C22 Refining Pills and Setting up Formations

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the City Lord, the guard shuddered violently, his eyes filled with shock.

"You piece of trash, get the hell out of here!"

Seeing that the guard was silent like cicadas in winter, Gongsun Zhi impatiently chased him away.

After the guard left, his expression changed indeterminately, and a feeling of irritation and uneasiness arose in his heart.

The young man from the Shi family was gradually displaying an increasingly powerful strength, causing Gongsun Zhi to feel extremely panicked and uneasy.

He had brutally killed most of the people from the Shi family.

With that young man's vengeful personality, he would never let him go.

As for why that guy didn't cause him trouble immediately, Gongsun Zhi had a feeling that he was plotting something.

Perhaps, he was already discussing a plan to deal with him.

The more Gongsun Zhi thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

He felt that he couldn't drag this on any longer. He had to eliminate all the remaining survivors of the Shi family as soon as possible.

If not, he wouldn't be able to eat and sleep in peace.

However, with the strength of the City Lord's Mansion alone, he really didn't dare to cause trouble for the Shi family.

For a moment, Gongsun Zhi knitted his brows tightly, feeling that this matter was incomparably troublesome.

But soon, when he thought of the two cities near the Wind Thunder City, his eyes lit up, and a smile gradually emerged on his face.

The Wind Thunder City was relatively chaotic, and it was controlled by the five major powers.

However, the two cities near the Wind Thunder City had already been completely unified, and were controlled by two powers that were even stronger than the Gongsun Family.

If he could convince those two powers to join forces with him to deal with the Shi family, he would have a lot of confidence at that time.

As for how he could convince those two powers, Gongsun Zhi had an idea in his mind.

The young man from the Shi family had a lot of secrets.

He felt that the leaders of the two major powers would be interested in the secrets Shi Xuan had.

Although Gongsun Zhi really wanted to keep this secret for himself, he knew that it was impossible for him to keep it for himself just by relying on the power of the City Lord's Mansion.

In that case, as long as he could eliminate the roots of the Shi family, he wouldn't hesitate to share the secret with them.

An idea gradually emerged in his mind, and the corner of Gongsun Zhi's mouth revealed a ferocious smile.

"Little bastard, just you wait. It won't be long before I tear you into pieces!"

A wave of muttering sounded out in the magnificent hall, and it contained bone-piercing cold killing intent.

...

On the other side, Shi Xuan and the clansman of the Shi family had returned to the Shi family.

In a spacious hall, everyone from the Shi family was standing inside.

Looking at the mountains of cultivation resources in the center of the hall, everyone's face was filled with joy.

Even Shi Xuan, who always wore a cold expression, revealed a rare smile.

The piles of resources in front of him were what he had plundered from the three great families.

Once all these resources were used, the strength of the remaining members of Shi family would increase rapidly.

At that time, even if Gongsun Zhi brought his men to attack, they would still have the strength to fight back.

Thinking of these aspects, Shi Xuan was somewhat expectant.

After encouraging the people to leave, Shi Xuan let them leave first. He put away the accumulated resources and walked towards the base of the Five Elemental Sky Origin Formation.

After the intense battle this morning, the energy in the Five Elemental Sky Origin Formation had almost been used up.

A few hours passed. The energy in the spirit crystal was constantly flowing away, and the formation was on the verge of collapse.

If he did not replenish the spirit crystal, it would not take long before the Five Elemental Heaven Origin Array collapsed.

Shi Xuan's objective this time was precisely to replenish the formation's energy.

He had just plundered the Treasury Vault of the three great families, and he had obtained more than fifty thousand middle-grade spirit crystal.

With so many spirit crystal, not only would it be more than enough to replenish the energy of the Five Elemental Heaven Origin Formation, it would also allow him to set up a more powerful Second Grade formation.

After spending ten thousand middle-grade spirit crystal to restore the operation of the Five Elemental Heaven Origin Formation, Shi Xuan pondered for a moment. Then, he spent another thirty thousand middle-grade spirit crystal to set up a small Second Grade Killing Formation, covering the core of the Shi family.

This killing formation was called the Bone Burning Heaven Formation, and it was one of the top Second Grade Formations. Its power could even be compared to some ordinary Third Level Formation, and it was enough to trap First Layer of Soul Controlling Stage warriors.

If some ordinary Martial Cultivator at the First Layer of Soul Controlling Stage's means weren't strong enough, they might even be exhausted to death if they recklessly charged into the Bone Burning Heaven Formation.

It was precisely because this formation was extremely terrifying that it required more than thirty thousand spirit crystal.

The reason Shi Xuan set it up was to prepare for the worst.

He didn't know when the City Lord, Gongsun Zhi, would come looking for trouble.

With Gongsun Zhi's First Layer of Soul Controlling Stage cultivation base, the Five Elemental Heaven Origin Formation wouldn't be able to stop him.

If the large-scale Second Grade formation was broken, he could bring the clansman of the Shi family and hide in the Burning Bone Formation to stop his opponent.

It took him an entire afternoon and an entire night to set up the Bone Burning Sky Formation.

At this moment, his face was pale, and more than 90% of the essence in his dantian had been consumed. A sense of weakness was transmitted to his heart.

The White Bone Burning Sky Array was indeed a peak Second Grade formation. Even with his current peak First Layer of Soul Refining Stage cultivation base, it would still take him a lot of effort to set it up.

However, after successfully setting up this formation, the huge rock that had tightened his heart silently fell down.

Next, while there were no strong enemies attacking him, he could use the resources he had plundered yesterday to refine all kinds of spirit pills and weapons to increase the overall strength of his clansmen.

Having an idea in his heart, Shi Xuan's eyes flashed with a bright light as he walked towards the family's hidden treasure room.

The last time he left the Treasury Vault, his father had given him the key to the treasure room, and he was now able to enter and exit that place as he pleased.

A moment later, he entered Treasury Vault, and closed the stone door tightly.

He took out all kinds of resources from the Chaos Heaven Devouring Cauldron and stared at the resources in front of him. After pondering for a while, Shi Xuan decided to refine a second grade pill called the Three Soul Stabilizing Pill.

That pill could give First Layer of Soul Refining Stage martial artists a 30% chance of breaking through to the Second Layer of Soul Refining Stage.

The higher the quality of the Three Soul Stabilising Pill, the higher the chances of a martial artist breaking through.

Currently, Shi Xuan's strength had already risen to the peak of the first level of the Soul Refining Realm.

He wanted to use this pill to break through his own bottleneck and increase his strength a little more.

Having an idea in his heart, Shi Xuan's eyes revealed a touch of firmness.

Next, after he picked out all the spirit materials from the Third Transformation Soul Stabilising Pill, he released the Chaos Heaven Devouring Cauldron and began to refine the pill.

Several hours passed very quickly.

When Shi Xuan had used up more than half of the Profound Qi in his dantian, a thumb-sized pill that gave off a fragrant smell and a strong fluctuation lay quietly inside the Chaos Heaven Devouring Cauldron.

Seeing the pill, a smile appeared on his face.

"It's actually a tier two seventh grade pill, not bad, not bad. With this pill, I have an eighty to ninety percent chance of breaking through to the Second Layer of Soul Refining Stage."

Picking up the pill in the cauldron, Shi Xuan carefully examined it. When he saw the seven pill marks on it, the smile on his face gradually widened.
