Become Eternals

Very Thorough

Bai Xiaochun lay there, in the courtyard, filled with his obsessiveness. His body ached, yet he somehow knew that his skin was tougher than before. It made him wish more than ever to become an apothecary.

After lying there in the courtyard for more than an hour, the trembling and painful feeling finally faded. Bai Xiaochun crawled into a cross-legged position, eyes flickering as he patted his bag to produce medicinal pills and medicinal incense.

Upon closer inspection, he took a deep breath, glanced around stealthily, then returned to the wooden cabin, where he once again took out a turtle frying pan.

“I can take this medicinal pill as is. But after I made a spirit enhancement, it should be able to break through my cultivation base from the third level Qi Condensation to the fourth level. It's a pity that two-color firewood is so expensive. The oven had a few, but I was no longer the waiter there anymore, which made things complicated. ” Xiaochun's bai excitement about medicinal pills continues to grow. After a bit of thought, he stopped his doubts and took out a single-coloured firewood.

“I will only do basic upgrades! That's good enough! ” He quickly ignited the firewood, and the resulting one-color fire caused the design of the first turtle pan to light up. He opened the bottle of medicinal pills and poured out the three medicinal pills it contained, all of which were as big as a longan fruit.

After performing three spirit improvements, a flickering silver design could be seen on the surface of the medicinal pill. He also increased the green incense. In the end, he sat there looking at the four different spirit medicines that he had done a basic upgrade. Finally, he placed an incense stick in front of him and then inserted three medicinal pills into his mouth.

Then he checked the images in the manual of the Violet Qi Cauldron Control Art, and followed the mnemonic as he began to practice cultivation. Immediately, the spiritual energy in his body boiled. He could now maintain his posture longer than before, and he could feel his cultivation base rising rapidly.

After the time it took to burn the incense, a small river of spiritual energy within him flowed through his body, and he could feel that he was approaching a breakthrough to the fourth level of Qi Condensation.

“I only need to hold for a hundred breaths, and I can break through!” He gritted his teeth while continuing to maintain the posture in the fourth image. His body swelled up so much that he felt like a ball, and the sound of cracks could be heard within him. Sweat dripped from his body.

It was at this point that spiritual energy began to diminish. Bai Xiaochun's eyes narrowed in concentration, and he blew a mouthful of spiritual energy into the green incense stick in front of him.

As soon as the spiritual energy touched the green incense stick, it lit up, causing the green smoke tendrils to swirl like green snakes. They flew through the air, entered Bai Xiaochun's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, and then turned into powerful spiritual energy. In a few moments, the river of spiritual energy within him had multiplied.

Rumbling could be heard as shock waves like wind shot out from Bai Xiaochun, spreading through the cabin and then into the courtyard. His eyes were open, and shining with pleasure.

“Fourth level of Qi Condensation!” he shouted while laughing.

He could immediately feel spiritual energy surging through him, carrying a powerful life force. He felt more agile, and when he looked down, he saw black dirt covering his entire body. It would be the dirt inside his body that had just been forced out.

His body flickered as he floated out of the wooden cabin. After tidying up the courtyard slightly, he stood there feeling extremely excited. He quickly made a spell move and waved his finger, causing his wooden sword to fly out of his bag containing a beam of light.

He sent him flying back and forth, his eyes shining with satisfaction. That wooden sword was already incredible, but now combined with the cultivation base of the fourth level of Qi Condensation, it had a more conspicuous air.

“Enhancement is quite awesome. It would be great if I could use a three-colored flame. Such a medicinal pill would be amazing! ” The more he thought about it, the more magical spirit medicines there were. Regardless of whether it was in pill or incense form, it was definitely an absolute necessity to practice cultivation.

“I will definitely be an amazing pharmacist! I'm going to make a Live-Forever Never-Die pill! Then I will increase it tenfold – no, wait, I will increase it a hundredfold! ” Bai Xiaochun's desire to become an apothecary is getting stronger. Suddenly, he slapped his handbag to produce a jade slip.

It was none other than the jade slip given to him by Hou Yunfei when they went to the 10,000 Medicinal Pavilion together. Inside is a picture of 10,000 species of plants and plants. Only Fragrant Cloud Peak possessed this type of ancient record, and it was something that all apprentice apothecaries had to master.

Of course, only 10,000 types of plants and plants are just the beginning. According to Hou Yunfei, after memorizing it, you can get another volume.

With an expression of determination, he circulated his spiritual energy, and images of various kinds of plants and herbs appeared in his mind. He was filled with a strange feeling, as if a new page of life had opened in front of him. There were even descriptions of medicinal plants needed to exchange for Longevity Enhancing Pills.

After examining the contents of the jade slip, he realized that memorizing each of the 10,000 items would not be too difficult. However, he was not just any old man. His goal was to become a great apothecary who could concoct the Live-Forever Never-Die Pill.

The ruthless determination hidden in his personality once again exploded. This was not just memorizing a simple list; he had to carefully observe all the details of each type of medicinal plant. Only after comprehending the plant completely could he proceed to the next plant.

Back when he was under such pressure because of Xu Baocai, he had been practicing cultivation crazily for half a year. Now, with greater aspirations, something similar happened.

