Chapter 194: Chapter 153 Resurrection Pill_2

As the fire burned, with the addition of various herbs, a strange fragrance was released which felt refreshing and invigorating to ordinary people and even more fatally attractive to ghosts. This scent could attract all nearby ghosts.

However, it was still evening, and there was still sunlight. Some underground ghosts that were lured out dissipated quickly under the sunlight.

This was the reason why the initial alchemy process went so smoothly.

But not all ghosts were oblivious. Some of them seemed to possess a certain intelligence, knowing to avoid the sun. They moved forward through the shadows alongside the walls and houses, and it wasn’t long before they had approached near the pill furnace.

"Meng De, how is the situation?" Zhao Ge asked.

Li Yi stood beside the pill furnace at that moment, his eyes bright as he scanned the surroundings. In his sight, there were at least three intelligent ghosts that had quietly approached.

"Many ghosts were attracted by the medicinal fragrance. Most are just ordinary spirits, foolish and naive, acting on instinct and not worth worrying about. Only a few have the intention to steal the medicine, but they were deterred by me and didn’t dare to come close," he said.

"That’s good," Zhao Ge nodded, adding, "I just didn’t expect that there would be so many evil spirits around us on ordinary days. Luckily, there is a divine ghost purge every month; otherwise, the world would really be in chaos. No wonder, since ancient times, dynasties and families have shared the world with ghosts and divine beings."

However, Li Yi remained silent, because the recent incident of the little ghost trying to steal the medicine had alerted him.

If a little ghost still knew to steal and consume the Great Medicine Essence, what then do the thousand-year-old ghosts and spirits of legends feed on?

They surely couldn’t just exist out of thin air.

That would make no sense at all.

From a cultivator’s perspective, any powerful entity needs ’food’ to sustain their existence.

Martial Artists feed on Qi-Blood, consuming Qi Blood Pills, supplements, and meat on a regular basis.

Cultivators consume Cosmic Energy, with various nutritious meats to supplement it. The stronger the evolver, the more Cosmic Energy they consume daily. If their supplementation can’t keep up with their consumption, then the evolver would stop evolving or even devolve.

But now was not the time to think about that.

As the alchemy continued, the fragrance of the medicine became stronger. Finally, unable to contain its greedy appetite, a ghost rushed towards the direction of the pill furnace.

Li Yi didn’t bother speaking. He stepped forward, once again mustering the Cosmic Energy in his body, channeling it into his arm.

With a punch thrown, a halo burst forth.

The ghost was immediately shattered on the spot by his strike and then dissipated into the cosmos.

"With my current level of Guiding Skill, dealing with these ordinary ghosts is still very easy. I just don’t know if it would be effective against stronger ghosts," Li Yi thought to himself.

He guarded the pill furnace while eliminating ghosts.

In such circumstances, the process of making medicine was very smooth. In less than two hours, and with all the medicinal fragrance gone, the excited old pharmacist exclaimed, "Everyone, the Resurrection Pill has been created, all the Great Medicine Essence is combined perfectly, not leaking or wasting, the elixir is a great success."

After saying that, he excitedly opened the pill furnace and took out several pills the size of fingernails.

The pills were emerald green, with various unique patterns on them. Upon counting, there were exactly ten.

"Is this the Resurrection Pill?" Li Yi glanced at it and asked, "Master, what else can this thing do besides heal the injuries of the Divine Soul?"

"It can cure the condition of a dislocated soul and also condition the body. Common people who take it will have keen hearing and clear sight, be full of energy, and even strengthen their spirit. I’ve heard it helps cultivators who are refining God as well, though I don’t know if that’s true," the old pharmacist said. "Anyway, the Resurrection Pill is a very precious elixir. It contains three types of precious medicines alone, and even more expensive auxiliary medicines—dozens of them. An ordinary martial arts hall would be bankrupt just by producing one batch of these pills."

"Master Zhao, you should take the medicine quickly. Your Divine Soul injury will probably require at least two Resurrection Pills to heal. You shouldn’t delay," the old pharmacist urged.

"Alright." Zhao Ge immediately came over, picked up a Resurrection Pill, and swallowed it on the spot.

As soon as the pill settled in his stomach, it dissolved instantly, then condensed into a formless vital essence, rushing straight to his forehead. In an instant, he felt much more spirited, and many of the sluggish Qi-Blood in his body began to recover.

With just one pill, Zhao Ge’s Divine Soul injuries were mostly healed.

Seeing its remarkable effects, Zhao Ge swallowed a second pill.

When the second Resurrection Pill settled in his stomach, along with the second surge of Great Medicine Essence washing over his brain, he felt no longer muddled. His eyes immediately brightened, becoming very spirited, and all the Qi-Blood inside his body began to circulate. His overall condition visibly improved at a speed detectable by the naked eye.

Even Zhao Ge’s head full of white hair began to turn black at this time.

"Not bad, I can feel that my head is no longer heavy, my spirit is no longer weak, and all the sluggish Qi-Blood inside my body has started to move away. I just need to sleep one more night, and I will fully recover," Zhao Ge said contently.

After all the turmoil and so many experiences, he finally restored himself to his peak condition.

"Is this medicine really so miraculous? I want to try it too, right, master, it’s okay if I take it, right?" Li Yi curiously asked, while holding a pill.

"No problem, it cures diseases if there are illnesses and strengthens the body if there are not. It is the essence of the elixir, immensely nourishing," the old pharmacist said with a smile.

Although it is wasteful for an ordinary person to consume it, the Resurrection Pills belonged to Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall, and Li Yi, as the senior brother of Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall, would be justified even if he ate all the remaining pills.

With a mindset bent on research, Li Yi swallowed a Resurrection Pill.

Rather than calling it a pill, it might be better to say it was vital essence wrapped in a medicinal shell. After swallowing, the pill shattered, sending a breath rushing to his head.

However, this breath was quickly captured by the little figure in Li Yi’s world of consciousness, gathering all within it.

The small figure in his consciousness seemed to have received a tonic, growing slightly bigger, while Li Yi’s consciousness itself seemed to have been refined, becoming stronger than usual.

"Brother Yi, your eyes..." at that moment, Zhao Xi urgently said.

"What’s wrong with my eyes?" Li Yi asked immediately.

At the side, Rong Niang said, "Senior brother, your eyes are glowing, they seem brighter than usual, I don’t know if I am seeing things."

"My eyes are brighter? Is there such a change?" Li Yi was slightly moved.

He could feel that the Resurrection Pill was very helpful to him, enormously so. With just one pill, his spirit seemed to have undergone a transformation, and he also felt that using the Guiding Skill had become easier and more effortless than before.

As his master, Zhao Ge also noticed this and squinting his eyes, he said, "Meng De, master’s injuries have healed, and the Resurrection Pills are no longer useful to me. Take the remaining pills and consume them. Also... Master Shen, have your pharmacist continue to produce the third batch. After today, please trouble Master Shen to help me purchase the materials for the Resurrection Pill again. If the materials are complete, help me produce a few more batches of the Resurrection Pill. The expenses incurred will be fully covered by Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall."

The apprentices might not understand, but with his seasoned experience, he immediately saw that the Resurrection Pill seemed to enhance Li Yi’s innate divine abilities.

That alone was enough.
