Chapter 53: The Art of Rejuvenation of All Things

Xia Junxi had a lot of insights. When she returned to the new cave that night, she suddenly felt inspired and wrote down some thoughts on cultivation.

Before she was starting her practice, Peach Blossom Fairy reminded her that spiritual beast egg of dragon ape already hatched.

Xia Jinxi's mind moved, and the pink peach blossom mark on her wrist flashed a pink light, and Xia Jinxi disappeared into the room.

As soon as Xia Jinxi appeared in the small space, what greeted her is a baby dragon ape with golden hair and red eyes as a characteristic of adult dragon ape she has seen before, with fire spiritual roots like the others.

This is really a good time to hatch, as she has already decide to do the alchemy. She thinks she need to do the alchemy task before as she doesn't have fire spiritual roots and need to borrow Earth Fire Room in Alchemy Peak.

But now she have dragon ape with fire spiritual roots, she can do the alchemy herself. Just as she was wondering what to do next, a very weak thought came over.

  "Master, nice to meet you, please name me"

Xia Jinxi was a little surprised, looking at baby dragon ape in front of her, could it be that the spirit beast talking to her in her mind? Then she remember in manual before, as she already have a contract with spiritual beast, it can transmit it's thought to her mind.

She tried to ask: "Do you know I'm your master?"

After a while, a thought came, "When I hatched before, I have connection and I know this is connection with my master"

She responded quickly, "Okay. Now that I am your master,I will treat you well. Let's start giving you a name. What about I call you Xiao Hong as I will depend on your fire power from now on"

"Yes master, please depend on me", Xiao Hong answered with vigor, it want to become stronger so that his master can depend on him, he set a goal for himself.

Xia Jinxi, who didn't know her word become motivation for a baby dragon ape, now preparing spiritual plant from the space and alchemy furnace. For the first time, she decide to refine a first-grade Qi-invigorating pill to increase spiritual power, and a first-grade blood-clotting pill for healing.

When everything was ready, she asked Xiao Hong to control a fire not big and not small under alchemy furnace. After a long time until Xiao Hong proficient in controlling the heat of fire. She's ready to start.

At this moment, a wave of heat came over her, and the fire was burning vigorously. The alchemy furnace was hanging in the air.

  Xia Jinxi took out the first batch of blood coagulation pill refining materials from the storage bag, carefully recalled the steps of alchemy mentioned in the jade slip, and sat cross-legged in front of the futon.

  The first step was to purify the medicinal materials, control the furnace fire to the appropriate temperature, and pinch the exclusive alchemy formula to precipitate all the impurities in the three materials of blood coagulation grass, wood flower, and mulberry spirit branch.

  This process lasted for one incense stick and was relatively smooth. The second step was to start the fusion of medicinal materials.

  There is a sequence for fusion, and the fusion of different materials requires different temperatures. She really need to command Xiao Hong for it. If there is a mistake, all the previous efforts will be wasted.

  After three incense sticks, Xia Jinxi completed the fusion of medicinal materials without any danger, and started the last step, condensing the pill.

  This step still focuses on controlling the temperature, and the whole process requires mobilizing one's own fire spirit power as a medium to guide the condensation of the pill.

  Less than half a cup of tea later, a burning smell came from the furnace.

  Xia Jinxi frowned and stopped refining the pill, but she was not too disappointed with the result.

"I'm sorry master, because I can't control the fire well...", Weak voice full of self blame come from Xiao Hong

"It's alright Xiao Hong, practice make perfect, let's practice hard"

  After all, it was the first time to try to refine the pill, and failure was normal.

Next Xia Jinxi and Xiao Hong work hard at familiarizing themself with alchemy method.

After closing her eyes and summarizing, she took out the next batch of materials and continued to refine, incense sticks later, a fragrance floated out of the furnace. The furnace was successfully refined!

"We succeed, good job Xiao Hong"

"Yes master", Xiao Hong answered happily.

  Xia Jinxi cast a spell and waved it towards the furnace. In an instant, six thumb-sized, white, round and plump pills flew out of the furnace.

  A furnace of pills is full of ten pills, and now there are only six left, indicating that there are still losses.

  But Xia Jinxi didn't care about this at the moment. Practice makes perfect. With a successful precedent, she believed that it would get better and better next time.

  After closing her eyes and thinking, she summed up, and then she started the furnace again and began to refine the next batch of materials

   Just like this, two days and two nights passed, and Xia Jinxi stop her alchemy with a happy face. She succeed, a total of nine furnaces of Qi-boosting pills and blood-clotting pills were successfully refined.

From then onward Xia Jinxi made alchemy during the day and practiced at night, without a day of rest.

  Every night, Xia Jinxi first quietly summarized the results of alchemy during the day, and then went to the couch, clasped her hands, sat cross-legged, and actively circulated the spiritual power around her body, starting from the dantian, constantly wandering through the meridians of the whole body, and then returning to the dantian, and then starting from the dantian to wander through the meridians. Only by repeating this cycle over and over again can one make one's meridians strong and wide, and accommodate more spiritual energy.

