On Kunlun Mountain, Tongtian followed Li Yi's instructions, giving Primitive three drops of Sangguang Divine Water daily and aiding him in refining it. However, Primitive's injuries showed no sign of healing; instead, he fell into a coma again.
Upon Li Yi's return to Kunlun Mountain, Tongtian was anxiously awaiting him.
Seeing Li Yi arrive, Tongtian, with tears streaming down his face, said, "Big Brother, you're finally back. Please go and see Second Brother quickly, he's fallen unconscious again!"
Hearing this, Li Yi's expression changed drastically. He rushed towards Taiqing Palace.
Upon reaching Taiqing Palace, Li Yi saw Primitive lying on a meditation cushion, his face ashen. Li Yi hurried forward to examine Primitive's injuries.
After assessing Primitive's condition, Li Yi commanded, "Golden Horn, Silver Horn, come here immediately."
Upon hearing Li Yi's voice, Golden Horn and Silver Horn rushed to his side. Before they could speak, Li Yi immediately said, "Go quickly to the medicinal field, gather the Soul-Returning Grass, Ziyang Grass, Guiyuan Ginseng, Seven-Leaf One-Branch Flower, and Zhu Ye Fruit. Bring them to the alchemy room for me."
Golden Horn and Silver Horn understood that Li Yi intended to refine pills to heal Primitive and immediately hurried towards the medicinal field.
Li Yi then said to Tongtian, "Third Brother, immediately lend your spiritual energy to Second Brother. Continue until I return. Remember, give it slowly, little by little. Absolutely do not give too much, as Second Brother's body is very weak right now!"
After speaking, Li Yi immediately headed for the alchemy room.
After Li Yi left, Tongtian quickly circulated the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, transferring his spiritual energy, bit by bit, to Primitive.
Arriving at the alchemy room, Li Yi entered the Chaos Orb and retrieved a section of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, the Great Red Robe, and the Yellow Middle Plum. He also took out the Ginseng Fruit Tree, the Fusang Tree, the Moon Laurel, the Flat Peach Tree, the Bodhi Tree, and the Bitter Bamboo.
To ensure success, Li Yi divided these branches and the Bitter Bamboo into three equal sections. This way, even if the first attempt at refining failed, he would still have other materials. Although Li Yi's alchemy cultivation ensured no accidents, concerning Primitive, Li Yi dared not be careless.
Before Golden Horn and Silver Horn could deliver the auxiliary ingredients, Li Yi began warming the furnace. Shortly after he started, Golden Horn and Silver Horn arrived with the required medicinal materials. Li Yi also noted with satisfaction that they were all ancient spiritual herbs, further affirming his confidence in Golden Horn and Silver Horn.
Seeing that the auxiliary spiritual herbs had arrived and the furnace warming was nearing completion, Li Yi said to Golden Horn and Silver Horn, "You two guard the door. Do not let anyone in to disturb me!"
Upon receiving the order, Golden Horn and Silver Horn immediately took up their positions at the entrance of the Alchemy Hall.
After Golden Horn and Silver Horn departed, Li Yi placed the Fusang Tree branch into the furnace. Once it glowed fiery red, Li Yi sequentially added the Flat Peach Tree, Bitter Bamboo, Bodhi Tree, Moon Laurel, Yellow Middle Plum, Great Red Robe, Ginseng Tree, and Enlightenment Tea Tree into the furnace.
Although the Nine Revolutions Meridian-Shaping Pill was named "Nine Revolutions," it did not require the lengthy refinement process of the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir. On the contrary, the key to its formation lay in an instant.
As Li Yi watched these celestial spiritual roots refine, he immediately placed the Zhu Ye Fruit into the furnace. After it had half refined, he added the Guiyuan Ginseng and the Seven-Leaf One-Branch Flower. When these two spiritual herbs had refined to one-third, he added the Ziyang Grass and the Soul-Returning Grass.
Once all the medicinal ingredients in the furnace had been refined, Li Yi suddenly struck the alchemy furnace with forty-nine hand seals. Instantly, the medicinal ingredients and spiritual root essences within the furnace began to swirl, gradually merging and soon coalescing into a seven-colored luminous mass. Li Yi then formed a hand seal, causing the luminous mass to split into nine portions, which soon formed nine pills.
Seeing that the pills were formed, Li Yi struck the alchemy furnace with his palm, and the furnace, formed from spiritual energy, immediately dissipated. The moment the alchemy furnace dispersed, heavenly tribulation clouds gathered, accompanied by thunder and lightning. A bolt of lightning struck the pills.
