Immortality and cultivation begin with alchemy and accounting.

Chapter 54 Clear Water and Bright Heart Stone

After discussing with Bai Xuanle the idea of ​​incorporating beast-taming runes into the demon-feeding pills and then slowly completing the beast-taming process, Bai Xuanjing began to experiment.

However, attaching beast-taming runes to pills, while seemingly easy, is not something that can be done successfully on the first try.

In addition, Bai Xuanjing has been going to Bai Qingbai Cave every day to practice the Azure Water Pill, and when he returns, he also has to practice the way of beast taming and magic.

Progress has been slower as a result.

Fortunately, even if the condensation fails, the Demon-Feeding Pill is not completely wasted.

Baek Hyun-kyung has many opportunities to try and fail.

It wasn't until last night that Bai Xuanjing successfully condensed the Beast Taming Rune onto the surface of the Demon Feeding Pill for the first time.

So, in the morning, he excitedly went to find the Fallen Turtle, intending to try out the effects of the Demon-Feeding Pill.

"Sizzle!"

Bai Xuanjing first fed the Zhiluo Turtle a few pieces of dried black-skinned bull-like meat.

After eating the dried meat, the demon became extremely excited and started circling around Bai Xuanjing.

As the tortoise spoke, two streams of solid demonic energy shot out from its nostrils.

They were shaking their heads and swaying, as if they were dancing.

In addition, the giant body and rather comical head of the tortoise make it look rather bizarre.

Over this period of time, Zhilu Gui and Bai Xuanjing had become quite familiar with each other.

Looking at the dark black pill in Bai Xuanjing's hand, Zhiluogui tilted his head.

The beast's instincts told it that this Demon-Feeding Pill was a good thing, even better than the black-skinned ox-beast jerky it had eaten before!

Its eyes immediately lit up with longing, and it began to hiss at Bai Xuanjing.

Although the sound wasn't exactly pleasant, Bai Xuanjing, having gotten used to it, knew that the Zhiluo Turtle's call meant it was being affectionate.

"Here, eat up!"

Bai Xuanjing handed the pill to Zhiluo Turtle.

The tortoise opened its mouth, and a surge of demonic power erupted from it, landing on the demon-feeding pill.

Then, it swallowed the pill with its demonic energy.

After consuming the Demon-Feeding Pill, the Zhiluo Turtle crawled to the corner of the courtyard wall, retracting its head and limbs into its shell.

Bai Xuanjing knew that the Fallen Turtle was refining the medicinal power of the Demon-Feeding Pill.

I sat back down on the stone bench.

A smooth, bluish-green stone appeared in Bai Xuanjing's hand.

The stone was entirely emerald green, like a piece of amber, and a warm, moist aura emanated from it from time to time.

Holding it in her hand, Bai Xuanjing felt that the flow of magical power within her body had become faster.

"The Stone of Clear Water and Bright Heart..."

Bai Xuanjing silently recited the name of the object in his heart.

Bai Qingbai's seven-day teaching session has ended, and in the previous few days, Bai Xuanjing refined a total of fourteen batches of pills with Bai Qingbai.

Four furnaces were made from this.

The success rate of pill formation is close to 30%!

Besides Bai Qingbai's guidance, the mid-grade first-level Huaiyin Wood Fire also provided some assistance in alchemy.

Such a high success rate in producing pills naturally earned Bai Qingbai's praise.

In addition, Bai Xuanjing also pocketed all the settlement rewards from the four batches of pills.

Besides the improvement in cultivation level from the first batch, the second batch improved alchemy skills.

The reward for the third batch is this Azure Water Bright Heart Stone, and the reward for the fourth batch is several mid-grade first-tier attack talismans.

The so-called "Azure Water Bright Heart Stone" is not a natural stone, but a spiritual creature that grows from the head of the Azure Water Python.

However, such a creature is extremely rare; out of hundreds of Azure Water Pythons, perhaps only one can give birth to it.

In order to refine the Azure Water Pill, the Bai family has a special method of hunting or breeding Azure Water Pythons.

