Shi Lang stood beside the old lady, who watched the young lady standing in a daze. She looked at Shi Lang and asked, "Did she just condense sword energy?"

    Shi Lang nodded and replied, "She trusted her weapon and condensed sword energy. She is now a sword master."

    The old lady took a deep breath and said, "Thank you."

    She was not a fool, and understood that it was because of Shi Lang that the young girl was able to comprehend this. The Terran shook his head and replied, "Her talent with the sword is strong, she has a sword soul. If she persists, she will become a sword fairy in the future. However, if you do not mind me asking, can I ask you something, Senior?"

    The old lady nodded and Shi Lang asked, "Her energy seems to be very chaotic. As if the spiritual flow is protesting against itself. Why so?"

    The old lady was surprised to see that Shi Lang could see this so clearly. She said, "How about you come to my clan for a meal? Then we will discuss this in detail?"

    Shi Lang hesitated, and the old lady said, "I am the clan leader of the Mist Peacock race. You will be my guest so do not worry."

    She could understand his reservations about visiting clans, after all not all Dao Beasts were friendly to humans, even though he was acknowledged by the guardians, he was still a human in foreign soil.

    They waited patiently for the young girl to finish her comprehension and she looked up at the sky. The old lady waved her hand and the spirit pressure pulled the girl over to her side. She then led Shi Lang to her clan that was situated in the mountains. The young girl was curious about Shi Lang.

    The Terran learned while waiting the that old lady was called, Matriarch Serenity. They reached the clan in a few minutes, and Shi Lang sensed many strong pressures washing over him, but Serenity snorted and the pressures were pulled back. They landed at the entrance and Serenity took Shi Lang with her. The people bowed to her and she nodded, while Shi Lang and the young girl followed her silently.

    Shi Lang estimated there to be at least twenty Dao Kings, five Dao Emperors, and one more Dao Sovereign apart from Serenity. The lady led him through the streets and they reached a lavishly decorated tree.

    Yes, the tree was surrounded by beautiful decorations, and Shi Lang could not help but mumble, "The dew parasol."

    Matriarch Serenity looked at him with surprised and said, "I did not expect young friend to be so knowledgeable."

    Shi Lang replied, "It is because I have read a lot about alchemy. This treasure is invaluable. I am grateful that I can see it once in my lifetime."

    Matriarch Serenity did not sense any greed from Shi Lang and was surprised, this human was different from all the others that have come here in the past. The old lady lived behind this tree. Dew Parasol increased the concentration of the spiritual energy and the Dao Fluctuations around this tree were very calm which aided in cultivation.

    Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "I have all but one main material needed to complete the recipe. The Dao spirit dew."

    Serenity understood what he meant, and said, "I can get you five drops, would that be enough?"

    Shi Lang pursed his lips and said, "It is enough to make one pill."

    Serenity nodded and took out a small jade bottle and said, "How long will it take for you to refine the pill."

    Shi Lang replied after some thought, "One day should be enough."

    The old lady was surprised and then she passed the bottle to Shi Lang, who said, "I will be in your backyard."

    Serenity nodded, and told Xiao Meng to lead Shi Lang to the backyard. After the duo left, Serenity asked, "Old man what do you think?"

    An old man appeared behind her and said, "He does seem to be calm and honest. However, you acted a bit stingy with the Dao Spirit Dew."

    Serenity shook her head and said, "I will never overlook the clan for my sake. Five drops each is what we get every ten years so that is what I will give."

    ...

    Shi Lang did not wait much, he was in a realm where his state of mind was very stable. He waved his hand and took out Samsara Cauldron, then with another wave he condensed a spirit fire under the cauldron with lightning sparks flashing inside it. The Terran made a few hand seals and then began to toss ingredients inside the cauldron every few hours. Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire

    The Terran refine all the material, and used their essence to form a fluid. It has been half a day since he began refining. He took a deep breath and at the final movement, he said, "Xiao Meng, a drop of your blood is required."

    Xiao Meng was standing in silence, and she nodded, before she pricked her finger and a drop of blood was condensed at the skin opening. The Terran waved his hand, and pulled the drop of blood into the void, then he took out the five drops of Dao Spirit Dew.

    He quickly used his spiritual energy to cover up the two materials because Dao Spirit Dew would evaporate otherwise. The five drops surrounded the blood drop and began to spin around it at crazy speed. Soon the drop of blood was mixed with the dew and Shi Lang pushed it inside the cauldron. The heat was reduced, and the dew blood mixed in with the herbal essence.

    Then soon the pill began to condense and the sky was completely covered with clouds and blue lightning. Shi Lang sighed and said, "Now, the tribulation begins."
