Chapter 679 - Recipe for the Demon-Breaking Pill (2/2)

What’s more, ever since this Soul Formation Sword Cultivator Yi Qing came to Gui Yi Sect, Tai Yan Sect had become more and more wary of them. From time to time, they would even find fault with them. If Gui Yi Sect made this mistake, they might just be giving Tai Yan Sect the excuse to wipe them out!

“Then… This Demon-Breaking Pill is…?”

“Yu Luan asked around about this Supremacy Teng Jue. Apparently, he has a disciple whom he dotes on – a nephew – who got accidentally injured by a fiendish cultivator. He’s lost his sentience. The Demon-Breaking Pill would be able to clear his heart and make it pure again. It can also help him to recover his sentience. Supremacy Teng Jue was the one who found this recipe together with Junior Brother Tian Ji. As long as Junior Brother Tian Ji says something, it should not matter that this batch of Demon-Breaking Pills are late. However…” He didn’t think that this recipe would require Thousand Leaves Spirit Flowers.

This was a mess that Tian Ji had created once again. Lonemoon recalled the recipe from before and asked, “I have something I do not understand. Since Supremacy Tian Ji was able to give this recipe to you, it shows that there’s nothing that he’s trying to keep for himself. Since he’s already gained the inheritance, why doesn’t he just pass it down to the disciples in the sect? For all we know, the disciples might be able to rush the pills out. Why must he leave it to you alone?”

“Brother Lonemoon, there are things you might not understand,” Tian Yi began to explain. “Although there’s nothing special about the recipe, for some reason, only Junior Brother Tian Ji is able to refine some of the pills in the inheritance. It’s the same for me. Just knowing the recipe alone will not help me refine the pills that I need.”

Lonemoon stared blankly at him. This was strange. He did not know there was such a thing? The so-called inheritance should have only contained some manuals on pill refinement, as well as some recipes at most. Tian Yi was a tenth-stage alchemist. His practical experience must have been more than sufficient. With the correct recipe, why would he not be able to refine the pills?

Unless… Tian Ji’s pill refinement process had a special step inside of it that other people could not replicate. This technique must have an effect on the success rate of the pill refinement. And there were only several things that affected the pill refinement process. One was the ingredients. Another was the spell. And a third was… the fire!

Heh heh, this was a coincidence. It was no wonder that Tian Ji wanted to hold that fiendish cultivator captive for so many years. He wanted the dark fire!

Pills that were refined using dark fires were naturally different from the ones that were refined using normal fires.

“Brother Lonemoon, do you know of any way to solve this problem with the Thousand Leaves Spirit Flower?” Tian Yi could not help but ask.

Lonemoon glanced at him. Of course he had a way. There were many such flowers in his storage room. All of them were flowers that Radish tried to give to Shen Ying, which Lonemoon later kept away. The only thing was that he could not just take them out. First and foremost, he would not have a convincing story to tell. What’s more, Radish had already ascended to immortality for a long time. It was no longer an ordinary vegetation spirit. its flowers were thus already top-grade immortal herbs. If Lonemoon brought them down to be used for pill refinement in the lower realm, he was unsure what consequences there might be. Thus, there was no way he could just take them out so easily.

He smiled politely and said, “I’ll ask around for you on this matter. I haven’t seen such a flower with my own eyes either.”

“Even you have no solution?” Tian Yi was crestfallen. He slumped down in his seat, visibly disappointed.

Lonemoon took one glance at him and could not help but added, “There are so many spirit herbs in this world. Brother Tian Yi, why must you look for the Thousand Leaves Spirit Flower specifically?” As far as Lonemoon knew, there was not just one method to produce the Demon-Breaking Pill. He alone already knew more than ten different recipes for the same pill. None of them required Radish’s flowers.

“Brother Lonemoon, you must be joking.” Tian Yi smiled bitterly. “Apart from being able to improve the quality of pills, the Thousand Leaves Spirit Flower is also a wood-elemental ingredient. Thus, it has the effect of warming one’s body and clearing one’s mind. That’s the reason it can be used to refine Demon-Breaking Pills.”

“But improving the quality of the pills aside, there are many other spirit herbs that can also clear one’s mind.”