  The stronger and wider the meridians are, the more spiritual energy they can accommodate, and the stronger the spiritual energy reserves in the body will be.

  This way of cultivation is the so-called pure cultivation, and it is also the basic skill that every cultivator must master.

  Most of the rookies in the early stage of Qi training use this pure cultivation method to lay the foundation, and then they will choose the appropriate method and continue to practice according to the unique method recorded in the method.

  She has also specially practiced a wood-attributed method called "The Art of Rejuvenation of All Things". This is what she find among the sixteen jade slips from Master Yunhua Yuanjun. What she never expected is that this seemingly simple technique rank Earth-level, second only to Heaven-level technique.

  There are three reasons for practicing this "The Art of Rejuvenation of All Things". One is that this method can revive those spiritual herbs that are about to die. Of course, this is not the main reason.

The second reason is because when she decided to practice Ice Phoenix Divine Art, there's reminder divine formula is only for ice spirit root cultivators to practice, and the skills are powerful and easy to backfire on the body. It is recommended to practice a gentle skill as a supplement. And technique "The Art of Rejuvenation of All Things" is the most gentle and can support the body from backfire of this divine art.

  The third reason is that practicing this technique can widen the cultivator's meridians, greatly enhance the cultivator's spiritual power reserves, and replenish the cultivator's depleted spiritual power to a certain extent. Moreover, if this rejuvenation technique is practiced to the right level, it can even replenish the cultivator's dissipated vitality!  

  However, although this technique is powerful, it can only be practiced by cultivators with wood spiritual roots. As cultivators have limited energy, many cultivators choose to practice one or two techniques with strong offensive power, and generally do not look at the rejuvenation technique that assists in combat.

  And this rejuvenation technique is not a common technique, as this is Earth-level, but because this technique does not describe several key points in detail and the later stage of advancement is extremely difficult and slow, it has discouraged many people from practicing.

  When she first reading this technique, there's warning that mention this technique was not very useful at first, and it had to be cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage before it could be of great use, but at least it had to be cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage to reflect its true value.

  But the one who practiced this rejuvenation technique, after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, his combat power was always as good as that of the sword cultivators of the same level.

  Nascent Soul? Xia Jinxi thought for a long time, and thought of the great benefits that could be brought by practicing the technique to the later stage, so she firmly practiced this rejuvenation technique.

  Anyway, she has both ice and wood spiritual roots. The wood spiritual root is used to practice this powerful auxiliary technique, and the ice spiritual root is reserved for attack power.

  After practicing for a year, she has made some progress. In addition to refining pills during the day, Xia Jinxi also insists on taking care of the medicinal fields in the space.

  Taking care of the medicinal fields is to better comprehend the rejuvenation formula.

  In the space, some are delicate spiritual grass seeds, and some are spiritual grass roots that are about to wilt.

  Many spiritual herbs can only grow well in a specific suitable or even harsh environment. Spiritual herbs that can be grown easily are worthless, and those that are everywhere can be classified as weeds.

  Therefore, many high-level cultivators' medicine gardens need special disciples to take care of them, and they need to apply rain and wind every day, and even use fire control and frost condensation to control the temperature around the spiritual herbs.

   Xia Jinxi has done her best for the seeds and seedlings of spiritual herbs. She first planted them in different areas according to their properties and habits, and then practiced the "Rejuvenation Technique of All Things" to carefully protect those delicate and dying seedlings.

  It is shallow to learn from books, and you must practice it yourself to know it. The Rejuvenation Technique is so mysterious that she need to practice it herself and understand the mysteries and subtleties of the techniques in order to benefit from it.

  Moreover, practicing the Rejuvenation Technique is far from a one-day job. In the initial stage of the technique, she need to circulate the wood spiritual power in her body and slowly input it into the spiritual plants. When the wood spiritual power nourishes the spiritual plants, it is refined by the spiritual plants and becomes a purer wood spiritual power, which slowly returns to the cultivator's body.

  This cycle repeats over and over again, day by day, and the technique can be gradually mastered.

  Thinking back to few cultivator have mastered this technique, probably because they lack the patience to practice the delicate work in the field.

  After all, there are thousands of strange cultivation techniques in the world, and there are thousands of strange ways to practice. The way of practicing with swords and chopping is a hundred times more decent and arbitrary than raising grass in the field.

  But thinking that after forming a Yuanying, the combat power will not be inferior to that of the sword cultivators of the same level, Xia Jinxi had to grit her teeth and persist in practicing this fierce auxiliary technique.

  God will not let down those who work hard. After several months, after failing again and again, and failing again, Xia Jinxi, who had collapsed several times, finally succeeded in cultivating dozens of rare spiritual plants.

  Xia Jinxi was very happy. Not only did her technique improve greatly, but those dozens of spiritual plants were all extra gains from her practice, especially these were rare spiritual herbs. The value of the herbs alone could be exchanged for dozens mid-grade spiritual tool, and her alchemy material was stable.
