Xiao Chen Cleverly Obtains a Spirit Pill Recipe

The two arrived at this spot and gazed into the distance.

All that could be seen was a vast expanse of misty water, where the blue water met the sky.

On the vast Great Lake, the morning mist, like smoke and rosy clouds, has not yet completely dissipated, faintly revealing the palaces and gardens built against the mountains and beside the water.

Xiao Chen noticed that nearly half of the palaces were built on the lake, standing gracefully on the water.

The pavilions and terraces are scattered in a well-organized manner, with towers and pavilions interspersed among them.

Most importantly, they are all made of spirit jade, which gleams with a warm blue light under the sunlight, blending seamlessly with the lake and mountain scenery.

There are eighty-one White Jade viewing platforms along the lake, arranged in a nine-square grid.

Together, they formed a large array covering hundreds of miles, firmly locking the Spiritual Qi emanating from the Spirit Lake within it.

Runes also flow among the Thirty-Six Peaks.

A massive array was constructed, covering an even larger area and stretching for thousands of miles, completely enveloping the several Spirit Vein within the blessed land, ensuring that not a single wisp of Spiritual Qi would leak out.

As the saying goes, where water gathers, it becomes a marshland; within a boundary, it becomes a territory.

With the Great Swamp at its core and two nested arrays, it's no wonder it was named the Ze Realm Blessed Land.

Moreover, the spiritual light emitted by the formation can also interfere with vision.

This makes it impossible for outsiders to see the specific details inside the blessed land, which instead makes it more mysterious and inspires imagination.

There was only one place that was different from anything Xiao Chen had seen in the outside world before.

That means that both Outer Sect Disciple and Chore Disciple of the Gui Yun Sect are qualified to live on the Thirty-Six Peaks.

It can share the relatively thin but far superior Spiritual Qi concentration within the outer array of the lakeside Spirit Field compared to the wasteland.

"Please wait a moment, senior. I'll contact someone I know to inform them immediately."

As he spoke, Master Cai took out a jade mirror and used his finger as a brush to write his intentions on the mirror surface.

Then, with a flick of his hand, a beam of spiritual light shot straight into the blessed land.

Both of them are outsiders, and if they want to enter the Ze Realm Blessed Land, they need to wait for someone to come and guide them.

In fact, if it's Wasteland Rogue Cultivator, an additional qualification review process needs to be added.

However, the Cai Family was, after all, one of the Four Great Families.

It would be very easy for Master Cai to bring a nominal younger Lineage to visit relatives and friends at the auspicious site.

Therefore, a disciple of the Gui Yun Sect arrived quickly after the message was sent.

He used his Identity Token to open a Temporary Passage and brought the two of them inside.

They then led them into the Inner Great Formation, finally stopping in front of a small courtyard right next to the lake.

Then he gestured for them to sit in the small pavilion in the courtyard. "Master is currently processing spiritual materials in the Alchemy Chamber, and it will take some time before he is finished."

"Please wait for us in the courtyard, our two distinguished guests."

After saying this, he brought over a pot of Spirit Tea and four plates of melons and fruits as a welcome gift.

Xiao Chen's current identity is that of a young disciple of the Cai Family, so he naturally took the opportunity to look around and observe the situation.

Although it is called a small courtyard, it is actually over 100 zhang wide and over 300 zhang long.

The winding corridors and continuous rows of houses are naturally beyond description.

The most impressive feature is that, looking back from the central courtyard, one can directly see the lake view through the pre-reserved archway.

As you get closer, you can clearly see schools of small fish swimming in the water.

Xiao Chen felt that the face looked somewhat familiar.

Upon closer inspection, it immediately dawned on him that these small fish were the same Fried Spirit Fish he had eaten at Hao Wei Zhai.

No wonder it tastes so delicious; it comes from this large Great Lake in this blessed land.

Xiao Chen soon noticed that the lake actually contained not only those small fish, but also several different species.

However, the rest of the Spirit Fish were neither on the menu of Hao Wei Zhai nor on the Warehouse List of Gui Yun Market.

