Chapter 14: Earth’s Top Spiritual Pill

Jiang Xincheng rented a single room near the school and began refining Willow Essence Pills after preparing various things.

He carefully placed willow leaves into a pot filled with water and started boiling them.

After boiling them for a while, Jiang Xincheng put the pile of willow leaves into a steamer and steamed them repeatedly over high heat.

After steaming, he boiled them again, and after boiling, he steamed them once more. After doing this several times and feeling that the impurities in the willow leaves had reduced significantly, Jiang Xincheng started frying the willow leaves in a pan.

Steaming, boiling, frying, smoking, deep-frying… and the final step was placing them into the Alchemy Furnace for refinement.

The Willow Essence Pill was an extremely simple Spiritual Sense pill that did not require high Spiritual Sense, but mainly needed precise control of the heat.

This Spiritual Pill required only one type of Spiritual Herb, which was willow leaves.

Jiang Xincheng chose to refine Willow Essence Pills because they were easy to make. His current Spiritual Sense was too low, and after careful consideration, he could only refine this type of pill.

Fortunately, this kind of pill was meant to enhance Spiritual Sense. Once his Spiritual Sense improved, he would be able to refine stronger pills.

For Jiang Xincheng, who had reached the peak of a fourth-grade Alchemist in his previous life, refining Willow Essence Pills was as simple as it could get. After a little over an hour, Jiang Xincheng opened the Alchemy Furnace, and inside lay ten gleaming green Willow Essence Pills.

A faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils, making Jiang Xincheng shudder and feel slightly intoxicated.

A smile curled at the corner of his mouth as Jiang Xincheng sat cross-legged and consumed one Willow Essence Pill.

As the pill entered his mouth, Jiang Xincheng clearly felt pure Spiritual Sense Power flow out from his throat and spread throughout his body.

Focusing his mind, uniting energy and heart, refining through countless trials, the method of divine power.

Jiang Xincheng activated the Thousand Refinements Spirit Tempering Method and began absorbing the Spiritual Sense Power flooding into his body at an extremely fast rate.

The Thousand Refinements Spirit Tempering Method was a Spiritual Sense cultivation method of the Mysterious Grade, Upper Tier. Practicing it could temper the Spiritual Sense, making the Spiritual Sense Power more refined. It was a renowned Spiritual Sense technique from his previous life and the most suitable one for Jiang Xincheng to cultivate at the moment.

Moreover, unlike Combat Techniques, cultivation methods did not have extremely high requirements for Primordial Force or Spiritual Sense. One did not need to reach a certain level to practice them.

Cultivation methods were mainly used to enhance Primordial Force and Spiritual Sense and did not cause much damage to the body.

Combat Techniques were different. When practicing them, they often damaged some of the body’s Meridians. If the body’s strength had not reached a certain level and could not withstand the power of the Combat Technique, one might be crippled before even mastering it.

If one’s strength was insufficient, they couldn’t even practice.

In his previous life, while guarding the Xuanyuan Family’s scripture repository, the strongest Spiritual Sense method Jiang Xincheng memorized was not just the Mysterious Grade, Upper Tier Thousand Refinements Spirit Tempering Method, but the Celestial Grade, Upper Tier Silkworm Devours the Sun Chant.

Unfortunately, although Jiang Xincheng had memorized the Silkworm Devours the Sun Chant, he had not fully comprehended it. Shortly after he memorized it, the Xuanyuan Family faced a great calamity, and before Jiang Xincheng could carefully study it, he was forced to jump into the deep sea.

The Silkworm Devours the Sun Chant was profound and could not be fully understood in a short time. Therefore, Jiang Xincheng could only first practice the Thousand Refinements Spirit Tempering Method, which he had already mastered to its peak in his previous life.

Firstly, he was familiar with it, so his progress would surely be fast, allowing him to reach great mastery in a short time.

Secondly, it could lay the foundation for practicing the Silkworm Devours the Sun Chant, because the Spiritual Sense Power cultivated through the Thousand Refinements Spirit Tempering Method was several times purer than that of Primordial Warriors of the same level.

