The pill that Xiao Yueshui chose was the Tier 5 Rain Raising Immortal Pill. This pill was the most widely used and most welcomed by immortals. Its main function was to heal injuries quickly and restore immortal elemental energy. The reason why Jian Xuanming was able to recover so quickly was because Lan Xiaobu had given him a Rain Raising Immortal Pill.
Lan Xiaobu watched Xiao Yueshui concoct the pill. Xiao Yueshui's flame was the Stone Geng Flame. It was an underground flame and this flame couldn't be upgraded. The level of the flame was already fixed. As a sect master, Xiao Yueshui's Stone Geng Flame was infinitely close to a Tier 6 immortal flame and was considered a good flame. At the very least, it was much better than the Tier 3 End Flame that he saw previously.
Bringing out the flame, cleaning the pill furnace, sorting out the herbs, purifying the herbs …
Xiao Yueshui did every step meticulously and didn't even have any problems to nitpick on. There were also no problems with the pill techniques that he used during the concoction process. Although in Lan Xiaobu's opinion, Xiao Yueshui's pill techniques could only be considered average, he definitely didn't have any problems concocting pills. This pill technique might not be able to amaze others, but it was the result of countless failures by the predecessors.
Xiao Yueshui wasn't able to concoct pills at the same speed as Lan Xiaobu. After half a day, he used the Pill Collecting Technique and brought out 12 grey coloured pills.
Putting the pills into the jade bottle, Xiao Yueshui sighed and handed the jade bottle to Lan Xiaobu.
Lan Xiaobu didn't receive the jade bottle, but he knew that there was definitely a problem with this pill. He didn't feel a trace of pill aura from this pill, nor did he feel a bit of dao charm flowing around it.
Lan Xiaobu took the jade bottle and opened it. One of the Rain Raising Immortal Pills was placed in Lan Xiaobu's palm.
This pill looked complete, but not only did it not have a trace of pill aura, it even gave Lan Xiaobu a strange feeling …
After repeatedly examining this pill for a long time, Lan Xiaobu initially thought that this pill had a kind of deathly aura. However, he soon understood that it couldn't be considered as deathly aura, but the pill lacked a kind of life force.
Any pill, whether it was a poison pill or a longevity pill, would definitely have a kind of vitality. This life force was connected to the core essence, forming a unique aura of alchemy dao. That was why it could be called a pill.
There was no problem with Xiao Yueshui's alchemy. There was no problem with the herbs, the alchemy fire, and the alchemy furnace. There was also no problem with the alchemy in the end. Why was there a problem when the alchemy came out of the furnace?
Lan Xiaobu frowned. At the same time, the Universe Dimensional Model locked onto the pill in his hand. The Universe Dimensional Model started to construct the dimensional model of the pill.
Seeing Lan Xiaobu's solemn expression and only staring at the pill in his hand, Xiao Yueshui didn't dare to say a word. He was worried that his words would affect Lan Xiaobu's judgment.
Following the increase in Lan Xiaobu's cultivation, the number of edges of the universe's dimensional model increased, and the speed at which the dimensional model was constructed also increased.
In a short half an incense's time, the Universe Dimensional Model was able to construct the dimensional model of the Immortal Pill.
Lan Xiaobu looked at the information he had obtained from the dimensional model and remained silent. Xiao Yueshui was a Tier 6 Immortal Pill Refiner and a late stage Immortal King. His alchemy dao was actually corroded by a Nightmare, and Xiao Yueshui had no idea what was going on. In reality, if it wasn't for the Universe Dimensional Model, he wouldn't know what was going on either. At least, before he became a Tier 7 Immortal Pill King, he wouldn't know the reason.
Accurately speaking, Xiao Yueshui's alchemy dao had already been corroded by a Pill Nightmare. No matter what pill Xiao Yueshui concocted, the pill energy would be absorbed by the Pill Nightmare. Recently, Xiao Yueshui hadn't been concocting pills, and Lan Xiaobu was sure that Xiao Yueshui didn't use many pills to cultivate. Otherwise, Xiao Yueshui would also be devoured by the Pill Nightmare.
