The ten-year time limit was up.
In these ten years, Xuan Xing had only found three pieces of high grade jingshi and nearly a hundred pieces of middle grade jingshi.
In his previous life, Xuan Xing had looked down on these crystals. Unless they were of the highest grade, those crystals were simply a bunch of numbers in his eyes. At that time, his cultivation was high, so he looked down on these crystals. But now, in order to find a few pieces of jingshi, he had actually run around for ten years, and he had only found three pieces. Even those middle-grade jingshi that he had encountered had been put away.
Other than the three pieces of high-grade crystals, he also found some spirit herbs. However, their levels were not high. At most, they were middle-grade herbs. However, using the method he learned from the alchemy chapter, he actually refined two furnaces of nearly three Return Essence Pills. The Return Essence Pill was the best quality among the intermediate pills. It could quickly replenish the consumed true essence, which could be considered a pleasant surprise.
He had already searched the entire southern region in the past ten years, especially in the ocean, but he had not found anything. The time agreed upon had already expired, and he had to rush back to meet them. He hoped that the three of them would be able to find something. Xuan Xing could only comfort himself in this way.
In Xuanling Sect, Qing Song was currently pacing around anxiously because his disciple Luo Suo was seriously injured. Luo Suo was the disciple that he thought highly of. Although he was not as steady as his other senior brothers, Luo Suo had the best comprehension and the fastest cultivation speed among his disciples. He had already planned to hand Xuanling Sect over to him in the future. But now, his favorite disciple was actually unconscious. How could he not be anxious?
"Sect Master Green Pine, what happened?”It turned out that Xuan Xing had just returned at this time. Seeing Qing Song's anxious appearance, he asked.
Qing Song didn't notice Xuan Xing's arrival because of his confusion. He only reacted when Xuan Xing asked him.
"Oh, Xuan Xing, you're back. Did you find any jingshi?”Although he was worried about Luo Suo's injuries, he couldn't ignore the fact that this concerned the future of their Jade Origin Planet.
"Ai, I only found one hundred middle ranked crystals and three high ranked crystals. As for top ranked crystals, I didn't find anything at all.”Xuan Xing asked.
"This time, I went out with a few disciples and only found two high grade crystals. The rest were all middle and low grade crystals. It's already very good that you found three yourself.”Qing Song also said with a bitter face.
In fact, it was reasonable to have so few crystals. After all, there were cultivators on Green Source Planet, and most of them were below the Nascent Soul stage. They needed crystals even more. The jingshi they used were all found on Green Origin Star, so it was normal for them to have fewer jingshi now.
"Right, Sect Leader Green Pine, you seemed to have some troublesome matter just now?”Xuan Xing asked again.
"Sigh, Little Six almost lost his life this time. He's still unconscious.”Qing Song's eyes were actually wet.
"Something happened to Brother Luo? What's going on?" Although he hadn't spent much time with Luo Suo, Xuan Xing still felt that he was a good person.
"Little Six went with us when we went out to look for crystals. Besides our Xuanling Sect, there was also a rogue cultivator in the east. His name was Zhou Qing and he was also in the Aurous Core stage. I originally planned for Xuanling Sect to go by ourselves, but Zhou Qing said that he was also a member of Green Source Star and he had the obligation to help. However, not long ago, he found an opportunity to seriously injure Xiao Liuzi when he was alone. He snatched Xiao Liuzi's flying sword and escaped. Sigh, it's all my fault for being careless.”Qing Song told Xuan Xing what had happened.
Xuan Xing now knew the whole story. It was caused by greed. Xuan Xing remembered Zhou Qing's name in his heart.
"Sect Master Green Pine, take me to see Brother Luo now. I want to see if I can help with his injuries.”
Qing Song could only try his best now. Besides, he always felt that he couldn't look at Xuan Xing with ordinary eyes. Just like how he proposed to build a teleportation array, this wasn't something that an ordinary person could do.
Qing Song led Xuan Xing to Luo Suo's room.
Luo Suo lay there quietly, his face devoid of any color. If it wasn't for his chest heaving up and down, he would have been no different from a dead man. Seeing Xuan Xing, he felt a wave of pain in his heart.
He walked over and circulated his Zhen Yuan in Luo Suo's body. He found that there was no problem with his meridians, but his Zhen Yuan could not form a complete cycle. He used his divine sense to check Luo Suo's body and finally found that his golden core was almost broken!
At this moment, Xuan Xing also frowned. Luo Suo's situation was a bit special. His golden core was damaged. If this was in the world of self-cultivators, a cultivator at the Form Synthesis Stage could cure him. However, there were no cultivators at the Form Synthesis Stage here.
"Xuan Xing, do you have any ideas?" Qing Song looked at Xuan Xing expectantly. He really hoped that Xuan Xing would give him another surprise.
Xuan Xing shook his head." Brother Luo's injury is very serious. If there were a cultivator at the Form Synthesis Stage, he could be easily cured. But we don't have any experts here.”
Qing Song's heart turned cold when he heard Xuan Xing's words. How could he not know this? He was not only worried about Luo Suo, but also hated himself. If his cultivation reached the Form Synthesis Stage, Xiao Liuzi would be fine. He hated himself for being useless. He hated himself for not taking good care of his most beloved disciple! Unable to control the sadness in his heart, two lines of tears actually flowed down his face.
