Chapter 223 What is the way? (1)
The joy and satisfaction of accomplishment struck Luo Xuanyi's heart, making her jump for joy almost for the first time, like a real girl.
Although the Moon Pattern Piece was modified based on Taoist Hua Shen's Sweeping Cloud Drink, it can be said to be the first pill recipe created by Luo Xuanyi herself, and it is her "own thing".
For her, who lacks a sense of security, the moon pattern piece is of great significance and gives her greater affirmation and confidence.
Holding the porcelain bottle tightly, Luo Xuanyi looked at the countless flying golden lights with her fiery gray eyes. Without too much time to celebrate, she immediately turned around and stepped up to work on the production of the moon pattern piece.
It only takes half a day to create a moon pattern piece from scratch, while it takes Luo Xuanyi ten days to comprehend the essence of a formation. This is a twenty-fold increase in efficiency. Therefore, even if more than ten days are wasted in the process of creating the moon pattern piece, the efficiency can be recovered with just two moon pattern pieces.
Numerous moon-patterned flakes continuously floated from Luo Xuanyi's hands, falling into the snow-white porcelain bottle like fine snow. Luo Xuanyi seized the moment, selflessly circulating the medicinal liquid within her body. As a large amount of the liquid was consumed, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth continued to flow in through her body's breathing, replenishing it.
The spiritual energy surged faster and faster, gradually becoming more and more powerful, swirling into a whirlwind. The rumbling sound in the Peach Blossom Land was endless, as if a violent storm was passing through, and there was faint thunder between heaven and earth.
The Heavenly Dao seemed to sense that the fragments of the formation had been captured and penetrated the space of the Peach Blossom Realm. Dark clouds gathered and condensed. For a moment, the sky clouds pressed down on the realm, and the peach trees bent on their own, as if suppressed to the extreme by invisible pressure.
However, the thunderclouds from the Heavenly Dao did not fall for a long time. The ten living souls that Luo Xuanyi had buried under the peach tree emitted a golden glow, and the shadows appeared to be human figures, as if they were still alive, confusing the Heavenly Dao.
As more and more moon pattern pieces were scattered, in order to replenish spiritual power, Taoyuan Realm began to extract multiple times the lifespan from the living souls. The living souls that were originally enough to consume 200 years began to age rapidly.
A large amount of lifespan was consumed by the alternation of sun and moon in the Peach Blossom Land. The first living soul that reached the limit of its lifespan let out a scream, and a faint blue flame burst out with a "chi", eliminating its human form and turning into light ash, sinking into the grass.
Then, the sun and the moon moved, and the second, the third... one by one, the living souls were exhausted and collapsed. The sound of thunder became louder, and the sky was like a black tornado that kept surging, extremely ferocious, and pale electric marks frequently appeared in the clouds.
Luo Xuanyi, however, remained calm. She had witnessed and even personally experienced the effects of heavenly thunder numerous times, and had gradually lost her fear of it. She knew this was not yet the limit of Heaven's patience, so she leisurely wandered on the edge of the cliff.
The golden light had originally seemed innumerable, vast and numerous. However, under Luo Xuanyi's relentless refinement, its number had drastically decreased. What had once been as dense as sunlight now resembled a scattered stream of fireflies.
If Luo Xuanyi followed Yi Fengyin's method and relied on her comprehension to gamble on how many fragments she could get, she didn't know how much she would lose.
The ninth living soul screamed and disintegrated, dispersing into tiny fragments of ash. A thunderbolt struck down, severing a peach tree in half. Peach blossoms danced in the lightning-blue light, and blazing flames erupted from the broken branches.
After all, Taoyuan Realm is just a time magic tool, which contains space rather than the world. Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao would not be able to capture Luo Xuanyi's behavior and would not be able to bring down heavenly punishment.
There wasn't enough time. The ninth living soul had passed away, and the tenth looked incredibly old. Although Luo Xuanyi could still bury more living souls to replenish the consumed ones, this also meant that the Dao essence of the formation was actively hinting at that dissipation.
He worked hard to refine the last two moon pattern pieces. Only about a hundred pieces of golden light were left, shining brightly, and finally dissipated in the Peach Blossom Land.
At the same time, the tenth living soul let out a roar, but was mistakenly struck by the thunder and scattered on the spot.
The dark clouds gradually dispersed, the invisible pressure quickly subsided, and the Peach Blossom Land was peaceful again.
Luo Xuanyi casually pulled out ten pieces of gold paper, which fell into her hand and turned into ten golden lights that were projected under the peach tree.
The burning peach tree was gradually stopped by the rules of the illusion, the flames went out, and only a gray-black scorch mark remained on the trunk. The originally pink cloud-like flower umbrella was completely burned, leaving only dry branches.
The sky cleared up, and the sunlight filtered through the branches, illuminating the fifteen porcelain vases placed at Luo Xuanyi's feet, giving off a faint, cold glow.
Luo Xuanyi spent a full year in the Peach Blossom Realm. To the outside world, it was only a little over an hour, yet it had consumed the remaining lifespans of ten living souls. Luo Xuanyi didn't know whether to say that the spiritual power of the shaved Moon Pattern pieces was greater, or that their lifespans were shorter.
However, after counting the moon-patterned pieces in the porcelain vase, Luo Xuanyi quickly felt relieved.
Each porcelain bottle contained twenty moon-patterned pieces. Fifteen porcelain bottles totaled three hundred pieces! A full three hundred pieces of array essence!
The Yifeng Hidden Array Cultivator who has comprehended the most fragments of the Array Dao so far should be Taoist Luo Xu, who is currently in seclusion and whose whereabouts are uncertain. She had reached the Spirit Transformation Realm a hundred years ago. More than two thousand years ago, it was recorded that she had comprehended a total of 122 fragments of the Array Dao. At that time, all the great Array Dao masters were shocked. She also successfully broke through all difficulties. After only two thousand years of cultivation, she reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, and is the youngest Spirit Transformation Realm master in the world.
Taoist Luo Xu hardly encountered any bottlenecks in her practice of formations, because she had comprehended a total of 122 pieces of formation essence, and her foundation was extremely strong, enough to support her in stepping into the path of truth.
Luo Xuanyi had captured a total of three hundred pieces of formation essence, sealed within the Moon Pattern Piece for an unlimited time, ready to be accessed and comprehended at any time. It was easy to imagine what a vast treasure this was.
Now Luo Xuanyi can finally calm down and digest these Taoist essences carefully.
She sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and took a Moon Pattern tablet.
Sister Yi: This is the importance of efficiency. Times have changed!
