Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

"Uncle, which spiritual plant should we start with today? I've memorized everything I learned before. Also, uncle, when can I learn to make pills?"

Chaoyang looked at Wei Ying's eyes, filled with curiosity, and couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness. "Wei Ying is good in every way, except for this terrifying thirst for knowledge!"

"Aying, refining pills is not an easy task. It requires profound spiritual power and precise control of the temperature. You also need to understand the characteristics of various spiritual plants, and remember various pill recipes and alchemy techniques." Chaoyang replied with a smile, "Your current spiritual power is simply not enough to control the energy required for alchemy. However, don't worry, as long as you continue to practice hard, you will reach that level one day."

After hearing this, Wei Ying's eyes flashed with determination. "Uncle, I will definitely work harder on my training!"

"Okay, let's start today by learning about the spiritual plant Frost Flower." Chaoyang said, taking Wei Ying to a vibrant spiritual plant garden.

This frost flower has slender, whisker-like leaves, presenting a unique shape. When it blooms, the flowers display a vibrant red, emitting a unique fragrance that is intoxicating. The stamens are pale yellow, making them particularly striking. When using frost flowers, it is important to remove the stamens, as they are not the part we need. Chaoyang spoke, pointing to the small, delicate flower before him. This flower is no more than a foot tall, but its value is extraordinary, as it is a precious medicinal herb that has been growing for 150 years.

Ah Ying, come here, come a little closer, and smell this flower carefully. The fragrance of the frost flower is unique and enchanting. Once you smell it once, that wonderful feeling will be deeply imprinted in your memory, and you will never forget it. "Wei Ying followed the other party's instructions, stepped forward, and leaned closer to the frost flower. He took a deep breath and immediately felt a strange fragrance hit his nose. The fragrance was a little strange, but it also had a familiar feeling. He couldn't help but frown, carefully distinguishing the smell. Suddenly, he realized that this fragrance was somewhat similar to the taste of the grapefruit he had just tasted.

The fresh, sweet and sour taste of the grapefruit seemed to still linger on his lips and teeth, and now this floral fragrance actually aroused his desire for that delicious grapefruit. He couldn't help but feel a strong appetite, as if the fragrance of the frost flower was not only a pleasure for the sense of smell, but also a temptation for the sense of taste.

"Haha, this is not something you can eat."

When Wei Ying heard his own voice echoing in the air, he realized that he had accidentally spoken out what was in his heart. An embarrassed blush immediately appeared on his face.

Then he noticed that his uncle was standing beside him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised in a smile.

Wei Ying felt even more embarrassed, so he pouted and stared at his uncle, as if silently expressing his dissatisfaction and embarrassment.

Chaoyang looked at Wei Ying, whose eyes were wide open, and coughed lightly to hide the curve of his lips, but the smile in his eyes became more and more intense.

Wei Ying stamped his feet on the ground and tugged at Chaoyang's sleeves with both hands. His cheeks flushed red with embarrassment, "Uncle, don't laugh anymore!"

Chaoyang tapped Wei Ying's forehead in amusement and said, "So domineering? You're only allowed to eat greedily, but you're not allowed to laugh at your uncle?"

"Uncle, I'm not greedy, I'm just curious!" Wei Ying pouted and defended himself with a look of grievance.

Chaoyang looked at Wei Ying with a touch of fondness. "Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. However, the fragrance of the Frost Flower is truly unique. Its fragrance generator can adjust and change its scent according to the scent you desire deep down, which is why its flavor is so unique and different. It is this ability to adjust the fragrance according to personal preferences and mood changes that makes its fragrance unique. But remember, be careful when using it. Too much fragrance can cause hallucinations."

After hearing this, Wei Ying's eyes flickered with curiosity. "Uncle, besides its unique fragrance, does the Frost Flower have other uses?"

Chaoyang smiled and nodded. "Not only does the frost flower have an enchanting fragrance, it also has extremely high medicinal value. Its petals can be used to make a first-grade heart-clearing elixir. However, you must be extremely careful when collecting frost flowers, as its juice will cause severe pain once it comes into contact with the skin."

Chao Yang patted Wei Ying's head again and continued to explain, "Frost flowers usually live in places with abundant spiritual energy. The flower part, minus the stamens, is used in alchemy, while the root is needed for medicinal purposes."

