The Moon Witch Tribe had a large harvest of prey, so they held a grand ceremony with singing and dancing, which benefited the entire tribe.

However, before they could finish celebrating, an uninvited guest arrived.

The ceremony was halfway through, and the entire tribe was filled with a joyous atmosphere.

Suddenly, a rainbow light appeared from the southeast side. Upon closer inspection, it was clearly a Human Race cultivator who had arrived on a sword.

He was dressed in a white robe, which shone with a silvery glow under the moonlight, making him look as white as a snowman.

Xiao Chen had already met with the Great Powers of the Compassion Sea.

However, he could not identify which sect the other party belonged to from their clothing or Flying Sword.

Judging from the appearance, this must have happened a long time ago.

The Sword Light hovered above the tribe, and only one person had arrived.

The Moon Witch Tribe below were immediately on high alert, and the old, young, women and children hurriedly hid in all directions.

The able-bodied warriors, armed with weapons or Witch Artifact, were ready for battle.

Xiao Chen noticed that there were almost no priests or Witch Chief specifically in charge of directing operations.

However, the entire Moon Witch Tribe seemed to clearly understand what they should do.

Although there was some panic, no riots occurred.

Judging from this emergency response, although the Witch Clan lacked preparation for sudden events, their mobilization speed was extremely fast.

Clearly, through years of foreign campaigns, they have accumulated a wealth of war experience.

After making preparations, the High Priest, holding his Witch Artifact, addressed the monks in the air.

Since there was no sound, Xiao Chen could only judge from the expressions of both parties that the negotiations were not going smoothly.

Sure enough, in the next moment.

The High Priest of the Witch Clan flew into a rage and hurled his Witch Staff like a javelin.

Suddenly, a burst of silvery-white light shot straight up to the sky, like Rainbow Piercing the Sun.

However, the monk seemed to have anticipated this.

Seeing the Witch Clan make a move, he simply raised his sleeve and stretched out his right hand, instantly revealing a gourd that was completely bright and golden.

That gourd was truly a marvelous object; not a single impurity or flaw could be seen, it was as if it had been carved from the finest Yellow Jade.

The newcomer raised the gourd high with his right hand, removed the gourd's mouth with his left hand, and gently waved it towards the silver light below.

It immediately absorbed the silver light.

Immediately afterwards, several warriors from the Moon Witch Tribe also joined the attack.

However, whether it was arrows or boulders, sharp knives or grappling hooks, none could escape the bright yellow gourd.

In the blink of an eye.

The cultivator was still unharmed, but about half of the various Witch Artifact below were missing.

Throughout this process, Xiao Chen kept his eyes glued to the gourd.

The more I looked at it, the more inexplicably familiar the gourd seemed.

Finally, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he remembered one of the Twenty-Four Ancient Magic Treasures he had seen in the "Travelogue of Xinghai Guest: Chapter on Law Treasure".

The Treasure- Treasure Collecting Yellow Gourd a special Ancient Magic Treasure designed to collect various offensive magical Law Artifact, Spirit Artifact, and talismans!

This thing, of course, disappeared a long time ago.

Xiao Chen had also thought that he wouldn't encounter these Ancient Magic Treasure anytime soon.

I never expected to see the Treasure Collecting Yellow Gourd in the Inheritance Scene of the Moon Witch Tribe today.

The white-robed cultivator possessed such a Law Treasure and deliberately maintained a certain distance, preventing the Witch Clan from launching an attack on him.

Several Witch Clan warriors tried to split up, but he intercepted them all by casually tossing down a Talisman.

But at the same time, he also acted with great restraint.

Despite having the advantage of the Law Treasure and seemingly possessing considerable cultivation, he never made a move to harm anyone.

Although the two sides appeared to have been fighting for quite some time, the white-robed cultivator was actually using his gourd for defense most of the time.

This self-restraint only made the High Priest and the Witch Clan warriors below extremely irritable.

Given the current situation, it seems they have no chance of defeating their opponent unless they resort to Witch Clan Forbidden Technique.

