Chapter 114: Purgatory Road · Hostage

  "What do you want to do..." Zhao Rui knew that no matter how simple he was, the monks around him definitely did not have good intentions.

  Even the fat man standing beside him had an undisguised greedy look in his eyes, with a stupid and eager appearance.

  "Zhao Shidi... no, Big Brother, please give me a pill of Nirvana, wuuu..."

  Wang Yuan's chubby face squeezed out a few tears.

  "With this Creation Pill, I can make up for the inadequacies of my spiritual root and cultivate with a clear conscience from now on..."

  Wang Yuan grasped Zhao Rui's sleeve and begged bitterly.

  Zhang Heng also had some understanding of the Causal Body Pill, a spiritual pill that could make up for the deficiencies in one's spiritual roots from birth. For those with crippled or ordinary spiritual roots, it was an existence they yearned for day and night.

  In other words, this creation pill is just a boost to your innate talent.

  Everyone's innate talent for cultivating immortality is fixed from birth, but the Creation Furnace Pill can change this fate, and its effect is absolutely against heaven.

  However, this creation elixir has a very small effect on cultivators with good qualifications.

  Like Nan Ming Mu Xuan and others, they didn't have much expectation for this Cáo Huà Dān, a heaven-defying spiritual elixir.

  "Hand over Huaiyuan Dan!" Nanming's eyes shone with icy light as he stared at Zhao Rui behind him.

  Huajing Dan is also a legendary spiritual elixir, said to be able to help practitioners in the Jiedan period break through to the Yuanying period, greatly increasing the chances of successful Yuanying formation.

  In the Three Star Domain, the Nascent Soul stage was absolutely a top-notch existence. A casual visit from a Nascent Soul stage old monster could easily wipe out a small sect.

  The method of making Huayan Dan is widely spread, but to manufacture this spiritual elixir, a main material must be used, that is, a yuan infant.

  The so-called Infancy Dan is made by refining the Yuan Ying of a high-ranking cultivator, which can be seen from the strictness of the refining process. Moreover, when selecting the Yuan Ying, those with almost exhausted lifespan cannot be used. In addition to this, the refinement of the Infancy Dan also requires several auxiliary materials that are almost extinct in the cultivation world.

  Each and every Alkahest represents a fallen prenatal cultivator.

  For these talented cultivators of the Southern Wilderness, the chances of forming a Nascent Soul were still quite high, but it was not guaranteed to reach 100%. If they had this Nascent Soul Pill, then forming a Nascent Soul would be almost a sure thing.

  As for the last kind of solidifying elixir, it is a kind of elixir that lies between the foundation-building elixir and the transforming-infant elixir, which can greatly increase the chances of foundation-building cultivators forming their elixirs.

  Three kinds of spiritual pills: Creating and Transforming Pill, Consolidating Spirit Pill, and Transforming Infant Pill.

  These few elixirs almost cover all the needs of the cultivators present.

  Those with poor qualifications yearn for the Huahua Dan. Those with relatively good qualifications aspire to this solid spirit dan. Even those with exceptional qualifications will be moved by the Huaying Dan.

  It can be said that these three kinds of elixirs stirred up the greedy hearts of all the cultivators present.

  The only one who was not very moved was Zhang Heng, his cultivation of the Lian Tian Hua Di Gong, originally had no requirements for qualifications, and in the future he would not be taking the path of Condensing Dan or Forming Embryos.

  Even if these things fell into his hands, at most they would be a little more refined, and doing so would be a waste of heaven's gift.

  However, as soon as he heard about the Cihuada Dan, Zhang Heng suddenly thought of Guo Shi and his son from Dutiang Fortress. The abandoned Linggen disciple he had taken in should be in need of this thing, right?

  "If there's a chance later, I'll take action at the right moment." Zhang Heng made up his mind without changing his expression.

  Under the gaze of so many masters, Zhao Rui thought it was almost impossible to keep these three bottles of elixir.

  "No way! I got this first, it's mine...!" Zhao Rui unexpectedly stubbornly refused to hand over the three bottles of spiritual elixir.

  "Zhao Shidi, you'd better hand it over." Standing beside him, Luo Ningxue couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

  Zhao Rui's behavior was equivalent to opposing all the monks in the entire arena.

  "If you refuse to hand over the Huayuan Dan, we will attack together. Even if you can save your life, the beauty beside you may not survive."

  Nan Ming gave Luo Ning Xue a sideways glance with ill intentions.

  Zhao Rui gritted his teeth, looking very unwell, hesitated for a while before making up his mind: "The Huayin Dan and the Guling Dan can be given to you, but the Zaohua Dan I will keep in my hands."

  "Good! Our Bi Xue Xiang Yun Sect's disciples only need to refine the Infant Transformation Pill, you must have at least a few pills in that jade bottle of yours?"

