Chapter 814
East A Wang Sea. Deep within the earth veins, it was pitch black, with only faint firelight flickering. A giant pill furnace, one person tall, stood on the head vein. Its patterns were complex, and the furnace body was carved with sea waves and fierce beasts. It stood on three legs and was extremely ancient.
The spiritual fire blazed fiercely. A circle of bright, surging flames surrounded the pitch-black pill furnace, embracing it, while bright white flames leaped underneath.
Li Ximing had been refining this pill for nearly two years. Although he considered the pill theory quite complete, it was ultimately his first time forming a pill with the 'Heavenly Heart One Intent'. There were quite a few dangerous points along the way, but fortunately, his foundation was extremely solid, and he had overcome them one by one.
'The power of the 【Three Hou Shu Xuan Fire】 is unexpectedly helpful, and the dominance of 【Heavenly Heart One Intent】 is no less so. If not for these two, this medicine would be very difficult to refine.'
'Everything is going well, except for one point... this pill furnace can't take it anymore.'
The 【River Furnace】 before his eyes was passed down from his ancestors and was obtained by his ancestors during the disaster of the market. It was only at the Qi Refining level, but it looked ancient and was built in ancient times, with extremely sturdy materials, which is why it had barely been used until today.
But no matter how sturdy it was, this thing couldn't withstand the Zifu cultivator's divine ability and true fire refining together. This power was enough to turn this pill furnace into a liquid state, and it was only by relying on his divine ability to protect it that it barely maintained its form.
'After refining this furnace of medicinal pills, this pill furnace can no longer be used.'
At the moment, the refining of the medicinal pills was nearing the final period of warming and nourishing, and he could finally relax his mind. Li Ximing pinched the formula and cast the spell. The divine ability covering the furnace flashed brightly. He stood up, joined his two fingers together, placed them in front of his lips, and spat out a bit of purple light.
This bit of Bright Yang Flame obtained his divine ability and appeared full of spiritual energy. It drilled under the pill furnace and fell into the 【Three Hou Shu Xuan Fire】. Li Ximing then chanted:
"Three Shu True Fire, nourish the treasure pill, focus and concentrate, carefully wait for its light."
He then withdrew, not leaving a bit of spiritual sense, only leaving the divine ability to protect the pill furnace. This spiritual fire then obediently performed this warming and nourishing path for him.
The 【Three Hou Shu Xuan Fire】 was, after all, a pill-refining spiritual fire praised by the Yuan Dao True Person Tantai Lingtong. It helped a lot in the process of refining this medicinal pill, and the spirituality of the fire itself was sufficient, without too much destructiveness. This kind of warming and nourishing work could be handed over to this spiritual fire to refine.
"Hoo."
He relaxed all at once. Having focused his entire attention on refining spiritual items for nearly two years and using a pill method he had never used before, even with Li Ximing's Zifu body, he felt slightly tired and couldn't help but let out a deep breath.
At the moment, he took out a few nourishing spirit pills and swallowed them to nourish his divine ability. After thirty-six days, his brow flickered slightly, and he suddenly felt something in his heart and opened his eyes.
'Tinglan of the Ziyan Sect has found me.'
Before he came to the East A Wang Sea to seclude himself, he left a jade pendant for Daoist Daoist Houfu, inside which he left a strand of divine ability, and set a meeting at the junction of the two seas. Now that the heavenly light sensed it, someone had already crushed it.
During Foundation Establishment, these kinds of spiritual jade things had to be constantly nourished to be sensed from afar, and they often became invalid after a few years. Now that he had achieved divine ability, with just a light touch, he could sense them for more than ten years, which was much more convenient.
So he used a formation to cover this place, added a warning with divine ability, broke through the Grand Void, and traveled away. First, he observed in the Grand Void. At the junction of the two seas, there was indeed a purple cloud carriage parked, with golden ribbons fluttering. At a glance, one could recognize it as a Ziyan Sect True Person.
He did not rush forward rashly. After investigating that there was no ambush, he transformed into heavenly light and traveled down, appearing in front of the carriage.
