Chapter 223 You call this Foundation Establishment Elixir?

The best spiritual stone?

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Lao's heart stirred.

In the Dou Qi Continent, the concept of spirit stones also exists, but the spirit stones here are not the same as those in the cultivation world. Instead, they are a general term for various special stones that contain energy.

This is truly the first time that Elder Yao has ever seen a spirit stone so directly labeled as top-grade!

He walked solemnly to Xiao Yan's side, picked up the blue crystal, and closed his eyes to sense it.

A moment later, the old doctor opened his eyes, slowly exhaled, and said in a deep voice, "Impressive!"

"This object contains an enormous amount of energy, and it seems to have undergone some kind of filtering and purification, making this energy extremely pure, almost like the origin of life as I understand it."

"This kind of energy has no threshold; it can be easily absorbed by any cultivation technique, regardless of its attribute!"

"Great!" Xiao Yan's face lit up with joy. "With this, why would I need any Qi Gathering Powder? I can just absorb spirit stones and convert them into battle qi, right?"

"..."

The old doctor glanced at him and shook his head, saying, "Kid, don't be too happy yet!"

"The energy within this spirit stone is so pure that even the spirit stone itself cannot contain it. Once it comes into contact with air, the energy within the spirit stone will flow out wildly..."

what? !

Xiao Yan was startled upon hearing this and quickly looked at the spirit stone, only to find that the spirit stone did not exhibit such a condition.

How is this going?

"Don't worry."

The old doctor smiled slightly: "What I just said will only happen when the energy is unrestrained."

"But in fact, this spirit stone contains a large number of mysterious runes, forming an inner loop matrix."

"It can reabsorb the lost energy, achieving a delicate balance between inflow and outflow. In this way, the energy will remain locked in the spirit stone, and no external force can break it!"

As he spoke, a few pale flames appeared in his palm.

Xiao Yan recognized the white flame as the strange fire that Yao Lao possessed—the Bone Spirit Cold Fire!
In the past, when refining medicine, no matter what kind of medicinal materials they were, they would be melted into medicinal liquid in an instant in front of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, which ranked eleventh on the Strange Flame List.

But this blue spirit stone was completely different; no matter how the Bone Spirit Cold Fire burned it, it remained unmoved.

"Now you understand!"

The old apothecary withdrew his pale flames and said with a hint of amazement, "This spirit stone is firmly locked by those mysterious runes. External forces cannot break it, let alone absorb energy from it!"

how so? !

Xiao Yan looked surprised, but then he shook his head, feeling that Yao Lao's judgment was too hasty.

If the energy in the spirit stone really couldn't be absorbed, why would that big shot Lin Yu put it on the group store?

Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan and said, "Of course, it's not entirely without a solution. In my knowledge, there are at least three ways to refine this spirit stone into spirit liquid and extract energy from it."

"But that would consume energy and greatly reduce the effectiveness."

"Moreover, to achieve this, at least an eighth-grade alchemy master would be needed..."

What the hell? !

Xiao Yan's eyes widened, then he smiled wryly and said, "An eighth-grade alchemy master... Teacher, you think too highly of me!"

The old man snorted, "I'm not saying I think highly of you, but I want to remind you that with your current cultivation level, you simply cannot absorb the energy in this spirit stone!"

What should I do?
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan opened the chat group and decided to ask the seniors in the group.

[Su Haoming: Spirit stones!]

[Su Haoming: That's easy!]

[Su Haoming: As long as you circulate your cultivation technique and synchronize your internal energy circulation with the spirit stones, you can join the inner circulation matrix and continuously draw energy from it.]

Can you do this?

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "It's that simple?"

[Su Haoming: Nonsense!]

[Su Haoming: This thing was specially made for us by Brother Lin. If we can't easily absorb it, what's the point?]

Xiao Yan quickly thanked him, then closed the chat group and told Yao Lao the information he had just received.

Upon hearing this, the old doctor exclaimed in amazement, "Exquisite! Truly exquisite!"

"Such an exquisite design shows that the person who created this item must have been a master!"

"It's a pity that the other party is not from this world, and I don't know if I will have the chance to meet them in the future..."

Looking at the sentimental expression on Yao Lao's face, Xiao Yan blinked and thought it wasn't impossible.

The group store offers cross-group invitations; for just 100 points, you can invite other group members to your world.

However, one hundred points is still too much for Xiao Yan at this point.

Unless he encounters a situation where he has no choice but to ask for help from other group members, he really doesn't want to waste these points.

...In any case, let's try out the effects of the spirit stones first!
Xiao Yan immediately forgot about the seven bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir he had just refined, and eagerly sat cross-legged, holding spirit stones in his hands, and began to try to absorb the energy within.

About five minutes later, Xiao Yan opened his eyes, a hint of disappointment showing on his handsome face.

As Elder Yao had said before, the energy in the spirit stone was incredibly pure, comparable to the energy of the very source of life.

