On the other side.
After verifying that taking medicine could also increase experience points, Li Daoxuan immediately began refining spirit-replenishing pills for himself.
The Spirit Replenishing Pill is a mid-level second-tier pill, its function is to provide cultivation to Foundation Establishment experts.
However, each cultivator should only consume five pills, as the effects will be greatly reduced with more.
Soon, a batch of fresh pills was produced.
The pills emitted a rich medicinal fragrance, and even just smelling them could make one feel that their cultivation had improved somewhat.
"Not bad, they are all top-grade."
Li Daoxuan nodded in satisfaction. Every medicine has some degree of toxicity, but absorbing top-grade pills allows for complete absorption without leaving any residual toxicity.
He swallowed a Spirit-Replenishing Pill and began refining it.
After a long while, I opened the system panel to check.
[Cultivation Level: Mid-Foundation Establishment (440,000/2,000,000)] → [Cultivation Level: Mid-Foundation Establishment (740,000/2,000,000)]
"One Spirit Replenishing Pill is worth 300,000 experience points!"
Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up. What was there to hesitate about? Let's eat!
Soon the other four were absorbed, and the experience points reached 1.94 million.
I'm just 60,000 short of advancing to the late Foundation Establishment stage.
After thinking for a moment, he swallowed another Spirit-Replenishing Pill, and the effect was indeed as described, with his experience points decreasing sharply.
This one only added 10,000 experience points.
I'm not going to believe it, I'll take another one.
This time, only one thousand was added.
It seems we'll have to wait another month to break through.
He stood up, stretched his limbs, and continued refining another batch of Spirit-Replenishing Pills.
This batch is for Lu Xueqi.
Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this year, Li Daoxuan earned another 3.6 million low-grade spirit stones.
The beauty pills weren't selling as well as they had at the beginning, so this year he started selling other pills to supplement his income.
I thought my comfortable life would continue like this.
"Buzz!"
Outside the Eastern Capital, a crimson array rose up.
All the cultivators in the city stared in disbelief at what was happening.
The next instant, a figure stepped through the air and arrived in the sky, his aura as a Nascent Soul cultivator bursting forth.
The old man, with his white hair and youthful face, narrowed his eyes as he saw the rising array.
"Crimson Sacrifice Array!"
"Hehehe, Old Demon Bai, I'll lend you a city's worth of cultivators to help me advance my cultivation level."
A sinister laugh rang in his ears.
"You want to refine the Nascent Soul Pill by sacrificing a million cultivators!"
Old Demon Bai's face was grim.
"No, no, no, I don't know how to refine pills, but you guessed right. I'm using blood sacrifice to condense a human pill. Whether it's a Nascent Soul Pill or a Blood Infant Pill, it doesn't matter as long as it helps me advance my cultivation."
Enraged, the White Demon Lord launched a barrage of attacks at the aerial array.
Each strike carried the immense power of heaven and earth, yet it was still ineffective against the great formation, only managing to open a small opening that would soon heal.
"I obtained this great formation by chance in an ancient secret realm. Although it is an incomplete version, it can still trap a city's cultivators. Old Demon Bai, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. If you leave alone, I naturally cannot stop you."
But if you want to protect them, that's wishful thinking. If you're still here after the great formation is fully formed, you'll stay and become part of the human core! Hehehe!"
Old Demon Bai remained silent for a moment, then sighed.
He looked down at the millions of cultivators with a complicated expression.
At this moment, they looked at him with hopeful eyes, after all, in their eyes, he was a Nascent Soul cultivator who could save them from their predicament.
However, they might be disappointed, as the original purpose of building the city was to facilitate the acquisition of resources for cultivation.
Everyone looks out for themselves; otherwise, they'll be condemned by heaven and earth.
Before the formation is fully formed, open a gap and escape at top speed.
As for finding the demonic cultivator hiding in the shadows and having a great battle with him?
Putting aside the question of whether he can win, what benefit does he gain from doing this?