A woman stood in front of the carriage, pure and cute. When the heavenly light shone, it was a rabbit demon transformed. Seeing Li Ximing, she bowed repeatedly. Li Ximing had not yet had a chance to speak when he saw the carriage curtain open with a swish. Tinglan was still wearing that autumn-yellow satin robe, looking slightly embarrassed: "Daoist Zhaojing!"
Li Ximing had a narrow escape from death at Senior Chang Xiao's hands, and the loss was certainly not small. It was just that the cause of the matter was Ziyan's arrangement. Although it could only be considered a pretext, Tinglan felt embarrassed because of this. She bowed slightly and said: "It's really been many years since we last met... The Xuan Yue matter has come to an end. Fortunately, Daoist, you are safe and sound, otherwise... I really feel bad in my heart..."
Li Ximing did not have much intention to blame her. This matter could only be his own carelessness, and the Ziyan Sect could not have thought of it. What's more, he gradually understood the domineering origin of the Sun Daoist lineage. How could he have the qualifications to blame Ziyan? He replied:
"This matter... Senior Chang Xiao was unexpected, it cannot be blamed on the Immortal Sect."
He did not want to be conspicuous in this place, and he was also guarding against the medicinal pills in the earth veins not being refined yet. He continued:
"The treasure medicine in the furnace is not yet finished, please Tinglan, temporarily rest in my humble abode."
When Tinglan heard this, she nodded and agreed. The purple cloud carriage immediately headed toward the sea, all the way to the seabed, where white sand rolled. Tinglan put away the carriage and ordered: "Just wait for me here."
The spirit beast promised. Li Ximing operated the 'Yu Gan Shan and Go to Sea Tiger', earth-yellow light covered him, and he took Tinglan deep into the earth veins. Tinglan moved her eyes and said:
"【Xuan Light Move Mountain Great Dao】 still has some skills. Escaping into the earth is not a small matter. This 【Yu Gan Shan and Go to Sea Tiger】 traveling through the earth veins is like an Earth Virtue cultivator, which shows that the Daoist lineage is excellent."
Li Ximing heard the full name of Xuan Yue's Daoist lineage for the first time and doubted: "Tong Xuan Daoist lineage... no wonder it is close to the Xuanmiao Temple."
Tinglan laughed and said: "It cannot be called the Tong Xuan Daoist lineage. Every one of this level of Daoist lineage has its own ins and outs and records. Dou Xuan is still looser, Tong Xuan is the most strict. Su Mian Daoist friend at least has a portrait of the ancestor, Xuan Yue has none at all."
Li Ximing traveled all the way down, thinking of the unspeakable 【Qi Stone Demon Fetus】 that Chang Xi gave to Su Mian, and did not commit himself. Tinglan sighed: "In the Zhu Lu Hai area, the Ziyan Sect's island had an accident, but I checked for a long time, and now it is also very troublesome."
"Hmm?"
Li Ximing asked a sentence. Tinglan's expression was suspicious:
"I thought it was a change in the earth veins, and there was a problem with the underwater fire veins. Who knew that after a friend and I turned around several times, we discovered some traces of Earth Virtue divine ability, so I asked Zhu Gong to look at it. She guessed that a cultivator was breaking through in this place."
Li Ximing frowned and replied:
"In recent years, there are more and more Earth Virtue cultivators..."
In fact, most demonic cultivators could be considered Earth Virtue cultivators, but Li Ximing and others naturally did not count these demonic cultivators as any characters. Mentioning Earth Virtue cultivators, they all referred to figures at the level of Immortal Dao True Persons. Tinglan nodded in approval, her voice sank, and she replied:
"Indeed, and this kind of earth phenomenon is somewhat like 'Xuan Earth', which is the Earth of the Society in the later Society and Country Earth, also known as Society Immortal. I have had a headache for a long time because of this matter, and I have also discussed it with several friends. Their meaning is... the Society Immortal path is the leader of the Immortal Dao, so it is better not to delve into it."
