Douluo Continent: Becoming the God of Nature Starting from Farming

"Eat slowly, it's a little hot," Xiao Ze said with a touch of indulgence.

I pushed the warm milk toward her hand, my fingers inadvertently brushing against her slightly cool wrist.

Ning Rongrong nodded, her cheeks puffed out with shrimp shumai, her beautiful eyes curving into crescents.

The porcelain spoon in my hand struck the porcelain bowl, making a crisp sound.

Xiao Ze put down his chopsticks, propped his chin up, and looked at her lively eyebrows and small mouth.

Watching Ning Rongrong eat is a very enjoyable thing. Ning Rongrong seems not to be afraid of gaining weight and keeps eating delicious food.

He would occasionally scald the tip of his tongue with the soup from the crab roe dumplings, and the way he would hurriedly stick out his pink tongue and blow on it made him chuckle.

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes dramatically and continued working on her breakfast.

There were some crumbs at the corners of her mouth, making her look somewhat charming and cute.

After he finished eating, Xiao Ze, as if possessed, wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth with a tissue.

Suddenly, both he and Ning Rongrong were stunned.

Last night, although Ning Rongrong was pretending to be asleep, the two of them were not face to face, so she did not have such a strange feeling.

Xiao Ze coughed lightly: "I saw some crumbs on the corner of your mouth, so I wiped them off for you."

"Oh~~" Ning Rongrong's smile was very sweet, and her big eyes blinked, making Xiao Ze a little embarrassed.

"Alright." Xiao Ze slowly stood up. "Rongrong, I have something to do today, so I might not be able to stay with you."

"It's alright, I need to cultivate anyway." Although Ning Rongrong felt it was a bit of a pity, Xiao Ze had important matters to attend to, and she couldn't hold him back.

"Ah."

Xiao Ze took the bowl and went to the kitchen to prepare the food.

"I am coming too."

Ning Rongrong followed Xiao Ze happily into the kitchen.

The two of them slowly washed the porcelain bowl clean.

Xiao Ze was somewhat surprised that Ning Rongrong, this young lady, was so serious about washing dishes.

I just don't know why I blushed.

Ning Rongrong felt that she and Xiao Ze were now somewhat like an old married couple.

We eat breakfast together and wash the dishes together.

Later on, they can cultivate together, and even... go to bed together.

/(//o/ω/o//)/

Just as Ning Rongrong was lost in thought...

Xiao Ze entered an empty room and placed the Qiankun Furnace on the ground.

"God of Agriculture, we shall begin refining the elixir."

"Alright, before I start refining the pills, I need to tell you the steps involved. Although you've seen me refine pills before, I do it very quickly, so you probably didn't see it clearly."

"Okay." Xiao Ze became serious.

"Alchemy mainly involves five steps, and each step is very important."

Material selection, tempering, soul infusion, and two condensation processes.

Chapter 76 The Arduous Alchemy Process

"These are the five most basic steps. We'll start with selecting the ingredients. However, the steps for each pill may not be the same, and they also depend on one's own abilities."

The main ingredients of the Rejuvenating Pill are Blue Silver Grass, Tranquilizing Flower, and Star Dew Grass.

"Blue Silver Grass is considered a medicinal herb?" Xiao Ze was taken aback.

"How can it not count? Blue Silver Grass loses its spirituality before it reaches ten years old, so it is not considered a soul beast. However, the life energy it contains is still quite good. The more of it, the better the effect."

"I see." Xiao Ze never imagined that Blue Silver Grass could be used for alchemy.

"The three medicinal herbs must meet certain standards before they can be used to refine the elixir. You may begin the inspection."

Xiao Ze nodded slightly, and used his mental power to pin the three medicinal herbs in mid-air.

Although his mental strength after consuming the crops couldn't compare to that of a spirit master, he could still manage to control the herbs in a simple way.

Xiao Ze closed his eyes and concentrated, his soul power extending out like a thread.

The tips of the Blue Silver Grass leaves trembled slightly as threads of soul power entered its body.

"It has small insect holes, its life energy is constantly being lost, and it shows signs of being eroded by impurities. It cannot be used."

"This calming flower emits a cool vibration, and the edges of its petals have pale gold patterns. It is up to standard."

"The fluorescence at the roots of the stardew grass is dim, indicating insufficient moonlight; discard it."

Xiao Ze spent a quarter of an hour selecting medicinal herbs that could be used to refine fifty doses of Rejuvenation Pills.

These medicinal herbs are of very low value and are relatively easy to use.

"Xiao Ze, if you can finish refining the Rejuvenation Pill, you can add wheat or pork to it and refine it together."

