"That's fine, let's part ways here." The smile on the purple-headscarf man's face stiffened, but he tactfully left with the twins.
Huo Ying withdrew his magic tool and asked, "Those three aren't weak. Why didn't Brother Yu leave them behind? If they could pave the way for us, it would be much easier for us."
"It's hard to know what's in a person's heart. Who knows what they're thinking? Moreover, if we only needed a few people to pave the way, we could've pulled one or two people from our clans. Why bother with these people of unknown origins? Besides, Brother Lu's patience isn't very good. With so many people, the amount of Soul Steadying Pills we'll need to consume is unpredictable. It might not even be enough for ourselves, so how could we have the time to help others? These people's auras seem impetuous. They've clearly been affected. If they go crazy, we'll have to do something. "Yu Dongbao glanced at Lu Xiaotian with a trace of a smile.
"That's true. Then let's go." Huo Ying nodded in agreement with Yu Dongbao.
"It's only four hours away from here. That's where the Three Leaf Soul-Steadying Grass is located. Let's make as little noise as possible. There are other cultivators entering this place. If they know we have a surplus of Soul Steadying Pills, they won't be so desperate." Mu Zixin coldly said.
Huo Ying, on the other hand, glanced at Lu Xiaotian with ill intentions.
Lu Xiaotian understood. If he couldn't refine the pills, his fate would be self-evident. However, Lu Xiaotian inwardly sneered. If he wanted to leave, even if they joined hands, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
They were quite familiar with this place. It seemed as though this wasn't their first time here. On the way here, they encountered a few other waves of Shadowweasels. However, with their previous experience, they didn't need to expend too much effort to deal with them. Although Demon Beasts were powerful, they couldn't compare to human cultivators in some aspects. Only after becoming Demon Beasts would they be no different from ordinary people and their spiritual sense would be greatly improved.
With the interlude of the Shadow Weasels, their speed was greatly reduced. They spent nearly half the time they had expected. They came to a stone wall covered in moss, just like the other places. Beneath their feet was a shallow layer of water dust. There were also a few low-level demon snakes in the water. Sensing their auras, they were so scared that they curled up in the shallow water, not daring to move.
Yu Dongbao snorted and took out a small disk array and threw it at the stone wall. Lu Xiaotian narrowed his eyes. If he didn't look closely, it would be difficult to find that the stone wall was actually a Camouflage Array. No wonder they didn't kill the few low-level Demon Snakes in the water. Firstly, they were too lazy to do it. Secondly, keeping them alive would serve as a better disguise.
The formation plate was tossed out, and the stone wall split open, revealing a lush stone cave behind it. A calming aura assailed his nostrils.
"Three Leaf Soul Setting Grass!" Lu Xiaotian recognized the origin of this Spiritual Grass at a glance.
"Not bad. The rest is up to you, Brother Lu. Without the pills you refine, we won't be able to move an inch. "Shao Zixia winked at Lu Xiaotian.
Lu Xiaotian nodded and didn't stand on ceremony. He followed Yu Dongbao into the stone cave. This stone cave was actually filled with Three Leaf Soul Setting Grass. Once this grass left the place where it grew, it had to be refined into a pill within a few hours. Even a jade box couldn't prevent the loss of its spirituality. That was why Yu Dongbao and the others had painstakingly invited Lu Xiaotian here.
Seeing that Yu Dongbao had rearranged the formation on the stone wall, Lu Xiaotian glanced around and found that there were many other caves in the stone cave. He found a relatively spacious cave and set up a Dharma Array at the entrance of the cave, which could prevent other cultivators from spying on them. He picked a few stalks of Three Leaf Soul Setting Grass and said to Yu Dongbao, "Every four hours, pick five stalks of Three Leaf Soul Setting Grass and place them at the entrance of the cave. I will take them myself. Don't try to enter the cave and affect my pill refining."
With that, Lu Xiaotian didn't wait for anyone to reply and entered the cave.
"You just know how to refine some Spiritual Pills. You really think you're something." Huo Ying saw that Lu Xiaotian didn't discuss with anyone before entering the cave, and his face was very unhappy.
"The Soul Setting Pill isn't something that anyone can refine. Just the fact that he can refine the Soul Setting Pill means that he is at least an Intermediate Alchemist. No matter which family or Celestial Dynasty, this kind of talent isn't something an ordinary Jin Dan cultivator can compare to. In addition, this person is already a Jin Dan cultivator. Not only is his cultivation not low, but he also has some achievements in the Dao of Alchemy. This isn't something an ordinary person can do. It's normal for a capable person to have a bit of a strange temper. "Yu Dongbao chuckled and didn't mind. "As long as he can really refine Spiritual Pills, even if his personality is a bit eccentric, he can still be a trustworthy person."
