Chapter 729 - Pill Cauldron is Hard to Find
Edited by Ea
Yan Tianhen explained simply and comprehensively: “The pure Yin constitution is akin to a training ground that can stabilize their cultivation base. After intercourse, the pure Yin constitution holder’s Yin Qi essence blood can provide a membrane to protect the evil Qi in their body and help stabilize their cultivation.”
Yan Huaizhen smashed his fist on the table in front of him, smashing it to several pieces, and cursed secretly, “That bastard, I was wondering why he had an eye on me. He was thinking about my pure Yin constitution!”
The fact that Yan Huaizhen had a pure Yin constitution wasn’t a secret in the Yan family, but his pure Yin constitution was very different from the body of someone with a furnace constitution. Therefore, few people had any thoughts about using him over the years. Unexpectedly, he was targeted because of his physique.
Yan Tianhen turned his eyes a few times when he heard this. “If Uncle is cruel enough to use secret schemes against Tu Feng, you can force him to expose his cultivation and seriously injure him. It’s just that Tu Feng will inevitably be alerted to your plans as well. He will probably also show his claws and teeth.”
“Oh, I haven’t been able to stand him for a long time.” Yan Huaizhen gnashed his teeth with resentment. “There are no feelings between us; only benefits. The Northern Liang City and the border army are indeed mine in name, but in fact, Han Su is his, and the army is also his. He sends people to monitor my every move. Every decision I make has to be approved by him, but I still have to serve him on the bed. I’ve had enough of this already!”
It’s really a pity to share the same bed with different goals. Yan Huaizhen often told himself to bear it some more. When he ascended to the highest position, he would have the world and kick Tu Feng, never to be in his control again. However, the more the situation developed, the more he couldn’t bear it. Whenever he thought about how the person he had sex with wasn’t actually a person, Yan Huaizhen felt sick and disgusted.
Yan Huaizhen said: “I’ll look for the Spirit Gathering Pill right now.”
The sooner he gave Tu Feng a heavy blow, the sooner he would be liberated.
Yan Zhonghua frowned. “This matter is not urgent. It needs to be discussed in the long run.”
Yan Huaizhen stared at Yan Zhonghua. “Elder Brother, I can’t endure even one more day.”
Yan Zhonghua replied, “We always have to find a foolproof way. Besides, if his cultivation really is stronger than what we estimated, even if you take the Spirit Gathering Pill and inflict heavy damage on him, your life will be in danger if we still aren’t his match, even after giving him serious injuries.”
Yan Huaizhen bit his teeth. “Then what do you want me to do? Let him humiliate me and use me?”
Yan Tianhen suggested, “Well, why don’t you go back first? I will refine the Spirit Gathering Pill to a higher level as much as possible. During this time, let me ponder over the Spirit Gathering Pill’s refinement method. If the pill is refined well, it will have greater effect and greater lethality on Tu Feng. “
Yan Huaizhen was very reluctant, but on the one hand, he was not sure that he could inflict a fatal blow on Tu Feng. On the other hand, the Spirit Gathering Pill was not an easy pill to find, and this pill was too sensitive to an evil Qi cultivator. If he sent someone to find it, he’s afraid it would attract Tu Feng’s attention. The gain wasn’t worth the loss.
Yan Huaizhen had to wait for Yan Tianhen to give him results. Tu Feng went to the northern border and would come back in half a day at most.
There were many people watching Yan Huaizhen’s every move. He didn’t dare to stay here for too long. After doing business, he snuck back into the palace through the back door.
Yan Zhonghua was heartbroken when seeing this.
However, Feng Jingyu was unsympathetic. “He brought this on himself. No one else is to blame for this. He’s nothing good either, to actually scheme Ling Chigu like that. Serves him right that he also fell to someone else’s schemes.”
After that, he frowned again and said, “Ling Chigu is still staying with that terrifying person. I can’t rest assured. Maybe we can tell Ling Chigu to find a chance to sneak away?”
Yan Tianhen said, “You’ll have to discuss with Ah Gu, but I don’t think he will leave easily.”
Feng Jingyu cursed Yan Huaizhen again.
You Ming touched his chin, “Your brother really impressed me. I thought he dared to take the risk and continue to get involved with that Tu Feng guy. I didn’t expect he was still a smart man and made a decision so soon. Tut Tut. At the very least, they still slept together. But Yan Huaizhen really is cruel enough to get rid of him.”
Yan Zhonghua said, “Since I was a child, my father told us that if you are not of our race, your heart will be different. Plus, Ah Zhen values his life. Although Ah Zhen was not very likable in character and likes to use others by nature, he cares the most about his own life. Moreover, he especially hates being controlled by others, so it’s only to be expected that he came to us for help.”
You Ming sighed and turned to Yan Tianhen. “How do you know these strange things about evil Qi cultivators? After discussing with your father, we decided not to ask for the time being, but you must talk to us about evil Qi cultivators’ weaknesses and how to deal with them.”
Yan Tianhen was grateful and hurriedly said, “I’ve already told you a lot about evil Qi cultivators before. The methods to eliminate evil spirits are basically the same. But I’ve never seen someone who cultivated the body with evil Qi either. The Spirit Gathering Pill should be one of the best ways to hurt him, but if you want to refine an excellent Spirit Gathering Pill, you must first find a pill furnace that can refine the Spirit Gathering Pill.”
