Chapter 687 - 484: Resuming Qi Cultivation, Retrieving the Yellow Dragon Pill_2

Time and fate.

...

That afternoon, an elder from the Skill Transmission Hall arrived uninvited.

In his hand, he held a red magic mirror.

He channeled Spiritual Qi into the copper mirror, gently moved closer to it, and suddenly a fragrance of Spiritual Qi wafted out. Inside the copper mirror, various colors began to swirl.

The colors were red, yellow, and blue, representing the Water, Fire, and Earth Spirit Roots.

Seeing the intensity of these three rays, the elder from the Skill Transmission Hall breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Zheng Yi and Wang Yumo, and congratulated them: "Children, you have Spirit Roots."

"Although they are Low-grade Spirit Roots, the concentration is not low, likely inherited from their father."

"Later, when this matter is reported to the Skill Transmission Hall, more cultivation resources will be allocated to Fellow Daoist Zheng Yi."

Zheng Yi opened his mouth to speak.

Slowly, the news spread.

But the masses showed little reaction.

The task of Zheng Yi and these Immortal Seeds coming to the Wang Family was just this after all.

That evening.

A reward from the Skill Transmission Hall arrived: three bottles of Spirit Liquid and ten Spirit Stones.

"Make do with these."

Zheng Yi tucked these resources into his bosom.

He glanced at Wang Yumo on the bed, holding their child with a look of anticipation.

Wang Yumo’s beautiful eyes were full of tenderness, and she murmured to herself: "My child has a Spirit Root, and in the future, can pursue Immortal Cultivation like my husband. Wonderful, just wonderful."

And on this night.

Zheng Yi did not disturb Wang Yumo any further, nor did Wang Yumo have any such thoughts.

Zheng Yi went to Wang Qing’s room.

There he saw Wang Xue, her petite and delicate figure faintly visible under the moonlight and candlelight.

"Husband, we also want to..."

Wang Yumo lowered her head, speaking shyly.

Wang Qing looked at Zheng Yi, eyes full of desire.

Without hesitation, she leaped forward like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

Very soon.

"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, lifespan increases by twelve."

"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, lifespan increases by seventeen."

"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, lifespan increases by twenty-two."

"Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, [Nine Yin Returning Yang Technique], Spiritual Qi increases by seven."

...

That night, Zheng Yi took on the challenge of two, as if he were in an unoccupied field.

But still, he did not obtain the Innate Yin Qi or Innate Yang Qi.

With Zheng Yi’s current Golden Core Body.

Trying to conceive offspring again was naturally much more difficult than before.

It was precisely for this reason that when Zheng Yi first encountered Innate Yin Qi, he reacted so strongly.

In the Cultivation Realm.

The higher the realm of the cultivator, the more difficult it is to conceive offspring, as if it were a curse from the unseen world.

In the Cultivation Area, Zheng Yi’s Divine Sense probed into the storage space.

The Spiritual Qi from First-layer Qi Refining touched his Dantian, opening a slit in its accumulated space, just long enough for Zheng Yi to retrieve an item inside.

Zheng Yi’s Divine Sense nudged it.

The next moment.

An item appeared on the table in front of him, a solid white jade bottle.

Zheng Yi was baffled.

He had no idea what was inside this jade bottle.

When Spiritual Power probed again, Zheng Yi opened the jade bottle and sniffed the scent inside.

It was indeed the Yellow Dragon Pill.

A cultivation elixir for Late-stage Qi Refining, its potency was fierce, unsuitable for those in Early-stage Qi Refining, but for Zheng Yi’s Golden Core Body, it could be easily ingested.

"With this elixir.

Breaking through to Middle-stage Qi Refining and then continuing to restore the Spirit Root should be much easier."

Zheng Yi murmured to himself.

By then, he would continually grow stronger like a snowball, and once he broke through to Middle-stage Qi Refining, showcasing his alchemy skills to become a genuine alchemy apprentice.

By then, he could even consider marrying again.

And if he could marry a woman with a Spirit Root, his Spirit Root restoration and overall strength would be visible to the naked eye.

Zheng Yi smiled slightly, a beautiful future was beckoning to him.

