"Go to the Thousand Chord Temple and get something for me. I'll help you solve the mystery of the Bone Cleansing Pill," Pill King Li said.
"The Thousand Chord Temple?" Lu Xiaotian's eyes narrowed. The Thousand Chord Temple was a branch of the Pearl Buddhist Sect, just like the Qingyuan Temple in Yuan Spirit City. The outside world only knew that the Blue Mirror Lake was located outside of the Chaos Demon Region. As for its exact location, forget about the outside world, even many people from the Pearl Buddhist Sect only knew a part of it. Not only was its location a mystery, but it was rumored that the senior monks overseeing the temple were at least Body Integration cultivators of the 'Ming' generation.
"Are you afraid?" Pill King Li smiled, but the disappointment in his eyes was hard to hide.
"I'm not afraid just hearing about the Thousand Chord Temple. Pill King Li, please tell me what you want and how much you know about the Thousand Chord Temple. I'm sure you won't send me to my death even if I agree, "Lu Xiaotian said.
"You're the first one to say that." Pill King Li was a little surprised. He then explained his request and the situation at the Thousand Chord Temple.
"There's at least one mid Body Integration cultivator and two early Body Integration cultivators of the 'Ming' generation overseeing the Thousand Chord Temple?" Lu Xiaotian's expression suddenly turned ugly.
"It's not too late to regret it. Just forget about what happened after you leave this door." Pill King Li lay back down.
"Although the Bone Cleansing Pill is extremely precious, Pill King Li's conditions are a little too high. It'd be best for me to get this pill, but if I have no other choice, I can use other pills as a substitute."
Lu Xiaotian frowned. He didn't leave immediately. Although he said that, he didn't have any better ideas for now. Pills for reaching the Body Integration realm were all extremely rare, and other pills weren't that easy to find. Moreover, he'd already made so many preparations for the Bone Cleansing Pill. Giving up now and looking for other pills might not necessarily lead to better results.
Lu Xiaotian knew himself very well. His cultivation talent was not outstanding. The reason he was able to cultivate to his current level, aside from countless near-death encounters, was because of years of bitter cultivation and his attainments in alchemy. Now that the Green Fruit Barrier couldn't be used as it should be, Lu Xiaotian was having a hard time just collecting some rare feys.
"In that case, what are you waiting for? Go look for other spirit pills," Pill King Li replied to Lu Xiaotian.
"Can't we change it to something else? There are three eminent monks of the 'Ming' generation guarding the Thousand Sound Temple, and one of them is at the mid-stage Body Integration Stage. Coupled with the Thousand Sound Temple's defenses, even a few Body Integration Stage mighty figures from Yuan Tang won't be able to gain much of an advantage," Lu Xiaotian said.
"This old man has lived for a long time and is about to die of old age. Other than this item, there is nothing else that I want. If you don't think it's possible, then forget about it. "Pill King Li shook his head, showing no signs of relenting.
"Of course, in addition to the Bone Cleansing Pill, this old man also has a relatively complete set of alchemy techniques from the Pearl Buddhist Sect. The reason why so few pill kings in the outside world can reach the fourth grade or higher is because they lack an inheritance. This inheritance is accumulated over several generations, or even dozens of generations. No matter how talented you are, if you want to make some achievements in the Dao of Alchemy while cultivating both body and energy, if you can't obtain an orderly inheritance, you can only wait until you cultivate to a higher realm and wait for time to pass. "
"I'm sure you've already seen that this old man originally came from the Pearl Buddhist Sect. However, due to some accident, I betrayed the sect. With the help of some people, I escaped to the Realm of Monsters of Chaos. Because of the oath the Pearl Buddhist Sect made, experts of the 'Ming' generation and above are not allowed to casually enter the Realm of Monsters of Chaos. Otherwise, there would be no place for me in this vast world. With your talent in alchemy, if you can obtain this old man's inheritance, becoming a fourth grade pill king will be a cinch. Even the legendary fifth grade is very possible. "
"Fifth grade pill king?" Even Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but reveal a look of shock.
"With the inheritance I have, fifth grade shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't hold back," Pill King Li said. "Is this inheritance worth the risk?"
Lu Xiaotian's eyes flashed as he quickly weighed the pros and cons. The further one progressed in alchemy, the harder it was to improve. Pill King Li wasn't wrong. For someone like him, who was like an inferior third grade pill king, if he couldn't obtain an appropriate inheritance, it would be very difficult for him to improve further. Moreover, Lu Xiaotian valued Pill King Li's Buddhist origins even more. He cultivated the Mahākāśyapa Sutra and obtained the Bodhi Starspirit, which was greatly beneficial to his cultivation of Buddhist arts. They were all Buddhist treasures. The True Fire of Nirvana, the Profound Faceless Fire, the Yao-Sealing Pagoda he refined himself, and the sarira. It could be said that the pill dao inheritance of the Buddhist Sect that Pill King Li spoke of was perfect for Lu Xiaotian.
Not to mention just one item from the Thousand Chord Temple. It would be worth it even if the Thousand Chord Temple was turned upside down. Of course, the prerequisite was that Lu Xiaotian had the ability to do so.
"No matter how good the inheritance is, I need to be alive to take it. With my current strength, it's impossible for me to barge into the Thousand Chord Temple. Pill King Li, you must have a reason for making this request. "
Lu Xiaotian was very certain that Pill King Li had less than a hundred years of life left. Due to his old age, he couldn't even refine a high grade pill like the Bone Cleansing Pill again. He probably didn't want to enter his coffin with regrets.
"Of course I have some backup plans. I obtained a map of the Thousand Chord Temple in the Pearl Buddhist Sect. If it were a mid Body Integration expert who was proficient in formations and wasn't restrained by the Buddhist Sect, there might be a glimmer of hope. Unfortunately, your cultivation level is still too low. " Pill King Li glanced at Lu Xiaotian. "If it weren't for the fact that the other mid Body Integration experts didn't even have the courage to try, I wouldn't be talking about this with an early body cultivator like you."
"A map of the Thousand Chord Temple? It'll be a lot more convenient with that. However, I still need some things that I must get from you. If you can gather them, I might as well make a trip to the Thousand Chord Temple. " Lu Xiaotian calmed down a little when he heard that there was a map of the Thousand Chord Temple. His flickering eyes suddenly became resolute.
"You're quite daring. What do you want?" Pill King Li's lazy demeanor immediately perked up when he heard Lu Xiaotian's words.
"The nascent spirits of Body Integration realm demon beasts, the more the better. The stronger the realm, the better. The same goes for the nascent spirits of Divine Illusionary realm demon beasts. In addition, it'd be better if there were offensive and aura-concealing treasures used by body cultivators, "Lu Xiaotian said. He had a close relationship with Nan Chendu. He was using a portion of the Abyss Hall's resources to collect demon beast nascent spirits, but that was only a portion of Nan Chendu's resources. Nan Chendu might help him, but he couldn't help him unconditionally. There was a limit to how much he could do.
