Yes, in addition to them, we also lost junior brother Lu’s traces here.”
“Hmph, there are only a few zombies in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Lu Hai is really a useless thing,” The woman frowned slightly and said with contempt.
“Junior sister, you can’t underestimate the enemy. Although junior brother Lu’s cultivation is not as good as ours, after all, he’s already achieved the Core Formation Stage. Since he encountered danger here, there may be something more powerful inside,” The old man said in a gentle and mature tone.
“Senior brother, you worry too much. In order for Lu Hai to condense a Golden Core, he chose to blindly practice a Cultivation Method that seeks a rapid improvement of one’s realm. But in terms of power, it’s only ordinary. Have you forgotten? The last time he fought with a False Core rogue cultivator, he had to go all out just to defeat him.”
“Junior sister!” There was a hint of discontent on the old man’s face, “No matter what, junior brother Lu is still one of us, isn’t it too much for you to comment behind his back like this?”
“I’m sorry, I’ll pay more attention next time.”Seeing that the man was angry, she quickly pretended to look pitiful. However, it still couldn’t conceal her seductive feelings, which was obviously the result of a Magic Art of enchantment.
“Mm.” The male cultivator nodded his head and no longer pursued the matter. He changed his tone and said, “Speaking of which, the matter concerning Martial Nephew Wu and Martial Nephew Liao is quite strange. They were ordered to follow Lin Xuan. Why would they break into this valley full of zombies?”
“Maybe Lin Xuan led them in?” The female cultivator’s face showed a hint of contemplation.
“It’s possible, but at that time, in addition to the two Martial Nephews of my Thunder Cloud Mountain, the two major forces of the Righteous and Demonic Paths also sent spies. There were at least a dozen people, and each one was strong. On top of that, Lin Xuan also entered the Zombie Valley. Why did everyone else fall, but only he returned? You should know, these wild spiritual zombies don’t distinguish between friends and foes. They attack any living creature they see. “
“This…” The woman frowned slightly, and couldn’t think of a suitable reason. After a while, she said a little annoyingly, “We won’t know the whole story unless we capture Lin Xuan…”
“No way,” The male cultivation didn’t even think about it and shook his head immediately, “Don’t think that we don’t know it’s the brat behind the scenes. There are still some other coincidences, and there is no evidence at all. Even if it’s certain, we must not act rashly. “
“Why?”
“Junior sister, did you forget that although this kid’s cultivation base is not worth mentioning, he’s the junior sect master of Spirit Pill Mountain, and has a special status. Unless we want to be enemies with all the alchemists of the You Prefecture’s cultivation world, we mustn’t make a move against this kid. “
“But…” The woman wanted to retort but stopped, only saying one word, she was quite discouraged. After all, for cultivators. pills were really indispensable, and unless it was the Heavenly Dust Pill, no one would be willing to offend the alchemists foolishly.
There was also a trace of frustration on the old man’s face, “This action is indeed not worth the losses. Listening to the rumors and coming here to monitor the Spirit Pill Mountain, not only did we not have the slightest gain, but we lost those three disciples.”
“Senior Brother, are you really sure that there are no Heavenly Dust Pills in Spirit Pill Mountain? Since it was created by its founder, more than a thousand years have passed. Can they really not refine anymore? Is it fake news that they deliberately released?”
“Don’t worry, the news is absolutely true. After all, the person who passed it to us has a very high position in Spirit Pill Mountain.” The old man said with an awe aspiring look, “It’s said that to this day, the Heavenly Dust Pill’s recipe has indeed been passed down in the Spirit Pill Mountain through generations, and is enshrined in the top floor of the library. However, the materials used for refining it had reached the level of heaven-defying, and no one can currently provide the flames needed for it. “
“Is the Three Colored True Flame of Nascent Soul cultivators not enough? If Spirit Pill Mountain really wanted to refine this pill and split it between others as a reward. Not to mention the few Nascent Soul Seniors of our Righteous Path, even the Demon Venerable would be happy to oblige.” The woman said in puzzlement.
“Of course not. If the Three Colored True Flame really worked, with the Heavenly Dust Daoist Master being a Nascent Soul cultivator at that time, he wouldn’t have bothered snatching the mountain amidst the mountains.”
“Mountain amidst the mountain?” She was startled, and then immediately remembered that in the center of the Spirit Pill Mountain, there is a huge ring-shaped volcano. And in the belly of this volcano, there is another hill shaped like a Cauldron. A natural environment that was most suitable for Alchemy.
In the beginning, each of the great sects fought for it, but in the end, it was obtained by Daoist Heavenly Dust by using his wits.
“The Three Colored True Flame is no good, and it’s only possible to refine the Heavenly Dust Pill using the purest Fire of Earth Veins from mountain amidst mountain. Unfortunately, no one in today’s Spirit Pill Mountain can use this natural Cauldron.” The old man sighed and explained, “The news shouldn’t be wrong.”
The female cultivator also sighed, “Senior Brother, the people from the other sects also left Spirit Pill Mountain in the past few days. Did they also get this news?”
“What’s so strange about it? Since we can put people in Spirit Pill Mountain, the other forces can also do the same. Even if they don’t have spies, they can still have other channels. Which of the two factions of the Demonic and Righteous Path is a sheep. Besides…” The old man paused, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face
“What’s wrong, do you still need to conceal anything from me? I have been wholehearted with you for a hundred years…”
“Yu’er, you’re worrying too much, you are my Daoist Couple, I believe in you. It’s just that this matter is quite troublesome, and you have always been unable to keep it from coming out of your mouth.”
“Don’t worry senior brother, I promise that without your permission, I’ll never say a word…” The woman was aroused by curiosity, and she said a little coquettishly while pulling the man’s arm.
“Well, this matter is also related to Spirit Pill Mountain. It has not spread yet. Although they have not been able to refine the Heavenly Dust Pill in the last thousands of years, their strength is more than just what’s on the surface, I am afraid it’s not weaker than even our Thunder Cloud Mountain.” A haze flashed across the old man’s face, and he lowered his voice.
