Chapter 389: Chapter 385: Preparations Before Forming the Nascent Soul (First Update, Please Subscribe)
In the Cave Mansion, Lu Xuanji sat cross-legged on the bed, reflecting on that battle.
Long Aotian, offspring of an Immortal, possessing the Candle Dragon bloodline, was the prodigy among prodigies.
It seemed like an easy victory, but in truth, it required the use of most of his trump cards.
Through this battle, it was possible to gauge the level and combat power of those top prodigies.
"Long Aotian’s advantage lies in his strong bloodline, abundant magical power, top-level divine techniques, and fierce killing moves. In battle, he often crushes the enemy with overwhelming force; three punches, two kicks, and the enemy is defeated. This is his advantage. As for weaknesses, his three punches and two kicks have never encountered difficult battles, making his combat experience obviously insufficient. In terms of timing in battle and the linkage of killing moves, he has obvious gaps!"
Lu Xuanji pondered.
In ordinary times, Long Aotian relies on his bloodline advantage, abundant magical power, top-level divine techniques, etc., and doesn’t need combat techniques or experience to push through his enemies.
This is a huge advantage.
But encountering some top talents, it is easy to fall into tough battles where the lack of combat experience becomes magnified.
...
After a month of enlightenment, Jin Xi went into seclusion again in Lu Xuanji’s perception.
Seemingly spurred by Long Aotian, Jin Xi was also agitated, hurrying to cultivate and improve cultivation levels.
The world experiences birth and demise, and all things have their spring and autumn.
The world has times of prosperity when Spiritual Qi is rich, laws are active, prodigies appear in large numbers, and strong ones are like clouds; the world also has times of decline when Spiritual Qi is scarce, laws are stagnant, fewer prodigies, and fewer strong ones.
The former is called the Golden Age.
The latter is known as the End of Dharma Era.
During the End of Dharma Era, the cultivation environment is poor, resources are scarce, and under stagnant laws, the difficulty and cost of cultivation increase, leading many cultivators to spend their lives achieving only the Golden Core or Nascent Soul.
But in the Golden Age, with the revival of Spiritual Qi, active laws, and increased resources generated by the world, geniuses appear one after another like bamboo shoots after rain, truly a marketplace for geniuses, with strong ones walking everywhere.
In past years, the entire world had a poor cultivation environment, and it was the End of Dharma Era. The strongest were only those at the Peak of Nascent Soul; Central State, known as a gathering place for geniuses, had only Divinity Transformation as the strongest level.
But in the last hundred years, Spiritual Qi has shown signs of revival, with an increase in the number of spirit medicines and spirit grasses and an increase in the number of geniuses.
Not to mention other places, just in the Lu Family, geniuses like Ye Feixue and Lu Xian with Celestial Spirit Roots have appeared; regarding Dao Body Level geniuses, their number is quite significant.
This is just one Lu Family; in other areas and places unknown to people, the number of born geniuses is even greater.
Especially, the emergence of Long Aotian, the offspring of an Immortal who has been sealed for a long time, further confirms a new era is about to arrive.
The Golden Age is about to arrive, which is an unparalleled opportunity.
However, at the same time, numerous prodigies gather together, making the competition exceptionally fierce, various battles, and frictions will intensify, and both sides will enter an era of bloody battles and fierce struggles.
The scale of combat will continue to increase.
This makes Jin Xi feel an increasing sense of urgency, fearing that if he can’t quickly improve his cultivation, he might become a secondary character, a sidekick, or even a cannon fodder.
In such an urgent atmosphere, Jin Xi hurried into seclusion, with no time for intimacy or to enjoy romantic pleasures under the moonlit flowers.
Not just him, Ye Wanyi, Ning Xue, and others are also in seclusion, seemingly spurred by certain individuals.
Only Long Xuan remains outside, handling some miscellaneous tasks.
...
In the grand hall, Long Xuan was flipping through the ledger, which recorded the income, expenses, and other financial details of Purple Sun Mountain over the years.
When Lu Xuanji entered, Long Xuan seemed to notice someone coming in.
Just by looking at this man, her face blushed uncontrollably.
Recalling the intimate times of the past, thinking of those shameful scenes, her face felt like it was on fire.
"Greetings, Master!"
Long Xuan said.
Just the next moment, Long Xuan felt her body soar as if she were a bird.
The next moment, she landed on someone’s body, the two tightly pressed together.
Then came a wet, sweet sensation, as if tasting honey.
Long Xuan instinctively closed her eyes, seemingly believing that only by covering her ears could she disguise her inner embarrassment and shyness.
Subsequently, the clothes on her body diminished; trying to stop something, she felt utterly powerless.
When everything vanished, they entered a state of intimacy.
The joyful days were brief yet warm.
After much pleasure, the two returned to a more proper demeanor.
"Master, do you need anything?" Long Xuan asked, her face full of blush.
"Is there a Nascent Soul Pill here?" Lu Xuanji asked.
Long Xuan replied, "Master, with such extraordinary talent, do you still need a Nascent Soul Pill?"
Relying on external force to condense the Nascent Soul is not as good as condensing it on one’s own.
This master, with talent exceedingly high, having condensed a Tenth Transformation Golden Core, should find it uncomplicated to condense the Nascent Soul on one’s own. Why need the Nascent Soul Pill?
Lu Xuanji said, "You don’t understand, as the saying goes, extremes meet. Poor aptitude requires external force; too good an aptitude also needs external assistance. My Tenth Transformation Golden Core is of such high grade that breaking it open to transform into a Nascent Soul doubles in difficulty!"
"Various external aids are needed to enhance the grade of forming the Nascent Soul. Not only is a Nascent Soul Pill needed, but also a Nascent Soul Pill and a Creation Pill! The more of these elixirs, the better; one or two won’t do, many are needed!"
Long Xuan said, "Master, I understand, follow me!"
"Alright!"
Lu Xuanji nodded.
Thus, the two went to the secret treasury.
The secret treasury stores some rare spirit medicines and elixirs.
They opened the secret treasury and entered it.
Long Xuan took out a medicine spoon and began to retrieve some boxes, retrieving twelve boxes continuously.
Finally, they closed the secret treasury.
Opening the boxes revealed some Fifth Grade spirit medicines, including Nascent Soul Grass, Creation Grass, Vitality Grass, Wood Flower, and others, all of which are rare spirit medicines.
The grade of these spirit medicines is high, requiring a growth cycle of ten thousand years to become useful for medicine.
"Thank you!"
Lu Xuanji said.
"In here, some core materials are still missing. The Nascent Soul Pill still lacks Dragon Scale Fruit, Celestial Spirit Fruit; for the Nascent Soul Pill, Nine Bends Spirit Grass, Celestial Cyan Grass, Silver Marrow Grass, Sun Ganoderma are missing; as for the Creation Pill, Supplement Heaven Ganoderma, Bodhi Flower, Blood Pattern Grass, Ice Spirit Flower, etc., are lacking!"
Lu Xuanji checked his inventory within the Grotto World Pearl and said, "I still have some stock, able to complete some elixirs. The spirit medicines currently lacking are mainly Dragon Scale Country, Nine Bends Spirit Grass, Sun Ganoderma, and Bodhi Flower, among others."
Long Xuan said, "If Master lacks goods, you can go to Chu Capital to purchase them. The goods there are complete, with a wide variety, and many things can be bought."
