Chapter 1122: The Peach Tree Sprouting
forth, a large number of feathers mixed with a string of blood beads fell to the ground. After that, the Nightingales flew away in fright, daring not to approach too closely.Lu Xiaoteng's lips twitch...What remains are the collected monster beast essences, of which there were originally two at the twelfth rank: a twelfth-rank demonic tiger, which was used up during the ascension to the body cultivation realm. There is only one remaining, the essence of a purple-eyed demon elephant. There are also a dozen or so eleventh-rank monster beast essences. After all, they were accumulated during the period when they were refining pills for Yun Ya Auction House and the Máng Xiāo family and the Mù Yě family. Although most of the pills refined were infant transformation pills, this level of elixir is a strategic resource for any cultivating family. Aside from the twelfth-rank monster beast essences, those with slightly lower strength are also relatively easy to obtain.
In addition, the spiritual herbs used to refine pills such as the結嬰丹 (Binding Embryo Pill), 易形丹 (Shape-Shifting Pill), 通血生肌續骨丹 (Circulating Blood, Rejuvenating Flesh and Bones Pill), 升元昊鑰丹 (Ascending Yuan Hao Key Pill), 破階丹 (Breaking Realm Pill), 九轉還嬰丹 (Nine Turns Returning Infant Pill) and others are all stored within the barrier. Left doesn't intend to stay here for long. They will first gather a batch of things they want. Previously, they worried about exposing their pill refining level, but now their strength is incomparable to before. Although they still need to be careful, they no longer need to be as cautious and fearful of being discovered and controlled.
Besides these, another invaluable spirit is the longevity peach, which can increase one's lifespan.
Moreover, he had two peaches in his hand. Lu Xia Tian resisted the urge to eat them directly. As spiritual objects, they could be used for alchemy. These peaches, though rare treasures of heaven and earth, could also be used to refine medicinal pills. However, there was no suitable recipe at the moment. His current cultivation was less than three hundred years, and although his cultivation level was only in the early stage of Yuanying, he had gone through many battles and hardships, which had made his foundation solid and his origins profound. Breaking through to the middle stage of Yuanying would not be difficult. Once he reached the middle stage of Yuanying, he could take a breakthrough pill and cultivate to the Great Cultivator realm without much trouble, and this wouldn't take too long. The matter of consuming the peaches was not particularly urgent, so he could take it slow.
“Lu Xia Tian had two peaches on hand. He decided to try cultivating them first within the barrier. If he could successfully grow peaches…” Lu Xia Tian couldn’t resist this huge temptation. With a movement of his divine consciousness, a large, crimson peach with an unusual fragrance fell into the fruit barrier.
But once the peach fell into the ground within the barrier, the enormous peach vanished. A strange energy filled the entire barrier.
“It’s gone!” Lu Xiaoteng’s face darkened. The result was unexpected. After the peach flesh came into contact with the soil, it directly transformed into spiritual energy and was absorbed by the exotic flowers and plants within the barrier. Not only did it fail to cultivate a peach tree, but it also resulted in the loss of a precious peach.
"No, there's still one peach pit!" After composing himself, Lu Xia Tian discovered that in the original grass patch, there was still a pale yellow peach pit lying quietly, which was slightly larger than an ordinary spirit peach.
“Well, it’s not completely gone either.” Lu Xia Tian let out a long sigh and began sprinkling wood spirit stones around the peach pit. However, the peach pit remained unmoved. Lu Xia Tian observed the area around the peach pit again, finally noticing a tiny green sprout at its edge. But no matter how he used the spirit stones to hasten its growth, the sprout wouldn't fully emerge.
"Strange." Before this, Lu Xia Tian had encountered the inability to cultivate Bi Chen Bamboo because it must be reborn from Bi Chen Mu, and the chance was extremely low. Bi Chen Bamboo could not survive alone, of course. Lu Xia Tian also had some guesses. Within the barrier, cultivating a large number of Bi Chen Mu, as long as the quantity was sufficient, there would always be a certain proportion to generate Bi Chen Bamboo. However, although Bi Chen Bamboo was exceptionally precious, Lu Xia Tian's knowledge about the secrets of Bi Chen Bamboo was limited. The few uses he knew were temporarily unusable. Naturally, there was no need to spend a huge price in the Qingguo barrier to cultivate this thing. After all, his main focus now should not be on this matter.
> Even though the Bichen Wood could still be ripened with Spirit Stones, this Peach of Immortality was something he had never encountered before – it couldn't be ripened with Spirit Stones.

