Chapter 185 Return to the Sect
Ten days later, Ye Xiaobai successfully returned to the White Tiger Sect.
It took Ye Xiaobai about half a year to leave the sect, but he gained a lot, the most important thing being that he found the method to form a core.
With the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Technique and the Five Elements Condensing Pill, Ye Xiaobai was filled with anticipation for forming his Golden Core.
Just as Ye Xiaobai was about to enter the White Tiger Sect's mountain gate, he saw a burly cultivator leading several disciples who had not yet entered the Qi Refining stage, heading towards the White Tiger Sect's mine.
They were clearly disciples who had just joined the sect. Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but recall the days when Liu Santong brought him into the White Tiger Sect a few years ago.
Later, I met Niu Dazhuang. Niu Dazhuang?
The cultivator in front of him did bear a resemblance to Niu Dazhuang, so Ye Xiaobai immediately dismounted from his flying sword and flew to the side of the group.
When everyone saw Ye Xiaobai flying down from the sky on his sword, they immediately realized that this senior brother Ye Xiaobai was quite powerful, and they quickly greeted him respectfully.
"Hello, senior brother!"
"it is good!"
"Is that Junior Brother Niu Dazhuang?" Ye Xiaobai couldn't call him Senior Brother anymore, since he was already in the late Foundation Establishment stage, while the cultivator opposite him seemed to be only at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar cultivator before him, Niu Dazhuang asked with a hint of disbelief, "Is this Ye Xiaobai, Senior Brother Ye?"
"It is indeed me, Ye Xiaobai!" Ye Xiaobai said excitedly as he looked at Niu Dazhuang, who was even more burly than a few years ago.
"It really is you! Senior Brother Ye, I heard you made great contributions during the battle with Qingyun Sect a while ago, and I wanted to congratulate you. However, you are now an inner disciple, so I... sigh!" Niu Dazhuang said helplessly.
“Junior Brother Niu, stop talking. I’ve been busy improving my cultivation these past few years. Oh well, let’s not talk about it. You’ve become an elder outside now, right? Taking the newly recruited disciples to the mines?” Ye Xiaobai asked directly.
"There's nothing I can do. My talent is beyond Foundation Establishment, so I can only work as an elder in the outer sect! That's why I'm currently in charge of mentoring the new disciples!" Niu Dazhuang said truthfully.
"Haha, thinking back to when we first started out, we were all menial disciples, mining every day, working ourselves to the bone and still not getting enough to eat. I wonder how the food is for menial disciples now?" Ye Xiaobai asked curiously.
"It's the same old story, nobody cares whether these menial disciples have enough to eat!" Niu Dazhuang said helplessly.
"Have you applied to the sect for some spirit stones to improve the meals of the menial disciples?" Ye Xiaobai asked.
"Of course I applied, but the higher-ups rejected it outright! They said it was none of their business if the handymen disciples weren't getting enough to eat. There was nothing I could do; I'm of low status, and the higher-ups don't want to listen to me!" Niu Dazhuang said helplessly.
"Okay, I understand. I'll talk to some acquaintances in the inner sect later and see if we can improve the meals for the menial disciples!"
"That's wonderful! I thank Senior Brother Ye on behalf of these menial disciples!" Niu Dazhuang said excitedly upon hearing this.
"We're all fellow disciples, no need for formalities. These are some Qi Refining stage pills, I hope they'll be helpful to you!" Ye Xiaobai took out some Qi Refining stage pills and gave them to Niu Dazhuang, hoping they could help him.
"Thank you so much, Senior Brother Ye!" Niu Dazhuang said excitedly, holding several bottles of pills. It was so difficult for him to save up spirit stones to buy pills, but Ye Xiaobai just casually gave him several bottles.
"No need to be polite, we're all fellow disciples. You go ahead with your work, we can chat another day. I have to go now!" Ye Xiaobai was also in a hurry to go back and prepare for Core Formation, and didn't want to take up any more of Niu Dazhuang's time.