"Uncle, how do we collect the roots of frost flowers?" Wei Ying asked curiously, with a gleam of curiosity in his eyes.

Chaoyang smiled slightly and explained, "Gathering the roots of frost flowers requires special techniques. First, you need to use spiritual energy to form a protective layer around the roots to prevent the juice from spilling out. Then, use a special spiritual knife to gently cut the roots, making sure not to damage the roots. Finally, carefully remove the roots and store them in a special container."

Wei Ying listened with rapt attention, his heart filled with admiration for his uncle's vast knowledge. "Uncle, you're amazing! I must study hard and become like you in the future."

Chaoyang patted Wei Ying's shoulder with relief, "Aying, uncle believes in you."

After hearing this, Wei Ying couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but also full of curiosity. "Uncle, can we collect some frost flowers today? I want to learn how to process them."

Chaoyang looked at Wei Ying's eyes, filled with curiosity, and couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. "Okay, since you're interested, let's give it a try. However, you must follow the method I teach you and don't be careless."

Wei Ying nodded excitedly and followed Chao Yang to the frost flower. Chao Yang demonstrated how to use spiritual energy to form a protective layer, then carefully used a special tool to collect some frost flower petals, juice, and roots, and then placed them into different containers.

"Aying, now you try it." Chaoyang handed the tools to Wei Ying.

Wei Ying took the spiritual knife, took a deep breath, and focused his mind. He carefully formed a thin layer of spiritual energy around the base of the frost flower. Then, following his uncle's instructions, he gently cut the flower's roots. Although his movements were a little clumsy, he eventually succeeded in removing the frost flower's roots.

"Uncle, I did it!" Wei Ying shouted excitedly, his eyes sparkling with the joy of success.

Chaoyang smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Great! From now on, let Aying help uncle get the spiritual plants, how about that?"

Wei Ying felt a surge of pride upon hearing his uncle's praise. He nodded vigorously, a determined glint in his eyes. "Of course, uncle! I will study hard and become your capable assistant."

Chaoyang smiled with satisfaction and patted Wei Ying's shoulder, "Okay, let's continue."

Chaoyang pointed to the emerald green grass beside the Frost Flower and introduced, "This is Lingyun Grass, one of the main spiritual herbs for refining Qingxin Pills. Frost Flower is equally important, and in addition, Huanling Grass is also indispensable."

"This grass has large leaves and flowers, and must be picked when the flowers are in bloom to ensure optimal medicinal effects. When refining pills, the flowers are primarily used, but the entire plant has medicinal value."

"This is……"

In the spiritual plant garden, Chaoyang patiently explained to Wei Ying the growth habits and uses of various spiritual plants. Wei Ying listened attentively, occasionally asking questions, which Chaoyang answered one by one.

"Uncle, where do these spiritual plants come from?"

"Most of these spiritual plants were collected by my uncle in the mountains, and some were grown by him himself." Chaoyang replied with a smile, "Every alchemist has his own spiritual plant garden. It not only meets our needs for alchemy and medicine making, but also allows us to better understand and master the characteristics and changes of various spiritual plants."

After hearing this, Wei Ying's eyes gleamed with longing. "Uncle, I also want to have my own spiritual garden so that I can plant and care for these magical plants myself."

Chaoyang looked at Wei Ying's eyes full of longing, "Aying, as long as you are willing to study hard, your uncle will definitely help you realize this wish. However, growing spiritual plants is not an easy task. It requires patience and carefulness. Are you ready?"

Wei Ying nodded vigorously, a determined glint in his eyes. "Of course."

"When you can make pills, your uncle will prepare them for you."

Wei Ying nodded, a glint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. "Uncle, can we cultivate some spiritual plants ourselves?"

"Of course you can. Cultivating spiritual plants requires patience and care, as well as a certain amount of spiritual power." Chaoyang explained, "However, with your current level of cultivation, it's impossible."

After hearing this, Wei Ying's eyes flashed with a gleam of unwillingness to admit defeat. "Uncle, how can I improve my cultivation?"

Chaoyang smiled faintly and patted Wei Ying's shoulder. "Aying, the path of cultivation is long and arduous, but as long as you persevere, you will surely achieve something. Your first task now is to cultivate your spiritual power, and then gradually learn various spells and mental methods."

Wei Ying nodded seriously, his eyes filled with determination. "Uncle, I will try my best."
