Chapter 257: Even Pixiu can't eat this much
"Yeah." Xiao Meng nodded, then looked at Gongsun Ce who had finished changing his clothes in the sky, "It really looks like him."
"What does it really look like?" Chisongzi was puzzled.
"A ray of light." Xiao Meng smiled, "And I am like a moth flying into the flame."
"Little idiot." Gongsun Ce came to Xiao Meng's side at some point and pretended to flick his finger at Xiao Meng's eyebrows.
"Ah!" Xiao Meng squatted down and covered her head as usual, but she found that Gongsun Ce had no intention of continuing to attack, and Gongsun Ce had already put his hands behind his back.
"Hiss, crunch, crunch..." Looking at Xiao Meng gritting her teeth, Gongsun Ce felt happy.
"I can walk by myself! Put me down!" Just as Xiao Meng was gnashing her teeth to express her dissatisfaction with Gongsun Ce, Gongsun Ce picked up Xiao Meng, walked into Tongming Academy and began to tour.
Gongsun Ce didn't think Xiao Meng's punches and kicks were painful at all.
“When I can’t hold you anymore, I will put you down. Before that, stay here obediently, little girl.” Gongsun Ce patted Xiao Meng on the back, his tone hinting with amusement.
"I'm not that heavy!" Xiao Meng was so angry.
"Then," Gongsun Ce tilted his head and looked at Xiao Meng, "I will never let go."
"Asshole!" Xiaomeng's face turned red.
"Hahahaha..." Gongsun Ce laughed heartily. Xiao Meng's words had no hurtful power at all. He even felt that Xiao Meng was a little cute at the moment.
As Gongsun Ce began to visit the Tongming Academy, the agents of the Hundred Schools of Thought also returned to their respective positions and began to organize documents and manuscripts, or in other words, to prepare lessons.
When Gongsun Ce came to the medical branch holding Xiao Meng, he saw Mi Lian and Duanmu Rong sitting on the doorstep holding Mi Xin.
"Xiao Lian." Gongsun Ce walked towards Mi Lian. His call brought Mi Lian's distracted thoughts back to normal.
"Uncle Gongsun." Mi Lian showed Mi Xin in her arms to Gongsun Ce, "She is my biological sister."
"I know that Ying Bu brought her here for consultation, so I also put Ying Bu in prison to keep Ji Bu company."
"She is sick..." Mi Lian said this but didn't know how to continue.
She did have resentment towards Mi Xin. After all, in a sense, Mi Xin was the culprit for Mi Lian being abandoned.
However, this feeling of blood connection prevented Mi Lian from taking revenge on Mi Xin.
In fact, because of Mi Xin's congenital deficiencies, Mi Lian felt a little more sympathy for Mi Xin.
"I know what you're thinking." Gongsun Ce shook his head, "But I can't save her."
"But doesn't Ah Yan also have congenital deficiencies? Even Mr. Han Fei has some congenital diseases. Why are they safe and sound?" Mi Lian asked puzzled.
Gongsun Yan's congenital deficiency was made up by Gongsun Ce's blood when he was transformed into a hybrid.
Han Fei was saved by his life, and he was in a good mood recently, so his physical condition improved.
When he was in Xiaoshengxianzhuang, Xunzi used his medical skills and true Qi to protect Han Fei's heart.
"It's a miracle that Ah Yan survived. If the same method was used on Mi Xin, she would most likely die, with a small chance of turning into a monster, and an extremely small chance of surviving.
As for Han Fei, he never stopped taking medicine. It's not because of the difference in relationship that I won't help Mi Xin, but I don't know how to treat her. Maybe..."
When Gongsun Ce said this, he thought of the Tongtian Pills in the Ever Night World. Perhaps this thing could make up for Mi Xin's congenital deficiency.
But maybe Tongtian Pills will be useless for Mi Xin's condition.
Mi Lian nodded silently. She was very smart and knew that the reason why Gongsun Ce did not finish his words was because the method he was about to say might not be useful to Mi Xin.
It’s better not to say anything than to make her happy for nothing.
"The crying child gets candy." Gongsun Ce rubbed Mi Lian's head, "You are too obedient and sensible. This may not be a good thing."
"You have to believe in my master's medical skills." Duanmu Rong, who was beside Mi Lian, held her in her arms, "My master is the leader of the medical family."
"Thank you, Sister Rong." Mi Lian thanked Duanmu Rong in a low voice.
