What medicinal ingredients are needed, and what are the requirements for their age?
“Report to Sir. The main ingredient of Soul-Condensing Pill is ‘Ghost Grass’, which requires at least a hundred years of medicinal power.”
“As for the auxiliary ingredients, ginseng, lingzhi, Yin-Yang grass… among these, only ginseng requires more than 20 years, while the others simply need to be mature, with no age requirement.”
Gentleman Bai She recalled.
“Sir, if you want to refine the Soul-Condensing Pill, 1 have all the auxiliary ingredients ready. You only need to prepare the main ingredient.”
After thinking for a while.
He took out a green skin book from his bosom.
“This book contains descriptions of common spiritual medicines, and Ghost Grass is included.” Gentleman Bai She slightly bowed and handed over the book.
“Alright, you go ahead and get busy. I’ll find the main ingredient and come back to you!”
Xuanqing took the book and waved to Gentleman Bai She.
“Yes, Sir!”
After Gentleman Bai She left.
Xuanqing sat cross-legged on the cushion and opened the green skin book.
The green skin book was entirely green, without a name. The handwriting inside was also hand-copied, and it seemed that Gentleman Bai She wrote it himself.
He found the page about ‘Ghost Grass’.
“As I thought, Ghost Grass grows in the Land of Darkness.”
Upon hearing the name, he had already guessed that this so-called Ghost Grass might be related to the Land of Darkness.
“Ghost Grass, born in the Netherworld, with leaves like cicadas, roots like insects, grows one ring every ten years, and emits a chili of gloom throughout.” Xuanqing muttered softly.
It’s worth mentioning that.
There was also a colored illustration, surprisingly, Gentleman Bai She had exceptional painting skills in addition to alchemy.
“It seems familiar and shouldn’t be too rare. Let’s go to the Land of Darkness and take a look!”
Thinking like this.
Xuanqing took out the Tong You Ling.
“Tongyou!”
Hum-
The Tong You Ling floated in the air and exuded a black mist from it, forming a door about six feet high.
Soul out of the body!
A translucent figure separated from the physical body, and eventually entered the black misty gate.
Netherworld.
On the outskirts of Minglang City.
A translucent figure floated in the air, flying back and forth as if looking for something. It was Xuanqing who had come to the Land of Darkness to search for Ghost Grass.
Ghost Grass, with a hundred years of medicinal power, is not common. However, a few years or a decade’s worth of Ghost Grass is easy to find.
And so.
In a pile of rocks, there was a small grass about two inches tall, with leaves like cicadas and roots like insects, and it only had one ring.
“A Ghost Grass of over a decade’s worth of medicine!”
Xuanqing bent down to examine the small grass in the pile of rocks.
With a thought.
“Activate a 10-year time acceleration!”
[Beep- Ingot – 100, please specify the acceleration target for the player!]
Xuanqing concentrated his attention on the Ghost Grass, silently designating the target in his mind.
The next moment.
The Ghost Grass in the pile of rocks started to glow blue, and its whole body swayed like a time-lapse animation.
After a while.
Another soul ring grew on the stem of Ghost Grass, turning into a twenty-year Ghost Grass.
Seeing this.
Xuanqing’s mouth curled into a smile, and again thought in his heart: “Activate an 80-year time acceleration, designate this Ghost Grass as the target!” [Beep- Ingot – 800!]
At the moment when the ingots were deducted.
The Ghost Grass swayed wildly as if dancing, and a powerful gravity was generated out of thin air.
The surrounding Netherworld energy surged, swarming into the Soul Grass all at once.
The Soul Grass, like a giant whale, voraciously devoured the Netherworld energy, converting it into nutrients for itself.
The soul rings on its branches increased as well.
From the original two soul rings, it became three… four… five… six!
It continued all the way until there were ‘ten’ soul rings on the branches, and only stopped growing after becoming a hundred-year medicinal power Soul Grass.
This Soul Grass was now several times larger than the original one, with a full two feet size, and the ten soul rings glowing blue illuminated the entire gray-white land.
Seeing this scene,
“No wonder hundred-year Soul Grass is so rare, with such a dazzling appearance, it’s as if it’s afraid of not being noticed by others!”
Xuanqing marveled.
Just as the saying goes, a wood that stands out in the forest is bound to be destroyed by the wind. As a spiritual medicine, it’s so eye-catching, what’s the difference between it and those scantily-clad girls in the secular world who go to the bar?
But just one Soul Grass wasn’t enough to satisfy him. After picking the hundred-year Soul Grass and putting it into the game backpack,
he embarked on the journey to search for Soul Grass once more.
The so-called Land of Darkness,
can be regarded as the dark side of the human world, as big as the human world is, so is the underground realm of darkness.
And this section of the Land of Darkness was born when Black Wind Town, which was originally Menglang City, was still small.
In the vast Netherworld,
everything was grayish-white, both above and below ground.
Half an hour later,
Xuanqing found a second Soul Grass.
This Soul Grass was growing in a dried-up river, its small body less than a foot in size, and there wasn’t even a single soul ring on its branches.
It should be a newly born Soul Grass.
An idea emerged in his mind. The reason why this Soul Grass could grow was most likely due to the recent deaths of Black Wind Town’s people, who were then led to the Netherworld for reincarnation.
After all,
the previous decline and decay of the Netherworld, as well as its appearance of being sickly and incapable of protecting itself, made it impossible for a Soul Grass to be born.
“It seems that I’m lucky. When I first saved this City God, I only wanted to practice, but now there’s such an unexpected gain.”
Xuanqing’s mouth curled slightly upward.
After that, he followed the same method.
“Activate 100-year time acceleration!”
[Beep-Ingot-800]
As the ingots were deducted, the Soul Grass released a strong suction and instantly absorbed all of the Netherworld energy around them.
Then,
he picked up the hundred-year medicinal power Soul Grass and put it into the system backpack.
And continued searching.
An hour later, he found the third Soul Grass!
Two hours… the fourth one, four hours later… the fifth one… the seventh one…
After five hours,
he found the ninth Soul Grass on a slope. Just as he was about to nurture it into a hundred-year medicinal power,
Suddenly,
there was some disturbance not far away.
Xuanqing looked,
and saw the City God, wearing tattered clothes, staggering over with fear on his face.
It was just in time,
at this moment, the Soul Grass had fully matured, so he grabbed it and put it into the game backpack.
“City God, what brings you here?” Xuanqing asked with a solemn tone.
“It’s Friend Xuanqing!”
The fear on the City God’s face had not yet dissipated.
After bowing his hands, he anxiously asked, “1 sensed that the Netherworld was in turmoil and that my life was in danger. So, I came over to investigate. I’ve been chasing for eight locations, but I haven’t caught up yet.”
“Do you know what happened, fellow Daoist?”
