I have the best bloodline

Today, Su Yan's opponent was a mother mountain leopard. The mother of the mountain leopard was particularly fierce in protecting her cubs. She forcefully rammed into Su Yan in front of her, causing the sow with her tusks to protrude and slide back and forth for more than ten meters.

However, the water layer was not breached; the bruises on Su Yan's chest were from being hit by the water.

"Take them to my room later, and I will give them a good beating and discipline. How could I let the young master suffer such serious injuries?"

Mei'er bypassed Qian Zhi, whose face was full of surprise, and squatted down in front of Su Yan to examine his wounds. She gently touched Su Yan's chest with her fingers, and a bright blue light shone at the point of contact. The bruises and swelling disappeared instantly, and Su Yan felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

But a strange, sour smell permeated the alchemy room, pulling Su Yan out of his reverie.

Su Yan looked back and saw that Qian Zhi had opened the wine jar and was preparing to put the main ingredient of the Spirit Cleansing Pill, Qin Yuan Bee Royal Jelly, into the pill furnace to blend with the pill liquid that was being simmered over a low flame.

That sour taste comes from royal jelly.

"Shouldn't royal jelly smell sweet?" Su Yan asked the Queen Bee of Qinyuan Bee, slightly puzzled.

Su Yan had eaten honey before, but he had never even seen royal jelly. He had always thought that royal jelly was honey made by queen bees, but now it smelled different from honey.

"The sweet ones are honey, but we Qinyuan bees are meat-eating bee demons who don't produce honey."

Mei'er smiled and said, "As for royal jelly, it's food for the young Qin Yuan bees. However, ordinary young bees eat regular royal jelly, also known as royal milk, which is secreted by worker bees from their throats."

"And the bee demons who have consumed my royal jelly will become generals of the Qin Yuan Bees in the future."

"Of course, there are also bee demons among the Qin Yuan bees. From birth to adulthood, they can eat royal jelly secreted by the queen bee. The Qin Yuan bees usually call them the Qin Yuan King, and Mei'er usually calls them her husband."

"But unfortunately, none of these kings have been born in our nest." Mei'er smiled broadly, gently touching Su Yan's hand and pulling it close to her face, asking:

"The royal jelly of the Qin Yuan Bee is secreted from its throat. So, young master, do you know where the royal jelly of the Qin Yuan Bee comes from when Mei'er is in human form?"

Chapter 92 Spirit Cleansing Pill (Seeking votes and continued reading)

What are you doing here?

My aunt came back carrying a mushroom monster. She saw Mei'er, dressed in a semi-transparent gauze dress, sitting in front of Wenwen's beehive, facing the cold wind. She looked lost in thought, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"King of the Proud Insects, you're back! Why didn't you give me these heavy and arduous tasks?"

Upon seeing her aunt return, Mei'er quickly snapped out of her fantasy and rushed forward to help carry the giant mushroom monster from the Western Mountain Range.

Mushroom spirits like these cannot be approached without the permission of the mountain god. However, my aunt knew the mushroom spirit mountain god here, so she went out to visit the mushroom spirit friend and have a cup of tea. At the end, the mushroom spirit friend gave my aunt a mushroom spirit as a return gift.

The mushroom enthusiast is very unique. All the mushrooms in the West First Mountain Range are its divisions. Each strand of mycelium can differentiate into a weak mushroom enthusiast. Only when all the mushrooms come together can it be the true form of this mushroom mountain god of the West First Mountain Range.

Therefore, touching mushrooms is forbidden in the West One Mountain Range, no matter how delicious they look.

If prisoners were to eat without permission, they would inevitably eat at noon, die in the afternoon, and become fertilizer at night.

………………

"You guys all seem a bit strange."

When Auntie returned to Wenwen's nest, the Spirit Cleansing Pill was already being brewed. Qianzhi and Suyan both sat at the tea table with awkward expressions, chatting idly. Mei'er, on the other hand, had an indifferent expression.

Previously, Mei'er asked Su Yan if he could guess how Qin Yuan Bee brewed royal jelly when he was in human form, and she even held Su Yan's hand and placed it on the brewing spout, giving Su Yan a very obvious matching signal.

Just as Mei'er was about to kiss him, Qian Zhi turned around and saw the two entangled. She couldn't help but scream, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere. Although she was a little blind, she wasn't completely blind and could naturally see what outrageous things the two were doing.

Mei'er didn't care at all. So what if someone was watching? As long as Qian Zhi wasn't allowed to participate later.

Mei'er was already thinking that she was going to invite Su Yan to eat some fresh royal jelly from the Queen Bee of Qinyuan.

But Su Yan still had a sense of shame and dared not reveal anything in front of others in broad daylight. He quickly suggested that Queen Qin Yuan talk about it later that night, or that they could find a room where no one else was around.

