Chapter 67: The Elder
Unexpectedly, a half-man-high rock behind him suddenly moved.The ice-spiked monkey attacking Zhu Jinfu hadn't even reacted before its body was split in two, killed instantly.Even Zhu Jinfu didn't rea..."Life danger, how can you say that" Lu Xiaitian narrowed his eyes.
“As you know, our Lingxiao Palace is vast, with tens of thousands of disciples in the Qi Refining stage alone. There are always some who have crooked minds and disregard the sect rules. Although some disciples were executed, a considerable number were exiled to various mines. These people live and breed for generations within the mines. There are many tough nuts inside, and you might even encounter cultivators in the later stages of Qi Refining. Although they haven't had any pills to supplement their cultivation for years and have had their spiritual artifacts taken away, leaving them with only a mining pickaxe, they can still be deadly. From my own experience, I know several junior brothers who entered the mines and never came out.”
"And the deeper the mine was dug, the more intricate it became, like a spiderweb. Demonic beasts would also emerge from the cracks in the earth from time to time. Three years ago, even a fourth-order demon scorpion appeared, killing hundreds of miners. It was only later that several foundation-building masters were sent by the Palace Gate to enter the cave and slay the demon scorpion."
“Then let’s go to the Hei Shui Zhai mine!” Although Luo Kang repeatedly warned him, Lu Xia Tian still made a decision very quickly. As for the problem that ordinary cultivators couldn't hide spirit stones, it wasn't a problem for him at all. He could send as many spirit stones as he wanted into the barrier, and besides, the Hei Shui Zhai mine was the only one that mixed several types of spirit stones. This would be convenient for him to accelerate the ripening of various spiritual herbs.
Having entered the mine, it was pitch black. Even if Qian Dali wanted to send someone to keep an eye on him, it would be impossible for them to see anything in there. According to Luo Kang, the tunnels inside the mine were as dense as a spider web. Hiding a few people would be like finding a needle in the sea.
Only by entering the mine can one temporarily escape the entanglement of exorbitant gifts. But before going to Heishui Village's mine, one has to make a stop at the Scripture Hall first.
The Library Hall is less than ten miles from the main Lingxiao Palace. This location was primarily chosen due to the Library Hall's importance in preserving the lineage of Lingxiao Palace. In case of an external invasion or any unforeseen events such as a fire, the cultivators in each building within the main palace could instantly summon their swords and arrive at the Library Hall for assistance.
The surface of the Guarded Library Hall seemed to have only two cultivators at the peak of the Qi Refining stage, but no one dared to cause trouble here. Lu Xia Tian entered the hall and discovered that there was another world inside. In the spacious hall, other cultivators came and went, with varying levels of cultivation.

On the other side of the hall, there were several stone alleys, each with inscriptions above them: Dan Medicine, Artifact Refining, Formations, Beast Taming, Cultivation, Spells, Techniques, and Puppetry. It seemed that Ling Xiao Palace's library was indeed rich and varied, but this was not surprising. After all, Ling Xiao Palace had been established for tens of thousands of years, so naturally, it had delved into various aspects. Other sects were the same.
For example, the forging techniques of Gujianzong, the alchemy of Qingdange, and the beast-taming arts of Wan shou ge are all renowned throughout the cultivation world. There are also factions like Lingxiaogong and Taichengmen that have relatively balanced development and average strength.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of cultivators came in and out. Lu Xia Tian walked alone into the alleyway of medicinal pills. The alleyway was several dozen feet wide. After walking more than ten feet, the scene suddenly opened up. A stone room stood before his eyes. Inside, a hunchbacked old man was fiddling with a few palm-sized black scales, muttering to himself incessantly, one couldn't tell what he was saying.
Looking past a stone house, all that could be seen were bookshelves. But atop them were not ordinary scrolls, but jade tablets. It seemed these were not originals, but copies imprinted onto the jade tablets using magical power.

