There's Something Wrong With My Immortal Path

Chapter 71: All Six Senses Aligned, The Pill Furnace is Complete!

"Xia Ming, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Ming's abnormality naturally couldn't escape He Niansheng's eyes.

"It's nothing, Master. Your disciple didn't rest well last night..."

"Hiss—"

"What's wrong again?"

"It's a bit cold."

Just now, the woman behind Xia Ming actually hugged him directly.

Xia Ming instinctively took a cold breath, and as He Niansheng spoke, the woman's whisper also sounded in Xia Ming's ear.

"I really like the aura on your body. Don't move, let me lean on you for a while."

"Just for a while... I'm too tired."

Recalling the face of that woman, Xia Ming should have been delighted, but he couldn't be happy.

He couldn't quite figure out if this woman was a real woman from Xianzhou.

Or was she just a creation of Goldfinger's imagination?

Goldfinger not only started deceiving the eyes, but also started deceiving other senses?

Could it be that it sensed the crisis?

It doesn't want to continue devouring the Blood Pill?

While Xia Ming was contemplating, He Niansheng was still refining the pill.

"Luoyang Grass, Four Seasons Water, Xia Frost, Tai Sui, Poria... and also..."

"Xia Ming, release some blood again."

When Xia Ming released blood, Muchuan's chin rested on his shoulder.

With a sidelong glance, Xia Ming felt that delicate chin knocking against his heart.

"Don't release too much, you'll become weak."

Ignoring Muchuan's words, Xia Ming continued to release blood.

Inside the pill furnace, the flames gradually rose, and Xia Ming's ears turned slightly red.

He could feel that Muchuan was curiously pinching his earlobe.

"Xia Ming? Is your name Xia Ming? I'm Muchuan."

"Xia Ming, what exactly are you?"

With Rulan's breath so close, Xia Ming remained calm.

After a moment, the flames tightened, and a Blood Pill leaped out of the pill furnace.

This Blood Pill had a very good quality, even better than the previous one.

"Xia Ming, eat it while it's hot. Let's see how effective it is."

After taking the pill, Xia Ming heard a whisper from behind again.

"Don't eat it, that's a Mad Pill. The medicine he refined is wrong. If you eat it, you'll go crazy."

Looking at the blood-red pill in his palm, Xia Ming finally swallowed the Blood Pill.

He knew that once he ate this Blood Pill, all the answers would be revealed.

Is this woman really a creation of Goldfinger's imagination? A trial will reveal the truth!

And Muchuan behind Xia Ming just quietly watched everything happen.

She didn't speak, nor did she stop it.

After taking the Blood Pill, that floating feeling came again.

Clear-minded, sharp-eared, and perceptive.

Xia Ming calmly turned his head to look, and indeed, there was nothing behind him.

Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!

It tricked me for so long!

Muchuan!

As I expected!

This is the trick Goldfinger came up with to deceive me!

This guy even peeked at my preferences. Speaking of which, Muchuan is really good-looking.

The human brain can deceive itself in order to protect itself.

Self-deception, cognitive bias, and even the ability to alter past memories.

The brain is like this, and the spiritual consciousness of cultivators is even more so.

That's why there are Demonic Cultivators!

Could it be that Goldfinger is a proliferation of brain tissue?

I remember I've read about this.

The bursting inspiration in Xia Ming's mind collided back and forth, and after a while, he figured out the cause and effect.

Xia Ming knew that Goldfinger was very powerful, but he didn't want to be controlled by Goldfinger.

If he just ran away and hid, what would be the difference with a Demonic Cultivator?

Living in his own world?

Being a madman?

...

It has to be said that when the brain has a flash of insight, the eyes become bright.

Looking at Xia Ming's "wise" eyes, He Niansheng decisively took out his own Black Jade Book.

"Xia Ming, what do you think this is?"

Under He Niansheng's expectant gaze, Xia Ming said word by word:

"The Great Sun Pill Refining Technique."

"Good, good, good! Xia Ming, my disciple! You're great!"

Excitedly, He Niansheng directly stuffed the Black Jade Book into Xia Ming's arms.

"Xia Ming, today I will help you with Foundation Building, and then teach you the Great Sun Alchemy Technique!"

After saying this, He Niansheng began to prepare various things.

