Su Xing took a deep breath, and then used up the last bit of his spiritual power to perform the art of controlling objects with his spiritual power.
I saw a wisp of soul flying towards the soul-guiding grass in the little boy's hand, and a strange white light appeared on the crushed soul-guiding grass.
A faint voice also came to the little boy's ears:
"This soul-guiding grass should be taken orally and must not be applied externally..."
Su Xing's soul was originally extremely weak, and after performing this technique, his soul was on the verge of collapse. If he didn't return to his body in time, he would probably die.
"If you still don't understand this obvious hint... then there's really nothing we can do!"
Su Xing thought weakly.
At the same time, the little boy was startled when he saw the strange white light of the soul-guiding grass in his hand.
Hearing the voice in his ear again, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at his sister and asked in confusion:
"Sister, did you hear any strange noises?"
"This man seemed to tell me... this herb is called Soul-Guiding Grass and should be swallowed directly..."
After hearing what the little boy said, the girl smiled awkwardly, but at this moment she also knew the importance of the matter, so she quickly said, "Then why are you still standing there... why don't you feed it to him quickly!"
As they spoke, the two of them fed the soul-guiding grass into Su Xing's mouth.
Seeing the soul-guiding grass being swallowed into his stomach, the awakened soul breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt an inexplicable attraction coming from his own body.
The brother and sister looked nervously at Su Xing who was still sleeping.
"Sister... do you think this person is dead or not? I seemed to hear a ghost talking just now..."
As soon as the words fell, Su Xing, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and said weakly:
"If you two don't give me the herbs, I will really die..."
Su Xing said, glancing at the girl, and asked in confusion: "Who did you learn this bullshit herbal knowledge from?"
"It's fine if the medicine is not of the right nature... but how come you can't even tell the difference between external use and internal use!"
After hearing Su Xing's reprimand, the girl's face suddenly turned even redder, and she stammered, "No... no one taught me... my father ran a medicine shop when he was alive, and I only took a look occasionally. I only knew where to pick herbs, but I didn't know how to refine them..."
After hearing the girl's answer, Su Xing was speechless, but still said, "Then go get all the herbs for me to see..."
After hearing this, the girl hurriedly took out the medicine basket and the herbs in the wooden box and placed them in front of Su Xing.
Su Xing didn't even look up, but just used his nose to rub it and said:
"The first and third herbs on your left hand side are useful to me... Take them and feed them to me."
The girl did as she was told, took two herbs and carefully fed them to Su Xing.
Su Xing opened his mouth, and after his throat trembled for a moment, the two herbs quickly fell into his stomach and turned into two warm currents.
"call……"
The awakened body was frantically digesting the medicinal power of the two herbs, so much so that wisps of steam appeared on the body.
These two herbs can stabilize the body and ensure that the injuries do not continue to worsen after awakening.
Although it is just a low-level herb, it has some effect.
Given Su Xing’s current condition, it’s unknown how long it will take for him to recover.
But taking a few more herbs could at least keep Su Xing's injuries stable.
After taking the two herbs, Su Xing felt a trace of qi and blood being produced in his body. Although it was weak, it was at least a good sign.
Although his body was badly damaged, at least his foundation was still there. If he continued to take herbs over a long period of time, he would eventually recover.
Su Xing then instructed: "Bring two more bone-growing grasses and blood-activating flowers...these are the two red grasses and flowers on your right."
Su Xing gave the order, and the girl did as she was told without asking why.
After taking a few herbs, the effect on the awakened body was still minimal.
Su Xing sighed in his heart, but said to the girl:
"For the next half month, give me as many of those herbs as you have..."
"I'm a little tired now, let me take a nap first."
As he spoke, Su Xing closed his eyes and rested, and soon his breathing became even.
Although he was sleeping, Su Xing was actually recuperating his body's breath and injuries. Although the effect of the medicine was weak, Su Xing had to recover as soon as possible.
Seeing that Su Xing's breathing was even and his eyes were closed, the girl thought that Su Xing was asleep, so she took the little boy and left the room.
The little boy followed the girl out of the room, feeling a little indignant in his heart, he said, "Sister! We put so much effort into saving him...but he behaved like this as soon as he woke up. Why?"
The girl shook her head slightly after hearing this and simply said, "Brother, powerful cultivators all have strange tempers... As long as we are sincere, we will definitely be able to gain an opportunity..."
After hearing this, the little boy nodded, not quite understanding.
The two of them carried their medicine baskets and went into the mountains to collect herbs.
…
January has passed quickly...
That day, Su Xing sat on the bed, breathing in the faint spiritual energy in the air, trying to restore his magic power.
But after several attempts, it still failed.
Su Xing opened his eyes and sighed:
"I'm afraid my magic power won't be able to recover in a short period of time... But now my body has at least recovered a little, so I don't have to worry about my life at any time."
Over the past month, the brother and sister have collected a lot of herbs for Su Xing.
With the help of these herbs, Su Xing's recovery speed was much faster.
At the same time, Su Xing also taught the siblings some knowledge about distinguishing herbs and their medicinal properties.
