Chapter 159: Three Mountain Powerhouses, Spirit Pill

Gan Lan has great talent in Body Refining and her Origin Spirit evolution is also focused on Body Tempering. She is the strongest among the "Red Mountain Three Monsters."

However, when she heard about the "Spirit Turtle Treasury," she shook her head and said, "Junior Brother is joking."

"To enter the Spirit Turtle Treasury, one must rank in the top five in the Grand Competition."

"I am already satisfied with reaching the top and observing from the Aotou. As for the top five, I dare not hope for it."

Chen Mo, Senior Brother, smiled and said, "Senior Sister, don't underestimate yourself."

"You are not only the face of our 'Red Mountain Four Heroes,' but also of our Red Mountain."

Gan Lan waved her hand and smiled, "Haha, Junior Brother, let's not talk about the 'Red Mountain Four Heroes' for now. When it comes to our Red Mountain, we have Senior Brother Gong and Senior Brother Zheng leading the way."

Senior Brother Gong and Senior Brother Zheng naturally refer to Gong Buwei and Zheng Datong.

Both of them have already reached the Little Yellow Courtyard Late Stage, and they are only one step away from a breakthrough.

"Moreover, our Red Mountain has the fewest number of people among the Three Mountains."

Gan Lan continued, extending her fingers to count.

"On White Mountain, there is Senior Sister A Na, Senior Brother Qian, the Five Beauties of White Mountain, and a newly recruited genius, Junior Sister Cheng."

She glanced at Fu Ning and smiled slightly, "Little Junior Brother, you might even meet Junior Sister Cheng on the arena."

"But at that time, you must not hold back."

Fu Ning smiled awkwardly at her words, but Gan Lan continued, "White Mountain has the most people, so naturally, they have the highest chance of winning."

At this time, Zhou Ye, Senior Brother, interjected, "Indeed, in terms of numbers alone, the disciples of White Mountain are three times that of our Red Mountain."

"However, White Mountain values inheritance and emphasizes gradual accumulation. If it comes to one-on-one battles on the arena, it's not necessarily that our Red Mountain disciples will be their opponents."

"As for threats, Black Mountain follows the Ghost Dao inheritance, which is unpredictable and ever-changing. The disciples of Black Mountain are skilled in combat, and if they were to face us, they might not necessarily be our opponents."

When Fu Ning first set foot on the Three Mountains, he had heard from White Cloud Scenic Master.

Black Mountain's Ghost Dao is skilled in combat and can use evil energy. In terms of combat, they are indeed unique.

Among the Three Mountains, White Mountain's inheritance is focused on controlling water and is more defensive in nature.

Red Mountain's inheritance is focused on fire and Body Refining, but controlling fire is difficult, so there are few secret techniques derived from it, mostly used for refining pills.

On the other hand, Body Refining, which was derived from the "Jade Rabbit" phenomenon, is quite impressive.

Techniques like Gan Lan's "Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique" and Zhou Ye's "Pao Ding Knife Technique" are related to Body Refining.

However, although Body Refining is powerful, it requires long-term practice and accumulation to achieve significant results.

In comparison, Black Mountain's Ghost Dao inheritance is much faster to learn.

Whether it's the "Dark Crow" or the "Ghost Claw Huai," the secret techniques derived from them are more focused on combat.

"Moreover, Black Mountain has Senior Brother He, known as the number one among the Three Mountains. It is said that he has already reached the Great Yellow Courtyard realm."

"He is usually obsessed with fishing and rarely appears on the mountain. But this Three Mountains Grand Competition is not to be taken lightly, and he will definitely come back."

"In addition, there are the 'Four Uglies of Black Mountain.' Although they are ugly in appearance, their strength should not be underestimated. They are even above our 'Red Mountain Four Heroes.'"

At this point, Zhou Ye seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to Fu Ning beside him, "Little Junior Brother, have you already taken the Dragon Blood Pill?"

The incident of Fu Ning catching the Golden Scale Small Fish had long spread throughout the Three Mountains.

