“An hour!?” Ciyun Dragon King who already stepped one foot out the door suddenly stopped.
He turned around and looked at Xie Yujia, wondering if something was wrong with his ears.
The other two dragon king who came along with Ciyun Dragon King also stared at Xie Yujia in astonishment.
“Yes, it should only take an hour, at most two hours. You can enjoy your tea while I go make the pill for you,” Xie Yujia looked at him and said sincerely.
Zhao Hongyu smiled and ordered Zhao Yanzi, “Yanzi, hurry up and get new tea for the three dragon kings!”
Zhao Yanzi was a bit stunned but hurried to run into the kitchen.
Zhao Guang, who was walking the three dragon kings to the door, remained calm.
He said, “There’s no hurry. Please stay and enjoy some tea.”
The three dragon kings looked at each other and walked back to the living before sitting down on the sofa.
Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren, conveying a very specific message and saying that she needed his help.
Hao Ren smiled. He lifted the jade furnace with one hand and threw it into his necklace. Then, he walked out to the garden with Xie Yujia and Little White.
Although this seemed normal to Hao Ren, it looked extremely shocking to the three dragon kings.
The jade furnace was quite large, and it hadn’t been shrunken with the dharma spell. However, Hao Ren was able to lift it easily and then store it in his storage space.
“The size of his storage space must be enormous!” they thought, “The storage dharma treasures of the East Ocean Dragon Palace are extraordinary as well!”
Amongst the five-elemental dragons, the metal-elemental dragons were best at cultivation, the wood- elemental dragons mastered elixir making, the fire-elemental dragons were good at making dharma treasures, the earth-elemental dragons specialized in array formations, and the water-elemental dragons were the most ordinary, but they just outnumbered the other clans and were geographically dispersed, forming a strong force.
Of course, compared to the human cultivators, the dragon cultivators had dragon cores, longevity, and faster cultivation. The dragon cultivators could easily reach Zhen-level, which was equivalent to the Core Formation Realm. However, after a few hundred years, if they knew they couldn’t reach Xun-level, they would start using their clan’s resources on studying elixir making, dharma treasure making, or array formations.
The human cultivators, on the other hand, could figure out whether they could reach the Core Formation Realm in a few decades. If they were able to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm but had no hopes of entering the Core Formation Realm, they would spend the next one or two hundred years focused on other things.
That was why the cultivation sects on and above Fifth Heaven were much better than the dragon cultivators in everything other than cultivations.
In theory, water-elemental dragons shouldn’t be good at any of these subjects.
However, the level 4 elixir master and Hao Ren’s necklace did not align with traditional stereotypes and surprised the three dragon kings.
“The East Ocean Dragon Palace not only has a level 4 elixir master but also a strong dharma treasure master! This dharma treasure master could create enormous storage treasures!” they thought.
“Please drink tea… Please drink tea…” Zhao Guang said happily, looking as if he were smiling brightly.
At this moment, Hao Ren was taking Xie Yujia up toward Fifth Heaven.
Since Xie Yujia wanted to make elixirs, she couldn’t do it at Zhao Yanzi’s home. Fifth Heaven was the best place to do it.
They first opened the array formation before going into Xie Yujia’s elixir making room. Xie Yujia took out the spiritual herbs from the golden box by order. Then, she found the recipe for the Rejuvenation Pill from the stack of recipes that Zhen Congming gave her.
Recipes were essential. For many pills, just having the materials weren’t enough since the proportion of materials greatly influenced the quality of the pills.
However, Xie Yujia had the support of Zhen Congming who was a grandmaster in this field. Zhen Congming had so many rare recipes that he could just give them to Xie Yujia as if they were just white paper. There was nothing to worry about.
Bam!
Hao Ren put the jade furnace in the center of the elixir making room.
There were initially two elixir furnaces in Xie Yujia’s elixir making room, but the two furnaces had been heated by Little White’s demon fire too many times. Since Little White was already a level 2 demon beast, its demon fire was much more powerful. Therefore, one of the elixir furnaces was no longer usable, and the other one seemed like it couldn’t be used for much longer either
“Hao Ren, help me guard this place,” Xie Yujia said to Hao Ren as she stood in front of the jade furnace.
“Ok!” Hao Ren gave her a firm nod.
In this concealed Ethereal Summit, Xie Yujia wouldn’t usually be disturbed.
However, with Hao Ren by her side, she felt safer.
Elixir making was something that required incredible focus for the pills not to be damaged. If this process was disturbed, the nature essence in the elixir furnace might cause a backlash against the elixir master, so they had to have their own elixir making room.
Xie Yujia knew what to do after she looked at the recipe.
She pointed with her fingers, and a golden note flew out, collecting one type of materials from the stone desk and putting it into the jade furnace.
“Little White!” Xie Yujia exclaimed lightly.
“Roar…” Little White spit out its demon fire.
It wasn’t Little White’s first time helping Xie Yujia in making elixirs, so the two of them already had some excellent coordination.
Of course, if Little White didn’t spit out the fire in time, it’s butt would get punished by Xie Yujia…
Xie Yujia’s fingers kept moving, and the ingredients that were wrapped in the gold notes flew into the jade furnace.
