Chapter 255

Standing above the deep sea abyss, Xue Yingzhen watched the colorful light gradually fade and disappear into the whirlpool of seawater. The whirlpool slowed down and finally stopped. Xue Yingzhen cupped her hands to Shi Xuan, Zhao Jingding, Zhao Jinyu and Lu Lingxiao. "I have achieved my goal. I will take my leave now." After she finished speaking, she left without looking back, causing Zhao Jingding and Lu Lingxiao to sigh endlessly. They had thought that this woman would propose a share of the treasures obtained from the Immortal Abode. After all, everyone had relied on her Spirit Tool to safely leave the Immortal Abode. Otherwise, with their situation, other than Shi Shuan, who had some confidence, the other three would really be in a difficult situation. Who would have thought that Xue Yingzhen would not even mention it and directly leave?

"This time, it is all thanks to Fellow Sun. You saved Yu 'er's life in the Four Beasts Reversal Formation. This old man said at that time that I will repay you in the future. Now that we have left the mansion, consider this old man's gift. Please accept it, Fellow Sun." Zhao Jingding suddenly became very spirited. He didn't look like he was dying in the Immortal Mansion. After saying that, he directly threw a storage bag to Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan curiously opened it to take a look. There was only one thing inside. It was an extremely beautiful, fist-sized ball of light that emitted rays of starlight. The ball of light seemed to be an extremely condensed nebula or galaxy. Inside it, there were sparkling stars moving in a mysterious and unpredictable trajectory. From time to time, stars would disappear, and from time to time, stars would appear. It was truly an ethereal place.

"This is the inner core of a demonic beast?" Fortunately, Shi Xuan was knowledgeable.

Zhao Jingding nodded. "This is the inner core of a Star Armored Beast. Fellow Sun, please keep it well. There are many spies in the surroundings."

"Hmph, the surrounding juniors leave immediately within three breaths. Otherwise, don't blame this old man for being merciless." Lu Lingxiao coldly snorted.

As soon as he said that, more than ten cultivators immediately flew out from the surrounding clouds and seawater. There were Qi Drawing Stage cultivators, Leaving Aperture Stage cultivators, Loose Cultivators and the three major sects. Other than the cultivators of the three major sects, the others immediately scattered in all directions. Heaven Piercing Sword Lu Lingxiao was not a kind person.

"We came to wait for our sect master. We didn't hinder you." A Yellow Maple Valley disciple gathered his courage and said, but his eyes were greedily looking at the storage pouch in Shi Xuan's hand.

A blue light appeared in front of Lu Lingxiao and he counted, "Three, two …"

The disciples of the three great sects didn't dare to be stubborn. They immediately fled far away. Helping the Sect Master was only an excuse. Their true goal was to rob those cultivators that had harvests but were severely wounded. But no matter how much courage they had, they still wouldn't dare to have any ideas on two Divine Soul realm Old Ancestors.

Suddenly, they heard Zhao Jingding's voice. "Fellow Daoist Yue and the others have died. What?" These disciples were so frightened that they almost fell into the sea. They were extremely shocked. "How is this possible?!" How could the Sect Leader and the Elders all perish?! But they didn't dare to go back and ask. At the same time, they knew that Zhao Jingding would never lie about something that could be easily exposed. For a while, they all returned to their sects in panic.

"Using the inner core of a demon beast to form a low-grade Golden Core can't help you advance to the Yin Spirit stage, and your magic power is much inferior. But as long as your magic power and true qi match, and with the help of some less precious pills, the success rate can be as high as 90%. Compared to the 30% increase in success rate of the Nine Revolving Jade Liquid Divine Pill, it is much easier." Zhao Jingding seemed to be afraid that Shi Xuan didn't know the value of the inner core of the Star Armored Beast, so she carefully explained.

Shi Xuan was very clear about this. Using the inner core of a demon beast to form a low-grade Golden Core was the most convenient and easiest way. Otherwise, why would people in Penglai choose to form a low-grade Golden Core? With the resources of the secret realms and Mini Chiliocosms controlled by the sects, how could they not refine a furnace of Nine Revolving Jade Liquid Divine Pill?

It was because after those people reached the Divine Soul Perfection Stage, they were not sure that they could reach the Gold Core Stage by relying on the Nine Revolutions Jade Liquid Divine Pill, so they chose to use the Inner Core of a demon beast that was compatible with their own magic power and Innate Qi to reach the Lower Grade Gold Core Stage. As for whether they could reach the Yin Spirit Stage or not, it was not a difficult choice for them since they were not sure that they could reach the Gold Core Stage.

Seeing that Shi Xuan was silent, Zhao Jingding hurriedly said, "I know that Fellow Daoist Sun's true qi is the Samadhi Wind, which is not compatible with the inner core of the demon beast. Then … then …" Suddenly, Zhao Jingding became dispirited. If it weren't for Zhao Jinyu, he would have fallen into the sea.

"Father, father, what's wrong?" Zhao Jinyu panicked.

"Old Zhao has exhausted his origin and can't hold on any longer. I'm just a little better than him. I don't think I'll die." Lu Lingxiao also looked haggard. He could barely control his true qi to stand in the air.

Zhao Jingding looked at the blurry sky and felt that he was almost out of breath. Beside him was the sound of his daughter crying. Gradually, he seemed to see himself taking the Nine Revolving Jade Liquid Divine Pill. The dragon and tiger met, the wind and clouds gathered, and a lively, round, flawless Golden Core was formed. Then he led his disciples to sweep the three sects. In the sea of coercion, he finally established a huge sect.

