When he returned to the Chillywind Valley, Di Kun's aura was stronger than before. It was obvious that he had recovered well from his injuries. Back in the Chillywind Valley, Di Kun was like a fish in water.
However, Lu Xiaotian did not feel comfortable in the tomb or even in the Chillywind Valley. He found a place near the stream outside the Chillywind Valley and built a bamboo hut. Outside the bamboo hut, he set up a few simple formations. With Lu Xiaotian's current attainment in formations, he could not set up difficult formations, but some simple ones were not a problem.
Every day, Lu Xiaotian would refine elixirs in the bamboo hut. His second and third primordial spirits would take Soul-nourishing Elixirs to recuperate and constantly deduce formations.
Apart from that, Xiao Chen also had to cultivate every day. His comprehension of saber intent had also improved a little. Lu Xiaotian wondered when he would have time to go back to the Divine Firmament Palace or the Full Moon City to find some related books and manuals to understand the specific use of saber essence. At this time, his saber essence was quite powerful. Because he was constantly familiarizing himself with it, when he used saber essence to attack and cut the golden saber light, it consumed much less Dharma power. It was no longer like before, when he used all his strength to cut with the saber, it seemed to drain his Dharma power.
Including the time when he entered the Chillywind Valley and went back and forth to the Full Moon Forbidden Area, Lu Xiaotian had stayed here for one year and five months.
Lu Xiaotian was like an ordinary cultivator in the secular world. In the morning, he would sit facing the morning sun and feel the warmth of the sunlight. This wouldn't increase his cultivation, but Lu Xiaotian discovered by chance that it seemed to make his aura more peaceful. Previously, he had fought with the Winged Cavalry Tribe and escaped from danger. He had killed a lot of enemy cultivators, and these Winged Cavalry Tribe cultivators were experienced in hundreds of battles and had a strong murderous aura. As for the burly man Sha Ba and his dozen junior brothers and sisters, they were even more ruthless.
After Lu Xiaotian killed these people, from time to time, a trace of astonishing killing intent would emerge from his body. In the past, he had relied on the Breath Control Technique to forcefully restrain his aura so that it wouldn't leak out. However, the murderous aura on his body was accumulating more and more. Even with the use of the Breath Control Technique, a trace of it would occasionally leak out. For Lu Xiaotian, who had always wanted to conceal his aura, this was undoubtedly very disadvantageous.
Murderous aura would follow a person as they killed too many people. Even the generals of the mortal world who had been through hundreds of battles would be infected after killing too many people. Although the Immortal Cultivators had many tricks up their sleeves, the more powerful the opponents they killed, the more murderous aura they would be tainted with.
Lu Xiaotian had also failed to refine the Jin Dan multiple times over the past year. Not only had he wasted a lot of feys, but the continuous frustration had also inevitably made him a little irritable. When his state of mind was unstable, the murderous aura that had been suppressed by the Breath Concealment Technique burst forth. Even the birds and beasts in the surrounding forest suddenly scattered in fright.
Lu Xiaotian was also startled by the sudden leakage of his aura. Ever since he had cultivated the Breath Control Technique, he had never encountered such a situation.
The unstable state of mind caused by his failure to refine the Jin Dan made him decide to temporarily give up on these repeated attempts. He decided to temporarily relax and take a breather. As a result, he strolled around in a circle, looking at the boundless mountains in the vicinity. High mountains, flowing rivers, birds, and beasts.
After strolling around, he discovered that his state of mind had calmed down a bit. Even the suppressed murderous aura had weakened a bit. Later, Lu Xiaotian returned to the bamboo hut to refine pills, but he still failed to refine the Jin Dan. Lu Xiaotian could only calmly accept this. It seemed that the breakthrough from Intermediate Alchemist to Advanced Alchemist wasn't that easy.
However, the unexpected stroll allowed Lu Xiaotian to find a way to eliminate the murderous aura on his body. In addition to comprehending the scenery between heaven and earth, this kind of meditation could also have a corresponding effect.
While comprehending the peaceful aura between heaven and earth, Lu Xiaotian didn't even realize that there was an additional aura of Primordial Origin in his body.
Lu Xiaotian, who was originally comprehending this kind of concept, suddenly opened his eyes and glanced slightly into the distance. A silver-gray light flashed by.
With a whoosh, a tiger's head, leopard's body, three tails, a colorful feather on his forehead, a slender silver-gray body, and a pair of wings spread out. Di Kun flashed through the air and cheerfully landed beside Lu Xiaotian. At this time, the silver-gray light on Di Kun's body was even more dazzling than before. It was obvious that after recovering from his injuries in the fierce battle, Di Kun's strength had increased a bit.
A moment later, two gloomy and strange auras in the sky came closer and closer. It was Ge Changting and Xiao Sanniang.
"Young Master Lu." The two landed from the sky and respectfully saluted Lu Xiaotian with cupped fists. For more than a year, although they were exhausted from constantly refining the Yin Evil Fire Essence for Lu Xiaotian, they had also taken several Soul Nourishing Pills. Not only were their injuries completely healed, but their cultivation had also improved.
It was just that the two of them felt that the Lu Xiaotian in front of them seemed to be a little different from before. In the past, he was calm and even a bit cold. But now, there seemed to be more of a peaceful and unique aura of Primordial Origin around him. He looked like a young man next door. But even if you beat them to death, the two of them would never believe that the Lu Xiaotian in front of them was an ordinary young man.
From the change in his temperament, they felt that his strength was more restrained, and he had returned to his original state. It was likely that Lu Xiaotian's cultivation had improved again in the past year. Originally, the two of them thought that their strength had improved, but when they thought of Lu Xiaotian's terrifying cultivation, they couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts.
"These are the Yin Evil Fire Essence that we refined according to Young Master's instructions." The two of them took out small bottles and handed them to Lu Xiaotian. With the growth of their strength, and Lu Xiaotian increasing the supply of pills, although the time taken this time was shorter than the last time, they refined more Yin Evil Fire Essence.
"Well, this is the rest of the reward for you. There are some things that the skinny ghost cultivator used. I believe that you two will find them useful." Lu Xiaotian threw a storage pouch to each of them.
The two of them opened the storage pouch and glanced inside. Immediately, they were pleasantly surprised. In addition to the extremely important Soul Nourishing Pills, some of the things that the skinny ghost cultivator left behind were also rare to the two of them. After all, the two of them were only at the mid-stage Ghost Monkey Realm, while the skinny ghost cultivator was an extremely powerful late-stage Ghost Monkey Realm cultivator. The ghost cultivator's Ghost Dao Artifacts and other auxiliary items were much better than the two of them.
"Thank you, Young Master. You are really our benefactor." Xiao Sanniang beamed. "Will you come to Ill Wind Valley again in the future?"
