Without the devil aura, the Fusheng Sword was still simple and heavy. Its aura was heavy, but the body of the sword was cold. The power of wind and thunder inside was even more intense, almost breaking out of the sword.
Qin Xi was surprised. "This sword has the thunder attribute?"
The previous Fusheng Sword had momentum, but it was hidden. Only after the devil aura was removed did he realize the sword was made of good thunder attribute materials.
Treasures of the thunder attribute were not common in the World of Cultivators. Firstly, there were very few people with thunder Spiritual Roots, so it was more suitable for people with gold Spiritual Roots to practice gold Cultivation Techniques. Secondly, treasures of the thunder attribute were very powerful. However, because of this, their progress was very slow, so very few people chose them.
Mo Tiange didn't expect the Fusheng Sword to be a rare thunder attribute magic weapon.
Mo Tiange knew about it, but she didn't care because she couldn't remove the devil aura before.
After she advanced to the Nascent Soul realm, she had to refine many magic weapons again to display the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Now that she removed the devil aura from the Fusheng Sword, she obtained a powerful magic weapon. She said happily, "Master Fu Yao said this sword isn't his natal magic weapon, but he spent a lot of effort to collect materials to make it. There are pure thunder crystals inside, and if it's used with thunder attribute spells, it'll be very powerful."
"Oh?
In that case, it complements the Great Heavenly Thunder Technique. "They happened to take a Great Heavenly Thunder Technique from the storeroom.
The reason why he chose this cultivation technique was because he took into consideration Mo Tiange's lack of Thunderbolt Strike, which could make up for her lack of attack power. The Fusheng Sword was also of the lightning attribute, so it just so happened to be of the lightning attribute.
"Yes!"
Looking at the new Fusheng Sword, Mo Tiange couldn't bear to put it down. After playing with it for a while, she put it away and asked Feifei, "Feifei, why is there so much Spirit Tempering Water?
Besides, this pool doesn't seem to be stagnant. Is it inexhaustible? "
Feifei said, "Spirit Tempering Water needs a lot to be effective. Whether it's concocting pills or refining tools, you need to add a whole bottle, unlike some spiritual waters that only need one or two drops.
As for how this water is produced … Just like spirit veins have spiritual eyes, Spirit Tempering Water also has a source. "
Hearing this, Mo Tiange and Qin Xi looked at each other and asked, "What about the source?"
"The source of the Spirit Tempering Water is usually in the shape of jade or stone. It is called the Spirit Tempering Jade or Spirit Tempering Stone. No one knows how they are produced.
Bury it somewhere, and the Spirit Quenching Water will be produced slowly. "Fei Leaped onto her shoulder." Hurry up and let Xiaofan out. Let it look for it! "
"…" It was so easy to order others around.
Nevertheless, Mo Tiange still listened to it. She entered the Virtual Sky World and took Xiaofan out, letting it go into the water to look for Spirit-Tempering Jades or Spirit-Tempering Stones.
Lil Fan was a sea beast, and it was very agile underwater. Let it find the most suitable one.
Not long after they entered the water, Xiaofan floated up from the bottom of the pond with a glowing jade in its mouth. Xiaofan handed it to Mo Tiange and asked, "Master, is this it?"
Mo Tiange took the jade stone. It was about the size of a palm, and there were faint veined patterns on its surface. If she hadn't known about it beforehand, she wouldn't have been able to tell it was a treasure that could produce Spirit-Tempering Water.
"That's it!" Feifei urged. "Put it in the Virtual Sky World!"
The two people and two beasts entered the Virtual Sky World. Mo Tiange asked the puppets to dig a pond by the stream and buried the Spirit-Tempering Jade in it.
After thinking for a while, she went out to take some Spirit-Tempering Water from the pond and put it in her Qiankun Ring.
Even if they had Spirit-Tempering Jade, it would take some time to produce Spirit-Tempering Water, so they took some as a backup first.
After doing all this, Feifei led the way. The two of them left the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation and went back to the cave.
* * *
They had spent more than twenty years in this immortal palace, so they couldn't delay the matter of getting out.
It wasn't just the two of them who thought so; Jing Xingzhi also thought so.
He had a big grudge, so how could he be willing to be trapped in this immortal palace for the rest of his life?
Mo Tiange also had things to do in the outside world. Now that time was tight, they couldn't delay it any longer.
"… Fellow Daoist Qingwei, how long will it take to comprehend your Xuanxu Cloud-Connecting Formation?" Jing Xingzhi asked.
Mo Tiange pondered for a while. "This … is hard to say. In my estimation, one or two years is the shortest, but maybe three or five years."
After all, the Xuanxu Cloud-Connecting Formation involved a very complicated space-tearing technique, so it definitely wouldn't take a few years to completely master it.
However, they didn't need to pay too much attention to using this formation to open a passage; they just needed to figure out how to use it.
"Three or five years … Alright, let's count as long as it takes."
Jing Xingzhi thought for a while. "To activate the Xuanxu Cloud-Connecting Formation, we need five Nascent Soul cultivators or above as mediators, right?"
"Correct. Perhaps we can improve other aspects, but this is the principle of this formation."
In fact, it didn't matter what cultivation level the mediators were, but to activate this formation, it needed too much spiritual aura. Five Nascent Soul cultivators or above would barely be enough.
Jing Xingzhi said, "Then here comes the problem. Right now, there are only four living people in this immortal palace.
The three of us are already in the Nascent Soul realm, and that devil cultivator boy will soon enter Closed Door Meditation to form his Nascent Soul. He cultivates a top-notch devil technique, so he seems very confident in forming his Nascent Soul. Let's assume he can successfully form his Nascent Soul in three or five years, but that's only four Nascent Soul cultivators. There's still one left. What should we do? "
"There are two ways," Qin Xi said thoughtfully.
