Chapter 283: Ghost Dao Techniques

Pengs were working together with all their might, but at this time, Lu Xia Tian started to act against them. What confidence did this guy have to simultaneously face the Boundary Demon Pearl and thre...But Lu Xiaoteng thought about it and felt that it was normal. If the secret arts of the clan were so easy to leak, I'm afraid they would have been swallowed up by other clans long ago. Even ordinary cultivators, which one doesn't have their own secrets

He secretly shook his head and put the green spear and some monster materials aside, thinking that he would sell them later when he had a chance, in exchange for some useful spirit stones. Since he obtained many storage bags, the ones on his own body were already full. Fortunately, the space inside the barrier was spacious enough, but it was also piled with all kinds of miscellaneous things. He only put a symbolic amount of ordinary pills and a few common spiritual objects required by foundation-building cultivators in his own storage bag, as well as one or two captured magical artifacts. He never opened them, just to make himself look like other cultivators, so he arranged it this way.

Compared to the assets of the Feiqi tribe cultivators, Cheng Tao's son, this Jindan cultivator, was much richer. He sent a large amount of spirit stones into the barrier according to custom, and counted them again. There was also a copy of the "Bi Jiao Xuan Gong" cultivation method, which introduced the use of the Bi Jiao Pearl. In addition, there was even a book on refining Yin corpses, "Kui Yin Tian Shi Jue". Lu Xiaoteng frowned and flipped through a few pages. He wasn't very interested in this kind of Yin corpse refining technique, but it didn't hurt to learn about it. After all, these cultivators who took shortcuts often had high combat power once they were cultivated, especially after facing the green armor skeleton. Lu Xiaoteng felt that it was necessary to increase his understanding of these cultivators or ghost cultivators. Dealing with them in the future would be relatively easier.

After flipping through several pages, Lu Xia Tian discovered that this was a rather powerful method for refining Yin corpses. Moreover, the Yin corpse itself, after swallowing corresponding ghost energy, could continuously improve its strength. It could even transcend tribulation like cultivators, refine Ghost Pills, and even achieve the legendary Ghost Infants effortlessly.

The shock this manual brought to Lu Xia Tian was unimaginable. Let alone the legendary Ghost Embryo, even the Ghost Pill was an extraordinary existence. The difficulty of cultivation for Ghost Cultivators was greater than that of Human cultivators, especially crossing the Tribulation, which was a perilous journey with a high mortality rate. Once they achieved the Golden Core stage, they were often more powerful and formidable than ordinary Golden Core cultivators. This actually included the art of refining techniques for the Ghost Embryo stage, which was truly rare. In the entire Lingxiao Palace library, Lu Xia Tian had never seen a single Ghost Cultivator's manual. Moreover, this technique could not only be practiced by Human cultivators but also allowed Yin Corpse to cultivate.

Ghost cultivators are ostracized by the cultivation world, but the captured ghosts they command are not subject to too many restrictions. They are treated like other spirit beasts, with the exception that there are rumors of ghost-type spirit beasts that can enhance their power. However, being able to condense a Ghost Pill and even achieve a Ghost Infant is incredibly rare. Of course, this cultivation technique is also very demanding when choosing ghosts. After all, not every ghost has the chance to form a Ghost Pill or even become a Ghost Infant. Even among ghost cultivators, aptitude plays a crucial role.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Tao actually still had such a formidable ghost cultivation technique in his hands. However, whether it was spirit pets or himself becoming a ghost cultivator, Lu Xia Tian wasn't particularly interested. The reason he went through this technique was to casually get a sense of the ghost cultivators' ideas. After skimming through it roughly, Lu Xia Tian put it away.

Xue Ling's body was too weak, and it took a full ten days for him to wake up leisurely. His senior sister had taken the Hundred Poisons Pill after which the toxicity was controlled. Her originally dark face was now white and clean, and her breath had also become relatively stable. Lu Xiaoteng estimated that she would be awake in a few days. With the efficacy of the Hundred Poisons Pill, if it weren't for the fact that she was poisoned too deeply, she would have already removed the toxicity. Now, it was just a matter of consuming a little more time.

Seeing that her senior sister had turned from danger to safety, Xue Lingxi was overjoyed. Only at this time did Su Qing and Luo Qian finally confirm that Lu Xiaoteng had truly refined the Hundred Poisons Pill. Although they still felt very weak inside, the ironclad fact was right before their eyes.

“No wonder you said you wanted to figure things out yourself, Brother Lu. I didn't expect your alchemy skills to be so high, probably even in the entire Immortal Palace, there aren't many alchemists who surpass you.” Su Qing looked at Lu Xiaodao with admiration, “Well, you have to help me refine some when the time comes.”

"I'm not quite ready yet. With your grandfather's connections, it's best to find someone reliable to refine it for you." Lu Xiaotian shook his head. This Su Qing was also a smart woman, speaking in veiled terms. Knowing Xue Ling was present, she didn't directly mention the Golden Condensation Fruit.

"That's hard to say, famous people are very difficult to invite. Unless Senior Brother Lu doesn't want to help with this." Su Qing insisted, she didn't believe Lu Xiaoyao's ghost story. If Lu Xiaoyao wasn't sure himself, he wouldn't decide to refine it himself. In her eyes, Lu Xiaoyao now was almost omnipotent.

“When your grandpa can’t find anyone to help, then you can talk. Right now, it’s still very early.”

“Then I shall take your word for it.” Su Qing saw that Lu Xiaoteng had not refused again, her face brightened with joy. As Lu Xiaoteng said, she was only just entering the sixth level of Foundation Establishment now, and it would probably take another decade or so to reach the ninth level. She still had plenty of time to prepare for forming the golden elixir, so there was no need to rush.

"I suppose so, but on one condition," Lu Xiaodao said.

"What conditions"

"Stay put in your room, don't go out until I say so." Lu Xiaoteng said in a deep voice, then turned and returned to his own room.

"Oh!" Su Qing replied helplessly. Although she felt a little bored staying inside, she thought that since Lu Xiaitian and Luo Qian were both there, it wasn't lonely either. She might as well just stay for a while. Besides, her cultivation had improved, and she needed to stabilize her realm.

Luo Qian saw Lu Xiaotian return to the secret room, his eyes filled with respect. Lu Xiaotian's strength had become so formidable, especially in alchemy where he had achieved such astonishing accomplishments. It wasn't that Lu Xiaotian was unwilling to reveal his true strength, otherwise, his status within Lingxiao Palace would be comparable to those Golden Core cultivators. The two were no longer on the same level. Luo Qian couldn't help but think bitterly. With such power, Lu Xiaotian still cultivated with such diligence. Luo Qian pondered this comparison, feeling that he had been too lazy in the past.

As for Xue Ling and her senior sister, one had exhausted too much energy, the other had just gotten rid of a deadly poison, both needed a long time to recuperate. With Lu Xia Tian and the others staying behind, safety was naturally not an issue, their hearts were overflowing with joy beyond words.

For the time that remained, Lu Xiaotian continued to practice alchemy and cultivation every day. He would also spend necessary time using his divine sense to probe the gray stone. Several times he came up empty-handed, but Lu Xiaotian did not lose heart. He couldn't remember how many strands of his divine sense were severed within the gray stone, but with more probes, there were a few times he glimpsed subtle movements inside. The longest time he saw anything was for the duration of a breath. This filled Lu Xiaotian with excitement, feeling that the time to unlock the secrets of this gray stone might not be far off.y grasping at empty air, pulled the head towards him. Lan Tong's severed head appeared unremarkable, but as it drew closer to Lou Yikong, a subtle shift occurred in its aura, imperceptible amidst the...
