Chapter 260 The Taotie Seed and Final Preparations for Breakthrough
The elder of the Reincarnation Divine Sect, unbeknownst to others, had acquired a seed of the Taotie Tree, aiming to use it to break through to a higher realm. Now, he has gone missing. Given this knowledge, the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect could not stand idly by and watch the Reincarnation Divine Sect engage in such cruel and inhumane deeds."It's mostly because we cannot bear to see the Reincarnation Divine Sect use the Taotie Tree seeds for such destructive purposes," they argued, "not to prevent their elder from ascending to a higher realm.""I understand, I understand," Chu Xuan chuckled lightly. After a brief laugh, he stroked his chin, contemplating the uses of the Taotie Tree seed.At first glance, it seemed to be an immensely terrifying and evil entity, untouchable by all. Yet even the Nascent Soul elder of the Reincarnation Divine Sect had planned to use it to overcome his own cultivation hurdles. Perhaps, Chu Xuan mused, he could also use it to break through some of his diff
Chapter 261 Alchemist He and the Politics of Heavenly Sword City
As Chu Xuan flicked another blood pearl, the seed seemed less interested, even actively repelling the pearl."It's getting picky now," he noted. He then threw a larger blood pearl. True to his prediction, numerous tendrils surged forward and devoured it instantly. In just a moment, one of the tendrils thickened significantly, growing almost three times its original size.Chu Xuan extended his spiritual sense to make contact, hoping to perhaps communicate or understand it better. However, within the Taotie Tree seed, there was only a pure, insatiable desire to consume. No matter how Chu Xuan tried to connect, the only response he received was a singular, overwhelming impulse: Eat!"I'll just keep eating!" The seed seemed to proclaim with its actions, relentless in its hunger.Chu Xuan's mouth twitched involuntarily. He had initially thought that the Taotie Tree seed might be akin to a demonic beast, one with which he could possibly forge a soul contract. However, this creature was enti
Chapter 262 The Request for the Heavenly Lifespan Pill
That evening, after closing his shop, Chu Xuan attended an auction before returning to his cave dwelling. This routine had defined his days over the past month. During this time, he had acquired several Nascent Soul techniques, mostly of medium quality, with only one considered superior."Where can one find the top-tier Nascent Soul technique?" Chu Xuan sighed in resignation, the search continuing to elude him.That day, as Chu Xuan casually strolled through Pill Pavilion, searching for alchemical ingredients he needed, he noticed two cultivators standing outside his rented shop, seemingly waiting for someone. His gaze lingered on them briefly, sensing something unusual about the pair.The male cultivator had a distinguished and handsome appearance, his robes fluttering elegantly. The female cultivator was robust and vibrant, resembling a blooming peony.His junior, who was helping at the shop, spotted Chu Xuan from a distance and hurriedly called out, "Alchemist He! You're finally ba
Chapter 263 The Alchemist's Decision and the Cautious Cultivator
Hearing Chu Xuan's words, Xun Zhao was somewhat surprised. Such a golden opportunity to appear before a Deity Transformation cultivator and Chu Xuan was declining?He had visited several alchemists who were all very eager. Xun Zhao invited him several more times, but seeing Chu Xuan still hesitant and worried about his insufficient alchemical skills slowing down the progress of the Heavenly Lifespan Pill, he eventually gave up.Zhao Qian looked at Chu Xuan with a hint of disdain, though she hid it well and did not show it on her face. In her view, Chu Xuan was overly cautious, missing out on such a great opportunity. Such chances were rare, once in a hundred years! Giving you a chance, yet you prove useless!Xun Zhao sighed lightly, "It's a pity... fellow daoist He, perhaps you do not realize, but you just missed a great opportunity."Zhao Qian did not say much. In her view, she and Chu Xuan were clearly on different paths. As long as she did well in the task, she would soon become a
Chapter 264 The Grand Auction and the Alchemist's Fortune
Moreover, Chu Xuan's fame had spread widely, attracting cultivators from cities like Righteous Dao City, Majestic Sword City, and Celestial Sound City, all of whom came specifically to request his alchemical services. With so many cultivators visiting at different times, Chu Xuan couldn't possibly handle each request personally. These requests were taken care of by He Ze.Since He Ze's arrival, Chu Xuan had become even more leisurely, something he quite enjoyed."Master He! Do you know there's been a major event recently?" He Ze suddenly exclaimed.Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow, "What's the matter?"He Ze excitedly reported, "It seems you haven't heard yet. I heard from others that in a few days, Heavenly Sword City is going to host a large-scale auction. Elder Ximen of the Majestic Sword Sect will personally preside over it!"Chu Xuan's interest was piqued, "What kinds of items will be auctioned?"He Ze thought for a moment, "Nascent Soul spiritual items! Top-tier Soul Condensation tech
