Testing the Medicine

Fang Zelin returned to his seat.

Li Youyun and his companion attracted the attention of countless demons in the Dragon Palace.

The main reason was that they had all spoken a few words to the immortals who had spoken earlier, which was something some demons found interesting.

This is naturally a signal, perhaps indicating that the immortal master favors these two, or perhaps something else entirely.

So after Fang Zelin left, the other fairies put on friendly smiles and came over to greet him.

This situation caught both Li Youyun and the other person somewhat off guard.

Fang Zelin returned to his seat and continued drinking with Lao Long.

Old Long spoke with some emotion about the things that had happened over the years, while Fang Zelin listened attentively.

"Over the years, quite a few Dragon Race from beyond the East Sea have wanted to come to my land."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Fang Zelin didn't know much about things outside the East Sea.

Many years ago, there was a Aquatic Race from the outer sea that wanted to unite with the Aquatic Race in this area.

By instigating floods, they hope to gain a share of Human Race Karmic Fortune.

Because Fang Zelin was present, the other party slunk away.

No further involvement of the Aquatic Race was observed afterward.

Presumably, it was Fang Zelin's interference at the time that prevented these Aquatic Race from rashly participating in the matter.

Then Jiuchuan successfully established the Great Qian Dynasty.

Now, several hundred years have passed, and although there have been several floods in various parts of the Great Qian Dynasty, they have not been particularly deadly.

This included the governance and dredging of waterways by the Great Qian Dynasty, as well as the intervention of the Dragon Race.

"I know a little about this too."

At this moment, the Great Marsh Dragon King also came over and sat down on a stool.

Having finally let go of that last bit of obsession, he felt much more at ease.

Having abandoned his previous desire to ask the immortal before him for a fortuitous opportunity, he was now able to come over and talk with him openly.

Upon seeing the Great Marsh Dragon King before him, Fang Zelin could clearly sense the change in the other's temperament.

Upon seeing this, he nodded slightly to the other party.

"About several decades ago, an Aquatic Race from overseas suddenly appeared in front of my Dragon King Temple, wanting to discuss a grand plan with me."

"They call it a grand plan, but it's really just about the Human Race Karmic Fortune Great Qian the Great Qian Dynasty's fortune is so strong that probably no other dynasty in history can compare to it. Now that the Great Qian Dynasty is about to fall, some demons have started to have their own ideas."

"Now even the Aquatic Race overseas have their eyes on this, hoping to get a share of the Great Qian's Human Race Karmic Fortune. So they've come to us, hoping to use Law Technique to flood the Human Race cities."

"As long as we can attack the cities along the river, causing resentment and rebellion among the Great Qian Dynasty, we can disrupt the Human Race Karmic Fortune and successfully divide it up."

The Great Marsh Dragon King of the Swamp chuckled and shook his head as he finished speaking.

"Those Aquatic Race, hearing that I have failed to attain the True Dragon form for hundreds of years, use this to incite me; it's utterly laughable."

The Great Marsh Dragon King the Swamp said this with a look of disdain.

Although he said he was striving and trying for hundreds of years to achieve the body of True Dragon.

But that doesn't mean he would actually do such a thing.

Admittedly, the Human Race Karmic Fortune in the Great Qian Dynasty is extremely tempting; even a small amount can cause his cultivation to surge.

It's possible that they might use this opportunity to attempt to become True Dragon.

However, this was not the method he wanted.

Fang Zelin frowned slightly upon hearing this.

The river transport system was extremely developed Great Qian Dynasty, with numerous cities along the river.

If a major flood were to occur, it would undoubtedly bring immense suffering and devastation to the Great Qian Dynasty.

"This overseas Aquatic Race is truly a grand undertaking."

Fang Zelin couldn't help but frown and utter a sound when he thought of this.

If the other side were to actually carry out this plan, the consequences would indeed be unbearable.

The Great Marsh Dragon King nodded, his expression becoming somewhat solemn.

"Furthermore, during our conversations, I always felt that the other person had some other plans they weren't telling me."

"At the time, they said that if I was willing to join, I would be able to get a share of the profits, and even if I didn't want to join, it wouldn't really change much in terms of the plan."

His words implied that not joining would be my loss.

Upon hearing this, the old Dragon King beside him also frowned.

"In that case, the Aquatic Race that found me back then also had this in mind."

Although the old dragon is a True Dragon, its cultivation level would surely rise if it could absorb some luck.

