"But this Xiao is different from others. Not only is the Nascent Soul within this Xiao's body formless, but... this Xiao's Primordial Spirit is already complete. If this Xiao followed the cultivation method's records and left a Nascent Soul imprint within the Nascent Soul, there was no guarantee that the imprint could form a complete Primordial Spirit. Even if it succeeded, why would this Xiao leave the ready-made green-robed Xiao Hua unused and instead employ a Primordial Spirit that still needed nurturing?"
"If that was the case, then this Xiao's path differed from Senior Canglangzi's... and even from Du Shanjun's. Senior Canglangzi's pill would probably be of no use either!"
"Moreover, this Xiao's alchemy was not inferior to anyone's. As long as the spirit herbs were complete, this Xiao could even refine third-grade spirit pills.

As though rainwater were washing over it, a layer of strange cloud patterns emerged on a distant stone
