"You little girl." The skinny old man smiled faintly, his face somewhat lamenting as he said softly, "If those spoiled brats at home could be half as good as you, then I would be satisfied. Unfortunately, all of them are only good for looks but not good for anything. Although a few of them can be considered average, they are still lacking by a bit."
"Grandpa, you are asking too much of them. Besides, I will still be at home." The freckled girl smiled, revealing her neat teeth that were as white as jade.
The skinny old man looked at the freckled girl, then smiled and said, "You little girl are at home now, but girls will have to marry sooner or later."
"I won't marry. I said I will serve grandpa for the rest of my life." The freckled girl said shyly.
"Sigh, you little girl …" The skinny old man sighed softly, his eyes full of love. He then raised his brows slightly and looked towards the depths of the forest.
Seeing this, the freckled girl pursed her lips and said softly, "Grandpa, if you really can't let it go and have a fondness for talent, why don't you just kidnap that brat and bring him home? I don't believe he can overturn the heavens."
"Haha."
The skinny old man instantly laughed. "Little girl, are you trying to steal the bride? If you don't mind that the brat is a few years younger than you, then today this old man really will help you kidnap that brat and bring him home to be your husband. What do you think? This old man really likes that brat. "
"Grandpa, that's not what I meant. That brat is as stubborn as a donkey and doesn't know how to appreciate others' kindness. I don't like him at all." The freckled girl said shyly.
A smile appeared on the skinny old man's dark face, then he said softly to the freckled girl, "If that brat can escape this calamity, then he will truly be an extraordinary person in the future. My help today will not be in vain. In order to become a true expert, talent is very important, but training is essential. If that brat really wants to go home with me today, then even if he can become an expert in the future, his achievements will be limited and he will not be able to set foot on the true peak. He will be stuck by himself."
The freckled woman seemed to understand but not fully. Her eyes were bright as she said, "Grandfather, he is indeed very strong. However, with his strength, it will be difficult for him to escape the Black Fiend Sect's pursuit in the Dark Forest."
"Don't worry, the Medicine King is not that easy to deal with. With the addition of the Black Fiend Sect, that brat is actually much safer. The rest will depend on how that brat deals with them."
The wrinkles on the skinny old man's face rippled as he softly said to the freckled woman, "Girl, if you can see that young man again in the future, then if he needs help in the future, help him as much as you can. Make him owe you more favors. He is not the kind of person who doesn't return favors. Perhaps in the future, he will be able to help you a lot."
The freckled woman didn't say anything. On her dark and freckled face, her bright black eyes were deep and transparent. They were black like ink and white like jade, and they flickered like dewdrops. …
At dusk, in the continuous range of mountains, a cliff wall pressed down like an Azure Dragon with its head held high. It was so high that it looked like it was about to collapse.
At the peak of the mountain, the continuous forest covered the precipice. Clusters of unknown wild flowers jumped out from the rocky cliffs.
In a hidden cave, Du Shaofu lifted a huge rock and blocked the entrance of the cave. Then, he sat down cross-legged in the dark cave.
Then, Du Shaofu took out a large pile of Elixirs from his Qiankun bag. Among them were the Frost Jade Orange Flower and Crown Lotus that he had obtained from the freckled woman. Multicolored light spread out, illuminating the cave.
The energy fluctuations of the Elixirs made Du Shaofu have an impulse to swallow them whole.
Looking at the large pile of Elixirs in front of him, Du Shaofu could only hold back his saliva. The reason why he was looking for the Frost Jade Orange Flower and Crown Lotus was because he wanted to refine a Elixir.
This time, the Elixir that Du Shaofu wanted to refine was not for himself, but for his brother, Zhen Qingchun.
From his drunkard father, Du Shaofu knew that Zhen Qingchun's Primordial Spirit had been exhausted to the extreme, causing him to fall into a deep sleep. It would take some time for him to wake up. However, it might take a year or two, or even three to five years, or even longer.
However, if he could find some Elixirs that could restore the Primordial Spirit, he would be able to recover faster.
Therefore, Du Shaofu had been looking for Elixirs that were beneficial to the Primordial Spirit. He wanted to refine a type of Soothing Spirit Powder. A while ago, he was only missing the Crown Lotus and the Frost Jade Orange Flower. Therefore, Du Shaofu wanted to make a trip to Dark Forest Town to look for them.
The Soothing Spirit Powder was an Animal-Grade Elixir that could greatly increase one's Mental Energy. Du Shaofu did not know if the Soothing Spirit Powder would be of any use to his brother, Zhen Qingchun, but for now, this was the best he could do.
Elixirs and pills that could enhance one's mental strength were extremely rare in all kinds of businesses. They were absolutely scarce, and the supply simply couldn't meet the demand. It was difficult to purchase them.
In the Lanling Prefecture City, Du Shaofu had inquired about the Soothing Spirit Powder, but he did not find any suitable Elixirs. Not to mention the high price, one had to book a long time in advance. Therefore, he could only refine it himself.
At this moment, in the Dark Forest, Du Shaofu was constantly being pursued by the Black Fiend Sect. In his heart, he was thinking that if Big Brother Zhen Qingchun was here, perhaps he would be much more relaxed, and perhaps wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
"These Elixir Ingredients are hard to come by. I hope I don't fail."
