Immortal Cultivation: Starting from a Pharmacy Apprentice

Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Planting Medicine

Three days later, a squad of Battle Hall disciples arrived at Mi Mountain.

With their sharp eyes, they easily noticed the specks of green on the mountain.

They were stunned.

"There’s still life above the Black Prison?"

"Who the fuck has nothing better to do than decorate the mountain?"

They came back to their senses and naturally assumed the warden was responsible.

"I heard the warden changed. The new guy must be someone with a bit of leisurely taste."

"I know about that. He’s a disciple from my Broken Blade Peak."

They arrived escorting two Core Formation Cultivators, who were as limp as dead dogs, and skillfully knocked on the gate’s bronze ring.

BOOM!

The gate swung open.

Bai Mo smiled when he saw the four tall and sturdy Battle Hall disciples before him.

Over the past few days, he had learned that the Battle Hall had a Body Refining Skill, and nearly thirty percent of its disciples cultivated it.

Over the years, the physiques of cultivators who practiced the Battle Hall’s line of Body Refining Skills would all change.

Therefore, if you saw a Battle Hall disciple who was half a head taller than most people, like a little giant, you would know what kind of person you had encountered.

A battle-hardened veteran of the Battle Hall.

It was said that disciples like these had the ability to hunt down a Core Formation Cultivator on their own.

"Senior Brothers from the Battle Hall, where are you returning from?"

"The River of No Return? Or Jade Spring Pass to the west?"

Jade Spring Pass was the very fortress city that cultivators relied on to exterminate the great bandits.

"If we were coming back from the River of No Return, we would’ve brought back a member of the Sea Race for our Junior Brother to see."

"Why would we have caught these two things instead?"

It was the leading Battle Hall disciple who spoke.

Bai Mo casually took the token from the Foreign Affairs Hall. After inspecting it, he invited the four men inside.

As for the two Core Formation Cultivators being carried, who were barely breathing, Bai Mo only gave them a single glance before ignoring them.

The disciple walking at the very back suddenly sensed something. He turned to see a badger carrying a shoulder pole.

"Hm?"

The badger was a few steps behind him, about to enter in a very natural manner.

Seeing him stop, the badger also quickly stopped, unwilling to come within three steps of him.

"Heh, so Junior Brother is raising such an intelligent Spirit Beast?"

Bai Mo returned the smile.

"A very clever little thing. With its help, I can worry less about all the trivial matters."

The group walked past the stone house and headed towards the Black Prison.

Along the way, a wooden bucket set over a fire in the stone house caught the Battle Hall disciples’ attention.

The water in the bucket was a verdant green, clearly having had something added to it.

They didn’t ask, merely guessing that this Junior Brother was preparing a medicinal bath and they had happened to stumble upon him.

After entering the Black Prison and locking up the two Core Formation Cultivators, Bai Mo saw the Battle Hall disciples off.

What the latter didn’t know was that after they left, Bai Mo entered the Black Prison once more.

After making a round of inspections, Bai Mo’s gaze fell upon several Core Formation Cultivators who had been imprisoned a few days prior.

These men were all great bandits from outside Jade Spring Pass. They were heavily injured, and their auras fluctuated between deep and shallow—a very bad sign.

But after a few days of quiet recuperation, they had managed to claw their way back from the brink of death.

The men were focused on survival, unaware that Bai Mo had set his sights on them.

When Bai Mo had first taken over the Black Prison, a senior brother had brought in an old demon with the surname Qiu. He was also at the Core Formation Realm, and his body had been sealed by a restrictive technique.

Originally, this man would have been an excellent test subject. However, Bai Mo hadn’t managed to refine the Pill within a month, and now the seal inside the man’s body had dissipated.

So he didn’t dare to make a move anymore.

After selecting his target, he opened the cell door. As was his routine, he threw out a medicinal powder and forcefully shoved a Pill that paralyzed the body into the man’s mouth.

Once he was sure the Core Formation Cultivator of bandit origin had lost his strength, Bai Mo dragged him out of the cell.

As he passed old man Sun Qian’s cell, Bai Mo deliberately shot him a questioning glance.