However, this was not the case when the tribe was not in danger of extinction, nor had it suffered any casualties.

There seems to be no reason to give up one's life and fight to the Mutual Destruction, resulting in mutual destruction.

After the fight, the High Priest waved his hand to stop the battle again, and then negotiated with the white-robed monk once more.

A moment later, he turned back into the tribe and obtained three Blood Crystal from the Saintess.

Then, with a look of utter reluctance on his face, he tossed the Blood Crystal to the other person.

The white-robed cultivator accepted the Blood Crystal with a smile, then waved the Treasure Collecting Yellow Gourd, returning all the previously collected Witch Artifact to them.

Then he bowed to the ground below before calmly stepping back on his sword.

This caused many of the Witch Clan warriors below to turn red in the face, staring fiercely at his departing figure.

Even in the Inheritance Scene, the style of the white-robed cultivator's clothing and the design of the Flying Sword were deliberately enlarged.

They clearly considered this a great humiliation and hoped that future generations would learn of the situation and help them take revenge.

However, after so many years, the Moon Witch Tribe has long been wiped out, and the sect of that white-robed cultivator probably did not survive either.

This old grudge between them could only be left unresolved.

Just as the first light of dawn appeared in the east, the sky began to lighten.

As dawn broke and the moonlight faded, the Moon Eclipse came to an end.

Su Li seemed to be thinking of something. She tilted her head slightly, her gaze sweeping over Xiao Chen's White Feather Robe, and stared at him with a smile.

In the sky, where the darkness had not yet completely faded and a few stars were still faintly visible, her eyes looked brighter than the stars themselves.

The morning breeze gently lifted her long hair, revealing a section of her fair and rosy ear tip.

It makes you feel like she secretly ran out of the painting.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Xiao Chen curiously reached out and touched his cheek, somewhat puzzled.

Su Li suddenly released her hands, took a step back, and then gently shook her head. "It's nothing, thank you for helping me again."

He then took the Blood Crystal from his chest. "Would you like to absorb it now?"

"Let me save them up for you first."

Because it absorbed the Moonlight Power, but only for a short time, the Blood Crystal is the same size as before, but its color looks noticeably deeper.

"Okay, you can keep it for now."

Xiao Chen thought for a moment, "Saving up a few more and absorbing them all at once should be more helpful in mobilizing qi and blood to break through the bottleneck."

The main reason is that his Qi and Blood Concentration is already quite high, so the effect of absorbing a single Blood Crystal is very limited.

Since it won't significantly improve immediate combat strength, it's better to save it for later.

Xiao Chen also had Su Li save the large Blood Crystal that had absorbed the Moonlight Power for him, so that they could use it together in the future.

That's why she just asked if she should continue saving them.

Anyway, now that there are Witch Artifact to store Blood Crystal, leaving them for a short period of time, as long as it's not too long, won't cause any loss of effect.

There are actually more than ten days left until the end of the year.

For the next period of time, Xiao Chen planned to stay on the island and stock up on some Clear Dew Foundation Establishment Pill.

I'll save up a lot and sell them all together next year.

He wandered around the island and finally arrived at the mountain in the middle of Secluded Doom Island where he had broken through to the Nascent Soul, intending to set up this place as his temporary Alchemy Chamber.

The Pill Furnace and the like are all readily available.

Although considering Xiao Chen's current cultivation level, the grade might be a bit low, and it's not quite up to par.

But since it's just refining Second-Order Spirit Pill, as long as it works, that's fine.

It is worth mentioning that, due to its completely new design, the Clear Dew Foundation Establishment Pill is entirely different from Traditional Foundation Establishment Pill.

Therefore, its Main Ingredient was changed from the Five-Colored Golden Lotus to five relatively rare Five Elements Spiritual Objects, each with some side effects.

During the refining process, these five spirit medicine will fuse together to form a Five Elements Power, which will then be amplified by the auxiliary herbs to suppress the side effects of the Soul-Shocking Grass.

Xiao Chen could even vaguely discern a hint of the Five Elements Mutual Generation from it.

