Chapter 281 Helplessness

or something.“Are you looking for me” A shadow of Lu Xia Tian condensed in mid-air."Sir, what is this" Zhen Jingshan looked at the shadowy figure that had coalesced in mid-air."Here you go." Lu Xiaoda...Xue Ling collapsed, and when Su Qing went to help feed Xue Ling's senior sister the antidote pill, Xue Ling was still staring blankly into space. If it hadn't been for Lu Xia Tian calling her, she probably wouldn't have come to her senses.

In fact, Xue Ling's situation was far more serious than anyone imagined. According to Lu Xia Tian's estimate, because of the excessive amount of energy channeled during the crossing, he had lost at least ten years of his life expectancy. If he wasn't a cultivator and alchemist who could give Xue Ling several pills to nourish his foundation, it would have been possible for him to die from weakness.

Xue Ling's body was too depleted and she was still asleep. Su Qing and Luo Qian couldn't bear to stay put, wanting to go for a walk. As a result, with their abilities, they almost got lost in those bizarre ice crystals. Especially the chaotic light made the two of them return looking exhausted and unwell, their divine consciousness seemingly affected.

Lu Xia Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. It was actually better this way; it would save both of them from running around aimlessly. If they were discovered by other cultivators outside, it would be troublesome. Although the Misty Forbidden Zone had ferocious monsters and chaotic energies, finding two or three people was extremely difficult. Ordinary Qi Refinement cultivators faced immense danger within. But nothing is absolute. What if they had bad luck and actually encountered someone Who could say for sure about these things

Back in the inner room, Xue Ling was still unconscious and unlikely to wake up soon. He couldn't leave for now, and considering his caution, he felt that with such a major incident occurring outside, concerning the Jin Gold Fruit and with many people dead, half a month wasn't enough time for people to relax their vigilance. Going out right now would still be unsafe.

Lu Xia Tian had nothing to do, and thinking of the only Qing Shuang Long Gui Dan that he had given to Su Qing again, Lu Xia Tian restarted his furnace and refined more pills. This time, two Qing Shuang Long Gui Dans were refined, and with the previous experience of refining the Bai Du Pills, two batches were also made.

In the future, when encountering someone who uses poison, it would also be considered a means of defense. When Lu Xia Tian put away the Hundred Poisons Pill, he smiled and suddenly patted his forehead, "I almost forgot about this matter."

After putting away the dan vial, Lu Xia Tian took out the Soul-Binding Orb from his storage bag. The Yuanshen inside sensed Lu Xia Tian and was overjoyed, "Daoist friend, you have kept us waiting! You finally appeared."

Lu Xia Tian said, "I've been delayed by some things lately."

Yǔanshén anxiously asked, "Have you obtained the Jinjinguo yet"

“I’ve already got it.”

"Since that's the case, could my friend go to the place I mentioned and help me find a Yin corpse Although it's neither human nor ghost, it can at least cling to life for a while longer." Yuan Shen's voice was filled with anticipation.

“Right now, things aren't good. This whole incident with the Golden Condensation Fruit has caused quite a stir, and I need to lay low. To avoid being hunted by those outside cultivators, I've returned to a dangerous area within the Mist Forbidden Zone. I came here with others, and the person leading us is currently unconscious and we can't leave for now.” Lu Xiaodao said.

“My friend, I hope you’re not going back on your word and leaving me stranded. "

"If I wanted to burn bridges, would I need to tell you" Lu Xia Tian raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. Although he was decisive and ruthless, he considered himself a man of his word, unless he discovered the other party's intentions were malicious. Hearing this soul's suspicion, he immediately became angry.

When the Primordial Spirit heard this, he felt it made sense. Given his current state, he knew that arguing with the other party would only result in losses. So, his tone softened and he said, "I was a bit hasty just now, fellow Daoist, please forgive me. Indeed, it is as you say. Fellow Daoist, if you do not intend to keep your word, you can simply discard this Soul-Binding Pearl and ignore it. There's no need for all this talk."

"That's all you need to know. I'll let you know when I'm out." There was no common ground between them, and although Lu Xia Tian wouldn't go back on his word, he wasn't willing to get too close to someone so suspicious. After fulfilling his promise, they would be strangers. If anything unfavorable about him came out later, Lu Xia Tian wouldn't mind taking care of it.

Too lazy to say anything more to the primordial spirit, Lu Xia Tian directly put away the Soul-Suppressing Pearl. Then, he took out the two pieces of gray stone from within the barrier. One was snatched from a cultivator from another realm in the past, and the other came from the body of the Black Wind Demon Python. The two gray stones looked exactly the same, but the one obtained from the cultivator from another realm was unremarkable. Could it be that it was also sealed by some kind of seal Or was it originally just an ordinary piece of hard gray stone, and they just happened to look a bit alike

Unable to see through the mystery, Lu Xia Tian put away the seemingly ordinary gray stone and carefully examined the one obtained from the Black Wind Demon Python's body. Last time his divine sense had recklessly entered it, causing him to lose a strand of his divine sense, he still remembered it vividly. This time, Lu Xia Tian dared not try again recklessly, but after pondering for a while, he still couldn't figure it out. Even when encountering difficulties in cultivation, or alchemy, or other troubles, he always knew what the problem was. But this gray stone left Lu Xia Tian feeling somewhat frantic.

Lu Xiao slashed the stone with his weapon for a while, but the grey stone remained unscathed. Unconvinced, Lu Xiaotian even used his Earth-Shattering Blade, but he still couldn't leave even a shallow mark on it. Frustrated, Lu Xiaotian tried burning it with charcoal fire, roasting it in his alchemy furnace, boiling it in water, and even pricking his finger to drip a drop of his blood onto it, but all efforts were in vain. The stone lay there motionless, seemingly mocking him for his futile attempts like he was performing for monkeys.

Almost all the methods had been tried, but the gray stone remained motionless. It looked just like an ordinary stone, so ordinary that it was hard to tell it apart from any other. If it hadn't been obtained from the Black Wind Demon Python's body, and if Lu Xia Tian hadn't felt its effect on his divine sense, he would have definitely treated it as an ordinary stone and not noticed anything unusual about it.

Lu Xia Tian couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. Since his debut, he had still been helpless against this one thing. However, thinking of the extremely strange attack method of the Black Wind Python, Lu Xia Tian was unwilling to give up just like that. If he wasn't a sixth-rank body cultivator, even if his strength was stronger than the Black Wind Python, as long as his physical body was a little weaker, he would probably fall into the hands of the Black Wind Python. If he could learn that blow, for him, it would be easy to kill foundation-building cultivators, and even facing golden core cultivators, he might not have no chance to escape. Although he was already extremely powerful among foundation-building cultivators, golden core cultivators were always a sword hanging over his head, and he had offended more than one golden core cultivator. As far as he knew, there was Zhou Tong from a long time ago, and Cheng Tao's father from recently, both in Xuan Ye City. Facing these golden core cultivators, he didn't have the slightest power to fight back.ld still catch up. Both of them had strength comparable to his. Especially Wen Tingdao, this old monster, was well-deserved as the number one powerhouse in the secret realm. If it wasn't for his skil...