The old man glanced at the Core Formation Cultivator, who was like a pile of mud, and gave an almost imperceptible nod.

Reassured, Bai Mo dragged the man out of the Black Prison.

Sounds of movement came from the various cells behind him.

"What audacity! A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to make a move on a Core Formation Cultivator?"

"Is he looking down on us? Does he really think he has us all in the palm of his hand?"

Someone laughed in extreme anger.

Such people were mostly also at the Core Formation Realm.

As for the Nascent Soul old demons, they merely shot a glance before looking away, paying it no more mind.

That Core Formation Cultivator with the surname Qiu stared hatefully at the cell door.

He had only been brought in recently, and his spirit had not yet been broken.

Thinking of how Bai Mo had sized him up several times before, his gaze grew even colder.

’If I hadn’t recovered so quickly, wouldn’t I be the one getting dragged out right now?’

「In the stone house.」

Bai Mo took up his brush and finished writing his inspection report for the day.

Turning his head, he saw that Ah Er had already stripped the Core Formation Cultivator’s clothes, revealing the dense scars covering his body.

Several of the wounds were in vital spots; it was a wonder how the man had survived.

Bai Mo turned him over and found a tattoo on his right shoulder.

It wasn’t some mighty, intimidating pattern, but the two words, "Yi Si."

SPLASH!

The man was thrown into the wooden bucket by Bai Mo. The shock of the hot steam cleared his muddled head a little.

Realizing his predicament, a surge of brutal rage welled up in his heart.

"You motherfucker... What are you trying to do!?"

Bai Mo was a little surprised to hear him speak.

The Pill he had made the man swallow was no ordinary item; it was designed to sever the connection between a person’s body and soul.

It was far beyond what any ordinary poison could compare to.

’To think this man could still withstand it.’

Bai Mo added more firewood under the wooden bucket and said casually:

"Don’t be anxious, Senior. I just wanted to ask you for a little favor."

After speaking, he gave a pointed look at the verdant green water in the bucket. The medicinal power within it was struggling to bore into the man’s body.

"Junior, how dare you humiliate me like this!"

Bai Mo turned a deaf ear. He rose, fetched a brush and paper, and wrote down the two words "Yi Si."

He didn’t know what the serial number meant to the man, but that didn’t stop Bai Mo from using it as his designation.

With a flip of his palm, a golden pellet wrapped in yellow silk appeared.

Bai Mo pressed the golden pellet against Yi Si’s mouth, easily making him swallow it.

The golden pellet was spicy and pungent as it went down, with a strong, irritating taste.

The spiciness spread rapidly throughout his body.

"You..."

Yi Si felt a flicker of panic. Before his expression could change, his entire body suddenly convulsed and he became stupefied.

He became like a mindless fool.

When refining the golden pellet, Bai Mo had incorporated a good deal of minerals, so its taste was truly nothing to write home about.

After waiting a moment, Bai Mo placed his palm on the man’s back and felt the Spiritual Qi surging violently from within his body.

In a place no one could see, Yi Si’s Golden Core was bright red, like a heated iron ball.

At the same time, the Spiritual Qi in his body began to circulate uncontrollably, its speed accelerating.

Finally, when the Golden Core and the speed of the Spiritual Qi reached a certain threshold, the surface of the Golden Core dissolved, and a drop of golden, molten liquid flowed down.

The molten liquid dissipated, and massive amounts of Spiritual Qi were generated, rushing toward Yi Si’s limbs and bones.

The force was so great that Yi Si’s stupefied body convulsed from time to time.

Bai Mo’s palm was knocked away. He froze for a second, then a look of intense excitement appeared on his face.

"It worked!!"

With that, he looked over at Ah Er.

"Bring the medicinal seed!"

Hearing this, Ah Er didn’t dare to delay. It hurried to the windowsill and picked up a seed that had been soaked in a medicinal solution and then dried.

He had called it down from the mountain precisely to act as his assistant.

Bai Mo took the medicinal seed, and seeing his chance, slapped it onto the crown of Yi Si’s head.

The force was so great that it directly embedded the seed into his flesh and blood.

POP!

In less than a moment, two green leaves suddenly sprouted from the top of Yi Si’s head.
