Xiao Jianfeng returned to his residence and looked at the extremely familiar place. The room was spotless. It was obvious that a disciple had come to clean it while he was gone.

He quietly sat down and poured himself a cup of tea from the teapot on the table. He took a sip and thought back to all the things that had happened in the past month. Among them, there were a few that went through life and death situations, and it could be said that each time was a dangerous situation. If it wasn't for the spirit child timely saving him, he would have died a long time ago.

Xiao Jianfeng was not afraid of direct attacks. He was afraid of soul attacks and illusions! His soul was simply too weak. As long as he encountered someone who specialized in soul attacks, he wouldn't be able to fight back at all. The next thing he had to do was find a way to improve his soul defense.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jian Feng took out the < Nine Furnace Divine Pill Scripture > and flipped to the first page. On the first page, he saw the words "Rushing Thunder Pill".

The effect of the Rushing Thunder Pill would increase the speed of the user by five times when consuming one pellet. This was a time limit of one hour. There were a total of eighteen types of medicinal herbs required. They were human hair, human cells, ginseng, two-colored Blood Replenishing Grass, clove lilac oil, Seven Leaf Flower, Nine-Headed Lion Grass, and Three Leaf Thorny Needle Grass …

…. The fescue.

Xiao Jian Feng couldn't help but feel a headache as he looked at the ingredients required for the Rushing Thunder Pill. Two of the eighteen ingredients were already extinct: the Immortal Fescue and the Nine-Headed Lion Grass.

These two herbs were considered immortal herbs, and were not available in the mortal world. Xiao Jianfeng had once heard from Su Qian that the ingredients used for refining pills were divided into three categories.

The first type was the most common medicinal herb, called Common Grass.

The second type was the rarer type of high-grade medicinal herbs, and they were called spiritual herbs.

The third type were also extremely rare. In the mortal world, medicinal herbs that could only grow in remote areas or places with abundant spiritual energy were immortal herbs.

However, the Fescue and Nine-Headed Lion Grass were precisely these extremely rare immortal grasses. This made Xiao Jianfeng a bit unhappy. Actually, he wasn't afraid that the mortal world wouldn't have these immortal herbs, because the immortal herbs he got from the immortal tomb would be able to contain all kinds of herbs.

As for the reason why Xiao Jian Feng was displeased, it was because he had just wanted to refine the first pill of the 'Nine Furnace Divine Pill Scripture'.

When Xiao Jian Feng saw the areas he needed to pay attention to when refining the Rushing Thunder Pill, he could not help but frown. He noticed that refining this Rushing Thunder Pill wasn't an ordinary trouble. It could be said to be extremely troublesome.

He could solve the problem of the ingredients, but the requirements of the pill furnace were too high. This was because refining this Rushing Thunder Pill required that the highest level of alchemy cauldron had to be at least the Phoenix Tattooed Cauldron level. What could Xiao Jianfeng do with such a high quality pill furnace? He was truly at a loss for words.

Xiao Jianfeng frowned and snappily said, "To think that a Dao-Core level pill would require so much. How infuriating!" After saying that, he flipped to the third page and continued to read. However, when he flipped to the third page, his face immediately turned gloomy. There was not a single word on the third page!

"How could this be?" Xiao Jianfeng picked up the < The Nine Furnace Divine Pill Scripture > and quickly flipped through it. However, the pages at the back were like the third page, not a single page was left.

This caused Xiao Jianfeng to panic. He had worked so hard to survive, yet the treasure he had obtained from the immortal tomb only had the words on the first two pages. Wasn't this too deceitful?

Calm down! Calm down! Xiao Jian Feng took in a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down. He didn't believe that this was the only pill formula in the [Nine Furnace Divine Pill Scripture]. There must be some sort of secret behind it.

Some special treasures were usually sealed to prevent others from peeping. Perhaps this was the seal that was placed on the < Nine Furnace Divine Pill Scripture >.

Xiao Jian Feng instantly released his consciousness and fused it into the [Nine Furnace Divine Pill Scripture]. As he did so, a message was sent into his mind.

"The [Nine Furnace Divine Pill Scripture] is an item from the Immortal World. This book is to prevent others from peeping into its contents and to restrict pill refiners. He set up a sealing barrier. The only way for this barrier to open was to refine the first pill and use it to open the seal. The first pill would open the seal on the second pill, and the second pill would open the seal on the third pill. If you were to forcefully use your mana to attack the formation, this book will immediately turn into ashes. "

Xiao Jianfeng retracted his mind and revealed a helpless expression as he shook his head, "So that's how it is! I really don't know which immortal is so cautious to actually be able to get such a formation in a book, it really makes me speechless. "

Xiao Jianfeng looked at the [Nine Furnace Divine Pill Scripture] in his hand. His face was red and white. He was truly at a loss! Every time he refined a pill, he would have to use it to open the seal. In this way, he would have to waste a lot of medicinal herbs and pills! Just the thought of it made his heart ache.

Xiao Jian Feng put away his < The Nine Furnace Divine Pill Scripture > and headed towards the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion. He was going to start collecting medicinal ingredients and concocting pills. He already knew the recipe for the Five Elements Pill and it required a total of nine ingredients. Other than the three that were already extinct in the Mortal Realm, the rest of the medicinal herbs were available in the Elixir Pavilion.

