Jidao Wusheng: I am invincible in my flesh and tear the weirdness apart with my bare hands

To refine a superior Pure Lotus Pill, the first problem to solve is the issue of medicinal materials.

But this is not a problem for Ding Hong.

Because the Ding family is in the medicinal herb business.

Whether it's the medicinal herbs from Anning Army's Alchemy Pavilion or the medicinal herbs from the City Lord's Mansion, they all have to buy them from the Ding family.

That is why the Ding family never interferes in alchemy.

Because if the Ding family also employs a group of alchemists, they would completely monopolize the supply of pills, and neither the City Lord's Mansion nor the Anning Army would allow such a thing to happen.

Of course, the City Lord's Mansion and the Anning Army also have their own medicinal herb supply channels, but none of them can compare to the Ding family's medicinal herbs.

Therefore, a balance is formed among the three, and no one will break this balance unless there is an extraordinary interest driving them.

Like this moment.

Ding Hong acquired Zhang Lingshan, a slave capable of refining high-grade Pure Lotus Pills, which immediately gave her the idea of ​​seizing a share of the pill market.

However, she was not reckless, nor was she blinded by greed.

Therefore, she never considered forming an alchemy team, because doing so would involve too many issues and could easily anger the Anning Army and the City Lord's Mansion.

Therefore.

Ding Hong only needs Zhang Lingshan, and only needs the top-grade Pure Lotus Pill.

She doesn't need to produce other elixirs to seize the market, and she's not short of money.

What she wanted was the scarcity of the top-grade Pure Lotus Pill, which was priceless and unavailable for purchase.

Once they have a large quantity of high-grade Pure Lotus Pills, Ding Hong will be in high demand, and her family will have more advantages when negotiating interests.

Besides, the most important point is that Ding Hong's status in the Ding family will be instantly elevated.

It's not impossible that he could become the undisputed head of the Ding family in the future.

Even more so, in the future, they could leave this remote place of Anning City and return to the main Ding family in the imperial city, with a bright future ahead!
In short, with Zhang Lingshan, a genius in water-based alchemy, there are plenty of pills that can be refined in the future. This is why Ding Hong saved Zhang Lingshan; it's the most worthwhile investment.

Anyway, the Cold Jade Crystal was obtained by chance and was of little use to her. Using it on the mountain slave was a way of making good use of it.

"Mountain Slave, for now, these are the only pill furnaces available. You are responsible for refining high-grade Pure Lotus Pills by yourself. Use them until they break down, don't worry about it. My requirements are not high, just give me thirty pills a day, no matter how many furnaces you use."

Ding Hong led Zhang Lingshan to a room that had been carefully prepared in advance, which we'll call the alchemy room for now, and gave Zhang Lingshan some instructions.

"Master, you overestimate my abilities."

Zhang Lingshan hurriedly said, "Back in the Alchemy Pavilion, I only refined one batch, which is only three pills. At that time, Huo Ran helped me, and it took a full twelve hours. Now you want me to refine so many at once, but my abilities are limited, and I cannot do it."

Ding Hong snorted, "That was then, and this is now. You should know that I've already helped you break through to the Profound Immortal realm, and you've absorbed so many Cold Jade Crystals, which has nourished your water-type spiritual root and made it even stronger. If you still can't do that, then I guess you think I'm just a kind-hearted and easy-going person?"

"Master, spare my life!"

Zhang Lingshan hurriedly said, "Although the mountain servant has improved, he hasn't refined pills for a long time, and no one has helped him. He's also unfamiliar with the pill furnace. At least we need to let the mountain servant get familiar with it before we can find a way to fulfill the master's requirements."

Upon hearing this, Ding Hong thought for a moment and said, "That's right, then I'll let you get familiar with it for now. But I'll only give you half a month. If you keep making excuses, you'll be in trouble!"

"Yes, Master, I promise I will not disappoint you."

Zhang Lingshan still maintained an honest, timid, and fearful demeanor.

After Ding Hong finished giving his instructions, he didn't bother to stay and watch him refine pills. With the Soul-Devouring Worm larvae around, Little Mountain Slave was his most loyal slave, so there was absolutely no need for him to stay and supervise him.

However, before leaving, Ding Hong took Zhang Lingshan's storage ring to prevent him from hoarding pills.

Although I was certain that this little mountain slave didn't have the guts, taking the storage ring would obviously be more convenient.

Since this guy is already my slave and I don't need him to go out and do anything, giving him a storage ring is useless, so why bother leaving it for him?

'Fuck you.'

Zhang Lingshan cursed inwardly.

Storage rings are things that I never really get to use before they get taken away. The only time I've ever truly used them is in the paddy field region.

Speaking of the paddy field region, there are still some mid-grade spirit rice left over from back then in this storage ring, all of which benefited that bastard Ding Hong.

Fortunately, the top-grade spiritual rice I grew was stored in my pouch space, otherwise I would have suffered an even greater loss.

