“Three days,” Shi Xuan said. “I’m going back to pick someone up.”
"Who is it that our captain has to personally pick them up? What a grand entrance!" Chen Qi was a little surprised, because usually, disciples were escorted in by elders of their sect, and then picked up by elders from the garrison. He rarely heard of anyone needing to be picked up.
Shi Xuan shrugged and said, "It's not that he's a big shot, it's just that he owes me too many spirit stones. I'm afraid that if something happens to him, I won't be able to find anyone to collect the spirit stones."
Lu Shenzhi: "..."
When he heard Shi Xuan say that she was going to pick someone up, a warm feeling suddenly welled up in his heart. He couldn't explain why, but he felt that the words touched him in some way, as if he had never been unconscious and had just gone on a long journey. Now, his junior sister was just going back to pick him up.
But the next sentence immediately wiped away his emotion. Did she have to bring up spirit stones out of the blue? He wouldn't renege on his debt if she didn't mention them! Junior Sister is really good at ruining the mood!
But Lu Wenxing chimed in, "We definitely have to go pick him up! Don't let him get away! Keep a close eye on him. Once he gets here, we can all help watch over him and urge him to return the spirit stones quickly!"
Lu Shenzhi: "..."
Me and my unfortunate junior brothers and sisters...
Shi Xuan bid farewell to the members of the best team and flew alone towards the exit on the puppet sword.
The passage at the exit is a multi-faceted entrance, originally opening to different continents at different times of the year. However, this passage now leads directly to the western border of Qian Yuan and has not been closed for a long time.
Shi Xuan didn't even need the elders to bring the pass tokens; he could just go directly through.
After a bout of dizziness subsided, Shi Xuan returned to the long-lost Qian Yuan Western Territory.
This passage was not far from the Lianfeng Sword Sect, and Shi Xuan quickly returned to the sect.
The disciples of the Lianfeng Sword Sect were all very surprised to see Shi Xuan. Didn't he say he had already gone to the outer realm arena? How come he returned so quickly? Could it be that, as their senior brothers had said, the cultivation resources in the outer realm arena were indeed worse than those within the sect?
Shi Xuan couldn't understand their complicated feelings, so she went directly to Lin Daozi.
Lin Daozi was greatly alarmed to see that Shi Xuan had returned before the appointed time. He knew his disciple's character well; she would never return early just because of the difficult situation in the outer regions. Her presence here could only mean something serious had happened.
"What happened?" Lin Daozi asked immediately. He stood up from his seat, walked a few steps to Shi Xuan's side, looked the little disciple up and down, and only felt relieved when he saw that she was unharmed.
"Master," Shi Xuan bowed to Lin Daozi and said, "Disciple has gathered all the materials to awaken Senior Brother. Please take me to the back mountain."
"Really?!" Lin Daozi was overjoyed. He had been searching everywhere for Soul Gathering Stones recently, but to no avail. He never expected that his little disciple would collect them all so soon!
Shi Xuan nodded and smiled, "Absolutely true!"
"Good, good, good!" Lin Daozi clapped his hands happily. The matter of his eldest disciple had been a hurdle in his heart for more than ten years. He never expected that by taking in this junior disciple, he would gain these opportunities from him.
"Let's go! Let's go to the back mountain with Master!" Lin Daozi looked at the illusory figure that appeared next to Shi Xuan. His eldest disciple was about to materialize. How could he not be extremely excited!
Lin Daozi wanted to go to the back mountain to see his eldest disciple, but unlike Shi Xuan at the beginning, he didn't have to go through the trouble of blowing up the dining hall before being punished by being sent to the back mountain to reflect on his mistakes.
This time, she followed Lin Daozi in, swaggering inside. No one stopped her, and her sense of accomplishment diminished considerably; it was no challenge at all.
When they arrived at the place where Lu Shenzhi was placed, he was lying there with the same expression as when they last met, as if he were just asleep.
Shi Xuan teased, "Hey, senior brother, it's been over a year since we last met, and you're still as lifelike as ever."
Lu Shenzhi was amused by her: "Fine, fine, I admit I'm a corpse. Now I'm just hoping my junior sister can revive me!"
Shi Xuan glanced at him. Every time this guy said he wanted to resurrect him, he would correct him on the fact that he was still alive. Has he become immune to this now? If he really comes back to life, he doesn't care about any explanation.
Lin Daozi watched his two proud disciples bicker with a smile, already imagining the scene after Lu Shenzhi woke up. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He rubbed his hands together and asked, "Xuan'er, is there anything your master can do for you?"
“Then I really have to trouble you, Master,” Shi Xuan said. “I need to trouble you to protect me here, Master. I need some time.”
"No problem!" Lin Daozi was genuinely excited at this moment, and his usually calm face was filled with a smile that he couldn't hide.
In fact, Shi Xuan was just making up an excuse for his master. This was the forbidden area in the back mountain of the Lianfeng Sword Sect, and outsiders could not enter. His senior brother's body had been left here for more than ten years without being disturbed, so it was really safe.
Shi Xuan walked to Lu Shenzhi's side, took out a small jade bottle, pricked his fingertip, and took out half a bottle of blood. Then she sat down on the spot and took out the other ingredients for the Soul-Returning Pill and her Chaos Cauldron.
The Rejuvenation Pill is an extremely yin and yang substance, and using the Netherworld Flame that was subdued at the Hidden Sect last time is the most suitable option.
A pale purple flame emerged from Shi Xuan's fingertips. Instead of being scorching hot, it lowered the temperature of the entire space.
The extremely cold flames enveloped the Chaos Cauldron, completing a very special "heat furnace" process.
Once the spiritual energy of the flames was evenly distributed on the inner wall of the alchemy furnace, Shi Xuan added the prepared materials one by one in order, with Lu Shenzhi's own blood being the last addition.
The Resurrection Pill is an extremely special elixir. It must be refined by a specific person because the refining process requires the blood of the person in question. Taking it indiscriminately can be fatal.
Therefore, no finished product has been passed down in this world. In addition, very few people have used this elixir. Over time, the method of making the elixir has been gradually lost. This is why it has become an almost extinct existence in this world.
Both the Resurrection Pill and the Spirit Restoration Pill are seventh-tier pills, but the Resurrection Pill is more difficult to obtain because it contains the blood of the person in question, and it requires more attention to how to make the blood and the medicinal properties blend together.
A cultivator's blood will have different attributes depending on their spiritual roots and cultivation methods, and Lu Shenzhi's blood is even more complicated to refine.
He possesses both metal and lightning spiritual roots, and his blood carries an extremely violent and sharp spiritual power. This kind of blood is most likely to cause an explosion when added to materials, making it the most disliked material among alchemists.
Shi Xuan used his divine sense and spiritual power to envelop all the blood, and then slowly released it little by little during the process of pill formation.
