At the foot of a huge mountain, Xiao Lingyu and the huge snake stopped.
After the huge snake landed, it gulped down a bottle of spiritual liquid and a bottle of ten-thousand-year-old King Bee Nectar. It even stuck out its tongue and licked its mouth like a gluttonous child.
Xiao Lingyu also drank a few mouthfuls of the spiritual liquid to nourish his body.
Although he had the huge snake as his companion, Xiao Lingyu still felt a little lonely. He was all alone in this Flying Feather Continent. He had just found a brother but that brother of his was locked up and he had even killed a disciple of that sect …
"* Sigh * I should improve my strength first. Then, I'll go look for dad, mom and Xiaomin. This cultivation world is really not peaceful. "After absorbing a few mouthfuls of the spiritual liquid, Xiao Lingyu looked at the vast and empty mountain forest and could not help but sigh.
There were no spirit stone veins in this mountain range. Therefore, the spiritual energy here was very thin. No cultivators were willing to stay here for a long time. There were not even any demon beasts or ferocious beasts with a little bit of intelligence.
What Xiao Lingyu needed was the primal chaos energy. This kind of energy was very thin in most places in the cultivation world. Xiao Lingyu had a huge amount of spiritual liquid. Therefore, he did not care if the place he cultivated in was full of spiritual energy or not. At least, this place was very quiet. He wanted to settle himself down here first.
However, this place was too close to the Void Inquiry Stage. The nearby Tai Yang City was one of the Void Inquiry Stage's businesses. Therefore, Xiao Lingyu decisively gave up on this place. When the huge snake recovered, they set off again.
To the huge snake, a bottle of spiritual liquid could only nourish its physical body. It did not have much effect on improving its strength unless it drank a lot of it.
However, that bottle of ten-thousand-year-old King Bee Nectar was a good thing. Not only was it sweet, but the energy it contained was also very rich. The huge snake had already reached the late Spirit Severing Realm.
However, that bottle of ten-thousand-year-old King Bee Nectar was only effective for the first time. After drinking it again, it would not have any obvious effect. Otherwise, Xiao Lingyu would have given the other two bottles to the huge snake so that it could directly reach the Body Integration Stage.
After traveling for a few more days, Xiao Lingyu arrived at the edge of a desert.
The desert in front of them was also quite famous on the Feiyu Continent. It was called the Rockfall Desert because there were always rocks falling from the sky. Of course, those rocks were not meteorites that fell from the heavens, but from the strong winds in the desert.
The Rockfall Desert was very vast, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles. However, other than a few oases, there were no plants at all. That was because the sandstorm was too strong, and there were often large areas of rockfall rain. Ordinary plants simply couldn't survive.
However, there were countless Sand Demons living under the Rockfall Desert. Due to the scarcity of spirit veins in the Rockfall Desert, the cultivation of those Sand Demons was not high.
The Sand Demons in the Rockfall Desert had a very obvious characteristic, which was that they had thick skin and strong resistance to attacks. This was mainly because they had to be able to withstand the stones that could fall at any time when they came out.
The leather or shell of the Sand Demons, as well as their Inner Cores, were all very tough. They were excellent materials for refining defensive magical equipment. Therefore, many cultivators entered the Rockfall Desert endlessly, risking the risk of being smashed by the rocks to hunt the Sand Demons.
At the periphery of the Rockfall Desert, there were many small towns and cities. They were mainly there to provide convenience for those adventurers who wanted to hunt the Sand Demons.
The reason why Xiao Lingyu came here was firstly because the disciples of the Void Inquiry Stage which was one of the top sects in the Feiyu Continent rarely came here. Secondly, the cultivators here came from all over the Feiyu Continent. It was convenient for Xiao Lingyu to inquire about some things. Thirdly, he was also preparing to hunt some Sand Demons.
Of course, there was another more important thing that he could not tell others.
The huge snake had already been hidden in the spiritual beast pouch. Xiao Lingyu did not enter the Rockfall Desert directly. Instead, he wandered around the small towns in the periphery, constantly asking for information about Earth.
However, what made him very disappointed was that he did not get any information even after more than a month. Whether it was intentionally asking around or inadvertently listening to other people's conversations, he did not get any information about Earth at all.
It had already been eight to nine years since the end of the world on Earth. In a place like the cultivation world, there were too many accidents that could happen to mortals like Xiao Lingyu's parents and Gu Xiaomin who had no cultivation base if they did not have any good fortune. How could Xiao Lingyu not be worried? However, there was nothing he could do.
Xiao Lingyu did not stay in those small towns for long. Since he did not get any useful information, he found a small mountain range far away from the towns and dug out an immortal's cave there.
After blocking the entrance of the immortal's cave, he expanded the interior of the immortal's cave.
Xiao Lingyu meditated for three days and three nights. When his condition was at its peak, he took out some materials and began to concoct magic treasures and pills.
The pills and magic treasures he concocted were all low grade. He also used a very ordinary pill furnace or weapon cauldron. The success rate was not high. However, it was just for practice.
He was not a genius in concoction and had no intention of having any amazing achievements in this field. He just wanted to concoct some pills to protect his life, to assist in the cultivation of the Nine Revolution Chaos Formula or to concoct some magic treasures to fight against enemies.
Three months later, Xiao Lingyu left the immortal's cave. The low grade materials he collected before were all used up by him. However, he only got two low grade spirit treasures and two types of low grade spirit pills.
