Chapter 190: Half of the

Three days later, Zhao Feirong had five carts of various medicinal herbs delivered.

The following day, Yao Qinghui also had various medicinal herbs delivered, along with thirteen iron-clad Warships, causing a sensation throughout the entire army.

Compared to Zhao Feirong, the medicinal herbs sent by Yao Qinghui were even more numerous, amounting to half a ship.

Yin Qi suspected whether she had emptied the entire treasury of the Yaochi Sect.

With the medicinal herbs in place, it was time for Yin Qi to begin Alchemy.

However, before that, he still needed to perform a Deduction of the Thunder Refining Method for Alchemy.

After all, there is quite a significant difference between using Thunder and using a Pill Furnace.

"Altar, perform a Deduction of the Thunder Refining Method for five types of Pills: Internal Organ Pill, Marrow Cleansing Pill, Blood Quenching Pill, Qi Gathering Pill, and Condensing Yuan Pill. How much Luck is required?"

Condensing Yuan Pill, a Foundation Establishment Realm pill, is an upgraded version of the Gathering Yuan Pill.

Among the medicinal ingredients for the pill formulas she provided, the bulk were actually the ingredients needed for the Condensing Yuan Pill.

"Two feet of Luck are required!"

"Two feet!"

Yin Qi was startled; he currently only possessed two feet in total.

Therefore, he must either only perform the Deduction for two of them, or increase his Luck.

"Increase Luck... Right, there is a Buddha statue in the pirates' lair at Mihun Bay, and inside its Sumeru Small World is hidden half of the Present Tathagata Sutra. I had originally planned to retrieve it when we besieged the pirates, but I might as well go now."

Last time he obtained the Present Tathagata Sutra, his Luck increased by four feet.

This time it is half of the Rulai Sutra, so it should at least be two feet.

Thinking of this, Yin Qi's mind stirred, and ten thousand thoughts transformed into a wisp of gentle, warm wind that darted out from between his brows, then directly tore through space and headed toward Mihun Bay.

The next mission for the Jinghai Army was to besiege the Mihun Bay pirates, and as one of the Commanders, he had naturally seen the relevant nautical charts.

…………

Deep in the South Sea, Mihun Bay.

This is an archipelago chain; because the area is too large and the hydrology is complex, it is very easy to get lost or even capsize upon entering, which is why it is called Mihun Bay.

The main island of Mihun Bay is named Giant Whale Island, with an area comparable to half a province of Great Gan.

Upon it are vast, rolling mountains, dense primeval forests, and extremely abundant natural resources.

If there were enough immigrants, one could completely establish a maritime kingdom like Shenfeng or Chuyun.

However, it is a pity that because this place is too close to the Tianzhou Continent, Great Gan would not allow a kingdom to be built here, so it became a paradise for pirates.

Above Giant Whale Island, Yin Qi stepped out from the Xukong Sword Sword Sword.

Standing at an altitude of several thousand meters and looking down, the entire Giant Whale Island was in full view, and he quickly found his target.

In the center of Giant Whale Island is a huge plain, which the pirates had cleared into fertile fields, where thousands of commoners were working, either plowing the land or planting rice seedlings.

In the center of the plain, there is a small city, with banners fluttering on the city walls.

This small city is the pirates' lair.

"Found it!"

Yin Qi descended straight into the city; because he was in a state of invisibility, the people coming and going could not see him.

The mansion in the center of the city had high walls, stone lions in front of the gate, vermilion-painted doors with copper studs, and a huge plaque on which were written in bright yellow characters: Imperial Palace of the Giant Whale Kingdom!

This group of pirates had actually established a kingdom here!

Yin Qi was somewhat suspicious whether the reason the Jinghai Army wanted to annihilate this group of pirates was because they had established a kingdom.

After entering the Imperial Palace, Yin Qi's ten thousand thoughts dispersed, truly searching every inch of the ground, not letting any place go, because in the original work, this Buddha statue seemed to be in a secret room.

Of course, he did not need to dig three feet into the ground.

With Six Thunder Tribulations, going ten thousand zhang deep underground was not a problem.

……

One hour later.

"Found it!"

Yin Qi walked into a basement; it was very spacious, and there was even an underground river flowing by the side.

On the level ground, a Buddha statue was placed.

