Dika was the first to react. At this moment, she completely lost her girlish reserve. She suddenly lunged from her kneeling position and grabbed Elder Yi Potian's wet arm with her oily hands. She used a lot of force and almost pulled the lamb leg out of Yi Potian's hand.
"Elder, tell me quickly! Where is it? Let me see it! Hurry!"
"Dika, don't rush, don't rush, there must be spirit stones. I haven't gotten them yet, let me eat something first. I'm starving, I need to eat to have the strength to get the spirit stones."
The First Elder, Yi Potian, did not blame Dika for her lack of respect. After spending a long time together, he had come to accept this kind, simple, and incredibly strong-willed Miao girl from the bottom of his heart. At this moment, being tugged at by Dika's sleeve made him feel like his daughter was acting coquettishly in front of him, which was very touching.
"Oh... then you can eat it."
Dika withdrew her hand embarrassedly, and then, seeing that Yi Potian was still looking at her without making a move, her anxiety made her do something exaggerated again. She grabbed the lamb leg from Yi Potian's hand and stuffed it into his mouth, stopping just at the lip level, as if to make it easier for him to bite into it.
Ah~~
Yi Zuojun stared in disbelief at everything. The Grand Elder, who had always been aloof in his eyes, was being treated like this by a little girl. He couldn't even imagine what the outcome would be. What surprised him even more was that the Grand Elder, Yi Potian, was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and followed Dika's feeding, taking a big bite of the lamb leg and smacking his lips a few times, as if to say that it was delicious.
Yi Potian ate very quickly, but the three people next to him felt it was still too slow. After he finished eating, he was immediately dragged towards the lake by the arm of the much bolder Dika.
"Wait, I need to recover my strength first."
The First Elder, Yi Potian, gently pushed Dika aside and sat down on the sand by the lake, sitting cross-legged to meditate and cultivate.
Under the bright moonlight, the elder stood up and leaped, gliding swiftly across the water's surface, soon becoming a tiny black shadow.
Two long hours later, a figure staggered across the lake. At this moment, Lin Yao noticed that the Grand Elder's power was somewhat exhausted, because he could no longer rely entirely on the energy of heaven and earth to fly, and had to occasionally use the water to gain momentum in order to move forward.
"Sir, here you go!"
The First Elder, Yi Potian, spoke with joy and pride. He was finally able to help Lin Yao, and he felt an extraordinary sense of accomplishment.
A stone the size of a walnut was placed in Lin Yao's hand. He immediately sensed the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth and knew that this was the same kind of spirit stone he had collected before.
"Thank you, Elder! I'll be right there."
Lin Yao didn't stand on ceremony and immediately got up and walked to a secluded spot. He was eager to give the spirit stone to Xiao Cao, but he couldn't let Xiao Cao extend its tendrils to take the spirit stone in front of everyone. Of course, he couldn't swallow the walnut-sized spirit stone himself, so he had to avoid the crowd.
"Little grass..."
"Hmm... Yao Yao... what... ah! Spirit stone! You found the spirit stone?"
As if she had taken a stimulant, the little grass's weak voice immediately became excited. Without waiting for Lin Yao's reply, she immediately stretched out her lush green tentacles, snatched the temporary stone from Lin Yao's hand, and pulled it into her chest. "Great! If you give me ten more spirit stones like this, I can fully recover."
After saying her last words, Xiaocao fell silent again, presumably to draw spiritual energy from the spirit stone to heal her injuries. Although she was certain that "Chen'ai" would not recover faster than her, after millions of years, no one could guarantee what changes had occurred to the abilities of ancient beings. Perhaps "Chen'ai," like "Mingjin," possessed special abilities. Therefore, in this time of urgency, there was no time to chat.
Lin Yao didn't disturb Xiao Cao any further, shook his head, and gave a wry smile.
Ten more, ten more! This one alone is almost enough to break the Grand Elder. There might be spirit stones in the deep water, but the Grand Elder Yi Potian's current abilities simply can't go down there, let alone explore and collect spirit stones underwater. This spirit stone was obviously obtained in the shallow water, but it's still incredibly rare.