However, for Xiao Yan, who currently only possesses the ninth level of Dou Qi, this level of energy is too pure, making it difficult for him to convert it into Dou Qi.

This is quite normal, since the energy in the spirit stone is the magic of the Frilian world. Even if Lin Yu has purified it to an extremely high degree, it is still impossible for it to be compatible with all the power systems of the myriad worlds.

Of course, this does not mean that spirit stones are useless to Xiao Yan.

In fact, he did absorb a lot of energy in those short five minutes.

However, the energy conversion rate is extremely low, probably less than one percent...

"That's such a waste!"

Xiao Yan looked at the spirit stone in his hand with a pang of heartache.

At this moment, his entire body was surging with fighting spirit, like a human-shaped rare treasure, constantly releasing energy outwards.

With a wave of his hand, the old medicine master absorbed all the leaking energy into the pitch-black storage ring, and said with a smile:
"As I suspected, to properly absorb the energy from spirit stones, one must first become a Fighter!"

It turns out that the old doctor had foreseen this all along...

Why didn't you remind him sooner?
Xiao Yan glanced at Yao Lao speechlessly and sighed, "It seems I still need to refine the Qi Gathering Powder first and become a Dou Zhe before anything else."

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan put away the seven bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir on the table again, preparing to go to the auction house to exchange them for some gold coins.

Just then, he received a notification in the chat group that someone had tagged him.

Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback, and quickly opened the chat group.

[Lin Yu: @Xiao Yan, is Yao Lao here?]

[Xiao Yan: I'm here, boss!]

[Lin Yu: I just saw the pill formula you uploaded, and on a whim, I tried to refine a Foundation Establishment Elixir.]

[Lin Yu: However, the materials I have are different from yours, and I don't know if the spirit liquid I refined will be effective, so I thought I'd send you a sample so that Elder Yao can see if there's anything that can be improved.]

Is there such a good thing? !
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed.

Lin Yu: Then I'll have to trouble you and Elder Yao!

[Administrator 'Lin Yu' has sent out an exclusive red envelope: [Wishing you prosperity and good fortune]]

[Group member 'Xiao Yan' has received the red envelope]

In an instant, a crystal-clear white jade bottle appeared in Xiao Yan's hand.

The old apothecary was slightly taken aback, then his pupils shrank sharply as he stared intently at the white jade bottle.

"what is this?"

"Foundation Building Elixir".

Xiao Yan smiled, preparing to tell Yao Lao what had just happened, but found that Yao Lao remained unmoved, still staring intently at the white jade bottle in his hand:

"I mean, this bottle!"

"..."

Xiao Yan was taken aback and looked at the bottle in his hand with surprise.

"It's the white jade bottle that contains the Foundation Establishment Elixir!"

"No, it's not that simple!"

The old man said with a hint of amazement, "If I'm not mistaken, this white jade bottle should be a spatial treasure, and of a high grade at that, at least comparable to a high-level storage ring!"

what? !

Xiao Yan stared in astonishment, his eyes widening as he couldn't help but look at the white jade bottle in his hand.

For something as trivial as Foundation Establishment Elixir, they're using a spatial treasure as a container...

This big shot is so arrogant?!
If Xiao Yan was merely surprised and excited by Lin Yu's arrogance, then Yao Lao's shock was clearly much deeper.

Because in this world, all spatial treasures are made of a special material called 'Na Stone', but this white jade bottle does not have the property of containing space within Na Stone, so it is clear that it is completely different from the storage rings in this world in essence!
Thinking of this, the old doctor couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

In less than an hour, he had been shocked several times by the otherworldly treasures that Xiao Yan had taken out.

Sure enough, this so-called cross-world artifact was the most outrageous adventure and opportunity he had ever seen in his life!

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan had already asked Lin Yu in the group chat. After learning that Lin Yu really didn't care about the white jade bottle and was willing to give it to him as tuition, Xiao Yan was immediately excited.

He truly didn't expect that by simply uploading a few low-grade pill formulas, he could obtain such a high-level spatial treasure for free.

"It seems I need to cultivate a good relationship with the group members from now on, especially this admin..."

As Xiao Yan thought this, he excitedly raised his head and repeated Lin Yu's words to Yao Lao.

The old doctor suddenly realized why the other party had sent him this bottle of Foundation Establishment Elixir.

He smiled as he accepted the white jade bottle, and as he uncorked it, he said, "It's only polite to reciprocate. Since that person is so generous, I can't hold back. I'll give it to him properly—"

"boom!"

Before he finished speaking, a surge of rich spiritual energy erupted from the white jade bottle, almost instantly engulfing Xiao Yan and Yao Lao.

The old doctor was startled by what he saw and quickly put the stopper back in.

As the surging spiritual energy paused, Yao Lao fell silent and slowly looked at Xiao Yan beside him:
"What did you just say this was?"

Xiao Yan replied somewhat blankly, "Foundation Building Elixir..."

The old man's voice suddenly rose eight octaves as he angrily exclaimed, "You call this Foundation Establishment Elixir?!"
