Chapter 93: 93 Mysterious Sun Pill Scripture
"how dare you!"
xuan yu snorted coldly and waved her hand, casting dozens of fireballs.
the clone talisman was similar to an illusion technique, which couldn't withstand a real person's spell. in an instant, they were all blasted to pieces.
"all fakes?"
xuan yu's brows furrowed slightly as her divine sense swept across a hundred zhang radius in an instant. from her sleeve flew a golden light which, upon meeting the wind, turned into a golden net and enveloped the ground forty or fifty zhang to the east.
the golden net seemed formless and insubstantial as it vanished into the ground in a blink and wrapped around a figure in black armor, pulling it up from beneath the surface.
"senior, spare my life."
zhou yi's face was pale, and his legs shook like chaff.
xuan yu's face was cold as ice as she waved her hand and summoned the magic artifact, the golden spirit net, back, reprimanding him.
"i kindly called out to you, yet you dared to defy..."
boom, boom, boom, boom!
a series of explosions sounded, and the golden spirit net instantly tore open, spewing forth underground fire that surged toward xuan yu.
"an insect's trick!"
xuan yu's expression remained calm, as she had anticipated this. she was not some 'good girl' cultivated in a sect, during the years she had been in tianyang abyss, she had killed so many chu state's evil cultivators that their heads rolled.
the daoist crown on her head sent down protective divine light, and the golden hairpin in her hair turned into a flying sword, slashing towards zhou yi.
moo!
zhou yi's eyes turned blood-red as he howled to the sky. his already robust figure swelled rapidly, growing over three zhang tall.
two giant golden horns grew on his head, and his thick arms, like pillar courts, reached for the flying sword in one hand and threw a punch directly at xuan yu's face with the other.
with a loud crash
the protective divine light shattered instantly, and the divine power of ten thousand jin struck xuan yu's head, sending her tumbling to the ground like a broken kite.
zhou yi showed no sign of joy on his face. a common real person suffering such a sneak attack might have been seriously injured, but xuan yu was a direct disciple of the pill cauldron sect, with who knows how many protective treasures.
he sprinted for several hundred zhang, activated the earth-traveler pearl, and burrowed his way underground towards linyuan city.
a few breaths later.
xuan yu rose into the air from the ground, her hair disheveled, her eyebrows inverted, and a purple-red fist mark on her left cheek.
"you demon dare to do this!"
she steered her flying light around for inspection, her divine sense scanning in all directions, but she couldn't find zhou yi's trace.
xuan yu flew back to the original spot and landed in front of the chen family, questioning chen yang.
"if it weren't for the jade dew art, it would have been a bankrupting fight!"
zhou yi picked out two protective magic artifacts, refined them for his own use, and kept the rest in his storage bag. he then began inspecting the jade slips.
the first one.
"a cultivation diary? who in their right mind keeps a diary... hmm? it seems i have written one too, no harm, no harm!"
he continued reading.
"tsk tsk! this daoist friend even wrote a novel, with the female protagonist being... true immortal xuan yu, a tribute to the seniors!"
to cultivators, jade slips were similar to convenient and quick access books, used to record insights or experiences for easy review and reflection at later times.
after inspecting each one, he destroyed those of a personal or private nature, while carefully preserving those containing insights and experiences.
"soul soothing intoxication, a spiritual wine formula!"
zhou yi frowned slightly; this wine was quite renowned in tianyang city, being one of the very few spiritual objects that could enhance the soul.
the only person in the marketplace capable of brewing such wine was zhao zhi, who was well-acquainted with zhou yi!
"so, when zhao daoist friend mentioned the li family in the east city, he was actually referring to the chen family in the south city. perhaps it was an intentional concealment, maybe he unwittingly fooled me as well, and ultimately, fate is unpredictable, he died by my hand!"
zhou yi closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then put zhao zhi out of his mind.
the formula for soul soothing intoxication was invaluable, finally giving zhou yi a taste of the exhilarating feeling of sudden wealth through killing and plundering.
"however, all these combined do not compare to even a tenth of the mysterious sun pill scripture!"
zhou yi took out the jade slip, pondered over every sentence of the pill scripture, and because he had read quite a few notes from pill masters, it was not as difficult to understand as the introduction to array paths.
the "mysterious sun pill scripture" included refining spiritual medicine, the art of fire control, and pill concoction techniques, constituting a very complete lineage of pill cultivation.
the truly valuable part was the last dozen or so pill formulas, which included not only commonly seen pills like the nurturing origin pill and the yellow dragon pill in the market, but also at the end, the recipe for the foundation establishment pill.
"the pill cauldron sect has a tight grip on the foundation establishment pill, and i've never heard of the formula being leaked. could this be why true immortal xuan yu intervened?"
zhou yi then shook his head. how could the pill cauldron sect's true legacy lack pill recipes? and even with the recipes circulating, few could successfully concoct a foundation establishment pill.
the main ingredient, thousand-year-old spirit ginseng!
the foundation establishment pill ensures that even if one fails to break through the realm, the meridians and the dantian are not damaged, thanks to the protective properties of the thousand-year-old spirit ginseng.
zhou yi patted his chest, "you little guy, you have such divine effects?"
huu huu huu—
the spirit ginseng child shrank to half a foot in size and lay sleeping in zhou yi's arms. he ignored the call, twisted his body, and continued his deep slumber.
this method slowed the dissipation of spiritual energy and could survive in the mundane world for over a hundred years.
if too much time passed and the spiritual energy within suffered significant loss, the intelligence-granting spirit would also fade. even if he could return to the cultivation world and regather the spirit later, it would no longer be the same spirit ginseng child.