Pill Nightmares were actually a type of Nightmare. Nightmares were alien cultivators formed from certain emotions. Whether it was fear, excitement, hatred, anger, suffering … they could all be turned into Nightmare cultivators.
The Pill Nightmare on Xiao Yueshui's body wasn't just a type of emotion, it was even a type of dao. Once this Nightmare formed from the Pill Dao matured, it would definitely be more terrifying than an ordinary Nightmare.
One could imagine that once this Nightmare matured, it would very likely take over Xiao Yueshui's fleshly body.
Old Xiao wasn't a bad person. Should he save him? However, saving Old Xiao would be dangerous. He still wasn't sure where the Pill Nightmare was hiding in Old Xiao's body.
What he could be sure of was that this Pill Nightmare wasn't in the sea of consciousness. As long as it was in the sea of consciousness, a late stage Immortal King like Xiao Yueshui would definitely be able to discover it.
Since it was a Pill Nightmare, it was very likely that it was hidden in Xiao Yueshui's alchemy dao. As long as Xiao Yueshui concocted pills, this Nightmare would definitely appear.
Lan Xiaobu decided to ask Xiao Yueshui for his opinion. If Xiao Yueshui needed his help, he would help. If Xiao Yueshui was hesitant and worried that he would take the opportunity to attack, then he would hurry and leave. Not only did he have to leave, but he also had to take Guang Jie with him. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a joke if Xiao Yueshui became a powerful Pill Nightmare.
Seeing that Lan Xiaobu finally stopped pondering and looked at him, Xiao Yueshui looked at Lan Xiaobu expectantly and said, "Lan Xiaobu, can you tell me what my problem is?"
Lan Xiaobu shook his head and said, "Sect Head Xiao, if you trust me, I need to invade your sea of consciousness when you're cultivating, concocting pills, forging weapons, or refining talismans. After this, you can't do anything when I go overboard, even if I want to kill you. If you agree, I will help you check. If you don't agree, then I will take my leave. "
Lan Xiaobu didn't dare to say that he had discovered the Pill Nightmare. Now, he didn't know if this Pill Nightmare had intelligence. Logically speaking, even if this Pill Nightmare had intelligence, it should still be ignorant. Otherwise, Xiao Yueshui's mind wouldn't have been unaffected.
Thinking about it, Xiao Yueshui could give him the Nine-Coloured Void Lotus and didn't concoct those lifeless immortal pills. This meant that he wasn't affected by the Pill Nightmare. Even though he knew that the Pill Nightmare in Xiao Yueshui's body didn't control Xiao Yueshui, Lan Xiaobu still didn't dare to say the words' Pill Nightmare '.
"Ah …" Xiao Yueshui looked at Lan Xiaobu in disbelief. This request was simply too much. How could someone treat a patient like this? The moment he opened his sea of consciousness, that person could seize his body or even kill him.
However, Xiao Yueshui soon understood. Who was Lan Xiaobu? He was a Tier 7 Immortal Pill King at such a young age and had a bright future in the Forbidden Immortal Department. Why would he seize Xiao Yueshui's body?
With Lan Xiaobu's status as a Tier 7 Immortal Pill King, he could easily lead a better life than Xiao Yueshui if he went to any sect or immortal court.
"Sect Head Xiao, have you not cultivated for a long time?" Lan Xiaobu suddenly asked.
Xiao Yueshui nodded, "Yes. Every time I cultivate, I don't make any progress. It's the same even if I eat immortal pills."
Lan Xiaobu silently cursed at the stupidity of that Pill Nightmare. If that Pill Nightmare wasn't insatiably greedy, it would always leave behind some elixir residue for Xiao Yueshui, allowing Xiao Yueshui to have a slight chance of improving after consuming the elixir. Then, the Pill Nightmare would grow even faster. Because of this, Xiao Yueshui would constantly eat all sorts of immortal pills to increase his strength.
