Lu Xiaotian recalled the pill formulas that Kuang Ziyou had provided. These pill formulas were no secret to the Profound Jade Heavenly Court and the Honghao Heavenly Court. Once he reached a certain status as a third-grade pill saint, he would be able to come into contact with them. If Lu Xiaotian stayed in the Honghao Heavenly Court for a longer period of time, he would also be able to obtain these pill formulas.
The higher the pill saint's grade, the more secrets of the Heavenly Pill Palace one could come into contact with. At this moment, Kuang Ziyou had merely brought this process forward a little. However, although both heavenly courts had pill formulas for these four types of immortal pills, refining them was not easy.
Lu Xiaotian had a premonition that the other party would not let this matter rest. After all, leaving the Profound Jade Heavenly Court unscathed was not something that the Profound Jade Heavenly Court could accept easily. Even if it was for the sake of their reputation, they had to teach the other party a lesson. Otherwise, wouldn't they be showing weakness to the other party? Even if some people did not care about reputation, the majority of them would definitely support defeating the other party.
However, the other party knew that as a third-grade pill saint, his primordial spirit would definitely be far stronger than an ordinary Xuan Immortal's. It would be good to use the pill battle to damage a part of his consciousness.
Lu Xiaotian naturally knew the other party's plan. However, the other party was still guessing based on the strength of a third-grade pill saint. Lu Xiaotian knew that with the difficulty of refining these four types of immortal pills, it would take a great deal of effort for a third-grade pill saint to deduce the medicinal principles of the various immortal ingredients. It was definitely not something that could be done in a short time.
If a third-grade pill saint wanted to refine these four types of immortal pills at the same time, it would most likely be a waste of the pills. It would even be difficult for him to raise the cauldron.
However, Kuang Ziyou did not know that although Lu Xiaotian had not been a third-grade pill saint for long, in fact, he had not been a third-grade pill saint for long. In fact, he had possessed this strength even earlier when he refined the Clear Jade Immortal Pill's sacred spirit.
After refining the Elixir Saint Spirit, it was of great benefit to Lu Xiaotian's progress in alchemy. Not only did it increase the success rate of the Qingxuan Elixir to an extremely high level, but it also increased the success rate of other Elixirs.
With the Nascent Divinity of an ordinary Heaven Immortal, it would indeed take a great deal of time to deduce those pill formulas. It was not wrong for Kuang Ziyou to put himself in other people's shoes. Even when Kuang Ziyou agreed to Fu Lianyue's request to propose an Alchemy Battle to Lu Xiaotian, it was clearly done after careful consideration. However, Kuang Ziyou did not know that Lu Xiaotian's essence spirit was so strong that it was almost at the level of a Gold Immortal. It did not take much time for him to deduce these pill formulas, apart from the fact that it would affect Lu Xiaotian to a certain extent if he personally refined the pills. To Lu Xiaotian, it didn't make much of a difference whether it took longer or shorter to deduce the combination of various immortal ingredients and the process of refining pills.
However, since the other party had already brought it up, Lu Xiaotian felt that the other party would find a way to make it happen even if the duel wasn't set yet. Although the other party had already carefully calculated, Lu Xiaotian didn't have to refuse. It was just that it wasn't the right time to agree to the competition yet.
After all, Fan Xianzhou and the other Heaven Immortals couldn't fight for a fair competition for him. After seeing Chu Zhaoyang's methods, Lu Xiaotian didn't think that the other party would honestly compete with him. Chu Zhaoyang and his companions only wanted to win. As for what methods they used, the other party didn't care. Instead, they might even enjoy it.
In the following days, Lu Xiaotian spent the rest of his time on deducing those pill formulas in addition to his normal cultivation. On the third day after he finished deducing those pill formulas, someone from Star Cloud City came.
This time, the other party invited them to meet the City Lord of Star Cloud City, Xing Yichi. Fan Xianzhou naturally didn't dare ignore an invitation from a golden immortal. He led Lu Xiaotian, Mu Xia, Heavenly Marquis Nie, Beichen Yue, and Shi Mengjun to Star Cloud City.
However, before they entered the city, a green passageway extended in their direction, as if connecting different parts of the void together. Inside, a graceful woman in a purple dress sat on an ice throne. Four maidservants stood to her left and right, each holding a green jade pipa. They followed the woman through the passageway and landed at the entrance of the surging nebula.
"Although guests should follow the host's wishes, it was the Profound Jade Court's fault that you didn't come out to greet us. I'm afraid you're lacking in hospitality, City Lord. If you don't receive the proper treatment, we of the Honghao Celestial Court disdain dealing with rude people."
The graceful woman in purple spoke unhurriedly. She didn't take the large army of immortal soldiers at the entrance seriously. The purple-dressed woman's voice entered the magnificent and surging nebula, and no one knew where it went.
"Greetings, Empress Han Chi!" A trace of surprise flashed through Beichen Yue and Shi Mengjun's eyes, but they quickly bowed with Fan Xianzhou.
"Aunt Lian." Mu Xia happily greeted Han Chi Empress. Fan Xianzhou heaved a sigh of relief. Ever since he had been targeted by Chu Zhaoyang, he had been treading on thin ice on the battleship. He had no idea what Chu Zhaoyang would do next.
"I've troubled you these past few days," she waved her hand. The purple-robed woman waved her sleeves. "Come back with me. If Xing Yi doesn't show up later, you don't need to see anyone. Once the Starcloud Plank Road opens, I'll follow you to the Eastern Sea."
"Haha, I thought I was fast enough. Who would've thought you'd be one step ahead of me, Empress Han Chi? You traveled farther than I did, but you arrived before me. With Empress Han Chi personally presiding over the situation, there's no need for me to say anything more. "A long laugh rang out as a long-bearded man in green robes flew over on a cloud.
Then a grim-faced old man with white hair and a white beard appeared in their line of sight. Lu Xiaotian glanced at Mu Xia, Beichen Yue, and the others. He clicked his tongue in wonder. It seemed that no matter where one was, a powerful background could play a huge role. Even Heavenly Marquis Nie, who had a slightly lower status, couldn't have invited a golden immortal to preside over the situation so quickly.
"Cave Master Rong Xu." The green-robed man and Empress Han Chi nodded at the old man.
The old man grunted, then looked in the direction of Starcloud City. "I didn't think you'd come as well. That's good. Otherwise, they'll think there's no one in the Celestial Court of Honghao. Who would've thought they'd resort to such despicable means? Xing Yichi, how long are you going to be a coward? That brat Chu Zhaoyang doesn't know any better. Can't you see what's happening right under your nose? "
Cave Master Rong Xu's voice reverberated for hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Xing Yichi, the City Lord of Starcloud City, couldn't be a coward any longer.
"Cave Master Rong Xu, why are you so angry over a matter between the younger generation?" An indifferent voice rang out. As the City Lord of a region, if Xing Yichi didn't step forward now, he'd be letting down the reputation he'd built up.
