The waves in Yunmeng Lake remain as they are.
People come like this, and people leave like this.
If Su He looked from this perspective, it was just an endless ocean, nothing but fresh water.
Like water flowing eastward, no one knows where it goes.
The space was broken open, and Su He and Ji Feixue came out together. The moist air hit their faces, feeling extremely comfortable.
Yunmeng Lake is connected to Tinghai Lake by Xiangshui, and the water element is close. Staying here will relax your whole body and mind.
"Can you make an elixir?" Ji Feixue asked Su He, who had transformed into a turtle and was soaking in the water. She was stunned by the question.
How could this turtle be able to make elixirs? It has cultivated to this level at the age of Jiazi. It would be rare if it could still make elixirs.
Su He shook his head as a matter of course: "Let alone refining pills, I haven't even eaten a few pills. I always swallow the treasures of heaven and earth directly."
Ji Feixue was silent for a moment, not knowing whether to sympathize or admire.
She casually threw out a cave magic weapon. It landed on the island, grew in the wind, and instantly turned into a small cave covering several acres.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all the necessary facilities, including an alchemy room and an instrument room.
"Qingxin Pills and Bingxin Pills are often used in retreat, and some people also like Qiushuang Pills." Ji Feixue's voice was like a spring: "I didn't bring any pills with me this time, but the ingredients for Qingxin Pills are easy to get. They can be collected in Yunmengze in half a day."
As she spoke, the fox and the toad ran out on their own.
Being a soul beast requires one to have the awareness of being a soul beast. How could the owner possibly let himself do such a trivial matter as picking herbs
In just one hour, the two beasts had returned from collecting herbs. They had a full pile of herbs, enough to refine at least thirty or fifty furnaces.
On Ji Feixue's side, the elixir fire had already been lit, and the incense burner, temperature control, and elixir water were ready.
As she operated, she said to Su He: "In alchemy, the flame, the temperature, the technique... are not the key points."
Su He said that he would stay in seclusion for ten years and learn from him for ten years. Ji Feixue agreed and would do everything meticulously. The lesson had already begun when the two of them landed on Yunmengze.
Su He swam on his back in the water, looking at her with his head tilted.
Ji Feixue continued, "The purpose of all techniques and flames is to 'remove the impurities and retain the essence, and integrate the essence into one'. As long as this can be achieved, the rest does not matter, including the top alchemy techniques and the accurate temperature."
As she spoke, she lightly moved her green jade fingers and a piece of fresh yellow bark flew up. She waved her hand to dry out the moisture and it dried up in an instant.
"Qingxin Pill uses Phellodendron as the main ingredient, retaining its ability to clear dryness, and the rest are considered impurities."
There is no good or bad herb, only useful ones are the essence. If it is not used, even if it has the ability to reach the sky, it is still an impurity. Qingxin Pill only takes the effect of Huangbai to clear dryness, removes other ingredients, and extracts the essence of precious herbs such as Zhimu and Rehmannia, and refines them into Huangbai, and then turns them into pills. After swallowing, you can keep your mind as clear as wind and as calm as water during retreat.
As long as this effect can be achieved, the technique and the Dan fire are not important.
The so-called fire refining and water refining... are just the methods summarized by our predecessors, which are more suitable for removing impurities and retaining essence, and blending medicinal effects.
You can comprehend it, but you don’t have to believe it completely.
Ji Feixue explained each herb to Su He one by one. After she finished, she stepped back and threw the alchemy furnace to Su He: "You try it. During this retreat, you will eat the pills you make."
Su He blinked: "I don't need to take pills during my retreat."
"You need it!" Ji Feixue glanced at him. The peach-red light was about to burst out of his head. How could he concentrate on his retreat
Su He curled his lips, turned over and swam to the shore. He landed beside the alchemy furnace, looked at the densely packed materials beside it, and reviewed Ji Feixue's previous operations in his mind.
The materials were controlled to fly up one by one, and were baked, fried, and deep-fried. The herbs were processed first, and then they were thrown into the furnace one by one.
Ji Feixue explained it clearly, but Su He still obediently controlled the Dan fire and techniques.
He couldn't be as skillful as Ji Feixue in butchering an ox, so he would just do it honestly, and he would never make mistakes if he took it step by step.
Qingxin Pill is basically the most basic medicine, but it needs to be refined to suit Ji Feixue and his realm, and the medicines used are all top-level precious medicines with stronger efficacy.
If an ordinary cultivator swallowed this kind of heart-clearing pill, it would be common for him to die immediately from sedation.
A must-have drug for euthanasia.
From noon to sunset, Su He dared not make any mistakes until the crescent moon rose into the sky. The alchemy furnace shook slightly, making a sound like flowing water.
This is the finished elixir. Different elixirs will have different movements, and the Qingxin Pill is like this.
Extinguish the fire and cool the furnace temperature.
