Chapter 214 Return to Peace
"To have such skill and refine so many top-grade Returning Origin Pills, it's highly unlikely to be the work of a rogue cultivator. However, our White Tiger Sect has no grudges against the Chu Kingdom's sects, so this is quite strange."
"We can only strengthen the inspection of pills in the market, after all, this concerns the safety of tens of thousands of White Tiger Sect disciples!" Ye Xiaobai suggested.
"I will make arrangements, and I will also inform the sect disciples that if they have purchased top-grade Guiyuan Pills from the Lingdan Pavilion, they should not take any of these problematic pills!"
After discussing cultivation matters for a while, Ye Xiaobai left.
I've been back at the sect for several days now, but I haven't had time to go back to my cave.
Having been uninhabited for a long time, the cave was still covered in dust and had a faint smell of decay, despite being protected by an array. Ye Xiaobai could only clean it up a little.
After lighting a stick of premium incense, half an hour later, Ye Xiaobai finally lay down peacefully in his cave.
A faint fragrance wafts in, refreshing the mind and relieving the fatigue of many days of travel.
Looking back on the past few days, Ye Xiaobai realized that his biggest gain was the Spirit Rhinoceros Fruit.
It's truly regrettable that Tuntian left.
Carefully take out the Spirit Fruit; its captivating purple glow and refreshing aroma make it irresistible to swallow immediately.
The Spirit Rhinoceros Fruit cannot be preserved for too long. Ye Xiaobai plans to refine the Spirit Rhinoceros Fruit after he has recovered to his best condition.
With this Spirit Rhinoceros Fruit, Ye Xiaobai guessed that he could gain a deeper understanding of the cultivation technique he was currently practicing.
Three days later, after Ye Xiaobai had adjusted his condition, he began to formally refine the Spirit Rhinoceros Fruit.
Before it entered the mouth, the fruity aroma was still strong. Upon tasting it, a cool sensation emerged, followed by a sweetness that assaulted Ye Xiaobai's taste buds. The sweetness then quickly disappeared, transforming into a warm current that completely entered Ye Xiaobai's body.
Ye Xiaobai quickly mobilized his spiritual power to slowly refine this rare treasure.
Two days later, as the Spirit Rhinoceros Fruit within his body was completely refined, Ye Xiaobai felt a strange power surge into his mind, which he couldn't quite grasp at the moment, so he could only study it later.
The Spirit Fruit is supposed to improve physical condition and enhance comprehension, but Ye Xiaobai didn't feel anything at all.
Ye Xiaobai immediately began to circulate his kung fu and was immediately surprised. He realized that he had gained a new understanding of the kung fu. It was only at the beginner level before, but after studying it a little, he had reached the minor success level. He felt that he would be able to enter the major success level soon.
Unexpectedly, the Spirit Fruit significantly improved his comprehension, and Ye Xiaobai was immediately excited, quickly becoming engrossed in cultivation.
Over the next month, Ye Xiaobai successfully mastered the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Technique. He vaguely sensed a trace of the thoughts in the mind of the person who created the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Technique.
Perhaps he thought the same thing back then.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaobai was unable to calm his excited heart for a long time.
If one can achieve some resonance with the founder of the cultivation method, the cultivation will naturally be twice as effective with half the effort.
When Ye Xiaobai had almost finished cultivating the Five Elements Primordial Technique, he clearly felt that his cultivation speed had increased several times over.
Compared to the cultivation speed of those with three elemental roots, it's not much slower.
If Ye Xiaobai were to cultivate the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Technique to perfection, he would feel that his cultivation speed would be comparable to that of a Heavenly Spiritual Root.
Ye Xiaobai continued practicing the One Breath Smells a Thousand Miles Technique.
After practicing the Five Elements Primordial Technique for a period of time, Ye Xiaobai tried the One Breath Smells a Thousand Miles Away technique.
As expected, we gained a lot again.
His proficiency, which was originally at the beginner level, has now reached the minor proficiency level. His olfactory perception range has increased by more than 100 miles. More importantly, and even more surprisingly, Ye Xiaobai feels that he can identify more kinds of smells.
It used to be able to identify about five thousand scents, but now it feels like it could identify ten thousand scents without any problem.
