Chapter 1697: Beginning the Alchemy Process

ell.As Lu Xia Tian's divine consciousness moved, a pair of silver-gray boxing gloves appeared in his hands. He held them tightly, and his fists rained down on the ice armor like drops of rain.In the b...Ka-cha! After consuming the demon beast's essence, Lu Xia Tian's attack power and speed had reached a new level. At this time, the heavily wounded Ghost Crab was nowhere near capable of resisting.

First, the joints of its massive pincers were severed by Fang Tian's painting halberd. The halberd then extended to Ghost Breaker's abdomen and lifted it, flipping its body upside down. 。A supremely sharp halberd, piercing through its vulnerable abdomen. 。In the midst of screams, the ghost was dealt a fatal blow, its dismembered limbs flying across the ground. 。

The strategy of concentrating forces to eliminate one of them in a single fell swoop proved effective.

Facing the remaining two, he was no longer nervous. 。"We've been tricked, and some more ghost crabs are coming up from behind!" 。Yu Zi Mo and a few others hadn't recovered from the joy of slaying a ghost crab just moments ago, when the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. 。These damn ghost crabs, so cunning. 。But even if you play a siege strategy, don't be afraid to hold out until the end. 。Cui Liu, Tranquil Rain 。You're blocking that one. 。Let's focus our efforts and defeat the other side first, then we'll talk about the next one. 。"Zhou Yu said fiercely, the crimson rope wrapped around the ghost crab tightened even further under its fierce struggle." 。"Exactly what I had in mind!" Those who dare enter here are not the timid sort. Opportunity is fleeting, so with a decisive snap of her fingers, Yu Zi Mo thrust three blades as blue as lightning from above, piercing the ghost crab's belly one after another... 。The penetration speed was somewhat slow. 。At this moment, Lu Xiaitian thrust his halberd from behind Gui Jie's back. Under the force of their clash, the several flying swords controlled by Yu Zi Mo instantly pierced deep into Gui Jie's body. 。Five ghost crabs are already visible. 。"Add more strength!" Yu Zi Mo struck with a blow, seizing the opportunity immediately and relentlessly pursuing it. Among the first batch of three Ghost Crabs that arrived, they were all exceptionally powerful, having already slaughtered a squad and achieved complete victory. Due to the pursuit, they had briefly spread out. 。At this moment, they happened to encounter Lu Xiaitian's squad. They thought that even if they couldn't kill them, relying on their exceptionally strong shell defense, even if they were temporarily disadvantaged, it would be enough to protect themselves. At most, they would suffer some minor losses. After all, they had seen the attacking power of human cultivators before, so they took it for granted. They never expected that Lu Xiaitian's squad was extremely coordinated and immediately adopted the fastest attack strategy... 。 。

The last one remaining was facing a four-sided encirclement, and at this moment, all their souls were trembling with fear. However, it was not so easy to escape now.

