I awakened my god-tier passive skill early on and took off instantly

Inside the mountain cave, Lu Xin pondered for a long time, listing the things he needed to do in order of priority.

First, clear out his storage pouch;

Second, decide which magical artifact to refine;

Third, cultivate, including the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Art and finding some third-order spells to learn, and so on;

Fourth, collect spiritual items and rare water and fire objects to cultivate the Amethyst Star Pattern Fruit and upgrade the Nether Blue Ice Flame.

However, before doing the first thing, he decided to change locations.

Because before he and Ji Yue arrived here, they had been followed by a tail, likely the person who met Ji Yue in Myriad Immortals City.

It was hard to guarantee that he hadn't reported their location during that time.

So, for safety's sake, he had to change locations to prevent the Holy Heart Sect from coming to his door.

Without hesitation, Lu Xin left the mountain cave directly, heading towards the Chen Kingdom.

This journey took three days. With his full-speed flight, he arrived in the heart of the Chen Kingdom. He randomly found a desolate mountain and stopped.

He carved out a mountain cave and set up formations.

After completing the familiar operations, he went inside and began to complete the first task.

After a while, Lu Xin finally had an understanding of his financial resources.

He currently had more than 130,000 low-grade spirit stones, more than 1,000 middle-grade spirit stones, more than 100 various middle-grade magic tools, and dozens of first-order spells and Qi training techniques.

He also had a large pile of first-order pills, mainly Qi Recovery Pills, Qi Gathering Pills, and so on.

In addition, there was a pile of spiritual herbs that he hadn't even counted yet.

It could be said that with his current conditions, he could completely start a small sect and teach Qi training disciples with ease.

Unfortunately, he had no such intention, and there was still a pile of things waiting for him to do.

With the first task roughly completed, he began the second task: choosing a magical artifact to refine.

He took out the book recording magical artifact refining methods given to him by the Suspended Sky Holy Venerable. Lu Xin didn't touch it directly but used his magic power to wrap it and turn the pages one by one.

He looked very carefully. This book recorded the refining methods of seven magical artifacts, namely Jade Dragon Needles, Water Fire Fan, Bewitching Sound Zither, Golden Light Wheel, Demonic Dragon Ring, and so on.

It was unknown whether the Suspended Sky Holy Venerable did it on purpose, but they were all unique weapons.

Lu Xin looked left and right, analyzed the advantages and disadvantages, compared them carefully, and found that they were all about the same, temporarily suffering from choice paralysis.

"That's right, I can compare prices from several sources."

A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Lu Xin's mind. He quickly summoned Li Youlan from the bottle, and once again, the familiar angry scolding sounded:

"Junior, I have endured enough. Just destroy me directly."

Lu Xin grabbed her in his hand and said with a smile, "You can actually guess my thoughts, that's great. This time I let you out with this intention in mind."

"What?"

Li Youlan was shocked. "Junior, you wouldn't really be so heartless, would you?"

"It's not that I'm heartless, but that you have lost your value."

Lu Xin shook his head and directly reached out and placed Li Youlan in front of the magical artifact refining book, flipping it open for her to see, "This was given to me by the Suspended Sky Holy Venerable, so..."

"Don't..."

Li Youlan said anxiously, "Junior, although these magical artifacts are not weak, I know a more powerful magical artifact refining method."

"Oh?"

Lu Xin became interested. "Tell me about it."

Li Youlan said, "I can tell you, but you have to promise me to find a body for me as soon as possible."

"Tell me first, and I'll consider it."

"No, you have to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao first, otherwise, what if you go back on your word after I tell you?"

Lu Xin held her up in front of him, looking at her beautiful face and smiling, "Actually, I'm a pretty accommodating person, so..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Youlan angrily said, "Junior, are you really so ruthless?"

"Ruthless?"

Lu Xin chuckled, "What 'affection' is there between you and me?

You might as well try to move me first, such as telling me the magical artifact refining method or something. That way, if my heart softens, I might not be able to bring myself to kill you."

"You are truly shameless. Even the Suspended Sky Old Ghost's face, which has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, is not as thick as yours."

Li Youlan was so angry that she was fuming.

"Are you going to tell me or not?"

Lu Xin was covered in black lines. He had just realized that this woman's mouth was a bit poisonous.

"I'll tell you!"

Li Youlan shouted the most cowardly words in the harshest tone, "The magical artifact refining method I know was accidentally obtained in the secret realm where I collected the Nether Blue Ice Flame. It's called the True Yang Divine Sword!"

"True Yang Divine Sword?"

Lu Xin muttered, "The name sounds very powerful. What's the story behind it?"

Seeing this, Li Youlan snorted coldly and continued:

"This magical artifact needs to be refined with Fire Essence Profound Iron, True Yang Profound Evil, and other materials. It is a pure Yang artifact, and just placing it there has the power to suppress demons and ward off evil.

If it is combined with a cultivation technique, then it will be invincible in slaying demons and subduing evil."

"There's also a cultivation technique?"

Lu Xin asked, showing great interest in this magical artifact.

Seeing his appearance, Li Youlan wanted to negotiate, but after thinking about it, she decided against it and continued:

"The magical artifact and the cultivation technique are a set. They were originally recorded in a jade slip called the 'True Yang Subduing Evil Slaying Demon Art,' which can be cultivated directly to the Tribulation Transcending stage.

I obtained it in the past, but it conflicted with the cultivation technique I was practicing, so I didn't cultivate it."

"You still remember the cultivation technique?"

Lu Xin asked after a moment of contemplation.

"Of course I remember. Do you want it?"

Li Youlan looked at him.

"Would you give it to me?"

"I would, but you at least have to promise me a small condition."

"Tell me about it."

"My soul body can't last much longer. You have to find me a soul-nourishing object, otherwise, since I'm going to die anyway, you might as well just pinch me to death now."

"Your request is quite reasonable."

Lu Xin thought for a moment, "Okay, I promise you."

"Swear an oath."

Li Youlan didn't believe him at all.

Lu Xin didn't waste any time and directly swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao. Then, Li Youlan recited the cultivation technique to him.

"You didn't give me a version with missing words or sentences, did you?"

"What good would it do me if you cultivated it to death?"

"How would I know?"

"You..."

It was difficult for two people who didn't trust each other to cooperate.

It wasn't until Li Youlan was so angry that she directly swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao, ensuring that even if she were to be reborn in another body in the future, she would still be affected, that Lu Xin felt slightly relieved.

"Alright, you go back to the bottle and stay for a while. I'm going to cultivate."

"Remember, I only have a few years left. Don't delay for too long."

"Rest assured."

Lu Xin sealed Li Youlan again, put her into the storage pouch, and then began to think again.

Obviously, he really wanted to refine that True Yang Divine Sword. Leaving aside the materials, there was also the matching cultivation technique.

Ever since he awakened the system, he had been relying on [Breathing] to passively and automatically generate magic power. According to the system's introduction, this breathing was the most primitive cultivation method.

The so-called most primitive cultivation method, according to his understanding from reading novels in his previous life, was like some primordial beings who, before transforming, relied on instinct to generate magic power through breathing.

Therefore, after transforming, the starting point was either Golden Immortal or Grand Unity.

His passive ability seemed to be similar to this, so logically speaking, he could actively cultivate.

After understanding this, Lu Xin immediately decided to start cultivating the 'True Yang Subduing Evil Slaying Demon Art' to test its effects.
