There's Something Wrong With My Immortal Path

Chapter 22: Believe in Yourself!

The scenes of the past seem to be right before his eyes.

Hei Niansheng has no regrets about his past actions.

If time could turn back, he would still choose to kill Jiang Xiong.

And it would be a thunderous kill!

Absolutely not giving that guy a chance to destroy the handscroll!

Ruining my path to immortality is like digging up ancestral graves!

Jiang Xiong deserves to die, he deserves it!

As his cold gaze shifted, a white snake slowly emerged from Hei Niansheng's sleeve.

The white snake raised its head, its snow-white eyes covered in a thin mist.

Gently stroking the snake's head, Hei Niansheng murmured to himself:

"Go, go, go and keep an eye on him for me."

As soon as Hei Niansheng finished speaking, the white snake swam into the white mist below, blurring its figure.

...

At the same time, inside the grass hut, Xia Ming was examining the three large jars left behind by Hei Niansheng.

The left one was cold, the middle one was hot, and the right one was warm.

Looking at the jars, Xia Ming looked at himself.

Finally, Xia Ming took off his shirt and sat directly into the middle jar with his bare upper body.

With the activation of the diode in his lower dantian, a small vortex appeared in Xia Ming's lower abdomen.

Xia Ming's branded electric kettle had started running.

Dozens of diodes heated up together.

The efficiency of boiling water was simply terrifying.

Looking at the condensed spiritual energy, Xia Ming was so excited that his whole body trembled.

This is really a good jar of water!

Closing his eyes and focusing on his lower dantian, Xia Ming didn't notice the movement outside the window.

A slender white snake had crawled onto the window sill without him realizing it.

At this moment, the white snake was staring at Xia Ming in the jar with wide eyes.

This scene was too incredible.

As time passed, the water level in the jar began to decrease little by little.

And the spiritual energy in Xia Ming's lower dantian was rapidly accumulating.

Replicate!

Replicate the Spirit Root!

Cultivating Qi while replicating the Spirit Root.

With just this jar of water, it was equivalent to dozens of jars of mountain spring water.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Ming still left some spiritual energy in his lower dantian.

If Hei Niansheng were to question him, he could explain himself.

He couldn't just spend days without any progress in his cultivation.

Before three days had passed, Xia Ming had completely used up the three jars of water.

And the number of diodes in his lower dantian had reached fifty.

In his lower dantian, half of the character "sea" could already be faintly seen.

Just when Xia Ming was overwhelmed with joy, the white snake hiding outside the window quietly emerged from the white mist.

Outside the mist, Hei Niansheng had been waiting for a long time.

Staring into the eyes of the white snake, Hei Niansheng couldn't help but sigh.

"Soul Daoist! You truly are a genius! The method of planting souls is truly profound."

As Hei Niansheng and the white snake locked eyes, Hei Niansheng took a deep breath, and a hazy white mist was sucked into his mouth and nose.

The white mist dissipated, the white snake turned to ashes, and Hei Niansheng slowly opened his eyes.

"What kind of anomaly is happening in Xia Ming's lower dantian!"

"Is he perfecting the Spirit Root?"

"Could this be the mystery of the hidden Spirit Root?"

With the help of the white snake's eyes, Hei Niansheng naturally knew everything Xia Ming had done in the past three days.

After hesitating for a moment, Hei Niansheng strode towards the grass hut.

"Xia Ming, since it's like this, I'll lend you a hand."

"I want to see what kind of miracle you can create!"

"Hidden Spirit Root! What secrets are you hiding!"

...

Xia Ming, sitting cross-legged on the bed, immediately stood up when he heard Hei Niansheng's footsteps.

"Disciple Xia Ming pays respects to Master!"

After glancing at Xia Ming, Hei Niansheng nodded slightly.

"Not bad, not bad. Second level of Qi Refining, I'm sure you've been practicing diligently these past few days."

"Disciple will not disappoint Master's high expectations."

"Good, good."

