Chapter 6: The Fire of True Qi

  Shen Xiang's cultivated Green Dragon God Technique is of the Wood attribute, containing the mighty life force of the Green Dragon True Qi which greatly aids in the growth of spiritual herbs. Moreover, within the Green Dragon God Technique lies a special auxiliary technique for cultivating medicine called "Dragon Saliva Technique". After executing the "Dragon Saliva Technique", one can condense a mysterious ** through the Green Dragon True Qi within their body, and that ** can accelerate the growth of spiritual herbs.

  And the Vermilion Bird Divine Technique he cultivated could release flames, which was a flame released through the cultivation of divine techniques, and naturally, alchemy was not a problem.

  The Four Symbol Divine Art encompasses all things and contains many powerful techniques that Shen Xiang cannot cultivate due to his insufficient strength.

  Shen Xiang now had three thousand large spirit coins, equivalent to thirty million small spirit coins. However, this was still not enough to buy a single ordinary middle-grade marrow washing pill, showing just how expensive the pills were. They were absolutely not something that an average warrior could afford, and even the cheapest pills were like this.

  The entire Wohu City only has one place that specializes in selling elixirs, which is the Lingdan Pavilion. It's a four-story building, although it's not very big, but the things sold inside are all very expensive. Moreover, behind the Lingdan Pavilion, there is a large garden of over 100 hectares, which is specifically used for cultivating spiritual herbs.

  Lingdan Pavilion is not a family-style force, but it's not weak either. There are many masters inside, most of whom are stationed in Lingdan Pavilion for the sake of alchemy, and the alchemists inside are revered like ancestors. After all, elixirs are very rare, but their benefits are great, allowing warriors to improve their cultivation, increase their strength, and make their bodies even stronger.

  Shen Xiang arrived at the Spirit Dan Pavilion, where the air was filled with the fragrance of medicine that refreshed one's mind and spirit, making people who came to select and purchase dan medicines feel very comfortable.

  There are many counters in it, each counter sells different Dan medicine, some only sell Lingdan, and some only sell Lingyao.

  Before Shen Xiang arrived, Su Mei Yao had already told him to start with the lowest-grade elixir, so he planned to refine the mortal-level lower-grade "Tempering Body Elixir". This elixir was both cheap and in high demand, with one pill costing around 700 large spirit coins. It would be of great help to anyone below the fourth realm of the Mortal Martial Realm.

  "This young master, the spiritual elixir is over there, this place specializes in selling spiritual medicine!" A sweet and beautiful woman behind a counter said with a smile.

  There aren't many people in the Spiritual Elixir Pavilion, and Shen Xiang's casual stroll inside is quite eye-catching. However, the people inside the pavilion have extremely good attitudes, and even if they see Shen Xiang wearing simple clothes, they absolutely won't look down on him. This is because the Spiritual Elixir Pavilion has had many hidden talents appear before, who are usually very ordinary-looking.

  "I want to buy some refined Quan Ti Dan Ling medicine seedlings, do you know if they are sold here?" Shen Xiang walked over and asked the beautiful woman.

  Few people come to buy seedlings, because there are not many people who can plant spiritual medicine. Those who have the ability to plant generally need to come and buy, as most of them are affiliated with a large force, responsible for managing the medicine garden and refining elixirs within it. They are all treated as treasures by one side of the force and rarely go out in public.

  The woman was slightly surprised, but still smiled sweetly and said: "Of course there is. Refining the Tempering Body Pill requires four materials, all of which are equally priced. The sprouts are relatively cheaper, one hundred large spirit coins per plant."

  The medicinal materials needed for Tempering Body Dan are "Qinglingcao", "Xueyuanhua", "Xuanninghua" and "Lingye Grass".

  Shen Xiang thought for a moment and said, "Bring me five servings."

  Four hundred taels of silver is a lot, and five times that amount would be two thousand. Shen Tianhu's three thousand taels of silver were reduced by half in an instant; this elixir was indeed not something ordinary people could afford to waste.

  The woman was shocked again, she couldn't think of which young master in Wohu City started practicing alchemy at a young age and also knew how to cultivate medicine.

  "Wait a minute, I'll go get it for you!" The woman wasn't worried that Shen Xiang was joking with her, as there were also people who joked around in the Lingdan Pavilion, only the consequences were very serious.

