Each flower is a rare gem, unique in shape, color, and fragrance.
But without exception, they all exude a powerful spirituality and pure energy fluctuations.
There is the "Crimson Phoenix Nirvana Flower," with petals as red as flames and as delicate as phoenix feathers; and the "Vast Ocean Spirit Orchid," with petals as blue as water and a stamen that seems to ripple with the tides.
It can be said that these rare and precious materials are all top-grade main ingredients for refining "Earth Fragrance" and even higher-grade pills, with medicinal power far exceeding what is commonly seen in the outside world.
"That's really a grand gesture." Even Li Xijun couldn't help but exclaim in amazement again.
The Flower-Serving Village once possessed an extremely high level of skill in cultivating spiritual plants, and the value of these forty-nine extraordinary flowers is immeasurable.
Just as this thought arose, Li Xijun instantly realized something.
"Could it be... that this place was originally prepared by Japan for its own geniuses?"
"The previous barrier was clearly able to isolate the 'Calamity' demonic energy to a certain extent."
"This formation should now be able to help these rare flowers absorb spiritual energy faster."
"This garden in the aquatic village was probably kept closed off to allow them to grow, and after a certain period of time..."
"Let the geniuses from the cherry blossom country who have entered this world come here for a great feast."
Thinking about this, Li Xijun felt that she had guessed the truth.
"However, the officials of the Cherry Blossom Country probably never imagined that I would be able to reach this garden on the first night with the 'Emperor's Aura Observation Technique'."
"Now, all forty-nine rare and precious flowers that the Sakura Kingdom painstakingly cultivated in this mythical world have all gone to me."
Without further hesitation, he gathered extremely pure spiritual power from the Azure Dragon Wood Longevity Technique at his fingertips, transforming it into strands of vibrant azure threads.
These threads are not meant to cause destruction, but rather, like the most skillful hands, they gently wrap around the roots and stems of each exotic flower, mimicking the natural shedding of petals, while simultaneously sealing away all their spiritual essence with the ever-renewing spiritual power of the Wood element.
This is another application of the "Sword Intent of Life," not killing, but harvesting, striving to perfectly preserve the medicinal properties.
Under his control, the exotic flowers seemed to fall off on their own, floating lightly into the air, where he carefully collected them into a box that he had prepared beforehand.
The entire process was smooth and seamless, without damaging the beauty of any of the flowers or plants in the slightest.
In no time at all, all forty-nine rare and exotic flowers were acquired.
"A very fruitful harvest." A satisfied smile appeared on Li Xijun's lips.
He never expected that he would reap such a huge reward on the very first evening after entering this "Land of Dragon Origin".
The quality of these rare flowers was sufficient for him to refine three highly effective "Earth Fragrance" medicines.
Li Xijun looked at the sky.
The abnormally azure sky of this mythical world is now as dark as ink.
At the Celestial Realm level, he even sensed that the 'Calamity' demonic energy of this world was becoming increasingly active and spreading.
"So that's how it is. At night, this 'Calamity' demonic energy takes center stage."
"The activities of various contaminated mythical creatures will likely become more frequent."
"This village, which has just been cleaned up, is protected by the remaining barrier, making it a decent temporary place to stay."
Although the night wasn't particularly difficult for him, considering how much money he had just earned,
After thinking for a moment, Li Xijun decided to release the top-grade magic weapon flying sword from his sea of consciousness and use it as a protector, as usual.
Taking advantage of the abundance of rare and exotic flowers and herbs, he directly began refining the great medicine, "The Three Scrolls of Fragrance: The Scroll of Earthly Fragrance".
His bountiful harvest of rare and precious materials is enough to support the refining of three major medicines.
Therefore, Li Xijun didn't care too much and directly began refining the great medicine in this garden where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely rich.
He activated the "Vermilion Bird's Blazing Fire Heaven-Burning Scripture," and with the Vermilion Bird's spiritual power activated...
