Chapter 24 Spirit-Preserving Pill
Chapter 24 Spirit-Preserving Pill
In the chaos, Bai Moyan choked on a mouthful of pool water.
Helpless, Luo Sifan wrapped his arms around Bai Moyan's slender waist from behind and helped her up, her body flushed with a rosy hue as she coughed repeatedly.
Bai Moyan struggled a few times, and the contact between the two became more subtle.
Su Xing remained still and obediently curled up in Luo Sifan's arms.
Luo Sifan was so overwhelmed with pleasure that she seemed unable to continue. She lay down limply, no longer acting like a demon.
Calm and composed, Luo Sifan pressed his cheek against Bai Moyan's, somewhat amusedly enjoying the girl's warm, half-shy skin, and whispered in her ear:
"Good sister, you've just broken through the barrier, so you need to calm down and consolidate your foundation for a while, lest you damage it."
Bai Moyan was aroused by his cold voice and intimate actions, leaving her unsure of what to do. She responded softly. It took her a while to calm down, and she began to practice her inner cultivation technique, gradually entering a state of blissful concentration.
Luo Sifan held her still in the pool, remaining silent, seemingly disappearing into the water, gradually appearing and disappearing in Bai Moyan's perception.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator's application of the power of the underlying rules was enough to distort Bai Moyan's perception of the outside world.
"Sister! Sister Lin!"
Bai Moyan finished her breathing exercises, opened her eyes, and saw no sign of Luo Sifan. A sudden emptiness filled her heart, and she unconsciously called out.
Luo Sifan suddenly appeared, lazily replying from the other side of the pool:
"It's right here, where can I run to?"
Bai Moyan blushed and stood up from the pool, covering her chest.
"Sister, wait here for a moment, I'll go get you some clothes."
After saying that, he lightly touched the ground with both feet and darted out of the bath like a whirlwind.
Surprisingly, there were still quite a few dresses stored in this forbidden cave. Bai Moyan changed into one and brought Luo Sifan a white dress and apron, which suited her quite well.
Luo Sifan shook her long hair and stepped out of the pool, already quite dry.
Luo Sifan readily grasped the principles by which Foundation Establishment cultivators applied the underlying rules.
Bai Moyan's hair was still damp, which made me somewhat envious.
Luo Sifan smiled slightly and rubbed her head with his hand, instantly drying it.
Bai Moyan stomped her foot and glanced sideways:
"Sister, hurry up and put on your dress!"
Luo Sifan dressed casually, completely ignoring Bai Moyan, who was biting her lip and peeking at her.
With the Taiyi Qingxuan Skill no longer causing trouble, Luo Sifan was now as steady as an old dog, while Bai Moyan blushed and her heart pounded.
Dressed in pure white, with a tall and slender figure and a casually tied high ponytail, Luo Sifan's image and charm struck Bai Moyan like a tidal wave.
Even a casual glance seemed to be filled with provocation and a deep, eerie allure.
"What are you doing?"
Luo Sifan tapped Bai Moyan's forehead in surprise, making the absent-minded Bai Moyan's face fall.
The colorful images I had imagined all fell apart.
Bai Moyan angrily lifted her foot and walked away, and Luo Sifan followed her without any explanation.
Arriving at a bedroom, the splendor was even greater, with the stone walls still adorned with beautiful paintings of women full of springtime charm.
Apart from the cloud bed and wardrobe, there was nothing else.
Sitting reclining on the cloud bed, Bai Moyan took out a jade talisman, which flashed lightly after she infused it with spiritual energy.
A familiar, weary female voice came from within the talisman:
"Moyan, what do you want?"
Bai Moyan's face lit up with joy:
"Mother, how did the pill refining go today? Shouldn't we be able to start treating your illness now?"
Bai Wuxia remained silent for a moment, then said calmly:
"Too many changes have occurred today, and I don't know whether the elixir will be successful or not."
Bai Moyan's face darkened, and she forced a smile, saying:
"Aunt Qing should do her best, Mother. You can urge her to do more."
"Of course I know that."
Bai Wuxia's voice carried a faint smile.
"Is there anything else?"
Under Luo Sifan's gaze, Bai Moyan's face flushed, and she whispered to the jade talisman:
"Mother, I just broke through to the sixth level, and it's now stable."
Bai Wuxia was clearly surprised for a moment, but finally, with a joyful expression, she praised Bai Moyan profusely.
Bai Moyan blushed and her ears burned as she quickly dissipated the spiritual energy from the jade talisman.
