Gratitude
"Everyone, I am blessed with the great fortune to be able to obtain this Immortal Mansion with my lowly strength. I do not dare to take it alone. There is a herb garden behind the Immortal Mansion. If you need any spiritual herbs, you can take them on your own. If it is not suitable, I will refine a stove of top-grade medicine pellets and share them with you. What do you think?" Xiao Yi said sincerely.
Everyone was overjoyed to hear Xiao Yi's words as soon as they got the magic treasure.
Among them, Chen Yuanyuan was the most excited.
Her face, which had always been cold, suddenly changed when she heard Xiao Yi mention the herb garden. Her eyes were shining, and she couldn't help trembling.
How could Xiao Yi not know the reason for Chen Yuanyuan's excitement? She had lived in the tomb and taken care of her daughter for years. The reason why she went out was undoubtedly in order to find the spiritual herbs for the Nine Yin Extreme Meridian that Xiao Yi mentioned.
Looking at her excited face, Xiao Yi couldn't help walking to her side and asking, "Senior, have you got the spiritual herbs that you need recently?"
Hearing Xiao Yi's question, Chen Yuanyuan's expression became lonely as she shook her head in extreme disappointment. She helplessly said: "I have not stopped searching for spiritual medicines for this period of time. However, as you said, these spiritual medicines are rare in the world. It's a pity that I haven't found anything."
Xiao Yi nodded when he heard this. He comforted her and said, "Senior, please don't be anxious. I have gained something."
"Oh?" Chen Yuanyuan's eyes lit up in an instant. She stared straight at Xiao Yi and asked in surprise, "What did you get?"
"Infinite Grass and Immortal Body!" With a flip of his hand, Xiao Yi took Infinite Grass from the Mu Herb Garden and the Immortal Body he got in the underground of Spirit Spring Village that day. They were presented in front of Chen Yuanyuan.
"Are these the Infinite Grass and Immortal Body?" Chen Yuanyuan's body couldn't help but tremble once again. Her shriveled hands trembled as she took the two elixirs from Xiao Yi's hands and asked.
"Yes, there are only Nine Heavens and Mystic Pearl left before we can treat your daughter. Perhaps there's one inside the garden. Senior, your daughter's illness can definitely be cured." Xiao Yi said in a gentle voice.
Chun Yin also came over, held Chen Yuanyuan's shoulder, and said kindly with a smile, "Yes, Junior Sister, Jiuer's illness must be cured. Xiao Yi is blessed. You're destined to save Jiuer when you meet him."
Chen Yuanyuan closed her eyes tightly and suppressed the excitement in her heart. When she opened her eyes again, she only took a deep look at Xiao Yi and then put the two hard-earned herbs into her arms. She did not say thank you to Xiao Yi.
No words could express her gratitude. In particular, Chen Yuanyuan's hundreds of years of praying and her beloved daughter all fell on Xiao Yi alone. The gratitude could no longer be expressed in words.
Hearing the conversation between Xiao Yi and Chen Yuanyuan, the rest of the people were all confused. However, they also knew that there must be another person Xiao Yi needed to save. The admiration for Xiao Yi in their hearts could not help but deepen a little.
Xiao Yi didn't say anything more. He used his True Energy to attract the crowd. With a thought, he changed his appearance and came to the herb garden of the Immortal Mansion.
This garden was not as big as the Mu Herb Garden, but the spiritual herbs inside were well-preserved and didn't suffer any damage. Thousand-year-old spiritual herbs could be seen everywhere.
The scent of herbs wafted through the air, making one feel as if they were in heaven.
No one had ever seen such a scene before. They widened their eyes.
However, at the same time, no one picked up the spiritual herbs. This was because, in front of such spiritual herbs, everyone sighed at their lack of experience in pill refinement and didn't want to waste them.
Sun Haoran was the first to sit down cross-legged. With his palms facing up, he started meditating and cultivating, along with the abundant spirit energy of the spiritual herbs.
