Free Web NovelChapter 327: Chapter 325: Advancement in Cultivation
’Alchemy my ass! As if I’d believe you!’
Jiang Jichen cursed inwardly, but with the pill already in his body, he had no choice but to circulate the *Source Character Condensing Spirit Technique* to refine it.
The moment he circulated the technique, Jiang Jichen naturally entered a state of focused concentration, his mind free of stray thoughts.
But he quickly discovered that this pill was indeed different from the ones before.
The medicinal properties of the previous pills had all been ferocious and chaotic, terrifying beyond belief. They had truly tormented him to the point where he wished he were dead.
This pill, however, had very gentle medicinal properties. It seemed to carry a trace of Dao rhythm, making it quite extraordinary. Wherever the Spiritual Power it contained passed, it would soothe away all hidden injuries and refine the impurities in his body, making him feel more transparent and pure.
Jiang Jichen had tested five hundred types of pills. For him, it was an unimaginable torture, but at the same time, it was also a form of tempering for his physical body, Spirit Veins, Qi Sea, and Divine Soul.
He could feel that he had improved in all these aspects. This was especially true for his physical body; some parts that hadn’t been fully tempered before were now impacted by the medicinal power and refined, making him even more formidable than before.
However, under such perverse torture, many hidden injuries still remained within Jiang Jichen’s body, impossible to eliminate all at once.
These hidden injuries were very subtle and difficult to detect. If they were allowed to accumulate over time, they would cause major problems for his body.
But now, thanks to this Spirit Fusion Pill, all his hidden injuries vanished. Jiang Jichen felt comfortable all over, his entire body pure and untainted!
Moreover, his Cultivation had advanced again!
Jiang Jichen was secretly astonished. He never expected the effects of testing pills for Body Refining to be so amazing.
No wonder Elder Yao had said that as long as he could endure it, the benefits would be endless.
Elder Yao hadn’t lied to Jiang Jichen. But three days and three nights of torture, which had felt as long as centuries, was something Jiang Jichen would never want to experience again, not even if he were beaten to death.
At this moment, Jiang Jichen had finished refining the Spirit Fusion Pill. His mind was clear and refreshed, and his entire body surged with immense power.
’Hmph, after suffering so much, how can I not take some benefits for myself!’
Only now did Jiang Jichen have time to observe Elder Yao’s Alchemy Room.
Although the previous pill dispensary was closed, this Alchemy Room still contained many finished pills. It also held many sealed, world-shaking Spirit Medicines—items that were hard to find in the outside world, some of which would cause people to fight to the death if word of them ever got out.
"Hmph, you perverted Elder Yao! This time, I’ll definitely make you suffer a huge loss!"
Jiang Jichen said, gritting his teeth.
As he spoke, he quickly walked over to a medicine cabinet.
He saw a Dust-Extinguishing Flower!
Its purpose was to cleanse the body of impurities, bringing clarity and enabling Spirit Communication.
This was the astonishing effect of the Dust-Extinguishing Flower—it could purify one’s Spirit Body.
If consumed before a breakthrough into a major Realm, it could increase the chance of success by ten percent, which was extraordinary.
Seeing such a precious and peerless Spirit Medicine almost in his grasp, a smile began to spread across Jiang Jichen’s face.
He reached out for the Dust-Extinguishing Flower!
However, in the instant he was about to touch the Dust-Extinguishing Flower, a faint screen of light suddenly materialized around it.
Jiang Jichen’s hand made contact with that screen of light.
BOOM!
A terrifying force erupted from the screen of light, blasting Jiang Jichen away.
"A Restriction! It’s a Restriction... That damn old man, he’s too cunning!"
Jiang Jichen cried out helplessly, shaking his numb palm.
No wonder that damn old man was so comfortable leaving him here alone. It turned out all the Miracle Pills and medicines were protected by Restrictions; with his current Cultivation, he couldn’t take any of them.
’Fine,’ Jiang Jichen thought. ’For the sake of my Cultivation advancing and that Spirit Fusion Pill, I’ll let you off the hook for now, you damn old man!’
