Chapter 163 Green Wood Yang Fire Refining Pills

Pei Buxing truly lived up to Ji Daoyi's expectations. In the days that followed, he was like a diligent bee, frequently visiting him and even introducing him to his group of brothers.

As time went on, they became very close to Ji Daoyi, and Ji Daoyi would often give them some of the body-tempering pills he used for cultivation. Although these body-tempering pills were only of low to medium quality, they were all spoils he had collected in the past!

Under Ji Daoyi's meticulous care, Pei Buxing's brothers' cultivation levels slowly but surely rose like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Time flies like an arrow; Ji Daoyi has been in Huanglong Town for over a month now.

"Dao Yi, I have something to say to you." The old shopkeeper finally mustered up his courage on this day and found Ji Dao Yi.

Upon hearing this, Ji Daoyi looked slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "Elder Yang, what is it? Please speak freely. I will do my best to help you with anything within my power."

After spending more than a month together, Ji Daoyi had learned the old shopkeeper's name—Wang Yang. At first, Ji Daoyi called him Grandpa Wang, but Wang Yang was apprehensive and refused to accept the title. In the end, Ji Daoyi had no choice but to respectfully call him Old Yang.

As for Xiao Si, his original name was Ji Si. Because he was the fourth child in his family, his parents named him Ji Si.

Old shopkeeper Wang Yang went out and looked around. Seeing that Pei Buxing and the others had gradually gone far away, he turned back, closed the gate tightly, and then said to Ji Daoyi, "Daoyi, Pei Buxing and those people are no good. They used to come here often under the guise of visiting. The previous guardian also often gave them cultivation resources."

Ji Daoyi's smile deepened, and he said, "Of course I know!"

"Huh? Then why did you give them those pills? Isn't that..." Old shopkeeper Wang Yang was completely baffled, unable to fathom what Ji Daoyi was planning.

“Old Yang, you don’t need to worry about my dealings with them. I know what I’m doing. Just think of this as fishing. I’m just casting the bait. When the fish bite, that’s when I’ll reap the rewards.”

Ji Daoyi was well aware of the old shopkeeper Wang Yang's unwavering loyalty, which was why he dared to confide these heartfelt words to him.

"By the way, is there anything the shops need my help with these days? I've been too busy to check on it."

"Nothing is abnormal, everything is fine."

“That’s good. If there’s anything you can’t handle, feel free to come and find me.”

"I will."

Seeing that Ji Daoyi understood, the old shopkeeper Wang Yang said no more, then bowed and slowly withdrew.

Three months later,

The Azure Wood Yang Fire within Ji Daoyi's dantian, like a ferocious beast that had recovered, devoured the red wood block completely, and its fire essence grew dozens of times stronger.

He originally thought it would take half a year for the Green Wood Yang Fire to completely devour the red wood block, but unexpectedly, it was completed in just four months, two months ahead of schedule.

He could clearly feel the immense energy contained within the Azure Wood Yang Fire, like a vast ocean. However, all of this was thanks to Ji Daoyi's initial help in getting it to recognize him as its master and his careful nurturing of it since it was a weak seedling. Otherwise, it would have surely suffered a backlash and self-immolation.

At the same time, it was because Ji Daoyi's spiritual power was far stronger than his own cultivation that he was able to suppress the power of the Azure Wood Yang Fire as steadily as Mount Tai. Otherwise, with his current strength, he would not be able to control such a powerful heavenly fire, let alone use it to refine pills.

A month ago, his spiritual power broke through again like a rocket, reaching the mid-stage of the Divine Realm, while Qi Wei's remnant soul was left with less than a third of its original size.

Perhaps even Dan Chenzi did not expect that the Heavenly Fire Origin he gave to his disciple would grow so rapidly in such a short period of time.

"Wonderful! The Azure Wood Yang Fire bestowed upon me by my master can finally be put to use. Heavenly fire is indeed heavenly fire. After it grows up, the energy it contains is as vast as the stars, far beyond what ordinary earth fire can compare to." Ji Daoyi stared at the Azure Wood Yang Fire in his palm and murmured to himself.

When he released the heavenly fire, the temperature in the entire room instantly soared, as if it were a scorching summer day.

This is only the power of the Heavenly Fire before it has fully erupted. If it were to be fully released, Ji Daoyi felt that anyone below the Na Yuan Realm would find it difficult to withstand the burning of the Heavenly Fire, like a moth drawn to a flame, and would surely die. Even Na Yuan Realm experts would be severely injured if they were not careful.

"Today is a perfect day to try out the Heavenly Fire alchemy and see what surprises it will bring me."

Ji Daoyi rushed to the basement, took out the alchemy furnace he had obtained from Qi Wei, and took out the spiritual herbs. Just as he was about to refine a second-grade spiritual pill, the hand that had grabbed the spiritual herbs slowly lowered.

"I haven't mastered the Heavenly Fire alchemy technique yet. If I rashly attempt to refine it, and things go out of control, wouldn't it be a waste of these second-grade spiritual herbs?"

Ji Daoyi had a sudden thought and hurriedly put down the spiritual herbs he was using to refine a second-grade pill.

He took out the elixirs for refining the Body Tempering Pill from his storage bag.

After the alchemy furnace was fully prepared, he skillfully placed the forged leather grass into it. However, just as he was refining it, the short leather grass in the furnace turned to ashes as quickly as it appeared.

"This……"

Ji Dao was stunned. He never expected the temperature of the Heavenly Fire to be so high that the forging grass that had just entered the alchemy furnace instantly ignited.

Immediately afterwards, he formed a hand seal and used the Fire Control Technique to subdue the flames of the Green Wood Yang Fire.

"Luckily, I didn't recklessly use Heavenly Fire to refine second-grade pills, otherwise I would have lost several Qi-Nourishing Pills." Ji Daoyi secretly rejoiced.

Although Ji Daoyi is now wealthy and has no shortage of spiritual herbs, he still feels that a first-grade spiritual herb is more suitable for practice than a second-grade spiritual herb, so that he feels it is not a loss.

Having just experienced failure, Ji Daoyi did not immediately begin refining pills. Instead, he started continuously using the "Fire Control Technique" to manipulate the heavenly fire.

Half an hour later,

Ji Daoyi refined the Body Tempering Pill again. He skillfully put the Forging Skin Grass into the alchemy furnace. This time, without any surprises, the Forging Skin Grass was successfully purified. Then he purified the White Atractylodes Tree again, followed by the Blood Red Flower, and finally the Condensing Yuan Fruit.

Before long, Ji Daoyi successfully produced his first batch of Body Tempering Pills refined with Azure Wood Yang Fire.

"Not bad, full elixir!" Ji Daoyi nodded in satisfaction, clearly pleased with the pill refining process.

This alchemy also signifies that he has reached a level of consummate skill in using the Azure Wood Yang Fire.

Then he refined several more batches of Body Tempering Pills, and as expected, they were all successfully completed.

"Finally, we can refine the Qi-Nourishing Pill."

He happily took out the spiritual herbs for refining the Qi-Nourishing Pill and put them into the alchemy furnace for purification.

Boom

The sturdy high-grade yellow alchemy furnace exploded directly. Ji Daoyi reacted instinctively and immediately used 'Invincible' for defense.

That's right!

The high-grade yellow-level alchemy furnace that had refined several batches of Body Tempering Pills inexplicably exploded.
