Chapter 19 Taking the Secret Medicine and Entering the Ghost Realm Again
Chapter 19 Taking the Secret Medicine and Entering the Ghost Realm Again
Because the power of suppressing objects does not require purification, but only needs to be imprinted with divine sense, Jiang Jun's cultivation in the Mind-Stabilizing Chapter is much faster than that of ordinary people.
When he finally stopped, still wanting more, a small pebble had already formed in his mind.
However, these small pebbles are exquisite and translucent, shimmering with a hazy glow, quite different from the "Shi Gandang" which is formed from yin energy and has a bluish-black color.
"The meaning is clear. After all, the foundation has changed, so it can't all be exactly the same." He shook his head and stood up.
He estimated that refining the power of the three protective objects would take about a month, which is more than five times faster than an ordinary person refining Yin energy and condensing a stone guardian from scratch.
"However, as things stand, even if the fourth protective artifact is compiled and added to me, the power it brings will not exceed the Fusion Realm."
"Without the aid of the original spirit that controls the object, I can't even defeat a demon tamer at the Refinement Realm. I need to find another way to increase my strength."
"Alternatively, unlock more slots for warding off evil spirits and combine more types of warding off evil spirits to achieve a qualitative change through quantitative change."
"Either we strengthen the three existing protective charms. The stronger the charms, the greater their power will be..."
As Jiang Jun pondered, he took out the secret medicine from the Divine Department that he had exchanged and opened the medicine box.
Inside each blister pack contains ten pills, sealed with tin foil, arranged in two rows and five columns, ten of each type, for a total of thirty pills, a one-month supply.
Body-refining medicine is red, Qi-nourishing medicine is blue, and spirit-cultivating medicine is yellow.
"Uh, is the pharmacist a part-time artist? They even came up with the three primary colors..." Jiang Jun muttered, then picked up the instruction manual and read it carefully.
Before refining Yin energy, one must strictly follow the order of body refinement on the first day, spirit cultivation on the second day, and Qi nourishment on the third day, taking one tablet daily, along with exercise and visualization techniques to aid digestion.
If yin energy is accumulating, take one piece of each of the three medicines simultaneously to aid in the refining process. Take once every three days.
Although he has no yin energy, he has true energy, so the standard for taking the medicine should be the same.
Jiang Jun took out three secret medicines and strolled them around in front of the three protective objects. Seeing that they didn't react, he figured that taking them wouldn't have any side effects.
Without hesitation, he swallowed the medicine with a small glass of water and then circulated his inner energy to refine its medicinal power.
This secret medicine is completely free of any evil influence.
What first erupts within the body is a pure surge of blood energy, spreading from the stomach to the whole body, making one feel warm and cozy, and causing fine beads of sweat to appear.
Then, a cool breeze entered the sea of consciousness along with the true energy, landed on the lotus petals, turned into dewdrops, and nourished the pure lotus.
One medicine strengthens the body, and the other nourishes the mind. Although the effects are limited, they still provide some improvement.
Once the third secret medicine was refined, Jiang Jun began to look forward to it.
After all, the power to suppress things cannot be obtained out of thin air, and the true qi he can ultimately cultivate is limited. If this qi-nourishing medicine can improve his true qi cultivation, then it would be an unparalleled treasure for him.
Unfortunately, the medicinal properties flowed from the body into the sea of consciousness, entered the true qi, lingered for a while, and then disappeared without a trace.
After carefully sensing the surroundings, Jiang Jun sighed helplessly, "As expected, loopholes aren't so easy to exploit."
He carefully put away the three boxes of medicine and began to think about how to enhance the power of the talisman.
Currently, thanks to the enlightened nature of the Department of Supernatural Affairs, the spread of the spirit-suppressing clones is progressing well, and many strange creatures have been eliminated.
Feedback from the clone indicates that the power of the original entity has been steadily increasing, but there is no hope of a qualitative change in the short term.
"There's only one spot left for a talisman, so I need to think carefully. Besides, the progress bar for the 'Divine Rooster Talisman' isn't full yet..."
"Perfect timing! It's been half a month since we returned from the Mirror Realm. It's time to explore it again. Collecting more strange items will allow us to exchange them for better things at the next exchange meeting!"
Having made up his mind, he took out another booklet and began to learn how to enter the Mirror Realm.
