#222 - Two furnaces made three pills! My brother is really awesome!
A mountain peak.
A slightly flattened area.
Beneath a formation flag.
Ling Xiao and Ling Yunzi sat cross-legged.
They had finished their discussion for the day.
Beside them was a pill furnace.
Flames blazed beneath the furnace.
However, they weren't refining pills, but processing spiritual materials.
"When will the refining begin?" Ling Xiao asked.
"In another three days," Ling Yunzi replied.
"Will you refine Foundation Establishment Pills first?"
"Foundation Establishment Pills are the easiest to refine."
"Very well."
After they finished speaking, they closed their eyes and said no more.
Ling Yunzi pointed, and a white light landed on a spirit stone to the side.
He used his magic power to activate the spirit formation.
Gathering the surrounding spiritual energy.
These spirit stones were dug out from the spiritual veins of the True Dragon Main Hall.
Once they're used up, they're gone.
But it doesn't matter, soon there will be refined pills available.
After doing this, he focused his mind, absorbed spiritual energy, and began to cultivate.
The night wind gently blew, stirring their robes.
From afar, they looked like enlightened immortals.
A handsome cultivator sat cross-legged on a blue stone, surrounded by a faint halo of silver light. He wore a simple Taoist robe, the corners of which swayed gently with the spiritual energy, as if he had merged with the night, untouched by dust.
The cultivator closed his eyes and focused his mind, his breathing long and steady, his hands gently clasped, palms facing upwards, placed at his lower dantian, guiding the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to slowly sink into his body.
Not far from him, the female immortal was bathed in the moonlight, which fell gently like fine gauze, illuminating her beautiful face and upright back, revealing her outstanding demeanor.
All around, the chirping of insects gradually ceased, and all was silent, with only the occasional sound of the wind.
It was as beautiful as an otherworldly painting.
"Sigh!"
"Tsk, tsk."
A black sheep, hidden in the darkness, almost invisible, sighed faintly.
Its small eyes looked at the top of the mountain, and it didn't even want to look down.
Because...
The mountainside below the two people was filled with wind.
How could that be the sound of wind?
It was clearly a huge flower snake coiled around the mountainside.
Soundly asleep.
Not only was this flower snake enormous, it was also very fat.
Its excessively round body even weakened the ferocity of a giant beast.
It wasn't even like a normal snake, tightly coiled around the mountain.
Even if it used magic power to condense ropes to bind itself to it?
It actually crossed its snake head and tail and tied a knot on the mountainside!
"Sigh."
Flying down from the mountain peak, Black Sheep looked at it from afar and sighed again.
He heard that they were three snake eggs from the same nest.
Why were their images so different?
Fortunately.
Under the moonlight, the snake scales flashed with a little bit of cold light.
The bloody mist surrounding its body was like boiling red clouds, surging endlessly.
Reflecting a breathtaking magnificence.
Which made the black sheep's eyes flash with greed.
Then, it twitched its nose fiercely and took a deep breath.
"Mmm!"
Although this flower snake was lazy and unkempt, without the majesty of a cultivator.
But the thickness of his blood was really enviable.
Therefore, with immortals above.
Black Sheep still decided to loyally guard the side of his contracted master!
Immediately, it took a big leap and jumped into the crimson blood clouds.
"Hehe~ Sss~ Comfortable!"
… …
Sixteen days passed quickly.
Ling Yunzi's first furnace of Foundation Establishment Pills was about to be completed.
Ling Xiao did not cultivate, but stood on one side of the mountain peak, protecting him.
Occasionally, she would cast her gaze towards Xu Chengxian, who was coiled around the mountain.
Looking at the boundless red clouds, her eyes contained hidden appreciation.
"That old ghost."
"It seems that those dragon eggs were of great help to him."
She just didn't know how he used those dragon eggs.
Now, she was no longer so obsessed with investigating the unusual things about the flower snake.
There are countless incomprehensible things in the world.
Being unconcerned with oneself, repeatedly getting to the bottom of things will only waste time.