Xuan Xing's heart ached when he saw Qing Song's sad face. Brother Luo had such a good master who cared about him, but who cared about him?
"Sect Master Green Pine, there is actually another way.”While Qing Song was grieving, Xuan Xing once again gave him a glimmer of hope.
"What is it? Tell me, tell me quickly." Qing Song excitedly hugged Xuan Xing's shoulders and asked.
Xuan Xing understood his feelings now, so he didn't let him be like this.
"The second method is to refine a pill called the Returning Origin Pill. However, I don't have much confidence in this method.”Xuan Xing voiced out his idea. The Returning Origin Pill could heal any injury below the Nascent Soul stage. Its effect was the same as the top-notch pill of the cultivation world, the Meteoric Separation Pill, but its effect was far inferior.
Xuan Xing's method was to use the Spirit Origin Fruit he had just obtained to refine the Returning Origin Pill. This pill was not very useful to people above the Nascent Soul stage, so people in the cultivation world generally would not use high-level spirit herbs like the Spirit Origin Fruit to refine the almost useless Returning Origin Pill.
He had just obtained the Spirit Origin Fruit, and he still had six of them. If he could save Luo Suo, it would not be a big deal even if he used one.
"Origin Returning Pill?" Qing Song's excited mood also cooled down. Of course he knew about the most useless medicine in the cultivation world.
"I have the Spirit Origin Fruit here, but I'm not confident that I can successfully refine it.”Xuan Xing's words once again gave Qing Song hope.
"Xuan Xing, then I'll leave it to you. Our sects aren't good at refining talismans and pills, so I'll be depending on you.”Qing Song said to Xuan Xing in a pleading tone. He once again hated himself for being useless.
"Don't worry, I'll do my best. Brother Luo's injuries can't be delayed any longer, or else it'll be even more troublesome. Prepare a quiet room for me, I'll immediately go and refine it.”Xuan Xing was ready to start refining the Origin Returning Pill immediately. Fortunately, he had collected all the low-grade supplementary herbs.
Qing Song didn't dare to make any mistakes regarding the life of his little sixth son, so he immediately brought Xuan Xing into the secret room where he usually cultivated. "Xuan Xing, you can refine inside. I'll go out and protect you.”Qing Song knew that refining pills and forging weapons could not be disturbed by the outside world, so he directly retreated.
Xuan Xing did not have much confidence in himself. He was betting on whether or not the pill refinement manual that his cheap master had passed down to him would succeed.
After refining the storage ring and the pill, Xuan Xing had also discovered that the things his cheap master had passed on to him seemed to be of a very high grade. Therefore, he also wanted to test if it was really as he had imagined.
He still used five pieces of middle-ranked jingshi to set up a blazing flame formation. However, this time, there were two hand seals to activate the formation. One was the slow fire, and the other was the martial fire. The timing of changing the flame had to be grasped accurately, or else it would be considered a failure.
First, he placed some supplementary medicinal herbs into the formation and used the martial fire to refine the impurities. When those medicinal herbs had turned into a green and thick liquid, he also put a Spirit Origin Fruit into it. The moment the Spirit Origin Fruit melted, Xuan Xing made the next hand seal. The white flame turned into a faint red color. At this point, Xuan Xing heaved a sigh of relief. The most difficult part of the process was grasping the opportunity just now. His luck was not bad. The first time he refined it, he actually succeeded. The final process was indeed as he had expected. He successfully refined three Essence Returning Pills.
Qing Song looked at the light green pill in front of him and his lips twitched in excitement." Xuan Xing, thank you. If you need anything in the future, feel free to look for Xuanling Sect. I'm willing to go through mountains of knives and seas of fire.”
"Sect Leader Green Pine is too polite. Hurry up and give it to Brother Luo.”Ask Xuanling Sect for help? Xuan Xing was clear about his own matters. The current Xuanling Sect could not help him at all.
He could already get out of bed by the third Heavenly Net Lock. He believed that he would be able to recover in another month.
"Brother, it's all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to drink fine wine or see beautiful women anymore.”Luo Suo said as soon as he saw Xuan Xing. He was already so injured, yet he still thought about good wine and beautiful women. Xuan Xing was completely convinced by him.
As Xuan Xing was the first to return, he continued to wait for news from the other two sects.
Three months passed and Liu Yue finally arrived at Xuanling Sect.
However, she didn't gain anything, only finding two pieces of high-grade jingshi. Now, they could only hope that Lei Yan could bring them good news, but they did not believe that Lei Yan could find fifty-four pieces of high-grade crystal stones and one piece of top-grade crystal stone by himself.
Another month passed and Lei Yan finally arrived at Xuanling Sect.
"Sect Leader Lei, how was your harvest?”Although Qing Song knew that it was impossible for him to gather the remaining jingshi, he still asked with a glimmer of hope.
"This time, I only found a piece of high grade crystal and some mid grade low grade ones.”Lei Yan told him about his gains.
Everyone was not surprised when they heard this. They were all similar, but they could not help but be a little disappointed.
"However, I discovered a mysterious formation this time. I only entered the edge of the formation and almost didn't come out.”Lei Yan continued while everyone was feeling disappointed.
