Chapter 2576: Gathering Shadows Magic Cauldron

out how to escape this ghostly place.”A heavy stench of death filled the air. From within a thicket of dense, waist-high grass in the distance, a gaunt figure darted out. Lu Xiaotian wasn't concerned...Back in the Chiyue Desert, low-level Yèshí people knelt down. At this time, the strongest among the Yèshí people left behind in the Chiyue Desert was only at the early stage of Shenxu Realm. Hong Yue herself wasn't outstanding in terms of strength, and as a third-grade alchemist, she didn't follow Zhu Qi and Ba Li's expedition team.

As for Lady Lv, over so many years, she has risen to the level of a second-rank Dan King. There are some wild boar demons scattered around the Red Moon Desert. Over these years, the Yèshí tribe has planted quite a few spiritual plants in the Red Moon Desert. Although they aren't very valuable, some places have already become lush with greenery, looking much more pleasing to the eye than the barren desert it once was.

Lu Xia Tian allowed those people of the Ye Shi tribe to go about their business, then entered his own cave dwelling.

“In the midst of this chaotic and turbulent Demonic Abyss, have you heard of a tribe called the Mochubian Vine Clan” Once inside the cave dwelling, Lu Xia Tian turned to Yun Xiaoqi and Hong Yue.

“The Mag-Hibiscus Clan Someone came inquiring about them before, almost causing a fight with the Demon race.” Hongyue thought for a moment.

"Where are they now" Lu Xiaodao said.

>“In the vicinity of Qingteng Ridge, it is said that several years ago, a battle took place with the Poisonous Vine Ancestor of Qingteng Ridge, resulting in considerable losses.”

Lu Xia Tian nodded, indicating that he understood. News of his return to the Chiyue Desert would spread soon. As long as Hu Chun Man was still around, or if Du Feng Hu and the others were in danger, they would definitely find a way to reach him. He didn't need to worry too much for now.

"If Zhu Xia Shan wants to refine some spiritual pills, just bring the spiritual materials here."

“Mm.” Yun Xiaosei nodded, not being polite to Lu Xiaotian anymore. Zhu Xiashan’s vital energy was heavily damaged, these were indeed necessary. Yun Xiaosei directly handed the large amount of spiritual objects accumulated by Zhu Xiashan to Lu Xiaotian. After this major incident at Zhu Xiashan, coupled with its change in appearance, Yun Xiaosei had shed her former coquettishness and matured significantly in just one day.

Back in his own cave dwelling, Lu Xia Tian let out a sigh of relief. Before shaking off Ye Qianxin's pursuit, he traveled everywhere, trying to leave as little trace for her as possible. In every place he passed through, he deliberately avoided refining spirit pills. Only in a very small number of situations where he had to take action was this time span negligible compared to the length of his journey.

It had been quite some years since Lu Xia Tian formally ascended the furnace to refine pills. Though his direct refining attempts over these years were few, Lu Xia Tian's research into the Dao of Alchemy never ceased. The alchemy manual left by Lord Li Dan contained a vast array of formulas. Even just deducing the pharmacological changes within them was a delight in itself.

Over the years, even though Lu Xiaotian hadn't had many opportunities to actually practice alchemy, his understanding of the Dao of Alchemy had deepened through these years. His experience, including breaking through to become a Fourth-Rank Alchemist and even refining the Soul-Forging Transformation Pill, had all contributed to a profound accumulation in his alchemical realm.

Unless it was a particularly special elixir, Lu Xia Tian didn't need to make a personal appearance. He could simply control a puppet with his secondary soul essence.

Lu Xia Tian only chose a portion of the spirit pills to familiarize himself with the alchemy process. After regaining his feel, Lu Xia Tian gave most of the spirit materials to Hong Yue for refining.

During this relatively short period, Hong Yue rose to the rank of a third-grade Dan King. For any faction, Hong Yue would be a highly sought-after target.

