Chapter 353 The Origin of the White Ghost
Most importantly, of course, are all those bottles and jars in Yuqiong.

Without much thought, Pei Xia took two bottles of Nourishing Spirit Pills.

These were all refined by him when he was at the Long Whale Gate. Actually, the quantity wasn't that large, since he didn't expect them to be so useful back then.

Pei Xia quickly counted the pills as she took them. If each bottle contained six pills, there were seven bottles of Nourishing Spirit Pills, but only two bottles of Spring Essence Pills. In the end, she hadn't even carried as many as Zhao Beishi and the others.

Unfortunately, the ingredients for Yangchun Dan were not cheap, and we didn't take advantage of the stinky water to cultivate it, so we suffered a loss.

Considering that this elixir would easily attract envy in Qinzhou, Pei Xia even counted out ten more Yangchun Pills from his possession and added them to the pill.

All you need is spiritual power to open the Jade Jade when needed; that can be achieved with a quick hand and feet using the Spirit Nourishing Pill.

There were quite a few cultivation aid pills inside, such as Body Tempering Pill, Qi Condensation Pill, and Yuan Nourishing Pill, but they were useless in Qinzhou. Pei Xia also picked up a bottle of Injury Removal Pill. Including the Huangqi Pill from before, at least they had a way to deal with external injuries.

In just a short while, more than half of the spiritual energy in the inner cauldron had been consumed.

Pei Xia scanned the jade pendant again. Although there were quite a few things inside, they were mostly piles of calculation cores. With his current spiritual power, he dared not attempt to enter the Jade Palace of the Azure Sky, so these were useless.

Secondly, there are all sorts of spiritual materials, such as Black Eye Jade, Radiant Moonstone, and Dragon Heart Vine... These would all be considered treasures in other states, but in Qin State, they are useless for alchemy and weapon crafting.

However, something in the corner that Pei Xia had almost forgotten about suddenly brought him joy.

Those were surplus spiritual plants cultivated in the cave using foul water when the Hunling Pill was first being refined. There were translucent Xuanji grass and jade ginseng as big as radishes.

The Xuanji Grass is grown by irrigating with the juice of the Spirit Stone Grass, while the Jade Ginseng is produced by the mutation of the Red Ginseng in the rich spiritual energy. Relying on Dugu Nong's Glazed Immortal Elixir, Pei Xia has a considerable amount of it.

Unlike the Dragon Heart Vine, these two spiritual plants, although they also have some acquisition barriers, are not of a high level, which means they can be eaten directly.

Even disregarding any spiritual energy or medicinal properties, if a ginseng grows to the size of a radish, why can't it be considered a vegetable? Just tell me if it's filling or not!

What delighted Pei Xia even more was that beneath the Xuanji Grass and Emerald Ginseng, there was a small mountain of Spirit View Seeds.

This was planted secretly by Li Zi and Lao Han when Pei Xia was in seclusion. They said that once it produced rice, it would be useful for the cultivation of younger generations by aristocratic families and sects, and it was something that would never have trouble finding a market.

But to their surprise, the stinky water worked incredibly well, causing every plant to burst into seeds. In the end, the seeds piled up in Pei Xia's cave, and after several months of consumption, the number of plants didn't decrease.

It's a pity that I was too disgusted with this thing at the time and didn't put in much. This jade pot probably weighs only about 20 pounds - enough for two people to eat for a while.

Knowing what was going on, Pei Xia didn't rush to take it. She just took two radishes and planned to make a soup to warm her stomach later.

The spiritual energy provided by the single Yangchun Pill was almost depleted.

He merely glanced at the truly valuable items in the Jade Orchid: the Divine Mechanism, the Brain Worm, the Netherworld Flower, and the Glazed Immortal Elixir.

His gaze lingered only on the nine exceptionally bright, crimson blood beads.

The Pure Blood of the Sea Patrol God.

Speaking of spiritual power, a single Yangchun Pill isn't even worthy of carrying a drop of pure blood's shoes.

However, this spiritual energy is usually not something that the human body can directly absorb and utilize.

