"It's time."
When the ancient Buddha appeared in front of Mei Xue's incarnation in the Adorable Classic of Mountains and Seas world, Mei Xue finally opened her eyes in the real world. There was a seed in her hand.
This was the first seed of hope formed by the Book of Mountains and Seas. It was the fruit that Mei Xue had worked hard to expand and cultivate the Book of Mountains and Seas.
However, the things in the Book of Mountains and Seas couldn't directly appear in the world of mountains and seas, so he still needed a medium.
At this time, Mei Xue took out the seeds of Forgetful Words he bought at the Yellow Mountain Immortal Sect's auction house that day. They represented his first love.
For him, what could be more suitable than these little things that represented the starting point of his path as a medicine master?
The seed of hope condensed by the world of Meng Meng's Classic of Mountains and Seas turned into countless light spots and lodged in the seeds of the Forgetful Flower that did not look good. Then, Mei Xue waved her hand and sprinkled them into the Square Winged Cauldron that had refined the auxiliary medicine that had been thrown into it to the most perfect degree.
"Tai Chu, Long Ling, let's begin," Mei Xue smiled and released the two little guys from the Crybaby Alliance.
Tai Chu, who had turned into a white cloud, went into the left cauldron and curiously walked around.
The hesitant Long Ling ran into the right cauldron after a long time. He didn't know what to do as he looked at the boiling medicinal liquid under his feet.
In terms of alchemy assistants, the performance of these two could be said to be completely unqualified.
But it didn't matter, Mei Xue was here.
Mei Xue made a hand seal that no one had ever seen before. Ignoring the puzzled gazes of the people around her, she started to refine her medicine.
"What … what method is that?"
It could be said that Hualian Tian, who was from the Shen Nong lineage, knew all kinds of alchemy techniques. However, he couldn't tell which technique Mei Xue was using.
It was neither the Nine Turns Condensation Method that represented the Supreme Way of the King, nor the other extremely difficult refining methods. Mei Xue simply made a hand seal and began to command the two little fellows to swim around in the Square Winged Cauldron.
Mei Xue didn't have any secret. She just used the special telepathy between Absolute Beginning and Dragon Spirit to let them swim freely in the cauldron.
It could move however it wanted and swim however it wanted. As the Twin Life Medicine Cauldron, the Square Winged Cauldron didn't focus on alchemy techniques. Instead, it focused on the telepathic connection between the two alchemists.
This was the highest secret of using the Dual Winged Square Cauldron.
It was a pity that Liu wasn't here. Otherwise, Mei Xue would have liked to concoct medicine with her. However, whether or not the strange blood-colored jelly that Liu had concocted counted as medicine was still up for debate.
Since Absolute Beginning and the Dragon Spirit were both half-real and half-illusionary existences, the people watching Mei Xue's alchemy could only feel that there was a layer of hazy mist above the Square Winged Cauldron, but they had no idea what was happening inside.
"Cloud Leap Method … No … No …"
"Dual Spirit Convergence Method … No … No …"
Hualian's body was tense as she watched Mei Xue start concocting medicine. The sweat on her forehead was even more than the last turn of the Nine Turns Condensation Method.
This was because she couldn't understand what Mei Xue was doing. She didn't know what kind of medicine Mei Xue was concocting.
This was impossible!
She was a peerless genius from the Shen Nong Clan. She was the chosen one of her ancestors. How could there be a method that she couldn't understand?
"Are you done?" Mei Xue quietly asked Absolute Beginning who was having fun.
"Ah!" What Absolute Beginning meant was that he wanted to keep playing. This game of pinching balls was fun.
"Yah!" The dragon spirit replied shyly before continuing to pinch Qiuqiu.
This was the secret of Mei Xue's concocting method. He sent Absolute Beginning and Dragon Spirit to combine the boiling liquid in the Square Winged Square Cauldron with the seeds of the Forgetful Words Flower, turning them into small green balls.
It was natural that Hualian couldn't understand it. This was a concocting method that Mei Xue had created. It was unique.
The dragonfish in Hualian's hand seemed to sense some kind of threat and became restless.
"It's okay. He can't win." Hualian denied everything that Mei Xue said.
She was holding the Nine Revolution Celestial Spirit Ginseng in her hand, the legend of the Medicine Master!
How could she lose to an opponent who knew how to concoct medicine like that?
That kind of concocting method didn't make sense at all. It was full of flaws.
She was waiting to see Mei Xue make a fool of himself. This kind of concocting method was destined to fail miserably.
"Are you done?
Mei Xue asked again in a low voice. He can't pretend anymore. "
It was exactly the same as what Hua Lian had seen. His hand gestures were simply an act, not worth mentioning at all.
"Ah!" Absolute Beginning happily rolled out small green balls, indicating that he was about to finish his task.
"Yaya!" The Dragon Spirit expressed that her work was also nearing the end. She was an obedient child.
Mei Xue let out a sigh of relief. It was a bit unreliable for him to do this alone. However, it was easy for Absolute Beginning and Dragon Spirit.
