After drinking a cup, Fu Jiu said vaguely, "You're quite good at farming. What do you want to do here?"
Yun Shisan said, "Of course we're here to hone our combat strength. We just came out of that corner and don't have enough combat experience. Come on, let's drink!"
Yun Shisan picked up the wine bottle and thought to himself, "Since you want to use drinking to get information from me, then I'll get you drunk first."
Fu Jiu had just finished a bottle. He picked up his chopsticks and was about to pick up a piece of roe deer meat to smooth out the alcohol, but before he could pick up the meat, Yun Shisan raised the wine bottle again.
Fu Jiu had to put down his chopsticks and raise the wine bottle. He thought to himself, "I don't believe that I can't get you drunk. Who would believe that you came out of a corner?"
Fu Jiu was in high spirits, and the two continued to drink. Yun Shisan said, "Brother, your alcohol tolerance is really like a vast ocean. Come on, let's continue drinking. We brothers have hit it off at first sight today. Whoever is standing in the end will be the big brother."
Fu Jiu's eyes were a little hesitant. He was still a little worried about Yun Shisan and the others. He thought to himself, "At this critical moment, these people appeared. I don't want to ruin my business. I have to figure out their purpose first."
Thinking of this, Fu Jiu immediately put the wine bottle aside, picked up the wine jar and said, "Okay, let's use this. Whoever is standing will be the big brother."
However, before he finished the jar of wine, Fu Jiu's eyes were blurred and his body was shaking. It seemed that he couldn't even sit still.
Yun Shisan saw that it was about time and said, "Brother, you've lost!"
"You're the brother. I haven't fallen yet." Fu Jiu shook his head and picked up the wine jar again, but he didn't hold it firmly and fell to the ground.
"Clang ~"
The wine jar was smashed to pieces, and Fu Jiu suddenly fell on the table. Yun Shisan said, "Brother, what did you do before?
Why are you in such a mess? "
Fu Jiu said in a daze, "Just now, I went deep into the forest and was chased by an iron-armored dragon!"
Yun Shisan continued to ask, "Why did you go deep into the forest?"
"There's a Wisteria Gourd in there. I've stayed here for more than 10 years just to wait for that Wisteria Gourd to mature. It'll be ready in half a month. Brother, you're still my brother. If you're my brother, I'll give you two Wisteria Gourds!"
"How many Wisteria Gourds are there?"
"There are nine in total. I can't take it anymore. I'm going to sleep." Fu Jiu said and fell asleep on the table.
When Yun Shisan found Mo Wanqing, he discovered that she was currently standing in front of a large furnace. There was even a small flame burning in the furnace. Although this flame wasn't big, it was extremely hot.
He looked curiously at the golden-red flame and asked, "What kind of flame is this?
I feel that it's several times stronger than ordinary flames! "
Mo Wanqing explained, "This is Pill Fire. If you want to refine pills, you must have Pill Fire!"
"Alchemic fire?"
"That's right. Pill Fire is cultivated using large amounts of spiritual herbs. It's easier to cultivate Pill Fire if you have a Fire Attribute Spiritual Root. You can directly use fire spiritual energy and spiritual herbs to cultivate it!"
"Only cultivators with Fire Attribute Spiritual Roots can become Alchemists?"
"If you don't have a Fire Attribute Spiritual Root and want to become an Alchemist, then you can only use ordinary flames to cultivate it. However, the amount of spiritual herbs required would also be several times more. In the end, you might not even be able to subdue the Pill Fire.
Therefore, people without a Fire Attribute Spiritual Root generally wouldn't choose to become an Alchemist. The effects of refining pills wouldn't be as good as cultivators with a Fire Attribute Spiritual Root. "
Yun Shisan nodded, indicating that he understood. His heart moved, and he said, "I have a Five Elements Spiritual Root. Do you think I can become an Alchemist?
I can also become a Tool Refiner! "
"You can, but I don't recommend you to learn it now. Whether it's refining pills or tools, they're both very exhausting and time-consuming. Wait until you're free to learn them. Everything should be focused on cultivation!"
Mo Wanqing controlled the Pill Fire to nourish the Pill Furnace. A cluster of flames slowly spread out under her control, covering the entire interior of the Pill Furnace.
Yun Shisan nodded and said, "That's right, Wanqing, have you heard of the Wisteria Gourd?"
Mo Wanqing looked at Yun Shisan in astonishment and said, "The Wisteria Gourd is a Natural Spiritual Root. With a little refining, it can become a High Grade Spirit Treasure. It might even become a Supreme Grade Spirit Treasure. Why are you asking?"
"Is it a Dharma Treasure?"
Mo Wanqing explained, "It's a type of Dharma Treasure. Its grade is similar to a Spirit Treasure. However, many people prefer to call it a Spirit Treasure. Nowadays, no one distinguishes between Dharma Treasures and Spirit Treasures. Actually, Dharma Treasures and Spirit Treasures are a bit different. Dharma Treasures have an additional characteristic …"
In Mo Wanqing's explanation, Dharma Treasures all had a special characteristic. They could change their size and length at will. This was something that cultivators yearned for even in their dreams. Dharma Treasures were easy to carry and didn't need to be stored in storage equipment. It was very convenient during battle.
Another point was that Dharma Treasures had their own divine abilities. Spirit Treasures might not be able to change their size and length at will. However, one thing was certain, Spirit Treasures didn't have divine abilities attached to them.
In the cultivation world, whether it was Dharma Treasures, Spirit Treasures, or Spirit Treasures, they could recognize their masters. However, they couldn't be stored inside the body. The human body had no leaks. Aside from things used to build a foundation, it couldn't contain anything else!
