Threads of fire clung to Jiang Chenying's body, leaving behind streaks of icy blue scars. Unlike ordinary yang fire, the Netherworld Ghost Fire could not only cause physical damage to cultivators, but also burn their souls through their bodies.
What a powerful killing move! Zhu Yi simply stood next to Jiang Lin, carefully listening to his softly chanted incantation and imitating his hand gestures.
Before Zhu Yi could even learn it, Jiang Lin vanished in a flash, leaving Jiang Chenying alone on the ground, struggling desperately and shouting that she would tear Jiang Lin to pieces and take revenge on little Zhu Yi!
"Heh, what do you have to brag about? Although I don't know how you schemed against Jiang Lin, it's not hard to see from your words just now that you went to great lengths to marry him, but he doesn't even acknowledge you." Before Zhu Yi could finish her "you deserve it" remark, a ringing sound came from her ear; her old-fashioned alarm clock had gone off.
Suddenly, Zhu Yi's mind shifted, and when she opened her eyes again, the surroundings were still gray and desolate, as if she were in an old-fashioned black and white movie.
Zhu Yi's thoughts were once again pulled back from the dream. She focused her breath, formed hand seals, and collected her elixir.
The lid of the plain white porcelain alchemy furnace shook a few times, and nine fiery red Yin-Melting Pills flew out, their fragrant aroma attracting many little spirits and monsters who were watching the spectacle.
Hidden deep in the forest, pairs of eerie green beasts had been drooling for a long time. Some mischievous little monsters even wiped their drool and made some noises, only to be glared at fiercely by the leopard, which warned them to be quiet and not disturb the three cultivators!
Xue Shan stared incredulously at Zhu Yi as she opened the furnace to retrieve the pills: "Junior Sister, your aura while refining pills has completely changed!"
"Really?" Zhu Yi was delighted. Indeed, she was about to break through to become a high-level alchemist.
His cultivation at the Tianlan Sect recently progressed rapidly, far surpassing his progress at the Hehuan Sect.
Zhu Yi didn't mention that she was going to break through to the advanced level of alchemy; even close sisters shouldn't be too far apart.
Ideally, everyone should remain oblivious and not draw too much attention, so that when needed in the future, she can refine high-level pills and use them.
Nine pills lay spread out in her palm, their red color breathtaking and swaying gracefully. "Sister Shanshan, have one! This one's guaranteed to be more effective than the previous ones!"
"As expected, two negatives make a positive. The universal mathematical formula really doesn't lie to me. When something is extremely yin, it transforms into its opposite when it reaches its limit. Look, this antidote made from a bunch of cold and yin herbs is hot to the touch and really dispels cold and toxins!" Zhu Yi was quite proud, her willow-leaf eyebrows twitching like a mischievous little fox.
Xue Shan obediently ate it, and a hot and pure spiritual energy flowed through her limbs and bones, constantly repairing the stiff muscles in her body.
As her throbbing, warm blood flowed back through every inch of her body, Xue Shan began meditating to digest the elixir, following Zhu Yi's instructions.
"Junior Sister, what is... a mathematical formula?" Xue Shan sat upright on the futon, asking Zhu Yi this strange question before entering meditation.
"It's a kind of truth that has been summarized, which summarizes some abstract things very well." Zhu Yi explained in words that Xue Shan could understand, "It's like the spells we use when we practice magic, and we also have corresponding spells to use when we do arithmetic."
"Junior Sister knows so much! Could you teach me when we return to the sect?" Xue Shan asked a little shyly. "I can pay some tuition fees. I feel that Junior Sister has learned a lot of useful things from Master Yu Jing!"
Master Yujing really didn't teach me much. What I'm talking about are all the essential lessons from nine years of compulsory education. These don't exist in the cultivation world... Zhu Yi didn't intend to correct Xue Shan's misunderstanding for the time being. It was good that she misunderstood, otherwise she would have to think of other excuses to cover up where she learned these skills from.
Xue Shan sighed sincerely, feeling a little uneasy. It was common for fellow students to exchange skills and techniques, but she didn't know if they would mind teaching her a little something...
