Just as Lu Xuan was exploring the ancient cave where he was forming his core.
The voices of a man and a woman could be heard outside.
"Junior Sister Zhao Ya'er, are you sure? Did you really discover the secret of this Core Formation Cave when you passed by here before?"
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Yao, it's fine. Last time I was chased here by a demonic beast, and I was lucky enough to discover the secret of this Core Formation Cave. There's a secret chamber down there, but I don't know how to open it?"
"Really? That's great! It looks like we're going to strike it rich! With the treasures from a Core Formation cultivator's cave, we can definitely step into the Foundation Establishment realm!"
"Senior Brother Yao, don't be too happy yet. We haven't found the secret room yet."
"Junior Sister Ya'er, you are a direct descendant of the Zhao family of Jiuli Island. I think you should have cultivated that treasure-hunting secret technique?"
"How do you know so much? Did you find out about the Zhao family's background beforehand? Senior Brother Yao, what are your true intentions?"
Upon hearing this, Senior Brother Yao immediately began to explain:
"Junior Sister Ya'er, don't overthink it. I'm a good person. We've known each other for seven or eight years. Would I ever harm you?"
"That's not necessarily true!" Lu Xuan sneered from inside the secret room.
What? Whose voice is that?
Could there be some hidden rogue cultivators on this deserted island?
But no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find Lu Xuan inside the secret room.
"What should we do, Senior Brother Yao? Should we still go look for the secret chamber of that Core Formation cultivator's cave? If we find it, there must be countless treasures inside, and we'll have hope of reaching Foundation Establishment. Senior Brother Yao, what are we, mere rogue cultivators, afraid of?"
“That’s right, Junior Sister Zhao Ya’er. We are both half-step Foundation Establishment cultivators. If we join forces, we can even fight against a Foundation Establishment early stage cultivator. We can definitely protect ourselves.”
"Besides, I also have a Heavenly Thunder Pearl!"
"The Heavenly Thunder Pearl?" Lu Xuan, inside the secret chamber, instantly heard their trump card.
In the Yunmeng Mountains, there are also Heavenly Thunder Primordial Essence Particles refined by Core Formation cultivators, whose power is comparable to a strike from a late Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Soon, the two monks discovered the mechanism to the secret chamber.
"Let's go in."
Lu Xuan would not let them in to take the treasure.
Besides, there are only a few jade slips inside.
Lu Xuan naturally wouldn't give it to them.
"Taiyi Flying Sword. Swift!"
Lu Xuan waved his five fingers.
Five powerful sword energies flew out instantly, killing Senior Brother Yao.
Only Zhao Ya'er, the junior sister, was left terrified, her face pale, and she hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy:
"Senior, please have mercy on us! No, please spare my life! I'm willing to serve you like a slave, to serve you tea and water, just please spare my life! Is that alright?"
"Why should I? Weren't you going to kill me, a mere rogue cultivator? Why are you kneeling down now? Where did your arrogance go? Are you two bastards of the cultivation world only good at bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"
After saying that, Lu Xuan unleashed a fire spell, which frightened Zhao Ya'er so much that she kowtowed repeatedly.
Lu Xuan withdrew his magic and angrily rebuked, "I might spare your life, but are you from Jiuli Island?"
"Yes, senior, my name is Zhao Ya'er, a cultivator from the Zhao family of Jiuli Island, at the late stage of Qi Refining. I hope that you will spare my life for the sake of our Zhao family. I am willing to compensate you with five thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
"Do you have that many spirit stones?" Lu Xuan simply didn't believe it.
Zhao Ya'er said:
“I do not have these spirit stones at the moment, but I can go back to the Zhao family and ask some elders for them.”
"Alright, let's do this then." Lu Xuan said calmly, and then cast a soul restriction spell.
An indestructible restriction was placed on Zhao Ya'er's primordial spirit within an ancient secret chamber.
From then on, no matter how far apart they were, Zhao Ya'er's thoughts, ideas, and even her life and death were all contained within Lu Xuan's single thought.
at this time.
Lu Xuan discovered Zhao Ya'er's current thoughts based on her soul:
"What a rogue cultivator! He actually made me kneel down! When I return to the Zhao family, I will definitely find our late-stage Foundation Establishment patriarch to teach this cultivator a lesson and kill him!"
"Hmm? How dare you!" Lu Xuan discovered Zhao Ya'er's true thoughts.
The restriction was activated instantly.
Zhao Ya'er instantly experienced immense pain in her primordial spirit and soul.
"Senior, spare my life!"
"Do you still dare to plot against me?"
"I wouldn't dare," Zhao Ya'er said very sincerely.
So Lu Xuan used his secret technique again.
This time, as expected, no murderous intent was detected from Zhao Ya'er.
"Go back to Jiuli Island and collect all kinds of high-level pills to cure Gu poison. Remember, time is of the essence. You must return here within a month and bring me the pills!"
"Yes, senior."
Knowing that her life and death were now under Lu Xuan's control, Zhao Ya'er dared not harbor any more evil intentions.
"Please, senior, give me some spirit stones. I'm really poor! I don't have a single spirit stone. I've already given the few dozen spirit stones I have to this Senior Brother Yao."
"Open his storage bag," Lu Xuan gestured.
"Yes, senior."
Upon hearing Lu Xuan's words, Zhao Ya'er quickly opened Senior Brother Yao's storage bag.
There were indeed many spirit stones inside.
There must be at least a thousand.
"A thousand is enough, go! This storage bag of Senior Brother Yao is your reward. If I kill Senior Brother Yao, will you hate me?"
Lu Xuan probed the other party's true thoughts.
"You rogue cultivator! You killed Senior Brother Yao, who was a true disciple of the sect leader of the Nine Li Sect, who was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. You're probably not far from your demise!"
"How dare you!"
Lu Xuan activated the restriction.
This time, Zhao Ya'er was once again restricted to unleash countless forces of water and fire, giving her primordial spirit a lesson.
Zhao Ya'er dared not scold Lu Xuan anymore, and could only follow Lu Xuan's instructions to go to Jiuli Island to find the antidote.
Get rid of this self-righteous Zhao Ya'er.
Lu Xuan set up a simple secluded cultivation room near his cave to begin recovering his cultivation and magical power.
He wasn't afraid of Zhao Ya'er going back on her word at all, because he had her thoughts under control every moment. If she made any small move, Lu Xuan could activate the restriction and kill her instantly, no matter how far away she was!