“Could it be that the growth of peach is not the most important condition” Lu Xia Tian reacted, now there was no way to get this peach. He might gather more information about peaches later on, maybe growing them requires other necessary conditions.”

"The blood of a tenth-order demonic beast, the essence of its soul can be exchanged using a small amount of spiritual creature or a large quantity of spirit stones. As for those of the twelfth order, ordinary spiritual creatures cannot be used for exchange at all. As for Pangu Stones, they cannot be obtained without Ascension to Heaven Pill or Breakthrough Pill."
Lu Xia Tian pondered for a while, temporarily still refining some elixir. Otherwise, what could he use to barter
Lu Xia Tian looked around. This private mountain range was off-limits to anyone who wasn't invited by the owner. The Yquan Mountain Range already had caves for alchemy, which couldn't be more suitable.
Having made up his mind, Lu Xia Tian's figure flashed several times before disappearing into the forest and entering the cave dwelling within the Jade Spring Mountain domain.
Inside the cave dwelling, night pearls hung from the stone walls, and jade bricks formed the flooring on either side. It appeared elegant and unique.

The cave dwelling housed several rooms used for cultivation, rest, and a spirit beast enclosure. There was also a study stocked with some less crucial ancient texts. They weren't cultivation manuals but rather contained stories and legends about the Chi Yan Continent.
“The original owner was quite a leisurely person.” Lu Xia Tian looked around, there wasn't a dedicated alchemy room, it seemed the original owner wasn't an alchemist either. He directly used a secret room for cultivation as an alchemy room. Lu Xia Tian wasn't very picky about his alchemy space, as long as he wasn't disturbed.
Over the years, I've walked many paths in the cultivation world and collected quite a few formulas. Even high-level formulas like the Breakthrough Pill were provided by Elder Chi Jie of back then.
Whether it's spirit herbs or high-level monster materials, such as monster blood essence and monster soul cores, they are not simply obtainable with spirit stones. As you reach higher levels, transactions often involve bartering goods for goods.
"Using Jieying Pills to exchange for monster beast essence spirits, or monster beast blood essence. While Jieying Pills are of little use to Nascent Soul cultivators, they are indispensable to major cultivating families. If the twelfth-grade ones are difficult to collect, Shengyuan Hao yao Dan is also acceptable. As for Pojie Pills, they can only be used to exchange for Pan Qing Stones."
There are still some remaining Ji Ying Dan on hand. Let's start with Sheng Yuan Hao Yao Dan first. A few Jiu Zhuan Huan Ying Dan can also be refined just in case.
Lu Xiaitian pondered for a moment. The difficulty of the Nine Turns Returning Infant Pill was not inferior to that of the Ascending Yuan Hao Yao Pill, which was easier said than done. He should start with the Ascending Yuan Hao Yao Pill first.
In fact, he had already experimented with refining the Breaking Realm Pill during his Golden Core stage. Even pills like the Ascending Yuan Hao Key Pill and the Nine Turns Returning Infant Pill, though difficult to refine, wouldn't pose much of a challenge. He first refined several batches himself, then summoned his avatar to begin the process while he reached out with his hand. A silver gourd materialized, crackling with lightning within – it was the Thunder Source Burst Pearl he had collected before.

Unexpectedly, the power of this formation was so great. As soon as they clashed, Sānjiàn Shīyuán realized that onc...