Luo Sifan, listening from the side, frowned deeply. Qing Li hadn't even handed the Spirit-Preserving Pill to Bai Wuxia yet?
Given Bai Wuxia's weakened state of spirit and soul, if she continues to hold on, she will likely fall into a completely different realm, suffering irreversible damage to both her spirit and body.
"Moyan, come with me!"
Luo Sifan gave Bai Moyan orders without any room for argument.
Overwhelmed by the lingering power of being subdued, Bai Moyan, despite her many schemes, could only obediently follow Luo Sifan to the main hall of the forbidden cave.
Luo Sifan sat down cross-legged and placed the Mandarin Duck Ruyi Furnace and a group of spiritual materials at his feet.
After the inspection was completed, Luo Sifan looked up and smiled at Bai Moyan:
"Your mother's health urgently needs the Spirit-Preserving Pill to regulate her condition. Since the pill didn't work today, we can't delay any longer. I'll refine a batch right here. Moyan, you protect her and make sure no one disturbs her!"
Bai Moyan nodded happily, tensed up at the cave entrance, and guarded it carefully.
With the Mandarin Duck Ruyi Incense Burner in hand, one person and one incense burner, one can move freely as if their hearts are in sync.
He opened the furnace, added the spiritual materials, and after calcining, the energy was released with a flick of his wrist. Luo Sifan, at the Foundation Establishment stage, wielded the Taiyi spiritual energy with effortless skill, and not a single drop of spiritual energy escaped from the furnace cavity.
Transforming the five elements of spiritual energy was effortless for Luo Sifan. He was extremely relaxed as he refined and nurtured the materials while extracting the liquid. His hands moved like butterflies flitting among flowers. Gradually, a cave was filled with a mixed fragrance of medicine.
Luo Sifan no longer needed to hide his skills from Bai Moyan. He did his best and, after spinning the pill, the Taiyi spiritual energy surged, and the fused pill liquid turned into nine beads. They spun and cooled in the Ruyi Furnace, and one by one, the vermilion powder wrapped around the silver thread formed the Spirit-Preserving Pill.
A strange fragrance, penetrating to the very soul, was fiercely released into the cave after the pill was completed.
"It's done!"
Luo Sifan beckoned, and nine spirit pills fell into his palm, each perfectly round, even the silver threads of their color seemed to be identical.
Although the pills were refined in a hurry, Luo Sifan did not use any special methods to enhance their appearance. Judging from their quality, they were already at the peak of the superior grade.
What's remarkable is that the elixir is of uniform purity, and Luo Sifan's method of combining elixirs is quite effective.
Qingli and the others were unaware of the commotion. The entrance to the forbidden cave remained quiet and undisturbed.
Luo Sifan divided the elixir into two portions and spread them out in his palms.
Bai Moyan happily took out two pill bottles from the mirage pill and filled them with the contents.
"Thank you, sister!"
Bai Moyan accepted one bottle and handed the other to Luo Sifan.
This girl is quite well-behaved, not greedy, and has a good attitude.
Bai Moyan eagerly activated the jade talisman, informing Bai Wuxia that the Spirit-Preserving Pill had been successfully refined.
Despite her doubts, Bai Wuxia eventually appeared inside the forbidden cave a few breaths later.
The strong medicinal fragrance stabilized her mind considerably, and the doubt on Bai Wuxia's face turned into a faint surprise.
After accepting Bai Moyan's pill bottle, Bai Wuxia gently stroked her daughter's hands, listening to Bai Moyan's excited story, and her gaze towards Luo Sifan also carried a hint of admiration.
“Miss Lin, the clan leader must have her reasons for imprisoning you here. I, Bai Wuxia, will not take the kindness of the pill lightly. When the time is right, I will plead with the clan leader to release you as soon as possible.”
Luo Sifan didn't say much, but smiled and bowed to Bai Wuxia to express his gratitude.
"Moyan and I are like sisters, Senior Wuxia, you don't need to take such a trivial matter to heart. Treating the illness with elixirs is the most important thing."
"I am so happy to be confined here with my sister Moyan, focusing our minds and sharing the same interests. Our cultivation is progressing by leaps and bounds. I am overjoyed."
Luo Sifan glanced at Bai Moyan and secretly winked:
"Moyan, don't you think so?"
Bai Moyan's hands trembled, and she glanced at Bai Wuxia in a panic.
Bai Wuxia saw this and, with a complicated expression, gently lowered Bai Moyan's hands.
"That's great, I feel much more at ease now."
