Divine Brilliance

600 blood cloud cavalry could sweep the battlefield. 1 thousand of them could make him undefeatable against sects like the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect.

In a year, to be able to gather up 500 blood cloud cavalry soldiers was pretty good. With the prosperity of Gantian Mountain today, in just 5-6 years they would be able to reach a thousand. Considering the spiritual wave, the time needed might be even reduced.

Zong Shou was still a little unwilling to give up, asking with some hope in his heart, “100 thousand? There can’t be more? If I let people throw some more beasts down here, can you refine more pills?”

When she heard his words, Xuanyuan Yiren gazed at him like she was looking at an idiot, “That is possible. However, even grade 6 beasts will need at least 7 years to be able to reject the poison of the spirit salamander essence blood.”

Zong Shou frowned, following which he sighed and knew that his state of mind was already unbalanced. He didn’t think about something that was common knowledge.

However, in the next instant, he heard Xuanyuan Yiren say, “There is a way, directly obtaining the blood from the tail of the spirit salamander. Before this, I investigated that although it is a god beast that was famous for being poisonous, its body shouldn’t be poisonous. I deduced that the blood becomes poisonous after it sees the wind…”

Zong Shou’s eyes lit up like a light bulb had lit up in his head. He knew that what she meant by seeing the wind was after the blood of the spirit salamander came into contact with the air.

Xuanyuan Yiren was halfway through her words before she frowned, “I don’t think it can work. Even if we can take its blood we won’t be able to use it to make pills. Legend had it that the spirit salamander was at the saint realm and still remains in the world. Even one broken tail holds huge intent. When taking its blood, if you can’t purify it, you would just be asking for trouble.”

Zong Shou stood up. However, when he walked out of the cave he suddenly remembered something, turning around and saying shamelessly, “Oh right! I forgot to mention that 10 days ago I destroyed the physical body of your senior brother.”

When Xuanyuan Yiren heard that she curled her lips to express that she didn’t believe it. Zong Shou was just a Return to Sun spirit master so how could he be the opponent of her senior brother who had reached grade 7 several years ago?

However, a moment later when she looked at the extremely serious look on Zong Shou’s face, she recalled that on Xuan Mountain Zong Shou had merged spirit and martial arts, king path techniques, borrowing the strength of Wei Xu to defeat a grade 8 expert. Her eyelids jumped and asked in shock, “you destroyed it?”

Zong Shou didn’t reply, just seriously nodding his head. Xuanyuan Yiren instantly took in a deep cold breath, following which she opened her mouth and asked, “Then do you feel guilty about anything?”

“No!” Zong Shou shook his head, “Your senior brother worked with Han Nishui and Long Ruo to try to kill me. In the end, together with Long Ruo, I destroyed all their physical bodies…”

Li Yuandan’s one was strictly speaking destroyed by Dragon Shadow old man. However, Zong Shou didn’t want Xuanyuan Yiren to turn her head to Dragon Shadow.

When they heard the names Han Nishui and Long Ruo, the expressions of the 3 girls in the cave couldn’t help but change.

Xuanyuan Yiren shook her head, “Then it is his fault, you did nothing wrong. My senior brother often craves for credit and is a schemer, unlike a real man. This time getting some punishment is a good thing. If his body is destroyed then so be it. After returning to the sect, I will seek the elders and teachers to ask them to distinguish between right and wrong.”

Following which she didn’t speak, a look of worry appeared on her petite face.

Seeing that, Zong Shou laughed, knowing that this little girl didn’t have any intention of blaming him.

As for this Pill Fountain sect, if not for Yiren, he really wouldn’t care about it. Even without the blood cloud cavalry, the current Gantian Mountain was enough to go against it.

Once again driving the sword into the air and charging into the dense mist. This time he directly headed for the center of the canyon.

Chuxue, Ruoshui, and Xuanyuan Yiren followed closely behind. Xue’er could actually drive artifacts to travel but she was wobbly and nearly fell to the ground. Relying on Ruoshui’s support such that she didn’t fall.

100 miles of distance was covered in a blink of an eye. In just 8 minutes they saw that the white mist slowly turned to blood color and the deeper they went in the thicker the blood mist got.

It also had the ability to mess with the mind, causing one to unknowingly move away.

There was also a strong and vast intent which charged down. Yiren and the others could follow at the start but in the end, they could only land on the ground and start to walk instead.

Zong Shou was comfortable with it, traveling swiftly, his speed not reducing at all. When he estimated that he reached the center of the canyon, he cast out a spell, instantly a wind blew and pushed aside the mist.

Following which he saw a giant stone pillar stretching 5 thousand feet, so thick it could huge a hundred people.

It was a pillar-shaped, sharp at the bottom and wide at the top, the tip of the tail sticking deep into the ground. Around it, there was scale looking pieces of stone.

At the top, there was an extremely clean fracture point like it was cut by a knife. Occasionally a blood-colored liquid will pop out and the moment it came into contact with the air he would bubble and boil, shooting out smoke which spread out.

