In Rong Lingzong's small courtyard.
Rong Zi looked up at the protective array above his head and said awkwardly, "Doesn't this look...like a big pot lid with a small mini pot?"
Compared to the protective array that covered an area of dozens of miles, her newly built sect was so small that it was almost invisible...
"This formation is called the Qiankun Dragon Control Formation. It uses blood as a catalyst and can defend against attacks from cultivators in the Tribulation Transcending stage," Egg said calmly, perched on Rong Zi's shoulder.
Upon hearing this, Rong Zi's eyes immediately lit up like laser beams.
She clapped her hands and exclaimed, "A mini pot should be paired with a big lid! This protective formation is a perfect match for the new sect I've built! A perfect match!"
A cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage!
Once a cultivator breaks through the Tribulation Transcending stage, it won't be long before they attract heavenly lightning. Those who succeed ascend to immortality, while those who fail turn to ashes.
In this vast world of cultivation, the highest cultivation level a cultivator can achieve is the Tribulation Transcending stage.
This means that in the world of cultivation, their sect's protective formation is virtually immune to all physical attacks!
One word.
Awesome!
The commotion of activating the sect's protective formation alerted Gu Xiaochui and Yun Jing.
After rushing out in a panic, they learned that their pitifully small sect actually had a protective formation that could withstand attacks from cultivators in the Tribulation Transcending stage. The two of them were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
Even the protective formations of the five major sects aren't this powerful...
Gu Xiaochui and Yun Jing were still unable to process what had happened for quite some time, and even when they returned to their cultivation, they were still in a daze.
"Yun Jing." Rong Zi called out to Yun Jing.
Yun Jing paused, turned around and looked at her, "Master? What's wrong?"
Rong Zi took out two books and a small stack of talismans and stuffed them into his arms. "These two books are for you. With your current cultivation level, you should be able to start cultivating now."
Yun Jing looked at the book in his arms.
Under Rong Zi's tutelage, he can now recognize many characters.
"The Netherworld Yin Manual and the Limitless Remnant Sound Heart Method, are both Heaven-Rank Secret Techniques?"
Rong Zi nodded. “Yes, I have provided pinyin for some of the uncommon characters here, and I have also made detailed annotations for those obscure and profound parts. You can just follow the instructions to cultivate. However, there is one thing you must remember: when you are cultivating, you must put the talismans I gave you around you.”
After saying that, she gave Yun Jing a meaningful look.
"Who knows, these two manuals might come in handy when you spar with Gu Xiaochui~"
After returning home, Yun Jing briefly flipped through the two manuals.
He hesitated for a moment, then obediently pasted the talismans Rong Zi had given him around the perimeter.
Then, he silently took out the suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument)...
...
Both disciples are in seclusion, cultivating their skills.
Feeling bored, Rong Zi began to think about how their sect could make money in the future, since they couldn't just sit around and do nothing.
In the cultivation world, the most profitable professions are undoubtedly talisman cultivators, weapon cultivators, and alchemy cultivators.
Drawing talismans was no longer a difficult task for her.
However, each talisman can only be sold for a limited price; even a low-level talisman only costs twenty mid-grade spirit stones.
Five are needed to exchange for one high-grade spirit stone.
This method of making money is too slow.
Equipment repair is probably the most profitable business.
However, the cost of refining weapons is too high, and it also requires more time and effort.
Let's leave this kind of work to her apprentice, Gu Xiaochui, since he likes it too.
After much thought, Rong Zi decided that alchemy was the better option, as it was a quick way to make money and simpler and easier than weapon crafting.
She needed to research how to conceal Yun Jing's strength from outsiders, and after consulting many books, she felt that the Concealment Pill was the most suitable.
Let's do it!
Rong Zi took out her clay pot and officially began refining pills.
This time, instead of having Cai Niu breathe fire as usual, she took out a Heaven-rank technique called "Azure Flame Divine Fire Technique".
As a chaotic spiritual root, cultivation must be balanced.
Besides the Reincarnation Technique, Rong Zi had already found a corresponding Heaven-Rank Secret Technique for each of his spiritual roots to cultivate.
This book, "Azure Flame Divine Fire Technique," corresponds to her fire-attribute spiritual root.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to refine pills, she could also practice this technique at the same time, further honing her skills in how to precisely control the temperature and size of the flames.
One hour later.
Rong Zi started cooking... no... started cooking.
The moment the pot lid was lifted, a thick plume of black smoke billowed out, turning Rong Zi's little face into the likeness of Zhang Fei.
Cai Niu climbed onto the edge of the pot. "Master, the pills seem to have stuck to the pot again. The bottom is all burnt."
Rong Zi took out the small lump of pills from the bottom of the pot and sighed softly.
"Sigh, I really miss the non-stick pan from home..."
The problem of food sticking to the pan needs to be solved.
Otherwise, after refining the pill, you would have to peel it again, which would be too troublesome.
How about we try a different cast iron pot?
Or perhaps you could pour some cooking oil into the pot to lubricate it?
Rong Zi pondered for a while and decided to turn the heat down a bit to see how it went.
Another hour later...
Xiuer stirred the contents of the pot with the whip's tail and exclaimed, "Master, this time the pills have been boiled into a paste!"
Rong Zi: "...Don't panic, let it burn a little longer."
Ten minutes later.
Xiuer: "Now it looks like... it's dried into crispy rice..."
Rong Zi: "..."
For the next month or so, Rong Zi didn't go anywhere and kept his head down, working on alchemy.
