Chapter 346: Chapter 282: Nascent Soul (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

Six months later.

Inside the Cave Mansion.

Fang Xing gazed at the four "Nascent Condensing Pills" lined up before him, lost in thought.

After one failure, his performance on the second furnace was as if divinely assisted, and he easily refined a single ’Inferior Grade’ Nascent Condensing Pill.

Although it didn’t match up to those Fourth Rank Alchemists who guaranteed a Top Grade pill with each try, it was still quite impressive.

If this Inferior Grade Nascent Condensing Pill were to be exposed to the outside world, it would likely lead to a storm of bloodshed, with many Great Cultivators at the Core Formation Late Stage falling.

Even Master Wanfa, at the time of Perfect Core Formation, never had the chance to see an Inferior Grade Nascent Condensing Pill!

Or rather, if he could have obtained an Inferior Grade Nascent Condensing Pill with the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron in his possession, he might well have broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage and become ’Master Wanfa.’

With the help of the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron, he could elevate an Inferior Grade pill to a regular grade.

But at this moment, Fang Xing was ambitious, aiming for the Supreme Grade, and so, without any hesitation and while things were going smoothly, he began refining the third furnace.

The third furnace did not disappoint, producing a single Top Grade Nascent Condensing Pill!

Riding on the victory, Fang Xing initiated the refining of the fourth furnace of ’Nascent Condensing Pills.’

This time, his luck skyrocketed and he refined one Top Grade and one Inferior Grade pill.

It could be said that at least in the refining of Nascent Condensing Pills, he had caught up with those Fourth Rank Alchemists from the Da Jing Immortal Cultivation World.

This left Fang Xing somewhat at a loss for words, but after thinking it through, he understood.

Even for a Fourth Rank Alchemist, how many chances in a lifetime do they get to refine ’Nascent Condensing Pills?’

Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch, who has lived a thousand years, might at most encounter the opening of Linglang Blessed Land twice, and manage to refine a few furnaces at most.

A proper Fourth Rank Alchemist would guarantee the success rate of Nascent Condensing Pills by refining other Fourth Rank Elixirs and then drawing parallels from those experiences.

Although he had refined fewer other Fourth Rank Elixirs, the number of times he opened furnaces for Nascent Condensing Pills might be comparable to, or even surpass, those of the Fourth Rank Alchemists.

Furthermore, with the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron’s ability to enhance success rates, this outcome was achieved.

"Four Divine Infant Fruits resulting in two Top Grade and two Inferior Grade pills... In the hands of both the Righteous and Demonic sides, Alchemists would be beaten to death for them."

"But for me, it’s also quite alright."

Fang Xing carefully stored the fifth Divine Infant Fruit, with no intention of firing up the furnace again.

Since taking multiple Nascent Condensing Pills wouldn’t stack in effect, one was enough.

The remaining Divine Infant Fruit, whether exchanged or used in other Fourth or even Fifth Rank Dan recipes, was very valuable.

Fang Xing picked up one ’Nascent Condensing Pill.’

The Elixir was peculiar, appearing sky-blue in color, with a blurry infant shadow seemingly within.

The shadow in the Inferior Grade pill was very blurry, while it was clearer in the Top Grade ones.

Moreover, each pill was sealed in a milky, semi-transparent crystal.

This was a shell crafted from Ten-thousand-year-old Stone Milk combined with the essence of other Spiritual Medicines, capable of completely locking in the pill’s power without the slightest leakage.

Additionally, such sealed ’Nascent Condensing Pills’ could maintain their efficacy for at least five hundred years without weakening.

"I wonder how many good things these three remaining Nascent Condensing Pills can be exchanged for."

Fang Xing sealed all four Nascent Condensing Pills into the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron, his eyes revealing a hint of anticipation: "All the preparations are nearly complete, just waiting for my Perfect Core Formation...then I can attempt Nascent Soul Formation."

"Didn’t think that it would be my Cultivation Avatar to first truly enter the Eighth Realm!"

...

Years later.

On a peak outside Baihua Mountain.

"Did that Mu Wanlong... really die?"

The Supreme Elder of the White Crane Sect twirled his whitening eyebrows, staring at the Myriad Flower Illusion Array with a touch of helplessness.

Though he had planted some people in the Mu Family, after two great disasters, almost everyone was dead.

