The Black King set out.
On the third day after eting Luo Chen, it quietly departed with the map drawn by Luo Chen in hand.
Its destination: Purple Spirit Island in the depths of the Demon Sea.
Luo Chen, occupied with refining arrays to nurture his Magic Items, could not spare ti in the short term. Yet, he was unwilling to delay this matter, thus he could only entrust soone to undertake this journey in his stead.
Technically, Tian Xuan was a more suitable candidate.
Humanoid with avian traits, her mastery of the Ninety Thousand Miles Technique granted her unparalleled speed.
However, in the boundless sea teeming with powerful Demon Beasts, danger lurked everywhere. Compared to speed, absolute strength offered far more reliability.
The Black King, now infinitely close to the Third-Order Late Phase, wielded Innate Demon Techniques and two dium Grade Treasure Flying Daggers bestowed by Luo Chen, forming a formidable combat prowess.
It was qualified to venture into the depths of the Demon Sea!
Besides, Tian Xuan had been managing various trifles for Luo Chen over the years, including handling affairs with the Zhang Family and the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering. If she were to leave suddenly, Luo Chen would be forced to step in personally if anything arose, which would be overly troubleso.
After a brief consideration, Luo Chen decisively tasked the Black King with investigating the presence of the Purple Monkey Flower on Purple Spirit Island.
The Purple Monkey Flower was one of the three major Fourth-Order principal materials for the Nascent Soul Formation Pill!
In the Immortal Cultivation World, it was presently obscure in reputation.
Yet in ancient tis, it was a rather notorious toxic flower.
The fragrance it spread in its habitat could disturb the souls of living beings, even consuming life souls as sustenance!
Moreover, this poisonous flower had a particular preference for disrupting half-spiritual-intelligence monkey-type Demon Beasts, functioning both as "livestock" to feed on and as protectors to fend off other powerful beasts that might attempt to harvest or devour it.
Humans in the Immortal Cultivation World suffered significant losses to this Spirit dicine before gradually discovering its uses.
Utilizing the flower in alchemy, refining incense, or even practicing Poison Techniques yielded enormous benefits.
Unfortunately, following the human-demon wars of ancient tis, the traces of the Purple Monkey Flower beca increasingly scarce.
In later generations, virtually no one associated this flower with the key materials required for Nascent Soul Formation Pills.
The Nascent Soul Formation Pill formula kept by Qingdan Valley originated from Han Zhan.
The story of Han Zhan obtaining this formula stems from the Cave Mansion of an ancient cultivator’s passing.
After securing the Soul Nourishing Wood from Coldlight Island for Han Zhan, Luo Chen obtained the complete Nascent Soul Formation Pill recipe from him.
Previously, Luo Chen had planned to rely on extensive trial and error, combined with the system, to deduce a complete formula. Little did he expect such a convenient outco in the end.
Now that he possessed the formula, Luo Chen naturally wouldn’t let it idle.
Even though he’d been busy over the years, he still managed to spare so ti to study the formula.
In his view, this Nascent Soul Formation Pill recipe undoubtedly bore the hallmarks of ancient style.
The characteristics of its auxiliary materials relied on an approach that emphasized quantity.
The three primary materials—Divine Kite Tail for protection, Five Elents Lotus Stand for guiding Qi, and Purple Monkey Flower for spirit infusion—perfectly aligned with the essence of Luo Chen’s comprehension of the Nascent Soul Formation Technique.
Essence, Qi, and Spirit—the Three Treasures unifying into one.
Judging by the direct and concise style of this formula, it was domineering and straightforward, demanding high foundational strength from its users—Luo Chen found this entirely satisfactory.
His foundation was already extraordinary, perhaps even terrifying.
If it were any other Nascent Soul Formation Pill, he might harbor doubts. But with this formula, he decided without hesitation to proceed.
In the world of cultivators, all pursued the ultimate goal of Dao-seeking ascension and eternal longevity.
There were countless paths leading to this goal.
Even starting from Qi Refinent, the paths began to diverge continuously.
Various Spirit Roots, diverse physiques, manifold attributes, and nurous races.
The array of Foundation Establishnt Spirit dicines stretched far and wide, Core Formation thods were categorized extensively, and Nascent Soul Formation techniques remained bizarre and varied according to individual circumstances.
This formula’s resultant Nascent Soul Formation Pill undoubtedly matched Luo Chen perfectly, sparing him the effort of seeking other auxiliary resources for the formation.
Over the years, Luo Chen had gradually gathered the auxiliary materials required for the Nascent Soul Formation Pill. Now, only the three principal materials remained.
"I have one Divine Kite Tail; the quantity is insufficient, but the intelligence system of the Demon Hunter Bureau has ascertained that transactions involving Divine Kite Tail occasionally occur within the Canghai Alliance. After all, the area occupied by the Canghai Alliance was once the most fertile region of the North Sea, aside from Beiji Yemo Tian, and boasts the densest concentration of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators."
"Once my cultivation level is complete, a visit to the Canghai Alliance will be inevitable, whether by myself or sending soone in my stead."
"And now, there’s news about the Purple Monkey Flower..."
A look of anticipation surfaced in Luo Chen’s eyes.
According to records in miscellaneous texts, the entire island of Purple Spirit Island was shrouded in a toxic mist of purple light, an indication of potentially abundant Purple Monkey Flowers growing there.
If he could seize control of this island, Luo Chen wouldn’t have to worry about the supply of Purple Monkey Flowers.
"I hope the Black King can bring good news!"
Luo Chen murmured, though he harbored little confidence in his heart.
After all these years, and with so many major events having transpired in the North Sea—such as the Demon Alliance Army’s astonishing assault on the Yuan Mo Sect—who knew if Purple Spirit Island still existed?
Having the Black King take this trip not only helped him scout ahead but also mitigated certain potential "dangers."
"Unfortunately, there’s still no news about the Five Elents Lotus Stand. Despite all these years, even ancient records contain minimal references to it."
"Occasionally ntioned, they are rely a fragnt—’Attributes of Five Qi, Essence of Five Elents.’"
Gazing into the hopeful anticipation within his eyes, Luo Chen couldn’t help but feel so lancholy.
Despite his rumored cultivation speed akin to possessing Heavenly Spirit Root talent, he wasn’t a true Heavenly Spirit Root bearer.
According to legends, individuals with Heavenly Spirit Roots faced hardly any hindrance when ascending to Nascent Soul, with only the matter of transcending tribulation to consider.
He, however, was different.
Thus, he had to account for external aids.
For years, he had sought Spirit dicines to augnt these external aids.