Chapter 265 The Price of Power: The Blood Demon Soul Technique
The man walking in front, with silver at his temples, was clearly identifiable as the Nascent Soul elder of the Majestic Sword Sect who governed this Heavenly Sword City—Ximen Qing.Yet, Ximen Qing, walking alongside the icy beauty, cautiously remained a half-step behind her. Could she be the one who, according to rumors in Heavenly Sword City, supplied the auction items? It seemed likely she was Leng Hanshuang, the saintess of the Reincarnation Divine Church."Leng Hanshuang... It's said she's born with earth-grade spirit root and spirit body." He Ze whispered, intrigued by the gossip. "Though her talents fall slightly short of the Holy Son of the Reincarnation Divine Church, Situ Kong, her perfectly matched spirit root and body allow her cultivation speed to keep pace without lagging."Chu Xuan pondered this information. He wasn't sure of the exact nature of Leng Hanshuang's spirit root and body, or whether they suited his needs.As they mused, the doors to the auction hall thundere
Chapter 266 A Vile Practice and a Divine Invitation
The auctioneer's face grew increasingly awkward, but she continued, "The starting bid is eighty thousand small spiritual stones. Each increment must be no less than one thousand small spiritual stones. Please, make your bids..."She braced herself for the possibility that the item might not sell.However..."Eighty-five thousand!""Eighty-eight thousand!""Ninety-six thousand, and nobody better competes with me! If someone's going to do something this morally reprehensible, let it be me!""One hundred thousand! I'll take it! Don't anyone dare outbid me!"The auctioneer was left speechless. Weren't they just calling it ethically abhorrent? Weren't they just saying it was utterly useless? Why were they now outbidding each other so eagerly?He Ze was also shocked, "Why is this happening?"Chu Xuan simply chuckled, "Advancing from Golden Core to Nascent Soul is successful for only one or two out of ten cultivators. Regardless of the method used, forming a Nascent Soul always invites a hea
Chapter 267 The Path to Nascent Soul
Chu Xuan sighed inwardly. Shaking his head with a rueful smile, he said, "My skills are limited and shallow; I dare not concoct pills for True Master Tiancang. I fear I might delay the progress of the Heavenly Lifespan Pill. Thank you for your generous offer."Leng Hanshuang's eyebrows knitted tightly together, her face settling into a cold expression. Wu Shang scoffed, "You alchemists truly lack worldly wisdom. The Holy Maiden herself has extended an invitation, and yet you dare to refuse?"Chu Xuan appeared terrified, trembling slightly, "The Holy Maiden herself?" He reiterated earnestly, "Every word I spoke is true; I truly fear delaying the Heavenly Lifespan Pill's progress."Wu Shang seemed ready to speak further, but Leng Hanshuang waved him off, "If he refuses the opportunity we offer, let it be. Let's go." With that, she strode forward decisively.Zhao Qian cast a brief glance at Chu Xuan and then looked away. She felt as if He Liang now belonged to a different world. From thi
Chapter 268 Ascension to Nascent Soul and the Heavenly Dao Dew
In an instant, Chu Xuan's aura surged tremendously. His consciousness swept out like a vast river, easily sensing everything within a thousand li. If he extended his consciousness without restraint, he could perceive everything within three thousand li, unless another Nascent Soul cultivator was present, which would diminish his sensory range.Before Chu Xuan could revel in his success, the sky unexpectedly darkened with clouds that appeared out of nowhere. In moments, the bright sky turned pitch black.Flickers of lightning hinted at the brewing heavenly tribulation. The extraordinary creatures of the ice plains fled in terror, directionless like headless flies.Chu Xuan looked up at the dark heavens, contemplating the increasingly oppressive tribulation. Normally, a Nascent Soul tribulation comprised three strikes. If one's misdeeds were many, these strikes would be terrifyingly enhanced.If a Deity Transformation cultivator intervened, the tribulation would escalate to levels even
Chapter 269 The Great Extinguishing Thunder Fist
Wang Zhenxu sneaked a glance at Chu Xuan, marveling inwardly. Decades had passed, many things had changed, but the immortal before him remained the same as ever."Speak, what advancements has the Enlightenment Institute achieved?" Chu Xuan asked casually.With great respect, Wang Zhenxu presented a stack of bound papers. "Immortal, this is a body-cultivation technique researched by Liu Meng. He believes it might be of use to you."Chu Xuan took the papers and browsed through them, genuinely surprised. Although the technique seemed fantastical, a closer examination revealed its grounding in reality. This method seemed to combine the martial arts of this world.Now Chu Xuan was at the thirty-first level of body refinement, possessing boundless and formidable strength. However, he still lacked the martial techniques to fully utilize this power.While body cultivation methods were somewhat accessible, martial techniques for advanced body cultivators had long been lost to the sands of time