"No need for tuition. If Sister Shanshan is willing to learn, I'll compile some commonly used mathematical formulas and teach them to you and Weiwei! It's just that I might need Sister Shanshan to come and help me with some chores." Zhu Yi's mind started racing with calculations. Besides cultivation, she also wanted to start a small business, so she needed someone to help her with chores.
Zhu Yi didn't actually have many spirit stones. She had been relying on the spirit stones that her master, Yu Jing, had given her to survive during her cultivation period. After returning to the sect, she would have to put starting a business on the agenda. It's better to have your own than to have your parents' money. She didn't want to live a life of hardship anymore!
Moreover, the Zhu family has given all their resources to Zhu Qianying, so she has to earn spirit stones herself.
Zhu Yi wrote this down in her notebook, then began to recall the incantation and hand seals Jiang Lin used to create the Netherworld Fire in her dream, repeatedly condensing the spell to release blue fire snakes.
At first, Zhu Yi could only release a few thin, long blue fire threads. Later, the small fire threads turned into small fire snakes of varying sizes. By the time Zhu Yi successfully released the first small blue flame snake from the Netherworld Ghost Fire, a long time had passed.
Xue Shan has already refined the new Yin-Melting Pill and is fully recovered. Wei Wei is currently checking the newly fired porcelain.
Wei Weiwei fired the clay kiln twice, and only half of the pieces turned out well, while the other half turned out badly. The little girl was a bit frustrated, feeling that she had wasted a lot of clay.
“Weiwei, your porcelain is also very good! Look, you’ve even carved many beautiful patterns,” Xue Shan comforted her.
"My junior sister fires a kiln once, and 80% of the porcelain is good, but I can only produce 50%..."
Xue Shan sighed: "Let's not always feel that we're not doing well enough. Everyone's talent is different. Our junior sister might just be a bit more capable than us."
Vivi felt even more heartbroken, and her expression turned somewhat strange.
I didn't know how to respond to Xue Shan. I just felt that it would have been better if Sister Shan hadn't said anything at all; she might have felt better if she hadn't...
She didn't necessarily want to compete with Zhu Yi, but she felt that her strength was somewhat weaker compared to her companions, so it was hard not to overthink it.
"Look, how beautiful your carved mandarin ducks are!" Xue Shan pointed to the two small ones on the plain white tea tray for Wei Weiwei to see. Seemingly touched by her appreciative gaze, Wei Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief. That's right, why compare yourself to others in everything? If you work harder, you'll have a skill you can be proud of.
Zhu Yi had no idea that just by firing porcelain and casually mentioning a mathematical theorem, she could spark so many different ideas from her two friends. She was quite excited.
Xue Shan and Wei Wei clearly saw the complex emotions on Zhu Yi's face, which shifted from cloudy to sunny and then back to rainy, and dared not go forward to disturb her too much.
"So this is how easy it is to control the Netherworld Flames!"
A small mermaid pearl flew out from the Brahma lamp and landed on Zhu Yi's forehead. At this moment, Zhu Yi was comprehending the incantation used by Jiang Lin in her sea of consciousness. Suddenly, a water mirror appeared in front of her, and "Zhu Yi" appeared in the mirror again. She was still calm and gentle, kind and friendly, with a smile on her face, and repeatedly performed a complete set of fire control techniques in the mirror.
The ghostly blue flames transformed into various shapes under the control of the person in the mirror. Zhu Yi seized the opportunity to follow suit. The water mirror only appeared for a short time, about 15 minutes. When the "Zhu Yi" in the mirror saw that the little girl opposite her had almost learned from her, she waved her hand and walked back into the mermaid pearl.
The pearl landed at the corner of the lamp, returning to its original small decorative state.
At this moment, Zhu Yi felt the spiritual energy surging around her, and she had a faint feeling that she was about to break through.
The spiritual energy here is thin, making it an unsuitable place for Foundation Establishment. When Zhu Yi finished her practice, she formed a hand seal to suppress her cultivation and calm the surging spiritual energy.
"Junior Sister! You!" Xue Shan opened her eyes wide again to look at Zhu Yi carefully. Why did she feel that the spiritual energy on her body had changed after Junior Sister finished her meditation?
"Don't panic, I've just unlocked a new use for Netherworld Fire!"
