In the past few days, the headquarters of the Lianfeng Sword Sect has been bustling with visitors.

Elder Jiang jokingly said that he had been stationed here for several years, but he had never received more guests than he had in the past few days.

These were all elders from other sects whom they knew, coming to inquire about the Nascent Soul Pill. Whether they were familiar with the sect or not, they all came to visit, subtly asking about the origin of the Nascent Soul Pill.

Elder Jiang simply said he didn't know, that it was his disciple's own destiny, and that as an elder, he shouldn't interfere.

Some people were persuaded to go back by this explanation, while others persisted in coming to inquire, trying to find clues about how Shi Xuan obtained the Nascent Soul Pill. If it was obtained in this outer region, they would like to try their luck.

But in the end, all they could get was nothing, because the Nascent Soul Pill was made by Shi Xuan himself, and the rarest Blue Jade Grass was also grown by Shi Xuan himself. Where else could they get it?

Inside the camp, it's best for the team members to sit together and chat, while the alchemists and artifact builders handle some materials.

Lu Wenxing neither knew how to refine pills nor how to forge weapons. With nothing to do, he went to the front council hall to gather information and would return to report later.

At this moment, he was animatedly imitating the mannerisms of Elder Biezong as he spoke to his teammates.

He casually stroked his non-existent beard, paced back and forth, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I wonder if your disciples have been on any special missions recently. There are many dangers in this outer realm, so we must be careful."

Then, mimicking Elder Jiang's manner, he smiled and replied, "The children are progressing step by step, doing only basic tasks, and haven't been to any dangerous places."

Roles reversed: "You've never been to dangerous places? That's good, that's good... These floating islands nearby have been visited by all the disciples from other regions several times over the years, and they've been developed to the point that there's hardly anything left. It's not easy to have any fortuitous encounters!"

Elder Jiang replied, "That's right. It's difficult to even complete the mission. We used to be able to find a few Tranquilizing Flowers, but now there's not a single one left in any place where people can pass! Not to mention anything else."

...

Lu Wenxing laughed heartily at this point: "That man always tried to steer the conversation back to the Nascent Soul Pill, but Elder Jiang just wouldn't pick up on it. The two of them talked at cross purposes for a long time. Haha, Elder Jiang is now quite adept at this. He's really good at playing Tai Chi!"

He even gave a thumbs-up as he spoke.

The best team members, who had just sat around, were overjoyed. They had only taken out a Nascent Soul Pill, yet it had already caused such a sensation. If they found out that their team was distributing Nascent Soul Pills as a perk, that would be a disaster.

Lu Wenxing was about to learn more when suddenly his expression changed, and he suddenly collapsed to the ground, motionless.

The team members thought he was just joking around and were still laughing and joking. Only Shi Xuan suddenly felt something was wrong. She suddenly remembered that Lu Wenxing had gained a new ice spirit root during the Six Sects Competition.

He encountered this problem last time because of the conflict between his spiritual roots.

Shi Xuan rushed forward, turned the fallen Lu Wenxing around, and placed his hand on his pulse point to probe his internal energy.

Sure enough, within Lu Wenxing's body, two kinds of spiritual energy clashed fiercely, fluctuating between hot and cold, pushing his meridians to the brink of rupture.

This powerful impact caused Lu Wenxing to faint from the shock.

After Shi Xuan turned Lu Wenxing over, everyone realized that his face was turning pale and then red, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. Lu Wenxing had really fainted!

The team members immediately put down what they were doing and surrounded him.

Shi Xuan gestured for them to stop, then took out the pills that he had given Lu Wenxing last time to alleviate the conflict between their spiritual roots.

This time, Lu Wenxing took longer to recover than before, and it was quite a while before he opened his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his younger sister Shi's serious expression and immediately dared not utter a sound, only staring blankly at Shi Xuan.

"How many times has this happened?" Shi Xuan asked seriously.

It took Lu Wenxing a while to realize that what was being said was about his health problems.

He muttered, "Not counting the Six Sects Grand Competition, you had one since you came to the outer realms, this is the second time."

Looking at his face, Shi Xuan thought to himself that it was probably because this guy was in a hurry to advance to the outer realm and used too much spiritual power.

But this issue needs to be addressed, otherwise, if this hidden danger remains, it could be fatal if it flares up in the wild.

Shi Xuan went to examine his meridians again. Although he had already taken the pills, the two forces were still fighting each other, only to a lesser degree. It seemed that he would not recover anytime soon.

Shi Xuan quickly racked his brains for a solution, trying to figure out how to reconcile these two inherently incompatible spiritual roots and resolve his current predicament.

The "All Things Grow" technique can solve this problem, but cultivating it requires all five spiritual roots. Are there any other cultivation methods? Or perhaps external factors like elixirs?

After searching deep into his memory, Shi Xuan finally remembered a kind of elixir: the Rejuvenating Elixir.

This kind of pill is originally used for severely damaged meridians that cannot be repaired. Taking this Rejuvenating Pill can reshape the meridians and forcibly open up a new meridian.

Since Lu Wenxing's current situation is such that one meridian cannot accommodate both ice and fire spiritual energies, then why not make another meridian for him so that he can separate the two spiritual energies and allow them to flow through two different meridians?

After repeatedly considering the idea, Shi Xuan finally determined that it was indeed feasible!

The Rejuvenating Pill is a seventh-grade spiritual pill. For Shi Xuan at his current level, it's a bit of a stretch, but it's not impossible for him to refine it.

The problem now is that one of the spiritual plant ingredients in the Rejuvenating Elixir is called Dragon Stone Grass, which Shi Xuan does not have.

“Dragonstone Grass…” Shi Xuan turned to look at the members of the best team and asked, “Does anyone have Dragonstone Grass?”

"Dragon Stone Grass?" The team members frowned, seemingly having never even heard of Dragon Stone Grass before.

Shi Xuan continued, "Dragonstone Grass is entirely black, with a few thin strands at the tip, resembling dragon whiskers. Think about it, do you have any of these materials?"

After thinking about it, everyone shook their heads.

This is normal, after all, even Shi Xuan couldn't collect these spiritual plants, which shows how rare they are.

“Huh,” Chen Qi suddenly spoke up, “I feel like I vaguely remember this…”

"You have it?" The team members all looked at him.

“No, not at all,” Chen Qi said, frowning. “However, I seem to have seen him before.”

As he spoke, he turned to Sun Shaoxing and said, "Do you remember, the year before last, when Senior Brother Wen returned from the outer realms, he brought back a black grass with tendrils. At the time, he deliberately took it out to scare people, and several inner disciples thought it was a centipede and were startled."

Following Chen Qi's words, Sun Shaoxing thought for a moment and then remembered it.

"He scared the new disciple to tears, that blade of grass that Elder Tian threw away?"
