Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

"Quick, put out the fire!" Jiang Qiong shouted, and rushed to the sea of ​​fire first. He used his spiritual power, and swung the soft sword in his hand to release sword energy, trying to cut off the path of the flames.

Wherever the sword energy passed, the flames were temporarily suppressed, but soon burned again.

Nan Fengxue followed closely behind, quickly forming seals with her hands. A large amount of water vapor condensed in her palms, and then turned into a turbulent stream of water, spraying towards the flames.

The water flow hit the flames, making a sizzling sound, and white water vapor spread out, interweaving with the thick smoke.

Lang Nana cast a spiritual plant spell to summon vines. The vines quickly emerged from the ground and stretched towards the flames.

The surface of the vines secretes a kind of mucus that can isolate oxygen and have a fire-extinguishing effect.

She manipulated the vines and shouted:
"Everyone be careful, this fire is burning very strangely, and seems to be more fierce than ordinary flames."

At this time, the disciples of the Immortal Sect who heard the noise also rushed over. Li Yi led the crowd, some of them took buckets to fetch water from the nearby spiritual spring to put out the fire, and some cast spells to assist.

For a moment, the entire spiritual plant area was filled with a tense and busy atmosphere.

Everyone worked together and launched a fierce battle with the fire.

However, the fire was too fierce. Despite everyone's best efforts, the speed of extinguishing the fire could not keep up with the speed of the flames spreading.

Jiang Qiong looked at the scene in front of him, anxious. He looked around and found that there was a spiritual plant area not far away that was full of ice spiritual grass, which contained a strong cold air.

He suddenly had an idea and shouted to Nan Fengxue, "Fengxue, let's guide the cold air of the Ice Spirit Grass over here, maybe we can suppress this fire."

Nan Fengxue nodded in agreement.

The two came to the Ice Spirit Grass area and circulated their spiritual power at the same time.

Jiang Qiong tapped the ice spirit grass gently with his soft sword to stimulate the cold air inside it, while Nan Fengxue used ice magic to guide the cold air towards the direction of the fire.

With the influx of cold air, the temperature around the flames dropped rapidly, and the fire was finally contained to a certain extent.

Seeing this, everyone's morale was boosted and they worked even harder to put out the fire.

After some hard work, the fire was finally put out. Looking at the charred spiritual plant area in front of them, everyone felt extremely heavy.

The spiritual plant that was once full of vitality is now reduced to dead branches and leaves, emitting a pungent burnt smell.

Jiang Qiong frowned, his eyes full of anger and confusion: "This fire came too suddenly, it must not be an accident, we must find out."

Therefore, the investigation was quickly launched. Jiang Qiong and the other two, together with Li Yi, began to carefully search for clues at the fire scene.

They squatted down and checked the traces on the ground, not missing any details.

Lang Nana discovered that there were some strange footprints at the edge of the fire area. The shape of the footprints was irregular and the distance between the footprints was large, as if the person who left the footprints was in a hurry.

She pointed at the footprints and said, "Look everyone, these footprints are very suspicious, they don't look like they belong to our Xianzong disciples."

Nan Fengxue was checking the remaining spiritual plants and found that some of the roots had signs of burns. The burn marks showed strange patterns, which did not seem to be caused by ordinary flames.

She shared her discovery with everyone: "This flame seems to have some special power. Perhaps someone used a special spell to set the fire."

Jiang Qiong stood up and looked around.

Suddenly, he found a reflection on a tree in the distance. He used his skills to quickly jump to the top of the tree, and saw a black dagger stuck in the tree, with some mysterious runes engraved on it.

He took off the dagger and observed it carefully: "I have never seen the runes on this dagger before. It must be from some mysterious force. It seems that there must be a conspiracy behind this arson incident."

Li Yi's face was solemn, and he said: "This matter must be reported to the Immortal Sect as soon as possible. However, before that, we must try to collect more clues."

Everyone nodded in agreement. In the next few days, they continued to investigate around the Spiritual Medicine Garden. Jiang Qiong and Nan Fengxue visited the villages around the Spiritual Medicine Garden and asked the villagers if they had seen any suspicious persons.

Lang Nana stayed in the spiritual medicine garden and conducted in-depth research on the burnt spiritual plants, trying to find more clues from the damage to the spiritual plants.

During the visit, Jiang Qiong and Nan Fengxue learned from a villager that on the evening before the fire, he saw a man in a black cloak walking towards the spiritual medicine garden.

