It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

Su Chen smiled.

Their soul and spirit are annihilated, and they are no longer subject to reincarnation.

That is true death.

The Golden Core stage cultivator could never bring such a person back to life.

And among the classic texts he came into contact with, apart from vernacular stories, it seemed that no one had ever mentioned this matter.

"Let the brothers of the Feather Guard make a wish."

Once the connection is established, I will find a way to help you replenish the lost vital energy.

I'm going to fish it out of the water!

Judging from previous successful cases, this guy prefers people with abundant energy and vitality.

In this small town, there are probably not many people whose energy is more vigorous than that of the Feather Guard.

As midnight approached, the stream was packed with people.

Su Chen chose a central spot from all the places where wishes were successfully made and waited alone.

Just after midnight, a surge of spiritual energy emanated from the crowd, causing a commotion.

Someone's wish came true!

This seemed like a signal, and soon after, one after another, people's wishes came true.

"what happened?

"Your appetite has gotten so big?"

Su Chen frowned, but he was still unable to go against these fluctuations of power and return to the source.

"No...it's an illusion!"

Su Chen's figure flashed by, and when he reappeared, he was already in the stream.

Enveloped in spiritual energy, it was not afraid of the somewhat cold water.

"Since you're so eager for vital energy, I have a large clump here~"

Su Chen used his spiritual energy to simulate the fluctuations of vital energy. This vital energy appeared to be exceptionally pure, far superior to the others.

But the creature in the water was extremely cautious; even though the essence was within easy reach, it never revealed any trace of itself.

Just when Su Chen thought his trap was about to fail.

Suddenly, I saw a dark shadow rapidly approaching me against the current of the stream.

Su Chen's spiritual energy instantly transformed into a large net.

Even if the shadowy figure sensed something was wrong, it was already too late.

"A broken wooden box?"

Is this what's causing the problem?

The sparse essence was slowly seeping into the wooden box along with the water flow.

That is why Su Chen was never able to trace its origin back to its source through the essence.

"I am the Box God!"

"Mortal, do not be presumptuous!"

To Su Chen's surprise, a slightly deep voice suddenly rang out.

It seemed to come from time immemorial, possessing supreme majesty.

Su Chen drew his sword and casually stabbed it into the wooden box. Just before the sword energy exploded, he heard a humble voice begging for mercy.

Box God?

He was just a wandering ghost with some spiritual power.

"Please spare my life, Your Excellency!"

I had no intention of harming anyone.

"But they were already extremely weak. I only took a small amount of their vital energy, and some of them couldn't withstand it..."

"a little?"

Even strong and healthy people couldn't withstand it, let alone those who were already weak.

"Treat people differently based on their status..."

"It's not impossible for me to spare your life, but if you help me with something, I might consider keeping you alive."

Once Hua Jingyun arrives in the town, she can place a soul restriction on it.

When that time comes, we won't be afraid of this thing continuing to cause trouble.

As for its future use, Su Chen hasn't decided yet.

"My abilities are limited, so I hope you won't make any excessive remarks..."

"If you can't do it, then die."

Su Chen's tone was icy.

"Yes!"

Su Chen has wasted far more than a dozen batches of alchemy materials during this period.

But no matter how he tried to replicate the methods and formulas from back then, he could not reproduce any batch of pills.

After repeated failures, Su Chen began to doubt himself, wondering if there was something wrong with his memory.

“Master, this is a problem with the materials.”

These herbs are not yet old enough.

Furthermore, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is scarce, so the medicinal properties are far from sufficient.

The Box Demon glanced at it a few times and then pointed out the crux of the problem.

"What I need is a solution."

Su Chen naturally knew that the medicinal properties were insufficient, but with so many materials, he couldn't even refine a single batch of pills that were slightly less effective.

This is somewhat unreasonable.

"Two fewer extraction steps can be eliminated, and the impurity stage doesn't need to be so rigorous."

Overly meticulous filtration of impurities may also filter out the limited medicinal properties as well.

"Although it may increase the side effects, it at least has a certain medicinal effect and a success rate of pill formation."

Sacrificing some of the medicinal effects in exchange for the formation of the elixir.

This is a matter of trade-offs.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen quickly went through it in his mind.

Aside from the possibility of some non-fatal side effects, there seem to be no other drawbacks.

Su Chen started a new batch of pills, and after reducing some steps, he finally produced his first batch of complete pills.

"It's finally done!"

With this first batch of pills as a foundation, the rest will be much easier to make.

Su Chen took the pills, found a few livestock, fed them to them, and observed them for a while.

They left satisfied after finding no obvious toxicity.

What Su Chen didn't expect was that not long after he left, the livestock became noticeably more agitated.

"The rest is about figuring out how to gradually purify it..."

To what extent these impurities can be removed still requires further experimentation.

These are all minor issues, provided that the basic efficacy of the medicine is guaranteed.

"I wonder when Hua Jingyun will arrive. With her there, at least we'll have someone to discuss things with..."

Whether it's the soul restriction on that box of ghosts or the problem of alchemy, Hua Jingyun should have a solution.

"It seems like someone is thinking of me?"

A familiar voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Hua Jingyun arrived in Jiuhe Town at some unknown time.

Su Chen looked at Hua Jingyun with surprise, then tossed the porcelain vase in his hand to her.

"The Qi-Nourishing Pill is freshly made. It's just in time. Could you take a look and tell me how to improve it?"

"Master, I rushed over here without stopping, why are you working as soon as you arrive?"

Hua Jingyun pretended to be angry and said to Su Chen in a coquettish tone.

This separation lasted only a few days, but Hua Jingyun's personality was noticeably more lively than before.

"I'll make it up to you later. First, take a look at my pills."

Su Chen smiled. The current Hua Jingyun was becoming more and more like the disciple he remembered.

"Let's talk about it when we get back to your place."

Hua Jingyun carefully put the porcelain bottle away and followed Su Chen back to their residence.

"Is this the guy who's wreaking havoc in Jiuhe Town?"

The first thing Hua Jingyun saw upon entering the room was that broken wooden box.

The wooden crate exuded an unpleasant odor, making it hard to ignore.

"I still have some use for this thing. Let me put a soul restriction on it first."

With the Spirit Pagoda in hand, these things were not troublesome for Hua Jingyun.

Once the soul restriction was applied, the wooden box immediately became much more docile.

Just in case, Hua Jingyun simply put the Box Ghost into the Spirit Tower.
