Junior sister, I really need to control you.

Chapter 90 The Will to Cultivate, the Pill of Life and Creation

"Alright, alright, let's put this matter aside!" Shangguan Ling'er waved her hand and said, "Let's get down to business, about restoring Ningzhi's cultivation!"

She was about to speak when she suddenly stopped and looked at Li Yinsheng: "Wait, that blond girl you brought is here."

Li Yinsheng nodded, sensing that his junior sister, who had just finished bathing, was approaching.

As Mu Xiaoyu reached the door, before she could knock, Li Yinsheng spoke up: "Junior Sister, what is it you want to say? Come in and talk."

Mu Xiaoyu pushed open the door and entered, bowing to Uncle Jiang and Shangguan Ling'er.

"Greetings, Uncle-Master; greetings, Senior."

Uncle Jiang nodded in response, and Shangguan Ling'er looked at Mu Xiaoyu with great curiosity.

Mu Xiaoyu's cultivation level was very low, and she could see through this girl's background at a glance. Her talent was extremely poor, and she didn't even have any potential.

It's only because he underwent a thorough cleansing and transformation that he's still passable.

She possesses an unrefined energy that is quite pure even for a real person, likely some kind of rare and precious material given to her by Li Yinsheng.

It's strange. Ningzhi's talent goes without saying, and Li Yinsheng is an oddball among oddballs. Why did they take in this little yellow-haired girl?

Moreover, judging from Li Yinsheng's demeanor, he seems to have quite a bit of intention to cultivate her.

What gives her the right?

Although she couldn't understand it at all, Shangguan Ling'er still put on the airs of a senior, gently patted Mu Xiaoyu's head, and gave her two bottles of pills and a five-colored talisman as a greeting gift.

Mu Xiaoyu accepted the pills and talismans, bowed obediently, and the light shone on Shangguan Lingji's colorful decorations and bright face.

"Little girl, why are you staring at me like that?" Shangguan Ling'er asked with a smile.

"Senior is so beautiful! She's beautiful, and her clothes are beautiful too," Mu Xiaoyu said with some envy. "Senior is the most beautiful person I've ever seen, a hundred times more beautiful than any imperial concubine I've ever seen!"

"Hahaha————" Shangguan Ling'er covered her mouth and giggled, "This little girl has quite the unique way of praising people, actually comparing me to a mortal imperial concubine."

Li Yinsheng beckoned to Mu Xiaoyu: "Junior Sister, what brings you here?"

Mu Xiaoyu ran to Li Yinsheng's side and whispered somewhat shyly, "Senior brother, I've finished my training materials. Could you give me a few?"

"Oh!" Li Yinsheng realized.

He had promised Mu Xiaoyu on Bamboo Forest Peak that as long as she cultivated diligently, he would give her a few Refinement Fruits to eat every day.

Firstly, it can maintain her motivation to cultivate, and secondly, as long as she practices and eats enough, her spiritual sense will greatly increase, which will be helpful for the upcoming Shifeng Conference and Shaoyang Dao Examination.

However, because he could only buy a few Refined Fruits each day, Mu Xiaoyu had never asked him for any.

After leaving Bamboo Forest Peak, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't buy any more training materials, so she naturally came to him to get some.

He had a thousand Refining Fruits given to him by Huangzhu Temple as payment, as well as two thousand Refining Fruits given to him privately by Master Lang.

Of course, Master Langgan didn't send him the fruit to help him improve his spiritual sense; he simply wanted to give him some delicious fruit.

"Here you go, junior sister." Li Yinsheng handed Mu Xiaoyu five snow-white pills.

He had plenty of money and wanted to give her more, but with his junior sister's current cultivation level, five a day was already her refining limit.

Mu Xiaoyu took the practice tablet but didn't leave. Instead, she ran to her martial uncle and said, "Martial Uncle, try this! It's delicious!"

Jiang Ning was taken aback, then chuckled and took a practice pill.

Mu Xiaoyu ran to Shangguan Ling'er again.