It's highly likely that these items aren't for sale to the general public, but are exclusively supplied to the high-ranking members of the Gui Yun Sect within the blessed land.

Xiao Chen secretly hoped he would get a fish to try sometime.

Seeing this, Master Cai couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

As expected of a senior, look at his words and actions after entering the blessed land; he's acting exactly like a young person in their twenties or thirties.

And that look of him looking around so curiously, he's just like a newcomer entering this blessed land for the first time.

Even this knowledgeable old fellow couldn't see any flaws; everything seemed so perfectly natural.

That's truly admirable!

While waiting, many more disciples of the Gui Yun Sect arrived in the courtyard.

However, they all had tasks to complete, and only glanced curiously at the guests in the courtyard out of the corner of their eyes as they walked, before getting busy with their own tasks.

Some were responsible for processing Low-Grade Spirit Materials, some for cleaning and tidying up the Pill Furnace and vacant Alchemy Chamber, and others for tending to the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

About 15 minutes later.

The largest Alchemy Chamber on the right finally opened, and a thin, clean-cut old man with white hair and beard walked out.

His eyes were particularly bright and sparkling, making him look much younger.

"Haha, it's Patriarch Cai has graced us with his presence."

Alchemist Zhao greeted him with a smile, "Oh dear, I was busy processing spiritual materials just now, I'm so sorry for not greeting you sooner."

However, he was just saying that casually.

After all, dealing with spiritual materials isn't a big deal; if a distinguished guest were to arrive, he wouldn't have the mind to deal with those other things.

To put it bluntly, the Cai Family has not yet cultivated a new Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Therefore, a high-level Alchemist like him really couldn't think much of him.

Just maintain a polite facade.

Master Cai was already used to this situation, and they greeted each other with smiles.

Then he introduced Xiao Chen's False Identity, stating that he was a genius in the clan's Dao of Alchemy.

Then, the conversation was gradually steered towards Pill Dao.

They expressed their desire to observe and learn Pill Dao as tactfully as possible.

"Observe alchemy? No way, absolutely not."

Alchemist Zhao immediately shook his head and refused, saying, "Daoist Cai, it's not that I'm being overly protective, but doing so is neither meaningful nor in accordance with the rules."

"Firstly, some techniques used in alchemy are Sect Secret Arts and must not be revealed to outsiders."

"Secondly, what good is it to just watch someone else refine pills?"

As he spoke, he turned and glanced at his disciples beside him. "These good-for-nothings under my command, aren't they all constantly by my side watching me refine elixirs for the sect?"

"When I was refining pills, I not only didn't hold back at all, but I also intentionally offered guidance."

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you ask them how much skill they've learned so far?"

"They're all like wooden puppets, clumsy and brainless."

The disciples who had been right immediately spoke up in unison, "It is our foolishness that has failed our master's teachings."

But they were all speechless inside, wondering why they had been singled out.

Alchemy, as one of the four great Dao Arts, is not something that can be learned simply by looking at it. Isn't this just making things difficult for people?

One of the disciples glanced at Xiao Chen, looking at this so-called 'genius of the Cai Family '.

However, he felt somewhat resentful. It was all that kid's fault; he had caused their master to scold them again.

What genius? He probably just read a couple of Pill Sutras within his clan, taught himself a few first-tier pills, and then thought he was something special.

Anyone with even a slight understanding of Dao of Alchemy would have immediately recognized the utterly uninformed nature of their elders' words after they uttered those remarks.

Feeling deeply ashamed, he spoke first to offer words of comfort.

To put it bluntly, the Pill Dao is pure wishful thinking.

The Cai Family has truly declined; they've started acting like some unrealistic Wasteland Rogue Cultivator, believing that they can learn the craft simply by reading the entire refining process.

That's absolutely hilarious!

To be honest, even now, Master Cai still doesn't understand what Xiao Chen's purpose was in doing this.

After hearing the advice, they became even more hesitant.

But he doesn't have the final say on this matter.