This way, he would need to collect a total of 21 medicinal materials for the Rushing Thunder Pill. Although these medicinal herbs were precious, the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion still had them.

The Spiritual Medicine Pavilion wasn't too far away from Xiao Jian Feng's residence; it was only a tea house owner. The guard walked up to the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion and saw the token at Xiao Jian Feng's waist. He immediately let him in respectfully.

Xiao Jianfeng had already come to the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion once. Although he did not take a careful look last time, he was extremely clear about the structure and the distribution inside.

Just as Xiao Jianfeng entered the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, he met a person. This person was tall and sturdy, with a tanned complexion like a chimpanzee. This person was none other than the person who had extorted Xiao Jianfeng, Zhao Kui.

Zhao Kui glanced at Xiao Jianfeng and then looked at the token at his waist. He immediately revealed a fawning expression and laughed like an old bull, "Senior brother Xiao, I haven't seen you for quite some time! A few days ago, I specially made a trip to the outer sect, but unfortunately, I didn't see Shixiong Xiao. "It turns out that Senior-apprentice Brother Xiao has already become an inner disciple. This is truly a cause for celebration!"

Xiao Jianfeng looked at Zhao Kui with a smile and said softly, "I was an outer disciple back then. I wonder why senior brother Zhao was looking for me?"

Hearing Xiao Jianfeng's sudden question, Zhao Kui was at a loss for words. He stammered, "No ~ ~ It's nothing."

Xiao Jianfeng meaningfully glanced at Zhao Kui and laughed, "Senior Martial Brother Zhao, why are you so nervous?"

Zhao Kui looked at Xiao Jianfeng's smiling face and could not help but feel a thump in his heart. In fact, the reason why he went to the outer sect to find Xiao Jianfeng was because he had a treasure on him. He wanted to find an opportunity to check Xiao Jianfeng's Cosmic Bag. If Xiao Jianfeng wanted him to check everything, it would be fine.

If Xiao Jianfeng did not let him inspect it, it would mean that there were still many other treasures in his Cosmic Bag. He would then find an empty reason to kill people and steal their treasures.

Zhao Kui was no fool. With a single glance, he could tell that Xiao Jianfeng was hiding a saber within his smile. He immediately said in an extremely embarrassed voice, "Junior brother, I'm looking for senior brother to thank you for your help. If you hadn't given me a high grade spirit stone, my cultivation would not have increased so quickly."

Xiao Jianfeng laughed, "Senior brother Zhao, the faster your cultivation increases, the better your talent will be. It has nothing to do with me at all."

Zhao Kui smiled apologetically, "Senior brother Xiao, please don't call me senior brother. Right now, you are the seventh core disciple of the Pill Sect, which is also our seventh senior brother. If you continue to call me Senior Brother, then you'll really kill me. "

Xiao Jianfeng lightly patted Zhao Kui's shoulders and laughed, "Alright then! I won't call you senior brother from now on. "Junior brother Zhao, I need some medicinal materials right now. I wonder if you can help me find them?"

With a flattering smile on his face, Zhao Kui nodded his head and bowed as he said, "If Senior Brother Xiao needs any medicinal ingredients, just say so. As your Junior Brother, I will definitely bring them to you."

Xiao Jianfeng's right hand flashed and a piece of paper filled with words appeared in his hand. He handed it over to Zhao Kui and said, "According to the ingredients written on it, give me ten portions of each."

Zhao Kui received the paper and invited Xiao Jian Feng to the side hall with a smile. He said extremely respectfully, "Senior Xiao, please wait for a while longer. I will go and prepare the medicinal ingredients for senior." With that, he turned around and left the room.

Xiao Jianfeng looked at Zhao Kui's back and coldly snorted, "How dare you scheme against me! This person cannot be left alive! "

Actually, Xiao Jianfeng knew that Zhao Kui went to look for him in the outer sect because he wanted to check his Cosmic Bag. To Zhao Kui, a single high-grade spirit stone was akin to a mountain of gold. How could he resist such a huge temptation?

This person already knew that he had more than one high grade Spirit Stone on him. If he were to tell someone else about this secret, it would bring him endless trouble. As the saying goes, one should not be afraid of stealing. Once the senior brothers in the sect find out that he had a great treasure, they would do everything in their power to steal it from him.

In this way, he wouldn't have a good life in the future. If the Sect Leader knew about this, he would definitely investigate this matter. If the Sect Leader were to discover the secret of his Gold Dragon Space, he would ruthlessly take the bracelet away. In this way, everything was finished. Therefore, Zhao Kui had to get rid of him.

Time passed minute after minute, approximately one incense stick worth of time. Zhao Kui walked in from outside. As he spoke, a buzzing sound could be heard. "Senior Martial Brother Xiao, the medicinal ingredients you asked for are really hard to find. It took me quite a bit of effort to collect them for you." After which, he waved his sleeves and twenty-one medicinal herbs neatly appeared on the table.

With a thought, Xiao Jianfeng kept all the medicinal ingredients into his Qiankun bag. After which, he looked at Zhao Kui in satisfaction, threw him an Intermediate Spirit Stone, and said with a smile, "Let's meet tonight at the back of the mountain. I have something to discuss with Junior Zhao."