Li Yinsheng was both amused and exasperated. He grabbed Mu Xiaoyu by the back of her collar and pulled her back, saying, "You don't need to divide it!"

A dish of alchemical refining powder flew out of his Qiankun bag and landed on the table. He smiled at Shangguan Ling'er and said, "Fellow Daoist Shangguan, try some alchemical refining powder from Huangzhu Temple."

Besides being delicious, Lian Shi (a type of medicinal substance) is of no benefit to real people, so he had never thought of using it to entertain Shangguan Ling'er.

It was Mu Xiaoyu who reminded him this time.

"Let's practice, forget it, I'm tired of it." Shangguan Ling'er shook her head repeatedly.

Before she became a true immortal, she had to eat these things every day to aid her cultivation.

Mu Xiaoyu looked at Shangguan Ling'er with even more envy.

Li Yinsheng didn't insist. He picked up a Refining Fruit and popped it into his mouth, then looked at Shangguan Ling'er: "Fellow Daoist Shangguan, regarding the matter of helping my martial uncle recover his cultivation—"

Mu Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and her face lit up with joy.

Although Uncle Jiang looks fierce, she can sense that he is actually very kind to her.

Just like the female tutors who taught her at home, they seemed cold and sarcastic on the surface, but in fact they were very concerned about her studies.

Although she hadn't heard what had happened before, it was wonderful that the senior said there was a way to restore Uncle Jiang's cultivation!

Shangguan Ling'er glanced at Mu Xiaoyu and, seeing that neither Li Yinsheng nor Jiang Ningzhi intended to drive the young girl away, spoke up directly.

"Regarding helping Ningzhi restore her cultivation, I do have some ideas. This matter still needs to be addressed by the Bixiao lineage."

""

Li Yinsheng, Jiang Ningzhi, and Mu Xiaoyu, who still didn't fully understand what had happened, all looked serious.

Jiang Ningzhi seemed a little nervous and subconsciously grasped Li Yinsheng's hand. Li Yinsheng placed his other hand on his uncle's shoulder to comfort her.

Mu Xiaoyu, on the other side, held her uncle's slightly cold hands and listened attentively.

"As you all know, the three Dao Palaces are closed year-round and will not be opened easily except for the once-every-three-hundred-years gathering of immortals."

"Not counting the three major Dao Palaces and the Supreme Elders, the cultivator with the highest level of alchemy skills in the entire Taihao Immortal Sect is the Grand Elder of the Bixiao lineage—Tian Ding Zhenren."

Shangguan Ling'er said, "Tian Ding Zhenren has been in seclusion refining pills for many years, but he has not succeeded. When my master visited the Bixiao lineage last time, he learned some news."

"The pill that True Person Tianding has been unable to complete is called the Life-Giving Creation Pill. It is recorded in an ancient pill formula that the Bixiao lineage obtained decades ago."

"Its greatest effect is that it can bring the dead back to life, heal flesh and bones, and restore all injuries to a cultivator, from the physical body to the soul, making the cultivator's soul and body seem to be reborn."

"Furthermore, during the recovery process, cultivators can take this opportunity to re-examine all their past cultivation and foundation, and correct any imperfections in their previous cultivation."

"So this Life-Giving and Creation Pill can restore my cultivation level," Li Yinsheng said.

"To be precise, it's about breaking down and rebuilding. Not only will it restore one's cultivation, but it might also allow one to condense a Dharma body!" Shangguan Ling'er said.

Mu Xiaoyu didn't understand what a Dharma form was, but she didn't dare to interrupt. She just continued to hold Jiang Ningzhi's hand and gave her a smile that said, "Uncle-Master, listen, you'll recover soon."

Li Yinsheng was not as optimistic as her. Although he had a solution, he still frowned.

"Leaving aside how precious such a divine object is, according to Fellow Daoist Shangguan, this divine pill should not have been refined yet?"

Shangguan Ling'er nodded: "Master Tianding has been in seclusion for twelve years and has yet to complete the elixir. However, I believe that the elixir will be completed sooner or later."

"Fellow Daoist Shangguan is so certain, could it be that you know some inside information?" Li Yinsheng asked.