A pure and fiery crimson flame rose from his palm, leaping and radiating a righteous and scorching aura, driving away the 'Calamity' demonic energy that had become active due to the night.
He used his mental power to control the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire, maintaining it in a stable state.
Following the method described in "Heavenly Fragrance Volume 3: Earthly Fragrance Volume", they began to systematically add the prepared spiritual flowers and herbs one by one.
The process of refining "earth fragrance" is not a traditional alchemy process, but rather a process of extraction and blending.
He needs to use precise control of heat to extract the essence of various ingredients, and then use special techniques to blend them together.
Ultimately, this forms a unique "fragrant source" that can be directly absorbed by the human body, nourishing the body's essence and stimulating boundless vitality.
Two hours passed quietly in focused concentration.
When Li Xijun used the special techniques from the "Three Scrolls of Heavenly Fragrance" to continuously infuse spiritual energy and fuse these essences...
A rich yet pleasant and refreshing fragrance wafted through the air, invigorating the spirit and boosting blood circulation.
The viscous liquid, a small pool of vibrant green, resembling liquid jade, emitted a soft glow.
The first batch of "Earth Incense" has been completed.
However, Li Xijun frowned slightly. In his perception, although this earth incense was successful, much of its medicinal power had been lost during the tempering process, making the fusion imperfect. Furthermore, it possessed a somewhat fiery and restless aura reminiscent of the Vermilion Bird Flame, so its quality could only be considered inferior, failing to reach its peak.
"Fortunately, I have sufficient resources now. Even if it's my first time refining and I'm lacking in the heat, extraction, and medicinal properties, I still have two more chances to refine an inferior product."
Despite having access to abundant natural treasures, Li Xijun was not angry. Instead, he carefully reflected on the process just now and noted down all the shortcomings.
He did not take the first dose of this inferior medicine, but instead sealed it away.
After a short period of rest and recuperation, he immediately began refining the second batch of Earth Incense.
With the experience from the first time, his technique was more refined this time, his control over the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire became more stable, and his mental energy input was more precise.
The timing of each material's input, extraction level, and fusion sequence have all been optimized.
Until late at night, all was quiet except for a single crimson flame burning silently in the center of the courtyard.
"Buzz!"
A soft hum suddenly emanated from the furnace, and a purer, more restrained, and vibrant fragrance, as vast as the sea, quietly spread out, even attracting the wood elemental energy of the surrounding world to gather there spontaneously.
A glint flashed in Li Xijun's eyes, and he immediately took the large dose of medicine into his palm and examined it carefully.
This portion of the medicine was a deeper color, almost dark green, yet incredibly translucent.
Like a perfect emerald that has been settling over millions of years,
It seems as if life is flowing within, and a unique fragrance is fully contained within. Only by getting close can one feel its awe-inspiring vitality.
Excellent quality!
This progress excited Li Xijun, who immediately began the third refining process.
However, this time there was not as much progress as before; it was only slightly better than the second time.
"A top-quality product...and it was made using rare and precious natural materials from the main world, which are rich in spiritual energy."
"In this way, even with my current physique, I should be able to guarantee enough progress to break through to the next level."
Without further hesitation, Li Xijun immediately sat down cross-legged and swallowed the entire contents of this top-quality earth fragrance!
The earth fragrance medicine did not immediately dissolve upon entering the stomach, but rather, like a warm seed, sank into the dantian and dantian.
The next moment, a vast yet gentle life force erupted, like a volcano that had been accumulating for millions of years, instantly surging into his limbs, bones, meridians, and acupoints!
This energy was extremely pure and easily absorbed, frantically nourishing his body, cleansing his meridians, and strengthening his vital energy.
Li Xijun immediately activated the "Azure Dragon Wood Longevity Technique," guiding the immense medicinal power to rush towards the nasal and oral orifices, which were not yet fully formed among the seven orifices of the face.
The nasal passages are responsible for breathing, connect to the lungs and internal organs, and sense the breath of heaven and earth.
