As expected, after Zhao Ya'er learned of her situation, she diligently searched for various rare pills for Lu Xuan in the Jiuli Market.
After Lu Xuan learned about Zhao Ya'er's every move through the primordial spirit restriction,
Gradually, I felt relieved.
"Zhao Ya'er is quite sensible. It seems that the task of finding the antidote can be entrusted to her. I just don't know if she will bring it back when she finds it."
Lu Xuan's concerns were not without merit.
Zhao Ya'er comes from a family that enjoys scheming against others.
If it weren't for Lu Xuan's superior skills...
Maybe I was tricked by Zhao Ya'er, who was at the peak of Qi Refining, before.
...
Another month passed after Lu Xuan established his cave dwelling on the deserted island.
That day, Lu Xuan was meditating in his cave when he suddenly stopped circulating his magic power. His face lit up with joy: "My cultivation level has truly recovered. I've returned to the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage. This feeling is wonderful, and I feel very safe!"
Lu Xuan was also very happy and kept muttering to himself.
If it weren't for a problem with the teleportation array...
Lu Xuan will not be injured either.
Now, with his strength, he is fully capable of dealing with a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator; this is Lu Xuan's confidence.
Confidence stems from ability.
Lu Xuan emerged from seclusion, using the spiritual herbs in the treasure cauldron space within his dantian.
Lu Xuan successfully refined nine Golden Dragon Pills.
I will go into seclusion for another day of cultivation.
"A breakthrough has been achieved!"
"Mid-stage Foundation Establishment!"
Even if he were to face a fake Core Formation cultivator, Lu Xuan would be confident of victory.
The Golden Dragon Pill is incredibly powerful.
Unfortunately, there were only nine, and Lu Xuan ate them all.
They also wanted to find some demon beast cores to refine the Golden Dragon Pill.
It's too difficult.
After emerging from seclusion, Lu Xuan's consciousness went directly into the spiritual medicine space.
They discovered that countless second-tier spiritual herbs, which are Foundation Establishment stage spiritual herbs, had already matured inside, and they were all high-level spiritual herbs.
"I'm rich!"
Lu Xuan jumped for joy.
Just like a little child, because of these spiritual medicines, he was confident that he could break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage.
At that very moment.
Lu Xuan's consciousness returned.
"Heh, trouble is brewing."
For a moment, Lu Xuan was so focused on breaking through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage that he didn't notice Zhao Ya'er had gone to deliver a message to their family head, who was also in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
So, this mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator brought Zhao Ya'er to cause trouble for Lu Xuan.
"Mid-stage Foundation Establishment!"
Upon seeing that Lu Xuan was also at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, the other party also showed some signs of backing down.
"Zhao Ya'er, where are the pills?" Lu Xuan asked Zhao Ya'er.
The other party, however, said smugly:
"Your time to fall has come. I've brought our Zhao family patriarch with me. I'm afraid you won't be able to leave now."
"Why should I leave? What a joke! Taiyi Sword! Draw it!"
The Taiyi Sword instantly unleashed a massive sword aura.
However, this Zhao family patriarch actually possessed a low-grade defensive magical artifact, which powerfully withstood Lu Xuan's flying sword attack.
"The head of the Zhao family? You are the head of the Zhao family, one of the nine great families of Jiuli Island? Zhao Sankong? Mid-Foundation Establishment realm, you fought a late-Foundation Establishment demon beast all by yourself back then? And you still managed to escape? Your strength is indeed remarkable!"
Lu Xuan had inquired about the situation of the nine major families on Jiuli Island.
Besides the most powerful Jiuli Sect, there are nine major families on Jiuli Island.
These families all have a late-stage Foundation Establishment ancestor with considerable cultivation and powerful spiritual artifacts. Ordinary mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators are no match for them.
However, he encountered Lu Xuan, who had already broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
"Devouring Demon Insect!"
Lu Xuan opened the huge black gourd at his waist, and a dark swarm of Devouring Demon Insects instantly flew out. Each one was huge, with its claws bared and its body several feet in size.
This scene startled Zhao Sankong, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator on the other side.
"These are insects? Could they be one of the legendary Ten Demonic Insects?"
"You do have some discernment; this is indeed my Devouring Demon Worm! Are you going to back down again? I won't allow that!"
Zhao Sankong's attitude softened at this moment, and he spoke to Lu Xuan very politely:
"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. To be honest, one of our family's ancient cave dwellings requires a Devouring Demon Worm to open the seal and retrieve the ancient spiritual artifact, the Nine Heavens Spirit Lamp. This treasure can slay great demons and exorcise evil spirits; its power is simply boundless. It is the strongest spiritual artifact in our Nine Li Sea Region. With this treasure, one can even deal with early-stage Core Formation cultivators!"
"Nine Heavens Spirit Lamp? An ancient top-grade spiritual artifact? Comparable to a magic weapon? Really? Then what benefit would I get from helping you break the seal?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Sankong kept making promises to Lu Xuan:
"Rest assured, fellow Daoist, once this is accomplished, I am willing to offer you the position of the Grand Elder of our family. In addition, I can also betroth Zhao Xuan'er, a female cultivator from our Zhao family with the Heavenly Spiritual Root aptitude, to you!"
"I don't want any female cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots. What I want are spirit stones, pills, and preferably antidote pills! Do you have any?"
"Yes, all the antidotes inside will be yours. Is that alright?"
"Fine, if you dare to go back on your word or plot against me, I'll make you regret it. You've all seen the power of my Devouring Demon Worm!"
"Fellow Daoist, what are you saying? How could we dare to deceive you?"
After saying that, Zhao Sankong slapped Zhao Ya'er, who was standing next to him, and said:
"You little woman, how dare you betray this fellow Daoist and almost kill me! From now on, you are expelled from the Zhao family. Get out!"
Zhao Ya'er turned pale with fright upon hearing the family head's words:
“Patriarch, you are also a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, why are you afraid of him? Can’t you use your spiritual weapon to kill him? Then his storage bag and spiritual weapon will be yours.”
"You Zhao Ya'er, you're talking nonsense! I'll let you off this time for the sake of your collateral relatives, but now get out of here!"
After saying that, Zhao Sanceng waved his sleeve, and a burst of spiritual energy shot out, driving away the stubborn Zhao Ya'er.
"Wait, did I say she was allowed to leave? She's lied time and time again. Today I'll make her reap what she sows!" Lu Xuan said, activating the primordial spirit restriction.
Zhao Ya'er's primordial spirit vanished instantly, her body and soul perished, finally paying the ultimate price for her evil deeds, which is why Zhao Sankong had nothing to say.