After enduring the tribulation, the nine pills radiated a brilliant seven-colored light. Li Yi waved his hand and collected them into a porcelain bottle.
Upon the successful refinement of the Nine Revolutions Meridian-Shaping Pill, Li Yi immediately left the Alchemy Hall and headed towards the main hall. Golden Horn and Silver Horn followed closely behind as Li Yi emerged.
When Li Yi arrived at the main hall, Tongtian immediately ceased circulating the Nine Revolutions Profound Art. Li Yi quickly administered one Nine Revolutions Meridian-Shaping Pill to Primitive and assisted him in refining it.
Shortly after taking the pill, Primitive slowly regained consciousness. Seeing Primitive awaken, Tongtian, overwhelmed with joy, cried, "Big Brother, Second Brother is awake! He's awake!"
Li Yi's eyes glistened with tears as he said to Primitive, "Second Brother, you have suffered!"
Although Primitive had been unconscious, he was aware of his surroundings and knew that Tongtian had been caring for him daily. He also learned from Tongtian that Li Yi had gone out to find medicine for him. Two streams of hot tears flowed from his eyes as he said to Li Yi and Tongtian, "It is my incompetence that has caused Big Brother and Third Brother so much trouble!"
Seeing Primitive speak this way, Tongtian quickly comforted him, "Second Brother, please do not say such things. It was that old mudfish, Ancestral Dragon, who bullied you because of his high cultivation. Second Brother, recuperate well. Once you have recovered, we will go and raze his lair."
Li Yi also shook his head, "What is Second Brother saying? As long as you recover, what we have done, Third Brother and I, is insignificant?"
Primitive choked up, "Thank you, Big Brother and Third Brother!"
Li Yi quickly said, "Your recovery is paramount. Although I have helped you refine the Nine Revolutions Meridian-Shaping Pill, you must absorb its power yourself. Hurry and circulate your energy to absorb it!"
Upon hearing this, Primitive began to circulate the Nine Revolutions Profound Art to absorb the medicinal power of the Nine Revolutions Meridian-Shaping Pill within his body. As Primitive absorbed the pill's potency, his internal spiritual meridians were slowly reshaped with the assistance of the Nine Revolutions Meridian-Shaping Pill.
Li Yi knew this process would be agonizing, akin to scraping bone and cutting flesh, and thus remained by Primitive's side throughout. Sweat poured down Primitive's face like rain, yet he did not utter a sound. Seeing this, Li Yi's heart ached, and he became even more determined to make Ancestral Dragon pay.
Qi Lin, knowing Li Yi had returned, excitedly headed towards Taiqing Peak. However, at the foot of the peak, he saw a green ox. Qi Lin assumed it was an ordinary green ox that had wandered in and approached it to drive it away.
Qi Lin said to it, "Go away, go away! This is no place for you!"
After Qi Lin spoke, the green ox looked up at him, then continued to graze on spiritual grass. Qi Lin found it very strange. As the麒麟 (Qilin) were the lords of beasts, this clumsy ox completely ignored him. He decided to teach it a lesson, but before he could make a move, the green ox kicked him flying.
Duobao, witnessing this, quickly went to help Qi Lin, only to find him unable to move.
Li Yi, watching from behind Taiqing Palace, saw Qi Lin's predicament and felt the young man was courting death. This green ox was a rare celestial beast with a cultivation base at the early stage of Da Luo.
Li Yi's voice boomed, "Chen'er, do not be rude. This is my mount. From now on, you will treat it as you treat me!" He then said to the green ox, "You ox, you have just arrived, and he doesn't know you. Forgive him this time!"
After Li Yi spoke, Qi Lin was able to get up from the ground and immediately bowed to the green ox, saying, "Thank you, Senior!"
The green ox let out a "moo" and continued to eat grass. Seeing this, Qi Lin quickly led Duobao to Taiqing Palace to see Li Yi.
Upon arriving at Taiqing Palace, the two bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Martial Uncle!"
Li Yi nodded and said, "Your Second Martial Uncle needs to rest. Golden Horn, Silver Horn, take these two to the medicinal field to play! And pick some fruits to bring back; Second Brother might want some later."
After receiving Li Yi's orders, the four headed towards the medicinal field.
After they left, Tongtian asked Li Yi, "Big Brother, how long will it take for Second Brother to recover?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "Soon! Very soon!"
Just as Li Yi finished speaking, a powerful aura emanated from Primitive. Li Yi burst into laughter, "Congratulations, Second Brother, on your complete recovery!" Tongtian also said, "Congratulations, Second Brother!"
As soon as their words fell, Primitive stood up from the meditation cushion.