The man was tall and walked lightly, looking very mysterious. Jiang Qiong's heart moved, and he and Nan Fengxue looked at each other, thinking that this clue was very important.

After returning to the Spiritual Medicine Garden, they told Lang Nana and Li Yi the clue. After hearing this, Lang Nana fell into deep thought.

She suddenly thought that the Shadow Alliance she had met in the mines before also acted in a very strange way. Could it be related to the arson incident? She expressed her guess.

Jiang Qiong nodded in agreement: "Nana's guess is not without reason. The Shadow Alliance has always been eyeing the resources of the Immortal Sect. They wanted to snatch the Red Flame Crystal in the mine before. This time, they are likely to destroy our spiritual medicine garden and weaken the strength of the Immortal Sect."

In order to verify this conjecture, they decided to start with the black dagger.

Jiang Qiong used his knowledge of weapon forging to try to decipher the runes on the dagger.

After some research, he found that these runes had similarities with symbols in some ancient documents of the Shadow Alliance.

This further confirmed their speculation that the arson incident was most likely caused by the Shadow Alliance.

They reported the investigation results to the Immortal Sect.

The top leaders of the Immortal Sect attached great importance to this matter and immediately sent elite disciples to assist Jiang Qiong and others in strengthening the protection of the spiritual medicine garden and to investigate the Shadow Alliance.

Jiang Qiong and the other two did not let their guard down. They continued to lead the disciples of the Immortal Sect to repair the spiritual medicine garden. At the same time, they formulated more stringent preventive measures to prevent the Shadow Alliance from attacking again.

In the following days, the Spiritual Medicine Garden gradually recovered with the efforts of everyone. New spiritual plants were planted, and the garden protection formation was further strengthened and improved.

With everyone's concerted efforts and hard work day and night, the spiritual medicine garden that was once devastated by the fire gradually shed its charred and dilapidated appearance and regained its vitality.

The newly planted spiritual plants are like a group of vigorous children. Under the gentle caress of the sun and the affectionate nourishment of the rain and dew, the tender green buds are struggling to break through the soil like bamboo shoots after the rain.

They stretched out their delicate bodies, absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and each young leaf shone with the light of life, showing vigorous vitality. The garden protection array has been reinforced, and the original simple runes now shine with a brighter and more powerful light. The runes intertwine with each other, emitting a layer of halo that is almost invisible, like an indestructible protective barrier, quietly guarding this precious spiritual plant world, and deterring all those with evil intentions.

One morning, the sky was clear and there was not a trace of cloud in the azure sky. It seemed like a huge, pure and flawless sapphire inlaid above the world.

Suddenly, a streak of light flashed across the distant sky like lightning, dragging a long, dazzling tail, and rushed towards the direction of the spiritual medicine garden.

The light slowly fell at the entrance of the spiritual medicine garden. The light gradually dissipated, and an old man in a moon-white robe appeared.

The old man has white hair, as pure as snow, and every strand of hair seems to be telling the vicissitudes of life.

However, his eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, shining brightly, revealing a wisdom and calmness in seeing through the world.

He is Elder Xuanfeng, who is in charge of alchemy affairs in the Immortal Sect. In the Immortal Sect, his attainments in alchemy are unfathomable and he is highly respected.

Elder Xuanfeng stood at the entrance of the spiritual medicine garden, raised his head slightly, and took a deep breath.

The fragrance of spiritual plants and the faint aroma of medicine filled the air, like a pair of gentle hands, gently brushing across his heart.

This familiar and intoxicating scent made him nod slightly, a gratified smile appearing on his face.

As the manager of the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Li Yi had already heard about the arrival of the elders. He quickly put on his clothes and led Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana to meet them.

Everyone came before the elders and bowed in unison, their attitudes respectful and pious. Elder Xuanfeng raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to skip the formalities.

His gaze was like a precise searchlight, scanning everyone's faces one by one, with scrutiny and expectation in his eyes.

Finally, his gaze fell on Jiang Qiong and the other two, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes:
"I heard that you performed well in protecting the spiritual medicine garden and investigating the arson incident. Seeing you today, I can see that you are really energetic. You are really promising young people."

Jiang Qiong took a step forward and said modestly, "Elder, you are too kind. This is the result of everyone's concerted efforts. I dare not take all the credit. In addition, throughout the whole process, we also owe it to the blessing of the Immortal Sect and the careful guidance of all the predecessors to achieve today's results."

