C13 Xiao Fu Dan

Early in the morning, Li Ming walked out of the cave and went into the forest. Following the moves in his mind, he began to practice the sword techniques of the Gale Sword Technique.

Last night, after Li Ming had successfully cultivated the Gale Sword Technique's cultivation method, he began to practice the Gale Sword Technique's techniques in his mind. However, perhaps because his current cultivation was insufficient, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to successfully cultivate the last move of the Gale Sword Technique, 'Feng Xiao Yun San'.

Fortunately, he was not a person who liked to be tangled in one matter. Therefore, when he discovered that he was temporarily unable to successfully refine the pill, he began to cultivate with his legs crossed. Until now.

At this time, when he was outside the cave, Li Ming's body moved according to the first move of the Gale Sword Technique in his mind, and the sword in his hand also began to move.

"Gale Sword Technique's Falling Flower Palm." Li Ming moaned softly.

He squatted down and swung the sword in his hand forward. The sword hit the tree before him and a white line appeared on the tree. The white line slowly expanded and then with a cracking sound, the tree fell down.

"Gale Sword Technique's Wind Sweeping the Fallen Leaves, Gale Sword Technique's Wind Raising Clouds." With a turn of the sword force in Li Ming's hand, the second and third forms of the Gale Sword Technique were released from his hands. They struck the ground in front of him, causing two cracks to instantly appear.

Li Ming never thought that he would be able to unleash the second and third moves when he was practicing them for the first time.

However, even though the first use looked pretty good, it was not the end.

After pondering for a while, Li Ming said with a heavy tone: "Gale Sword Technique's Feng Xiao Yun San."

With the Feng Xiao Yun San, within a few meters of Li Ming, the wind gradually picked up, forming a vortex. Suddenly, the vortex seemed to have been interrupted by someone, and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing the disappearing whirlpool, Li Ming muttered: "Indeed, my cultivation is not here yet, so I am unable to execute it. However, even if we do not use this move, the first three forms of the Gale Sword Technique is equivalent to a Thirteen Lifesteal Swords's four swords. "

"However! It really is a powerful sword technique! "

Although the Gale Sword Technique could not compare to the high level martial arts of Hua Xia, it was still considered a pretty good sword technique for Li Ming.

Now, after he had finished cultivating the Gale Sword Technique, Li Ming had arrived at the heart of the mountain range. Once again, he came to this core zone. His purpose this time was not to cause trouble for the demonic beasts, but to find the medicinal ingredients needed to refine the Great Revitalizing Pellet and the Small Revitalizing Pellet.

The Great Revitalizing Pellet and the Small Revitalizing Pellet were two kinds of miraculous pellets from the ancient martial world. One could enhance a person's cultivation, and the other could be used to heal injuries.

The ingredients needed to refine the Great Recovery Pill were five hundred years of ginseng, five hundred years of Polygonum multiflorum, five hundred years of snow lotus, five hundred years of Radix Sophorae Flavescentis, and more than five hundred years of Scarlet Fruit. The other ingredients required were not complete, and the minimum requirement was to be a medicinal ingredient that was more than 300 years old.

The ingredients needed to refine the Small Revitalizing Pellet only required two hundred years of age, not ginseng that was more than two hundred years old, clover that was more than two hundred years old, and green fruit that was more than two hundred years old. With the support of other supplementary materials, he would be able to successfully refine the Small Revitalizing Pellet.

Even though these medicinal herbs weren't very advanced in age, it wasn't an easy task to find them in a short period of time.

Right now, Li Ming was slowly walking in the mountain range, scanning the plants around him from time to time.

At this time, it had been five to six hours since Li Ming left the cave. During this period, he found two main ingredients for refining the Great Revitalizing Pellet: five hundred years old ginseng, three hundred years old ginseng, six hundred years old ginseng, four hundred years old Polygonum multiflorum, one six hundred years old ginseng, one seven hundred years old ginseng, and several other supplementary materials.

Zhu Quan's memories were correct. In this place, there were quite a few medicinal ingredients that had lived for more than two hundred years. Of these medicinal ingredients, Li Ming was confident that he could refine a single batch of Small Revitalizing Pellet.

"Eh? This is? Could it be a medicinal herb that is more than 700 years old? " Li Ming suddenly smelt a scent. This smell was emitted from a medicinal herb, and was at least seven hundred years old. Even the seven hundred years old Head of the Guards who he had just found did not have such a strong medicinal smell.