...

The Yellow Dragon Pill was placed into Zheng Yi’s bosom, such an important item naturally had to be stored close.

"It’s time to showcase some alchemy skills."

Zheng Yi thought to himself.

Returning to the Skill Transmission Hall.

Calculating the time, Zheng Yi arrived at the lecture hall just in time to see Master Zhang.

Master Zhang was in his usual cloud-patterned white robe, speaking loudly in the front.

Below, the alchemy Immortal Seeds, along with the Wang Family members, were few.

"To refine elixirs, one must remember a large amount of Spiritual Materials and Medicines; only then can you quickly place the suitable proportions of Spiritual Medicine inside, and master the appropriate temperature.

It seems simple, but the process is incredibly complex, and it is precisely why alchemists are among the top in the cultivation professions, perhaps even aspiring for the first place."

Master Zhang said.

Upon arriving, Master Zhang continued: "In the early stages of alchemy, after memorizing the Hundred Herbs Chart, what remains is mastering Earth Fire Power.

With the help of your mostly Fire Attribute Spirit Roots, it should be very simple."

As soon as Master Zhang finished speaking.

A sudden voice from below asked, "And what if one has mastered Earth Fire Power?"

At these words.

Everyone in the alchemy class turned towards the voice, which was Zheng Yi himself.

Master Zhang heard this, and quickly replied: "Then you can apply to the family to become an alchemy apprentice and attempt alchemy. As long as you can refine a Spirit-attracting Pill for First-layer Qi Refining.

You then officially become a family’s alchemy apprentice."

A Spirit-attracting Pill, as the name implies.

Can pull external Spiritual Qi into the body, and after absorbing and refining, it is stored in the Dantian, instead of circulating in the body and then dispersing outside.

Spirit-attracting Pill is just an entry-level elixir.

In the Sect, refining it is only one of the conditions for alchemy apprentices, but in the small sect of the Piaomiao Mountain Wang Family, naturally the requirements are altered.

If according to the Sect’s standards, the family’s few alchemy apprentices would be reduced to just one or two.

Simply unbearable to watch.

"I wonder if I may apply to the family to become an alchemy apprentice?"

Zheng Yi stood up slowly in the classroom.

He came before Master Zhang, speaking quickly, already reciting a good portion of the Spiritual Medicines in the Hundred Herbs Chart.

Reaching this point, Zheng Yi extended his right palm forward.

The Spiritual Power from First-layer Qi Refining infused into his palm, and the Fireball Technique was used, but not shot out, instead it remained stationary in his palm, subtly altering temperature, steadily rising.

"Such control, is it enough to handle Earth Fire?"

Zheng Yi asked again.

At this moment, Master Zhang truly took notice of the student who only occasionally came to the Skill Transmission Hall.

"A talented seedling!"

Master Zhang secretly appraised him.

"Under normal circumstances, you must apply to the steward. But today, since you have come to me, I shall respond to you. Have you prepared to refine the Spirit-attracting Pill?

The family will provide the materials, but you only have three attempts, and successfully becoming an alchemy apprentice is no easy feat. Each step must be meticulously examined."

Master Zhang sternly reiterated.

Zheng Yi frowned slightly.

He raised his right hand again, this time the Fireball Technique in his palm gradually dissipated.

"Please trouble Master Zhang."

Zheng Yi spoke while taking a bag filled with Spirit Stones saved over months and handed it over, his meaning clear.

He hoped Master Zhang would teach him these steps.

Zheng Yi only needed to practice once.

Witnessing this, many students at the Skill Transmission Hall were prepared to mock him.

Master Zhang, however, smiled easily, accepting the Spirit Stones, "These Spirit Stones will only allow a family-level three opportunities, today I shall guide you in refining the Spirit-attracting Pill."

With Master Zhang’s words, the students below returned to silence one by one.

They too considered themselves beneficiaries of Zheng Yi’s situation, their gazes on him became much more amicable.

"Thank you, Master Zhang."

Zheng Yi readily agreed.

Master Zhang then brought a Pill Furnace, a small Medicine Cauldron.

As a genuine alchemist, such entry-level elixirs did not require much effort from him.
