Upon returning to the Crimson Whale, Lu Sheng immediately sought out his Senior Apprentice Brother Hong Mingzi, who was in charge of the pill refinery, to ask about the method of handling the Four Spirits Flower.
After learning the specific details and sequence, he asked Hong Mingzi to assist the apothecaries in refining the pill.
A thirty-thousand-years-old Four Spirits Flower. Hong Mingzi and the rest treated it like a priceless treasure. Originally, they had suggested that Lu Sheng refine it in several batches because the medicinal properties of the herb were too strong and overbearing. The medicinal pill produced from the entire stalk would be too potent and undrinkable.
But Lu Sheng requested that they refine it directly.
Left with no other choice, Crimson Whale Sect began to search for other medicinal herbs for the pill.
Fortunately, a few Heavenly Prime Elders who had gone off to search for the herb returned with stalks of thousand-years-old medicinal herbs.
The apothecaries picked out the auxiliary herbs, which were the official herbs to complement the Four Spirits Flower.
After three days and three nights of continuous refining, a cauldron of Four Spirits Pills was finally completed. Because it wasn't a difficult pill formula to refine, it was specifically designed to remove the side effects and enhance the medicinal properties of the main herb. Therefore, it wasn't too taxing to refine.
But even so, Hong Mingzi and the rest were thoroughly exhausted. For this, Lu Sheng took the initiative to transfer Qi to them, imparting a year's worth of cultivation to them as a reward.
Apart from him, no one else could withstand the medicinal properties of the pill.
The overbearing herb that was supposed to be used in dozens of batches was turned into a cauldron of medicinal pills in one go.
With the Four Spirits Pill in hand, Lu Sheng re-entered the secret chamber.
With a rumble, the stone door closed.
Lu Sheng sat cross-legged in the middle. Without hesitation, he raised his head and swallowed a Four Spirits Pill.
Like a snowball, the pill melted in his mouth and melted into a cold liquid that flowed into his stomach. Lu Sheng sat cross-legged without the slightest reaction.
Two hours passed. Four hours passed.
He took out another Four Spirits Pill, raised his head and swallowed it.
Another four hours passed.
A third Four Spirits Pill was swallowed.
The cycle continued until the fifth Four Spirits Pill was swallowed. Only then did Lu Sheng stop.
At this time, a large amount of water vapor had begun to emerge from his body. That was the water in his body evaporating out of his pores and forming a mist.
The medicinal power of the Four Spirit Pill was terrifying. It rampaged through his body like a wild beast. However, Lu Sheng's meridians and blood vessels were also extremely strong. He only suffered minor cracks before the Aquarius Qi healed them quickly.
The medicinal efficacy was quickly digested and absorbed by his body. It was all worn down by his thousand-year cultivation, turned into wisps of pure internal qi, and integrated into his body.
The inner Qi transformed from the medicinal effects was evenly divided by Lu Sheng into Ultimate Crimson Nine Furies Skill inner Qi and Yin Yang Jade Crane Aquarius Qi.
Although the medicinal potency seemed enormous, in reality, he could only absorb less than a tenth of it after the conversion. The rest were all impurities that could only be eliminated.
Then, this inner Qi, which was less than one-tenth of the medicinal efficacy, would shrink a lot after being compressed and liquefied.
Late at night the next day, Lu Sheng had refined all the medicinal power, and his cultivation had actually increased by an average of three hundred years of cultivation.
Ultimate Crimson Nine Furies Skill and Yin Yang Jade Crane Aquarius Qi had an average increase of three liquefied Qi drops. It was equivalent to raising his inner force cultivation by more than a level.
Moreover, he was pleasantly surprised by the other gain.
The Four Spirit Flower had an extremely strong Yang attribute to begin with. It was a medicinal herb that was extremely hot and even poisonous from heat. A thirty-thousand-year Four Spirit Flower contained even more terrifying heat toxins.
This heat toxins was also the key to allowing Lu Sheng to truly condense his inner force cultivation.
As the heat toxins were refined from the medicinal effects, they fused into Ultimate Crimson Nine Furies Skill, giving it an even more potent heat toxins.
Ultimate Crimson Nine Furies Skill's heat toxins were already extremely terrifying to begin with. However, because Lu Sheng had been dealing with demons, ghosts, and Noblemen, it had not been of much use.
But now, with the addition of the heat toxins from the Four Spirit Flower, Lu Sheng felt that Ultimate Crimson Nine Furies Skill seemed to have undergone some kind of qualitative change.
Although there was no breakthrough in his cultivation, the might of Ultimate Crimson Nine Furies Skill had increased once again. The liquefied Qi showed faint signs of becoming more viscous. Under the influence of Yin and Yang, even Aquarius Qi had become denser.
Without a concrete comparison, Lu Sheng had no idea how strong he had become.
Moreover, from the effect of stomping his feet on the ground previously, after activating Light Void Skill, every step he took was a strengthened version of Earth Stomp. And it was not just a little bit stronger.
Hence, he named Light Void Skill Light Void Earth Stomp Skill.
After a short period of seclusion, when Lu Sheng came out again, the grand competition had already ended.
The top ten disciples from the selection round had all joined Crimson Sun Sect, becoming nominal members of Crimson Sun Sect. But in reality, they had received guidance and guidance from many Tianyuan Elders.
All the Tianyuan Elders were merely sheltered under the banner of Lu Sheng. Lu Sheng had now become a banner of the Northern Lands. Many people believed that he was definitely not a pure human, but even more did not care. Because Lu Sheng had made a name for himself through martial arts. That was enough.