"You really know how to get work for your master." Gongsun Ce raised his hand and scratched the tip of Duanmu Rong's nose. Then he took out a bag of raisins from his arms and handed it to Duanmu Rong. "Dried fruit from the Western Regions is called raisins. Rong'er can take it as a snack."
"Hmph!" Duanmu Rong wrinkled her nose and avoided Gongsun Ce's hand that continued to scratch her nose, but she did not forget to take the raisins from Gongsun Ce.
"So sweet." Duanmu Rong opened the paper bag, took out a few raisins and put them in her mouth to chew. The abundant sweetness made Duanmu Rong smile a little, "Xiao Lian, try it too."
After Duanmu Rong confirmed the taste of the raisins, she stuffed a few raisins into Mi Lian's mouth.
"So sweet." Mi Lian was still a little disappointed, but after eating the raisins, she made the same comment as Duanmu Rong.
Gongsun Ce smiled, put Xiao Meng down and walked into the house. Xiao Meng and Mi Lian had a good relationship, and Gongsun Ce wanted Xiao Meng to help Mi Lian calm down.
This is the future classroom for doctors, and also Nian Duan’s pharmacy.
At this moment, Nian Duan was reading a medical book. She wanted to cure Mi Xin, but she had to admit that Mi Xin's condition left her helpless.
She could keep Mi Xin alive, but she couldn't keep her alive without any illness or disaster.
So Nian Duan is reading medical books, hoping to find a way to cure Mi Xin.
"Master Nian Duan." Gongsun Ce walked to Nian Duan and knocked on the table, and Nian Duan suddenly woke up as if from a dream.
"General Gongsun." Nian Duan bowed briefly to Gongsun Ce, "I was so absorbed in reading that I didn't notice General Gongsun coming. I apologize for the inconvenience."
"It's okay. Doctors have a kind heart." Gongsun Ce sat opposite Nian Duan. Then Gongsun Ce picked up the brush in front of Nian Duan, wrote a prescription on a piece of bamboo paper and handed it to Nian Duan.
"Master Nian Duan, can you please help me see if these herbs can be found and whether they can be refined into medicinal pills?"
Nian Duan quickly scanned the prescription, and the more she looked at it, the brighter her eyes became. She said with some surprise, "Mi Xin is saved, although I don't know where the Taiwei's prescription came from.
But judging from the prescription, once the elixir is successfully refined, it will definitely be able to make up for congenital deficiencies and even improve martial arts skills.
The medicinal herbs are not difficult to find, but there are too many of them and the refining techniques are unclear.
If I want to refine it, I can only try from scratch. I wonder how long it will take to refine it into a finished product?"
The prescription that Gongsun Ce gave to Nian Duan was naturally the prescription for Tongtian Pills.
As the most powerful elixir in the Ever Night world, Tongtian Pills can improve aptitude, allowing those who are unable to practice to do so.
It can improve your cultivation, it can restore your cultivation, and it also has detoxification properties.
It can be said that Tongtian Pills are as its name suggests, with effects that can reach heaven. After taking them, one can reach heaven.
However, this kind of elixir is almost extinct in the Ever Night world, because there is no one who can refine Tongtian Pills anymore.
Although the recipe for Tongtian Pills still exists in Zhishou Temple, the refining method has been lost, and the number of Tongtian Pills is decreasing as time goes by.
After Qin's Heavenly Dao swallowed up the World of Ever Night, Gongsun Ce, as the agent of Qin's Heavenly Dao, could easily obtain all the information of the World of Ever Night.
Including the refining method and prescription of Tongtian Pills, but Gongsun Ce is not sure whether the Qin world at this moment has all the medicinal materials needed to refine Tongtian Pills, so he needs to consult Nian Duan.
Now that it is confirmed that all the medicinal materials are available, Gongsun Ce can begin to try to refine the Tongtian Pills.
Tongtian Pills are a good thing. Gongsun Ce may not eat them, but he must have some in reserve. Moreover, the Heavenly Goddess Haotian may also be able to refine Tongtian Pills, which is a good opportunity for him to obtain the scriptures.
"Xiao Meng and Mi Lian will be temporarily deposited here. I will come back to pick them up after a while. Please ask Master Nian Duan to inform them." After Gongsun Ce said this, he activated his infinite magical power and returned to the Taiwei Mansion.
In the Taiwei Mansion, at this moment, Haotian Tiannv is receiving gifts from the identity of the "Pope" of Confucianism.