The aquatic creature's words seemed to imply that his Meng family dragon clan was merely a remote and isolated place, nowhere near as spacious as the Dragon Palace in the sea.

If his cultivation level increases, he may also be able to gain a foothold in the sea.

Old Long, however, didn't seem to care about this matter.

He has been here for so long, and has never thought of moving or going to the sea to compete with other peoples for the Dragon Palace.

For the Dragon Race in the sea, the sea is still Dragon Race home, and only the sea allows them to roam freely.

No matter how wide a river is, it's still just a river.

"Recently, there seems to be a significant increase in demons in the Great Qian Dynasty, and some of them have even begun to bewitch officials."

The Great Marsh Dragon King sighed as he finished speaking.

The Great Qian Dynasty is already beginning to decay internally, and if a demon were to secretly instigate it...

Then this towering tree will eventually fall.

With the accumulated Human Race Karmic Fortune over the years, the Great Qian Dynasty is bound to attract countless demons.

The Great Qian Dynasty hasn't even fallen yet, and it's already attracted so many demons to stir up trouble. I wonder what the situation will be like when it actually collapses.

Fang Zelin had already foreseen what was about to happen in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Fang Zelin and that fellow Daoist had discussed this matter long ago.

Centuries have passed, Jade Void Mountain has many disciples. Even if more demons come, there should be enough disciples to deal with them.

This time is different from the past.

In the past, because cultivators were so rare, many demons could quietly slip away while seizing the Human Race Karmic Fortune in various places.

This is because there aren't enough monks to take care of everything.

However, now there are countless disciples in many places such as Jade Void Mountain Jade Willow Mountain.

That's enough to ensure these fairies never return.

"When a country is about to perish, it is common for it to attract some evil spirits; it's just that this time it has been a bit long."

Fang Zelin listened to these words and then replied.

Seeing that Fang Zelin had said so, the Great Marsh Dragon King did not say anything more, and then began to talk about other things.

The Dragon Palace's banquet for True Dragon lasted for several days.

Fang Zelin was kept in the Dragon Palace during this time, mainly by Meng Xiao Qin.

She rarely hosts a banquet for the True Dragon, and hopes that Fang Zelin can stay a little longer.

Hearing this, Fang Zelin decided to stay a little longer.

However, after several days, most of the Aquatic Race had already left.

By this time, the Dragon Palace had gradually become deserted.

Seeing this, Fang Zelin also prepared to leave.

When Fang Zelin arrived outside the Dragon Palace, he saw that the Great Marsh Dragon King had not yet left. After thinking for a moment, he spoke to the Great Marsh Dragon King.

"The Dragon King's ambition is commendable. With such ambition, how can he not overcome the tribulation of the True Dragon?"

The Great Marsh Dragon King was already preparing to return, but he never expected to hear such a remark from the immortal's mouth.

After the words were spoken, even the Great Marsh Dragon King was stunned for a long time.

When he came to his senses again, his face was filled with surprise and his heart was filled with excitement.

Based on what this immortal just said, he must be referring to his ability to transcend tribulation and become True Dragon!

With encouragement like Fang Zelin's, it was far more effective than any Daoist manual for him!

"Thank you for your guidance, Immortal Master!"

The Great Marsh Dragon King was thrilled and quickly bowed to Fang Zelin.

Seeing this, Fang Zelin waved his hand, "Don't be like that, all your cultivation is the result of your own efforts."

After saying his goodbyes to the old dragon beside him, Fang Zelin turned and rode away on the water.

After Fang Zelin left, the old dragon returned to the Dragon Palace.

Below Yingping Peak.

Fang Zelin returned to his place of cultivation in a short while.

Fang Zelin had just landed when the medicine boy stepped forward and excitedly informed Fang Zelin.

Many of the planted medicinal herbs have matured.

Fang Zelin looked in the direction of the sound and saw that a large patch of medicinal herbs had indeed been picked in the distance.

After some quick calculations, I can confirm that these medicinal herbs are indeed of good age.

"That's right, it's time to refine some pills to increase one's cultivation level!"

"Once the Great Qian falls, who knows how many demons and monsters it will unleash? It wouldn't hurt to improve my own cultivation now."

"Moreover, there are Devil Race on one side."

Fang Zelin pondered for a moment, then immediately made his decision.

The rest of the time was spent on alchemy.

