Even so, before obtaining the Spirit Accumulation Gourd, even though Lu Xiaotian had five primordial spirits, he still felt a little overwhelmed. After all, in addition to his own cultivation, he still needed to comprehend formations every day. In all kinds of dangerous situations, one's own cultivation sometimes did not play a decisive role, especially in the ruins of some ancient cultivators. For example, last time in the Great Piaomiao Palace, if he did not have some attainments in formations, he would have been dead by now.
In addition, when he was in the Foundation Establishment stage, Lu Xiaotian obtained the gray stone from the Black Wind Demonic Python and the Southern Wilderness cultivators. Although he did not study it as frequently as before, he had never given up. There was also a saying in the secular world, "If you don't accumulate steps, you can't travel a thousand miles. If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't form a river or an ocean."
Even with his current cultivation and strength, the Black Wind Demonic Python's attack and escape that ignored the distance between them were some incredible methods. Because whether it was him or Di Kun whose strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, no matter how fast they were, they could not directly travel through a small space like the Black Wind Demonic Python. Lu Xiaotian believed that if he could master this method, perhaps even the late stage Jin Dan cultivators would not be able to win against him. At close range, it was simply impossible to guard against. At that time, the Black Wind Demonic Python could be considered unlucky. Before it had fully grown, it had already fallen into his hands.
Now that he already had several Core Stage magical items and the Suppressing Demon Pagoda, he was not in a hurry to obtain other powerful magical items for the time being. The gray stone of the Black Wind Demonic Python was only a long-term goal. Not to mention a few decades, even if it was a hundred years, two hundred years, or even three hundred years, as long as he could make a breakthrough in the end, in Lu Xiaotian's view, it was completely worth it to spend some effort.
Spring passed and autumn came, but the lotus flowers in the Red Leaf Lotus Pond near the small courtyard never withered. The large lotus leaves undulated with the wind. The growth of the sixth-order Red Leaf Lotus was extremely slow. Now, it was undulating in the lotus pond. It was estimated that it had been two hundred years for it to be like this.
Every summer, when the wind blew to the south, Lu Xiaotian's courtyard could smell the lotus fragrance from the lotus pond. Occasionally, a group of spirit birds would fly by and chirp.
Occasionally, when he returned from the abandoned well, Lu Xiaotian would open the door to the courtyard and lie on the deck chair in the courtyard, leisurely basking in the sun.
Although Lu Xiaotian continued to cultivate diligently, inspired by the cultivators of the Scarlet Abyss Continent, he didn't have as much understanding of the outside world as before. Instead, from time to time, he would ask the odd-job workers in the backyard. Later, he sent out a report, which was actually a relatively simple jade slip. It recorded some of the recent major events in the various countries, as well as some interesting news in the cultivation world. Even the affairs of the secular world were not uncommon. For example, the Wolf Rider Kingdom in the north had encountered a rare cold that froze countless mortals to death. The Wolf Rider Kingdom's feys were damaged in large batches. In order to alleviate the loss of the feys, the Wolf Rider Kingdom launched a war against the Western Nether Kingdom, invaded the Western Nether Kingdom, and occupied a large area of the Western Nether Kingdom's land.
Or a Nascent Soul ghost cultivator called Old Monster Bone Spirit caused havoc in the Lihuo Kingdom. He killed a mid Nascent Soul cultivator of the Lihuo Kingdom, massacred more than ten cities, and harvested millions of cultivators and mortals. Later, he was seriously injured by two late Nascent Soul cultivators of the Lihuo Kingdom, and escaped with his life in the Gloomy Mountain Range.
Or the Da Qi Kingdom's Princess Consort of Xiang City and a guard of the Prince's Mansion developed feelings for each other over time. They did some shady business and were accidentally recorded by a Shadow Recording Stone. When the Prince of Xiang City's mortal enemy activated the Shadow Recording Stone in front of everyone, the Prince of Xiang City, who had a green mark on his forehead, was about to return and fly into a rage when he discovered that the Princess Consort had committed suicide out of shyness. The Jin Dan guard was also shot to death by arrows from the Prince's Mansion.
Gradually, Lu Xiaotian also adapted to this kind of life. He didn't relax in his cultivation, but he also didn't deliberately avoid everything that happened outside. He even took the initiative to approach.
Ever since he entered the Zhenwei Marquis Estate, Lu Xiaotian's life had been unprecedentedly peaceful. There was no killing, no scheming against other cultivators, and he was just a pure cultivator. He spent most of his time cultivating, occasionally understanding what was happening outside, or going to Wushang City. In the past few decades, he had already sold off all the Jin Dan grade demon materials he had on hand. However, in order to refine the Demon Formation Pagoda, apart from a few top-grade spirit stones, wind, thunder, and ice spirit stones that he hadn't used, the rest of the spirit stones he had on hand had either been used to mature the Silver Leaf Buddha Tree, or had been exchanged for spirit stones needed by the Silver Leaf Buddha Tree. Only a portion of the remaining spirit stones were used to mature the Silver Leaf Buddha Tree.
Lu Xiaotian had never felt that he was so short of spirit stones. Fortunately, he could still refine some pills and sell some from time to time. It wasn't as if he had no spirit stones to use. In reality, his current situation was similar to that of most cultivators. Most cultivators were rushing about for the pills and magic tools they needed for their cultivation. Although his cultivation talent was slightly inferior in the past, he didn't experience the hardships involved. Without spirit stones, everything was difficult to continue. Lu Xiaotian thought that if it weren't for his high level of skill in alchemy, his situation wouldn't be much better than those ordinary cultivators.
He went to the abandoned well to cut up the Silver Leaf Buddha Tree and rearranged the cut pieces. He cultivated in a small courtyard, occasionally going to the lotus pond to enjoy the breeze, or buying a newspaper to understand the recent happenings in Wushang City and other countries.
Occasionally, there would be some small incidents. Several years ago, a large number of demon beasts in the Black Sky Mountain Range formed a beast tide that attacked the border towns of the Da Qi Kingdom. Zhenwei Marquis led the elites of the estate to the Da Qi Kingdom to resist the beast tide.
Only Cao Kun, Second Young Master Cao Bao, and daughter Cao Xier were left in the estate. Eldest Young Master Cao Wei accompanied his father to battle. In the entire Zhenwei Marquis Estate, only Cao Kun's subordinate, the Di You Hound, stood guard. Most of the time, an eighth grade spirit beast was enough to solve a lot of problems. However, spirit beasts were still spirit beasts in the end. Under some circumstances, they weren't as cautious as human cultivators. A flower thief used a type of Green Confusion Powder to cause the Di You Hound's nose to malfunction. He and another person secretly entered the Zhenwei Marquis Estate. With the cultivation of the middle stage Flower Thief Jin Dan, he easily restrained Cao Xier who was bathing. However, even though the Flower Picking Bandit had temporarily disabled the Di Serene Hound's nose, he still could not blindfold the eyes of the Di Serene Hound, a Level Eight demonic beast, nor could he change the vigilance of a Level Eight demonic beast.
