In Lan Xi's mind, Cultivation was just a technique similar to Internal Strength. The word " Immortal " was just a rumor. However, after listening to Mei Sheng's introduction, she realized the legend of Cultivation. With the help of pills, one could absorb the essence of heaven and earth every morning, learn external moves, and strengthen weapons to reach the realm of experts. Naturally, there was no limit to the number of experts.
Mei Sheng said that cultivation was divided into two stages. The mortal stage was divided into Foundation Establishment, Spirit Void, Unity, Nascent Soul, Void Nether, Frost, Tribulation, Nirvana, and Mahayana. Mahayana was the highest stage of cultivation in the mortal stage. One could see the secrets of the heavens. Only in the Mahayana stage could one become an immortal or become a devil. Once successful, one would leave the mortal body and have an unlimited lifespan like the demon immortals.
There were tens of thousands of medicinal pills required for cultivation. Marrow Cleansing Pills and Vitality Cultivating Pills were the most common and were also the most needed by people who had just started cultivation. Through Marrow Cleansing Pills, the body would be reconstructed, the rough and rough would be removed, and the essence would be retained, allowing the body to be in the best state. This kind of pill could only be taken once in a lifetime, and it was useless to eat more. Moreover, the pain during the Marrow Cleansing period was abnormal. Once the person failed to take the pill, he was destined to be crippled. It was quite a sense of success or death.
As the name suggested, the Essence Cultivating Pill had the effect of strengthening the foundation. Mei Sheng said that this pill was most effective in the Foundation Establishment stage and had little effect on the higher levels. There were also Nirvana Pill, Continuous Pill, Perish Pill, Cold Marrow Scale, Tian Lingzi, Continuous Pill, Clear Body Pill, Essence Yang Pill, Seven Gathering Pill, and so on. Each pill had different effects, but it was extremely important to cultivators. Therefore, alchemists in the cultivation world were respected by everyone.
Mei Sheng was a self-cultivation alchemist when she was alive. She was framed and killed by her enemies during the Heavenly Tribulation of the Fairy Realm. After her death, she was unable to go to the Upper Realm because of the resentment in her heart. Her soul could only go to the Prison Realm to wait for reincarnation. However, she was not willing to die just like that. King Qinguang agreed to stay there and help until Lan Xi brought her back to the Yang Realm.
Although Lan Xi had been in the Other World for half a year, she had not been to understand the situation in the Other World. To be honest, she did not even know if there was a demon world here. Therefore, when she first heard that Mei Sheng was an alchemist, she was a little surprised. After asking, she found out that there was a world of self-cultivation here. However, the self-cultivators never took a step out, so no one in the Three Kingdoms knew of their existence. The self-cultivation method that Gu Moxi obtained was determined to be real by Mei Sheng, and it was extremely precious in the world of self-cultivation. Mei Sheng didn't know why she disappeared from the cultivation world and appeared here. Mei Sheng thought that Gu Moxi was fated to be a cultivator, but Lan Xi didn't think so. She had a small doubt in her heart.
After hearing this, the black cats stood up and looked up at Gu Mo Xi, asking again with uncertainty," Are you sure you won't regret it?"”
"No regrets." The powerful words stirred Lan Xi's heart and soul. She was so touched that she lost the ability to speak.
Gu Mo Xi's charming phoenix eyes looked at Mei Sheng, her thin lips opening and closing," When can you give me the Marrow Cleansing Pill?"”
Lan Xi was not the only one who was moved. Mei Sheng was shocked when he heard this. Cultivation was an extremely arduous and dangerous journey. Gu Moxi had chosen this path for the one she loved, which made her completely put down her prejudice. For the sake of her miss, she would do her best to help him. Fortunately, there was a mountain outside Shengyang City that had the materials needed for alchemy. In addition, she had the Coiling Dragon Furnace.
Back when the Black Gold Coiling Dragon Furnace was first made, all alchemists fought for it and finally, she took it. It was also because of this furnace that she was framed and killed. However, she did not expect that it would be a blessing in disguise. Alchemists all knew that the fire needed for alchemy was also very important. After becoming a living soul, she used ghost fire to refine pills, and the effect was even better than the pills she refined when she was alive. If that person knew about it, he would definitely be furious.
"After the morning court session tomorrow." Mei Sheng turned around and left the Yiran Residence after saying that. She must have gone to collect the materials needed for the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Essence Cultivating Pill.
After Mei Sheng left, the man and the cat fell into silence. Gu Moxi's eyes were as gentle as water, and her focused gaze made the black cat uncomfortable. Finally, she turned her head and said,"Don't come to me if you die tomorrow." After saying that, her nimble body darted out of the door like an arrow that had escaped from a bow, leaving Gu Moxi with a helpless smile.
"You obviously care about me, but you keep trying to hide it. Xi 'er is so awkward and cute.”
The next day, in the court, the officials reported on the major and minor matters of the country and discussed solutions one by one. It was relatively harmonious when there were no serious incidents. Gu Moxi, Gu Moyan, and the old Prime Minister basically did not need to speak.
Soon, the court session ended. On the way out of the palace, Gu Moyan caught up with his second brother. His handsome face was filled with excitement, and his peach blossom eyes were filled with bright spots of light. His plump lips were slightly open." Second brother, how did you think of this tug-of-war method? After I let them into the military camp yesterday, the soldiers went crazy."”
"Oh, so the effect is pretty good." Hearing this, Gu Mo Xi's distant smile was mixed with warmth.
"Not only was it not bad, it was simply too satisfying. You didn't see the situation at that time. The soldiers were more united and had deeper feelings than before. They said that they would compete every day.”At this point, Gu Moyan was in high spirits. He must have thought of yesterday's scene.
