The Eternal White Works Slowly Cultivating Immortality Slowly Cultivating Immortality Volume 1 Chapter 114: Dumped Again
After talking with the four demons, Xiao Yao put aside these messy things for the time being. She found Bai Tu and asked him about the method of extracting the demon spirit pill from the nameless fruit.
She asked Dan Fang with some confusion: "Why does Chong Rou ask this? Our sect is different from the other three sects. The elixirs issued by our sect are all refined and ready to use, so we don't need to refine them ourselves. If someone privately refines unknown fruits into elixirs, they can't escape the 'Tianyan' inspection and will be convicted of hoarding important materials within the sect, which is a crime punishable by the sect leader."
That "Tianyan" can actually distinguish this? Xiao Yao secretly scolded in her heart, that dead peacock really has a small mind, it seems that this unnamed fruit still cannot be refined by herself, and must let Xiaolü do it herself. So she smiled and said: "You can rest assured, I won't privately take the materials from the gang to refine them, I just have some interest in the refining method and want to learn it for fun."
"This thing is really strange, what's so fun about it." Bai Tu muttered to herself, but still told her: "Actually, the method of refining the unnamed fruit is very simple. As long as you have a pill furnace for alchemy, use fire to refine it for 49 hours and it will be done. There are no special requirements, and even beginners can succeed with a certain percentage. If you're afraid of wasting the unnamed fruit, there are merchants in the market who specialize in researching refining methods. I heard that by following their refining method, you can guarantee success with a 100% chance, as long as you spend two elixirs or two unnamed fruits to buy it. Actually, what's being refined is just a small matter, the key is that the unnamed fruit is hard to come by."
"I understand, thank you, Bai Tu Daoist friend." Xiao Yao nodded, that unknown fruit was indeed hard to find, at least she had never found one herself.
After passing by the hundred pictures, she spent two elixir pills in the market to buy a 100% successful alchemy formula as he said, and spent five more elixir pills to buy a tripod furnace. She put everything into a small storage bag for next time when she met Xiao Huan again. Next, she rented a cheapest house in the west district of Wuming City with a price of five elixir pills per year from a gang as a temporary cave mansion.
This house is not much better than the thatched hut where Si Yao lives, it's all worn out and dilapidated everywhere, the roof has only a few tiles, and most of it is made of straw, inside there is only one moldy wooden bed. However, Xiao Yao was still quite satisfied with this, she rented the house mainly to avoid being disturbed by others when practicing, after all, she uses Xian Jing to practice, the surrounding space will produce slight distortions, which would be troublesome to explain if seen, here the divine sense is not good for use, as long as there are four walls to isolate the outside view, she can set up a simple ban and finally practice in "God's Breath" to achieve perfection.
After settling down, Xiao Yao spent nearly two months cultivating in her new home. The four demons then sent over the third task's timing. This time, the task content was not much different from the previous two, still entering the inner island to search for the nameless fruit. The four demons similarly ditched her shortly after entering the inner island and acted on their own. The only difference was that this time, Xiao Yao had a small tail following behind her.
She had actually felt something was off from the moment they set out, and with her keen senses, she soon realized that there was a demon tailing them. At the time, she thought it was just Kong Yao's people following the four demons, so she wasn't too concerned. But when the four demons ditched her, the tail that had been lurking in the shadows didn't go after them, but instead followed her. It was then that she realized this was Kong Yao's person tailing her, and a surge of anger rose up inside her. However, to maintain the act of being clueless, she forced herself to look panicked and worried, searching around for any sign of the four demons while thinking of ways to shake off the tail without letting them suspect that she knew they were there.
After much thought, Xiaoyao finally realized that there was no good way to hide the fact that she had discovered the other person's existence and escape, as long as she shook off the other person, they would definitely become suspicious, except for silencing them. But if she personally silenced them, it might make Kong Yao suspicious, who knows if the other person had any recording devices on them, this silencing must be done through someone else's hands. But whose hands?
In an instant, Xiao Yao suddenly narrowed her eyes, a hint of a smile spreading across the corners of her lips. She then transmitted a message without hesitation: "Leopard, there's an expert here..."
Ten hours later, the leopard had a resentful face, with a small hawk following behind him like a little daughter-in-law, passing through a forest and finding Xiao Yao sitting cross-legged under a tree. He asked with disdain: "Was that guy just now the expert you mentioned?"
Xiao Yao blinked and smiled: "Not a master? If you don't use your immortal energy, can you kill him?"
She sat here, and the remaining aura from the previous battle was not difficult to detect. This demon cultivator's cultivation was at least in the formation stage, equivalent to the human cultivator's refining spirit stage. If it weren't for this place being able to use fairy energy, it wouldn't be something that she and the leopard could handle now.
