Aiko shied away as i was staring at her. She was holding her throbbing head.
The Dragon was sleeping, just in case sothing more ridiculous happened, so he avoided the stray arrow.
Aiko squird a bit further, just in case i wanted to bully her again, but fortunately, that was not the case this ti.
"Have you separated the water from the Herbs?" i asked with a sigh.
"Yes, and I keep doing that as the Herbs keep 'dropping' water." Aiko nodded innocently.
"At least that's a good thing, we do not wish to turn the Herbs' Elent into that of Water or at least not all of them." i explained to Aiko.
"Even [Heavenly Blessed Light-Water] would do that?" Aiko asked i curiously as she sneaked next to her.
"..." i had once again trouble hearing. She definitely didn't hear the words 'Heavenly' and 'Blessed' from Aiko's mouth right...?
i stared at Aiko without blinking. She was trying to observe Aiko to ensure that she was not making fun of her.
Unfortunately, Aiko was just smiling innocently, so i was unable to figure it out.
"This is Heavenly Blessed Light-Water?" i asked Aiko, just in case she was imagining things.
"Yes." Aiko nodded happily. It seed that this water was better than what i expected!
i... fainted again.
...
The next day Aiko was sitting next to i taking care of her.
"Are you sure you are not ill? You faint so often..." Aiko was concerned about i's well-being.
i pinched Aiko's cheek. "And whose fault is that?!" She was unhappy that Aiko was trying to play innocent when it was her fault to begin with.
"And you-!" i kept glaring at Aiko. "Next ti you should tell the whole na!" She kept kneading Aiko's face until she agreed to do so.
i sighed, lying down. She would nuzzle Aiko's tails as punishnt for the ti being, since this was the only thing that had any significant effect on Aiko.
However, i was too excited about the fact that the Herbs were a grade higher than she expected, all thanks to the special water. That ant that she would be able to get even better Pills and instead of creating the 6th Grade Human Transformation Heavenly Pills; she could create the 8th Grade Human tamorphosis Pills.
It does sound like that Pill is less effective since it doesn't have that shitty 'heavenly' in its na, but that was not the case! This 8th-Grade Pill allowed oneself to completely reconstruct the body, which was the 3rd way to improve her Human Physique!
i nodded happily. With this she would get the perfect Human Body and even the Forbidden Technique would not be able to reduce her Cultivation that much over ti, allowing her to focus more on other pressing issues.
'In that case, I will speed things up...' i narrowed her eyes. She had enough Souls to get all 9 Tails, the only reason she did not do that was the fact that it would be too obvious, but now! Now that she could obtain the perfect Human Body, there was no need to hold back! She would definitely be revered in the Mainland Sect, which would bring a lot of benefits to her!
i nodded happily once again. Aiko was both a blessing and a painful curse on her mind. One bestowed everything that i wanted, but the other reminded her about Aiko's abnormality...
"Give the Herbs, I will give them a good squeeze." i licked her lips as she stood up.
Aiko was startled by this sudden change of behaviour and backed away a bit.
"You are acting like I would bite you..." i was shaking her head.
"Wouldn't you?" Aiko was guarding her body, just in case.
"You-" i sighed before kneading Aiko's face again.
...
They returned to the temporary Alchemy station where i cleaned and squeezed the Herbs.
Aiko kept pulling out more and more Herbs as i happily squeezed them off the [Heavenly Blessed Light-Water].
She would then place them in front of Aiko again, so that Aiko could store them later.
This repeated for a long ti, until all the Herbs were squeezed.
"None of them changed Elent?" Aiko asked curiously.
"No, since it's not simple Light-Water." i shook her head. "Thanks to it, not only did we get better Herbs quality, but we also enhanced so of their properties without breaking the balance."
This was too difficult for Aiko to understand for now, but she would keep these words in mind.
"How much [Heavenly Blessed Light-Water] we have left?" i asked Aiko.
[Tails Storage(2,400m3): [Heavenly Blessed Light-Water 999L], [Primordial Soul Wood], [100 Ghost Parade Lamp(Slightly Damaged)], [Talismans], [Tools], [Cleaned Herbs - lots]]
"999 litres." Aiko said to i.
"Excellent." i was making sure to extract as much of the special water out of them as possible. This would allow them to use it for as long as possible!
i was happy with this outco and asked Aiko for certain Herbs. She would now start practising for when she would try the 8th Grade Human tamorphosis Pill!
