Chapter 590: Chapter 596: Loss Chapter 590: Chapter 596: Loss It sounded easy, but in reality, it took her more than half a year to complete this step.
Jiang Fengwu, using the readjusted array patterns, crafted an entirely new set of array plates and array flags. However, she didn’t imdiately set up the formation but instead ca out of seclusion to ask for Li Zhirui’s assistance.
Because she was worried that the burst of energy from the formation would be too powerful for her to control alone, which could potentially lead to a disaster.
Back on Wanxian Island, a well-rested Li Zhirui began studying the fragntary Pill Scripture; his goal was not to restore the pill recipe within, for after all, the Li family lacked several crucial dicinal herbs and restoring it would be useless. His main purpose was to learn about the pairing of spiritual dicines, alchemy techniques, and the likes.
This experience would aid Li Zhirui in deducing pill recipes in the future.
Such as the several fourth-tier spiritual dicines he had selected in Xuanfa State, all of which had effects that either increased mana or had slight Sun Transformation Divine Soul benefits, which were exactly what he needed.
But restoring a pill recipe was no easy feat, as it had an established frawork. It required a deeper understanding of the various spiritual dicines’ properties and the complexities of their interactions.
Then from the myriad of spiritual dicines, he had to find the exact one or few that perfectly fit into the gaps.
There were tis when Li Zhirui felt this was even more difficult than deducing a new pill recipe from scratch. Several tis he thought there were no issues, but upon reviewing the bigger picture, he realized he had chosen the wrong spiritual dicines.
Although he was psychologically prepared beforehand, knowing he couldn’t succeed in a short ti, the fact that he was still far from successful after several months truly dealt a blow to his confidence.
Moreover, this success referred to simulating alchemy, aning that the various properties wouldn’t conflict. As for actually producing a Precious Pill, he would have to test with real spiritual dicines to know the outco.
“No wonder they say restoring a pill recipe is even more difficult than creating one,” Li Zhirui lanted from his heart.
He had previously scorned the idea, after all, creating a pill recipe was a process from nothing to sothing, but now he understood that having nothing ant the freedom to improvise, the liberty to unleash his imagination wholly.
But restoring a pill recipe ant you had to stand in the perspective of the recipe itself, your path strictly defined. You must follow what it dictates, searching among countless spiritual dicines – a difficulty akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
However, this process wasn’t without benefits, at least Li Zhirui gained a much deeper understanding of the properties of various spiritual dicines, as well as the intricacies of their supportive and antagonistic relationships.
Knock knock—
Just as Li Zhirui was preparing to continue his tireless efforts in restoring the pill recipe, soone knocked on the door of his Alchemy Room.
“Has sothing big happened again?”
A few months earlier, Li Xuefeng had knocked once to inform Li Zhirui about the situation in Xuanfa State.
Facing the Demon Cultivators, Xuanfa Pavilion, already imnsely powerful on its own, along with the support of several big forces, didn’t suffer much. It was said that when the Demon Cultivators withdrew, barely one in a hundred survived! The majority of the lower-ranked Demon Cultivators’ lives were left on the lands of Xuanfa State.
There were even rumors that a Divine Transformation Demon Cultivator had fallen!
Added to the many Cultivators that perished, the southern part of Xuanfa State turned into a purgatory. With mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the vast Blood Sha energy enveloped the area in a red miasma. If left unattended, it was unknown what kind of terrifying creature might be born.
And the losses suffered by Xuanfa Pavilion were astronomical!
The auction, halfway through, could not continue, and though there was no worry about the spiritual objects being unsellable, their prices would definitely no longer be overly expensive, greatly reducing the profits of Xuanfa Pavilion.
There were also the costs of repairs for various structures destroyed by war, compensation for casualties, and the promised rewards for inviting powers to stay; these expenses were indeed significant.
Finally, there was the land contaminated by the carcasses’ blood and evil auras, and other filth. Just purifying such a vast area cost an astronomical sum.
Of course, as a business association, Xuanfa Pavilion certainly did not lack spirit stones or spiritual objects. The assault by the demon cultivators would not deal a severe blow to it, and it would recover before long.
However, Xuanfa Pavilion, which could once be said to be the center of attention from all over the world, had now completely lost face in front of nurous powers.
And, as expected, Xuanfa Pavilion would definitely retaliate against those demon cultivators who had made them lose face.
Li Zhirui simply could not understand what the demon cultivators had hoped to achieve by paying such a hefty price.
But if he knew their goal, then all their actions would beco understandable.
The demon cultivators suffered such heavy losses partially because their strength was too weak, but also because they did it intentionally!
They deliberately provoked a war they knew they would lose badly, for the purpose of cultivating an object, an object that could allow a demon cultivator at the Divine Transformation Completion Stage to break through to the Void Refinent more smoothly!
For this task, countless low-rank demon cultivators were expendable, and even those several Divine Transformation demon cultivators were sacrifices that could be made.
The demon cultivators retreated not because their losses were heavy, but because the object had already grown from the corpses and blood of countless cultivators; there was no need to continue the battle.
However, these secrets were too far removed from the Li family and beyond their knowledge, which is why Li Zhirui and the others found it all very baffling.
Speaking of which!
But when Li Zhirui opened the door to his room, the person who appeared before him was not Li Xuefeng, but Jiang Fengwu, who had previously been secluded, deducing formations!
“Fengwu, you’re out of seclusion? How did the formation deduction go?” However, considering how anxious she was to find him, it must have been a good progression.
“I’ve completed the first step of the formation to shatter space, and now we need to test it to see if there are any issues with the formation,” Jiang Fengwu said, “I’m worried I may not be able to control it myself and need your help.”
The process for the Li family to establish the Spirit Realm was actually an exact imitation of the well-known thods.
To put it simply, a Divine Transformation elder would make the first move, creating a crack in space, using it as the starting point to integrate it with the Spirit Vein, then expanding the internal area, and finally stabilizing the space. This would form a nascent Spirit Realm.
Legend has it that this thod was created by a remarkably talented loose cultivator, who publicly shared it to benefit other loose cultivators.
And since this high-end thod was made public, and because the threshold for it was so high that not many powers t the criteria, coupled with the widespread dissemination which made banning it difficult, major powers have been disinclined to prevent the spread of this thod.
What’s more, over the years, major powers had further improved this thod, turning it into a Spirit Realm establishnt thod imbued with their own characteristics.
“Let’s go!” Li Zhirui was also eager to witness the formation capable of unleashing a strike comparable to that of a Divine Transformation.