  "Who is this?" A handsome young man wearing elegant white clothes and holding a folding fan walked down from the stairs, looking at Shen Xiang with disdain.

  The upper floor of Lingdan Pavilion sells even higher-grade elixirs, and those who can go up are all honored guests of Lingdan Pavilion.

  "Are your eyes on your butt or on your mouth? You're talking nonsense with your eyes wide open." Shen Xiang said with a smirk.

  That young man was Shen Zhenhua. He and Shen Xiang were of the same age, and he too was a person with exceptional talent. At a very young age, he had already entered the fourth level of the Mortal Martial Realm, and was preparing to enter the fifth level.

  Shen Zhenhua's face immediately turned green: "Shen Xiang, I admit that you were very powerful when we were young, but you don't have spiritual veins now. I can take care of you with just one hand!"

  Shen Xiang is now at the fifth level of the Mortal Martial Realm, and anyone below the fourth level, no matter how strong they are, is absolutely not his opponent. He naturally regards this statement as a joke.

  "Is this Shen Xiang? The grandson of the Shen family head? It's said that he can enter the Mortal Martial Realm third level without any spiritual veins, I suppose it's all just piled up with elixirs!" A stunningly beautiful girl behind Shen Zhenhua glanced at Shen Xiang with a disdainful gaze.

  Shen Xiang recognized the woman, she was the daughter of the lord of Wotou City.

  "It's really a case of birds of a feather flocking together, I didn't expect the city lord's daughter to be so shallow and end up with someone like him." Shen Xiang said with a fake smile, then ignored them. He now had absolute power, having endured years of cold ridicule and hot mockery, striving hard to gain strength, and in his heart was much more mature than these competitive young men and women.

  Seeing Shen Xiang turn his head and ignore them, both Shen Zhenhua and the girl were somewhat indignant. Shen Zhenhua also wanted to show off in front of the city lord's daughter, so he walked towards Shen Xiang.

  "Sir, here is the spiritual medicine sprout you wanted." The woman walked over and pulled out many paper-wrapped items from her storage bag.

  Shen Xiang actually came to buy spiritual medicine seedlings! This made Shen Zhenhua somewhat surprised, but he sneered and said: "Shen Xiang, you don't have a spiritual vein, so don't even think about planting spiritual medicine. Don't tell me you want to be an alchemist, that's just ridiculous."

  Inside Lingdan Pavilion, there weren't many people, but neither were there few. They were all extremely quiet. At this moment, they heard that a person without spiritual veins wanted to become an alchemist and couldn't help but curiously look over.

  Shen Xiang's reputation in the city was not small, after all his grandfather was the patriarch of the clan and his father was a famous figure, but he alone did not have spiritual veins, so many people sighed when talking about Shen family's patriarch or Shen Tianhu.

  Shen Xiang remained silent, paid the money and carefully collected the spiritual medicine seedlings, ignoring the gazes of the crowd. Just as he was about to leave, Shen Zhenhua sneered, "A useless person, no matter how much spiritual medicine is used, it's all in vain."

  Shen Xiang furrowed his brow and said that he had no spiritual pulse, and a few teasing words would be fine, but when he was told to his face that he was useless, he couldn't tolerate it.

  Everyone saw the Shen family's children fighting and was delighted in their hearts because they knew there would be a good show to watch!

  Shen Xiang turned around, looking at Shen Zhenhua who was being arrogant. He spread his five fingers and suddenly a flame burst out from the palm of his hand. The scorching air surged in all directions, making many people feel like they were in a steamer in just an instant.

  Inside the Spiritual Elixir Pavilion, there were many people with sharp eyesight. They all knew that this flame was extraordinary and absolutely perfect for refining elixirs.

  "Shen Zhenhua, dare you try this useless thing's true fire of Qi?" Shen Xiang's face was expressionless, his voice cold and gloomy.

  The true energy fire can only be condensed through the practice of rare and special skills, or it is innate to understand how to transform the true energy into flames.

  Shen Zhenhua was very close to Shen Xiang, and at this moment he was covered in sweat, and the beautiful woman at the counter was also so, her thin clothes were soaked with fragrant sweat, outlining a tempting curve.

  This fierce flame shocked everyone in the entire Spiritual Dan Pavilion, leaving them stunned and motionless.
