Chapter 752: Azure Book, Iron Scroll

side was truly too suffocating. Unbeknownst to him, as Lu Xia Tian saw its departing figure, his eyes flickered for a moment.Lu Xiaotian hadn't completely ruled out the idea of eliminating the Shadow...After the little firebird came out, it chirped and squawked wildly, as if blaming Lu Xiaoteng for keeping him cooped up for too long.

"Alright, keep an eye out for your surroundings. If you encounter a demon beast or ghost tribe that you can't handle, alert me immediately." Lu Xia Tian waved his hand weakly, no longer having the energy to pay attention to Little Fire Crow's displeasure.

The little fire crow's beady eyes rolled around, sizing up Lu Xiaoteng. Seeing that Lu Xiaoteng was now as thin as a skeleton, it seemed to understand something and stopped arguing with him. It circled his head a few times before flying away into the distance.

Lu Xia Tian let out a breath, the little fire raven finally managed to be of some use.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After being drained of a large amount of blood by the Yin Devouring Ghost Wheel, Lu Xiaoteng was now as withered as parchment.

His injuries wouldn't recover in the short term. Lu Xiaoteng trembled as he got up, picking up the scattered storage bags – Tuo Bahai’s and Xuan Yin's included.

By the way, there were also scattered Earth Element Spirit Lamps and Yin Devouring Ghost Wheels on the ground. Looking at the terrifying Yin Devouring Ghost Wheel, Lu Xiaoteng hesitated for a moment. Regardless of whether he would need it later, this time it had played such a significant role. Among the ghost race, it must be a rare treasure. It's just that Xuan Yin couldn't yet exert its full strength.

Lu Xia Tian, dragging his weary and fatigued body, didn't walk too far. Although this place wasn't safe, in his current state, going elsewhere wouldn't necessarily be much safer. Unable to travel far, Lu Xia Tian picked up a dry branch on the ground and, after struggling for a while, set up several formation disks in the nearby rocky area from his storage bag.

Fortunately, there were still a few formations left. They came in handy at this time. Lu Xia Tian felt a little more at ease. There was an illusion formation outside that prevented ordinary monsters or ghosts from finding him. Inside, there was also a defensive formation. As long as it wasn't a Jindan-level monster, he wouldn't be in any danger.

This time, the injuries were too severe, especially the damage to his foundation caused by the Yin Devourer Wheel. His strength was greatly diminished. Even with the healing power of ice, he could only recover from physical wounds. In this state, Lu Xia Tian stayed here, quietly recuperating.

A few waves of demonic beasts passed through here, along with a small number of ghost clan members. Because their ranks were not high, they didn't discover anything about the formations Lu Xia Tian had set up here. However, there were also some dangerous moments.

Although the little firebird had warned him beforehand, there were too many ghost clan skeleton troops surrounding him. Lu Xia Tian was simply unable to escape them. After those low-level skeletons passed, a Jindan stage ghost cultivator recognized the illusion array Lu Xia Tian had set up.

Later, Lu Xiaotian relied on several formations to temporarily trap the opponent. The golden core ghost clan skeleton seemed to have something important to do. After angrily searching for Lu Xiaotian for a while, he gave up on this insignificant human cultivator.

Lu Xia Tian was fortunate to escape this calamity. After this experience, Lu Xia Tian made up his mind that when he went out later, he would definitely try his best to collect a Golden Core-level puppet or an array formation that could resist a Golden Core cultivator. Although his strength wouldn't be needed after recovering, who knows if he would encounter such an awkward situation again in the future.

He was forced to rely on a trapping formation just to barely escape from a Ghost cultivator whose cultivation was only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core. A dragon trapped in shallow water, a tiger fallen into disgrace—that's what it was like. If he had a Golden Core level puppet or a powerful formation at this time, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed.

After this dangerous experience, Lu Xia Tian traveled around for several places until six months later, his body emaciated, he finally returned to his original appearance. He was a little thinner, but his complexion was still pale.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoteng inside the maze formation let out a slight sigh of relief. His strength had finally recovered about seven or eight out of ten. During these past six months or so, he hadn't had many days without fear and anxiety.

Over the past six months, Lu Xiaoteng has once again refined a puppet doll and nurtured it within his dantian. The puppet doll is rarely used, but every time it is deployed, it saves his life. The power within the fazhu has been fully replenished.

Lu Xia Tian sat cross-legged on the ground, a small jade bottle appearing in his hand. Inside was a pool of bright red blood. Twirling the bottle in his hand, Lu Xia Tian's face displayed a rare excitement. This time, although unprecedentedly dangerous and with twists and turns along the way, the harvest was enormous.

This vial of blood is exactly the same as the demonic beast blood obtained after Xuan Yin and others killed the Iron-Spiked Back Demon Lion. At that time, Xuan Yin collected all the demonic beast blood, and now that Xuan Yin is dead, this Iron-Spiked Back Demon Lion's blood naturally fell into his hands.

It's a twist of fate that after killing Tuobai Hai, the Bat King Fa Yi, whose speed surged and combat power multiplied several times over, was obtained. This Fa Yi is quite peculiar; while it doesn't take long to refine, the conditions for use are exceptionally demanding. It requires the blood essence of a Nascent Soul level cultivator or the blood of a demon beast at the tenth rank or above. Only after absorbing the blood essence can the Bat King Fa Yi be activated.

If there were no essence blood, this Bat King's Wings would be nothing more than a decoration. This was quite similar to the符靈法器Blood Wolf Demon Drum in his hand, but it was far inferior and much crueler. It had to take the blood while the demon beast was still alive. The Bat King's Wings were different. In Tuo Ba Hai's storage bag, there were some essences that smelled like those of a demon python. They should have been given by his father and now belonged to him. Lu Xia Tian chuckled with glee; these essence blood would be enough for him to use for quite some time.

Although he usually doesn't need it, even facing the pursuit of a Yuan Ying cultivator now, he wouldn't be completely helpless and without any way to fight back if he couldn't win.

This can also be considered one of the biggest gains this time. After playing with the Bat King's wings for a while, Lu Xia Tian put it away.

Soon, a flash of black light passed through his hand, revealing a piece of dark blue iron scroll. It recorded something that Lu Xia Tian was very interested in, "Xue Yin Creation Crystal". It documented the biographies of some Yuan Ying cultivators. During their tribulation to form the Nascent Soul, besides the powerful thunder tribulation, there were also rampant demons and demonic intrusions, causing people to lose their sanity. At best, they would lose their minds; at worst, they would become puppet demons and die violently.

Lu Xia Tian felt that his divine consciousness was not weak, but the records of those Nascent Soul cultivators were not detailed. Each person's tribulation experience varied in strength, as could be seen from the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation.

If the Xue Yin creation only served to clear one's mind, it wouldn't be so appealing. However, another reason that captivated Lu Xia Tian was its ability to increase the success rate of forming an infant soul by one to two percent. For any cultivator attempting this perilous feat, even a sliver of hope is fiercely pursued, let alone a one to two percent chance.

It's a pity that most of the writing on this ancient scroll has been erased. Lu Xia Tian only saw information about the effects of the "Xueyin Creation Crystal" but not its refining method. What a shame. Lu Xia Tian sighed softly and put the damaged scroll away.rike slashed out, like lightning traversing the heavens, covering thousands of miles in an instant. Unconsciously, Lu Xiaoteng had utilized the Lightning Flash technique from the laws of the lightning...
