Chapter 1103: Refining a Clone
hen let's go!" Luo Qian nodded. "The three of us siblings can support each other all the way to this realm, and we can do the same in the fairy world.""Master, Master Uncle, I want to go too." Qing Li...“Twenty million low-grade spirit stones, here.” It’s not uncommon for Yuan Ying cultivators to refine avatars with spirit creatures, but it's not a particularly significant role. This withered-faced old man bled heavily when bidding for the tenth-order mirage pearl earlier. It’s understandable that he wants to recoup some spirit stones. The price is considerably higher than a ninth-order puppet, but a phantom body refined from golem stone is quite durable and long-lasting. In the future, it will save him the trouble of finding new puppets. It's better to spend some time refining a few more avatars.

Having put away the puppet stone, Lu Xia Tian continued to browse through other items offered by the cultivators. As he passed the cultivator in a raincoat who had previously competed with him for the Wu Gui Yi, he saw a bead the size of a black pigeon egg. The bead was neither gold nor jade, but it was perfectly natural, its surface smooth and free from any dust. It emitted a faint aura of Buddha-nature, giving Lu Xia Tian a strangely familiar feeling.
"What is the origin of this pearl, and what would you exchange it for" Lu Xia Tian asked the monk in the raincoat.
“This was obtained from a place of death, its origins are unknown. If you desire it, simply offer the Ghost Robe in exchange.” The hooded cultivator wore a greenish complexion and his eyes held a sinister gleam, clearly the result of frequenting places thick with ghostly Qi.

“This bead’s purpose is unknown, and you want to trade it for my ghost robe Aren't you ashamed” Lu Xia Tian let out a cold snort, turned around, and was about to leave.
After walking a few steps, the other party did not call out to him. Lu Xiaoteng couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart. This guy was really calm and collected. The aura of the black bead, he just glanced at it briefly, and he saw that it was exactly the same as the aura of the Extremely Black Saint Heaven Pagoda in his own seven-level Floating Pagoda.
Such Buddhist teachings are even harder to find. Lu Xiaoteng also didn't obtain the complete Floating Pagoda Monk Kung Fu. As for the Seven-Level Floating Pagoda, besides the normal ascetic practices and advancement through levels, cutting off worldly attachments and severing karmic ties, there were also some Buddhist esoteric treasures that could help in the cultivation of the Seven-Level Floating Pagoda.
For Buddhism and Taoism have long since vanished from this world. It would be incredibly difficult to find even one or two cultivators of these traditions, let alone those who correspond with the seventh-tier stupa.
Now I've luckily run into one, it seems like good fortune. Who would have thought this ragged monk was so calm and collected.
"This ghost cloak can't be conceded, could it be exchanged for another Taoist artifact" Lu Xia Tian turned around and asked. The person wearing the raincoat on his body was roughly equivalent to a magic weapon that concealed his breath. If he guessed correctly, this person was most likely a ghost cultivator who practiced ghost Taoism.
"Ghostly artifacts I hear that Senior has been to a secret realm where ghosts roam. If Senior can provide the complete skeleton of the Ghost King, in exchange for this black orb, it would be acceptable." The cloaked cultivator said.

