Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 312 Dual Cultivation Success

Taipingzong, Qingxin Xiaozhu, is filled with the faint aroma of tea.

"This is wild tea from the mountains. It's bitter at first but sweet later, with a unique flavor. You should try it."

With a gentle expression, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to the Qinghua Lady sitting opposite him.

At this moment, the Blue and White Flower Goddess had transformed into human form, with a graceful figure, snow-white skin, a beautiful face, green hair and emerald eyes, and a blue and white flower adorning her brow, exuding an intangible and captivating aura.

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words and meeting his gaze, Lady Qinghua unconsciously lowered her eyes.

"It's really tough."

She picked up the teacup, took a sip, and felt the rich bitterness spread across her tongue. It seemed that the Blue and White Porcelain Lady's heart was also filled with bitterness, and at this moment, she truly had unspeakable suffering in her heart.

She transformed into a dragon in one fell swoop, fulfilling her long-cherished wish. This should have been a great thing, and she thought she could now live a life of pleasure and roam freely. But unexpectedly, disaster struck. She was caught like a fish and caught up in the water right after her transformation.

What's most disheartening is that the transformation she risked everything for was actually something others deliberately allowed and pushed forward. In some ways, she was no different from a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.

Looking at the Blue and White Porcelain Lady, Jiang Chen shook his head. He roughly guessed what the Blue and White Porcelain Lady was thinking.

In today's environment, everyone who can achieve the Dao Foundation must have an extraordinary will, especially someone like Lady Qinghua who doesn't have a powerful background. If possible, who would be willing to be subservient to others, or even have their life and death in the hands of others?

"Don't worry, I won't trap you to death. The reason I'm sparing your life now is because I value your alchemy skills. You will serve me for thirty years, and after that, you can leave as you please."

"You don't need to worry about me breaking my promise, because in thirty years you will probably be unable to keep up with my pace. Even if you want to stay then, I may not want you. I never have useless people under my command."

With a calm expression, a rare sharp glint flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Qinghua Niangniang looked up abruptly and met Jiang Chen's sharp gaze. Her mind went blank for a moment. These words sounded truly arrogant, but when she thought of the various methods Jiang Chen had displayed, she inexplicably felt that Jiang Chen was not boasting, but stating a fact.

"Thirty years, okay, thirty years it is."

"Qinghua greets you, young master!"

A resolute look appeared on her beautiful face. Lady Qinghua stood up and bowed to Jiang Chen.

Thirty years is not a short time, but in the end it is only half a Jiazi (60 years). As a Dao Foundation cultivator, she has a long lifespan of five Jiazi, so thirty years is not unacceptable to her.

In fact, the conditions Jiang Chen offered were much better than she had originally expected. If she were in Jiang Chen's shoes, she would have tried every means to squeeze him dry, since a prisoner whose life and death are controlled has no right to bargain.

Looking at the blue-and-white porcelain lady, Jiang Chen nodded.

She knew that Lady Qinghua might have other ideas in her heart, but that didn't matter. As long as Lady Qinghua could serve him well, that was enough. If Lady Qinghua wanted to retaliate one day, then they would have to see if she had the teeth to bite back.

"These are some of your things from the past. Take care of your injuries as soon as possible, and then really set up the Pill Hall. I'm quite interested in the twelve second-tier spiritual pills in the Dragon Transformation Pill Scripture."

Without revealing his true intentions, Jiang Chen gave the instructions.

Upon hearing this, Qinghua silently nodded as she accepted the storage bag bestowed upon her by Jiang Chen.

"I will handle these matters as soon as possible, but refining second-tier pills is not an easy task, mainly due to the lack of the necessary spiritual herbs." Quickly adopting the role of the Pill Hall Elder, Lady Qinghua explained her difficulties.

Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. Although she was a genuine second-tier alchemist with high skill, and confident in refining most of the second-tier pills in the Dragon Transformation Pill Scripture, she had only ever actually refined incomplete Dragon Transformation Pills so far. The main reason was that she didn't have enough spiritual herbs to use.

"Go ahead and do it. As for the issue of elixirs, the Taiping Sect will try its best to supply them. If there are none available, just put it aside for now."

Without changing his expression, Jiang Chen offered a solution.

Upon hearing this, Lady Qinghua said no more.

"I hope you can give me a surprise, otherwise all this hard work will be in vain."

Watching Lady Qinghua's departing figure, a look of anticipation flashed across Jiang Chen's face.

Normally, demon cultivators are not as skilled as human cultivators in alchemy and weapon crafting. However, perhaps because she had consumed the Transformation Grass, or perhaps because of her innate talent, Lady Qinghua was quite talented in alchemy, as evidenced by her ability to refine an incomplete version of the Dragon Transformation Pill.

The true Dragon Transformation Pill is a third-grade elixir that can help a dragon transform into a true dragon to a certain extent. The difficulty of refining it is extremely high. However, the fact that Lady Qinghua, who came from an unorthodox background, was able to simplify the Dragon Transformation Pill and refine an incomplete version shows her talent.

Of course, the Dao Foundation she condensed, the Hundred Poisons Heart, was also very important in enabling her to achieve this. This Dao Foundation not only helped her in killing, but also helped her in alchemy, giving her the ability to taste hundreds of herbs and recognize their medicinal properties.

"Now that Lady Qinghua has been subdued, the only remaining threat to the four southern prefectures is the Qingmu family. We need to find a suitable opportunity to eliminate them."

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen glanced at the location of the Qingmu family, then looked away and entered the spirit cave.

Now that the Mist Dragon has condensed three layers of jade towers and comprehended many spiritual techniques, its cultivation has truly embarked on the right track. After accumulating some more time, it can attempt to condense the fourth layer of jade towers without being too hasty.

Now he can focus more on cultivating his physical body and strive to complete the transformation of his true energy as soon as possible.

"With the Ice Heart Mantra and the Clear Heart Spring, comprehending the Jade Pot Danxia Manual is not difficult for me. The real trouble is with Peach Blossom. However, given the compatibility between Peach Blossom and me, plus the Bird Taming Secret Technique, it is not impossible for it to learn the Jade Pot Danxia Manual."

With a series of thoughts swirling in his mind, Jiang Chen made a plan and took a sip of the Clear Mind Spring.

With a whoosh, the Clear Heart Spring water flowed down his throat, its divine power spreading outwards. All distracting thoughts were washed away, and Jiang Chen's mind became pure at an extremely fast speed, allowing him to better enter a state of cultivation.

As time passed and true energy evolved, a breath of cinnabar energy was generated in Jiang Chen's dantian. As this breath of cinnabar energy circulated, a layer of red light appeared on Jiang Chen's face.

"Peach Blossom, help me."

A sudden inspiration struck Jiang Chen, and he uttered a call.

Upon sensing Jiang Chen's call, Tao Yao's consciousness quickly merged with Jiang Chen's without the slightest hesitation.

In that instant, the profound mysteries of the Jade Pot Crimson Cloud Manual were simultaneously reflected in the hearts of both the human and the demon. With Jiang Chen's guidance, Tao Yao quickly comprehended the Jade Pot Crimson Cloud Manual, and the whole process was incredibly smooth.

A moment later, their true energy merged, and the wonders of the cinnabar cloud flowed between Jiang Chen and Tao Yao, constantly refining their true energy and cleansing their bodies.