"Yes, I think this person is rather mysterious. Let's not rashly offend this person. Otherwise, it won't be easy to ask him to do something in the future." Shao Zixia added as she glanced at Huo Ying with deep meaning.
Huo Ying snorted coldly and didn't say anything. No one knew what he was thinking.
At this time, Lu Xiaotian entered the cave and took out the Alchemy Furnace. The Soul Setting Pill was a very unique kind of Spiritual Pill. It only needed the Three-Leaf Soul Setting Grass and didn't need any other supplementary herbs. It wasn't easy to successfully refine it. Lu Xiaotian had never refined it before. The first few furnaces had to be practiced.
However, Lu Xiaotian's current attainments in Alchemy were quite high. There were very few Spiritual Pills used by Jin Dan cultivators that he couldn't refine, especially the Condensed Jin Dan. For a high-level Alchemist, it was one of the most difficult Spiritual Pills to refine.
After the first two furnaces failed, the third furnace successfully produced Spiritual Pills. However, the rate of Spiritual Pills produced was not high, only one Spiritual Pill per furnace. However, the entire cave was filled with Three-Leaf Soul Setting Grass. Lu Xiaotian could afford to waste it, and he also had the support of the barrier in his body.
Later on, as the number of times he refined increased, Lu Xiaotian quickly became familiar with the refining method of this Spiritual Pill. It stabilized at around three to four Spiritual Pills per furnace. After repeating this several times, Lu Xiaotian felt that there weren't many problems. He took out a low-level puppet and used his Secondary Primordial Spirit to control it to refine Spiritual Pills. He sat in a corner of the cave. After thinking for a while, he felt uneasy and added a few more layers of restrictions at the entrance of the cave.
Then, he sat back and stretched out his hand. A jade bone with astonishing Spiritual Energy appeared in his palm. There was a large piece missing on it, and on the jade bone, there was a shadow of an orchid. Several rays of Sword Qi lingered around it.
"Nirvana Bone Sword Orchid!" Lu Xiaotian's face carried an inexplicable expression. In addition to the hidden dangers of the Misty Sword Qi in his body, he also had some expectations for the Misty Sword Formation. At this time, the Spiritual Pill condensed in his body still didn't have much offensive power. He could only casually release a few rays of Sword Qi, but he still couldn't bring the Spiritual Pill out of his body to repel the enemy. However, according to the records of the Misty Sword Art, once the Nirvana Bone Sword Orchid was fused, the Spiritual Pill would undergo a rebirth and become a powerful Spiritual Artifact that could be brought out of his body at any time to repel the enemy. It was an existence infinitely close to a Spiritual Artifact.
Lu Xiaotian flicked his finger and the jade bone flew out of the jade box. A huge amount of Spiritual Energy suddenly erupted like a flash flood along with Sword Qi. Lu Xiaotian's face was slightly shocked. If he hadn't strengthened a few more restrictions, this Spiritual Energy fluctuation would have startled Yu Dongbao and the others outside the cave.
At this time, Lu Xiaotian controlled the low-level puppet to methodically place the Spiritual Bamboo Charcoal under the pill furnace and control the fire. Lu Xiaotian's main body continuously clapped his hands and released a large amount of Spiritual Energy that wrapped around the Nirvana Bone Sword Orchid. The Spiritual Energy wrapped around the Nirvana Bone Sword Orchid was constantly eroding towards the center. This process was very slow. Ordinary cultivators couldn't even feel this subtle change with the naked eye. However, during this refining process, Lu Xiaotian could feel a faint connection between himself and the Nirvana Bone Sword Orchid.
The Spiritual Pill in his body immediately felt the changes in the Spiritual Energy that flowed back into his body. The Spiritual Pill was like a shark that smelled blood. It became restless in his dantian and began to swim along his meridians, chasing after the Spiritual Energy that flowed back into his body from the outside. It absorbed the Spiritual Energy of the Nirvana Bone Sword Orchid. With every bit of aura it absorbed, Lu Xiaotian could feel the sword pill's form becoming more solid bit by bit.
The Spiritual Pill was becoming more powerful at a speed visible to the naked eye. According to the records of the Misty Sword Art, as long as the Kongming Sword Stone was fused into the body to refine the Sword Pill and gather eight Sword Pills, one's cultivation would be enough to use the Misty Sword Formation. This Sword Formation could destroy ghosts and devils. Its power was extraordinary. After the Spiritual Pill and the Nirvana Bone Sword Orchid merged into one, even if he didn't use the Misty Sword Formation, he could still fight alone. After all, the Spiritual Energy and Spiritual Sense consumed by the Sword Formation was not something ordinary cultivators could bear.
