Lu Xiaotian checked his surroundings and found no trace of the black-robed old man's primordial spirit. Thus, he boldly crossed the barrier. When he came into contact with the green light, Lu Xiaotian's spirit was shaken. He felt that his primordial spirit had grown a little stronger after swallowing the green light.
Just as he was about to swallow the rest of the green light, a burst of hoarse laughter rang out. "Haha … This damned place actually has spiritual energy replenishment, great!"
When Lu Xiaotian heard the voice, no matter how reluctant he was to part with the green light, he had no choice but to flee the barrier. With an unsightly expression, he watched as the black-robed old man's primordial spirit swaggered around and ate the green light that was wandering in the air.
Could it be that the green light was the spiritual energy produced by the spirit grass that he had just consumed? Lu Xiaotian guessed in his heart. Thus, he regained control of his body and swallowed another spirit grass leaf. Sure enough, apart from the portion that his meridians could contain, the rest disappeared once again. Then, some green light appeared in the barrier again.
The black-robed old man's primordial spirit was searching everywhere. Seeing the green light appear again, he was immediately overjoyed. He chased after the green light and swallowed it into his stomach. The golden-red ball that represented the black-robed old man's primordial spirit was clearly brighter than before.
"Shut up, that spiritual energy is mine!" Lu Xiaotian angrily shouted after proving that the vitality was formed by the spirit grass.
"Ownerless things belong to the virtuous. It belongs to whoever eats it. If you want it, come in and take it yourself." The black-robed old man laughed strangely.
"This is because I swallowed the purple grass. I can't absorb all the spiritual energy that the purple grass needs in a short period of time. That's why it appeared in the barrier. If you use it all up, I won't take any more spirit grass in the future and will directly cultivate on my own. There won't be any more spiritual energy in the barrier!"
Although Lu Xiaotian was distressed by the loss of the spiritual energy, he was more afraid that the black-robed old man would suddenly kill him. After entering the barrier, he was no match for this old monster. However, he had taken spirit grass and cultivated for more than a year, yet he was still in the first layer of Qi Refining. If he cultivated on his own, it would take him at least three years to break through to the second layer.
His cultivation would only get harder and harder. He estimated that it would take him six to seven years to reach the third layer of Aura Refining, or even longer. However, after consuming the Spirit Grass, the Spirit Qi produced would all appear within the barrier. Once inside the barrier, one would have to constantly guard against the black-robed old man's sneak attack. He had to solve this problem, or else his future cultivation would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens!
"Just because you say so? What proof do you have? " The black-robed old man hesitated for a moment and asked aloud. He had stayed in this enchantment for several months and hadn't been able to touch a trace of Spirit Qi. Now that two waves had suddenly appeared, it was definitely not without reason.
Lu Xiaotian said, "If you don't believe me, just name a time, and I'll add another wave of spiritual energy to the barrier."
"Alright, after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, if there is another wave of spiritual energy within the barrier, I will believe you." The black-robed old man nodded.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the green light in the enchantment thickened again.
"How is it? Do you believe me now?" Lu Xiaotian's primordial spirit appeared outside the barrier again.
The black-robed old man looked at the floating green light in the air, and his eyes were filled with uncertainty.
"So what if I believe you?"
"The spiritual energy born in this space, let's split it 20-80, I'll take 80% and you take 20%." Lu Xiaotian said.
"I can use the spiritual energy if I want to. What's the difference between 20% and no share? Your cultivation is so low that you can't use so much spiritual energy. I'll take 80% and you take 20%. "The black-robed old man sneered.
"I'll take 70% and you take 30%. If worse comes to worst, we'll break up. Don't even think about getting a little bit of spiritual energy in the future. "
"No, at most I'll take 60% and you take 40%!"
"I'll take 60% and you take 40%!"
"Fifty-fifty, if you don't want it, then forget it!"
"Let's split it equally. Anyway, I only have two and a half Purple Grass." Lu Xiaotian was annoyed. Although he had to give half to his sworn enemy, it was better than cultivating by himself.
The black-robed old man snorted, "Purple Grass? You're really short-sighted. What you're talking about is the Purple Grass. With your current cultivation, you can only absorb the spiritual energy of the Purple Grass without being stuffed to death. If you refine it into a Qi Gathering Pill, the effect would be at least three times stronger than simply eating the Purple Grass. "
"If I knew how to refine pills, would I need you to tell me?" Lu Xiaotian rolled his eyes and said, "How about this? Since we're in the same boat now, why don't you teach me how to refine the Qi Amassing Pill? Once I've refined the Qi Amassing Pill, you'll get more Spiritual Qi."
The black-robed old man rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think refining pills is a trivial matter? Even if I teach you the method, you're not even an Alchemy Apprentice. Refining one out of ten furnaces of pills would be good. Two Purple Grass is not enough for you to pay for your tuition. "
"If you don't agree, then forget it. In the future, you won't be able to replenish your spiritual energy." Lu Xiaotian threatened.
"It's not impossible, but if you refine the Qi Gathering Pill, the spiritual energy of the first two Qi Gathering Pills will belong to me and the rest will be split fifty-fifty."
The black-robed old man pondered for a moment. The Qi Gathering Pill could only be used by cultivators in the initial stage of Qi Refining. The spiritual energy of the Purple Grass was far from enough for him. Now that he had fallen to the eleventh layer of Qi Refining, it would take a lot of time for him to return to the twelfth layer. If Lu Xiaotian continued to be in a deadlock with him, it would not benefit him at all.
"Deal!" Lu Xiaotian nodded in agreement. No matter what, knowing how to refine the Qi Gathering Pill would be an additional skill in the future.
"You need a Red Copper Cauldron?" Lu Xiaotian was a little annoyed that the black-robed old man refused to give him the previous cauldron. Now, he was sure that the storage bag that could not be opened must be the black-robed old man's. However, this old man refused to give up, so there was nothing he could do. There must be something very important in that storage bag.
After obtaining the formula for the Qi Gathering Pill, Lu Xiaotian was not in the mood to continue cultivating in the cave. So, he returned to Pingwu County and sold two more herbs. Then, he found a few blacksmiths. Only when he found the third shop could he forge the Red Copper Cauldron.
After paying the deposit, Lu Xiaotian left the blacksmith shop. As soon as he walked into a secluded alley, he saw two groups of people confronting each other with swords drawn. They were all young boys and girls of twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in tight clothes. The smaller side had six or seven people, while the larger side had fourteen or fifteen people.
"I was wondering which sect you were from. You dare to be so arrogant in Pingwu County. So you're from the Thunder Blade Sect. It's your bad luck to meet us, the Black Tiger Sect!" A thin young boy in embroidered clothes said with a sullen face.
"You're just relying on your advantage in numbers. If you have the ability, fight with us alone. Let's see if the disciples of the Black Tiger Sect have grown in strength in recent years." Among the seven people with their backs facing Lu Xiaotian, a slightly taller warrior in black stood out and said disdainfully.
