Pill King Li is nearing the end of his lifespan. Given his current condition, he shouldn't have more than a hundred years to live. Moreover, Pill King Li's current condition is far from his prime. Even if he were to personally refine pills now, he might not be better than Lu Daoyou. With Lu Daoyou's current astounding skills, he's fully deserving of the title of chief pill king of the Abyss Hall. Brother Ji saw this as well, which is why he agreed to mediate with Pill King Li. He also wants to curry favor with Lu Daoyou in advance. "
Seeing Lu Xiaotian's lack of joy, Nan Chendu comforted him again. Seeing Lu Xiaotian's alchemy ability and astonishing output, Nan Chendu was surprised but also delighted.
Not only was Lu Xiaotian's refining speed extremely fast, but his success rate was also above average. Although Lu Xiaotian was still a third rank pill king, the other third rank pill kings of the Abyss Hall combined couldn't compare to Lu Xiaotian alone.
An ordinary Tier 3 Pill King would consume a lot of spiritual sense and magic power when concocting spirit pills. They had to rest for a while after refining pills for a period of time. Lu Xiaotian, however, didn't have this concern. After refining a few pills that the other third rank pill kings had extremely low success rates. Lu Xiaotian's skill in pill dao had completely convinced the other pill kings of the Abyss Hall.
Nan Chendu naturally felt that Lu Xiaotian had a chance of becoming a fourth rank pill king. Therefore, when Lu Xiaotian proposed to meet Pill King Li to discuss pill dao after failing to refine a cauldron of Bone Cleansing Pills, Nan Chendu spared no effort in facilitating the meeting. Once Lu Xiaotian became a fourth rank pill king, it was easy to imagine how much help he would have in the future.
"Then I'll head over first." Lu Xiaotian nodded. In his eyes, Pill King Li was still the head pill king of the Abyss Hall. It was just that his lifespan was nearing its end and he was getting old, so he didn't have the strength to refine some high level pills. However, Lu Xiaotian knew that there was still a gap between him and the decrepit Pill King Li when it came to pill refinement. As for the title of Chief Pill King in the Abyss Hall being given to Lu Xiaotian, Lu Xiaotian didn't feel anything at all.
Lu Xiaotian drifted down from the void and arrived at the small city in the clouds. This small city was a very special place in the Demon Realm of Chaos. This was also Pill King Li's residence. It was surrounded by white clouds, and tall pine trees stood between the clouds. Some of them were exposed, while others were hidden by the clouds. The pine trees that grew among the clouds gave off a sense of elegance and mystery. Flocks of red-crowned and white-feathered spirit cranes would occasionally appear between the clouds or perch on top of the pine trees.
There was a small stream at the edge of the small city. It wasn't originally there, but Pill King Li had invited a formation master to set up a formation called the Tidal Formation in the northern part of the small city. Each formation contained a water-gathering formation disk that absorbed the water spirit energy in the air and formed a river.
This small city in the clouds was a good place to cultivate and recuperate. Lu Xiaotian had only taken a quick glance the last time he was here. He didn't have the time to properly examine this small city in the clouds. Now that he took a closer look, there was a unique charm to it.
"Guest elder of the Abyss Hall, Lu Xiaotian, has come to pay a visit to Pill King Li." Lu Xiaotian called out as he descended to the end of the bluestone stairs and looked at the not-so-tall but solemn pagodas in front of him.
"Come in. This old man has been waiting for you for a long time. "An old voice came from inside.
Lu Xiaotian didn't need the guidance of the plainly-dressed pill apprentice with delicate features, red lips, white teeth, and a green hat to find Pill King Li's location. Lu Xiaotian's figure flashed, and he appeared in front of Pill King Li with a single step.
At this time, Pill King Li was lying leisurely on a stone chair. He sensed that someone had appeared in front of him, and his single eye slowly opened with some surprise. "It's you!"
"Pill King Li, long time no see." Lu Xiaotian nodded with a smile. "Pill King Li's elegance in refining the Bone Cleansing Pill last time was admirable. This one had obtained an incomplete pill recipe at the time and wanted to complete it. I hope Pill King Li can forgive me if I offended you. "
"It seems you've already figured out the pill recipe." Pill King Li sized up Lu Xiaotian with his single eye.
"I've seen Pill King Li refine it once with my own eyes, and with the incomplete pill recipe, it's most likely the case." Lu Xiaotian nodded. He had some confidence in this.
"If that's the case, then why are you looking for me?" Pill King Li's surprise faded, and he said expressionlessly.
"That's exactly why I'm puzzled. There shouldn't be any problems with the pill recipe, and this one's control of the spirit fire has reached a certain level. However, something went wrong during the refining process, and a precious spirit material was destroyed for no reason. "
Speaking of this, Lu Xiaotian also felt a little depressed. He had stayed in the Gale Gorge for nearly 60 years. He had already deduced the pill formula for the Buddha Dust Bone Cleansing Pill countless times. After all, it was related to his Dharmic powers to break through to the Body Integration Realm. How could Lu Xiaotian not do his best? However, the refinement of the Buddha Dust Bone Cleansing Pill still failed. Even with Yuan Tang's influence and the abundance of spirit materials in the Realm of Monsters of Chaos, it took Pill King Li over a hundred years to barely gather a portion of this incomparably precious spirit material. Even so, Lu Xiaotian still failed.
If it weren't for this failure, Lu Xiaotian would already be preparing to break through to the Body Integration Realm. He wouldn't have to run around like this.
Yuan Tang couldn't produce a second portion in a short amount of time, and it still lacked the most important Dustless Moonstar Grass. Yuan Tang had already placed a high bounty on the whereabouts of this spirit material. It wasn't certain when he'd be able to collect it. Since there was still time, Lu Xiaotian planned to meet Pill King Li in person. This was a fourth rank pill king whose pill refinement skills were even above his own.
"Why should I help you when we're not related in any way?" Pill King Li sneered.
"This one's pill refinement skills are inferior to Pill King Li's, and my cultivation is inferior to the Body Integration Realm cultivators in Yuan Tang. However, I am willing to pay a certain price to refine this pill. Is there anything Pill King Li needs this one to do for you? " Lu Xiaotian's attitude was extremely humble. Of course, Pill King Li's cultivation was still at the Divine Illusionary Realm, but his pill refinement skills were still worthy of Lu Xiaotian's respect.
"I'm just an old man nearing the end of his lifespan. What could I possibly need you to do for me?" Pill King Li's expression was dejected.
"I always have some unfinished business. This one's cultivation isn't very high among Body Integration Realm cultivators, but I'm a man of my word." Since Lu Xiaotian was already here, he wouldn't give up so easily.
"Is that so?" Pill King Li suddenly revealed a half smile.
"Pill King Li, feel free to speak your mind. As long as there's a glimmer of hope, I'll give it a try. " Lu Xiaotian was overjoyed to see that Pill King Li wasn't completely impenetrable. He wasn't afraid of the old man's conditions, he was afraid that he wouldn't ask for anything.
