Volume 2: Wudang Island Chapter 8: Extremely Evil Spirit

  "Little brother wants to refine the Poison Beast Dan, and then take action against that Tianji in three days?" Yu Jie's soft voice sounded, asking uncertainly.

  Xiao Chen nodded upon hearing the words, not hiding anything from Yu Ji. In a deep voice, he said: "I have already formed an irreconcilable feud with Lie Yan Sect, and this time I must thoroughly destroy it in order to be at peace." As he spoke, Xiao Chen felt a few pangs of guilt in his heart. After all, if he were to return to the sect immediately, perhaps the war would dissipate into nothingness. However, thinking about how the Xiao family would from then on always be under mortal threat, he could only suppress this guilt deep within his heart.

  "Ah, this is indeed a one-shot solution." Yu Ji's voice was full of approval. People in the demonic path were originally straightforward and didn't care about others' lives or deaths. Xiao Chen's move was quite to her liking. "However, it's better not to refine the Poison Beast Dan. Firstly, its power is limited. With Tianji Zi's mid-stage peak cultivation, he might be able to hold on even if poisoned. Secondly, this thing has too wide a range. If we use it during battle and accidentally harm the Lu Yun Valley disciples, it won't look good."

  Xiao Chen nodded upon hearing this, a hint of helplessness on his face. He was also very clear about the matter in his heart, but unfortunately, all his trump cards had been played out, and at this moment, there was nothing else that could threaten Tianji Zi except for the poisonous beast pill. However, he sensed a faint tone of complacency in Yu Jie's voice, and his heart stirred. He said sincerely: "I don't know what method you have, please enlighten me."

  "Hehe, little brother is indeed clever, I just opened my mouth and you were able to guess it." Yu Ji lightly laughed and said: "If you hadn't obtained this Blood Jade Dragon Tooth Rice today, I wouldn't have had any other way, but now... Hehe, if luck is on our side, then Tianji Zi will probably be dead without a doubt in three days."

  Xiao Chen was overjoyed when he heard this.

  After a moment, Yuji transmitted a piece of refined secret method, "Brother, go and refine it, until the end I will help you, it is certain to succeed." As soon as the voice faded away, Yuji must have gone to refine the Blood Jade Dragon Tooth Rice to recover her injured origin.

  Xiao Chen nodded upon hearing the words, and after carefully pondering the several thousand words of secret methods for numerous times to confirm that there were no omissions, a few hints of excitement appeared on his face. He then flipped his hand and took out a grain of Blood Jade Dragon Tooth Millet, tossing it into the air, and a series of incantations flew quickly into it.

  Three days later, a chill and evil aura suddenly emanated from within the mountain cave, accompanied by a woman's faint cry, before returning to calmness.

  "This extremely evil spirit has finally been refined, but this time the yuan god's consumption is great, I need to take a good rest for a while to recover, and during this period, I'm afraid I won't be able to provide you with help." Yu Ji's voice was still soft and sweet, but couldn't hide the weakness and fatigue.

  Xiao Chen felt a twinge of guilt in his heart, and hastily said: "Sister, take good care of yourself. Every ten days, I will send you a grain of Blood Jade Dragon Tooth Rice to aid in your recovery."

  "Alright, little brother, be careful with everything for now. I hope that by the time we meet again next time, you'll have successfully built your foundation." The voice grew fainter and fainter until it completely dissipated within his divine sense.

  Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of gratitude, carefully putting away the extremely evil spirit. He turned his hand over and took out several pellets of medicine to swallow, sitting cross-legged to recover the spiritual energy within his body.

  An hour later, a green light suddenly flashed across the sky above the mountain forest, and in the twinkling of an eye, it rushed straight north.

  ————————————————————————————————————————————————

  "Hiss! May I ask, fellow Taoist, what exactly happened today? Why is it so lively here?" A middle-aged man who had just come out of his closed cultivation was startled by the flames and hurriedly stopped a bald old man to ask.

  The old man who was stopped raised an eyebrow, just about to get angry, but his divine sense swept across the big Han and found that their cultivation was similar, both in the early stages of building foundation, and the words that came to his mouth were swallowed back.

  "This matter has long been spread in Beihua State, how could fellow Taoist not know? Is it that you are trying to amuse me?" The bald old man's tone was slightly slower, but his face was still gloomy and his tone was quite cold.

  "Haha, you've thought too much." The big man chuckled and scratched his head, explaining: "I was in closed-door meditation to break through my boundary until last month. I just came out today and really don't know what's been going on outside. Please enlighten me, fellow Taoist."

  The old man's eyes swept towards the big Han, and indeed found that his internal force fluctuations were slightly unstable, which was a manifestation of breaking through the boundary not long ago. His expression on his face finally eased up, and he smiled: "So that's it, since fellow daoist doesn't know, why don't you come with me to hurry along the road, I'll explain it to you in detail so as not to miss the excitement later."

  "Good!" The big Han also didn't drag on and directly nodded in agreement.

  The two of them immediately set up a smokescreen and rushed forward.

  Outside the gate of Lieyan Zong, on those ancient trees, at this moment, most of them were crowded with cultivators. Except for a few scattered cultivators who closed their eyes to cultivate, other cultivators mostly gathered in groups of three or five, whispering to each other, with excitement or worry in their eyes.

  "We've arrived, Iron Mountain Daoist friend. This is the entrance to the Blazing Flame Sect's mountain gate. It seems we haven't come too late and won't miss the excitement." The speaker was none other than the bald old man, who had become quite friendly with the middle-aged big man along the way, and their forms of address had also become more affectionate.

  The bald man's eyes flashed with a few points of surprise, and he shouted: "There are actually so many fellow Taoists here, it seems that this lively event is really big!"

  The bald old man felt a few points of disdain in his heart, and he found that this person's cultivation was equal to his, but his vision was extremely limited, and he was simply a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. At this moment, seeing him loudly calling out, many dissatisfied eyes from the surrounding cultivators, especially two foundation-building middle-stage cultivators, even coldly snorted with malicious intent in their gaze. The bald old man secretly cursed his bad luck, and hastily retreated backward, creating some distance between them, fearing being implicated by him.

  The big man seemed to be completely unbothered, standing on a branch, shouting loudly to himself. Although the surrounding cultivators were dissatisfied in their hearts, no one was willing to confront this strange cultivator at this moment, especially since he appeared to be somewhat dim-witted. People like him could be quite troublesome if provoked. So, just like the bald old man, everyone retreated a bit and closed their eyes, ignoring him.

  "Look! Look! The people from Luoyun Valley have arrived. Those two in front wearing purple robes are Qingyunzi and Yaodaozi."

  "Hiss, hiss! This time, Lu Yun Valley is really going all out. Not only have the two Golden Dan old ancestors inside the gate come out together, but they've also brought along thirty Foundation Establishment stage elder guardians and three hundred True Transmission disciples in one go. It's a full-scale mobilization!"

  "Both sides are evenly matched, and it seems that the situation is not optimistic. Even if one side wins, it will surely end in a miserable victory."

  "It's true that this time Li Yan Zong was unfair, the Golden Elixir cultivators under their sect took action and captured a disciple of Luo Yun Valley, no wonder they retaliated by attacking our door."

  "Tsk, tsk, that captured disciple is quite something. Half a month ago at the Medicine Daozi's Condensing Dan Grand Ceremony, this person suddenly appeared and made a big splash, showing off his extraordinary talent. In just one short year, he not only became a top-grade alchemist of the third rank but also had cultivation comparable to that of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. He can be considered one of the most talented disciples in the history of Luoyun Valley! It's no wonder that Qingyunzi is willing to fight to the death to get him back."
