Chapter 154 Resurrection Pill
At this moment, Li Yi did not expect that there was actually a little ghost hidden in an alchemy furnace. The little ghost was stealing the essence of the medicine. Presumably because of this reason, the yin and yang in the furnace were out of balance, the alchemy failed, and the furnace exploded.
Such a little ghost is invisible to other people, and even a master who has practiced acupuncture cannot detect it.
Only Li Yi, who had activated his medium, could see the ghost.
At this moment Li Yi rushed over instantly. The little devil who was stealing the medicine in the alchemy furnace was frightened when he met the pair of bright eyes. He quickly jumped out of the alchemy furnace and then drilled into the ground.
Ghosts are invisible, and once they burrow into the ground they can escape directly, and no one can do anything about them.
But Li Yi's reaction was obviously faster. The moment he saw the ghost, he immediately used the guiding technique.
Half of his arm was emitting a faint halo at this moment, and under the gathering of cosmic energy, Li Yi's arm was no longer an ordinary flesh and blood body. He could contact real ghosts and even had the capital to fight against ghosts.
A tall figure came over, and Li Yi just stretched out his hand and grabbed one of the kid's legs, then picked it up like a chicken.
As the halo condensed on the arm dissipated.
A vague human figure also appeared in front of everyone at this moment.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene.
"What is that? An invisible little man? Is this the thing that caused my alchemy to fail?" The old pharmacist opened his eyes wide, he had never thought that there would be such an evil thing hidden in his alchemy furnace.
Zhao Ge frowned immediately: "That's not a villain, it's a little ghost. I've seen ghosts before when I entered the Ghost Street. It's like this. It's just that ghosts can show up on the Ghost Street, but ghosts that leave the Ghost Street and enter the Yang World are not visible. Only powerful Yin gods can ignore the difference between Yin and Yang."
"Master, why did a little ghost come out out of nowhere?" Rong Niang asked curiously.
"It's already the end of the month. In addition, many people have died in Sanyang City recently, so naturally there have been a certain number of wandering ghosts. When the gods and ghosts come to the world on the first day of next month, they will take all these wandering ghosts away, and maybe there will be peace again." Zhao Ge said, and he also noticed Li Yi's arm.
Being surrounded by a halo, it is very unusual to be able to come into contact with ghosts.
"This thing is stealing medicine. Just now I saw a large amount of medicinal essence being absorbed by it." Li Yi said at this moment.
Stealing medicine?
"It's unheard of that a little devil would steal medicine." Everyone was amazed.
But the old pharmacist who was refining the elixir immediately got a little excited and said, "Yes, yes, I remember now. Coffin Ganoderma is a precious medicine that nourishes the soul. It is not only effective for living people, but also for ghosts. That's why it attracts ghosts to steal food. It's not just Coffin Ganoderma, the same is true for other medicines that nourish the soul. Now I understand why I failed when I was refining the Soul-Nourishing Pill before. It must have been because of the invasion of ghosts and the theft of the essence of the medicine. That's why the pill refining failed and only useless pills came out."
Li Yi's words solved a confusion that had been in the old pharmacist's heart for many years.
"Ghosts dare not show up in the daytime sunlight. If you want to make the elixir, it is best to do it at noon in the daytime sunlight. This way you can avoid being disturbed by ghosts and ensure the success of refining the soul-returning pill. Now it is evening, and the elixir furnace cannot be exposed to sunlight. Ghosts will walk in the shadows, approach the elixir furnace, and steal the essence of the elixir."
Then the experienced old pharmacist immediately thought of a solution.
"In that case, let's make the elixir tomorrow." Zhao Ge had no choice but to postpone it for a day.
However, Shen Shi, the owner of the Treasure House, calculated for a moment and said with difficulty: "Master Zhao, tomorrow is the first day of the lunar month. Tonight is the day when ghosts and gods travel. Although it will not affect the alchemy during the day, it is still an unlucky day. How about the day after tomorrow?"
"Is tomorrow the first day of the lunar year? I almost forgot. It is not a good day. We have to close the doors and windows early tomorrow to rest. It is not suitable for alchemy. Let's do it the day after tomorrow." Zhao Ge nodded. It was postponed for another day.
