Chapter 100: Moonlight Clear Spirit Pill
“Just a little understanding.” Xu Zhengyang spoke humbly.
“……”
Xing Yong was dumbstruck when he heard this, unable to say a single word for quite some time.
The little junior brother before his eyes could actually surpass his expectations again and again, bringing him unexpected surprises…
Xu Zhengyang, seeing this, smiled and took out two portions of medicinal liquid that could be used to cultivate the Piercing-Delusion Golden Eyes Divine Ability, and handed them to Xing Yong.
At the same time, he said, “Senior Brother has helped me so much before. Take this medicinal liquid.
One more method.
One more hidden card when facing an enemy.”
“Good, good, good!”
Xing Yong laughed heartily when he heard this, immediately accepting the medicinal liquid from Xu Zhengyang’s hand. He said, “Since this is Junior Brother’s goodwill, then I shall not decline.”
As he spoke.
Xing Yong asked Xu Zhengyang again, “And what about the extra portion of medicinal liquid?”
Xu Zhengyang replied directly, “Please trouble Senior Brother to pass it on to Master for me. I still have things to do, so I’ll return to the Twilight Shadow Pavilion first.”
“Alright.” Xing Yong agreed.
……

After bidding farewell to Xing Yong.
Xu Zhengyang immediately urged his Martial Dao true qi, and the Azure Sky Crane Feather unfolded behind his back, carrying him back to the Twilight Shadow Pavilion.
Xu Zhengyang had just flown above the Twilight Shadow Pavilion when he saw Yang Hong, riding a Paper Crane Talisman that wobbled clumsily, about to descend.
“Senior Brother Xu!”
Seeing Xu Zhengyang in midair, Yang Hong waved excitedly, saying, “I was just about to look for you!”
Xu Zhengyang landed beside Yang Hong and said, “What is it?”
Yang Hong cast a look full of envy at the Azure Sky Crane Feather behind Xu Zhengyang, then asked, “Senior Brother Xu, are you about to reach the Bone Cleansing Realm?”
After refining that drop of Flood Dragon Blood Essence not long ago, Xu Zhengyang’s Martial Dao cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds.
According to the cultivation progress bar displayed on the Health Manager—
At most, one month.
Xu Zhengyang would be able to completely refine that drop of Flood Dragon Blood Essence and smoothly enter the Bone Cleansing Realm!
“Soon.”
Xu Zhengyang replied truthfully while inviting Yang Hong inside.
……
A moment later.
At the pavilion above the pond in the back courtyard of the Twilight Shadow Pavilion, Yang Hong grinned and said to Xu Zhengyang, “Once Martial Dao cultivation reaches the Bone Cleansing Realm, new blood will be born from the marrow!
When this new blood fully replaces the old blood.
The blood will sink heavy like lead and mercury, the qi will condense firm like mountains, and Martial Dao true qi can even extend more than a full zhang outside the body, able to split rocks and cleave metal!”
Xu Zhengyang, while pouring tea for Yang Hong, said, “I already know this.
Uncle-Master Chen’s annotations on the Mysterious Mechanism Art had these recorded.”
Hearing this, Yang Hong glanced around, then lowered his voice, saying to Xu Zhengyang, “Master actually has another secret!”
“Oh?”
Xu Zhengyang asked curiously, “I am willing to hear the details.”
“When mortals are born, they cannot escape the cycle of the Five Grains, and so their bodies inevitably absorb turbid qi.
Although Martial Dao can help body-cultivators return to the innate state, the accumulated filth and turbid qi have already seeped deep into the marrow orifices over the years and are hard to eradicate!
Because of this—
If a body-cultivator wants to temper the body to flawlessness and fully develop their Martial Dao potential, only great medicines can cleanse it all away!”
“To temper the body to flawlessness?”
Hearing this, Xu Zhengyang’s heart stirred.
According to the guidance of Sect Master, Master Xuan Yin—
If he wanted to achieve Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, he had to condense Divine Sense, refine Spiritual Energy, and refine the flesh.
Xu Zhengyang had already condensed Divine Sense earlier with the help of the Thousand-Year Bodhi Fruit.
