Chapter 474: Detoxification Pill
Chapter 474: Detoxification Pill
The plump bird suddenly froze, its head hanging low as it spotted the jade lock that had mysteriously appeared around its neck. It let out a squawk of protest directed at Lu Chen.
"All you think about is sneaking off to meet wild men. I'm confining you today to prevent your daily trysts with that green-haired fellow." Lu Chen replied with a raised eyebrow and a playful smile.
"Cheep! Cheep!" The plump bird let out two pitiful chirps, seemingly complaining to Lu Chen, "It's not fair to blame me when you don't have a female cultivator yourself!"
Lu Chen was stunned, feeling as if he had just taken ten thousand points of damage. Even the Xuan Sword sheath at his waist seemed to vibrate in agreement.
"Now that you have so many flying swords, are you planning to start a harem and forget your roots?" Lu Chen grabbed the ancient sword sheath and stuffed several Xingyun Swords into its opening. "One of these days, I'll find some rusty, corrupted flying swords to really clog you up." He threatened before turning to walk back into the house.
The effectiveness of the fourth-grade Cleansing Jade Lock left him quite satisfied. The Wind Falcon, now a third-grade demon beast, was completely immobilized by the jade lock's surprise attack, unable to move a muscle. If it had been facing a malevolent spirit, the effect would have been even more pronounced.
Three more days passed in the blink of an eye, and six of the ten Jade Dew fruits had fully ripened.
"Harvest days are always so mundane and boring," Lu Chen mused as he nimbly plucked the six ripe spirit fruits, placing them in a jade box that would slow the loss of their spiritual essence, and then into his storage bag.
He would wait until all the fruits were mature before turning them in at the Dan Hall.
Six translucent orbs of light quietly appeared, shimmering amidst the branches and leaves.
A smile tugged at Lu Chen's lips as he gently touched the surface of one of the orbs.
The orb silently shattered, transforming into countless tiny specks of light that disappeared into his body.
[Harvesting a third-grade Jade Dew Fruit, you obtain a fourth-grade spirit brew, the Jade Washing Spirit Dew.]
2Two lustrous orbs of liquid, crystalline like jade, condensed in Lu Chen's palm.
From the third orb, countless motes of light converged to form the shadow of a pill, which then merged into Lu Chen's body.
A thought flashed through his mind.
[Harvesting a third-grade Jade Dew Fruit, you obtain a fourth-grade pill, the Detoxification Pill.]
A clear and translucent pill appeared in his hand.
The pill exuded a pure and ethereal aura. With a gentle sniff, the murky energies lurking deep within his body dissipated like smoke in the wind, leaving his sea of consciousness clear and his entire being feeling lighter.
Lu Chen focused his attention on the pill, and instantly, detailed information about it appeared in his mind.
[Detoxification Pill, a fourth-grade pill, is refined from various spirit herbs capable of dispelling malevolent energies and purifying turbid substances. Upon ingestion, it can purge foreign energies that threaten the physical body. It can directly eliminate the corrupting spiritual energies of bizarre and abnormal malevolent entities, and significantly reduce the harm caused by their baleful influence.]
"A pill that can dispel malevolent energies is of great use to Foundation Establishment cultivators," Lu Chen thought to himself. "Especially for those cultivators who frequently explore mysterious domains and come into contact with malevolent beings. Even with caution and preparedness, there's still a chance of being invaded by their strange and secretive energies. With the Detoxification Pill, such situations can be largely avoided."
He now possessed a variety of treasures: the Earthfire Heart Lotus Seed, the Cloud Mountain Jade Ritual, the Jade Washing Spirit Dew he had just obtained from the Jade Dew Fruit, and now the fourth-grade Detoxification Pill.
Although he might not have much use for them himself, selling them to other cultivators was a viable option.
Lu Chen carefully put away the Detoxification Pill and continued to open the orbs of light, eager to discover more treasures within.
Countless motes of light flowed into Lu Chen's body, and a thought flashed through his mind.
[Harvesting a third-grade Yu Lu Fruit, you obtain the recipe for the fourth-grade spirit brew, Jade Washing Spirit Dew.]
As the thought crossed his mind, a vast amount of information appeared out of thin air in Lu Chen's sea of consciousness.
The Jade Washing Spirit Dew is made mainly from Yu Lu Fruits, supplemented by other varieties of spirit fruits and special attribute spirit liquids. As long as there are sufficient materials, the difficulty of creating it isn't too high.
"With more spirit brew experience packages, I should become more skilled at creating spirit brews, and their effects should improve as well."
Lu Chen sighed as he gazed at the remaining thirty-plus Yu Lu Fruits that were about to mature, as if he could already see dozens of orbs hanging amidst the spirit plants, waiting for him to harvest them.
Filled with the joy of his harvest, he connected with his spirit fields and meticulously inspected the detailed status of all his spirit plants, tending to the subtle needs of each one.
Right as he was busy tending to his spirit fields, Huo Lin'er arrived at his cave abode.
"Brother Lu, are you tending to your flowers and plants in your spirit fields again?"
Huo Lin'er, who had just returned from Black Devil Abyss, seemed to be in a good mood as he smiled and spoke to Lu Chen.
"I can't help it. I've always loved them."
"Including the spirit plants in my spirit fields, they are my entire net worth. I also rely on them to exchange for spirit stones and buy pills to improve my cultivation."
Lu Chen wiped the fine beads of sweat that had somehow appeared on his forehead and invited Huo Lin'er into the small courtyard.
"Brother Huo, have you finished exploring that large secret realm in the Black Devil Abyss?"
He served a cup of spirit tea to Huo Lin'er.
"It's still very early. We're close to the center of the secret realm, but the deeper we go, the more mysterious restrictions we encounter, and we've even come across powerful evil spirits comparable to Core Formation cultivators. A few of us plan to return and rest up before venturing further into the heart of the secret realm."
"Aren't you afraid that someone from another sect will get there first?"
"It's difficult to break those restrictions in a short time, so we're not too worried about that."
"However, Brother Lu, are you really not willing to join me on this trip to the secret realm? With me and the other brothers protecting you, you'll definitely be safe."
Huo Lin'er took a gentle sip of the hot tea and asked again.
"Thank you for your kind offer, Brother Huo. But I'm the type of person who prefers to stay in the sect, taking care of these spirit plants that have received all my heart and soul. So, I must apologize and decline."
Lu Chen politely refused. Going to the secret realm entailed the risk of injury or even losing his life for some slim chance at obtaining treasures and resources. Staying in the sect, peacefully harvesting orbs, and obtaining various rare treasures—he knew very well which option was better.
"That's a pity. We've only ventured to the relatively inner regions of the secret realm, and we've already found some pretty good treasures. This strange flying sword, for example, came from there."
Huo Lin'er brandished a bone sword made from the remains of some unknown demonic beast.
"We also found many third and fourth-grade spirit herbs, spirit minerals, and other cultivation resources, which should be worth tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones."
"Congratulations, Brother Huo, on obtaining so many opportunities. Unfortunately, I don't have such good fortune. I can only honestly stay in the sect and cultivate my spirit plants."
A hint of envy flashed in Lu Chen's eyes.
"By the way, I also collected some orbs and obtained minor treasures like the Jade Washing Spirit Dew, Qing Wei Yu Su, and Di Chen Dan."
He added silently in his heart.