"Take care, Senior Brother Ye!" Niu Dazhuang suppressed his excitement as he watched Ye Xiaobai's departing figure.
A moment later, Ye Xiaobai disappeared into White Tiger Mountain.
"Elder Niu? Do you know this senior brother?" After Ye Xiaobai left, a newly initiated disciple asked.
"Of course I know them! They started out with us and are now excellent inner disciples! You all need to work hard too! Get into the Qi Refining stage as soon as possible!" Niu Dazhuang said excitedly as he put away the pills.
"Understood!" the new disciple shouted.
……
After Ye Xiaobai left, he originally planned to return directly to his cave, remembering that he had promised Niu Dazhuang and his acquaintances in the inner sect to talk to them about improving the diet of the menial disciples. So, he went to Lingyun Peak to find Mu Beifeng. After all, Mu Beifeng was the sect leader's personal disciple, with a high status, and seeking his help could solve the problem.
As expected, Mu Beifeng was easy to talk to. He immediately decided to talk to the relevant person in charge of the inner sect to improve the meals of the handymen disciples by adding a meat dish every day at noon so that they would have the energy to cultivate.
Ye Xiaobai quickly thanked Mu Beifeng on behalf of the servant disciples, and then returned to his cave.
Looking at the cave dwelling he hadn't returned to in so long, Ye Xiaobai felt somewhat unfamiliar with it.
After tidying up a bit, Ye Xiaobai began preparing to refine the Five Elements Condensation Pill. He knew the importance of this pill-refining process, as it was crucial to whether he could successfully form his own core.
First, Ye Xiaobai carefully checked his alchemy furnace and medicinal herb reserves. After ensuring everything was ready, he took a deep breath, concentrated, and adjusted himself to his optimal state.
Next, Ye Xiaobai placed each of the necessary precious medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace one by one, according to the recipe. Each herb was carefully selected to ensure its quality and purity. Then, he carefully controlled the heat, ensuring the flame burned evenly to guarantee that the essence of the herbs was fully released.
As time passed, the temperature inside the alchemy furnace gradually rose, and the medicinal herbs slowly fused together. Ye Xiaobai stared intently at the furnace, constantly monitoring the changes in the pills. He dared not be careless in the slightest, because if any mistake was made, the entire alchemy process might be ruined.
Finally, after a long wait, a rich medicinal aroma wafted from the alchemy furnace. Ye Xiaobai knew that the Five Elements Condensing Essence Pill was about to be completed. He nervously watched the furnace, eagerly anticipating the pill that would help him form his core.
When the alchemy furnace was opened, a pill radiating multicolored light appeared before him. A surge of joy welled up in Ye Xiaobai's heart; he knew what this pill meant—it represented his hope of reaching a higher realm.
He was lucky enough to succeed on his first try. However, Ye Xiaobai felt that it would be difficult to form a pill from a low-grade Five Elements Condensation Pill. So, Ye Xiaobai continued to challenge himself to refine a higher-grade Five Elements Condensation Pill.
Ye Xiaobai carefully perused the information about the Five Elements Condensing Essence Pill on his person, his gaze focused and earnest, as if trying to etch every word into his mind. This information was a valuable treasure he had accumulated over many years, and an important basis for his continuous improvement of his alchemy skills.
Through long-term alchemy practice, Ye Xiaobai has accumulated rich experience and skills. He deeply understands the characteristics of each medicinal herb, the control of the heat, and the key elements such as the conditions for pill formation. With this profound foundation, he began to try to refine higher-quality Five Elements Condensing Essence Pills.
In the alchemy room, Ye Xiaobai meticulously prepared various materials, proceeding with extreme caution at every step. He carefully selected the highest quality medicinal herbs to ensure that each ingredient would exert its optimal effect. Then, he skillfully adjusted the proportions of the herbs, precise down to each individual portion.
With everything ready, Ye Xiaobai lit the furnace and began refining pills. He focused intently on the furnace, adjusting the heat to ensure the flames burned just right. As time passed, the medicinal liquid inside the furnace gradually boiled, releasing a rich aroma.