"The first is to find a Nascent Soul substitute. The second is to find a crack in the restriction between the immortal palace and the spiritual mountain. Maybe the four of us can break the restriction." Mo Tiange agreed.
Mo Tiange expressed her approval. "Both methods are feasible."
The first method was needless to say; it was the safest solution. As for the second method, they only needed to put a puppet in the position of the fifth medium. Breaking the restriction would be done by the four of them, but it depended on how big the crack in the restriction was. If it was too small, it would be in vain.
"Then let's talk about it one by one.
The first is to find a Nascent Soul substitute. In this immortal palace, there are things related to the cultivation realm. Aside from us, there are only spiritual beasts and puppets.
Speaking of spiritual beasts, I know your bird is already in the seventh rank, but it won't be easy for it to advance to the eighth rank, right? "
Qin Xi smiled bitterly. "It's not easy for spiritual beasts to advance to the eighth rank. It won't take long even if it takes a hundred years to advance from the seventh rank to the eighth rank. It'll take at least thirty to fifty years for my Bright Bird to advance."
"Thirty to fifty years? Can you wait that long?"
"I can't wait that long."
Mo Tiange shook her head decisively. "I have something to do outside. If I wait thirty to fifty years, I don't know if I can finish it … Time is tight. I can only wait twenty years at most. We must go out within twenty years."
Jing Xingzhi didn't ask much about the specifics. He said, "Since spiritual beasts won't work, we can only consider puppets.
Fellow Daoist Qingwei, can you make Nascent Soul puppets now? "
Mo Tiange shook her head. "I can't now, but it's not impossible."
She still had the Jadebone Puppet Technique in her hands, and she also had the main materials. However, this technique was very difficult and she still lacked other materials, so she couldn't guarantee she could make it.
"In other words, this method can only be used as a backup."
Mo Tiange nodded to show her agreement.
Jing Xingzhi sighed. "Then let's consider the second method. We'll look for the crack in the restriction between the immortal palace and the spiritual mountain … How confident are you?"
Mo Tiange and Qin Xi glanced at each other. Their expressions were a bit solemn.
After thinking for a while, Qin Xi said, "The immortal palace is so big. It won't be easy to find a crack in the restriction that might be very small. Not to mention the restriction is so brilliant that we might not be able to find it with our eyesight. Even if we can find it, I'm afraid it'll take a lot of time."
"I think so too."
Jing Xingzhi was a bit dejected. "Sometimes when I think about it, I feel a bit regretful. Why don't I have any interest in miscellaneous knowledge?
If I knew one or two things, I wouldn't be so helpless. "
Judging from his appearance, he must've thought a lot these days. With his personality, it was already good that he could endure being trapped in the immortal palace for more than twenty years.
"Let's do it this way." Qin Xi said while thinking, "Neither of these two methods is foolproof, but they both have hope. We'd better do it separately.
We have to look for the crack in the immortal palace's restriction. Tiange, you should also study it and see if you can make Nascent Soul puppets. "
"En." These two methods didn't conflict, so there wouldn't be any problem if they were carried out at the same time.
"Alright.
If we want to get out, there are a few things we have to do.
The first is to study the Mysterious Void Cloud-Connecting Formation. The second is to make Nascent Soul puppets. The third is to find the crack in the immortal palace's restriction.
If we choose one of the two, we'll have hope of getting out. "
"There's one more thing. Fellow Daoist Yang has to advance to the Nascent Soul realm smoothly," Jing Xingzhi added. "Otherwise, even if we manage to do it, we still won't be able to get out."
Mo Tiange said, "Primordial Devil Art isn't an ordinary devil art. Yang Chengji also absorbed a lot of Primordial Devil Aura, so I think it's very likely that he'll succeed in forming his Nascent Soul."
"Alright." Jing Xingzhi no longer doubted her. "In any case, we can't interfere with soul-formation, so we'll trust him for the time being."
"It'll take at least three to five years for Fellow Daoist Yang to form his Nascent Soul. During this time, we can't just sit around and do nothing."
Qin Xi brought the topic back. "As I said just now, there are three things we have to do. The first two can only be left to Tiange, but the third … Fellow Daoist Jing, this is our problem."
"It's not a problem for me to help," Jing Xingzhi said, "The problem is that I'm not proficient in restrictions. I'm afraid I won't be able to find it even if I find it."
"This isn't a difficult problem," Mo Tiange interrupted. "I have a magic weapon here called the Sensing Bell. It's very sensitive to fluctuations in restrictions.
Senior Martial Brother, you can refine another one. The two of you can take one with you. "
"En."
Concocting pills and refining tools were Qin Xi's strengths. Since he had the refining method, he could refine it as long as he didn't lack materials.
Thus, the three of them reached an agreement.
Among the four people in Immortal Palace, Yang Chengji only needed to focus on his Closed Door Meditation to form his Nascent Soul. If he successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul realm, it wouldn't be too late for him to join them.
Mo Tiange's first task was to study the Mysterious Cloud-Connecting Formation. In her spare time, she would see if she could refine Nascent Soul puppets.
Qin Xi first refined the Sensing Bell, then he and Jing Xingzhi went to look for cracks in the restrictions around Immortal Palace.
With this kind of division of labor, in three to five years, they would have some progress in leaving Immortal Palace.
Having come to a conclusion, Jing Xingzhi left with satisfaction.
Next, they had to take action to leave Immortal Palace.
As she watched Jing Xingzhi's departing figure, Mo Tiange suddenly said, "Say, what if the cracks in the restrictions are near the refined corpses?"
Qin Xi was dumbfounded. He didn't know how to answer.
