While I was chanting a curse, the system said I was Xiao Yan?

Side quest completed, reward issued.

Another prescription appeared in his mind, but the prescription for the Qi-restoring pill was much more complicated than that for the treatment medicine, and it required a magic core as an ingredient.

However, this effect is quite good; it can restore lost battle energy during battle. Tianyan understands it as a mana-restoring pill.

Next time I can refine it, but first I need to test how effective this healing potion is.

Tianyan placed the bowl on the stove and glanced down at his right arm.

The bruise from the collision with Honglong on my elbow is still there, a large bluish-purple patch extending from the elbow joint to the middle of my forearm. There are also some small scratches on the skin, from fragments of bone armor breaking, which have formed thin scabs but are not yet fully healed.

He stretched out his finger, picked up a little from the dark red paste, and smeared it on the bruise on his elbow.

The moment the paste touches the skin, a cool sensation spreads from the area where it was applied.

It's not the stimulating coolness of mint, but a kind of coolness that seeps deep into the skin, flowing gently like a stream.

Tianyan looked down at his elbow.

The bruises are fading.

And it's receding at a rate visible to the naked eye!

The purplish-blue bruises seemed to be dissolved by something, gradually fading from the edges, from dark purple to light purple, from light purple to pale yellow, and from pale yellow to normal skin color.

The whole process took less than ten seconds.

The tiny scratches were healing, the scabs were falling off, revealing pink new skin underneath, and then the new skin quickly became the same color as the surrounding skin.

Tianyan blinked.

He picked up some more paste and applied it to another bruise.

The effect is the same.

In ten seconds, the bruise disappeared and the wound healed.

"This thing..."

Tianyan looked at the remaining dark red paste in the bowl, and a slow smile crept onto his lips: "The effect is too potent!"

Just as he was about to put away the medicine bowl, he suddenly felt a burning sensation.

His heart started racing for no reason, and the cover of the magazine he had just looked at in the pharmacy inexplicably popped into his mind.

Tsk, Shiraishi Sayuri... no, it's Hojo...

Did Yamada put that magazine in his suitcase just now?

Should I go and borrow it from him later?

After all, I paid for it, so it would be a shame not to watch it. As a meticulous captain, I should give it a scathing critique...

"wrong!"

Tianyan shook his head violently, his eyes instantly clearing.

"How dare a mere mature woman try to sway my long-forged iron will?!"

He felt the surging heat coursing through his body, his lips twitched violently, and he finally realized what was happening.

Looking at the dark red paste in the bowl, and then at the remaining medicinal herb packaging paper on the cutting board.

Epimedium, Cistanche deserticola, Cynomorium songaricum, Cuscuta chinensis, Lycium barbarum...

All five main ingredients are aphrodisiacs.

The effect of a single ingredient may not be obvious, but the combination of five ingredients...

"This prescription... is definitely awful!"

"No, with this method of refining, it would be problematic if it could actually produce a genuine healing medicine; having aphrodisiac effects would be perfectly normal!"

"I have a feeling that if we modify the formula, this stuff could play a huge role in another area..."

Tianyan took a deep breath and set a small goal: kick sildenafil and punch tadalafil!

......

Inside a bedroom on the second floor.

This bedroom belongs to him, and although he doesn't come here often, he still keeps it tidy.

Tianyan closed the door and took out the newly filled 'Tier 1 Magical Beast Crystal Core' from his pocket.

Aside from the cursed spirits in the family's beast cage last time, he couldn't find any more cursed spirits at the Zen Temple to replenish the energy in the crystal core.

After all, one can't expect the Zenin family, one of the three great families in the world of sorcery, to be surrounded by sorcerous spirits.

"Submit," Tianyan silently recited in his mind.

The crystal core in his palm vanished instantly, and at the same time, a familiar sensation appeared in Tianyan's pocket.

He took it out and glanced at it. It was pure white, with a transparent bottle, and inside lay a drop of liquid with a greenish luster.

Foundation Building Elixir.

Tianyan's lips curved slightly.

This is the third time he has received this item. The first time was as a reward for taking the whipping for Yamada, and the second time was in exchange for submitting the first crystal core.

Each time he uses it, his spell power surges upwards.

Tianyan held the Foundation Establishment Elixir in his palm, got up, and walked towards the bathroom.

The bathroom wasn't big, and the bathtub was a standard one-piece household bathtub, just big enough for an adult to lie in.

Add hot water, then pour in the Foundation Building Elixir.

The moment the emerald green liquid entered the water, the entire tank of water changed color.

The originally clear hot water turned into a light blue color, and there were faint emerald green patterns flowing beneath the surface, as if something was slowly swimming at the bottom.

Tianyan took a deep breath and sat down in the bathtub.

"hiss!"

This sound wasn't from pain, but from comfort.

That's exactly how it feels! So, so, so right!

The vortex of cursed energy within his body was spinning at high speed, and the total amount of cursed energy in his body was growing stronger.

Consciousness sank into the body.

After this period of accumulation and cultivation, the size of the cyclone has grown several times larger than it was initially, although it gradually increases in size by absorbing external magical power with each rotation.

However, the change is too small; there may not be any significant change even after a year.

Meanwhile, the medicinal power of the Foundation Building Elixir is gathering on the outer edge of the cyclone.

It was a thin layer of bluish-green mist, like a veil, wrapped around the cyclone and slowly and continuously absorbed by it.

With each wisp of mist absorbed, the vortex would expand slightly, much faster than usual!

Tianyan could feel the medicinal effects strengthening his body.

His muscles are becoming firmer, not in an exaggerated way, but in a way that increases in density, like a piece of iron that has been repeatedly forged, becoming more and more solid.

His fascia is becoming stronger, and the fibrous tissue connecting bones and muscles is being strengthened by the medicine, increasing its resilience to a new level.

Especially the areas that were damaged in the previous battle, I can feel that they have been strengthened, particularly the elbows.

The bones have become harder and the skin has become more resilient, so the next time the Eight Extremes Collapse is used, it will likely cause even greater damage.

Moreover, he felt that his understanding of the Eight Extremes Collapse had deepened, and he felt that he could unleash three hidden forces in the next battle!

Tianyan let out a long breath, then shrank further into the water, leaving only his head above water.

As the magical energy vortex within his body absorbed the medicinal power, he realized that although the medicine was still of great help to him, the amount of spiritual liquid required to break through to the level of a first-level sorcerer would be far more than just one or two drops.

This explains why Level 1 sorcerers are considered high-end combatants in the sorcery world; they are indeed much stronger than Level 2 sorcerers.
