Chapter 385: Soul Battle Origin Bead, Devouring Souls Great

fter bidding farewell to the bald old man, he returned home and spent the next ten days diligently refining pills like the Yuanyuan Dan and Yuhun Dan. The remaining time was dedicated to studying the..."Fire Attribute Condensation Golden Fruit"

Among the numerous spiritual objects, this fire-elemental seven-aperture linglong fruit immediately caught Lu XiaTian's entire attention besides some invaluable spirit herbs.

“To obtain this golden fruit is a worthwhile loss.” Lu Xiaoteng’s eyes were filled with joy. With the fire-type golden fruit in hand, he had now collected four types of golden fruits, lacking only the last earth-type one.

Compared to those people's wealth, what surprised Lu Xiao the most was this burly man who had seriously injured him. He was the richest among them all. Some of his treasures were difficult even to encounter at an auction house. Especially the number of spirit stones was astonishing, and he also had dozens of magic weapons, many of which possessed a powerful aura. However, falling into Shaba's hands was considered deserved.

Besides, there were quite a few identity tokens of cultivators from the Wangyue Realm. Apparently they were obtained from slain foundation-building cultivators of the Wangyue Realm. This group had over thirty pieces in total. That meant at least over thirty foundation-building cultivators of the Wangyue Realm had been killed. However, there were also over ten pieces belonging to cultivators from the Tianqiong and Nanhua cultivation realms. Lu Xia Tian couldn't help but be stunned. These people were really ruthless. They didn't hesitate to kill cultivators from both the Wangyue Realm and their own camp. However, recalling how ruthless these people had been during their battles before, such actions weren't surprising.

Besides, there are several auxiliary spirit herbs for refining the Jindan elixir, two of which are exactly what Lu Xia Tian lacks.

The storage bag of the Sand King also had mostly middle and high-grade spirit stones, but Lu Xiaoteng didn't lack spirit stones for the time being. Soon, Lu Xiaoteng's eyes fell on the Sand King's cultivation secret manual.

Spirit Beast Fusion Art

A copy of "The Soul Swallowing Technique"

Lu Xia Tian opened the Demonic Beast Fusion Secret Art and casually glanced at a few pages. He discovered that it described how to fuse with one's own spirit beast, requiring an excessively long time to cultivate. Lu Xia Tian pondered that if he were to fuse with Di Kun, his strength would likely reach unimaginable heights. However, as soon as this thought arose, Lu Xia Tian dismissed it. Firstly, the 《Spiritual Beast Fusion Secret Art》 had demanding requirements. Secondly, Lu Xia Tian felt a slight aversion to the eerie aura that one would possess after fusing with their spirit beast.

After closing the Spiritual Beast Fusion Technique, Lu Xiaoteng opened The Great Devouring Soul Method.

After a while, Lu Xiaoteng's eyes lit up. He had personally experienced the terrifying power of the formidable warrior and the azure centipede soul after their fusion. To be able to make a Qi Refining cultivator so unbelievably powerful in such a short time.

According to the "Devouring Souls Method," what is combined is only the essence of demonic beasts. It can greatly increase one's combat power in a very short time. After the essence of the demonic beast disappears, the impact on the body will also disappear, and it will not have any effect on the caster. However, using the Soul Battle Orb to repeatedly refine the essence of the demonic beast, this essence will possess the breath of the caster himself. In essence, it is simply refining the essence of the demonic beast into a magic weapon that is somewhat powerful.

Seeing the Soul War Pearl mentioned in The Art of Devouring Souls, Lu Xia Tian took out the black and green crystal bead that had imprisoned the soul of the azure centipede. He thought to himself, "Luckily I had hastily collected everything when I left. Otherwise, if this thing was lost, where would I find such a treasure again"

Lu Xiaitian secretly felt that the burly man from before probably had some incredible experiences, to be able to obtain such a terrifying battle tactic secret art. And that seventh-rank azure centipede spirit soul wasn't something a Qi refining cultivator could obtain. I wonder where that burly man went, to which powerful cultivator's ruins he obtained these treasures.

