Chapter 297 Spiritual Herbs on Wangxian Mountain
Ning Xiaoxi sat down again and watched the cauldron float in the air.
"This is such a meticulous task, but it seems like we're making a mountain out of a molehill," Ning Xiaoxi wondered. "Using such a high-grade Limitless Cauldron to refine a Gu King? Isn't that a bit of a waste?"
"If this were a thousand years ago, it would definitely be considered like using a missile to kill a mosquito. But nowadays, it's hardly even that." Tuanzi sighed. "Right now, the only great demon who can command the Wuji Cauldron is Zhujiuyin. If it doesn't act, the Wuji Cauldron will probably remain hidden in this valley. Even if Tianxian leads the Spirit Guards to wipe out the Demon Insect Valley, he won't be able to find the Wuji Cauldron, just like he couldn't find the Starry Sky Gu King."
[Because of insufficient spiritual power?]
[It's not just a matter of spiritual power; the main reason is that the soul isn't strong enough to withstand the pressure of the Limitless Cauldron. Of course, the Limitless Cauldron's rejection of human souls is also a major factor.]
[They don't recognize the human soul? Then why are the human powerhouses even fighting over it?]
Even if it cannot be used by me, it cannot be possessed by you.
Ning Xiaoxi couldn't help but exclaim, "[Truly human-like.]"
"when!"
"when!"
Two impact sounds came from inside the Wuji Cauldron. Ning Xiaoxi stared at the cauldron, which remained motionless. Apart from the addition of a layer of hazy blue light, the cauldron had not changed at all.
How long can they last?
[It should last at least a day and a night! The power of the Wuji Cauldron is insufficient; Zhu Jiuyin only mobilized one-thousandth of its power, and without external support, it's consuming the cauldron's own power. Those materials are the highest quality available at the moment; a day and a night shouldn't be a problem.]
One in a thousand? Is that an exaggeration?
[If it were merely for refining Gu, there might not be a need to mobilize the power of the Limitless Cauldron. However, this might be the last chance to do so. Perhaps it intends to seize the Limitless Cauldron during this opportunity!]
Yes, the spiritual source has dried up, demons have vanquished, and celestial masters have died out. The most precious treasures of this world will never have the chance to reappear!
Tuanzi, her chubby body curled up beside Ning Xiaoxi, said, "Generations change, things rise and fall; nothing truly lasts forever."
Ning Xiaoxi sized up Xiao Jiu, who was perched atop the cauldron. Although they weren't close, she could clearly feel the icy aura emanating from its body—a very unfriendly feeling. Ning Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes. Perhaps that cold, distant, and indifferent aura was the real Xiao Jiu!
Is it going to stay up there forever?
Anyway, it won't be long, and we might not even have a chance to use it again.
Ning Xiaoxi stopped dwelling on the entanglement between Xiao Jiu and the Wuji Cauldron. She looked at the pool of black jade-like spring water inside the cave. [Tuanzi, can we use this black spring water?]
[The recipe Hou Qing gave me, I don't even know where it came from. I couldn't find any information in my updated files about how to rebuild Nüba's body. It's something I've never done before, who knows if it will even work.]
Is there any way to purify this Jade Spring water? We can't let Hou Qing find fault with it, especially since it took my brother away; I can't take the risk.
[Let me see... Oh, the method to purify the Fountain of Life... Ah, I've got it! The Purifying Pearl has already been destroyed. The Primordial Spirit Jade has been used up. The Cleansing Grass and the Purifying Flower... Hmm, those two could be tried.]
【What?】
【The Cleansing Grass and the Purifying Flower are two rare and exotic plants that grow on Wangxian Mountain, growing side by side. They can cleanse all the impurities of the world, and presumably can also purify the Jade Spring.】
【Wangxian Mountain.】 Ning Xiaoxi opened the map and started searching. 【Huh, why can't I find the location of Wangxian Mountain?】
[Wangxian Mountain was the original name; you can search for it to see Wangxian Mountain.]
[Hmm, Wangxian Mountain, spotted it.] Ning Xiaoxi finally saw the red dot. [It's in Yangzhou, near the East China Sea.]
Yangzhou is a great place! It's just that it's getting a bit cold right now, the rain is icy, not quite snowy yet, but definitely the most uncomfortable month of the year.
Ning Xiaoxi turned to look at Tuanzi, "We're going on business, not sightseeing. Does the weather matter? We've already explored the Northern Ice Plains, what's a little bit of weather like in Yangzhou?"
Tuanzi blinked her little eyes. "The unusual season has passed; only the roots of the plants remain, no whole plants."
Ning Xiaoxi felt a slight itch in her hands. [If you can't pick them, just say you can't. Why say it's cold!] She raised her hand to rub her cheek. [If you don't have whole plants, can't you use the broken roots?]
[To be honest, the whole plant is the only effective part; nobody would harvest the remaining roots for use!]
Ning Xiaoxi felt a headache coming on. This godforsaken place had too many things, many of which were unverified. She knew they existed and their effects, but that was all she knew. There was absolutely nothing else to say about them! Upgrading Tuanzi wouldn't help; if there was no record, there was no record. She couldn't even use her previous experience because the information didn't match up at all!
"Since we'll be passing through Yangzhou on the way back to the capital anyway, let's take a longer route and go around to check it out." Ning Xiaoxi thought for a moment, "Or, we could discuss it with the Third Prince, tell him about the situation at Yu Li Spring, and let him know I wasn't deliberately delaying."
He's even making you wait for his new prescription!
Ning Xiaoxi's eyes lit up. "Yes, he told me to slow down. If I walk slowly by going around in circles, he shouldn't mind."
[I just wonder if he'll come up with some weird recipe again and make you run errands for him again.] Tuanzi secretly glanced at Ning Xiaoxi. [Anyway, he has people on his side now, so you have to do whatever he wants.]
Ning Xiaoxi frowned. She now realized that simply improving her own abilities wasn't enough to protect her family. There were far too many dangers threatening them from places she couldn't see. But she had already defined her career path and attributes; neither Tianji nor Tianxian would allow her to slip too far out of their control. If they sensed any sign of her losing control, they would certainly eliminate her without hesitation. She couldn't take the risk!
"when!"
"Buzz!"
"when!"
The sound of penetration came again from the Wuji Cauldron, and the cauldron reacted in time. The azure mist became more intense, and the force of the impact increased significantly.
"null!"
"Buzz!"
The force of the impact seemed to be increasing, and the defense of the Wuji Cauldron also began to strengthen. The azure mist began to thicken, and a faint grassy green light began to appear.
Xiao Jiu straightened up from her coiled position, lowered her head, and stared intently at the Wuji Cauldron with her icy, emotionless eyes filled with overwhelming rage!
