Junior sister, I really need to control you

"The pill that True Person Tianding has been unable to complete is called the Life-Giving Creation Pill. It is recorded in an ancient pill formula that the Bixiao lineage obtained decades ago."

"Its greatest effect is that it can bring the dead back to life, heal flesh and bones, and restore all injuries to a cultivator, from the physical body to the soul, making the cultivator's soul and body seem to be reborn."

"Furthermore, during the recovery process, cultivators can take this opportunity to re-examine all their past cultivation and foundation, and correct all the imperfections in their previous cultivation."

"So this Life-Giving and Creation Pill can restore my cultivation level," Li Yinsheng said.

"To be precise, it's about breaking down and rebuilding. Not only will it restore cultivation, but it might also allow one to condense a Dharma body!" Shangguan Ling'er said.

Mu Xiaoyu didn't understand what a Dharma form was, but she didn't dare to interrupt. She just continued to hold Jiang Ningzhi's hand and gave her a smile that said, "Uncle-Master, listen, you'll recover soon."

Li Yinsheng was not as optimistic as her. Although he had a solution, he still frowned.

"Leaving aside how precious such a divine object is, according to Fellow Daoist Shangguan, this divine pill should not have been refined yet?"

Shangguan Ling'er nodded: "Master Tianding has been in seclusion for twelve years and has not yet formed a pill. However, I think this pill will be formed sooner or later."

"Fellow Daoist Shangguan is so certain, could it be that you know some inside information?" Li Yinsheng asked.

"This matter is not exactly an inside story; many people in the Bixiao lineage know about it. True Person Tianding's Daoist partner is the fourth elder of the Bixiao lineage, who suffered a severe injury twenty years ago and nearly died."

"The Fourth Elder's condition is much worse than Ningzhi's; he is still barely surviving thanks to a special magic treasure from the Bixiao lineage."

"The reason why True Person Tianding wanted to refine this Life-Giving and Creation Pill was mainly to save his Daoist partner."

"However, because it also serves to rebuild the foundation of cultivators, the lineage values ​​it highly and spares no effort to provide True Person Tianding with all the treasures needed for alchemy."

Shangguan Ling'er said, "At that time, the Life-Giving and Creation Pill will be completed in one batch, and there should be five to seven pills. One pill will be used first to save the Daoist partner of True Person Tianding, and the rest will be kept and distributed by the Bixiao lineage."

"With the full support of the entire lineage, the completion of this Life-Giving and Creation Pill should only be a matter of time."

"I see. With an entire lineage supporting it, it is indeed very difficult." Li Yinsheng nodded, but his brows remained furrowed.

"But even if one masters it, the Azure Cloud Dharma Lineage probably won't be easily sold or exchanged, right?"

“That’s the troublesome part,” Shangguan Ling’er said with a wry smile. “If it were a pill from our Zhengyang lineage, I could give it a try.”

"But the Bixiao lineage and the Zhengyang lineage belong to different Dao palaces, so there is not much friendship between them. I have no fellow Daoists in the Bixiao lineage."

"Besides, this is a pill that can help people rebuild their foundation. Even if it's not for rebuilding their foundation, it can be used to save their lives in critical moments."

"It is so precious that even the Bixiao lineage itself doesn't have enough to go around, so there's no reason for it to be easily given to other lineages."

Jiang Ningzhi remained silent for a long time before saying softly, "Besides, even if the Bixiao lineage were willing to sell or exchange it, it would probably be at an astronomical price."

"We still have to change it!" Mu Xiaoyu said subconsciously. "We have to help our martial uncle recover his cultivation!"

Just as she opened her mouth, a resounding bell rang in Li Yinsheng's ears.

[The ambition of cultivation: Since the master of the cave is a disciple of Xuanzhen Temple, when his master's cultivation was completely destroyed but a glimmer of hope appeared, he should seize the opportunity!]

I obtained a Life-Giving and Creation Pill. I used this pill to restore my uncle's cultivation and help him break through his current state to rebuild his strength, turning misfortune into fortune and bringing blessings to the entire Xuanzhen Temple!

Alternatively, other methods can be found to help the master restore his cultivation, thus fulfilling his cultivation aspirations. However, if the restoration effect is not as good as the Life-Giving and Creation Pill, the reward will be deducted depending on the circumstances.

However, because his cultivation has been completely destroyed, his lifespan has been greatly shortened. We request the Lord of the Grotto-Heaven to restore his cultivation or prolong his lifespan as soon as possible.

The training will be terminated once my master dies by any means, including dying of old age.