Setting up the Spirit Gathering Formation, the Concentrated Spirit Formation, refining the Peaceful Divine Pill, the Qi Gathering Pill...

The scene from last night made He Niansheng sense a hint of crisis.

He knew that things couldn't be delayed any longer.

Something big might happen in Xizi Cangzhou.

The Bamboo Sword Sect probably has no intention of pursuing him anymore.

This is the best opportunity brought by the immortal!

Watching his busy master, Xia Ming's eyes gradually tightened.

Bitter Wind Grass... Fluorescent Fruit... and the Calming Spell, could it be the Three Medicines and Eighteen Reversals?

Master, master, are you going to take action?

Is my great pill about to mature?

I can even create illusions, my mind must be incredibly wonderful!

Connecting his thoughts to the Cold Soul Sword in his acupoints, Xia Ming madly infused spiritual energy into the Jade Thread Talisman.

"The Jade Thread Talisman can withstand a Core Formation attack. I must seize the opportunity when I strike. No! What if Master has a Jade Thread Talisman?"

"The probability of surviving is less than one in ten thousand! Damn it! Can I only self-destruct the pill furnace?"

"Mutual destruction? Both sides suffer?"

...

"Xia Ming, I will protect you! Today, I will help you break through the first Heavenly Gate and become a Foundation Building cultivator!"

Could it be that the brain of someone at the Foundation Building Stage works better?

Better medicinal effects? Higher maturity?

Although he thought so in his heart, Xia Ming remained humble on the surface.

"Disciple Xia Ming, thank you, Master."

Sitting cross-legged in the center of the formation, Xia Ming tried his best to think of a way to break the deadlock.

In the end, Xia Ming let out a long sigh.

If Master takes action, then both sides will suffer.

Taking the Qi Gathering Pills handed to him by He Niansheng, Xia Ming swallowed them directly.

The spiritual energy rapidly gathered in his lower dantian was directly converted into a Spirit Root diode.

Yes.

He wanted to increase the power of the blast furnace.

[Why isn't the pill furnace a timed bomb?]

Within a quarter of an hour, the Superior Spirit Root, the Well Spring Water, lit up, and the character "Spring" also lit up.

At the moment when the character "Well" lit up, Xia Ming directly embedded the Spirit Root.

Just as Xia Ming endured boundless pain, He Niansheng, who was guarding nearby, fell into a daze.

This... this! How is this possible!

This aura is a Superior Well Spring Water Spirit Root!

Damn it!

Does this kid have two Superior Spirit Roots!

Could it be that the Hidden Spirit Root has evolved again!

...

"Master... the pills..."

Looking at the weakened Xia Ming, He Niansheng didn't hesitate and directly scattered the pills.

He had plenty of pills!

Before the chaos in the Great River, he had taken all those pills with him.

Painkillers, mind stabilizers, aphrodisiacs, all kinds...

Xia Ming began to crazily devour the pills. His body at this moment was like a sponge, greedily absorbing all kinds of nourishment.

Accepting everything without discrimination, he swallowed them all.

In the next hour, He Niansheng witnessed a scene that he would never forget in his life.

The character "River" lit up, and the Heavenly River Water Spirit Root formed. He Niansheng's pupils dilated.

The character "Stream" lit up, and the Great Stream Water Spirit Root formed. He Niansheng's eye twitched.

The character "Flow" lit up, and the Long Flow Water Spirit Root formed. He Niansheng trembled all over.

The character "Ravine" lit up, and the Under Ravine Water Spirit Root formed. He Niansheng slowly closed his eyes.

...

The Hidden Spirit Root is truly a heaven-sent Spirit Root!

My god, I actually saw all six Superior Water Spirit Roots gathered in one person!

A restrained demeanor! Profound Dao! Inconceivable!

As He Niansheng was filled with emotion, Xia Ming also looked at his lower dantian.

At this moment, his lower dantian had undergone a complete transformation. If the previous one was a mud "pill furnace".

The current "pill furnace" had already transformed into bronze. Xia Ming could even feel the metallic luster reflected by his dantian!

Even more dazzling than the dantian were the six large characters at the bottom of the dantian!

Sea, Stream, Spring, River, Ravine, Flow!

Between the shining of these six characters, a mysterious and flowing aura circulated.

At this point, Xia Ming had gathered all the Superior Water Spirit Roots.

If it were to explode...

Could Master withstand it?