Li Ming immediately controlled his microstep to fly next to the medicinal plant. It was a Radix Sophorae Flavescentis, and only a few leaves were exposed on the ground. Seeing this Radix Sophorae Flavescentis, Li Ming was even more sure that it was a medicinal plant that was more than 700 years old.

This was because the Radix Sophorae Flavescentis was different from the other herbs, the older the Radix Sophorae Flavescentis, the fewer leaves were exposed on the ground, and this Radix Sophorae Flavescentis only had a small amount of leaves on the ground. As a result, this Radix Sophorae Flavescentis was most likely to be a 700 year old medicinal plant, moreover, there were many that might be 1000 year old medicinal plants.

Just as Li Ming was about to pick the Radix Sophorae Flavescentis, a grey light suddenly shot out from the bush to his left.

As Li Ming's attention was all on the Radix Sophorae Flavescentis, his guard was lowered. Thus, even though Li Ming had sensed it when the grey light was shot out, he was a step too late and was hit on his left arm.

However, luckily, because of Li Ming's quick dodging, the grey light had only injured his skin and muscles, not his bones.

Although his left arm was injured, Li Ming used his right hand to immediately take out the treasure sword from the storage bag, while staring at the left side of the grass.

Li Ming did not rashly attack, because at this moment, he did not discover any trace of the enemy. Moreover, where his left arm had been injured, there was a feeling of paralysis, which was clearly a sign of poisoning!

Now, after Li Ming understood that the grey light was poisonous, he became even more careful. Although Li Ming had an extremely strong recovery ability due to his ethereal body, the ordinary poison wouldn't pose much of a threat to him. However, if he was struck by an extremely large amount of grey light, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Perhaps because after seeing that Li Ming was not severely injured by his grey light, the enemy had waited for a while before sending another grey light over.

When Li Ming saw another grey light flying towards him, he immediately used his microstep to dodge and jumped to the side of the grass.

The grass that had been swept by the falling flowers scattered on the ground as if it had been swept by a typhoon. However, the enemy in the dark didn't show himself.

Li Ming knew that his sword strike did not harm the enemy in the shadows, and continued to look around vigilantly.

When he was on alert, time would always pass by very slowly. Just fifteen minutes of time, and Li Ming felt as if a very long time had passed by.

Because the current Li Ming had not reached the Postnatal realm nor had he activated the Sensory Perception of a Fighter, he could only rely on his own reactions. It was also because of this reason that Li Ming did not discover any traces of enemies in the darkness during this quarter of an hour.

Right now, Li Ming who had not activated her Sensory Perception of a Fighter and was facing a normal enemy would be fine, but if she met an enemy that could hide herself, she would be at a disadvantage. Just like now, because she could not discover the enemy's body, she could only retaliate.

A quarter of an hour slowly passed by and Li Ming and his enemy, who had sneakily ambushed him, were still in a confrontation. Li Ming did not suspect that the enemy had left.

Li Ming guessed that the enemy was probably looking for an opportunity to ambush him. He knew that he had to be patient in the face of his enemy in the dark.

After staring at each other for such a long time, it was almost dark. In the mountain range, once the sky darkened, other than a few special demon beasts, basically everyone would come out. The mountain range at night belonged to demon beasts. As a result, when Li Ming saw that the sky was almost dark, he slowly started to worry. The enemy who was hiding in the dark seemed to know that Li Ming was afraid of getting dark, so he would not come out just like Li Ming.

"Since you want to find a chance to sneak attack me, I'll give you one." Li Ming saw that the enemy in the dark was still not coming out, and thought deeply in his heart. After that, he kept the sword in his hand and flew towards the Radix Sophorae Flavescentis.

At this time, perhaps the enemy hiding in the dark saw Li Ming keeping his sword, and turned around. Another grey light shot towards Li Ming's back.

Although Li Ming kept his sword and turned around, he did not let his guard down at all. He felt another gray light approaching him, and immediately activated his microstep to dodge it. At the same time, a monoyang finger shot out towards the grey light.

The enemy who was hiding in the dark evidently did not expect Li Ming to still attack from afar, and was struck by Li Ming in an instant. At this time, Li Ming also saw what was ambushing him.

