80: Let you go there in person

"To eat or not to eat?"

Inside the Cultivation Chamber, Liu Xuan picked up a Beast-Rearing Pill to examine it.

The Medicinal Pill was dark red, with a fishy, sweet smell, and wisps of gray Demonic Qi lingering around it.

This thing was crudely refined, relying entirely on the Rank of the monster beast flesh and blood to pile up its effectiveness.

Medicinal Pills for Yao Beasts did not need to be refined so delicately; the Demonic Qi had not even been removed, and the content of pill toxins was likely not low.

Speaking of pill toxins, Liu Xuan had heard that other Cultivators needed to spend time recuperating after taking Medicinal Pills to Cultivate, purifying the remaining pill toxins in their bodies.

It was also not advisable to take the same type of Medicinal Pill for a long time to avoid developing drug resistance.

Liu Xuan ate qi and blood pills like candy, and he continued eating other cultivation Medicinal Pills like qi gathering pills and Yellow Dragon Pills as soon as their effects wore off, yet he had never felt any pill toxins.

With the Kunpeng Swallowing Heaven Body Refining Method, let alone pill toxins, Liu Xuan figured he could refine even straight poison!

As a True Immortal Rank Body Refining Cultivation Technique, the Kunpeng Swallowing Heaven Body Refining Method required devouring vast amounts of qi and blood and Spiritual Qi. His Breakthroughs were not that fast, but its powerful nature was something ordinary Cultivators could not compare to.

"Since that's the case! I should be able to digest this Beast-Rearing Pill, right?"

"Forget it! I'll just eat one and see; anyway, it won't kill me!"

Liu Xuan did not hesitate any longer, put the Medicinal Pill in his mouth, and swallowed it.

Slightly sweet! It was actually quite tasty.

"Hmm?"

A wave of heat spread from his stomach; Liu Xuan's entire body's qi and blood were instantly activated, his heartbeat quickened, and his veins bulged.

"What a powerful kick!"

Liu Xuan felt like he had taken a gulp of strong liquor; his body temperature rose to several dozen degrees, and his breath carried heat.

"Refreshing!!"

Every cell in his entire body transmitted a sense of excitement as its hunger was satisfied.

Half an hour later.

The medicinal power was completely absorbed by his body, his qi and blood gradually calmed down, and the abnormalities on Liu Xuan's body slowly subsided.

Carefully sensing the progress of the Kunpeng Swallowing Heaven Body Refining Method, a look of excitement appeared on Liu Xuan's face.

Cultivating by taking the Beast-Rearing Pill was more than three times as effective as taking qi and blood pills before. If he could consistently take First Rank Medium Grade Beast-Rearing Pills, he would be able to break through to the fifth layer of Body Refining in less than a year.

One year for the fifth layer of Qi Refining, two years for the sixth layer, and in three years he would have a chance to break through to the seventh layer of Qi Refining and reach the Late Qi Refining Stage.

In the Sect, breaking through to the Middle Stage of Qi Refining before the age of twenty-five was considered a Genius, allowing one to join the Inner Sect directly. Liu Xuan, with a Ninth-Grade Spirit Root, reaching the Late Qi Refining Stage before twenty-five...

"I never expected that the most suitable Medicinal Pill for me would actually be one meant for Yao Beasts!"

In this Cultivation World, there were no Body Cultivators, and the most suitable Medicinal Pill for a Martial Artist to Cultivate was the qi and blood pill.

The qi and blood pill had decent effects, but its Rank was too low; it was unranked and couldn't even be considered First Rank Low Grade.

After Liu Xuan broke through to the Middle Stage of Body Refining, the effect of the qi and blood pills was even lower; he could only make up for it with quantity, eating several bottles a day like candy.

Combined with some savage beef and First Rank spirit fish, his cultivation speed was still acceptable.

He had originally planned to just make do for now, and later, when conditions were better, find an Alchemist to specially refine pills that increased qi and blood.

Now it seemed there was no need for that at all; there were ready-made ones on the market.

There were no Body Cultivator Cultivators, but there were plenty of Yao Beasts and Spirit Beasts; they were the purest Body Cultivators!

The Sect's Spirit Plant Hall had quite a few Beast Taming Cultivators, so presumably, they also had Medicinal Pills used for the growth of Yao Beasts.

Adjusting his breath and ending his cultivation, Liu Xuan went out, preparing to go into the city to see if there were any suitable Medicinal Pills for sale.

...

Yongning Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

"Greetings, Pavilion Master!"

"Greetings, Pavilion Master!"