"If you delay for another two or three days, Dad, your injury will be ruined," Zhao Qian began to worry again.
The injury to her soul has been delayed for some time. If it is delayed for a few more days, she is worried that something unexpected will happen again.
"It's okay, just wait two or three days. Your father can withstand this injury." Zhao Ge said.
Li Yi's face was normal. He raised his hand and punched the ghost on the head. Because of the guiding technique, the energy in his arm was concentrated, which could hurt ghosts and gods. With one punch, the ghost who stole the medicine was smashed to pieces, and it disappeared on the spot. Then he said, "Why delay it? Just make the elixir this evening, and I will watch over it. Even if there are ghosts who come to steal the medicine, I can deal with it."
When the others saw that Li Yi could smash the ghost with one punch, they immediately felt relieved.
"Okay, then I'll do as Master Li said. I'll continue refining the elixir. As long as there's no interference from the little ghost, my elixir will succeed. If it fails, I'm willing to offer this head as an apology." The old pharmacist said with gritted teeth. He didn't believe that he couldn't refine the resurrection elixir today.
If you keep putting it off, what if you have more nightmares?
Li Yi said: "Master, just rest assured to make the elixir, and leave the rest to me."
The old pharmacist did not waste any more time and immediately ordered several apprentices to clean the furnace, re-prepare the medicine, and start the second refining.
soon.
The second refining began.
As the fire burned and various medicines were added, a strange aroma emanated. Ordinary people felt refreshed and invigorated by the smell of this medicine, but for evil spirits, it had a fatal attraction and could attract all the ghosts nearby.
But it was still evening and there was still sunlight. Some ghosts from underground were lured out and then quickly disappeared when exposed to the sunlight.
This is also the reason why refining the medicine went very smoothly at the beginning.
But not all ghosts are ignorant. Some ghosts seem to have a certain intelligence and know how to avoid the sun. They grope their way forward along the walls and in the shadows beside the houses. In just a moment, they have reached the vicinity of the alchemy furnace.
"Meng De, what's the situation?" Zhao Ge asked.
Li Yi was standing next to the alchemy furnace at this moment. His eyes were shining as he looked around. In his sight, at least three intelligent ghosts were quietly approaching.
"Many ghosts were attracted by the smell of the medicine. Most of them were just ordinary ghosts, ignorant and acting on instinct. There was no need to worry. Only a few ghosts wanted to steal the medicine, but they were frightened by me and didn't dare to come close."
"That's good."
Zhao Ge nodded and said, "I just didn't expect that there are so many evil things around us when we live on weekdays. Fortunately, ghosts and gods roam the world on the first day of every month, otherwise the world would be really unpeaceful. No wonder those imperial families have to share the world with ghosts and gods since ancient times." Li Yi was silent at this moment, because he was a little alert when the little ghost stole the medicine just now.
If even little ghosts know how to steal the essence of medicaments for food, then what do the legendary thousand-year-old ghosts and gods in the world eat?
It can't exist out of thin air.
This is simply not common sense.
From a practitioner's perspective, any powerful individual needs "food" to survive.
Warriors feed on qi and blood, and usually take qi and blood pills, tonics, and meat.
Practitioners feed on cosmic energy, supplemented by various nutritious meats. The stronger the evolver, the more cosmic energy they consume daily. If the intake cannot keep up with the consumption, the evolver will stop evolving or even degenerate.
But now is not the time to think about that.
As the alchemy process continued, the aroma of the medicine became stronger and stronger. Finally, a ghost could no longer resist its greedy appetite and rushed towards the alchemy furnace.
Li Yi was too lazy to say anything more and went forward directly. He once again mobilized the cosmic energy in his body and gathered it on his arms.
As a punch was thrown, a halo suddenly appeared.
The ghost was instantly shattered into pieces by him, and then disappeared between heaven and earth.
"With my current level of guidance skills, it is still easy to deal with these ordinary ghosts. I just don't know if it will be effective when encountering more powerful ghosts." Li Yi said to himself.
He guarded the alchemy furnace while killing ghosts.
Under such circumstances, the process of refining the medicine went very smoothly. In less than half an hour, as all the medicinal fragrance dissipated, the old pharmacist shouted excitedly: "Everyone, the Soul-Restoring Pill has been refined. All the essences of the great medicines are gathered in one. It fills the gaps and does not leak. The pill is a success."
