Immortal of Eternal Life and Endless Ages

Chapter 10: Fire Fox Dao Fruit
The wooden box is not big.

There were twenty black pills the size of longan inside, emitting a special smell.

It's rotten yet has a slight scent of grass and trees.

"These are all first-grade mid-level elixirs, waste Huiyuan Pills. Normally, a bottle of them costs dozens of spirit stones!"

Zheng Qiubo had a smile on his face, and his eyes always moved towards Fang Sheng's face inadvertently.

"Um……"

Fang Sheng looked thoughtful and carefully picked up one.

Qinglian didn't react at all.

It seems that the idea of ​​extracting essence and blood from waste pills is not feasible.

Have to find another way...

There was a hint of disappointment in Fang Sheng's eyes, which was hardly noticeable to others.

He frowned slightly:
"Miss Qiubo, I heard that the waste pills contain blood evil?"

"Ah, yes!"

Qiubo came back to his senses and nodded quickly.

"However, the blood evil in these waste pills has been refined."

"why?"

Fang Sheng's eyelashes moved slightly, and hope rose in his heart again.

"You don't know that waste pill blood evil is not only harmful to cultivators, but also pollutes the land and even the spiritual veins if discarded at will."

"So we must refine the blood evil in it, so that the remaining plant essence can nourish the medicine field..."

"Then is there still a task to refine the blood evil?"

Fang Sheng's tone was calm, and his true emotions could not be seen at all.

Qiubo stroked the hair on his forehead, a little hesitant:
"Of course there are. This type of task consumes a lot of mana and has high requirements, so there is a backlog."

"But, you haven't been practicing for long, right?"

"It doesn't matter."

Fang Sheng smiled at her gently.

"Let me try it first."

"Okay... I'll write it down for you."

Miss Qiubo blushed slightly and opened the roster to register.

Then he turned around and took out a jade box, inside of which was a waste pill with blood evil.

Different from the previous box.

As soon as Fang Sheng picked up the jade box, he felt Qinglian's unusual movement.

On the lotus platform.

The blood lotus cup held in the soul's hand was emitting a faint light.

There is a play!

Fang Sheng's expression remained unchanged. He took the two boxes of waste pills in his hands, turned around and left.

Before leaving, I didn’t forget to say one more thing:
"Thank you, Miss Qiubo."

"See you!"

Qiubo supported her face with her hands and kept staring at his back.

……

At the entrance of the Pepsi Hall.

After receiving the task, Zhao Miaoyan left in a hurry.

Fang Sheng held two boxes of used pills in his hands, turned a corner and walked onto a rarely traveled path.

He could feel the green lotus in his palm moving.

The waste pills in that jade box can definitely be used to refine essence and blood.

"No hurry, finish another task first, then return to the yard to absorb the essence and blood."

'This is the safest way.'

After two reincarnations, Fang Sheng has enough patience and the ability to suppress his impulses.

He came to the medicine field.

As required, the waste pills were ground into powder and buried in several points of the medicine field formation.

The Zheng family's medicinal fields are widely distributed and quite far apart from each other, each covering more than several thousand acres.

Fang Sheng has no magic weapon to fly, he can only rely on his legs.

Even using the basic magic of movement, it still took half a day to run through all the medicine fields and bury the spent pill powder into the corresponding array eyes.

"call!"

Even a cultivator would feel tired at this time.

"As an outsider, the Zheng family still treats you differently."

"Those easy tasks will only be left to the Zheng family's children. The only tasks that the ordinary immortal seedlings can take on are mostly these kinds of laborious and strenuous tasks..."

On the way back, we came across a small lake.

Fang Sheng leaned over and looked at his face in the water.

After nearly half a year of recuperation, he no longer looks as thin as before.

Now he has straight sword-like eyebrows, sparkling eyes, handsome face, and a look of indifference and tranquility.

Compared with my previous life, I am somewhat similar.

After all, it's the same soul.

……

Complete the task in the Baishi Hall.

Fang Sheng returned to his own courtyard.

Put the jade box containing the waste pills on the table and open it.

Forty black and red pills appeared in front of his eyes, and he could smell a fishy odor at the tip of his nose.

"The red part is the blood evil!"

Fang Sheng covered the jade box with his palm and closed his eyes silently.

"absorb!"

Swish!
The bloody luster of the waste pill in front of him quickly faded away.

It soon turned black and the smell changed.

On the lotus platform.

The blood lotus lamp floated, emitting a red glow.

A new lotus pattern appeared.

[Fire Fox Dao Fruit·Cultivation in Progress]

【Progress: 8/100】

[Effect: Ordinary people's bloodline, which is born ignorant, can enhance their fire nature and realize the fox fire method.] Done!

