Asura Mad Emperor

Qinchuan looked inward at himself and carefully sensed his foundation, discovering that his True Qi had indeed become even more pure and condensed, immediately nodding with satisfaction.

"It is indeed worthy of being the Gathering Spirit Lingzhu Fruit, the effect is really good. Not only did it advance me to the Meridian Opening Realm without being unfounded, but it also further refined my True Qi and enriched my foundation, saving me a lot of time that would have been spent consolidating my cultivation level," Qinchuan said with a satisfied smile.

Qinchuan smiled contentedly.

"What cultivation technique do you practice, and what kind of aptitude do you possess that allows you to completely refine a thousand-year-old Gathering Spirit Lingzhu Fruit in such a short period?" Zhou Xi came back from her shock but still couldn't help expressing her surprise as she asked.

Qinchuan cast a disdainful glance at her, "Is this something a maid should be concerned about?"

"..."

Zhou Xi glared fiercely at Qinchuan upon hearing this.

Just then, Li Ran and Wang Hao finally caught up from behind.

The two were covered in bloodstains, their long hair disheveled, and their clothes tattered, looking extremely wretched with injuries all over their bodies.

Seeing Qinchuan and Zhou Xi waiting ahead, the two hurriedly dragged their bodies and quickened their pace to approach.

"Qin... Brother Qin."

Li Ran and Wang Hao looked disheveled, their faces pale and their breaths weak as they gasped for air.

After Qinchuan and Zhou Xi left, the two no longer held any hope. Facing several disciples from the Li Mountain Sword Sect, they could only fight with all their might, enduring a tragic battle they had never experienced before, until they finally managed to kill their opponents and stumbled their way up, catching up.

"A few little underlings with limited strength, and you two actually exerted so much effort. However, you didn't disappoint me after all, at least you managed to stay alive and follow up," Qinchuan looked at the two of them and casually threw two bottles of elixirs: "These are healing pills I have refined. Take them quickly and refine them. They will not only heal your wounds but also replenish the vital energy you've expended, so make sure not to leave any lingering problems."

Li Ran and Wang Hao caught the elixirs and hurriedly thanked him.

As direct disciples of the sect leader, Wu Tian, they naturally had heard about how high Qinchuan's alchemy skills were.

The elixirs given by Qinchuan were definitely not of the mortal grade.

The two did not hesitate, immediately taking the healing pills and quickly refining them.

The healing pills dissolved upon entering their throats, and a dense and pure force immediately surged towards their injuries, causing their wounds to heal at a visibly rapid pace.

It really was like a miracle spirit pill, with immediate effects.

At Qinchuan's side, Zhou Xi's eyes flickered involuntarily when Qinchuan threw the pills to Li Ran and Wang Hao, her face revealing an elusive smile.

She had initially thought that Qinchuan was truly an indifferent person without a hint of human warmth, but now it seemed that although he might speak arrogantly and behave as if he did not care about anyone, he was actually cold on the outside and warm on the inside.

She recognized the pills Qinchuan had given to Li Ran and Wang Hao as Nine Revolutions Spiritual Pills.

She had seen Qinchuan refining Nine Revolutions Spiritual Pills 'Awakening Pill - Pupil' before and knew that the process of refining the Nine Revolutions Spiritual Pill was much more complex than that of a regular spirit pill.

Even with Qinchuan's profound alchemy skills, refining a Nine Revolutions Spiritual Pill would still consume some energy.

For simply healing wounds, ordinary healing pills would suffice.

But at this moment, Qinchuan was able to give two Nine Revolutions Healing Spirit Pills to Li Ran and Wang Hao without any hesitation, not only for the sake of their speedy recovery but also to prevent these injuries from causing any future problems.

At the same time, considering that Qinchuan had earlier taken her away ahead of time, it was apparent that he had intentionally put Li Ran and Wang Hao through a test.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

Feeling Zhou Xi's gaze, Qinchuan cast a disdainful glance at her and said indifferently, "Even if you are really coveting my body, please be a bit more subtle and reserved."

"Who's coveting your body!"

