Junior sister, I really need to control you

Moreover, Elder Yue herself is a genius in alchemy. According to Elder Qin, her talent in alchemy is even better than that of the Heavenly Cauldron True Man who is trying to refine the Life-Giving and Creation Pill.

"If there's anything you don't understand, tell me."

Elder Yue placed a prayer mat in front of him, gesturing for Li Yinsheng to sit down.

After Li Yinsheng sat down, Elder Yue's nose twitched slightly, and her ruby-like eyes trembled slightly before returning to calm.

Li Yinsheng did not ask a question immediately, but instead spoke up.

"The alchemy technique is not urgent. I have a few more questions to ask you."

Elder Yue nodded calmly: "Speak."

After hearing Li Yinsheng ask about the Thousand-Year Spirit Milk, she pondered for a moment, then frowned slightly, seemingly displeased.

"Are you here to ask for this item on behalf of Senior Sister Jin? I've already told her that we've used it all up."

Li Yinsheng shook his head: "I do need the millennium spirit milk, but not for Elder Jin. Elder Jin has already given the eggs of the spirit-devouring fish to my junior sister."

The Old Man of the Moon's furrowed brows relaxed: "I see."

But then she shook her head: "I still have a few drops of the Thousand-Year Spirit Milk for emergencies, but it's far from enough to help a spirit beast's egg advance."

"Otherwise, I would have given it to Senior Sister Jin that day, and I could have extorted some money from her."

“If it’s only a few drops, I’m afraid it really is…” Li Yinsheng nodded, somewhat disappointed.

But Elder Yue then said, "However, if you come with me to the Hidden Dragon Valley, you should be able to obtain some millennium-old spiritual milk."

Li Yinsheng's eyes lit up: "There really is thousand-year-old spiritual milk in Zhelong Valley?"

“This matter is supposed to be a secret, but since you are going to come with me into the Hidden Dragon Valley anyway, there’s no need to hide it from you,” Elder Yue said.

"I have a special constitution, I am naturally close to the wood element, and I also have a strong sense of plants. Therefore, when I entered the Hidden Dragon Valley last time, I found a very hidden place where rare and precious materials gathered."

She paused for a moment and said seriously, "There are at least seven rare and precious plants in that place that are over a thousand years old."

“Seven!” Li Yinsheng leaned forward instinctively. “That must be a lot of thousand-year-old spiritual milk!”

"There is a great deal of millennium-old spiritual milk, but... not only are there dense miasma beasts around, but there are also extremely ferocious companion beasts in this treasure land. Even though I have now been granted an imperial title, I do not think I can fight against them."

Elder Yue said solemnly, "When I was able to steal some of the millennium spirit milk, I was taking a great risk and was seriously injured."

"The companion beasts of that treasure land must be comparable to demon kings, and they are not affected by the miasma. There are probably several great demon-level miasma beasts around here, right?"

Li Yinsheng's expression also changed slightly.

However, he was regretful because the miasma beasts in Zhelong Valley did not have demon cores like the demon beasts, otherwise they could have been used to cultivate spirit-devouring fish.

“You are minimally affected by the miasma, so perhaps we can give it a try. There’s no need to kill it; just hold it off while I gather a few rare and precious herbs and some thousand-year-old spiritual milk,” Elder Yue said.

Li Yinsheng stroked his chin: "If we kill him, wouldn't everything be ours?"

"Don't underestimate him!" Elder Yue immediately said solemnly, "You have just formed your Dharma form. Even if it is a high-grade or top-grade Dharma form, you may not be able to defeat that beast due to your limited cultivation."

"In terms of strength, this beast is considered to be in the upper-middle level among demon kings. Even if you are not suppressed by the miasma, you should still be careful."

Li Yinsheng nodded earnestly.

"On this trip, I will try to collect as much millennium spirit milk as possible, enough for you to help that spirit-devouring fish advance."

Elder Yue said, "As for rare and precious materials... the rest are just icing on the cake, but a Dragon Horse Fungus that is over a thousand years old is indispensable."

"For me, everything else is secondary during this trip to Zhelong Valley; only Longmazhi is of utmost importance."

"If you help me obtain this medicine, I will owe you a favor. I will do my best to help you."

Chapter 167 The Main Ingredients of the Life-Giving and Creation Pill

In the medicinal herb garden.

"Longmazhi?" Li Yinsheng thought for a moment, proving that he had not read the book in vain.

"Could it be that miraculous herb recorded as being of great benefit to equines?"

"It is indeed a rare and precious treasure, dating back over a thousand years, but the effects of this Dragon Horse Herb on human cultivators are probably..."

Elder Yue lifted the alchemist's robe covering her body, revealing a slender yet curvaceous waist.

Li Yinsheng's gaze immediately focused on Elder Yue's waist.

However, he wasn't admiring Elder Yue's waist; instead, he was staring at a delicate little brocade pouch embroidered with a deer on her waist.

"This is... a spirit pet pouch?" He was somewhat surprised.

When she left Jiming Peak, Elder Jin gave her junior sister an empty spirit pet pouch to use after the Spirit Devouring Fish hatched.

Although they look different, the brocade pouch at Elder Yue's waist definitely has the aura of a spirit pet bag.

She lightly tapped her pet pouch, and a white deer flew out and landed beside her. Its lively deer eyes looked at Li Yinsheng with a hint of human-like curiosity and affection.

This white deer seemed to have never grown up; it was very short, and if it stood up, its head would probably only be level with Li Yinsheng's waist.

However, the clear yet profound aura emanating from it clearly indicated that it was a spirit beast, and not far from being a fairy beast!

"This is my spirit pet, the Hundred Herbs Deer. She is not good at fighting, but she is somewhat useful in helping me refine pills," Elder Yue said, gently stroking the top of the Hundred Herbs Deer's head.