After the grand competition was the induction ceremony. One by one, Lu Sheng applied Yin Crane Web to each of the new disciples. Then, he began to prepare for the big wedding.
…
"You want to learn martial arts too?" Lu Sheng looked at Chen Yunxi in astonishment.
The two of them were alone in Fragrance Tower in the city. This was a place that specialized in selling perfume pouches and face powder. However, the top floor of Fragrance Tower had been reserved by Lu Sheng, so Chen Yunxi could choose as she pleased.
What he did not expect was that Chen Yunxi would make such a request to him.
"Yes! I don't want to fall too far behind you! "Chen Yunxi said seriously.
"Fall behind?" Lu Sheng looked at the girl in front of him. This was the first time he understood what she had been thinking.
"Yes." Chen Yunxi was calm and solemn. Clearly, this decision was not made on the spur of the moment.
"You can learn martial arts. That's a good thing." Lu Sheng pondered for a moment. "But, can you endure that kind of hardship?"
Even if he had Yin Crane Web to impart skills to Chen Yunxi, so what? Techniques, moves, and cultivation methods were not things that could be mastered in one go. The only result of imparting skills hastily was to create a strange person with strong inner force but weak in all other aspects.
Moreover, it was dangerous for someone with no foundation to directly receive Qi transfer to become an expert.
Without a foundation, it meant that an untrained body would need to bear the burden of consuming and replenishing the huge amount of inner Qi in the body. This would cause a huge hidden injury and burden.
It was like a child holding a gun with a shocking recoil. Once it was used, the body would be injured by the huge recoil.
The blood vessels and meridians in the body would also cause irreparable damage when they were exposed to high-quality inner Qi.
Too many times, not to mention maintaining one's health, even a normal lifespan might not be guaranteed.
To strengthen the body, one had to start from the tiniest bit of inner Qi and nourish the body at the same time. Only then could one adapt.
When Lu Sheng was improving his inner Qi, he accidentally overdid it. It took him a year to recover.
Therefore, he only imparted skills to people with a strong foundation. He could not just find a random person to impart Qi to and become an expert.
"What kind of martial arts can I practice at my age? You're the number one expert in the Northern Lands. Why don't you give me some pointers? "Seeing that Lu Sheng had agreed, Chen Yunxi was in a good mood.
"It depends on whether you practice inner or outer," Lu Sheng said simply and began to explain the difference between inner and outer.
Chen Yunxi happily chose an inner force that could make her look young. She asked Lu Sheng to teach her a simple one so that she could study it carefully.
This required aptitude, and not everyone could casually cultivate inner force. Therefore, she wanted to see if she could do it.
Lu Sheng did not think highly of Chen Yunxi. If she had aptitude, he would at most transfer a bit of inner Qi to her after she entered the sect to help her recover from her hidden injuries. Too much would only harm her.
Take Ning San for example. Although he was strong now, he did not dare to use it casually. Every time he used it, he would be injured.
Immediately after, Lu Sheng and Chen Yunxi discussed the wedding. The Lu and Chen Families were ready. The wedding was to be held in the next few days.
Lu Sheng also told them of his plans to leave the Northern Lands and head to the Central Plains. Although Old Dad Lu Quanan and the rest were reluctant, they knew that Lu Sheng had his own path and direction. It was no longer at a level where they could interfere. They could only accept it.
But they did not intend to follow Lu Sheng to the Central Plains. This was the Lu Family's and Crimson Whale Sect's base camp.
Chen Yunxi wanted to go with Lu Sheng, but was persuaded otherwise. As an ordinary woman, it would be inconvenient for her to follow him. She could easily be used as a bargaining chip to threaten him.
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, several days had passed. The day of the wedding finally arrived.
…
"Huff …" Lu Sheng sat in the Lu Family's bedroom and let out a long sigh.
"Young Master, why are you sighing?" Qiao 'er was combing Lu Sheng's hair carefully and smoothing out the creases on his clothes.
Lu Sheng wore a bright red groom's robe and an intricately carved red headband. He even carried a golden rod on his back, which was used to lift the bride's veil.
'I'm sighing because …' Lu Sheng lamented in his heart.
Only on the eve of the wedding did he remember a frightening problem.
Chen Yunxi was only an ordinary human being. Could she withstand any bodily fluids secreted by his body?
Back then, he was not as strong as he was now. The cells in his blood could even devour a small hole in metal.
Now that he was this strong, the vitality of his body had reached an unimaginable level. Once a drop of that fluid entered Chen Yunxi's body …
Lu Sheng's mood immediately turned gloomy.
'Don't tell me I have to transfer Qi to Chen Yunxi and make her reach an extremely powerful level in a short period of time? No … unless she reaches the level of Bind in one go, there's no way. And that's only if her body isn't strong enough and her cells aren't active enough … '
"Young Master is finally getting married. The Lu Family will have an heir if they give birth to a chubby boy soon. The mighty Crimson Whale Sect will have a successor! What a joyous occasion! Joyous occasion! "The family relatives outside discussed loudly about what was to come. Each and every one of them was beaming with joy. Their voices could even be faintly heard in the room.
"Chubby boy …" Lu Sheng's head hurt even more.
He rubbed the space between his brows, unsure of how to solve this problem. He was too strong. If he really entered the bridal chamber with Chen Yunxi, he might be fine as long as he controlled his strength carefully. But in the end, they would still have to unite and have a child. At that juncture, if something were to happen …
'Looks like I can only hold off on getting pregnant for now …' Lu Sheng finally made up his mind.
There were those with diluted bloodlines of Noble Families who mated with mortals. Perhaps he could find a solution in this trip to the Central Plains.
