Yi Tian, who was sitting on a flying sword and hiding inside Gao Shou's defensive shield, could still feel the cold wind blowing past him.
Yi Tian, Gao Shou, and Liao Li stood on two flying swords and flew quickly toward Ao Dongguo.
Seven days ago, Liao Li had promised Yi Tian that he could help him get the Cloud Peak Jade Bamboo Shoots from Ao Dongguo's treasury.
This trip could be considered to have completed the Alchemy Hall's sect mission.
There were many mortal countries in Chiyang School's territory. Usually, the kings would have contact with the sect.
If they were invaded by other sects, these kings would ask for the sect's protection.
Mortals would fight against mortals, and cultivators would resolve conflicts between cultivators.
This time, the king of Ao Dongguo fell ill suddenly. Usually, he would send people to the sect as usual.
But this year, it was delayed because of this sudden incident.
And when they heard that the king of Ao Dongguo had suddenly fallen ill, the various sects in the country became restless.
The old king was almost 60 years old, but he still hadn't decided to pass on the throne. The princes in the family were all craning their necks, hoping that the old man would write a posthumous edict soon.
They didn't pay much attention to the people from Chiyang School, so they waited for half a month before contacting the Chiyang School's contact person in Ao Dongguo.
When the news reached Chiyang School, they were assigned to the Alchemy Hall. The Alchemy Hall shouldn't be bothered with such matters of life and death.
The first ironclad rule of the cultivation world was that they couldn't interfere with the change of dynasties in the mortal world.
Liao Li only took a cursory glance and saw that the reward Ao Dongguo offered this time was the national treasure, the Cloud Peak Jade Bamboo Shoots.
Although it was the Innate Wood Spirit, he couldn't use it. It could be used to make medicine, but there were too many substitutes.
The White Jade Pearl Rice produced in Chiyang School's spirit field had better effects than this, but the Innate Wood Spirit's biggest use was to replenish wood spirit energy.
If one wanted to cultivate wood spirit arts, it could be used to strengthen spirit roots.
This time, there was a new outer sect disciple called Wu Xing. He had a strong momentum as soon as he entered the sect. Many old disciples at the sixth stage of Qi Refinement were defeated by him.
His success rate in concocting pills was three times higher than other people's, and every time he concocted a high-grade pill, even the effects of the qi-gathering elixirs were better than average.
Liao Li had also borrowed this Junior Brother's alchemy furnace to use, but he didn't expect that the effects would be so good. In the end, Liao Li had to ask his Junior Brother about it, and only then did he know that it was a middle-grade third-grade spirit tool.
It was a small level higher than his original one, and two auxiliary inscriptions were engraved on it, which were helpful for pill formation.
Finally, he saw that the blacksmith's seal at the bottom of the furnace was a round "Yi" seal.
The pill furnace that Yi Tian took out at the last Alchemist Exchange was something that Alchemists yearned for even in their dreams.
Liao Li also went up on stage to observe, and discovered that there was also a 'Yi' word imprint at the bottom of the pill furnace.
When he came back, he asked Wu Xing and found out that he lived with a craftsman called Yi Tian, so he came to look for him.
Originally, he had planned to ask Yi Tian for this pill furnace. When Ao Dongguo's pill furnace was ready, he would exchange the Cloud Peak Jade Bamboo Shoots with him.
He didn't expect Yi Tian to be so generous, giving him the goods first and taking the money later. This made Liao Li feel good.
He took the pill furnace back and tested it. Although the success rate and quality of the pills increased slightly, it wasn't as ridiculous as Yi Tian said.
Fortunately, his brother Liao Fan was also an Alchemist, and after listening to his explanation, the two of them tried to concoct pills together.
The first few furnaces were all wasted, and just as the two of them were about to lose confidence, the last furnace actually produced two high-grade pills.
This made the two of them excited. Thinking back to Yi Tian's words, a Alchemist had to control two types of flames to concoct pills at the same time to maximize the effectiveness of the pill furnace.
