"Sister, is your spirit about to be restored?"
Jiang Nan was stunned. Suddenly, a complicated feeling arose in his heart. After a moment of silence, he asked bitterly, "Will you still stay here after your spirit is restored?"
"Of course not."
Jiang Xue turned to look into the distance. With her back facing him, she said quietly, "Jianwu Nation is too small, and a small pond can't raise a big dragon. I want to regain my previous achievements and take back what belongs to me. How can I stay in this small place for long? Zi Chuan, when my spirit is restored, it will be the time for us to separate … "
Jiang Nan fell into silence again. He was reluctant to part with her.
Although he hadn't spent much time with Jiang Xue, he had already treated her as his only family. He was full of admiration for this demon fox and treated her as a good teacher, a helpful friend, and someone to rely on. In his heart, she was even the most beautiful woman in the world.
He cherished this period of time and hoped that time could pass more slowly.
"Zi Chuan, the Buddha's Golden Lotus is considered a very good elixir for you, but it's still a waste for you to consume it like this."
Jiang Xue smiled and said, "Consuming it directly can only bring out 20% of the medicinal power of the Buddha's Golden Lotus. If it is combined with other medicinal ingredients and refined into a relic pill, it can bring out 100% of the medicinal power!"
Jiang Nan's eyes lit up. He had only consumed one petal of the Buddha's Golden Lotus, and he had almost crossed a realm. If he refined the Buddha's Golden Lotus into a relic pill, he could bring out four to five times the medicinal power. Wouldn't that mean that he could easily become a Spirit Wheel expert with this Buddha's Golden Lotus?
"Sister, do you know how to refine a relic pill?"
"I only know a little, but I can't say that I'm proficient in it."
Jiang Xue moved her fingertips gently, and a spiritual fire danced on them like a fire elf. She smiled and said, "However, I still know how to make a low-level pill like a relic pill. You have the Divine Tuṣita Fire between your eyebrows, and you already have the kindling. Refining pills isn't troublesome for you, and you only lack the formula, furnace, and other medicinal ingredients. I still remember the pill recipe for the Relic Spiritual Pill, but I have no way of getting the pill furnace and other medicinal ingredients. "
Jiang Nan thought for a moment, then said, "The alchemy furnace and herbs can be exchanged with Qi Replenishing Pills and Body Nourishing Pills in the City of Medicine King. In any case, I have no use for these things."
Jiang Xue earnestly said, "Little Brother, there's one thing you need to remember. Although spirit pills can increase your cultivation level very quickly, it's still an external force after all. If you increase it too quickly, it'll cause your cultivation level to be unstable. Because of this, spirit pills can only be used to assist in cultivation. If you wholeheartedly rely on spirit pills to increase your cultivation, you will be at a disadvantage, and it will be detrimental to your future cultivation. "
Jiang Nan's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded solemnly.
For the next few days, he didn't continue to go hunting. Instead, he stayed at home to refine the remaining medicinal strength of the Buddha's Palm Golden Lotus petal. Just this petal alone took him four days to refine.
As for the periosteum in his head, he now had enough strength to open it up, but it was extremely dangerous to do so. It couldn't be done in one go, so he had to take it slow.
"There are many ways to refine spirit pills, but they can generally be divided into two types. One is the fire method, which is the most common. Your Divine Tuṣita Fire is divided into seven layers, and the first three layers are enough to refine ordinary spirit pills. The other method is the water method of alchemy, which is relatively rare. It uses divine water to wash away the impurities in the herbs and purify the medicinal potency. The medicinal potency of the various spirit herbs can thus be combined into one. To a certain extent, it is even better than the fire method of alchemy.
For the past few days, Jiang Xue had been explaining the techniques and techniques of alchemy to him. She said, "If you have the Yellow Springs Divine Water and the Divine Tuṣita Fire, the quality of the spirit pills you refine will be even better! Unfortunately, the Yellow Springs Divine Water is extremely rare, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to find it. Zi Chuan, try and see if you can draw the first layer of the Divine Tuṣita Fire out of your body, make it appear in your palm, and heat it up … "
She looked around, and her gaze fell on the iron wok. She smiled and said, "Why don't you try heating this iron wok?"
