Jin Xi's hand froze in mid-air, her red eyes welled with tears, and she pouted in grievance:
"But I also want to help the Emperor cultivate the Soul-Nourishing Grass..."
The disciples in the hall all turned their heads, their gazes towards Jin Xi filled with a hint of heartache.
This young master Qilin was pure and enthusiastic, and he held the Emperor in the highest esteem. At this moment, he was being sternly stopped by Shuangyue, and his appearance was truly endearing.
Master Jiuyang stroked his beard and chuckled, then spoke up to smooth things over:
"Frosty Moon, you don't need to be so harsh. Little Qilin has a sincere heart."
As he spoke, he flicked his finger, and a stream of purple-gold spiritual energy landed in Jinxi's palm, transforming into a thin protective shield!
"I will use my spiritual power to shield him from the heat, so that he can only taste it briefly and know how difficult it is to cultivate spiritual plants."
Shuangyue frowned slightly, but finally relented, took a pair of ice silk gloves from the maid, and personally put them on Jinxi:
"Remember not to use force. Just gently hold the jade bowl and feel the coldness of the cold jade soil. Do not stay there for too long."
The moment the glove touched Jinxi's palm, a chill seeped through the fabric, and Jinxi revealed a smug smile.
Jin Xi carefully took the jade bowl handed to her by the maid, and under Shuang Yue's guidance, gently scooped up a small spoonful of cold jade soil.
The spiritual soil did not melt in his palm. Instead, under the protection of the purple-gold shield, it shimmered with a faint blue light, as if it contained a handful of shattered ice and stars.
His eyes lit up, and he was about to raise his hand to take a closer look when the Qilin Fire within his body began to stir uncontrollably!
Next breath...
A ripple spread across the palm shield, and the edge of the cold jade soil instantly turned into a wisp of white mist, dissipating into the air.
"ah!"
Jin Xi exclaimed in surprise, quickly withdrawing her hand, her face full of annoyance.
"Blame me……"
"It doesn't matter."
Frosty Moon gently soothed him, her fingertips wielding spiritual energy across his jade bowl, stabilizing the remaining cold jade soil.
"The Qilin Fire is inherently a fire of extreme Yang, so it is already quite remarkable that it can achieve this."
"If you really want to help, then bring me the moon dew you collected!"
"After the disciples have finished planting, you will water them yourself. The moonlight and dew are yin in nature, which will be just right to neutralize the fire in your body. It will also not disappoint your willingness to risk going to the cliff behind the mountain to pick them."
Upon hearing this, Jin Xi's worry instantly turned to joy. She immediately took the small jade bottle from her waist, held it out to Shuang Yue with both hands, and her eyes shone as if they held the sun within them.
"Okay! I'll go pour out the Moon Dew right away, I'll be very careful not to spill a single drop!"
After speaking, Jin Xi tilted the jade bottle slightly.
Moonlight dew dripped down like a fine stream, refracting into a rainbow of colors under the sunlight!
Each drop is like a solidified star, its crystal-clear surface shimmering with a faint silvery glow...
Ding! !
The moment the dewdrop touched the cold jade soil, it produced a crisp sound like a wind chime, and ripples spread outwards.
"Look!"
One of the disciples exclaimed in surprise.
The once still seedlings of the Soul-Nourishing Grass began to sway slightly, and fine silver veins appeared on their tender green leaves, as if they had been kissed by the moonlight.
Frost Moon is shocked!
This moon dew is ten times purer than usual; it must have been the essence that Jinxi collected at the very top of the cliff, risking a fall.
Just then, the Qilin Fire within Jin Xi's body seemed to be stimulated by the chilling energy of the Moon Dew, and began to surge uncontrollably.
Zizizi! !
The purple-gold shield in his palm fluctuated violently, and the moon dew condensed into tiny ice crystals in mid-air, then quickly turned into mist.
Whoosh!
Master Jiuyang quickly intervened, using a burst of spiritual energy to stabilize the situation.
"It doesn't matter!"
Frosty Moon, however, revealed a rare smile.
"This precisely proves that Moon Dew and Qilin Fire are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, making it the perfect opportunity to cultivate Soul Nourishing Grass."
She led Jinxi aside.
"You should stay here and calm your mind to regulate your breathing. Once the Qilin Fire and Moon Dew reach a balance, that will be the time when you can truly help."
Jinxi sat cross-legged, feeling the wondrous fusion of Yin and Yang energies within her body.
However, under the nourishment of the moon dew, the Soul-Nourishing Grass quietly bloomed its first pale purple bud.
Shuangyue looked at his focused expression, her eyes reddening.
The embarrassing scene from last night at the Alchemy Pavilion flashed through my mind again.
She quickly averted her gaze, cleared her throat, and addressed the disciples:
"Fellow cultivators, please continue to collect your Cold Jade Soil!"
"Remember this: when planting, you must gently spread out the roots of the Soul-Nourishing Grass!"
"The soil covering should not be too deep, just enough to cover the roots, leaving a three-tenths gap for the moon dew to seep in."
The disciples stepped forward in response, and the Hall of Soul Nurturing was once again restored to its orderly state.
Wei Ranzhu sat in the front row, but her gaze kept drifting towards Jin Xi, her eyes filled with complex emotions, as if she was pondering something.