Despite the criticism, the high-grade Pure Lotus Pill still needs to be refined.

Zhang Lingshan started a fire in the furnace. Without Huo Ran, his partner who was annoying but still somewhat useful, he could only refine pills alone in solitude.

It must be said that after breaking through to the Xuanxian realm, and absorbing so many Cold Jade Crystals, his Xuanbing Tree, Qi and Blood Tree, and Ice and Fire Pool all experienced significant improvements.

Therefore, refining high-grade Pure Lotus Pills is not only effortless, but also much easier than before.

Previously, when refining with Huo Ran, I would sweat slightly on my forehead. The mental energy, immortal spiritual energy, blood and fire energy, and water-based spiritual energy consumed a lot, enough to make me a little tired.

But at this moment, after a batch of pills was produced, he showed no signs of fatigue.

Of course, on the surface, he still looked rather tired. After all, he had to go all out in his act, and if that bitch Ding Hong secretly observed him again, it would be troublesome.

You should know that with his current divine sense, he is more than capable of competing with those Xuanxian, but he is still a step behind a Golden Immortal like Ding Hong.

'Although my strength has increased, this time I only produced one high-grade Pure Lotus Pill; the rest were all mid-grade.'

While secretly lamenting his inadequate alchemy skills, Zhang Lingshan stuffed all the mid-grade Pure Lotus Pills into his mouth.

Do not eat white do not eat.

Even if they get caught, they'll only get a beating at most, nothing serious.

I've never tried the Pure Lotus Pill before, so I'm eager to see what's so special about it.

Wow.

As soon as the middle-grade Pure Lotus Pill entered his stomach, Zhang Lingshan felt a purifying power inexplicably arise within his body, and he couldn't help but exhale a breath of turbid air.

In an instant, he felt as if he were in a hot spring, and the mid-grade Pure Lotus Pill was like a bath attendant, not only scrubbing away the dirt on his body but also removing the dirt inside.

'nice one.'

Zhang Lingshan was inwardly full of praise, both surprised and delighted.

No wonder this thing is so precious, enough to make even a good-for-nothing like Huo Ran treated like a treasure by the Alchemy Pavilion.

This elixir can purify the body of impurities.

It should be noted that Zhang Lingshan not only possesses a body of profound metal, but is also a beginner-level immortal spiritual body.

The amount of filth in his body is definitely much less than that of others.

Even so, the Pure Lotus Pill was able to purify the residual impurities in its body.

It's easy to imagine that this elixir would have a more significant effect on others than on Zhang Lingshan.

[Immortal Spirit Body: +100]

'Not only can it purify impurities, but it can also increase the experience points of the Immortal Spirit Body.'

Zhang Lingshan was overjoyed.

You should know that once you've entered the Immortal Spirit Body, the requirements for improvement are much higher. And since I don't have any high-quality spirit rice to eat, my progress in the Immortal Spirit Body these days has been negligible. It seems like it's even more distant to break through to the minor completion stage of the Immortal Spirit Body.

But at this moment, this mid-grade Pure Lotus Pill gave him a pleasant surprise.

A single mid-grade Pure Lotus Pill can increase experience points by 100, although this is still a drop in the ocean compared to the 1st hurdle that the Immortal Spirit Body needs to break through.

But at least there's hope, isn't there? And I can refine not only mid-grade Pure Lotus Pills, but also high-grade Pure Lotus Pills.

Thinking about this...

Zhang Lingshan immediately released a burst of energy to quickly sense his surroundings. When he found that no one was watching, he quickly swallowed the only high-grade Pure Lotus Pill that he had just refined.

Gurgle.

[Immortal Spirit Body: +1000]

'Good, good, good, I only need to eat 100,000 pills to break through.'

Zhang Lingshan was overjoyed.

Is 100,000 pills a lot?

a lot of!

Just by refining pills here, it would take several years to accumulate enough.

Not to mention that these pills are not Zhang Lingshan's private property; he can only steal them. A quick estimate would show that if he stole ten pills a day, it would take him about thirty years to steal them.

However, in the Immortal Realm, thirty years is considered a considerable amount of time.
Having experienced so much, Zhang Lingshan has changed his previous concept of time in the Nine Provinces Continent and the mortal realm.

In the past, time was real time, and every second was precious.

However, time in the Immortal Realm is not time at all. Everyone there is a thousand-year-old tortoise. Only by living a long and enduring life can one become a strong person and the final victor.

So thirty years really doesn't even amount to a fart.

Putting everything else aside, Ding Hong looks young, but she has lived for at least more than ten thirty-year periods.

This is a world where it's about who lives the longest, not who runs the fastest.

If you live long enough, anything is possible.

Running fast might mean dying fast too.

For example, Zhang Lingshan is a living example. His alchemy skills improved rapidly. He was a genius who could refine high-grade Pure Lotus Pills, a talent that was one in a million or even ten million. Wasn't it precisely because of this that Lu Zhaohe took a liking to him and used him as a vessel to transfer the poison of the Ash Bone Fire?

and so.

