#110 - Hey! I have to trouble General Yu again!
"Spirit Replenishing Pill."
Xu Chengxian had a hearty meal.
Lingxiao and Ling Yunzi, encouraged by his enthusiasm, also ate a few bites before returning to their cultivation.
Very beautiful.
"Quite a big one."
Good heavens, if a normal person ate this, wouldn't they choke to death?
Perhaps the pills of human cultivators aren't refined to be so large?
"Never mind, I'll eat it first." Xu Chengxian opened his mouth, flicked his tongue, and swallowed the Spirit Replenishing Pill into his belly.
The pill went straight into his abdomen.
He didn't taste anything at all.
After all, the pill was wrapped in spiritual energy, and to prevent the medicinal power from dissipating, a sealing mark was applied during the pill's collection.
So, between the mouth and tongue, he couldn't feel any odor.
He could only feel a bit of coolness passing by, followed by a faint warmth.
It was the taste of spiritual energy and medicinal power entering the body.
"Ah ha!"
Xu Chengxian yawned.
He was already very used to sleeping after eating his fill.
So, he was a little sleepy.
Without the slightest hesitation, he lay down directly.
But he couldn't fall asleep yet.
"System."
[Yes, Host.]
"How do I refine the pill?" he asked.
Was it like eating blood food, waiting for the blood energy to refine on its own?
Or did he need to activate his innate divine power to devour and refine it?
Although intuitively, it should be the latter.
But for the sake of caution, Xu Chengxian still chose to ask.
The system sometimes had answers to his questions, and sometimes it was silent.
But this time there was an answer.
[Please host activate and use the Devouring and Refining Divine Power to refine the Spirit Replenishing Pill.]
"Understood."
Now that he had an accurate answer, he didn't waste any more time, and immediately activated his blood energy to cast his innate divine power—Devouring and Refining!
The blood energy on his body instantly steamed and surged towards the swallowed spiritual pill.
When the blood energy enveloped the spiritual pill and began to refine its medicinal power and spiritual energy, Xu Chengxian's eyelids closed.
He put his head on his tail.
Falling soundly asleep.
With the strength of his divine soul now, using divine powers to stimulate blood energy would no longer affect his sleep.
It even had a sleep-aiding effect.
At the same time, he could still multitask, continuing to study the Greater and Lesser Divine Powers and the Art of Transformation in his mind.
He felt that if he practiced for a little more time, he should be able to... almost be able to directly transform back to his previous size.
As for what to do if he failed?
Just keep practicing!
Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry.
[Congratulations, Host, refining spiritual energy +1+1+1...]
"Mmm!"
Before falling completely asleep, Xu Chengxian heard the system's reminder and sensed that wisps of spiritual energy, mixed with medicinal power, were spreading from his stomach to his lungs, and then to his entire snake body.
Comfortable.
So comfortable that he didn't even want to bother checking what was happening inside his body.
In the next instant, he fell into a dream.
[Blood Energy +1+1+1+1...]
[Physical Realm +3.]
[Blood Energy +1+1+1+1+1...]
...
[Blood Energy +1+1+1+1+1+...]
[Divine Soul Realm +1.]
[Essence Blood Energy +1+1+1+1+1...]
...
[Congratulations, Host, refining Spirit Replenishing Pill *1, total gain: Divine Soul Realm +140, Physical Realm +109, Essence Blood Energy +223!]
Two months later.
Xu Chengxian heard the system's reminder that the Spirit Replenishing Pill had been completely refined.
He opened his eyes.
During this time, he would wake up once every ten days or so.
To eat a meal.
The spiritual energy and medicinal power of the Spirit Replenishing Pill could reduce the frequency of his meals, but it couldn't keep him from eating altogether.
Moreover, since it was his first time refining a pill, Xu Chengxian deliberately slowed down the speed.
"If it were normal, the speed at which a Spirit Replenishing Pill is devoured and refined should be about forty days." He stretched greatly.
Under his flesh, there was a rumbling sound.
This made his body stiffen.
Crap!
It seemed like he had forgotten to practice the Greater and Lesser Divine Power Arts again.
Guiltily releasing his divine sense, he first checked around.
