Chapter 282: Huisheng's Gaze

.Lu Xia Tian wasn't afraid of failure, but he was unusually annoyed by failures without a clear cause. At the root of it all, when he tried to accelerate the maturation of the golden condensing fruit...If one were to master the techniques of the Black Wind Demon Python, it would be an excellent tool for both offense and defense. Whether used to attack, evade attacks, or escape, its methods are undetectable and leave no trace.

Lu Xia Tian held the gray stone in his hand, his face flickering between uncertainty and hope. He almost wanted to give up, but for now, his strength had reached a bottleneck. Besides improving his cultivation through moving steps, there was no other way to strengthen his abilities. Perhaps this gray stone before him was the only opportunity.

After a moment's hesitation, Lu Xia Tian finally made up his mind and decided to give it another try. At worst, it was just a wisp of divine consciousness. Although it would be painful and he would lose some cultivation gained from the Soul Nourishing Pill, he could simply cultivate it back with time. Moreover, he had two souls, so it wouldn't affect his usual cultivation or fighting.

Thinking of this, Lu Xia Tian once again split a wisp of his divine consciousness and immersed it into the gray stone. Almost as soon as his divine consciousness entered, Lu Xia Tian felt a sharp pain in his brain like a needle prick. His face turned pale, looking at the gray stone in his hand, his expression became extremely unpleasant. In that instant, the divine consciousness that had entered the gray stone disappeared without a trace, not even a sliver could be sensed.

Could it be that this piece of gray stone could really eat divine consciousness He had seen many monsters that ate things, but he had never seen a monster that ate divine consciousness, especially when the one in his hand was just an inanimate object. Lu Xiaoteng gritted his teeth and once again split off a strand of divine consciousness. Although the pain was excruciating when the divine consciousness lost its connection, a few strands of divine consciousness wouldn't cause much damage to his primordial spirit in a short time.

After repeated attempts, Lu XiaTian's complexion turned slightly pale. A sharp pain pierced his brain again, but this time, there was a hint of surprise on his face. In previous attempts, his divine consciousness had been cut off as soon as it entered the gray stone. This time, he faintly felt something misty inside. Although he still hadn't discovered anything, his divine consciousness had only sensed an almost negligible moment longer than before. However, this was a fundamental difference from the complete emptiness of the previous attempts, like a seemingly impenetrable turtle shell that he had pried open with a tiny crack.

Although Lu Xiaotien's face was slightly pale, his spirit was actually quite good. By this point, the gray stone in Lu Xiaotien's hand flashed and disappeared, being once again put away inside the barrier. A three-foot layer of ice isn’t formed in a day, nor is a stone pierced by water drops in a day. Originally, he had no hope, but to find even a hint was unexpected joy. At this time, having already lost several strands of divine consciousness, to continue would be forcing it.

Not only might he not gain anything, but he might actually injure his primordial spirit. In order to cultivate the Myriad Crack Mystic Art again in the future, Lu Xia Tian didn't intend to let his primordial spirit suffer any major trauma. He only planned to have a few strands of divine consciousness recover in time. If he truly caused some damage, it would negatively affect his cultivation of the Myriad Crack Mystic Art later on, and the loss would outweigh any gain.

On the bright side, he had already gotten a glimpse of the situation. Lu Xia Tian wasn't afraid of waiting; what he feared was having no clue where to start. He cultivated the mysterious art of裂 (Liè), and cultivating it for a second time would take several years. Some powerful techniques in the cultivation world took ten or dozens of years to cultivate. Being greedy for immediate results was not a wise choice.

After swallowing a Soul Nourishing Pill, Lu Xia Tian's deputy soul entered a state of cultivation and rest. With a thought, he took out several storage bags. Two were obtained from the slain Flying Cavalry Tribe, while one was taken from Cheng Tao when he had killed him.

With a stretch of his hand, a green, luminous pearl appeared in his palm. It was the Bi Jiao Pearl. Although Cheng Tao had been killed by him, the power of this Bi Jiao Pearl was undeniable. If not for the fact that the opponent was too close and he hadn't had much time to react, and he didn't know the details of the other person's physical cultivation, wanting to take down this person head-on would still require some effort. Compared to the few Dan Yuan artifacts in his hand, whether it was the Huo Jiao bow and arrow, the Lie Di knife, or the Chi Yan Lihuo sword, they were all sharp attacking artifacts, while the Bi Jiao Pearl in front of him was both offensive and defensive. Although his own defense was already quite amazing now, with the Huo Jiao scale armor, for many cultivators who lacked such defensive abilities, the Bi Jiao Pearl was undoubtedly more rare.

The Bi Jiao Zhu is a good magic weapon, but at this time, with his strength, he can no longer use it to its full potential. He only has dual Yuanshen, and with his current cultivation level, controlling two magic weapons simultaneously in battle would consume too much energy, something he couldn't sustain. It's likely that even any cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage wouldn't be able to withstand such a drain. Perhaps Su Qing's Yin Yuan Zhu, after accumulating a large amount of mana in advance, could give it a try. But given the preciousness of the Yin Yuan Zhu, Lu Xia Tian could only shake his head and smile. This kind of treasure couldn't be bought simply with spirit stones.

After a slight hesitation, he decided to put the Bi Jiao Pearl away first. He opened the storage bags of the two Fei Qi tribe cultivators. There weren't many spirit stones inside, and the spiritual herbs weren't particularly valuable either. However, there were some materials from monster beasts, which were quite valuable and could be used to refine flying artifacts. It was understandable that these Fei Qi tribe cultivators, who hunted various monster beasts together for years, would have more monster beast materials than others.

Having counted these items, Lu Xia Tian took out a green spear and a book of martial arts techniques from within.

"Wind-Fire Separation Spear!"

Lu Xiaoxian saw the introduction of the martial arts manual and couldn't help but become interested. Unexpectedly, this seemingly ordinary blue spear also had such a saying. During the previous battle with the cultivators of the Flying Cavalry Tribe, he only felt that these blue spears were much faster than ordinary magic weapons. Moreover, their power was heavy, exceeding that of ordinary magic weapons. At that time, whether it was Lu Xiaoxian or Luo Qian, they both thought that the people of the Flying Cavalry Tribe must have relied on the flight speed of the white stork, combining it with the throwing of the blue spear, generating a powerful impact force. Therefore, both in terms of speed and strength, they were more prominent than ordinary cultivators.

>It was only after flipping open the manual that Lu Xia Tian discovered things were not as simple as he had imagined.

Originally, this Windfire Separation Spear was created by a sage of the Qua tribe. It emphasizes using wind to aid fire and fire to amplify wind. Because the northwestern region of the Celestial Firmament Cultivation Realm is sparsely populated and has few spirit stones produced, the ways to improve cultivation and strength are comparatively less diverse than those found in the Moonlit Cultivation Realm. However, their ancestors, through countless years of battling demon beasts, also comprehended a unique way to enhance strength. This azure spear was forged from a type of stone native to the Flying Cavalry tribe. It's not metal but possesses a fiery nature. Additionally, it incorporates a special wind-based material from another tribe, resulting in an azure spear that, when thrown, not only possesses the impact force of a cultivator but also benefits from wind's assistance. This significantly increases its attack speed. Therefore, the speed of this thrown spear directly translates to its power.

It's possible that for the sake of secrecy, to prevent the leakage of the clan's core secrets, the manuals didn't mention what kind of wind elemental this was. Lu Xia Tian couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. If he could incorporate this unique wind elemental into his Chi Yan Li Huo Sword, increasing its speed by even a level, it would be terrifying in combat.
