Chapter 235: Chapter 146: The Secret Realm Activates the Paper Man _1
Translator: 549690339
After a few days of cultivating in the Jin Xiu Peak Cave House, Lin Yi harvested approximately three acres of mature spiritual herbs before planting some more. These herbs were also ingredients for the Foundation Building Pill.
His high-level farming spells, Rainfall Technique, and Spring Nourishing Technique, have all reached the Great Perfect Level, making them more than capable of handling not only intermediate pills made with spiritual herbs but also high-order spiritual herbs.
Sister Han Ling Shu, during the construction of this cave house at Jin Xiu Peak, purposely brought in spiritual spring water from the waterfall for the eight acres of average medicine fields, allowing spiritual herbs to be irrigated with spiritual spring water.
However, farming spells need to be used to add nutrients, though not as frequently as before. Even if the herbs are left unattended for several days, their growth will not be affected.
Once the planted spiritual herbs had sprouted and stabilized, Lin Yi prepared to go to the Secret Realm for alchemy. He had purchased a large number of materials for Qi Refining Pills through Wu Tian Zhang.
Primary alchemy skills correspond to the Qi Refining Realm, and experience can only be gained through successful alchemy. Therefore, producing primary pills is the fastest way to level up.
Before entering the Secret Realm, Lin Yi thought for a moment and took a book and a paper man from his other storage bag.
However, this paper man was covered on both sides, from top to bottom, with Exorcism Charm Scrolls of the Great Perfection level of the Foundation Building Realm.
Before entering the Secret Realm, he had placed some items in another storage bag and hid it in the Jin Qiao Peak Cave Mansion.
When he originally killed the Qi Refinement Sixth Layer Flower Thief, he got the Divine Shadow Dharma, a manual on making paper men, and the paper man itself.
However, the minimum requirement for creating a paper man was having the
Foundation Establishment cultivation level. Back then, he was only in the Qi Refinement Realm with many materials he had never even heard of, so he had to put it aside for the time being.
In the six or seven years of cultivation that followed, Lin Yi searched the sect’s library for related information and learned about some of the materials.
The main material for making the paper man is a monster beast named White Pig-Demon. The skin of this beast is extremely smooth and delicate, almost identical to human skin.
This White Pig-Demon lives in the deeper parts of the Monster Forest, and their numbers are small, making them not easily catchable.
In addition, other materials were needed to be refined with pig skin in the alchemy furnace. The final result was not a pill, but a paper man.
Mysterious symbols had to be carved on the skin afterward, resulting in a paper man that could be easily mistaken for the real thing.
Besides the White Pig-Demon, there was another material that was rare, called the Ghost Demon White Taro. It was similar to the taro on Earth, but could only grow in places filled with demonic or ghostly air, making it impossible to manually cultivate.
According to the data Lin Yi found before, some Ghost Demon White Taro have been discovered within the territory of the Sky Demon Sect and the Xuan Yin Sect, and they were treated as treasures by the two sects.
This Ghost Demon White Taro has an extreme amount of Yin Qi, which can aid in cultivation. However, this was not the reason it was considered a treasure. The most valuable aspect was that it could be used in the crafting of the Skin Beautifying Pill.
It’s said that the White Taro is extremely smooth and contains various kinds of special components which can help in maintaining beauty. It was the main ingredient for the Skin Beautifying Pill.
This Skin Beautifying Pill, after being consumed either by ordinary people or cultivators, can preserve a person’s appearance for a lifetime, making it quite popular among many female cultivators.
Because these materials were quite rare, Lin Yi felt that it was appropriate to prioritize the examination in Dan God Secret Realm. The craft of making paper men could be postponed.
However, the paper man he got from the Flower Thief had not yet been activated with spiritual power. He was concerned about the danger it might contain. Now, he had come up with a good place where he could safely ignite it.
According to the book’s records, a paper man could only be successfully made when one’s divine sense was infused into a representation of themselves on the paper man.
This could explain why the Flower Thief chose to have his own likeness on the paper man rather than any other.
Lin Yi put the paper man in his storage bag and the books in another storage bag before leaving the cultivation cave house.
When he walked to the front courtyard, he saw Zhi Ling jumping constantly in the stream. With her pink enchanting eyes, she mesmerized the fish in the water, following close behind and swimming quickly.
Previously at the Jin Qiao Peak Cave House, there were no other animals around, only some bugs. This meant that Zhi Ling could only improve her cultivation level and could not practice her natural abilities. Now, she finally had a good opportunity.
“Zhi Ling, I am going to a good place, do you want to come with me?” Lin Yi shouted to Zhi Ling. By taking Zhi Ling with him to go make pills, he could let her learn and play with the guardian beast of the Medicine Garden.
Upon hearing about going out to play, Zhi Lings eyes suddenly lit up, and she ran over chirping joyfully.
“Ahem, let’s make this clear beforehand, you can’t run off later. The Senior Python is quite nice.” Lin Yi patted Zhi Lings head, coughed, and reminded her.
The smile on Zhi Lings face gradually disappeared, and she was filled with unease. She squirmed in Lin Yi’s hands.
“Hehe, it’s too late to think about running. Get in there.” Lin Yi rubbed Zhi Lings head, activated his thoughts, and directly put her in the Spirit Pet
Column.
He opened the title panel and took a glance. In the Spirit Pet Column, Zhi Ling appeared panicky.
Lin Yi put up a sign outside his array that indicated he would be in close-door cultivation for a few days, then he activated the Defensive Array. Inside his cultivation cave house, he cast the spell given by Elder Dan God, but there was no response whatsoever..
