Warm Jade
"Boom..."
Endless gales blew against the shield of a large ship, converging along both sides of the hull towards the rear, creating boundless waves of air, as if sailing on the ocean.
Fang Yu stood on the deck of the ' Four-Feather Great Warship ', looking at the fleeting landscape below, a vague unease rising in his heart.
He hadn't expected that the place where ' Jiang Xiasheng ' refined the fourth-order Great Pill was not within the Ascension Immortal Sect, but rather required him to go to the location of a fourth-order spiritual spring called ' Warm Jade Pool '.
Having left the fifth-order Nascent Spirit Transformation Grand Formation of the Ascension Immortal Sect, he immediately lost his sense of security.
After confirming with True Person Jade Liquid that the destination was Hot Spring Mountain, he did some calculations using his fingers:
[lucky]
After confirming that the trip would end well, Fang Yu felt somewhat relieved.
Although his current cultivation level is ' Purple Mansion ' and ' Golden Core ', the combination of these two systems allows him to Great Void Walking. Even if he encounters Nascent Soul monster, he can escape if he wants to.
However, I still dislike this kind of instability, especially being suddenly and unexpectedly notified to leave the sect.
This situation, which deviated from its original course, made Fang Yu feel very insecure.
After entering the Ascension Immortal Sect, things went too smoothly for him, which made him less cautious and less attuned to Western Extremity fortunes. As a result, he didn't realize he needed to leave the sect until he boarded the ship.
Although judging from the behavior of others, they all only found out at the last minute, and it wasn't just kept from him, Fang Yu still secretly reminded himself that he couldn't relax too much after living in peace for so long, and he still needed to maintain the necessary vigilance.
The ' Four-Feather Great Warship ' beneath their feet is a Nascent Soul level warship. The formations set up on it can temporarily withstand Nascent Soul attacks, so its safety is beyond question. From this, one can also see the power possessed by ' Jiang Xiasheng, ' the True Disciple, and his status within the Five Elements Peak.
The large ship sailed for several months before finally arriving at the summit of the mountain range where ' Warm Jade Pool ' was located.
Before the large ship even arrived, Fang Yu could already see a group of people waiting on the summit. The leader was a Nascent Soul, followed by Golden Core cultivators.
The fact that even the Nascent Soul Elder guarding this place came to welcome her personally speaks volumes about the True Disciple's status, or rather, the status of Jiang Xiasheng.
As the large ship landed, Jiang Xiasheng finally appeared and shook hands with the Nascent Soul old monster. They looked very friendly from a distance, clearly acquaintances. Fang Yu and the others, of course, were not qualified to see the Nascent Soul old monster and were subsequently arranged to stay in a temporary cave abode.
After waiting for about half a day, Fang Yu finally received a notification from True Person Jade Liquid to go to the fourth-tier spiritual spring, ' Warm Jade Pool '.
"Every hundred years, this Warm Jade Pool can generate a pool of spiritual spring water, which can be used to neutralize 90% of the medicinal properties. It is the best medicinal guide to harmonize the principal, assistant, and adjuvant ingredients, increasing the probability of pill formation by 30%. With Senior Brother Jiangxia's Dao of Alchemy skills, plus this spiritual spring water, the probability of pill formation is already 90%."
As True Person Jade Liquid led them to the Warm Jade Pool, he introduced it to them. Before they knew it, they had reached the summit, where they could see a jade pool about ten zhang in diameter in the distance.
As the breeze blew, ripples spread across the pond, creating a shimmering effect.
At this moment, three circles were drawn around the Jade Pool. The closest one to the Jade Pool was ' Jiang Xiasheng ', the outer circle contained the positions of Third-Tier Alchemist such as True Person Jade Liquid, and the outermost circle contained the positions of auxiliary Alchemist such as Fang Yu.
Fang Yu arrived at his location and looked at a small pool in front of him. The pool was about the size of a water vat, and spring water was constantly bubbling inside. Its Spiritual Qi energy was even stronger than that of his cave abode.
