Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

As soon as Bai Li entered the room, he saw Yan Chengren standing in front of the brewing platform with a strange Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest wore an old Taoist robe, the front and cuffs of which were burned full of holes, but his eyes were shrewd and bright.

Bai Li floated over and took a quick look.

"Were these elixirs tested one by one?" Feng Yuanzhen asked, craning his neck.

Yan Chengren nodded.

Feng Yuanzhen understood. He stroked his half-burnt beard and said slowly, "The Taishang Ganying Pian says that misfortune and fortune have no fixed gate, but are summoned by oneself. The same principle applies to alchemy. You have to try everything to know."

Yan Chengren bent down and took out the viscous block from the box at his feet, holding it in his palm with a solemn expression.

He originally wanted to have a casual chat with his senior brother, but Feng Yuanzhen's soul was not on him at all. His eyes were fixed on the brewing platform and he didn't move from the beginning to the end.

Yan Chengren simply turned around and continued working on his medicine.

Feng Yuanzhen leaned closer and looked down at the viscous mass: "What is this?"

Yan Chengren: "A panda's snot."

Feng Yuanzhen muttered to himself, "Amitabha, how long will it take to collect all this?"

Yan Chengren explained, "This thing may not look presentable, but it's extremely rare. It's a panda unique to the Immortal Realm, and it can only be obtained from a special breed of panda. You might not be able to squeeze out even a small piece like this in a day. This big piece in front of you took a full half month to collect."

Feng Yuanzhen not only didn't mind, but moved even closer and asked in a low voice, "Can I touch it?"

Yan Chengren glanced at him: "This thing belongs to the Immortal Realm. If anyone without an Immortal rank touches it, it will immediately shrink back to its original size."

"Then I won't touch it!" Feng Yuanzhen said, but his eyes were full of curiosity as he stared at the palm-sized lump of slime.

Seeing his anxious expression, Yan Chengren laughed: "If you really want to touch it, then go ahead and touch it, senior brother."

"Don't I know your personality? If I don't let you touch me today, I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything else in the future, you'll be thinking about this every day."

"Besides, it's just restoring it to its original state; there's nothing to worry about."

As he spoke, he placed the viscous mass on the ground, spread his hands, and made a "please" gesture.

Feng Yuanzhen squatted down and extended his fingertips, carefully touching it.

The palm-sized lump of mucus suddenly expanded, becoming a cubic meter-sized mass spread out on the ground.

Feng Yuanzhen was prepared and withdrew his hand. Seeing this miraculous scene, his smile widened even more.

Yan Chengren acted as if nothing had happened, bent down, picked up the cubic meter of viscous liquid, and put it into the brewing platform.

Feng Yuanzhen looked at his relaxed demeanor and said thoughtfully, "Junior brother."

"Um?"

"Are all these strengths and supernatural abilities you possess now acquired from that celestial position?"

Yan Chengren replied, "That's right."

Not long after the viscous substance was placed inside, a plume of black smoke rose from the brewing platform. Yan Chengren exclaimed excitedly, "It's done! This can be used to refine medicine!"

Bai Li, watching from the side, was somewhat bewildered: "This thing can be used to make medicine?"

He had no recollection of this thing.

It seems that giving Yan Chengren the items on a whim and letting him try them one by one was actually the right thing to do.

Yan Chengren took out the medicine: "I just don't know what this medicine is for."

Feng Yuanzhen rushed forward, demanding, "Even you don't know?"

Yan Chengren shook his head: "We'll only know after we try."

Feng Yuanzhen perked up: "Then I'll give it a try!"

Yan Chengren shook his head: "I don't know how effective this is, I can do it myself."

He shouted towards the door, "Zhengcheng! Go get two roast chickens!"

There was no movement outside the door.

Yan Chengren shouted again, "Hurry up, I know you're eavesdropping outside."

There was a rustling sound under the window, and after a few moments, a muffled voice was heard: "Oh~"

The footsteps faded into the distance, and before long, Bi Zhengcheng came rushing back with two plates of roast chicken.

Yan Chengren invited Feng Yuanzhen to sit down and start eating.

He tore the bottle of medicine, one bite after another, until his hands were covered in oil, until his stomach was bloated, before finally picking up the bottle.

Feng Yuanzhen sat opposite him, no longer playing PUBG, staring intently at him.

Yan Chengren drank the medicine and closed his eyes.

After a moment of silence, he opened his eyes and smacked his lips.

That's strange.

Feng Yuanzhen quickly asked, "How is it?"

"I don't feel light and agile, nor do I feel burning pain in my abdomen. I don't feel any discomfort at all." Yan Chengren closed his eyes and pursed his lips again.

He took a pen and paper and wrote down the results of the materials.

"Make a note of it."

After he finished writing, he got up and walked to the large cabinet in the corner. He opened the cabinet door, and Bi Zhengcheng's eyes darted around before he ran outside and pushed a cart with boxes in it.

Feng Yuanzhen followed and peeked over, then froze on the spot.

The cabinet was filled with rows and rows of medicines, stacked tightly together.

Red, blue, purple, green, all sorts of colors are available.

"These are all elixirs?" Feng Yuanzhen's throat went dry.

"That's right, it was all discovered through trial and error." Yan Chengren said in a flat tone, bent down to close the cabinet door, pulled over the trolley, and put the bottles one by one into the wooden box on top.

"Let's go."

Feng Yuanzhen didn't move: "Where to?"

"Licheng".

As Yan Chengren stacked the bottles, he explained, "Panda snot is precious, and I only have this much. But luckily, I can make three bottles at a time, so I still have two left."

"These are also things we've tried but still can't figure out how effective they are. Let's take them with us and have Young Master Bai take a look."

Feng Yuanzhen took a step back and shook his head: "Junior brother, you go ahead. I'm new here and would like to stay and rest a bit, and wander around a bit."

Yan Chengren stopped what he was doing: "Senior brother, with your level of cultivation and understanding of the Dao alone, you're probably qualified to enter the Shepherd's Academy. There's no harm in going to meet them in advance."

Feng Yuanzhen: "The Pastor's Academy?"

"Um."

Bi Zhengcheng's hands never left the cart. When he saw that the master was full, he didn't say a word, quietly pushed the cart out, and waited outside the door.

Yan Chengren chuckled and said, "It is certainly important for those who cultivate the Tao to study the scriptures behind closed doors, but if they only know the principles in the scriptures and do not understand the affairs of the world, they will ultimately be just talking about metaphysics on paper."

"Push it, it'll save me some effort."

"Thank you, Master!" Bi Zhengcheng pushed the cart and followed.

Bai Li watched from beginning to end, a mischievous smile spreading across his face.

He returned to Licheng, floated to the militiamen at the gate, and instructed them: "If a Taoist priest comes to Licheng in a while, tell them I am waiting for him outside."

Then he called the guards of the warehouse, found the slime blocks and the flame rods, and sent them over in a set.

Immediately after his physical body left hell, Bai Li returned to the cabin to wait for a while, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

People never tire of doing bad things.

Incidentally, while waiting, Bai Li didn't forget to possess the villager who had changed jobs, and have him enchant his diamond tools with experience repair.

This is a huge project.

The experience Bai Li had gained from the academy every day for repairs had been useless, since using it on ironware would be a huge waste.

Of course, the main problem is the inconvenience.

Now that there are beacons, villagers can use diamond tools and have others enchant them, so naturally they need a major upgrade.
