154. Chapter 154: Soul-Returning Pill

Li Yi did not expect that there was a little ghost hiding in an alchemy furnace. This little ghost was stealing the essence of the great medicine. It must be for this reason that it caused the imbalance of Yin and Yang in the alchemy furnace, leading to the failure of medicine refining and the explosion of the furnace.

Such a little ghost could not be seen by others, and even Meridian Cultivation experts could not detect it.

Only Li Yi, who had activated his inspiration, could see the ghost in the whole field.

At this moment, Li Yi rushed over instantly. The little ghost stealing medicine in the alchemy furnace was startled when it met that pair of shining eyes, hurriedly jumped out of the alchemy furnace, and then drilled toward the ground.

Ghosts are formless. Once they drill into the ground, they can escape directly, and no one can do anything about it.

But Li Yi's reaction was obviously faster. The moment he saw the ghost, he immediately used the guidance technique.

Half of his arm was emitting a faint halo at this moment, and under the gathering of cosmic energy, Li Yi's arm was no longer a flesh-and-blood body of an ordinary person. He could touch real ghosts and even possessed the capital to fight with ghosts.

His tall body swayed and arrived. Li Yi just reached out and grabbed it, and grabbed the little leg of this little ghost, and then carried it up like a chicken.

With the halo gathered on his arm emitting.

A blurry human outline was also presented in front of everyone at this moment.

Everyone was startled when they saw this scene.

"What is that? An invisible little person? Is this the thing that caused my medicine refining to fail?" The old pharmacist opened his eyes wide. He also did not expect that such an evil thing was hidden in his alchemy furnace.

Zhao Ge frowned: "That is not a little person, it is a little ghost. I have seen ghosts when I entered Ghost Street before, and it was just like this. It's just that ghosts can manifest on Ghost Street, but ghosts that leave Ghost Street and enter the human world are not manifest. Only powerful Yin gods can ignore the difference between Yin and Yang."

"Master, how could a little ghost run out for no reason?" Rong Niang asked curiously.

"It's already the end of the month, plus many people died in Sanyang City recently, so lonely ghosts naturally accumulated to a certain amount. When the ghosts and gods sweep the world on the first day of next month, they will take all these lonely ghosts away, and maybe it will be quiet." Zhao Ge said, and at the same time, he also noticed Li Yi's arm.

A layer of halo shrouded, able to touch ghosts, very unusual.

"This thing is stealing medicine. Just now I saw a lot of essence of great medicine being absorbed by it." Li Yi said at this moment.

Stealing medicine?

"Little ghost stealing medicine, unheard of." Everyone was amazed.

But the old pharmacist who refined medicine said excitedly: "Yes, yes, I remember. Coffin Ganoderma is a precious medicine that nourishes the soul. It is not only effective for the living but also for ghosts. Therefore, it will attract ghosts to steal and eat it. It is not just Coffin Ganoderma; other medicines that nourish the soul are also like this. Now I understand why medicine refining failed when refining Soul-Supplementing Pill before. It must have been disturbed by ghosts, the essence of great medicine was stolen, so the medicine refining failed, and only waste pills came out."

Li Yi's words solved a confusion that the old pharmacist had had for many years.

"In the sun during the day, ghosts dare not manifest. If you want to refine pills, it is best to refine medicine at noon, under the sun. Only in this way can you avoid being disturbed by ghosts and ensure the successful refining of the Soul-Returning Pill. It is already evening now, the alchemy furnace cannot be irradiated by the sun, and ghosts will walk in the shadows, approach the alchemy furnace, and steal the essence of great medicine."

Afterward, the experienced old pharmacist immediately thought of a solution.

"Since that's the case, let's refine medicine tomorrow." Seeing this situation, Zhao Ge had no choice but to postpone it for a day.

However, Shen Shi, the owner of the Treasure Pavilion, calculated and looked embarrassed: "School Master Zhao, tomorrow is the first day of the month, and the night is the day when ghosts and gods go out. Although refining medicine during the day does not affect it, the day is ultimately unlucky. How about the day after tomorrow?"

"Is tomorrow the first day of the month? I almost forgot. It is indeed not a good day. Tomorrow we must close doors and windows early to rest. Refining medicine is indeed not suitable. Then the day after tomorrow." Zhao Ge nodded and postponed it for another day.

"Dragging on for two or three days, Father, your injury..." Zhao Qian was worried again.

