First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 30: Thunder Transformation Pill Recipe

"However, even though inner disciples receive better treatment than outer disciples, you must understand that entering the Inner Sect does not guarantee a worry-free life," Chen An said seriously.

"Although the sect provides inner disciples with monthly allowances and subsidies, compared to the expenses required for cultivation, they are just a drop in the bucket."

"If you want to obtain better cultivation resources, you still need to compete."

The Linqing Sect does not tolerate idle individuals.

If you need a large amount of sect resources, you must demonstrate your own potential.

You must prove to the sect that you are worthy of the abundant cultivation resources they invest in you.

Therefore, the Inner Sect is not a place where you can relax and enjoy yourself. It is a more brutal arena than the outer regions.

"There are rankings in many areas of the Inner Sect. The higher your ranking, the better resources and treatment you can enjoy."

"And if you want to improve your ranking, you also need to rely on your strength!"

"Furthermore, there is the annual competition for new talents held by the Inner Sect."

Chen An glanced at Shen Mo and said, "Don't think that with the Purple Yang Vermilion Fruit, it is a sure thing for you to condense two Dantians. The road to cultivation in the future is still full of challenges."

"Remember, although the medicinal power is effective, success or failure still depends on your own accumulation. Even with the assistance of the Purple Yang Vermilion Fruit, it is not guaranteed that you can successfully condense two Dantians."

"Moreover, even if you truly condense two Dantians, it is not enough to be proud of. In the Linqing Sect's Inner Sect, such geniuses, although rare, do exist."

"Your journey is still long. If you want to stand out in the Inner Sect, you still need to study and practice diligently."

"In short, cultivate diligently. The path to immortality is long."

"Okay." Shen Mo listened quietly to Chen An's words, lost in thought.

"Alright, it's late. I should go now."

"Tonight, with the full moon, it's a good time to have a drink. I need to find Lao Liang and have a few drinks with him."

He stood up and left the room.

Shen Mo also got up to see him off.

"Pfft!"

Just as the two of them stepped outside, Chen An suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Then, his whole body trembled, and his face turned purple as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

What's happening to Chen An?

Seeing this scene, Shen Mo was taken aback. "Chen An, what's wrong with you?"

"Cough... It's because I ate too much of that python's meat," Chen An coughed for a long time before feeling relieved. He said intermittently, "The thunder-infused blood in my body hasn't dissipated yet. Spitting it out actually made me feel better."

"Chen An, is your injury not healed yet?"

Shen Mo remembered that Chen An was injured on Mount Luopo and had been in closed-door training for over two months since his return.

"How could it be so easy?" Chen An smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Being struck by heavenly thunder and surviving is already extremely difficult."

"If I want to fully recover, it will take at least three to five years of effort, and there may still be some lingering effects."

So serious?

Shen Mo raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are there any effective medicines for treatment?"

Chen An was the person he was closest to in this world, so he was genuinely concerned about his severe injuries.

"The power of thunder has invaded my body. The meridians in my body are filled with destructive thunder arcs. Second-rank or lower spirit pills can only heal external injuries and cannot resolve the thunder arcs inside my body."

"No medicine can cure it?"

"There is one, but that spiritual medicine is extremely rare, and I have never seen it being sold within the sect."

"What kind of spiritual medicine?" Shen Mo said seriously, "Chen An, I have already learned pill refining. If you tell me the required spiritual medicine, I can search for it and refine it for you."

"Thunder Transformation Pill. If you are willing, you can keep an eye out for it for me."

When Shen Mo asked further, Chen An told him the required spiritual medicine.

But he didn't have much hope for it, after all, this elixir couldn't be found in the entire Linjiang Sect.

Three days later, in the outer courtyard.

Shen Mo set up a frame at the entrance of the courtyard.

He skewered pieces of snake tendons on wooden skewers, lit a bonfire, and started grilling.

"Sizzle! Sizzle!"

As the flames danced, the tendons on the skewers began to release oil and the aroma of charred meat filled the air.

"Swish!"

When he saw that the meat was almost cooked, he took out the prepared seasoning sauce from the stone table and spread it on the skewers.

Before long, the fragrant grilled skewers were ready.

"Mmm, the taste is worth all the hard work I've put in these past few days."

When he tore off a piece of grilled meat with his mouth, the aroma of the seasoning sauce bloomed between his teeth.

In the next moment, the flavor of the snake meat emerged on his taste buds.

He sighed with great satisfaction, "I really didn't expect that I would be able to figure out the seasoning recipe for grilling meat in this cultivation world."

Ever since he had eaten this snake meat last time, he had been wanting to have a barbecue.

In the following days, he had been wandering around the market, searching for nearly a hundred different kinds of spices and spiritual herbs.

Finally, he managed to create a spicy sauce that tasted very similar to the barbecue flavor from his previous life on Earth.

"It's not easy to have something to eat."

After eating his fill, he comfortably lay on the rattan chair and sighed, "I've fulfilled this desire, but it's really difficult to obtain the Thunder Transformation Pill that Uncle Chen needs."

In these three days, besides searching for the taste of barbecue from his previous life, he had also been keeping an eye out for the Thunder Transformation Pill that Chen An needed for his healing.

Indeed, as Chen An had said, this pill was extremely rare.

Even in the Qian Dan Tower, which was said to have an endless collection of spiritual pills, there were no finished products for sale.

However, he did see the pill recipe for the Thunder Transformation Pill in the Qian Dan Tower, priced at twenty low-grade Spirit Stones.

Shen Mo bought the pill recipe and carefully studied it, only to find that the Thunder Transformation Pill was a second-rank Medicine Pill.

Its main effect was to resist thunder and temper the body.

Usually, it was used by cultivators who practiced special thunder techniques to absorb thunder and refine it.

Compared to that, it was actually not commonly used for healing thunder poison injuries.

The medicinal ingredients required to refine this pill were relatively hard to find, but in these past few days, he had basically found most of them in the market.

The only main ingredient for the Thunder Transformation Pill, the Azure Water Pearl, was still nowhere to be found.

"If I have the opportunity to travel in the future, I'll find a way to search for it."

He thought to himself and threw the last skewer into the plate.

Just as he was about to continue lying down, he suddenly heard a gentle knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

He opened his eyes and looked towards the sound.

Standing at the door was a graceful figure.

Chen Mengze.

"There's a job, I plan to do it together with you, are you interested?" she got straight to the point.

"What job?"

"Guarding the Xuanjing Crystal Vein, it's an easy task, just need to stay there, similar to how you guarded the mountain gate before.

The main goal is to prevent the Gold-Eating Rats from stealing the spiritual ore. Every day, take turns patrolling once, just need to clear out the illusionary stone spirits in the mine to prevent them from hindering the miners."

"It will last for two months, and the reward is fifty Spirit Stones."

"Will you come or not?"
