In the backyard.
The moon hung high in the branches.
Tang Xiaobao looked at Xue Jing’s extremely serious expression and sensed the gravity of the situation.
“You want to condense a Xuan Dan again?”
“That’s right.”
“Four times?”
“Yep.”
Xue Jing sucked in a sharp breath.
He carefully studied his disciple’s face and noticed that Li Mo was dead serious—more serious than last time when he talked about jumping into the alchemy furnace.
Condensing Xuan Dan four times…
This idea was even more outrageous than before.
“Little Mo, the broken Dan becomes stronger after re-cultivation; that’s all from fairy tales, just nonsense from those authors. You absolutely cannot believe it.”
Old Xue thought that Little Li had watched too many fantasy stories.
After all, those stories always have a protagonist who loses all their cultivation and comes back stronger after re-cultivation.
Little Mo was still young and his master was Shang Wu; he probably was still feeling his way through the martial arts world, like crossing a river by feeling for stones.
So he was likely to believe in such wild fantasies.
Li Mo was momentarily stunned, confused:
“I’m not planning to break the Dan and re-cultivate.”
“Then what do you want?”
“I’m planning to condense four additional Xuan Dans and store them in my Dantian.”
“What the heck?!!”
The Dan pill that Xue Jing had just received went splat on the ground, forgotten in the heat of the moment.
He lamented:
“Oh no, Little Bao, who knows if your second senior sister can fix this mess.”
“Elder Xue, I’m not sick! Last time, I went into the furnace with Senior Brother Little Bao, and we succeeded, didn’t we?”
Li Mo smiled wryly.
“Someone who drools and claims they’re fine can’t be trusted.”
Xue Jing’s facial muscles twitched as he recalled the scene of the two of them successfully condensing the Xuan Dan.
“This isn’t some whimsical idea that just happens to work; last time was a fluke.”
“By the way, can your Dantian actually hold four Xuan Dans?”
“Sure it can.”
“Right, I told you…..”
Before Xue Jing could finish his sentence and continue to dissuade Li Mo from straying down the wrong path, he suddenly froze.
Floating in front of Li Mo, three Xuan Dans had already appeared.
One representing extreme Yang, one representing extreme Yin, and one sword pill.
The three were moving along mysterious, intricate trajectories, totally not interfering with each other—vision blurring yet very clear at the same time.
The three Xuan Dans were remarkably harmonious, showing no signs of conflict at all.
“Now that looks like fun.”
Tang Xiaobao’s eyes lit up.
His little body shimmered with a faint gold hue as he conjured a Nine Qi Tiger-Dragon Gold Dan and joined the trio of Xuan Dans in their dance.
“Hahahaha!”
Tang Xiaobao jumped and danced with glee.
“Little Bao, be careful! Don’t come into contact with the sword pill! It looks round, but it’s incredibly sharp.”
“Ha, don’t worry!”
After Little Bao joined in, the four Xuan Dans fluttered together, still without any stuttering feeling.
Xue Jing: “…..”
He couldn’t understand how this was even possible.
No wonder Little Bao said that Little Mo had a big Dantian.
Speaking of which, what kind of physique does this kid even have?
Little Ice Girl’s Dantian couldn’t possibly be like this…
Clearing his throat, he continued:
“If you want to condense more Xuan Dans, you can’t just make duplicates; thus, you must focus on different heart methods one by one.”
“That’s too time-consuming! It’d be better to concentrate my energy on Guan Shen.”
Li Mo manipulated Little Bao and the three Xuan Dans as he chuckled:
“Don’t worry, Elder Xue, I’ve got quite the talent for heart methods.”
Xue Jing hesitated: “Having talent is one thing…”
Li Mo interjected: “I do have talent in practicing heart methods; learning three advanced techniques in a day is no problem.”
Setting aside the prerequisite of having sufficient martial insights.
Recently, under the guidance of Little Jiang and through investments in Hengyun Sword City, Li Mo’s martial insights had noticeably improved.
Xue Jing: “?”
Old Xue didn’t believe it.
After a cup of tea’s worth of time, he began to have doubts.
He promptly took out two high-level heart methods, which the little brat Ke Mo grasped in just a tea’s worth of time.
Actually… Ke Mo was still hugging the wall, afraid of Old Xue’s high bl**d pressure.
Pretending to comprehend for quite a while…
So.
There was still one last piece of the puzzle to complete Ke Mo’s plan.
Xue Jing stroked his long beard, hands trembling slightly:
“My external methods aren’t perfect; your condensed Xuan Dan is ultimately different from Little Bao’s.”
“I thought about that long ago.”
Ke Mo took out the “Great Purity Golden Liquid Divine Method” from his bosom and spread it open on the table:
“Regarding your external methods, I fortuitously stumbled upon an ancient text, leading to a somewhat immature idea…”
“If Little Bao assists from the side.”
“Then the success rate of this plan will be… one hundred percent!”
“Divine method? Let me see what’s going on…”
After flipping open the divine method.
Old Xue’s expression shifted from seriousness to shock, then to realization.
Finally… filled with wisdom!
…
In the end, Xue Jing’s expression was complicated as he started preparing to refine the ‘Dan.’
In the Dan furnace.
Ke Mo and Little Bao sat down in their previous positions.
“Little Bao, everything else stays the same as before, but you need to try to operate according to my running method, use the medicinal power.”
His idea was to follow the external methods from the “Great Purity Golden Liquid Divine Method” to avoid awkwardness like searching for something in the dark.
Then, with Little Bao’s support, he could accelerate the speed of Dan creation.
“Alright!”
Tang Xiaobao was quite confident.
Everything was prepared.
The next moment.
The Dragon-Tiger Dan furnace erupted with flames, like a volcano, instantly filling the interior.
Ke Mo wasn’t the same as before; he harnessed true fire that turned out to be of far superior quality than in the past.
With his powerful consciousness soul, he controlled the flames with increasingly fine precision.
“I feel a bit hot.”
Tang Xiaobao appeared quite happy.
He felt that tons of heavenly resources had transformed into pure medicinal power in no time.
Looking at the one person and one Dan in the furnace, Xue Jing’s expression was not only complex but also a bit excited.
Perhaps…
In the future, the opportunity for Little Bao to complete his Nine Qi might just lie with his own disciple.
He once thought he would never see Little Bao’s Nine Qi completion in this lifetime and could only trust the descendants of Danding Peak.
But now he could see a glimmer of hope.
With a pinch of his fingers…
With Ke Mo in charge and Little Bao and Xue Jing supporting, the methods from the “Great Purity Golden Liquid Divine Method” were beginning to display their magic.
After extracting various materials, they solidified into the form of a Dan.
This was merely the initial shape.
At the time, Old Xue had only managed to get to this step.
That’s why he could refine his external Dan into… well, nothing.
At this time, Tang Xiaobao had been crafted into the perfect fit and was resonating slightly with Ke Mo using the “Eight Treasures Devouring Gold Method.”
The embryonic form of the Xuan Dan resonated as well, appearing to be sculpted yet also seeming to grow naturally, with veins emerging.
It was gradually completing, nearing a true Xuan Dan…
…

Did the audience bring me some juice? (Sifting through)
No juice? That’s fine, I didn’t particularly need it… Alright, Little Pu Street really wants it. Orz
