Chapter 948 Bewitching Incense
"coming soon!"
Jing Yu thought to herself, "I knew it... Dan Dingzi wanted to poison me? Was that pill a poisonous one?"
Now that she knew Dan Dingzi was not the real person, Jing Yu naturally did not hesitate to speculate about everything about him with the worst possible intentions.
Mentioning elixirs at this time? Isn't that blatant poisoning?
Although Ming Yutai was also a young master from a prestigious family, he was not ignorant of the ways of the world and naturally knew that elixirs should not be taken casually. Upon hearing this, he hesitated.
Unexpectedly, Dan Dingzi laughed and said, "Unfortunately, this pill is extremely difficult to refine. May I borrow your precious place for a while? I will refine a batch of pills here."
Dan Dingzi's words dispelled all of Ming Yutai's doubts. Ming Yutai felt somewhat ashamed, thinking to himself:
“Yes, Brother Dan Ding has shown his sincerity. He opened the furnace to refine pills on the spot, and it was clear at a glance what methods he used and what medicinal materials he added. If there was anything wrong, Brother Xuanwu and I are both people with very high standards, so we can naturally see it at a glance.”
"Then I'll have to experience your divine alchemy skills, fellow Daoist!"
Dan Dingzi didn't dawdle. He spat out a small, exquisitely crafted cauldron from his mouth. The small cauldron expanded in the wind and quickly became a giant cauldron about the height of three people.
Looking at the medicine cauldron, Jing Yu couldn't help but think to herself, "This medicine cauldron... its design is far too ornate. Why is it studded with diamonds? It's so pretty, all sparkling."
Ming Yutai also looked strange and chuckled dryly, "Brother Dan Ding's medicine cauldron is really a bit... uh, too beautiful."
"Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse. For us alchemists, when we go out, our alchemy furnace and medicine cauldron are our own facade, so naturally the more magnificent the better."
Dan Dingzi chuckled, made a hand seal, and a stream of azure flames shot out from his palms, slowly swirling around the bottom of the medicine cauldron.
The diamond-encrusted cauldron shimmered with an eerie brilliance under the glow of the alchemical fire, swirling with ethereal ripples.
He muttered incantations and poured out several kinds of medicinal herbs from the tattered gourd at his waist. The herbs floated in mid-air and fell into the cauldron one by one with a light tap of his fingertips.
"This pill is called the [Spiritual Enlightenment Pill]. It requires Nine Nether Jade Marrow as a guide, supplemented with Leopard Spirit Mushroom..."
As Dan Dingzi explained, he continuously added precious medicinal herbs into the cauldron.
The medicine cauldron immediately began to gurgle and gurgle, and a faint fragrance began to spread.
Jing Yu stared intently at Dan Dingzi's hands, but found nothing unusual.
The rare and precious herbs that Dan Dingzi added were indeed medicines that helped to awaken the spirit and improve intelligence. As for toxicity? There was absolutely none.
But he frowned slightly, keenly sensing that the fragrance emanating from the medicine cauldron concealed a hidden secret.
The divine source lightning outside Jing Yu's Niwan Palace spontaneously activated, forming a dense protective net that completely eliminated the fragrance that was about to invade her soul.
On the other hand, Ming Yutai initially observed Dan Dingzi's alchemy techniques with great interest, but gradually his eyes began to glaze over, and his eyelids began to droop.
“Strange…” Ming Yutai shook his head, his voice muffled, “Why am I suddenly so sleepy…”
A barely perceptible sneer curled at the corner of Dan Dingzi's mouth as he continued to add a few more medicinal herbs.
The aroma from the medicine cauldron grew stronger, turning into pale pink smoke that filled the room.
Ming Yutai finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground with a thud, falling into a deep sleep.
Looking at Ming Yutai, who was temporarily unconscious, Jing Yu said thoughtfully, "A sleeping incense that targets the soul? I understand. You applied this sleeping incense to the inner wall of the medicine cauldron beforehand. When you opened the furnace to refine the pills, the medicinal power would naturally begin to evaporate when the fire was lit... Good trick."
