With Lu Xiaotian's current strength, the puppet was no longer of much help to him. However, after experiencing so many dangers, Lu Xiaotian knew that no matter how strong he was, there would still be a time when he would be in trouble. Last time, because of the backlash from the Yin Devouring Ghost Wheel, Lu Xiaotian's strength plummeted. After that, he had encountered danger several times and almost died.
When he was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, in order to save Dongfang Yi, he fought a great battle with Sha Ba, causing his strength to fall to rock bottom. If it weren't for the puppet, he probably wouldn't have survived until now.
"In addition to these trapping formations and defensive formations, we should be prepared for any eventuality."
Lu Xiaotian categorized these spiritual items one by one. Killing arrays like the Thousand Moons Snow Array were extremely difficult to find. Lu Xiaotian had only collected a few trapping and defensive arrays in Royal Pill City in the past few decades.
Also, he had a lot of things on hand. In addition, he also had to use his primordial spirit to condense the Profound Nascent Soul Sealing Array in his body. Lu Xiaotian really didn't have the extra energy to refine other arrays.
Lu Xiaotian sighed. Compared to other cultivators, his luck was already considered good.
His figure moved and he left the cave.
A few days later, on a small island outside Royal Pill City, dark clouds covered the sky and tribulation lightning fell like rain. The man was struck by the tribulation lightning. His face was as black as charcoal, but his face was full of excitement. The magic tools on his body struck the tribulation lightning one by one, and he swallowed pills to recover the magic power in his body.
On an open space not far from the center of the tribulation, a black-faced youth stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking indifferently at the man undergoing tribulation. Beside the black-faced youth, there was a girl from a small family standing respectfully beside the youth. At the same time, her eyes were nervously looking at the man under the tribulation lightning from time to time.
Occasionally, a few adventurer cultivators would come to peek. Most of the people who chose to undergo tribulation on the island had many protectors. It was rare to see a man and a woman like this.
However, when the few Jin Dan adventurer cultivators saw the black-faced youth, they immediately turned and fled. The speed at which they left was actually much faster than when they came.
Only the weaker Foundation Establishment cultivators stayed further away. They were waiting for the person who was going through the tribulation to advance to the next level so that they could come over and get some benefits. After all, this kind of opportunity to reap without sowing was rare. If they encountered those generous Jin Dan cultivators, they would be even more lucky.
The pretty girl looked at the black-faced young man beside her with admiration. There were several waves of adventurers that had retreated without a fight. There was naturally a reason why they were like birds that were startled by the twang of a bow. After the black-faced youth's astonishing battle record in the Immortals' War Pagoda and defeating Old Monster Ying Yan, the black-faced youth's reputation spread like wildfire. Later on, he attracted the attention of the peak late-stage Jin Dan cultivators of Royal Pill City.
The Royal Pill City had been famous for many years. The seventeenth, thirteenth, sixth, and second ranked cultivators who were ranked in the top twenty had all been defeated by this person without exception. Every battle lasted no more than half an incense stick's worth of time. After being defeated, the top Golden Core cultivators did not say a word and left with injuries. Although they did not reveal any details, the cultivators outside the Immortals' War Pagoda were not blind and could naturally judge the outcome.
The black-faced youth beside her had already become an undefeated legend among the Jin Dan cultivators of Royal Pill City. Although he looked slightly thin, his upright posture was like a giant wall to the girl from a small family. Even if the sky collapsed, it would not be able to crush his seemingly thin shoulders.
The black-faced youth and the girl from a small family were naturally Lu Xiaotian and Xiao Yun. As early as thirty years ago, Xiao Yun had successfully passed the tribulation and become a Jin Dan cultivator.
The person undergoing the Jin Dan Lightning Tribulation was Xiao Heibao. Xiao Heibao's aptitude was much worse than Xiao Yun's, but after working for Lu Xiaotian all these years and accumulating a large number of pills, his cultivation had also improved. After obtaining the Jin Dan Condensation from Lu Xiaotian, he came here to undergo the tribulation.
After a while, the tribulation clouds in the sky dispersed. Xiao Heibao looked battered and exhausted, but in reality, the injuries he suffered were limited. With a large number of Essence Recovery Pills and defensive magic tools, the Lightning Tribulation he encountered was several levels worse than Lu Xiaotian's. At this moment, Xiao Heibao only looked a little battered on the surface.
Xiao Heibao put on a new set of clothes and directly flew towards Lu Xiaotian without bothering to sit down. "Thank you, Young Master, for giving me a new lease of life. If not for Young Master's opportunity, I'm afraid Heibao would have no hope of forming a Gold Core."
Xiao Heibao lowered his head and was about to kowtow, but when his legs bent halfway, he couldn't continue kowtowing. He felt a soft wind supporting his body. Xiao Heibao was shocked. What kind of technique was this? Although the other party was already in the late Jin Dan stage and his techniques were divine, this kind of technique that could completely suppress him without batting an eyelid was a little too shocking.
"There's no need for such a big ceremony. You've been with me for many years, so giving you a good fortune is nothing. From now on, I'll be spending less time in Royal Pill City. Your missions in Royal Pill City will continue as usual," Lu Xiaotian said.
"What? Young Master, you're leaving?" Xiao Yun was shocked. In the past, Lu Xiaotian would often leave Royal Pill City. The longest period was half a year, and the shortest period was a few months. However, he didn't speak in such a tone like he did now. This time, it was unknown how long it would be before he returned.
"Young Master, when are you planning to return?"
"I said I'm not going to prepare. Decades, decades, decades, there's no fixed number." Lu Xiaotian shook his head. He didn't have a definite answer in his heart. Back then, he stayed in Royal Pill City because it was easier to collect the spiritual materials needed to refine the Nascent Soul Pill. In addition, the Immortals War Pagoda had a great effect on tempering his physical body. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to successfully reach the Ninth Level in just forty years.
However, there were still many materials stored in the barrier for refining the Nascent Soul Pill. His physical body had also successfully advanced, so there was no need to stay in Royal Pill City for long.
In the past forty years, Lu Xiaotian had been trying to refine the Nascent Soul Pill, but he had failed time and time again. He had been hunting demonic beasts for a long time, engaging in high-intensity battles, and going into seclusion for a long time. It wasn't suitable for refining pills.
Whether it was refining pills or increasing one's cultivation, besides one's own strength, one's state of mind was also very important. After failing time and time again, Lu Xiaotian also thought about some of the key points. He planned to walk around and relax his originally tense nerves. Tension and relaxation, the Dao of civil and martial arts, the truth of ancient and modern times.
"In Royal Pill City, although the Nascent Soul Pill auctioned is extremely rare and always sold for a sky-high price, there's still a chance. Young Master is a genius, and your strength is unparalleled in the Jin Dan realm. As long as you can obtain the Nascent Soul Pill, your Nascent Soul Dao will be just around the corner. Why give up what's near and seek what's far away? "