"This matter isn't exactly inside information; many people in the Bixiao lineage know about it. True Person Tianding's Daoist partner is the fourth elder of the Bixiao lineage, who suffered a severe injury twenty years ago and nearly died."

"The Fourth Elder's condition is much worse than Ningzhi's; he is still barely surviving thanks to a special magic treasure from the Bixiao lineage."

"The reason why True Person Tianding wanted to refine this Life-Giving and Creation Pill was mainly to save his Daoist partner."

"However, because it also serves to rebuild the foundation of cultivators, the lineage values ​​it highly and spares no effort to provide True Person Tianding with all the treasures needed for alchemy."

Shangguan Ling'er said, "At that time, the Life-Giving and Creation Pill will be completed in one batch, with five to seven pills. One pill will be used first to save the Daoist partner of True Person Tianding, and the rest will be kept and distributed by the Bixiao lineage."

"With the full support of the entire lineage, the completion of this Life-Giving and Creation Pill should only be a matter of time."

"I see. With an entire lineage supporting it, it's indeed very difficult." Li Yinsheng nodded, but his brows remained furrowed.

"But even if one masters it, the Azure Cloud Dharma Lineage probably won't be easily sold or exchanged, right?"

"That's the troublesome part," Shangguan Ling'er said with a wry smile. "If it were a pill from our Zhengyang lineage, I could give it a try."

"However, the Bixiao lineage and the Zhengyang lineage belong to different Dao palaces, and there is not much friendship between them. I also have no Daoist friends in the Bixiao lineage."

"Besides, this is a pill that can help people rebuild their foundation. Even if it's not for rebuilding their foundation, it can be used to save their lives in critical moments."

"It is so precious that even the Bixiao lineage itself doesn't have enough to go around, so there's no reason for it to be easily given to other lineages."

Jiang Ningzhi remained silent for a long time before saying softly, "Besides, even if the Bixiao lineage were willing to sell or exchange it, it would probably be at an astronomical price."

"We still have to change it!" Mu Xiaoyu said instinctively, "We have to help our martial uncle recover his cultivation!"

Just as she opened her mouth, a resounding bell rang in Li Yinsheng's ears.

[The ambition of cultivation: Since the master of the cave is a disciple of Xuanzhen Temple, when his master's cultivation was completely destroyed but a glimmer of hope appeared, he should seize the opportunity!]

I obtained a Life-Giving and Creation Pill. I used this pill to restore my uncle's cultivation and help him break through his current state to rebuild his strength, turning misfortune into fortune and bringing blessings to the entire Xuanzhen Temple!

Alternatively, other methods can be found to help the master restore his cultivation, thus fulfilling his cultivation aspirations. However, if the restoration effect is not as good as the Life-Giving and Creation Pill, the reward will be deducted depending on the circumstances.

However, because his cultivation has been completely destroyed, his lifespan has been greatly shortened. We request the master of the cave to restore his cultivation or prolong his lifespan as soon as possible.

The training will be terminated once my master dies by any means, including dying of old age.

Cultivation Rewards:

The Martial Uncle was given two hundred years of cultivation as a reward for completely restoring his cultivation and rebuilding it from the ashes using the Life-Giving and Creation Pill.

He fully restored his martial uncle's cultivation through other means, but did not achieve a complete transformation; he was rewarded with eighty years of cultivation.

The martial uncle will partially restore his cultivation, and will be rewarded with cultivation points depending on the specific extent of the restoration.

Jiang Ningzhi's remaining lifespan: approximately eight years and six months.

Looking at the golden characters unfolding before him, Li Yinsheng remained expressionless, though a slight thought stirred within him.

For the first time, he didn't focus on the difficulty or the reward.

He closed his eyes so that others wouldn't notice, his gaze fixed on a point in the void—

The last line in gold indicates the remaining lifespan of Uncle Jiang.

He knew that cultivators whose cultivation had been greatly damaged would inevitably have their lifespan reduced, but he never imagined that his uncle would only have less than nine years left to live.