Lan Xiaobu didn't say anything else. He had already said what he needed to say. He couldn't say what he shouldn't say now. If Xiao Yueshui didn't agree, then he would take his leave. Before he left, he would tell Xiao Yueshui about the Pill Nightmare. However, he wouldn't do anything else.
If that Pill Nightmare really had some intelligence and was on guard against him, how could he, a mere Grand Yi Immortal Stage Level 4, fight against a Pill Nightmare in the body of a late-stage Immortal King? There were plenty of experts in the Eternal Jade Pill Sect. After knowing the reason, these experts could help Xiao Yueshui.
Xiao Yueshui remained silent for a long while. Then, he bowed towards Lan Xiaobu, "Lan Xiaobu, I'm willing to accept your suggestion. Tell me, what should I do now? "
He was like a walking corpse now. He couldn't make any progress in his cultivation. His most beloved Pill Dao had also been crippled. His only hope was to obtain some opportunities for the Eternal Jade Pill Sect in this Immortal Court Pill Competition. Then, he would pass on the position of Sect Head to someone else and search everywhere for a solution to his pill concoction.
There was also the reason he had previously thought of. No matter how he looked at it, Lan Xiaobu didn't have any reason to harm him.
He had also given the most precious Nine-Coloured Void Lotus to Lan Xiaobu. The sect's wood-type immortal essence pond was also given to Lan Xiaobu for half a year. Although the Eternal Jade Pill Sect had offended Guang Jie, this was enough to make up for it. Moreover, Lan Xiaobu didn't look like a cunning person.
"Alright." Lan Xiaobu appreciated Xiao Yueshui's straightforwardness. He pointed to the pill furnace and said, "Sect Head Xiao, continue to concoct a furnace of Rain Nourishing Immortal Pills. Then, my Dao will seep into your sea of consciousness to check the situation carefully."
Xiao Yueshui was an extremely straightforward person. Once he agreed, he wouldn't hesitate at all. Once again, he took out a furnace of Rain Nourishing Immortal Pills and started to concoct them.
At this moment, Xiao Yueshui had opened up his sea of consciousness, mind and all his defenses. Even if Lan Xiaobu wanted to harm him, he could only accept his fate. He believed that Lan Xiaobu definitely had a reason for doing so. This was a kind of intuition.
The pill furnace was cleaned and the herbs started to be purified. After the medicinal dregs were separated, Xiao Yueshui's thoughts were taken away by the pills in the pill furnace.
When the medicinal liquid started to condense and even reached the Pill Cultivating Liquid, Xiao Yueshui discovered that Lan Xiaobu's Spiritual Will didn't enter his sea of consciousness. Before he could figure out what was going on, he suddenly felt that there was an additional trace of soul energy in his pill technique and circulating dao ripples.
Xiao Yueshui was shocked. Lan Xiaobu didn't enter his sea of consciousness. Instead, he invaded his Pill Dao dao ripples.
Could it be that Lan Xiaobu wanted to learn his Pill Dao? That wasn't possible. Lan Xiaobu was a Tier 7 Pill King. Why would he want to learn the Pill Dao of a trashy Pill Refiner?
Lan Xiaobu's Dao will had already caught a trace of a different energy in Xiao Yueshui's circulating Pill Dao dao ripples. The Universe Dimensional Model's judgement was right. A pill nightmare had formed in Xiao Yueshui's Pill Dao.
It was unknown whether that pill nightmare's intelligence wasn't complete. It didn't even notice that Lan Xiaobu had also invaded Xiao Yueshui's circulating Pill Dao dao ripples. Instead, it furiously swept towards the Rain Nourishing Immortal Pills. It was certain that as long as this furnace of Rain Nourishing Immortal Pills was formed, all the Pill Dao life force and dao ripples would be swept away by the pill nightmare.
