With the identity of an Intermediate Alchemist, it was indeed a lot more convenient to do things in Royal Pill City. After all, Xiao Yun had already stayed in Royal Pill City for a long time, so she was relatively familiar with everything in the city. He bought a map scroll from the city guards, which marked the uninhabited cave residences in the city.
Then, Xiao Yun directly brought Lu Xiaotian to the north side of Royal Pill City. The few of them flew on their swords, passing through a continuous stretch of green mountains covered in clouds and mist.
After a long while, they arrived at an independent mountain peak. On the mountain peak, there were more than ten red-crowned cranes of various sizes perched on top of the pine trees on the cliff. When they saw Lu Xiaotian and the others, they all flew up in shock. These spiritual birds had already been tamed and were raised in the territory of Royal Pill City. They would not attack passing cultivators.
In the entire Royal Pill City, in addition to the extremely rich spiritual energy, there was also a faint medicinal fragrance. Cultivators who smelled it would feel a little refreshed.
"Here it is." Lu Xiaotian stopped in front of the cave residence. There was a unique small courtyard in front of the cave residence. At the entrance of the cave residence, there were a few simple stone carvings of Clear Cloud Pavilion.
Lu Xiaotian injected his Divine Sense into the map, and the uninhabited cave residence changed its status.
"The two of you will live in this small courtyard. There are some things inside, help me collect them. The more, the better. If anyone asks, don't say anything. There are also some demonic beast materials, help me deal with them. Convert them into Spirit Stones or Spirit Items. Also, help me inquire about Jin Dan level puppets. "
Lu Xiaotian threw a few storage pouches to Xiao Heibao. There were a lot of Spirit Stones and a lot of demonic beast materials inside. They were all demonic beasts killed in the Ethereal Palace. The rest were dozens of Jin Dan level demonic pythons killed in the Extreme Island.
"Yes, Senior!" Xiao Heibao took the storage pouches and casually glanced inside with his Divine Sense. He suddenly trembled, and the storage pouches almost fell to the ground. On the other hand, Xiao Yun's reaction was more normal. Although she was shocked, she did not lose her composure.
"That's all for now. Other than working for me, you can make your own arrangements for the rest of your time. If there's anything you need, just use the Sound Transmission Talisman to contact me."
Lu Xiaotian wasn't worried that the Xiao siblings would leave the city on their own. The two of them had already registered as his followers in the Royal Pill City. Without his permission, the two of them wouldn't be able to leave the Royal Pill City.
After giving some instructions, Lu Xiaotian's figure flashed and disappeared into the cave residence. Xiao Heibao and his sister only saw a blur in front of their eyes before they lost sight of Lu Xiaotian.
"Brother, what's in the storage pouches in your hands?" Xiao Yun found it very strange. With her brother's composure, he was actually so surprised. It must be something extraordinary.
"Take a look for yourself." Xiao Heibao's hands were trembling. He forced himself to calm down, and only then did he feel better.
Ah! Xiao Yun covered her mouth, her face full of shock. Inside were all the corpses of Jin Dan level Demonic Beasts. They ranged from the seventh to the ninth level.
Even though they were already dead, the aura emitted by these Demonic Beasts still made the siblings, who were only in the Foundation Establishment stage, feel a sense of trepidation. In particular, a considerable portion of the Demonic Beasts didn't suffer much external injuries. Many of them were even killed with a single blow.
Although the siblings were only in the Foundation Establishment stage, in order to accumulate spiritual medicine and spirit stones for cultivation, they used to go out with their friends to hunt Demonic Beasts. Usually, if they didn't want to suffer heavy casualties when fighting Demonic Beasts of the same level, several people would have to work together and fight for a while before they could kill the Demonic Beasts.
Most of the Demonic Beasts that were hunted had already been badly damaged. For the sake of safety, adventurous cultivator teams would rarely choose Demonic Beasts whose level was higher than their own. After all, the risk was too great. If there were any casualties, the gains would not make up for the losses. Each time they went out to sea, each person would be able to get about one or a few Demonic Beasts' materials.
Thinking back to those days, the siblings naturally knew the hardships of hunting Demonic Beasts. However, in the storage pouches that Lu Xiaotian gave them, there were probably no less than a hundred Demonic Beasts in total.
It was hard to imagine how powerful this mysterious Jin Dan Senior was. Especially those dozens of Azure Pythons. They might have even wiped out an entire nest of Azure Pythons.
"It seems that this Senior's methods are truly heaven-defying. Even among the late stage Jin Dan Realm cultivators, he is a supreme existence. Big Brother, we must complete the task that Senior gave us well. With this Senior's strength and wealth, it is very likely that he will successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage and become a rumored Nascent Soul Ancestor. "Xiao Yun took a deep breath and tried to calm her mind.
"Of course I know that. To be able to work for such a powerful Jin Dan Realm cultivator is our opportunity. Let's sort out the things we have on hand and then split up. I will take care of these Demonic Beasts' materials. Little Sister, you are familiar with Royal Pill City. Go search for the Demonic Beasts' materials." Xiao Heibao nodded.
The siblings quickly got busy. Lu Xiaotian set up a few sets of restrictions at the entrance of the cave to prevent the aura from leaking out and to prevent other cultivators from using their divine senses to probe inside.
The Azure Cloud Cave Abode was quite large. There were many stone rooms inside, and some were used to raise Spirit Insects and Spirit Beasts. Lu Xiaotian thought for a moment and then released the Boundary Breaking Insect and Little Fire Crow. He threw a lot of Spirit Insect Pills and Spirit Beast Pills to each of them and let them busy themselves.
Lu Xiaotian took out the puppet scroll that he obtained from Xiao Heibao. Previously, he only gave it a cursory glance. Now that he had time, he naturally wanted to study it in detail.
"This terracotta puppet really opens up a new path. It has strange and wonderful ideas that seize the fortune of Heaven and Earth."
As he carefully studied the puppet array, Lu Xiaotian increasingly felt that the creator of this method could be called a peerless genius. As everyone knew, there was a limit to the number of puppets a person could control. There were only two ways to do so.
One way was to directly control the puppets with the Primordial Spirit. This way, the combat power would generally be higher. However, the strength of a cultivator's Primordial Spirit was limited. Lu Xiaotian, who had five Primordial Spirits, was not the only one. At least, Lu Xiaotian had never seen someone like that in several Immortal Cultivation Worlds.
The other way was to collect the Primordial Spirit Essence of demonic beasts and refine it with a secret technique. By erasing the demonic beast's self-consciousness, one would separate a part of one's own Divine Sense and integrate it into the puppet. Then, one would refine the puppet. This method could control a large number of puppets. However, relatively speaking, the combat power that could be exerted was limited. The higher the level of the puppet, the less effective this method was.
However, the Puppet Mother-Child Array introduced in the Puppet Scroll solved this problem very well. Many sub-arrays were refined and placed in the puppet's body. Then, one would refine a set of mother arrays and combine the sub-arrays with the mother array.
Through the mother array, the puppet master only needed to separate a part of his Divine Sense to control a large number of puppets. Although there was a limit to the number of puppets he could control, relatively speaking, it was countless times more brilliant than the current puppet control method in the Immortal Cultivation World.
