Chapter 304: No Time for Pearls

.Qin Sang sat at the back, watching his master and apprentice bustling about. His mind was racing, and before he knew it, dusk had fallen. There were only two people left to help him up the mountain.A...The white-clothed scholar shook his head and sighed, "Yin-Yang Compass, Shengyuanzi died just like this."

However, nobody sympathized with Ge Yuan.

When disaster strikes, everyone flees for their own life. If Ge Yuan only wanted to escape for his own safety, no one could blame him.

But this person, in order to save his own life, chose the moment when the Man-headed Owl was attacking. His purpose was clearly to use other people's lives as a shield against the Man-headed Owl, buying himself time to escape.

Among those betrayed by him was Yun Youzi, who had saved his life.

If the Cloud Traveler hadn't been able to perfect the formation in time, because of Ge Yuan's sudden departure, the Golden Ring Formation would have collapsed, and everyone would have perished under the talons of the Man-headed Owl!

Ge Yuan chose a good time, but he never expected to be targeted by Luo Xingnan. He was manipulated by Luo Xingnan's yin-yang compass, tossed about like a plaything, and finally thrown before a hooked serpent king.

The mouth of the serpent was close at hand, its breath reeking of a putrid stench. But amidst the overpowering odor, there lingered a faint sweetness that intoxicated the senses, emanating from the crimson mist.

Having already learned of the Crimson Fog's power, Ge Yuan shivered suddenly and hurriedly held his breath, afraid to inhale it.

Ge Yuan's most trusted weapon was a pair of Wu Gou, one large and one small, each representing male and female.

At this moment, the crimson snake's letter protruded from its mouth, just an inch from his eyes. How could Ge Yuan hesitate even for a moment He hastily raised his magic weapon and struck fiercely at the snake's mouth.

One green and one red sword glow shot out rapidly, piercing straight into the snake's mouth.

The Hooked Snake King reacted extremely quickly. Its snake head suddenly swerved, narrowly avoiding being pierced through the brain by Wu Gou's spear. However, it paid the price of having its snake scales severed.

The long snake's tongue flew out far, fresh blood gushing like a fountain from the mouth of King Kaa in an instant.

The Hooked Serpent King was in agony, his rage reaching a peak. His eyes blazed with fury as he glared at Ge Yuan.

Unbeknownst to him, Ge Yuan's actions perfectly aligned with Lu Xingnan's plans.

The Hook Serpents' strength was greatly diminished, their numbers weren't large, but these two Hook Serpent Kings were extremely difficult to deal with. They cooperated closely, and he could never find an opportunity to prepare his talismanic treasures. He was stuck for a long time, resulting in being battered and bruised, almost reaching the point of exhaustion.

Luckily, Ge Yuan came to the door.

Of course, Ge Yuan was no match for the Hook Serpent King. But as long as he could attract its attention and hold it off for a moment, disrupting the Hook Serpent King's encirclement would be enough.

This is a golden opportunity.

Luo Xingnan gasped urgently, channeling his whole body's energy into the compass. A black light shot out, forcing the other hooked serpent king back slightly, giving him a chance to escape.

Shangguan Lifeng was diligently resisting the hooked snake, and his body already had some not light injuries. Seeing this, he immediately sheathed his sword and chased after it.

Unexpectedly, when Luo Xinan saw that the venomous snakes were still relentlessly pursuing them, a cruel expression flashed across his face. He suddenly reversed the Yin-Yang compass, aiming it at Shangguan Lifeng behind him.

"Whoosh!"

Shangguan Lifeng looked somewhat stunned, as if he couldn't believe it. He kept his promise and was wholeheartedly devoted to Luo Xinan, but in the end, this is what happened to him.

At once, Shangguan Lifeng let out a wry smile of relief, raising his sword and slashing out a blade of energy to meet the black light. However, his figure was forced to halt. As the black light dissipated, the Hooked Serpent King was mere inches away from him.

The change happened extremely quickly, like lightning. The situation shifted several times rapidly.

Luo Xinan, despite causing two deaths, actually managed to escape with his life.

At this point, there was no time to worry about exposure. Qin Sang was about to open his pouch and take out the Ten Directions Yama Banner to fight with all his might.

Just at this moment, Yun Youzi looked at Qin Sang with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "Qin little brother, it's up to you now!"

Qin Sang was startled, "Senior…"

Then, the traveler’s body was enveloped in a gathering of light. From the radiance, a luminous pearl slowly rose. The scene of wind and thunder arising and fading, yin and yang alternating, was even more vivid, with every detail clearly visible, incredibly mysterious.

The Cloud Wanderer's previous statement about needing to overdraw one's Qi Sea to activate the Wuxiá Zhū was apparently not a fabrication. His internal energy was frantically pouring into the Wuxiá Zhū, and the violent fluctuations in his energy were visible to the naked eye.

However, this time was quite different from the last time when they were in the underground magma. While Yun Zi's spiritual energy was absorbed by the Wuxi Zhu, it seemed that something else was also being taken away - his vital essence!

The wandering ascetic, whose features were already very aged, now looked ashen, with not a trace of blood. The wrinkles on his face deepened further, and his breath grew weaker at an alarming rate, leaving him extremely feeble.

It can be described as light as a feather.

But what followed was a dramatic transformation of the massive pearl.

Even from faraway Rohingya, he sensed the change here. He took a moment out of his busy schedule to glance back, his face filled with surprise.

Qin Sang first time seeing Yun You Zi triggered the full power of Wu Xian Zhu.

The orb shone brilliantly, emitting a dazzling azure light that nearly resembled a blue sun. An overwhelmingly powerful aura emanated from the flawless pearl.

This breath was very peculiar, it resembled demonic energy in several ways. Sensing this aura, both the man-headed owl and the hook serpent felt a sense of restlessness and unease.

The white-clothed scholar was unusually shocked, muttering to himself: "This aura seems like demonic energy, could it be a magic artifact refined from a demon pill"

Demon pills are born only within the bodies of demonic beasts that have broken through to the Demon Pill stage, similar to the Golden Pills of human cultivators.

Demons with demon cores have powers comparable to those of cultivators at the Dan Formation stage, and their numbers are as rare as cultivators at that stage.

However, whether it's a demon pill or a magic artifact refined from a demon pill, these Qi Refinement Stage cultivators are unable to reach that level.

Qin Sang was also unclear whether the demon pill could be used to refine artifacts, and he couldn't tell for sure what the Wú Xiá Zhū was.

He even suspected that Wú Xiá Zhū might be a magic artifact.

But Qin Sang quickly denied himself. If Wu Xian Zhu were truly a magic treasure, Yun Youzi wouldn't be able to use it if he wasn't at the Jindan stage.

The ten-directions king Yama banner in Qin Sang's mustard seed bag was also a genuine treasure. He had tried it countless times, but each attempt proved futile. The mixed yuan concentric ring obtained from the relics of the earth-deficient old man was no different.
