Retaliation Was Still Swift

For cultivators of the Yin-Yang School Nine Heavens Sect, consuming pills is as natural as eating and drinking.

Zhang Xuezhou's philosophy also recognizes that spiritual practice is a way of progress that requires replenishing energy.

These energies may be acquired through gradual cultivation and refinement, or obtained through direct and corresponding supply.

Once the method is found, the elixir can eliminate the need for the arduous process of accumulation.

Unlike diligent study and practice, the motivation generated by ingesting elixirs is more forceful. If one lacks the ability to utilize it or constantly adapts to it over the years, it can easily lead to the energy exceeding one's own capacity and becoming uncontrollable.

However, there are also potential problems such as the body's adaptation to the elixirs, drug resistance, and the accumulation of drug toxicity.

While it may seem like simply consuming pills to quickly master the Technique Method, reaching Zhang Xuezhou's standards is not easy.

In Zhang Xuezhou's current knowledge, only Divine Lord Zhenyuan possesses similar physical conditions to him.

"A physical technique at the Sole Self Realm is quite interesting!"

Qi and Blood and blood, as well as Law Power, vary, and the effects of physical body refinement techniques also differ.

Brother Tathagata's physical body is exceptionally powerful, capable of uprooting trees several meters long and sweeping them across. Zhang Xuezhou's physical body cannot normally achieve this level, but Zhang Xuezhou feels that his physical body's ability to resist the erosion of Technique Method might be superior.

He stared at his body, and saw a purple halo occasionally floating across his skin.

If his body were struck by some kind of Technique Method, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the power of the Technique Method would inevitably be resisted or even eliminated, making it difficult for it to erode his body.

This ability overlaps with the abilities of avoidance techniques such as the Water Avoidance Instruction and the Fire Avoidance Instruction, but it also enhances the ability to resist Technique Method. Zhang Xuezhou is quite satisfied with this.

"A total of 113 low-grade Law Power Creation Pills, 42 mid-grade Creation Pills, and 3 top-grade Life Creation Pills were consumed. If we want to advance the Physical Body Technique to the True Self Realm level, it may require more than a thousand pills, or even higher-standard pills!"

Zhang Xuezhou had only just advanced his physical body technique to the Sole Self Realm, and he hadn't deliberately accumulated the pills needed for the True Self Realm.

For him, Zhang Xuezhou was already very satisfied that he had reached the current level of cultivation in just over a year.

He used up a lot of pills, but he didn't deliberately try to take the new emperor's share. After all, he was enjoying it himself, while the new emperor was going to lead a group of people to rise up.

"It's a rare opportunity to use a furnace like Qin Furnace No. 8, which allows for rapid mass production, to nurture elixirs. It's time to take them out and return to Chang'an City!"

After practicing in the Alchemy Chamber, Zhang Xuezhou glanced at the embers beneath the Pill Furnace, now reduced to white ash, and realized that he had exceeded the allotted time for practicing the physical body technique.

Normally, he should have already returned to reality by now, and then attempted to transport Changkong Yinghao and the others through the distortion.

He couldn't immediately determine how many days he had spent practicing his physical body technique, but it shouldn't have reached the maximum time required to delay the time travel period.

"Found an amazing item!"

Although he didn't perform any more shamanistic rituals, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but silently recite the mantra before slowly opening the Pill Furnace.

He gasped as he saw the grayish-white powder.

But as the stretching continued, and the loosened pills came into view, Zhang Xuezhou felt there was still hope, and his heart even held a glimmer of expectation.

"One?"

The pills were continuously pulled towards the central area, Zhang Xuezhou could only see piles of pills collapsing loosely.

At the very center, a dull, grayish-white pill sat at its core.

"So many pills were broken and turned into low-grade medicine?"

The forms of top-grade, high-grade, medium-grade, and low-grade pills are all different. The pill in the very center of the Pill Furnace undoubtedly meets the characteristics of a low-grade pill. Zhang Xuezhou felt that the greater his expectations, the greater his disappointment.

He reached out and grabbed the worthless pill, intending to stuff it into the porcelain bottle, only to find that the pill he held was two parts heavier than other similar pills.

This made him examine it carefully several times.

"Even after eating and drinking my fill, I still didn't get a top-grade pill. This was quite a waste of medicinal herbs. But piecing things together is never easy to produce pills, so failure isn't hard to understand!"