Earth Virtue is mixed. Li Ximing himself had heard of more than six, and he could vaguely glimpse how great the origin of this path was in ancient times. The Society and Country paths were even more famous. Although the Qing Song Sun Daoist lineage was noble, now the backers were either missing or avoiding the world, and perhaps they had to be a head shorter. No wonder she was uneasy in her heart.
Soon they traveled to the cave dwelling. Tinglan's eyes lit up, and she said in surprise: "Good true fire! This is... the true fire of the Three Hou lineage... it is really ancient enough."
Just this one sentence revealed the knowledge of the Qing Song Sun Daoist lineage. Li Ximing nodded gently. His divine ability had long protected the pill furnace, covering it tightly. Tinglan's spiritual sense scanned it, and she smiled:
"Really, the artist is bold. For such a top-level spiritual pill, a Qi Refining pill furnace is enough!"
It was a sentence of poverty. Tinglan spoke beautifully. Li Ximing then said:
"This pill is an inspiration I came across by chance, and it has not been refined yet. Fortunately, it has reached the time for warming and nourishing. The Daoist friend's medicinal pill needs 【No Measure Water Fire】, and it doesn't need this pill furnace, so it doesn't conflict."
When Tinglan heard him finally take the initiative to mention her own medicinal pill, she hugged her hands to her chest and smiled:
"Your family's formation has already hit the Mountain-Piercing Xuan Nail, and I can't even find your shadow. If it weren't for the news from Daoist Daoist Houfu, I'm afraid I would still be working for free for you."
Tinglan's words were jokes, but they were also mixed with some sincerity. Li Ximing apologized repeatedly and replied: "Although it was delayed, it was a blessing in disguise. My pill path cultivation has greatly increased, and refining this furnace of spiritual pills for the Daoist friend has much more certainty."
Tinglan laughed and said solemnly: "It cannot be delayed any longer. I am in a hurry to use this pill, otherwise, considering the Daoist friend's current thoughts, I wouldn't have found the outer sea in one breath."
"Now 【Heavenly One Pure Yuan】 has been brought, and 【No Measure Water Fire】 is also carried on the body. As for the pill furnace..."
Tinglan's already beautiful face was full of solemnity: "Even the spiritual tool 【Xiu Xuan Crossing Scene Furnace】, I have borrowed it for you."
'Such a big battle... This medicinal pill is extraordinary.'
Li Ximing now had great certainty in refining the 【Heavenly One Tianyi Tu Cui Pill】, not to mention the blessing of the pill furnace and the talisman energy. He nodded slightly and replied:
"Then let's choose a place to refine the pill... This furnace of medicinal pills for the Daoist friend needs to refine spiritual items, which is a time-consuming effort. It is better to refine it earlier."
He pondered: "Refining this kind of spiritual pill, it is best to have a suitable treasure land... I don't know if the East A Wang Sea has one."
Li Ximing was a pill master after all. When Tinglan heard this, she pondered. Li Ximing glanced at it and smiled:
"How about this, refining spiritual items is a time-consuming project, fortunately, it is not picky about the territory. I will refine the spirit here first, and the Daoist friend will drive the immortal carriage to search. When I have finished refining the spiritual items, the next step is to form the pill, and then go to the treasure land to refine it."
Tinglan nodded slightly, feeling it was reasonable, but she still kept a heart and replied: "This method is good, and it's not that I don't trust the Daoist friend. 【No Measure Water Fire】 can be left in this place for the Daoist friend to refine by himself, but the pill furnace 【Xiu Xuan Crossing Scene Furnace】 is something borrowed from the Great Xiu Kui Temple and cannot be left here. It can only be replaced by my 【Treasure Elephant Furnace】, which is a Foundation Establishment level magic furnace."
His own 【Heavenly Heart One Intent】 was about to form a pill. Li Ximing's original intention was actually to branch her off. After all, the big medicine of this spiritual medicine was made of spiritual items of the Tai Yin lineage, and the other party was once a subordinate of the Yuan Mansion. He was afraid of being seen through. Who knew that after hearing about this magic furnace, he only muttered in his heart:
'Good, good, good, the pill furnace of a cultivator who doesn't refine pills is better than mine.'