Pei Xia could only keep this matter to herself. In Qinzhou, perhaps this massive amount of spiritual energy could have other wonderful uses.

Even if all else fails, and you really encounter a desperate situation, you can use this as a last resort.

The inner cauldron's spiritual power was finally exhausted, and the jade cauldron closed. Pei Xia looked up and let out a long breath.

In any case, now that he has a stable supply of spiritual energy and can open the Jade Pendant at any time, it will definitely be of great help to his activities in Qin Prefecture.

The forest was dark, and the sky began to darken, as if it were about to rain again.

Jiang Shu stood up, leaning against a tree. He glanced at the sky and said to Pei Xia, "Let's find a place to take shelter from the rain."

That's what he said, but actually he was still wary because this place wasn't far enough from Sishui Town.

If the people of Qin wanted to live a long life, they had to be careful.

Pei Xia beckoned Feng Yao to follow, then took a few steps ahead and handed him a healing pill: "For healing injuries."

Jiang Shu took it, somewhat surprised: "Is this also from those bottles?" "No, it's mine."

"Where did you come from?"

"Don't worry."

Jiang Shu frowned, stared at the medicine in his hand for a while, but didn't take it.

Pei Xia realized what was happening, but she wasn't angry. She reached out and took the pill back, broke it in half, and took half of it herself.

Jiang Shu was stunned when she saw him taking drugs, and said in a muffled voice, "Sorry, I was a bit ungrateful."

Pei Xia didn't say anything, but handed the medicine back to him and patted him on the shoulder.

Jiang Shu did not have any special favors towards Pei Xia, and even benefited from Pei Xia's influence quite a bit.

But from another perspective, as Pei Xia learned more and more about Qinzhou, he also knew very well that if he hadn't met Jiang Shu at the beginning, the situation might be a hundred times worse now.

It's already a rare thing to have someone you can trust.

……

The sky darkened quickly, with large swaths of dark clouds gathering and descending low, as if pressing down on the earth.

A thunderclap pierced the sky, and a pale light illuminated the entire town in an instant.

Then a torrential downpour began.

A silver spear pierced through the air, drenched in rain, and passed through the heads of four white demons, embedding itself heavily in the ground.

The white horse strolled leisurely, stepping over puddles, and stopped beside the spear, carrying a tall, slender figure on its back.

Li Qing was not wearing armor today, but was dressed in a neat jade-colored embroidered outfit. With her long hair flowing in the wind, she looked dashing and dazzling.

She raised her hand and picked up her gun, giving it a casual shake as usual.

But there was neither blood nor rain on the gun.

It's normal that there's no rain. She's the slayer of ten thousand men in the military strategist class. Especially after the Dragon Cauldron shattered, the military strategist class of Qinzhou is almost invincible on this land. Their military strength is so great that even without deliberate provocation, rain dares not drip on her.

Including the spear she dropped.

This is "momentum," a domineering force completely different from spiritual power.

But the absence of blood made Li Qing raise an eyebrow.

She glanced at the scattered corpses of the white ghosts beside the horse's hooves, then looked at the tall woman kneeling on the ground, pinned down by a sword, not far away.

The white horse stepped forward slowly and gracefully, while the general looked down at her and asked, "Where did you get this strange thing?"

She was naturally asking about the white ghost on the ground.

Coincidentally, Pei Xia, an outsider from another state, had a lot of biased views about Qin State when he first arrived. He easily accepted the White Ghosts, seeing them as just one of the many strange things in Qin State.

Li Qing, a native of Qin with impeccable revolutionary credentials, paid unusual attention to the White Ghost.

They don't eat or drink, they're not afraid of pain or death, and they surpass young and strong soldiers in both strength and speed. They even have claws of their own and don't need to be equipped with weapons.

As the general of Qinzhou, she understood all too well what this meant.

In a dilapidated town like Sishui, there are hundreds of white ghosts like this... Li Qing raised the tip of his spear and pressed it against her chin, forcing her to look up at him.

At this moment, she really hoped that the woman in front of her could proudly tell her that she had researched this method herself.

Unfortunately, the woman from the Qi family gave a sinister laugh and uttered the name she least wanted to hear.

"Li Xu".
