"Naturally. You just need to prepare the spiritual materials. "Lu Xiaotian nodded.
"Mister Dongfang, does my Muye Clan also have this opportunity?" Muye Zhangting's heart stirred.
"That's fine too. However, other than the Green Boulder Rock, the higher the grade of the other spiritual items, the better. After all, it's useless to have too many of these spiritual items." Naturally, the more Yuan Spirit essence and blood essence of high-grade demonic beasts, the better. After all, these two items could be used to save a life at a critical moment.
"Many thanks, Mister Dongfang."
Muye Zhangting was overjoyed when he heard this. Although he had just paid a huge price of twenty million low grade spirit stones, being able to establish a relationship with Lu Xiaotian could be considered a blessing in disguise. Zhu Qingquan and the others all placed the most importance on Lu Xiaotian's recent refinement of the Nascent Soul Pill.
"Rather than choosing a place, I ask Brother Dongfang to stay here for a few days. In a moment, I will send over the spiritual materials that Brother Dongfang requires. I presume that Brother Dongfang will need a certain amount of time to refine the pill."
Zhu Qingquan laughed heartily and handed over a bamboo medallion. "Looking at Brother Dongfang's conduct, I'm afraid he doesn't like to be disturbed by worldly matters. However, since Brother Dongfang has such astonishing attainments in alchemy, it will be difficult to avoid being disturbed in the future. This Ink Bamboo Medallion is my keepsake and also represents my status in the Cloudcliff Auction House. If Brother Dongfang wishes to avoid trouble, you can reveal this item. If you want to trust someone, then even if you don't place my auction house in your eyes, you will still have to give me some face. "
"This crafty old man." Patriarch Mang Xiao muttered to himself. Although the Pill Refining Grand Master wasn't willing to join any power for the time being, Zhu Qingquan still gave him this keepsake. As a Pill Refining Grand Master, his combat strength would inevitably be inferior to ordinary cultivators. If he were to encounter danger in the future, revealing Zhu Qingquan's keepsake would undoubtedly solve a considerable problem. As long as the Pill Refining Grand Master used it, it would inevitably be branded with the Cloudcliff Auction House's label.
Cultivators cultivated the aura of immortality. The majority of cultivators, regardless of whether they were righteous or evil, disliked owing favors.
"This is my, Mang Xiao's, keepsake. If Brother Dongfang is disturbed by worldly matters in the future, you can reveal my keepsake. If you use your magic power to activate this jade tablet, you can also send a signal to my Mang Clan. The nearby people will immediately provide support. I believe that within the Country of Xiang, my name is still quite useful. "
Mang Xiao was naturally unwilling to fall behind Zhu Qingquan, so he also gave Lu Xiaotian a jade tablet with the function of requesting assistance.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoists. It would be impolite of me to refuse."
Lu Xiaotian nodded. There were so many people here, and each of them represented several forces. If they couldn't get enough benefits from him, it was very likely that they would leak information about him. Suddenly, an Alchemy Grandmaster had appeared. However, even if he didn't join the Cloud Cliff Auction House or the Mang Family for the time being, he could accept their goodwill and dispel the thoughts of many people.
Zhu Qingquan and Mang Xiao were delighted when they saw Lu Xiaotian accept the token. Although they hadn't achieved their goal, the other party's actions were a good sign.
Lu Xiaotian appeared with the identity of an Alchemy Grandmaster. His greatest value was undoubtedly in alchemy, especially his attainments in the Nascent Soul Pill. Zhu Qingquan and Mang Xiao valued him the most. At this moment, regardless of which cultivation clan or country one was in, the Nascent Soul Pill was the most important resource for war preparations. Apart from the peak cultivators, the strength of a clan or a country was determined by Nascent Soul cultivators as the backbone of their strength.
After negotiating the price of the pills and spiritual items, Lu Xiaotian used the manor provided by the Cloud Cliff Auction House as a place to refine pills.
Joe Yu had already taught her a cultivation technique, so it didn't matter if she couldn't return for the time being. As for the deal with Xiang Hua, it would be enough for her to use her soul to control a puppet and spar with him.
The manor was quite large, with pavilions, terraces, and a small lake with a hot spring. Schools of fish swam in the lake, and winter snow covered the manor. In the flat snowfield, there were still a few birds flying up and down, chirping endlessly.
Lu Xiaotian had only been in the manor for half a day when Patriarch Mang Xiao and Zhu Qingquan sent people to deliver the spiritual items that Lu Xiaotian needed.
Even the Boulder Stone, which was rare even for Great Cultivators, didn't have it. It was mainly demon beasts' soul essences and blood essence.
Patriarch Mang Xiao sent the most valuable one. It was actually a twelfth grade Purple-Eyed Demon Elephant's soul essence. Zhu Qingquan sent an eleventh grade Blazing Eagle and a White-Fronted Demon Monkey's soul essence. As for demon beasts' blood essence, there was even more.
"Although my injuries can't be healed in a short period of time, with these things, my ability to protect myself has increased by a lot." Lu Xiaotian sighed slightly. In comparison, he was naturally more interested in the Spirit Marrow Crystal Jade and the Boulder Stone.
As for the Jade Demonic Aura, it was an evil item that the three-headed snake demon had spent thousands of years refining. Lu Xiaotian wasn't sure if a Great Cultivator would be able to get rid of the Jade Demonic Aura.
It might be possible, but it would expose the true situation of his body. Before he had enough ability to protect himself, Lu Xiaotian didn't want to reveal his secret to others. He would rather spend more time thinking of a way.
After receiving benefits from others, Lu Xiaotian began to help them refine pills. The pills that were refined were basically Nascent Soul Pills. There were also some pills with good effects, such as improving one's magic power or healing injuries. There were even a few pills that could restore one's soul essence.
What made Zhu Qingquan and Patriarch Mang Xiao extremely satisfied was that Lu Xiaotian's pill production rate was always around 20% to 30%. The Nascent Soul Pill's pill production rate was slightly higher, sometimes even reaching 35%. From time to time, a mid-grade Nascent Soul Pill would appear.
The other pills' pill production rate wasn't too high, but it didn't cause them to lose money. Moreover, even for some extremely obscure pills, Lu Xiaotian was always able to refine pills. This kind of ability was something that other pill refinement grandmasters didn't possess.
During this time, even the Muye Clan sent over spiritual items. Lu Xiaotian also refined a cauldron of pills for them.
Several months later, when the person who sent the demon beast blood essence came again, he found that Lu Xiaotian had already left. The manor was empty and nothing could be found. Two Nascent Soul cultivators, a formation master, and several other Jin Dan level experts overseeing the manor turned the manor upside down, but they still couldn't find Lu Xiaotian's whereabouts.
When Zhu Qingquan and Patriarch Mang Xiao heard the news, they immediately became furious. Originally, when they saw that Lu Xiaotian's cultivation was limited, they wanted to use the excuse of protecting Lu Xiaotian. On one hand, it was necessary to protect him. After all, it was extremely dangerous for a cultivator who hadn't even reached the Nascent Soul Realm to wander around. On the other hand, it was naturally to further control Lu Xiaotian.
