Chapter 358: Chapter 143: Spirit Transformation Pill Complete, Advancing to Energy Transformation

Xia Tao Village was far from Xiantao Village, and its location was quite remote.

As soon as Wu Hong returned with the medicines, Wu Zhong did not even let him enter the house but sent him directly to an empty room in Xia Tao Village.

Later, when Doctor Bai heard about it, he also brought out the pill furnace that he had sealed up.

It was known that Doctor Bai had been taught by a master, a very famous Life-stealing Doctor named An Desheng.

A true miracle doctor, An had once been the Imperial Physician for the Prince Mansion, mastering the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles which were so exquisite that they could snatch life from King Yan without the need for medication, just acupuncture. Hence, he was called the Life-stealing Doctor.

An Desheng was said to be a descendant of An Daoquan, a famous divine physician from the earlier Song dynasty.

Doctor Bai, however, was considered one of An’s less gifted disciples and had only been taught pharmacology, not the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles.

Yet still, Doctor Bai was renowned in Mianshui as a physician and was called one of the Inner Hall Eight Doctors by the Fishing Guild. He was especially skilled in pharmacology and possessed excellent alchemy techniques.

Chen Jie, bringing a trove of treasures, arrived at Xia Tao Village and found Wu Hong and Doctor Bai.

”Jiu Si!”

Seeing Chen Jie, both Wu Hong and Doctor Bai were delighted. Wu Hong said, ”Jiu Si, you go in first; I’ll check if there’s anyone tailing us.”

Saying this, he stepped out, while Chen Jie entered the house. Doctor Bai, looking at his disheveled appearance, said, ”Jiu Si, are you all right?”

Chen Jie replied, ”It’s nothing serious; just superficial wounds.”

Doctor Bai said, ”Let me have a look.”

He checked Chen Jie’s wounds, then exclaimed, ”Huh—how is this wound healing so quickly? It’s almost healed!”

Doctor Bai observed a deep cut on Chen Jie’s left arm, inflicted by a wolf, but it had almost healed, leaving just a faint scar. If it were on a regular person, it could have been deadly.

Chen Jie also took a glance and thought to himself that this was all the effect of the Tai Sui Pill.

Just then, Wu Hong came back and said to Chen Jie, ”No tail.”

Chen Jie replied, ”I had already checked; there shouldn’t be any. Anyone who could follow me without being detected would have to be at least at the Iron Bone Realm.”

Wu Hong said, ”Hmm, by the way, Jiu Si, I brought back the medicinal ingredients you asked for, and, oh, Yunjin sent you a letter.”

Chen Jie said, ”Thank you, Brother Hong.”

Wu Hong replied, ”No need for thanks between brothers.”

He then suggested, ”Have a look at the letter Yunjin sent you. I’m telling you, that Ghost Talisman stuff you do, only Yunjin can recognize it. I looked at it and it just went over my head, whatever it is.”

Chen Jie chuckled, ”That’s our little secret between husband and wife.”

Saying that, Chen Jie started to read the letter.

[Husband, receiving your letter is like seeing you in person.]

[Don’t worry about home while you’re away, everything here is fine. Sister Hua has been really caring, Xiao Hu and the others who were injured have also been rescued. Xiao Hu has been clamoring to go find you, but I stopped him!]

[Ruirui also misses you a lot, asking every day when her brother-in-law will return. She’s been so upset she hasn’t been eating well the past few days.]

[But she’s very sensible and knows you’re not at home, she’s been studying hard these past few days and insists on Sister Hua teaching her Martial Arts. Hmm, I’ve been learning as well. Sister Hua says I have a talent for Martial Arts. Hehe, maybe when you return, I’ll be a Martial Arts Master!]

[Husband, it must be hard living outside. The weather’s been unpredictable lately, wear more clothes, don’t catch a cold.]

[Everything at home is fine, I, Ruirui, and everyone are waiting for your return...]

Signature:

Wife: Su Yunjin

[The ninth year of Zhizheng...]

Chen Jie read through the letter from start to finish, feeling a warm current flow through his heart.

No matter how dangerous his life was, how hard his existence was, Chen Jie knew that he always had a home waiting for him.

This was what he needed most. He wasn’t afraid of danger. The adventures between life and death were actually thrilling to him. What he feared was loneliness. If he became the master of this world, an invincible existence, but had no loved ones by his side, what meaning would his invincibility have?

Chen Jie felt fortunate that he currently had a waiting wife, a sister, brothers like Xiao Hu who were loyal to him, a master, Wu Hong, Uncle Zhong, Aunt Bai, Uncle Erba...

He had many people who cared for him, and because of them, his existence was meaningful.

Otherwise, even if he was alive, it would be a lonely existence. Loneliness was truly man’s greatest enemy.

After composing his emotions, Chen Jie said to Doctor Bai, ”Master, could you check if there is anything wrong with this prescription?”

Chen Jie handed the prescription he held to Doctor Bai.

Doctor Bai received it, looked slightly surprised, and said, ”No problem.”

”Uh, Master, you mean?”

Doctor Bai explained, ”This recipe was developed by us, the Inner Hall Eight Great Doctors, and I added these eight medicines into it. Later, it was handed to the Old Guild Leader, who refined a furnace of Spirit Transformation Pills, and four pills were made.”

”Later, two of them were awarded to Peng Shizhong and Nan Batian. As for the others, I’m not aware. I’ve not been updated on whether the Fishing Guild has continued refining, but the ingredients here are hard to find, especially this Spirit Transformation Grass.”

Chen Jie then took out a red sandalwood box, inside which was a purple herb.

Doctor Bai’s eyes brightened: ”Spirit Transformation Grass!”

Chen Jie said, ”Master, take another look.”

Then, Chen Jie presented the other two main ingredients: [Absolute Spirit Seed][Blood Ganoderma of five hundred years].

It was unnecessary to check the Absolute Spirit Seed, but Doctor Bai focused on the Blood Ganoderma handed over by Chen Jie.