Having successfully produced six batches of Law Power Creation Pills, Zhang Xuezhou didn't pay much attention to the seventh batch of pills that he had pieced together and refined.

He quickly packed up, intending to wait a few days until he was safe before riding the Sky Shuttle to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to Heaven with the new emperor, thus legitimizing his cultivation of magic.

After opening the locked Alchemy Chamber, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but stretch.

But his expression quickly changed.

He's there!

A low, familiar voice came, and Zhang Xuezhou felt a gust of wind sweep in. Nine Spirits Primal Sage stepped out from the gust and reached out to grab him.

With a slight tilt of his body, Zhang Xuezhou felt waves rising beneath his feet.

The distance of more than ten zhang flashed by beneath his feet, and Zhang Xuezhou then heard the sound of the side hall door shattering.

"Kid, don't run away, Ninth Master needs to talk to you!"

Nine Spirits Primal Sage muttered something, and Zhang Xuezhou glanced around before spotting Hongku, whose expression was complicated, on Nine Spirits Primal Sage's back.

We were able to find this place so accurately thanks to Hongku's guidance.

Zhang Xuezhou gestured downwards towards Hongku, Hongku opened his mouth but remained silent for a moment.

"Come to Chang'an City if you dare!"

With his cloud-riding technique and the ability to use both speed and slowness, Zhang Xuezhou evaded the Nine Spirits Primal Sage's grasp with extreme ease and naturalness.

He looked at the Nine Spirits Primal Sage, whose body was still ten feet tall, and did not engage in a direct fight with him, nor did he bother with the Feathered Guards in Lin Yuan who had not yet grown up.

With a flash, Zhang Xuezhou stepped into the air, dozens of meters high. He waved to the Nine Spirits Primal Sage, signaling that if the other party had the ability, he could come over and let him use the Demon-Revealing Demon-Revealing Mirror to examine him.

"Lu Ya has already gone to Chang'an City. You dare to try flying there if you dare!"

Nine Spirits Primal Sage shouted, and Zhang Xuezhou, unable to discern the truth, didn't dare rush towards Chang'an City for a moment.

He leaped forward, then continued to ascend higher and higher into the sky.

Daojun's revenge was swifter than Zhang Xuezhou had imagined. Even after making numerous assumptions, Zhang Xuezhou had not anticipated it would be so fast.

Hongku didn't take long to return with the five hundred pills, and Zhang Xuezhou even began to doubt his assessment of Daojun's injuries.

"Kid, Ninth Master isn't that capable. Chasing you is effortless for me; I could chase you to the ends of the earth without any problem!"

Zhang Xuezhou attempted to fly higher and increase the distance, thereby causing the Nine Spirits Primal Sage to lose sight of him and become difficult to track.

But his plan was clearly seen through.

The Nine Spirits Primal Sage, known as the King of Beasts, was also skilled in flying, and his agility was quite impressive. He hung effortlessly behind Zhang Xuezhou.

"I heard from Feiyu that your flying skills are comparable to his. At that level, you can't shake me off. If it weren't for carrying this poor guy who was pointing the way, I would have caught you by now!"

Seemingly prepared, Nine Spirits Primal Sage kept relaying messages.

Zhang Xuezhou was about to show the Nine Spirits Primal Sage his true flying skills, but ultimately forced himself to suppress the thought.

His body swayed, and then he tumbled and fell to the ground.

Not far below, Yangling came into view.

He didn't want to get entangled with the Nine Spirits Primal Sage any longer, so he chose to enter a filthy place.

Yangling wasn't exactly Zhang Xuezhou's home turf, but few cultivators were willing to be tainted by its malevolent Sha Qi. Even the Venerable One only entered using an avatar and disliked the place, avoiding Yangling like the plague.

Nine Spirits Primal Sage was willing to cooperate with Daoist Lord to stand up for him, but Zhang Xuezhou didn't believe that the other party was so loyal as to follow him into a latrine.

He was familiar with the traps and mechanisms of Yangling, and he used many of his abilities to enter its depths. Even if the Nine Spirits Primal Sage had the ability to sneak in, Zhang Xuezhou would still have a chance to make him suffer a loss.

Once he weakens the Nine Spirits Primal Sage, it will be easy for him to get rid of his opponent.
