Chapter 486 - 478 Precious Medicine
On the third floor balcony of the wooden building, Chen Mu sat cross-legged on the soft couch.
He attempted to summon the True Form of the Heavenly Demon, but all attempts ended in failure. He could only faintly sense the qi machine growing more vigorous. It was precisely this vigorous qi that nourished his True Form, rapidly healing his injuries.
After sensing a vague aura from the secret orifice between his eyebrows once again, Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes.
Looking up at the numerous auxiliary troops fervently constructing barracks in the distance, a realization dawned on him.
"That’s right, this aura is probably from the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed!"
The Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed coexisted with a living being, enhancing the host’s Divine Origin and even obtaining experience from the Secret Techniques practiced by the host. However, upon the host’s death, the lifetime of insights and experiences would be collected by the Spirit Seed and returned, turning into experiences for Chen Mu to grow and strengthen.
Previously, in search of a resonance point for the Mountain-Carrying Scripture, he had scattered Spirit Seeds liberally within the You character camp.
Nether Demon Heaven was already dangerous, and with the pursuit of the Blood God’s offspring, those auxiliary troops who fled the You character camp likely suffered heavy casualties.
The host’s death and the return of the Spirit Seed were the reasons for his rapid recovery.
However...
"Insights and experiences can’t heal injuries." Chen Mu squinted his eyes, "There must be other things that were absorbed into the Spirit Seed."
"Heavenly Demon, Heavenly Demon, having the word ’demon’ in it, surely it’s not that simple."
...
Several days later, by the stone table in the courtyard.
"Are the methods of a Qi Cultivator really that miraculous?" Shen Yan looked at Chen Mu, who was spiritedly devouring roast meat, his face full of surprise.
Just a few days ago, he was half-dead, finding it difficult to move, and now he’s lively and voraciously eating?
"It’s not a dying flash of vigor, is it?"
"Get lost!"
Chen Mu rolled his eyes but didn’t elaborate further.
The matter of the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed was somewhat nefarious, and he felt it was better not to let too many people know about it.
After the meal, the Five Ghosts little paper man manipulated the black smoke to clean up the messy cups and dishes. Holding a cup of Replenishing Origin Soup, Chen Mu squinted at the numerous Yin Spirits busily laying foundations in the distance, "What do you think, what are the chances of these five or six thousand auxiliary troops launching the Netherworld Ferry within Thousand Lanterns City, and returning to the Netherworld?"
"Are you still thinking of using Fengdu to return to the mortal world?" Shen Yan realized it in his heart.
He didn’t understand before why Chen Mu was so adamant about returning to the Yang Realm, but now he got it.
This guy was not dead at all and was a Qi Cultivator, of course he didn’t want to stay in the Netherworld.
"It can be done, but there’s probably considerable risk." Shen Yan shook his head.
"Nether Demon Heaven is a place Beyond Heaven, separated from the Netherworld by an unknown expanse of void. Purely relying on a blood sacrifice to launch the Netherworld Ferry is crude and ultimately too dangerous."
Chen Mu fell silent unwillingly. Was he to stay in the Nether Demon Heaven after all?
For an instant, a flicker of panic and unease crossed his heart as he felt like a kite with its string cut.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the impatience and unease in his heart: "If these five or six thousand Yin Spirits were a bit stronger, would that reduce the risk?"
"Certainly," Shen Yan nodded affirmatively.
"Launching the Netherworld Ferry by blood sacrifice, the sacrificial offerings provide the Spirit Mechanism and power, while the Yin Spirits are the vessels."
"The stronger the Yin Spirits, the more stable and substantial the vessel. The more Spirit Mechanisms they can carry, the safer the teleportation process."
"Then let’s train!" Chen Mu glared maliciously at the distant Yin Spirits: "If it doesn’t work in one year, then two; if not two, then five. If that’s not enough, I’ll spend ten or twenty years."
"Once I train all these guys into Yin Soldiers, and with five or six thousand Yin Soldiers casting it at the same time, there will likely be no risk with the Netherworld Ferry."
"That would indeed greatly reduce the risk," Shen Yan looked sympathetically at the auxiliary troops not far away. With them being targeted by this ruthless demon, those Yin Spirits were in for some difficult days ahead.
The many Yin Spirits, which were leisurely chatting and goofing around, simultaneously felt a chill at their necks as if they had caught the attention of some monster.
...
Nether Demon Heaven was boundless, and without specific coordinates, Chen Mu could not find other camps in Antiquity City. To return to the Netherworld, he could only rely on the Netherworld Ferry.
To ensure safety, he had to first strengthen the ability of the auxiliary troops in Thousand Lanterns City, a task that could only be carried out gradually, step by step, with no way to rush it.
Chen Mu decided to slow down, patiently waiting for things to unfold, and thereby, his heart was no longer anxious or unsettled.
Thinking back on his previous worries, he shook his head: "Even if I can’t return to the Netherworld or the Yang Realm, it’s not a big deal."
He could gather Jade Dew to stave off hunger and could hunt demons in Nether Demon Heaven, so food and drink were not a concern. Moreover, with the existence of Thousand Lanterns City, his safety was sufficiently ensured.