"Wife, I'm going to start the furnace!" Su He's voice was filled with excitement. It was the first time in his life that he was refining an elixir!
Ji Feixue sat cross-legged on the side, eyes slightly closed, not saying a word, as if in a state of meditation.
"Open!" Su He shouted softly, and the lid of the alchemy furnace opened with a bang. A stream of green air turned into a breeze and instantly filled the island.
The fresh air entering the nose is extremely refreshing.
Su He transformed into a human form, waved his hand to blow away the mist, and looked into the alchemy furnace. The furnace was empty, without a single pill.
Su He blinked and looked at Ji Feixue in disbelief.
Ji Feixue opened her eyes, took a breath of green air, and determined the problem with Su He's alchemy. She said, "You used too much force to condense the pill. Instead of forming a pill, the medicine turned into pill gas. Moreover, the essence and impurities of the medicinal materials were not separated. Even if the pill is formed, it is not a pill to purify the mind. Instead, it is easy to disturb the mind and make people become reckless like drunken people."
When she said this, she looked up at Su He and said, "It's the same even after absorbing the Dan Qi. You are not allowed to get close to me within three days."
Su He: “???”
What do you mean
Ji Feixue pointed her halberd at a point, and the green energy on the island was instantly condensed by her, turning into a gas pill that fell into her hand. If this kind of elixir energy was released, half of the beasts in Yunmeng Lake would go crazy - or the kind of calm madness.
"Come again!" Ji Feixue looked at Su He.
Refining equipment is an auxiliary skill for cultivators, but refining pills is a necessary skill that can be used to save lives at critical moments.
Su He licked his lips, waved his hand and another piece of herb flew up, this time in human form.
Perhaps the alchemy technique is the reason why the turtle body cannot be perfectly controlled
The herbs were thrown into the alchemy furnace one by one.
After doing it once, he started again and immediately became proficient in the technique. In just over an hour, the furnace was opened again, and this time there was no elixir energy in the air.
Ten round and smooth pills were left at the bottom of the furnace.
The fragrance is refreshing.
The pill is round and has an elegant color. Although it has no elixir patterns, it is quite standard and can be considered a mid-range product.
Su He was overjoyed. He picked one out, smelled it, opened his mouth and swallowed it. After feeling it for a moment, he sensed nothing. He flicked his finger and a pill flew towards Ji Feixue.
"Wife, try it. It should be right this time!"
Ji Feixue opened her eyes and the pill had already flown into her mouth. Her face changed and she immediately spat out the pill, looking at Su He coldly. Then she waved her hand and a vine sprang out of the cave, one end wrapped around Su He's ankle and the other end tied to a tree outside the cave, instantly hanging him upside down.
He turned around with a cold face and returned to the cave, and the door slammed shut.
Su He was suddenly confused.
He swung in the air like a swing, and shouted, "Hey, hey! Even if you don't practice well, there's no need to punish you..."
As he spoke, his expression changed and he looked up at Xiao Su He in disbelief.
Then his face flushed. The Qingxin Pill was supposed to have the effect of clearing one's mind and reducing desires, right? How could it have a counter-effect
She has achieved a pure heart, but she is far from being asexual. No wonder Ji Feixue changed her face.
Su He cried and apologized.
No sound came from the cave.
"Letter!" Ji Feixue's cold voice came out, and it was impossible to tell her mood.
"Then why are you hanging me?" Su He was surprised! Knowing that he didn't mean it, why bother
"Hang it up, I'm in a good mood."
Su He: “…”
The cool breeze of late autumn night blew on Su He, and the whole world felt cold.
The waning moon shines high in the sky, making the scene seem even more desolate.
Especially the toad and the fox below, not only did they have no sympathy, they even lit a bonfire and took out a Dang Hu to start grilling.
"Sister Frog, with his skills, he can get down with just a slight struggle, right?" The fox asked in a low voice, looking at Su He who was standing in the autumn wind.
Toad rocked the recliner and said meaningfully: "That was tied by Ji Feixue, can he get down easily?"
The little fox is still too young and doesn’t understand men’s hearts!
The fox looked at Su He. The guy's time in human form had expired. He had turned into a peacock without knowing when, and was still hanging upside down - turtles cannot hang upside down because their claws are too thick and the rope will break the moment they transform.
The peacock's legs are about the same thickness as human legs, just right!
The peacock spread its wings, looking like it was about to die, and was swinging back and forth on the tree.
"Wife, are you asleep?" Su He shouted towards the cave.
Ji Feixue had been inside for most of the day, but there was no sound, and no one knew what she was doing inside. The cave had good defenses, and Su He's spiritual sense could not penetrate it.
"Wife, come out and look at the stars! The moon is small tonight, the autumn weather is clear and the stars are twinkling." Su He flapped his wings, flew back and forth leisurely, looking at the sky full of stars.
Ji Feixue was silent.
