Volume 1: Xiao City, Xiao Family, Xiao Chen Chapter 99: Refining the Poison Beast Dan

  In the mountain valley, within the medicinal garden on the mountain's abdomen, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged. Previously, he had refused Medicine Daozi's intention to exchange for a superior medicinal garden, which was to escape from those two wildly excited old men, and his heart still secretly felt lingering fear. The Golden Elixir Cultivator who was excessively excited, unexpectedly turned out to be this crazy.

  "Sister, what's going on? I'm clearly not a Yin Spirit Root cultivator, so why would the Sect Master and our Master treat me like this?" Xiao Chen's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but ask aloud with his divine sense.

  "Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter, it's really too funny. Suddenly, Yu Ji left Xiao Chen's body and laughed so hard that she was bent over, her charming appearance not only made Xiao Chen stare, but also blush slightly. "These two old guys have no idea what they're doing, the testing method I used can indeed detect the spiritual root talent in a cultivator's body, but you don't have any spiritual roots to begin with, even if you input more spiritual power, that broken bead won't change at all. I didn't expect these two old guys to think this is proof that you're a hidden spiritual root cultivator, hahaha, this is really the funniest thing I've ever seen."

  Xiao Chen: ...

  He let out a wry smile, never expecting it to be because of this. Xiao Chen shook his head, but ultimately put down some of the worries in his heart. After all, previously he had to carefully hide his cultivation, from now on he could openly walk out under the name of a Hidden Spirit Root cultivator, and not fear arousing suspicion.

  Before, Qingyunzi and Yaodaozi had determined that Xiao Chen was a hidden spirit root cultivator, but they didn't doubt that he could reach the level of refining pills at the third grade in just one year. After all, in their opinion, hidden spirit root cultivators were legendary existences, and it was understandable that such people would have some extraordinary abilities. This saved Xiao Chen from having to come up with a lot of nonsense explanations. As for Xiao Chen's inability to establish his foundation, the two men thought hard about it for a long time, then dragged Xiao Chen through a series of tests, but they didn't come to any conclusions. Although Xiao Chen was disappointed in his heart, he hadn't held out much hope to begin with, so he was relatively calm. But those two old men were gloomy and gritted their teeth. After all, in their opinion, Xiao Chen was the future hope of Luoyun Valley. Could they just sit back and watch as a hidden spirit root disciple who appeared once in ten thousand years had his cultivation stuck at the refining qi stage?! This absolutely could not be allowed to happen!

  Xiao Chen fled while still hearing the two old men gnashing their teeth and flipping through books behind him, with bright red eyes, as if they would not rest until they found a way to make Xiao Chen lay the foundation.

  Xiao Chen thought of this, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. This was also good, using the power of the sect to find the foundation-building method was much better than him being alone and in disarray.

  "In just ten more days, it will be time to return home and visit my family again. It's been a year since I've seen them, I wonder if my parents are doing well?" A hint of wistful nostalgia flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes, but after a moment, he let out a soft sigh and stepped onto the path of cultivation, destined not to linger by their knees for long. Xiao Chen was not a foolish person, as long as his parents could live a good life, it was because he was a cultivator of Luoyun Valley, and the higher his cultivation, the better the two elderly people would live."

  "My father's legs are not good, and on rainy days they often ache incessantly. My mother is getting older, and white hairs have grown on her head. However, I am no longer that insignificant little disciple with no status. This time when I return, I will definitely help my parents take care of their bodies and let the elderly live a longer and healthier life."

  Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of expectation, and after calming down, he reached into his storage bag and pulled out a jade bottle the size of a palm. The bottle had several seal talismans stuck to it. Xiao Chen's face showed a few hints of caution as he waved his hand and cast a spell, removing the talismans. Suddenly, a stream of black air slowly emanated from the mouth of the bottle.

  Xiao Chen's heart was slightly chilled, this mixture of the hundred beasts' poison was extremely toxic, even if it hadn't been refined into the Hundred Poisons Pill, accidentally touching it would likely require a great deal of effort to counteract, and if he didn't have Yu Jie's method for refining the Hundred Poisons Pill, he probably wouldn't dare directly remove the seal on the talisman.

  "Refine!"

  Xiao Chen let out a low growl, stretched out his hand and pointed. The black air instantly condensed, then frantically rolled around, but did not disperse. It seemed as if an invisible force had tightly bound it within that space.

  Xiao Chen's face was stern, and with a flick of his wrist, he threw the jade bottle upwards. A stream of sword energy shot out from his hand, shattering the bottle into pieces. A ball of infant-sized hundred-beast poison liquid appeared before him. The layers of black air were emanating from this poisonous liquid. Xiao Chen dared not be careless and mentally reviewed the refining method to ensure there was no omission. With both hands moving swiftly, he infused the spiritual power incantation into the liquid.

  The hundred beasts' venom was like boiling water, violently churning and rolling around. Endless black air wildly dispersed from within, forming a cloud-like mass about the size of a zhang above Xiao Chen's head.

  As the law seal was pressed in, it could be seen that the accumulated poison of the hundred beasts gradually decreased, until finally all turned into a ball of black gas. The black gas rolled and gradually separated, turning into balls of varying sizes, but each small piece was connected by a thread of black silk.

  "Poisonous Beast Coagulation!" Xiao Chen shouted again, his hands weaving the spell at a speed that suddenly increased by several folds.

  At this moment, on the edge over there, a cluster of black air, only a few inches in size, suddenly and violently churned up. In just an instant, it condensed into a strange bird with a body full of colorful stripes. A pair of bright, oily eyes seemed to be quite intelligent, but were full of sinister and cunning colors. As soon as it appeared, it let out a strange cry and flapped its wings, wanting to fly. But it seemed to have been prohibited by some kind of power, and no matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't escape.

  As the first strange year took shape, those clusters of black air began to churn one after another, with beasts roaring and birds crying out, an aura of savagery bursting forth. In just a short moment, dozens more poisonous beasts condensed into physical form.

  At this moment, Xiao Chen's face was slightly pale. Refining the Hundred Poisons Pill was indeed not easy. If it weren't for his spiritual awareness being comparable to that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he probably wouldn't have been able to firmly bind these many condensed poison beasts. He turned his hand over and took out several pills from his storage bag, swallowing them down. Only then did his complexion look slightly better.

  "In the end, it's all up to everyone now, but please don't let anything unexpected happen." Xiao Chen muttered to himself, took a deep breath, and suddenly changed his spell. Although the speed was slightly slower, the amount of magic power and mental energy consumed by each move had increased several times compared to before.

  After this move was made, it turned into a few dozen small black runes, with a faint light flashing on the runes, making them look extraordinary. And as these runes were input, the three huge black airs that had not changed from beginning to end began to roll and struggle violently, with low roars constantly coming out of them.