After a while, Auntie was about to return from her visit, so Queen Qinyuan had no choice but to agree to Su Yan's request to visit him that night.

Su Yan's face was still red, unlike Mei'er's flushed cheeks, which were flushed with excitement; he was just shy.

The demon elder sisters are really too unrestrained; Su Yan simply couldn't withstand their onslaught.

Only now did Su Yan truly understand what his aunt meant when she said, "How can a female beast lure a male beast back to work as a laborer if she doesn't have any flirting skills?"

Su Yan originally thought that "coolie" meant being tricked back into the territory to pick corn or harvest wheat, but the "coolie" in her aunt's words was clearly not the kind of hard labor that involved real work.

"Ah, the Spirit Gathering Elixir in the alchemy room is almost ready again. I'll go take a look."

As her aunt sat down, Mei'er sat on the ground between her aunt and Su Yan, massaging the immortal's legs and occasionally his thighs. Qian Zhi was so shy that she ran back to the alchemy room and hid.

"After taking the Spirit Gathering Pill and Bone Forging Pill for a few days, how much do you feel your meridians have opened up?"

"Aside from the main meridian connecting heaven and earth, after several days of cultivation with medicine, we are now cultivating the second meridian among the twelve meridians," Su Yan said.

Once the main meridian and all twelve meridians are connected and condensed into a golden core, one becomes a Golden Core cultivator.

My aunt pondered for a moment and then said, "It's alright. There's been no swelling or pain, or any difficulty in controlling the magic power?"

The Spirit Gathering Pill helps cultivators expand their meridians, while the Bone Forging Pill can further stabilize the expanded meridians.

The combination of the two is like a cheat code for a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, precisely because of this, the prices of Spirit Gathering Pills and Bone Forging Pills are extremely high. Ten inferior Spirit Gathering Pills cost ten catties of spirit stones, which is several times more expensive than bottled healing medicines or gift-boxed detoxifying pills.

"I don't feel any discomfort. I guess I've already gone through it once before, and now I'm just going through the process again. It's not difficult," Su Yan replied.

During the Body Refining and Qi Refining stages, one cannot consume elixirs and must instead refine essence into qi and transform it into spiritual energy. However, the experience is completely different after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, and it is quite enjoyable.

"Of course it's not difficult. Those who can sense the difficulty haven't even become sentient yet." Auntie sighed, "No wonder it's a four-legged gold-devouring beast. In just one week, it devoured almost two thousand catties of spirit stones from me. In Xia Yu's shop, that's almost twenty thousand catties of spirit stones."

Auntie complained about Su Yan, saying that this little money-devouring beast had stabbed his money bag and caused a huge mess.

"Is it really that expensive?"

Su Yan looked shocked, genuinely unaware that her recent spending had been so high.

He drank the Spirit Gathering Elixir every day until his belly was round and full, and took three Bone Forging Pills every morning, noon and night without fail. Every day, he had a different Foundation Establishment stage demon beast to train with, which helped him digest the residual demon power accumulated in the elixir.

Unless one is a member of the royal family, how many Foundation Establishment cultivators have such good cultivation conditions?

If the demon race could really cultivate so quickly, it wouldn't take them hundreds of years to break through the Foundation Establishment barrier.

Su Yan's cultivation speed was achieved by spending money, so much so that even his aunt, who had gotten something for nothing, felt the pinch.

It takes a thousand catties of spirit stones to open up one meridian. Su Yan will need to spend at least another ten thousand catties of spirit stones to ensure he can build up one meridian.

"What do you think? Otherwise, why would your aunt say that spending money on cultivator items is like pouring water?" Aunt joked. "It's fortunate that you helped your aunt earn some savings before, otherwise you might have had to ask Hua Yu to help you break through from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage and learn some dual cultivation techniques to accumulate spiritual power."

"But you don't need to worry. The consumption of Golden Core cultivators is not as drastic as that of Foundation Establishment cultivators. You should be able to accumulate some wealth."

My aunt was all smiles. She used to be so proud and wealthy, but now she's spent it all on accumulating resources to reach the Half-Immortal realm. She's still a few hundred thousand catties of spirit stones away from breaking through to the Land Immortal realm.

"boom"

Just as his aunt was about to tell Su Yan to develop the habit of saving money when he reached the Golden Core stage, in case of any unforeseen needs in the future, a sound of something exploding suddenly came from the alchemy room, and a slightly sour and spicy medicinal smell wafted into the nest.

"What's that smell? Did the oven explode?"

My aunt got up from her seat and ran quickly towards the makeshift alchemy room.

"It didn't explode. The Spirit Cleansing Pill is complete. The strange taste is due to the effects of royal jelly. The royal jelly from Qinyuan cannot be completely refined; only by retaining some of its activity can it be used to refine the Spirit Cleansing Pill."