The leopard listened and didn't think much of it, coldly snorting: "Why can't I use my divine energy? This is my true strength. It's rare that I'm not restricted by the rules of heaven and earth. Why should I still hold back my abilities to fight him?! If I die, isn't that just being weak?!"
Xiao Yao's smile didn't diminish in the slightest, and she didn't appear to be angry at all. She simply said, "Is that so? Next time I'll make sure to find an even stronger opponent for you."
"Remember! Don't call me for just any trash! At least make sure it's something you can't handle yourself!"
Watching him walk away in anger, Xiao Yao was thinking: This corpse is placed a bit far from the unnamed city, I don't know if Kong Yao will notice it or not. Should I move the corpse to a more conspicuous place?
In the end, she didn't move the corpse at all and thought to herself: anyway, as long as they have a mind to look for it, they will find it eventually even if it takes some time. This time, I don't plan on returning to that nameless city in the short term.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two years have passed. In these two years, Xiao Yao continued to venture and cultivate on the inner island, and once again accepted a trial by jade thunder, but this time she learned from her previous lesson, knowing that after being refined by jade thunder, people would lose consciousness for a period of time, so before the jade thunder fell, she found a mountain cave and set up a simple seal.
The jade thunder was ferocious and strange, no matter where the thunder fell, whether you hid in a cave or drilled into the water or earth, you couldn't escape the fate of being refined. Fortunately, the second time wasn't as severe as the first refinement, when she lost consciousness for so long. In less than two months, she regained her senses and woke up still in the original mountain cave, only to find that the seal had been shattered by the jade thunder, leaving nothing behind.
In less than two days, she was beaten to the point where not a single piece of her skin was intact and half of her buttocks were gone. The spotted leopard, who had been searching for her with its feathers all charred and blackened, found her and said with a gloomy face: "Xiao Yao, quickly switch bodies with me!"
Rebuilding a body isn't that difficult, the skin and bones of the saber-toothed leopard are still in the storage bracelet. The key is that they need to stay here for tens of thousands of years, and after each Jade Thunder, they need to recreate its body. The skin and bones in the storage bracelet might not be enough, she also wants to preserve the image of the saber-toothed leopard until ascension. Otherwise, when going out and running into acquaintances, especially people like Zidong, it would be hard to explain.
Xiao Yao said to it, "This needs to be struck by lightning over 10,000 times, and each time it's renewed, the beast bones aren't enough, how about I use the skin and bones of the inner island's empty beasts to supplement it for you?"
"Not good!" The leopard was furious, "What kind of compensation is that?! You said earlier that the skin and bones in the storage bag were enough for me to use until I reached the True Immortal Realm, so why isn't it enough now?!"
Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment, feeling that she was being somewhat unreasonable, but still insisted: "Uh, I didn't know I'd be staying here for so long at the time... If you're not willing, it's fine to keep things as they are. Anyway, I need to make plans for the future, and use my energy wisely."
The leopard was even more unwilling, it almost roared: "This is even worse! In a few more days, I'll have to grow scales again! And without a body, fighting is very troublesome!"
"Then you agree that I use empty beast skin and bone to help you repair, don't worry, I will try my best to make it look good."
Under Xiao Yao's repeated guarantees, the leopard finally relaxed its tone, letting her toss it around. Several days later, the leopard was reborn. It's unknown whether it was due to incompatible bones or not, but with the addition of empty beast skin and bone patches, its body looked quite unusual.
The whole body is covered with patches of fur of different colors and textures, the tail has grown scales like a snake's tail, one ear is still the original leopard ear, small and cute, while the other ear is folded down, covered with short black hair, it's clearly a pig's ear. To be honest, this thing just standing there is scary enough, let alone it's staring at you with its eyes wide open.
Xiao Yao suddenly felt a little guilty and looked down, muttering: "It's...it's not bad, you can just make do with it for now. And don't worry, it absolutely won't affect your martial arts."
"Xiao Yao, I'll never believe you again!"
After finishing speaking, he dragged the still unconscious Xiao Yun and ran away without looking back.
Watching the distant continuous loud noises, occasionally with the mournful howls of empty beasts, Xiao Yao's eyes twitched slightly, thinking: It can still fight, it seems there's no big problem, after a few days it will also accept.
She then looked up at the sky above her head and muttered: "It's also time for me to return to Nameless City once."
Two years later, Xiao Yao returned to the Nameless City again. As soon as she entered the city, a transmission talisman urged her to meet with the leader of the Piaomiao Palace. With such a rapid transmission speed, it's likely that Kong Yao had been eagerly awaiting her return for these two years!
This time, the meeting was unusually devoid of pretenses, so Xiao Yao could clearly see the thin anger and disgust on Kong Yao's bright face. He looked down from a high place, like a king overlooking the world, and didn't even bother to make small talk, directly saying: "What else do you have to say?!"
Xiao Yao thought for a moment and finally said with a hint of resignation: "I've let the master down again, and I was dumped once more."
