Chapter 225 The Elders of the Xuan Yin Sect Attack (Second Update)

One month after entering the new world.

"receive!"

Li Chuan made a hand seal and absorbed the completely refined Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl into his dantian.

The method of refining treasures at Xiaozhushan is called the Jiyin Nine Clashes Lesser Vehicle Multi-Treasure Method, which is a superior Taoist method of refining treasures.

At first, Li Chuan's refining speed of the Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl was extremely slow because he didn't have much true essence in his body and was not proficient in magic.

But as time went on, his true essence increased, his spells became more and more proficient, and his refining speed increased.

Today, he has finally refined Li Qingfeng's magic weapon, the Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl, into his own magic weapon.

"disease!"

With another hand seal, Li Chuan pointed at the stone table in the courtyard, and the Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl immediately flew out from his dantian, transforming into a streak of red light that crashed into the stone table at incredible speed.

"boom!"

The stone table was instantly pulverized by the Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl and scattered on the ground.

"burn!"

With a flick of his hand, the Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl swiftly flew above the lotus pond, unleashing a raging flame that instantly evaporated all the water in the pond.

"Not bad, let's test the flight speed."

After a simple test of the Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl's power, Li Chuan nodded in satisfaction and then vanished from the courtyard using Phantom Shift.

He wasn't particularly looking forward to the power of the Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl. According to Li Qingfeng's memory, even if the Core Formation cultivator, Daoist Qingzhu, used it personally, its power would be about the same as the ten-ring pearl in his hand.

What he was really looking forward to was the flight ability that the magic weapon would bring.

Even cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage can fly as long as they have their own magic weapon, and at a considerable speed.

He doesn't know any flight magic at the moment. If he wants to fly, he needs to rely on the tenth ring, but the flight speed of the tenth ring is very slow, not even as fast as he can run on the ground.

Alternatively, you can rely on your guardian spirit to carry you through the air, which is faster than the ten-ring speed, but it's still not ideal.

Li Chuan appeared on the deserted riverbank outside the city. He then made a hand seal again and summoned the Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl. However, this time the Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl did not set off a fire. Instead, it suddenly grew dozens of times larger.

Li Chuan jumped onto the Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl, activated the spell to control the magic weapon and fly away, and the Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl immediately carried him away as a streak of red light.

"This speed is beyond sound."

Sitting cross-legged on the Crimson Spirit Pearl, he quickly calculated its maximum flight speed.

After the test, Li Chuan stored the Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl in his dantian, intending to use Phantom Teleportation to return to his house in the city to continue refining the two magical treasures of the demonic cultivator and cultivate and accumulate true essence within his body.

However, before he could chant the incantation, a sinister laugh suddenly drifted from afar:

"I've waited five days, and you've finally come out, you little Taoist!"

Li Chuan frowned and looked toward the direction from which the sound came. He saw a magnificent sedan chair being carried by eight burly men in black armor, speeding toward them from a distance as if it were flying through the air.

That evil voice just now came from that luxurious sedan chair.

"Who are you? I don't seem to recognize you."

Seeing the sedan chair stop ahead, Li Chuan's heart stirred, and he roughly guessed where the other party came from.

He didn't know who the other person was, but he guessed it was related to the demonic cultivator who had escaped a month ago.

"I am Elder Nantong of the Xuan Yin Sect. Although you do not know me, you must know me, your poor disciple whose magic treasure you stole."

As the black curtain in front of the sedan chair was lifted, two shirtless men were revealed. Both men had fair skin and handsome features. The one who was speaking was taller, while the other was shorter.

Li Chuan didn't recognize the taller one, nor did Li Qingfeng remember him, but the shorter one was exactly as he expected—the demonic cultivator who had escaped a month ago.

"Master, it's him! He's the one who stole my magic treasures! You must do justice for me! I can still sense that my Blood Banner and Blood Nails are with him."

The shorter demonic cultivator, upon seeing Li Chuan, first gritted her teeth in anger, then began to act coquettishly with a shy expression, giving Li Chuan goosebumps.

"It seems this fellow Daoist killed my relatives in the mortal realm first, and then killed me again. It's not unreasonable for me to take his magical artifact!"

The Xuan Yin Sect, originally named the Tian Yin Sect, was a sect whose members specialized in the art of sexual cultivation, regardless of gender. They were also proficient in various evil arts and were once one of the strongest sects in the demonic path.

Later, his ancestor, the Hundred Desires Demon Yan Shi, angered the Emei Sect's leader, Master Bai Mei, who chased him to the mountain gate and killed him on the spot. Most of the sect members also died at the hands of the Emei sword cultivators.

A small number of the surviving disciples fled to the Golden Star Gorge in the South China Sea and renamed themselves the Xuan Yin Sect.

Information about the Xuan Yin Sect flashed through Li Chuan's mind. He knew that those who could be called elders were at least Core Formation stage cultivators, just like Daoist Qingzhu.

So I thought it best to avoid conflict if possible.

"If you are willing to let this go, then I can return the two magical treasures to that fellow Daoist."

"No, Master, I not only want to take back my magic weapon, but also his magic weapon, and I want to use his flesh and blood cultivation to replenish my Blood Fiend Banner."

The short demonic cultivator thought Li Chuan was scared, so he immediately started shouting.

You have to understand that he paid a considerable price to bring his master back from the South China Sea, both physically and in terms of cultivation. If he only gets back his two magic treasures, it would be too much of a loss.

"Look, my lovely disciple is unwilling, and you've made me waste five days outside the city. Unless you're willing to join the Xuan Yin Sect as my disciple and serve me for ten years."

Otherwise, I will not only take back my disciple's magic weapon, but I will also refine you into it and give it to him.

The tall demonic cultivator revealed a wicked smile, clearly regarding Li Chuan as a fish on a chopping board.

Indeed, in his view, Li Chuan was just a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, so how could he possibly defeat him, an old demon who had cultivated for four hundred years and was at the Core Formation stage?

If the other party hadn't been hiding in a mortal city, he would have captured him five days ago.

Although demonic cultivators are rampant, and sometimes some low-level demonic cultivators will secretly go to a village to slaughter people to refine magical treasures and cultivate demonic arts, they generally do not dare to make a move in large towns.

It wasn't out of fear of the court of mortals.

However, if one is too flamboyant, it is easy to attract the righteous cultivators to attack one another.

The patriarch of the Xuan Yin Sect, Yan Shi, a Hundred Desires Demon God with the cultivation of an Earth Immortal, was killed by the White-Browed True Man for seven days and seven nights after he sacrificed a mortal town with his blood. He was beaten to death, and had no chance to be reincarnated.

Moreover, many ordinary people in towns actually have some blood ties with righteous sects, unorthodox sects, or even demonic cultivators.

In most towns, cultivators from various factions may disguise themselves as mortals to gain experience, and there might even be cultivators at the Core Formation and Nascent Soul stages among them.

Therefore, in the cultivation world, not engaging in large-scale battles in mortal towns is an unspoken rule tacitly agreed upon by righteous, unorthodox, and demonic cultivators.
