Chapter 1180 - Seizing the Core

Although the protective array looked intact, as the masters of the Stellar Cliffs, Mo Ya and Chi Xing, still checked over the array thoroughly the moment the collision occurred. Only when they found that there were no damage to the array base, did they relax, and some of the damaged array nodes were able to recover on their own, and when the array nodes recovered, the small array formation that was initially embedded in the third array was erased, so there were no traces of it sneaking in again.

Within that dimensional realm, the first thing Yang Junshan did after entering it was to use “Yin Kong” to level the spatial undulations that were not too intense, and then, he quickly headed towards the forest at the entrance of the dimensional realm. It was unknown if he was mistaken, but as he advanced, his entire person slowly sank underground.

At the same time, in the small hut on the other side of the secret realm, the reason why Taoist Mao Ding was so infuriated when he had reached the critical juncture in refining the Spirit Pill was probably because this space was completely dependent on the third formation. When the Stellar Cliffs was struck by the large fragments of the stone cliff just now, a violent upheaval had unavoidably spread to this entire space.

Pill refining was not an easy task, especially when it came to refining top grade dao pills. Not to mention the fact that he had been refining for years, there was no room for carelessness in the process, especially when the cauldron was about to be filled with dao pills. If he lost because of an unnecessary accident, even if the pill did not belong to him, he would not have allowed his two years of hard work to go to waste.

Thus, after stabilizing the high-grade treasure pill furnace in front of him, Daoist Mao Ding immediately checked the entire Secret realm space, in case the turmoil from earlier would cause any damage to the secret realm, and aesult, he was naturally relieved.

Even so, Daoist Mao Ding still sent out his Message Talisman at the first moment and questioned Mo Ya and Chi Xing about what had just happened. Such a violent disturbance almost caused a change in space, and if he did not react in time, he would have lost everything he had previously.

The two of them naturally had to explain carefully before asking about the progress of the refining of the Astral Core. Only after asking Daoist Mao Ding for some words of advice that would calm them down and promising him that nothing like this would happen again did the exchange come to an end.

Although Yang Junshan who was hiding underground and had constructed a simple and practical array formation based on the number of people in the forest did not know the content of the conversation, he, who was constantly paying attention to the entrance of the secret realm, knew that no one was coming in or out of it after he realized that it did not arouse any suspicions from Mo Ya and Chi Xing, so he relaxed.

The reason why he had to hide underground after constructing the concealment array formation was to ensure that the aura of the spirit mirror would disappear to the lowest level. At the moment, Yang Junshan’s internal organs had already reached the perfection stage, and his physical body had also started the blood exchange process for the eighth stage, so even with the help of the earth’s power, his physical body would still be strengthened to a certain extent. Even though the space was small, the quality of this spirit garden was excessively high.

Yang Junshan thought, he hoped that everything was still in time, if not he could only knock over the pill furnace and destroy this dimensional realm, causing a huge mess, if he could not obtain it, he would disgust Mo Ya and Chi Xing to death.

Why was the Dao of Formation ranked number 1 among all the various arts of cultivation, and why was it that formation masters had the highest standards?

In terms of connotation, it was naturally because the Dao of array formations encompassed everything. Array masters were synonymous with profound knowledge.

And if one looked at it from the outside, array masters were usually synonymous with intelligent, elegant, confident, and happy people who would be able to easily destroy an oar in their conversation. As long as one looked at those array masters who could use a few hundred pieces of a chessboard to denounce them, then they would be able to lay down a massive monster that covered an area of several miles, several tens, or even hundreds of miles, instantly deciding the survival of hundreds of thousands of existences.

However, compared to array masters, blacksmiths were all smoky and naturally inferior. There were even some who traveled everywhere to refinigh quality magic treasure, causing them to be unable to rest for many years, and even talking about expending their blood and sweat would not be an exaggeration. After a few mouthfuls of blood and sweat to improve the quality of a magic treasure, it was very normal for it to end up like this.

The higher the grade of the pill, the more difficult it would be to refine it, and the longer it would take for it to take, because during the pill refining process, one would be more sensitive to the control of the fire than weapon crafting, which also meant that the alchemist would have to put all of their energy into the pill refining process from the very beginning, even until the pill furnace was formed. At the same time, it would also allow the alchemist to havard time improving his cultivation during the pill refining process, much less have time to cultivate.