The mouth is responsible for swallowing and spitting out, taking in essence, and communicating internal and external energies.
Under the combined effects of the powerful medicinal properties of the earth fragrance and the "Azure Dragon Wood Longevity Formula," these two acupoints and the nearby acupoints began to undergo extremely smooth condensation.
It wasn't until almost noon the next day that...
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
As the two acupoints opened and condensed with a soft sound, Li Xijun found that his senses instantly became more acute. He could clearly distinguish countless different scents in the air and even "smell" the subtle flow of spiritual energy in heaven and earth.
The mouth and tongue felt refreshed, as if they could exchange energy with the heavens and earth at a deeper level, and the speed of cultivation increased imperceptibly.
The five senses of a person undergo a qualitative improvement.
Even Li Xijun felt his sixth sense.
That kind of premonition, which is based on physical instinct, has become more acute, and can even be considered as close as a spiritual warning.
With the seven orifices opened, the inner vision was initially completed!
Li Xijun clearly felt that a more perfect cycle had formed inside her body.
The surging blood and qi emitted a faint sound like the tides.
The clear, glass-like spiritual energy flowing beneath the skin became even more solid.
The person's life force field is vigorous and upward, full of boundless vitality.
His physique has been strengthened once again, and the vitality within his body is several times greater than before!
Only after the medicine was fully absorbed did Li Xijun slowly open her eyes, her eyes swirling with azure-gold, as if countless lives were being destroyed and reborn.
He exhaled a breath of stale air, long and deep, carrying a fresh, exotic fragrance of herbs and trees.
"The seven orifices are complete, bringing us one step closer to the perfection of the inner vision."
"In this state, even if I encounter that withered old man again, I can deal with him with twice the ease of before, even without transforming."
"Soon, once all nine of my acupoints are opened and I reach the late stage of the Intent Realm, revenge may not be impossible!"
Thinking of this, Li Xijun's expression revealed an undisguised fighting spirit and excitement.
For the past two hundred years, there has been an ironclad rule in the main world: the external landscape is the insurmountable barrier between ordinary martial artists and powerful individuals.
Since the world has undergone tremendous changes, there has never been a case of an outdoor setting being used to create a stunning visual effect.
Even many experts who study multiple mythological worlds and countless mythological beings have asserted that:
Even among the hundreds of mythological worlds known to date, there has never been a mythological creature below the Outer Realm that could defeat and kill an Outer Realm level being.
Even the highest-blooded true dragons, blood kun, phoenixes, and offspring of gods,
They also cannot kill mythical creatures that are one level higher than them at the Outer Realm level.
In the world of martial arts, there has never been a legend of an enlightened martial artist killing an outsider.
Although some people believe that a martial artist with all nine orifices open might be able to exploit a critically injured and dying external scene.
However, such cases, which are almost impossible to refer to or may not even be passed down, are not suitable for discussion.
At least in all the records of the "Book of Mortal Realms" throughout history, there has never been a server-wide announcement of someone's feat of defeating a powerful being from the Outer Realm.
However, for him, who had already fought against the old man with withered bones, these were not ironclad rules.
"Perhaps such a thing has never happened before, but when I return to the world of martial arts, I will rise above my enemies and achieve a stunning victory..."
Li Xijun slowly gripped the sword at his waist.
"It will begin with myself!"
Half an hour later,
As Li Xijun withdrew her aura after the breakthrough and returned to normal, she was about to pack her things and leave when...
"what?"
In his mental perception, there was a rather strong aura that was cautiously approaching the village.
"Someone's here? Is it someone from Japan?"
"Li Xijun activated his mental scan and instantly identified the newcomer's identity."
The person who arrived was none other than Hyōdō Jō from before. However, he was in good condition now, and it was unclear what good thing he had taken.
His injuries have basically healed, he is no longer listless, and his physical condition is even much better than before.
"After all, this is a resource-rich secret realm that the Japanese government has controlled for many years. It seems they have some backup plans... Unfortunately, you're not so lucky."
