unable to escape. Trapped in this tiny space, there was nowhere to move, and he couldn't avoid the pagoda's attack range.The Revenant Gu once again extended its two blue arms, propping itself up at t...Back at the cave dwelling, Lu Xia Tian looked at the deep sky. A figure broke through the air from the heavens. It was the ancestor Chi Jie.
"When will the pills I entrusted you to refine be ready" Chi Jianzuo squinted at Lu Xia Tian. Ever since he handed over the spirit material for the broken realm pill, he had been keeping a close eye on Lu Xia Tian's movements.
This time, Lu Xia Tian actually went to the Linghuai Forest. This inevitably aroused his suspicion. For this broken Jie Dan's spirit creature, he risked his life, several times narrowly escaping death.

After much effort, he tried to find an alchemy master to refine this pill for him, but to no avail. Firstly, this pill was too extraordinary, and the alchemist dared not reveal any information about it lightly. Secondly, a first-class alchemist was protected too strictly by any major power; wanting to contact them privately was no easier than engaging in a life-and-death struggle with Crane Sound Wanderer.
This matter is of great importance, and Patriarch Chi Jie would absolutely not allow any accidents to occur.
"Don't you think alchemy is as simple as cooking" Lu Xia Tian asked back.
"Just state your conditions."
Pool Sect Ancestor suppressed his temper and said, he desperately needed this elixir, so he wouldn't have to look at He Yin Scattered Person's face anymore. Otherwise, his strength would always be suppressed by others, and he would have to constantly worry about whether He Yin Scattered Person had made further progress. This feeling was truly unpleasant.
“The cultivation technique I practice is somewhat special, requiring the primordial spirit essence and blood essence of a tenth-order demon beast. The more you provide, the greater my chance of successfully refining this pill. Otherwise, if the primordial spirit is insufficient at a critical moment, the backlash to me will be minor, but the damage to your provided spiritual materials will be significant.”
Lu Xia Tian said, since the other party gave him such a difficult-to-refine pill, it would be too unkind to himself if he didn't take this opportunity to ask for some conditions.
“What kind of martial arts requires the soul essence and blood of a tenth-rank demon beast” Chi Jie, the ancestor, said with some embarrassment on his face.
"The grade of the Broken Realm Pill is too high, still above the Nascent Soul Pill. The spiritual consciousness it consumes is extraordinary. Controlling that spirit fire is no easy feat either. If one cannot persevere to the end, they cannot successfully refine the pill. Can you provide it for me" Lu Xia Tian naturally wouldn't reveal a word to Chi Jie Ancestor.
At least two Nascent Soul essences and blood of tenth-order demons. Don't try to fool me with weaklings, at least they have to be middle-tier in the tenth-order.
"You think a tenth-order demonic beast is just cabbage, something you can harvest at will" Ancestor Chi Jie's brow twitched with veins popping out. The might of a tenth-order demonic beast was formidable, even he would have to pay a hefty price if he wanted to subdue it.
“You team up with that Crane Sound Monster, and when the opportunity arises, I'll bring it up to him. By then, if you all drink to it, there’s an 80% chance it will work out. I can't let myself, a grandmaster of alchemy, refine pills for you without any reward.” Lu Xiaoteng put on a stern face and didn't care about Chi Jie Ancestor's expression. Now the other party was relying on him, and he wasn't clear about his alchemical methods.
Chi Jie Ancestor felt a surge of anger, but he didn't think anything was abnormal about Lu Xia Tian's attitude. A grandmaster of alchemy, showing face to Yuan Ying cultivators in other places was perfectly normal.
"Alright, but let me make something clear upfront. If I give you something and you're unable to refine my pills, wasting the spirit materials, then don't blame yourself for the consequences." Chi Jie ancestor threatened.
"You think the pill you want is something like a Foundation Establishment Pill or a Gold Condensing Pill, those inferior concoctions Do you think they can be achieved with just one furnace Even if I can't refine them, it's no big deal. I'll simply refine more pills and sell them to exchange for some spirit materials. Even if you put the primordial spirit essence and blood of a tenth-order monster in front of me right now, even then, I could only say that I'd give it a try. As for the success rate, it's about 30%!"