Whether he returned to the Netherworld or the Yang Realm, for him, it was just changing locations to gain experience.
"Where to grind experience doesn’t really matter." Chen Mu shrugged his shoulders.
"Can’t return to the Yang Realm, no Earth Spirit Vital Energy, a Qi Cultivator really can’t continue using the Secret Technique to push through, but this doesn’t affect the cultivation of the True Form of Heavenly Demon.
"Even if there’s nothing left to practice for the True Form of Heavenly Demon, I can still go grind some Nether Demon Heaven Secret Techniques."
"Hm… not to mention, that Blood God Scripture is pretty cool." Chen Mu thought cheerfully.
Once his mind settled, Chen Mu discussed with Shen Yan how to systematically improve the auxiliary soldiers’ strength while he rested in tranquility, waiting for his body to fully recover.
Recovery from his physical injuries was swift; in just half a month, he was back to peak condition. He also replenished his mana rapidly, sparing no expense of White Jade Coins.
The True Form of Heavenly Demon still showed no reaction, apart from a gradually burgeoning vitality. No matter how he called out to it, there was no response, so all he could do was wait patiently.
…
"To awaken divine abilities and achieve Enlightened Heart Seeing the Divine in ordinary Yin Spirits, there are actually just two things required," Shen Yan said confidently: "One is eating, and the other is refining, refining with fire."
"Whether it’s green flame or phosphorus fire, both are used to burn away the impurities of the Yin Spirits, to refine the essence and reveal the innate divine abilities."
"But this process will greatly deplete their origins, so they need to eat, they need to replenish their origins."
"Jade Dew?" Chen Mu suddenly understood.
Based on his experience with practicing the Flight of Flame Scripture, he knew that Jade Dew contained a large amount of essence, which could quickly replenish the depleted origin of Yin Spirits.
"I’m afraid that’s not quite enough," Shen Yan said, shaking his head.
"Jade Dew is only suitable for ordinary Yin Spirits to practice step by step."
"Antiquity City once did a survey; it takes about fifty-three years for ordinary Yin Spirits to develop a Ghost Pattern through Enlightened Heart Seeing the Divine."
"Can you wait?" Shen Yan glanced at Chen Mu.
"It’s not that I can’t wait, I just don’t think it’s quite worth it." Chen Mu shrugged.
Although he was not as eager to return to the Netherworld, he preferred to speed up the process rather than waste time.
Shen Yan nodded indifferently: "With the Three Yin Phosphorus Fire Curse, the step of fire refinement isn’t a problem. You need to create Precious Medicine for them to quickly replenish their origins."
"Precious Medicine? The decoctions that the Medicine Stone Sect prepares?" Chen Mu took an interest.
Previously, it was the special decoction of Precious Medicine from the Medicine Stone Sect that had saved his life.
It was a kind of pill peculiar to the Netherworld, developed based on the Forgetfulness River, used for the Transmission Secret Method of Soul-Departing Soup, which is actually a type of Precious Medicine.
"Thousand Lanterns City is lacking the necessary materials, and even with the help of the Yin Spirits from the Medicine Stone Sect, they probably can’t provide it on a large scale," Shen Yan shook his head, then meaningfully pointed towards the wooden cup in Chen Mu’s hands: "I’m talking about this kind of Precious Medicine in your hands."
Replenishing Origin Soup?
Chen Mu was instantly curious.
This stuff is Precious Medicine?
"The Cai Yuan Department has a Secret Technique called Three Turns Soul Capturing Curse, which can absorb the essence of the Demons Three Treasures.
"After refinement by the Medicine Stone Sect, that essence can become a type of Precious Medicine known as Awakening Spirit Soup. That stuff can replenish Yin Spirits’ origins and is essential medicine for the Yin soldier camp."
"If it can repair the damage of Yin soldiers, then naturally it can refill the origin depleted by ordinary Yin Spirits from fire refinement, thereby shortening their recovery time and speeding up the practice of Ghost Patterns."
"And the concoction in your hands is even very attractive to me, clearly indicating it is a Precious Medicine even better than Awakening Spirit Soup."
"So…" Shen Yan raised his eyebrows.
Chen Mu looked surprised at the liquid inside the wooden cup.
Replenishing Origin Soup, to the Yin Spirits, was actually a very high-end Precious Medicine? This was indeed beyond Chen Mu’s expectations.
He couldn’t help but think back to an experience years ago on Jilong Road.
At that time, a senior brother surnamed Liu worshipped an Evil God and turned himself into a state very similar to that of a Yin Spirit. The other party had then shown an extreme eagerness to devour the Replenishing Origin Soup. Stay connected with NovelBin.Côm
"Seven Turns Banquet Primordial Curse…" Chen Mu couldn’t help but look at a section on the gray wall.
This Cursing Method originated from cooking skills and had always been used to help him fortify his foundation and supplement Divine Orifice refinement instead of Rejuvenation Pills. He hadn’t expected that it would now also accelerate the cultivation of Yin Spirits.
Thinking of this, Chen Mu couldn’t help but reveal a smile.
"So, I still have to keep grinding at cooking."
"Who knows? One day it might bring about a surprising bonus."
"Ha ha…"
What do you think?