Cultivation Rewards:

The Martial Uncle was given two hundred years of cultivation as a reward for completely restoring his cultivation and rebuilding it from the ashes using the Life-Giving and Creation Pill.

He fully restored his martial uncle's cultivation through other means, but did not achieve a complete transformation; he was rewarded with eighty years of cultivation.

The martial uncle will partially restore his cultivation, and will be rewarded with cultivation points depending on the specific extent of the restoration.

Jiang Ningzhi's remaining lifespan: approximately eight years and six months.

Looking at the golden characters unfolding before him, Li Yinsheng remained expressionless, though a slight thought stirred within him.

For the first time, he didn't focus on the difficulty or the reward.

He closed his eyes so that others wouldn't notice, his gaze fixed on a point in the void—

The last line in gold indicates the remaining lifespan of Uncle Jiang.

He knew that cultivators whose cultivation had been greatly damaged would inevitably have their lifespan reduced, but he never imagined that his uncle would only have less than nine years left to live.

Chapter 90 Three months later, the withered and flourishing spirit...

In front of the main hall of Xuanzhen Temple.

Li Yinsheng and Shangguan Ling'er were discussing Dao under the eaves of the main hall, while Mu Xiaoyu, holding the Cold Leaf Sword, was practicing the Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword.

She practiced even harder than Li Yinsheng had expected.

He originally thought that with the help of the Blood Refining Pivot, it would be quite fast if his junior sister could completely refine the mother worm in seven or eight months.

But now, only three months have passed, and she has already refined half of the mother insect, and her cultivation has increased by twelve or thirteen years.

Adding to her original ten years of cultivation, she now has more than twenty years of cultivation, surpassing Li Yinsheng before she met him.

She has now reached the fifth level of the Qingxuan True Scripture.

Li Yinsheng estimated that after another three months, when she had completely refined the mother worm, she should be able to reach the sixth level.

Then I can give her the Cold Bright Sword and the brass incense burner.

For Li Yinsheng, who is now a Great Immortal, these two high-grade magic artifacts are no longer of any use.

At that time, although my junior sister's cultivation level will not be able to unleash the true power of a high-grade magic weapon, it will be sufficient for her to make initial use of it.

In addition, her Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword has been mastered to have thirty-one sword lights.

For Li Yinsheng, who has now mastered 512 sword beams, guiding his junior sister in cultivating the Splitting Light Sword is an extremely simple task.

This was only because he had his junior sister focus her main energy on cultivation; otherwise, the sword light should have exceeded thirty-five.

However, if she adds another sword light, reaching thirty-two, she will receive a reward of sixteen years of cultivation.

Li Yinsheng currently lacks a magical artifact that can assist his cultivation like the Blood Refining Pivot, so directly claiming the reward would be a slight loss. Therefore, he needs to go to the Forging Furnace Temple first.

He originally planned to visit the Casting Furnace Temple within a month of returning, but Shangguan Ling'er's appearance disrupted his plans.

Although he directly learned the Six Explanations of Withering and Flourishing and a large number of annotations through the jade slip of his consciousness, the cultivation method is not something that can be mastered simply by thinking about it.

No matter how moderate and peaceful the Qingxuan True Scripture is, and how easy it is to practice, it still requires a process.

Although Shangguan Ling'er's main cultivation was not the Six Explanations of Withering and Flourishing, she cultivated the Way of the Five Elements, and the wood element part of it had many references for her own Six Explanations of Withering and Flourishing.

Therefore, she was able to provide a lot of guidance when Li Yinsheng switched majors.

For the past three months, Shangguan Ling'er has been staying at Xuanzhen Temple, discussing Daoist principles with Li Yinsheng every day, so he has temporarily put aside his plan to go to Zhulu Temple.

Although she claimed that her energy was spread across the five elements and that she did not focus on any one element, in actual discussions, Li Yinsheng was certain that her mastery of the wood element alone surpassed that of Langya, who specialized in both wood and wind magic.

If she possesses this level of expertise in the other four elements, as well as the overall interaction and interrelationships of the five elements, then that would be truly astonishing.

Moreover, perhaps because of the connection with her martial uncle and because Li Yinsheng had practiced her family's martial arts, she rarely concealed anything from Li Yinsheng when they were together.

According to her own account, apart from the Wood element which referenced the Six Explanations of Withering and Flourishing, she also referenced four other immortal cultivation methods of similar quality for the other four elements.

Thanks to her guidance on the Way of Wood, Li Yinsheng only spent three months transforming his foundation in the Pure Profound Scripture into the foundation of the Six Unifications of Withering and Flourishing.

