Chapter 237 Zombie Insects

But, Cloud City?

Xuan Li blinked.

"Running so fast, is there a ghost chasing you?"

Feng Siyue recalled the girl's anxious and tired eyes, and then the involuntary joy and relief that appeared on her face when she saw the snake fruit. She said softly,

"Perhaps, there really is an emergency."

Xuan Li thought about it and agreed, so she stopped paying attention to the little incident. "Then I'll go catch some fish first."

Feng Siyue turned around and took out the alchemy furnace. "Okay."

"be careful."

Xuan Li went out the door.

Watching the person's departing figure, Feng Siyue felt somewhat puzzled.

Why does Ali seem so much quieter?

Instead of starting to refine pills, she went into the Heavenly Heart Ring and stood before the Demon Meteor Spirit Mushroom Emperor that she had brought back from the Sword Saint's Secret Realm.

After the trip to 'Ghost Town', Feng Siyue felt uneasy, both about the demon and the demon behind the demon.

She didn't know if Chaoyang Holy Palace knew the details of Ghost Town, nor what their plans were, so rather than waiting, she decided to make preparations as soon as possible.

Five transparent, hollow tubes have already grown out, indicating that it has adapted very well inside.

"Qingqing, do you think the Demon Meteor Pill refined by the Demon Meteor Spirit Mushroom Emperor can kill the Jade Bone Demon Lord in the Sword Saint Secret Realm?"

"Although the Jade Bone Demon Lord is a Venerable-level being, he cannot withstand the Demon Meteor Pill refined from a Saint-level demonic plant. But are you willing to do so?"

The Saint-Rank Demonic Fallen Spirit Mushroom Emperor is currently an extremely rare treasure for Feng Siyue.

"What's the use of being willing to give it up? I don't have the strength to refine it right now."

Feng Siyue suddenly remembered something, "You said before that it had developed sentience and was considered half a demonic plant, so does that mean it feels pain?"

"Once you develop intelligence, it's equivalent to having consciousness, which means you'll definitely have the five senses. If you use it to refine pills, it will definitely feel pain."

Qingqing guessed her concerns and said,

"You can wait a little longer for the Demon Meteor Pill. Once the Demon Meteor Spirit Mushroom Emperor's cultivation reaches a certain level, it will be able to generate many high-level Demon Meteor Spirit Mushrooms. You can refine the Demon Meteor Pill then."

"How long will this take?"

Qingqing hummed in agreement. "Judging from this, it might take a few more months."

"very soon."

"The Heavenly Heart Ring is rich in spiritual energy, so you don't need to worry."

How many months?

"I'd better go out and look for something first; a few months is a bit too long."

"Either is fine, it's up to you."

"By the way, Qingqing, have you figured out what kind of bug you brought back from Ghost Town last time?"

"I found it."

Qingqing tied the blue beetle up and threw it on the ground.

"This thing is called a zombie worm. It's a rather special kind of poisonous insect. Its venom can keep a person from freezing after death, turning them into a mindless puppet."

puppet?

Feng Siyue squatted down. Perhaps because they couldn't get food in Tianxin, the beetles were obviously much more restless.

"The red markings on its belly are quite unique; are they natural?"

The beetle's contracted abdomen has a red, leaf-like mark.

"It should be some kind of mark or symbol; I've never seen it before."

"mark?"

"Ah."

“I’ve also experimented with that stone. It does possess some fusion power, but the result is negative.”

"I see."

Xuan Li nodded, found some low-grade third-rank medicinal herbs in the Heavenly Heart, and began refining pills.

Spirit-Boosting Pill.

It is made from seventeen kinds of medicinal materials, including third-tier spirit-enhancing grass, flowerless grass, wind-blown seed, and green leaves. It can forcibly raise the level of cultivators below the Spirit King level by one small level within half an hour, but after the effect wears off, the body will be weak for two hours.

As a low-level, third-tier elixir, it doesn't contain many medicinal ingredients.

With one hand controlling the fire and the other holding the medicinal herbs, she extracted them into a liquid and then used her mental power to suspend them in mid-air, beginning the refining of one herb after another.

Before long, more than a dozen clumps of liquid in the alchemy furnace were refined.

At this moment, Feng Siyue did not feel any fatigue in her mind. She used her mental power to control the slow fusion of the medicinal liquid.

Ningdan.

The process went surprisingly smoothly.

A quarter of an hour later, Feng Siyue stared into deep thought at the seven or eight round, golden-patterned pills at the bottom of the furnace.

After reaching the Spirit Sect level, his spiritual power also seemed to have increased significantly.

Perhaps... with her current mental strength, she could consider a perfect grade three elixir.

Half an hour later.

Feng Siyue stared silently at the perfectly high-quality Tier 3 Bone-Grinding Pill at the bottom of the furnace.

Or perhaps, try a fourth-grade pill?

Her heart was restless.

Feng Siyue took out fifty-one kinds of medicinal materials, including catalpa wood ash, orchid moon, lotus flower, supple seeds, peak rice black branches, dragon beard legs, etc. After washing and detoxifying them and removing the useless parts, she sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace to prepare for alchemy.

The elixir she was about to refine was called the Grade Four Ginseng Essence Elixir.

Commonly known as the "life-saving pill".

Unless the soul is completely destroyed or blown to pieces, it can keep a dying person alive for two hours, allowing for more time for treatment.

The difference between it and the Fifth Grade Heart-Protecting Pill is that the Heart-Protecting Pill only acts on the heart meridian and can protect it for five hours; while the Ginseng Essence Pill only lasts for two hours, but can keep all the important limbs and organs of the body from dying.

The most important components of the Ginseng Elixir are the life-extending abilities of the Catalpa Ash, Orchid Moon, and Dragon Beard Leg!

The ash from the catalpa wood prevented limb necrosis, while Lan Youyue slowed down the blood flow throughout the body without affecting the body's supply.
