They agreed to meet at a volcanic island today.
Searching for the main ingredient to refine the Elixir-Forming Powder.
They are: Ganoderma lucidum, snow ginseng, and soul-refining grass!
Among them, the ginseng that grows for ten thousand years is extremely rare!
This item is extremely precious even in the cultivation world of the Endless Sea. At a regular auction, it would cost at least several hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones!
A moment later.
Lu Xuan used his masterful wind-controlling technique, achieving an extremely fast flight speed.
It's over a hundred miles away, and you can get there in the time it takes to burn an incense stick.
After landing on this small volcanic island.
Lu Xuan discovered that there were already four pseudo-Core Formation stage cultivators waiting for him.
"Fellow Daoist Lu has arrived. My apologies for not recognizing you sooner."
"Am I late? Haha..." Lu Xuan chuckled, just joking. He knew that the others had known each other for longer than he had, so it was normal for them to arrive early to meet up.
There were three men and one woman in front of them.
One of them was a couple named...
"Qian Mazi, the Black-Hearted Taoist!"
They are a couple who have worked together to kill a cultivator in the early stages of Core Formation, so their strength should not be underestimated.
The two dwarf men in front of them were cultivators from the nearby righteous sect, [Hundred Poison Island]. Their sect only had one Grand Elder at the late Core Formation stage, making it just an ordinary small cultivation sect.
The two dwarfs were named Hu Hei and Hu Bai.
They were adopted by their master, the late-stage Core Formation cultivator from Hundred Poisons Island, when they were young.
Unfortunately, they were playful as children. They stole some of their master's pills and were transformed into three-foot-tall dwarfs.
Later, their sect was destroyed by a passing Nascent Soul expert, and they became rogue cultivators.
"Fellow Daoists Hu, Qian Mazi, and Black-Hearted Daoist, may we proceed to that island now?"
"Sure, but shouldn't we agree on how to allocate it first?"
"Why not just divide it equally?" said Hu Hei and Hu Bai, the two dwarfs.
Before Lu Xuan joined, didn't they all do this? Do I need to repeat myself? Don't you find it troublesome?
These two Daoist partners are usually stingy and like to scheme against others.
Qian Mazi lived up to his name; he was covered in pockmarks, making him look disgusting.
It is said that Qian Mazi was an orphan who used to be an ordinary person who ran a shady restaurant where he would poison the drinks to harm passing customers.
Later, he actually poisoned a cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining and found a cultivation technique.
However, without any guidance, Qian Mazi made a mistake in his cultivation, and his body grew pockmarks that caused him unbearable itching. Even after advancing to the Pseudo-Core stage, he was unable to relieve this pain. He could only alleviate his itching by covering his face with a black robe and soaking in a cesspool.
What a strange person, and what an extremely strange thing.
This is what Lu Xuan heard from Hu Hei and Hu Bai.
So, this Qian Mazi is a heretical cultivator! He's not a good person.
Lu Xuan decided that he would deal with this evil cultivator when the time came, ridding the cultivation world of a scourge!
As for the black-hearted Taoist priest next to him, he was also an evil cultivator with an extremely ugly appearance, and no one paid any attention to him.
Hu Hei and Hu Bai would not have cooperated with them if it weren't for the search for the spiritual medicine to refine the Core Formation Powder.
They did approve of Lu Xuan's character; he was generous, decisive, and magnanimous.
Hu Hei and Hu Bai, who had known Lu Xuan for a while, asked, "Fellow Daoist Lu, what do you think?"
“I naturally have no objection. I have only been here for three years. You should discuss the formation and process for dealing with this third-tier demon beast. I have just broken through to the Pseudo-Core Realm, so I will listen to your decision.”
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Hu Hei and Hu Bai's impression of Lu Xuan improved even more.
"Fellow Daoist Lu truly lives up to his reputation as a righteous cultivator. He is a great blessing to us righteous cultivators!" Hu Hei praised Lu Xuan.
"You flatter me, Fellow Daoist Hu Hei. I think Fellow Daoist Qian and Fellow Daoist Hei Xin are also good people."
“Yes, they are good people!” Hu Bai sneered from the side.
"The kind of thing that would do something underhanded to you," Hu Bai added.
"Fellow Daoist Hu, you've gone too far!" Qian Mazi said unhappily.
Lu Xuan stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Our priority should be dealing with that demonic beast and finding the elixir to refine the Core Formation Powder. You can resolve your own conflicts later."
Hu the Underworld:
“Fellow Daoist Lu is right. This remote sea area is hundreds of thousands of miles away from Moon Goddess Island. In such a desolate place, it is already quite remarkable that a few of us Pseudo-Core Realm cultivators have met and joined forces to fight against the demonic beasts. Let’s put aside our grudges for now!”
"Um."
“Okay, that’s what we both think too.” Qian Mazi and Heixin Daoren, the Daoist couple, nodded in agreement.
"Then let's talk about the formation we're going to set up on the island next, the Five Elements Heavenly Thunder Demon Extermination Formation!" Hu Hei has been at the Pseudo-Core stage for the longest time, thirty to fifty years, so Lu Xuan and the others had no objections to him being the leader this time.
Lu Xuan had heard of this formation before; it was a formation for those in the early stages of Core Formation.
With the combined efforts of the five of them, it is indeed possible to set it up and activate it.
Whether they can trap that third-tier demon beast depends on whether they hold back their efforts.
If no one wants to put in the effort and just sit back and reap the benefits, then the success rate of this demon-slaying operation will be reduced by a huge margin.
In the past, many cultivators in the cultivation world failed to exterminate demons because of this lack of unity.
Lu Xuan thought that Hu Hei and Hu Bai were honest enough and would definitely not slack off.
We need to pay special attention to Qian Mazi and Heixin Daoren.
They don't look like good people; they were originally evil cultivators.
"Let's go!" After saying that, Hu Hei first activated a top-grade flying magical artifact called a water gourd and headed towards Evil Dragon Island.
Almost all the independent cultivators in the nearby seas know that on Evil Dragon Island, which has the best spiritual energy, there is an Evil Dragon, a third-tier early-stage demonic beast that has lived for hundreds or thousands of years, equivalent to a Core Formation cultivator in humans.
It is said that there are several main ingredients for refining the Elixir-Forming Powder on Evil Dragon Island.
But it is protected by this evil dragon.
No one dared to approach that island.
It is said that once a cultivator or mortal approaches that island, the evil dragon will use its whirlwind technique to swallow them whole.
Even Foundation Establishment cultivators are no match for this third-tier evil dragon.
It is said that there was once an old, fake Core Formation cultivator who did not believe in this matter and boasted all by himself that he would kill this third-order evil dragon.
Before they even set foot on the island, they were reduced to ashes by a divine power unleashed by the evil dragon.
From then on, no one dared to provoke this third-tier demon beast.
Moreover, the sea area they were in was too remote, and there were no Core Formation cultivators there.
Because even Core Formation cultivators are unwilling to come to this desolate, godforsaken sea area, and there are no Tier 3 spirit islands for them to cultivate on.
After learning about these circumstances, Lu Xuan thought long and hard before deciding to join forces with them to kill the evil dragon and find the main ingredients for refining the Core Formation Powder!
Even if he couldn't find mature medicinal herbs, Lu Xuan could still obtain the seeds of the herbs he needed.
Take it back to your cave and place it in the treasure cauldron space inside your dantian to cultivate it into a mature spiritual herb that can take hundreds or even thousands of years to mature!