The few remaining misfits, in the current situation where the Mu Family was in seclusion, truly struggled to transmit any information.

One could say that after Mu Qingbai’s death, he was almost completely in the dark about the Mu Family’s affairs.

"Hehe... Old White Crane ghost, I heard your precious crane died at the hands of Mu Wanlong... no wonder you bear such resentment."

A big-headed ghoul in a black robe cackled several times: "It’s also no wonder you’ve joined forces with us... otherwise, after a hundred years, with your life-span, you might just die of old age before anything happens."

The expression of the White Crane Sect Supreme Elder darkened slightly.

Originally, the White Crane Sect’s main strategy was to rely on Qiankun Dao, annihilate the Mu Family, take over this rare Fourth Rank Spirit Vein, and then slowly develop and accumulate Nascent Soul resources.

But unexpectedly, that damned Mu Wanlong caused a deviation in the smooth plan.

If the stalemate continued, the old White Crane Daoist feared he would die before his adversaries!

Thus, he was forced into desperate measures and allied with the Demon Path!

"This time, your esteemed help is not needed... you just need to stick to the agreement, and sell that Fourth Rank Breaking Vein Pearl to me."

The White Crane Sect Supreme Elder heaved a sigh.

A Fourth Rank Breaking Vein Pearl was extremely rare even among Nascent Soul Sects, a real top-tier strategic resource.

Even with his granddaughter becoming the concubine of Five Elements child, the White Crane Sect had not acquired a channel to buy such spiritual treasures.

Even within Qiankun Dao, they might not have stock.

A single Fourth Rank Breaking Vein Pearl could shake a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein, and the Quasi Fourth Rank Myriad Flower Illusion Array would be heavily damaged!

At that time, the old White Crane Daoist believed he would be powerful enough to kill the barely-breathing Mu Wanlong.

He used to fear the other party would use the power of the Quasi Fourth Rank array to perish together with him.

If it weren’t for the protection of the grand array, a dying individual, even capable of using Forbidden Techniques, would not be a significant threat to Elder White Crane.

"Rest assured, since we want you, White Crane Sect, to be an inside supporter for the Righteous Path, we will naturally protect you... All arrangements have been made. The Fourth Rank Breaking Vein Pearl will appear at the ’Yiling Immortal City’ grand auction in half a year. The seller does not want Spirit Stones, specifying a few spirit objects instead..."

The man in the large black robe explained the details one by one.

Elder White Crane’s expression brightened slightly. With this arrangement, even if the Fourth Rank Breaking Vein Pearl was traced back to the Demon Path, and he acquired it through bidding, there wouldn’t be much of a problem.

’To destroy the Mu Family by bearing such a heavy cost, is it worth it?’

’But this old man... no longer has a hundred years of lifespan...’

Gazing at Baihua Mountain, Elder White Crane clenched his fists tightly and muttered to himself, "This vendetta... I, White Crane, must avenge!"

Had it been mere coveting of the Fourth Rank Spirit Vein when dealing with the Mu Family before, the vendetta turned undying after Mu Wanlong killed his lifebound Spiritual Crane.

That mutant Spiritual Crane had been Elder White Crane’s Lifebound Spirit Beast, accompanying him from the Qi Cultivation Stage, offering mutual protection, and surviving countless tribulations together.

The Spiritual Crane had blocked fatal Heavenly Tribulations for Elder White Crane no less than three times!

After Elder White Crane broke through to the Late Core Formation Stage, he had also spent considerable effort and paid a great price to cultivate the Spiritual Crane to a Top Grade Third Rank.

Their relationship was even closer than that of a daoist couple or a father to his own son.

And yet... it died at the hands of Mu Wanlong!

Elder White Crane would now seek the demise of the Mu Family, even if it meant forgoing the Spirit Vein of Baihua Mountain or colluding with the Demon Path, for this matter had almost become his Heart Demon.

Without personally slaying Mu Wanlong, he even felt that his magical power and cultivation could not advance.

"Heh heh... Once this array breaks, the Mu Family currently only has one dying Core Formation, two Fake Core True Monarchs... indeed, there’s no need for me to act, so..."

The man in the black robe with a large head wanted to say more, but his expression suddenly changed!

Elder White Crane was equally shocked, looking in the direction of Baihua Mountain.

