Chapter 331 – Pillbug
Chapter 331 – Pillbearer
The interior of the palace was extremely wide, with traces of various prohibitions and techniques remaining everywhere, showing how intense the fight the first cultivators to enter it had gone through.
Lu Xuan’s entire person was like a wisp of green smoke as he ran around the palace at great speed.
Not long after, he stopped at the entrance of a wide dan room.
After his Spiritual Sense swept through the inside and found no abnormalities, he lightly entered the Dan Room.
Before he was about to search the room in detail, suddenly, a gentle female cultivator followed him and barged in.
When she saw Lu Xuan, she was first stunned, but then her expression relaxed.
“So it’s Fellow Daoist Lu.”
“Fellow Daoist Qi, what a coincidence to run into you, Fellow Daoist, inside the palace.”
Lu Xuan had some impression of this gentle female cultivator, who had a brief encounter at the auction organized by the Aurora Chamber of Commerce, and was married to another pre-Base Establishment cultivator, living a secluded life on a small island.
According to Shi Zhong introduction, Wen Wan female cultivator in alchemy has extremely good attainments.
“Your couple has always been Jiao and Meng, Meng and Jiao, how come it’s just Fellow Daoist Qi? Where is Fellow Daoist Zhang?”
Lu Xuan’s eyes implied a hint of vigilance, the two of them were good at combining their skills, coupled with their deep bond, they rarely acted separately.
“Husband has gone to other parts of the palace, if Fellow Daoist Lu wants to meet him, I can call him over.”
The gentle female cultivator said with a smile, she and her husband had long lost contact when they passed through the strange stone formation, and after entering the palace, they were affected by various factors and acted separately.
However, she didn’t dare to show the slightest bit of timidity in front of Lu Xuan, lest Lu Xuan would have bad intentions.
“Hahaha, that’s not necessary, this isn’t a good place to state friendships either.”
Lu Xuan looked at the grayish eye pupil in his hand extremely subtly and laughed.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, why don’t the two of us make peace and each search an area of this Dan Room?”
The gentle female cultivator suggested.
“As Fellow Daoist Qi suggests.”
Lu Xuan wasn’t a person who killed indiscriminately, and seeing the Wen Wan female cultivator’s attitude, he naturally readily accepted good advice.
The two of them held magic weapon talismans, guarding each other as they chose an area to search carefully.
Dan room lingers a trace of if not the fragrance of medicine, the most center area is arranged on the ten Dan furnace, each has a prohibition fixed, Lu Xuan see the quality of the general, then extinguished the idea of breaking the prohibition, take away the furnace.
Each wall side, are placed on a tall wooden rack, wooden rack there are still some spirit medicine residue, just have become very dry, inside the medicinal properties of all lost, gently touch will be turned into a variety of powder.
“Fellow Daoist Lu did you find anything?”
The gentle female cultivator carefully searched the area that belonged to her and did not find anything of value, so she came over to Lu Xuan and asked.
“No, just some dried up medicinal herbs and some worthless pots.”
Lu Xuan faintly replied.
“Same on my side.”
The female cultivator sighed softly and returned to search carefully once more.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, I won’t waste any more time here, farewell.”
Soon after, she spoke from afar towards Lu Xuan and left the Dan Room straight away.
Lu Xuan nodded gently, frowning in thought.
He always felt that there was something wrong here.
“The inside of the Dan Furnace is empty, the base of each Dan Furnace, the inner walls and other parts of the furnace have been carefully inspected, no Dan Formulas or anything have been found, and all the spirit medicines on the medicine shelves have already wilted, so where exactly did that hint of medicinal scent come from that I just came in and smelled?”
After advancing to the Foundation Establishment realm, and after his physical body had been repeatedly upgraded, Lu Xuan’s five senses had reached an extremely strong realm.
He sniffed deeply, once again keenly noticing a faint medicinal fragrance permeating the Dan Room. The medicinal fragrance seemed to be seemingly absent, and when Lu Xuan stepped out of the Dan Room, he could not detect it.
