There's Something Wrong With My Immortal Path

Chapter 23: Obedient Disciple, Taking Medicine

It was night.

The moonlight was like condensed fat, and the gentle breeze was like a sigh.

Chewing on a bitter piece of grass ginseng, Xia Ming's gaze kept drifting.

From a pile of herbs on the desk, it drifted to a long-necked jade bottle in the middle of the desk.

The moment he saw the jade bottle, Xia Ming couldn't take his eyes off it.

Inside the white jade bottle was the Soul Milk left to him by He Niansheng.

Soul Milk was born deep in the spiritual mine.

It gathered the spiritual energy of the earth and nurtured the wonders of the Great Dao.

It could be considered a rare spiritual object.

If added to ordinary spring water, it could instantly turn it into spiritual spring water.

It could cleanse the essence, refine the body, and be called a masterpiece.

Xia Ming knew that this small bottle of Soul Milk was probably very valuable.

To think that He Niansheng would give him such a precious item.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Xia Ming supported his chin with both hands, his gaze wandering.

Could it be that I'm overthinking?

Does He Niansheng really have no ill intentions towards me?

Am I being too suspicious...

In a daze, He Niansheng's voice sounded in Xia Ming's ears again.

Xia Ming, you have to believe in yourself.

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

This is Huangliang ginseng, warm in nature, strengthens qi and blood...

This is Sanqiu cicada, buried underground for three years, born in summer, dies in autumn...

This is Wanderer's Thought, vine growing for many years, with a cool and light taste, long-lasting sweetness...

...

Maybe I'm overthinking it.

Sigh...

After a long sigh, Xia Ming slowly stood up.

His fingertips gently touched the slender jade bottle as he muttered to himself:

The Great River Sect has continued until now, relying on this kind of master-disciple relationship, right?

Generation after generation, never-ending.

Even the master has a master, perhaps I will become someone else's master in the future.

The incense continues, it's not just a master-disciple relationship, it's more like a father and son.

Does he need a reason to be good to me?

Am I being too sensitive?

Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Xia Ming finally picked up the jade bottle.

Looking at the slowly rippling Soul Milk in the jar, Xia Ming's eyes were filled with longing.

Oh, Soul Milk, please don't disappoint me.

With anticipation in his heart, Xia Ming slowly immersed himself in the large jar.

At the moment when he activated his lower dantian, a hint of surprise flashed in Xia Ming's eyes.

This water seemed unusually heavy, even when he fully activated his Spirit Root, it remained unaffected.

One hour... two hours... until eight hours.

Only then did Xia Ming manage to refine half of the jar of water.

Although the speed was slow, the results were astonishing.

A thick mist had already enveloped the space above his lower dantian.

Like a sea of clouds, like steaming mist.

Just three hours of arduous cultivation was equivalent to the progress of a whole day before.

Without any hesitation, Xia Ming directly copied all of it into blue diodes.

He ended up with twenty extra blue diodes!

If he continued like this, reaching the Spirit Root realm was just a matter of time!

Having tasted the sweetness, how could Xia Ming easily give up?

Without saying a word, he continued to boil water.

...

While Xia Ming was diligently cultivating his Spirit Root, a roar echoed from the depths of Qing Elixir Peak.

"Fifty Foundation Building Pills for one season, three hundred Qi Refining Pills! You three families really dare to ask for it!"

"Are you trying to drain the resources of Qing Elixir Peak?"

"Qing Elixir Peak belongs to me, not you! Great River Sect is bullshit! So-called Elders are bullshit!"

"Jiang Chong! Do you really think I'm a fool?"

With a tight grip, He Niansheng suddenly burned the sect's jade slip into ashes.

As he stood up and walked, his white hair fluttered, and a chilling aura condensed around He Niansheng.

There's no time to waste...

Those old guys want to meddle with Qing Elixir Peak.

Damn it!

The Four Great River Clans, the bullshit Great River Sect!

The bullshit Elders!

He Niansheng was well aware now that this Great River Sect was a trap!

A trap that drains the value, freedom, and soul of a person!

He Niansheng only regrets not waking up earlier.

As a result, he wasted his prime youth.

Unable to become an infant, that group of people wants to divide and devour him!

How can he stay in this Great River any longer!

But it's not easy to escape either.

He Niansheng's lifespan is already short.

But there is always a way out.

When the road turns, look up and see the sky.

Li Dahua from the Soul Capturing Cliff has brought him a huge surprise.

Hidden Spirit Root!

A hidden Spirit Root like the Ancestor of Inspiration!

Even the Soul Daoist who created the Soul Seizing Technique cannot forget about the hidden Spirit Root.

In the Soul Daoist's notes, He Niansheng obtained the Soul Seizing Technique.

[The Soul Seizing Technique] emphasizes methods and materials.

He Niansheng has learned the technique of seizing a body.

However, the key to selecting materials was destroyed by Jiang Xiong.

Through the remaining fragments, He Niansheng can only deduce some details.

The Soul Daoist highly praised the hidden Spirit Root, perhaps it can be considered a good material for body seizing?

In fact, He Niansheng had secretly tried the technique on a few disciples.

But without exception, they all failed.

They couldn't even pass the cultivation stage.

Even Yin Shiqi, who He Niansheng had high hopes for, failed.

That kid had the Water Spirit Root!

Just when He Niansheng was feeling disheartened, Heaven sent him Xia Ming.

In order to gain Xia Ming's trust, He Niansheng was extremely sincere.

He even revealed the Great River Qi Refining Technique and the Earthly Mind Milk.

He sincerely taught him about pill knowledge and cultivation insights.

Breeding is like raising a child, it requires sincerity.

Breeding also requires attention to steps.

...

Huangliang ginseng, Sanqiu cicada, Yuzi Nian, Yimeng grass.

In the herbal class that He Niansheng taught Xia Ming, it included these four main herbs.

The four main herbs, plus water from the four seasons, several miscellaneous ingredients, and finally embellished with Earthly Mind Milk.

And this is the first dose of breeding medicine.

This medicine is called "Dream Huangliang".

The wandering child remembers the autumn, a dream shatters the yellow millet.

Early years covered in frost and dew, in old age, sorrow for the hometown.

...

Wandering child, come back.

There must be someone in this world that you cherish.

Like parents, siblings, lovers...

Or... a respected master!

They would never harm you.

...

He Niansheng knows very well that after taking Dream Huangliang, Xia Ming will definitely trust him more and more.

And he can take this opportunity to study the hidden Spirit Root, after all, it is quite a rare item.

Alchemists are always curious about various materials, and He Niansheng is no exception.

When the Ancestor of Inspiration emerged, he was unparalleled in the Western Cangzhou.

The Ancestor once said that the hidden Spirit Root is indescribably wonderful.

How wonderful it is, no one knows.

After all, the Ancestor of Inspiration is a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Who would dare to provoke him if they can't handle it?

The Ancestor of Inspiration's reputation is so prominent that for a long time, many cultivators praised the hidden Spirit Root.

Some even said that the hidden Spirit Root surpasses the High Grade Spirit Root!

Now, He Niansheng also has a hidden Spirit Root in his hands.

And soon, he, He Niansheng, will also become a hidden Spirit Root!

Thinking of this, He Niansheng couldn't contain his excitement.

The path to immortality!

My path to immortality!

Finally, it continues!

In the midst of this excitement, something suddenly flashed in He Niansheng's arms.

It was a communication jade slip.

[Junior Brother, come to the main hall of the sect, the Elder Council.]
