The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 80 Mysterious Spiritual Seed
Three days passed.

With the help of the Enlightenment Tea given by his master, Chen Jinshu finally figured out the recipe for the Ningxi Pill.

Although it has not been refined yet, she is now confident enough that she can make the pill. Her only worry is the lack of spiritual power.

Before her cultivation broke through the sixth level of Qi training, she could only refine one or two furnaces, and even refining one furnace was difficult the first time.

"My cultivation progress is too fast. It's only been less than half a year since I broke through to the fifth level!"

It's not that she doesn't want to improve quickly, but cultivation must be done step by step and cannot be rushed.

She has taken a lot of time to practice in these months, but it will still take four or five months to break through the sixth level.

As your cultivation level improves, the amount of spiritual power you need to absorb will only increase, layer by layer.

"Let's try one first!"

She also wanted to see if she could successfully refine a furnace with her fifth-level Qi training spiritual power.

After concentrating for a moment, she raised her hand to light the charcoal fire in the furnace in front of her.

Soon, bright orange-yellow flames rose in the alchemy room.

"Whoa!"

She threw the elixir into the alchemy furnace. The whole process was extremely quick and without any hesitation.

Then she made the hand gestures that she had practiced countless times.

"Just this step of refining consumes 20% more spiritual energy than a mid-grade elixir!"

She felt that the spiritual power in her dantian was being consumed at a rapid rate, and she couldn't help but frown.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour later, Chen Jinshu had reached the final stage of refining. At this time, the spiritual power in his dantian was less than one third left.

The amount of spiritual energy consumed during the entire refining process was about what she expected.

Since it was her first time refining, in order to avoid mistakes, she deliberately slowed down her technique and speed, which also resulted in the consumption of more spiritual power.

"Boom!" The alchemy furnace made a muffled sound that was louder than any other time when the elixir was being made, and a faint white mist began to escape.

"Collect!" She changed her hand gestures, and a small vortex formed above the alchemy furnace, absorbing the white gas back.

After a moment, Chen Jinshu took the pill bottle in his hand, raised his hand and waved it, and three bright white elixirs flew quickly towards the pill bottle.

She looked over and there was a hint of joy in her tired eyes.

"It's really not easy to make a pill on the first try. The quality is only just below average."

"There are only five or six wisps of spirit left in the Dantian."

She stretched her waist, lit some incense, and then took out the Luqiqin and started playing.

……

That night.

Chen Jinshu played the piano in the yard to restore his spiritual power, thinking of the mission spirit seeds scattered in the spiritual plant space.

"It's been three days and it should sprout."

With a thought, she took out the mission spirit seed soaked in the labor-inducing potion.

Sure enough, I saw the spiritual seeds that had already sprouted a little in the basin of medicine.

"No, there are actually two buds? Are they twin buds or two buds on one stem?"

The sharp-eyed Chen Jinshu quickly noticed the buds emerging on both sides of the middle of the mission spirit seed, but the colors of the buds were slightly different.

The one on the left is slightly darker green, while the one on the right is whitish and looks malnourished.

"Could it be that the nutrients of the spiritual seeds are unevenly distributed?"

Thinking of this, Chen Jinshu took out the sprouted spiritual seeds from the basin.

Only then did she discover that this spiritual seed was actually a lotus seed.

"It's really hard to tell the types of spirit seeds just by looking at them with the naked eye!"

"Since it is a spiritual seed, it needs more water to cultivate it." She buried the spiritual seed in the prepared new pot, and then poured the growth-inducing medicine on it.

As soon as the growth-inducing liquid was poured on the spirit seed, the spirit seed reacted and broke out of the soil directly.

Two small seedlings that looked like bamboo sticks emerged.

"According to the normal spiritual lotus growth rate, it will take at least half a month to grow two or three inches. To cultivate it until a lotus blooms, it will take at least two or three months!"

Then she placed the potted plants aside and continued playing the piano.

The sound of the piano music continued to echo in the courtyard, and most of the spiritual power consumed in her dantian gradually recovered.

Soon it was three quarters past four.

The moon above the courtyard had become round at some point, emitting a bright light, covering the courtyard, which was gradually becoming dark, with a layer of gauze.

Chen Jinshu, who was immersed in playing the piano, didn't notice the two pointed teeth in the potted plant next to him. Under the moonlight, dark red blood was oozing out, almost covering the entire surface of the soil of the potted plant.

Another quarter of an hour later, Chen Jinshu finished playing "Ode to the Rejuvenation of the Earth Veins", and finally restored most of the spiritual power in her body. She could absorb the remaining most of the spiritual power herself when she meditated and rested.

"What kind of spirit seed is this?"

Chen Jinshu took a quick glance and saw that the potted plants on the side were covered with blood-red leaves, extending from the two fangs, just like human blood vessels.

Especially under the moonlight, it looks very strange.

"It can actually absorb the power of moonlight and make progress."

Her eyes swung between the full moon above her head and the buds in the potted plants, and she soon discovered the connection between the two.

After all, the fangs grew an inch out of thin air, which was hard not to notice.

"It seems I'll have to take you out to bask in the moonlight often in the future."

She originally estimated that the flower buds would appear in February or March, but now it seems that they may appear earlier.

……

A month and a half later, Chen Jinshu took out the potted plant again.

This spirit seed underwent another strange change. The plant, which had already grown five or six inches, actually shrank back into the soil, leaving only a curved stem as thick as two little fingers.

"How come it's still growing and burrowing into the soil?"

She remembered that when she took it out yesterday, it had grown tall and straight, and was full of vitality.

She was also looking forward to seeing the different lotus in a month.

I didn't expect to see it shrink back into the soil today.

After a month and a half of observation, she finally understood the pattern of how this spirit seed absorbed moonlight.

The blood-colored rays that emanate from the roots of the spiritual plants, like blood vessels, will shrink back after losing the moonlight, and will grow out again when exposed to the moonlight again.

It's like a form of spiritual seed absorbing moonlight.

However, she had never expected that the spiritual plant would burrow back into the soil today, which refreshed her understanding of spiritual seeds.

"If such a strange spirit seed grows up, it will definitely be extraordinary!"

She placed the potted plants in the yard, then took out the Luqiqin and began to play.

In the Xuanming Sect area, the moon usually becomes full around midnight. The moonlight at this time is the most dazzling and has the strongest effect on the spiritual lotus.

Soon the moon flew high into the sky, pouring down its moonlight, illuminating the potted plants.

I saw that the spiritual plant that was originally buried in the soil had its head poked out of the soil, and its stem was covered with blood.

Every time Chen Jinshu looked at this scene, he couldn't help but think of those ghosts and blood-sucking spiritual plants. They were so weird and fascinating.

But there was nothing special about her spiritual plant except that it could burrow back into the soil and absorb moonlight.

"As expected of Yaowang Peak, there are so many strange spiritual species."

"Let's wait for a while and see the situation before asking Master for advice." She always felt that this spirit seed might be something extraordinary.