Li Yinsheng suddenly realized: "So Longmazhi was prepared for this deer?"

"Well, the greatest use of the Hundred Herbs Deer is actually that after feeding it a huge amount of precious spiritual herbs, once it reaches adulthood and grows antlers, the refined medicinal properties will all be concentrated in the antlers..."

Li Yinsheng was listening intently to the unique aspects of the spirit pet when Elder Yue abruptly changed the subject.

"Then sever the life-bound connection, slaughter the Hundred Herbs Deer, remove its antlers, extract all its blood, and combine it with other rare and precious herbs to refine a pill that can greatly increase cultivation without any side effects."

Upon hearing Elder Yue finish speaking in a completely calm tone, Li Yinsheng immediately cast a pitying glance at the little deer.

"However, I can't bear to kill her."

Elder Moon gently stroked the white deer's smooth forehead: "Therefore, I hope it can be promoted to a spirit beast."

"Once the Hundred Herbs Deer becomes a spirit beast, its antlers can be picked while still retaining their medicinal properties, without having to kill the deer."

"And as long as it continues to be fed with a large amount of spiritual herbs, the Hundred Herbs Deer will grow antlers every thirty years or so, only the quality will be slightly worse than the first time."

Li Yinsheng suddenly realized: "So that thousand-year-old dragon horse fungus was prepared for the advancement of this hundred-herb deer?"

Elder Yue nodded.

“That’s not surprising, that’s not surprising…” Li Yinsheng said.

Elder Yue put away the Hundred Herbs Deer: "If you can protect my spirit pet, I won't have to use her life to make medicine. Consider it a favor I owe you."

Li Yinsheng naturally agreed.

"Shall I explain alchemy to you now?" Elder Yue quickly changed the subject.

"Uh...actually, I have another question." Li Yinsheng said somewhat embarrassedly.

Elder Yue showed no impatience and nodded, saying, "Speak."

Strictly speaking, this is not a problem, but a request similar to the one made when seeking help from Elder Yu.

He asked Elder Yue if there was any way to obtain a Life-Giving and Creation Pill from the Bixiao lineage or from True Person Tianding.

He still remembered the divine pill that was enough to restore his martial uncle's cultivation, and even allow him to rebuild himself from the ashes.

Previously, his cultivation level was low and he had no connections, so he simply kept this matter in mind.

Now that you have been granted the title of "True Man," you can consider this matter.

Although Elder Yue in front of me is not good at socializing, he probably doesn't have many connections in the Bixiao lineage.

But after all, he is a rare alchemist with the title of "True Person," so he should know many secrets in this regard, right?

"The Life-Giving and Creation Pill?" Elder Yue clearly knew about this pill as well. "You're interested in this pill, perhaps because you feel you're on the wrong path of cultivation?"

The Life-Giving and Creation Pill's ability to help people rebuild their foundation is truly miraculous, so she naturally and subconsciously made connections in that direction.

But Li Yinsheng immediately recounted what had happened to his martial uncle.

After listening, Elder Yue's eyes flashed with a strange light: "You seem to value this senior uncle very much. Given the preciousness of the Life-Giving Creation Pill, if it were to be refined, it might bankrupt even a True Immortal with the title of Imperial Edict."

Li Yinsheng nodded, indicating that he knew as well.

The Heavenly Cauldron True Man refined the Life-Giving and Creation Pill to save his Daoist partner, another True Man of the Azure Cloud lineage.

In other words, this elixir is practically equivalent to a second life.

Moreover, it has the miraculous effect of rebuilding the foundation.

Of course, this measure of how poor a master could go bankrupt should not apply to alchemists like Elder Yue, but only to those who are relatively poor, such as Elder Shen and Elder Yu.

But in any case, he was determined to obtain this Life-Giving and Creation Pill.

Although as long as he continues to improve the Void Cauldron, it is only a matter of time before his alchemy skills surpass those of the Heavenly Cauldron Immortal.

However, the formula and materials for the Life-Generating and Creation Pill are also a major hurdle, and it is probably unrealistic to expect him to refine it himself.

Elder Yue hesitated for a moment, then said, "I do know something about the Life-Giving and Creation Pill, and I should be able to exchange it for one from the Azure Sky Lineage..."

Meeting Li Yinsheng's expectant gaze, she explained, "The Life-Giving and Creation Pill is very special, with several main ingredients, all of which are extremely precious."

"The Bixiao lineage has gathered most of the ingredients, but it is still missing one main ingredient, which is why it has been unable to complete the pill for so long."

"This matter is not a secret among the alchemists of the Imperial Title True Person. Ten years ago, the Bixiao lineage had already asked alchemists from other lineages about it."

Li Yinsheng nodded: "So, Elder Yue doesn't have it here either?"

"Of course not, not even in the treasure vault of the Zhengyang lineage." Elder Yue shook his head. "Given its preciousness, if it were there, it would certainly be placed on the third floor."

"May I ask what it is?" Li Yinsheng asked.

"The Ascension Vine," Elder Yue said. "Legend has it that after a human immortal who specializes in the Wood element ascends to immortality, it may grow within a hundred miles of the place where they ascended to immortality."

"The higher the cultivation level of the immortal being who has ascended to immortality, the higher the grade of the Ascension Green Vine."

Li Yinsheng's eye twitched violently.

Ascension? The so-called ascension is just a more reverent term for the passing away of a great immortal being.

Ordinary cultivators are said to have passed away while sitting in meditation, while immortals are said to have ascended to heaven, but they should be similar in essence.

In other words, each Feathered Green Vine requires the consumption of a Human Immortal who specializes in the Wood element!

However, the lifespan of a Human Immortal is incomparable to that of a True Person with the title of Imperial Decree!
