So, before the elders noticed her, they wanted to create some opportunities for her younger brother.
They wanted her brother to win over Xia Weier and have the two become Dao companions.
But they had not expected that Xia Weier had long known what kind of person Chen Feng was.
How could she possibly be moved by their staged damsel-in-distress act?
Now that he understood everything, there was no need to keep Chen Feng alive. He sent him off to find his dear sister.
After Jiang Yun destroyed the evidence.
He bought some more materials for refining Hundred-Grass Liquid and returned straight to the courtyard.
There was no one in the courtyard, so Jiang Yun went directly back to the alchemy room and took stock of his gains.
All their magical artifacts had been brutally crushed by Jiang Yun, leaving nothing behind.
He had only gained a dozen or so bottles of Hundred-Grass Liquid.
Jiang Yun reflected on it and felt a little pained. What a waste.
Even if he had no use for those magical artifacts, trading them for resources would have been worthwhile.
He would have to be more careful next time.
This ambush had also exposed some problems.
Jiang Yun realized that he still lacked sealing techniques. If he could not kill an enemy instantly and got held up for a while instead,
someone might escape and spread the word, easily drawing even stronger enemies.
Big Dipper people had no sense of fair play. Beat the little one, and the big one came running.
Beat the big one, and perhaps the old one would not come at all. They might just bring out a God weapon, and then he would be done for.
After some time, he needed to consider studying Nine Secrets: Zu and Dao-Script Formations.
Then he could refine several Heaven-Sealing Grand Formations to imprison enemies and prevent their escape.
If he encountered a powerful foe he could not resist, he could also use them to buy time.
Having made up his mind, Jiang Yun began refining Hundred-Grass Liquid.
Today, he did not merely want to refine Hundred-Grass Liquid. He wanted to prepare to refine a One-Turn Golden Core.
He first refined Hundred-Grass Liquid twice to warm up the furnace.
Jiang Yun took out a Little Divine Crocodile he had collected on Yinghuo from the Source Pearl.
Back then, they had killed more than three thousand Little Crocodiles in total, and Jiang Yun had collected around twelve hundred of them.
He had not dared collect them all. Too many would have made others notice something unusual.
Jiang Yun used the divine power of the Sea of Bitterness to inscribe mysterious Dao Runes upon the medicinal furnace.
After repeatedly refining Hundred-Grass Liquid, Jiang Yun had become thoroughly familiar with copying Dao Runes.
Then Jiang Yun took out a Little Divine Crocodile and placed it inside the medicinal furnace.
Pale cyan Fire Fiend condensed into being, and dense spiritual energy enveloped the alchemy furnace.
The Little Divine Crocodile was, after all, a descendant of the Crocodile Ancestor and possessed a Saint bloodline. It was not comparable to an ordinary exotic beast.
Thus, Jiang Yun's extraction of Blood-Origin Essence was somewhat slow.
It took roughly two hours to refine a palm-sized Divine Crocodile into dense Blood-Origin Essence.
Jiang Yun used his divine sense to draw the Blood-Origin Essence out of the medicinal furnace.
Looking at the Blood-Origin Essence before him, which had barely reached the size of a grain of rice, Jiang Yun's expression darkened.
Dense life essence circulated within the Blood-Origin Essence, occasionally flashing with rays of glowing light.
In terms of life essence alone, it already surpassed Divine Spring Fluid.
But this was far too little. One Little Divine Crocodile could not even produce half a drop of Blood-Origin Essence?
The only possibility was that, back on Mars, the Little Divine Crocodiles had had too much of their divinity drained away by the Five-Colored Altar.
The fact that they could leave Jiang Yun even a tiny bit of Blood-Origin Essence was already quite good.
If quality was lacking, quantity would make up for it. Four or five Little Divine Crocodiles would surely yield one drop of Blood-Origin Essence.
It was just too time-consuming. Refining one One-Turn Golden Core required roughly five drops of Blood-Origin Essence.
Refining Blood-Origin Essence alone would take a great deal of time.
Over the next ten days, Jiang Yun spent much of his time refining Little Divine Crocodiles.