"This is possible?" Xiao Ze was taken aback.

Have you forgotten what I said?

"It's not the energy itself that's important, but the special energy itself!" Xiao Ze suddenly realized.

"Yes."

Xiao Ze suddenly realized that the essence of alchemy is actually to fuse various special energies into a more special composite energy.

Wheat and pork are certainly acceptable; the resulting Rejuvenating Pill will naturally be more effective.

"Next, we will begin the refining process. The core ability of refining is to unravel the complexities and process these medicinal materials into the form we need."

The most important thing is to be meticulous, meticulous, and meticulous again. "The God of Agriculture emphasized this point.

"clear."

"Transform your soul power into needles, pierce the main stem of the Blue Silver Grass, and extract three strands of life energy," the God of Agriculture commanded.

Xiao Ze took a deep breath, and soul power flowed slowly in his right hand. His control over soul power was not weak, but it was still very difficult to succeed.

The first attempt with the Soul Needle was too thick, tearing the Blue Silver Grass fibers and disrupting the structure of its life energy, resulting in failure.

The second Soul Needle was too thin, making it very difficult to control; the needle tip was too soft and couldn't penetrate the Blue Silver Grass's body.

the third time……

the fourth time……

It wasn't until the seventh time that Xiao Ze finally managed to perfectly insert the Soul Needle into the Blue Silver Grass.

"Not bad." The God of Agriculture nodded slightly. Xiao Ze's talent was indeed quite strong, much better than his own back then. He had practiced for half a day when he was refining pills.

"Use the frequency of soul power vibration to bring out life energy."

Xiao Ze held his breath and began to operate. Two seconds later, he found that his soul power control was insufficient and it was difficult to stabilize the frequency.

Suddenly, he thought of mental power and began to use it to stabilize his soul power.

Seeing this, the God of Agriculture nodded. Although it was somewhat of a trick, it was still quite good.

By the time the calming flowers and star dew plants were finished, it was already afternoon.

"The third step is soul infusion. Pour the processed medicinal liquid into the alchemy furnace. When infusing soul power, it should be like a long, continuous stream. This is also a very good time for you to cultivate your soul power control."

Xiao Ze placed his large hand on the Qiankun Furnace and began to slowly inject soul power, which gradually seeped into the medicinal liquid through the furnace.

The first five minutes were fine, but the longer it went on, the more difficult it became for Xiao Ze to control, and the injection of soul power began to fluctuate like a wave.

"Think about how that life energy entered your body when you were practicing your cultivation techniques?" the God of Agriculture reminded you.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ze suddenly realized that he was all too familiar with the process of life energy entering his body.

Having cultivated myself for so many years, how could I not understand?

The rhythmic frequency of life energy in his mind slowly appeared, and Xiao Ze gradually controlled his soul power to match the frequency, and his soul power gradually stabilized.

The medicinal liquid inside the alchemy furnace began to gleam.

And it seemed to have been compressed; the original half bowl of medicine now only contained one-tenth of it.

"Begin the first pill condensation. Use your soul power and mental power to shrink the medicinal liquid into a pill embryo."

Xiao Ze took a deep breath and mobilized the surging soul power in his dantian.

Soul power traveled along the meridians and gathered in the palm.

At the same time, Xiao Ze's spiritual power emerged from his sea of ​​consciousness like an invisible thread, trembling slightly in the air.

Seeing this, the God of Agriculture retrieved the Red Serpent from Xiao Ze's spiritual sea.

"ignition."

Chi Lian nodded and began to heat the Qiankun Furnace.

The God of Agriculture was speechless. This kid had started refining pills without even having a flame. How careless!

The medicinal liquid churned and swirled in the alchemy furnace, its luster constantly shifting, and mist carrying the fragrance of the medicine rose up.

Seeing this, Xiao Ze transformed his soul power into an invisible hand, reaching into the pill furnace and beginning to gather the scattered medicinal liquid.

Mental energy acts like a fine net, carefully enveloping each drop of medicine to prevent it from escaping.

As soul power and spiritual power continued to enter, the medicinal liquid underwent obvious changes. The dispersed liquid gradually began to shrink, and its color became increasingly concentrated.

The violently churning medicinal liquid gradually subsided, slowly condensing into a small, embryo-like object in the center of the alchemy furnace.

A faint halo shimmered on the surface of the embryonic elixir, and the aroma of medicine filled the room.

Even Ning Rongrong could smell the medicinal fragrance from outside.

"Mmm...it smells so good." Ning Rongrong followed the scent to Xiao Ze's door.

"What is Xiao Ze doing in there? This smells like medicinal pills." As the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong had taken quite a few medicinal pills since she was a child.
