The jade slip recorded content related to alchemy.
The first part was an introduction to alchemy materials. Not only did it include materials from the human cultivation world, it also covered materials from the demon clan's side.
Rather than calling it alchemy materials, it's more like an encyclopedia.
The second part contained pill formulas, but at present Feng Xi could only see part of the content. The remaining portion was very blurry, presumably something she would only be able to see after her strength increased.
It was precisely because the amount of information was far too great that her divine sense couldn't withstand it, causing her to bleed from all seven orifices and faint.
Feng Xi had no way of explaining the matter of the jade slip to Jun Wen. She only said that she's fine, then began digesting the content she had just received.
Although the jade slip's contents had been directly "transmitted" into her sea of consciousness, she still needed to understand and comprehend them herself.
Feng Xi started by looking at the alchemy materials. As she read, she froze.
"Single-Horned Stone Centipede, an Earth-rank demonic beast. Its adult form is comparable in strength to a human Golden Core Stage cultivator and it prefers rotting flesh.
After capturing prey, it injects poison into the prey's body, then waits several days after the prey's death before consuming it.
The poison of this creature is relatively special. Detoxification pills take effect slowly, which can give the false impression that detoxification has failed.
In reality, as long as a detoxification pill is taken, the residual poison in the body will gradually dissipate.
After about two hours, full recovery can be achieved.
The entire body of the Single-Horned Stone Centipede can be used as medicinal material, especially the horn and the poison gland…"
In the book, her eldest senior brother Jiang Ji, whom she hadn't met yet, accidentally entered the Turtleback Mountain Secret Realm and was injured by an extremely rare poisonous insect.
He happened to be discovered by Shen Zhilan, who had also entered the secret realm. She claimed that only the blood of a top-grade water spiritual root could detoxify it, so she cut her finger and used her blood to save Jiang Ji.
Jiang Ji was deeply grateful to Shen Zhilan. That gratitude gradually turned into admiration, and he willingly stayed by her side as a seasoned licking dog.
As a result?
In order to obtain a Heaven-rank medicinal herb, Shen Zhilan sacrificed Jiang Ji to the demonic fiend of the Ten-Thousand-Zhang Demon Abyss.
Jiang Ji's soul was completely annihilated, never to reincarnate.
And that poisonous insect was precisely the Single-Horned Stone Centipede.
A mocking smile appeared on Feng Xi's face. Bullshit that only the blood of a top-grade water spiritual root could detoxify it!
Shen Zhilan just wanted Jiang Ji to be endlessly grateful to her!
And then be used by her!
It wasn't surprising at all that Shen Zhilan could do such a thing.
She even suspected that Jiang Ji's poisoning had been Shen Zhilan's doing from the start!
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? The secret realm is so large, yet she just happened to encounter a poisoned Jiang Ji?
Fortunately, this jade slip appeared in time. Otherwise, when the Turtleback Mountain Secret Realm opened later, she really wouldn't have had a way to detoxify Jiang Ji.
Coincidentally enough, a few days later news arrived: a secret realm had been discovered at Turtleback Mountain in the Hengling Mountain Range.
Those who met the bone-age requirements, had cultivation below the Nascent Soul Stage, and possessed sufficient fate could enter.
Because the secret realm was discovered at Turtleback Mountain, it was named the Turtleback Mountain Secret Realm.
The sect masters of the four great sects believed this to be an excellent opportunity for training, so they reached a consensus to send the eight personal disciples stationed at the boundary region to Turtleback Mountain to participate in the secret realm trial.
As for the boundary region, each sect would send an additional elder to fill in.
After receiving the news, Xing Wu immediately went to find Feng Xi.
"Feng Xi, let's leave together tomorrow morning, alright? That way you and Jun Wen won't have to fly on swords, you can ride our flying boat instead!"
The reason for choosing to depart the next morning was, first, that the entrance to the secret realm hadn't fully opened yet, so there's plenty of time.