Qingyan stood beside Master Jiuyang, her hands still crossed in front of her. Looking at Jinxi, her smile grew even brighter, and the green light spots around her swayed gently.
The scene changes.
Inside the side hall of the Soul Nurturing Hall.
Luo Ge, dressed in a snow-white long dress, stood on the high platform.
"The Soul-Nourishing Grass prefers shady and damp conditions and needs to be watered with moonlight and dew every three days..."
Her voice was clear and melodious, like pearls falling onto a jade plate.
More than a hundred disciples of the Tianyan Sect, dressed in blue and white disciple robes, sat upright and listened attentively!
Everyone tied their hair up with bright blue headbands, forming high ponytails, exuding energy!
Only Mu Qing in the third row leaned back in her chair, arms crossed, her brows furrowed with dissatisfaction.
"boring!"
Mu Shaoxuan sat calmly to one side, his expression indifferent.
"Mu Qing, study hard. The Emperor is about to go into seclusion and needs a lot of Soul Nourishing Grass."
"What does the Emperor's seclusion have to do with me?"
Mu Qing sneered.
"Ha! I don't rely on him to improve my cultivation."
These words caused an uproar. The disciples looked at each other, whispering among themselves.
"Junior Sister Mu is far too presumptuous..."
"She's always been like that, too impatient."
"But the Emperor's seclusion concerns the safety of the entire cultivation world..."
"Shut up!"
Mu Qing roared!
The sound echoed throughout the entire side hall.
The disciples were terrified!
They all covered their mouths and stopped making a sound.
Mu Shaoxuan, who was beside Mu Qing, advised:
"Mu Qing, don't be like this, focus on your studies."
"What's there to learn!"
Snapped!
Mu Qing slammed her hand on the table and stood up, her blue and white sleeves flipping over the teacup!
boom! !
"You think I wanted to come? My master forced me to!"
The whole hall was in an uproar.
On the stage.
Luo Ge's gaze turned slightly cold, yet she still smiled.
“Disciple, if you do not wish to learn, then go back.”
"Exactly what I want!"
Mu Qing turned to leave, but Mu Shaoxuan gently tugged at her sleeve.
"Wait a minute."
Mu Shaoxuan said gently.
"The Soul-Nourishing Grass is not only used by the Emperor, but can also help you stabilize your mind."
Mu Qing's expression changed slightly, but she still stubbornly said:
"I, Mu Qing, don't need it!"
Luo Ge appeared in a flash to stop Mu Qing, lightly touching her brow with her fingertip:
"Excessive anger leads to an unstable soul."
Do you know why you always encounter bottlenecks in your cultivation?
Mu Qing was taken aback; the slight chill made her heart flutter.
"The Soul-Nourishing Grass is not for the Emperor, but for yourselves."
Luo Ge's voice was gentle and soft.
"Your master asked me to take special care of you."
"care?"
Mu Qing scoffed!
"Ha! I, Mu Qing, need no one to take care of me!"
"is it?"
Luo Ge took out a jade slip from her bosom.
"Your master entrusted me to pass on this incomplete 'Fire Separation Technique'..."
Mu Qing's expression changed drastically:
"you……"
“Your master said that if you are willing to calmly study the Soul-Nourishing Grass, he will pass on the complete technique to you.”
Luo Ge put the jade slip into her sleeve.
"Otherwise, you will never be able to control the fire within your body."
"Soul-nourishing grass, the nourishment for the soul."
Her voice was soft.
"It is not only for the use of others, but also the foundation of the cultivator's mind and character."
"You have an impatient temperament, and this herb is exactly what you need to temper it."
Mu Qing was stunned, her gaze involuntarily falling on the glowing Soul-Nourishing Grass.
Mu Qing bit her lip and remained silent.
She has had an unusual fire within her since childhood, which often gets out of control and hurts people...
"Sit down."
Luo Ge's voice was gentle.
"I will teach you how to use the Soul-Nourishing Grass to stabilize your mind."
Mu Shaoxuan said softly:
"Mu Qing, listen to Senior Luo."
Mu Qing hesitated for a moment, then slowly sat down, her gaze still stubborn:
"I'll only listen for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."
Luo Ge laughed softly.
"Okay, then I'll start with the very basics..."
The sunlight is gradually shifting!
Only Luo Ge's clear voice and Mu Qing's occasional questions remained in the side hall.
Mu Shaoxuan looked at the two of them, a knowing smile appearing on his lips.
After one stick of incense!
Mu Qing not only didn't leave, but instead moved closer to the high platform!
She held a bamboo slip in her left hand and a brush in her right, carefully recording every detail.
When Luo Ge got to the crucial point, she even unconsciously moved closer, her hair almost touching Luo Ge's sleeve.
"The Soul-Nourishing Grass must be cultivated with a focused mind and spirit."
Luo Ge said softly.
"Just as the fire within you must be overcome by gentleness."
Mu Qing looked up and met Luo Ge's smiling eyes.
"I understand."
Luo Ge gently placed the jade slip in front of her:
"The complete cultivation technique is something you deserve."
Mu Qing gripped the jade slip tightly, bowed slightly, and softly thanked him:
"Thank you, Senior Luo!"