Looking at the pile of Elixir Ingredients in front of him, Du Shaofu started to feel nervous. If the refining failed, losing these Elixir Ingredients would be a small matter, but his brother, Zhen Qingchun, waking up and recovering was a big matter. He had to wake him up and recover as soon as possible.
"Huuu!"
Calming himself down, Du Shaofu took a deep breath, condensing his hand seals. Immediately, a spiritual stove and symbol cauldron condensed in front of him. Blazing flames rose from the inside of the cauldron, and an extremely powerful aura spread out from the cauldron.
"Let's start refining the Soothing Spirit Powder."
With a wave of his hand, a suction force immediately gushed out from his palm, sucking a Elixir Ingredient into his palm, before lightly throwing it into the Spiritual Stove Symbol Cauldron.
"Hualala …"
That Elixir Ingredient was enveloped by the flames of the Spiritual Stove Symbol Cauldron, and immediately started to wither under the high temperature. Finally, drops of light green liquid started to drip out, slowly falling to the bottom of the Spiritual Stove Symbol Cauldron, spreading a faint multicolored light, as the medicinal energy fluctuated intensely.
Then, the second Elixir Ingredient was thrown into the Spiritual Stove Symbol Cauldron by Du Shaofu. The flames inside the Spiritual Stove Symbol Cauldron were blazing, as if they had a life of their own.
For this kind of refining, if the flame's temperature was a bit higher, it would be enough to completely burn the Elixir Ingredient into ashes. If the flame's temperature was a bit lower, it wouldn't be enough to refine the Elixir Ingredient's Elixir Ingredient.
Therefore, this kind of refining required an extremely strict control of mental force, and consumed a great deal of mental energy. No mistakes could be made.
Time slowly passed, and after a few hours, all the Elixirs in front of Du Shaofu, including the Frost Jadeite Tangerine Flower and the Crown Pure Lotus, had already been refined by Du Shaofu into Elixir Ingredient, floating inside the Spiritual Stove Symbol Cauldron.
"The second step."
Du Shaofu didn't dare relax in the slightest, and focused all his attention on controlling the temperature inside the Spiritual Stove Symbol Cauldron. At this time, he had to be even more careful than when refining the Elixir Ingredient.
At this time, the Elixir Ingredient inside the Spiritual Stove Symbol Cauldron had a large amount of Elixir Ingredient. As long as the temperature was a bit higher, it would be burnt into nothing, and all his previous efforts would be wasted.
If the temperature was a bit lower, he wouldn't be able to completely refine the Elixir Ingredient.
"Huhu!"
Inside the Spiritual Stove Symbol Cauldron, the flames whistled, and as time passed, the Elixir Ingredient was filled with various impurities.
Following Du Shaofu's mental control, the flames inside the Spiritual Stove Symbol Cauldron fluctuated like living creatures, wrapping the Elixir Ingredient's Elixir Ingredient's impurities, before burning them into nothingness.
Finally, the Elixir Ingredient's Elixir Ingredient's volume became smaller and smaller, but the Elixir Ingredient's fluctuations became more and more violent. In the end, multicolored light filled the air.
After doing all this, Du Shaofu's face was a lot paler. At this time, he couldn't afford any accidents.
Du Shaofu continued to condense and change his hand signs, concentrating on controlling the spiritual stove and the spiritual liquid inside the cauldron, which had already been purified of impurities, started to fuse with each other.
"Zizi …"
Along with the envelopment of the flames, the different spiritual liquids started to gradually fuse together, and a sizzling sound could be heard from the inside of the cauldron. A faint multicolored light burst out, and smoke started to surge out.
"You must succeed."
Du Shaofu held onto a belief in his heart, and that was that he absolutely could not fail. He focused all of his attention on the refinement.
During this process, Du Shaofu's energy consumption became greater and greater, and his face became paler and paler.
In this way, time slowly passed, and the various spiritual liquids inside the spiritual stove and symbol cauldron finally started to fuse together.
Although the process was tedious and complicated, Du Shaofu still managed to persevere through it, especially the last step, which was completed in one go without the slightest pause.
If Zhen Qingchun saw this scene at this moment, he would probably feel aggrieved.
"Drowning God Powder, gather!"
At the last moment, Du Shaofu condensed his hand signs, and the profound energy all over his body seemed to be poured into the spiritual stove and symbol cauldron. Surging flames soared to the sky, and a powerful force was suddenly released.
"Bang!"
At the time the various spiritual liquids were completely fused, the whole spiritual stove and symbol cauldron suddenly shook violently, and a multicolored light soared to the sky, accompanied by a series of runes. The multicolored light spread out, and the runes changed, rendering the whole cave beautiful and magnificent.
The spiritual liquid inside the spiritual stove and symbol cauldron was now sparkling and translucent, and its medicinal power was so rich that the spiritual stove and symbol cauldron were on the verge of exploding.
"Success! What powerful fluctuations of medicinal power."
At the time the sparkling and translucent spiritual liquid finally condensed, it was already the size of an infant's fist. The astonishing fluctuations of energy were breathtaking, causing Du Shaofu to salivate. If he was able to swallow this Drowning God Powder, he was afraid that his cultivation as a Spiritual Talisman Master would definitely increase by a lot.