Lu Xia Tian's face changed, and he replied.
Looking so arrogant, it turned out to be a coward afraid of death as well. Chi Jie's ancestor sneered inwardly, but hearing Lu Xiaitian's words about a 30% success rate, his heart was filled with joy. A 30% success rate was already enough to gamble on.
Although this guy is a bit too young, his skill in alchemy is truly unparalleled in his life. Even if you change to an alchemy master, it is hard to say that he has such a high success rate.
Several days later, Lu Xiaitian used the excuse of problems with his own cultivation to have He Yin Sanren and Chi Jie Laozu go kill a tenth-order demon beast. Their task was to collect the demon beast's spirit essence and blood essence.
Although He Yin San Ren was a little doubtful, thinking that Lu Xiao Tian was playing tricks, Chi Jie Lao Zu, though hesitated for a moment, agreed. He Yin San Ren naturally couldn't say anything more, but then he thought that Lu Xiao Tian had told him about something as important as breaking through the realm pills, so he wouldn't help Chi Jie Lao Gui against him.
As for Lu Xia Tian, provoking a fight between him and Chi Jie Ancestor would be the most beneficial. But did he think that would allow him to escape What a naive fantasy! Not to mention the Jindan cultivators he brought with him, even the Jindan cultivators from Di You Gu were no less than two hundred in number. They could bury him with sheer numbers, does he really think he is a Yuan Ying cultivator He sneered inwardly.
As He Yinsan realized that Lu Xiaoteng couldn't possibly escape from his own Five Finger Mountain, he didn't dwell on it further. After all, from the perspective of a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator like him, there was no conceivable way for the other party to break free. Besides the twenty cultivators guarding near the cave dwelling openly, there were also countless Golden Core cultivators hidden in the surrounding area. Even if Lu Xiaoteng were a genius, wanting to break through would be courting enmity from all sides.
"My husband, are you planning something" While the Golden Core cultivators at the entrance to the cave abode continued their usual watch, Luo Ping'er caught a glimmer of intent in Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes.
"Let's talk about it later, I haven't made up my mind yet." Lu Xia Tian smiled and said, speaking out would only cause Luo Ping'er to worry.
"If there's a chance, you escape first. Wait until you become a Yuan Ying cultivator before coming back to save me." Luo Ping'er said earnestly.
“Let’s go together, naturally we walk together.” Lu Xia Tian shook his head.
Luo Ping'er smiled sweetly, didn't say anything more, just snuggled up to Lu Xiaoteng, cherishing the moment.
The following days were unusually peaceful. Lu Xiaotian still practiced as usual, refining his skills, concocting pills, and pondering over the few cultivation methods he had mastered. It seemed that the looming crisis held no bearing on him.
Not until another month passed did Chi Jie Ancestor and He Yin Scattered Person return, their bodies reeking of the aura of battle with demon beasts.
Feeling the killing intent emanating from the two of them, Lu Xia Tian was inwardly delighted.
“Everything you want is in here.” Chi Jie Ancestor tossed a storage pouch to Lu Xia Tian with a huff, and He Yun San Ren did the same.

After settling the matter, the two left together.
"Level 10 White-Striped Sabertooth Bear, Level 10 Demon Scorpion!"
Lu Xia Tian's eyes lit up. Two tenth-order Yuanshen essences, and a large amount of demon beast essence blood, these two kinds of demon beasts, in the strength of the tenth-order monsters, are indeed ranked among the top. It seems that these two old monsters haven't suffered any discounts.
Lu Xiaitian's lips curled up into a sneer. He snatched his top-grade Jindan Pill and imprisoned him here, not giving him a chance to escape. Otherwise, he would take back both principal and interest.
After obtaining these spiritual objects, Lu Xia Tian didn't hesitate at all. He directly went into seclusion, refining and sealing the two tenth-order demonic beast souls...