In the main hall of the sect, he was proud of himself. Beside him stood his wife, Shen, who had also formed a Golden Core. On his left and right were his eldest daughter, Zhao Jinyu, and his youngest daughter, Zhao Jinxiu. Below him, under the leadership of Ling Hong and Lei Guangyao, they kowtowed to him three times and nine times, and called him Patriarch!

"M-M-M-Sect …" Zhao Jingding said something intermittently. Zhao Jinyu, who was crying, tried to listen but couldn't hear clearly. Suddenly, Zhao Jingding waved his arms and laughed, "Ha! Ha! Ha! " Then, she suddenly went limp and no longer moved. Only Zhao Jinyu's miserable cries reverberated in the surroundings.

Shi Xuan suddenly understood why Zhao Jingding did that. He knew that he didn't have long to live, so he took the opportunity to repay the kindness and gave him the Inner Elixir of the Star Ironback Beast so that Shi Xuan wouldn't have the heart to snatch the Nine Revolving Jade Liquid Divine Pill he left for Zhao Jinyu. Seeing that Shi Xuan was silent, Shi Xuan became anxious. He guessed that Shi Xuan wanted to give him a Divine Pill to dispel his greed. After all, Zuo Kongtu was dead.

As for whether it was meaningful or not, for Zhao Jingding who was dying, he could only do his best and leave it to fate.

But for him, what use could the Inner Elixir of the Star Ironback Beast be? He definitely wouldn't choose the path of Lower Grade Golden Elixir. Moreover, his Dharma power and genuine Qi didn't match. It seemed that he could only exchange it for Karma points when he returned to the sect. This thing was very popular.

After all, after so many years of hunting, except for the Demonic Beast Kingdom and the Deserted Sea, the demonic beasts in the Golden Elixir stage in other places were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Moreover, there were powerful demonic beasts guarding these two places. It wasn't easy to invite a master to besiege and kill the demonic beasts in the Golden Elixir stage.

Moreover, the Golden Elixir that humans achieved was not like the Inner Elixir of demonic beasts. It referred to a perfect and flawless state of the spirit and Dharma power. Therefore, there wouldn't be any cases of killing people to obtain the Core Elixir, unless one practiced the Blood Shadow Magic of the Blood Demon Sect, which directly plundered the Essence Qi, flesh and blood. All of this determined that the Inner Elixir of demonic beasts was a priceless item!

It seemed that he could only exchange it for Karma points. "Wait, there seems to be a method of refining External Elixir in the sect?"

The so-called External Elixir was to refine the Inner Elixir of demonic beasts as a celestial device. Finally, after it was worn on the body, one could borrow the Dharma power, Divine Light, and Magic Arts within it, thus achieving the strength of Lower Grade Golden Elixir! Of course, it was only strength, not cultivation. Moreover, the Inner Elixir of the Star Ironback Beast did not match his Dharma power and genuine Qi. After refining the External Elixir, he could at most reach the level of half a Golden Elixir.

Moreover, he couldn't use the External Elixir to practice Magic Arts and Taoist Arts. Other than the Magic Arts contained in the Inner Elixir of demonic beasts, there was only the Dharma power and Divine Light. However, for Shi Xuan before he achieved the Upper Grade Golden Elixir, it was definitely a strong guarantee of his life.

It was a pity that the method of refining the External Elixir required 20,000 Karma points. Shi Xuan hadn't seen it before. He could only wait until he returned to the sect to deal with this matter, Shi Xuan thought regretfully.

After a while, Zhao Jinyu stopped crying. She looked miserable, but with a unique beauty, she bowed to Lu Lingxiao and Shi Xuan. "Thank you, Senior Lu, Fellow Cultivator Sun, for your help this time." Then she took out the storage bag that Zhao Jingding had stuffed into her at some point and took out the jade bottle of elixir. "Senior Lu, this is the Nine-revolving Jade-liquid Elixir that my father promised you."

"No need, I don't need this anymore." Unexpectedly, Lu Lingxiao refused, which made Zhao Jinyu and Shi Xuan very surprised.

Lu Lingxiao said coldly, "In the last hit, I almost burned up my Origin. Even if I use the Nine-revolving Jade-liquid Elixir, I have no hope of advancing to the Golden Elixir. I happen to have a Golden-dragon Inner Elixir with me, which is compatible with my Dharma power and genuine Qi, so I can only use it to make elixir, which can also extend my lifespan by two or three hundred years. "

"But …" Zhao Jinyu couldn't accept that the person who had fought for this elixir before suddenly said he didn't want it.

Lu Lingxiao's expression was cold. "I didn't say I didn't want it, but I could escape from Song Hezi's hands, thanks to Old Zhao who didn't care about his life. Now that he's dead, this old man owes him a favor. So I put this Nine-revolving Jade-liquid Elixir with you. In the future, when I accept an apprentice and the apprentice reaches the Spirit Soul Stage, I will come to ask for it. At that time, if you have reached the Golden Elixir, I will immediately hide my face and leave. Even if this elixir is given to you, if there is no Jindan Grandmaster, then don't blame me for taking away the three elixirs! "

Although his words were cold, Zhao Jinyu could still see Lu Lingxiao's thoughts. Zhao Jinyu was silent for a moment, then she cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Senior Lu, for giving me pressure." Then she looked at Shi Xuan. "This time, I really owe Fellow Daoist Sun too much for the matter of the Immortal Mansion. If Fellow Daoist Sun has any requests, just tell me."

Shi Xuan shook the storage bag in his hand. "This Star Armored Beast's Inner Elixir is very precious, I have nothing else to ask for."

The Nine-revolving Jade-liquid Elixir, which could make most cultivators below the Golden Core Stage greedy, was rejected by two people in a row. Zhao Jinyu was already numb with surprise. She said blankly, "In that case, if Fellow Daoist Sun needs my help in the future, don't hesitate to come to Guanhai City."
