Today, the task of hunting down Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi is no longer as simple as it was at the beginning.
Originally, for Taihua Mountain and the demon clan, they were simply following their ancestral teachings and hunting down Luo Jianqing to eliminate demons. But for the Broken Soul Sect, the Bai family, and other forces, they wanted to seize the opportunity to eliminate dissidents and consolidate their own position.
However, over the years, countless powerful figures from both clans have perished at Luo Jianqing's hands. The Bai clan alone has lost over a hundred elite members, and even the next generation's heir to the patriarch has perished at Luo Jianqing's hands. The Bai clan's patriarch even issued a blood warrant, demanding the capture of Luo Jianqing, the extraction of his spirit, and the perpetual scorching of his flames for eternity.
Soon, the righteous people decided to send out 80% of the Mahayana monks to search from the outskirts of the Dream Demon Land.
Ancestor Gui Yan said, "All cultivators who can enter the Dream Demon Land are Mahayana cultivators who can control the power of their primordial spirits. Eleven years ago, Luo Jianqing was only a cultivator in the late stage of the Tribulation Crossing stage. Since he has been hiding in Rong Country for these eleven years, he definitely hasn't broken through to the Mahayana stage. Otherwise, he would have caused a strange phenomenon in heaven and earth and been discovered by us."
A demon lord from the demon clan nodded and said, "Yes, he probably isn't at the Mahayana stage yet."
Ancestor Ghost Flame continued, "If that's the case, then Luo Jianqing, with his Tribulation Crossing stage, definitely can't go deep into the Dream Demon Land. Even if he's gifted, if he goes deep into it, he'll inevitably encounter Dream Demons that last for hundreds or even thousands of years, which he won't be able to withstand."
After listening to these words, Hao Xingzi pondered for a long time and did not speak.
Yin Ji sat on a soft recliner, her eyes fixed on the old man with white hair and eyebrows. She smiled for a moment, then suddenly said, "Hao Xingzi, are you reluctant to go after your fellow apprentices?"
With just one sentence, everyone's attention was focused on Hao Xingzi.
Hao Xingzi's expression froze, and he immediately said, "Then let's follow the Mengsha River and search the edge of the Mengsha Land!"
The Dream Demon Land, considered the most dangerous of the four regions, was the first to encounter so many Mahayana cultivators. Countless Dream Demons gathered madly from all directions toward the edge. Luo Jianqing stood at the cave entrance, watching the purple mist drift westward. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "It looks like they've already arrived at the Dream Demon Land and are searching for us."
Xuan Lingzi had previously stated that each Dream Demon could only create one illusion between the centuries between its molts. If the illusion succeeded, the cultivator bewitched to death would become food for the Dream Demon, increasing its chances of surviving the next molt. If the illusion failed, only death awaited the Dream Demon.
For the Nightmare Demon, shedding its skin is almost a dead end.
This dreamland is filled with purple mist everywhere, but how many purple mists can survive a molting and truly become dream demons?
Compared to the failure of the illusion, molting is more brutal for them, so when a large amount of food finally landed on the Dream Land, they all rushed there frantically.
Even if there is a possibility of failure, you still have to fight for it. This is the cruel survival of the dream demon.
After all, the purple mist was ethereal, while the dream demons were conscious. Distinguishing the two was extremely difficult, but since the dream demons were actively heading west, Xuan Lingzi could easily distinguish them and capture more of them.
Mengsha is the top material for alchemy. Without Mengsha, it is simply wishful thinking to want to refine the ninth-grade divine elixir.
Xuan Lingzi tossed a dream demon into the alchemy furnace, channeling his spiritual energy into thin strands. He carefully used his spirit as fire to roast the single, round pill in the cauldron. He was extremely careful, as this was his third attempt.
When Xuan Lingzi was refining the elixir, Luo Jianqing was practicing beside him, occasionally taking a few sneak peeks.
On Mount Taihua, the most skilled alchemist was undoubtedly the world's number one alchemist, Venerable Yuqingzi. Second was the sect leader, Venerable Haoxingzi, and third was Xuanlingzi. This wasn't to say Xuanlingzi's alchemy talent was inferior to Yuqingzi and Haoxingzi's; it was simply that he had only been practicing for over four hundred years and hadn't focused solely on alchemy.
Over the past four hundred years, Xuan Lingzi had successfully refined an eighth-grade divine elixir. He had originally intended to give this elixir to Luo Jianqing, a magical tool for him to help him advance to the Nascent Soul stage. However, he had not participated in Luo Jianqing's advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, and later gave the elixir directly to Luo Jianqing, who had already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.
Sixty years ago, when Luo Jianqing went to the Demon Palace, he used this magic pill to deceive Venerable Yuqingzi, making her mistakenly believe that the fragrance emitted by Qingjun was the fragrance of this magic pill.
At the bottom of the Cliff of Broken Love, Luo Jianqing swallowed this magical pill, which allowed him to recover from his injuries very quickly and go looking for Xuan Lingzi.
From the first time Xuan Lingzi refined the elixir to now, he has refined tens of thousands of pills, but only one is an eighth-grade divine pill.
The seventh-grade elixir is the best in the world, and the eighth-grade and ninth-grade elixirs are even more unfathomable.
Xuan Lingzi was intensely focused on the small alchemy furnace. He had been sitting before it for a full hundred days, his forehead covered in sweat, and his white clothes were stained with dust. Luo Jianqing wanted to wipe the sweat off his face, but he knew better than to disturb him at this moment.
Seeing the captured Dream Demons being placed into the alchemy furnace one by one, but the eighth-grade divine elixir still showed no improvement, Luo Jianqing couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself: "Could it be that this elixir will never be successfully refined within a year?"
Within a year, Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi have to make multiple preparations.
When Luo Jianqing prepares to break through to the Mahayana stage, Xuan Lingzi will set up nine formations to shield him from the prying eyes of the Heavenly Dao. He will also refine a divine elixir of the eighth rank or higher for him in advance to aid him. Finally, Xuan Lingzi will personally protect him, increasing Luo Jianqing's chances of success.