If you lose, you'll be doomed; if you win, your opponent will drag you down with them, leaving you severely injured and on the verge of death.
Therefore, it's not worth the loss, so let's part ways amicably.
"Hmph, you're smart to know your place."
......
"how so..."
Everyone was dumbfounded as they watched the city lord flee.
However, many cultivators would not sit idly by and wait for their doom. Before the formation was fully activated, countless Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators launched a fierce attack on it.
However, their attacks entered the formation like raindrops falling into the ocean, failing to create even a ripple.
Undeterred, they rushed toward the formation, attempting to escape through it.
Unfortunately, it turned into a pool of blood and was absorbed by the formation the moment it touched the edge of the array.
On the other side.
Lu Xueqi grabbed Li Daoxuan's sleeve worriedly.
"My lord, are we going to die...?"
This is a crisis that even Nascent Soul cultivators cannot handle, let alone Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Li Daoxuan never expected such a strange thing to happen. Why was he being targeted everywhere he went?
There is only one way to break this deadlock: the art of formations.
Glancing at the formation's level, in one year and seven months, it had already reached the fourth level of perfection (330,000/800,000).
"Stay close to me."
Li Daoxuan pulled Lu Xueqi along and sped towards the weakest point in the formation.
He originally wanted to take the Liu family patriarch and his entourage with him, but time was running out. Once the great formation was activated, those below the Foundation Establishment stage would be instantly refined by it.
A few moments later, even those at the Foundation Establishment stage would not escape the same fate.
Sure enough, as soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, he saw the Liu family members instantly turn into a pool of blood and be absorbed by the great formation.
Lu Xueqi's pupils contracted as she watched Liu Ling running towards her from a distance.
Under her gaze, the other party vanished without a trace in just a moment.
Immediately afterwards, she was also pressed down by an invisible force, making it hard for her to breathe.
The feeling of sadness was replaced by the crisis of death before it could even begin to develop.
Li Daoxuan was also feeling unwell and quickly summoned the Thousand-Mechanism Umbrella, a magical artifact, to share the burden.
Various defensive talismans were thrown out again.
Within the formation, the space was locked, making it impossible to use the 100,000 teleportation talismans.
Mirror Flow!
He quickly used a high-grade Xuan-level escape technique to flee.
No, that's too slow!
Such speed would be crushed by the continuously increasing power before even reaching the edge of the formation.
The Thousand-Machine Umbrella Transforms!
Fu Bao transformed into a speed-type flying vehicle, carrying the two of them away at high speed.
Without the protection of the talisman, the two were under great pressure, but they had no other choice.
A moment later, the two arrived at the edge of the Eastern Capital, where a large number of cultivators were frantically attacking the formation, attempting to escape this land of death.
Li Daoxuan used his divine sense to search for weaknesses in the formation, and he could tell that the formation was incomplete.
Therefore, it has many weaknesses. It is only necessary to break one of them with a formation to temporarily open a passage.
He pulled Lu Xueqi forward, and several array flags were unleashed to form a miniature array-breaking formation.
"Buzz!"
A small passageway opened, just wide enough for one person to pass through.
Li Daoxuan quickly led Lu Xueqi out.
"There's an exit!"
The crowd went mad when they realized this; the hope of survival was right before their eyes.
One after another, they followed in Li Daoxuan's footsteps.
The moment he stepped outside, he felt himself being locked onto by a divine thought.
This is normal, after all, there are Nascent Soul cultivators guarding the outside, which is why he let the others come out together.
The cultivators who filed out were quickly locked onto by a divine sense.
Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief; the sharing of his divine sense made him feel better.
"A few ants actually ran out! They'd all die!"
A murderous intent suddenly arose.
Li Daoxuan had already used 100,000 Leap Talismans when he came out.
Just before the attack landed, the two instantly vanished into the void.
Other cultivators were not so lucky; they were crushed to death by the divine sense of a Nascent Soul cultivator the moment they were reborn.