Not far away from here, roughly ten miles out there was a cave which a mist bubbled out of. Apart from large amounts of vapor, it was the special black mist unique to the abyss below.

“That’s the tail of the spiritual salamander!”

Xuanyuan Yiren stood 8 thousand feet out before she stopped. Although it was just a piece of broken tail, after ten thousand years the vast intent was still able to crush everything.

That place was already the limit for Xuanyuan Yiren as she can only look on in the distance. However, her eyes were filled with shock.

Although the few of them had been killing beasts all around the canyon this month, they didn’t know where the broken tail of the spirit salamander was. At this moment by following Zong Shou closely they finally managed to see it.

Zong Shou didn’t say a word, flying into the air above this broken cliff. Looking down, to see the top of the smooth stone pillar, although it seeped out a fresh red liquid, it had an extremely smelly scent, obvious that it was filled with poison.

This was something he had expected, he had an idea and called that fire yin sword to the front of his body.

A few talismans buffed the sword body, following which he sliced down below.

Following which the nine dragon shadows appeared behind his back and roared out. The lightning winged flood dragon showed itself. His body shook, his soul leaving his body and going into that fire yin sword.

It was actually like an artifact spirit, causing the aura of the sword to explosively increase.

“Keng!”

A heavy blow, when the sword and rock clashed, numerous sparks arose. That fire yin sword which could rival grade 2 magical treasures could only slice out a small thin white mark before it was forced back by a giant strength.

The vast intent within the stone pillar swelled up and recoiled out by itself.

Zong Shou’s body instantly shook, nearly face-planting towards the ground, his head was filled with bean-sized beads of cold sweat.

This was a saint realm intent! Just this small portion of the broke tail, one strike, and his soul nearly collapsed!

He took in a few deep breaths, grabbing a few pills and swallowing them.

After a few breaths passed did he managed to recover a little. He didn’t hesitate to slice out once more!

Only to hear a low clash, still, sparks appeared, causing that white mark to become a little deeper.

Then one sword followed another after every sword Zong Shou would feel that it would get a little tougher.

His soul ocean whirlpool nearly collapsed under this strong pressure. Luckily during the 7th sword, the nine-story pagoda gave out yellow light, pressing down onto his soul.

Relentlessly continuing until the 13th sword landed did the white mark get half a finger deep into the stone. Following which a fresh red liquid seeped out from within.

Zong Shou was delighted, instantly casting a spell to separate the spiritual energy in the air and suck out the fresh spirit salamander blood.

However, when he sucked out the 5th drop, the white mark completely healed and no fresh blood seeped out anymore. The time it took was just 10 breaths.

Zong Shou shook his head, the regeneration ability of the spirit salamander was too overpowered.

Other people knew that this spirit salamander was still alive but he knew that the god beast was in a half-dead half-alive state in space, actually not far away from death. If not he wouldn’t dare to try for the tail.

Even then the power left in the broken tail was still unbelievably strong. This was also with him attacking the wound, if it had scales protecting, even if his fire yin sword broke, he wouldn’t be able to make a cut.

At this moment his consciousness was already sinking and heavy. He didn’t dare to continue, driving his sword up into the air. When he was 40 thousand feet, the sword light couldn’t support him anymore as he fell towards the ground.

Luckily Xuanyuan Yiren and Chuxue were affected by the intent waves and forced to retreat to somewhere nearby. They hurriedly drove into the air and caught Zong Shou, preventing him from being in too bad a state.

Xuanyuan Yiren’s face was green.

“Zong Shou, you are crazy. That’s the spirit salamander!”

When she was ten thousand feet away, the soul suppression made her feel like she about to collapse. As for Zong Shou, he had gone head-on, him not dying was already a miracle.

Zong Shou laughed awkwardly and didn’t reply. After recovering slightly, he placed the thing in his hand ahead of him.

It was the blood of the spirit salamander. Even just now when he was losing consciousness he didn’t forget to use true qi to restraint and block of the spiritual energy and air away from it.

At this moment these few drops of blood looked like they had their own life, their shapes changing continuously.

Xuanyuan Yiren didn’t even bother to take a look, scoffing coldly with an angry face, “I didn’t ask you to exchange it with your life! Furthermore, this is the saint realm intent, there is no way to remove it. Even without poison, it can’t be used to make a pill.”

Zong Shou burst out into a laugh, that heaven swallowing energy conversion technique suddenly activated, with a swallow and purify the few drops of fresh blood changed. They became much more well behaved, their energy was all lost.

At this moment Xuanyuan Yiren’s eyes were filled with disbelief, she could feel that the essence energy within the blood was reduced by a lot and the intent of the spirit salamander had been weakened to the extreme.

If that was the case then it was possible to use it to refine pills. Her brows furrowing in deep thought before she spoke once more.

“If this is the case then I have a method. I can increase the number of spirit salamander blood essence pills to 500 thousand I just need enough grade, 4 pill masters. However I just need 3 drops of this spirit salamander blood, any more is useless…”