Zhou Xi immediately glared at Qinchuan, grinding her teeth in anger, this jerk was really asking for a beating with his words!

"It's not the best situation. Otherwise, if I let you stay by my side, I'd have to be constantly on guard against you. How tiring would that be?"

Qinchuan said slowly.

"You!"

Zhou Xi was so angry that her face turned red. If she felt capable of defeating him, she would probably have charged at him to suppress him by now.

A short while later.

The injuries on Li Ran and Wang Hao had completely healed.

Not only that, but after going through that life-and-death struggle and breaking their own limits, their cultivation levels also improved. They both had broken through to the intermediate stage of the Fifth Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm.

"Thank you, Brother Qin, for the pills, and thank you for the guidance and training you gave us earlier."

As soon as Li Ran and Wang Hao recovered, they immediately knelt before Qinchuan, expressing their sincere gratitude.

Having seen Qinchuan and Zhou Xi there, they understood that Qinchuan had deliberately refrained from letting Zhou Xi help earlier, intending to train and cultivate them.

Had they not experienced the intense battle earlier, they would not have been able to break their own limits and take advantage of the misfortune to greatly increase their cultivation levels.

Qinchuan waved his hand and said, "Now that everything is fine, let's continue on our way."

With that, Qinchuan took the lead and started walking towards the dense forest ahead.

The primeval forest before them was filled with towering ancient trees and an overwhelming spiritual energy. There were more spiritual plants here than in the outer areas of the Myriad Spirit Garden.

However, countless demon beasts were born in this primeval dense forest. Therefore, despite the abundance of spiritual medicine, few people previously dared to enter rashly.

Now, however, the spiritual medicine in the peripheral areas of the Myriad Spirit Garden had been trampled and pillaged.

To obtain more of the precious spirit herbs and medicines, one would have to venture deeper.

Naturally, Qinchuan did not take these small demon beasts seriously.

However, after the group had traveled a considerable distance, they still hadn't spotted a single demon beast.

"What's going on? There's not a single demon beast in here!"

Zhou Xi and the others couldn't help but express their astonishment.

Since entering this vast, unparalleled primeval dense forest, they had been on high alert, cautiously guarding their surroundings, yet they hadn't seen a single demon beast, not even any poisonous insects.

On the contrary, along the way, they encountered many precious and impressively old spiritual medicines!

Even rare spiritual medicines with a thousand years of medicinal age seemed quite common here.

Here, the so-called "medicinal age" referred to the value of the medicine's potency, not its actual growth years.

"Blood Jade Ganoderma!"

"Brother Qin, there's a Blood Jade Ganoderma here!"

When the group found another extremely rare and precious medicine, they were all delighted and excited.

"Why is the root of this Blood Jade Ganoderma red?"

Zhou Xi exclaimed in shock.

Qinchuan, seeing the ruddiness at the roots of the Blood Jade Ganoderma, spoke up, "The value of this Blood Jade Ganoderma's potency is approaching 20,000 years."

"When a Blood Jade Ganoderma reaches a 20,000-year medicinal age, it can transform into a Blood Jade Ganoderma, which is a holy-grade healing herb. Combined with Black Dragon Grass, Earth Spirit Fruit, and several other auxiliary herbs, it can be refined into a Blood Jade Earth Longevity Pill, which can increase one's lifespan by five hundred years."

"If combined with Sky Heart Grass, Blood Sun Flower, and several other auxiliary herbs, it can be refined into a top-grade healing pill known as the Life Creation Pill, which is said to bring the dead back to life and mend broken bones."

"However, if one consumes either the Blood Jade Ganoderma or the Blood Jade Ganoderma directly, regardless of its overwhelming potency, even those at the Spirit Martial Realm, Dao Palace Realm, or even Myriad Manifestation Realm, if they refine and ingest it on their own, their bodies would explode and they would die."

Qinchuan spoke with authority, leaving Zhou Xi and the others dumbfounded. The idea that Blood Jade Ganoderma could transform into Blood Jade Ganoderma was something that they had never heard of before.
