Chapter 197 Nourishing Remedy - Essence Pill
Following the cultivation knowledge she had just acquired, Tong Yuheng went to the bamboo building with various training grounds, but she couldn't enter any of them. She had forgotten that access to cultivate inside required exchanging valuable items for usage privileges!
Then she remembered that the space required contributions to use and upgrade, and something occurred to her! Could it be that the advanced spaces or secret realms this sect provides to its disciples all have a backdoor? Is this place designed to allow for the transfer of resources across time and space?
She suddenly felt a chill run down her spine; the unknown and mysterious power was always terrifying. She shook her head to stop thinking about it, picked up a stone that had been thrown on the ground in the Relic Pavilion, and surprisingly, she could hold it in her hand.
Tong Yuheng searched his mind for the cultivation knowledge he had just acquired and realized that this was a spirit-testing stone, a very common item in the cultivation world. No wonder it was thrown on the ground.
She held the stone in her hand, silently circulating the Longevity Technique. The stone turned bright red and emitted a red glow, then turned green, shimmering and lustrous. This indicated that she possessed both fire and wood spiritual roots—a talent one in ten thousand!
She finished her practice and held the stone with her mind. Red and green light still shone through it. It seemed that she didn't necessarily have to use her cultivation technique to test her spiritual root. So, could she use her internal energy?
I tried it and it really works! Then the younger sisters can try it too!
This stone is round and about the size of a fist, white and jade-like, and has a slight warmth to it; it would make a nice decorative piece.
Tong Yuheng took it and decided to return to the original planting space.
Within a radius of two hundred miles of Qionghua Palace, it is considered safe, with no monsters attacking. However, occasionally some weaker ones might slip through the net, but they won't cause any harm to the cultivators.
This is similar to a new beast protection zone in a game. The sect has set up an array within this area, and any demon beasts with a cultivation level of level two or above will be eliminated when they enter this area.
Tong Yuheng finally understood. The badger had sneaked in from the outer training area. Because its strength was too low, it wasn't eliminated by the formation, and he was unlucky enough to run into it!
Seriously, am I that weak? I was chased and forced to flee in a sorry state by a badger that wasn't even a level two Qi Refining beast. This won't do! Starting today, I need to intensify my cultivation!
There are many training grounds on the outer perimeter, and they are quite large. They are set up according to the disciples' cultivation levels, and they can travel back and forth using teleportation arrays. Of course, those who can fly on swords can also fly there themselves, since the spirit stones used for teleportation are extremely precious. Tong Yuheng has never seen what spirit stones are yet.
What pleased her most was that the rice and fruit she cultivated with the spiritual spring water could be exchanged for items or points. Of course, she couldn't get anything particularly good. She exchanged them for some medicinal seeds and materials that she needed in the alchemy pavilion, and then took the spirit-testing stone back with her.
She first returned to her plantation, glanced at the badger, which was bigger than a wild boar, thought about what she would have to do with it, sighed, silently said "get out," and went back to her house.
Lunch was ready, and she saw her younger sisters bringing food to the table. Everyone worked together to set out the food and bowls, and then sat down to eat.
During the meal, Liu Fengyi kept serving his wife food with a fawning smile, not letting her touch anything, as if he wanted to feed her the whole meal.
See? This is what the male and female leads in a sweet romance novel should be like!
"Come on! I'm pregnant, not disabled. It's always like this. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" Tong Jiahui said with dissatisfaction.
The daughters chuckled to themselves, while Tong Anfu wore a helpless expression. Regardless, they were all happy that their mother (and daughters) were loved. The sixth and seventh daughters weren't worried at all that their new father would treat them badly after having his own child.
My older sister once said that whether a person is happy depends mainly on their own abilities and personality. If they don't get along with their new father, my older sister will take them out to live separately!
Liu Fengyi: I'm your biological father, and you still want to live separately? What are you thinking!
After finishing her meal, Tong Yuheng closed the door again and went into the planting space. Compared to the larger and more complex Qionghua Secret Realm, she was still more familiar with and fond of this place.
In the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy filled with medicine boxes, she found a prescription for a nourishing medicine for martial artists, called the Essence Pill. Taking one pill each month would strengthen the mother's body, especially benefit the fetus's development, and even improve their aptitude.
So Tong Yuheng began to prepare the necessary medicinal materials. Among them, she needed a kind of medicinal material like tiger bone, and she wondered if she could use the bones of that badger to make medicine.
That badger can be considered the lowest level of demonic beast. Would its bones be more effective than tiger bones for medicinal purposes?
Tong Yuheng often stays in her room for a whole day or half a day. She told everyone not to wait for her for dinner, then she went inside and disappeared. In reality, she was making medicine for her mother in her spatial dimension.
She cleaned up the badger, removing all its internal organs. She kept only the heart, liver, and lungs, throwing away the intestines and other parts, as she was too lazy to clean it thoroughly.
A whole piece of badger skin was skinned off, and once tanned, it could be used to make shoes for the sisters. The badger meat was cut into pieces and stored in a preservation room.
She first stewed a piece of meat for herself and found that it was fragrant and tender. After eating it, she felt a warm sensation all over her body, and even her internal energy increased. She knew that this was a rare and good thing!
Since it's good for the body, she'll keep it and take a piece out from time to time to nourish her family. She also plans to make some dried meat to send to her uncles and aunts; she shouldn't forget her younger cousins when she has something good to eat.
Badger oil is the best for making frostbite ointment. She cut off the lard and some fat attached to the internal organs and meat and set them aside, intending to have her grandfather take them to make medicine. Once it was made, it could be given to the junior students at the training base.
She never imagined that all her skills would be used to become a butcher. She sighed as she cleaned the badger's head. "If only I could use my mind to do things in this space someday!"
She stewed a pig's head in a large pot, added spices and spiritual spring water, and then went to busy herself making the Essence Pill.
Refining Essence Pills is actually the same as refining Bone Strengthening Pills and Vitality Nourishing Pills; it requires the ability to control fire with internal energy. Her internal energy is now much stronger, making the refining process easier than her grandfather's. The procedures and ingredients required for Essence Pills are more complex, so it's easier for her to do it herself.
She read from many miscellaneous notes in the Yiqu Pavilion that cultivators need a pill furnace and medicinal herbs with spiritual energy to refine pills, and they also need high-temperature earth fire or spiritual energy stored in the cultivator's body, which she cannot do at all now.
Compared to real pills, these improved pills, suitable for martial artists who have internal strength but lack spiritual power, are easier to refine.
