Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

”Don’t be careless, alchemy isn’t easy. To ensure you live without worry, every successful pill you create, I’ll reward you with ten Low-grade Spirit Stones.”

Ling Yuhua wasn’t worried about Ling Xiao being overly greedy, but was more concerned about Ling Xiao failing at alchemy.

So he wanted to create the best conditions for Ling Xiao to practice alchemy.

”Thank you, Clan Leader.”

Ling Xiao naturally wouldn’t refuse.

He didn’t feel any attachment to the Ling Family; he would take as much as he could.

One portion of materials was used to create pills for the Ling Family, and the remaining five portions belonged to him.

He would craft Heavenly Human Marrow Cleansing Pills and Cave Heaven Spirit Pills with a seventy percent perfection for the Ling Family, while crafting pills with a hundred percent perfection for himself; the difference would become more substantial over time.

Ling Yuhua was a person who went his own way, and after the conversation, he personally handed the materials to Ling Xiao, lending him a Storage Ring and a Furnace Cauldron for crafting pills.

Ling Xiao returned to the small courtyard, temporarily entrusted Xiao Wu to Ling Jiaojiao for care.

He planned to leave for a while.

He needed to use Divine Fire for alchemy, which occasionally could be undetected, but when crafting pills, the aura can easily spread and be noticed.

So he had to find a sparsely populated place.

Furthermore, having obtained so many materials, he wanted to take this opportunity to craft better pills for himself, Ling Jiaojiao, and Xiao Wu; he would need to find some materials outside Yuhua Town.

”Rest assured, Ling Xiao, I’ll take good care of Xiao Wu.”

Ling Jiaojiao was a girl whom Ling Xiao trusted, as she was someone who followed through on her words.

”Thank you. But before I leave, I want to help solve your martial skills and cultivation techniques issues; the Ling Family’s cultivation method has serious problems, thus hindering your cultivation speed.”

With your aptitude, it’s possible to cultivate to the Yin-Yang Realm at sixteen years old.”

Ling Xiao stated.

”Are you serious?”

Ling Jiaojiao looked at Ling Xiao with wide eyes. Though Ling Xiao appeared much younger than her, she dared not underestimate him knowing he is a Reincarnation Realm Martial Artist.

Only Martial Artists from the Reincarnation Realm know so many things.

”Trust me, just tell me your martial skills and cultivation techniques.”

Ling Xiao continued.

”I trust you.”

Ling Jiaojiao had no one she could trust before, but now she considered Ling Xiao as the most trustworthy friend.

After saying that, she demonstrated all her martial skills and ran through her cultivation techniques for Ling Xiao to hear.

”Your main sword technique is not suitable for you now; you should choose your previous set of the Thousand Mountain Wind and Rain Sword. Moreover, your cultivation technique should be more extreme.”

You possess a Sword Martial Spirit, so your cultivation technique should focus mainly on attacking. Don’t worry about defense; the sword takes an unexpected path, emphasizing attack. Strong enough attacks will lead to victory!

Attack is your best defense!”

Ling Xiao advised after listening.

”But the Thousand Mountain Wind and Rain Sword is a Gold-grade Low-level sword technique; its power can’t possibly surpass the Yu Pin Low-level sword technique I’m currently practicing. And about the cultivation technique, can I really not need any defense? If I’m unable to defeat my opponent, wouldn’t I surely lose without any defense?”

Ling Jiaojiao asked, confused.

”I defeated the Black Snake Roar with the Falling Star Sword Technique, so I can improve your Thousand Mountain Wind and Rain Sword. As for your defense, those weaker than you don’t require it at all, and those stronger than you cannot be blocked.

It’s simply redundant; better to do without it.

Focusing entirely on attack will make you much stronger than now.”

Ling Xiao explained.

”Okay, I trust you!”

Ling Jiaojiao hesitated briefly, then nodded.

Ling Xiao smiled and then spent a whole shichen improving Ling Jiaojiao’s and Xiao Wu’s martial skills and cultivation techniques.

Only then did he quietly leave the Ling Family, heading to the mountains outside Yuhua Town to gather medicinal materials.

Some medicinal materials simply couldn’t be purchased locally in Yuhua Town; he knew the place well and didn’t bother visiting the pharmacies.

Outside Yuhua Town lay the connecting mountains.

As the land was vast, human habitation actually occupied a small portion, while most places were actually uninhabited mountain ranges and jungles.

This was true for the Tian Long Continent, God Phoenix Continent, White Tiger Continent, and also the Xuanwu Continent.

The mountain range outside Yuhua Town was known as the Western Region Mountain Range.

The Western Region Mountain Range spanned the entire Western Area of Black Tortoise Continent, and many areas were under the jurisdiction of the five major powers, so he had to be cautious.

The moment Ling Xiao stepped into the Western Region Mountain Range, he took a deep breath.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a sense of freedom.

But soon, the beasts in the Western Region Mountain Range brought him back to reality.

In this mountain range, even the weakest beasts were at the Heavenly Man Realm, commonly known as Monster Beasts.

The deeper you go, the more terrifying they become, with Cave Heaven Demonic Beasts and Yin-Yang Monster Beasts appearing.

Ling Xiao didn’t plan to delve deeper; he found a secluded cave on the mountain range’s edge and set up an Array Formation to start crafting pills.

For the Ling Family, he only planned to craft pills with around seventy percent perfection, which was quite simple.

It only took him less than three days to complete them all.

Crafting pills for himself was more troublesome, as he needed to find additional materials.

Out came his Tai Chi Eye, searching for the necessary medicinal materials.

The Western Region Mountain Range was indeed abundant with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, though most were deep inside; even Reincarnation Realm Martial Artists would find it extremely dangerous, making it out of reach for him currently.

But he was not greedy; the materials for the pills he needed were found in the edge area.

Searching for the materials took a whole day.

As he returned to the cave to begin crafting pills for himself and start formal cultivation, he suddenly noticed a fleeting figure through the forest.

After this fleeting figure, there was a group of people following.

The leader was none other than Chen Kun and Ling Moyu!

These two treacherous people who once tried to kill him—could it be that they had pursued him here?

No, it’s not right. They were clearly targeting that fleeting figure.

Ling Xiao didn’t know why these two were chasing the fleeting figure, but since these two were onto something, he had to interfere.

And seeing that fleeting figure, he knew it wasn’t an ordinary being; how could he let it fall into those traitors’ hands?

Now that he had discovered it, naturally, he intended to take it for himself.

With these thoughts, he quietly used the Shadow Step to follow them.

Here in the wilderness, no one would pay attention to him using the Shadow Step.

In the dark forest, the Shadow Step reached its peak effectiveness; even standing next to those martial artists wouldn’t be detected.

However, to ensure caution, he kept a distance from Ling Moyu and Chen Kun, as these two were considerably strong. Being discovered would be a loss.