There was a gleam in Fang Sheng's eyes, revealing a hint of excitement.

……

Seven days later.

Fang Sheng came to the Baishi Hall again.

When Zheng Qiubo saw him, he waved to him.

The dark color between her eyebrows slightly raised, forming two crescent moons, showing the girl's unique agility and gentleness.

"Did you succeed in refining the waste pill blood evil from the other day?"

“It was indeed difficult, but I managed to complete it.”

Fang Sheng took out the jade box with a smile, inside of which were forty black waste pills.

"You are really amazing! Normally, this task can only be accomplished by people who have practiced for about ten years."

Zheng Qiubo picked up a waste pill and sniffed the scent.

Then he knew that the blood evil had been refined.

"I'll record it for you right away. Do you want to take on other tasks this time?"

"Well, let's continue refining the waste pills. I've found the trick. I have to run around for other tasks. It's troublesome..."

"it is good!"

The young girl nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and was extremely motivated.

After a while.

Fang Sheng walked out of the Baishi Hall holding a box of new waste pills.

Looking at the rising sun in the sky.

He took a deep breath:
"continue!"

Return to the yard.

After all the blood evil in the waste pills was absorbed, the progress of the Dao Fruit increased again.

[Fire Fox Dao Fruit·Cultivation in Progress]

【Progress: 16/100】

Fang Sheng came back to his senses and couldn't help but smile.

"Compared to human blood, it is indeed faster to cultivate Dao Fruit with the blood of monsters. One time is equivalent to my four months of hard work."

"If I hadn't handed in the tasks so quickly that it would have aroused suspicion, I would have been able to grind out the Fire Fox Dao Fruit in half a day."

In seven days, forty waste pills were refined.

For the first level of Qi Refining, it is already very fast.

If it goes any faster, there will be disaster.

"Remember, remember, getting carried away never has good results..."

Before, when I discovered that the Green Lotus of Samsara had no reaction to the waste pill.

Fang Sheng has already made preparations to work hard to cultivate his spiritual roots.

He would rather use his own essence and blood to cultivate the fruits of the Tao.

Even if only a trace of spiritual root grows in four years, it is still progress.

No matter how poor your spiritual roots are or how many bottlenecks you encounter, you are still practicing.

If you die, then everything is gone.

The world of immortal cultivation is full of dangers.

But he had neither a family background nor powerful magical powers.

Just a common person.

If you take risks for the blood essence of monsters, you will probably end up becoming cannon fodder.

Besides, others work hard because they only have a short hundred years to live and they have to work hard.

"But I can use the Green Lotus to reincarnate!"

"It will take an estimated twenty years for the Azure Lotus to recharge in this lifetime."

"I can't take any risks until I can move on to my next reincarnation."

……

Ever since I got the waste pill back.

Fang Sheng began to live a secluded life.

To outsiders, he said that he was in seclusion to refine the waste elixir and blood evil, but in fact he gave it all to Qinglian to absorb.

He just focused on his own practice.

Every seven days, Fang Sheng would go to the Baishi Hall on time to collect new waste pills.

The alchemists of the Zheng family had no idea that someone was taking advantage of them.

The progress of Fire Fox Dao Fruit is also constantly increasing.

【Progress: 32/100】

【Progress: 64/100】

One month, two months...

Until the third month passed.

Fang Sheng absorbed all the waste pill blood evil he had just brought back.

On the lotus platform.

The lotus pattern, symbolizing the Fire Fox Dao Fruit, completes the final stroke.

With the nourishment of essence and blood, the green Taoist fruit at the end of the lotus pattern also matured.

Fang Sheng transformed into soul form and gently picked the Fire Fox Taoist Fruit.

Swish!
The Tao fruit instantly merged into the soul body.

A warm feeling gradually welled up in my heart, and the sound of the distant avenue came to my ears, ethereal, grand, and endless.

Constantly washing Fang Sheng's heart.

It was as if new buds were sprouting deep inside my body, and new branches and leaves were blooming...

This feeling of rebirth is intoxicating.

At the same time, a sense of enlightenment arose in Fang Sheng's heart, which was the understanding of some kind of magic.

"Is this, the Fox Fire Magic?"

After a while, all the unusual movements slowly subsided.

Fang Sheng came to his senses and immediately checked his own condition.

Soon we discovered——

Spiritual roots, four strands of Tao rhyme!
　Please read it. I don't know if I can try it out next week. If not, it will be very difficult. My chapters are basically around 2,500 to 3,000 words, and the total word count is already a bit too much...
