Chapter 10: Demon Sword Nightshade
With the experience of refining hemostatic grass, after consuming seven nourishing fruits and four poppy flowers, he finally succeeded in refining the essence of the two medicinal herbs.
Unfortunately, the quality is a bit disappointing.
After refining the first batch of hemostatic powder materials, Xiao Se was not in a hurry to blend the essences of the three medicinal herbs.
Compared to extracting essence from medicinal materials, integrating medicinal power is more difficult.
Repeat the previous operation, and as the number of refining times increases, the success rate and quality gradually improve.
Two hours later.
All the fighting spirit in Xiao Se's body was completely exhausted, and he collapsed to the ground powerlessly.
And he only managed to extract five portions of medicinal essence. Although each portion was better than the previous one, it was far from enough.
Holding back the pain of his empty fighting spirit, Xiao Se struggled to get up and sit cross-legged in front of the medicine cauldron, practicing the Burning Technique to restore the fighting spirit in his body.
Then continue to extract the essence of medicinal materials.
If you are hungry, go to the pool at the bottom of the waterfall to catch fish and barbecue.
When I feel sleepy, I lie down in the cave and take a nap.
After repeating this process over and over again, finally, after a week of unremitting efforts, Xiao Se extracted all the hemostatic herbs, qi-nourishing fruits, and poppy flowers from the medicinal garden in the valley.
Two hundred pieces of materials were obtained.
After consuming more than twenty pieces of medicinal essences of inferior quality, Xiao Se finally refined the first elixir in his life, the hemostatic powder.
Looking at the sticky substance in the jade bottle in his hand, Xiao Se smiled, "Now, I am an alchemist. I hope this first bottle of medicine can bring me good luck. The system will exchange the bottle of medicine in my hand for it."
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the magic sword sealed in the Demon Locking Tower in the Legend of Sword and Fairy III. ]
"Demon sword?" A look of surprise appeared on Xiao Se's face.
The magic sword, it's a magic sword.
Recalling his previous life, Xiao Se felt very sorry when he saw Long Kui throwing herself into the sword-making furnace for the second time. He didn't expect that she would fall into his hands this time.
Looking around, the hemostatic powder in his hand disappeared, but there was no trace of the magic sword. After searching in vain, Xiao Se shouted in his mind: "System, didn't I get the magic sword in exchange? Where is the sword?"
[Ding, the system has enabled the warehouse function, and all the exchanged items will be stored in the system warehouse. ]
After hearing the system's explanation, Xiao Se suddenly realized. A faint light flashed in his hand, and a strange-looking long sword with strange runes engraved on the sword body and emitting a purple faint light was suspended in front of him.
Unlike the thick and heavy magic sword in the game, the magic sword in front of him is quite similar to the one in the TV series. It is of moderate size and does not feel thick or thin.
Exhaling deeply, Xiao Se slowly approached the magic sword. The magic sword seemed to sense something and began to tremble violently, making a sharp sword sound. The sound seemed to carry endless desolation and loneliness, which made Xiao Se feel quite heavy after hearing it.
The magic sword seemed to sense Xiao Se's mood change, stopped wailing, and allowed him to approach.
Holding the magic sword in his backhand, Xiao Se felt that the fighting spirit in his body was being consumed madly, and the purple light emanating from the surface of the magic sword became more and more dazzling.
"Damn it, you're still sucking. If you continue, I'll become the second anti-inflammatory drug." He cursed softly, and Xiao Se's face turned a little ugly.
But Xiao Se had no intention of letting go. Somehow, Xiao Se felt that if he let go this time, he would most likely miss this great opportunity.
"Ah." With a roar towards the sky, Xiao Se grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, exerted force suddenly, and raised it above his head. The knuckles cracked and blood flowed out.
"Buzz——"
The blood stained the hilt, the magic sword made a muffled sound, and the purple light gradually faded.
At this time, Xiao Se's slightly pale face was covered with beads of sweat.
The Burning Technique he practiced was only of the low-level yellow grade, so its strength and durability were the lowest. Once absorbed by the magic sword, the fighting spirit in his body was instantly drained away.
The purple light completely subsided, and Xiao Se finally couldn't hold on any longer. The magic sword flew out of his hand and fell on the cold ground with a clang. Xiao Se's shoulders, which had been trying to keep his balance, finally slackened, his legs softened, and his body collapsed to the ground as if he had lost strength. He took big gulps of fresh air, his chest rising and falling violently.
His whole body was numb and it was extremely difficult for him to even lift a finger.
Restraining his fatigue and body aches, Xiao Se struggled to get up amidst the wailing. With his trembling hands, he formed the seal of cultivation and slowly closed his eyes to enter the state of cultivation.
Being familiar with the original work, he knew very well that cultivation would be most effective at times like this.
While Xiao Se was working hard to cultivate and recover his fighting spirit, the magic sword beside him made a muffled humming sound. Two rays of light, one red, and one blue, flew out from it, intertwined with each other, and finally merged into one, transforming into a graceful girl wearing a wide-sleeved fairy skirt. The girl was sometimes blue and sometimes red, and her body was fluctuating as if she had no entity. Through the girl's delicate body, one could vaguely see the scene behind her.
Staring blankly at Xiao Se who was sitting cross-legged on the ground to recover his fighting spirit, a trace of sadness appeared on the girl's beautiful face. She walked closer to Xiao Se, and raised her jade hand to touch his cheek, but stopped.
She could feel that Xiao Se's internal fighting spirit was very depleted and needed to be restored quickly.
Soon, she sat elegantly on the stone slab beside her, rubbing her cheeks, and stared at him quietly. The sadness on her face disappeared and was replaced by peace of mind and various emotions.
After practicing with eyes closed for an hour, the cyclone in Xiao Se's body, which had become dim due to the exhaustion of his fighting spirit, finally became bright again, and its brightness was nearly twice as bright as before.
After carefully checking his cultivation level, Xiao Se found that he was still a one-star fighter, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He slowly opened his eyes, and the tiredness and soreness disappeared. Xiao Se felt extremely comfortable all over. He stretched his body and twisted his neck. The bones crackled, and he moaned comfortably.
"Brother Wang, you're awake!" The heavenly voice sounded in Xiao Se's ears, so intoxicating.
"Oh my god! Wide-sleeved fairy skirt. Long Kui" Hearing this, Xiao Se tilted his head and couldn't help but exclaim.
There, a young girl in blue sat gracefully, with her cheeks raised, gazing at him tenderly.
"Brother Wang, you finally remembered Long Kui." Hearing Xiao Se calling out the name Long Kui, the girl, who was originally a little resentful, stood up and threw herself directly into Xiao Se's arms.
With the warm and soft jade in his arms, Xiao Se felt something was unreal. He shouted in his mind, "System, what's going on? Although I know that Long Kui's soul is sealed in the magic sword, why does she call me brother? I'm not Jing Tian."
[Damn, the system's products must be top-notch. The moment the magic sword and the hemostatic powder were exchanged, Long Kui's fate had already changed.]
"In other words, I replaced Long Yang in Long Kui's memory and became her brother?"
[Damn, yes.]
