"If you have anything to do, sit down and talk slowly." Elder Ninth pointed to the opposite side of him.
"Thank you, uncle." Ji Qingling sat down obediently.
Seeing her discomfort, the ninth elder had no choice but to speak out first.
"Are you looking for me to ask for elixirs?"
"no."
"Is it you or someone in your family who wants to learn alchemy?"
"Huh? No."
Ji Qingling didn't want to keep the other party guessing, so she took out the contents of the storage bag.
The Ninth Elder picked it up and took a closer look, "Is this the empty shell of Xue Ling'e's insect egg?"
"Yes, Ninth Elder, the reason I came here today is to ask, can this empty shell not be used to refine medicine?"
"Ling Yatou, do you know what kind of elixir Xue Ling'e's eggs are used to make?"
"I don't know." Ji Qingling took little pills on weekdays, and she had never cared about this.
"Quenching Spirit Pill."
"What? Isn't the Spirit Tempering Pill made from Red Pearl Fruit?"
"There has never been an absolute formula for refining medicine. Let alone our Jiuzhou Continent, even in Tongcheng, my Ji family is not the only one who has the spirit-tempering pill. Each family's formula may be different, but they all have tempering pills. The effect of refining spiritual energy is just that they don't have the medicinal effect of hundreds of years old red pearl fruit."
Ji Qingling learned from her parents at a very young age that red pearl fruits are the direct result of the flower heart. The petals do not wither, and the fruits are not picked by people, but must fall by themselves.
Those fruits that do not fall will be wrapped in petals again, year after year, and some may bloom hundreds of times before falling off.
The fallen spirit-quenching elixir refined over hundreds of years can be used by Golden elixir and Nascent Soul monks.
The quality of decades or centuries can be used to build foundations and golden elixirs.
Those of several years or only one year are naturally used for the Qi refining period.
Of course, red pearl fruits that are hundreds of years old are extremely rare.
Therefore, the Ji family's spirit-tempering pills are famous because of the spirit-tempering pills that are refined from fruits that have been harvested for hundreds of years.
"Then Ninth Elder, can these be used to make medicine?"
The Ninth Elder did not answer, but directly took out the alchemy furnace, and then took out the intact insect eggs and started refining them.
Ji Qingling thought to herself that he was going to practice it directly for her to see.
The insect eggs stayed in the furnace for about half the time of burning incense, and the top of the furnace was opened.
The Ninth Elder made a handprint with his fingers, and two small balls of powder rose from the furnace, one black and one white.
"The white ones are the materials for refining the Tempering Spirit Pill, and the black ones are the materials for refining the Dream Pill."
Ji Qingling had never heard of the dream elixir, it was probably the same psychedelic elixir that Ji Cheng had before.
After speaking, the Ninth Elder put the empty shell into the alchemy furnace. After half a stick of incense, only a ball of white powder rose up in the furnace.
Ji Qingling's face was filled with joy, and she looked eagerly at the Ninth Elder, hoping to get the answer she wanted from him.
The Ninth Elder placed the white powder in his palm to identify it.
He raised his eyes and said to Ji Qingling: "It's available."
Ji Qingling was so happy that she quickly took out the Golden Snake Ganoderma lucidum and told the Ninth Elder what she had discovered in the cave.
If it is feasible, can Xue Ling'e be raised instead of being hunted?
Use golden snake Ganoderma lucidum as food to guide the pupae to give up eating the empty shells.
In this way, the larvae within the eggs can be raised directly to adulthood to lay eggs.
The amount obtained by then will naturally be several times greater than it is now.
And the most important thing is that there is no need to hunt down those Xue Ling'e who are not aggressive towards humans...
The Ninth Elder listened to Ji Qingling's thoughts with great interest.
He felt that the idea of breeding was feasible. Although the Golden Snake Ganoderma had strong aura, it was not difficult to grow it.
It only needs a moist and dark environment, which is exactly the same as Xue Ling'e's preferred growing environment.
I didn’t expect that such a young child could think of these things in just a few days.
And her most important purpose is not those empty shells.
"Ling Yatou, do you know that being kind-hearted and soft-hearted is a taboo for immortal cultivators.
The journey of cultivation is to go against the law of heaven, the law of competition, the weak and the strong.
People who defy the way of heaven can achieve enlightenment, so they will suffer disaster from heaven.
If you can't bear it, how can you become a Taoist or an immortal? "
Elder Ninth can understand the little girl's kindness, just like his Hui'er.
But he needs to remind him that the last thing that can happen in the path of cultivating immortals is soft-heartedness.
"Uncle, I am not soft-hearted, nor am I overflowing with compassion.
I just don't agree with unnecessary killing.
The book says that everything in the world has spirituality and can become a Buddha. Everything in the world has a Taoist mind and can also attain Taoism.
Sometimes I wonder, where does this aura of heaven and earth come from?
Is it because of these spiritual plants and beasts that the world is filled with aura?
There is obviously a better way to get better results, so the unnecessary killing can be stopped. "
The Ninth Elder shook his head, "Because it is profitable, the killing cannot be stopped. Even if the method you said is successful, it cannot stop others from hunting."
Ji Qingling nodded, "I understand what uncle means. What if this lucrative profit can no longer attract other people? By then, although not all, there will definitely be fewer people hunting, right?"
Ji Qingling suddenly thought of something else, "Uncle, if this breeding is really successful in the future, and we have enough quantities that the purchase price of one insect egg is only one spiritual stone, do you think anyone will hunt it?"
The Ninth Elder was amused by her, "How come it's so easy for this thing that hasn't happened yet to come into your mouth?"
Ji Qingling's enthusiasm was dashed by the cold water, and he suddenly became discouraged. Yes, I don't know if it will work or not.
Seeing the child suddenly become dejected again, it was somewhat similar to Ji Hui's expression when she failed in refining the medicine.
The Ninth Elder himself felt a little soft-hearted, "No matter what, I will definitely go to the clan to discuss this matter. I think it should be successful."
"Really?"
"Is your grandfather Ji Liangshan? Is your father Ji Linhai?"
Ji Qingling didn't expect that the Ninth Elder would suddenly ask this, "Yes."
"Your grandfather and I grew up together, but later he insisted on participating in those fights, and I left home for many years to travel around.
He was probably soft-hearted. Others only took care of us a few times when we were young, but he regarded us as a benefactor who was as kind as a mountain. "
The person the Ninth Elder is talking about should be the Second Elder. It sounds like the Ninth Elder and the Second Elder don't get along very well.
But naturally she couldn't accept these words, so she had to pretend to be confused, "Ah, then you are not the same generation as my grandfather? Then is it appropriate for me to call you uncle?"
The Ninth Elder did not expect that Ji Qingling's focus was so special, "If you want to call me Aunt Hui'er, then you don't have to call me uncle."
Ji Qingling quickly refused, "I think it's best to call him uncle. Uncle sounds friendly."
"Okay, leave it to me to do what you said. You don't have to worry about whether it succeeds or not."
"Yes, Qing Ling knows."
The Ninth Elder took out something from his storage bag and threw it to Ji Qingling.
"uncle?"
"Since you are Hui'er's good friend, and this is the first time she has brought you to me, how could I not give you a reward?"
"Qing Ling thanks uncle for the reward."
Ji Qingling exited the room.
The ninth elder was in a daze looking at the small ball of white powder.
This child should be the child who was saved by the spirit tree. Unexpectedly, she thought of this method now.
This is probably a matter of destiny.