Aiko placed the Herbs in front of i, but since this would get boring quite quickly, Aiko set up her own little Alchemy station for her own practice.
i smiled gently and focused on her own little station.
They kept working, sorting Herbs and preparing them for the ti when they would refine them into Pills.
...
The team was likewise working hard. They were practising their Divine Sense, so that they could Cultivate Beast Techniques. For the ti being, the Blood Fox was the only one that was preparing for her Evolution, but as silently as possible to not startle Aiko.
When i was practising, she created a few Pills for the Blood Fox that she could use during her Evolution.
i did not push for the Blood Fox to get Aiko's favour. It would take so ti for the Blood Fox to realise her mistake, but i hoped that it would not be late at that point.
Unfortunately, if it was too late, the Blood Fox could only bla herself and her fate that was too short for glory.
Not everyone would be able to reach ascension in their lifeti. Most of them would not reach ascension even if they were given multiple lifetis!
That was the one unchanging fact that i could not change, but fortunately, her body was in good form, so she would have an easier ti ascending than what she achieved previously.
'I wonder if Aiko would destroy the Heavenly Immoral Gates... surely not.' i chuckled at that ridiculous thought. There was no way that Aiko would be able to break sothing that's unbreakable for Mortal World Cultivators.
'But she would destroy it if she got upset in the Immortal World...' i believed that Aiko would definitely destroy those gates once Aiko Cultivated a few years in the Immortal World.
i looked around. Aiko was paying close attention to her Cauldron, so i waved at the Blood Fox.
The Blood Fox tilted her head, but still walked next to i.
"Here. Use it well and all." i gave the Pills that the Blood Fox needed in a small pouch.
"Thank you. I will excuse myself." The Blood Fox nodded gently before disappearing.
Aiko these days does not pay much attention to her team. She was either working with Herbs or her Divine Sense, so she was too busy to care about them all.
That ant that the Blood Fox could take her ti with the Evolution.
She also brought with her the special 'bedding' that she tid so ti ago.
i turned back to refining. She would keep practising until she was sowhat sure that she could succeed with the process.
She didn't need to be 100% sure, but sure enough that she could succeed was good enough.
Most would not do it like this, but since this Pill was considered an Immortal Grade, that ant that only Immortals could produce it.
While i was Immortal, she did not have any Immortal Qi to affect the process. As such, 'good enough', was the best she could hope for.
...
A few weeks later, i finished her preparations. It took her so ti, but she was satisfied with her practice. It was not perfect, but good enough, and that's all that mattered.
Aiko also finished quite a few Pills. She was able to finish the 3rd Grade Healing Pill and Blood Pill.
i was satisfied with this progress, but there was also a strange sense of unease. Aiko was doing quite well, getting around 5-6 Pills of a good quality. She still wasted quite a bit of resources, but that was because her breathing was uneven from her excitent.
That would fix itself over ti, since i went through sothing similar.
"Aiko, can you please finish your Pills and wait?" i asked Aiko. For these kinds of Pills, she needed to set up an Array and not have any distractions. If it failed, at best she would lose the Herbs, but at worst the Cauldron would explode.
We were talking about a Pill that took 4 dozen Herbs to refine into a Pill, so the power inside the Cauldron was imnse! So much so that she would have to ask her old friend to shield others, just in case.
"Sure!" Aiko nodded and slowly packed up her things. She noticed how serious i was, so she didn't want to fool around.
i set up an Array and fed it a few Spirit Stones. This Pill Refining would take a lot of ti. There were almost 50 Herbs and she needed to shape all of them and then combine them piece by piece. She also prepared a few 5th Grade Mind Restoration Pills and 4th Grade Qi Restoration Pills.
The latter would not be as helpful since the Beast Core would convert only so of it, but it was still better than nothing.
i looked over the Herbs. They were all washed and looking all pretty. The special grass was also under the Cauldron, which would enhance the flas and make them more gentle towards the Pills.
The supporting Pills had their own little bowl for easy access for when i needed them.
Her tools were prepared. The Cauldron was warming up. The Dragon set up another Defensive Formation around i and everyone else.
Everyone was huddled behind the Dragon just in case sothing went wrong and the Dragon was ready to shatter the space to get i away from the Cauldron.
Everything was ready for the 8th Grade Human tamorphosis Pills!