It had been a while since Hao Ren watched Xie Yujia make elixir pills. This time, he was able to see it up-close and realized how much she had improved.
Xie Yujia’s movements were elegant and skillful. If she were wearing a white robe with an eight-trigram symbol on it, the scene would have been even prettier to watch…
Little White continued to spit out demon fire.
Making elixirs was a type of training for Little White. After reaching level 2, there was a small demon core formed inside its body. As it continued to spit out the fire, the demon core was also being tempered to a certain extent.
There was no lid on the jade furnace, so white smoke came out as Little White’s demon fire continued to heat it up.
Xie Yujia’s gold and silver notes turned into gold and silver lights, dancing on top of the jade furnace, forming a small tornado.
Little White used all its energy to spit out the fire, and it sniffed with its nose hard, sucking in the white smoke through his nose.
The smoke from cooking spiritual herbs had some nature essence in it. It contained too many impurities for cultivators, but it was great for demon beasts.
Hua! Hua! Hua! Hua!
Xie Yujia used another four natal dharma notes.
The jade furnace that was originally sitting on the floor steadily started to spin in the air.
Little White had just taken a deep breath and sucked in some of that white smoke. It wiggled its tail and spat out stronger demon fire.
The heavy jade furnace spun faster in the air under the burning flames.
Xie Yujia picked up the last few ingredients lightly with her right hand and threw them into the furnace with a smooth trajectory.
“Good technique!” Hao Ren couldn’t help but praise.
Xie Yujia was really good at cooking, and she also had great potential in elixir making. Both cooking and elixir making were similar to Xie Yujia.
“Hu… hu…” Little White was breathing heavily, sticking out its tongue but continuing to spit out demon fire. It was tired from all the fire breathing.
They knew that using demon fire to make elixir pills usually required the demon beast to be at least level 4 or level 5. For Little White, the purity of the demon fire wasn’t a problem, but it wasn’t as powerful.
However, all the elixir pills that Xie Yujia fed Little White wasn’t wasted. Any other level 2 demon beast would not be able to withstand Little White’s fire!
“It’s done, Little White!” Xie Yujia exclaimed.
Little White immediately took back its tongued and lied on the floor exhaustedly.
Xie Yujia threw it three Essence Replenishment Pills and three Energy Fusion Pills.
Little White stuck out its long red tongue and devoured the six pills without even chewing.
Bam!
The jade furnace landed again on the floor.
Xie Yujia hit it with three Life-Death Notes, and it rang three times. Then, three pills bounced out of the jade furnace.
Almost simultaneously, Xie Yujia took out a white jade bottle from her bracelet. She raised it high up and caught the three pills accurately.
Ding, ding, ding… The pills rolled into the bottom of the bottle.
Hao Ren looked amused watching Xie Yujia’s smooth movements. He suddenly thought that her movements were beautiful.
Her arms were exceptionally white; even the white jade bottle wasn’t as pretty as her arm and fingers.
Xie Yujia used a piece of red cloth to close the bottom. Then, she let out a long sigh of relief and turned to Hao Ren who was standing at the entrance.
She raised her eyebrows and asked, “What is it?”
Hao Ren shook his head and smiled.
Xie Yujia really improved. She no longer was the girl who needed the Life-Death Notes to make elixirs. She now had the skill of her own to do it.
Her smooth movements in the elixir making room were a delight to the eye.
Hao Ren used five-elemental sword energy while Xie Yujia used the five-elemental Life-Death Notes. Now, Xie Yujia’s movements looked like she could disperse Life-Death Notes in all directions.
Although Xie Yujia could only use tens of Life-Death Notes now, she might be able to handle hundreds or even thousands of them in the future. That scene would be incredible!
Hao Ren had witnessed the power of Life-Death Notes before. The Life-Death Notes could be small or big, powerful or weak. The powerful ones could collapse a mountain to the ground while the smaller ones could slip into one’s body and lock acupoints.
It was a technique even more domineering than the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll.
Therefore, it was understandable why the Soul Formation Realm cultivator from the Kunlun Mountain was scared of old Grandma.
However, after Xie Yujia red the techniques, she realized that she wouldn’t be able to practice and cultivate the Life-Death Notes if old Grandma didn’t ‘plant’ the origin notes in her body.
It meant that even if Hao Ren wanted to, he would not be able to learn this set of techniques! Also, the origin notes were the symbols that told everyone Xie Yujia was the disciple of Qingfeng Hermit.
As long as Xie Yujia used the Life-Death Notes, similar-level opponents wouldn’t be able to defeat her, and the more powerful cultivators would have to keep some distance from her!
Old Grandma pretty much gave Xie Yujia the ability to never lose!
“What is going on?” Xie Yujia walked over to Hao Ren and waved her hands in front of his eyes.
“Nothing. I just realized that I can’t bully you anymore,” Hao Ren returned from his thoughts and said jokingly.
“What are you saying…” Xie Yujia murmured softly.
She bent down, dusted Little White’s butt, and sat on its back.