Cui Liu and Zhou Yu, using the same tactics that had previously defeated their enemies, once again devised a clever plan. 。Lu Xiaotian's halberd, painted with celestial designs, smashed onto the outer shell of Gu Jie. Yu Zi Mo controlled three azure flying swords that merged into one, easily piercing through its abdomen once again. 。"You lowly humans, how dare you!" The ghost crab leader's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He had never expected that a mere squad of five, with one barely even participating in the fight, could kill three of his clan members in such a short time. 。"What are you afraid of Aren't you going to surround and kill me here" Zhou Yu retorted angrily, reaching out a hand and pointing the crimson wolf fang club forward. 。"What's the point of all this talk, retreat!" Yu Zi Mo said, and she along with Lu Xiao Tian and the others retreated one after another. They had just fought a fierce battle, killing three Nascent Soul level ghost crabs. 。Though the process was short, it did consume some mana. Across from them, there were already five Divine Transformation level demons. Their purpose in this trip wasn't to fight with the local monsters or compete with other cultivators. 。If one side has a clear advantage, it's best to press forward and take the victory. It's always better to avoid these seemingly evenly matched battles whenever possible. 。"Let's go after them!" a transformed Divine Ghost Crab roared angrily. 。"What are you chasing after Are you really going to fight them tooth and nail" The leader of the Ghost Crabs barked in annoyance. 。"Could it be that our kin died in vain" The one who had shouted to chase them earlier was still filled with anger. 。"Nature does not die in vain, it's just that this time a considerable number of humans entered the Yao Kun's body." 。If we were to fight this old squad to a standstill, and then encounter other humans, we'd only be left waiting to be picked off. 。While avenging our kin is important, we must not sacrifice ourselves in the process. 。The ghost crab leader said, “Wait for an opportunity behind. When we encounter someone weak, we'll eat them. We should avoid the strong.” 。Kill a few more of them, their race will be wiped out. They'll just join their ancestors as payment. 。The leader is right. 。Then several other ghost crabs nodded in agreement. 。After all, for a few deceased kin, to disregard one's own life and desperately seek out those human beings whose strength rivals one's own, regardless of the outcome, their side would not fare well. 。“These ghost crabs are actually quite well-behaved.” 。While Cui Liu spoke these words, a visible sigh of relief escaped her lips. 。After escaping the threat of the ghost crabs, the group continued their search for blood moss. Finding blood moss meant finding the essence of the demon whale's blood. 。"Look, there's a patch of blood moss over there." 。"We could probably extract quite a bit of demon whale essence blood!" Tao Jingyu had sharp eyes and excitedly pointed ahead. After searching for another ten days, they finally found a small patch, about zhang in size, of crimson, glistening birthmarks tightly attached to the flesh wall within the demon whale's body in a relatively secluded place. 。Above, a faint scent of blood hung in the air. 。Looking at its growth, it is very similar to the blood fetus described in the records. 。

"Looks like we can get to work now"

Lu Xia Tian and Tao Jing Yu looked at each other and smiled. At that moment, both of them pulled out a small clump of blood moss, gently pressing it against the flesh wall with their hands. Immediately, surging demonic energy and essence blood seeped out. 。“Whoosh!” Two wisps of spiritual fire each roasted the pill furnace, Lu Xia Tian and Jing Yu simultaneously started refining pills. 。Yu Zi Mo, Zhou Yu, and Cui Liu stood on the periphery, guarding against possible dangers. 。From time to time, he would glance excitedly back, hoping that either Lu Xiaitian or Tao Jingyu, or perhaps even one of them, would be able to refine a spirit pill. 。

Pfft... Not long after, a plume of black smoke rose from Lu Xiaottian's Dantian furnace. The reason, naturally, was that Lu Xiaottian’s alchemy speed was considerably faster than Tao Jingyu’s.

"Captain, is this Lu brother really a second-rank Dan Wang I don't see him refining pills like alchemy at all, he doesn't even look at the spiritual herbs before tossing them into the cauldron!" 。Zhou Yu didn't dare to disturb Lu Xiaoxiao, so he could only secretly send a voice transmission to Yu Zimuo. 。Although Cui Liu wasn't as straightforward as Zhou Yu, the meaning behind her voice transmission was similar. 。"Lu brother, this speed of refining pills has already slowed down a bit." 。He has always been so particular about his alchemy. 。I have personally witnessed his alchemy, he is undoubtedly a master alchemist. He is far more skilled than an ordinary first-grade alchemist. 。Especially the speed of alchemy > 。I'm not sure if I can compare to the esteemed Second Grade Dan Wang, Jingyu. 。“Yu Zi Mo replied secretly.” 。"Well, although we brought quite a few spiritual objects this time, they can't withstand large-scale wastage. Brother Lu, I admire you, but the faster the speed of refining pills, the faster the waste." 。"Captain, don't you think resources are being allocated more to Guo Jingyu" Zhou Yu tentatively said. 。 Cui Liu also thought Zhou Yu's words made sense. 。ally be molded into talents.Of course, this is also because Lu Xia Tian had previously killed many Jindan cultivators and used the piled-up Dan Yuan magic weapons to equip the Lingxiao Palace disciple...