The goal now is not to run fast, but to live long.

As long as Ding Hong doesn't cause trouble or create any problems, Zhang Lingshan can focus on refining pills here in peace.

Thirty years will pass in the blink of an eye.

Of course.

Just in case, Zhang Lingshan couldn't put all his eggs in one basket with his Immortal Spirit Body.

The improvement of immortal consciousness must be put back on the agenda.

Facing powerful Golden Immortals like Lu Zhaohe and Ding Hong, the seventh-level divine sense was completely insufficient.

Even when facing Tang Feiling, the head of the Alchemy Pavilion, he was almost discovered when he tried to spy on her storage ring.

It is evident that his divine consciousness is roughly equivalent to that of Tang Feiling.

In other words, as long as his divine sense advances further and breaks through to the eighth level, he may not be able to match Golden Immortal powerhouses like Lu Zhaohe and Ding Hong, but he can at least deal with Tang Feiling.

Therefore, stealing a flying magic weapon from Tang Feiling's storage ring would not be a problem.

In addition, when one's divine sense is released to investigate the surroundings, the probability of being discovered by Golden Immortal experts such as Ding Hong will be greatly reduced. When combined with the array's energy flow, it will be almost impossible to be detected.

Since there are so many benefits to improving one's divine sense, Zhang Lingshan naturally puts it first.

His alchemy and weapon crafting skills, as well as the enhancement of his divine consciousness, greatly helped him. On the contrary, his most prized physical body did not help him much.

That is, when he was ambushed by Zhao Xian and used as a vessel by Lu Zhaohe, his powerful physical body served as a safety net, saving Zhang Lingshan's life.

In other words, the physical body is only for dealing with danger and saving one's life, but if one wants to secretly improve it, one still needs to rely on the divine sense.

Fortunately, the physical body and the divine consciousness can be transformed into each other.

As long as Zhang Lingshan refines pills while simultaneously using the Pool of Vengeful Ghosts to deplete his physical body, he can enhance his divine consciousness and feign exhaustion from pill refining, achieving two goals at once.

The only problem is that the Ghost Pool is an external object, and if Ding Hong discovers it, we're doomed.

and so.

Zhang Lingshan also had to use a burst of energy to conceal the Ghost Pool while simultaneously using his divine sense to observe the surroundings in case Ding Hong suddenly appeared and launched a surprise attack.

This meant that what appeared to be alchemy was actually like fighting a war, keeping him in a state of constant mental tension.

If his soul tree hadn't been so incredibly powerful, it wouldn't have been able to hold on at all.

Interestingly...

Zhang Lingshan discovered that under these conditions, the roots of his Soul Tree were growing deeper and deeper, becoming more closely connected to his physical body, and were even able to autonomously draw energy from his body to grow.

Therefore, the branches and leaves of the Tree of Souls grew even more lush.

This is an unexpected delight!

It is evident that the more one's spirit is consumed and the more one's abilities are squeezed, the more resilient the Soul Tree becomes, and the more closely it connects with Zhang Lingshan's physical body.

This is a good thing!
In this world, some people cultivate their souls, while others refine their bodies. Everything has its focus; otherwise, if one is proficient in everything but mediocre in everything, then one is a complete waste.

However, Zhang Lingshan is able to integrate the two into one, making them complementary and mutually beneficial.

If he continues to develop in this way, who else but him will be invincible?
Thinking of this, Zhang Lingshan squeezed the Soul Tree even harder. He not only set up an array to shield the Pool of Vengeful Ghosts with a stream of energy, but also released a stream of energy around it, and set up a monitoring array with the divine senses that he had sent out.

such.

Whether it's Ding Hong or anyone else approaching, he can detect them as quickly as possible and then take action.

"Shannu."

This day.

The half-month period has passed.

Ding Hong arrived as promised, entering the alchemy room and saying, "Let me see how your pills are coming along. If they don't satisfy me, hmph."

"Master, rest assured, the mountain slave has already become skilled and can guarantee to refine thirty pieces a day. He will never let you down."

Zhang Lingshan hurriedly said, but his face showed fatigue, his eye sockets were sunken, and he looked listless.

"What are you up to?"

Ding Hong was slightly taken aback and said, "It's just alchemy, is it going to kill you?"

Zhang Lingshan said, "Master, you don't know this, but I refine pills in the Alchemy Pavilion and have spirit rice to eat every day."

"Haha, I forgot about that."

Ding Hong laughed heartily, waved his hand, and said, "Spirit rice is nothing, I have that here too. As long as you refine pills properly, I guarantee you'll eat until your belly bursts. Alright, enough nonsense, hurry up and refine a batch for me, let me see your skills."

"Yes, Master. But alchemy is very tedious and takes at least two and a half hours. I'm afraid you'll get bored."

"You're quite thoughtful."

Ding Hong gave a mocking smile and said, "You don't need to worry about me. Just focus on your refining. I can wait two and a half hours." (End of Chapter)