This is also the main reason why he firmly believes that the Pill Formula definitely came from a high-level cultivator.

These five spiritual items are usually used as auxiliary medicines or poisons, so their quantity on the market is naturally not high.

However, compared to things like the Five-Colored Golden Lotus, which are priceless and hard to find, it's still much easier to buy.

After tidying up the Alchemy Chamber, Xiao Chen went to the nearby Azure Sea Market.

All the spirit medicine needed for alchemy were gathered very easily.

They also swept up all the related spiritual items on the market, helping the vendors pack up early and take the Spirit Stone home for the New Year.

In any case, Xiao Chen didn't have to worry about buying too much and not being able to use it all, nor did he have to worry about refining it but not being able to sell it.

Once all the spiritual materials are gathered, there's not much to say about the refining process.

As long as he has the Alchemist's Heart, and doesn't encounter any outrageous accidents during the refining process, such as a sudden earthquake, he can achieve 100% success.

Moreover, if a knowledgeable Alchemist were to witness this scene, they would likely be utterly astonished.

Because Xiao Chen's movements and timing were even more precise and graceful than those of Alchemist Zhao.

However, since Su Li was the only one on Secluded Doom Island, no one else had the chance to see her.

"Didn't you say you wanted to practice witchcraft?"

Xiao Chen looked curiously at Su Li, who had been staring at him all day. "How do you still have so much free time?"

To be honest, he's been on the island for three days already.

But she was never seen cultivating.

The only difference from before is that it has been moved from the reefs on the coast to a large rock platform inside the mountain.

Then he still spent most of the day there just spacing out.

The remaining time was used to ponder the ultimate question—what should I eat tonight?

Xiao Chen brought back a lot of fruits, vegetables and seasonings from the market, so now on the island, in addition to grilled fish and stewed fish, we can also cook some proper dishes.

Su Li tirelessly changes the dishes every day, which takes her almost two hours.

Upon hearing Xiao Chen's question, she first calculated the time.

Realizing it was only noon, he remained seated on the rock platform, saying, "I've temporarily stopped practicing witchcraft these past two days, so I have more time."

Xiao Chen asked curiously, "Oh? Why?"

In cultivation, the worst thing is to be inconsistent in your efforts.

Especially when you first start cultivating, you can't relax for even a single day.

Generally speaking, unless there is an unavoidable reason, cultivators will always take some time out of their busy schedules to ensure that their cultivation continues uninterrupted.

Therefore, Xiao Chen was very curious as to why they would suspend their cultivation when there was nothing else to do on the island.

"Because..."

Su Li was about to reply when she heard this, but suddenly her cheeks flushed. "It can't be explained in just a few words, but there's a reason."

Her thinking was actually very simple.

That means taking advantage of the fact that Xiao Chen is currently on the island to spend as much time together as possible.

Once he goes out to do other things and you're left alone on the island, you'll naturally have plenty of time to cultivate.

But how could I possibly come up with such a reason?

So Su Li had no choice but to give a vague answer and deflect the question.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen didn't press the matter. Instead, he turned around and continued refining the next batch of spirit pills.

Although he occasionally has moments of curiosity, he can control it most of the time.

He wouldn't do things he shouldn't do; for example, since the Holy City was likely dangerous, he wouldn't go there.

He didn't ask questions he shouldn't ask; for example, since Su Li didn't seem inclined to talk about it, he didn't ask.

Xiao Chen has always believed that this is a good habit that should be maintained, as it can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble for himself.

Of course, he did more than just refine elixirs every day.

Instead, he also set aside a small portion of his time to practice Law Technique.

After all, he had previously received a bottle of Azure Jade Lotus Seed, a specialty of Universal Salvation Temple, from Zen Master Jing Hua Jinghua.

This item is quite effective in assisting in the practice of Law Technique.

Taking just one pill a day can significantly increase your cultivation efficiency for the duration of the practice.

A lingering aftertaste will remain in your mind, helping to solidify the gains from your practice.