The rest of the people of the Zhengqi Sect followed suit and began to meditate, no longer focusing their attention on the spiritual herbs.
Only Chun Yin took a five-colored spiritual flower with a smile, saying that she wanted to refine a certain kind of pill.
Of course, Xiao Yi was happy. He presented not only the spiritual flower but also the plant. He dug up the roots and gave it to Chun Yin.
Chen Yuanyuan, on the other hand, appeared to be more anxious than anyone else the moment she entered the garden. Her Divine Awareness carefully swept across the entire garden. At the last moment, however, her entire body suddenly trembled. Her body rose from the ground and turned into a shadow that rushed toward the northernmost corner of the garden.
Something came to Xiao Yi's mind. He knew that Chen Yuanyuan must have noticed something, so he followed her.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, he saw a wonderful scene.
At the northern end of the medicinal garden, there was a small Spirit Spring about ten feet in size. The dark blue spring water was like cream and appeared to be in a semi-solid state. In the middle of the spring water was an enormous black stone turtle. It stood with its head held high in the middle of the spring.
The stone turtle seemed to be naturally formed. It had a perfect head and body, and the shell texture on its body was clear. It gave off a sense of vicissitudes.
Less than a foot above the stone turtle's head, there was a snow-white bead the size of a dragon's eye suspended in the air. Between the stone turtle and the bead, streaks of Spiritual Energy were flowing. The whole spring water was covered in a fog, forming a wonderful scene of the spiritual turtle spitting out the bead.
"Mystic Pearl!" Xiao Yi and Chen Yuanyuan exclaimed almost at the same time.
"So this is the Mystic Pearl? It's really a fantasy." Chun Yin had unknowingly arrived at the side of the spring. When she saw this scene, she could not help but marvel at it.
"That's right. There is the Mystic Pearl. Congratulations, Senior, for obtaining another spirit herb you need." Xiao Yi said with a smile, but his heart was also filled with joy.
After listening to Xiao Yi's words, Chen Yuanyuan reluctantly turned her eyes away from the Mystic Pearl and looked at Xiao Yi. She slowly asked, "Xiao Yi, the value of this Mystic Pearl is immeasurable. If I take it away, it will take 10,000 years to appear again. It's simply unreachable. Are you really willing to give it to me like this?"
"Hehe, Senior, the spiritual herbs are born to defend the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth. Naturally, it is decided by the fated ones. Jiuer needs this medicine. Why would I be reluctant to use it? I can only be happy." Xiao Yi said indifferently. There wasn't a hint of reluctance in his tone.
After listening to Xiao Yi's words, Chen Yuanyuan narrowed her eyes, and a smile appeared on her cold face. Without saying anything, she turned to Chun Yin and said, "Senior Sister, what did I say? After all, this child is not simple."
"Haha, that's right. Even though I don't have much contact with Xiao Yi, I can tell that he is different from the rest. You will have limitless achievements in your cultivation in the future." Chun Yin nodded deeply in agreement.
"Then, Senior Sister, can you consider the thing I told you?" Chen Yuanyuan looked at Xiao Yi and asked Chun Yin with a smile.
"Haha, junior sister, don't be anxious. It's too early. We should wait for the lucky chance." Chun Yin laughed, turned around, and left.
Xiao Yi was confuesd. It seemed that it was about him, and he couldn't hear what they were talking about. However, both of them were hermits. Since they didn't want to reveal it, Xiao Yi naturally wouldn't ask. Since Xiao Yi had cultivated to such a high level, he had already gotten rid of his worries about the future, so he naturally wouldn't do anything unnecessary.
Chen Yuanyuan didn't say anything. She carefully wrapped the Mystic Pearl with her True Energy and pulled it little by little out of the spiritual spring's scope. Finally, she caught it.
The bead's tentacles were warm as a surge of spiritual energies seeped straight through her palm and burrowed into her body.