Tears streaming down her face, Qianzhi loudly explained to her aunt.

If this elixir smelled fragrant, it would be ruined. The current taste is correct, but because the royal jelly is of such high quality, the sour, spicy, astringent, and green flavors are extremely strong.

It stings my eyes and irritates my throat.

All the recommendations have been completed; it should be almost time to put it on the shelves.

Sigh, we've reached the end. No more trumpet playing or anything like that, boohoo.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 93 has branched out!

"cough cough"

Qian Zhi raised her hand to cover her cheek with her elbow as she walked out through the acrid and pungent smoke. In her hand, she held a glass-like vessel that resembled a flat-mouthed bowl, inside which a bluish-yellow liquid was radiating color and emitting a pungent smell.

Before Qian Zhi could greet her aunt, she steadied herself and walked toward the long table that had been prepared, carrying the liquid of the Spirit Cleansing Pill. During this time, she continuously used cleansing techniques to keep away any dust that might contaminate the liquid. Then, she skillfully processed the liquid a second time, coating it with a pill-coating technique to give it the form of a medicinal pill.

The Spirit Cleansing Pill is different from the Spirit Gathering Pill. No matter how much you squander the medicinal power of ordinary pills, it will be the same. The main ingredients of the Spirit Gathering Pill are spirit stones and medicinal herbs that help refine spiritual power. Even if you lick it on the ground, it will have the same effect. Apart from some discomfort, it will not affect the medicinal power too much.

However, the Spirit Cleansing Pill is a spiritual-grade pill. Once it becomes contaminated, its spirituality will decrease, resulting in a significant reduction in its medicinal efficacy. Therefore, the Spirit Cleansing Pill must be wrapped in a pill coat the moment it is produced.

Aunt and Su Yan stood by, watching Qian Zhi skillfully reprocess the elixir.

"The elixir is complete!"

Qian Zhi looked at the three pills on the table, turned to look at her aunt and Su Yan, and breathed a sigh of relief before saying:

"Originally, four sets of materials were prepared. After removing impurities and contaminated parts, three pills were made."

Alchemy is a profound discipline, requiring not only knowledge of pharmacology but also knowledge of minerals to purify the raw materials of crudely processed medicinal herbs.

Su Yan spent several days in the alchemy room with Qian Zhi, watching her conduct chemical experiments, refining, purifying, sealing, and weighing different kinds of medicinal materials, then proceeding to the next step of blending different medicinal liquids, and finally extracting the elixir and adding a medicinal catalyst to activate and blend different medicinal powers.

The alchemy process was extremely tedious and complicated, completely different from Su Yan's previous imagination of putting herbs into the furnace, doing this and that, and finally kicking the furnace away to spit out the pills.

Indeed, without precise weighing and procedures, different types of pills in the cultivation world are probably all unique.

How could you possibly refine an identical elixir?

"Senior Insect, this is for you; this is to wish Fellow Daoist Su a speedy breakthrough to the Golden Core stage."

Qian Zhi sealed the three pills separately, and gave two of them, the Spirit Cleansing Pills, directly to her aunt and Su Yan.

Qian Zhi deeply respected her aunt. In other words, all alchemists from reputable schools respected her after learning that her aunt was a member of the Pingfeng Mountain Proud Insect Clan.

Pingfeng Mountain is located at a strategic point, situated between the human and demon realms. Due to the intimidating power of the Pride Insect Ancestor, the Pride Insect reigns supreme on both sides of the human and demon realms. Any living being wishing to pass through Pingfeng Mountain must pay a toll.

It doesn't matter if we don't give them anything; they'll take it themselves.

The alchemy skills of the demon race are extremely average. Basically, all the precious medicinal materials in the cultivation world come from the demon race. If an alchemist befriends a proud and arrogant fellow Daoist and obtains her letter, then he will not have to pay a high toll when passing through Pingfeng Mountain.

The travel expenses were so high that even alchemists complained, so you can imagine how terrifying it was to pass through Pingfeng Mountain.

Although Qian Zhi doesn't need those precious medicinal herbs now, making friends with a fellow Daoist opens up more paths for one's own progress. This has almost become common knowledge among alchemists. Who knows, one day a fellow Daoist she has helped might achieve great mastery of their skills?

"Auntie, can I eat this?"

Seeing the pills Qian Zhi stuffed into his arms, Su Yan looked at his aunt and asked if he should accept the gift.

Judging from Qian Zhi's attitude towards the Spirit Cleansing Pill, it must be very precious. The fact that Qian Zhi gave him a dose was definitely because of his aunt's influence. Although Su Yan wanted it, he knew that the pill was obtained by exchanging his aunt's face.