“A complete Ghost King's skeleton It's not impossible. But relying solely on this incomplete black bead of yours, it's unlikely to be enough. Do you have any other similar Buddhist or Taoist artifacts” Lu Xia Tian asked.
“As for Buddhist and Daoist artifacts, I do have some, but they’re not on me. If you have the skill, we could go to a dangerous place to retrieve them. These things are of no use to me, so why would I keep so many on my person” The mendicant in rain gear shrugged.
In short, it's either the Underworld Outfit or a skeleton from a Ghost King realm. Love to change or not.
"Tell me the location of that dangerous place. This ghost ape's skeleton will be yours." Lu Xia Tian's temples throbbed, this guy was really playing by his own rules. Too lazy to waste any more time with him, Lu Xia Tian threw a storage bag at him.
"Really" The monk in the rainproof cloak opened his storage bag and found a complete skeleton of a ghost ape inside. He hadn't had high hopes originally, just wanted to give it a try. After all, killing the Ghost King was not easy, and obtaining the opponent's complete skeleton was even more difficult.
"As for the specific name of the place, I don't know. It's an ancient tomb deep within the Black Heaven Mountain Range. From Wushang City, it's southwest, roughly five million miles away." The monk in the rain cloak took the ghost ape skeleton and tossed the slightly damaged black orb to Lu Xia Tian.
Then, he took out another small piece of the black orb. It was exactly the missing part of the previous black orb. The Raincoat cultivator smiled and said, "Since you have taken most of the black orb, I believe this small piece should not be left behind. I don't want anything else, just exchange it for five Mu Shen Pills."
Lu Xia Tian's eyes flashed with anger. This guy was truly cunning, splitting a black pearl into two separate offerings. Luckily, this Ghost King skeleton wasn't just one; he had several to spare, so exchanging one early-stage Ghost King skeleton wouldn't make much difference.
As for the Mùshén Dan, one could simply refine it whenever needed. There wasn't much loss, just that one was taken advantage of for nothing, leaving a bit of discomfort.
Lu Xia Tian didn't say anything else, directly throwing the Mu Shen Dan to the other party. Taking the remaining small piece of black bead, he left, too lazy to speak more with the raincoat cultivator.
As the auction neared its end, Lu Xiaoteng remained with two unneeded Lianying fruits. He then exchanged them for several tenth-grade demon scorpion essences and one eleventh-grade demon crab essence. Including those he had obtained from the Mang family and Yunya Auction House earlier, Lu Xiaoteng now had over ten accumulated demon beast essences in his possession.
Most of the items auctioned off were taken by people with backgrounds in cultivating immortal families. Lu Xia Tian got a few things he liked, and many others went home empty-handed. Princess County Yu Ya was one such person.

Lu Xia Tian ignored Yu Ya, who returned empty-handed. After returning, he went straight back to his residence's secret room.
"A puppet body stone, just right since I'm going to meet Wei Chi Yu this time. I don't know what the other party's plan is, so I'll use this incarnation to go." Lu Xia Tian stroked his chin and pondered to himself.
Lu Xia Tian took out the piece of puppet stone, held it up with his palm, and made it float in front of him. wisps of Fan Luo spiritual fire enveloped and burned the puppet stone.
After several hours, the puppet stone began to melt, gradually turning into a liquid. However, this sea bowl-sized puppet stone, when transformed into liquid, was constantly flowing, far exceeding the amount it had been in its solid state.
Lu Xia Tian extended his left hand, drawing his fingernails across his palm, causing a few drops of blood to seep out. He then flicked his finger, sending the blood beads into the liquid formed by the puppet stone.

The liquid began to take shape under Lu Xia Tian's divine sense control, gradually forming the rough outline of a human.
Lu Xiaoteng's spiritual sense stirred. A Yuan Ying, about a foot tall, emerged from the top of his head. The aura around the Yuan Ying was oppressive.
This nascent infant resembled a newborn, its breath pure and innocent. Its tiny hands, like those of an infant, drew circles in the void, releasing a surge of powerful magic that shot forward, forming a pill-like shape. After a moment, it solidified into the form of a golden elixir.
The golden elixir grew increasingly solid, eventually forming a complete nine-colored golden elixir. It was precisely the same as the appearance of Lu Xia Tian's golden elixir when he was still in the Golden Core stage.
Yīng's hand shot out, striking the nine-colored golden elixir and sending it into the liquid human form.
Lu Xia Tian opened his eyes. Since the Nine-Colored Golden Pill was injected into him, a split divine sense also entered along with it. Lu Xia Tian could feel that this liquid being was part of himself, and everything felt like an extension of his will.
After resolving this avatar's magical power and divine consciousness, what remains is the shaping of the internal meridians and its appearance.When fighting against others, one needs to consume magical power. Although the avatar cannot cultivate or improve its cultivation level, it can absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth through meditation, maintaining its combat effectiveness.
After several days, Lu Xia Tian looked contentedly at the silver-haired youth cultivator opposite him, who was almost identical to himself. This incarnation was now completely refined.
