Chapter 195: Meng Po Tea

"Jiuniang, you are back!"

Hua Changxi returned to the Feng'an Pavilion medicine shop, but saw Pharmacist Xu in the shop.

"Uncle Xu, is there anything in the Medical Department?"

Pharmacist Xu sized up Hua Changxi's expression, and seeing that her mood was not high, he said: "I don't have any urgent matters. You just came back from outside, go back to the backyard to rest for a while."

Hearing him say this, Hua Changxi didn't ask any more questions. At this moment, she really wanted to be quiet, greeted Pucao and Aniu, and went to the backyard.

Returning to the bedroom in the backyard, Hua Changxi opened the restriction, then sat cross-legged on the bed, silently reciting the "Heart-Clearing Mantra" until dark, and the negative emotions that had sprouted due to the quarrel with her father and brother dissipated.

Hua Changxi opened her eyes with a solemn expression. The impact of the black flame on her was more serious than she imagined.

In the Golden Core stage, even if the black flame swallowed the Golden Core, it could only burn the surface of the Golden Core. During this period, the role of the black flame was at most to amplify her negative emotions.

But now, the black flame was parasitic on the heart of the Nascent Soul, and had swallowed half of the heart. She clearly felt that the black flame would not only amplify her negative emotions, but also make her subconsciously give birth to negative thoughts.

Seeing her father and brother today, their inquiries could be considered as ordinary greetings between family members, but what she heard were all their utilization and demands on her, making her instinctively hostile to them.

"Is it the influence of the black flame, or is there a dark world living in the bottom of my heart?"

Hua Changxi shook her head, took out the white jade lotus petal, and then regardless of whether she dripped blood to recognize the treasure, or injected spiritual energy, even summoned the fire lotus and the Great Sun Divine Flame to bake it, the white jade lotus petal had no reaction.

"How to ignite the Yang Flame?"

The black flame in her body was ignited by people from the Asura Gate. She didn't understand the Asura Gate, and didn't know where to find people from the Asura Gate. It was a bit unrealistic to want to ignite the Yang Flame from the Asura Gate.

Although Tong Yao said that he knew someone who could ignite the white jade lotus petal, this person had only been in contact once, and he didn't know if he could make an appointment with the person. Hua Changxi didn't want to pin all her hopes on him, pondered for a while, and decided to go to the Xiangguo Temple when she had time.

There were lotus lamps burning with black and white flames in the Awakening Pool of the Xiangguo Temple, so they must know how to ignite the white flame.

As for whether the Xiangguo Temple was willing to tell her the method of igniting the white flame, she could only take one step at a time.

Deciding to go to the Xiangguo Temple, Hua Changxi put away the white jade lotus petal and began to review the gains of this Nine Nether trip.

【Realm: Nascent Soul Stage 21.5 billion/1 billion; Divine Sense: (100+100) ten thousand】

Although this Nine Nether trip was dangerous, the harvest was also great.

First, the realm broke through the one billion bottleneck points, and with the faster cultivation speed, her realm was also steadily improving.

Second, the Divine Sense also grew by a large margin. However, when she absorbed a large amount of soul power in the divine tree space and her Divine Sense reached two million, it stagnated again.

Hua Changxi guessed that this should be because her current physical strength could only withstand two million points of soul power. If she wanted her Divine Sense to continue to grow, she had to hurry up and refine her body.

In addition to the growth in realm, the Shennong Cauldron also became brand new because it absorbed a large amount of Soul River water. Now the Shennong Cauldron is surrounded by divine rhyme aura, which cannot be looked at directly. Looking at it for two more eyes will make you dizzy and brain-swollen.

Then there was the subduing of exotic fire, the synthesis of the Great Sun Divine Flame; the connection with the Floating Light Sword was also closer, and the understanding of the Floating Light Sword Art was also improved. Although she still couldn't pull out the Floating Light Sword, she could also use one or two points of sword intent.

Five Nine-Tailed Fox tails, two black and white jade lotus petals, and more than ten Fusang Divine Tree roots could definitely be considered a bumper harvest.

Although the harvest was rich, the price she paid was also great.

The black flame swallowed half of the Nascent Soul's heart, like a sharp sword hanging over her head.

Solving the black flame matter was already imminent.

Thinking of the black flame matter, Hua Changxi's mood couldn't calm down and she couldn't focus on cultivation, so she simply went to the kitchen to boil a pot of body-refining medicine soup and began to cultivate the fourth volume of "Nine Turns Mysterious Art" - the Tendon Refining Volume. 【195-

It was already noon the next day when the body-refining medicinal soup changed from deep green to colorless.

Hua Changxi discovered that after soaking in the medicinal bath, her body's ability to repair itself had directly leveled up several tiers. Although soaking in the medicinal bath still required enduring pain akin to being dismembered, the recovery had become faster, which undoubtedly accelerated the speed of her body refining.

