The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 713 - 401: Past Story (Extra)
"I..." This old man really was a latecomer to understanding. She chuckled twice, and still resorted to the old method, commanding Meat Ball to extend a vine from the sleeve.
Xu Nongyou stared at her blankly, as if a flower had suddenly bloomed on her face, and then he stomped his foot and said, "Ah! You, so young, why have you joined the Hidden Stream? Here in Demon Mountain, they allow entrance but not exit; every demon who enters must spend the rest of their life here! We Pill Masters should walk the world, broaden our horizons, how can we be confined to one corner? You silly child, it’s such a shame, such a shame indeed!" His regret overflowed in his words, and he was sincerely sincere.
Ning Xiaoxian felt both amused and helpless and couldn’t explain, so she could only mumble silently, feeling quite moved in her heart and even more determined to recruit him to serve under Changtian one day.
Xu Nongyou was lost in thought for a while, then suddenly remembered Ning Xiaoxian’s request and said, "That’s easy to handle, tomorrow I’ll take you to see the Dragon Elephant Fruit. Your alchemy skills are also extraordinary; those fellows in the Immortal Plant Garden would hate to push you out the door! It’s settled then, remember to give me the Elixir recipe tomorrow." Having said this, he hastily stood up to leave.
"Hey, don’t rush off, I haven’t finished setting my conditions yet." Unfortunately, he had only just taken a step when Ning Xiaoxian’s voice came from behind, her tone half-amused as she asked him to stay.
This little monster, young but not lacking in shrewdness at all. After all, she was a figure who had lived for nearly a thousand years, Xu Nongyou had thick skin from experience, so he could only clear his throat and turn back to wait.
"I also hope that after you look at the Elixir recipe, you can make improvements to it," Ning Xiaoxian said earnestly, "I’ve made one improvement, which only reduced the side effects from decreasing twenty years of life span to fifteen years. You are an expert in this field, you might achieve more remarkable results." She straightforwardly took credit for Changtian’s achievements and then copied the prescription and handed it to the old man in front of her. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Xu Nongyou heaved a sigh of relief: "Of course, borrowing the Elixir recipe means contemplating it." He took the prescription, his eyes shining, "Tsk tsk, so these are the ingredients, not bad, not bad; the person who researched this recipe is truly an expert, the dosage is sparse, but the effect is so domineering, truly the work of an expert, an expert!" He left while flip through the recipe as if possessed, and unexpectedly did not even bid her farewell, which was quite rude.
Ning Xiaoxian smiled slighty, and began to put away the teaware by herself. Only those who work hard reap the rewards. Without obsession, how could Xu Nongyou achieve such success in the Alchemy Dao?
Speaking of the seeds of the Dragon Elephant Fruit, and seeing no one around, she frowned and asked Changtian, "What is Yin Jiu You up to? Leveraging Mengpo Soup to bargain with Qingluan for the seeds of the Dragon Elephant Fruit and the secret cultivation technique?" Yin Jiu You was a Soul Cultivator, not needing a physical body, why would he want these strength-enhancing fruits?
She waited for quite a while, God Demon Prison was silent, until she was about to speak up with prompting, she then heard Changtian’s voice faintly reply, "Tu Jin this time gained Yin Jiu You’s memories, only then understanding many secrets. This person has many schemes, and while his True Body has been trapped in Guangcheng Palace for ten thousand years, his several avatars have never ceased their actions. Among them, four avatars have controlled thirty-six Demon Sects and twelve Human Immortal Sects in the North."
She exclaimed, "The North! Could it be... within the Northern Sects battling Fengtian Prefecture, there are Yin Jiu You’s forces?"
"Exactly." Changtian said coldly, "The Northern part of the Southern Continent has always been tumultuous, and now it’s in a state of decay. After gaining Yin Jiu You’s memories, we understand that he is the instigator of this situation. Soul Cultivators must advance by devouring souls, as you know, under what circumstances do people die in the greatest numbers and most righteously?"
She felt choked up, and it took a while before she managed to croak, "War! And it’s war among Cultivators... The soul power of Cultivators is much greater than that of ordinary Humans, at least a thousandfold."
"Exactly. He wants war, the more who die, the better. After Tu Jin gained the memories, he also figured out why Yin Jiu You covets the Dragon Elephant Fruit. Within the Demon Sects under his control, there are several large Sects that have bred a large number of War Beasts." He saw Ning Xiaoxian’s puzzled expression and continued, "The so-called War Beasts are actually the bestial kin of demons. Creatures like the Bear and the giant elephant are exceptional in terms of reproductive ability among the Demon Clan. When the mother gives birth, there’s a high chance of having twins, one a demon, one a pure Beast form; we call the latter ’ancestral return.’ Such twins, after being trained, can join battle together due to their blood connection and telepathy, making them flexible and extremely brave in combat."
