Chapter 91: Chapter 79: (Revised) Killing_2
Putting the elixir bottle aside, Jiang Yuebai picked up Lin Suwan’s storage bag to check its contents. There wasn’t much of value inside, just a bottle each of Yuan Nourishing Elixir and Dust Suppressing Elixir, a few talismans, a book, and just over a hundred Spirit Stones.
As she expected, Lin Xiangtian did not care much about Lin Suwan. Aside from a Nine-Grade Flying Sword, her best magic artifact was the pill furnace used for alchemy.
Killing Lin Suwan wasn’t originally in her plans today, but since it happened, it happened. If it affected her arrangents for Jia Xiuchun and Lin Xiangtian, she would find another way.
"This ’Alchemy Introduction’ is just right to pass these two days when I can’t cultivate."
Clearing her thoughts, Jiang Yuebai lay on the bedding, stretching her legs and relaxing her muscles while reading and learning.
After only a few pages, Jiang Yuebai realized that talismans and arrays were indeed the source and foundation of all thods; even for alchemy, one needed to be familiar with fire refining arrays and water refining arrays.
Different spiritual dicines require different fire arrays or water arrays for refining, and the quality of a pill furnace depends on how many fire arrays and water arrays it has.
Arrays are composed of runes that complent each other.
The path of artifact refining is similar. Magic artifacts need to have runes engraved on them; when runes connect to form an array that exerts greater power, it becos a magic treasure.
Going further, when arrays are linked together and form a cycle, touching the operational rules of heaven and earth, they can transform into spiritual artifacts.
In this way, talismans, arrays, elixirs, artifacts, and even Puppet chanism Techniques all actually require a foundation in talisman arrays. Learning about talismans and arrays first does indeed assist the other three paths.
dicine is unique, Jiang Yuebai only had a superficial understanding from basic dical books and did not understand this path well.
After a brief skim through ’Alchemy Introduction,’ Jiang Yuebai sat up and found the jade scroll where she recorded the formula for the Five Elents Foundation Establishnt Elixir.
Each attribute’s Foundation Establishnt Elixir requires one main ingredient and nine auxiliary ingredients. Having morized the ’Hundred Herbs Collection,’ she knew that forty-five auxiliary ingredients were easily available, needing only to buy the seedlings to plant in Huaxi Valley’s spiritual field when she returned.
However, the five main ingredients were hard to find, specifically needing the blood of five spiritual beasts.
Spiritual beasts are not demonic beasts; after dostication, spiritual beasts are docile and can be driven by cultivators. Thus, their blood is relatively gentle, aligning with the way of water benefitting all things without contending, which is the core of the Water Alchemy thod.
For this purpose, blood from five spiritual beasts that correspond to the Five Elents is needed, and the Five Elents Foundation Establishnt Elixir will be refined using the Water Refining thod.
It’s best to use spiritual beasts of the Seventh Level or above, corresponding to the Golden Core Stage cultivation level.
"I currently have over twelve thousand low-grade Spirit Stones and just over four thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones. I wonder if that’s enough to purchase these items."
Once anything reaches the Golden Core level, it must be settled in mid-grade Spirit Stones. Moreover, she doesn’t know the Water Refining thod at all, and even if she uses other water refining elixirs to improve her skill level, there will certainly be so waste.
"After dealing with the tattered things on my person, I’ll inquire about the prices first."
If it doesn’t work out, she’ll have to find another way; the spiritual beasts guarding the valleys in the Heavenly Interence Sect do seem to be plentiful...
Jiang Yuebai lay back down and continued reading, but this ti, she kept glancing intentionally or unintentionally at the Yuan Nourishing Elixir bottle on the table.
After reaching the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation, spiritual energy beca full and it was hard to absorb more; her cultivation remained steadfast. In recent tis, her daily arduous practice yielded little progress...
Her gaze landed on the book, which was right at the introduction of the Yuan Nourishing Elixir.
To strengthen the foundation and nourish the origin, it condenses spiritual energy to solidify the foundation of the dantian.
At the Peak of Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, the refinent of spiritual energy throughout the body had reached its limit; to beco stronger required practicing body refining cultivation techniques.
Lii Jiuchuan had told her that after reaching Qi Cultivation Perfection, the primary task was to condense spiritual energy and solidify the dantian in preparation for the Foundation Establishnt.
But she couldn’t absorb more spiritual energy into her body; relying on external pressure to condense it always seed to lack a force to drive everything forward, thus...
