"Ouch, don't break it so hard!"
The spirit medicine begged for mercy repeatedly, writhing inside the elixir.
"I believe that even if you don't say anything, after eating you, I believe that with the vitality in your body, you can sustain yourself for a period of time."
Seeing that Yao Ling was stalling for time, Ning Qi raised his arm.
I was about to swallow it.
"I said, don't be in such a hurry. He just woke up. He needs time to calm down."
Yao Ling quickly explained, pleading repeatedly, "Big brother, please have mercy!"
"Then tell me!"
Ning Qi stopped and threatened, "If you dare to dawdle with me again, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Open the furnace beneath you!"
"There is a red lotus that lasts for thousands of years inside. Eating it can not only neutralize this poison."
"From now on, any poison that could threaten the power of an immortal will be ineffective against you."
The spirit of medicine pointed to the alchemy furnace in front of Ning Qi with its little finger and said something.
"Okay, let me see what's going on!"
Ning Qi controlled the medicinal spirit and then went to the alchemy furnace.
He took out the Chaos Sword and thrust it at the bottom.
"when!"
After a dull metallic clang, the bottom of the alchemy furnace shook as Ning Qi poked it.
Immediately following, a restriction began to swirl around the bottom.
Ning Qi glanced at it and then casually broke the restriction.
In his eyes, this was nothing to mention.
After breaking the seal, Ning Qi opened the bottom.
"Whoosh!"
At that moment, a blinding red light flashed out.
He grabbed it.
I saw the red lotus in my hand, which was still warm to the touch, but the powerful flame aura on it was very strong.
If it weren't for his strong physique, he would have been devoured by the backlash.
He held the red lotus in his hand and examined it carefully.
This crimson lotus is entirely red, and even after countless years, it still exudes a powerful life force.
Its body was still flashing with red light, and the core area of the flower was still throbbing.
With each pulsation, a burst of flames erupts.
"It really is good stuff."
Ning Qi looked at the red lotus in his hand and became very energetic. He turned to look at the medicinal spirit he had bound and said, "Tell me, how do I refine this thing?"
Now, what he needs is a way to refine the Crimson Lotus.
This thing is an ancient red lotus that has been hidden here for so long, yet it still possesses such a powerful burning ability.
It also possesses immense vitality, so refining it is definitely not that simple.
Therefore, asking for clarification is the best course of action.
"Just refine it normally using the cultivation method!"
"There's nothing special about it, just don't rush, lest you go astray in your cultivation."
Yao Ling responded quickly after hearing Ning Qi's question.
They were afraid that if they were a step too slow, Ning Qi would deal with them again.
Although he said that, Ning Qi didn't believe him.
A pair of eyes scrutinized Yao Ling, beginning to consider whether his words were true or false.
The medicinal spirit, the alchemy furnace, and the red lotus were all placed together.
Previously, in order to confuse the situation, the owner of this alchemy furnace had specially sealed the medicinal spirits inside.
In other words, this alchemy furnace was separated into at least three layers, inside and out.
There were even a few discarded pills placed on it to deceive people.
All of this points to one issue.
This medicinal spirit is just as important as the red lotus; no one can replace their position.
That's why the owner of the alchemy furnace went to great lengths to hide them all.
Even this alchemy furnace looks so unremarkable.
Furthermore, Ning Qi suddenly thought of a question: when he broke the seal on that day...
The entire alchemy palace was shrouded in auspicious clouds, and golden lotuses sprang from the ground.
These extraordinary celestial phenomena were meant to indicate the emergence of supreme treasures, but after searching thoroughly, they found nothing.
In the end, they didn't find anything.
Ning Qi looked at the medicinal spirit in front of him and vaguely realized something.
That strange phenomenon in the heavens and earth might just be the spirit of the medicine, or more precisely, something inside the alchemy furnace.
The Crimson Lotus, the Spirit of Medicine, and the Immortal Pill that nurtured the Spirit of Medicine.
They are indispensable; only when they combine can they cause a disturbance in the heavens and earth.
As Ning Qi thought to himself, his eyes gradually brightened.
Seeing this, Yao Ling began to feel a chill run down her spine and quickly said, "I really didn't lie to you, I swear to God."
"Little guy, if you lied like this to other people, I wouldn't bother with you."
"But do you know how many lifetimes I've lived?"