Even so, one could only harvest a few pieces of the "Azure Water Bright Heart Stone" in a year.

Although it is only a spiritual object born from a mid-grade first-level demon beast, the Azure Water Bright Heart Stone has a wonderful use.

Wearing it on one's body can increase a cultivator's perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, while also helping to clarify one's mind and spirit, and aiding in the practice of cultivation techniques.

However, it's not that useful for high-level cultivators.

It is mainly used by monks entering the path of cultivation.

New cultivators have weak meridians and cannot withstand the impact of even a low-grade first-level Qi-refining pill. Therefore, they can only rely on medicinal baths to slowly nourish their meridians.

Bishui Mingxin Stone is gentle in nature and its main function is to assist in the gradual improvement of health over time.

Therefore, cultivators who have not yet achieved cultivation can accelerate their path to enlightenment by wearing the Azure Water Bright Heart Stone.

Although the Bai family produces this kind of spiritual creature, those who sell silk and brocade everywhere are not silkworm farmers.

The Bishui Mingxin Stone produced by the Bai family is rarely used by their own disciples.

The Contribution Pavilion only occasionally offers one or two items, requiring two or three hundred contribution points to exchange for them.

Most of the Azure Water Bright Heart Stones were given as gifts by the families to those who were on good terms with the Flowing Cloud Sect cultivators or Golden Core clans.

Although this gift is not of high quality, it is suitable for a cultivator who has just entered the path.

It can precisely strike a chord with those Liuyun Sect cultivators who have taken on disciples or those from large families who have children.

"This thing can help me too, but its effect is limited. It would be better to give it to Mingyuan."

Bai Xuanjing played with the Bishui Mingxin Stone, making a plan in his mind.

Although she could exchange the Contribution Pavilion for Contribution Points, Bai Xuanjing had no intention of doing so.

He doesn't lack contribution points these days.

On the contrary, Bai Mingyuan is at the right time to enter the Dao, so this Azure Water Bright Heart Stone is suitable for him to use.

Bai Xuanjing was originally troubled about what to give Bai Mingyuan as a gift this year.

This clear-water-clear stone is quite suitable.

"Xuanjing!"

Just as Bai Xuanjing was pondering, a voice suddenly called out from outside the door.

The voice was familiar, and Bai Xuanjing's heart stirred slightly.

He got up and opened the door.

"Brother Xuanle, you didn't come here for the Demon-Feeding Pill, did you?"

"I've been studying alchemy with Elder Bai Qingbai these past few days, so I haven't had time to refine any demon-feeding pills."

Upon opening the door, Bai Xuanjing saw that the person who came was indeed Bai Xuanle. After understanding his purpose, Bai Xuanjing immediately spoke.

Bai Xuanle wasn't surprised to hear this, and just smiled and said, "It's alright, I'm not rushing you. I just had nothing to do and was strolling around the Canghuang Islands. I came across your Daoping Island and came to see you."

Then, the two sat down in the courtyard.

Looking at the curled-up Zhiluo Turtle, Bai Xuanle asked, "You've already started feeding it demon-feeding pills?"

Bai Xuanjing nodded.

After chatting for a while, Bai Xuanle suddenly asked, "Xuanjing, how's your Azure Water Pill refining going? Can you be considered a mid-grade first-level alchemist?"

Bai Xuanjin and Bai Xuanluo were also refining pills at Bai Qingbai's residence. Bai Xuanjing did not think that he could hide his success rate in refining pills.

Therefore, he truthfully replied, "I used materials from fourteen batches of Azure Water Pills, and four batches were successfully made, which is about a success rate of 28%."

"Heh, the standard for a mid-grade first-level alchemist is a 30% success rate, right? You're just one step away from that!" Bai Xuanle said with some surprise.

Then, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Noticing Bai Xuanle's hesitant expression, Bai Xuanjing's heart stirred slightly, and he tentatively asked, "Brother Xuanle, is there something you need?"

Bai Xuanle's expression returned to normal, and he chuckled, "It's nothing. When will the Demon-Feeding Pill be finished?"
