Chapter 67 - barrier-breaking pill (first update)
He was waiting for Ye Sheng to come back. Lonemoon was dressed in red. From his back, he looked a little graceful, but when he turned around, he was flat on the ground.
“You’re back. What did Noble Consort Ye Say?”Beauty Zhou’s eyes lit up when she saw Ye Sheng and asked. Ye Sheng pondered for a moment and asked, “Do you know about the west mountain hunting?” “You’re going to participate in the west mountain hunting?”Beauty Zhou’s expression changed.
“Yes, as long as I participate in the west mountain hunting, I can disobey the old lady and not say anything.”Ye Sheng nodded.
“The west mountain hunting is very dangerous. You’re only at the fourth sky of the postnatal realm. Although you can fight against a seventh sky, all kinds of schemes and tricks will happen on the west mountain. If you offend the Hu family, they will definitely think of ways to target you.”Beauty Zhou said worriedly. Ye Sheng smiled calmly and said, “I’ve already agreed. If the Hu family wants to kill me, then let’s give it a try.” Beauty Zhou sighed and said, “Since you’re participating, take advantage of the fact that there’s still some time to raise your cultivation base. The West Mountain Hunt has all kinds of methods. If you raise your strength a little, you can protect your life a little.”
Ye Sheng thought about it and agreed. There was still half a month before the West Mountain Hunt. This period of time could be used to improve himself.
“Thank you.”Ye Sheng suddenly said to Beauty Zhou.
“Why are you so polite?”Beauty Zhou said with a smile.
“I don’t know why, but I just want to thank you,”Ye Sheng said softly. He knew that if it weren’t for Beauty Zhou this time, he would need at least a few days to see his big sister.
“You just have to work hard. Don’t die on the West Mountain Hunt. If you die, the people in the Ye residence will probably laugh out loud, “Beauty Zhou said.
Ye Sheng understood that the people who wanted him dead the most in this world were the people from the Ye residence and the Hu family.
The night was slightly cold. Ye Sheng returned to his room and began to move his qi and blood. He worked hard to cultivate and improve himself.
The next day, Ye Sheng went straight to the monastery early in the morning.
Inside the monastery, Priest Qingxu looked at ye Sheng and asked, “Have you settled your matter?”
Ye Sheng told him that he was going to participate in the West Mountain Hunt,
priest Qingxu said in a low voice, “The West Mountain Hunt, our Jixia Academy also has a spot, but it was given to someone else. Because it was too dangerous, I didn’t ask for it. I didn’t expect you to participate in it.”
“Master, is there any pill that can help me increase my cultivation in a short period of time without too many side effects?”Ye Sheng asked expectantly.
The only way he could think of to quickly increase his cultivation level was through pills.
However, he had only been refining pills for a short period of time, so he did not know much about many pills. He did not know what precious pills could help him.
Priest Qingxu thought for a moment and said, “There is a kind of pill that you can try to refine yourself.”
“What kind of Pill?”Ye Sheng’s eyes lit up. “Barrier-breaking pill.”Priest Qingxu smiled slightly,
“As the name implies, the barrier-breaking pill is to break through the maze. Every obstacle on the path of cultivation is a maze that prevents people from exploring the path. and the barrier-breaking pill can break through a layer of fog and reduce one obstacle for You,”Priest Qingxu explained.
“This kind of pill is very difficult to refine, right?”Ye Sheng asked worriedly. He only had half a month’s time.
“I believe in your talent. I’m just saying that if you really can’t do it, you still have master,”Priest Qingxu comforted him.
“Then let’s begin.”Ye Sheng’s spirit was roused, and he became excited.
Priest Qingxu brought Ye Sheng into the pill room. He activated the underground fire vein of the monastery, burned it, and burned the pill furnace. Then, he began to explain step by step to Ye Sheng.
Ye Sheng found all kinds of medicinal ingredients and began to put them into the pill furnace in an orderly manner according to the instructions. Then, he began to refine pills.
This pill refinement lasted for ten days.
Ye Sheng did not go for ten days. He stayed in the monastery with Priest Qingxu. He cultivated for two hours every day and spent the rest of his time refining pills.
“The barrier-breaking pill is a medium-grade pill. A beginner alchemist can not refine it, but you are different. You have talent in pill refinement. I believe that you can do it.”Priest Qingxu often encouraged Ye Sheng. “To concoct a pill, one must understand the medicinal properties, understand the temperature, and have sufficient zhenqi to control the formation of the pill. One must be able to strike both sides at the same time, not allowing a drop of water to leak out.”Daoist priest Qingxu reminded Ye Sheng when he failed to concoct the pill, causing Ye Sheng to reflect on himself.
For the past ten days, Ye Sheng had failed countless times in his pill refinement. He failed every day, but he was not angry at all. On the contrary, the more he failed, the braver he became. He was tenacious and unyielding. Every time he failed, he would summarize the points of failure, he would never fail again.
Just like that, Ye Sheng continued to fail, laying the foundation for the success of the last batch of pills.
On the tenth day, the barrier-breaking pill was successfully refined.
It was like an immortal pill. It was as pure as Jade and flawless. It was only the size of a dragon’s eye.
Ye Sheng’s body was thin. His hair was dry and his entire body was sloppy. However, he was full of energy. He carefully put away the pill and placed it into a jade bottle.
“Thank you, Master.”After the pill was successfully refined, Ye Sheng immediately knelt down to Daoist priest Qing Xu, feeling extremely grateful.
Was he the luckiest person in the world to refine pills?
Daoist priest Qing Xu had not left Ye Sheng’s side in the past ten days. He gave him meticulous guidance. If there was anything wrong, he would immediately correct it. Refining pills wasted a large amount of medicinal ingredients. These were all extremely precious, but Daoist priest Qing Xu did not feel any heartache at all, instead, he allowed Ye Sheng to use them freely. It could be said that without the appearance of Priest Qingxu, he would not be able to refine them even if ye Sheng was given a month.
When the other alchemists were learning the barrier-breaking pill, did they have such a meticulous master?
“Get up. It doesn’t matter if I have to work hard. The key is that you have the ability. I also taught alchemists on Mount Longhu, but his talent simply can not be compared to yours. I gave him the same meticulous guidance. He could not even enter the inner sect for ten days, but you were able to form a pill. You have the quality of a seventh grade. I am extremely gratified to have a disciple like you,”Priest Qingxu said emotionally.
It was very difficult to meet a good master, and it was also very difficult for a good master to meet a good disciple.
Ye Sheng and Priest Qingxu could be said to complement each other. Of course, the master contributed the most.
“Your body stinks. Go back and take a good bath. Burn incense and take a bath to calm your mood before taking pills to break through.”Priest Qingxu waved his hand, disliking the smell on Ye Sheng’s body.
Ye Sheng also felt disgusted when he smelled it. He laughed and said, “Master, give me a hug before you leave.”
Ignoring his master’s objection, Ye Sheng hugged him tightly. Then, he let go and ran out directly.
“Stinky Brat, you dare to tease me. You’re quite brave. When the hunt in the west mountain is over, I’ll definitely pull you out and train you hard,”Priest Qingxu scolded with a smile.
“However, this Brat’s talent is simply terrifying. How long has he been refining pills? He can even refine the barrier-breaking pill. I am becoming more and more confident about my trip to Mount Longhu in two years.”Daoist Qingxu smiled smugly. The three disciples he had found this time were simply perfect. He was very satisfied in his heart.