"Ten times? Fifty times? One hundred times? I can't even remember!"
Ning Qi looked coldly at Yao Ling and said with a smile, "You think you can outmaneuver me?"
"Brother, I really didn't mean to lie to you, everything I said is true!"
Yao Ling panicked and quickly explained, "You can try it if you don't believe me!"
"Also, I'll tell you something else: I can also refine pills!"
Ning Qi smiled, opened his storage bag, and took out spirit stones and spirit wood: "I will refine you and the Crimson Lotus now."
"I'd like to see what the effect will be after you merge with the Crimson Lotus!"
"Big brother, no! If you do that, I'll cease to exist!"
When Yao Ling heard Ning Qi say this, she panicked.
He immediately began to beg for mercy.
"Even after all this, you still won't tell me the truth. Then prepare to be refined by me!"
Ning Qi ignored him and threw the Crimson Lotus and the medicinal spirit directly into the alchemy furnace.
"Brother, I'm telling you, can you spare my life?!"
Seeing that Yao Ling was about to be thrown in, she quickly told the truth.
They were terrified that if they were even a step too slow, Ning Qi would refine them directly.
"Then tell me."
As Ning Qi spoke, he began to activate the power of immortals and demons, igniting the spirit wood.
The temperature of the alchemy furnace immediately began to rise.
"The Crimson Lotus needs the assistance of the elixir I am in order to be refined."
"But then I would cease to exist."
"If you can help me find a spiritual pill to possess, so that I have a place to reside, then I will cooperate with you in refining it."
"Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to die with you."
Yao Ling told Ning Qi the whole story in one breath.
After hearing his words, Ning Qi finally understood why he had lied to him.
It turns out that he needed the elixir he possessed to assist him.
"However, now that you're out, will the spiritual energy and life force within this elixir still exist?"
This is what Ning Qi is concerned about: what if he is released?
So, does this elixir still have any effect?
Obviously not.
"I don't care about your direction, I'll give it all to you, just spare my life."
"With the right elixirs and medicines in the future, I can recover!"
In order to survive, Yao Ling dared not ask for anything more.
He understood the principle that as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
"Oh? In that case, I do have an elixir for you to parasitize."
Ning Qi also possessed some elixirs, which he obtained when he first entered the Alchemy Palace.
As he spoke, he opened his storage bag and took out a magic pill.
Although the quality is much worse than that of the source of the medicine spirit, it is enough for the medicine spirit.
"Great! That's wonderful!"
Yao Ling looked at the elixir in Ning Qi's hand and immediately showed a happy expression.
He could clearly see that although the elixir was of poor quality, it still contained a considerable amount of spiritual energy and vitality.
After he went inside, although he wasn't as good as he was inside this elixir, the difference was still minimal.
"Then get out!"
Seeing his happy expression, Ning Qi smiled and said, "I'm going to start refining now."
"Okay!"
After Yao Ling readily agreed, her chubby body wiggled and twisted.
It quickly emerged from the elixir, and then, in a flash, disappeared directly into Ning Qi's elixir.
"call!"
After a medicinal spirit entered the elixir, its dull appearance immediately changed.
It became incredibly lustrous, and the medicinal power within began to take effect, with a surge of powerful life force emanating from it.
It's clear that the medicinal spirit played a role in it.
The elixir he had just been in was much weaker than the one he had been in.
However, Ning Qi could clearly sense that the vitality and medicinal power inside had not diminished much.
That is, the medicine spirit did not lie to him.
"Okay! What's the next step?"
Ning Qi sat cross-legged, gathering the Crimson Lotus and the Immortal Pill in front of him, and then asked the Medicine Spirit for the next move.
"Crimson Fire Immortal Technique!"
"This requires the Crimson Fire Immortal Technique to refine!"
Yao Ling glanced at Ning Qi and grinned.
"You brat, you deserve to die!"
"How dare you play me!"
Ning Qi was furious upon hearing his words.
Grab this elixir and crush it.
"Hey, big brother, look!"
"The secret formula is right there in the alchemy furnace, I'm not lying to you!"
Yao Ling, sweating profusely from being caught, quickly pointed her little hand at the alchemy furnace and said, "It's all written here, take a good look!"
"If I could understand it, would you be the one to tell me?"
Ning Qi glared at Yao Ling and then said, "Tell me, how do you decipher the inscriptions on this Crimson Fire Immortal Technique!"
