Zhao Xi learned about this method on the very first day Lin Che returned.
A crack has formed on the demon core; the only way to eliminate it is to shatter all the existing crystals.
Not only for Meimei, but for all those demon cores that failed to condense, this is the only way to achieve perfect core formation.
This process is as painful as scraping the bone to remove a wound.
The cruelest part is that cultivation isn't something that can be completed in a day or two. This process might last a year or two, and if you were outside the Hundred Beast Garden and Zhao Xi wasn't willing to cook for you, it could take a hundred or two hundred years.
Who could withstand this?!
If you were to be wiped out by accident, it would be even worse than what you are now!
Moreover, the number of rare and precious natural treasures in the lower immortal realm is very small, and spiritual plants and herbs generally take a thousand years to bear fruit.
For Meimei, the only medicinal ingredient she could obtain recently was the shell of a large blue phoenix egg.
But this pill-fighting tournament is a trap!
Even the cunning Luo Haiqing felt it was dangerous, otherwise Xiao Jia wouldn't have needed to win over Hai Ye as an outsider.
This fool only cares about loyalty and doesn't even know his own limitations!
Does reaching the Core Formation stage make you extraordinary?
He was unaware that their master was the water god, yet he dared to act so recklessly.
Even with Lin Che in the team, it's still not a safe bet.
Lin Che came to the Immortal Realm to resist the Demon Clan, not simply to have a honeymoon with her!
When he made a tactical retreat from the Upper Immortal Realm, due to the different concentrations of spiritual energy in each realm, he could only destroy some of the spiritual treasures and stones, leaving most of the supplies in the Middle Immortal Realm.
Bird eggs are not difficult for him to obtain, but if Hoshino takes advantage of the situation, the Water God might be dried out by him.
At that time, not only will loved ones shed tears, but the entire Lower Immortal Realm will become a purgatory for immortals.
In short, Zhao Xi had been planning for several days after learning the news, but after the nightmare yesterday, she hesitated again.
"Headmistress! I'm not afraid of pain!"
The little kingfisher swooped down from the sky and transformed into human form in front of Zhao Xixiang.
The little girl's face was resolute. She wasn't wearing a veil, and there was an ugly, hideous scar on her little lips that stretched down to her nose.
Thinking of how she used to be, Zhao Xi felt a pang of heartache.
Her eyes were resolute: "Headmistress, I don't want to cause trouble for everyone, but my brothers are right. I want to fully form my core, and I want to continue my cultivation. I'm not afraid of growing into a half-human, half-bird, but I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you. Brother Shanshan is gone, Brother Xingye is gone too, and Master once said that my innate talent is very good..."
As she finished speaking, her high-pitched, thin voice gradually softened, turning into soft sobs.
Tears slid down her cheeks and gathered on her small chin.
Poor little guy...
Zhao Xi wanted to wipe her tears with her sleeve, so she squatted down, took her small hand, looked up at her, and asked gently, "Do you know what you're going to face? What will happen if you don't make it through?"
"Mmm!" Meimei pursed her lips and nodded vigorously, wiping away her tears with the back of her hand. "Headmistress, Brother Haiye said we don't necessarily have to steal bird eggs. We can wait until we get the eggs and buy them with spirit stones. They've found a huge spirit stone mine, and he said he'll buy it! I know it will be painful, but I can do it!"
Zhao Xi sighed.
"Principal, please say yes to Meimei!"
"Yes, Brother Xiaojia and I have both reached the Core Formation stage, so a little injury is nothing. We'll recover quickly and we'll definitely be able to get her the eggshell."
Xiao Jia and Xiao Ding spoke up for them from the side.
They hoped that all their companions in the Hundred Beasts Garden could perfectly form their Core Formation and cultivate together with them for a long, long time.
But those bird eggs are priceless; in the last hundred years, only a handful of bird eggs have been obtained from the Great Blue Phoenix.
If they really get it from the Battle of the Stones, Haiye will probably have to give up the entire spirit stone mine to get enough eggshells.
He just didn't tell the little kingfisher spirit about the price.
If safety can be guaranteed, it's actually worth participating in this ball-fighting competition.
Even if you can't steal the bird eggs, you can still knock off a piece of the shell and take it away secretly.
"Let me think about it some more, you guys go back first. Don't cry~" Zhao Xi thought for a moment but still didn't agree directly, and rubbed Mei Mei's head.
She looked at Xiaojia and beckoned to him, "Don't go, come here!"
Xiao Jia followed her and walked a few steps to the side.
"Headmistress, do you agree? Oh dear!"
Zhao Xi wanted to flick Xiao Jia's forehead hard: "You've formed your core, become a demon cultivator, so what? You want Hai Ye to help you steal bird eggs?"
Xiao Jia clutched his head, hissing in pain.
The thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was still just a kid and had no idea how terrifying the Great Blue Phoenix was.
He protested, "This was promised by Uncle Haiye!"
Zhao Xi snorted, "Even if he agrees, it won't work. Hai Ye is the patriarch of the Kangnan demon clan. What if he gets killed by the Great Azure Phoenix? Wu Tu Ba can't participate either. His demon core is cracked, and he has to stop to catch his breath while flying on his sword. How is he supposed to dodge?"
"Headmistress, this big bird isn't that dangerous," Xiao Jia muttered, rubbing his forehead. "Yesterday I went to Taicheng with the cultivators from the Five Spirits Hall and heard a lot of news about the Pill Competition."
Where is Taicheng?
"The largest city in the territory of the Wuji Sect! I heard that no sect has been able to steal bird eggs for so many years because the winning team in the battle for the eggs divided them up privately."
"Oh?"
That's exactly what she was thinking.
"This time it's the Wuji Sect's turn to host. To prevent anyone from taking the bird eggs, they will add an extra disciple to each team, making it a six-person team. All participating sects will have to go to their sect for trials."
No wonder he underestimated his opponent.
Zhao Xi wanted to rest her chin on her hand and think for a moment, but when she looked down and saw the boy's eager eyes, she asked, "Did you go to the city specifically to inquire about the tournament?"