They saw that the sky, which had been filled with flying flowers, had suddenly become stagnant and disrupted in its flow, revealing one Spirit Vein mound after another behind it.

Whoosh whoosh!

The wind howled as the spiritual energy within a hundred miles was stirred, emerging from the void, from the flora, and from great mountains and rivers, gathering and forming into colorful orbs of light, hovering near Baihua Mountain, resplendent and variegated, carrying with it an indescribable Spiritual Pressure!

Inside Baihua Mountain, many Qi Cultivators near the Fourth Rank cave mansion were trembling in fear, prostrating themselves on the ground.

Even Foundation Establishment Cultivators felt their internal mana becoming chaotic.

Even from afar, Elder White Crane and the man in the black robe with the large head felt an indescribable pressure.

"This..."

Elder White Crane, looking at this scene, became stupefied: "Impossible..."

"Spiritual Energy like clouds, spreading for a hundred miles... This is the Nascent Soul Formation Sky Phenomenon! There can be no mistake..."

The man in the black robe with the large head, staring with his triangular eyes, fixed his gaze on Elder White Crane: "Among the Mu Family members, could there actually be a Perfect Core Formation Cultivator who also has the chance for Nascent Soul Formation?"

"This... I had no idea," Elder White Crane admitted with a bitter taste in his mouth, even carrying a hint of blood.

With a slight wipe, a trace of blood appeared on his hand.

No matter what, Elder White Crane knew that with the emergence of this Nascent Soul Formation Sky Phenomenon, his previous planning was as good as a joke.

He looked at the sky phenomenon that stretched for a hundred miles, his face full of disbelief: "This is impossible..."

If the Mu Family had such a foundation, how could they have been pushed to such dire straits by the White Crane Sect?

Several Core Formation True Monarchs from the family head had even died in battle.

But the Nascent Soul Formation Sky Phenomenon could not possibly be fake.

An Immortal Golden Core phenomenon spans only about ten miles.

But for Nascent Soul Formation, the phenomenon starts by spanning a hundred miles!

This is the chasm between Core Formation and Nascent Soul!

"How... how can this be stopped?"

Elder White Crane’s expression turned incredibly ferocious in an instant.

"Difficult... with the current battle to clear the wilds underway, the ancestor of Qiankun Dao has already appeared at the ’Bibo Cave’ battlefield to confront that Fourth Rank ’Green Water Cold Flood Dragon’..."

The man in the black robe with the large head sighed: "Apart from that Nascent Soul True Monarch, other Nascent Soul Cultivators are too far away, and it’s unlikely any could just happen to be nearby..."

"However, the Nascent Soul Tribulations are numerous; even if one barely condenses a Nascent Soul, there are still the Heart Demon Tribulation and Heavenly Tribulation to face!"

He sneered, "Someone with insufficient foundation might fall during these tribulations, saving you and me the trouble of making a move."

"That won’t do!"

Elder White Crane’s eyes flashed fiercely: "If this person from the Mu Family succeeds, my White Crane Sect is doomed... I cannot take that risk."

With his body radiating a chilling white glow, he let out a piercing cry of the crane and charged towards Baihua Mountain!

At this moment, the Myriad Flower Illusion Array was becoming unstable due to the Nascent Soul Formation Sky Phenomenon competing for spiritual energy.

If there were a Core Formation Late Stage Great Cultivator, coupled with a Third Rank Prohibition-breaking Talisman and other Prohibition-breaking Treasures, it would certainly be possible to break into Baihua Mountain!

"Heh heh... He has finally made his move."

The man in the black robe with the large head stood with his hands behind his back, silently watching the scene unfold: "No matter what... it is still best not to have another Nascent Soul True Monarch emerge within the Righteous Path. After all... the Demon Path has already fallen far behind."

Of the previous Demonic Six Heroes, all but the carefree count have fallen.

While a few of the Righteous Five still live!

Even if the Demon Path urgently cultivates other Nascent Soul Seeds, the Immortal Golden Core is not something that can be so easily achieved!

One can imagine that in the future, the Demon Path’s Nascent Soul cultivators will inevitably be inferior to those of the Righteous Path.

If another Nascent Soul True Monarch emerges for the Righteous Path now, it would be even less favorable for the Demon Path!