His speed gradually increased, and in the end, he refined more than twenty drops of Blood-Origin Essence.
After ten days of preparation, everything was ready. All that remained was to fire up the furnace and refine the One-Turn Golden Core.
Jiang Yun informed Jiang Shuanglan, Xia Weier, and the others that he would be entering seclusion, then walked into the alchemy room.
Inside, Jiang Yun sorted and arranged the materials for the One-Turn Golden Core. Alchemy was not as easy as refining Hundred-Grass Liquid.
With so many precious materials, he could not afford to be careless.
First came the refinement of Divine Essence from the Immortal Elixir. Jiang Yun could not bear to use the branches of the Immortal Elixir he had picked in the Desolate Forbidden Land.
Instead, he used the shed remains of the Divine Bodhi Tree from Mars.
Although the six crystalline, jade-like Bodhi Leaves on the Divine Bodhi Tree had already fully recovered under the nourishment of Divine Spring Fluid,
Jiang Yun had no plans to use them. They would be useful in the future, so he needed to save them for now.
The shed remains of the Divine Bodhi Tree required five or six people to encircle it, and even though it was hollow inside, it was still enormous.
It could easily be made into two or three coffins.
Taking out a section of branch, Jiang Yun found that compared to the coffin board Pang Bo would chew on in the future,
the appearance of a withered tree from the shed remains was clearly easier for people to accept.
However, after the Nirvana of the Bodhi Seed, it was questionable how much of the Divine Bodhi Tree's shed remains still retained the medicinal properties of an Immortal Elixir.
Jiang Yun also arranged layer upon layer of Dao Texts within the alchemy room, ensuring it became a world of its own.
He could not allow the scent of the Bodhi Undying Medicine to spread outside.
After making all these preparations, Jiang Yun began processing the Bodhi Undying Medicine.
To Jiang Yun's surprise, the Divine Essence contained within the Divine Bodhi Tree was rather rich.
A single dried branch yielded one drop of Divine Essence from the Divine Bodhi Tree.
Jiang Yun took a deep breath of the fragrance of the Bodhi Immortal Elixir.
His entire body seemed to float in the air, and he could not help becoming intoxicated by it.
The Divine Veins above the Sea of Bitterness extended by a length out of thin air.
Questions regarding cultivation instantly became clear in his mind, and his comprehension seemed to increase dozens of times over.
The Bodhi Tree had other names as well: the Tree of Wisdom, the Tree of Enlightenment, and the Tree of Thought. Legend said it could awaken the divinity within a person and bring enlightenment to oneself.
Suppressing the powerful urge to swallow it, Jiang Yun sealed it inside a jade bottle made of spirit jade.
This drop of Bodhi Divine Fluid resembled a Bodhi Tree and emitted a verdant glow. It was dazzling and brilliant, while faint, majestic Buddhist chants could be heard from it, ethereal and extraordinary.
After sealing away the Divine Fluid, he put it away and stopped looking at it. Otherwise, Jiang Yun feared he would not be able to resist eating it early.
Jiang Yun estimated that refining all the shed remains of the Divine Bodhi Tree would yield at least twenty or so drops of Divine Essence.
He was overjoyed. He had never expected that a spur-of-the-moment idea on Yinghuo Ancient Star would bring such astonishing gains.
With the Bodhi Divine Fluid extracted and the Blood-Origin Essence prepared, the subsequent refinement of the One-Turn Golden Core went very smoothly.
After three days and nights of uninterrupted refinement, Jiang Yun finally forged a One-Turn Golden Core.
The instant the pill formed, a phantom of the Divine Bodhi Tree appeared above the medicinal furnace.
The phantom of the Bodhi Tree seemed carved from green jade, verdant and gleaming throughout, exactly sixteen feet tall.
Streams of divine radiance surged from the medicinal furnace like bolts of silk, while divine rosy clouds and immortal mist billowed upward.
It was as though some astonishing rare treasure was about to be born into the world.
Fortunately, Jiang Yun had made preparations in advance.
Otherwise, if this sky-filling spectacle had burst out of the alchemy room, who knew how much trouble it would have drawn?
