Chapter 306: Chapter 306: Eastern Desolate Sunset City

Yang Xiaotian was oblivious to the discussions outside.

He had stayed in Ji Wudi’s cave dwelling for two days and nights, drinking for the entire duration.

The wine from Ji Wudi’s collection had been stored for ten thousand years and its medicinal effects were much stronger than those of Li Zhengqing’s Dragon Ganoderma Soup.

So potent was the wine that it caused Yang Xiaotian’s abnormal fire to run riot within him, smoke billowing from his body.

Stepping out of Ji Wudi’s cave dwelling, Yang Xiaotian heaved a great sigh of relief, as if he had survived a calamitous ordeal.

Learning that Yang Xiaotian was returning to Medicine King Peak, Long Batian, Phoenix Lady and several others came out from a distance to greet him with deep bows.

Looking at Yang Xiaotian, their attitudes had significantly changed. There was increased respect, fear, and admiration. In the past two days, whenever they thought of the scene at Wangtian Peak where Yang Xiaotian consumed the two Divine Elixirs, they felt uncontrollably excited, and even proud.

Indeed, they felt proud to be able to follow Yang Xiaotian.

“Young Master, you’ve returned,” said Phoenix Lady with tender affection, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration.

If one were to talk about beauty, Phoenix Lady was on par with Mu Yunchun, and in terms of status, as the daughter of the Clan Leader of the Phoenix Clan, she even surpassed Mu Yunchun.

Yang Xiaotian nodded and asked the four, “Has anything happened these past two days?”

Long Batian quickly stepped forward, respectfully saying, “During these two days, everyone in the academy has been discussing Young Master’s battle with Wei Zongyuan, and many are speculating about Young Master’s soul ring.”

Phoenix Lady smiled and said, “Now everyone is curious about Young Master’s soul ring. Many are guessing that Young Master’s soul ring could possibly be the legendary one hundred thousand-year soul ring.” After speaking, she gazed intently at Yang Xiaotian.

Long Batian, Li Yutian, and Shi Huang also looked at Yang Xiaotian.

They were equally curious to know whether Yang Xiaotian’s soul ring was indeed one hundred thousand years old.

“One hundred thousand-year soul ring?” Yang Xiaotian laughed, and seeing the curious expressions on the faces of Phoenix Lady and Long Batian, he said with a smile, “You’ll have the chance to see it in the future.”

At that moment, the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor stepped forward and said, “Young Master, the Thousand Buddha Medicine God has been located in Redemption Land, most likely on Thousand Demon Mountain.”

“Thousand Demon Mountain?” Yang Xiaotian frowned.

Redemption Land was a place of exile for the sinful in the Buddha Source, and Thousand Demon Mountain was the most chaotic spot in Redemption Land, with nearly all the great demons gathering there.

“Yes, on the chief peak of Thousand Demon Mountain,” the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor added.

“Alright, I understand,” Yang Xiaotian immediately said and handed over a sacred grade elixir to the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor.

The Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor was overjoyed and thanked Yang Xiaotian profusely.

Afterward, Yang Xiaotian settled down at Medicine King Peak.

He planned to head to the Mu Family in the Eastern Desolate the next day.

Following that, he would enter Redemption Land to search for the cave dwelling of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God.

That night, Yang Xiaotian took out the Azure God Sword Technique secret tome and carefully began to read it.

After going through it once, Yang Xiaotian closed his eyes to recall the details, making sure he had memorized it before starting to review it from beginning to end for a second time.

Only after that did Yang Xiaotian take out the Sword of Azure God to practice the Azure God Sword Technique.

However, as he channeled his True Yuan into the sword and executed the first move “All Things Have Spirits” of the sword technique, suddenly, fine cracks appeared on the blade of the Sword of Azure God.

Seeing the cracks on the blade of the Sword of Azure God, Yang Xiaotian was dumbstruck. Oh my god, could it be?!

The Sword of Azure God, like his Burying Heaven Sword, turned out to be a damaged sword?

Yang Xiaotian felt the urge to ram himself into a mountain.

The Azure Thunder Python and Iceflame Qilin came over and, upon seeing the cracks on the Sword of Azure God, they were speechless too.

“The Sword of Azure God can be repaired, but it requires Innate Divine Iron,” said the Iceflame Qilin. “It will also need to be reforged with a Divine Flame.”