With this in mind, Fang Zelin immediately began to take action.

He had already refined pills many times, so there was no need for such a grand ceremony.

All you need to do is prepare the medicinal herbs and calmly begin refining the elixir.

Soon the alchemical fire was lit, Fang Zelin had found one of the Pill Formula he wanted to refine.

"Essence Condensation Pill."

One of many elixirs, it has the effect of replenishing vital energy and increasing qi.

The specific medicinal effects depend on the age of the medicinal materials.

Fang Zelin examined it carefully and felt that this pill was the most suitable. Without any hesitation, he immediately began to refine the pill.

When the fire in the alchemy furnace was at its strongest, the medicinal herbs were added in one by one.

The young apprentice was processing the medicinal herbs and preparing a porcelain bottle.

If the pill is ready, it can be directly inserted when the time comes.

As the alchemical fire continued to refine the herbs, all the medicinal materials in the Pill Furnace were eventually turned into a pool of medicinal liquid.

A rich fragrance wafted out, accompanied by a strong Spiritual Power.

Even the deer demon and tiger demon who were cultivating nearby immediately opened their eyes and looked in this direction.

Upon seeing that the pills were refined by an immortal, they immediately became extremely envious.

The deer demon stood up and arrived at a short distance away.

This is because the elixirs refined by the immortals will undergo a trial.

Even if the elixir was poisonous, it would accept it if it were so concentrated!

There's a tiger demon nearby; it needs to hurry.

Lest this guy steal this good thing from me later.

Seeing the deer demon's actions, the tiger demon immediately understood what the deer demon was thinking and quickly got up and walked over as well.

They exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's thoughts from their eyes.

"I was here first!"

As Bai Lu said this, he began to grimace.

These medicinal herbs have been planted by the immortal for countless years, and have always been irrigated with rainwater.

Every single medicinal herb possesses spirit medicine medicinal properties!

Now that the elixir has been successfully refined, how could it not be tempted?

The tiger demon, however, was no longer foolish. Hearing this, it muttered, "So what if you came first? If the immortal is willing to bestow it upon me, what right do you have to say anything?"

That statement makes perfect sense.

The elixir was given to me by an immortal.

You, a mere fairy, dare to have any objections?

When Bai Lu saw that this guy was actually bringing up the immortal, he paused for a moment.

It really couldn't refute that.

After all, the immortal's words are an imperial decree, and must be obeyed.

After a moment's thought, it glanced sideways and said, "That'll have to be given to you by the immortal."

That stupid tiger has improved a lot over the years; it even dares to challenge me now.

Don't they even consider who brought it here in the first place?

Back then, although this stupid tiger had gained intelligence, it was still incredibly dumb.

In recent years, with the help of those with higher levels of Daoist cultivation, this guy's Daoist cultivation has increased considerably.

They've also become much smarter, and now they want to grab everything.

Looks like I'll have to teach this guy a lesson later.

It's good to let this guy know that although it has listened to the immortal master talk about a lot of Daoist scriptures, in terms of cultivation, it is the one who is superior to the other!

All these years, it has kept a low profile. Does it really think its cultivation is inferior to its own?

Thinking of this, Bai Lu couldn't help but hum a few times in her heart.

I'm planning to find an opportunity later to properly spar with him using demonic magic!

The tiger demon had no idea what the white deer was thinking; it simply stared longingly at the Pill Furnace.

The fragrance emanating from the Pill Furnace stirred something within it.

If it could be fed one, its cultivation level would surely increase rapidly!

The white deer turned away from the tiger demon beside it and continued to look at the Pill Furnace in front of it.

After a short while, Fang Zelin cast the spell.

As soon as the Law Technique was cast, the elixir began to condense on its own.

Then, one by one, the perfectly round pills began to spin.

The newly formed elixir still emitted a thick layer of heat.

He opened the Pill Furnace and put the pill away. Once the pill was in his hand, Fang Zelin examined it carefully.

One can sense the extremely rich Spiritual Qi contained within this elixir, but the specifics will only be known after consuming it.

Thinking of this, Fang Zelin glanced behind him.

"Who among you will try this elixir?"

Let these three guys try this elixir.

"Immortal Master, I'll go!"

Upon hearing this, the tiger demon and the deer demon became excited and quickly spoke up.

The young apprentice glanced at the two men but remained silent.

To be honest, it wasn't particularly interested in the elixir and simply let the other party take it.