Just for this reason, Jiang Xincheng could not give up practicing the Thousand Refinements Spirit Tempering Method. Moreover, it was also the best Foundation Building Spiritual Sense method, capable of laying the most solid foundation for a Primordial Warrior’s Spiritual Sense cultivation.

After careful consideration, Jiang Xincheng chose to practice the Thousand Refinements Spirit Tempering Method.

As the Thousand Refinements Spirit Tempering Method circulated, Jiang Xincheng clearly felt the Spiritual Sense in his Spirit Sense Sea growing at an extremely fast rate.

The Spiritual Sense Power contained within the Willow Essence Pill continuously surged into his Spirit Sense Sea, becoming a part of Jiang Xincheng’s Spiritual Sense.

The speed of growth was incredibly rapid.

Half an hour later, Jiang Xincheng had completely absorbed the Willow Essence Pill. In his Spirit Sense Sea, his Spiritual Sense had doubled.

White Spiritual Sense Power misted within Jiang Xincheng’s Spirit Sense Sea, and he clearly sensed everything within a few meters around him.

Soldier Realm Initial Stage—this was Jiang Xincheng’s current Spiritual Sense level.

Spiritual Sense was divided into five major realms: Soldier Realm, General Realm, King Realm, Emperor Realm, and the legendary Divine Realm.

Each major realm was further divided into three minor stages: Initial Stage, Middle Stage, and Late Stage.

Jiang Xincheng had practiced Primordial Force for several years, yet the Spiritual Sense he nurtured was only at the Soldier Realm Initial Stage, showing how difficult it was to improve Spiritual Sense.

Feeling the surged Spiritual Sense in his Spirit Sense Sea, a smile curled at Jiang Xincheng’s lips as he took another Willow Essence Pill.

Spiritual Sense Power surged out, the Thousand Refinements Spirit Tempering Method circulated, and Jiang Xincheng’s Spiritual Sense Power continued to rise, getting closer and closer to the peak of the Soldier Realm Initial Stage.

Another half hour later, Jiang Xincheng stopped his practice and stood up, deciding not to take another Willow Essence Pill.

Rapid improvement in Spiritual Sense could easily lead to an unstable foundation. Jiang Xincheng did not want to affect his future cultivation for the sake of short-term gains.

He would take the remaining eight Willow Essence Pills gradually in the future. Once he finished them, his Spiritual Sense Power should reach the Soldier Realm Middle Stage.

On present-day Earth, even ordinary Primordial Warriors in the Tendon Training Realm did not reach the Soldier Realm Middle Stage in Spiritual Sense.

His Spiritual Sense Power was now sufficient, so next he could refine some Spiritual Pills to enhance his Primordial Force. A smile curling at his lips, Jiang Xincheng prepared to go out and search for some Spiritual Herbs to refine Primordial Force-enhancing pills.

But just then, he received a call from his dormitory leader, Chen Dianming.

“Second brother, did you snatch Liu Yifeng’s brother Liu Yijun’s College Flower girlfriend?”

Hearing Chen Dianming’s words, Jiang Xincheng was stunned: “Leader, who told you that?”

“This matter has already spread throughout the entire school. Liu Yifeng posted a challenge on the Tianhai University Forum, saying that you took advantage of Lin Anan’s conflict with his brother Liu Yijun to steal the fickle Lin Anan away.”

“And because Liu Yijun went to reason with you, you arrogantly broke all ten of Liu Yijun’s fingers and beat up all the students in their dormitory. Liu Yifeng called you a beast who forcibly takes girls.”

“So he posted on the Tianhai University Forum to condemn you, saying he will settle the score with you tomorrow to avenge his brother. Now almost everyone at Tianhai University knows about this, and nearly everyone is angrily cursing you and Lin Anan. You should hide and lay low for now, don’t show your face. Wait until this blows over before coming back. I’ll cover for your absences; it’ll be fine.”

After hanging up Chen Dianming’s call, Jiang Xincheng gloomily logged onto the Tianhai University Forum and immediately saw a pinned and highlighted post at the top.

Dare to fight me tomorrow, you girlfriend-stealing beast Jiang Xincheng? I will defeat you within ten moves!
