"Even if I mention it, he really cover up the entire Qingxua with his White Jade Tower?"

  Upon hearing this, Ziyang True Monarorted coldly, then turned a. Just as he was about to return to his cave, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the bronze mirror behind him. "The sermon will be celed. I will go into seclusion for three years this time."

  After saying this, his figure disappeared at the entrance of the cave.

  【Why bother?】

  A helpless sigh came from the bronze mirror.

  ***

  Back at the Green Bamboo Residence.

  "Sigh... still not w..."

  Sitting on the bed, Xu Taiping sighed deeply.

  After listening to Ziyang True Monarch's sermon, it was already noon. It was the perfect time to practice the "Fading Su Scripture". Xu Taiping began to practice acc to the insights he gaioday.

  However, he didn't expect that after a whole hour of effort, he still couldn't guide the spiritual energy of heaven ah into his body and transform it into true qi, as described in the "Fading Su Scripture".

  "It seems I only rely on the prescription given by Fairy Lingyue."

  Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Xu Taiping said with some unwillingness.

  This attempt made him truly experiehe difficulty of cultivating with a bone of white quality.

  Thinking of this, he took out the bronze mirrain, and pced a merit on it.

  【Xu Taiping from the Green Bamboo Residence, what do you seek from me?】

  The voice of the mirror spirit sounded from the bronze mirror.

  "Lord Xuanjing, I want to buy a batedial herbs and herb seeds."

  Xu Taiping replied.

  【With your current quality grade, you only buy medial herbs and seeds from the Hundred Herbs Hall at the foot of the mountain. These are the names of the herbs in the Hundred Herbs Hall. After you choose them in the mirror, a spirit bird will deliver them to your courtyard】

  As the mirror spirit spoke, a list of medial herbs began to appear on the bronze mirror.

  "Thank you, Lord Xuan Mirror."

  After thanking the mirror spirit, Xu Taiping began to carefully search for the herbs.

  After spending some time, Xu Taiping finally gathered all the herbs listed in Fairy Lingyue's prescription. In order to ceal the prescription, he also added some inexpensive herbs to it, and made some modifications to the weight of the herbs.

  As for the herb seeds in the herb garden, he only chose the "Nine-Leaf Purple Peril" variety, buying enough to pnt three acres of nd three times.

  There was a reason why he chose this variety.

  Acc to the records in the Jade Scroll of Transmitting Teiques, the leaves, stems, and fruits of the Nine-Leaf Purple Peril all be used as medie. The leaves be used as high-quality vegetables, and the price of the seeds is the cheapest among all the spiritual herbs. They are easy to grow, with a growth cycle from germination to fruiting of only three months. Yunlu Mountain is like spring all year round, so it is suitable for pnting three times.

  The only drawback is that the selling price is too low.

  Under normal circumstances, for every acre of Nine-Leaf Purple Peril, only thirty merit s be exged in a year, which is much lower than the ine from other spiritual herbs.

  It should be hat in the Qingxua, eaamed outer disciple o tribute one hundred and twenty merit s per year.

  Under normal circumstances, even if Taiping pnted Nine-Leaf Purple Peril on all three acres of the herb field, he would not be able to accumute enough merit s to be handed over to the sect.

  But with the spirit gathering array arranged by Fairy Lingyue in the herb field, everything would be different.

  Acc to Fairy Lihe harvest from the herb field with the small spirit gathering array arranged would triple within three years. Therefore, pnting Nine-Leaf Purple Peril would be the most cost-effective option.

  "If everything goes well, pnting Nine-Leaf Purple Peril on three acres of nd for three seasons at least exge for 270 merit s. After dedug the cost of 20 merit s and the required 120 merit s to be handed over each year, I will still have 130 merit s left. By the year, I buy better herb varieties, and maybe even have some left to buy cultivation teiques and talisman scrolls."

  After paying the moo the bronze mirror, Xu Taiping picked up a pen and paper and carefully recorded the ats.

  "After buying the herbs and seeds, I only have three merit s left. Fortunately, I have already bought a jar of rid have enough oil and salt. I will set some traps in the mountains and hunt for some game to sustain myself until the first season of Nine-Leaf Purple Peril matures."

  While rec the ats, he calcuted in his mind.

  Choosing Nine-Leaf Purple Peril as the seed had a big reason: it matures quickly, allowing him to quickly exge for merit s within three months and obtain the medial herbs needed for cultivation.

  As for the true fire talisman required for burning the seeds, he had asked the mirror spirit yesterday and received the ahat he could only purchase talisman scrolls and simir items after one year of entry. Even the most ordinary true fire talisman would ore thahousa s, which he couldn't afford in a short period of time.

  "Well, after the harvest, I will have to sider saving moo buy true fire talismans."

  Xu Taiping wrote down another entry in his at book.

  ***

  The evening.

  A spirit bird, a gray e, nded in front of Xu Taiping's courtyard, carrying a rge package.

  Finally, all the seeds and medial herbs Xu Taiping purchased had arrived.

  After relutly paying o to the gray e, Xu Taiping carried the herbs into his bedroom.

  At this time, there was a bathtub filled with hot water in his bedroom.

  This repared in advance for soaking the herbs.

  "The prescription given by Fairy Lingyue says that the materials for this prescription are ordinary. In order to exert the medial effects, the herbs must be added to the bathtub acc to the time and order specified in the prescription."

  After categorizing and weighing the herbs again using the old scale in the room, Xu Taiping stood in front of the bathtub and silently recalled the order and time for adding the herbs.

  "It should be fine."

  After a moment, Xu Taiping o himself, as if encing himself.Following that, he picked up a batedial herbs pced on an oil paper and poured them all into the steaming hot bathtub. He then started to t down silently, "8, 7, 6..."

  When the tdown reached 1, Xu Taiping quickly poured the sed batch of herbs from the table into the bathtub.

  With the addition of the sed batch of herbs, the hot water ihtub suddenly started to bubble, followed by the release of a unique fragrance, as sweet as orchids and musk.

  "It seems I didn't make a mistake."

  Xu Taiping's face lit up with joy, and he poured in another packet of herbs.

  ***

  An hour ter.

  After all the herbs were poured into the bathtub acc to the instrus on the prescription, Xu Taiping saw that the inally clear hot water ihtub had turned into a thick white slurry.

  "The medial soup is as white as jade and as thick as paste, just as the prescription described."

  Xu Taipi out a sigh of relief.

  At least from the outside, the bone-sing and marrow-cutting soup he had prepared seemed to be successful.

  Immediately, Xu Taiping quickly stripped off his clothes, revealing his lean body, and nakedly plunged into the bone-sing and marrow-cutting soup.

  "Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

  Perhaps due to the potency of the medie, even after an hour, the medial soup ihtub was still very hot. Xu Taiping couldn't help but grimace from the heat.

  If it weren't for the instrus on the prescription stating that leaving halfway would greatly reduce the efficacy of the medie, he would probably have jumped out of the bathtub by now.
