worm, one after the other.Several hours later, they arrived at a place reeking of death. The ground was littered with corpses, some belonging to winged Coldthorn Demon Eagles with wingspans of severa...“Of course. Just prepare the spiritual materials.” Lu Xia Tian nodded.
Mr. Dongfang, I wonder if my family, the Makino family, also has this opportunity" Makino Nagasumi asked with a pounding heart.
"That's also possible, but besides needing as much Panzhi stone as possible, the higher tier the other spiritual creatures, the better. After all, too many of these spiritual creatures are useless." As for the primordial spirit, essence soul, and blood of high-level demonic beasts, the more the better. After all, these two things can be used to save lives at critical moments.
"Thank you, Mr. Dongfang."
Muye Changting was overjoyed to hear this. Though he had paid a hefty price of 20 million low-grade spirit stones just now, being able to establish a relationship with Lu Xiaoteng could be considered a blessing in disguise. Including Zhu Qingquan and others, what they valued most was undoubtedly Lu Xiaoteng's success in refining the Nascent Soul Pill earlier.
“It's better to stumble upon a place than choose one. So, please, Brother Dongfang, stay here for a few days. I will send you the spirit materials you need shortly. I believe it will also take some time for you to refine your pills.”
Zhuge Qingquan chuckled pleasantly, then presented a bamboo token and said, “Judging from your actions, Brother Dongfang probably dislikes being bothered by mundane affairs. However, since Brother Dongfang possesses such astonishing skills in alchemy, it is inevitable that you will be disturbed someday. This black bamboo token is my symbol, and it also represents my status at Yunya Auction House. If Brother Dongfang wishes to avoid the hustle and bustle, just display this item. I believe even if others don't respect my auction house, they will at least give me, Zhuge someone, some face.”
"This slippery old fox," the head of the Mangxiao Clan muttered to himself. Though this alchemy master wasn't willing to join any faction for now, Zhuk Qingquan had given him the token nonetheless. As an alchemy master, his combat strength was inevitably inferior to that of ordinary cultivators. If he encountered danger in the future, displaying Zhuk Qingquan's token would undoubtedly solve quite a bit of trouble. As long as the other party used it, they would inevitably mark it with the labels of Zhuk Qingquan and Yunya Auction House.
Cultivators cultivate a kind of ethereal energy. Most cultivators, regardless of their alignment, deeply dislike owing favors for this very reason.
“This is my token of love. Brother Dong Fang, if you are ever troubled by worldly affairs, you can simply display this token. By activating it with your energy, you can also send a signal to those in my clan. They will be there to assist you immediately. I believe my name still holds some weight within the country.”
Mango, naturally unwilling to be inferior to Zhuqingquan, also gave Lu Xiaoteng a jade pendant with a summoning function.
"Many thanks to the two fellow cultivators, I shall then take my leave."
Lu Xiaotian nodded. With so many people present, representing several forces, if he didn't get enough benefits from here, it was very likely that his news would be leaked out. The sudden appearance of a master alchemist would indeed attract the attention of many forces. However, even if he didn't temporarily join Yunya Auction House or the Mang family, accepting both parties' goodwill could dispel many people's thoughts.
Zhu Qingquan and Mang Xiao saw Lu Xiaoteng accept the token, their hearts filled with joy. Although they hadn't yet achieved their goal, the other party's actions were a good sign.
Lu Xiaoxian's current identity as a master alchemist is invaluable, especially his mastery of the Nascent Soul Pill, which is highly valued by Zhu Qingquan and Mangxiao. At this time, regardless of any cultivation family or even Immortal Kingdoms, the Nascent Soul Pill is the most important strategic resource. The strength of a family or an Immortal Kingdom, besides the top cultivators, depends on the Nascent Soul cultivators as the backbone.
After both parties had agreed on the price for refining medicinal pills and exchanging spirit beasts, Lu Xia Tian chose a manor provided by Yun Ya Auction House as his alchemy location.
As for Yu Xiaoqiao, she has already been taught the cultivation method and can stay there temporarily. As for the transaction with Xiang Hua, a deputy primordial spirit controlling a puppet to practice with him is sufficient.
The estate was large, with pavilions, towers, and a small lake containing hot spring water. Fish swam in abundance in the lake. In winter, snow covered the entire estate, blanketing it in a vast expanse of white. Even amidst this snowy landscape, a few birds occasionally took flight, chirping incessantly.
Less than half a day after Lu Xiaotian entered the manor, Zhu Qingquan, the head of the Mangxiao family, had his servants deliver all the spiritual objects that Lu Xiaotian needed.

Even the rare and valuable Panzhi stones, difficult even for great cultivators to obtain, are still absent. The primary reason is that these spirit souls and essences of monsters and beasts are lacking.
The most valuable thing sent by the head of the Mawang family was a twelfth-rank Ziyan demon elephant soul essence. While Zhu Qingquan sent an eleventh-rank Chi Flame Eagle and Bai'e demon monkey soul essence. As for the monster blood, there were more.
“Although the injury couldn't be healed immediately, with these things, his self-defense capability had increased considerably.” Lu Xia Tian sighed softly. Compared to the other items, he naturally preferred the Spirit Marrow Crystal Jade and the Panqing Stone.
As for the Biqiong Yao Xi, it was an evil and corrupt substance refined over thousands of years by three snake demons. Lu Xia Tian couldn't be sure if a powerful cultivator could remove this Biqiong Yao Xi.
Perhaps, but it would expose his true condition. Before Lu Xiaotian had enough self-defense capability, he didn't want to reveal his secrets to others. He would rather spend more time finding a way.
After accepting the benefits from others, Lu Xiaotian began to help them refine pills. The pills he refined were mostly nascent soul pills, but there were also some other pills with good effects, such as improving mana, healing injuries, and even a small number of pills that could restore primordial spirit.
To the great satisfaction of both Zhu Qingquan and the head of the Mang Xiao sect, Lu Xiaotians success rate in alchemy remained consistently between 20% to 30%. His success rate for producing Foundation Establishment Pills was slightly higher, sometimes even reaching 35%. There were occasional instances where he produced mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pills.
The refining rate of other elixirs wasn't particularly high, but they weren't unprofitable either. Besides, they were some rather esoteric medicinal pills, and Lu Xia Tian was always able to refine them successfully. This ability was something that other alchemy masters lacked.
During that time, even the Mukaino family sent over spiritual objects, and Lu Xia Tian also refined a furnace of spirit pills on their behalf.
Months later, when the person who delivered demon beast blood came again, they found Lu Xia Tian had vanished. The manor was empty, with nothing to be found. The two Nascent Soul cultivators guarding the manor perimeter, a formation master, and dozens of other Golden Core experts nearly turned the entire manor upside down, but still failed to find Lu Xia Tian's whereabouts.

Upon hearing the news, Zhuk Qingquan and Mang Xiao's headmaster were immediately furious. They had originally seen that Lu Xiaoteng's cultivation was limited and wanted to use the pretext of protection to monitor his movements. On one hand, this was indeed out of a need for protection, after all, for a cultivator who hadn't yet reached the Yuanying realm, traveling around was extremely dangerous. On the other hand, it was naturally to further control Lu Xiaoteng.
"My Mok Zhuling has gone silent. How is the situation with Mang Xiao's token" Zhu Qingquan's face was filled with anger as he looked at the head of the Mang Xiao family beside him.