'This spiritual spring has already reached the fourth-tier superior grade, and it's not far from the fifth tier!'
Fang Yu thought to himself, glancing at the main spring near Jiang Xiasheng, guessing that he had probably already broken through to the fifth rank.
'I wonder what kind of pill Jiang Xiasheng is refining, that it requires such a high-level spiritual spring. It shouldn't be a fourth-tier pill like the ' Form Nascent Soul ' pill I previously guessed.'
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Xiasheng waved his hand, and beams of light flew out, landing in front of True Person Jade Liquid and the others. Fang Yu then received a large quantity of first-tier spirit medicine from True Person Jade Liquid, along with the corresponding request, "Clear Spirit Water."
Fang Yu a Buddha image in his palm, and portions of spirit medicine fell into the medicine box beside him. He then began to refine the ' Clear Spirit Water,' which required the least technical skill.
Time passed day by day.
Fang Yu continuously refined various auxiliary materials according to the requirements, most of which were first-tier, with occasional second-tier ones. He wasn't constantly refining them; sometimes he would refine for three days and then have three months of downtime.
The core support comes from third-tier Alchemist like True Person Jade Liquid, while Fang Yu and his group are essentially supporters of support.
Therefore, whenever he had free time, Fang Yu would focus his energy on his own Purple Mansion.
His Purple Mansion wasn't very large, only about a hundred miles in circumference, and it was now beginning to take shape.
After he guided the land with his divine Divine Thought, the ground began to undulate, gradually forming mountains and rivers, which, along with the falling wind and rain, accumulated into lakes.
After Fang Yu scattered the grass seeds he had prepared earlier on the ground, the desolate ground was quickly covered with grass.
Fang Yu planned out different areas piece by piece, as if he were playing a city simulation game, planning residential areas, jungle areas, grassland areas, mountain areas, plains areas, and so on within his Purple Mansion space.
Soon, Fang Yu had almost finished planning his Purple Mansion space, with each area clearly defined.
'Yes, the plans for each area have been finalized. Except for the grasslands where grass has already grown, the rest of the land still needs to be moved from outside into the Purple Mansion.'
Turf is easy to prepare; just scatter some grass seeds. The rest of the area is more difficult. Whether planting trees or vegetables, it all requires transporting spiritual energy from outside. Moreover, the Spiritual Qi within his Purple Mansion depends entirely on this external transport. It's manageable now, but once he begins formally cultivating the Golden Core Cultivation Method, there won't be as much Spiritual Qi to nourish his Purple Mansion. Therefore, the best solution would be to create a Spirit Vein within his Purple Mansion.
There are also spiritual springs, such as the ' Warm Jade Pool ' in front of us. If we could introduce the spring water from here into the Purple Mansion, it would surely allow the Purple Mansion to become a secret realm more quickly, and in the future, it might even be promoted to a blessed land, or even a winter paradise.
*****
Alchemy knows no time.
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Since Fang Yu completed a second-tier auxiliary skill a year ago, he has not had any further missions.
On this day, as he was fine-tuning his own Purple Mansion as usual, he suddenly sensed a violent fluctuation of Spiritual Qi and opened his eyes.
Then one could see that the ' Warm Jade Pool ' was filled with radiant light, and the pool water was constantly swirling. At the same time, the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth was frantically converging towards this place, forming a massive Spiritual Qi chasm in the sky, as if someone was forming a golden core.
No, this is the formation of the Golden Core. Cultivators need to draw upon a massive amount of Spiritual Qi to form their Golden Core. Similarly, high-grade pills also require a massive amount of Spiritual Qi to form their Golden Core.
'This pill is at least a high-grade fourth-rank pill!'
Fang Yu thought to himself, using his Divine Thought to passively sense the pill that was about to take shape. This was equivalent to Jiang Xiasheng personally telling him how to refine a fourth-grade high-quality pill, and without any reservations. This would be of great help to him in becoming Fourth-Tier Alchemist.