With a flash of light in his eyes, Hei Niansheng's tone suddenly changed.

"Xia Ming, would you like to refine pills?"

"Pills?"

Upon hearing these words, Xia Ming immediately became interested.

It's fake to say that he doesn't want to.

In the world of Immortal Cultivation, how can one become stronger without taking elixirs?

Xia Ming definitely wouldn't want to buy elixirs.

Spending money is never in vain... it brings comfort.

Furthermore, if he learns alchemy himself.

He can also eat with peace of mind.

Xia Ming doesn't want to eat elixirs made by some old man with a white beard.

The thought of the Leg-Stretching Eye-Widening Pill is enough to ruin his appetite.

And as far as Xia Ming knows, the Green Elixir Peak of the Great River Sect is good at alchemy.

He hasn't forgotten the words of the head of the menial disciples who scolded the disciples.

---

When you work at the Green Elixir Peak, be smart.

The cultivators at the Green Elixir Peak are all alchemy masters!

If you make them unhappy...

Hmph.

I won't be able to save you then.

From this, it can be seen that the status of cultivators who can practice alchemy is high.

Having multiple skills means having multiple paths.

Having many skills doesn't burden oneself.

With anticipation, Xia Ming couldn't help but hesitate.

Cultivators who practice alchemy also need certain conditions.

And this condition is the Spirit Root aptitude.

Fire Spirit Root is the best because it can better control temperature perception.

The alchemical furnace is unpredictable, and even a slight flaw can ruin all previous efforts, so perception is important.

Wood Spirit Root is second best, as it can perceive the state of medicinal materials and assist in igniting the furnace fire.

Other Spirit Roots besides fire and wood are not suitable for alchemy.

Xia Ming's Water Spirit Root is even contradictory to other Spirit Roots.

One cold, one hot, it could explode the furnace.

Thinking of this, Xia Ming slowly said:

"Master, disciple wants to learn alchemy, but disciple has a Water Spirit Root..."

"Water Spirit Root? What's wrong with a Water Spirit Root, Xia Ming? As for me, I have an Ice Spirit Root, and I still became the elder of the Green Elixir Peak, didn't I?"

Hearing this, Xia Ming's mind jolted.

Right, this He Nian Sheng has an Ice Spirit Root, which is much more extreme than water.

If the master can practice alchemy, why can't I?

Seeing Xia Ming's reaction, He Nian Sheng said with a serious expression:

"Xia Ming, alchemy is profound and vast, don't be obsessed with appearances."

"On the path of cultivation, one must dare to do what others cannot."

"Our cultivation is not like the ancient ways!"

"And don't blindly believe in old methods and common sense."

"You must believe in yourself!"

Hearing He Nian Sheng's words, Xia Ming's rebellious mentality was immediately aroused.

Yes, even if we cultivate immortality, why should we be bound by those common sense?

To hell with common sense!

My Spirit Root has turned into a diode, who can explain that?

Whose Qi Refining is like boiling water?

Who dares to say that my path to immortality is flawed?

I think it's reasonable!

Very scientific!

How can we be bound by ancient methods in our cultivation?

With this thought in mind, Xia Ming immediately bowed to He Nian Sheng.

"Please teach me alchemy, Master."

Gently patting Xia Ming's shoulder, waves began to stir in He Nian Sheng's eyes.

What is the Soul Seizing Possession Technique?

Planting a single grain of millet in spring, harvesting ten thousand seeds in autumn.

Isn't it early spring now?

The soul seed is no different.

It needs to be cultivated slowly.

Just like... treating a disciple.

"Good, from today onwards, I will teach you alchemy."

"Before practicing alchemy, you need to familiarize yourself with various spiritual materials and herbs."

"Recognize their appearance, touch their texture, taste their flavor, and touch their essence with your soul."

"Xia Ming, Xia Ming... you must not disappoint my high expectations."

"Master, rest assured, Xia Ming will practice diligently and will not disappoint your high expectations."