So he could only pretend not to understand the other party's implied advice to give up and continue to negotiate, "The Alchemist is right."

"It's just that my young nephew is indeed very talented and has long admired your name, Alchemist. He would like to broaden his horizons in advance."

Therefore, even if we don't learn anything from this trip in the end.

"I also hope to let him see what a true Grandmaster of Pill Dao does when refining pills, so that he can serve as a role model."

As he spoke, Master Cai took out a gift box. "Please, Alchemist, do me the trouble of satisfying his curiosity."

"I would like to offer this as a token of my gratitude for your guidance."

In principle, as members of the Gui Yun Sect, we have no obligation to instruct outsiders.

However, Alchemist Zhao used his Divine Sense to see through the box and saw the fourth-order Water Spirit Pearl inside.

Therefore, it was felt that even old friends like the Cai Family could not be treated as outsiders.

He thought about it carefully before saying, "The sect has rules that outsiders are not allowed to enter the Alchemy Chamber without permission, and there is absolutely no room for negotiation on that."

"However, I happen to be in the courtyard today instructing a few apprentices."

"I will personally demonstrate to them the techniques and precautions for refining low-level pills."

"If Daoist Cai doesn't mind, why not let this young friend watch it together?"

He deliberately emphasized today's connection to low-level elixirs.

The meaning is quite simple: if you're looking for high-level pills or pills with complex processes and techniques that take a lot of time, then forget about it.

Coincidentally, Xiao Chen was also in a hurry, planning to return tomorrow for the Lantern Festival.

This condition was exactly what I wanted.

Master Cai happily agreed, "If that's the case, then that would be perfect."

"My nephew has only recently entered the Dao of Alchemy, so it's a good opportunity for him to observe some of the more basic alchemy processes."

"I can't understand elixirs that are too high-level; level two is just right at most."

"If it were a relatively well-known elixir, and one that would be relatively easy to make money from after learning it, that would be even better."

There aren't many elixirs that meet all three conditions, but the Clear Dew Foundation Establishment Pill is just right.

"Among Second-Order Spirit Pill, this is one that is both relatively well-known and easy to make money from."

Alchemist Zhao quickly went through the options in his mind and immediately thought of the Clear Dew Foundation Establishment Pill as the most suitable choice.

The moment he realized this, a sense of unease crept into his heart.

However, he quickly dismissed the idea.

Firstly, Master Cai did not specify the type of elixir, so it doesn't seem like he came for that.

Secondly, the Cai Family is one of the Four Great Families, so the possibility of them having problems is relatively low.

Thirdly, and most importantly, what's the point of simply watching someone else refine pills?

Therefore, Alchemist Zhao felt that he was probably overthinking things.

After relaxing, he even began to think that it might not be appropriate for him to only demonstrate one type of elixir.

After all, the box contained a Fourth-Order Spiritual Item, so we couldn't be too perfunctory.

He then thought of another Second-Order Spirit Pill that barely met the three conditions and decided to demonstrate both elixirs.

Therefore, Xiao Chen first reviewed the refining process of the Two Reforms Qi Boosting Pill.

Then I watched the refining process of the Clear Dew Foundation Establishment Pill again.

Buy one get one free is considered a buy-one-get-one-free offer.

It's worth mentioning that the Two Reforms Qi Boosting Pill also have very good effects.

Compared to the cultivation pills popular in the Southern Domain and Eastern Domain, this one is about 50% more effective.

In addition, Xiao Chen finally learned the secret behind the remarkable effects of the Clear Dew Foundation Establishment Pill.

Because it contains a special medicinal ingredient— the Soul-Shocking Grass!

It was a Spirit Herb that could stimulate a cultivator's Divine Sense in a short period of time, but would ultimately cause many side effects.

It's not actually a rare species; it's just that it's often used in poisons or hallucinogens due to its peculiar uses.

No one had ever thought of adding it to the Foundation Establishment Pill before.

Even Xiao Chen had never considered this direction.

It wasn't until I saw it with my own eyes that everything became clear.

