The Pill Is Complete
A tranquil mind is like still water; a gentle breeze stirs no waves, and I sit alone amidst the secluded bamboo grove.
Fang Zelin sat quietly to one side, and within ten meters of him, everything seemed to slow down.
A gentle breeze rustled the grass, and Fang Zelin could clearly feel the leaves slowly swaying.
"This Calming Incantation is truly extraordinary. Normally, I already feel that my mind is as calm as still water."
But today, after reciting this Calming Incantation, I felt that my State of Mind was slightly different from usual.
It truly lives up to its reputation as a Daoist classic.
Fang Zelin murmured to himself, then continued to clear his mind of distractions and concentrate on refining the pills.
The two demons beside him seemed to sense something and glanced at Fang Zelin, their eyes filled with a strange look.
"The immortal seems to have changed a bit compared to usual?"
As the two demons spoke, they looked each other up and down with suspicion.
No matter how closely they looked at it, they couldn't tell what was different.
"It does feel a bit different, but what exactly is different?"
The deer demon nodded, also filled with doubt.
Xiao Qin was sitting on the stone bench, leisurely swinging her legs.
After hearing this and looking at it carefully, I realized something.
After conjuring a drop of water out of thin air, he flicked his hand, sending the droplet landing ten meters away from Fang Zelin.
The water droplets had barely entered Fang Zelin's vicinity when, as if Immobilization Technique, they solidified into a single, motionless mass.
Xiao Qin saw it clearly, and upon seeing it, she couldn't help but open her mouth, a look of horror flashing in her eyes.
She had just been using ordinary items to check the situation.
The water droplet became calm and still as soon as it came near the immortal.
In terms of ordinary Law Technique, it is certainly possible to do so.
However, the situation just now was not due to Law Technique, but rather caused by the immortal's current level of cultivation.
To be able to remain so calm and undisturbed, even to the point of affecting everything around it, is truly terrifying.
At the very least, she can't do that.
The two demons also witnessed this scene, but they didn't understand what was going on, so they remained very puzzled.
"What's wrong with you, Immortal Master?"
The two demons looked at Xiao Qin, wanting to ask her the reason.
Although there are some parts I don't quite understand, it still seems very impressive.
"The immortal's State of Mind has undergone an extremely terrifying improvement, to the point that it can even influence the things around him."
Xiao Qin said something simple.
If it weren't for the fact that she herself had become Quasi-True Dragon over the years, and that the elders of her clan had intentionally taught her, she wouldn't have been able to achieve such a feat.
So over the years she has learned a lot.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to tell the immortal's current state.
The two demons remained completely bewildered upon hearing this.
Ultimately, she didn't receive as much knowledge as Xiao Qin, and she herself didn't know as much as Xiao Qin.
So when the other party gave a brief explanation, the two demons still seemed confused and didn't know what was going on.
"In short, you two remember this: the Immortal Master is currently refining pills, so don't disturb him."
Seeing the two guys' bewildered expressions, Xiao Qin shook her head and didn't explain further.
For the time being, these two guys won't have any access to this information, so there's no need to explain it in such detail.
The two demons didn't say anything upon hearing this. As for this matter, even if the other party didn't explain, they wouldn't dare to disturb them.
Beside the immortal master, the medicine boy sat watching.
It would be impossible to disturb the immortal so easily.
Inside the Pill Furnace, the elixir was still being slowly refined.
Compared to the previous times, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong this time.
The apprentice sat to one side, helping to watch over the Pill Furnace and preventing anyone from disturbing the immortal's state of mind.
As the alchemical fire tempered the herbs, the most essential part of the medicinal materials in the Pill Furnace was extracted.
On the third day, Fang Zelin slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, his eyes were calm and undisturbed. He casually began to condense a stream of Law Power, and then, as always, he directly injected it into the Pill Furnace.
The medicinal liquid in the Pill Furnace began to condense under the influence of Law Power.
The various medicinal herbs slowly coalesced, transforming into pills that resembled elixirs.
This time, there was no explosion of the core.
Everything seemed to happen naturally.
When a wisp of white steam rose from the Pill Furnace, a buzzing sound was heard from within, as if something was tapping on the Pill Furnace Pill Furnace.
Fang Zelin knew that the elixir had been successfully made!
Whenever the elixir is completed, there will be such white vapor and sounds.
The sound of the pills striking the Pill Furnace was like the tolling of a morning bell.
Fang Zelin waved his sleeve and drew out the elixir from the Pill Furnace.
More than ten pills flew out of the Pill Furnace, releasing a unique fragrance as soon as they left.
"The elixir is complete?"
The young apprentice, who had been standing guard, immediately perked up upon seeing this, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the pill.
"It seems he's succeeded, but he still needs to test the pills."
The pills flew to him one by one, Fang Zelin looked at them one by one. He saw that each pill was round and shiny, with no impurities on its surface.
Seeing this, Fang Zelin nodded, then picked up a pill and tossed it to the boy who wore the medicine.
"Come, try the effects of this elixir."
"Immortal Master, why don't I try this elixir?"
Upon seeing this, the tiger demon immediately shamelessly strode over on its massive limbs.
Although I haven't tried this elixir yet, I don't know its medicinal properties or whether it's poisonous.
Even if it were poisonous, it shouldn't kill me.
If the pill is successfully made, then it's like eating a pill for free—what a wonderful thing!
The elixirs refined by the immortal are not something you can just eat whenever you want!
Seeing the tiger demon's eager manner, Fang Zelin was somewhat amused and exasperated. "This pill won't increase your cultivation level; it's only for calming the mind and guarding one's temperament."
"Immortal Master, of course I need this kind of temperament!"
I originally thought that after hearing this, the tiger demon wouldn't be so greedy for the pill anymore.
To everyone's surprise, the tiger demon became even more energetic after hearing this.
Having followed the immortal for so long, it naturally understands the importance of this mindset.
Hearing what the immortal said, they perked up even more.
Seeing the tiger demon's expectant look, Fang Zelin originally wanted the medicine boy to analyze the medicinal properties.
Upon seeing this situation, after thinking for a moment, he instructed the medicine boy to give the pill to the tiger demon standing nearby.
"Fine, if you want to try, then go ahead and give it a shot."
As he spoke, the pills in the boy's hands were already in the tiger demon's hands.
Upon seeing the pills before him, the tiger demon noticed the white deer approaching at that moment and quickly swallowed them in one gulp.
It bears a striking resemblance to Zhu Bajie eating Ginseng Fruit.