Jiang Qiong's voice was steady and firm, and his words were full of respect for the Immortal Sect and predecessors.

Elder Xuanfeng looked around with a smile, and wherever his eyes went, there were newly planted spiritual plants and reinforced formations.

These new spiritual plants and brand new formations all demonstrate the hard work and dedication of everyone.

His eyes were full of relief, and he said slowly:

“Yes, you have restored the Spiritual Medicine Garden to this state in such a short period of time. This shows how much effort you have put in.

Since I am here today, I will refine a furnace of elixir here, firstly to test whether the quality of the spiritual plants in this spiritual medicine garden is superior, and secondly to teach you some methods of refining elixirs, I hope it will be helpful to you. "

When everyone heard this, surprise and anticipation flashed in their eyes.

For cultivators, alchemy is not only an important way to improve strength, but also a science full of mystery and challenges.

Now, being able to receive personal instruction from a master of alchemy like Elder Xuanfeng is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The elder ordered people to set up an alchemy furnace in an open area in the spiritual medicine garden.

The shape of this alchemy furnace is simple and elegant, as if it came from ancient times. The furnace body is made of thick black iron, and the surface of the iron is engraved with mysterious runes. These runes are like ancient characters, recording the mysteries of alchemy.

Under the sunlight, the runes flickered faintly, as if whispering stories that had been forgotten by the years.

On the furnace cover, a lifelike sculpture of a three-legged golden crow spreads its wings as if ready to fly. The eyes of the three-legged golden crow are bright, as if it is always watching the refining of the elixir in the furnace, and is ready to fly into the sky with the elixir in the furnace and deliver it to the hands of the destined person.

The elder raised his hand and waved it gently, and a pure and powerful spiritual power slowly poured into the alchemy furnace like an invisible thread.

In an instant, a light blue flame ignited at the bottom of the furnace. The flame was pure and hot, without a trace of impurities. It was exactly the earth fire needed for alchemy.

The underground fire licked the furnace body, making a slight "whooshing" sound, as if singing happily, announcing that a wonderful alchemy journey was about to begin.

The elder turned around and looked at everyone, his expression became serious and focused, and he began to explain patiently:

"The most important thing in alchemy is the temperature of the fire. The temperature of the earth fire needs to be flexibly adjusted according to the different stages of the medicinal materials. If the temperature is too high, the medicinal materials will burn instantly and lose their medicinal effects; if the temperature is too low, the medicinal power cannot be fully stimulated and the pill will be difficult to form."

As he spoke, he quickly formed seals with his hands, and streams of spiritual energy flowed out from his fingertips, blending with the earth fire.

The size and color of the underground fire changed subtly, sometimes getting bigger and sometimes getting smaller, and the color kept switching between light blue and dark blue, demonstrating the elder's precise control over the fire.

Jiang Qiong and the other two listened attentively, their eyes fixed on the elder's every move, afraid of missing any details.

Their eyes were full of desire and concentration, as if they were listening to the most precious teachings in the world.

Afterwards, the elder took out an exquisite jade box from his sleeve. The jade box was carved from the finest jade. The box exuded a soft luster, as if it contained the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

The elder gently opened the jade box, revealing a few nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum that had just been picked from the spiritual medicine garden. The leaves were broad and thick, with morning dew still hanging on them.

In the reflection of the sun, the dewdrops sparkle with crystal light, like bright pearls, dotted on the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum, adding a touch of mystery and nobility.

The elder picked up one and carefully showed it to everyone:

"This nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum is a precious medicinal material for refining high-level elixirs. You must be careful when picking it and not damage it at all. If you are not careful, it will affect its efficacy and thus affect the quality of the elixir."

His voice was gentle but firm, and every word seemed to ring a warning bell in everyone's hearts.

Then, he placed the Ganoderma lucidum slowly into the alchemy furnace, moving as gently as if he were handling the most precious treasure in the world.

The moment the Ganoderma lucidum fell into the alchemy furnace, the underground fire seemed to be summoned by something and suddenly jumped up a few inches, wrapping the Ganoderma lucidum tightly.

Then, the elder added Lingxi fruit, Qingling grass and other medicinal herbs one after another. Every time he added a medicinal herb, he explained in detail its characteristics and its role in the elixir.

His explanation was profound and simple, and he explained the complex knowledge of the Dao of Alchemy in easy-to-understand language, which made Jiang Qiong and the other two listen in fascination. (End of this chapter)