Jiang Yuebai put down the book, sat up, and took out a Yuan Nourishing Elixir, casting it into her mouth.
"I’ll just try one and see how it feels. At worst, I’ll take three Dust Suppressing Elixirs to detoxify it afterward."
Gulp!
As the Yuan Nourishing Elixir went down, Jiang Yuebai took out a mid-grade Fire Spiritual Stone, holding it in her hand, calming her mind to feel the changes in her dantian.
About three breaths later, a surge of dicinal power erupted violently, instantly stirring a tempest within the dantian.
Jiang Yuebai’s dantian at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer was far different from the early stage, consisting of five spirals like star points, echoing each other, connected by rotating bridges.
Now, massive spiritual energy accumulated within the five spirals, expanding several tis over, completely covering the rotation bridges. The boundaries rged as if one, with only a slight gap at the center unfilled.
At this mont, under the influence of the dicinal power, Jiang Yuebai sensed her ridians contracting, requiring nothing from her as they eagerly drew spiritual energy from the mid-grade Fire Spiritual Stone in her palm, charging directly into the fire spin.
Under this driving force, the speed of the fire spin suddenly increased, and the entire cyclone contracted inward abruptly.
With the continuous impact of pure fire spiritual energy, the cyclone shrank, its color deepened, becoming increasingly refined.
[You consud elixirs for cultivation, and under the influence of dicinal power, the cultivation effect is doubled, Five Elents Returning to Truth Skill proficiency

Jiang Yuebai was overjoyed, this effect was like soone extrely thirsty initially drinking water with a small tea cup, now suddenly switching to a sea bowl, savoring the satisfaction.
No wonder so many people couldn’t resist using elixirs for cultivation; however, this effect would certainly diminish with increased elixir consumption and cumulative elixir poison, not always as intense as the first ti.
In less than half an hour, the dicinal power was almost exhausted, with two-thirds of the spiritual energy remaining in the mid-grade Fire Spiritual Stone. Jiang Yuebai took another Yuan Nourishing Elixir and swallowed it.
[You continue consuming elixirs with growing sensation... cultivation effect is doubled, Five Elents Returning to Truth Skill proficiency
10]
The dicinal power surged, fire spiritual energy entered her body, and the fire spin continued to condense.
At this mont, Jiang Yuebai once again felt the difference between Five Spirit Roots and Single Spiritual Root; she needed to condense each one individually, spending five tis the ti, spiritual energy, and effort, while Single Spiritual Root only needed to condense the spiritual energy of one root to be ready for Foundation Establishnt.
If she didn’t use elixirs, the ti spent couldn’t be estimated. If she wasn’t still young with plenty of lifespan, she should have long resorted to elixirs to speed up cultivation.
After all, elixir poison can be removed, lifespan is hard to increase, so the choice is clear.
Another half hour passed, and the cultivation progress of two Yuan Nourishing Elixirs matched ten days of hard practice. Jiang Yuebai took a Dust Suppressing Elixir and consud it.
A refreshing and soothing sensation spread from the dantian, circulating throughout her body, dispersing into the limbs and hundreds of acupuncture points. It was like a relief after sweating in the sumr and taking a warm bath.
However, whether the elixir poison was expelled, Jiang Yuebai couldn’t feel it, nor did she have any tangible evidence to prove it.
"Forget it, I’ll research the effects of Dust Suppressing Elixirs more thoroughly later. First, I’ll absorb the remaining spiritual energy from the Fire Spiritual Stone completely to avoid waste."
With another Yuan Nourishing Elixir ingested, Jiang Yuebai sat cross-legged with eyes closed, concentrating on cultivation.
[You consu elixirs repeatedly, gradually feeling the effects... Five Elents Returning to Truth Skill proficiency

At that mont, outside Qingxi Town, three or five hunters returned with full loads, spotting a young girl with a big black dog, carrying a rucksack and holding a machete, walking determinedly towards Leyou Mountain.
"Tao family’s girl, are you running away from ho again after quarreling with your mother?"
"The mountains have wolves, Little Nian’er; don’t venture too far."
The girl stubbornly replied, "I want to enter the mountains to seek immortals, to find my uncle."
Woof woof!
In the oblique light of the west, the girl sought immortals with her black dog, while the hunters with beast at returned ho. In town, a woman was grinding soybean milk with her cat companion.
Each has their fate, each has their destination.