Even the Yang Junshan deep in the ground was able to smell this refreshing and strange fragrance. The refinement of the dao’s rhythm pill had already reached the point where it was about to be completed, and the two years of not giving up on refining pills day and night had also caused Daoist Mao Ding to be extremely exhausted.

Fortunately, he had thought it through in advance. At the same time, in order to win the trust of Mo Ya and the Scarlet Star brothers, he had chosen to refine pills in this sealed off Secret realm space; this way, at the moment the pill was completed, even if the pill had a spirit and escaped, it would not be lost. This way, he would no longer have to waste any energy and effort in refining the pill.

Gaining the last bit of energy and true essence, Daoist Mao Ding finally opened the pill furnace and two big pills shining witurple glow flew out from the furnace. Then, with two streaks of purple light in the air, he flew out of the room. Even though there was a layer of restriction placed around the room by Daoist Mao Ding, it did not obstruct the two purple pills in the slightest, yet Daoist Mao Ding did not do so immediately.

“Hehe, a double life. If this old man had not created such a secret pill technique, how would I have been able to save so much time to raise my cultivation?” It iity that all three of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures s managed to produce one set of Spirit Grass, or else, even if it is not a pill, saving a hundred different Spirit Treasures would be good. ”

Daoist Mao Ding smiled complacently. However, he could not help but feel slightly regretful. After that, because his inner true essence was empty, his face became pale, and his expression became extremely tired.

However, he still struggled to stand up and look behind him. On the wooden table behind him, there wauge flower pot with some sort of spirit plant planted on it, but it was surrounded by a dense array of light barriers, so he couldn’t clearly see what was inside. However, on the side of this spirit plant, there was a mass of light that looked like it was bearing fruit.

When Daoist Mao Ding saw the flower pot, or to be more exact, when he saw the spiritual plants within, his originally exhausted expression could not help but reveal a hint of joy. He muttered to himself, “It’s a lost fruit, a lost fruit. This old man’s method is indeed feasible.

As he spoke to here, Taoist Mao Ding seemed to be unable to contain the joy in his heart. He slowly extended his hand and cut a small hole through the layers of barrier.

During this period of time, Taoist Mao Ding, who was originally exhausted from his pill refinement, seemed to have absorbed some immortal spiritual energy. His entire person seemed to have become more energetic, and his originally pale face turned rosy.

“It really is …”

However, Daoist Mao Ding’s expression of enjoyment did not wait for long before his face stiffened due to a sudden cry.

“Who is it? Who took the two dao cores? Could it be that Mo Ya and Chi Xing came in?” How could he not sense the spatial fluctuations that came from the opening of the mystic realm? It seems like Mo Ya and Chi Xing are still suspicious of this old man and are secretly guarding against him! ”

Although Daoist Mao Ding was puzzled and unhappy, he didn’t think about where the enemies would come from. In truth, he wasn’t to blame. Who would’ve thought that there would be other people hiding within the secret realm at this time?

“Hahahaha, Mo Ya and Chi Xing, you two fellow daoists, you two are unavoidably a bit too impatient. Fortunately, this old man’s dao halo pill has not finished its life, and you two have already impatiently appeared.

Daoist Mao Ding laughed heartily as he opened the door of the wooden room, only to be met with a black shadow that came crashing down from above.

Yang Junshan stretched out his hand and the Sky Breaking Mace returned to his hand. He stared blankly at the old man whose head had exploded likotten watermelon on the ground and could not believe it for a moment: “A dignified Qingyun Realm cultivator was killed by himself just like that?”

On both of Yang Junshan’s shoulders, two balls of purple light were bound by the two-way magnetic and magical light that was rising from his sides, and without harming the slightest bit of these two purple pellets, they were allowed to jump up and down.

Then, Yang Junshan slapped his forehead in annoyance, and said: “A miscalculation, a grandmaster of pills who was able to concoct a dao halo pill was actually beaten to death by himself just like that, it’s truly a waste of a heaven’s treasure!”