Second, this is the boundary region after all, and traveling at night isn't very safe.
After hearing Xing Wu's words, Feng Xi smiled and said, "I was going to come look for you anyway!
Fifth Senior Brother even felt embarrassed to trouble you, but I think friends don't need to be so polite. If there's a need for help, just ask openly."
Xing Wu nodded, "Exactly, exactly. Jun Wen is just too petty!"
Jun Wen: "..."
I didn't say anything at all, okay?!
But he's already used to taking the blame for his junior sister, so he didn't bother arguing anymore.
After Xing Wu left, Feng Xi began urging the little black ball to "go fishing".
She needed to bring some back for Xiao Baidao and the elders to taste, and she also needed to prepare gifts. Setting aside everything else, she's hitching a ride on Beast-Taming Sect's flying boat, she couldn't very well not show any appreciation!
Besides, the seafood from the Endless Sea is rich in spiritual qi. Taking it back to sell would also bring in a large sum of income.
The little black ball felt utterly miserable!
Other people's spirit companions followed their masters to eat well and drink well. As for it, here it was, fishing in the middle of the night!
Under the little black ball's herding, all kinds of seafood rushed toward the shore, leaping forward one after another, jumping all over the place!
Feng Xi clasped her hands behind her back.
"Fifth Senior Brother, do you know why these seafood are jumping onto the shore?
It's all because of my beauty!
From today onward, the Northern Region continent has a new term to describe beauty, it's called 'flying fish and falling shrimp'!"
Jun Wen: "..."
As long as you're happy.
Just as things were bustling here, an angry roar sounded from the distance.
On the pitch-black sea surface, a gigantic sea beast head appeared. A pair of golden eyes flashed with ferocity, it was that Golden-Eyed Blood Sea Elephant.
The little black ball that was "fishing" almost got scared into a flat black pancake!
It hurriedly flew back onto Feng Xi.
Because everyone's attention was focused on the Golden-Eyed Blood Sea Elephant, and the little black ball itself was just a mass of mist, no one noticed it.
Feng Xi scolded it using her divine sense, "Look at how spineless you are! You've disgraced my face as a role model of the human race!"
The little black ball protested, "That's a mid Nascent Soul Stage sea beast! Isn't it normal for me to be scared?! Are you not scared?"
Feng Xi snorted coldly, then used spiritual qi to shout at the Golden-Eyed Blood Sea Elephant, "What are you yelling about in the middle of the night?!
Do you have any self-awareness at all? You're just a mid Nascent Soul Stage trash, and you still have the nerve to shout here?
Come on, if you've got the ability, grow wings and fly up here right now!
Let the two of us battle for three hundred rounds!"
Golden-Eyed Blood Sea Elephant: "..."
If I could grow wings, I'd just change my name to Golden Eagle!
Feng Xi continued, "Don't say you don't have wings, even if you did, I'd rip them off and use them as a fan!
What are you staring at?
Keep staring and I'll gouge out your dead fish eyes and use them as chamber pots!"
The Golden-Eyed Blood Sea Elephant was furious beyond belief!
But it didn't dare approach the shore, because it could sense the presence of a Soul Transformation Stage cultivator.
So it could only angrily slap its tail, stirring up towering waves.
Feng Xi curled her lip, "You could keep slapping until the end of time and you still wouldn't dry up the sea. What are you slapping for?
I'm just catching a bit of seafood, look at how petty you are!
What, you want to offer yourself up for me to eat?
Tsk tsk, I'm really not interested. You're too ugly! I can't bring myself to take a bite!"
...
Feng Xi cursed for a full half hour. The Golden-Eyed Blood Sea Elephant was so furious that its eyes rolled back and floated on the sea surface.
Everyone: "..."
She cursed a Nascent Soul Stage sea beast into fainting from anger?
Is…Is that still a mouth?
That's even more powerful than a flying sword!
Killing without form!