Whether it was the 【Treasure Elephant Furnace】 or the 【Xiu Xuan Crossing Scene Furnace】, they could throw his own 【River Furnace】 ten streets away. He had nothing to mind and smiled: "No problem."
Tinglan then took out a mud pot, which was only the size of a palm, with a smooth surface, carved with many golden-white patterns. She held it in her hand and instructed:
"This 【Upper Phase Pot】 is also a spiritual tool, built by Uncle Zi Luo back then. This portion of 【No Measure Water Fire】 cannot escape or run away. Even if it is lost, it will jump back from the Grand Void."
【No Measure Water Fire】 was, after all, a precious thing. She reminded him secretly, opened the pot lid, and immediately a group of light flames jumped out, with the two-instrument colors of cyan and blue shining, mixed into a group. The spiritual opportunity in the cave dwelling immediately withered, and the 【Three Hou Shu Xuan Fire】 on the side made a buzzing sound, the flames deformed rapidly, and it looked like the medicinal pill was ruined.
Li Ximing caught it lightly, and this 【No Measure Water Fire】 immediately settled down, obediently stopping in his hand. The two colors were stable, turning into a group of mixed colors lying in his hand.
Tinglan was obviously relieved, and the hand that was originally nervously pressed on the pot lid relaxed. She nodded in surprise and said:
"Daoist friend has great skills!"
【No Measure Water Fire】 was originally fierce, and it was refined into a tool, and the root was in this spiritual tool, which could be said to be impossible to refine, only to be borrowed. It added a bit of difficulty to controlling the flames, and Tinglan's repeated reminders earlier were not without reason.
Seeing that Li Ximing was not struggling at the moment, this matter could be said to have succeeded halfway. She was very happy, took out a treasure box from her sleeve, and whispered:
"The spiritual materials for refining the pill are all in the treasure box. Most of them have two copies. The rest are really precious. If it is refined badly, the Daoist friend can adjust it as appropriate."
Li Ximing looked with spiritual sense and was stunned, but he became cautious in his heart: 'This thing is too important to Ziyan. If it is refined, it is naturally good. If it is not refined, it is both embarrassing and offending.'
This female cultivator in autumn-yellow clothes immediately beckoned lightly, and took out a pill furnace from her sleeve that was intertwined with golden-yellow and tooth-white, which was extremely huge, with elephant heads cast on all four sides, and spiritual light flashing. It must be the 【Treasure Elephant Furnace】.
Tinglan transferred this magic tool to his hand, as if unloading a heavy burden. Her tone became lively, and she soon said goodbye and left, retreated a few steps, left the range of 【No Measure Water Fire】, and traveled through the Grand Void.
Li Ximing observed the 【No Measure Water Fire】 in his hand with cyan and blue colors shining, and felt a bit of envy in his heart:
"This spiritual fire was not originally used for refining pills. Holding this kind of spiritual item to fight is simply invincible. No wonder Zi Luo wanted to specially refine this fire into a spiritual tool. When escaping, the spiritual opportunity is cut off. At least the enemy cannot descend from thin air around him. It is even more powerful when ambushing..."
It was not that he couldn't feel the rawness of this flame. With 【Valley Wind Lead Fire】, controlling this flame was easy. This 【Upper Phase Pot】 was cleverly conceived and crafted with ingenuity, giving 【No Measure Water Fire】 a certain degree of autonomy. Even if Tinglan had already left with the spiritual tool, what fell into his hand was still not magic flame, but 【No Measure Water Fire】 itself.
'The handwriting of True Person Zi Luo... calculated by age, he is now extremely old. Whether it is a real disappearance or a fake disappearance, it is hard to say...'
He urged 【No Measure Water Fire】, straightened the 【Treasure Elephant Furnace】, and spiritual items flew up one by one, falling into the furnace.
'Heavenly One Tianyi Tu Cui Pill is a troublesome thing. There is enough time for 【Three Hou Shu Xuan Fire】 to warm and nourish the spiritual pill!'