Chen Yuanyuan was reluctant to absorb the Spiritual Energy, so she hurriedly took out the Yu Feiyan box and carefully packed the Mystic Pearl into it for the treatment of Jiuer in the future. It could be seen that the mother's love was so real.
However, after that, they searched the entire herb garden once more, but could not find any traces of Nine Heavens Water. The two of them did not even know what the Nine Heavens Water was. Even the well-informed little Illusory Vine was powerless to do anything about it.
Out of the four types of Spiritual Medicine, only one was missing. Chen Yuanyuan was both gratified and anxious. However, she also knew that it was already a stroke of luck for her to obtain three kinds of rare Spiritual Medicine within a day. She shouldn't be eager for instant benefits. She could not be greedy. She could suppress her anxiety and wait for the lucky chance again.
Xiao Yi looked around the garden. How could Xiao Yi, a grandmaster of alchemy, be happier than these? Moreover, after his inspection, he found a Rejuvenatory Pearls Grass for the Calamity-surviving Pill. Xiao Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed.
However, this herb alone was not enough to refine the Calamity-surviving Pill, so Xiao Yi allowed it to continue to grow in the garden.
Looking back at the people of the Zhengqi Sect, they didn't take any herbs but just sat in meditation to cultivate with the help of spiritual medicine. His good impression of the Zhengqi Sect rose again.
Xiao Yi picked a few Spiritual Herbs, took out seven Spiritual Sword Herbs fruits, and refined a furnace of Taiyi Pure Pill on the spot.
Maybe it was because the garden was full of Spiritual Energy, or perhaps because Xiao Yi was in a good mood, or maybe it was because of the help of the rare herbs. All in all, this time, when Xiao Yi refined Taiyi Pure Pill, he actually performed the best condition that he had ever done before. He actually refined more than 400 pills in one go. Each pill was a Grade Seven or Eight Spiritual Pill, which could be called Top Grade Spiritual Pill.
When the pills were completed, a strange light flickered. The enormous manor was filled with a rich pill fragrance that didn't disappear for a long time.
The people were cultivating. It could be said that they had gotten great benefits again. With the help of the pill fragrance, everyone's cultivation was greatly enhanced in various aspects.
Qiangwei, who had the weakest cultivation, even broke through the realm on the spot and entered into the middle stage of the Qi-refining Realm.
The people of the Zhengqi Sect were overjoyed. They withdrew their cultivation and stood up one after another to thank Xiao Yi. Qiangwei was even more surprised that she couldn't say anything. She just looked at Xiao Yi and was unwilling to turn away.
Xiao Yi calmly waved his hand and only left 100 Taiyi Pure Pills for himself. The rest were all distributed to everyone present.
The top spiritual pills were easily obtained. Everyone felt as though joy had descended from the heavens. Even the prideful Utmost Wolf King was stunned when he saw that Xiao Yi had not only refined this top-grade medicinal pill but he had even handed it over. This generosity caused the Utmost Wolf King to be stunned.
While he was still in shock, Xiao Yi handed a portion of the medicinal pills to him. Utmost Wolf King was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall. Only then did he realize that Xiao Yi had just said, "I won't treat you as a servant but as a fellow Taoist." These words were not false.
The heart of Utmost Wolf King surged. Being a thousand-year-old great demon, one must experience being called a thrashing during one's training. At this moment, Xiao Yi could be treated with sincerity.
Moreover, although both of them cultivated the Way of Heaven, Utmost Wolf King might have the advantage that human cultivators couldn't compare with in terms of the strength of his body. But in terms of refining pills, he was inferior to human beings. Moreover, Xiao Yi was a grandmaster in alchemy.
As soon as the Taiyi Pure Pill came out, Utmost Wolf King knew that he would not lose to him even if he followed Xiao Yi. The grievance in his heart disappeared at once, and his attitude became more respectful.
Xiao Yi also asked Utmost Wolf King, "Do you know the origin of the appearance of this Immortal Mansion? Tell me in detail."