If those experts in concoction were to concoct them, with the materials Xiao Lingyu had, the harvest would be at least five times more.
Xiao Lingyu was a person who was very easy to satisfy. He was already very satisfied that he could gain something from his first long concoction. As for the techniques he used to concoct magic treasures and pills, he learned them from reading books in his study room. It could be said that he stole them from the Void Inquiry Stage immortal sect.
When it came to alchemy and refining, Xiao Lingyu had never thought of taking any shortcuts, nor did he think of relying on luck or some other external factors. He firmly believed that practice made perfect. Even if his talent wasn't very good, as long as he practiced more, he would naturally be able to grasp some tricks.
After coming out to take a breather, Xiao Lingyu once again wandered around the small town in the outer region of the Falling Rock Desert. However, when he returned to the immortal's cave, his face was still filled with disappointment. He still did not get any news.
Xiao Lingyu went into seclusion again. After meditating for a day in the quiet room of the immortal's cave, he opened his eyes. With a thought, two bottles of pills and a few bottles of spiritual liquid appeared before his eyes.
He muttered to himself for a while before pouring half a bottle of spiritual liquid into his mouth. After that, he entered a meditative state to regulate his breathing. After the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, he opened another bottle and took out a low-grade spirit pill and put it into his mouth.
His face showed that he was enjoying it. However, after a while, he opened another bottle and took out another type of low-grade spirit pill and swallowed it. The expression of enjoyment on his face slowly disappeared and was replaced by a frown. His face showed that he was in pain. His entire body was shining with a grayish chaotic light.
In his dantian, the Chaotic Golden Core was trembling non-stop. It was also slowly expanding.
Not long after, a large amount of grayish mist gathered on the surface of the Chaotic Golden Core. The mist gradually formed a whirlpool that spun rapidly.
Xiao Lingyu quickly poured more spiritual liquid into his mouth. Waves of spiritual power supported his meridians and poured into the whirlpool around the Chaotic Golden Core.
The swelling pain in his meridians caused Xiao Lingyu's expression to become almost distorted. If it weren't for the two low-grade spirit pills that he had taken to protect and nourish his meridians, he definitely wouldn't have been able to persist in his cultivation.
The two types of spirit pills were the Meridian Protection Pill and the Meridian Cultivation Pill. They weren't spirit pills that could increase cultivation or heal injuries.
However, the Meridian Protection Pill could form a membrane-like barrier on the walls of the meridians. It could not only reduce the impact of energy on the meridians when a cultivator's cultivation was circulating, but it could also increase the speed of energy circulation in the meridians.
On the other hand, the Meridian Cultivation Pill could seep into the meridians and flesh to nourish the cultivator's entire body. Therefore, Xiao Lingyu felt very comfortable when he took it. Xiao Lingyu's main purpose of taking the Meridian Cultivation Pill wasn't to nourish the body. When the Meridian Cultivation Pill seeped into his meridians, it could strengthen the tenacity of his meridians and expand the range of impact that his meridians could withstand.
As for the Essence Strengthening Pill, although it had some effect on his meridians, it was limited to the Chaotic Foundation Establishment Stage.
It wasn't easy to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Chaos Formula. If one cultivated it step by step, there definitely wouldn't be enough time. Therefore, cultivators needed to be able to take shortcuts. Xiao Lingyu's master had imparted this mysterious technique to Xiao Lingyu and also imparted a lot of experience, including how to quickly increase cultivation.
Xiao Lingyu's current method was taught to him by his master. However, the prerequisite for this method was that Xiao Lingyu had to have enough energy to support it. Under normal circumstances, this energy support was reflected in whether or not he had enough spirit stones.
If he had enough spirit stones, he would need to refine the Meridian Cultivation Pill and the Meridian Protection Pill. Of course, it was fine to not refine them. It would be more convenient to buy them directly. However, there were many types of elixirs that needed to be used in the future, but it was impossible to buy all of them. Therefore, Xiao Lingyu felt that it was better to first start the foundation of refining elixirs.
This seclusion took half a year. When Xiao Lingyu stopped all his movements, he happily discovered that the Chaotic Golden Core in his dantian had grown from the size of a rice grain to the size of a peanut. This was the characteristic of the mid-stage Chaotic Golden Core. When the Chaotic Golden Core was the size of an egg, it was the late-stage Chaotic Golden Core.
In fact, Xiao Lingyu's cultivation strength was almost the same as a mid-stage Nascent Soul Stage cultivator's.
After stopping his cultivation, Xiao Lingyu went out again.
Originally, he was prepared to inquire about the news of Earth. If he still did not gain anything, he would return to continue his seclusion and rush to the Chaotic Nascent Soul Stage in one go. However, he unexpectedly received a piece of news that made him give up this plan.
There was another very important reason why Xiao Lingyu came to the Rockfall Desert. Jiang Lanyue had once said that there was a place where treasures were hidden in the Rockfall Desert. Xiao Lingyu came this time to take those treasures away.
With Jiang Lanyue's status and strength, she naturally would not have the slightest greed for the treasures of the Cultivation World. Therefore, although she had discovered the place, she did not touch it. However, she simply told Xiao Lingyu how to easily take those treasures away.
What Xiao Lingyu did not expect was that the place where the treasures were hidden had been exposed. Now, many adventurers were rushing there. Naturally, he could not wait any longer. Otherwise, the treasures that should have belonged to him would fall into the hands of others.
