The Desire to Be Eternal

Chapter 73: Who Did This !?

Sighing, Bai Xiaochun left the residence of Hou Yunfei and returned to his own courtyard. He looked at the sky, then went around in the surrounding scenery, and thought about the cultivator clan. In his opinion, his elder brother Sect Leader had acted a little domineering, yet .. although it was now impossible to collect any more gifts, there was at least no need to return the gifts he had already taken.

"Yes! It wasn't my fault! This was the mistake of the Dharmik decree of the Sect Leader Brother Sect! " Having reached this point in his thinking, Bai Xiaochun felt a little better. After arranging all the gifts, he went to the market to purchase a large amount of medicinal plant materials for tier-2 spirit medicines. Then, he returned to the Medicine Making Pavilion to continue his cultivation and concocting work.

The truth was that at first, Zheng Yuandong did not want to get involved in this matter with Bai Xiaochun and the clan of cultivators. However, the event took place in a surprising way. The previous nine Prestige disciples were all granted their titles posthumously, after being killed in battle. Furthermore, they were all members of various other cultivator clans. Although none of them had ever had direct descendants, they all had relatives among their various clans. Because of this, no problems had ever appeared, and their clan smoothly turned into the Prestige clan.

Of course, this sect was highly valued and also protected such a clan.

But now, Bai Xiaochun was a living Prestige disciple, a frightening status to say the least. At first, it was unclear, and time just passed. Zheng Yuandong and many others had never thought much about what it meant to have Prestige descendants living in their midst, and how attractive such a person was to a clan of peasants.

But then, clan cultivators started to appear in large numbers. At first, Zheng Yuandong had only observed the incident. As far as he was concerned, it did not matter which clan Bai Xiaochun chose. How could he imagine that with all the competition, the clan would go to great lengths to offer their clan daughter as a servant, just to get someone with Bai Xiaochun's bloodline?

Zheng Yuandong could only imagine what would happen if Bai Xiaochun succumbed to temptation. If that happened ..it wouldn't be long before he could become a father to hundreds of descendants. According to the rules of the clan, all first generation descendants of Prestige disciples were automatically allowed to enter the Inner Sect, and would receive special treatment and training. Furthermore... once that lineage starts to spread, there will be hundreds of branches of the Prestige clan. In a few hundred years, the entire Spirit Stream Sect would be filled with the Bai Clan …. The end result will be very bad.

Other than all that .. as long as Bai Xiaochun remained alive, all he had to do was continue to father the descendants, and this matter would never end. He would be a nightmare for the sect.

Due to such considerations, Zheng Yuandong held an emergency meeting with the elders of the sect, including the main elders. Their mutual decision was that Bai Xiaochun could not accept the Daoist couple for a hundred years. Although somewhat arrogant, Zheng Yuandong felt that there was no other choice. He did not want to risk everything on Bai Xiaochun's ability to resist temptation. He could only hope that after a hundred years, Bai Xiaochun would grow up and be a little more mature.

Time pass. Soon, a year had passed.

During that time, it was as if Bai Xiaochun had disappeared from the southern edge. Few people have ever seen it. He spent all his time concocting medicines and practicing cultivation. He rarely left the Medicine Concocting Pavilion, where he worked hard to produce 2nd level spirit medicines.

His cultivation base was also slowly making progress. Immediately, he was in the middle of the seventh level of Qi Condensation. Moreover, he resolved one problem after another in concocting 2nd level spirit medicines.

The truth was that most of the other day-worker apothecaries at his level would have long since concocted tier 2 medicines. But Bai Xiaochun was stubborn, and refused to start concocting another batch without first resolving any problems he had found in the previous batch.

Finally, after an entire year, he was finally convinced that he had solved all the problems regarding the tier-2 spirit medicinal herbs. With all the problems gone, he started another batch.

