Chapter 357 Lingxiang Finds the Dust-Seeing Mirror
Lingxiang hadn't seen Huiwu since her last chat. Although she wasn't particularly concerned, she still had to be wary.
Who knows what he's going to do next? If it's nothing bad, it's fine, but as a lesson from the past, Lingxiang must be on guard.
Fortunately, many things went as Lingxiang expected.
The phoenix's tail feathers are gradually emerging. I think after a few more rebirths, it will grow up.
But Lingxiang still felt a little reluctant.
Don't look at the Phoenix's current closeness to Lingxiang, but the book says that once the Phoenix grows up, the sense of belonging in its bloodline will prompt it to fly to Penglai. If that happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it again in this lifetime.
Although Lingxiang knew it a long time ago, she couldn't help feeling disappointed as the day was approaching.
A furnace of Huimeng Pills was also refined, but now it was in the underworld and the spiritual energy was very weak, so only two pills were made, and the quality was only medium.
A mid-grade Dream-Returning Pill wasn't as effective as a top-grade one, and its potency wouldn't necessarily allow the Spirit Fragrance to penetrate the depths of Maidong's sea of consciousness. Still, it was better than nothing, and certainly better than having no solution at all.
But if you want to dream about Ophiopogon japonicus, it’s not the right time yet.
Lingxiang's cultivation is not enough and she doesn't have a soul yet, so she can only enter a dream by using the Huimeng Pill to connect her sea of consciousness with Maidong.
This method is similar to the soul leaving the body, but the demon world is not a safe place, and Yinhuan is always watching closely. If there is no trustworthy person to protect her, she would never dare to take such a risky move.
In the demon world, the only people Lingxiang can trust are Adao and Zhanli, so the matter of entering the dream can only be put aside for the time being.
The Demon Lord had recently increased the pressure on Lingxiang to refine her elixir, and from time to time he would send people to inquire about the progress of the Huitian Pill. Lingxiang would only say things like "I haven't grasped the secret yet" or "My alchemy skills are not as good as my mother's," repeatedly making excuses.
These reasons are actually a mixture of truth and falsehood.
It was true. Judging from Lingxiang's current alchemy skills, she was indeed not even half as good as Fairy Tumi, given her level of cultivation. However, when it came to the secret of Huitian Pill, Lingxiang had figured it out as early as when she was in Yunmeng.
However, if Lingxiang were asked to refine it now, she would definitely not be able to do it.
First, it was a land of the underworld, plagued by ghostly spirits and thin in spiritual energy. Alchemy, on the other hand, involved gathering vast amounts of spiritual energy from the furnace into the elixir. Therefore, in the demonic realm, even a elixir like the Huimeng Pill, a specialty of Lingxiang, could only produce two mid-grade pills.
The second thing is the medicinal materials. Although one of the purposes of Lingxiang's trip to Yunmeng was to find the materials for the Huitian Pill, in fact, in addition to Xiangliu's poisonous teeth, there is another thing that is indispensable, and that is the other side of the Wangchuan River.
In fact, the red spider lily is Lycoris radiata, and there are many of them in the human world. However, the Lycoris radiata in Wangchuan has absorbed the breath of the underworld and is nourished by ghost energy. It has sufficient yin energy and its effectiveness is far beyond that of the Lycoris radiata in the human world.
The waters of the Forgotten River, a melting pot of human blood and tears, are home to countless wandering spirits, making it a place of extreme yin within the Three Realms. The red spider lilies that bloom along its banks, constantly nourished by the waters, have instilled a profound yin energy within them.
There are also rumors that the other side of the Wangchuan River can summon souls and bring lives.
Summoning souls and guiding lives is in line with the efficacy of the Huitian Pill.
However, Wangchuan is located in the north of Fengdu, connected to the afterlife by a bridge. On the bridge lives the underworld goddess Mengpo, so it is not so easy to get there.
Only the dead can go there.
Even if Lingxiang had the Beyond the Forgotten River in her hands, she would not refine the Heaven-Returning Pill for the Demon Lord. The Heaven-Returning Pill was not suitable for the Demon Lord, and even if it was, Lingxiang would not be able to refine it. Even if she could, she would not use it on the Demon Lord Boyan.
When Lingxiang has nothing to do, she likes to tinker with some medicinal ingredients from the underworld.
Although the herbs from the underworld are filled with ghostly energy, they can calm the soul and soothe the mind. The reason Maidong has been so peaceful lately is because of Lingxiang's newly refined powder. Now, she looks more like a child, understanding what people say but never speaking.
Today is supposed to be the day to deliver elixirs to the Demon Lord, but the Demon Lord has not sent anyone to summon him yet, so Lingxiang is happy and free.
She was exploited all day long. Fortunately, she knew how to pass off inferior products as good ones. Otherwise, how could she have so much spiritual energy to refine medicine? It was so difficult to recover spiritual energy in the demon world.
Fortunately, Lingxiang had said it in advance, so even if the Demon Lord found out, she would have a reason to make excuses.
However, things did not go as planned. Lingxiang was just thinking about relaxing when she saw Yinghuan leading people to the hall.
The person who came was the Demon Lord's follower Duxi. Lately, he had been the one getting medicine for the Demon Lord, but today's scene looked different from usual.
"Your Highness, the Demon Lord has summoned you." Just a brief sentence, no more words.
This person never talks much and is always clear about what he means. Lingxiang has long been accustomed to it.
The Demon Lord's Palace was as dark as usual, with only a few candles flickering half-deadly.
After Duxi brought Lingxiang back, he and the others withdrew. Although he was the Demon Lord's follower, the Demon Lord never liked others to approach him, so they usually stayed outside the temple.
Lingxiang's eyes were still bright in the dark hall. She held the pill box in her hand and looked around like a thief.
To be honest, Lingxiang was indeed a little afraid of the Demon Lord. This man was moody and he might want to kill her one day if he disliked her. But she still had a lot of things to do!
But Lingxiang was not afraid at all - she didn't even have time to hate, let alone be afraid.
Besides, fear and dread are two different things and do not conflict with each other.
After looking for a long time, she still couldn't see the Demon Lord. Lingxiang couldn't help but murmur, "He's the Supreme Lord of a realm after all, but he made himself look like a ghost. How shameful is that..."
Forget it, who cares!
Lingxiang curled her lips, touched her neck, and decided to stand quietly in the hall to avoid being caught by the Demon Lord like last time - she still felt some discomfort in her neck!
But Lingxiang overestimated herself. She was not a person who would settle for less at all!
A faint light flashed by, Lingxiang's eyes lit up, and she immediately straightened her back, but when Lingxiang looked around, she saw nothing.
How strange! How strange!
Although Lingxiang's cultivation level is not high, she is at the Foundation Establishment stage after all, so what she saw just now was definitely not an illusion.
Can……
Should I find it or not?
Lingxiang hesitated for a long time, but finally made up her mind - just take a look, the Demon Lord would not be so stingy!
After making up her mind, Lingxiang searched everywhere and finally found an object that she was very familiar with in a corner. It turned out to be...
"Dust-peek mirror!"
The Dust-Seeing Mirror had actually been in the Demon Lord's Palace the entire time, but Lingxiang had never noticed it!
Surprised, Lingxiang sneered and thought to herself, "It's so dark all day long, it's strange that it can be seen."
Just as Lingxiang was thinking of moving closer, a voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"You're here."
hiss!
Lingxiang's hair stood on end, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to move an inch, and she felt extremely regretful: I told you not to run around, but you really think you are wasting your life!
It’s the Demon Lord!
