Chapter 17: Consciousness gathers and ignites the fire of spirit
"This flame is a little weird. Why does it look so much like a will-o'-the-wisp?"
Yang Huaian was shocked. Although it was a flame, it felt cold. Could this Netherworld Fire be powerful?
Thinking in his mind, Yang Huaian's thoughts moved, and a ray of fire was separated, which stained the wooden chair next to him.
Almost in an instant, the entire wooden chair was engulfed by flames, and the dark blue flames burned fiercely.
The huge wooden chair didn't even last a minute before it turned into charcoal and scattered all over the ground.
"Oh my god, is the fire so strong?"
Seeing this scene, Yang Huaian was shocked. He didn't expect that the flame used to refine the elixir would have such lethality. It was simply terrifying.
However, Yang Huaian didn't feel happy for long before he felt dizzy and listless.
Now he understood what it meant to feed on the spirit. It turned out that this Netherworld Fire was burning his own spiritual power.
Usually, he has been practicing physical strength, and Yang Huaian has not paid too much attention to his mental strength.
...
With no other options, he could only sit cross-legged on the bed and gradually enter a state of cultivation.
At this moment, Yang Huaian felt that his body became transparent. As his spiritual power was sealed, Yang Huaian could not see the spiritual sea like other cultivators.
But he could sense a trace of mental power at the center of his eyebrows, and slowly gathered the mental power until it formed a seed.
This seed is very tiny and also emits a faint blue light.
"Could this be the Netherworld Fire Seed given by the system? But why is it so small?"
Today's fire is only the size of a fingernail, which can almost be described as pitifully small.
As if he had thought of something, Yang Huaian moved his mind and the fire began to burn fiercely.
However, just like before, the fire seemed to be going out within a minute.
Exhausted, Yang Huaian could only stop again, slowly recover his mental strength, and then use the fire to burn again.
This went on for two hours, and Yang Huaian could clearly feel that the fire was a little bigger than before.
"It seems that the size of this fire reflects the strength of one's spiritual power, just like the spiritual sea of a cultivator."
Yang Huaian felt something in his heart. When he was in Qin Shuting's body, he had felt the spiritual sea and naturally knew its characteristics.
However, this kind of mental training is indeed not something that ordinary people can endure. After burning for two hours in one breath, Yang Huaian now just feels exhausted and drowsy.
I fell asleep without realizing it, and when I woke up, three hours had passed.
Looking at the sun outside, it should be around four in the afternoon, and there is still some time before dark.
Yang Huaian jumped down from the bed. Full of energy, he felt that the whole world was much clearer and he could even see the slightest changes not far away clearly.
Moreover, when a fly suddenly flew through the air, Yang Huaian could clearly see that the speed of the fly slowed down a lot, which would never happen under normal circumstances.
"Holy crap, cultivating mental strength can actually have such benefits?"
Yang Huaian was overjoyed.
Compared with physical training, the training of mental power seems to bring greater improvement.
But then again, I have been cultivating my physical body since I was in the womb, and it should have reached a very high level. It is normal for it to slow down a bit.
After figuring this out, Yang Huaian stopped dwelling on the matter.
Now that we have the fire, it's almost time to prepare for making the elixir.
The two prescriptions Qin Meng gave him were for the lowest-grade and most inferior entry-level elixirs, not even first-grade.
They are named Huoxue Dan and Tongqi Wan respectively.
One is used to treat bruises and the other is used to treat abdominal pain. They are the most popular pills among ordinary people.
But even so, these two pills don't seem to be cheap, costing five hundred coins each.
Yang Huaian took a look at the ingredient list. These raw materials were very cheap. You didn't even need to buy them. You could pick them in the mountains.
"I wonder if the system can upgrade these two pills for you."
Thinking of this possibility, Yang Huaian immediately handed the prescription to the system.
Perhaps because the prescription was too simple, it took less than a quarter of an hour to complete and upgrade the system, and two brand new prescriptions appeared in Yang Huaian's mind.
The original Blood Activating Pill has now turned into a Blood Gathering Pill, which is a top-grade elixir.
This level of elixir must be sold for at least two hundred taels, which is dozens of times more than before.
In this world, one thousand coins can be exchanged for one tael of silver, and two hundred taels can be exchanged for two hundred thousand coins, a full forty times!
The ventilation pills were also upgraded to top-grade Qi-gathering pills.
These two pills, one can assist in cultivation, and the other can be used to heal wounds. Both are very popular pills among cultivators, otherwise they would not be sold at such a high price.
Yang Huaian looked at the prescription carefully. The cost price of these herbs was estimated to be less than one or two taels. After being transformed into pills, the price increased by two or three hundred times!
"No wonder, they say that the path to becoming an immortal is all about spending money."
Yang Huaian now believes it.
But there is also good news. Qin Meng left himself 500 taels of silver to buy raw materials. If he could really refine these two kinds of pills, the money would increase 200 times to 100,000 taels!
Thinking of this, Yang Huaian suddenly became eager to try and immediately prepared to plan to purchase medicinal materials.
However, Yang Huaian is not stupid. He certainly cannot go out by himself with so much money. Besides, he is still a child less than two years old.
If such a young child goes out to buy medicinal herbs, not only others, even the store owner probably won't believe it.
So, Yang Huaian turned around and looked for the guards at home.
Hu Mu is the captain of the guard specially sent by Qin Meng to protect Yang Huaian and Qin Shuting.
Hu Mu has served the Qin family for generations and has always been loyal. Moreover, his strength is at the fifth level of the first realm of cultivation, which is considered to be quite strong.
It is enough to deal with some ordinary people or those who are just starting to practice Taoism.
Moreover, if Hu Mu is brought along, he can help carry things. Yang Huaian is just a child now, how many medicinal herbs can he carry?
Failure was inevitable since it was his first time refining the elixir, so Yang Huaian planned to buy more medicinal materials and store them while practicing slowly.
Hearing Yang Huaian's call, Hu Mu quickly arrived at the yard. He was a young man in his twenties with a standard neck and face, looking honest and simple.
"Master Huai'an, you called me?"
Even when facing Yang Huaian, a child less than two years old, Hu Mu was still respectful.
This genius young master is now well-known in the Qin family. He is the apple of everyone's eye, including the servants and maids. We all like him very much.
"Brother Mu, I want to purchase some medicinal herbs, but I can't do it myself, so I would like to ask you to go out with me, bringing a few guards."