"Pil Violet Qi Spirit Ascension!" she cried, her eyes red. They were tier 2 medicinal pills that were suitable for the eighth level of Qi Condensation and below. Following his recipe precisely, he selected different types of plants and herbs, arranged them carefully, and then began to put them into the pill furnace.

After carefully adjusting the ground flames, he kept an eye on the pill furnace, occasionally adjusting the spiritual energy he was eating inside. After six hours had passed, the pill furnace suddenly began to tremble. A strong medicinal fragrance floated out, and Bai Xiaochun's eyes began to shine brightly. Leaning against the pill furnace, he slapped it on the side, where three red medicinal pills flew out.

"It worked!" he exclaimed excitedly. Grabbing the three pills, he looked at them. But then, his eyes widened. "eeee? Waita minute. Something's not right. According to the description, the Violet Qi Spirit Ascension Pill should be purple in color. Why is this red? ”

After scratching his head for a moment, he lifted the pill to his nose and inhaled deeply. The aroma of medicine was strong, and it contained a lot of spiritual energy. However, the smell was a bit strange, and considering the color was wrong, he did not dare to consume it.

Sitting there thoughtfully, he thought back to the various steps he had taken during the concocting process. Two hours later, his eyes opened, and he laughed bitterly.

“I put too much superagate flower pollen. It stained the rest of the medicinal plant materials, producing this strange side effect. ” With that, he put the three red medicinal pills to the side, and once again began to concoct.

This time, when the pill furnace began to tremble, and the medicinal fragrance spread out, one purple medicinal pill flew out. After examining it closely, an expression of deep satisfaction appeared on Bai Xiaochun's face.

He quickly started another batch. In the following days, he continued to produce more, until he had several dozen Violet Spirit Ascension Qi Pills. When he finished, he sat down at the side, exhausted. After taking a break, he made a red pill and looked at her doubtfully. As far as he was concerned, each and every pill he had just concocted was precious, and furthermore, when it came to ingredients, he had already started to run out.

“According to the instructions concocted, as long as the pill is formed, it is considered as a success. This red Violet Qi Spirit Ascension Pill had too much superagate flower pollen, which caused its color to change. However, all of that means that they will lose some effectiveness. " After hesitating for a moment, he slapped his bag to produce a green bamboo needle.

It was an item he obtained from the sect to use in concocting medicines, which could be used to make a general assessment of whether the medicinal pills given were poisonous or not. After carefully inserting the needle into one of the red medicinal pills, he waited for a while, then pulled it back. The bamboo needle looks exactly the same as before, not black.

"Not toxic!" he said with a sigh of relief. However, due to caution, he still chose not to consume the red pill. Instead, he held them in hand as he left the Medicine Making Pavilion. Outside in the air of dawn, he started walking down one of the small paths that pierced through the sect.

Above, he could see a flock of five-colored phoenixes gliding gracefully through the air, occasionally making piercing cries that echoed out. Ignoring the phoenix, he heads to one of the local spirit-tailed chicken farms, where he acquires a spirit-tailed chicken. After returning to his courtyard, he put down the chicken and then threw one of the red medicinal pills in front of him.

The spirit tail chicken originally sitting there looked rather tired. But then he saw the red medicinal pill. A tremor ran through it, and it suddenly jumped to its feet, rushing forward and pecking towards the pill.

However, it was at this exact moment that an extremely powerful cry sounded from above. Then, a strong wind blew, and before the spirit-tailed chicken could reach the pill, it was thrown off its feet.

Looking with disdain at the tail spirit chicken that had been blown to the side, the phoenix then flew gracefully into the air. Bai Xiaochun was unsure whether to laugh or cry. With wide eyes, he could do nothing but watch as the phoenix ascended upwards.

However, after flying for only a short period of time, the elegant phoenix began to tremble, and then roared long. His eyes became red as they were filled with blood vessels. All of his fur suddenly stood upright, making him seem like a fireball that was about to explode.