When two people concocted pills at the same time, it was very important to cooperate with each other. After a few tries, the two of them frequently used their divine senses to communicate while concocting pills.
With the increased tacit understanding between them, seventy percent of the second-grade pills concocted from each furnace were high-grade pills. This time, they finally found the trick to using the furnace reasonably.
Yi Tian, who was standing behind Gao Shou, also muttered, "Why do I keep bumping into this guy recently?"
Was the job of a bodyguard really that popular? Needless to say, it was mostly because of his Gao Clan.
Besides, this guy probably didn't know anything else besides fighting.
He heard that his fighting strength was very fierce, but he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
Since the end of the trade fair outside the gate, Yi Tian didn't have anything else to do on his way back to the sect except for a little accident.
When he got home, he carefully looked at the Spirit Beast Cultivation Scroll that he exchanged for.
It turned out that this method was also a secret method passed down by the Imperial Beast Sect, called the Beast Cultivation Method. It was a method specially used to cultivate low-grade Spirit Beasts to advance. After looking at it, he directly went to find Huang Ziang.
Regardless of whether he agreed or not, he directly copied a portion of the Beast Cultivation Method and gave it to him.
He also entrusted Fat Dog's Spirit Beast Pouch to him, and asked him to help it advance within a year.
At first, Huang Ziang's expression was difficult, but Yi Tian immediately took out four Mao Ye needles from the tea pouch.
He even told him that it was enough for five times. Huang Ziang straightforwardly patted his chest and promised that according to his level, Fat Dog could advance in half a year.
He also said that Yi Tian just didn't raise it well and fed it too much. Right now, it was just that it had accumulated too much Spirit Qi and didn't use it well.
As long as it was properly trained and the Spirit Qi flowed freely, it would quickly advance.
This made Tang Lin Hua Shi Cheng, who was at the side, repeatedly mutter that he was a hypocrite, a villain.
But afterwards, he pulled Huang Ziang to stay and drink tea together. In any case, he was using his share.
In the morning, when Liao Li saw Yi Tian arrive at the Pill Hall, he told him to wait. Fifteen minutes later, when he saw Gao Shou leisurely walk into the Pill Hall, Yi Tian knew that this guy was the bodyguard.
When they went, Gao Shou let Yi Tian sit on his magic tool, and Liao Li also agreed. After all, carrying an extra person for a long distance flight would consume 30% more Spirit Qi.
Yi Tian had also just started practicing the Controlling Object Technique. Ever since he was dragged into the water in the forest, he had decided to learn how to fly first so that he could escape faster in the future.
After testing the flying wheel a few times in the sect's test field, Yi Tian tried to sit on it. But every time, he would either crash into a mountain or fall off. He was so scared that he didn't dare to try again.
At noon, the three of them arrived at the Aodong Imperial Palace. After entering, the three of them took out the sect jade token and the sect seal.
After revealing their identities, they directly entered the room of the Aodong King, Zhu Qing.
Standing at the side of the dragon bed, Yi Tian saw that Zhu Qing's face was full of wrinkles. His face was green with a hint of black. His hands were powerless and his blood was weak as he lay on the bed.
Yi Tian and Gao Shou couldn't help with the treatment, so Liao Li had to do it.
At this time, Liao Li didn't look like a bookworm like he did in the sect. Instead, he looked like a chivalrous immortal.
He took Zhu Qing's hand and checked his pulse. Then, he looked at his tongue and philtrum. Finally, he asked Zhu Qing to open his mouth and exhale a few breaths. Finally, he asked the imperial physician about the state of the king's excretion.
He confirmed that it wasn't poison. Instead, it was due to his old age that he couldn't take it. He went to find a place to refine a few pills.
He brought them over and had Zhu Qing drink some water. About 15 minutes later, Zhu Qing's face regained its color.
His hands and feet were gradually able to move on their own. Within two hours, Zhu Qing could slowly get off the bed and try to walk around with the help of others.
The eunuchs in the palace were so happy that they hurriedly called the queen and the concubines to bring the princes to see the king.
