Thousand Ghosts. I forgot to tell you, but this is a level-10 mission from the Yuehua School. In other words, only Sky Man Realm experts are qualified to accept this mission. After you complete it, go back and do Wanghan Tianzun a favor and ask him to help you find the 'Dragon Emperor Protective Art'!"
Dragon Emperor's Protective Art!
Ling Xiao did not forget that this was a defensive martial art that Master Bai Yun had taught him before he entered Yuehua School. Although it was of the same origin as the Nine Transformation Golden Body Technique and the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body, it was of a higher grade.
Now, Ling Xiao felt that his Heavenly Dragon Golden Body seemed to have stagnated after reaching the fifth level.
He suspected that the key to solving this problem was in the Dragon Emperor Protective Art.
However, the problem was that he had not found this martial art in the inner sect's Moonlight Tower. He had once told his master, Yuan Venerate, about this.
He had not expected that his master would still remember it.
"As long as I get first place in the pagoda ascension ceremony, I will be able to become the disciple of the Moon Lady. Wouldn't it be easier to obtain the Dragon Emperor Protective Art then?"
To be honest, Ling Xiao did not think that Wanghan Tianzun would be able to obtain the Dragon Emperor Protective Art. Although Wanghan Tianzun's status in the Yuehua School wasn't low, it was obviously inferior to the Moon Lady.
"Do you really think you can get first place?"
Yuan Venerate asked.
"How can I, Ling Xiao, survive if I don't even have this much confidence?"
Ling Xiao's confidence stemmed from his powerful Mountain River Martial Soul, as well as the Ancient Golden Dragon hidden within it.
His confidence wasn't arrogance. It was based on his own strength.
"Alright, since you feel that way, don't investigate the Forest of a Thousand Ghosts anymore. Focus on cultivating. When your cultivation reaches the sixth-level Transcendent Realm, it should be almost time for us to return to the Yuehua School," Yuan Venerate said after some thought.
"Since we're here, why don't we go?
"Since I'm already here, how can I not do it? I might as well do some investigation. After all, I owe the Great Frost Skylord a favor. It's good enough to return a favor to her. Moreover, I don't think she would pay me a favor. She has to give me something."
Ling Xiao chuckled.
"You little brat, you're really good at scheming. However, during your cultivation, don't forget your Alchemy and Alchemy skills. You'll have to refine all the pills yourself. Next, I'm going to teach you a few of the simpler methods of making 'secret scrolls'. After you kill the Ferocious Beasts, you can extract the Divine Text and use the Alchemy Method to integrate it into the scrolls."
Yuan Venerate chuckled.
"Mystic technique scrolls?"
Ling Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard this.
The mystic technique scrolls that Zhan Liu and the other two fellows had used had really opened his eyes.
Furthermore, no one in the Sky Dragon Continent knew how to refine them. In other words, once Ling Xiao learned how to refine them, he wouldn't have to worry about money in the future.
Over the next two days, Ling Xiao allowed his main body to consolidate his cultivation base while creating two Sword Soul Clones. One continued to cultivate the Nine Meridian Aura Sword while the other followed the Yuan Venerate to learn how to create mystic technique scrolls.
Speaking of which, the process of creating mystic technique scrolls was actually quite simple.
There were three main types of materials.
Firstly, the materials used to draw the Holy Text could be cloth, animal skin, tree leaves, paper, and so on. Different materials would naturally have different effects. The best materials were naturally materials with special attributes. Ling Xiao chose animal skin for this purpose.
In any case, there were many dire beasts in the Forest of a Thousand Ghosts for the time being. Just killing one would be enough for a long time.
Second, the divine text. This was also the most crucial material. The divine text had to be extracted from the bodies of demonic beasts, dire beasts, and other types of beasts. It could also be extracted from some plants. The might of the divine text would also differ depending on the strength and age of the beasts. Generally speaking, the characteristics of the divine text were related to the offensive capabilities of the beasts.
Third, the inner core. This material wasn't essential. However, if it was paired with the inner core of a beast, it would produce a better effect. Therefore, an outstanding array formation master would definitely use it.
Once he had these three materials, he could use various arrays to fuse them together and form the mystic technique scroll.
During these two days, the Yuan Venerate didn't help. Whether it was killing dire beasts, extracting the divine text, obtaining the inner core, or even the refining process, everything was done by Ling Xiao alone.
The Yuan Venerate was shocked as he watched the busy Ling Xiao.
