I had already ascended to heaven when the spiritual energy began to recover?

Bai Sheng pulled the blanket up to his chest.

Getting ready for bed.

The phone rang again.

It was the same voice call invitation from the old pharmacist.

He pressed answer.

Before I could even speak,

The other side couldn't wait to speak.

"Young friend, I have received the prescription and have reviewed it carefully."

The ratio of Codonopsis pilosula and Astragalus membranaceus in Peiyuan Powder is something I have never seen in my forty years of medical practice!

These two herbs have similar properties; in principle, their effects should be clearly differentiated. Using them in equal amounts together is essentially double-drug administration.

Bai Sheng naturally didn't understand what was going on either.

But I still tried to keep my tone calm:

"Who told you that medicines with similar properties can't be used together? Think about it again."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for several seconds.

The old pharmacist fell silent.

Bai Sheng was also starting to panic, and quickly asked Teacher Dseek for advice.

"Well... I can tell you about that too."

Bai Sheng was making a video call while looking at the answers given by the teacher and reading them aloud:

"I'll give you the most direct, straightforward, and blunt... cough cough!"

"Yes, Codonopsis pilosula replenishes the middle qi, while Astragalus membranaceus boosts the defensive qi."

One operates internally, the other operates externally; they are complementary, used in equal quantities. Master craftsman, think about it, isn't that the truth?

Another silence followed.

After a moment,

The old pharmacist's voice rang out again:

"That makes sense, that definitely makes sense!"

"I'm convinced. It seems your recipe really has been passed down through generations. I'll transfer the remaining 150,000 right now."

Bai Sheng hung up the phone.

In less than two minutes,

A text message popped up saying the money had been deposited into my bank account.

"Holy crap, it really arrived..."

Bai Sheng stared at the six-figure number, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Suddenly receiving so much money in one day

I'm really at a loss.

It really does prove that saying true.

The world is a makeshift operation!

the next day,

Bai Sheng woke up even earlier than his alarm clock.

I drew back the curtains and saw...

Outside the window, the sky was just beginning to lighten.

Yesterday, that strange fog had completely dissipated.

The road surface was dry, as if nothing had happened.

After washing up, I opened the door and went downstairs.

I rode a shared bike straight to the mountain in the suburbs.

I knew the way well today and arrived quickly.

When we reached the rocky platform halfway up the mountain,

The sun was just rising above the horizon.

Bai Sheng sat cross-legged and activated his true energy.

Sword energy swiftly condensed on the sword finger.

Then they began to draw in the purple aura.

Yesterday, the contact surfaces of the purple membrane and the sword aura would still corrode each other.

Today he simply decided not to rush to apply the purple film.

First, we need to further refine the classification of the purple aura.

It was split from three strands into six, each strand so thin it was almost about to break.

Then attach each strand to the surface of the sword aura one by one.

When I got to the fourth strand, I found it was still holding steady.

The fifth strand began to tremble slightly.

When the sixth strand was applied, sparks started appearing again at the edges of the purple film.

"Fine, let's leave it at that. Don't bite off more than you can chew."

Bai Sheng simply removed the sixth strand, keeping it at five strands.

Five wisps of purple energy spread evenly across the surface of the sword aura.

The gaps between them were just filled with the golden light of the true essence itself.

A complete purple-gold film is formed.

This time, it wasn't just an adhesion; the purple energy inside the purple membrane began to slowly seep into the outer layer of the sword aura.

The golden light of the sword aura and the purple light of the purple membrane intertwined on the contact surface, creating an extremely fine gradient layer.

The gradient layer was very thin, but it actually held up.

There was no collapse, nor did they continue to erode each other.

at the same time,

The sword energy on his fingers underwent a qualitative change!

Previously, the pure golden sword energy was a blurry golden light, and one could only feel its heat and sharpness.

Now, enveloped in the purple membrane, the outline of the sword energy is several times clearer than before.

It transformed into a pale purple-gold sword shape about three feet long.

The sword is straight.

Purple light swirled around the hilt of the sword, while golden light flowed around the hilt.

"go!"

Bai Sheng tried to make a feinting slash forward with his sword energy.

With a wave of his hand,

Whoosh!

The pebbles on the ground were swept away by the sword energy.

It split in two instantly.

Smooth cross-section

As if it had been cut by a laser.

Bai Sheng picked up the cut stone and examined it closely.

When the purple film adhered yesterday, it left burn marks when cutting rocks.

Today the cut surface is smooth and not burnt.

This indicates that the effect of the purple aura was not simply to increase the temperature.

It's more like making the sword energy itself more solid!

Bai Sheng withdrew his sword energy.

He gathered his true essence again in his dantian.

I discovered that the true energy in my dantian was not consumed much.

It seems that finding the right point to exert force can save a lot of effort.

Having successfully entered the gate, Bai Sheng no longer hesitated and headed straight down the mountain.

Back home,

After showering, I came out of the bathroom and sat on the sofa.

He then turned to the page of the Primordial Daoist Book about the One Qi Righteous Yang Sword.

This time, he carefully studied the annotations on the pages.

The annotation states that,

After mastering the basics, if you want to further increase the power of your sword energy...

Simply relying on cultivating by drawing in purple energy every day is far from enough.

The key is to refine a sword pellet.

The sword pellet is the natal magical weapon of the One Qi Righteous Yang Sword.

It is also the true core that bears and amplifies the sword energy.

and,

The higher the quality of the sword pellet, the greater the increase in the power of the sword aura.

Without sword pellets, one will forever remain at the beginner level.

No matter how much you practice afterward, your improvement will be limited!

"That's difficult. I'll have to learn how to make a sword pellet too!"

Bai Sheng was somewhat helpless.

If one were truly in the realm of spiritual cultivation, this kind of thing would be easily resolved.

I'm afraid it would be better to just go out and buy a ready-made one.

But now, we have to figure everything out on our own.

They couldn't even buy the materials; they had to put in a lot of effort to collect them.

The difficulty is self-evident.

"Let me take another look."

He flipped down to look at the materials used to refine the sword pellet.

First, you need to prepare some gold essence.

The so-called essence of the five metals,

Its essence is extracted from five metals: gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin.

They were combined and refined into a golden embryo.

This golden embryo needs to be repeatedly nurtured and refined with external medicine.

Applying external medication is much more complicated.

Cinnabar, realgar, magnetite powder, mother-of-pearl, rootless water...

Bai Sheng looked at the list of materials and his lips twitched.

First of all,

To extract the essence from gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin,

This is not something you can do with a household induction cooker.

You need metallurgical equipment to make it work!

The external medicines cinnabar and realgar can indeed be purchased at Chinese medicine shops.

Magnetite powder and mother-of-pearl are not too hard to find.

So-called "rootless water" is actually just rainwater; it's waiting for a rainy day.

The most outrageous thing is the calcination conditions.

The book requires that,

At noon, it is repeatedly calcined using both gentle and vigorous fire.

It means that the stove should be lit outdoors when the midday sun is at its strongest.

Bai Sheng felt a chill run down his spine.

We can only take it slowly.

First, copy the materials list into your phone's notes app.

Every possible source for each item has been marked.

The essence of gold is the most difficult to obtain; we'll have to figure out a way slowly!

"This is way too difficult..."

Bai Shengqian was even considering giving up on this method.

After all, you've already gotten the basics down; going any further will require external assistance.

If this is the case,

Doesn't that mean that cultivation becomes more and more like scientific research as you progress?

He got involved in materials science, metallurgy, and pharmaceutics.

Kind of outrageous.
