The Barren Mountains were located in the southeast of Blue Cloud Sect, and they belonged to the same branch as Taihang Mountain where Blue Cloud Sect was located. Hidden in the vast forest, even people from Blue Cloud Sect would have a hard time finding this place if they didn't have the Positioning Jade Token. Due to the demon king's seal, the demonic energy in this sealed place had invaded it for hundreds of years, and it had turned into an evil realm with many demon beasts and strange plants.
Of course, to some extent, this evil realm was also a bountiful harvest in the eyes of cultivators. After killing the demon beasts, they could get their demonic cores, and the strange plants could become spiritual herbs if they were used correctly. The demon king sealed in the middle was the fertilizer for all of this. According to the legends, the big families and factions all had many such sealed places as the trial grounds for their disciples.
The spiritual boat wasn't fast, but it was much faster than riding on horses on the ground. After one day and one night, they arrived above the Barren Mountains.
"Boom …"
The spiritual boat shook and stopped, and the disciples of Blue Cloud Sect jumped off and landed slowly with the Qi Plundering Spell. After sleeping for one day and one night, Fang Xing woke up and jumped off with his big saber. Wu Xiangtong was responsible for the cleanup. After injecting a streak of spiritual essence into the spiritual boat, he put it into his storage bag and became Fang Xing's responsible assistant.
The other disciples of the four valleys stood on the ground and looked around.
They found that they were at the edge of a huge basin. The basin was surrounded by ghostly mist, and they couldn't see the end of it. There were many barren mountains and dangerous forests, and it didn't look like a good place. In the sky above the basin, there were big demonic clouds that transformed into all kinds of strange shapes. Some strange birds circled above the basin and let out shrill cries.
In the sky, there was a white crane, and sitting on it was Xu Lingyun.
She was observing the terrain of the basin, trying to find a suitable entrance.
After observing from the sky for a while, Xu Lingyun's voice came from the sky. "There are many evil winds and evil energies in the Barren Mountains. Disciples of Qixia Mountain, make the Heart-Calming and Soul-Consolidating Pills quickly and give them to the senior and junior brothers without delay!"
As he spoke, he threw a white jade bottle into the basin with a wave of his hand. Not long after, he retrieved the white jade bottle and threw it down. A Vermilion Cloud Valley disciple caught it and poured out a wisp of the aura of the Disorderly Desolate Mountains. He cast a spirit art to distinguish it, then closed his eyes and said, "On the mother core, add three portions of Clear Blue Stamen, nine drops of Clear Flower Fruit Liquid …"
When the Vermilion Cloud Valley disciples heard that, they immediately sat down cross-legged and each took out a green cauldron from their storage pouches. They then took out white pills and threw them into the cauldron. Then, they began to use the cauldron to refine the pill, adding in new materials from time to time. The disciples of the other valleys found it interesting. They knew that this was Qixia Valley's "Pill Refinement Method", which was rarely seen.
This kind of pill refinement method was to add some special spirit medicines to the foundation of the original pill, and then refine the pill again, so that it had a specific purpose. For example, in the basin of the Desolation Mountains, there was a lot of evil wind and evil Qi. Even if a cultivator was infected, they would be affected, unless they entered the Desolation Mountains and constantly used their spiritual energy to resist it.
However, if they kept using their spirit qi to defend against it, the consumption of spirit qi would be terrifying. If they encountered a demonic beast when their spirit qi was almost used up, wouldn't that be terrible?
However, with this pill, they could keep it in their mouth and use its medicinal properties to defend against the evil winds and evil energies. They wouldn't have to waste their spirit qi.
Of course, this kind of pill could not be refined in a short period of time. Thus, they all used the "mother pill" to refine it.
This kind of pill was also refined from various precious spirit medicines. It had the effect of clearing the heart and detoxifying the body. However, it was not specific. In reality, the legendary pill that could "cure all poisons" did not exist. All things in the world reinforced and countered each other. Even the medicinal properties and toxicity were interchangeable. How could there really be a pill that could cure all poisons at once?
Even if they had the mother pill, they still needed to distinguish the aura in the Barren Mountains before adding some spirit medicines to carry out the second refinement. The pill refined this way would save time and have a more obvious effect.
In about the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the Vermilion Cloud Valley disciple had already put away the pill furnace, having finished refining.
Then, the Qixia Valley disciples stood up and took the pill, distributing it to the disciples of the other three valleys. Everyone was full of smiles as they received the pill and thanked them politely. However, when the disciples of Literature Valley and Mountain River Valley all received the pill, when it was the turn of the Makshin Valley disciples, the Qixia Valley disciples seemed to have discussed it in advance and directly skipped it, ignoring it.
"Ugh …"
Some of the Makshin Valley disciples had already reached out their hands, but they were ignored. They were instantly embarrassed.
"Humph! You still want the pill?"
A Qixia Valley disciple purposely whispered with obvious mockery.
