248: A single move can affect the whole body!

Lu Hao had hit walls repeatedly in collecting Materials these past few years; he had long been suppressing a ball of fire!

After conversing with Senior Guo, he had a clue—Dan Ding should not be the one obstructing him.

His attainments in the Dao of Alchemy were far from reaching the level to challenge the title of Supreme Great Grandmaster!

Furthermore, if Dan Ding wanted to stop him, why act so friendly at the Alchemy Conference?

Therefore, someone must be directing him from behind the scenes.

Who was it? Originally, he only slightly suspected Xuan Hongxue. Since Guo Yongsi survived, there was no reason Xuan Hongxue couldn't survive.

But ever since Lu Hao saw this Spirit-Breaking Heavenly Origin Pill, he was basically certain in his heart that this woman was the one obstructing him from behind.

She was afraid that he would achieve the rank of a Ninth-Grade Alchemist and thereby snatch away the Origin of the Dao of Alchemy.

That was why she targeted him at every turn, while she herself must be constantly plotting to take this Medicinal Pill.

Because this Medicinal Pill was refined using her method of sacrificial Alchemy, if Xuan Hongxue were to refine it again now, the Origin of the Dao of Alchemy would still recognize her.

And thereby be mastered by her!

Dan Ding was merely the one kept in the dark.

Hearing the dialogue between the two, Dan Ding's mind became even more chaotic...

He was indeed trying every possible means to stop Lu Hao, but it was for his own path in the Dao of Alchemy...

And wasn't this matter something his master told him to do? Why did it sound so strange??

Hearing Lu Hao's words that showed absolutely no sign of backing down, Xuan Hongxue was almost enraged to death!

"Lu Hao! Since it has come to this, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Xuan Hongxue's face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water. She turned to look at Dan Ding and shouted loudly:

"Dan Ding! Quickly break these 100,000 Formation Restrictions for me!"

"Huh?"

Dan Ding was also greatly shocked!

How did this Xuan Hongxue know that he had secretly dispatched a large number of experts to study the Formation Restrictions?

What was going on?

Seeing that Dan Ding did not react, the woman directly emitted a wisp of the aura of the Dao of Alchemy. This immediately left Dan Ding terrified.

"Ma... Master?! You are Master?! How is this possible?! Wasn't Master a man?"

"You idiot! That was my Clone!"

Xuan Hongxue rebuked angrily!

Lu Hao also stared at Dan Ding with a calm expression and said indifferently:

"Old Mister Dan, I will give you one more chance. Do not be deceived by those with ulterior motives."

Dan Ding's expression was changing rapidly...

The look on his face was incredibly complex. After previous events, he could feel that he had likely been used by his master...

But the guidance his master had given him on the Dao of Alchemy over these years was also real. If not for her guidance, it would be hard for him to have become the only Peak Great Grandmaster of the Dao of Alchemy in Danling State.

So, there was no other way; he could only apologize to Brother Lu. Dan Ding looked at Lu Hao and said slowly:

"Lu Hao, perhaps what you say is true. I was indeed used, but this is my master. Her kindness in guiding me is real. I am sorry!"

"Attack with full force! Break the 100,000 Formation Restrictions!"

As soon as Dan Ding's voice fell, thirty-two experts of the Yuán Xū Realm suddenly appeared among the onlookers below!

These were the Cultivators Dan Ding had sent over the years to break these 100,000 Formation Restrictions. Some were Cultivators from the Ancient Pill Sect itself, and some were from the Wuji Pavilion.

The people from the other two major Sects watching from the sidelines understood immediately upon seeing this situation.

No wonder the strength of the Ancient Pill Sect had been declining all these years!

It turned out that all these Yuán Xū experts had been sent here to study these 100,000-fold Formation Restrictions.

Dan Ding looked at the thirty-two Cultivators with determination and ordered:

"Break the Formation Restrictions!"

The moment Dan Ding's words fell, about half of the thirty-two Cultivators rushed out and headed straight for the Formation Restrictions.

Their hands actually began to constantly weave seals, and various different incantations shot into the 100,000-fold Formation Restrictions at an extremely fast speed.

In just a short moment, nearly a hundred Formation Restrictions were broken!

This speed was indeed astonishing, and it was the result of the Ancient Pill Sect's efforts over these years.

Dan Ding had paid a huge price, promising each of them an Eighth-Grade Peak Medicinal Pill to let them lurk here and slowly crack the Formations one layer at a time.

But in reality, these people had not finished breaking all the Formations yet; they were only exposed because of the variable that was Lu Hao!

If they had been given another hundred years, they might have broken seventy or eighty thousand layers by then, and the remaining twenty or thirty thousand layers of Formation Restrictions would not have been able to stop their combined attack.

Seeing the rapidly breaking Formation Restrictions, Xuan Hongxue could not help but be overjoyed, but she quickly turned back to look at the group that had not moved and said coldly:

"Why aren't you attacking?"

Dan Ding also added:

"Hurry, attack together, quickly break the Formation Restrictions you have already successfully mastered!"

Hearing the questioning from Xuan Hongxue and Dan Ding, the remaining dozen or so people did not move. One of the leaders said:

"When we came, the Elder specifically instructed that we could study them, but we were not to attack until we received his order."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Hongxue practically exploded.

"What did you say?! That Lu Hao is refining right now! If he succeeds, what will happen to our plan?"

Just then, a group of people suddenly appeared in the distance, rushing toward this place at high speed.

"A bunch of idiots! Handle special cases specially, hurry up and break the Formation Restrictions!"

The person who arrived shouted, and the remaining dozen or so people, hearing this, said nothing and silently went to break the Formation Restrictions.

With the addition of this group, the 100,000-fold Formation Restrictions were being broken at an even faster speed.

The person who arrived was none other than Hu Mingda!

Originally, he had arrived in Danling State a month ago, and after he paid a huge price, that Dao Grade Magic Treasure, the Heavenly Source Spirit Gourd, was finally refined.

Hu Mingda brought the Magic Treasure to Danling State immediately, but he did not tell anyone; instead, he told Pang Gaoming that he still needed some time to arrive!

Because setting up the Heavenly Source Spirit Gourd required time, he had been setting it up in Danling State the whole time.

Pang Gaoming was the Clone that Xuan Hongxue had cultivated using secret techniques to act on her behalf, while her true body had been sleeping under the Danyang Ancient Region.

Her situation was actually not much different from Guo Yongsi's. Although she had not turned into a remnant soul, her Lifespan had been damaged because she had suffered too severe an injury back then.

Being able to hold on until now had already cost an unknown amount of Heaven And Earth Treasure!

Her only hope was to successfully master the Origin of the Dao of Alchemy!

As long as she could master the Origin of the Dao of Alchemy, the predicament she was currently facing would be easily resolved.
