nce it came from the demon clan's formula, it took a different approach and differed greatly from the usual human alchemists' methods. Even though Lu Xia Tian was already a fourth-rank alchemist, if h...Especially when Lu Xiaitian swallowed that top-grade Chi Yan Rong Ti Dan, the immense spiritual energy fluctuation shocked even Xiang Qingcheng. To directly integrate such astonishing spiritual energy into one's body is not something ordinary Hehuan Realm cultivators could achieve. Even most mid-Hehuan Realm cultivators wouldn't dare to attempt it lightly.

Even the rolling heat waves that escaped were already terrifying enough. Let alone inside Lu Xiaoteng's body.

“To be frank, this lad isn't as simple as he appears. The spiritual energy of that pill is quite remarkable. Even I wouldn’t dare to swallow it directly.” Nan Xuanyu secretly sent a voice transmission to Sikong Jian Dao.

"A top-grade spirit pill, and this pill is not of low rank, it naturally cannot be easily taken into the body." Sikong Jian Dao frowned, after a long while he looked at Lu Xiaodao, "This pill of yours is also rare, I can't identify its origin. It is most likely used by body cultivators, what is the name of this pill, could you tell me its source"

As a fourth-rank Dan King, Si Kong Jian Dao had an extraordinary love for alchemy compared to most accomplished Dan Kings. Especially at Si Kong Jian Dao's level, it could be said that he was obsessed with alchemy. When encountering a very rare and unfamiliar elixir, Si Kong Jian Dao naturally wanted to figure out its origin as soon as possible.

As the Jade Purity Immortal Palace was vast, it naturally didn't lack cultivators. Sikong Jiandao didn't really care which cultivator improved their cultivation or broke through a realm. However, seeing the other party achieve something after taking his refined pills filled Sikong Jiandao with immense joy.

Discovering a brand new high-grade elixir and being able to refine it to exert its immense power is what a Pill King strives for.

“This elixir was found by me from someone else, and I don't know its origins.” Lu Xiaoteng shook his head. The Burning Rock Fusion Body Pill, just the name itself could tell you roughly what this elixir was about. An innocent person will be guilty if they possess something valuable. Once the name of the Burning Rock Fusion Body Pill is spread, it would already allow people to guess its origin. For the Burning Rock Clan, this situation would be tantamount to a disaster.”

Sikong Jian Dao wore a disappointed expression, but most cultivators didn't know the specific origins of the pill. Sikong Jian Dao didn't continue to ask. He just couldn't help but feel some regret for missing out on the spirit pill.

"The place we're going to has quite a few water hidden demons. Their water hidden spikes are hard to defend against. Since you, Daoist friend, are a skilled physical cultivator, you can't just hide behind me all the time." After his initial disappointment, Sikong Jian Dao continued.

"Good." Lu Xia Tian's agreement this time was surprisingly quick, which surprised both Si Kong Jian Dao and Nan Xuan Yu.

The Shuiyin Yao Dan is a type of monster similar to the Yao Hai Dan, but its whole body is emerald green. Once it hides in the blue waves, it becomes elusive and difficult for ordinary people to detect its exact location. Its attack methods are similar to those of the Yao Hai Dan, but the spines released by the Shuiyin Yao Dan are extremely special and have the ability to be invisible, making them truly elusive.

Of course, it's not completely invisible. Ordinary people would only have very little time to react when an attack gets close. They can only choose to endure it head-on. Ordinary cultivators are at a disadvantage against this kind of monster, and even if they manage to block it, the mana consumed is considerable.

Sikushen Dao letting Lu Xiaotian make a move wasn't really making things difficult for him.

Of course, if Lu Xiaotian makes some mistakes, Sikong Jian Dao would also be happy to see it happen. If he really can't hold back, then let him and Nan Xuanyu take action, consuming more of their mana wouldn't be a big problem for him as a fourth-rank alchemist.

This is a chance to see how much weight Lu Xiaitian has. Both Si Kong Jian Dao and Nan Xuan Yu want to take a look.

But reality disappointed both Sikong Jian Dao and Nan Xuan Yu. Along the way, they did indeed encounter many Shui Yin Yao Dan, those Shui Yin spikes could only be sensed by divine sense when they got quite close. Usually, even those with stronger strength would be quite embarrassed under the attack of these Shui Yin spikes.

Ever since entering the territory of Shui Yin Yao Dan, Lu Xia Tian had not shown any sign of panic on his face. Everything was calm and collected, appearing perfectly normal. Of course, Lu Xia Tian hadn't been shy about making his move. The fluctuations of his Blood Gang power were extremely pure, already close to the level of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. However, being close to achieving something and actually achieving it were two completely different things.

Lu Xia Tian's displayed blood energy was clearly still in the early stage of fusion, yet his composure was something even a mid-stage fusion being wouldn't possess. When those water hidden spikes neared, the faint ringing sound clearly indicated that there were quite a few. Yet they couldn't break through Lu Xia Tian's defenses at all.

“Could it be that these water hidden demons’ strength has become weaker than before Their attacks are not as powerful as they used to be”

>

Siku Jian Dao and Nan Xuan Yu had once come to Bi Shui Yao Chi with Xiang Qing Cheng. They were very familiar with the attack of Shui Yin Yao Dan. The two of them could handle it, and they wouldn't suffer any harm.

It's just that wanting to be like Lu Xia Tian, seamlessly entering a realm where no one exists, isn't so easy to achieve.

"You've been at it for quite a while now, why don't you take a break" Siku Jian Dao exchanged glances with Nan Xuan Yu, his heart filled with bewilderment. He wanted to step forward and try it himself.

“Good.” Lu Xia Tian agreed again with great enthusiasm, and directly got off from above.

It has to be said that Lu Xiaoteng performed exceptionally well just now when dealing with Shuiyin Yao's attack. That calmness and composure in the face of danger, the effortless way he handled it was impressive. Even though the other party wasn't as physically attractive, the charisma they displayed was captivating. But how could someone like Lu Xiaoteng, an outsider, be allowed to steal the spotlight so easily

Therefore, Si Kong Jian Dao directly asked Lu Xia Tian to step back. He then shot forward before Nan Xuan Yu.

“I alone am enough to deal with these water demons. A distinguished cultivator like Daoist Nanxuan should reserve some strength to face the threats that lie ahead.” Si Kong Jiandao saw Nan Xuan Yu also wanted to make a move, stood in front of everyone, facing away from them. His left hand was clasped behind his waist, and his right hand stretched over his shoulder, very gracefully stopping Nan Xuan Yu's intention to make a move.

Si Kongjian Dao this fellow was always quick to make a scene and grab the spotlight. Working with him was a bit embarrassing, Nan Xuanyu thought inwardly, though he wasn't happy about it, he didn't dare to intervene again.

Several water sprites shot out their hidden needles in quick succession. They came roughly in the shape of a Chinese character “品” (meaning "plum" or "inverted-gourd"), with an extremely short gap in the middle. Though they didn't arrive simultaneously, the time allowed for Si Kong Jian Dao to react was minuscule.

The kid's strength just now was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Although he was close to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, if you really looked into it, he hadn't quite reached it yet.

Even without using any other trump cards, there's no way that kid could handle it. I couldn't even block it myself.negatively affect his plans. Although he had already reached the late stage of the He-Ti realm for some time and was known as a Master, he knew Lu Xia Tian well. Back when they were both at Lanjing La...