It would naturally not be as easy for the Haotian goddess, who had lost her Haotian identity and power, to accept the gifts from the world as it was for Gongsun Ce.
The goddess Haotian was suspended in the air, surrounded by a brilliant light.
This light did not come from the outside world, but emanated from her body, similar to the Haotian Divine Light that she had used before.
The divine light of Haotian exuded a warm and mysterious aura, causing a group of young women in Gongsun Ce's backyard to look at the goddess Haotian curiously.
Just now Gongsun Ce accepted the gift from heaven and earth, and now it is the turn of Heavenly Goddess Haotian to receive this gift.
The power of heaven and earth plus the destiny of the human world suddenly poured into the body of Haotian Tiannu, triggering the remaining Haotian Divine Brilliance in Haotian Tiannu's body, and transforming Haotian Divine Brilliance into true energy and the intention of a grandmaster.
Haotian goddess slowly closed her eyes, and her consciousness was instantly connected with the Confucian students all over the world. She saw a lot of things in an instant, things that she had ignored during the Haotian period - people.
She could feel the thoughts of all Confucian students in this world.
She heard the sound of reading and saw students studying hard...
At this moment, Haotian Tiannu officially began to receive the gift of Confucian destiny.
She felt the blessings from heaven and earth, which turned into streams of pure energy and flowed into her body.
Her body seemed to have turned into a huge container, constantly absorbing this energy.
Her strength also began to gradually increase at this moment.
As time went by, the light on Haotian Goddess became brighter and brighter.
Her body seemed to be shrouded in a golden halo, and she exuded a majestic and sacred aura.
Her face became more and more beautiful, like a white lotus blooming on the top of a snowy mountain.
When the brilliance reached its peak, subtle changes began to occur in Haotian Tiannv's body.
Her skin became even whiter, and the finest jade in the world could not match her skin.
Her hair cascaded behind her like a waterfall, sparkling with the divine light of heaven and revealing a hint of golden light.
At this moment, the powerful Haotian divine light transformed into true energy and the grandmaster's intention soared together, and the Haotian goddess reached the realm of half-step unity of heaven and man.
When the light faded, Haotian goddess slowly descended to the ground.
She was still wearing a white dress, but at this moment she exuded a more noble temperament.
There was a small crown on her head, inlaid with five dazzling gems, representing five different powers.
That is the power of the five virtues, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. At the same time, it represents the power of the five elements, gold, wood, water, fire and earth. It shines with the five virtues and inherits the direction of the five elements. Confucianism is the most respected, and it is below the imperial Confucianism.
The moment Haotian Goddess landed on the ground, she fell into Gongsun Ce's arms.
"How does it feel?" Gongsun Ce looked at the Haotian goddess in his arms with a smile.
"You took away all my power and only gave me back a little. That's too stingy." Haotian Tiannv frowned in dissatisfaction.
Haotian's power is very strong, even if Haotian Tiannu only carries a part of the lower realm, she still possesses power close to the ninth realm, not to mention that Haotian Tiannu also has Haotian's authority on her.
For Haotian Tiannv, the power of the half-step unity of man and nature realm is just a drop in the bucket, a tiny fraction of the power she once possessed.
"You are the defeated party. Sparing your life is already my kindness, not to mention I have given you power now. Don't be so greedy."
Gongsun Ce sniffed gently at the hair of Haotian Goddess. The originally fresh and elegant fragrance of Haotian Goddess became even stronger at this moment.
"You bastard. But is this the power of human beings? It seems not bad." Haotian Tiannv thought of the countless mortals who wanted to resist her in the past.
A Master is rare, but Ke Haoran is common.
Since ancient times, the only person who could truly threaten Haotian was the Master.
However, Ke Haoran was not the only one who tried to defeat Haotian but died at his hands.
"Husband." At this time Feiyan came to Gongsun Ce's side, and her call of "husband" really made Gongsun Ce's heart tremble.
Gongsun Ce patted Haotian Tiannv, causing her to roll her eyes.
However, Haotian Tiannv did not disturb the upcoming intimacy between Gongsun Ce and Feiyan.
Haotian Tiannv left Gongsun Ce's arms, allowing Gongsun Ce to embrace Feiyan.
"It has already started." After Gongsun Ce embraced Feiyan, he placed his hand on Feiyan's lower abdomen, "Feiyan, you must be feeling very uncomfortable now."
Gongsun Ce looked at Feiyan with tenderness. The fetus had not yet formed, but it was already absorbing a large amount of nutrients from the mother, so Feiyan would inevitably feel waves of discomfort and slight weakness.
