After another two days, Xiao Chen's internal injuries were completely healed. His blood essence was strong and his Qi and blood flourished. His face glowed, and he was in high spirits. He had completely recovered to his peak state.
"Dong! Dong!
Dong! "There was knocking on the door. Xiao Chen calmed down. It should be Leng Yue.
When he opened the door, he saw the alluring Leng Yue standing outside. She smiled and said, "I have thought of the terms."
Xiao Chen nodded gently and asked interestedly, "What is it?"
Leng Yue said softly, "Change the one year period to half a year."
According to their initial agreement, Leng Yue needed to stay by Xiao Chen's side for a year to help him grasp the state of massacre. Now, three months had passed. If it was changed to half a year, there were only three months left.
Xiao Chen thought for a while and said softly, "Nine months. Help me for nine months. At that time, regardless of whether I have grasped the state of massacre or not, I will let you go."
"Sure, nine months it is."
Contrary to Xiao Chen's expectations, Leng Yue did not try to haggle. She quickly agreed to Xiao Chen's terms and handed him an Alchemic Recipe.
Xiao Chen received the Alchemic Recipe and took a look. There were many precious herbs recorded on it. According to a certain ratio, they could be used to make a special medicinal liquid, the Exquisite Seven Aperture Fluid.
Leng Yue explained, "The spiritual liquid in the Spirit Gathering Pearl is very vast. Only when one is a Martial Monarch and has cultivated their Essence into Quintessence can one withstand the impact. If one wants to absorb it when one is a Martial King, one has to dilute the spiritual liquid with the Exquisite Seven Aperture Fluid. Then, fill the bathtub with clean water and sprinkle the petals of the Heavenly Demon Flower. After you jump into the bathtub, you will be able to absorb it. "
Xiao Chen looked at the Alchemic Recipe carefully and frowned slightly. He said, "The things on this are not cheap. One bottle of the Exquisite Seven Aperture Fluid costs about five hundred thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones."
Leng Yue's expression was very calm. She said softly, "Cultivation requires resources. Without resources, you will not be able to get injured. Without resources, you will not be able to cultivate quickly. In the Demonic World, only some of the royal clans know this Alchemic Recipe. In the Demonic World, only the royal clans can afford it.
"You just need to buy the ingredients. I will make the Exquisite Seven Aperture Fluid for you. Otherwise, the horrifying failure rate will make you bankrupt."
Xiao Chen grasped the Alchemic Recipe tightly. He looked at Leng Yue and asked, "Leng Yue, I should believe you?
"Of course you have to trust me. Right now, there are powerful enemies who want to kill you. If you die, I won't be able to live either. Leng Yue spoke with an extremely serious expression. As she spoke, a faintly discernible air of nobility was being emitted from her body.
Two days later, Xiao Chen went to all the medicinal stores on the Divine Dragon Warship. Then, he went to the free market for cultivators for a long time. Finally, he managed to gather twenty percent of the ingredients for the Alchemic Recipe.
Xiao Chen spent one million Medial Grade Spirit Stones just like that. Even Xiao Chen lamented his own squandering. In less than a week, he had spent two million Medial Grade Spirit Stones.
Xiao Chen hoped that he would be able to fulfill his wish. Otherwise, his losses would be too great.
Thousand-year-old Snake Blood Flower, Dead Sea Mushroom, Magic Blood Crystal, Demonic Monarch Grass, Poison Stump Fruit …
Leng Yue was in her room, taking inventory of the various natural treasures that Xiao Chen had bought. She carefully checked the quality of every ingredient. Her expression was very serious and meticulous.
Furthermore, her eyes were very sharp and her methods were very experienced. She managed to find a few Spirit Herbs that did not meet the requirements. "How can a Snake Blood Flower be a thousand years old? It can only be used for nine hundred years. When determining the age of a Spirit Herb, you cannot just look at its growth rings. The Snake Blood Flower grows in the stomach of a snake for its first hundred years. Those hundred years do not count. You will have to buy another one.
"One of the Dead Sea Mushrooms has already withered. The person who sold you used spiritual liquid to nourish it. After twelve hours, the spiritual liquid will be used up and it will be useless."
The Spirit Herbs in Leng Yue's Alchemic Recipe were very rare. They were not recorded in the Compendium of Cultivation. Hence, Xiao Chen fell for this trick.
When Xiao Chen heard Leng Yue's words, he did not feel uncomfortable. He made a mental note of it. He felt like he had learned a lot.
Leng Yue sorted out the Spirit Herbs that did not meet the requirements. Then, she looked at Xiao Chen and said unhurriedly, "You have to buy these again. You wasted two hundred thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones."
Xiao Chen swept the Spirit Herbs that did not meet the requirements into his Universe Ring. He said indifferently, "It is not really a waste. Naturally, I will make the person who cheated me pay double. Wait a little longer."
Leng Yue did not have to wait for long. Four hours later, Xiao Chen returned, filled with killing Qi. Then, he took out two sets of Spirit Herbs that he originally wanted to buy.
"I will take my leave first. I will not disturb you from refining the Exquisite Seven Aperture Fluid."
Leng Yue stopped Xiao Chen and said, "There is no need for you to leave. I need your help. Refining the Exquisite Seven Aperture Fluid is not a secret. How much you can learn will depend on your own ability."
"Bang!"
Right after Leng Yue spoke, she waved her hand and a cauldron appeared in the air. The azure-black cauldron was about the height of two adults. It was very large and there were dragons and phoenixes carved on it. Many talisman scripts were carved on it, giving off a spiritual light.
At the top of the cauldron, there was a smooth, transparent, and crystalline mirror floating above the cauldron.