Only two areas with abnormal spiritual energy have been discovered in the entire Tianchi Lake of Tianshan. Including the spirit stone we have already obtained, it is already quite rare to produce three or nearly three spirit stones. It seems we can only try to find a way elsewhere.
Back at the simple camp, Lin Yao inquired in detail about the water conditions and methods by which Elder Yi Potian obtained the spirit stones. He then relayed Xiao Cao's request: ten more spirit stones would be needed for a complete recovery.
Ten?!
The First Elder, Yi Potian, stared at Lin Yao in disbelief for a long while before nodding emphatically, "No problem, even if I die, I'll get you ten spirit stones."
...
Time flies like an arrow, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Yao and his group searched all the Heavenly Pools, but only obtained a spirit stone at Mulan Heavenly Pool in Hubei Province. They found nothing else.
Fortunately, Lin Yao's thinking changed afterward. He didn't limit his search for spirit stones to Tianchi. He also searched other places. The four of them traveled all over the country, visiting famous mountains and rivers, and even remote, uninhabited forests and valleys. Their footprints covered every possible place.
Lin Yao had a fruitful trip to Mount Lu, obtaining a total of five spirit stones. Although these spirit stones were not large, according to Xiao Cao, their healing effects were excellent, even surpassing those of spirit stones three times their size. Lin Yao secretly thought that this might be because the spirit stones were of the water element, which gave them a special healing effect. After they took out these five spirit stones, the natural scenery of Mount Lu suffered the most severe damage.
Because the thick fog that shrouded Mount Lu all year round has disappeared!

"It's still not working, Little Grass. We've already used fifteen spirit stones, why isn't it working?"
Lin Yao sighed, feeling quite distressed. He didn't lack spirit stones; in fact, he had plenty. However, the spiritual energy extracted from the spirit stones couldn't completely solve the problem for the little grass. The last trace of the "Morning Mist"'s original toxin still remained. This toxin couldn't even be dispelled with the help of the vast spiritual energy, let alone become the little grass's own ability after consuming it.
"Alright, Yaoyao, don't think about it so much. I'm fine. Let's go down the mountain first. Maybe we can find a solution."
The little grass seemed to have grown a lot and, in turn, comforted Lin Yao.
"Okay, if we can refine that 'Grand Duke Jupiter' using your method, that would be great..."
Lin Yao sighed again, then suddenly had an idea and said, "Why don't we stop worrying about all this and have the Grand Elder call two Heavenly Realm experts from the Sun family, plus Witt. Four Heavenly Realm experts should be able to bring out the 'Tai Sui King,' and then we can find a secluded place to refine pills. That should definitely solve the toxins in your body."
"Of course, the pills refined from the 'Grand Duke Jupiter' can definitely solve the problem. But is it really okay for you to take out such a large 'Grand Duke Jupiter'?"
Xiaocao simply didn't believe it. Through the internet, she had gained a lot of knowledge about society. The complete collapse and damage of an entire famous religious building was no small matter. "Besides, can you guarantee that you have the ability to refine that 'Tai Sui King'? Even if we still have more than 30,000 'Creation Pills', we won't have enough time to replenish our true energy and control the pseudo-elixir fire!"
Xiao Cao finally realized the gap between ideal and reality. She once thought that eleven spirit stones would solve the problem, but she did not expect that the more she went, the more difficult it became to expel the poison. The four extra spirit stones consumed were of no use at all. The last trace of "Morning Mist" natal poison was still the same, as if there had been no change. She could only think of another way.
The "Tai Sui King" atop Zhurong Peak in Hengshan Mountain, Hunan Province, would be a good solution. Unfortunately, with Lin Yao's current strength, it's simply a pipe dream to refine such a large "Tai Sui King" into a pill in one go. The more precious the medicinal material, the more important it is to control the alchemical fire and various hand seals when refining pills.