"How about I sing a song for you?" Su He said, and then he howled at the top of his voice: "Who hasn't missed the sound of the drums announcing the night watch..."
Inside the cave, Ji Feixue's face darkened.
This stupid turtle was indeed affected by the Dan Qi.
She looked at the new pill Su He had made, her expression changing again and again. Was it because this tortoise pill was not skilled enough and made it wrong? Or was it because he was influenced by the pill energy and was bold enough to make it specially
This elixir can clear the mind and increase desire. If you practice dual cultivation in seclusion, it is a rare and high-quality elixir.
That guy really didn't mean it
Listening to the ghosts howling outside, Ji Feixue's face flashed with anger: "Shut up! If you howl again, I will kill you!"
The howling suddenly stopped. Su He blinked and was stunned for a long time.
He whispered, "Wife, actually... you can't beat me!"
Really, when they first reached the third level of Kaitian, their cultivation levels were similar. Gui Wangshan and his party all made progress, but later Su He’s Xuanwu advanced and developed a human body. Ji Feixue was no match for him.
Ji Feixue's voice came from the cave: "Really?"
Then a cold fairy came out with a sword in hand. She was dressed in white, outlining her perfect figure, but she was as cold as frost and snow, and her sword energy was raging.
Su He was stunned for a moment.
Ji Feixue actually changed back into women's clothes, which were elegant and frosty. Although her temperament was completely different, at this moment, the cold and aloof woman in front of her was somewhat similar to the enchanting woman in red in later generations.
Su He didn’t know if it was the effect of the elixir, but his heart was pounding.
Su He's eyes fell on the sword's blade. They were going to fight. It seemed like they were serious! He shrank his neck slightly: "My mother said that men who beat their wives are not good men."
Ji Feixue looked at him coldly, the sword still shining: "Your mother in this life was an unintelligent tortoise, and in your previous life you were an orphan."
From where did a mother appear
Su He was silent for a while. "Have you forgotten Yun Li?" He let the vines hang on him and dangled. After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Aren't you glad that you don't have to experience the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?"
Ji Feixue was startled, then her face turned cold, and she pointed her sword at Su He: "Come down!"
Su He blinked: "I don't!"
Ji Feixue's expression became even colder: "Come down!"
"I won't! Whoever hangs me, let me down..."
A man and a bird confronted each other under the moon.
The toad and fox beside them looked at each other and whispered, "Sister Frog, they have both been affected by the Dan Qi, right? Let's just wait and see. When they recover tomorrow, will you kill the beasts to silence them?"
The toad thought about it, quietly carried his small lounge chair on his back, and quietly went into the Yunmeng Lake with the fox.
"Then don't watch it!"
Looking at the shameless Peacock opposite, Ji Feixue took a long breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. She was not angry at Su He for making trouble, but at herself.
After hearing what Su He said, she suddenly realized that she had unknowingly put herself in his wife's shoes.
Without my mother-in-law, I breathed a sigh of relief...
This is not right! She has nothing to do with him!
Ji Feixue cut the rope tied to Su He's feet with a sword and turned back to the cave.
"From now on, you are not allowed to call me wife!"
Su He fluttered his wings and jumped up, following closely behind her: "Okay, my lady!"
Ji Feixue suddenly turned back and stared at him.
Su He looked back, then lowered his head slightly: "If not calling me wife, what should I call you? Ever since we met, I have been calling you wife..."
Ji Feixue frowned slightly.
Su He said in a very light voice: "I can only stay here for ten years. After ten years, I will steal the finger bones and it will be my time. You will be waiting for me to save you there... I can never come back to the time I have been to..."
His voice was very light and gentle.
Ji Feixue's heart trembled inexplicably. She fought lightly with the sword she held. She was stunned for a moment, her eyes were a little vague, and she didn't say anything. She sat cross-legged on the futon again and slowly closed her eyes.
There was a furnace in front of her with a roaring fire. Looking at the materials next to it, it was also a furnace of Qingxin Pills.
Su He transformed into the form of a black tortoise, followed her, and lay down quietly, with his snake body coiled around the tortoise shell. The tortoise body curled up quietly, watching Ji Feixue making the elixir and watching her start the furnace.
A furnace of heart-clearing pills, the aroma of the pills wafting into the air.
Ji Feixue picked up a pill and put it into her mouth. Then she flicked her finger and another pill fell into Su He's mouth.
The pill was boiling hot, but when it turned into liquid it was cool and refreshing. It went from the root of the tongue into the heart and lungs, instantly nourishing the whole body, even clearing up Xiudou's mind.
But Su He still didn't move. He just lay on the ground and looked at Ji Feixue quietly.
Ji Feixue swallowed the pill and slowly closed her eyes, as if she was immersed in spiritual practice. After a while, she suddenly asked, "What's the situation with the daughter you mentioned?"
"Yaya?" Su He laughed: "Yaya is a troublemaker..." (End of this chapter)
