Then he stuffed two spirit stones into each of them. The two fishermen's eyes lit up and they looked at the spirit stones in their hands greedily. These two spirit stones were equivalent to their harvest from ten days of fishing at sea.
Fish were hard to sell, especially since there were many immortal cultivators here, most of whom used fasting pills and even fewer ate mortal food. For mortals like them, survival was even more difficult.
Seeing the greed in the eyes of the two fishermen, Chen Si sneered with disdain: "This is just an appetizer. There will be more after the matter is done."
The two fishermen didn't care about the mockery on his face. When they heard there was more reward, their eyes lit up and they rubbed their hands with a flattering look and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will complete the task and lead that woman over."
With these rewards, they didn't have to go fishing for a month. Not to mention that there had been frequent sea monster sightings recently.
It's just a pity for that pretty girl. I heard that the second son of the Chen family likes beauties. Although he married the island owner's beloved daughter on the surface, in fact, everyone on the island knows that although the second son of the Chen family looks like a decent person, he secretly keeps many concubines who are both beautiful and well-educated.
To put it nicely, she was a concubine. To put it bluntly, everyone knew what she was. In the world of cultivation, the practice of replenishing one's yin with yang was not uncommon, so everyone turned a blind eye. However, Madam Chen Er was not someone to be trifled with. She was always arrogant and domineering, and countless concubines had died at her hands. If she discovered that girl, her fate would surely be extremely tragic.
Leng Qingning, who was hiding in the dark, heard all the conversations of these people. Fortunately, she just became alert and hid and disguised herself in time.
It now seems that the Chen family's spies are everywhere on this island, and her every move is being watched by people with ulterior motives. Until her cultivation level recovers to full strength, she cannot act rashly.
But she had to get more healing pills as soon as possible, and then find out about the situation on the island. It would never hurt her to know more.
After this inquiry, she realized that the Chen family was equivalent to the local emperor of this island, and even the island owner had to give them some face.
More importantly, the second wife of the Chen family is actually the youngest daughter of the island owner. The island owner has three sons and one daughter, and he loves this only daughter the most.
The second son of the Chen family, Chen Shaoqian, married Han Xuexin, which made the Chen family's status flourish. Over the years, the Chen family has continued to expand its influence and acted domineeringly on the island. Its status is even about to surpass that of the island owner.
From this we can see that the Chen family is extremely ambitious. Although they seem to be very respectful to the island owner now, who can know that they have no intention of rebelling in private?
Leng Qingning walked for a long time before finally covering a quarter of the island.
The area of the island is equivalent to the size of a city in the world of cultivation. There is only one mountain range on the island, which covers a vast area.
However, the trees on this mountain range grew very well, and occasionally some low-level spiritual beasts would appear, seemingly not afraid of people. The ground was littered with some common spiritual herbs, and even many rare ones. What surprised Leng Qingning the most was that she even stepped on two purple-glowing grasses.
Purple Glow Grass is the main material for refining Recovery Pills, which are a more advanced healing medicine than Rejuvenation Pills. A low-grade Recovery Pill is as effective as a medium-grade Rejuvenation Pill. Her storage bag contains a basic alchemy book, so she can take this opportunity to practice the art of alchemy with peace of mind.
She subconsciously touched the sleeping little black snake coiled around her neck, but she didn't know whether the recovery pill would be useful to the demon race.
The monks on this island seemed to dislike going up the mountain. She didn't see anyone going up the mountain the whole day. Instead, there were people going back and forth to the beach, even at the risk of sea monsters.
Leng Qingning searched for nearly half an hour before she finally found a relatively hidden cave. In order to prevent any spiritual beasts from entering the cave, she set up a few formation plates at the entrance of the cave.
Last time in the secret realm, she had wasted too many formation plates, and now she only had five left. If she used one more, there would be four left.
For safety reasons, she buried two explosive spirit beads wrapped in spiritual power on the ground at the entrance of the cave. If someone accidentally stepped on them, the spiritual energy on them would disappear and the explosive spirit beads would explode instantly.
This makes it more convenient for her to concentrate on practicing alchemy here.
Leng Qingning took out "The Art of Hundred Alchemy" and read it carefully. Since she had no basic knowledge of alchemy, she decided to start with the most basic fasting pill.
The Qigong pill pharmacy is simple, the needed spiritual medicines can be found everywhere, and the success rate of making pills is extremely high. As for the alchemy furnace, when she was in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, she looted a lot in the cave of the Ghost Face Hand and got a low-grade alchemy furnace, which is more than enough to refine these pills.
She followed what was written in the book, used fire spiritual power to light the furnace, and placed the seven spiritual herbs needed to refine the fasting pill into the furnace and covered it.
Half a minute later, the fragrance of the elixir wafted from the furnace. A quarter of an hour later, she followed the instructions in the book and used her spiritual sense to look through the furnace to see what was inside. She saw that the elixir had turned into a emerald green liquid.
Don’t underestimate this small ball of liquid, it is full of essence. Now she only needs the last crucial step - to condense the pill.
Leng Qingning sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, using his spiritual sense to control his spiritual power. Through the furnace, he condensed the pool of liquid into the outline of the elixir bit by bit.
Unfortunately, it was her first time practicing, and she wasn't proficient enough. Although she succeeded in refining it, the surface was bumpy and looked a bit ugly, and there were still some medicinal residues inside.
Pills like this with a lot of residual medicinal residue cannot be eaten because they contain residual poison, which will cause harm to the body if taken. Leng Qingning made a mistake the first time, but she was already proficient in refining the pills the second time. She quickly refined a bottle of high-quality fasting pills. She counted them and found that there were seven pills in total.
To be able to achieve such results after the second time of refining the elixir was already a great progress. She took a fasting pill and felt a sense of fullness in her stomach.
With these fasting pills, she can stay here and make pills in the days to come.
Leng Qingning glanced at the recipe for the Recovery Pill. Compared to the Fasting Pill, it required twice as many medicinal ingredients, a total of fourteen kinds of spiritual medicines.
Leng Qingning frowned. She didn't recognize half of these 14 spiritual medicines. She majored in magic, so she didn't know much about spiritual medicines.
After going up the mountain, we can only search one by one according to the pictures in the books.
For example, the most basic spiritual medicines such as silver grass, green sunflower, and vine fruit are easy to pick, but there are three kinds of spiritual medicines that are relatively rare: blood spiritual grass, cold tobacco, and nine-bend spiritual ginseng. They are the most critical medicinal ingredients for refining recovery pills. If you want to pick them, you can only go deep into the mountains and forests.