Seeing that Lingxiao was in closed-door cultivation in her cave, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It wasn't that he was afraid of this Empress sister, mainly that he felt a little guilty for promising something he couldn't do.
Just taking advantage of Lingxiao's absence, he quickly sent a divine sense transmission to Ling Yunzi.
"Yunzi, send another Spirit Replenishing Pill to Big Brother!"
In these two months, Ling Yunzi had continuously opened his furnace and refined several batches of pills.
In addition to the Transformation Pill, he also refined the Spirit Replenishing Pill twice.
He had exchanged two pills, sent two pills to General Yu, and should have five pills left on hand.
"Here!"
Before long, Ling Yunzi flew over, threw down a jade bottle, and turned to leave.
"Where are you going?" Xu Chengxian wondered, why was he leaving so quickly?
Not even saying a few more words.
It's true that they could transmit messages with their divine sense, but Big Brother didn't like this attitude!
"Refining pills," Ling Yunzi said, flicking his sleeves.
"Oh."
Then it's alright.
Refining pills is good, refining pills is the main thing.
Big Brother is very happy that Third Brother is working so hard.
Xu Chengxian used blood energy to conjure a palm, taking out the Spirit Replenishing Pill from the jade bottle.
He had eaten a few days ago, so he wasn't hungry now, and felt that he could sleep for a while longer.
It was good to eat the pill and refine it while sleeping.
Killing two birds with one stone.
"This guy Yunzi seems to have improved his cultivation a lot." He tilted his head and swallowed the pill, thinking that it seemed that refining pills was also a means for Ling Yunzi to improve his cultivation.
No wonder he had such an inexhaustible attitude.
In addition, the benefits that the Spirit Replenishing Pill brought to Lingxiao and Ling Yunzi should also be great.
Xu Chengxian could clearly sense that their cultivations were progressing very quickly.
I'm afraid that it wouldn't be long before they crossed another small hurdle.
At most half a year.
"Middle-stage Great Demon? Tsk!" He truly deserved to be a big shot with his own cheat.
"As for me... hiss!" After he finished sighing, just as he was about to assess his own situation, he suddenly felt a familiar, intoxicating feeling spreading.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Good heavens!
Ling Yunzi didn't add anything he shouldn't have added to the Spirit Replenishing Pill, did he?
This feeling was very addictive.
In his nasal cavity, there seemed to be a fresh and slightly sweet scent.
It was like the fragrance of flowers from afar, the freshness of plants and trees, as well as the unique medicinal power of the Spirit Replenishing Pill, and the vigorous spiritual energy contained within.
However, it was already early winter.
Even with the nourishment of spiritual energy, flowers could not bloom, and there was no fragrance of plants and trees.
The few old plum trees and withered grass did not have this scent.
So, it was the medicinal power and spiritual energy of the Spirit Replenishing Pill that caused Xu Chengxian to have a clear illusion.
They intertwined, constantly echoing in his nose, mouth, chest, abdomen, and intestines.
Then, they slowly seeped into every part of his body.
His flesh, and his divine soul.
They were gradually immersed in it.
This was undoubtedly a wonderful experience that one couldn't help but be fascinated by.
So...
[Blood Energy +1+1+1+...]
[Essence Blood Energy +1+1+1...]
...
"Hoo!"
The valley covered in snow.
After Xu Chengxian woke up, he still felt refreshed all over.
When refining the second pill, he was not as cautious as before.
So, in this short nap, he had already refined almost a quarter of it.
The feeling was even better than last time.
"Eh?"
Just as he was about to release his divine sense to call the little demons to deliver food, he sensed that sea monsters from the Endless Sea seemed to have sneaked into the river again.
And probing with his divine sense towards the top of the mountain.
Sure enough, Ling Yunzi's batch of pills was about to be completed.
"Another sea monster who's lost his mind wants to snatch my Dao Lord brother's pills." Xu Chengxian muttered to himself.
But he didn't have the slightest bit of worry, let alone think about going over to help.
He just pretended to sigh and said: "Alas! It seems that I have to trouble General Yu again! How embarrassing!"
Of course.
He still had to go.
Living sea monsters were certainly hateful.
But the sea monsters that were killed were still very good.
At least, very delicious!