Everyone knew that he would definitely refine the Golden Scale Small Fish into the Dragon Blood Pill.

Today, when he came over, he deliberately didn't cough like before, finally catching Zhou Ye's attention.

At this moment, he took the opportunity to say, "Senior Brother has a keen eye. I have already taken the Dragon Blood Pill, it is truly a Divine Medicine."

The other three's eyes lit up and one of them said, "So... has your foundation injury been repaired?"

Fu Ning nodded, "It's more or less healed."

"Good!"

"My junior brother has just recovered from his injuries, and now is the time for him to replenish his body.

Let's catch a rabbit tomorrow."

"Okay."

...

Seven days later, in the medicine garden cottage.

Fu Ning made a motion of looking back at the moon, his limbs rhythmically moving, while Origin Qi gathered around his body, not dispersing, making his skin hot and red.

After a cup of tea's time, the Origin Qi reentered his body and disappeared, and Fu Ning stood up again, gradually cooling down and returning to normal.

[Practicing 'Spirit Turtle's Twenty-Eight Passes', Qi and Blood Aptitude increased by 1%, Root Bone Aptitude increased by 1%, Resistance increased by 1%.]

During this period, Fu Ning never stopped practicing the Body Tempering technique.

Besides a slight improvement in his aptitude, he even felt that the elemental energy in his body had grown.

In addition to that, these past few days, he had been eating fish soup and rabbit meat, and compared to when he first broke through, his elemental energy had increased by more than thirty percent.

Now, with just a slight circulation, the acupoints around his Origin Sea seemed to loosen.

In addition to elemental energy, he had also absorbed a lot of 'Innate Earth Origin Qi' from the amber stone these past few days.

In the landscape 'Mulberry Field', two more clumps of spiritual soil had appeared.

And in the middle of the soil, a small sprout emerged.

The sprout was green all over, split in half from the middle, but there was a golden vein in the gap.

Fu Ning could clearly sense the vitality emanating from it.

The sprout was the seed of the 'Copper Coin Osmanthus Tree'.

During this time, besides practicing, he had been reading books about spiritual plants.

Under his careful cultivation, on the third day after planting the seed, the soil arched up.

At that time, Fu Ning was overjoyed, not expecting that he could really revive the seed.

It could be considered as fulfilling a wish of Ancestral Master Ling Cong.

However, a new problem had arisen.

During this short period of time, the fire poison on Greedy Toad's body had become more severe, and the 'Cold Ice Dew' was almost unable to suppress it.

But Fu Ning had tried several new types of cold poison pills, but none of them worked.

Now, there were only two options in front of him.

One was to find the Moon Shadow Grass and refine it into the Nirvana Pill, completely eliminating the 'Red Lotus Karmic Fire'.

Unfortunately, the Moon Shadow Grass was extremely rare, and Fu Ning had not found any clues so far.

The second option was to cultivate the 'Copper Coin Osmanthus Tree' before Greedy Toad was burned to death by the fire poison, causing it to bear copper coin petals.

According to the records in the 'Record of Wonders', after the enlightenment of the 'Toad Palace Hanging', there was a chance to evolve a special alchemy technique called the 'Toad Pill'.

This medicine had an extremely cold nature and was the perfect remedy for the 'Red Lotus Karmic Fire'.

If the 'Copper Coin Osmanthus Tree' could bear Copper Coin Osmanthus, it would trigger the wonder of the 'Toad Palace Hanging'.

"But... I don't know if Greedy Toad can hold on until then."

Fu Ning frowned.

Generally speaking, spiritual plants thrive in good soil.

With the spiritual soil, if it was watered with true water, perhaps it could ripen the 'Copper Coin Osmanthus Tree'.

True water, similar to 'Leaving Fire', was also extremely rare and could only evolve in special wonders or Origin Spirits.

In the history of Spirit Turtle Island, there happened to be a White Mountain Lord who had evolved true water in the 'White Pond' Scenic Palace.

That Lord later left Spirit Turtle Island, and his whereabouts were unknown.

But the true water he had evolved before was hidden in the Spirit Turtle Treasury.
