In fact, an Elixir Furnace could only have one groove. It was useless to open more. Otherwise, if he opened ten grooves and stuck a 100% success charm on each of them, wouldn't he have a 100% success rate? Alchemy was not so easy. There was no such thing.
He placed the Water-Fire Gourd under the Elixir Furnace and did not rush to release the fire. He first opened the Elixir Furnace and put the two poor embryonic elixir pills in. Then, he took out a lucky charm and stuck it in the groove. Ye Kong then released the cold fire in the Water-Fire Gourd and began the most important step of alchemy — baking.
There was a process in this step. The time was determined according to the elixir pills in the furnace. Two elixir pills, which were high-level elixir pills, needed a whole day.
"Aiya, it's so cold inside." Ye Kong walked out with his hands in the air. The cold fire was really powerful. He, a cultivator, was so cold that he had to restrain himself. If a mortal went in, he would probably freeze to death in a short while.
Although the cold fire was cold, Ye Kong did not fully release it. In addition, there were two layers of restrictions in the cave abode and herb garden, so he was not afraid that someone would discover it.
Ye Kong returned to Cloudseal Sect at noon. When the two girls left, it was about two o 'clock in the afternoon. Now, when he came out, he found that the moon was about to set, and a new day was about to begin.
"An afternoon and a night have passed just like this. Time really flies. Fortunately, cultivators don't need to sleep. Otherwise, there is really not enough time to do anything. "
Ye Kong sighed and began the cultivation work again. This time, he wanted to cultivate some Snake Saliva Grass. Thinking of Jiang Wuyi's materials, he returned to the cave abode and took out the small herb hoe.
Arriving in front of the Wood Brambles, Ye Kong squatted down and carefully dug up the soil. The roots of the Wood Brambles were very deep and very developed. Thinking about it, any plant that had a history of hundreds of years, how could its roots not be developed? Even humans would grow their hair if they did not get a haircut for a period of time.
Some girls' long hair was too long and would wither and split at the end. It was the same for the roots of plants. The further it was, the less vitality it had. Therefore, Ye Kong cut off the middle section. Presumably, with so many roots, it would not die if it was less.
After removing the roots, Ye Kong buried the surface of the soil in its original state, so that the perverted female comrade wouldn't see it and spout nonsense. She was willing to risk her life for this insignificant root. Ai, a pervert is a pervert, unreasonable.
Arriving at the small pavilion in the middle of the herb garden, Ye Kong took out two clumps of Living Soil from his storage bag. Now, Ye Kong was very careful. Every bag was tied tightly. There was no other way. Wasn't he carrying a thief? No one knew if there were more thieves in the rest of the Living Soil. Maybe it wasn't just one, but a whole nest!
Ye Kong put down the two clumps of Living Soil. Then, he buried the roots of the Snake Spit Grass and the wood brambles into the Living Soil. Soon, something delightful happened.
The thousand-year Snake Spit Grass grew slowly. Generally, when it reached the thousand-year mark, its growth would slow down. It would no longer grow big, but it would grow fat and old. Under the influence of the Living Soil's powerful spiritual energy, the leaves of the Snake Spit Grass became fatter and thicker. The meridians on the leaves also began to thicken. Finally, some of the meridians began to emit a faint reddish-purple light. At the same time, at the edge of the plant, like stars surrounding the moon, three tender sprouts broke out from the surrounding Living Soil. They quickly sprouted, spread, and extended slender branches.
Compared to the joyous growth of the Snake Spit Grass, the growth of the wood brambles was much slower. It seemed that this thing was not so easy to grow. When the three small Snake Spit Grass had grown into seedlings, a small sprout of the wood brambles drilled out of the soil.
"I thought it would be useless." Ye Kong breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he thought of something. He quickly stood up and went to find a thin, straight wooden stick. The wood brambles were vines. They needed to grow around things. How could he forget this?
Looking at the two sides growing, Ye Kong also temporarily became idle. However, he did not do anything else. He just stared blankly at the growth of the little life. Sometimes, watching this little tree of life grow would make people feel a faint sense of happiness. Watching it take root, germinate, grow, and bloom. Although Ye Kong did nothing, he still felt very happy.
He watched the Snake Spit Grass open its flower bud. Ye Kong suddenly thought of the Living Soil. The spiritual energy contained in the Living Soil was so thick. Why couldn't he absorb the spiritual energy in the Living Soil? If he could succeed, it would definitely be many times faster than absorbing spiritual energy from the air.
Ye Kong took out another clump of Living Soil. He placed it in his hand and played with it like plasticine. Although he could feel the rich spiritual energy in the Living Soil, how could he transfer it to a cultivator's body? This was definitely a problem. The Cang Nan Continent had many kinds of spiritual plants. If all of them could directly absorb spiritual energy, then cultivating to become an immortal would be too easy.
Therefore, most cultivators would choose suitable spiritual plants to refine into pills. These pills would play a supporting role for cultivators. There had never been a cultivator who could directly absorb spiritual energy from it.
Ye Kong did not know how much time had passed. When he looked up again, he found that the Snake Spit Grass had already grown to a certain size. The stem and leaves of the main plant in the middle had already turned purplish red. Not only the stem and leaves, but even the beautiful red flower in the middle had grown bigger. Around the main plant, there were more than ten other plants growing. From the looks of it, each plant was at least a thousand years old.
On the other side, the Wood Bramble had also climbed very high. Like the one in the herb garden, it also extended three branches and spiraled up along the wooden stick in the middle. The branches and leaves were sparse, but the stem was strong. Moreover, the one on the Living Soil was much thicker. The one in the herb garden was only a few hundred years old, but it was as thick as an egg. But the one cultivated on the Living Soil was so thick that one could not hold it with one hand.
Ye Kong looked happy. Although he did not expect that the Living Soil's spiritual energy could be converted to his own, the Living Soil's magical effect on cultivating spiritual plants was indeed very powerful. No wonder it was a treasure that everyone in the Cang Nan Continent pursued. With the Living Soil in hand, why would he need to worry about thousand-year-old pills or ten-thousand-year-old spiritual plants?
Just as Ye Kong was feeling happy, he suddenly frowned. Then, he heard a loud bang. The restriction outside the herb garden trembled. Hearing this sudden loud bang, Ye Kong initially thought that something had happened to the alchemy furnace. But he soon understood that someone was attacking the restriction of the herb garden!
Attacking Patriarch Cao Muqing's small herb garden in the Cloud Talisman Sect. Who was this person? Was he crazy?
Ye Kong did not dare to delay any longer. He quickly pulled out all the spiritual plants, put them into the storage bag, and put the Living Soil away. Just as he was packing up, the attacks outside became more frequent. The banging sounds were endless. But it was obvious that the restriction array of the herb garden was still very powerful. Such attacks would not cause any major problems.
Ye Kong packed up his things and checked to see if he had missed anything. Then, he walked to the entrance of the herb garden to see who was so daring.