Dan Dingzi, however, saw Jing Yu as if she were a ghost, and he still did not believe in superstition:
Why are you alright?
"Impossible! My incense targets the soul. Your cultivation level is only at the Nascent Soul stage, so your soul strength is naturally also at the Nascent Soul level. Even if your body refinement cultivation reaches the Cave Heaven stage, it won't help!"
"You should know that there are always higher heavens and more powerful people out there. Fellow Daoist, you are underestimating the Tianwu Sect too much," Jing Yu said leisurely.
"What a load of rubbish, the disciples of the Heavenly Martial Sect!"
Dan Dingzi cursed, "That idiot Ming Yutai is one thing, but he also dared to spout nonsense in front of me? Today you've met the ancestor of all charlatans! Fine, it'll just take a little more effort!"
After saying that, Dan Dingzi's true essence surged, and his powerful cultivation at the mid-stage of the Cave Heaven Realm was revealed in an instant!
But the next moment, Dan Dingzi felt a darkness before his eyes, and the entire small world was suddenly swallowed by scarlet blood light.
He looked up in horror and saw a blood river that blotted out the sky and stretched across the void, with countless white bone fragments floating in the viscous blood.
The ground suddenly cracked open, and the majestic Bone Mountain burst forth from the earth, with divine light shooting into the sky from the peaks of the five shrines.
Five beams of divine light fell to earth like shooting stars, transforming upon landing into five deities representing internal organs.
These five deities were all at the early stage of the Cave Heaven realm. Now, they formed a battle formation, their auras connected, and when they fought together, they were no less powerful than cultivators at the mid-stage of the Cave Heaven realm.
Dan Dingzi was, after all, a prodigy, far superior to ordinary mid-stage cultivators of the Cave Heaven. He crushed several spirit pills, and the surging medicinal power was inhaled into his stomach in one breath. The next moment, his aura rose to another level, and he unleashed several divine abilities, almost dispersing the formation formed by the internal organs spirits.
But soon, Dan Dingzi sensed that something was amiss.
His eyelids slowly grew heavy, and he felt his true energy circulation begin to sluggish. The power of his spells and supernatural abilities also gradually weakened, no longer at their peak.
"Damn it...why? Could I have been poisoned too? That shouldn't be...I clearly took the antidote beforehand..."
The [Divine Dream Law] was slowly taking effect, and Dan Dingzi was soon suppressed by the five gods and began to retreat steadily.
After a long time, Dan Dingzi's strength gradually gave out, and his true essence became stagnant. He couldn't make a turn and ended up revealing a huge flaw.
In an instant, the five-colored deities vanished without a trace, and the mountain of bones and sea of blood also disappeared completely.
Instead, a tall man with wings on his back, a majestic head, and a pale golden vertical eye between his brows appeared. At this moment, a bright light shone down from the vertical eye, and at the same time, he pressed down with his hand!
Dan Dingzi felt an immense force bearing down on his body, suppressing his physical body, nascent soul, and divine spirit in every way. The god-like man before him had a detached gaze and spoke:
"Still not revealing your true form? I'll give you three more breaths. If you're still hiding after three breaths... you'll bear the consequences!"
Dan Dingzi felt utterly terrified. The absolute difference in their combat strength made it almost impossible for him to resist. Looking at the stranger's indifferent gaze, he almost believed it:
"He really will kill me!"
Under the pressure of absolute power, Dan Dingzi gradually began to whimper in fear. At this moment, the cultivator of unknown origin finally begged for mercy:
"Fellow Daoist, please stop! Show mercy! I am from the Ling family of the Shattered Storm Star Region, you cannot kill me..."
The next moment, the disheveled Taoist priest in front of him slowly changed his appearance. Before long, Dan Dingzi transformed into a beautiful woman dressed in plain clothes with skin as white as snow!
Jing Yu was slightly stunned, completely unexpected that Dan Dingzi was actually a female cultivator. He said in disbelief:
"What exactly are you..."
The woman almost burst into tears, feeling wronged: "I am Ling Qishuang, a direct descendant of the Ling family."
