Chapter 421: Chapter 419: Love Regret (Seeking Subscription)_1

"Oh?!"

Fang Xi opened the box with a thoughtful look and saw a much smaller piece of ’Void Crystal.’ A smile flashed across his face, "Exchanged!"

After the old woman left, another dark figure stepped forward, "This lord has a fourth-tier pill recipe and wishes to exchange for your fourth-tier demon pill and soul essence..."

"May I ask which pill recipe sir has?"

Fang Xi inquired.

"The ’Separation and Union Pill’ and the ’Splitting Spirit Pill’..." A rough voice came from within the shadow, "These are both fourth-tier pill recipes..."

"I already have the recipe for the ’Separation and Union Pill,’ but I don’t have the ’Splitting Spirit Pill.’ You may let me examine the recipe, and if it’s accurate, we can proceed with the trade."

The recipe for the ’Separation and Union Pill’ was naturally one of the two fourth-tier pill recipes that Nangong Li had promised to send, beneficial for those in the early stage of Nascent Soul to enhance their cultivation.

"Hehe... please have a look, sir."

The shadowy demon cultivator carelessly threw out a blood-red jade slip.

Fang Xi received it and let his divine consciousness enter it.

"Hmm... the main ingredients are Purple Sun Warm Flower, Summer Knotweed... requiring over five thousand years..."

"And the pill making techniques... Eh? He actually gave the complete version?"

Fang Xi was somewhat puzzled and worried. Typically, during such a ’product inspection,’ you’d only be shown a small part; how could the cultivator opposite be so generous?

A moment later, his expression turned extremely ugly.

"Sir, this ’Splitting Spirit Pill’ recipe... turns out to be an ancient prescription, most of the main ingredients have already become extinct."

Fang Xi let out a breath and said.

"Hehe... perhaps sir has an extraordinary destiny and can find these main ingredients. Besides, this ’Splitting Spirit Pill’ is very effective for both the middle and late stages of Nascent Soul."

The shadowy demon cultivator gave a weird laugh, "Sir didn’t impose any restrictions on the pill recipe earlier. Could it be that an ancient recipe isn’t a fourth-tier pill recipe anymore? Now that sir has seen the full recipe, do you still intend to refuse the trade?"

It turned out he deliberately provided the complete recipe, just to force Fang Xi into a corner!

Fang Xi’s face also looked very bad. If they were outside, he’d direct the Kuyong Mysterious Light straight at this person’s heart.

Even if he called upon Demon Lord Tian Du, he wouldn’t end up at a loss.

"Sir is enforcing such a coercive sale; would you dare to leave a name?"

His eyes narrowed slightly as he asked.

"Hehe... this lord doesn’t change his name or surname... Since I’ve come to the meeting anonymously, I won’t reveal my true name!"

The shadowy demon cultivator laughed strangely in response.

Fang Xi took a few deep breaths, looking at the gathered gazes of the Nascent Soul elders nearby, and spoke, "The ’Splitting Spirit Pill’ recipe without its main materials has too little value, I can only exchange the Essence Soul of a ten thousand-year Wood Charm."

"Agreed, it’s a deal!"

The shadowy demon cultivator happily took the bottle containing the Essence Soul of a ten thousand-year Wood Charm and returned to the group of elders.

Fang Xi put away the Inner Core of the ten thousand-year Wood Charm, stepped down poisedly, and pondered.

In fact, although the main materials of the ’Splitting Spirit Pill’ were almost extinct in the Southern Wilderness, he had harvested quite a lot in Evergreen Garden.

The rest of the auxiliary spirit medicines could be found as long as one was willing to spend Spirit Stones and effort.

In this way, this ancient pill recipe suitable for enhancing the magic power in the later stage of Nascent Soul became valuable.

’You might make a profit, but I never lose... If only the Purple Gas Heavenly Eye’s secret skill wasn’t commonly outdated at the Nascent Soul stage and had seen through this person’s protective demon light, I’d make you regret it!’ Fang Xi thought to himself.