What is even more surprising is that the strong male phoenix muscles begin to swell and ripple. A cracking sound rang out as the entire phoenix grew larger. Most notable of all was how the hairy area between his legs suddenly squashed out with something hard and stem-like ….

An extremely strange expression was seen on the face of the male phoenix as he looked around at the other phoenix.

Another phoenix trembled, and was almost scattered, as the male phoenix attacked furiously towards them. Next, miserable screams began to ring.

Bai Xiaochun stood there in his courtyard, staring in shock as the bulging male phoenix. Moments later, without any strings attached, the phoenix turned towards him, its eyes burning as red as before, its entire body seemed to be filled with flames.

Frightened, Bai Xiaochun fled, barely able to resist shouting.

Thankfully, the phoenix was actually targeting, not him, but the tail spirit chicken ….

Immediately after, he watched the male phoenix fly back to the top of the mountain, shouting loudly all the way. Only then did Bai Xiaochun wipe the sweat on his forehead.

"Quite scary ..." he thought, while staring at the two remaining medicinal pills he was holding. "What kind of medicinal pill is this!?!?" His heart started pounding when he realized that they must be some kind of aphrodisiac. Obviously ... they are also very effective.

**

That day was a day that the disciples of Fragrant Cloud Peak would never forget….

All the birds on the mountain, whatever the breed, were corrupted by the phoenix Elder Zhou…. Countless disciples watched as one bird after another let out a pitiful cry. Although the birds tried their hardest to escape, none of them were a match for Elder Zhou's phoenix. No one managed to escape ….

The evil phoenix did not even spare the spirit-tailed chicken, let alone the other birds that Elder Zhou had raised. Anything on the mountain with wings .. had a living nightmare that day.

All the disciples were talking about this matter, and their hearts trembled. Soon, news spread to Violet Cauldron Peak and Green Crest Peak. Some people even come to see magical events happening for themselves.

“Did you hear that on Fragrant Cloud Peak, one of Elder Zhou's phoenixes went crazy? It started pouncing on any bird it saw…. ”

“I saw it with my own eyes. What a savage phoenix! It doesn't even spare passing crows …. "

“Only what Elder Zhou did, huh? How could he let his phoenix act like that …? ”

"That really sucks, you know? The Phoenix looked extremely excited! It pounced on some of the birds over and over again. That's brutal! "

When Bai Xiaochun heard the talk around the sect, he started to tremble, and even felt a little guilty.

"It wasn't my fault .." she told herself. "It's really not my fault ... I tried to give the pill to the tail spirit chicken …. The phoenix stole it! ” Feeling wronged, he rushed back to the Medicine Making Pavilion. After some thought, he came to the conclusion that it was impossible for anyone to know what was happening.

There he sat in the Medicine Conferred Pavilion, sighing as he took out the remaining two red medicinal pills, which he then looked at in seriousness.

“Pil this drug is actually very strong. Maybe I can use it as a trump card in a fight …. If I encounter some ferocious beasts in the future, I have nothing to fear.

“Well, if I want to use it as a trump card, then I better make another pill that can incite intense desire in women. The two can complement each other. ” Bai Xiaochun could imagine how two pills could work together. If he were to encounter some dangerous ferocious beasts in the future, he would simply throw the pills in one direction and then run off in the other.

It was an exciting prospect, but the downside was that he had no medicinal formula to work with. After pondering over the matter for a bit, and considering all the types of plants and vegetation he knew, he mentally prepared his own medicinal formula.

About the time Bai Xiaochun considered how to make his own medicinal formula, Elder Zhou returned to his residence at the peak of Fragrant Cloud Peak. There, he stared at the broken and lethargic phoenix, then turned his head to look at the male phoenix in the distance, pouncing on a spirit-tailed chicken. A miserable scream then began to ring.

Elder Zhou's mind almost exploded. With a great tremble, he stood there feeling as if the entire world was revolving around him. Enraged, he shouted, "Who did this!?!?"