Divine Flame, Yang Xiaotian possessed it; thus, what was lacking now was the Innate Divine Iron.

Yang Xiaotian smiled bitterly. He was still on the lookout for Innate Fine Iron; where was he to find Innate Divine Iron, which was even rarer and more precious?

“The Dwarf Clan of the Hundred Clan Empire should have Innate Divine Iron,” the Azure Thunder Python pondered. “It’s just unknown whether the ancestors of the Dwarf Clan would be willing to part with it.”

The Hundred Clan Empire, huh?

“`

It seems, a visit to the Hundred Clan Empire is indeed necessary.

Subsequently, Yang Xiaotian discovered that cracks only appeared on the blade of the Sword of Azure God when he infused it with his True Yuan. Under normal circumstances, there were no visible cracks on the sword’s blade.

It seems that the damage to the Sword of Azure God is much less than that to the Burying Heaven Sword.

In ordinary conditions, the Sword of Azure God can still be used to practice the Azure God Sword Technique, but it shouldn’t be used in combat. Should it withstand an opponent’s strikes, the cracks in the blade might widen.

Hence, Yang Xiaotian continued to practice the Azure God Sword Technique using the Sword of Azure God.

After practicing the Azure God Sword Technique for a while, it was deep into the night.

Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art.

A night passed.

The next day, Mu Yunchun came early to find Yang Xiaotian.

Today, Mu Yunchun wore a pale red dress, which made her even more charming. Her skin was so delicate it seemed like water could be wrung out of it.

Mu Yunchun walked towards Yang Xiaotian, swaying her round buttocks.

Swinging left.

Swinging right.

Her waist was so slim, it looked as though it might break.

She gazed at Yang Xiaotian with eyes more alluring than those of the Phoenix Lady.

A short while later, Yang Xiaotian left Celestial Burial Academy on the Mu Family’s airship to head for the Eastern Desolate.

As Yang Xiaotian was leaving for the Eastern Desolate, at Sword God Peak of Celestial Burial Academy, Wei Zongyuan stood respectfully before Demon Sky Sword God, bowing deeply: “Master, rest assured!”

“I will definitely cultivate the Unmoving King Sword Body to perfection!”

“I will definitely evolve my Soul Ring to a hundred thousand years!”

“I will definitely defeat Yang Xiaotian!”

Wei Zongyuan’s words were resolute and emphatic.

An ancient secret technique exists that can evolve a Soul Ring, which is infinitely close to a hundred thousand years, to the full hundred thousand years.

Of course, the conditions are extremely stringent, and evolving is incredibly difficult, nearly a nine-in-ten chance of death.

Demon Sky Sword God looked at Wei Zongyuan’s determined eyes and spoke with approval: “Master believes in you.”

“Tomorrow, you will accompany me to the Buddha Source for cultivation.”

“Yes.”

Ten days later.

Yang Xiaotian and Mu Yunchun arrived in the Eastern Desolate.

“Little brother, that’s Sunset City up ahead,” Mu Yunchun pointed at the towering city in the distance.

She stood close to Yang Xiaotian, strands of her captivating scent wafting into his nostrils.

It tickled.

During these ten days, the two had frequent contact on the ship and had grown quite familiar with each other.

Mu Yunchun often came to Yang Xiaotian’s room to brew peach blossom tea for no particular reason.

Now, Yang Xiaotian’s entire body smelled like peach blossom tea.

“Sunset City is the largest trading city in the Eastern Desolate and is also one of the largest trading cities in the Buddha Source Empire,” Mu Yunchun continued. “Many super chambers of commerce established by our Buddha Source Empire have branches in Sunset City.”

“Beyond Sunset City, to the east, is our Mu Family’s Mu City.”

“Oh, one of the largest trading cities in the Buddha Source Empire,” Yang Xiaotian mused, asking, “I wonder if they have Dark Night Dew, Master Tianxian, Octagon Glaze, or any other materials?”

Yang Xiaotian listed several dozen medicinal ingredients.

The blood of Abyssal Masters can be used to refine Soul Pills, which, when consumed during cultivation, can enhance Soul Power. However, the blood of Abyssal Masters alone is not enough to refine Soul Pills; dozens of other rare medicinal ingredients he just mentioned are also needed.
