Passing through the Chaotic Green Ruins, Lu Xiaotian temporarily stopped at the Wind-Splitting Gorge. At this time, the Wind-Splitting Gorge was empty. The burning corpse, Che Da, Che Er, and Ye Ziyu were not there. The cage that held the Golden Roc had been opened, but Lu Xiaotian still felt the aura of the Golden Roc in the cave residence in the Wind-Splitting Gorge, but it was much weaker than before.
"The Golden Roc!"
The Golden Roc had been whipped for too long. The bones in its body were broken and restored, and then they were broken again by the whipping. Compared to before, he was thin and haggard. Except for the Golden Roc, who was still in the Wind-Splitting Gorge, the others were all empty.
"Master, you are back." When the Golden Roc saw Lu Xiaotian, the jealousy in its eyes flashed, and it was replaced by shock.
"Where did they all go?" No matter how fast the Golden Roc hid its expression, it could not hide from Lu Xiaotian's eyes. Lu Xiaotian did not care about it, and he did not want to waste any more time on the Golden Roc. If the Golden Roc was so persistent, there was nothing to say. Lu Xiaotian would not waste any more resources on the Golden Roc, nor would he return the Divided Soul in the Soul-locking Jade to it. He would let it live and die on its own.
"They heard that after the battle with the Buddhist monks at the Blue Mirror Lake, there was no news of you. They were worried about your safety, so they all went out to look for you," the Golden Roc explained.
"Nonsense." Lu Xiaotian frowned slightly and left the Wind-Splitting Gorge directly.
Looking at Lu Xiaotian's back, the Golden Roc could not help but expose the deep resentment in its heart. It had been imprisoned in the Blood-colored Prison for a hundred years and endured the pain of being whipped every day. The unforgettable pleasure had twisted the Golden Roc's mind to the extreme.
It was not only Lu Xiaotian, but also the burning corpse, and even the other people and demons in the Wind-Splitting Gorge. However, at the same time, the Golden Roc suddenly realized how powerful the master in front of him was. Few people could compare to him in terms of strength and wisdom. Even if he showed a trace of hostility, he might not be able to escape the master in front of him. Thinking about how the master didn't even look at him, the Golden Roc felt an inexplicable fear in his heart. It realized that in the past hundred years, it had been blinded by hatred. If it was really abandoned by its master, it was afraid that it would never be able to make a name for itself.
"Mr. Lu, you are finally back." Dong Feng was the direct contact between Lu Xiaotian and Nan Chendu. In the decades when Lu Xiaotian disappeared, Dong Feng's role had plummeted. Although Nan Chendu had some intention of winning him over, it was not strong. Dong Feng had also been hesitant. After all, compared to Lu Xiaotian, even if Nan Chendu wanted to win them over, he would not fight with the old demon in the Body Integration Realm for them like last time. Seeing that Lu Xiaotian had returned, Dong Feng was naturally overjoyed.
"Do you have a way to contact Miss Ye and Yu Zimo?" Lu Xiaotian asked.
"Yes, of course. Before they went to find you, they told me to inform them as soon as you came back." Dong Feng nodded quickly. "I will go and contact them now."
"Wait a minute." Lu Xiaotian stopped Dong Feng and then said, "These people are from the Stone Clan. They are under my protection. Help me settle them down temporarily. Don't let anything go wrong. I have to go to Cloud City."
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. I will make sure they are properly settled." Dong Feng glanced at the Stone Clan members not far away. There were only two or three of them at the early Soul Formation stage. The rest were all Nascent Soul stage juniors. Seeing that Lu Xiaotian valued them so much, Dong Feng couldn't help but feel puzzled. These people were far inferior to the yao and human slaves of Chaotic Green Ruins.
Lu Xiaotian reminded Ba Li and the Stone Clan members. He had no idea where Ye Ziyu and the others had gone. Even Dong Feng could only contact Ye Ziyu through a special sound transmission talisman. He couldn't find them even if he wanted to. At the same time, Lu Xiaotian was worried about the deal with Pill King Li.
After making some arrangements, Lu Xiaotian headed straight for Pill King Li's small city in the clouds.
"Good thing the old man is fine." Seeing that Pill King Li was even older than before, Lu Xiaotian finally let out a sigh of relief. When he left, Pill King Li's lifespan was only about a hundred years. However, a person's lifespan wasn't fixed. If there was an accident, Pill King Li could've died prematurely. If that happened, Lu Xiaotian could only admit that he was unlucky.
"After dozens of years, Lu Daoyou has finally returned." Pill King Li didn't look very excited when he saw Lu Xiaotian return. Instead, his eyes were filled with indifference.
"Pill King Li, don't you want to take a look at it?" Lu Xiaotian frowned. He had a bad feeling.
"There's no harm in taking a look. However, this old man doesn't have much hope. That Buddhist item has been in the spatial ring for dozens of years. Without the worship of a senior monk, it's most likely lost its original function. Even if you take it out now, it's just a piece of trash. "Pill King Li said expressionlessly.
"I'll have to take a look first." Lu Xiaotian's face turned a bit green. Although he had expected this during the day, this was the result he'd received after going through so much trouble for dozens of years. Lu Xiaotian wouldn't be satisfied if he didn't even take a look at the item.
Lu Xiaotian took out the wooden box. The originally rich Buddhist aura inside the wooden box was now almost non-existent.
When he opened it, all that was left was a withered piece of grass. There was no spirituality left.
"This is the Cloud Oyster Grass of the Pearl Buddhist Sect. It's a variant of the Cloud Oyster Grass with leaves that look like clouds. Every day, Buddhist monks would chant and imbue it with the power of will. This process would continue for another five thousand years until this item is complete. If you return immediately after taking it, it won't be damaged. Unfortunately, it took too long. "Pill King Li shook his head in disappointment after seeing the item.
"What's the use of this item? Is there a replacement?" Lu Xiaotian asked, still unwilling to give up.
"This Cloud Oyster Grass is filled with the power of will of the Buddhist Sect. It's then bestowed to the monk who cultivates it. It can become a powerful magic treasure. It can remove some of the unique restraints of the Buddhist Sect. It's not impossible to find a replacement. It must be a senior monk of the Buddhist Sect with the surname 'Ming'. It must be someone who has obtained the core arts of the Buddhist Sect and an inherited treasure of the Buddhist Sect to remove the restraints of the Buddhist Sect. Neither of the two can be missing. The latter is even rarer than the Cloud Oyster Grass. Where can you find it? "Pill King Li shook his head.
"An inherited treasure of the Buddhist Sect?" Lu Xiaotian's expression changed.
"The Ancestral Buddha Ancient Seal that you're cultivating is a core cultivation art of the Buddhist Sect. However, this cultivation art starts from the inside out. Even after reaching the Body Integration Stage, you'll still need a large amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to form the seal. If you've already formed the seal, it'll be easy to replace this Cloud Oyster Grass. However, even if you reach the Body Integration stage now, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for you to form the seal. "Pill King Li's tone was bleak.
