Chapter 113: Refining the Poisonous Elixir

  "Wood Spirit Transformation Technique?" Song Elder furrowed his brow: "Is Xiao Elder joking? To let me harm my own vital energy to lift the death seal for a mere early-stage Yuan Union Realm disciple?"

  "Xiao certain knows that it's a bit difficult, but this kind of prohibition is probably hard to lift even for the Great Elder, so I hope Elder Song can lend a hand!" Xiao Lao said with a serious expression.

  "Hmph, don't mention that the Great Elder can't solve it, even if he could, why would he take action for such a small matter? My Tianxuan Sect has so many disciples, whoever has something going on always bothers the various Elders. If we do that, then we might as well not cultivate and just focus on taking care of children!" Song Elder shrugged his shoulders, saying indifferently.

  Shi Sheng furrowed his brow, listening to the conversation between the two. It seemed that lifting his death seal wouldn't be easy, even for Song Lao, and it would also come with a great cost. Moreover, Song Lao had some prejudice against him, making it even more unlikely that he would easily lend a hand.

  "After all, this child is my disciple, and his qualifications are quite good, so..." Elder Xiao had not finished speaking when Elder Song waved his hand.

  "There's no need to waste your breath, he's not even my disciple. Besides, with his talent, he's at most just above average. In the Tianxuan Sect, we don't say that one in a hundred or one in a thousand is exceptional, but there are definitely not many like him. Take people like Huo Wei, Wu Qi, and Yin Hong - isn't each of them stronger than him?" Elder Song sneered.

  Xiao Lao just wanted to speak, but Song Lao's face turned stern: "Xiao Lao, I still have to prepare for the Qingfeng Conference, and I also need to cultivate myself. Moreover, there are some disciples who need to be taken care of, plus the trivial matters of the sect. I really don't have time to chat with you, so I won't see you off!"

  Xiao Lao shook his head helplessly and took Shi Sheng away from the Law Enforcement Hall.

  "Shi Sheng, you are now poisoned, it's best if you can cure yourself. Otherwise, don't force it. Those materials are all highly toxic and the refined elixir also contains high toxicity. If an ordinary person takes it, they will definitely be poisoned or even die."

  Unfortunately, some sects are most taboo about the poisonous path, and generally regard such people as evil cultivators. So whether your method can detoxify or not, we also cannot verify it. You'd better be cautious when taking it. As for the fatal poison, I found that there is at least half a year's time before it takes effect. Within this period, I will try my best to think of a solution for you.

  However, in just three months, it will be the Qingfeng Conference. The master has also been busy with some things recently and has no time to take care of this matter. When there is nothing to do, focus on cultivating. Even if one's talent and resources are insufficient, relying on ten times more effort than others can still lead to success! Elder Xiao said seriously.

  "Thank you, Master, for your teachings. I will definitely work hard to cultivate!" Shi Sheng's face turned serious as he said: "By the way, Master, what are the conditions for participating in the Qingfeng Conference? Do I have a chance to participate?"

  Xiao Chang's eyes widened in surprise, then he shook his head and said: "This matter requires discussion and decision by the Council of Elders, it's not something that one or two people can decide on their own. However, even if you can't participate, as a Yuanhe border disciple, you can still go out and see the world!"

  "I see, then I won't disturb Master for now!" Shi Sheng cupped his hands and picked up the bag, heading straight towards the Alchemy Pavilion, while Xiao Changlao returned to the Tianyuan Pavilion.

  "How's it going? Nothing wrong, right? I saw that Huo Wei wasn't up to any good, and with Song Lao coming, you'd be in even more trouble, so I had no choice but to inform your master! Hehe." On the road, Xiao Pangzi slipped out from beside him.

  "Oh, it was you who informed my master!" Shi Sheng smiled, this Lin Pangzi is not a bad person and has helped him a lot, so Shi Sheng had a good impression of him.

  "There's a Xuanling Dan here and also a top-grade Huoyu Fu, I'll give them to you. I have something to attend to." Shi Sheng said.

  "Hey, don't you have any talismans for sale here?" Lin Paozi scratched his head with some embarrassment.

