Divine Brilliance

Once Li Yunniang left with Xuanyuan Yiren in a very elegant manner, Zong Shou only felt his head swell up and generate a huge headache.

He didn’t put Li Yunniang words to heart.

What he was worrying about was this marriage. Even when he proposed annulling it, he was still unable to do so.

What reading her name backwards is benevolence and righteousness, this Xuanyuan Yiren had a weird personality!

While his father was here, she kept grumbling about annulling the marriage. Now that his future was dim and he was in a dangerous situation, she instead decided to come over to his side.

Looking at the situation, it seemed like she was determined to follow him. Was there something wrong with this girl’s brains?

A direct disciple of Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect? Why did it sound so annoying when he heard that?

What a coincidence, he remembered not long ago he had thought about this sect when he thought about their lightning technique. Just as he returned to the city, he had now formed a bad relationship with this large sect famous for lightning element spiritual techniques.

When she regained her senses, Chuxue, who was standing beside him, was so furious that she was trembling and gritting her teeth, her face tight.

Yin Yang’s eyes looked really uncertain and after a long while he said disdainfully, “I have long heard that Xuan Mountain City Lord Xuanyuan Tong was a righteous person whose words were worth their weight in gold. It seems like that isn’t true.”

When he spoke, Yin Yang didn’t bother to hide his words or speak softly. In the back courtyard, Li Yunniang, who was not far away, was furious. But she kept silent and didn’t react.

A cold scoff spread over. “Since all of you dare to say such words in the heat of the moment and act so recklessly, if something bad happens in the future, don’t blame me, either….”

Zong Shou originally burst out laughing, but when he heard the second sentence his face turned dark and was really cold. He didn’t care about this marriage, what he hated the most was being threatened by others.

Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect? Zong Shou laughed coldly to himself, shaking his head in disdain. Seeing Yin Yang’s anger not receding, he directly asked, “Uncle Yin, have you bought the items I told you to prepare?”

Yin Yang’s attention was pried away. After being startled by the shift, he said respectfully, “The medicine cauldron that the Prince requested was easy to get and was bought a few days ago. However, that silver charcoal is in low quantities in the market, I was only able to gather them all half a day ago. They are all placed in the Young Master’s room.”

Zong Shou nodded slightly, a happy look appearing on his face. This marriage matter could be temporarily set down, and there wasn’t a rush to deal with it.

The most important thing now was to refine that pill out sooner to settle his Dual Meridian Body and recover the strength of his last life.

He then thought back to the Spiritual Artifact, hesitating slightly before opening up, “Uncle Yin, it is best if you could help me find a Spiritual Weapon within ten days. No matter what type is it, just buy it. If you can’t find one, you can select high Grade talisman weapons instead, best if they had lightning talismans…”

Yin Yang was startled. Spiritual Weapons were things that only Out of Body Realm spirit masters and Xiantian Masters could use.

It seemed too early for the Young Master to use this item. Such a treasure was valuable. In Cloud Saint City, there would be probably less than ten!

As for lightning element talisman weapons, those were easy to find. However, the Sky Fox Zong Family’s bloodline was good at illusion arts, wasn’t it better to purchase water element weapons?

He was about to ask, but Zong Shou had already swiftly walked towards the back courtyard.

——-

That Xuanyuan Yiren and Li Yunniang had moved into the courtyard with no sense of politeness. The place the former chose was beside Zong Shou’s room, saying that it was convenient for her to protect him. However, after choosing their rooms the two of them left, who knows where they went to.

Zong Shou was speechless towards that woman and decided not to bother about her, directly entering his room, moving to start refining pills.

First he used beast crystals and spirit ink to form up a spiritual energy gathering formation, placing the cauldron that Yin Yang bought into the center of it.

He had learned the spiritual energy gathering formation was good for martial cultivation, which was why Zong Shou had researched so deeply into it.

In his last life he didn’t have a teacher, and be it martial cultivation or talisman and formations, he had learned them from books.

Before coming to this era, he wasn’t bound to those books and had internalized the talisman legacies of many different worlds. His knowledge was mostly related to martial cultivation and his standards on other aspects were a mess, such as driving out evil from before, which he knew nothing about.

The current talisman pattern he was drawing was totally different from the mainstream in the Cloud World. The moment it was laid out the spiritual energy in the area increased threefold. The center area, where the furnace was, was the thickest.

When Zong Shou sat in front of the furnace, he was timid and filled with trepidation.

He had learn some parts of pill making in his last life in the game world ,and could be said to be his sub class. However, he didn’t have many achievements in this area.

After all, one had limited time and energy and couldn’t spread it out on too many fields.

After all, the game world was just a game and no matter how real they made it, there would still be a difference from real life.

“Forget it. Though I have never eaten pork, I have seen pigs running. Anyways, I have prepared so much silver charcoal and meridian spirit grass, I can afford to fail several times. Anyways, this pill refining is relatively simple and if I can’t find any reliable people in the future to help me refine pills, I will have to personally refine those famous recipes of the future. I have to put in some hard work for this pill refining technique…”

Calming down, Zong Shou grit his teeth before he started to move into action.

The furnace in front of him was the most normal one. It was made out of cast iron, mixing in some tungsten. There were some runes drawn onto it, so it could barely be considered a talisman artifact.

It was good, as it was easily controlled and when one was pill refining, one didn’t need to regulate it. That silver charcoal, as its name suggested, was a black charcoal with threads of silver within.

Not only did it give off a really high heat when it was burned, there wasn’t any smoke released and the firecould last a long time. Not only was it suitable for refining weapons, it was also a basic item in refining pills.

Its production amount was really small, and legend had it that out of five thousand kilograms of charcoal there was only four-five kilograms of it, which was why it was really valuable and worth a lot of gold.

Zong Shou carefully selected around two kilograms of silver charcoal and placed it into the furnace. Although it looked like a small amount, it could burn for half a day.

Spreading them coals out evenly, he ignited them and started to warm up the furnace. Only then did Zong Shou begin to fiddle with the herbs and meridian spirit grass, adding in over ten support herbs. He crushed all of them, making them into a paste he threw into the furnace.

He performed some hand signs, and held one of the them to control the spiritual energy and use his soul talisman techniques swirl the medicinal liquid within the furnace. Similar to a chef was making dishes, the chef cooked the food, while he was cooking the pill.

Occasionally he had to change talismans to either increase or reduce the temperature of the flame. Pill refining was simple, as long as one knew the pill formula, it was really easily to get together all the required materials, especially in the future, where one could be precise and spot on.

The hardest part was the control of the fire.

There were specified times that he needed to raise and decrease the temperature. The spiritual energy couldn’t be thick throughout the process, and it also needed to be regulated.

It would all depend on the experience of the pill maker. No matter who the high Grade pill refiner was, they had been through hundreds and thousands of failures,wasting massive amounts of medicinal herbs and materials to train themselves up, which was why they were more precious than those blacksmiths. Each pill refiner was heavily recruited by the big sects and aristocratic families.

This was the aspect which Zong Shou was most lacking in. He himself didn’t have a teacher he could learn from. Apart from the bit of experience he had in his last life within the game, he was a blank sheet of paper and could only slowly fumble around.