As for refining Spiritual Energy, he had the Three-Turn Condensing Essence Pill bestowed by Master Xuan Yin. He only needed to cultivate step by step, and finally consume the pill to compress the Spiritual Energy until the dantian and meridians were filled.
Now, the final stage of refining the flesh—Xu Zhengyang did not yet know how to proceed, but Yang Hong had come right to his door to clear his doubts!
Because of this—
Xu Zhengyang immediately said, “Then what pill can dissolve the turbid qi hidden deep within a cultivator’s body?”
Yang Hong did not beat around the bush. He said at once, “When my Master explored an ancient cultivator’s ruins twenty years ago, he obtained the pill formula for the Moonlight Clear Spirit Pill.
This pill can exactly dispel the acquired turbid qi hidden deep within a body-cultivator’s orifices!
But to refine this pill—
Not only must enough moonlight essence be collected, but also a main ingredient that has already been extinct in the cultivation world for hundreds of years—Heart-Purity Orchid!
My Master has searched for the Heart-Purity Orchid for many years, and he finally has some clues now.”
Xu Zhengyang asked curiously, “Where did Uncle-Master Chen find the Heart-Purity Orchid?”
Yang Hong answered without concealing, “Not long ago, my Master discovered a spatial fragment seven hundred li west of the Floating Mist Mountains.
This fragment seems to be the herb garden of an ancient sect!
According to Master’s preliminary investigation, there are quite a few ancient spirit herbs cultivated inside that garden, among them the Heart-Purity Orchid, which has long vanished from the cultivation world!”
At this point.
Yang Hong paused briefly, then continued, “However, that spatial fragment is already on the verge of collapse.
If a Tier 2 cultivator forcibly enters—
The fragment will immediately shatter, and all the spirit herbs inside the garden will turn to dust with it.”
Since a Tier 2 cultivator could not enter, Chen Qiang also dared not let Yang Hong go in alone.
Xu Zhengyang thought of this, and his heart stirred. He asked, “So, is there danger inside that herb garden?”
“As expected of Senior Brother Xu, I haven’t even said it yet and you already guessed it!”
Yang Hong looked impressed, then said, “Inside the herb garden, there is an Iron-Arm Ape at the peak of Tier 1.
According to my Master’s probing—
That beast is extremely cunning. Not only can it tend the herb garden, it even has a staff-type magical artifact forged from Dragon-Scale Blacksteel as protection!
If it were just me alone—
I might not be able to defeat that beast. That’s why Master told me to come ask for your help.
If Senior Brother Xu is willing to go with me to harvest the herb—
After the matter is done—
My Master will give you a Moonlight Clear Spirit Pill, helping you temper your flesh to flawlessness!”
Xu Zhengyang agreed without hesitation, “No problem, I can depart at any time!”
“That’s the best!”
Yang Hong said with a grin, “According to the pattern summarized by my Master, every time a full moon rises—
That spatial fragment will be drawn out by the power of the moonlight and reveal itself.
There are still eight days until the next full moon.
My Master plans to depart in three days. By then I will send you a message talisman—just come directly to the Mysterious Mechanism Peak!”
“I understand.”
Xu Zhengyang nodded.
Then he took out a portion of medicinal liquid used for cultivating the Piercing-Delusion Golden Eyes Divine Ability and handed it to Yang Hong, saying, “This is the medicinal liquid required for that Divine Ability. I happen to have a few extra.
I can give you the liquid, but as for the method of refining it…
That can only be obtained from Elder Liu through Uncle-Master Chen himself.
After all, this Divine Ability cultivation method was my little junior sister’s gift to Master upon becoming his disciple. Though Master passed this ability to me, I cannot pass it to others.”
At the end of his words, Xu Zhengyang showed an apologetic expression.
But by this time, Yang Hong’s attention was completely captured by the medicinal liquid in Xu Zhengyang’s hand. He hurriedly nodded and said, “I understand, I understand!”
Then.
Yang Hong chuckled and whispered to Xu Zhengyang, “Before setting off, my Master specially taught me to say exactly this.
He said that if I said this to you, you would definitely hand me the medicinal liquid.”