Given this characteristic, Xiao Chen would take one pill every morning when the Spiritual Qi Tide, in order to quickly improve his Law Technique proficiency.

Then refine three batches of pills to obtain nine Clear Dew Foundation Establishment Pill.

If you include the "buy one get one free" offer, then it's eighteen pieces.

Finally, they arrived at the beach, where Su Li and he enjoyed a meal and chatted around the campfire, thus concluding their day of training.

This quiet and peaceful life lasted for more than twenty days in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Chen even rediscovered some of the feelings he had when he was cultivating diligently in the Southern Domain.

With the help of Azure Jade Lotus Seed, he successfully advanced both the Azure Wave Piercing Bone Needle and the Four Symbols Suppressing Mountain Shield to the minor completion stage.

The former, having accumulated enough experience, was already only slightly behind.

However, due to the short cultivation time, the latter had remained at the Initial Glimpse, which allowed Xiao Chen to experience the powerful effects of the Azure Jade Lotus Seed.

It's no exaggeration to say that using the Azure Jade Lotus Seed was like adding wings to a tiger.

It should be noted that common Cultivation Spiritual Object often provide Spiritual Qi or possess medicinal properties.

Both of these effects help accelerate a cultivator's progress.

However, for Xiao Chen, the former can be replaced by absorbing Spirit Stone, although the cost will be a little more expensive, it doesn't matter.

The latter, because Hextech can accelerate Cultivation Speed, often exhausts the medicinal properties prematurely.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with that.

What others take several hours, or even two or three days, to absorb, he can do in just a short time.

This saves a lot of time, which can be used to do other things.

But the Azure Jade Lotus Seed are different.

This substance increases the activity of a cultivator's Divine Sense and true essence, so it does not involve medicinal effects.

Xiao Chen can cultivate for a full three hours every day!

That is why, in such a short time, he was able to advance the Four Symbols Suppressing Mountain Shield from the Initial Glimpse to the advanced stage, and then from the advanced stage to Slight Accomplishment.

The only thing that Xiao Chen felt was somewhat regrettable was...

After realizing the effects of the Azure Jade Lotus Seed in the first few days, he even planned to go to Universal Salvation Temple to get a few more.

However, it was only later that it was discovered, to everyone's dismay, that this substance, unlike the Spirit Tea, did not have the best effects only on the first drink; subsequent drinks were essentially just for tasting.

However, the effect still diminishes with each dose.

In fact, almost all similar spiritual objects have the same problem.

After consuming more than twenty Azure Jade Lotus Seed over the past few days, Xiao Chen felt that their effects had diminished by half.

It's probably more than half; compared to the first time it was taken, it should have been reduced by more than 60%.

It's just that because it changes every day, it doesn't seem to have decreased by much.

In other words, when Xiao Chen eats the last Azure Jade Lotus Seed, its effect may be reduced to less than 30%.

From a cost-effectiveness perspective, he should stop now.

Give the remaining lotus seeds to other relatives and friends in need, or sell them.

However, since Xiao Chen didn't expect to earn Spirit Stone from this, he naturally didn't plan to keep it to sell.

Secondly, even if only 30% or 20% remains, his 20% is completely different from others.

With the amplification from Hextech, even if only 20% of the effect remains, it is still far more effective than the first use for others.

Therefore, for Xiao Chen, the best and most efficient method is still to eat one seed every day until all the Azure Jade Lotus Seed are consumed.

However, this special situation also gave him an idea.

That means collecting more spiritual items with similar effects to Azure Jade Lotus Seed, and then getting extra Hextech boosts for free.

The Cultivation World is so vast that there must be more than just the Azure Jade Lotus Seed that can increase the activity of a cultivator's Divine Sense and true essence.

In fact, Xiao Chen had seen several kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures with similar effects in Ancient Books from various sects before.

Unfortunately, Fourth-Order Spiritual Item are already few in number, and wild heavenly materials and earthly treasures do not have fixed locations.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it; any spirit creature with a fixed location wouldn't remain now, as it would have already been collected by the author of the book.