Just do what you can't fully accept with composure.
Just like now, it's hard not to be surprised by the speed of Xu Chengxian's improvement.
In the previous life, she was able to become the Holy Sect's female emperor, she was better than many geniuses.
Talented and brilliant, with excellent understanding and temperament, one was qualified to enter the ranks of competition.
Genius is just the threshold for entry.
Climbing the ladder of cultivation, if you take a wrong step, countless feet will step on you.
So, she had seen those with talent so good that they were beyond reach, and she had also seen those with ruthless methods and temperament, but she had never seen someone like Xu Chengxian.
"Perhaps, is he really the son of luck favored by the heavens?" As her thoughts turned, Ling Xiao thought of the flower snake's self-bragging words when she occasionally mentioned them.
Otherwise, how should the scene before us be explained?
In these sixteen days.
Every day, as the blood energy in Xu Chengxian's body surged, his cultivation was continuously climbing.
The sound of the blood energy gushing out was like a spring tide with rain, unstoppable.
Every inch of the snake's flesh and blood was making a low-pitched hum, as if whispering, because of the scouring of the blood energy.
All of this was showing how terrifying his speed of cultivation improvement was.
Under the impetus of this force, its aura became more and more distant and thick.
With each breath, it could bring about a slight tremor in the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy.
Sixteen days.
A full sixteen days.
Every day, the flower snake's strength was improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The sound of the blood energy roaring in his body was sometimes even like thunder.
"After this tempering, with old ghost's current physical body, I'm afraid he can be compared to a demon general," Ling Xiao couldn't help but think as she looked at the scales under the scouring of the blood energy.
It's a pity, the flower color is still a bit ugly.
At this time.
Suddenly, the pill furnace on the mountain peak made a sound.
Causing a slight ripple in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
At the same time, the blood energy surrounding the flower snake began to converge.
Xu Chengxian gradually woke up.
Then, he suddenly looked up.
A huge snake head, a pair of cold, huge vertical pupils, stared straight at Ling Xiao.
"You…" Ling Xiao's heart skipped a beat when she saw this.
She thought, could the flower snake have heard that I said he was ugly again?
This cold gaze and silence really had a bit of power.
Then, she saw the flower snake open its bloody mouth to her:
"Sister, quickly! Give your brother something to eat! I'm hungry!"
"… …"
Ling Xiao didn't have blood food to feed him.
So, Xu Chengxian could only go to the Chaos Sea himself and eat a whole meal.
Then, he rushed back to help.
This time, Ling Yunzi opened two furnaces of pills at once.
I'm afraid it will cause a lot of commotion.
At this time, the night was low, and the stars were bright.
It was already late at night.
Not far from dawn.
According to the usual habit, Ling Yunzi's pills would be completed at sunrise.
Xu Chengxian would wake up early, which was also agreed in advance.
Buzz—Buzz—
Just as he rushed back, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, and gathered on this mountain peak, forming streams of light that flowed endlessly.
Finally, it gently injected into the pill furnace.
Immediately afterwards, an unspeakable wave rippled out from the furnace, like a morning bell and evening drum, shaking the four fields and eight wildernesses. The birds and beasts in the mountains and forests were startled by this sudden force.
Buzz—Buzz—
Under the nourishment of the spiritual energy, the pills bloomed with ten thousand rays of light.
The rising sun.
The surface of the pill furnace glowed with a faint luster, illuminated by the first rays of dawn.
Suddenly, the light was great.
"Is it about to be completed?" Xu Chengxian rushed back with a big shrimp in his mouth. "Are both kinds of pills about to be completed?"
"Who told you that two pill furnaces mean two kinds of pills?"
"Does that mean that the two pill furnaces contain the same pills?"
"… … You underestimate Ling Yunzi too much," Ling Xiao said.
"Could it be that two furnaces contain three kinds of pills?"
"Yes."
"… …" Xu Chengxian was stunned.
"Goodness!" Xu Chengxian was overjoyed, "My brother is really awesome!"