This soul injury had been dragged on for a while, and she was worried about another accident if it dragged on for a few more days.

"No harm, just waiting for two or three days. Your father can still hold on with this injury." Zhao Ge said.

Li Yi's face was as usual. At this moment, he raised his hand and punched the little ghost's head. Because of the guidance technique, his arm energy gathered and could hurt ghosts and gods. One punch shattered the little ghost stealing medicine, and it dissipated on the spot. Afterward, he said: "Why drag on and on? Let's refine medicine this evening. I will guard on the side. Even if ghosts come to steal medicine, I can deal with it."

Seeing Li Yi smash a ghost with one punch, the others felt much more at ease.

"Okay, then follow Young Master Li's words. I will continue to refine medicine. As long as there is no little ghost interference, my pills will definitely succeed. If not, I am willing to offer this head to apologize." The old pharmacist said through gritted teeth. He didn't believe that he couldn't refine the Soul-Returning Pill today.

If it drags on and on, what if there are many dreams at night?

Li Yi said: "Old master, rest assured and refine medicine. Leave other things to me."

The old pharmacist did not waste time and immediately ordered several medicine apprentices to clean the alchemy furnace, re-allocate medicine, and start refining for the second time.

Soon.

The second refining began.

With the burning of the furnace fire and the addition of various medicines, a strange fragrance was emitted. This medicinal fragrance made ordinary people feel refreshed and refreshing, and for Yin things, it had a fatal attraction. This fragrance could attract all ghosts nearby.

It is just evening now, and there is still sunlight. Some ghosts underground were attracted and dissipated rapidly after being shone by the sun.

This is also the reason why the medicine refining process was very smooth at the beginning.

But not all ghosts are muddled. Some ghosts seem to possess a certain intelligence, knowing how to avoid the sun, groping forward along the shadows next to walls and houses, and in just a moment, they had approached the vicinity of the alchemy furnace.

"Meng De, how is the situation?" Zhao Ge asked.

Li Yi stood beside the alchemy furnace at this moment. His eyes were shining, looking around. In his vision, at least three ghosts with intelligence had quietly approached.

"Many ghosts have been attracted by the medicinal fragrance. Most of them are just ordinary ghosts, muddled and ignorant, acting on instinct, not worth worrying about. Only individual ghosts have the idea of wanting to steal medicine, but they are deterred by me and dare not approach."

"That's good."

Zhao Ge nodded and said: "It's just that I didn't expect that there are so many evil things around us in our daily lives. Fortunately, ghosts and gods sweep the world on the first day of every month. Otherwise, this world would really not be peaceful. No wonder since ancient times, those imperial families and noble families have had to share the world with ghosts and gods."

Li Yi was silent at this moment because the little ghost stealing medicine just now made him alert.

Since little ghosts know how to steal the essence of great medicine to eat, what do the legendary thousand-year ghosts and gods of the four seas and eight continents eat?

They can't exist out of thin air.

This doesn't make sense at all.

From the perspective of practitioners, any powerful individual needs "food" to maintain survival.

Martial artists eat Qi and blood, usually eating Qi and blood pills, tonics, and meat.

Practitioners eat cosmic energy, supplemented by various nutrient meat. The stronger the evolver, the more cosmic energy they consume every day. If the supplement cannot keep up with the consumption, the evolver will stop evolving or even degenerate.

However, this is not the time to think about this.

With the continuation of medicine refining, the medicinal fragrance became stronger and stronger. Finally, a ghost could not resist the greedy appetite and rushed toward the alchemy furnace.

Li Yi was too lazy to say much and went up directly. He mobilized the cosmic energy in his body to gather on his arm again.

With a punch, the halo appeared.

This ghost was instantly shattered by him on the spot, and then dissipated between heaven and earth.

"With my current level of guidance technique, it is still very easy to deal with these ordinary ghosts. It's just that I don't know if it will have any effect if I encounter more powerful ghosts." Li Yi thought to himself.

He guarded the alchemy furnace while killing ghosts.

In this situation, the medicine refining process was very smooth. In less than half an hour, with the dissipation of all the medicinal fragrance, the old pharmacist shouted excitedly: "Everyone, the Soul-Returning Pill has been refined. All the essence of great medicine is gathered in one body, filling leaks without leaking, and the pill is complete."

After speaking, he excitedly opened the alchemy furnace and took out several pills the size of a fingernail.

