Chapter 29: Ten Years of Breeding Medicine (with a map of the human world) When Xuyang saw the crack appear, he recalled the Red Flame Cone to resist the cold. He shook his head and tail, and twitched his tail frantically and continuously, hitting the Black Jade Pillar. Several blurry black shadows flashed by, and with a continuous sound of "bang bang bang", the Black Jade Pillar had already broken away from the root of the vein and flew out. Looking at this seamless thousand-year-old black jade pillar, there was a fingernail-sized piece of cold marrow in the center, which was estimated to contain only a few drops. However, Xuyang was still very happy. There was no need to take out the cold marrow for now, as the jade pillar itself was the best container for storing it. He cleared out a separate exquisite storage bag and put the entire black jade pillar, along with a large pile of other scattered black jades obtained earlier, in a separate place. With all the black jades put away, the cold air in the cave has been greatly reduced at this moment. An ordinary Jindan stage cultivator can hold on here for a while just by relying on the protective spiritual light. Looking at the bottomless thousand-year-old black ice at the root of the mineral vein, Xuyang did not take any further action as it would harm others and not benefit himself by cutting off the roots. Moreover, having already obtained so many materials such as Ten Thousand Year Black Jade and Ten Thousand Year Black Ice, Xuyang only took a small portion of a cube about ten feet in size and stopped there. As for the rest, let it recover slowly. I don’t know how many tens of thousands of years it will take for it to return to its original size. With a thought, he scanned the entire cave to make sure nothing was missed. Xuyang nodded, calmly left the cave, and emerged from the cold pond. So far, his trip to the Boundless Sea can be said to be a complete success. Not only did he achieve his goal, but the gains were also far beyond his expectations. Without any hesitation, he prepared to return to Tiannan.
This time, Xuyang plans to return to the place where he originally cultivated spiritual medicines, and cultivate some fire-type holy medicines such as the Fire Essence Dates, and begin to make final preparations for transcending the tribulation. Having said that, he already had the Water-Dividing Pearl, the Jade Wall and the Jade Turtle Shield he had just acquired. These three ancient defensive treasures could be used, but he still felt that they were not safe enough to help him overcome the tribulation. However, the better top-level ancient treasures are mostly in the hands of Nascent Soul cultivators. Taking the risk of swinging the sword at a stronger one, apart from the danger of being exposed, one also has to worry about the possibility of triggering a thunder catastrophe by transferring magic power at full strength. This is not feasible. Fortunately, he still had a clam shell from a baby carp beast, plus the silver sand he got from the exchange meeting, which was enough to refine another top-notch defensive magic weapon. However, although he had learned the weapon-refining skills from Liu Yi of Chaos Star Sea, Liu Yi had no idea how to refine the top-level defensive magic weapon at that time. In addition, a good cook cannot cook without rice. At that time, there was no rare material suitable for refining magic weapons except clam shells, so the clam shells had been lying in the storage bag gathering dust. In order to find out the refining method and rune array for clam shells, he has to rely on Qian Jinbao and the young men from Xuanjianmen to search secretly for him. It seems that Xuanjianmen and Haoran Pavilion, as large sects with a history of thousands of years, should not be short of this kind of inheritance. He changed his shape again, put on the invisibility cloak, and Xuyang rushed south along the way he came. When passing by the big city in the center of Xuepo Island, looking in the direction of the three Jindan cultivators, Xuyang hesitated for a moment, but still controlled his thoughts and did not choose to take action. The greatest opportunity and benefit of this trip has already been obtained, and it would be somewhat unwise to go deeper into the family's heartland. After all, it has been passed down for thousands of years and has inherited all the assets of the local tyrant Xu family. Although there are no old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage now, who knows whether there are any ancient strange formations secretly arranged in the base camp? After all, Xuyang has already witnessed the power of the Ice and Fire Polar Formation. Although Xuyang searched the soul of the Han family elder who was killed earlier, this man was not the leader of the family, so there must be secrets that he didn't know. "Hold on! I have