Cultivating With Mutated Heavenly Spirit Roots-Chapter 82: Seclusion

"Hahaha... So many!"

Elder Huang Xiong couldn’t help but laugh heartily, his face full of undisguised joy, as he watched Fang Hong take out the spirit medicines one by one.

The ground was covered with colorful spirit medicines. A rough count showed there were a total of nine hundred and twelve plants, with one hundred and fifty-six of them being thousand-year spirit medicines, far exceeding the collection quantity of any other disciple.

The other disciples were all dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes.

They looked at Fang Hong as if he were a Prodigy, and for a time, discussions rose and fell.

"That’s too exaggerated... How did he do it?"

"Could it be that he robbed the spirit medicines from other disciples?"

...

"Excellent! Fang Hong, you truly are something, to be able to harvest so many spirit medicines!" Elder Huang Xiong couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, praising him.

"This disciple was just lucky. I accidentally discovered two hidden valleys with rich Spiritual Qi in the Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden, where the spirit medicines grew extremely luxuriantly. That’s how I was fortunate enough to collect so many," Fang Hong replied humbly.

For these spirit medicines, he had wandered in the central area for several days.

"Hmm, very good, very good." Elder Huang Xiong nodded in satisfaction, with an even greater look of appreciation in his eyes.

Afterward, Fang Hong began to select spirit medicines from them.

He chose the thousand-year medicinal materials required for Solid Essence Pill, Youth-preserving pill, and Heaven Mending Pill, as well as some other precious spirit medicines, totaling four hundred and fifty-six plants. The remaining spirit medicines were all returned to the sect.

At this point, all disciples had completed their distribution, and the trip to Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden came to an end.

"Alright, the trip to Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden is officially over. You may all return. Take your spirit medicines, cultivate diligently, and strive to form your Golden Core as soon as possible!" Elder Huang Xiong waved his hand, signaling that the everyone could leave.

"Yes!" The disciples responded in unison, then left the main hall one after another, returning to their Immortal Caves for secluded Cultivation.

Fang Hong did not linger. He exited the main hall, took out his Fire Dragon Gourd, and ascended into the air, transforming into a streak of light, flying towards his Immortal Cave.

High in the sky, white clouds drifted, and a gentle breeze brushed his face. Fang Hong felt an unprecedented sense of ease and joy.

This trip to Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden not only yielded a large number of precious spirit medicines but also artifact refining materials like golden thunder bamboo, profound iron essence, and Cloud Essence. It could be described as a full harvest.

Most importantly, his Three Revolutions Overlord Art, which he had diligently Cultivated for many years, had broken through to the Third Revolution Perfection in the Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden.

Now, he only needed to refine the Solid Essence Pill, and he could enter secluded Cultivation to attempt a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage.

Before long, Fang Hong arrived at his Immortal Cave. After activating the restriction, he walked directly into the inner chamber.

Fang Hong lay on the bed, simply falling asleep, preparing to rest well and make plans once he was refreshed...

The next day at noon, sunlight streamed into the Immortal Cave, and Fang Hong woke up feeling refreshed.

He walked to a corner, sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, and took out his Cold Moon Cauldron, a jade bottle, and various medicinal materials, preparing to officially begin alchemy.

Fang Hong quickly formed hand seals, and a stream of Innate True Fire steadily entered the Cold Moon Cauldron.

Then, with a flick of his finger, a medicinal material slowly floated up and was gently placed into the cauldron.

Fang Hong’s expression was focused as he carefully controlled the heat, gradually stripping away Impurities and extracting pure medicinal liquid.

Not long after, this medicinal material gradually melted in the flame, eventually transforming into a crystal-clear green medicinal liquid, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.

Seeing that the medicinal material had been successfully extracted, Fang Hong was delighted. This was his first time doing alchemy.

In his opinion, alchemy and artifact refining were not much different; both involved extracting materials and controlling True Fire.

Years of artifact refining experience had already made him adept at controlling heat, so he didn’t feel any awkwardness when refining medicinal pills. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Fang Hong flicked his finger, sending the extracted medicinal liquid into the jade bottle, and then began to extract the next medicinal material.

Repeating this process, in less than half an hour, Fang Hong had finished extracting the medicinal materials for a batch of Youth-preserving pills.

Fang Hong’s expression remained calm, showing no signs of fatigue.

Then, with a flick of his finger, he poured all the medicinal liquid from the jade bottle, put them into the True Fire, and carefully controlled the True Fire to begin melting and blending these medicinal liquids...

Time slowly passed. An hour later, five crystal-clear, blue-glowing medicinal pills slowly floated in the True Fire, shimmering with spiritual light and emitting a rich fragrance.

A batch of Youth-preserving pills was refined.

Fang Hong reached out and gathered the medicinal pills into his palm, unable to hide his joy.

These Youth-preserving pills were refined from thousand-year Spirit Medicines; ordinary cultivators wouldn’t be able to consume them.

Next, Fang Hong took two pills without hesitation. The medicinal pills melted upon entering his mouth, transforming into warm currents that spread throughout his body.

Fang Hong’s entire body emitted a faint white light, which disappeared in an instant, and his body seemed to have undergone some mysterious transformation.

Fang Hong took out a mirror to examine himself. After taking the medicinal pills, his appearance hadn’t changed much. He hoped these medicinal pills could truly keep him youthful...

Fang Hong placed the remaining three Youth-preserving pills into a jade bottle and returned them to his storage bag. According to the pill formula, taking two of these medicinal pills was sufficient for their efficacy.

Fang Hong no longer concerned himself with the Youth-preserving pills. Following the pill formula for Solid Essence Pill, he once again began to extract medicinal materials. He was going to start refining Solid Essence Pills.

Thus, Fang Hong’s alchemy went very smoothly, without a single failure. As time passed, the Solid Essence Pills in the jade box before him gradually increased...

Three days later, the True Fire in the Cold Moon Cauldron had extinguished, and the Solid Essence Pills were refined.

The jade box was neatly filled with yellow medicinal pills, shimmering with spiritual light and emitting a rich medicinal fragrance.

These were the fifty Solid Essence Pills Fang Hong had refined.

Coupled with the hundreds of Demonic Beast spirit pills collected earlier, the medicinal pills he needed for Core Formation were extremely abundant.

Fang Hong opened his eyes and put the Solid Essence Pills back into his storage bag. The resources needed for Core Formation were already fully prepared. Only one last condition remained: he needed a stable environment.

After a moment of thought, Fang Hong took out a pile of artifact refining materials from his storage bag, once again injected True Fire into the Cold Moon Cauldron, and began to refine formation Artifacts...

Another day passed, and Fang Hong successfully refined a complete set of formation Artifacts.

This formation was a defensive Profound Earth Array. Even if a Core Formation Cultivator were to come, it could resist them for a while.

With it set up around his Immortal Cave, Fang Hong could safely undergo Core Formation.

This formation was shared with him by his beloved wife.

Fang Hong stood up, took the formation Artifacts outside his Immortal Cave, arranged the Formation Flags around the Immortal Cave, and placed some spirit stones beneath the Formation Flags.

After activating the formation, a faint golden light cover flashed, enveloping the entire area around the Immortal Cave. Only then did Fang Hong nod in satisfaction.

Now, the medicinal pills, cultivation technique, and a stable environment were all prepared. All that remained was to enter secluded Cultivation...
