"Three-legged Golden Toad?" Liu Zhen frowned slightly when he heard this and shook his head. "I've indeed heard of such a divine object, but I've never seen one before."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi's heart sank.

Liu Zhen continued, "I heard that the Three-legged Golden Toad is a holy creature of the Barren land. It only has one preference in its life, which is gold and silver. It will never live in an ordinary place but the one where money is accumulated."

"That's right. However, in today's world, the place where money is stored is clearly not suitable for the Three-legged Golden Toad to live. Therefore, it will be more difficult to find this kind of spiritual object, unless there are some secret ancient imperial tombs that have not been unearthed. However, in this era, the ancient tombs in Hua Country are probably even harder to find than the Three-legged Golden Toad." Xiao Yi said helplessly.

"That's not necessarily true." Liu Zhen said after thinking for a moment.

"Oh? Liu Zhen, why do you say this?" A thought passed through Xiao Yi's mind as he hurriedly asked.

Liu Zhen raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Yi. He smiled and said, "Xiao Yi, do you still remember where my Skylaurel Crow egg came from?"

"The egg of the Skylaurel Crow?" Xiao Yi recalled when he heard this. He immediately said, "Ancient ruins? I remember that you said that the egg was found in an ancient ruin. Could it be that the ancient ruins have more gold?"

"That's right, Xiao Yi," Liu Zhen said, nodding his head. His expression had turned grave. "The ancient ruin site was huge beyond compare. I didn't have a high level of cultivation back then, but I was lucky to have some friends. There were a few friends who brought me along to walk down the ruins to search for treasure. To be honest, I'm very ashamed of myself. We only explored the outer boundaries for a bit, but we met with endless dangers. Two of my friends even unfortunately perished and never returned. I risked my life to only find one ancient talisman, the egg. However, my cultivation is different now. Although I'm still weak, you're already at the mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm Realm. Xiao Yi, it's natural that you'll be able to explore the ancient ruins. When that time comes, you might even encounter the other spiritual herbs, much rarer than the Three-legged Golden Toad."

Xiao Yi's heart moved when he heard this. He nodded deeply.

This news undoubtedly piqued Xiao Yi's interest. The medicinal ingredients that he needed at this moment were more than one. He still had no clue about the final ingredient for saving Jiuer, the 'Nine Heavens Water'. He had also promised little fox to refine the Calamity-surviving Pill but had only found a main ingredient. He was still missing three of the ingredients.

But now, Gu Lu was about to transform, and it lacked the Calamity-surviving Pill alone. As a result, it had been suppressing its cultivation, not daring to take the chance to make further progress.

In that case, this trip to the ancient ruins was really unavoidable.

"How is it, Xiao Yi? If you are interested in moving forward, I will immediately gather those friends of mine. Everyone is familiar with each other. It is possible for you to achieve twice the result with half the effort." Liu Zhen smiled and asked.

"I can give it a try. If that's the case, I'll have to trouble you." Xiao Yi cupped his fists and said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhen hastily waved his hand and said, "It's my pleasure."

Xiao Yi said no more and asked in detail, "Where the ancient ruins is?"

"In the desert of Westernmost Land, where the natural environment is extremely bad. However, for us who are cultivators, there is not a need to be afraid." Liu Zhen replied.

Xiao Yi nodded his head, but he also said, "However, I'm afraid that I can't go immediately. I need to return to the Dark Medical Sect to deal with some matters of the sect. I also need to make some preparations for this trip."

"Understand. Xiao Yi, feel free to go. My friends are all rogue cultivators. It will take some time for them to gather together. When you are ready, just call me." Liu Zhen said straightforwardly.

The two men discussed some things they needed to pay attention to. After saying goodbye to each other, they went back to their respective sects.

There were two reasons why Xiao Yi was eager to hurry back to the Dark Medical Sect. One was that he had left his sect for many days. The other reason was that he felt a violent vital force surging in the Fire Dragon Cauldron. It was the mutant Clones of Blood God, which was stirring all the time.

If the problem of the Clones of Blood God was not solved, it would be big trouble for Xiao Yi, so he had to pay attention to it.

As a result, without even having the chance to return to his home in Hai City, he immediately rode on the Skylaurel Crow and headed straight back to the sect.

Fortunately, when he returned to the sect, he noticed that everything was normal.

Deep within the valley, there was a thick fog shroud. Though there were some sounds of birds and insects, the only thing that could be heard was the chirping. The real scene could not be seen.

The huge Dark Medical Sect was hidden without a trace under the Polaris Formation of Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi nodded slightly and moved his fingers to cast an incantation gesture. Then, a ray of Divine Awareness went straight through the mist and entered the sect.

A moment later, the thick fog below them started to churn. Soon after, a huge door appeared. It was the magnificent mountain gate of the Dark Medical Sect.