"Sensing any strange object with divine sense reveals the coordinates of a mirrored strange realm within it... Touching it summons a strange mist..."
A mist appeared out of thin air, and the next moment, Jiang Jun appeared in the Mirror Realm.
This time, he still left "Ghostly Prohibition" at home, so that he could use his senses to return home at any time in case of crisis.
After all, he had no lord-level monsters and had not left any traces of divine artifacts. If he did not leave behind the "Monster Prohibition", he would have to wait seven days to be kicked out of the Mirror Monster Realm.
"Hehehe..." A piercing laugh rang in my ears.
Following the sound, Jiang Jun pointed with his fingers, using his true energy to unify the purple light needles, and shot them away.
Then, more than a dozen human skin lanterns shattered and vanished into thin air, leaving only a strange candle, which he captured in his hand using his true energy.
"Hmm, refining the power of suppressing objects into true energy not only greatly reduces consumption and doubles its power, but also makes it much more convenient to use."
He looked around and found himself in a lakeside marshland.
Clumps of reeds, taller than a person, swayed in the cold wind.
"Just as the pamphlet said, without a divine object anchoring the coordinates, the landing point is random every time it descends upon the ghost realm..."
In the swamp, the sounds of insects chirping and frogs croaking filled the air, but it wasn't the pleasant feeling of "the cicadas' noise making the forest even quieter." Instead, it inexplicably aroused a sense of unease.
Within Jiang Jun's sea of consciousness, the Pure Lotus swayed gently, wiping away negative emotions and leaving only a pure heart, unmoved by malicious sounds.
He randomly chose a direction and began to explore. During this time, he killed many skirmisher-level monsters, but found none of the wandering warrior-level ones, and his harvest was very meager.
And so, half an hour passed.
Jiang Jun, unwilling to wander aimlessly any longer, was about to make some noise to see if he could attract some "big fish" when suddenly a series of hurried footsteps came from ahead.
He turned around and saw a dark-skinned young man with a round face and big eyes running towards him, followed by a group of abstract humanoid monsters.
The young man shouted, "Senior, help me!"
Jiang Jun looked closely and realized it was the reporter named Cai Liang: "This guy, could it be that we really do have some kind of connection?"
Looking back:
When Cai Liang was forced into marriage by the "Xi Niang Ghost," he happened to see Jiang Jun's post and created the "Ghost Does Not Allow" to escape the ordeal.
Afterwards, the dormitory of the Department of the Supernatural exploded. When Cai Liang was fleeing for his life, he was chased by ghosts and happened to run into Jiang Jun, who was watching the battle from a distance.
Now, half a month later, Cai Liang, being chased by the Azure Fish Ghost Child, unexpectedly runs into Jiang Jun, who has just come to the Mirror Ghost Realm.
"Was it truly a coincidence, or is there something more to it?"
He walked past Cai Liang and looked at the monster chasing after him. His eyes lit up: "Huh? It's actually the Azure Fish Ghost Child? This is Qixia Lake! Hey, the Treasure-Delivering Child is here..."
These bluefish spirit children are a group formed from bluefish that strayed into the realm of spirits in Qixia Lake in reality and transformed into spirits.
It resembles the fish-man of Western legend, but is as short as a five-year-old child.
Its body was covered in bluish-gray fish scales, its eyes were bulging, and it held a rough wooden spear in its hand, looking fierce and menacing.
They belong to the Ranger-class monsters.
Jiang Jun can kill a opponent one-on-one using only his true energy, but it will still take some time. In a battle against multiple opponents, it would require a long and arduous struggle.
To maintain his image as a superior person, Jiang Jun waved his hand and threw out "The Strange Sorrow".
A white light filled the air, and the strong aroma of garlic removed the fishy smell from the bluefish, making them feel dizzy and disoriented.
Immediately, the light needle transformed into a sword, piercing straight at the boy's brow: "Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
In the blink of an eye, the dozen or so blue carp monsters that had been chasing Cai Liang were all wiped out.
"Huff...huff..." Cai Liang gasped for breath, stopping two meters in front of Jiang Jun. "Thank you so much...senior for saving my life!"
Jiang Jun frowned slightly: "What are you doing here? The new recruits of the Department of Supernatural Affairs should all be in training camp right now, not being arranged to experience the supernatural realm."