Seeing this, the disciples of the other two valleys also looked over as if they were watching a show. Everyone knew what was going on.
On the spiritual boat, Fang Xing had scolded them to his heart's content, but he had also offended the Qixia Valley disciples. Most of the disciples in this valley were women, and they were narrow-minded to begin with. Now that they wanted to bully him with the pill, what could he do?
"This …"
Wu Tongtong glanced at Fang Xing with some difficulty and sighed helplessly. In the end, he still walked over to where the disciples of the Vermilion Cloud Valley were gathered by himself with a bitter smile on his face. He cupped his hands together and bowed as if he was apologizing.
"Humph! You still want the pill? Ask that kid to come and apologize to our Senior Sister Lin Qingxue! "
Someone said sharp-tongued. It was the pockmarked face that Fang Xing had mentioned!
Wu Xiangtong was instantly in a dilemma. After a while, he walked back helplessly with empty hands. Obviously, he had failed.
He didn't dare to ask Fang Xing to apologize to them since it was obvious that Fang Xing wouldn't do such a thing.
"After entering the mountain, use your spiritual essence to resist for a while. They can't really not give us the Heart-Calming and Soul-Consolidating Pills …"
Wu Xiangtong instructed the Makshin Valley disciples in a low voice, looking very helpless.
The other Makshin Valley disciples were indignant when they heard this, and they looked at Fang Xing with resentment.
If they weren't weaker than Fang Xing, they would have grabbed Fang Xing's neck and forced him to apologize to the Qixia Valley disciples.
"Humph! A bunch of b * tches! You want to bully me?"
Fang Xing was rather displeased and glared at the Qixia Valley female disciples.
Some of them glared back at him with a smug expression as if saying, "I'm bully you. Bite me?"
Naturally, Fang Xing wouldn't bite them. He decided to bite Xu Lingyun.
He stood on the ground and placed his hands on his waist. Taking a deep breath, he shouted into the air, "Xu Lingyun, Senior Sister Lingyun!"
When the disciples heard this, they were stunned and exchanged glances with one another.
'What is this little bastard doing now?
'Does he want to die? 'How dare he call Senior Sister Lingyun by her name?'
The Qixia Valley disciples were even more stunned. 'Is this guy going to tell us about the situation?'
However, they soon felt disdainful. 'Senior Sister Lingyun is naturally on our side. So what if you complain?'
In the air, Xu Lingyun was rather displeased as well. The white crane circled around and arrived above Fang Xing. She frowned. "What's the matter?"
Fang Xing grinned. "These junior sisters of yours won't give us the Makshin Valley's antidote. Help me refine one!"
When Xu Lingyun heard that, she was rather angry as well. She chided lightly, "What are you messing around for? Give them the medicinal pills!"
From the looks of it, she was actually rather angry. Furthermore, the target of her anger was the Qixia Valley disciples.
However, before everyone could express their shock, Fang Xing's words caused them to fall into shock once more.
Fang Xing said, "I don't want them. Their skills are too lousy. I want you to refine them personally!"
Everyone's expressions became even more interesting, thinking that they had heard wrongly.
Even the Makshin Valley disciples wanted to facepalm. This was way too shameless …
You just scolded her junior sisters badly not long ago. Senior Sister Lingyun is being very nice by asking them to give you the medicinal pills, but you still dare to ask her to refine them personally for you?
It must be noted that Xu Lingyun was the elixir master with the highest attainment in elixir making in the Blue Cloud Sect except for Elder Blue Bird. Even the elders of the sect had to pay at least 30 mid-grade spirit stones to ask her to refine a batch of medicinal pills for them. Each of the medicinal pills produced by her could be sold at a sky-high price among the disciples of the Blue Cloud Sect. However, this brat directly asked her to refine such low-level medicinal pills for him personally?
For a moment, at least half of the people in the Spiritual Boat thought that Fang Xing was asking for trouble.
The other half thought that he was seeking death!
"Bastard! Do you think that Senior Sister Lingyun's medicinal pills are something that anyone can ask for? You're so poor that you can't even afford it! "
The 'Dark Beauty' pointed at Fang Xing and scolded him. In their hearts, Xu Lingyun was their idol and couldn't be desecrated.
However, Fang Xing only rolled his eyes at her and continued to look at Xu Lingyun with a smile.
The result was unexpected. Xu Lingyun was silent for a while as if she was a bit angry. However, in the end, she just sighed and tossed out a red elixir furnace. Then, she flicked her fingers, and a series of white elixir pills flew into the furnace. Then, she opened her red lips slightly, and a spiritual flame shot out from her mouth. The spiritual flame surrounded the white elixir furnace and added some spiritual herbs.
In less than nine seconds, the flame stopped, and a white porcelain bottle containing all the elixir pills was tossed toward Fang Xing.
Meanwhile, a faint voice sounded in Fang Xing's ears, "You don't have to test me like this. Xu Lingyun will keep her promise!"
