NFBE Chapter 1748
Chapter 1748
Over the past decade or so, the Spirit Herb Garden, nourished by the Immortal-Rank Spirit Gathering Array and the Breath Soil, has grown lush and verdant to a considerable size.
Even so, Chen Xuan only managed to gather more than ten kinds of rare medicinal materials needed for the Azure Spirit Pill. Among them, the planting scale of the Azure Sea Spirit Flower was still insufficient, with only a few dozen plants growing sparsely in the field, and the spiritual light on the petals was also a bit dimmer than recorded in the classics.
"Looks like we need to step up our cultivation efforts." Chen Xuan muttered to himself, raising his hand to grab at the air above the spirit herb garden.
In an instant, over a hundred acres of medicinal herbs, containing more than ten kinds of herbs, transformed into streams of light and flew into his palm: the Nine-Leaf Scrophularia ningpoensis glowed with a faint purple light, the Purple Lightning Vine was entwined with tiny arcs of electricity, and the Azure Sea Spirit Flower held a crystal-clear dewdrop...
He then sent a telepathic message to the Five Immortals Clan Chief, who was in charge of managing the Spirit Herb Garden, instructing him to increase the planting quantity of the medicinal herbs needed for the Jade Spirit Pill.
After meeting Chen Xuan a few times at the Nine Heavens Xuanqing Palace in the Xuanxiao World, the descendants of the Five Immortals had not seen him in person for decades. At this moment, when they suddenly heard that familiar voice in their sea of consciousness, the clan leaders were immediately shaken.
"puff"
They lay prostrate on the ground, their foreheads pressed tightly against the earth, their voices trembling uncontrollably: "Master, rest assured! We will immediately relay the orders to our clansmen, and we will remember our mission and dare not slacken in the slightest!"
Chen Xuan was not one to keep secrets, so he immediately sent over the list of medicinal materials for the second-grade Golden Elixir, Jade Spirit Elixir, and Heavenly Origin Elixir: "If there are suitable immortal herb seeds in the warehouse, feel free to plant them in large quantities."
"Yes, Master!" The Five Immortal Clan Chiefs held the medicinal herb catalog, their bodies trembling with excitement.
That's a prescription for a miraculous elixir! Even if it's just a list of medicinal ingredients, it's an incredible stroke of luck for them.
They naturally knew that a mere list of medicinal herbs could not produce an elixir of immortality. The selection of the alchemy furnace, the control of the fire, the timing of separating the medicinal liquid, and how to protect the alchemist during the elixir's formation—these were the essence of alchemy, and could not be easily passed on to outsiders.
Even so, they could not hide their elation: it meant that they finally had a place in their master's heart and were no longer dispensable appendages.
In the world of cultivation, what vassal clans fear most is losing their value. If their masters are merciful, they might be given a barren piece of land to fend for themselves, but without the protection of powerful figures, annihilation is only a matter of time.
If you encounter a ruthless master, you will lose your value as a vassal and be easily eliminated.
In the eyes of those high-level immortals, the weak are no different from ants, and they would kill them without even blinking an eye.
Over the years, the Five Immortal Clan Chiefs have devoted themselves to cultivation, meticulously managed their medicinal fields and orchards, and even specially trained outstanding women in their clans to serve their mistress, all in an effort to become useful servants to Chen Xuan.
Today, as their master passed down the list of medicinal herbs and set the planting instructions, their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense for decades, finally settled down – their years of hard work had not been in vain, and the future of their clan finally had a direction.
Under the influence of his divine sense, Chen Xuan took in their tearful appearance and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, as long as I, Chen Xuan, have a bite to eat, I won't let you go hungry."
In his previous life on Earth, these five descendants of immortals followed him without hesitation, and he always remembered this kindness.
"Even through countless reincarnations, we would be willing to repay our master's kindness by serving him as cattle and horses!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Amidst thunderous cheers of gratitude, Chen Xuan smiled slightly and handed all the medicinal herbs in his palm to the small cauldron.
With a joyful cry, the lid clicked open, and a gentle suction force arose from within, drawing all the medicinal herbs inside.
Chen Xuan was slightly taken aback upon seeing this, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Shouldn't we distribute it according to the proportions first?"
These words immediately revealed his complete ignorance of alchemy.
Upon hearing this, the little cauldron's flames shone even brighter as it explained, "Hehe, Master, don't worry! I have plenty of internal space. These medicinal herbs will be stored away for now, and during the refining process, they will be adjusted to the most precise proportions, without the slightest error!"
Chen Xuan chuckled, about to say something more, when he heard Xiao Ding calculate carefully for a moment and say confidently, "Master, roughly speaking, these medicinal herbs should be enough to refine seven batches of Jade Spirit Pills."
The Nanming fire flowing around the cauldron grew increasingly intense, as if it couldn't wait to show its power.
"Very good." Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