Jiang Nan tried to stimulate the Divine Tuṣita Fire between his eyebrows with his true energy, and immediately, the first layer of the Divine Tuṣita Fire surged, pouring out in all directions.
"True energy to control fire!"
Jiang Nan quickly roused his true energy to control the flow of the Divine Tuṣita Fire. It sank down from his eyebrows to his right arm, and gathered in his right hand along the periosteum.
All of a sudden, his true energy dissipated, and the Divine Tuṣita Fire collapsed. Thin flames sprang out from the pores on his arm, and in the blink of an eye, his sleeve was set ablaze!
Jiang Nan quickly breathed out a mouthful of true energy to extinguish the flames.
He tried a few times, and finally, he got the hang of it. With a whoosh, a Divine Tuṣita Fire appeared in his palm, burning quietly.
Jiang Nan held the iron wok in his palm, and continued to stimulate the Divine Tuṣita Fire between his eyebrows, so that the Divine Tuṣita Fire would continue to burn. The iron wok was filled with clear water, and in just a few moments, the water was boiling.
"You still need to control the fire, and let it be as big or small as you want."
Jiang Xue pointed out, "Whether or not you can concoct a spirit pill depends on your control. You need to pay attention to the heat, and control the temperature. Otherwise, if you're not careful, you'll end up with a cauldron full of useless pills."
Jiang Nan was careful, and soon, he could control the fire as he pleased. With the Divine Tuṣita Fire, he was much luckier than the other pill refiners. Other pill refiners didn't have a Divine Tuṣita Fire, and those with lower cultivation bases could only use charcoal to ignite the furnace fire, and only when the furnace fire was perfect could they concoct pills.
Pill refiners with higher cultivation bases could use their true energy to concoct pills at high temperatures, and concoct a cauldron of pills would consume a lot of energy. Moreover, it was difficult to control the furnace fire's temperature, and the success rate was not high.
Although the Divine Tuṣita Fire was dangerous, it was not difficult to control as long as one grasped the trick. If Jiang Nan didn't have this kind of Divine Tuṣita Fire, it would be impossible for him to quickly grasp the technique of controlling the fire as he pleased!
Jiang Xue said quietly, "Cultivation is like concocting pills. The true energy is the divine fire and the divine water. The divine water refines, and the divine fire refines, tempering the body, hair, skin, bones, flesh, mind, spirit, and Qi, so that you can be like a spirit pill, crystal clear and without any impurities. Using battle as the divine fire and the divine water, you can temper your beliefs, divine sense, will, courage, and ambition! "
Jiang Nan's heart trembled. Jiang Xue's words could be said to be profound, and although it was simple, it contained a great truth, and the more one understood it, the more one would gain.
She was using pill concoction to give Jiang Nan pointers, so that while he was cultivating pill concoction, his martial cultivation would also improve at the same time!
It could be said that what she had said to Jiang Nan was no less than teaching Jiang Nan the Devil Hell Dark Embryo Scripture!
Not long after, Jiang Nan was familiar with the technique of controlling fire, and the divine fire in his hand could be big or small, and he could change it at will.
"Every kind of pill has a pill recipe, and the pill recipe is not just about the proportion of medicinal ingredients, it also includes the time to add each medicinal ingredient, the control of temperature at every moment, the hand seals to control the fire, when to open the furnace, how to test the medicine, and so on. The most important is the hand seals used to concoct the medicine!"
Jiang Xue said softly, "The hand seals used to concoct medicine are also called spiritual arts. For example, to concoct Sarira Spirit Pills, there are 18 spiritual arts, and they are extremely complicated. When to use each spiritual art, and the order in which to use it, you can't forget, or you will waste a whole furnace of pills."
She opened her slender hands, and her fingers danced lightly in front of Jiang Nan. Her fingertips turned into beautiful arcs, displaying 18 extremely exquisite hand seals, and they were ever-changing. Her True Qi overflowed from her fingertips, and it turned into lotus flowers that quietly bloomed in front of her.