After he left, another female cultivator took the stage, her voice gentle, "Myself has three drops of ’Heaven Dew,’ wishing to exchange..."

...

The private exchange meeting ended, and the Nascent Soul elders dispersed one after another.

Several days later.

The Seven Treasure Building Boat rumbled, moving seemingly slowly but in actuality quickly.

Fang Xi turned into a black Escape Light, splitting the thousands of strong winds in the high skies, surging through.

’This trip to Jiang Country has been quite rewarding...’

’Not only did I get the pill recipes, I’ve also acquired two pieces of Void Crystal... along with many unexpected treasures...’

’As for the curse-breaking method of ’Resented Spirit Trace’?’

The method was also agreed upon by Demon Lord Tian Du, who would definitely hand it over to Fang Xi before his promise to act in Jiang Country was fulfilled.

Not knowing how long this descent into the lower realm would last, Demon Lord Tian Du would surely use this chance, most likely during the later stages of the most intense wars.

As for Fang Xi, he was indifferent; he left his contact at Profound Ice Palace and then departed leisurely.

For him, in the coming time, he would continue searching for the curse-breaking method of ’Resented Spirit Trace.’

If he found it, naturally, he wouldn’t need to come to Jiang Country to fight.

What about Nangong Li?

This woman’s affairs were even less of his concern...

’It’s time to return to the Three Kingdoms, and on my way past Yuan Country, there’s still some plundering to be done...’

Fang Xi’s eyes flickered, accelerating his speed even more.

...

Seven Treasure Building Boat.

On the deck.

Demon Lord Tian Du and Tian Xingzi stood side by side, silently watching as one Nascent Soul elder after another departed.

"The arrangements for the descent are set; this old Taoist must also take his leave and head to Feng Country to take charge."

Tian Xingzi bowed with his hands clasped and then expressed his curiosity, "Sir seems to be quite concerned about that ’Yun Jiezi’..."

"If you knew that this person had exterminated Demon Lord Qi Sha, you would be just as concerned as I am," replied the Demon Lord Tian Du indifferently.

"If this person can be utilized properly, he could be a great asset in the Higher Realm," Tian Du stated calmly.

"Has Demon Lord Qi Sha turned to dust? What a pity... It is said his Seven Slaughters Demon Skills were extremely aggressive and savage, quite effective against the Monster Clan..." Tian Xingzi seemed genuinely regretful.

"This person was impulsive and had offended many. If it weren’t for the fact that the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm had long since declined, and his cultivation was deep enough, his downfall would have been only a matter of time... Isn’t this the case now?"

Demon Lord Tian Du responded without a hint of emotion.

"However, I really am curious about someone who could annihilate a being like Demon Lord Qi Sha..."

Tian Xingzi seemed to want to read something from Tian Du’s expression, "That Yun Jiezi is only at the early stage of Nascent Soul; perhaps it was a fluke, or he obtained some powerful Supreme Treasure... Don’t you desire it, sir?"

"The great battle is upon us, and since the order for cease-fire has been issued, if I do not lead by example, how can I convince others?"

"Moreover," Tian Du continued with equanimity, "since that person was able to eliminate Qi Sha, he poses a certain threat to us as well."

"A profound point, sir," replied Tian Xingzi.

With a flick of his whisk, Tian Xingzi’s figure instantly turned into a cluster of stars and vanished without a trace.

The Demon Lord Tian Du simply watched quietly.

Until, moments later, the corners of his mouth suddenly curved up:

’If Tian Xingzi would probe on my behalf, that would not be bad...’

Demon Lord Tian Du touched the area around his heart, for he had yet to say another thing.

The demon skills he cultivated included a Divine Skill called ’Departure Resentment Demon Heart,’ adept at sporadic insight and avoiding danger.

On the day he discovered that Yun Jiezi had slain Demon Lord Qi Sha, he had other ideas.

But as he was preparing to act, Departure Resentment Demon Heart suddenly sent a warning, making him feel a threat to his own life!

