The Desire to Be Eternal
Chapter 38: Summoning the Violet Qi Cauldron
Bai Xiaochun looked extremely excited as he jumped to his feet and flicked his hands and feet, then sent a wooden sword flying around the courtyard dramatically. Sometimes he would speed through the air, other times he would hang heavily in the air, not moving.
The wooden sword underwent a complete transformation there in the courtyard. Immediately, sword qi revolved around the entire area, as if a huge wind had kicked in. Bai Xiaochun was even more excited than before.
A moment later, he waved his right hand, and the small wooden sword flew back into his hand. That striking sword did not look very extraordinary, but the truth of the matter was that thanks to the tripled spirit increase, it was completely beyond what had happened before.
"If I can master Heaviness-in-Lightness and Lightness-in-Heaviness, then by using them together, I can perform ..the only divine ability in the Art of Control Cauldron Control Violet Qi!" Bai Xiaochun took a deep breath, and his eyes shone with anticipation.
"Call for the Violet Qi Cauldron!" Bai Xiaochun put away the wooden sword, then closed his eyes for a long time. Suddenly, he raised his right hand and pointed to the sky. Instantly, his previously invisible internal spiritual energy suddenly appeared in a blinding instant, a thin strand of spiritual energy quickly formed into the outline of the cauldron.
It was as if there was a mysterious power guiding them, turning them into a certain shape.
A tremendous pulse of pressure began to radiate out from the cauldron, a spirit pressure that was even stronger than the pressure from the flying sword.
Bai Xiaochun's face quickly ran out of blood when the spirit pressure within him was depleted by nearly eighty percent. At that point, the cauldron was fully formed, and exuded a powerful spirit pressure. Bai Xiaochun gestured with his fingers, sending the crushed cauldron to the ground.
When that happened, the cauldron shattered, and a large amount of spiritual energy scattered about.
A powerful explosion resounded, and the 300-meter-long ground in all directions let out a cracking sound as the crack spread out.
Fortunately, the formation of the Fragrant Cloud Peak protective spell almost instantly repaired the damage. Even still, some of the Outer Sect disciples who were nearby heard a muffled explosion, and were shocked.
Bai Xiaochun took a deep breath. He had never imagined that the Summoning of the Violet Qi Cauldron would be so impressive. One attack from him seemed almost second to none.
"The summoning of the Violet Qi Cauldron was clearly worthy of being the only divine ability in the Violet Qi Cauldron Control Art. No wonder it could only be released after Heaviness-in-Lightness and Lightness-in-Heaviness were fully understood. " Bai Xiaochun's eyes shone with a brilliant light, but almost at the same time, he frowned. Although this divine ability was powerful, it took a lot of energy from it.
Bai Xiaochun knew that the reason he wasted only eighty percent of his spiritual power, and nothing more, was because it was so pure. Other disciples who gained the enlightenment of this divine ability before the eighth level of Qi Condensation would have all their internal spiritual energy drained. The only way to truly utilize the technique without overwhelming wastage was to wait until the ninth level of Qi Condensation.
“According to the description of the Summoning Violet Qi Cauldron, it can be divided into high, medium, and low levels. The cauldron I just produced is of low quality. If I can reach the middle-class level, I will be able to form two cauldrons. By reaching the high level, I can have three cauldrons, then form them into one large cauldron! ” After standing there thinking for a moment, Bai Xiaochun sat down cross-legged and started doing breathing exercises. It was not until the moon hung high in the sky that he finally opened his eyes, revealing a bright spirit light in his eyes. As of now, his cultivation base had almost completely recovered.
“Divine ability like this can be used as a trump card. If Zhou Xinqi's fans ever mess with me, I can use it to destroy them. " Even though Bai Xiaochun felt a little better, when he thought about the Inner Sect disciple named Qian, his brows furrowed.
"you must be at least at the eighth level of Qi Condensation to enter the Inner Sect …." When he thought about it, Bai Xiaochun felt as worried as before. He glanced at her skin for a moment, and his eyes were sparkling. With that, he got up and took a few steps forward, adding speed as he reached out with his thumb and index finger. A black light flashed as the tips of the two fingers touched each other.
A cracking sound rang out in the air, along with an explosive aura. Bai Xiaochun stared at his two fingers in surprise for a moment before recovering his composure.
"This is a kill .. step that I can use to save my own life." After thinking further, he came to the conclusion that the stronger the killing move, the better for him. Now, the main thing he was worried about was the Eternal Life Technique.
After obtaining his Deathless Iron Skin, he had attempted to continue developing the Undead Immortal Life Technique, but discovered that as soon as he started, he started to feel hungry again.
Furthermore, the spirit-tailed chicken on the southern edge of the Spirit Stream Sect was no longer an option. He only relied on ordinary spirit food, which he was sure would not be enough to prevent hunger pangs.
He had been looking for the rest of the high and low mountains to be devoured by the other spirit beasts, but ever since the demon Chicken Thief rose to fame, he had been looking for the rest of the mountains, the three mountains on the southern edge began to guard strictly all areas where spirit beasts were raised.
The anxiety on his face grew as he pondered over his problem. Even as he pondered on how to solve the problem of great hunger, he suddenly recalled back to the Longevity Enhancing Pill.
"Yes that's right." he said, his eyes began to shine brightly. The pill could not only increase one's cultivation base, it also added vital energy. After obtaining his Deathless Iron Skin, he realized that cultivating it actually required vital energy, which was why he felt extremely hungry.