After looking over the process of Red Moon Alchemy, Lu Xia Tian wore a thoughtful expression.

“Sir, but I feel like there are things I haven't done well” Hong Yue looked at Lu Xia Tian uneasily. She wasn't afraid of being scolded, she just didn't want to see the disappointment on Lu Xia Tian's face.

"You're doing very well, your talent in alchemy surpasses mine. What holds you back now is the spiritual fire. The level of your control over Feng Qingbi Flame isn't high enough. If you only control this kind of spiritual fire, your future achievements in alchemy will likely stagnate." Lu Xiaoteng spoke frankly.

"I dare not compare myself to the esteemed gentleman." Hong Yue shook her head repeatedly.

"Alright, I'll leave the remaining spirit materials with you. Refine them well. I'll take care of the spirit fire later."

Lu Xia Tian didn't say much about this. He knew his own family best, and Hong Yue's accomplishments in alchemy could reach the level of a third-rank Dan King due to her own efforts.

On the other hand, when he was less accomplished, he lacked the resources to refine elixirs. Lu Xia Tian relied on the abundant spiritual materials cultivated within the Qingguo Barrier. While relying solely on this method to improve his alchemy skills wasn't realistic, Lu Xia Tian achieved a significant improvement through the principle of quantitative change leading to qualitative change.

Hong Yue nodded, taking the various spiritual materials Lu Xia Tian had given her. She began to refine the spirit pills day and night.

Lu Xia Tian then began to count the contents of Jia Xiao Lin's Sumeru ring. Adding up all the spirit crystals came to nearly 11 million, this influx of spirit crystals greatly eased Lu Xia Tian's worries. He had already spent all the spirit crystals he had on hand. Even if he wanted to earn so many spirit crystals by refining pills, it would take a certain amount of time.

Of course, the time it takes is not fixed. It depends on what kind of pill is being refined. For example, refining a Hehun Dan, Lu Xiaoteng's success rate was quite good. If he didn't lose even one pill, it would be worth millions of low-grade spirit crystals.

However, it might take dozens of years to refine even one batch of such high-grade elixirs. At Lu Xia Tian's current level, relying solely on refining these high-level elixirs might not fully meet his cultivation needs. As for lower-grade elixirs, although their value is relatively lower, they are produced in larger quantities. Lu Xia Tian has a higher success rate in refining lower-grade elixirs, and with his astonishing success rate, the yield is still significant.

It's just that Zhuxia Mountain suffered such a great change. Lu Xia Tian didn't want to take back the elixir from Zhuxia Mountain. Hong Yue was already a third-rank alchemist, and her alchemy success rate was not bad either. So Lu Xia Tian simply handed it over to her completely.

Apart from over ten million low-grade spirit crystals and a nearly depleted dragon-patterned dark crystal, there weren't many high-value spiritual plants. It seems that Jia Xiaolin paid a hefty price to advance to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Lu Xiaoteng himself had only one piece left after his own breakthrough, plus Jia Linlin's piece, which was not enough for a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator to advance.

“Magic Gourd of the Cinema!” While counting Jia Xiaolin’s possessions, Lu Xia Tian discovered another magic artifact from the demonic path.

This gathering magic gourd indeed has its unique uses, but it's useless to Lu Xia Tian. Lu Xia Tian simply put it aside.

"The Gathering Shadow Gourd is now mine. I will collect enough Shade-Forming Sand and then we can make the exchange."

In addition to this Gathering Shadows Magic Gourd, Lu Xia Tian also discovered a sound transmission talisman that had not been sent out.

“To be able to converse with me in such an equal manner, one must at least be a strong individual of the same caliber as Jia Xiaolin.” Lu Xiaotian stroked his chin and took out the Gathering Shadow Magic Gourd to examine it. He didn’t notice anything unusual, but suddenly Lu Xiaotian’s face darkened, and his figure flashed like lightning from within the cave dwelling.