"It's okay, I can still bear it." Fei Yan's face was a little pale, but with a maternal glow that Gongsun Ce had never seen before.
"Fei Yan." Gongsun Ce lifted Fei Yan's eyes and looked at him, "The child is just an accident. You are more important. Don't be affected by instinct."
"Yeah." Feiyan nodded. "Although I heard that women will have a strong sense of protection for the fetus after they are pregnant, I am very sober now."
Gongsun Ce thought for a while and took out the last pill made from the gall of a basset snake from his arms and swallowed it himself.
The pill melted in his mouth, and a large amount of medicinal power instantly poured into Gongsun Ce's body.
This part of the medicinal power is a supreme tonic for those who have reached the state of unity between man and nature, but for Gongsun Ce, it is just a toothpaste.
Gongsun Ce lowered his head and kissed Feiyan, slowly transferring the medicinal power to Feiyan.
After Feiyan obtained the medicinal power, it did not even stay in her tendons and veins for long but went directly into the unformed embryo.
After Gongsun Ce transferred all the medicinal power to Feiyan, Feiyan was unable to intercept even a trace of the medicinal power, and the medicinal power was completely plundered by Feiyan's unformed fetus.
However, the power of this medicine will ultimately prevent Feiyan from losing a lot of nutrients in a short period of time.
No matter how good the elixir is, it is inevitable that there will be elixir poison. After Gongsun Ce took the elixir and then transferred the medicinal power to Feiyan, there was no doubt that the possibility of elixir poison accumulating in Feiyan's body was eliminated.
However, what happened just now made Gongsun Ce's face look a little solemn. The power that the Basher Pearl spread out intentionally or unintentionally was not enough to satisfy the four-legged gold-devouring beast.
It also let the four-legged gold-eating beast devour a lot of Feiyan's nutrients. Gongsun Ce scratched his head, thinking that Nezha was difficult to raise.
The only thing that made Gongsun Ce feel relieved was that Feiyan's face was no longer pale, but had a bit more color.
"This child is really hard to raise." Gongsun Ce thought for a moment and injected his own Qi into Feiyan's body. "The medicinal power can temporarily maintain the child's loss, and the Qi can prevent her from over-absorbing your nutrients. I will try my best to find a way to solve this problem.
Even a Pixiu can’t eat as much as she does! Pixiu only eats gold, silver, copper and iron, but she doesn’t know how much she needs to eat! "
When Gongsun Ce said this, the Pixiu statue at the front door lit up, as if to express its dissatisfaction.
“Eat your human power and dragon energy! You are everywhere!” Gongsun Ce waved his hand and forcefully blocked the Pixiu's perception of the outside world.
At this time, Pixiu and Qiao Xiaolong are still absorbing the power of the human world and the dragon energy from the ground to undergo transformation.
The Pixiu still had the energy to look around to see what was happening, but Qiao Xiaolong was now like a deaf, blind, and dumb person, unable to hear, see, or speak.
Gongsun Ce dragged Haotian Tiannv, who was eating watermelon, to the pharmacy.
The pharmacy is fully stocked with medicinal materials and an alchemy furnace.
Previously, Gongsun Ce thought that Nian Duan and Duanmu Rong would temporarily stay in the Taiwei Mansion, so he deliberately set up this pharmacy, but he didn't expect it to have other uses.
Gongsun Ce recalled the refining technique of Tongtian Pills for a moment, and finally confirmed that the refining of Tongtian Pills required the assistance of Haotian Divine Brilliance, Jiemie Cold Air and Tianxiaxi Divine Finger.
Put the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace in a specific order and use the energy of heaven and earth to transform them into extracting liquid to extract the medicinal power. Otherwise, it is impossible to refine Tongtian Pills.
Except for being unable to transform the energy of heaven and earth into liquid and knowing the order in which to put the medicinal materials in, the temple master Chen almost meets the prerequisites for refining the Tongtian Pills.
The temple master Chen can borrow Haotian's divine light from Haotian by relying on his realm of revelation. He himself carries the cold aura of annihilation, and he also knows the Tianxia Xishen Finger.
Gongsun Ce guessed that if the master had not been imprisoned in the South China Sea for many years by the Master, perhaps he could have refined the Tongtian Pills.
In addition, there is actually a shortcut to refining Tongtian Pills, which is the medicine cauldron in Zhishou Temple.