Below the cauldron, there was a crystal board with a large formation carved on it. A small strand of white flame floated quietly in the center of the formation.
All this was an eye-opener for Xiao Chen. This was almost exactly the same as the cauldron that Immortals used to refine Medicinal Pills and Treasures in the Compendium of Cultivation.
When Xiao Chen looked at the pure and charming Leng Yue again, a huge wave stirred in his heart. Perhaps Leng Yue's identity was even more incredible than he had imagined.
"Xiu!"
The purple mark on Leng Yue's forehead glistened brightly. She flicked her finger and sent a beam of dim light at the crystal board. "Boom!" The white flame floating in the center of the formation exploded. The blazing flame started to burn intensely.
However, the burning flame did not raise the surrounding temperature. Instead, a cold wind blew. Instead, it made one feel a chill.
Xiao Chen knew that this white flame was probably a high-ranked Yin-attributed flame. As for what kind of Yin-attributed flame it was, only Leng Yue knew.
"The Raging Golden Light Mirror floats above the cauldron. Originally, it could absorb the flames of the sun during the day and use it. However, this is the Deep Sea Battlefield. The sun is blocked by the demonic clouds. Hence, we need to borrow your Purple Thunder True Fire."
Xiao Chen nodded to indicate that he understood. A purple flame gathered in his right eye and turned into a purple dragon that swam into the Raging Golden Light Mirror.
The transparent surface of the mirror instantly refined the purple dragon into a pure Yin-attributed flame. It gave off a dazzling and dazzling golden light.
Leng Yue opened the lid of the cauldron and placed the various ingredients into it. The sound of splashing water came from the cauldron. It looked like she had filled the cauldron with clean water in advance.
Leng Yue placed the lid back on and pointed at the Raging Golden Light Mirror. Immediately, a beam of golden light shot out from the mirror and penetrated the barrier of the cauldron, entering the cauldron.
At this moment, Leng Yue had already closed her eyes. As the Yin and Yang flames intertwined, she focused on refining the herbs in the cauldron. The purple mark on Leng Yue's forehead flickered. An ancient and noble aura came from her body, sweeping away her usual charm.
After refining the herbs for six hours, Leng Yue opened her eyes again. A purple vertical eye opened in the depths of her eyes and gave off two beams of dim light. She started the final step of the refinement.
"Boom!"
The dim light vanished, and Leng Yue waved her hand. The lid of the cauldron fell off, and two streams of golden liquid leaped out of the cauldron.
Under Leng Yue's instructions, the golden liquid entered a jade bottle that she had placed at the side. Then, Leng Yue carefully handed the bottle to Xiao Chen.
"The Exquisite Seven Aperture Fluid is done. Take it. Remember, one bottle can only neutralize three Spirit Gathering Pearls. Any more will not do."
Xiao Chen caught the jade bottle in his hand. He was not in a rush to leave. He stared at the cauldron with a fiery gaze and asked, "This cauldron can be used for refining, right?"
Leng Yue was slightly stunned. She had not expected Xiao Chen to know about this. She nodded and said, "Indeed, it can. However, what do you want to do? If you want to refine a Magic Treasure, you will need natural treasures. You will not be able to afford them."
Xiao Chen did not say much. He took out the Palm Sword in his right hand and said, "Help me strengthen this Secret Treasure. I will pay for all the materials you need. If you have any requests, just let me know."
Leng Yue received the flying sword that Xiao Chen handed over and looked at it carefully. Then, she nodded and said, "Secret Treasures are slightly different from Magic Treasures. However, they are of the same origin. I can help you strengthen it. I will list out the materials, and you can think of a way to obtain them yourself.
"As for the conditions, there is no need for that. Just leave those cultivators seeking trouble for you to me. Only when you become stronger will I be able to stay by your side with peace of mind during these nine months. "
When he was an Inferior Grade Martial King, the Palm Sword had been Xiao Chen's trump card. When the Palm Sword was shot out from the palm, it could catch the opponent off guard and make it hard for them to dodge.
Unfortunately, as Xiao Chen's cultivation increased, the Palm Sword became outdated. Its flying speed could no longer pose a threat to half-step Martial Monarchs.
If Leng Yue could help strengthen it, that would be for the best. In the future, Xiao Chen could ask her for help on the Blood Flame Shoes and black leather gloves.
After receiving the list from Leng Yue, Xiao Chen took a quick look. The items listed were all rare ores such as Black Crystal, Brilliant White Steel, Earth Crystal, and Magic Blood Crystal. They were all very expensive.
Now, Xiao Chen only had about seven or eight hundred thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones to use. After he bought all the ores on the list, he would be left with about two hundred thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones.
Two hundred thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones is sufficient for me to cultivate to Martial Monarch. I should not think too much about it for now. I will think of a way to obtain more resources when I am a Martial Monarch. If I really cannot, I will just rely on the Haotian Sect that Yue Chenxi is in.
On the path of cultivation, the higher one's cultivation, the more resources one would need. This was especially so for genius cultivators. Without sufficient resources, they would not be able to bring out their potential.
Thus, most genius cultivators had to rely on a strong sect. Only then could they afford to expend a horrifying amount of resources.
With an idea in mind, Xiao Chen no longer hesitated. He went out and spent four hundred thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones to buy all the rare ores on the list. Then, he handed them to Leng Yue along with the Palm Sword.
After doing all this, Xiao Chen returned to his room and prepared to absorb the Spirit Gathering Pearls.
There was a bathtub about half the height of a person in the room. It was already filled with clean water. Black Heavenly Demon Flowers floated on the water.