This was a grey little wolf. From Zhu Quan's memories, he knew that this wolf was called the stealth wolf, and it had the ability to become invisible, but it would never grow much, and when it reached adulthood, it could reach the Core Period. Furthermore, it was a species living in a group.

If it was just a group living together, Li Ming was not worried, but stealth wolf was a type of demonic beast that held a grudge. If someone hurt their own kind, then their companion would chase after that person until they killed that person.

Although he did not know why the other companions of the stealth wolf had not come out yet, Li Ming knew that if he did not finish the stealth wolf as soon as possible, then when her companions came, he would be in danger.

Thinking about that, Li Ming immediately took out his sword from the storage bag and rushed towards it.

At this time, because the stealth wolf was struck by Li Ming's monoyang finger on its right leg, it did not immediately become invisible and escape. Seeing Li Ming holding his sword and rushing towards it, the stealth wolf immediately activated its invisibility and disappeared from where it was standing.

Seeing the stealth wolf disappear on the spot once again, Li Ming laughed coldly: "Do you still want to remain invisible? You're underestimating me too much! "

After saying that, he immediately used the monoyang finger to attack the left side, and then used the microstep to attack where the monoyang finger was.

Right at the tip of Li Ming's sword, there was a trace of blood, following that, the blood stain expanded.

Following the expansion of the bloodstain, the figure of the stealth wolf also slowly revealed itself.

At this time, Li Ming realized that his sword had just pierced its chest, while her monoyang finger had hit its left leg.

Arriving at the place where the stealth wolf was, Li Ming used his long sword to take out the stealth wolf's beast core. Then, he walked to the side of the Radix Sophorae Flavescentis and carefully took it out.

In fact, only by placing the medicinal ingredients in a jade box would they be able to better preserve their medicinal power. However, Li Ming did not have a jade box right now.

Not even an hour after Li Ming left the place where the Radix Sophorae Flavescentis was, a few stealth wolf appeared here. When they saw the stealth wolf that had its beast core taken away, they roared towards the sky and split it up to eat its corpse. After wandering around a few rounds, they took the lead and chased after Li Ming who had just left.

At this time, Li Ming did not know that a group of stealth wolf were chasing after him. He was currently recalling a book he had seen in his previous life, the < Alchemy Method >.

This book was written by Xu Fu during the Qin Dynasty. Later on, it was obtained by the first generation leader of the Free and Unrestrained Sect. Unfortunately, it was only an incomplete book.

The < Alchemy Method > mentioned that in order to successfully refine medicinal pellets, one would need a Pill Cauldron. Furthermore, one would need to find a place with Earth Fire to refine them. If he didn't have a place to use the earth fire, he would need to open up a meridian in his body to melt the fire, and use the true qi in his body to transform the fire to concoct pills.

Right now, Li Ming wanted to find a place with Earth Fire, it was not easy at all. But, luckily, there was a method to open a merged fire meridian in the incomplete pill manual.

The method in the pill forging technique was to draw out a sliver of zhenqi from the Dantian, pass it through the lungs, and then transfer it into the palm of his hand. After finishing, he could convert the zhenqi into fire and use it in pill forging.

After understanding the method, Li Ming started to follow suit.

After half an hour, Li Ming finally transported that bit of Innate Qi to near his lungs. The next most important step, was to channel that bit of Innate Qi into his lungs.

At this time, Li Ming slowly calmed his heart, and slowly channeled some of his Innate Qi into his lungs.

Gradually, an hour passed.

In just an hour, Li Ming had already channeled all of this Innate Qi into his lungs, to the point where it was about to escape his lungs.

Following that, Li Ming slowly channeled his silk true qi into his hand, and opened a storage space for true energy in the center of his palm. Feeling that he had finally succeeded in opening the Flaming Meridian, Li Ming heaved a sigh of relief.

Next, it was time to refine the Small Revitalizing Pellet.

Li Ming took out the Pill Cauldron from the storage bag and placed it on the ground. Then, from the storage bag, he took out two hundred years' worth of ginseng, two hundred years' worth of Thousand Leaves Grass, two hundred years' worth of green fruit and a bunch of supplementary materials.