Gu Mo Xi was also happy to see her third brother's expression. She rejected the suggestion of drinking together and sat in the carriage back to the residence.
Listening to the lively voices outside, he returned to the entrance of the Lan Mansion. Gu Moxi, dressed in white, pushed the door open and entered. She quickly walked through the front hall and garden and entered the Yiran Residence with firm steps. She saw Mei Sheng and the black cat standing and lying down, waiting for him with a smile in their eyes. She went forward to stroke the black cat's soft and shiny fur and opened her left hand to Mei Sheng.
Mei Sheng took out two small porcelain bottles from her sleeve and said," There is only one Marrow Cleansing Pill and fifty Vitality Enhancing Pills. After the Marrow Cleansing is successful, take the Vitality Enhancing Pill. From now on, take one Vitality Enhancing Pill every day until you reach the Nascent Soul Stage. During this period, I will refine other pills that I need. If there is not enough, just let me know."”
Gu Moxi nodded and looked at the two porcelain bottles in her hands with determination. She put down the bottle containing the Peiyuan Pill, pulled out the stopper of the other porcelain bottle, and poured it out. There was a snow-white pill in her hand. It tasted fresh and pleasant. He was about to open his mouth to swallow it when he suddenly stopped. He turned to look at the black cat with two curious black eyes and said," Xi 'er, get out."”
"Why?" Lan Xi opened her mouth and asked. She was really curious about human cultivation. Now that there was a case, how could she miss it?
"I don't want you to see me in pain, so can you get out?”Gu Moxi softened her voice. It didn't matter if she was pretentious. She just hoped that she would always be beautiful in Xi 'er's eyes.
Lan Xi's throat choked up after hearing that. She paused for a few seconds before turning her head and saying disdainfully," Tsk, so be it. It's not like I have to look at it. Also, if it hurts, feel free to scream. I'll be happy to hear it."”After saying that, his gaze swept past Mei Sheng, who jumped off the desk and elegantly walked out of the room.
The two in the room couldn't help but laugh at her hypocrisy. She was just worried that Gu Mo Xi couldn't bear the pain and wanted him to vent. Why did she have to say that she was a big villain?
After closing the door and windows, Gu Mo Xi lay down on the bed under Mei Sheng's gaze. She swallowed the snow-white pill in her palm and quietly waited for the medicinal effect to spread.
The black cat did not go far after it left. It sat at the door and stared at the sky. It found that the sky in the other world was brighter and more beautiful. The inverted triangular ears on the top of its head listened to the sounds inside. Soon, it heard the man's painful moans again and again, which then turned into more painful screams. At the same time, there was the sound of the bed shaking.
Lan Xi closed her eyes, the urge to scream in her throat turned into a deep sigh. She never thought that there would be a human who would do anything for her. This feeling made her feel a little overwhelmed, but she did not dare to take a step forward. She had a heavy sense of confusion in her heart, as if she had walked into a thick fog and lost her direction. The pain in the room continued. Her cat claws on the ground unconsciously stretched out sharp nails, drawing six deep scratch marks.
After an unknown amount of time, the sounds inside gradually became softer, and finally, it became deathly silent. With a creak, the door opened, and Mei Sheng walked out from inside. There was a thin layer of sweat on her face, which made Lan Xi's heart sink. The fact that the living soul was sweating showed that it had experienced extreme tension. It could be seen how important Purification was.
"Miss, don't worry. Gu Mo Xi succeeded, but he's so tired that he's unconscious now.”
Lan Xi was delighted. It was good that she had succeeded. She looked inside and hesitated for a moment before signaling Mei Sheng to carry her back. She thought that it was better to let Gu Moxi rest well today.
Time flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, winter had passed. Shengyang welcomed the season of warm flowers. After the lively Lantern Festival, it was time for the Hundred Flowers Festival, which was loved by young men and women. On this day, unmarried men and women gathered by Shengyang Lake. Each of the women had a fresh flower, and if they liked a man, they would give it to him. If the man agreed, they would accept it. In layman's terms, it was a folk matchmaking session.
The warm sunlight sprinkled on the ground. People took off their thick winter clothes and changed into beautiful and light spring clothes. The birds that had gone to the south for the winter had also returned. They stood on the branches and chirped. The flowers bloomed and competed with each other, adding colorful colors to the thick spring. In the Lan Mansion, the peach blossoms in the Peach Blossom Cove and the garden were the most brilliant, causing Taoyao to linger every day and make all kinds of coquettish postures under the peach blossoms.
It had been a month since Gu Moxi started cultivating. Every day, she would get up at dawn and go to the garden to meditate and cultivate. According to Mei Sheng, he was quite talented and had reached the Spirit Void Stage in just a month. Plus, the Peiyuan Pill was very stable. If this continued, the foundation of his cultivation would be stronger than the average person. Now, ordinary martial arts masters could not match him. On the other hand, Lan Xi completely put down her cultivation and spent her days in a daze. Gu Moxi had advised her more than once, but she ignored it and did not explain. He could only shake his head and give up.
The cultivation methods of humans and demons were different. Although they were both arduous and dangerous, the cultivation of demons not only required the essence of heaven and earth, but also the spiritual energy of the earth vein. The higher the cultivation, the purer and denser the spiritual energy needed. Killing would increase one's own evil spirit, and the tribulation would be more dangerous. This was similar to Gu Moxi's cultivation.
On the day of the Hundred Flower Festival, Lan Xi took the initiative to go out for a walk when she saw that the weather was good. This was the first time she had asked Gu Moxi to go out for a walk. Gu Moxi naturally wouldn't refuse. She didn't let the servants accompany her and happily carried the black cat out of the Lan Mansion. She was still dressed in white, but after cultivating, she looked more ethereal like an immortal, giving people the feeling that she would fly away at any time.