  Shi Sheng hesitated for a moment before speaking, "These are all mid-level talismans used in the Yuanhe realm. Do you have any way to sell them?" Lin Paozi was only at the Huahai realm after all, and Shi Sheng felt that he probably didn't have much contact with the Yuanhe realm.

  "Hey, have you forgotten my good friend Li Wei from the same village? He's studying talismans at the sect, and if you buy them from him, he has all kinds of realms. After all, he specializes in talismanic arts and has a master to guide him. He's like a small rich man in the Refining Pavilion, already advanced to the Yuanhe realm!" Lin Pangzi said with envy.

  "It turns out that's the case, so I do have some intermediate talismans here. How about this, I'll give you these talismans and you can sell them as you see fit. When the time comes, you can keep some of the Xuanjing Jade for yourself and just give me the rest!" Shi Sheng handed over some talismans to Lin Paozi.

  "Alright, alright, I'll sell them off as soon as possible and get the highest price! I'm off first!" Lin Paozi took a look at the talismans in his hand, only to find that there were only a few low-grade top-tier ones, while the rest were mid-grade talismans. He ran away excitedly.

  "This guy!" Shi Sheng shook his head, carrying the bag to Lian Dan Ge. Yi Fei happened to be on duty and saw Shi Sheng, first stunned, then smiled and nodded.

  "Shi Shidi, you've actually advanced to the Yuanhe realm! Congratulations!" Yifei said with a smile, his eyes showing some surprise.

  "Compared to Brother Yifei, it's still a far cry. This time, I'm preparing to refine a Dan medicine, and I'd like to ask Brother Yifei to find an empty Dan room!" Shi Sheng discovered that Yifei was also in the Yuanhe realm, and his cultivation seemed to be even stronger than his own. He casually took out a small bag containing some Xuanjing jade.

  Yi Fei's consciousness swept over the small bag, without checking, as if he already knew the number of Xuanjing jade, and said: "Let's still use the same dan room as last time, after all, choosing a dan room frequently will make one more familiar with it, increasing the proficiency of alchemy."

  Yi Fei brought Shi Sheng to a single room, and the two of them were now familiar with each other's boundaries. They chatted for a long time, looking like they had hit it off, and Yi Fei was also very polite to Shi Sheng.

  Yi Fei retreated, Shi Sheng skillfully closed the stone gate, and with a wave of his hand, he began to refine the elixir.

  Hua Wu Xie was poisoned by a highly toxic substance from the Qinglong Guard, and the antidote didn't have a name. In short, it was a poisonous elixir. Others might have medical skills to detoxify, but Hua Wu Xie, being a poison cultivator himself, actually used the method of fighting poison with poison.

  Fortunately, Xiao Lao and Song Lao did not understand the poisonous path, nor could they see the specific usage of these poisons by Shi Sheng. They thought it was for Shi Sheng's own detoxification. As for this Dan formula, Shi Sheng had long memorized it thoroughly, and since he believed his alchemy skills were not bad, he planned to refine it himself, also gaining some experience in alchemy at the same time.

  Since it's self-refining Dan, Shi Sheng naturally had preparations early on, and the purchased materials were more than sufficient. Even if he was a bit wasteful, he should at least be able to successfully refine one pellet.

  Like this, Shi Sheng controlled the medicine cauldron and carefully refined the elixir. The sound of explosions occasionally came from the dan room, but Shi Sheng had already developed a strong resistance to it. Even if he failed, he could just restart the refining process! (End of chapter, next chapter will be even more exciting!)

  I've been having a cold for the past two days, and yesterday afternoon I had a high fever that wouldn't subside, so I ended up getting an IV. This morning when I woke up, my eyes were too heavy to open, and I had to get another shot. My whole body feels weak and I'm lacking energy, but seeing all of your recommended votes and rewards has motivated me to keep writing and updating. It's snowing heavily in the Northeast and it's really cold, so everyone please take care of yourselves - wear more clothes when it's cold outside, or you'll end up catching a cold, getting a fever, having a runny nose, and being unable to sleep due to nasal congestion, which is truly miserable.