“It seems that there should be something hidden in here.”
A layer of misty substance appeared on the outside of Lu Xuan’s pupils, and with the added benefit of the Delusion Breaking Pupil Technique, he realized that there were several faint auras in the Dan Room.
The spiritual light floated and swam around the Dan Room without any rules, and even with Lu Xuan’s current Spiritual Awareness of the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, he was unable to peek into its existence properly.
“However, it’s not enough to just discover the spiritual light, these spiritual lights are really indistinct and elusive, we must find a method to make them manifest.”
As Lu Xuan pondered on this, he suddenly had a bright idea and took out a Second Grade Spirit Embracing Pill from his storage bag.
“Since it’s a dan chamber, then the elixir might crack the current situation.”
Spiritual energy held the Yuming Spirit Pill and floated in the mid-air of the Dan Chamber.
Under the Delusion Breaking Pupil Technique, the several spiritual lights centered on the Yuming Spirit Pill and gathered towards the elixir.
“It really works!” Lu Xuan was delighted in his heart.
His mind condensed on the Spirit Embracing Pill, and suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
[Pill Bug, fourth grade foreign insect, larval stage, nearly formless and colorless. Prefers to feed on the Dan Poison contained in the Dan Furnace and Dan Pill during the alchemy process, and can automatically clean and maintain the Dan Furnace to ensure the quality of the Dan Furnace, as well as slightly enhance the quality of the Dan Pill].
[There is such a delicious flavor, it’s not a waste of a journey in this world!
“Pillbug …… turns out to be this coming.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but be dumbfounded as he felt the so-called Pillbear’s thoughts that were transmitted inside the aura.
“Liking to devour the Dan Furnace, the Dan Poison inside the Dan Pill, calling it his arsenic and my honey.”
It’s medicine that has three poisons, although the elixir possesses various magical effects such as boosting and restoring spiritual energy, healing injuries, etc., it contains a slight Dan poison inside, and the lower the quality of the elixir, the more Dan poison there is.
Dan poison lurks in the cultivator’s body, and if it goes on for years and years, it will negatively affect the cultivator’s normal cultivation and breakthrough realm.
The poison inside the furnace was even worse.
But this medicinal creature can be swallowed to remove the poison inside the furnace and the elixir, maintaining the furnace and improving the quality of the elixir, which can be considered as the best aid for the alchemist.
“Still in the larval stage, it can be caught back and raised.”
Lu Xuan’s heart was intensely interested in this Pill Bug larva.
However, the dilemma before him was how to capture this Pillbear Larva.
Although he had roughly determined its location, the Pill Bug itself was ethereal and intangible, so if he wasn’t careful, he was likely to startle the other party.
Therefore, it was necessary to hit it with a single shot and successfully capture it in one go.
Lu Xuan took out a Fourth Grade Xuan Yin Dan from his storage bag and increased his compulsion.
The Xuan Yin Dan originated from the rewards of the light clusters opened by the Ghost Face Stone Mushroom, it was a great tonic for Ghost Cultivators, Yin Beasts and the like, and its grade was two levels higher than the Yun Ling Dan, so it was naturally more tempting for the Pill Bears.
Under Lu Xuan’s Delusion Breaking Pupil Technique, he found that the spiritual light surrounding the Xuan Yin Dan had brightened slightly.
He silently took out the White Bone Demon Puppet and threw it towards the Xuan Yin Dan in mid-air.
“Go, White Bone Orb!”
The morose white bone sphere violently transformed into a giant net as it approached the Xuan Yin Dan, wiping out the Dan as well as the nearby pill bugs.
Before the medicinal creatures could react, the numerous net holes quickly formed a thin layer of bone membrane, making the entire white bone giant net airtight.
Then, under the control of Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Consciousness, the giant net continuously contracted, compressing the range of activities of the Pillbear.
