Chapter 855: Leaving
Resurrecting the heroic spirits buried within the cemetery required a series of steps. However, the most crucial one was refining an imperial-grade Dao pill known as the Sanqing Dahua Pill.
The pill formula and refining method were provided by a residual trace of consciousness left behind by Ximen Qianxue. The primary material for the pill was the vast and boundless life force stored within the Mother of All Beasts, which resided in the Blood-Drinking Sword.
It would then be supplemented by a variety of spirit herbs and precious medicinal ingredients. Every single one of these ingredients was an extraordinary treasure, rarely seen even across the entire galaxy. Under normal circumstances, simply gathering the spirit herbs and divine medicines listed in the pill recipe would take decades, centuries, or even millennia. And even then, it wasn’t guaranteed that all of them could be found.
But, ‘coincidentally,’ every required herb and medicine had already been prepared within the herb garden of the thirty-first level of Doushuai Palace. Moreover, after centuries of untamed growth, each herb had matured to the proper age.
It was clear that the great being who had orchestrated this ancient plan had arranged everything from the very beginning. The divine herbs and spirit medicines in the herb garden had evidently been cultivated for this very purpose from the outset.
The task of refining the pill fell upon Little Aunt. The remnant will of Ximen Qianxue had arranged everything in advance. It was evident that she intended to train Little Aunt as the successor of Doushuai Palace.
Li Xiaofei fully supported this decision with both hands and feet. After all, Little Aunt possessed a natural talent in this area. He remembered that while she was still recovering and lying low back on Earth, she had relied solely on mundane herbs to concoct medicinal juices from random bottles and jars. Those had been potent enough to surpass all kinds of high-tech pharmaceutical compounds.
After a moment of hesitation, Little Aunt accepted the heavy responsibility of pill refinement. To her, this was a task that came with tremendous pressure. But it was also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Tan Qingying and Luo Ge temporarily took on the roles of alchemy assistants, carefully supporting her in every step of the process. Li Xiaofei, on the other hand, became the idle one. His attention soon shifted to the massive golden-scaled hide of the Mother of All Beasts.
Although it had been slashed to tatters by the Blood-Drinking Sword, it was still the hide of a top-tier predator from the Reaper faction. It was undoubtedly an exceedingly rare treasure.
Armor crafted from this hide would possess astonishing defensive power. Li Xiaofei gathered all the pieces of the hide without wasting a single scrap. As he watched Little Aunt and the others begin their earnest preparations for pill refining, Li Xiaofei suddenly smacked his forehead.
Shit, I almost forgot something important.