Thus, many people would put things inside storage rings. However, it was very inconvenient to put things inside storage rings in the face of a sudden battle.
If there was something like a Dharma Treasure, then it could be directly shrunk and carried on the body. This way, if there was a sudden change, it could be used at the first moment.
Yun Shisan thought about the Wisteria Gourd that Fu Jiu mentioned. Moreover, there were nine of them. His eyes couldn't help but light up as he said, "Fu Jiu has the whereabouts of the Wisteria Gourd. He's guarding this place for the Wisteria Gourd. When the time comes, I'll think of a way to get a few from him!"
"You tricked him into talking?"
Mo Wanqing was a bit surprised and said, "You actually believed what he said when he was drunk?"
Yun Shisan smiled and said, "Of course I did. Drunk people speak the truth. Why wouldn't I believe him?"
Yun Caiyue's eyes also flashed after hearing this. She excitedly said, "Brother, there are nine Wisteria Gourds. When the time comes, we'll each have one, but will he give it to us?"
"I'm afraid this will be a bit difficult!" Yun Shisan shook his head. Who would give away such a good thing to someone else?
He then continued, "However, he's not the only one eyeing such a good thing. Even a few Spirit Beasts are eyeing it. They might even be stronger than Fu Jiu. It would be good if he could get one or two. If we want them, then we'll have to think of a way ourselves!"
Mo Wanqing lowered her head in contemplation. She looked at him and said, "With your elusive methods, not to mention many, it shouldn't be a problem for you to steal two."
"We'll see. Before that, we need to know where the Wisteria Gourd is. He said it was in the depths of the forest, but I feel like something's wrong. Fu Jiu wasn't telling the truth."
Yun Caiyue immediately understood. She stared at Yun Shisan and said, "You mean Fu Jiu set a trap for us?"
"He wouldn't go so far as to set a trap, but he should be probing!"
Yun Shisan could feel that Fu Jiu's words were true. The Wisteria Gourd was real, but the location wasn't right.
Mo Wanqing said, "He probably won't harm us. Since he revealed this kind of information, he probably wants to cooperate. However, we still need to take precautions. You guys should rest first. We still need to continue training tomorrow. I'm going to refine pills!"
Yun Shisan nodded and gave all the Heavenly Spirit Fruits to Mo Wanqing. Then he sat down cross-legged to cultivate.
The Spirit Condensation Realm was a process of condensing spiritual energy. It used a large amount of spiritual energy to compress and condense it. He didn't know what was going on with others, but Yun Shisan only needed to condense the illusory images of the eight doors to enter the next realm.
Waves of spiritual energy gathered toward the cave. All of this spiritual energy swarmed toward him, forming a spiritual energy vortex above his head.
Waves of spiritual energy poured into the eight doors and continued to compress. The illusory world within the eight doors also continued to condense.
His cultivation completely absorbed the already thin spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making it impossible for others to cultivate.
Fu Jiu, who was lying on the table, suddenly raised his head when he felt the flow of spiritual energy. He looked at the cave Yun Shisan was in and his eyes lit up.
"What kind of cultivation technique is this brat cultivating?
He's actually absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth like this. Wait, isn't he a body cultivator? "
"These people are a bit mysterious. Who cares? As long as they weren't sent by that person to get close to me, it's fine. I'll just believe that you guys came from some random corner."
Fu Jiu shook his head and glanced at the cave Yun Shisan was in. His head sank and he continued to lie on the table and sleep.
Yun Shisan was cultivating, so Yun Caiyue and the others were unable to cultivate. Fang Zizhou and Yun Caiqi simply went to sleep. Yun Caiyue, on the other hand, was circling around the pill furnace.
Yun Caiyue circled around a few times and said, "I've never seen how to refine pills. This is the perfect time to watch sister-in-law refine pills!"
Mo Wanqing said softly, "Actually, refining pills isn't difficult. It's just that the conditions to become an alchemist are a bit harsh. Refining pills is also a complicated process."
Yun Caiyue saw the raging flames inside the pill furnace and couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, how long does this furnace have to burn for?"
Mo Wanqing said, "It has to be burned until the inside is completely red. Only then will the furnace be warmed up. At that time, you can truly begin refining pills!"
"Why do you have to make the furnace red?"
Yun Caiyue had never seen alchemy in her previous life in the Qinglian School. Everything she saw now was strange.
Mo Wanqing patiently explained, "This is called a warm furnace. A cold furnace can't be used to refine pills. Before refining pills, the furnace must be warmed up so that the temperature of the entire furnace becomes uniform. This way, the alchemist's ability can be better displayed."
"Right now, the furnace is almost completely burned!" Mo Wanqing looked at the red walls of the pill furnace and reduced the flames.
Then, she formed a set of complicated hand seals into the pill furnace. This was a common fire control technique used by alchemists. After doing all this, she threw stalk after stalk of spirit herbs into the pill furnace.
Poria Cocos, Hundred Leaf Grass, Tranquil Spirit Grass, Spirit Ginseng, Spirit Enlightening Grass, Rainbow Profound Spirit Flower, Eight Roots Returning Spirit Fruit …
Mo Wanqing added fifty-three supplementary ingredients in an orderly manner. Then, she controlled her alchemic fire to extract the essences of these spirit herbs, removing the impurities and preserving the essence. However, this was also an extremely slow process.
"Sister-in-law, why didn't you put in the Heavenly Spirit Fruit?" Yun Caiyue saw that Mo Wanqing didn't put in the Heavenly Spirit Fruit and thought that she forgot.
Mo Wanqing smiled and said, "That's the main ingredient. I'll put it in last. Right now, I'll extract the essence of these spirit herbs."