the Heavenly Palm Bottle and the Jade Pendant, I will be able to cultivate into a true spirit sooner or later! I already have the Cold Marrow, I will never do anything risky like 'looking through the bushes with my face'!" After figuring it out, Xuyang withdrew his gaze and flew towards Tiannan without hesitation. On the way, he deliberately passed by Yunmeng Mountain in Xiguo to check out the place. Although he was very envious of the opportunities in Yunmeng Mountain, because there were more than ten Yuanying cultivators stationed in this holy mountain from three sects, Xuyang just observed from a distance for a moment, without alarming anyone, and continued to head south. Three months later, Xuyang, who was eager to return home, did not stop along the way and returned to Yueguo. When Xuyang returned to the crater of Xizhou in the northern part of Yue State again, he found that there was nothing wrong with the Dingling Plate he had set up before leaving, proving that the stronghold here was still safe for the time being, so he settled down again. After sending a sound transmission note to Qian Jinbao and the Xuanjian Sect's foundation-building cultivators to find the treasure-refining books, he replanted the thousand-year-old fire jujube trees that he had cultivated before, and also planted other fire-type elixirs in an orderly manner, five feet apart. He would go out at night to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon into the small bottle, and during the day he would polish his body in the spirit gathering array arranged with high-level spirit stones. Every eight days and nights, the green bottle will produce a drop of green liquid, and one drop represents a hundred years of cultivation. And this thousand-year-old fire jujube tree will bear fruit again after ten drops of green liquid, and a batch of thousand-year-old fire jujubes will be harvested every thousand years. Every nine thousand years, a mutation will occur and it will absorb spiritual energy madly. This batch of fire jujubes will give birth to one to three fire spirit jujubes like raising a Gu, and the cycle will repeat over and over again with ten thousand years as the reincarnation.
In this way, Xuyang resumed his boring farming career. Ten years later. In a medicinal field on a platform below the crater, in the center of countless spiritual herbs with amazing spiritual energy, a strange dragon man with a single horn on his head and a steel tail was sitting upright, holding a tattered animal skin book and shaking his head as he read it non-stop. It was Xuyang, who had been practicing the Bone Tempering Technique for four years. In recent years, due to the increasingly oppressive feeling of thunder tribulation, Xuyang did not dare to take any spiritual herbs for fear that he would not be able to suppress his magic power. Instead, he put all his energy into the practice of Bone Tempering Art. After thousands of high-level spirit stones were infused into his body and several kinds of body-refining spirit liquids were applied to his body, not long ago, he took a small sip of the top-grade spirit stone in his hand, and his physical body naturally broke through to the eighth level. Although he had not experienced the transformation catastrophe at this time, the qualitative change of the Bone Tempering Technique after its perfection had enabled him to normally transform into a seven-foot-tall humanoid figure. The only thing was the ferocious dragon head and limbs on his head, which was a bit unsightly, as was his mouth full of snow-white fangs and purple-black horn, which made people feel cold all over. At this moment, he could challenge high-level ancient treasures of mankind with his physical body alone. Ordinary early stage Nascent Souls were no match for him. This unexpected advancement of his physical body before the transformation thunder tribulation really made Xuyang overjoyed. If after obtaining the cold marrow, Xuyang already had a 30% to 40% chance of successfully passing the tribulation, then now it would at least increase to 20%. During these ten years, Xuyang summoned Qian Jinbao and Xuan Jian to build their foundation several times, and obtained many books on alchemy and refining. It is worth mentioning that Qian Jinbao has luckily formed a golden elixir thanks to the spiritual object that Xuyang had given him before. Xuan Jian Zhuji, who was also serving under his command, was so envious that his eyes turned red. He also started to work hard and asked his Jindan master for an ancient refining book, which contained methods of refining many ancient treasures and spiritual materials, which made Xuyang very satisfied. He also took out some Foundation Establishment Pills from his previous storage bag and gave them to him as rewards. After some encouragement, he let him go back and gather information. "That's right!