What is the most difficult hurdle in the traditional Foundation Establishment process?

The real challenge lies not in the test of Qi and blood, nor in the test of Law Power, but in the final test of Divine Sense.

Both of the above can be resolved through intentional training or by taking Ordinary Foundation Establishment Pill.

The only major hurdle is the Divine Sense barrier, which requires cultivators to have sufficient basic Spiritual Sense Strength to awaken their Divine Sense.

Therefore, if one can use the Soul-Shocking Grass to enhance Divine Sense, one can easily cross this final Daoist Sect, thus achieving an astonishing 90% success rate.

Of course, doing so also means facing its side effects.

The greatest secret of the Clear Dew Foundation Establishment Pill lies within this.

After all, the secret of the Soul-Shocking Grass can't be kept hidden from everyone forever, from ancient times to the present.

The true core secret lies in the series of ingenious, even unbelievable, methods and auxiliary drug formulations used during the alchemy process to deal with its side effects.

Its main point is not that it is particularly difficult to use.

In the long process that lasts for three hours, almost every step is interconnected, with various auxiliary medicines complementing each other.

This means that the person who designed this Pill Formula was extremely perverse.

He wasn't trying to improve upon the Ordinary Foundation Establishment Pill by modifying a particular step or spirit medicine.

Instead, it directly overturned the Foundation Establishment, which had been passed down for countless years and was already very mature.

They chose to start from scratch.

Furthermore, during the conceptualization process, one must consider all aspects at all times in order to design such an incredible Pill Formula.

Xiao Chen still didn't know who invented the Clear Dew Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, he was certain that the other party was definitely not a low-level Alchemist, otherwise they could not have come up with such a profound and insightful idea.

It is highly likely that a fifth-level alchemist redesigned the Foundation Establishment Pill formula.

He should be at least Fourth-tier Alchemist; it can't be any lower.

"What a perfect Pill Formula! It's practically a work of art!"

Xiao Chen sighed inwardly at first, then felt a surge of joy. "But now it's mine."

This is thanks to the effect of [Alchemist's Heart].

Although he only watched the refining process once, he had already directly reconstructed the Pill Formula for the Clear Dew Foundation Establishment Pill in his mind.

And it's the most formal kind!

From this moment on, even if the Alchemist Pill Formula the formula comes in person...

It's impossible for him to do a better job than Xiao Chen in the refining process; at most, the two of them can do it just as well.

The same applies to another Two Reforms Qi Boosting Pill.

Although this was just an extra ingredient, Xiao Chen was too lazy to even refine it himself.

However, it can be used to teach other Alchemist and then take a cut of their profits.

The only factor currently limiting the production of Clear Dew Foundation Establishment Pill is...

It seems that only Xiao Chen is willing to dedicate the time to Pill Formula.

After all, this is different from the Two Reforms Qi Boosting Pill. Apart from the fact that he can learn it after seeing it once, it might be a little more difficult to teach others.

Fortunately, if this thing were brought back to the Eastern Domain, it would be extremely profitable.

At that time, it should only take a little time to refine enough Clear Dew Foundation Establishment Pill to make a fortune.

"Daoist Cai, please come visit often when you have time. Let's keep in touch."

"I will undoubtedly trouble Daoist Zhao many times in the future, so please don't bother seeing me off."

While Xiao Chen was pondering, his trip to the blessed land had already come to an end.

After emerging from the room, Master Cai was still somewhat puzzled and tentatively asked, "Senior, what should we do next?"

He felt that the trip was a waste of time, and there should have been a follow-up plan.

However, Xiao Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "It's alright, you can go back now."

Without offering any further explanation, he turned and disappeared without a trace.

Master Cai was left alone, completely bewildered.

In the end, he had no choice but to return to Pingyi alone, still confused.

As for Xiao Chen, he deliberately left the Ze Realm Blessed Land area for safety reasons.

They deliberately deviated from the main road with more pedestrians by more than 30,000 li, and hid in a small ravine, where they launched their traversal.

It was another dizzying sensation.

