Chapter 491: Too Precious

“You don’t have to worry about this though. The various sects already have an agreement in place stating neither of us are to easily meddle in the matters of the mainland. Although the Golden Pill Sect no longer exists, the fact still remains that thousands of years ago, it was one of the five great sects. It is a reputation that is not so easily forgotten. She would not dare to openly take any action,” said Su Yizhi comfortingly.
“That is good then.” Honestly speaking, when it came to facing sects, Ling Chuxi was not too confident. However, as long as that veiled maiden could not take action against her out in the open, then things should be much easier to handle. The level of cultivation abilities these sects possessed was truly hard to imagine. If a sect was to take action against her, then it would indeed be a matter that was very hard to deal with.
“Come on, let me teach you pill refinement methods. Do you know what pill will be requested for in competition at the Sword Pill Meeting?” Su Yizhi asked in a serious manner.
“The Crisis Reverse Pill?” Ling Chuxi saw Su Yizhi’s extraordinarily solemn expression and made a guess. If it was an ordinary pill, it could be surmized that he would not have made such an expression.
“That’s right. It is the Crisis Reverse Pill,” replied Su Yizhi as he looked at Ling Chuxi in acknowledgement.
“These are all the herbs I prepared earlier on. There are only two sets. One set is for your usage during the Sword Pill Meeting. The other is for you to practice beforehand,” continued Su Yizhi.
At this, Ling Chuxi finally understood why she had not seen Su Yizhi and the rest of the elders for the past few days. It turns out that they had gone to procure herbs. With the vast provision of herbs in Rejuvenation Valley and the hidden forces of the Su family sent out to scour for the required herbs, they were actually only able to find two sets of herbs. One could imagine why the Crisis Reverse Pill was so rare.
Su Yizhi prepared the pill furnace and then started to explain the pill recipe to Ling Chuxi, detailing the medicinal logic of the various herbs and what things to note during the process of pill refinement. These herbs were truly too precious and too difficult to find. If she ruined the refinement once, there was no longer be a second chance at it.
In the past, Ling Chuxi was extremely confident in her own pill refinement skills, but now she knew that what she had learnt was merely a third of the three sets of medical skills belonging to the Golden Pill Sect. Keeping away her pride from before, she paid full attention to Su Yizhi’s explanations. It was a good thing that her foundation was already well built and that the medical skills she possessed were within the same stream of knowledge as what she was currently being taught. Therefore, understanding this lesson was not too difficult.
“For the last step, you need to use Battle Qi to stimulate the various medicinal properties of the herbs to the extreme and then integrate them sufficiently. This is important because the medicinal properties have to be sufficiently integrated in order for the refinement to succeed. However, the usage of your Battle Qi needs to be minutely accurate and even then, just by channeling slightly weaker Battle Qi would cause the pill to be unable to take form. Anything a little weaker than usual would cause the pill to explode and therefore, you must be extra careful,” said Su Yizhi solemnly.
“There is even a need to use Battle Qi for this?” Ling Chuxi asked in surprise. In the past, whenever she refined pills, she would also use Battle Qi, but it was mainly used to control the fire. She had never used Battle Qi to urge on the medicinal properties of herbs and could not help but feel shocked and surprised at this.
“There is of course. If everyone could refine it, then what is so rare or amazing about the Crisis Reverse Pill? And how would the Golden Pill Sect have become one of the five great sects without its medical and pill refinement skills?” Su Yizhi said proudly. He continued. “It is a pity that you have yet to reach the realm of True Essence. Otherwise, the success rate of refining this pill would be even higher. However, to have been able to reach the cultivation level of the realm of Great Fulfilment at your age is already not bad.”
Ling Chuxi nodded. If it were to be said that her previous medical skills were the root, then what she was learning now was the stem. Having a good foundation was not sufficient. There was a need for the stems and leaves weren’t order for sweet and beautiful fruit to be borne.
“Take a good look. I will demonstrate for you once.” Su Yizhi held the pill furnace virtually and the movements of his fingers resembled clouds floating and water flowing, flitting across the pill furnace nimbly while his entire concentration was placed on controlling his Battle Qi to guide it into the pill furnace.
Ling Chuxi could tell that within his hand movements, there was also a finger method and acupuncture method within. The control of the Qi of True Essence and the usage of it as such was a secret technique passed down from generation to generation of the Su family.