Xiao Yi's Skylaurel Crow immediately flew in.

There was another world inside. Flowers blossomed like brocades, rivers flowed under bridges, cranes hovered in the air, and spiritual beasts moved around. It was a kind of fairy style.

Under the Polaris Formation, the spirit energy within the door of the Dark Medical Sect was many times denser than that turbid world outside.

The incense of medicine in the furnace was curling up, the refining rooms were lit up by the fire, and the people in the martial arts practice field were shouting. Everything was in order in the Dark Medical Sect.

As soon as he came in, he saw a giant snow-white wolf, about ten feet long, rushing through the mountains. A golden-haired girl, crouching on the back of the wolf, giggled.

A golden shadow, with four wings flashing, chased after them with great pleasure.

That was the Utmost Wolf King, little Yilianna, and Gu Lu playing among the mountains.

As soon as Xiao Yi appeared, Gu Lu naturally noticed. It immediately rushed over, leaving the wolf behind.

"Master! You're back!" Rumbling its wings, Gu Lu immediately circled around Xiao Yi. It appeared to be very happy and close to him.

"Haha, Gu Lu, you can't catch up to me, can you?" The Utmost Wolf King, who was carrying Yilianna, came over without a care in his heart. He didn't even have time to greet Xiao Yi as he laughed out loud.

"Tch, you want to compete in speed with me? Old wolf, you should train for another few thousand years." Gu Lu said with disdain.

"Oh, kid, you sure have a big tone. If you're not convinced, why don't we have a good race one day?" The Utmost Wolf King yelled as he glared at it.

Gu Lu snorted and did not want to talk to him at all.

However, one could also tell that the Utmost Wolf King had become extremely familiar with Gu Lu during this short period of time when he had arrived at the Dark Medical Sect.

Seeing Xiao Yi, little Yilianna immediately rolled down from Utmost Wolf King's back. Her face was red as she pounced on Xiao Yi. She laughed and said, "Xiao Yi, you're finally back. You don't know how many times Mu Qingwan has talked about you."

While they were conversing, they heard a clear voice that was as clear as water behind them. "Yilianna, what are you talking about?"

Little Yilianna turned her head and saw that the giant Old Ape was carrying a person on its shoulder as it slowly walked over.

That person was on the old ape's shoulder, wearing a set of pure white clothes. Her long and supple hair scattered down on her back, and her shoes and white socks made her look free from dust.

It was the matriarch of the Dark Medical Sect, Mu Qingwan.

The Utmost Wolf King and Gu Lu, who were originally laughing and joking, immediately became courteous at the sight of Mu Qingwan. They were more polite to her than to Xiao Yi.

The Old Ape walked to the front and bent slowly to put down Mu Qingwan. Then, with a sway of his body, it turned into the gray-clothed old man. He bowed to Xiao Yi and said, "Greetings, Sect Leader!"

As soon as Xiao Yi raised his hand, the Old Ape stood behind the Mu Qingwan in a good manner, without saying a word.

Mu Qingwan's eyebrows were like a picture, and she looked like a graceful fairy. She looked at Xiao Yi with endless tenderness in her eyes. She slowly came forward and said with a smile, "You are back!"

"Qingwan!" Xiao Yi quickly stepped forward and held her hand. He asked with a smile, "Is everything alright? How are you?"

"All right!" Mu Qingwan answered with a smile. "It's just that the few deputy sect masters and elders have been working hard. They've been busy running the affairs for the sect. I've also heard little Yilianna talk about what happened to you in Country M. It made my heart skip a beat. It's a good thing that there's always someone blessed by the heavens. In the end, everything will be good for you."

The two of them walked back to their room, hand in hand, as they spoke softly.

Xiao Yi looked at Mu Qingwan for a while and immediately put his hand on her belly. Then he put his ear on it. After listening for a while, he said with a smile, "Is my son clever?"

Mu Qingwan heard Xiao Yi's words and instantly blushed. She smiled and said, "How do you know it's a son? You haven't checked the pulse."

"It's better to have a daughter. I would be really lucky to have a daughter who is as beautiful and clever as her mother!" Xiao Yi said with a smile.

Mu Qingwan didn't quarrel with him, but just smiled and said nothing. As usual, she brought warm water to help Xiao Yi wash away the dust on his body.

Xiao Yi prettily changed into fresh and clean clothes and lay down on the bed.

However, as soon as he lay down, he was pulled up by Mu Qingwan.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yi asked with a smile.

However, Mu Qingwan said, "Go to the room next door and it's clean."

"Why?" Xiao Yi asked in surprise.

Mu Qingwan's face turned a little red, and she whispered, "You can't share the bed with the baby within three months, or you will scare the spirit of the fetus. You are a miracle-working doctor. Don't you know this?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly. He whispered in Mu Qingwan's ear, "In fact, it doesn't matter if we are more careful."