A snow-white lotus withered, and another white lotus swayed and grew. It was a beautiful scene!
Jiang Nan could not help but feel refreshed, and his True Qi unconsciously circulated, and his hands involuntarily followed Jiang Xue's movements.
Buzz!
The Divine Tuṣita Fire overflowed from his fingertips, and the flame and True Qi intertwined, gradually turning into a lotus.
Unlike Jiang Xue, his True Qi and the Divine Tuṣita Fire merged, and it turned into a green lotus. It was very strange and eerie, and it had the demeanor of a devil who had done all kinds of evil.
Jiang Nan watched the green lotus flowers bloom and fall, and he was speechless for a long time. Although the Devil Hell Dark Fetus Scripture was a devil's mental cultivation technique, it was not the Devil Hell Dark Fetus Scripture that caused this strange scene, but the Divine Tuṣita Fire.
This Divine Tuṣita Fire had a total of seven layers of flames, in order of green, yellow, red, white, cyan, purple, and black. He used his True Qi to activate the first layer of the Divine Tuṣita Fire, and so the green lotus was born from his fingertips.
"Zi Chuan, if you want to concoct pills, you have to do it step by step. First, concoct the Qi Replenishing Pill, the Body Nourishing Pill, and familiarize yourself with all kinds of pill concoction techniques. Only when you have enough confidence can you concoct the Sarira Pill."
Jiang Xue glanced at the green lotus flowers, and she could not help but laugh. She said, "The Qi Replenishing Pill and the Body Nourishing Pill are too low-level, and I have not collected the recipe for this type of pill. The nearby City of Medicine King should have the recipe and the required herbs."
She paused, and said apologetically, "I also need to go out for a few days to travel around, and collect the spiritual herbs in the mountains and rivers to concoct a furnace of Spirit Pills. It will take about a month, so I will not be able to accompany you to the City of Medicine King. Before I leave, I still need you to give me two days of Yang energy in advance … "
Jiang Xue did not say anything, and suddenly, her soft lips lightly touched Jiang Nan's forehead. The young boy was slightly startled, and he felt his whole body go limp, as if he had been electrocuted, and a deep sense of powerlessness arose spontaneously.
Jiang Xue sucked away eighty percent of his Yang energy in one go, and then floated away.
Jiang Nan opened his mouth, and like a fish out of water, he gasped for breath. He stood there blankly for a long time, and suddenly, he sneezed loudly.
"Zi Chuan, were you plucked by a demon, or by your fiancée?"
In the courtyard house, Tie Zhu looked at Jiang Nan's complexion, and shook his head. "Your complexion is terrible, you must have been plucked by someone!"
"Plucked my ass!"
Jiang Nan said angrily, and then he sneezed. Before Jiang Xue left, she had sucked away eighty percent of his Yang energy, causing his body to be extremely weak, and he was afraid of the cold. His complexion was ashen, and no matter how one looked at it, it was as if he had been ruthlessly plucked by a demon.
"Zhu Zi, I have to go out for a few days, and I'm afraid it will be a while before I return. Today, I will teach you the remaining forms of the Dragon Tiger Elephant Strength Technique." Jiang Nan thought for a while, and said.
Tie Zhu said in a low voice, "Zi Chuan, I'm afraid I won't be able to go out for a few days. You might not know, but recently, the Imperial Residence has been much stricter. First, the outer residence's steward, Wu Sijiang, was killed, and the inner residence was enraged. They searched for the murderer, and it turned the world upside down. After searching for a while, they found me in the outer residence! Luckily, a few days ago, when they were about to find me, the inner residence's imperial family member, Qi Shan, and steward Wu Juntong, disappeared along with many servants. The inner residence was shocked, and sent people to search the mountain. In the end, they encountered a Soaring Spirit Ape, and many people died. Chief Steward Qi Yong personally led experts to kill the Soaring Spirit Ape, and did not investigate me, or else I would definitely be exposed! "