As he continued to refine the Nirvana Bone Sword Orchid, Lu Xiaotian faintly felt that the Sword Comprehension Stele seemed to have some changes. So he took out the Sword Comprehension Stele again. His Spiritual Sense was immersed in it without any hindrance. In the misty space of the stele, a large amount of Sword Qi was still there.
Suddenly, the Sword Qi seemed to move strangely. The Sword Qi weaved left and right like iron strokes and silver hooks, cutting through the air in mysterious trajectories. Vaguely, they formed a few simple characters.
Misty Sword Art, "Illusory Rain Falling Sword Style!"
The Sword Qi continued to gather above his head, forming a giant sword. The transparent giant sword seemed to be able to swallow clouds and spit out mist, like a giant demon between heaven and earth. In an instant, the giant sword fell down on Lu Xiaotian's Primordial Spirit.
Lu Xiaotian was suddenly shocked. Even though he was inside the stele, Lu Xiaotian felt that the giant sword was far away. However, he had seen the power of the Misty Sword Qi, so he didn't really think that this illusion was real. In an instant, the giant sword seemed to have split into thousands of forms, falling from the sky like rain. With the strength of Lu Xiaotian's Primordial Spirit, although he could see that many of the Sword Qi were illusory and had no lethality, he couldn't identify all of the Sword Qi in such a short time. Not to mention the other Jin Dan cultivators.
In the blink of an eye, the seemingly endless Sword Qi had already arrived. The thousands of Sword Rain scattered and turned into one of them, pointing directly at Lu Xiaotian's forehead. Lu Xiaotian's Primordial Spirit felt a kind of fear from the bottom of his heart. At this moment, he felt that his Primordial Spirit was about to be cut apart by the giant sword, with nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape.
However, at this moment, the giant sword also turned into nothingness, turning back into Sword Qi that dissipated in the space of the stele.
Lu Xiaotian's Primordial Spirit came out of the Sword Comprehension Stele. At this time, his clothes were soaked in cold sweat. At the moment when the giant sword slashed at his Primordial Spirit, Lu Xiaotian thought that his main Primordial Spirit was about to be destroyed. However, the Sword Comprehension Stele was after all a strange object that allowed one to comprehend the Misty Sword Principle. It didn't really want to kill him.
After figuring this out, Lu Xiaotian put away the fear in his heart, closed his eyes again, and carefully experienced the terrifying sword that had nowhere to hide. Only those who were there would be able to experience the power of this sword. However, it was also because of this that one could better feel the essence of the sword intent.
When Lu Xiaotian opened his eyes again, the remnant body of the Nirvana Bone Sword Youlan had been completely absorbed into his body. Lu Xiaotian moved his Divine Sense and found that at this time, at the side of his Dantian, a small sword was floating in the air, and the speed at which it absorbed spiritual power was several times faster than before. Occasionally, it would reveal a trace of sharpness, and the pressure it showed was no less than the Suppressing Demon Pagoda.
Lu Xiaotian's heart carried a trace of joy, but at the same time, he also had some doubts. If the Misty Sword Formation was on the same level as the Seven Floor Pagoda, then the refining of the Seven Floor Pagoda was simply unbearable for a Jin Dan cultivator. If not for the fact that Lu Xiaotian himself was an alchemist and could multitask, if it were any other Gold Core cultivator who did not have the Earthly Moon Baleful Qi, it would take them more than two hundred years to refine it. The price was simply too high. Moreover, the consumption of Spirit Stones was also an astronomical figure. Of course, if not for the existence of the enchantment in Lu Xiaotian's body, he wouldn't even dare to think about this. After all, even a powerhouse like Monk Pagoda couldn't do it.
Logically speaking, even if the sword pill that formed the Misty Sword Formation was easier to refine, the process compared to the Suppressing Demon Pagoda was a bit too easy.
Lu Xiaotian held his chin. Could it be because of the enlightenment in the Sword Comprehension Stone Tablet, or because of the Sword Qi of the Misty Sword Embryo that invaded his body before, allowing him to comprehend the essence of the sword technique?
It seemed a bit too far-fetched. Lu Xiaotian shook his head. He couldn't figure it out, so he could only think about it in the future.
Coming back to his senses, the low-level puppet controlled by the Secondary Primordial Spirit offered a few pill bottles, which contained the Soul Anchoring Pills that had been refined during this period of time. In addition to giving Yu Dongbao some, Lu Xiaotian naturally left a lot for himself. In addition, with the strength of his Divine Sense, his dependence on the Soul Anchoring Pills was much smaller than Yu Dongbao and the others. However, it was better to be prepared than to leave more pills for himself.
More than a month's time had passed? Lu Xiaotian, who received the pills, was stunned. The Secondary Primordial Spirit had been controlling the puppet to refine pills, so it was naturally clear about the passage of time. Originally, he thought that it would only be a few hours, or even a few days. He didn't expect it to be more than five days.