’What exactly is the threat this person carries, I am looking forward to it as well...’

An unusual light flickered in the eyes of the Demon Lord Tian Du.

Hundreds of miles away, Tian Xingzi’s form appeared, landing upon a wind-traveling boat.

"Supreme Elder!"

Hao Ranzi and the other Righteous Path cultivators were all present, paying respects to Tian Xingzi.

"Set out, back to Feng Country’s Heaven Pillar Mountain... The Heaven and Earth Exterminate Demon Array and Transformative Blood Spirit Array should be set up as soon as possible."

With an indifferent command and a faint smile on his lips, Tian Xingzi issued the order.

As for the so-called opportunistic treasures, he did not place much importance on them.

Reaching the later stage of Nascent Soul, Tian Xingzi had encountered enough fortunate occurrences in his youth to write an epic tome.

Hence, he knew that not every opportunity was suitable for him.

Moreover... he had been an old adversary to the Demon Lord Tian Du for ages, and even though the demon lord’s words seemed exceedingly sincere, he did not believe a single word!

With a formidable enemy approaching, it naturally made sense to first secure their base.

...

Yuan Country.

The headquarters of the Blood Sect.

Ever since the Supreme Elder had formed his Nascent Soul, this place had become a well-known dangerous ground in Yuan Country.

And the Blood Sect had been flourishing.

Although there were still some cultivators confronting the grand army of the Mixed Origin Sect at Mid-Air Mountain, within the sect’s gates, there were still three Core Formation cultivators in charge.

On this day.

Inside the treasure vault of the demonic cult, a Core Formation cultivator clad in a blood-red robe, with two blood eyebrows drooping down, was suddenly roused from his meditative state: "I’ve been having trouble entering a state of meditation recently; could it be the disturbance in the Ancestor Hall affecting me?"

Thinking back to the abnormal occurrences in the Ancestor Hall, the demon cultivator sighed in frustration.

Some time ago, the disciples guarding the Ancestor Hall had sent a secret message that the life tablet of the Blood Sect’s ancestor had shown some anomalies.

The three staying Core Formation cultivators were alarmed and rushed to investigate, only to find that the life tablet was dimmed, not shattered. They heaved a sigh of relief and immediately enacted a gag order, forbidding the leak of this information.

"The dimming of the life tablet’s radiance might signify that he has entered a secret realm within a minor world... Perhaps it’s a chance encounter the ancestor found while in Jiang Country?"

The demon with the blood eyebrows comforted himself privately.

It couldn’t possibly mean that their own ancestor had been captured or trapped in a hopeless predicament, hanging by a thread, right?

Even if that were the case, what could they, a few Core Formation disciples, do about it?

In such circumstances, the three Core Formation cultivators guarding the Blood Sect decided unanimously to keep the news under wraps, especially from reaching the front lines, so as not to disturb the military’s morale.

Just then, in front of the blood-eyebrowed cultivator, a small figure suddenly appeared.

"You!"

With a flicker of divine consciousness, the blood-eyebrowed cultivator saw a Nascent Soul with a greenish-black body, two horns on its head, clad in black armor, holding a blood-red long sabre.

The Nascent Soul playfully flicked the ’Blood Converting Demonic Sabre’ in its hands, and the blood-eyebrowed cultivator felt a fierce pain in his dantian and fell to the ground!

’To think that a Nascent Soul could perform a soul-out-of-body teleportation to ambush me?’

The blood-eyebrowed demon cultivator felt very wronged as he fell to the ground.

But upon seeing the treasure in the hands of the Nascent Soul, he felt a chill shoot up to his heavenly spirit.

’How could this sabre... look like the ancestor’s personal life-bound treasure?!’

But that was to be his last thought.

A large hand grabbed him, pinned down the blood-eyebrowed demon cultivator, and began to search his soul.

Moments later, Fang Xi casually threw the cultivator’s corpse into the Mountain Sea Pearl and took out a blood-red token from the storage bag, moving towards the various shielded secret vaults...