Therefore, how many related spiritual items Xiao Chen can find next depends on his luck and personal opportunities.

How long will this take?

Su Li asked expectantly, "Is it also a quick trip back?"

Xiao Chen nodded. "Yes, if all goes well, it should only take a day or two."

Although he very much wanted to stay on the Secluded Doom Island for the full thirty-six days and, incidentally, experience another Moon Eclipse.

But just yesterday, he finally remembered that Zhang Cunfu might have some new orders that needed to be processed.

Even though he ignored the Rebellious Immortal Alliance, they had no choice but to continue trading with him.

However, such delays will undoubtedly affect the efficiency of earning Spirit Stone.

In addition, going there sooner would put Zhang Cunfu at ease, so he wouldn't have to wait anxiously.

Although it had actually been about twenty days before he finally remembered this matter.

There's nothing I can do about it; it's been so long since I've had this kind of immersive practice that I forgot about the less important things.

If it weren't for the fact that we had run out of the one spiritual ingredient we used for alchemy.

This pulled Xiao Chen out of his cultivation state and made him start thinking about purchasing spiritual items.

He might only remember to go to the New Cultivation World again after he has eaten all thirty-six lotus seeds.

"No, we need to take this matter more seriously."

After leaving Secluded Doom Island, Xiao Chen began to consciously mutter to himself, "Not being proactive in making money indicates a problem with his thinking."

"Since we can earn Spirit Stone from the Rebellious Immortal Alliance, we should make more trips."

I read it several times, which made a deep impression on me.

As usual, he found a deserted Desolate Island, then activated the Dimension Sorcerer Emblem to travel through time, arriving once again in that small ravine.

"Huh, are they celebrating the New Year here too?"

As Xiao Chen traveled, he saw many decorations that were clearly related to the New Year festival.

He had noticed before that the seasons on both sides were almost the same, but he didn't expect that even the dates would be so close.

To be honest, it's quite amazing.

Xiao Chen guessed that this might be because both sides were in the Cultivation World, so they had certain similarities.

However, the truth may only be known when his cultivation level increases or when he obtains more relevant information.

Exploring the truth of this world is something that the Spirit Transformation Venerable need to worry about.

As the saying goes, one should not meddle in matters outside one's jurisdiction.

Xiao Chen doesn't need to, and shouldn't, waste his brainpower on these things right now.

Therefore, without giving it much thought, he went straight to Gui Yun Market.

As soon as I arrived, I saw a large crowd gathered at the entrance of the market, looking at the newly posted Wanted Notice.

Xiao Chen also went over to check on the situation.

They discovered that in just over twenty days, a total of six new Wanted Notice had been added to the site.

Five of them were in cahoots; it was said that they had been lying in wait outside the market before the New Year, taking the opportunity to rob the cultivators who were buying New Year's goods.

Many people carry some Spirit Stone with them these days, regardless of whether they buy anything or not.

Therefore, these five people hardly pick and choose their targets, seizing any opportunity that comes their way.

In just eight days, they committed more than forty crimes, harming a total of 124 cultivators.

On average, they robbed five and a half times a day, killing nearly sixteen cultivators.

This caused considerable panic in the vicinity, frightening many low-level Wasteland Rogue Cultivator into not daring to venture out.

However, through the investigation by the market, the origins and names of these five people have been confirmed.

Their physical appearance, cultivation level, and other characteristics have been described and posted here as a warning to the public, and a reward has also been offered.

This is also one of the ruling strategies of the Gui Yun Sect.

Instead of sending people to search for a needle in a haystack, it's better to spend a little Little Qian to have the more capable cultivators among the independent practitioners hunt down the real culprit for them.

In other words, let rogue cultivators fight rogue cultivators.

This last new Wanted Notice is very special.

The text only states that he is a newly emerged Spirit Thief stole a large quantity of spirit medicine and sold them in various places.

There were no other clues.

Since we didn't know his name, we simply gave him the nickname ' Medicine Thief Rat '.

The reward offered is for information about the true identity of the Medicine Thief Rat, or for someone to capture him alive.