After listening to Xiao Yi's words, Mu Qingwan blushed even more, but she was even more determined to push Xiao Yi to the next room.

Xiao Yi couldn't do anything about it. In front of the matriarch of this sect, he had no room for resistance and could only concentrate his mind.

However, he walked to the inner square and looked around at the high platform. He sat down cross legged and felt the dense spirit power as he meditated in peace.

Only when the moon was clear, the wind was calm and the stars were bright, did Xiao Yi suddenly open his eyes.

He released the Fire Dragon Cauldron.

Then, with a thought, he took out the Clones of Blood God.

Its entire body was crimson red as a blood light surged out. There were two Soul-subduing Nail inserted into the Ni Wan and Elixir Field. Thus, its eyes were tightly shut. Even so, however, a fierce aura continued to surge out from within its body.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!" This savage killing intent wasn't able to block it, and it was still able to seep out.

Xiao Yi's brows were tightly knitted together, but he did not touch it for the time being. With a thought, he connected with the Polaris Formation. In an instant, the stars had shifted and a star radiance was floating on the platform.

With a wave of Xiao Yi's hand, three formation flags flew out from all over the mountain gate and landed in Xiao Yi's hand.

It was the Qi Sha, Po Jun, and Tan Lang's Star Flags.

Among the hundred and eight stars, these three stars were known as the three great killing stars.

The Clones of Blood God itself was extremely bloodthirsty. Furthermore, it had integrated with the Blood Devil Sword that had slaughtered countless creatures. Even though its spiritual intelligence had just been developed, it had a massacring nature. How could normal methods be able to resolve the violent killing intent within its body?

As such, Xiao Yi had long wanted to kill it!

Using killing to stop killing naturally reminded him of the Three Killing Stars. He needed to use the power of stars to refine the violent killing intent within the Clones of Blood God.

Xiao Yi shook his hand, and three formation flags came out of his hand, respectively inserting into three positions on the platform. Then, with the stimulation of his Divine Awareness, the starlight on the formation flags swayed, and three stars shined, forming a small starlight vortex on the platform.

The vortex was so heavy that the temperature on the platform suddenly dropped by a few degrees.

However, this murderous aura was completely different from that of the Clones of Blood God.

This murderous aura was bitingly cold and imposing, just like the ancient battlefield of thousands of troops. It was majestic and vigorous.

The Clones of Blood God's violent and irrational killing intent was obviously at a disadvantage when it faced the Three Killing Stars.

Once the vortex was formed, Xiao Yi used his True Energy to roll the Clones of Blood God into the vortex.

A cluster of starlight slowly surrounded the Clones of Blood God.

Xiao Yi shook his hand and pulled out the two Soul-subduing Nail.

"Roar!" The Clones of Blood God emitted a low growl and opened both of his eyes, which were filled with a fierce light.

"Kill, kill, kill!" With a few low growls, it blurted out. The next moment, its body was about to move as he rushed out of the vortex.

"How dare you?" Xiao Yi growled and raised his hand. A talisman that he had prepared came out of his hand and hit the Clones of Blood God's face.

The Clones of Blood God paused for a moment, feeling that its blood was frozen and could not move at all.

With another thought from Xiao Yi, the Clones of Blood God sat down like a walking corpse.

Three nearly visible starlights fell straight down from the night sky and completely submerged into the Clones of Blood God's head.

The Clones of Blood God trembled and could no longer make a sound.

Xiao Yi didn't stop. His whole body shook slightly, and then the Seven Stars Sword Pill from Li Min of the Kunlun came out of his body.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yi injected a Seven Stars Sword Pill into the body of the Clones of Blood God.

The Seven Stars Sword Pill had been nourishing Xiao Yi's body for a long time. It was able to quietly refine Xiao Yi's body with the help of the stars.

Now, Xiao Yi was actually willing to inject the Seven-Star Sword Pill into the Clones of Blood God, which had a profound meaning.

The power of a star was the refinement of the Clones of Blood God. On one hand, it was to "give evil a way out". On the other hand, it was to use the Seven Stars Sword Pill as a medium to absorb the killing intent in the body of the Clones of Blood God, and to expel it by the Three Killing Stars.

The killing intent inside the Clones of Blood God was immense and pure, which was caused by the integration of the Sword Spirit of the Blood Devil Sword. Wouldn't it be a great pity if the Clones of Blood God was refined in vain?

As for the Seven Stars Sword Pill, it was a weapon to begin with. Under this arrangement, Xiao Yi was confident that after the refinement was completed, the Seven Stars Sword Pill's grade would also greatly increase.

After dealing with all this, Xiao Yi slowly walked down the platform. Then, with a wave of his hand, he placed layers of restrictions around the platform.

Moreover, he reminded Gu Lu to guard the platform and not allow anyone to get close to it. They had to ensure that everyone was absolutely safe and sound.