If this skill were to be fully mastered, it could probably detect 100,000 different scents, truly making it as sensitive as a dog's nose.
Ok?
What is the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard doing now?
Ye Xiaobai suddenly smelled a strange odor.
During Ye Xiaobai's seclusion, the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard was also left aside to cultivate properly, and now the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard has reached the late stage of the seventh rank.
However, it seems that he has recently encountered a bottleneck, and his cultivation progress has slowed down.
At this moment, the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard was playing outside the cave, disguised as a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.
Ye Xiaobai appeared next to the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard in a flash.
"Zishan, what are you doing? Why do you smell strange?" Ye Xiaobai asked curiously.
"N-nothing... I didn't do anything." Zishan stammered nervously.
"Trying to fool me? Why does it smell like roasted meat, or even roasted black antelope?" Ye Xiaobai retorted.
"You didn't steal the black antelopes raised by the other disciples and roast them for food, did you?" Thinking of this, Ye Xiaobai immediately shouted.
"Hehe, I still couldn't hide it from my master. But I bought it with spirit stones, I didn't steal it!" Zishan chuckled and explained.
"I gave you spirit stones to cultivate, but you used them to buy meat!" Upon hearing Zishan's explanation, Ye Xiaobai was immediately furious.
"These low-grade spirit stones have too little spiritual power, making cultivation too slow! I might as well buy meat to eat!" Zishan couldn't help but complain.
"Fine, fine, I'm giving you free spirit stones to cultivate, and you're still complaining!" Ye Xiaobai was so angry that he was about to teach Zishan a lesson.
"That's not how it is, Master. Don't you feel that your own cultivation is progressing slowly?" Zishan quickly reminded him.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaobai suddenly realized that what Zishan said made a lot of sense. He had been cultivating with the help of pills and low-grade spirit stones, but now the spiritual power content of the low-grade spirit stones was indeed not keeping up with his cultivation progress.
If I were to use mid-grade or high-grade spirit stones, my cultivation speed would definitely increase significantly!
If I had top-grade spirit stones, I'd dare to dream of reaching the Nascent Soul stage.
However, top-grade spirit stones are extremely rare; it is difficult to find even one in a typical spirit vein.
Ye Xiaobai can only dream about it now.
Then, he gave Zishan some spirit stones so that it could continue its cultivation.
At present, Ye Xiaobai's primary task is to improve his strength. He can wait and not worry about his cultivation level. However, after going out for a while, Ye Xiaobai realized that his attack methods were lacking.
It was all thanks to Tuntian's intervention that the problem was solved; he himself was just a decoration, completely useless.
Enhance attack methods! Enhance attack methods!
In terms of cultivation techniques, Ye Xiaobai is still at the advanced level of the Profound rank and hasn't encountered a suitable Earth rank technique yet, so there's nothing he can do for the time being. He can only wait until he finds one in the future.
However, after forming the Golden Core, his mastery of spiritual power entered a new stage, allowing him to mobilize more of the elemental spiritual power in the air. Ye Xiaobai felt that this was the direction for his next stage of intensive training.
As for magical artifacts, although Ye Xiaobai has obtained quite a few, their power is limited. If he could refine his own natal magical artifact with suitable materials, his attack strength would be much higher.
This is something we need to pay more attention to in the future.
Time flies when you're in spiritual practice; another three months have passed.
Everything returned to calm within the sect, and nothing happened.
During this period of seclusion, Ye Xiaobai cultivated his sword technique to the highest level. With his skillful control over the fire attribute in the air, the power of this high-level Xuan-rank technique was comparable to that of the early Earth-rank technique.
If Ye Xiaobai were to encounter that female cultivator in black again at this moment, he certainly wouldn't let her escape.
The matter of the Supreme Returning Origin Pill wouldn't be like it is now, with no news at all.
As the saying goes, it's not the thief you should fear, but the one who has his eye on you.
There's always someone who wants to harm you, but you don't know who it is—that's the scariest thing.
Ye Xiaobai felt that things wouldn't stay peaceful like this forever; that black-clad female cultivator would definitely make another move.
A few days later, the peaceful days were shattered again!
