The Spirit Qi on the island was also not abundant, but this floating island was quite big. Water Spirit Qi was the majority, and there were also some other Spirit Qi. Although ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators were not willing to stay in this place, it was relatively better than other places in the Silent Star Lake.
According to Zhao Yuanjun, the heavy water in the Silent Star Lake had a pattern. Usually, the location of the heavy water would not change too much in a few years, and this floating island just happened to be within the range of the heavy water's activity. Everyone was overjoyed and opened up their own small cave abodes on this floating island.
Lu Xiaotian also opened up a small stone room in a mountain wall.
After establishing a base, everyone went out to search every day. Sitting here and recovering magic power was also much faster than before, so everyone's efficiency in searching the area of the heavy water had greatly increased. However, perhaps their luck was not good. The few times they found Star Eyed Stonefish, it was like a flash in the pan. When everyone rushed over, it was already gone.
Lu Xiaotian was also a little depressed. He did not encounter it every time he went out. Even Zhao Yuanjun, who was in the same team as him, had a dark face. He did not know who was the one with bad luck.
This kind of extremely boring search continued for more than a year. At this time, in Lu Xiaotian's stone room, Lu Xiaotian, who was sitting in a wheelchair, closed his eyes and meditated for a while. After that, he took out a small bottle. He opened the bottle cork. A palm-sized fire dragon flew out from inside. This fire dragon only had the aura of a rank four fire dragon. It was the weakest fire dragon he had collected in the Earth Flame Mountain. He had stayed outside the Chillywind Valley for more than a year, and stayed in the Silent Star Lake for more than a year. In total, it had been nearly three years. The time Lu Xiaotian spent cultivating the "Soul Devouring Grand Art" was not long, but it was not short either. In addition, after he split his third primordial spirit, he was multitasking. The main primordial spirit was responsible for daily cultivation, alchemy, and comprehending saber intent. The second primordial spirit was responsible for deducing formations, and the third primordial spirit was responsible for studying the "Soul Devouring Grand Art". In three years, the time spent on formations and the "Soul Devouring Grand Art" was two to three times that of an ordinary cultivator.
After all, it was impossible for an ordinary cultivator to possess so many Primordial Spirits like Lu Xiaotian. However, Lu Xiaotian wasn't very satisfied with his progress in the field of formations. If it weren't for his resolute nature, he would have given up on the incomparably dry deduction of formations. However, when he thought of the dangers in the Immortal Cultivation World and the fact that he had an extra skill that could save his life at a critical moment, Lu Xiaotian gritted his teeth and continued.
In comparison, the cultivation of the Great Soul Devouring Art was a little smoother. However, there was also a drawback to cultivating the Great Soul Devouring Art. Other than the basic mental cultivation method, one also needed a large number of Demon Beast Essences to do experiments. At this time, Lu Xiaotian could not casually use the Rank Seven Fire Flood Dragon's Soul Essence. After all, there was only one. If an accident occurred during the refining process, he would not be able to find a second one. Other than the Type 7 Fire Wyrm Soul Essence, there were also Type 5 and Type 6 Fire Wyrm Soul Essences. The Type 6 Fire Wyrm Soul Essence was also very precious and could not be casually wasted. The only ones that could be used for experiments were the Type 4 and Type 5 ones.
Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but bitterly smile. He could only blame the Silent Star Lake for having too few Demon Beasts. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to worry about this matter.
The Fire Wyrm Soul Essence's angry roar pulled Lu Xiaotian back from his thoughts. The Fire Wyrm Soul Essence clearly had enough resentment towards the human cultivator who had killed it.
"Even when you had a physical body, you weren't my opponent. Now that you only have a Primordial Spirit Essence left, you still want to jump around?" Seeing the palm-sized Fire Wyrm Soul Essence in front of him, Lu Xiaotian faintly smiled and flicked his finger. A few strands of grey Qi like threads spread towards the Fire Wyrm.
When the Fire Wyrm Soul Essence saw the grey threads wrap around it, it was suddenly startled and immediately fled outside. If it escaped out of the cave and didn't have a suitable body to possess, it would eventually turn into ashes. However, it was still better than being tortured to death by the human in front of it.
Lu Xiaotian didn't care about the Fire Wyrm Soul Essence's actions. However, just as the Fire Wyrm Soul Essence was about to escape out of the cave, it suddenly stopped. A transparent barrier appeared in front of the Primordial Spirit Essence. This was the formation that Lu Xiaotian had set up to prevent the Primordial Spirit Essence from escaping. After all, he had been immersed in the Dao of Formations for several years and had repeatedly deduced various formations. For the time being, he wasn't able to set up a powerful formation that could deal with Foundation Establishment cultivators. However, the Fire Wyrm Soul Essence was only a Type 4 Fire Wyrm Soul Essence, so it naturally wasn't much of a problem.
When the Fire Wyrm Soul Essence slammed into the restriction, it cried out in pain and turned away. However, it was still bruised and swollen. Because Lu Xiaotian had used the Soul Capture Technique for the first time, he wasn't very familiar with it. However, he wasn't in a hurry. In any case, the Fire Wyrm Soul Essence wouldn't be able to escape from his grasp.
The grey threads that shot out from Lu Xiaotian's fingers were rather jerky at first and weren't very flexible. The Fire Wyrm Soul Essence was able to escape in all directions. However, this cave had already been restricted by Lu Xiaotian, so the Fire Wyrm Soul Essence could only move about in a limited space. It couldn't escape.
As time passed, Lu Xiaotian was able to control more and more grey threads, and their movements became more flexible.
The few grey threads that started with the wind had now turned into dozens of grey threads. They were densely packed and had already formed a small net.
After several hours, the small grey net chased after the Fire Wyrm Soul Essence for a long time before finally catching it. The Fire Wyrm Soul Essence struggled in the grey net for a while before breaking out of the net.
Lu Xiaotian frowned slightly, but soon relaxed. After all, this was his first time practicing the Secret Technique of the Soul Devouring Technique, so he didn't expect to succeed on his first try. Whether it was alchemy or deducing formations, he had experienced too many failures. Only by standing up from failure could he go further.
Soon, the grey threads once again weaved into a small net in the air and covered the Fire Wyrm Soul Essence.
The Fire Wyrm Soul Essence broke out of the net again and again, but it took longer and longer to break out.
For several days in a row, Lu Xiaotian was engaged in this game of cat and mouse. Seven days later, no matter how hard the Fire Wyrm Soul Essence struggled, it couldn't break out of the grey net. Lu Xiaotian's face showed a satisfied smile. It wasn't easy to cultivate this Soul Devouring Technique. With his current cultivation base, he was only barely able to imprison this fourth grade soul essence, and he had to prevent this soul essence from suffering too much damage. If it were the Seventh Order Fire Wyrm Soul Essence, who knows how long it would take.
Just as he was about to proceed to the next step of refining, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from outside the cave. Lu Xiaotian's face lit up. This was the warning sound they had agreed upon. It was the sound of the Star Eyed Stonefish.
