Lu Xiaotian could not be bothered to interfere in ordinary vendettas between cultivators; nor could he possibly handle them all. But he happened to know the family surrounded before him. They were the very family that had sold him the Seven-Star Formation. Running into them here was quite a coincidence. By the looks of it, the bald old man was seriously injured.
A thought stirred in Lu Xiaotian's heart. The Primordial Unity Scripture mentioned a Five-Element Formation Pellet, along with annotations on Five-Element Formations. He had read them several times, but he had never dabbled in formations before. The Five-Element Formation was also obscure and difficult to understand, and after failing to make sense of it several times, he had set it aside for the time being. He had planned to find someone knowledgeable in formations to ask about it someday. Yet he had too many matters to attend to, including searching dangerous places for spiritual materials, and he had never encountered a suitable formation master. If someone versed in formations could explain the art to him, it would undoubtedly be far easier than studying it by himself.
Formations were like alchemy, except the path of formations required a good master even more than alchemy did. Even with alchemy, if he had not possessed the barrier, allowing him to continuously ripen all kinds of spiritual materials and repeatedly refine the same pill dozens or even hundreds of times, then given his previous success rate in alchemy, he would have gone bankrupt long ago. He probably would not even have reached Qi Refining Great Perfection by now. He would have spent this entire life muddling about in the Qi Refining stage. In a place as brutally harsh as the cultivation world, even finding a little peace would likely have been difficult.