Lu Xiaoteng's face showed a hint of smile. This "Swallowing Souls Great Law" was quite suitable for him, to say it was a coincidence. When he was at Di Yan Mountain, he and Dongfang Yi joined forces to kill that seventh-rank fire python. Lu Xiaoteng finally used the Seven Star Array to greatly reduce the fire python's strength before cutting it down with his sword, obtaining a seventh-rank fire python spirit essence which was still sealed in a jade bottle. Besides this, there were also several fifth and sixth-rank fire pythons. Obtaining the seventh-rank fire python spirit essence was entirely an accident. He didn't expect to get a second one in the future. In fact, encountering any Jiao type monster beast, even for a Jindan cultivator, was purely based on luck.

Of course, using the secret arts from the "Devouring Souls Technique" to refine a seventh-rank Fire Jiao is still a bit premature. He must first become familiar with this technique before refining it, and wanting to completely refine the essence of a seventh-rank Fire Jiao is not a short task. A smooth ten years would be considered good, but an unsuccessful attempt could take twenty or even thirty years. It depends on the cultivator's cultivation base who practices the "Devouring Souls Technique" and the strength of the refined monster's essence. The seventh-rank Fire Jiao essence in Lu Xia Tian's hand is much stronger than ordinary seventh-rank monsters. To successfully refine it, it will likely take longer than refining a normal seventh-rank monster.

Although tens or dozens of years may seem like a long time, for cultivators it is not a particularly significant obstacle. After all, the cultivation cycle of his mysterious splitting technique takes at least several decades to complete before he can split his primordial spirit again.

After carefully studying the "Soul Devouring Technique" and shifting his attention away from its secrets, he realized several days had passed.

Lu Xia tian put the manual of martial arts away and started to refine pills again. He had lost count of how many times he had refined the Hui Tian Dan. The success rate was already very high.

After a month of continuous refining, he had stored quite a few Huitian Pills. Although they were not as many as before, they were enough for his needs for a while. He had already stocked up on pills for cultivation, so he didn't need to rush for the time being. His strength had also fully recovered. He re-refined the two Dan Yuan Fire Lei Heavy Arrows.Although he lost one Dan Yuan Huo Jiao Arrow and replaced it with Dan Yuan Huo Lei Heavy Arrows, the power was slightly reduced. However, when fired from the Huo Jiao Bow, the killing power was still very formidable, and ordinary cultivators in the later stage of foundation building couldn't withstand it at all. Besides, he only lost one Dan Yuan Huo Jiao Arrow, and he still had two left.

After leaving the stone chamber, he looked at Dongfang Yi. Dongfang Yi's complexion was slightly better than before, indicating that her internal injuries were recovering. This relieved him for now, as she should awaken automatically after some time. Lu Xiao considered leaving a letter or sound transmission talisman, but after thinking it over, he chuckled bitterly and decided against it. Regardless, the gap in cultivation between them was undeniable. Even if he had intentions, he wasn't sure what she thought.

Although the other party was a Jindan cultivator, Lu Xia Tian also had his own pride and didn't care how the other party treated him because he saved her. A firm look flashed in Lu Xia Tian's eyes, and then he left this hiding place. He originally wanted to stay and wait for Dongfang Yi to wake up, but Di Kun was seriously injured because of saving him and hadn't woken up yet. His breath was very weak. Lu Xia Tian didn't want anything to happen to Di Kun. And with Dongfang Yi's current state, he couldn't help much. He placed her in this hidden place, sealed the exit, and whether it was other cultivators or monsters, it was originally difficult to enter here. As for finding this secret place, it was even more difficult. After slightly settling down, Lu Xia Tian left the cave and headed straight for Yin Feng Valley.vation, I've been looking for someone to spar with but haven't found a suitable opponent. I hope Zhen Shuo can withstand a few of my axes!" Cheng Santong laughed heartily, his figure soaring into the...