Looking at the materials, Li Ming first placed the ginseng into the Pill Cauldron, channeled his Innate Qi through the Flaming Meridian, then released a flame from his palm to refine the ginseng inside the Pill Cauldron for a while, then placed the green fruit inside the Pill Cauldron and continued to cultivate for a while. Then, he placed the Thousand Leaves Grass into the Pill Cauldron and placed the supporting materials into the Pill Cauldron, refining them together.

After a while, after refining all the medicinal ingredients, Li Ming began the final stage of concocting the pellet.

At this time, suddenly, there was a muffled sound and the Pill Cauldron emitted a thick smoke.

Seeing the thick smoke, Li Ming knew that he had failed in concocting the pill this time.

However, this did not go against Li Ming's expectations. He had never thought that he would be able to successfully refine the Small Revitalizing Pellet on his first try.

After a moment of pause, Li Ming followed the sequence from before and started his second attempt.

Just like the previous time, the previous refining process was completed smoothly, but in the final and pill stages, it still failed.

Seeing the Pill Cauldron that was emitting thick smoke, Li Ming did not rush to refine the third time. Instead, he started to think about the process of refining the second and third time.

"The first two times I fought with Dan, everything went smoothly. However, every time I fought with Dan, there would be a failure. It seems that I have to change the course of my relationship with Dan."

He took out the medicinal materials needed to refine the Small Revitalizing Pellet and began his third attempt.

This time was the same as the previous two times, with the first stage extremely smooth. In the final and pill stages, Li Ming did not completely fuse the medicinal liquid formed by all of the medicinal ingredients, but instead, he fused with the ginseng and the cyan fruit, and then the Thousand Leaf Grass. Finally, he fused with the other supporting materials, and slowly used his flames to divide the medicinal liquid into six identical pellets.

However, the idea was very beautiful, the reality was very cruel. After Li Ming fused the main ingredient together, just as he was about to fuse the secondary ingredient, with a "pu" sound, a thick smoke came out from the Pill Cauldron once again.

The third time Li Ming refined the Small Revitalizing Pellet, it was still a failure.

Looking at the still smoking Pill Cauldron, Li Ming was speechless for a while. Although he had already changed the process of fusing the two pellets, but he still failed. This could be considered an improvement!

This time, Li Ming did not think about how he failed, nor did he continue refining the pills. Instead, he calmed down and closed his eyes to cultivate for a while.

An hour later, Li Ming once again removed the medicinal ingredients needed to refine the Small Revitalizing Pellet from the storage bag. Using the method of the third time he refined the pellet, he once again fused the main ingredients together. This time, he did not fuse all the supporting ingredients together with the main ingredient. Instead, he fused all the supporting ingredients together and slowly mixed the supporting ingredients together. Fortunately, this time, he did not see any Pill Cauldron smoke.

Li Ming controlled the flame as he slowly divided the medicinal liquid in one of the six large pellets into six smaller pellets.

After another hour, a medicinal fragrance drifted out from the Pill Cauldron. Smelling this medicinal fragrance, Li Ming knew that after three failures, he had finally succeeded in refining the Small Revitalizing Pellet.

Opening up the Pill Cauldron, Li Ming saw four snow-white pellets lying in the center of the Pill Cauldron. Although Li Ming had split the medicinal liquid into six small pellets, two of them had turned into charcoal at the last moment.

Li Ming took out the four snow-white pellets and placed them in his hands. Smelling that rich medicinal fragrance, Li Ming became excited in his heart, not only did this mean that Li Ming had successfully refined the Small Revitalizing Pellet, it also meant that this time, on Li Ming's path of cultivation, there was an additional type of assistance.

After placing the four pellets that he had successfully refined into the storage bag, Li Ming reached out and took out the two char from the Pill Cauldron.

Looking at the two charred pills in his hands and smelling the charred smell, Li Ming wondered if the two pills had any medicinal effects. Obviously, it was impossible to tell with the naked eye whether the two coke had any medicinal properties.

"Looks like I need to find a guy to test it out."

Li Ming did not have the guts to test the effects of the pill, he was already afraid of the Spirit Boosting Pill. Last time, the Spirit Boosting Pill was refined by cultivators, but after Li Ming consumed it, an accident occurred. It was understandable, but this time, it was refined by him himself. Right now, Li Ming did not want to be killed by his own pills.

Thinking about that, Li Ming placed the char into the storage bag, then closed his eyes and started to replenish the Innate Qi consumed by refining the pill.