An excellent pill naturally needed to be refined using a high-quality pill furnace.
When Yan Tianhen was a disciple of Spirit Sect in his previous life, he was a good hand in alchemy. Now that his memory had returned and his cultivation had improved, his alchemy techniques were naturally not a big problem. As long as the materials were fully prepared, everything would be good.
Ordinary Spirit Gathering Pills had no effect on Tu Feng. Yan Tianhen had to refine a Spirit Gathering Pill that could easily gather all the spiritual Qi in a whole city.
“The materials are easy to find, but the pill cauldron is hard to find.” You Ming frowned slightly. “It’s said that the best cauldron in the Nine Lands is in the hands of Yi Buxun, but Yi Buxun has not been seen for many years, and no one knows where he is.”
Lin Xuanzhi responded, “Elder Yi Buxun has fallen, and now his cauldron is in the hands of his daughter-in-law.”
“His daughter-in-law?” You Ming was stunned and asked, “Who?”
Lin Xuanzhi looked at Yan Zhonghua, then answered, “The South Sovereign. Shuiyun Nichang.”
You Ming: “...”
Yan Zhonghua: “...”
You Ming smiled with cold eyes and said to Yan Zhonghua, “Since that’s the case, it’s easy. Shuiyun Nichang is your old lover. If you ask to borrow it, it would be easy to borrow it.”
Yan Zhonghua’s lips twitched slightly, and he asked Lin Xuanzhi, “Are you sure?”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “Of course, perhaps Reincarnation Palace can’t do other things, but the information source is reliable.”
Yan Zhonghua felt a little helpless. Looking at You Ming, who had begun to drink vinegar and get angry, he said placatingly, “Shuiyun Nichang is now far away in the south. If we find her, it will take many days. We might as well settle for the second best pill cauldron.”
“The second best pill cauldron should also be okay.” Lin Xuanzhi added, “The second ranked cauldron, named Mirror Heaven, is also in the hands of a great power in the South Land. However, the whereabouts of that great power is difficult to find. I’m afraid it’s more reliable to find the Illuminating Sky Cauldron.”
You Ming: “Hehe, it seems that this fate is destined by the heavens. You can’t even hide from it.”
Yan Zhonghua: “....”
Yan Zhonghua squinted at Lin Xuanzhi. “Your crafting technique seems good. Why not refine one yourself?”
Lin Xuanzhi: “Even if I personally refine a pill cauldron that can be the same quality as the Illuminating Sky Cauldron, on the one hand, the materials need to be fully prepared. On the other hand, new pill cauldrons are different from old ones. Old cauldrons already have medicinal aura and pill fragrance in them from making previous pills. Therefore, the pill success rate and grade of the pill will naturally be higher. Lastly, those heaven-defying pill cauldrons must be refined for decades, up to a hundred or even a thousand years. I can afford to wait, but I don’t know if the Nine Lands can afford to wait.”
Yan Tianhen said, “Then, we have to pay a visit to the South Land.”
You Ming first snorted, then sneered. “Then let’s go. I’ve long wanted to meet Shuiyun Nichang, that little girl.”
Yan Zhonghua felt helpless. He raised his hand to rub You Ming’s head in a pampering manner.
Feng Jingyu said, “I won’t go with you. I’ll wait here to meet Ling Chigu. I’ll be your eye here and pass the news.”
“That’s good too.” Yan Zhonghua said, “Keep an eye on Ah Zhen. If he can’t wait and wants to act in advance, you must stop him.”
Feng Jingyu snorted and muttered, “I hope he will explode himself and ascend to heaven on the spot.”
Yan Tianhen: “Forget it, he’s miserable enough. Let him go for a while. What’s more, isn’t such a simple and easy death too good for him?”
Feng Jingyu thought for a while and felt it was very reasonable. He reluctantly said, “Okay, after he has survived this disaster, I’ll teach him a good lesson and let him see my power.”
Yan Zhonghua: “...”
The four of them soon set out on the road and flew straight to the south. Because this road straddled the north and south ends of the whole Nine Lands, the journey took a long time. Therefore, when they passed by the North Land’s capital, Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen made a special trip to meet the Dragon Emperor and the East Sovereign and Empress, who still hadn’t left yet, and told them about Tu Feng in order to let the Longyao family prepare privately first.
In fact, there was no particularly good way to deal with an evil Qi cultivator, but the 《Evil Creatures Survival Manual》 compiled by Lin Xuanzhi had already been distributed inside the city. Almost every household had one. The book contained life-saving methods such as how to identify evil creatures, where to attack after encountering evil creatures, how to hide their whereabouts from evil creatures, and so on.
But if you really don’t have a high enough cultivation and encounter a large number of evil creatures, you can only pray.
Lin Zhan patted his head when he heard the term “cultivating the body with evil Qi”. He said, “I always think I’ve seen this name somewhere, but I can’t remember it for the time being. When I go back to the East Land, I’ll bring over the divine scripts I copied and find out if there’s anything for reference and give you an answer.”
Yan Zhonghua nodded. “Please.”
Yan Tianhen asked, “Where are my senior martial brothers?”
The Dragon Emperor sighed softly. “The two of them have already left. They’re headed for Fuyao Sect to find Esteemed Lan Yue.”