"Knock, knock, knock~"

"Changxi, are you awake?"

Hearing the knocking, Hua Changxi emerged from the bathing barrel, put on her dharma robes, and opened the door.

Pucao looked at her with concern: "Changxi, are you alright?"

Hua Changxi smiled: "I'm doing quite well."

Pucao looked at her: "Yesterday I saw that your complexion was a bit off. If you have something on your mind, you must tell us. A-Niu and I might not be able to help you with much, but three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang; even if we just act as listeners, we can help you vent."

Hua Changxi nodded with a smile: "You and A-Niu helping to watch the pharmacy has already helped me a lot. I was just tired yesterday. Is there any breakfast left? I want to eat the wontons you made."

Pucao smiled: "Yes, I'll go make them for you right away. By the way, Pharmacist Xu came again and is in the front helping A-Niu. Although he says he isn't in a rush to see you, he has come every day for the past few days. I think he probably really has something going on."

Hua Changxi nodded: "Go and invite him in."

Pucao brought Pharmacist Xu to the backyard and then went to the kitchen to prepare food.

Hua Changxi looked at Pharmacist Xu: "Uncle Xu, is something the matter at the Qihuang Hall?"

Pharmacist Xu walked up to Hua Changxi with a smile and took a bamboo canister, a pot of spirit spring water, and a tea stove from the storage bag at his waist: "This is the 'Forget-Worry Tea' I specifically saved for you." As he spoke, he began to brew the tea.

"'Forget-Worry Tea'?"

Hua Changxi smelled the tea fragrance and indeed felt her mood lighten.

Pharmacist Xu smiled: "I saw you were in a bad mood yesterday, and I didn't know what you had encountered. I couldn't help, so I could only brew you a pot of Forget-Worry Tea. After drinking this tea, you won't have any more worries."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi's gaze softened slightly. She picked up the bamboo canister containing the tea to look at it, and upon seeing the pale yellow tea leaves inside, her expression suddenly changed.

"Uncle Xu, where did you get such fine tea?"

Pharmacist Xu smiled and said: "A friend gave it to me." Seeing Hua Changxi's expression was off, he hurriedly asked, "Is there a problem with it?"

Hua Changxi shook her head: "There is no problem, but this Forget-Worry Tea has another name, called 'Meng Po Tea.' After drinking it, one can indeed temporarily forget their worries, but it cannot be drunk in excess. If you drink too much, it is easy to lose your memories."

Pharmacist Xu's expression changed drastically: "I thought it was a good thing, which is why I specifically saved it for you."

Hua Changxi smiled: "Uncle Xu, it is indeed good tea; you just shouldn't drink too much of it."

Hearing this, Pharmacist Xu breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately you recognize this tea, otherwise if you lost your memory from drinking too much, it would have been my fault."

Seeing Pharmacist Xu stop brewing the tea, Hua Changxi took over the task and continued brewing. Once the tea was ready, she poured a cup for herself and one for Pharmacist Xu. She picked up a cup, first smelled the tea fragrance, and then tasted a sip before continuing to ask: "Meng Po Tea grows in the Nine Netherworlds; that friend of yours, Uncle Xu, is a capable person."

Pharmacist Xu waved his hand: "That friend of mine is just an ordinary pharmacist at the Medicine Department; how could he be considered a capable person? I suspect this Forget-Worry Tea was also given to him by someone else."

Hua Changxi looked at Pharmacist Xu: "Uncle Xu, today is different from the past; a moment of carelessness can endanger your life. In the future, when dealing with people, you must keep your guard up. I can guarantee that your friend is definitely not ordinary."

Seeing Pharmacist Xu wanting to refute, Hua Changxi raised her hand to stop him: "I have been to the Nine Netherworlds, and every time I almost didn't make it back. Meng Po Tea grows by the side of the River of Oblivion, a place in the heart of the Nine Netherworlds."

"Uncle Xu, do you know? I can't even break through the outer perimeter of the Nine Netherworlds. How could someone capable of venturing deep into the heart of the Nine Netherworlds be an ordinary person?"

Hearing this, Pharmacist Xu's expression shifted rapidly.

Hua Changxi looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and still said: "Uncle Xu, if you encounter something you cannot solve, you can come find me. If I can help, I definitely will."

Pharmacist Xu had first become a cultivator, and now he had produced a specialty of the Nine Netherworlds. Intuition told her it was related to Xu Ling, and Xu Ling might be someone who had been targeted by the demon race.

After Pharmacist Xu's expression shifted, he chuckled: "Jiuniang, you are overthinking it. I am just at the Medicine Department and won't encounter any dangerous matters. However, I accept your kindness. If I really encounter something, I will definitely come to trouble you."