The medicine cauldron is used in conjunction with the Tongtian Pills refining technique, and even if the medicinal materials have not been specially processed, Tongtian Pills can be made.
Unfortunately, what Gongsun Ce wanted was to be able to use any alchemy furnace to refine the Tongtian Pills, rather than using a special medicine cauldron.
Gongsun Ce picked and chose in the medicine cabinet, picked out the herbs that could be used directly and placed them in front of him.
The rest of the medicinal materials can only be processed step by step starting from fresh herbs.
“Please lend me the divine light of Haotian.” Gongsun Ce said softly to the goddess Haotian beside him.
"Okay, I'll lend it to you." Gongsun Ce waved his hand lightly, and Haotian Shenhui leaped out like a flame, "But after you make the Tongtian Pill, you have to give me one."
“Of course.” Gongsun Ce nodded. Haotian Tiannv was in urgent need of recovering her cultivation at this moment, so she naturally wanted Tongtian Pills to help her break through.
The divine light of Haotian is dazzling, extremely hot, and extraordinarily bright, but it will not harm the essence of the medicinal materials.
Gongsun Ce carefully selected some medicinal materials and started the dehydration and frying process using Haotian Divine Light as fire.
Under the scorching divine light, the medicinal herbs gradually lost moisture, becoming dry and tough, while releasing a more intense medicinal fragrance.
Gongsun Ce's technique was extremely precise, as if he had experienced refining Tongtian Pills countless times, but Gongsun Ce was actually refining Tongtian Pills for the first time, or even his first time making an elixir.
Gongsun Ce stir-fries the herbs just right every time, ensuring that the medicinal properties of the herbs are retained to the greatest extent possible.
Next, Gongsun Ce placed another portion of medicinal materials in a special container and then released the cold air of annihilation.
This cold air destroys everything and is invisible and intangible, but it will not freeze the medicinal materials. Instead, it will quickly remove the moisture from the medicinal materials in a special way.
The medicinal materials gradually became hard and dry under the infiltration of the cold air, as if they had experienced a nirvana and rebirth.
Gongsun Ce's face was solemn. He knew that this process required extreme patience and precise control.
After processing these two parts of medicinal materials, Gongsun Ce began to use the Tianxia Xishen Finger.
He stretched out his fingers and gently slid them over the remaining herbs, as if playing a silent piece of music.
His fingers were flexible and powerful, and every touch was as gentle as a spring breeze, yet contained endless power.
Under his kneading, the medicinal materials gradually became soft and elastic, and the medicinal properties were fully released.
After finishing processing the medicinal materials, Gongsun Ce came to the alchemy furnace.
He once again waved the Haotian Divine Light released by the Haotian Goddess, turning it into a blazing flame.
The alchemy furnace gradually heated up under the scorching flames and made a "buzzing" sound, which was a sign that the alchemy furnace had completed preheating.
Gongsun Ce took a deep breath, turned the energy of heaven and earth into liquid, and slowly injected it into the alchemy furnace.
The liquid was as bright as the Milky Way, sparkling with mysterious light.
As the Yuan Force of heaven and earth turned into liquid and entered the alchemy furnace, Gongsun Ce began to throw the processed medicinal materials into the furnace one by one.
The medicinal materials melted quickly under the heat of the fire and blended with the liquid transformed from the elemental force of heaven and earth.
Gongsun Ce observed the changes in the furnace with full concentration, his eyes turned into golden pupils, staring at the alchemy furnace without blinking.
He knew that this process required his full concentration and that he could not be negligent in the slightest.
As time went by, the medicine in the furnace gradually became thick and viscous.
Gongsun Ce waved his hand and took the remains that had lost their medicinal properties out of the alchemy furnace.
The wreckage had lost its original luster and shape and became dull.
Gongsun Ce put them into a stone trough beside him, and the trough was gradually filled with residue.
Gongsun Ce continued to add medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace, and each addition was accompanied by precise control and calculation.
The liquid medicine in the furnace kept rolling and blending under the burning flame, gradually becoming crystal clear and emitting a charming medicinal fragrance.
The aroma of the medicine was so strong that it gradually spread out of the Taiwei Mansion, and the whole Xianyang was suddenly shrouded in the aroma of the medicine.
After smelling the fragrance of the medicine, the common people, officials, and warriors all felt as light as a swallow and as if they were floating in the air.
"What is the taste?"
"So comfortable!"
“I feel like I’m about to fly!”
There was a sudden panic on the streets of Xianyang, but Gongsun Ce was completely unaware of it.