This is what he needs to understand; otherwise, what use is having immortal techniques?
"Big brother, it's very simple, I'll teach you!"
Yao Ling then realized that Ning Qi didn't recognize the inscriptions, and immediately felt relieved.
I initially thought Ning Qi was deliberately trying to betray me and refine me.
"Alright! Let's begin!"
Ning Qi sat up straight again, then said to Yao Ling, "Read it to me, one sentence at a time!"
"Okay!"
After Yao Ling agreed, she went straight to the alchemy furnace and began to silently recite the inscriptions on it to Ning Qi.
"call!"
Ning Qi took a deep breath, preparing himself to cultivate the mental technique.
"Guide Qi into the body!"
"Brother, be careful, this is drawing upon the energy of the Crimson Lotus!"
As Yao Ling explained, she also reminded Ning Qi.
"good!"
Ning Qi nodded, then formed hand seals and began circulating his immortal and demonic power, opening up the burning sensation within the crimson lotus.
It was received into his palm and then began to flow into him.
"Gather your energy in your dantian, visualize..."
Then Yao Ling began to teach Ning Qi the cultivation method step by step.
Meanwhile, Ning Qi also began to cultivate seriously.
At first, the burning sensation of the red lotus was a bit too much for him to bear.
The seemingly gentle heat wave began to wreak havoc once it entered his body.
Especially when it reached his dantian, it was like a flood bursting its banks.
They began to relentlessly attack his body, churning, destroying, and healing.
In this way, the deadly poison in his body also began to be drawn in.
Together they ravaged his body.
This caused large areas of his flesh to burn, ulcerate, and fall off.
Some were burned by the deadly poison, while others were burned by the blazing flames of the red lotus.
This pain has been ongoing, and it is a hundred times more painful than when I was cultivating and comprehending the Three Thousand Principles of Ruoshui.
Ruoshui Sanqian only relentlessly ravaged his body and soul.
But this was still burning his body, and after the poison took effect, it made him feel as if he were being bitten by thousands of insects.
Inch by inch, strand by strand.
As if he wouldn't stop until he was completely devoured, Ning Qi felt as if his body no longer belonged to him.
The excruciating pain made his whole body tremble, and his bones felt eroded and crumbled.
However, he did not give up and continued to persevere.
Continue breathing exercises and practice the Crimson Fire Immortal Technique.
"The second stage is the spread of war across the plains."
"The third level, blazing flames that burn the heavens."
"..."
Yao Ling continued to silently recite the immortal incantation to Ning Qi.
He also started to take things seriously.
At this moment, he saw all of Ning Qi's changes.
Ning Qi's perseverance still led to this painting.
Time thus began to pass slowly.
Ning Qi persisted.
They also have no understanding of the situation outside.
The meteorite area is located at the junction of the Blackwater and Gray Fog regions, about 100 miles away from his location.
Several airships were docked here; they were the very group that had been chasing him.
At this moment, Dao Bujin still arrived.
After dispelling Ning Qi's boundless evil energy, he rushed over without stopping.
I've also heard that Ning Qi is trapped in the Blackwater area.
"Palace Master, should we... go in and check the situation?"
One of the guards looked at the area ahead and couldn't help but ask.
Dao Bujin did not respond to his question, but instead frowned and stared intently at the black water area ahead.
"It's been three days. If he doesn't come out, he should have been killed by the twisted monster by now, right?"
One of them looked ahead and spoke without further ado.
"Not necessarily. This guy is cunning; he might be hiding inside!"
The other person shook his head, not believing that Ning Qi had met with misfortune.
"Palace Master..."
The man looked at Ning Qi, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.
Because he had already seen the endless path take a step forward.
He stood firmly on the deck, gazing at the blackwater area ahead.
"I have a feeling this guy will be alright."
"Given his character, if something were really wrong, he would have already made a scene!"
After a long pause, he continued, "How are the men sent out to patrol both sides doing? Ask them if they've found anything."
"yes!"
"..."
The group agreed and then hurriedly left.
For a moment, there was nothing left to say about this place.
He continued to gaze at the blackwater area ahead, muttering to himself, "I hope you're alright. Our battle isn't over yet."
"However, having been poisoned by my divine poison, you won't live much longer either."
"In your next life, don't be so arrogant, or you'll waste all your cultivation." (End of Chapter)