He is currently at the Divine Travel Realm. After switching cultivation methods, he directly cultivated the Six Unifications of Withering and Flourishing into one withering and one flourishing, and is currently at the second level of the Withering Realm.

Afterwards, one must first cultivate to the second level of the Glory Realm, and then perfect the second level of the Glory Realm as well, and then one can break through to the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Although cultivators in the Dry Realm do not excel in combat power, even now, while he is still in the Dry Realm, the quality and quantity of his magical power are far superior to what they were before he switched to cultivation.

Furthermore, before completing the transformation, he did not waste the Pure Profound Divine Light, and helped his junior sister to completely complete the Cleansing and Marrow Cleansing of the Pure Profound Divine Light.

If you want to improve further in the future, you will need to find some more advanced marrow cleansing methods than the Pure Profound Divine Light.

"Yinsheng," Shangguan Ling'er said, "didn't you say you were going to the Casting Furnace Temple? When are you going?"

"It's today," Li Yinsheng said. "Would Miss Shangguan like to come along?"

Over the past three months, she and Li Yinsheng have become quite familiar with each other. They have gone from calling each other "fellow Daoist" to her calling Li Yinsheng by his name, while Li Yinsheng calls her "Miss Shangguan".

“Since we have nothing else to do, let’s go together,” Shangguan Ling’er said with a smile. “We can ask them if they have any way to repair Ningzhi’s White Rainbow Sword.”

“If they can’t do anything, you’ll have to come with me to the Dharma lineage,” she said, toying with a small, dark-colored Ruyi in her palm. “But the Dharma lineage is quite far from here.”

"Hopefully, the Casting Furnace Temple has a solution," Li Yinsheng said.

As he spoke, he pointed vaguely at the peach saplings not far away.

A tender green light flew from his fingertips and landed on the peach sapling. The sapling, which was originally a foot tall, trembled slightly, grew an inch taller, and sprouted two new buds.

This is the wondrous spirit born after the Six Transformations of Withering and Flourishing have achieved the transformation of one withering and one flourishing – the Spirit of Withering and Flourishing.

The withering and flourishing spiritual energy is somewhat similar to the pure and mysterious divine light. It is also born independently of magical power and requires a long time to recover after being consumed, but its functions are quite different.

Spiritual energy has two uses: withering and flourishing. When used for withering, it is self-evident that it poses a great threat to all living beings. At best, it will shorten their lifespan; at worst, it will cause them to die on the spot.

However, it has many ingenious uses when used in Rongshi.

Besides its basic function of helping people recover quickly from injuries, the Life-Giving Breath can also restore and even extend a person's lifespan.

And like just now, there are ways to accelerate the growth of spiritual plants and demons without side effects, but you can't overdo it at once.

This peach seedling grew from the peach pit left behind by the ancient sacrificial spirit. It was originally extremely difficult for it to grow. When he went to the front of Bamboo Forest Peak, it only sprouted a small bud, and there was not much change after he returned.

But during this time, under his daily stimulation with the essence of withering and flourishing, it has grown to a foot tall.

Although they aren't growing very fast, at least there's hope that they'll grow to maturity.

In addition, he used the essence of decay and prosperity to treat his uncle's body and restore some of his lifespan. However, his uncle's condition was more serious. Even though he consumed a lot of the essence of decay and prosperity, he only helped his uncle restore his lifespan to twenty years.

He didn't reveal to his uncle that his lifespan was coming to an end. His uncle hadn't told him this, simply because he was afraid of making him worry.

Once he helps his martial uncle recover his cultivation, his lifespan will naturally return to normal.

According to the Six Stages of Withering and Flourishing, he is currently only at the stage of one withering and one flourishing. Although the effect of the withering and flourishing spiritual energy in restoring and prolonging lifespan is already quite good, it is far from reaching its limit.

Once he cultivates to the point of two withering and two flourishing, or even three withering and three flourishing, he estimates that he will gain an extra 150 years of lifespan.

Even after consuming an extremely large amount of withering and flourishing spiritual energy, it can still help other cultivators increase their lifespan by up to sixty years.

Therefore, a great cultivator who has successfully cultivated the Sixfold Path of Withering and Flourishing, although not an alchemist himself, holds a slightly more prestigious position than an alchemist.

After all, only a very few top-tier alchemy masters can refine pills that can increase lifespan by fifty years, and the cost of the materials is considerable.

However, Li Yinsheng didn't feel any urgency about his lifespan. He didn't use the withering and flourishing spiritual energy to extend his lifespan at all, but instead used a portion of it to cultivate the Crimson Yao Mosquitoes.