This Buddha statue was very large, over four meters tall, and its entire body was red, clearly plated with Red Gold.

With large earlobes reaching the shoulders, eyes cast downward, it sat cross-legged on a twelve-petaled lotus pedestal.

One hand hung down, touching the ground, while the middle finger of the other hand and the ten fingers formed a ring; it was unknown what kind of hand seal it was.

In front of this Buddha statue were more than ten prayer mats, which were worn smooth, showing that people knelt and worshipped there year-round, and a large incense burner in front of the Buddha statue was also filled with burning sandalwood.

Twenty years ago, although the Great Zen Temple was destroyed, many people escaped.

A portion of them brought this Buddha statue with them, traveled to Giant Whale Island, and became pirates there.

It is just a pity that half of the Present Tathagata Sutra was right before their eyes, yet they did not know it.

Yin Qi walked forward and stood before the Buddha statue.

While circulating the Past Amitabha Sutra, he used the power of his soul to probe into the Buddha statue, carefully searching.

Hidden within this Buddha statue was a Sumeru Small World.

This Sumeru Small World was very small, only able to hide half a volume of the Present Tathagata Sutra, and only those who had cultivated the Past Amitabha Sutra could sense the existence of the Sumeru Small World.

Soon, Yin Qi felt it; deep within this Buddha statue, a slight fluctuation was being transmitted.

Under the interference of the Past Amitabha Sutra, this fluctuation transformed into a beam of clear light.

Through the clear light, Yin Qi saw that inside was an extremely small space, filled by a book bound with black gold thread.

He reached into the clear light and took the book out; the cover featured a great Buddha.

This great Buddha was completely different from the Past Amitabha; with large earlobes reaching the shoulders, the middle finger and index finger formed a ring to create a hand seal, exactly the same as the hand seal of the Buddha statue, full of Buddhist charm.

"The Present Tathagata Sutra!"

Yin Qi felt joyful in his heart.

He slowly flipped open the first page and saw a great Fo performing a different mudra.

The painting of the Fo was lifelike, giving one the feeling of attaining Buddhahood on the spot.

This was the Present Tathagata Fo, grasping the present and attaining Buddhahood on the spot.

Yin Qi continued to flip through it; recorded above were methods for condensing Acupoints, totaling one hundred and eight.

Strictly speaking, this belonged to the latter half of the Present Tathagata Sutra.

Yin Qi had mastered all the Acupoints, so this half of the Present Tathagata Sutra was of little significance to him, but the methods for refining Acupoints within it were very useful for reference.

"Obtained half of the Present Tathagata Sutra, Fortune Essence added!"

In his mind, a grand voice resounded.

Yin Qi's consciousness instantly entered the depths of his mind and saw the two-foot-tall red Fortune Essence suddenly surge, stopping only after it had increased to a full five feet, which was one foot higher than he had anticipated.

Could it be that the importance of the Present Tathagata Sutra exceeded that of the Past Amitabha Sutra?

Thinking about it, there was indeed such a possibility.

The Past Amitabha Sutra and the Future No-Birth Sutra, when combined, formed the complete method for Daoism.

Hum! Hum!

A sound came from above; someone must have entered.

Yin Qi put away the half of the Present Tathagata Sutra and directly tore through the void, returning to the Jinghai Military Camp.

After cultivating to the Six Thunder Tribulations, besides being able to tear through the void, one could also open up a storage space within their thoughts, where all kinds of items could be placed.

………

Inside the military tent.

Yin Qi sat cross-legged and communicated with the Altar: "Altar, deduce the Thunder Refining Method for five types of Pill: Internal Organ Pill, Marrow Cleansing Pill, Blood Quenching Pill, Qi Gathering Pill, and Condensing Yuan Pill."

"As you wish!"

As the grand voice fell, Yin Qi fell into a strange state; in a trance, he seemed to be deducing the Thunder Refining Method for the five types of Pill, experimenting from nothing to something.

In reality, deducing the Thunder Refining Method for the five types of Pill was not difficult.

Although Refining with a Pill Furnace and Refining with Thunder were two different methods of Alchemy, the essence was the same; the difference lay in whether the means used was pill fire or Thunder.

Having mastered the Thunder Refining Method, he would naturally be able to refine various types of Pill in the future, not limited to the five types of Pill he had mentioned.

It was precisely because of this that two feet of Fortune were required.