That day, after Su Xing failed in his attempt to cultivate spiritual energy again, he stopped temporarily.
"Unfortunately, I can't recover my magic power... I can't take out the Lingtian Cave Heaven either!"
Su Xing felt helpless. After being in a coma for several years, all his storage tools were lost, and even his portable cave could not be opened for the time being.
After Su Xing has recovered some of his cultivation, he may be able to use the treasures in Lingtian Cave. At that time, Su Xing's self-protection ability will be greatly improved.
Su Xing glanced outside the house and said:
"You two, don't stay outside, come in quickly..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the brother and sister outside the window came in cautiously.
After a month of getting along, Su Xing also knew the names of these two people.
The older sister's name is Bai Xiaoxiao and the younger brother's name is Bai Yutang.
The parents of these two people were originally monks and opened a medicine shop in Baiyun City.
Their parents were originally inner disciples of the Baiyun Sect, but were murdered by the sect's elders. The brother and sister managed to escape the disaster, but lost all their family wealth and could only make a living by collecting medicinal herbs.
Bai Xiaoxiao's greatest wish is to enter the foundation-building stage, become an outer disciple of the Baiyun Sect, and then find an opportunity to avenge her parents.
This is also what the brother and sister want to ask Su Xing to do.
"Senior, these are the herbs for today..."
Bai Xiaoxiao handed over a small wooden box and placed it beside the bed. Su Xing reached out, picked out a few items, and started taking them.
After absorbing the medicinal properties, Su Xing felt much better, so he continued: "Thank you two for your hard work over the past month..."
"I ask you, are you willing to take me as your master?"
"I understand your situation... You have to avenge your parents by yourselves, but I can preach to you, so your cultivation speed will not be slow."
After hearing Su Xing's words, Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes turned red and she knelt down directly.
The two siblings have been working hard and serving for more than a month, all for this day.
So they both knelt down and said:
"Master, please accept my disciple's greetings!"
Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this.
In the past month, he was actually testing the two people's character. He didn't care about the cultivation aptitude, but the character! The sincere service of the two siblings obviously passed this test.
Although their purpose of saving Su Xing was to seek revenge, saving Su Xing was a fact after all.
In this case, it is not a problem for Su Xing to accept two disciples.
"Well, since you have accepted me as your master, then next... you must respect me as your parents."
"And I will do my best to teach you the way of cultivation..."
Over the past month, Su Xing has figured out the two people's qualifications for cultivation.
Bai Xiaoxiao has both wood and fire spiritual roots, which makes her suitable for practicing alchemy to awaken.
And his younger brother Bai Yutang is even more extraordinary, he has only one fire spirit root... He can't take elixirs to practice, there is only one reason! He was born with a blocked meridian!
So, Su Xing said, "Next, I will teach you two how to practice."
"Bai Xiaoxiao, I see that you are interested in alchemy... so I will teach you how to make alchemy."
"While you study, make some pills for me to help me recover as quickly as possible."
"As for you, Bai Yutang...I will teach you the art of weapon refining!"
After a pause, Su Xing continued, "But the most important thing for you right now is to improve your cultivation as quickly as possible!"
"Next, I will teach you a fire-based technique as your main training technique..."
As he spoke, Su Xing recited the fire-based heavenly martial arts technique that he had learned before, Wan Yan Jue!
This technique is just right for the brother and sister to practice.
It’s not that Su Xing is reluctant to give up a better technique…
It’s just that Su Xing’s cultivation is now severely damaged, so he is unable to gain any enlightenment. He can only recite the cultivation mantras, and the two siblings practice on their own.
As Su Xing recited, Bai Xiaoxiao wrote down the formula.
But Su Xing read a little too fast, and she was sweating profusely due to her anxiety, and she didn't write anything down.
On the contrary, Bai Yuting was quite talented. After listening to it two or three times, he actually remembered most of it.
Su Xing spent half a day asking the two to memorize the skills, and then said to Bai Xiaoxiao:
"I have memorized the technique. You should practice well from now on..."
"I will teach you how to make pills for two hours every morning."
Having said that, Su Xing dismissed the two and continued to recover from his injuries.
…
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
This is the fourth month of Su Xing's immersive simulation. Su Xing's physical body has recovered a lot, and he can even get out of bed and move around, but the disordered magic power in his body still makes Su Xing unable to use spiritual energy.
That day, Su Xing was in the woodshed instructing Bai Xiaoxiao on how to make pills.
After three months of study, Bai Xiaoxiao has officially become an alchemy apprentice and is able to refine first-level pills.
Now, under Su Xing's guidance, Bai Xiaoxiao began to learn a first-level elixir called "Blood Replenishing Pill".
This pill can help Su Xing recover from the injuries in his body as quickly as possible.
Bai Xiaoxiao was refining the elixir while Su Xing gave her instructions: "You need to control the fire more steadily... You are using ordinary fire now, so you need to be more cautious when refining the elixir."
"Also, you need to make the pill as slowly as possible, otherwise all your efforts will fail."