“Basically, I can concoct my own medicine. That way, when the time comes to take the promotion test, I will be much more confident. Also, it would be much easier to concoct the Foundation Pill in the future. " After making the decision, he set his jaw to ponder the matter further. The next morning at dawn, he simply jumped to his feet.
“You medicines need medicinal formulas, and I can get them even without being promoted to a day-worker pharmacist. All I have to do is go to the market at the bottom of the mountain and I will be able to buy any random medicinal formula available. " Bai Xiaochun patted his bag to hold and thought about how he had really not spent much money at all since arriving at Fragrant Cloud Peak. As an Outer Sect disciple, he was given a spirit stone salary every month, which meant he had a small amount of savings accumulated.
The truth was that Bai Xiaochun did not care much about possessions. He immediately flew out of his courtyard onto the path that led to the mountain.
During the entire time he had been at Fragrant Cloud Peak, this was only the second time he had left the mountain to go to the market. The first time was when he bought the medicinal herbs he needed to exchange for those medicinal pills. Almost as soon as he stepped out of Fragrant Cloud Peak, two people suddenly flew towards the nearby courtyard residence.
"Sister Chen, are you home ?!"
"Sister Chen, Bai Xiaochun left the mountain!" These two people were extremely strong, with an incredible cultivation base at the fourth level of Qi Condensation. They burst excitedly into the courtyard, where a burly man could be seen sitting cross-legged in meditation.
The burly man was extremely muscular, broad-shouldered like a bear and looked formidable like a lion, and as soon as he heard the words spoken by the two men, a bright light flashed in his eyes.
"Bai Xiaochun? So, he finally left the mountain, huh ?! ” The burly man laughed ferociously, then suddenly got up to his feet. He looked as big as a mountain, and had deep energy, which came from cultivating at the fifth level of Qi Condensation. As a result, he exuded a strong spirit pressure.
This was none other than Chen Fei, who used to work in the Supervisory Department.
The three of them had been friends long ago, and at that time had almost nothing. Not only did they have other servants to wait for them back then, they were also able to darken quite a number of spirit stones. Of course, they never expected to be truly pushed into the Outer Sect by Bai Xiaochun and his friends. The past two years had been heavy on them, and their hatred for Bai Xiaochun had seeped deep into their bones.
However, they were unable to provoke Big Fatty Zhang, let alone Third Fatty Hei. On the other hand, even though Bai Xiaochun looked strong, they argued that he was actually relatively weak. So they had long since planned their revenge. Unfortunately for them, during that time, Bai Xiaochun never left the sect. And in the end, even though Chen Fei had some connections, he did not dare to break the sect rules.
In fact, his biggest connection in the sect was his older cousin, who was a disciple of the Inner Sect. However, his cousin did not pay much attention to him, and only helped him to some extent, even on his days as a servant.
Therefore, they were forced to wait for two whole years for Bai Xiaochun to leave the sect. Now, the moment they were waiting for had arrived. Chen Fei felt extremely confident thanks to her recent breakthrough to the fifth level of Qi Condensation. After wondering, he knew Bai Xiaochun's cultivation level, and also heard about him taking first place in the recent competition, even though the news was that he had won that victory by chance.
“At that time he scared the rest of us by tricking us into thinking he had mastered Lightness-in-Heaviness. Hmph! I can't believe he forced us to join the Outer Sect. Finally, I will vent my anger! " A fierce ray appeared in Chen Fei's eyes. The plan instead of killing Bai Xiaochun, just smashing his bones and severing his tendons, was enough to make him bedridden for at least a year.
Although the sect would definitely investigate this matter afterwards, since there would be no eyewitnesses, since there would be no deaths involved, and because Chen Fei had connections within the sect, it was not, the big problem will be the small one, and then the little thing will become easy to solve.
"You can't blame us if he doesn't fit in!" Chen Fei blinked moving, immediately heading down the mountain, followed by her two friends. The three of them moved at high speed to a certain path they knew that Bai Xiaochun would pass on his way back from the market, and lay there waiting.
**
The market was not huge, so Bai Xiaochun did not take long to find two random level-1 formulas. One of them can be used to replenish spiritual energy, the other is to enrich vital energy. When it comes to formulas for enriching vital energy, high-level versions are very expensive. However, the low-level version, although not common, is mostly used by humans for health and exercise purposes.
Although most cultivators would not find them useful, to Bai Xiaochun, they were like precious treasures. After using his turtle to perform a threefold spirit enhancement on the resulting medicinal pill, they would have a completely different result.
Bai Xiaochun did not even spend very much of his spirit stones to obtain the necessary medicinal herbs, he needed to concoct spirit medicines. While patting her bag to hold back happiness, she started humming a little as she left the market. As he walked along the small path back to the sect, he fantasized what it was like to concoct medicines, and he was very happy.
However, before he walked very far down the path, his expression suddenly flickered, and he stopped in place. After reaching the sixth level of Qi Condensation, his senses had grown sharper, and he could instantly detect the breathing of the three people hiding in the nearby bushes. Their hearts were also racing as they watched him climb onto the path.
Seeing that Bai Xiaochun had stopped in place, Chen Fei and his two friends exploded to stand in front of him.
"Bai Xiaochun," he said viciously, "the day has come to end our grudges!" His friends wore equally fierce smiles on their faces as they spread to Bai Xiaochun's side.