Suddenly, there were dozens of people in the room. Yi Tian and Gao Shou didn't have a place to stand. They could only go out and wait.
The princes who walked over all came forward to greet the two of them. They thanked the immortals for saving their father's life.
Gao Shou was used to being flattered like this. In any case, he was treated like this wherever he went.
On the other hand, Yi Tian was a little embarrassed. He hurriedly returned the greetings. He was still counting on the Cloud Peak Jade Bamboo Shoots.
Moreover, the one who saved him was Liao Li. Yi Tian couldn't always pretend.
However, every prince's face was more or less a little dark. This filled Yi Tian's heart with doubts.
However, he didn't dare to say anything. In any case, he just took the things and left. It could be considered that he had fulfilled his wish.
At night, the king of Ao Dong hosted a banquet to entertain the three immortals from Chiyang School. Yi Tian had no choice but to follow.
Going out meant that the sect's etiquette couldn't be ignored. In any case, they wouldn't eat anything.
On the other hand, Gao Shou didn't refuse anyone. He drank wine, ate meat, hugged palace maids, and everything else.
Yi Tian and Liao Li gave each other a look, indicating that they should quickly take the things and leave. The latter understood and directly informed the king, Zhu Qing.
After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, the eunuchs handed the Cloud Peak Jade Bamboo Shoots to Liao Li. Yi Tian saw that the matter was settled and urged Liao Li to leave.
After explaining the reason to the king, the two of them took their leave, leaving Gao Shou alone to eat and drink.
In the room, Yi Tian took the box containing the Cloud Peak Jade Bamboo Shoots. When he opened it, he saw that the entire Cloud Peak Jade Bamboo Shoots was preserved in a block of ice.
He took out a fireball and was about to break open the ice to take the bamboo shoots. Liao Li smiled and asked Yi Tian to slow down.
It turned out that there was a way to take the bamboo shoots. If he directly used fire to break the ice to take the bamboo shoots, part of the innate Qi would be lost. The best way was to use smoke to break the ice and take the bamboo shoots.
Yi Tian didn't bother the two masters. He directly asked Liao Li for help. The latter didn't pretend and took out the Coiling Dragon Bright Sun Cauldron and placed it on the table.
Inside the cauldron, he placed the pearls and white corn stalks. A wisp of fire entered the cauldron and ignited the stalks. After a while, white smoke came out.
Seeing the white smoke slowly rising from the cauldron, Yi Tian placed the ice containing the Cloud Peak Jade Bamboo Shoots on it.
The ice slowly melted into water and dripped onto the table.
On the side, Liao Li said, "This rice stalk also contains spirit energy. After it turns into white smoke, the spirit energy will wrap around the jade bamboo shoot. You have to eat it within half an hour, or else once the spirit energy dissipates, the jade bamboo shoot's effectiveness will be reduced."
After hearing Liao Li's words, Yi Tian nodded. It wasn't easy to obtain the Innate Wood Spirit Attraction. If he couldn't completely absorb it, it would have a negative effect on his future cultivation.
After about fifteen minutes, the ice melted, revealing the jade-green bamboo shoots.
The entire bamboo shoots were only three inches long and half an inch thick. However, Yi Tian could feel the abundant wood spirit energy wrapped in a white film.
He heard Liao Li say that it was done. A thin layer of spiritual energy was attached to the jade-green bamboo shoots.
Seeing Liao Li nod at him, Yi Tian didn't hesitate and directly swallowed the entire bamboo shoots.
Then he sat on the ground and converted the spiritual energy in his stomach into spiritual power. After running through his meridians, he slowly sent it into his dantian.
The green spiritual energy that was originally in his dantian seemed to be constantly replenished, turning from the original green to dark green.
After mixing with the red fire spirit energy, it actually showed an orange color. However, Yi Tian saw that the red spirit energy was slightly richer.
Thinking that his First Wood Spirit Art had not yet been cultivated to the sixth level of Qi Refining Stage, he understood.