Su Xing gave instructions while taking two pills.
These pills were all made by Bai Xiaoxiao.
Naturally, the speed at which elixirs can heal physical injuries is much faster than herbs.
Although Su Xing is currently unable to use spiritual energy to make pills himself, his vision and experience are still there, and he is undoubtedly a top-notch master in teaching others how to make pills.
Time passed minute by minute, and this batch of pills reached the most critical stage of pill formation.
Bai Xiaoxiao urged her weak spiritual energy and stared at the alchemy furnace intently, with a few drops of sweat on her forehead, as she tried hard to maintain the flame under the alchemy furnace.
Finally, a furnace of red pills were successfully refined.
Seven of them were successful, and three were useless...
Su Xing nodded upon seeing this and said with satisfaction:
"Not bad, it finally looks like something!"
"If you can refine this blood-replenishing pill, you can refine ordinary first-level pills... In the future, even if you work as an alchemy apprentice in some pharmacy, you won't starve to death."
Su Xing took the seven blood-replenishing pills, looked at them for a moment, and then praised them.
Bai Xiaoxiao jumped up excitedly and rushed over to give Su Xing a hug.
"Master, I succeeded! I finally succeeded!"
Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes were red with excitement. Su Xing had seen her efforts and progress over the past few months.
Strictly speaking, Bai Xiaoxiao's talent in alchemy was not bad, but it was not top-notch either. It was only because of Su Xing's guidance that she made such progress.
After successfully refining the blood-replenishing pill, Bai Xiaoxiao can start trying to refine the second-level pill.
Su Xing's goal is to let Bai Xiaoxiao refine a third-level Qi-replenishing pill.
This pill can draw on spiritual energy, and maybe it can help Su Xing recover some of his magic power.
Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao's excited look, Su Xing poured a basin of cold water on her.
"I have only refined the lowest level of blood-replenishing pills. You are still far from it!"
"You can't fall behind in improving your cultivation... Your brother has already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, but you are still hanging around at the eighth level of Qi Refining. How can this be possible?"
After being scolded by Su Xing, Bai Xiaoxiao's face fell and she looked at Su Xing pitifully.
But Su Xing knew that a strict teacher produces a good student, so he said: "If you don't reach the ninth level of Qi Refining within a month, don't learn the second-level elixir!"
After hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao nodded quickly and said that she would definitely work hard.
…
In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.
That day, in the dilapidated house, Su Xing looked at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking, and muttered: "Unconsciously, the immersive simulation has been going on for a year and a half!"
"This immersive experience is really different from the previous ones..."
Su Xing smacked his lips. In the past, he had only used immersive simulations for the purpose of practicing.
But this was his first time to accept a disciple in a simulation. Although Su Xing knew that all this was an illusion, the immersive feeling made Su Xing believe it was fake.
After a year and a half of hard work, Su Xing's physical condition has recovered a lot and he can move like a normal person.
Because of his powerful physical strength, even cultivators below the immortal realm could not stop him from waking up.
However, the magic power in Su Xing's body is still disordered.
After a year and a half of counseling, although the situation is much better than before, it is still impossible to mobilize the immortal power.
Su Xing looked back and his face suddenly turned dark. He was just stunned for a moment when Bai Xiaoxiao's alchemy almost went wrong again.
"When refining Qi-boosting pills, the most important thing is stability!"
"Your current magical power is already insufficient, so you can't be impatient! Every step must be done correctly!"
Su Xing pointed out.
Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at the waste pills in the furnace in front of her and stuck out her tongue guiltily.
After a year and a half of practice, Bai Xiaoxiao has successfully become a third-level foundation-building cultivator.
He has mastered most of the second-level elixirs.
And Su Xing was also going to teach her how to make a third-level elixir...
"I know, Master! I've made great progress!"
"It's only been a little over a year, and I'm already in the foundation-building stage!"
"Now all the herbal medicine shops in Baiyu City are vying for me to be their alchemist!"
Bai Xiaoxiao was very content, and looked at Su Xing with endless gratitude.
Su Xing shook his head slightly and taught: "On the path of cultivation, you must fight against heaven, earth and people... If you don't advance, you will retreat!"
“Don’t be complacent!”
After scolding him, Su Xing looked at the sky and asked with some doubt:
"Why hasn't Ayu (Bai Yutang) come back yet?"
"At this time normally, he should be in a hurry to come back for dinner..."
After hearing Su Xing's question, Bai Xiaoxiao also felt a little strange, so she said:
"An hour ago, I asked him to sell pills at the pharmacy in order to exchange them for some spirit stones for his cultivation..."
"We have been doing this frequently over the past year, so there shouldn't be any accidents, right?"
Su Xing remained silent after hearing this, but a bad feeling arose in his heart.
Although he was unable to mobilize the power of the Great Dao for divination, the cultivator's sixth sense was still there.
So Su Xing shook his head and said, "Don't worry, go check around the pharmacy... Remember to be safe."
After hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao nodded and hurried to the herbal medicine shop in the city.