Lu Xia Tian hesitated whether to greet the hunched old man, after all, the elder was the guard here, and occasionally the aura emanating from the hunched old man was that of a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage.
It's just that this hunched old man was muttering to himself, and Lu Xiaoxian was afraid of disturbing him by speaking up, so he angered the other party. Now that he has been remembered by Qian Dali, offending another Qi Refining cultivator, it is estimated that he really has no place to stand in Lingxiao Palace.
Therefore, Lü Xiaotiān just stood aside and waited for Xiu Zhōu. This wait lasted for more than half an hour. The hunched old man scratched his head in frustration, "It's not possible, it's really a headache."
"What are you doing, just standing here like a log" Finally, the hunchbacked old man noticed Lu XiaTian standing beside him and said with displeasure.
"I'm afraid to disturb my senior, so I'll just wait here." Lu Xia Tian twitched his mouth. Did he want to stand here and pretend to be a log

"Well, you're quite thoughtful. There are pill recipes for everything inside. A jade slip with the pill recipes needed for the Qi Refining stage costs only five low-grade spirit stones. For those involving Foundation Building, it's twenty low-grade spirit stones. Just go in and find what you need. When you're done, just call me directly. Don't just stand there like a log." The hunched old man waved his hand, then carefully put the black scales back on, signaling for Lu XiaTian to take care of himself.
Lu Xia Tian, as if pardoned from a great offense, didn't even bother with the hunched old man's accusations. He leaped over the stone house and focused his attention on these vast and profound alchemical formulas.
"Bai Lu Dan!"
"Qingyang Dan!"

"Neidan!"
"Vitality Pill!"

There were various elixirs that Lu Xia Tian could barely keep track of. Some even had names he'd never heard before. There was one called "Qingyang Dan" which, despite being only at the Qi Refining stage, had effects comparable to or even exceeding those of Juqi Dan by several times. "Qingyang Dan" was harder to refine than Juqi Dan, and required more spirit herbs. In comparison, Juqi Dan was more popular and its price was easier for ordinary cultivators to afford.

No wonder the disciples of those Foundation Establishment cultivators have a cultivation speed that is much faster than ordinary disciples. It turns out that they are already ahead of others in medicinal pills.
The "Bailu Dan" of the middle stage of Qi refining

After the Qi refining stage, "Wuhuadan"
Although he already had the formulas for the Qi Condensation Pills and Yuanqi Pills, according to the introduction, consuming these two spirit pills could further improve his cultivation speed by one-third. For Lu Xia Tian, the most valuable thing was time. On the one hand, collecting the spiritual herb seeds for the Foundation Establishment Pill took time. On the other hand, he couldn't catch up with the upcoming sect competition. But before the next one, seven years later, no matter what, he had to reach the peak of Qi Refinement. If he failed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, he would have to do his best in the competition to get a good ranking and as many Foundation Establishment Pills as possible.
So he must prepare for both, collecting the Lingcao for Zhuji Dan and cultivating simultaneously. He cannot put either aside.
After selecting the formulas for the Qi Refining Stage, Lu Xia Tian arrived at the area where the Foundation Establishment cultivators' formulas were located. He was once again captivated by the dazzling array of formulas.
“Foundation Establishment Pill!” Finally found it, Lu Xia Tian was overjoyed. He held the jade slip containing the Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand.

“Rewind Pill!” To be able to instantly restore all consumed mana, if one encountered a evenly matched or even slightly stronger opponent during a magical duel, wouldn’t having a Rewind Pill allow them to immediately turn the tide Even spirit stones can’t fully keep up with the speed of mana consumption when replenishing spiritual energy.
In the initial stage of foundation building, "Pei Yuan Dan" is used to improve cultivation. In the middle stage, "Han Feng Dan" is used.
...There are even "golden elixir" that can help foundation-building cultivators form golden cores.
Lu Xia Tian was dumbfounded. A single formula only cost twenty spirit stones! In Wang Yue City, he had bought a Gathering Qi Pill formula for more than this price. There were still quite a few spirit stones inside the barrier. Lu Xia Tian really wanted to copy all dozens of formulas he liked at once.
However, this crazy idea could only be thought about. Soon, Lu Xia Tian calmed down again. If he were to replicate dozens of copies, he would have to take out hundreds of spirit stones at once. This was not the financial capacity that a normal Qi Refining Stage cultivator could afford. At the same time as being stared at by Qian Dali, taking such action was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.ssing the Heavenly Demon Qin for so many years, it's probably not entirely out of the intention to deal with the demon clan. At least in the later stages, there was a change!Let me know if you have an...