In truth, he knew that the Spirit Fusion Pill was extraordinary. Its effects were astonishing, and its value was difficult to estimate.
More importantly, Elder Yao had actually noticed that he held some extraordinary secrets, but... he hadn’t asked a single thing. He didn’t even seem to care!
Furthermore, he had resumed the Body Refining Dao and cultivated it to the Innate Tenth Realm. If the Noble Families were to find out that he intended to continue down this path, they would stop at nothing to eliminate him.
And yet, Elder Yao was encouraging him, even helping him break through!
From this perspective, although Elder Yao was a bit cunning and perverse, he was, on the whole, a decent person.
Besides, the man’s Cultivation was so high that resistance was futile!
However, if Jiang Jichen knew what was really on Elder Yao’s mind, he probably wouldn’t be thinking this. In fact, he’d probably be coughing up blood.
Because what Elder Yao was thinking was that as long as Jiang Jichen could step into the next major Body Refining Realm, then... Jiang Jichen would be able to test the even more High Level pills he concocted!
It was all for the sake of testing pills!
To Elder Yao, this was the sole meaning of Jiang Jichen’s existence!
Ignorance is bliss. And thankfully, in his ignorance, Jiang Jichen’s mood quickly stabilized.
He thought to himself, ’This is the Medicine Pavilion. I can look around first and see which of the Spirit Medicines required by the Undying Pill Formulas are here. Whatever is missing, I’ll just have to look for it outside, or... I could ask that perverted Elder Yao!’
And so, Jiang Jichen walked out of Elder Yao’s Alchemy Room.
The moment he stepped out, Jiang Jichen found himself looking not at a hallway, but a mountain valley. There was a medicinal garden here, not large, but planted within it were peerless Holy Medicines. The Anomalies they emanated were incredibly stunning, like flowing, Seven-Color rays of light.
In the center of the medicinal garden was a Spiritual Spring suffused with the aura of the Holy Dao!
’This is a Half-Saint Level Spirit Eye, and it’s being used... to water medicinal herbs!’
Jiang Jichen’s heart began to race, and it took a long while before he calmed down. freewebnøvel.coɱ
He began to observe the Spirit Medicines in the garden, looking for any that he needed.
"A Reversed Spirit Flower!"
Finally, Jiang Jichen spotted a very unique flower. It grew upside down, blooming towards the earth. Its medicinal aura was dense, and it had an extraordinary appearance.
The Reversed Spirit Flower, one of the main ingredients for the Undying Pill Formulas!
Now, he had found three of the main ingredients: the White Turtle Longevity Grass, the Seventh Grade Purple Lotus, and the Reversed Spirit Flower. All that was left was the Phoenix Blood.
There were also several supplementary ingredients, but they weren’t difficult to find and should all be available here in the Medicine Pavilion.
With that, Jiang Jichen left the small valley and continued on his way.
As he walked through the small valley, Jiang Jichen felt the ancient, dark-green wooden plaque Elder Yao had given him emitting faint wisps of strange energy, but he didn’t pay it much mind.
As he exited the small valley, he suddenly saw fields of medicinal herbs stretching out before him, planted with all sorts of precious Spirit Medicines.
Jiang Jichen walked along the paths bordering the fields, simultaneously scanning for the Spirit Medicines he was looking for.
And just as he expected, these medicinal fields did indeed contain the supplementary ingredients he needed for the Undying Pill Formulas.
This discovery put Jiang Jichen in an even better mood. His eyes continued to scan the fields of Spirit Medicine, as he was only missing one or two ingredients now!
"Ah!"
However, just as Jiang Jichen was engrossed in his search for Spirit Medicines, he suddenly bumped into someone and heard a delicate cry.
’That voice sounds a little familiar!’
That was Jiang Jichen’s first thought.
Then he looked up and was momentarily stunned.
Qingya!
’What is she doing here? Am I seeing things?’
Just then, a scolding voice rang out. "How audacious! Where did you come from, boy? Is the Spirit Medicine Pavilion a place you can just come and go as you please? And you even dared to collide with a disciple of my Pharmacist System! You’re truly courting death!"
