第三千四百五十五章 意外的结果

The purification process was not described.

Lin Xuan, since he had embarked on the path of cultivation, had undergone countless arduous trials. It could be said that his journey was one of life and death. Reaching this stage was due to both his efforts and the effect of the Blue Star Sea. Otherwise, without a spirit root, no matter how hard he worked, he would not have become an immortal cultivator capable of withstanding tribulation.

For Lin Xuan, purification was already second nature; there would be no mistakes during the process.

However, even so, he had little confidence in this particular purification. After all, White Tiger Spirit Blood was far beyond ordinary pills.

He did it because he had enough spirit blood to back his attempt and gain some assurance. If it failed, it wouldn't matter much. But if luck favored him, the benefits would be indescribable.

Lin Xuan always planned meticulously before acting, considering all aspects of a situation. However, the bizarre nature of the cultivation world made everything unpredictable. The result of this purification greatly surprised Lin Xuan.

...

It was a peaceful morning. Sunlight filtered through the clouds and warmed the earth. On Cloud霞光 (light) dawn/sunrise glow/radiance Island, various colors of lightning-like streaks darted across the sky.

The battle several days ago had reduced the pavilions and towers to ruins, but the underground spirit veins remained intact. With this area cleaned up, it could be transformed back into a heavenly paradise.

Two senior elders had already issued decrees to reopen their doors and accept disciples. The surviving Cloud霞光 (light) dawn/sunrise glow/radiance sect members were clearing the rubble of their main hall.

Everything seemed serene until a loud explosion echoed in the air.

The cultivators were startled and looked towards the source. A mountain peak over a hundred miles away suddenly collapsed, sending dust clouds into the sky.

Was there another enemy?

The cultivators, already on edge, released their divine senses but found nothing amiss. Even the robed elder and the middle-aged man with the surname Lu exchanged puzzled looks.

There were no enemies here; what had caused that explosion?

...

The mountain peak was now a void, and Lin Xuan's and Moon's abode could not be spared either. At this moment, it had turned to rubble.

Moon's face was filled with confusion, while Lin Xuan looked particularly unlucky. He had never expected the White Tiger Spirit Blood to explode during purification.

He had purified countless pills and artifacts over his journey, but this situation was unprecedented.

Thinking back on that scene, Lin Xuan still felt a chill. Fortunately, he hadn't wasted much of the spirit blood; only one drop remained in the jade bottle.

If it had been an entire vial, he wouldn't have survived intact.

"Too close! Too close!"

"Master, what happened?"

Moon flew to his side. Her large eyes were filled with questions. He said he wanted to refine White Tiger Spirit Blood, but how could there be an explosion? The little girl's confusion was evident in her expression.

"What...?"

Lin Xuan stammered, not intentionally hiding anything from Moon. This situation was too bizarre; he didn't know where to begin explaining it.

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Xuan narrated the events in a dejected tone.

White Tiger Spirit Blood purifying and exploding—how could he continue trying?

Wait...

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind. It felt like he had grasped something important, but his thoughts were still unclear.

Seeing Lin Xuan's thoughtful expression, Moon understood and obediently stopped questioning him, not wanting to disturb his train of thought.

"Haha! Misfortune can turn into good fortune, and good fortune can turn into misfortune. White Tiger Spirit Blood exploding might be useful for me."

"Master, what did you figure out?"

"Yes."

Lin Xuan's face was now clear of its gloom, replaced by excitement: "But as the Buddha said, it cannot be spoken. Now, let me keep this a secret and tell you later."

"Moon, stay here. I have something to attend to and will return in a few days or perhaps over a month. Then I'll reveal the mystery."

"Master."

Moon stamped her foot. She was already an adult; why did she still act like a child, keeping secrets?

"Haha!"

Lin Xuan's face lit up with joy. Disregarding Moon's pout, he leaned in and kissed her forehead before vanishing into the clouds.

How swiftly Lin Xuan moved! After several turns, he disappeared into the depths of the cloud sea.

Moon blushed as she watched his back. Despite confusion on her face, there was a thoughtful expression.

...

"Uncle, where is the immortal peach fruit you mentioned?"

A few thousand miles away, another figure darted through the clouds, communicating with the demon lord using divine senses. In the Netherworld Realm, he had faced numerous challenges but ultimately turned things around.

As they say, misfortune can turn into good fortune; after emerging from the spatial storm, he found himself in Rain桐 World.

This was an unexpected stroke of luck since Rain桐 World was his destination. This outcome meant fewer obstacles and a better situation than what he initially expected.

But Xiao Jian was not satisfied. His purpose for coming to Rain桐 World was to find the immortal peach fruit. Although he had yet to reach late-stage tribulation, in Xiao Jian's view, it was only a matter of time. Now, his main concern was his domain.

"Jian'er, the immortal peach fruit is still unripe. With your current strength, you are slightly insufficient for retrieval. You must know that Rain桐 World is known as the first spirit realm due to its abundance of great talents and treasures. We seek the immortal peach fruit, but we cannot overlook other treasures..."

...

Meanwhile, more than three months had passed since Lin Xuan's departure.

This was a desolate island with no inhabitants. On this day, laughter rang out in joy.

"Haha, finally, it's all done."

A rumbling voice echoed as the door of a cave opened. A plain-looking youth stepped out—Lin Xuan. His face was filled with joy despite taking longer than expected; he had completed his task at last. (To be continued...)
