Even those in the Medicine King Valley who claim to make a living from refining medicines probably donât have the same level of expertise as Xia Ningshang.
"What kind of constitution does Senior Sister have?" Yang Kai turned his head and asked.
Meng Wuya said in a deep voice, "Medicine Spirit Saint Body!"
"Is it related to refining medicines?"
"Exactly." Meng Wuya nodded, "This constitution is very special, and it might not appear even once in a thousand years. A person with the Medicine Spirit Saint Body will not suffer any side effects from taking any pills. You should know that all medicines are somewhat toxic, although there are now many pills that can aid cultivation and even greatly increase oneâs strength. However, there is a limit to the number of pills a person can take. The Medicine Spirit Saint Body is different. It can be said that the Medicine Spirit Saint Body is the best medicine furnace in the world. Any harmful substances in the pills can be refined away. Your Senior Sister has only been cultivating for five years, and she has already reached the peak of the Lihuo Realm. If I hadnât deliberately suppressed her cultivation, she would have already advanced to the Zhenyuan Realm by now."
Yang Kai was shocked. In just five years, she had reached the peak of the Lihuo Realm. Jie Hongchen was also at this realm, but how long had he been cultivating? At least a dozen years. And this was after being suppressed. If she hadnât been suppressed, wouldnât she be even more powerful than Su Yan?
Yang Kai felt ashamed. Compared to this Senior Sister, his own talent was like the earth to the sky.
This one before him was the greatest genius of the Lingxiao Pavilion!
However, Senior Sister Xiaâs rapid growth was closely related to the large amount of spiritual medicines she had consumed.
Meng Wuya continued, "The Medicine Spirit Saint Body has more benefits than just these. If one cultivates the divine technique that matches it, any object in the world with energy can be refined into a pill. Even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can be refined into a pill if the disciple wishes."
Any object in the world with energy can be refined into a pill! If even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can be refined, the Three Yang Fruit would naturally be no problem.
Yang Kai could almost foresee that this Senior Sister Xia would definitely become the best alchemist in the world. With this unique constitution, no one could compare to her.
"This time, Ningshang needs to advance to the Zhenyuan Realm, but before that, she needs to refine something into her body, which she canât obtain on her own." Meng Wuya looked at Yang Kai seriously.
"So you need my help?" Yang Kai asked.
Meng Wuya nodded.
"What kind of thing?"
"Nine Yin Essence Dew. This thing is very beneficial for refining true essence. If I hadnât wanted Ningshang to refine this, I wouldnât have suppressed her realm."
When advancing from the Lihuo Realm to the Zhenyuan Realm, the yuan qi in the body transforms into true essence, which is of much higher quality. This is a process every martial artist goes through. However, if some rare treasures are used during this process, the quality of the true essence will be even better.
This Nine Yin Essence Dew is clearly such a rare treasure, and it is undoubtedly the best.
"The Nine Yin Essence Dew has its own spirit, making it very difficult to obtain. If someone who doesnât meet the conditions touches it, it will immediately turn into spiritual energy and disappear. Only someone who cultivates yang attribute yuan qi has a chance to control it, and the yang attribute yuan qi in their body must be pure enough. Thatâs why I chose you."
"What exactly do I need to do?" Yang Kai asked.
Meng Wuya became impatient, "Why so many questions? Iâll tell you when the time comes."
Yang Kai pinched his nose, not knowing why the old man was so angry.
"Where is this thing? When do we set out?"
"Itâs in the Black Wind Mountain. There is a place where nine yin energies converge. On the seventh day of the seventh month, yin energy gathers, and only at that time does the Nine Yin Essence Dew appear, absorbing the yin energy of heaven and earth."
"Thereâs not much time left." Yang Kai calculated and found that there were only a dozen days until the seventh day of the seventh month. If they needed to go deep into the Black Wind Mountain, it would take a lot of time on the journey.
"So if you have nothing else, I want to set out as soon as possible. If we miss this opportunity, weâll have to wait another year." Meng Wuya said seriously.
"Iâm ready whenever you are." Yang Kai smiled slightly.
"Then come to the Contribution Hall in two days. I need to prepare some materials." Meng Wuya reminded him.
"Alright, letâs settle it that way."
They agreed to meet at the Contribution Hall in two days, and Yang Kai left.
Watching his back, Meng Wuya sighed softly, his expression strange, as if he was thinking about something. After a long while, he said, "Disciple, are you sure you want to do this?"
Xia Ningshang nodded lightly, "Yes."
Meng Wuya said, "Actually, you can advance to the Zhenyuan Realm without refining the Nine Yin Essence Dew, but your future strength will be slightly lower."
Xia Ningshang laughed lightly, "But to help Master, isnât it better to have purer true essence? Master saved and raised me, and I want to help Master."
"But... sigh, why donât you think about it more?"
The reason Meng Wuya left two days was to give Xia Ningshang more time to think.
Xia Ningshang blushed, "Itâs fine, I donât dislike him."
Meng Wuya sighed deeply, "This kid is getting a good deal."
Thinking of Yang Kaiâs indifferent expression, Meng Wuya felt a deep resentment. You just think youâre helping, but you donât realize how much youâre benefiting.
I hope nothing happens between them! This small place is ultimately not a place for my disciple to stay. Meng Wuya was deeply worried and full of anxiety.
Yang Kai didnât go to Su Yanâs small pavilion again but returned to his small wooden house, which he hadnât visited for several days. Although he hadnât been back for a few days, the small wooden house was still as clean as new, without a speck of dust. He didnât know who had been cleaning for him.
Although Meng Wuya was vague, Yang Kai basically knew where he was going and what he needed to do.
Since itâs a place where nine yin energies converge, it must be heavily yin. His true yang yuan qi is the bane of yin energy, so heâs not afraid. However, his current strength is a bit low, and if he doesnât store some yang liquid, he might not be able to last long.
Fortunately, Senior Sister Xia had refined all the Three Yang Fruits into pills for him, which is a good way to replenish yang liquid.
There were four Three Yang Fruit trees, and each tree had three fruits, making a total of twelve bright red pills. If each pill could refine three drops of yang liquid, he would get thirty-six drops of yang liquid.
These yang liquids would be very useful in battles or resisting yin energy, and they were essential for his survival.
Yang Kai spent a whole day absorbing the effects of the twelve pills.
The yang liquid he obtained was not just thirty-six drops but a full forty drops. Adding the few drops already in his dantian, his reserves were now quite substantial.
With this, he finally had some capital for the journey.
Not only did he gain so much yang liquid, but after the last fruit was refined, Yang Kai found that his realm had broken through to the fourth layer of the Kaiyuan Realm.
This breakthrough was completely unexpected, with no mental preparation. It was so natural that he didnât even feel anything.
After some thought, Yang Kai believed it was related to the pills he had taken over the past few days. He had taken dozens of bottles of pills from Su Yan and then twelve Three Yang Pills. The massive amount of energy accumulated made the breakthrough unsurprising.