He studied medicinal plants down to the smallest detail, until he could close his eyes and remember each other's images.

However, he still felt that it was not enough, and hoped that he could learn the actual item to complete his research. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about it. All he could do was carefully scrutinize what he had, including the shape of the leaves and the pattern of the veins.

After that, he still did not feel confident enough. Furthermore, he studied the tiny hairs growing on the plant, and even the tiny pore-like holes underneath.

Time pass. Soon, a month had passed. During that time, he spent every day practicing the fourth level of the Violet Qi Cauldron Control Art, and became much more comfortable with his cultivation base. At the same time, he had not forgotten his Eternal Life Technique. Every day, he endured the pain as he ran around his courtyard to practice it, simultaneously memorizing the plants and herbs from the jade slip. Unfortunately, the jade slip did not have a table of contents, so he was not sure how many he had memorized so far.

In addition to exercising in his yard, he often stopped by the spirit fields in the corner, where he had grown ten medicinal herbs.

These ten plants were Spiritwinter Bamboo. He had gone to Stele Mission disciple of the Fragrant Cloud Peak Outer Sect half a month before and chose a simple and harmless mission to obtain it.

Bai Xiaochun did not dare to forget what Li Qinghou had told him. The sect disciples needed to complete at least one mission every half year; it was the sect rule that was firmly instilled in Bai Xiaochun's mind.

The merit point rewards for this mission were very significant, and could actually be higher depending on how many items were handed over in the end. It was a simple mission, but it required a bit of a waste of time; he had to take care of the plants for three months before he could give up his mission.

Of course, the Winter Bamboo could be catalyzed by the spiritual energy of a cultivator, which would make it grow faster. Unfortunately, Bai Xiaochun did not have time to test that method, and had just planted a seed in his spirit field as soon as he returned.

“You are growing very slowly,” he said as he gazed at the spirit field. From the description on the jade slip, he knew that Spiritwinter Bamboo required a lot of spiritual energy to grow properly. If the ground where it grew up did not have strong spiritual energy, then cultivators would need to add spiritual energy personally.

He crouched down and took out a handful of soil from the spirit field. After a while, he murmured, “I'm sure this spirit field doesn't have enough spiritual energy, and that's why the Winter Bamboo grows so slowly.

“What can I do to get the spiritual energy of the spirit field to be a little stronger.?” After a moment of thought, his expression shone, and he reached out his right hand, which in it manifested a turtle wok.

He looked at the frying pan, and then returned to the spirit field, and his eyes began to shine.

“If this frying pan can improve anything, then .. I should be able to do spirit enhancement in the spirit land, right?” Feeling very curious all of a sudden, he immediately dug up the Spiritwinter Bamboo seed, then filled the turtle wok with spirit soil and took out a one-color piece of firewood to conduct the test.

Immediately, the silver light flashed, and the spirit ground inside the turtle frying pan shone with a basic spirit enhancement design. The light quickly faded away, but the spirit land clearly emitted a spiritual energy that was much stronger than before.

Bai Xiaochun was very pleased. Not feeling a little uncomfortable at all, he quickly began to raise one after another the spirit land. After more than an hour had passed, when he had just run out of one-color firewood, the entire spirit field had benefited from the improvement of the basic spirit.

Of course, it was just the top of the ground. He didn't have enough firewood to take it down. Therefore, since there was no foundation for the spirit land, after some time had passed, the land would gradually return to normal.

Even so, the current spiritual energy in the spirit field had undergone a transformation that shook Heaven, dropped Earth, and was so powerful that it caused the fragrant scent to swirl around.

Bai Xiaochun immediately planted the Spiritwinter Bamboo seed again, then stood by the side watching. It doesn't take long before some small shoots appear and start growing quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was nearly a meter tall. In fact, if the disciples in the sect who were adept at growing medicinal herbs saw what happened, they would definitely gasp. Even if a cultivator skillfully fed the plants with spiritual energy, they would not grow so fast.

After all.no one in the cultivation world has ever been that luxurious doing spirit enhancement on the ground, all of them aiming to cultivate ten Winter Bamboo rods….

Even a famous grandmaster of spirit enhancement would never think of doing such a thing; it was too much of a waste.

Seeing that the Winter Bamboo was now growing well, Bai Xiaochun felt very happy. He turned around and continued running around the courtyard, simultaneously studying the plants and herbs on the jade slip.

The sun went down, and the sky went dark. Considering that the Spiritwinter Bamboo trunk had grown taller than a meter, and it still did not seem to have reached its maximum height, it was hard to tell how tall they were in three months….

That night, Bai Xiaochun finally laid down the jade. After a ruthless hard work, he had finally completely memorized 10,000 kinds of plants and herbs. He even found some areas in the description of medicinal plants that revealed how they were at odds with other medicinal plants.

“Tomorrow morning, I will take the second volume about plants and plants. I wonder what the tests in the 10,000 Medicine Pavilion will look like. Can I really graduate? ”

Bai Xiaochun adjusted his chin and flicked his sleeves. He had just planned on saying a few bold and bold words, but then, could not help feeling a little anxious. Cleansing his throat, he picked up the jade slip again and began to study again. He could not shake the fear that some problems would appear in the exam.