The pills were emerald green, with various strange patterns on them. Counting carefully, there were exactly ten pills, neither more nor less.

"Is this the Soul-Returning Pill?" Li Yi took a look and asked: "Old master, besides being able to treat soul injuries, what else is this thing used for?"

"It can treat soul-leaving disease, and it can also regulate the body. Ordinary people who eat it can be clear-eyed and energetic, and it can also strengthen the spirit. It is said that it is also helpful to Spirit Refining experts, but I don't know if it is true or false." The old pharmacist said: "No matter what, this Soul-Returning Pill is a very precious treasure. Among them, there are three precious medicines, and more than a dozen expensive auxiliary medicines. Ordinary martial arts schools would empty their family assets just to refine this furnace."

"School Master Zhao, take the medicine quickly. Your soul injury is estimated to require at least two Soul-Returning Pills to heal. Don't drag it on for a long time."

"Okay." Zhao Ge walked over immediately, picked up a Soul-Returning Pill, and swallowed it immediately.

Once the pill fell into his stomach, it immediately melted, and then condensed into an invisible essence, rushing straight to his forehead. Instantly, his whole person became much more energetic, and at the same time, much of the pent-up Qi and blood in his body began to recover.

With just one, Zhao Ge's soul injury was healed seven or eight out of ten.

Seeing that it had miraculous effects, Zhao Ge swallowed the second one again.

The second Soul-Returning Pill fell into his stomach. With the second rush of essence of great medicine washing his brain, his whole person was no longer muddled, his eyes immediately became bright, very energetic, and at the same time, all the Qi and blood in his body began to circulate, and his whole state was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even Zhao Ge's full head of white hair began to turn from white to black at this moment.

"Not bad, I can feel that my head is no longer dizzy, my spirit is no longer listless, and all the pent-up Qi and blood in my body have begun to circulate. Just sleep for one more night, and I will be completely recovered." Zhao Ge was very happy at this moment.

After tossing for so long and experiencing so much, he finally returned to his peak state.

"Is this medicine so magical? I'll try it too. By the way, old master, is it okay for me to eat this?" Li Yi asked curiously, holding a pill.

"It's okay. If you have an illness, treat it; if you don't have an illness, strengthen your body. This is the essence of precious medicine, very nourishing." The old pharmacist said with a smile.

Although it is very wasteful for ordinary people to eat it, the Soul-Returning Pill belongs to the Zhao Zhao Wuguan after all. Li Yi is the Senior Brother of the Zhao Zhao Wuguan, so it is natural for him to eat all the remaining ones.

Li Yi ate a Soul-Returning Pill with the intention of researching it.

Rather than a pill, it is better to say it is an essence wrapped in a layer of medicine shell. After eating it, the pill shattered, and a breath rushed to his head.

However, soon, this breath was captured by the little person in Li Yi's consciousness world, and all gathered in it.

That little person in his consciousness seemed to have received a tonic, actually grew a bit, and at the same time, Li Yi's consciousness seemed to have been tempered, becoming stronger than usual.

"Brother Yi, your eyes..." At this moment, Zhao Qian said hurriedly.

"What's wrong with my eyes?" Li Yi asked immediately.

Rong Niang on the side said: "Senior Brother, your eyes are shining, seeming to be brighter than usual. I don't know if I saw it wrong."

"My eyes are brighter? Is there such a change?" Li Yi's expression moved slightly.

He could feel that this Soul-Returning Pill was helpful to him, and the help was very great. With just one, his spirit seemed to have been transformed, and he also had a feeling that he would use the guidance technique more easily and easily than before.

Zhao Ge, who was his master, also discovered this. He narrowed his eyes and said: "Meng De, Master's injury is healed, the Soul-Returning Pill is useless to Master. You take the remaining Soul-Returning Pills back and eat them all. Besides, Pavilion Owner Shen, let this old pharmacist of yours continue to refine the third furnace. After today, I will trouble Pavilion Owner Shen to help me go and purchase medicinal materials for refining the Soul-Returning Pill again. If the medicine is gathered, you help me refine a few more furnaces of Soul-Returning Pills, and the Zhao Zhao Wuguan will bear all the costs."

The disciples didn't understand, but he was experienced and saw it at a glance. The Soul-Returning Pill was helpful to Li Yi's cultivation and seemed to be able to strengthen his innate talent.

This alone was enough. ===== CHAPTER 154 =====