Once Xiao Chen regained his footing, he was back on the Desolate Island in the Sea of the Compassion Sea.

The bright moonlight was shining on him. He looked up to observe the stars and realized it was about three-quarters past 7 PM.

There is less than half an hour left before the Moon Eclipse is likely to occur.

Oh dear, I almost missed it.

Xiao Chen quickly determined the direction and returned to Secluded Doom Island.

His time wouldn't normally be so tight, but he stayed in the Ze Realm Blessed Land for a while, so it wasn't enough.

Thanks to his swift and efficient actions, he managed to return just in time.

"Bite!"

As soon as Xiao Chen stepped into the territory of Secluded Doom Island, he heard the familiar Red String Bell.

Then Su Li came to greet her, a hint of surprise on her pretty face. "You're back!"

She has been sitting on the rocks in front of the beach with her knees wrapped around her waist since this morning.

They waited all day, from sunrise to sunset, but Xiao Chen never returned.

As the Moon Eclipse eclipse drew near, she almost assumed that the other person must have had something come up and wouldn't be coming back.

"What, you didn't think I wasn't coming back today, did you?"

Xiao Chen spoke up just then, asking, "But I said before I left that even if there were any delays, I wouldn't miss the Moon Eclipse."

"I never expected you to doubt me; this is truly heartbreaking."

Although he said he was sad.

However, the wide smile and relaxed tone made it easy for Su Li to tell that it was just a joke.

So, a slight smile involuntarily appeared on his lips, "I never thought that way."

"Hmph, who cares if you come back or not?"

"However, since you've made it back, I, the Saintess, will reluctantly invite you to participate in this Moon Eclipse Ritual."

After she finished speaking, she burst out laughing, clutching her stomach.

After the two finished speaking, they arrived at the center of the island, and it was exactly Zi Hour.

As a beam of moonlight, as real as the moon itself, fell, the two embraced under the moonlight, watching together the scene of the Moon Witch Tribe's Inheritance Scene.

Coincidentally, the first thing we did this time was a sacrificial ceremony.

The Moon Witch Tribe pray to the moon to receive the baptism of its Moonlight Power.

Judging from this scenario, the Moonlight Power should be a harmless force.

In other words, the inheritance that Su Li received should be fine, and she can continue cultivating with complete peace of mind.

The reason for the anomaly should still lie in the Moon Eclipse Curse.

This can only be postponed and resolved later.

Then the screen flashed, and yet another battle ensued.

It seems that aside from sacrifices, festivals, and ceremonies, the Moon Witch Tribe spend the rest of their time engaged in various battles.

However, this time they weren't attacking other tribes.

Instead, it was a huge Sea Beast, which looked to be over two thousand feet tall.

Now that he saw a two-thousand-foot- Great Demon, Xiao Chen was no longer very surprised, after all, he had already seen even larger Giant Sea Beast.

However, one strange thing is that he recognized the fish in the picture as a grouper.

This is clearly unreasonable.

The Demon Beast Xiao Chen had encountered before that were over a thousand feet long were either Sea Beast or Flood Dragon.

This is the first time I've ever seen such a big Sea Fish.

Moreover, judging from the scene, the grouper was probably not a level 5 Sea Fish, because it was caught very quickly.

Next, Xiao Chen saw Red Flower Crab that was over 1,500 feet in size.

Including its long upper jaw, it was Sailfish that was over 2,400 feet long.

And a nearly two-thousand-foot- Axehead Fish.

They were all successfully hunted down one by one by the Moon Witch Tribe, and then joyfully brought back to the tribe, causing many witches to dance and celebrate.

Wow~, so many giant Sea Fish!

What's going on?

After a moment's thought, Xiao Chen quickly recalled the records about the decline of Spiritual Qi that he had seen on Heaven Star Island.

Could it be that there was a period when Spiritual Qi was exceptionally abundant, allowing even Fourth-tier Sea Fish to grow to over two thousand feet in length?

Otherwise, it just doesn't make sense.

Unfortunately, things from so long ago are probably difficult to verify now.
