Xu Xiaoxiao's Immortal Cultivation Life (Transmigration)

Chapter 108 Nine Yang Divine Furnace

As they spoke, the flying sword landed steadily on the platform of Chongyang Peak.

The two doll-like girls, one from the first grade and one from the second grade, saw Xu Xiaoxiao and the others from afar and quickly ran towards the platform, exclaiming, "Our master is back!"

With ribbons fluttering in her hair, she looked very lively. "Master, you're finally back! We all missed you so much!" she ran up to Xu Xiaoxiao, hugged her arm, and said coquettishly.

"First and second year of junior high, I miss you too. Did you cultivate diligently while I was away?" Xu Xiaoxiao let them hug her, looking at the two little girls with doting eyes.

Jiang Jingzhi, who was cultivating in the ice cave, sensed their return. He instantly opened his eyes, stopped his cultivation, and teleported to the corner where Xu Xiaoxiao and the others' flying swords had landed.

"Junior brother, junior sister, I could hear your laughter from afar. You must have gained a lot this time," Jiang Jingzhi said affectionately.

Jiang Jingzhi was dressed in spotless white clothes, his spine straight, like a sword yet to be drawn, exuding sharpness and majesty. His hands hung naturally at his sides, his fingers long and slender with distinct knuckles, seemingly relaxed, yet subtly containing power.

"Senior Brother, I was just about to come find you!" Xu Xiaoxiao gestured for Chu Yi and Chu Er to let go of her first, and happily ran to Jiang Jingzhi's side.

Jiang Jingzhi looked at his junior sister, whom he hadn't seen for several months, and saw that she had grown much taller and more graceful. He thought that he should make some more magic robes for her, since girls should be dressed up beautifully.

"Let's go back first; you've had a long journey."

They chose the flower terrace on Chongyang Peak, where they could not only enjoy the flowers but also drink tea.

Mu Zhusheng took the Peace Ganoderma and Moonlight Grass she had found out from her storage ring and placed them on the stone table, putting them in jade boxes to ensure that the medicinal effects and spiritual energy would not leak out.

"Senior Brother, this is the biggest achievement of my trip with Junior Sister. I believe it will soon suppress the resentment in your body, so you can go out and find more opportunities instead of being trapped in the sect." Mu Zhusheng happily showed off the spoils of this trip.

Jiang Jingzhi calmly took out his white jade cup, brewed some Immortal Spirit Mist Tea, and placed it in front of them.

"Thank you for your hard work, junior brother. Junior sister has to go to great lengths for me even though she's away from home. I thank you both. Have some tea." Although Jiang Jingzhi didn't show it on his face, he was very happy inside. His master, junior brother, and junior sister all cared about him because of his affairs, so he had to become stronger so that he could protect them in the future.

"Senior Brother, this is what we should do. Besides, we didn't put in much effort. It's mainly because you, Senior Brother, are so farsighted and gave us so many spirit stones in advance. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to get the Moonlight Grass." Xu Xiaoxiao admired her senior brother even more.

"Senior Brother, here's your little doll back. I wonder if you experienced the liveliness of Immortal Spirit City this time?" Xu Xiaoxiao carefully took the little doll out of her bag and placed it on the table.

"Although I didn't go in person, thanks to my junior sister, I also experienced the prosperity and liveliness of Immortal Spirit City, as well as the hardships of your journey." Jiang Jingzhi put the doll away, feeling gratified to have witnessed the growth of his junior brothers and sisters.

Mu Zhusheng suddenly became serious. "Starting tomorrow, I will go into seclusion to cultivate and raise my alchemy skills to the ninth level. Only in this way can I ensure the success rate of the Purifying Pill."

“There’s no rush. Cultivation is a gradual process. Besides, we’ve gathered all the spiritual plants, so forming the pill is only a matter of time. Junior Brother, don’t be too hasty,” Jiang Jingzhi advised, fearing that Mu Zhusheng might develop inner demons if she was too hasty.

"Senior Brother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Mu Zhusheng said, understanding what her senior brother was worried about.

"This Nine Yang Divine Furnace is for you, but don't be too hasty in using it." Jiang Jingzhi took out a furnace cauldron carved with a golden crow spitting out the sun from his storage ring and handed it to Mu Zhusheng.

At that moment, the surrounding air seemed to tremble.

The golden crow spitting out the sun carved on the furnace shone with an ancient and mysterious light, which was like a lively flame that danced around the divine furnace.

Mu Zhusheng's eyes widened instantly, filled with shock and admiration. Her mouth opened slightly, as if her soul had been captured by the ancient divine furnace before her.

He involuntarily reached out his hands, but stopped just before touching the divine furnace, as if afraid that his recklessness would desecrate such a treasure.