When Liu Xuan arrived, the shop Disciples stepped forward to greet him one after another. Everyone felt three parts curiosity, three parts awe, three parts envy, and one part jealousy and disdain toward their superior.

Nodding casually, Liu Xuan paid no attention to their gazes and headed straight to the second floor.

The Yongning Hundred Treasures Pavilion was an industry of the Dual Cultivation Hall; Liu Xuan, as the Pavilion Master, was effectively a general manager.

Besides him, there was a Shopkeeper, three Deputy Shopkeepers, and several Stewards.

The Shopkeeper was named Xiao Jing, a Cultivator at the Late Qi Refining Stage. This person was free-spirited and unrestrained, fond of music, fine food, fine wine, and novel things...

"Liu Xuan, you're here. Come quickly and taste this Green Grain Wine I had someone buy for me from the Peach Blossom Sect."

Seeing Liu Xuan arrive, Xiao Jing immediately invited him warmly. Because they shared similar interests, the two had shared a few drinking sessions together.

"When you first taste this wine, it has a faint bitterness, but if you savor it carefully, it can actually make one recall fond memories and stir up emotions. It is truly marvelous!"

He poured a cup for Liu Xuan and looked at him expectantly, hoping for affirmation.

Liu Xuan picked up the wine glass, drank it in one gulp, and then frowned slightly.

"How is it?"

Xiao Jing asked.

"Not bad! It is indeed good wine."

Liu Xuan said perfunctorily.

He didn't feel any stirring of emotions; he only felt a bitter taste, which was extremely unpleasant to drink.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Liu Xuan brought up his business, "Brother Xiao, does our Hundred Treasures Pavilion have any Medicinal Pills suitable for the growth of Yao Beasts?"

Xiao Jing was a member of the Xiao Family. As a Shopkeeper, he didn't need to do any menial tasks; his main duties were auditing accounts and supervising to prevent internal corruption.

The Hundred Treasures Pavilion had all sorts of strange items, and Xiao Jing knew best exactly what they had.

"Medicinal Pills for Yao Beast growth?"

Xiao Jing pondered for a moment and shook his head, "We have some Medicinal Pills for daily consumption by Yao Beasts, but none suitable for their growth."

He looked at Liu Xuan and asked, "Little Brother Liu, are you looking to raise a Spirit Beast?"

"If you are raising a Spirit Beast, the Sect's Spirit Plant Hall has Beast Spirit Pills, Beast Rearing Pills, and Spirit Beast Bone Strengthening Pills, which are all quite suitable."

"If you need them, I will instruct the Disciples in charge of transporting goods to bring some over for you."

Liu Xuan cupped his hands, "Many thanks, Brother Xiao!"

"It's a small matter!"

Xiao Jing waved his hand and then began to introduce the Green Grain Wine again, "Little Brother Liu, you drank too quickly just now and didn't experience the true charm of this wine."

He poured another cup for Liu Xuan, "Come, come, come, have another cup, you will definitely be able to experience its wonders!"

Liu Xuan drank three cups in a row, but until he took his leave, he never experienced any wonders, leaving Xiao Jing with a look of disappointment.

...

Returning to Liu Mansion.

She Xiaorong found Liu Xuan in a hurry, "Young Master, something has happened at White Crane Lake!"

"Oh?"

She Xiaorong was capable and efficient in her work; this was the first time Liu Xuan had seen her show a panicked expression.

"What happened?"

Senior Sister Xiao Ran, who was at the Qi Refining Perfection, was stationed at White Crane Lake. Liu Xuan was curious about what could have happened.

Xiao Ran was not an ordinary Qi Refining Perfection Cultivator; she was a Qi Refining Perfection Cultivator with a Golden Core True Person as a grandfather, which was at least equivalent to half a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Plus, she had a Second Rank cloud-breaking flying boat and an army of thousands from the Law Enforcement Team; ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators wouldn't dare to provoke her easily.

"The situation is this: the Luo Family is leading the responsibility of raising spirit fish at White Crane Lake. There hadn't been any problems until half a month ago, when a Late Qi Refining Stage Mysterious Snake suddenly appeared in the lake and started eating the fish fry."

"The Luo Family head, Luo Yun, immediately organized manpower to kill the Yao Beast, but every time the Mysterious Snake hid under the Formation at Lake Heart Island, they couldn't do anything about it!"

"Just this? Why not ask the Law Enforcement Team for help, or just have them open the Formation?" Liu Xuan said.

"They already asked!"

She Xiaorong looked at Liu Xuan with a strange expression, "I heard that Senior Sister Xiao gave word that she would only be willing to help if you go there personally."