After saying that, he excitedly opened the alchemy furnace and took out several finger-sized pills from it.
The pills were emerald green with various strange patterns on them. When you counted them carefully, there were exactly ten, no more, no less.
"Is this the Resurrection Pill?" Li Yi took a look and asked, "Master, what other uses does this thing have besides healing soul injuries?"
"It can cure the soul-leaving disease and regulate the body. Ordinary people can hear and see clearly, be full of energy, and strengthen their spirits after taking it. I heard that it can also help strong people who practice spirit cultivation, but I don't know whether it is true or not." The old pharmacist said: "In any case, this soul-restoring pill is a very precious medicine. There are three precious medicines in it, and there are more than a dozen expensive auxiliary medicines. Ordinary martial arts halls will have to empty their funds just to practice this furnace."
"Master Zhao, please take the medicine quickly. I think you will need at least two soul-resurrection pills to heal your soul injury. Don't delay any longer."
"Okay." Zhao Ge walked over immediately, picked up a resurrection pill and swallowed it immediately.
As the pill entered his stomach, it immediately dissolved, and then condensed into an invisible essence that rushed straight to his forehead. In an instant, he felt much more energetic, and at the same time, a lot of stagnant qi and blood in his body began to recover.
Just one pill, and Zhao Ge's spiritual injury was almost healed.
Seeing the miraculous effect, Zhao Ge swallowed the second pill.
After taking the second resurrection pill, as the second powerful medicinal energy washed over his brain, he was no longer confused. His eyes immediately became bright and energetic. At the same time, all the energy and blood in his body began to circulate, and his overall condition recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even Zhao Ge's white hair began to turn black at this time.
"Yes, I can feel that my head is no longer dizzy, my spirit is no longer weak, and the stagnant energy and blood in my body are all starting to flow away. I only need one more night's sleep, and I will be completely recovered." Zhao Ge was in a very happy mood at the moment.
After so much trouble and going through so much, he finally recovered to his peak form again.
"Is this medicine so magical? I want to try it too. By the way, Master, is it okay for me to eat this?" Li Yi asked curiously while holding a pill.
"It's okay. It can cure diseases and strengthen the body. This is the essence of precious medicine and is extremely nourishing." The old pharmacist said with a smile.
Although it would be a waste for ordinary people to eat it, the Resurrection Pill came from the Zhao Family Martial Arts School after all, and Li Yi was the eldest senior brother of the Zhao Family Martial Arts School, so it was only natural for him to eat all the rest.
With the intention of researching, Li Yi swallowed a soul-returning pill.
Rather than calling it a pill, it is more like essence wrapped in a layer of medicine shell. After swallowing it, the pill breaks into pieces and a scent rushes straight to the head.
However, soon, this breath was captured by the little man in Li Yi's consciousness world and all gathered in it.
The little man in the consciousness seemed to have received some supplements and actually grew a little bigger. At the same time, Li Yi's consciousness seemed to have been tempered and became stronger than usual.
"Brother Yi, your eyes." At this moment, Zhao Xi said hurriedly.
"What's wrong with my eyes?" Li Yi asked immediately.
Rong Niang said, "Brother, your eyes are glowing, and seem to be brighter than usual. I don't know if I am seeing things."
"My eyes are brighter? Is there such a change?" Li Yi's expression changed slightly.
He could feel that the Resurrection Pill was of great help to him. With just one pill, his spirit seemed to have undergone a transformation. He also had a feeling that it would be easier for him to use the Guidance Technique than before.
Zhao Ge, the master, also noticed this. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Meng De, Master's injury has healed. The Resurrection Pill is useless to Master. You can take the remaining Resurrection Pills back and eat them all. Also, Master Shen, let your old pharmacist continue to refine the third batch. After today, Master Shen will help me purchase more medicinal materials for refining the Resurrection Pill. If the medicine is complete, you can help me refine a few batches of Resurrection Pills. My Zhao's Martial Arts School will bear all the expenses."
The disciples didn't understand, but he was experienced and saw at a glance that the Resurrection Pill would help Li Yi's practice and seemed to strengthen his innate supernatural powers.
This alone is more than enough.