"Senior Brother, this...this is the Nine Yang Divine Furnace?" Mu Zhusheng's voice trembled slightly, his gaze fixed on the furnace, unwilling to look away even for a moment.

Jiang Jingzhi smiled and nodded, gently handing the divine furnace to Mu Zhusheng. "Junior brother, for many years I have not found a suitable opportunity to use this furnace to its fullest potential. Now you need to refine the Purifying Pill for me, and it may be able to help you."

Mu Zhusheng carefully took the divine furnace, gently stroking the patterns on its surface, feeling the aura emanating from ancient times. "Senior Brother, such a precious item, I..."

“Junior brother, we are fellow disciples, why be so formal? You have done your best for me, and this furnace will surely be able to reach its full potential in your hands.” Jiang Jingzhi looked at Mu Zhusheng with sincere eyes.

At this moment, a gentle breeze swept across the flower-covered grounds of Chongyang Peak, causing the surrounding flowers to sway softly, as if witnessing this scene.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, dappling the two people and adding a touch of tranquility and peace to the scene.

Mu Zhusheng gripped the Nine Yang Divine Furnace tightly, her eyes gleaming with determination. "Don't worry, Senior Brother. With the help of this divine furnace, I will do my utmost to improve my alchemy skills and refine the Purifying Pill as soon as possible to help you dispel your malevolent energy!"

Jiang Jingzhi put his hands behind his back, tilted his head slightly, and nodded with a look of relief. He said, "I am relieved to hear your words, Junior Brother. However, don't put too much pressure on yourself. The path of cultivation is long, so it's best to be cautious." After saying that, he looked at Mu Zhusheng with gentle eyes.

Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled, as if she had discovered a new and exciting toy. She skipped and hopped closer to the divine furnace, pointing her slender fingers at the furnace body. Tilting her head, she asked curiously, "Senior Brother, this Nine Yang Divine Furnace looks really powerful. With it, Second Brother will definitely be able to successfully refine the pills this time! Second Brother, have you already figured out how to start?"

After saying that, he clasped his hands together in front of his chest and looked at Mu Zhusheng with anticipation.

Mu Zhusheng rested her chin on her hand, frowned slightly, and revealed a thoughtful look in her eyes. After a moment, she spoke: "Although I have some plans, I still need to explore the power of the Nine Yang Divine Furnace. I need to consult some ancient books to see if there is any information about its refining method."

As he spoke, he tapped the table lightly with his other hand, making a rhythmic sound.

Jiang Jingzhi crossed his arms, looking calm and composed, and added, "As for the ancient books, I can ask Chu Yi and Chu Er to help search for them in the library. You just need to focus on familiarizing yourself with the characteristics of the divine furnace and your cultivation."

As he spoke, he glanced at the first and second-year students who were waiting not far away and waved slightly.

Xu Xiaoxiao clapped her hands excitedly, her face beaming with a bright smile, and said, "Great! With Chu Yi and Chu Er's help, we'll definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort. Second Senior Brother, once you've refined the pill, Senior Brother can go down the mountain freely. Then we can go on adventures together, and maybe we can find even more treasures!"

As he spoke, he made a large circle in the air with his hands, as if he could already see the wonderful journey that the three of them would embark on in the future.

Mu Zhusheng smiled, her eyes sparkling with confidence and anticipation, and replied, "Of course, Junior Sister. This time, I owe a lot to the spiritual plants you found. Once I successfully refine the pills, you will definitely deserve some credit."

After saying that, he gently patted Xu Xiaoxiao's shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement.

Jiang Jingzhi smiled at Xu Xiaoxiao, his eyes filled with affection, and said, "Junior Sister has grown a lot on this trip. If there is an opportunity next time, I will definitely let you go to a wider place to gain experience." As he spoke, he gently patted Xu Xiaoxiao's head.

Xu Xiaoxiao jumped up excitedly, waving her hands in the air, her cheeks slightly flushed with excitement, and said loudly, "Really? Senior Brother, then I'd better cultivate hard so I won't hold you back next time we go out!"

His eyes were full of determination and longing, as if he couldn't wait to embark on a new journey.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Zhusheng took a deep breath, her expression becoming focused and serious. She carefully picked up the Nine Yang Divine Furnace, examined it closely, and then slowly walked towards the quiet room next to her, which was specifically used for alchemy.

His steps were steady and firm, each step seemingly filled with determination, his eyes fixed on the divine furnace in his hands, as if everything around him was no longer relevant to him.

Jiang Jingzhi led Xu Xiaoxiao to the stone table and sat down. He picked up the white jade cup on the table, took a sip of the Immortal Spirit Mist Tip, and looked into the distance, as if he was thinking about something.

Xu Xiaoxiao sat quietly to the side, her hands supporting her cheeks, but her eyes kept glancing in the direction Mu Zhusheng had left, silently cheering him on in her heart.