Spiritual beings like them, who could communicate with each other through telepathy, were simply born for the twin medicinal cauldrons like the Dual Winged Square Cauldron.
They were born with the wings of a phoenix, but their hearts were connected. They were a match made in heaven.
With such excellent helpers, Mei Xue was better than Hualian.
Not long after that, the clouds and mist dispersed, one after another, green round balls were kicked out from the square-winged cauldron by [The Beginning] and [The Dragon Spirit] with their little feet, landing steadily on Mei Xue's palm.
This was the prototype of the concocting spiritual medicine. It used the Seed of Hope from the Book of Mountains and Seas as its source and the Forgetful Flower seed from the Ocean Mountains as its shape. Finally, it gathered all kinds of gentle spiritual medicines to create the green pearls.
Their name was the Bodhi Fruit, and it contained all of Mei Xue's understanding of the path of medicine.
Of course, just like the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Spirit Ginseng that Hua Lian had just refined, this was only a semi-finished product. The Nine Revolutions Heavenly Spirit Ginseng required heaven-defying nine revolutions of refinement before it could become a perfect spirit medicine. Mei Xue's Bodhi Fruit also required her to personally refine it.
Mei Xue clasped her hands together and placed the eighteen Bodhi Fruits in her palms. Then, she began to meditate.
"Why aren't you moving?
Are you stuck? "
"Hey, what's going on? Has Mei Xue finished refining?"
"Move! Move!
How can you fall down at this moment? "
The onlookers who didn't know the truth had been whetted by Mei Xue. At this time, when they saw Mei Xue, who didn't move at all, they were like ants on a hot pan.
"What's wrong? Is she done?"
The elders who had been watching Mei Xue's refinement process all looked at each other. They had refined spiritual medicines their entire lives, but they had never seen Mei Xue do something like this.
Generally speaking, when a spiritual medicine came out of the cauldron, it represented the result of the refinement process. What was Mei Xue doing?
Only one person in the courtyard was shocked when he saw Mei Xue put her palms together. His entire body trembled.
"Amitabha … This is … This is …" This person was none other than one of the academy's mentors, Master Kuguo.
Others might not be able to tell, but as an eminent Buddhist monk, how could he not be able to tell that what Mei Xue was using now was an extremely profound Buddhist technique. That motionless posture revealed true freedom and great wisdom.
Especially the clear glass-like color that flashed within her eyes, it even had an aura that caused his body and mind to tremble, and he felt as if he'd attained enlightenment.
Buddha has shown himself!
This was Master Kuguo's first thought when he saw those eyes.
From the first time he saw Mei Xue, Master Kuguo knew that this young man was fated to be with Buddhism. However, even he could not imagine that Mei Xue had such a deep connection with Buddhism.
Those pure eyes seemed to shine on all living beings in the world. She spoke of all hardships and spoke of all fates. That was a realm that even he could not comprehend.
This was more than just fated. She was practically a natural-born Buddhist Son!
If they were not in the Blue Dragon College, he would have rushed out right now and taken this natural-born Buddhist Son to the Western Spiritual Mountain to shave and convert to Buddhism.
This impulse could not be suppressed. Master Kuguo looked left and right and began to plan the route he would take with Mei Xue later.
Mei Xue's current state was indeed the same as what Master Kuguo, the senior monk, had sensed. She was in a mysterious state where she was fated to be with Buddhism.
It was the Bodhi of Buddhism that he had sensed when he saved Jian Yin in September. This time, the Great Boundless Wisdom Sword, which had been in a deep sleep after exhausting its power, also woke up. It showed Mei Xue a part of the secret of Buddhism that it had inherited.
That ancient Buddha was the answer to Mei Xue's doubts about the path of a Pharmacist. It was the embodiment of the glazed sunlight.
"When I obtain Bodhi in my next life, my body will be like glaze, clear inside and out, pure and untainted."
"Let all sentient beings cultivate in peace."
"Let all sentient beings be free from all worries."
"Let all sentient beings be free from all worries."
In the Sanskrit chant of Buddhism, Mei Xue flicked her fingers again. The "Bodhi" turned into 18 light spots and flew into the Bodhi fruits in the World of Mountains and Seas.
After completing this task, the Great Boundless Wisdom Sword fell silent again because it had completed its task.
"This is my answer."
Mei Xue opened her eyes and looked at the 18 Bodhi fruits that were glowing with glaze light in her palm. She smiled gently.
It represented his best memories, the crystallization of his understanding of the path of alchemy, and it was being born here.
This wasn't the path of a Pharmacist in the World of Mountains and Seas, but it was his path.
Heart like glaze, clear inside and out, pure and flawless. This was the answer he had found on the path of a Pharmacist. He had handed in his answer sheet for his path.
With the seed of first love as the carrier, the hope of the Book of Mountains and Seas as the source, and the light of Bodhi of Buddhism, the spiritual medicine — Glazed Bodhi Fruit was finally born.
