Chapter 111: The Anomaly of the Palm Sky Bottle
Li Xuan watched the array operate completely, then finally breathed a sigh of relief; from now on, this Courtyard would count as Li Xuan's private territory.
Now that the array is finished, anyone who comes within dozens of meters of the Courtyard will be affected by the Burning Heart Divine Flame and Filthy Flame, igniting both kidney water and Heart Fire; whichever burns out first, that person's fate will be to be burned dry.
The people outside, having absorbed the toxic gas from the City of Slaughter, are even more sensitive to the Burning Heart Divine Flame, and under the influence of the Fenxin Array they cannot even enter Li Xuan's small Courtyard. Half an hour had passed since the black gauze girl left; they were sure she would not return, so they dared to gather outside Li Xuan's Courtyard.
What these people do not know is that the moment they approached Li Xuan's Courtyard, they had already fallen into Li Xuan's trap.
Li Xuan naturally paid no mind to them, took a serving of braised pork ribs and two bowls of rice from the Void Pearl, and happily began to eat.
Suddenly, a clamor erupted outside the Courtyard; finally someone started to make a move.
But they hadn't even climbed the wall; their Heart Fire was completely burned out, and they died at the wall's edge.
Li Xuan listened to the sounds outside while eating the braised pork ribs.
After swallowing the two bowls of rice, the noisy sounds outside quieted down.
The strangeness here scared the outsiders enough that they scattered like birds and beasts, no longer targeting Li Xuan; it was not easy to die, some were not worth the loss.
Li Xuan was pleased with this, went to the Lotus Platform, sat cross‑legged, began to circulate soul power, and started to heal the injuries in his body.
The Lotus Platform serves as the eye of the Fenxin Array and is the place with the densest Spiritual Energy in the whole array, making it the most suitable spot for Li Xuan to recover his injuries.
Thus Li Xuan sat on the Lotus Platform, gradually repairing the wounds in his meridians and muscles; Jian Douluo truly lived up to being Title Douluo, as a single sword qi almost tormented Li Xuan to death.
After a full day and night had passed, Li Xuan slowly opened his eyes.
"Damn, Chen Xin, you old bastard, one day the young master will make you die without a burial place!" Li Xuan snorted coldly, his voice full of Killing Qi.
But for now Li Xuan can only think about it; he doesn't have the ability to make a Title Douluo pay the price, yet in the not‑far future Li Xuan will definitely be able to kill Jian Douluo.
Li Xuan lowered his gaze; now that the injuries in his body have fully recovered, it's time to do something else, after all Li Xuan will be cultivating in the City of Slaughter for a long period.
Li Xuan jumped down from the Lotus Platform, then turned and infused half of his soul power into the Lotus Platform to sustain the array's daily consumption; after all, the Spiritual Energy in the soil will eventually be exhausted, and to slow that depletion Li Xuan needs to use his soul power to keep the array running.
After completing these tasks, Li Xuan turned his gaze to the house behind him.
The Courtyard has a main house, two side rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, all very well equipped.
Li Xuan first approached the main house, pushed open the door, and a thick layer of dust hit him; he quickly raised his hand to disperse the dust in the air.
"How long has no one lived here?" Li Xuan muttered irritably.
After entering the room, Li Xuan saw a skeleton and a belt in front of the skeleton.
He packed the skeleton and threw it outside the Courtyard, then picked up the belt and examined it carefully.
The belt was two finger‑widths wide, about two meters long, with three colored gems the size of pigeon eggs in the center.
"Could this be a Soul Guide Device?" Li Xuan muttered, furrowing his brows, then began to channel soul power into the three gems.
The next second, Li Xuan "saw" a small space, perhaps only a few cubic meters, but it was packed with all kinds of items. With a single thought he emptied everything out; most were junk like clothes, daily necessities, and so on.
"So this really is a Soul Guide Device," Li Xuan said excitedly.
This was Li Xuan's first official Soul Guide Device; his Void Pearl does not count as one.
Li Xuan took a damp towel, wiped the belt clean, and prepared to store it; with the Void Pearl he has enough, and the belt's storage space is rather small.
But at that moment, the Palm Sky Bottle suddenly appeared in Li Xuan's hand without his control; the next second, its cap opened automatically.
"Snap!"
One of the three gems on the belt suddenly cracked, a black spatial force drifted out of the gem, and was absorbed by the Palm Sky Bottle.
"What's going on?" Li Xuan wondered, looking at the Palm Sky Bottle in his palm.
Li Xuan thought for a moment, took the belt and brought another gem close to the small green bottle.
Another crisp crack sounded, the gem split, and a burst of spatial force entered the Palm Sky Bottle.
Li Xuan knew clearly that no amount of Soul Guide Devices could compare with the Palm Sky Bottle; he also wanted to see what use the Bottle had for the absorbed spatial force.
After absorbing all the spatial force from the Soul Guide Devices, Li Xuan took out several empty Void Pearls and brought them close to the Palm Sky Bottle.
Sure enough, the Void Pearls instantly cracked, and the spatial force inside was absorbed by the small green bottle.
When the Void Pearl cracked, a Kongming Grass seed was revealed; Li Xuan carefully preserved the seed for future use.
When Li Xuan left Tian Dou City, he purchased many supplies, so the Kongming Crystals were filled with food and drink, enough for ten years of living.
And Li Xuan's Void Pearls were filled with the soil from the Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan.
Li Xuan thought, packed the soil into boxes and placed them in the Courtyard, while the Void Pearls were used to provide spatial force to the small green bottle.
In the blink of an eye, over eighty Void Pearls were all absorbed by the Palm Sky Bottle, yet the Bottle still seemed not full.
It seemed the Palm Sky Bottle still needed more spatial force.
"Sigh, keep cultivating Void Pearls," Li Xuan sighed helplessly, then took out the Kongming Grass seed, planted it in the Courtyard, and gently poured the Green Spirit Liquid from the Palm Sky Bottle onto the Kongming Grass.
Immediately, under Li Xuan's astonished gaze, the Kongming Grass sprouted ten Void Pearls and one Kongming Crystal.
"What's happening? The small green bottle's amplification effect has reached a millennium! One drop of Green Spirit Liquid can boost a thousand years of cultivation?" Li Xuan widened his eyes and said in disbelief.
"Could it be because it absorbed the Spiritual Energy from the Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan?" Li Xuan wondered, furrowing his brows, then harvested all the Kongming Crystals and Void Pearls to give to the small green bottle.
After settling the Kongming Grass, Li Xuan returned to the room to clean, after all he would be living here for a long time.