  Nan Ming didn't dare to covet both Huayan Dan and Guling Dan at the same time.

  "No way! The Huayuan Dan should also be available in our Dutiange Fortress."

  He Yixiu finally spoke up beside Zhang Heng, her voice carrying a hint of determination.

  Nan Ming gave her a cold glance, his gaze lingering on Zhang Heng's face for a moment before suppressing a surge of anger and turning to Zhao Rui: "You open the jade bottle and see how many Huaiyuan Dan are inside."

  Zhao Rui didn't hesitate much and took out a golden box from his storage bag, then retrieved a purple jade bottle from inside.

  As soon as the bottle cap was opened, a burst of astonishing spiritual pressure emanated from it, making it difficult for the cultivators present to bear.

  "There are three." Zhao Rui first put the golden box into the storage bag, and only held two porcelain bottles in his hand, each containing Huaying Dan and Guling Dan.

  "That's settled then, Bi Xue and Xiang Yun will take two, while Du Tian will take one." Nan Ming made the decision in an instant.

  "Is it that the three factions of Fangyun Mountain don't even have the qualifications to possess a single...?" Li Hong's slightly low and melancholic voice clearly transmitted to the entire scene, a faint aura of slaughter emanating from his body.

  Fang Yunshan's three factions gained significant strength after entering the cave mansion and acquired three foundation-building cultivators.

  The aura on Li Hong and Zhao Rui can be felt by others.

  As for Wu Ling who had never spoken before, although his aura was very obscure, the cultivators present during the foundation-building period could still see his cultivation.

  "We agree, one for each." He Yixiu was in favor of this distribution method.

  Nan Ming was somewhat reluctant, and after exchanging spiritual consciousness with Mu Xuan for a while, he barely said:

  "Then let's have one each."

  "Then let this Taoist friend distribute it......" He Yixiu glanced at Zhao Rui.

  The three forces adjusted their positions on the Flame Bridge, during which several dark red flames drifted over from this side, but all passed by safely.

  Zhao Rui stood right in the middle of the three forces, exactly at the center of the triangular region.

  She took out a purple elixir about the size of a goose egg from her hand and gently threw it towards Bi Xue's direction in the Azure Snow Sect.

  Nan Ming's figure flashed, catching the Huayin Dan. He then returned to his original position, took out a jade bottle from his storage bag, poured out the medicinal pellets inside, and then placed the Huayin Dan inside.

  Zhao Rui threw the second Huaiyin Dan towards the camp of Dutiange, and He Yixiu's jade hand lightly raised, collecting this Huaiyin Dan as well.

  "Give me the last one." Li Hong said in a tone that brooked no argument, as if Zhao Rui was not even worth noticing.

  "I'm also a member of Fang Yunshan, this thing was taken by me, this one should be mine." Zhao Rui sent out two Huaiyin Dans in vain, even if he's stupid, he won't give the last one to someone else.

  "You won't give it?" The blood light in Li Hong's eyes gradually condensed.

  Zhao Rui said resolutely: "No! Even if I have to throw it into the river outside the bridge, I won't give you a single one."

  Zhang Heng's mouth corners were slightly raised with a faint smile, and Zhao Rui finally became clever for once.

  Whoosh! Li Hong's entire body surged with blood light, and in an instant, his body split into two.

  Two identical Li Hongs appeared in front of everyone.

  "What, an incarnation!?" The monks present were shocked.

  Isn't externalization of the body a great divine power that can be performed by cultivators in the Embryonic Breathing stage?

  Only one of them, Li Hong, suddenly pounced on Zhao Rui, shooting out several blood lights from his hand.

  Zhao Rui's palm lightly welcomed it, and a dazzling red airflow shot towards Li Hong.

  "Zi" Li Hong was instantly engulfed by a red airflow and disappeared without a trace.

  Is it gone?

  It wasn't an external incarnation after all! All the monks present suddenly understood.

  Generally, an external incarnation has at least a few percent of the original's power and won't disappear so easily.

  Li Hong's move might be a kind of Phantom Clone technique.

  "Not good!" Zhao Rui thought of Li Hong's true body only after killing this illusion.

  "Hahaha!"

  Only Li Hong himself was seen holding Luo Ningxue's snow-white jade neck with his hand, and a strange blood light enveloped Luo Ningxue in an instant.

  Luò Níng Xuě felt her delicate body trembling uncontrollably, and she couldn't even use her innate divine power.

  "Let go of Luo Shijie quickly..." Zhao Rui's eyes were about to spew out fire.

  "Hand over the last elixir of rebirth, and I will spare her life."

  Li Hong's mouth corners were raised with a playful smile.

  Zhang Heng had long known that Zhao Rui would still be at a disadvantage in the end. At this moment, he was a certain distance away from Li Hong and couldn't help him.
