Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 1: The Mirror of Wind and Moon

Tengshe Mountain, Feima Gathering.

Gao Xian, lying against the wall, felt a slight tremor in his legs and abruptly woke up from a nightmare.

The first thing that caught his eye was a peculiar brass alchemy furnace, about one meter tall, shaped like a kettle without a spout, with three frog-like legs and a brick pedestal underneath.

There was a fire channel beneath the pedestal, with a chimney connected to it. More accurately, it was a somewhat complex wood-burning stove.

Gao Xian sighed after a moment of daze. This peculiarly shaped alchemy furnace was his meal ticket.

It had been three days since he crossed over. He had adapted to his new body and new name, but he couldn't adapt to his new identity as an alchemist.

Gao Xian extended his left hand and silently recited, "Reveal."

A bronze mirror with an elegant design appeared out of thin air in his hand. The handle of the bronze mirror was engraved with four characters: "The Mirror of Wind and Moon."

This Mirror of Wind and Moon was considered a peripheral item of "Dream of the Red Chamber" and was a birthday gift from a friend. Somehow, it crossed over with him.

At this moment, the smooth mirror surface reflected a handsome and young face.

Gao Xian usually only read Water Margin fan fiction and watched low-budget movies, so he couldn't think of any suitable vocabulary to describe his current appearance.

Phrases like "sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes" or "a face like jade" were all too hollow.

All he could say was that he looked a bit like a young Louis Koo or Yang Yang, handsome and dignified. Especially his black eyes, shining as if they could sparkle...

It felt as if a professional lighting technician was shining a light on him from the opposite side!

The only flaw was his pale complexion and dark circles, which didn't look very healthy.

"If I had this face, I could stay single for over thirty years!"

Gao Xian touched his face somewhat narcissistically and thought about the days when he could only rely on his diligent hands. It was full of sighs.

This was the only aspect of crossing over that he was satisfied with—a youthful and energetic body, and a handsome face full of hope!

Lines of text appeared on the surface of the Mirror of Wind and Moon.

Gao Xian studied for two days and basically understood the purpose of the Mirror of Wind and Moon.

This mirror could reflect his personal state and quantify various abilities. The problem was that his alchemy was in a gray state and couldn't be used.

Gao Xian tried many methods but couldn't activate his alchemy or change the data in the mirror.

According to the memories left by the original owner, he was an alchemist in a medicine shop!

The medicine shop provided medicinal materials, and he provided pills.

He now owed the medicine shop 500 Revitalizing Pills, 500 Foundation-Stabilizing Pills, and 500 White Dew Pills.

He also had a very big problem: the original owner secretly exchanged a batch of pills he refined for Crimson Blood Pills.

Crimson Blood Pills were a very domineering type of Qi Refining pill. The original owner broke through to the Qi Refining Second Layer after taking Crimson Blood Pills, but somehow died and left his body to Gao Xian.

The large amount of medicinal materials consumed in alchemy became a huge deficit. How could he explain this to the owner of the medicine shop?

An even more serious problem was that the original owner's memories were incomplete, including the memories related to alchemy.

Even if he had enough medicinal materials, he couldn't refine pills at the moment.

Calculating the time, he should have delivered the first batch of pills five days ago.

He didn't know what consequences there would be if he couldn't deliver the pills, but he didn't expect it to turn out well!

While Gao Xian was pondering a solution, he heard a loud bang as the courtyard door was pushed open. He startled and quickly approached the window to look outside.

Through the cracks in the window paper, Gao Xian saw the short and fat Zhu shopkeeper, as well as Zhu Qiniang, the tall and well-endowed boss lady, standing behind him.

The two of them stood together, with a height difference of nearly two feet. One was fat, the other tall, a combination that left a deep impression. It also allowed Gao Xian to immediately recognize their identities.

Gao Xian sighed and straightened his wrinkled Daoist robe. After taking a deep breath, he pushed open the door and greeted them at the window.

"Brother Zhu, sister-in-law, please come inside..."

Gao Xian put on the professional smile of a middle-aged office worker who had been practicing for twenty years, politely and warmly welcoming them.

"Xiao Gao, how's it going?" Zhu shopkeeper asked with a smile.

Gao Xian looked embarrassed and said, "Brother Zhu, I'm in a hurry to break through to the second level of Qi Refining. The pill hasn't been refined yet, but as soon as it's done, I'll deliver it to you immediately."

Zhu shopkeeper smiled and said, "Xiao Gao, cultivation must be done step by step. You mustn't be impatient. Going astray can be fatal."

The boss lady beside him had a cold expression. She didn't say anything, but her mere presence exuded a sense of oppression.

Gao Xian felt a bit guilty. In fact, he was not short at all. He was at least 1.85 meters tall. But standing in front of the boss lady, he was half a head shorter.

In his memory, this boss lady was at the ninth level of Qi Refining and extremely skilled at breaking bones. Her martial prowess was off the charts.

However, this boss lady had deep-set eyebrows, well-defined features, wheat-colored skin that was firm and smooth, and a loose blue Daoist robe that couldn't hide her ample chest and long legs.

Her facial features were profound, resembling the movie version of Wonder Woman, but with even more delicate eyebrows and eyes.

Upon closer inspection, Gao Xian realized that the boss lady was quite beautiful. It was unexpected to find such a beauty in this land of yellow soil!

Out of male instinct and his own repressed nature for over thirty years, he couldn't help but take another look.

The boss lady furrowed her brows slightly, her beautiful emerald eyes subtly shifting, giving Gao Xian a meaningful look.

"What does this mean, sister-in-law?"

Gao Xian didn't understand the meaning behind that look, but it didn't affect his obedient and submissive attitude. He explained humbly, "Brother Zhu, I'm in a hurry to break through my cultivation so that I can refine pills better."

"The higher the cultivation level, the better control over the fire, and the higher the quality of the pills."

Gao Xian forced a smile and said, "Brother Zhu, sister-in-law, I didn't mean to delay. Give me a few more days, just a few more days."

Zhu shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "Even if we don't consider your master's face, it's no big deal to delay a few days."

His chubby face was filled with a friendly smile, as if this was nothing at all.

"Will ten more days be enough for you?"

Zhu shopkeeper's easygoing attitude made Gao Xian breathe a sigh of relief.

He nodded with a smile, "Alright, ten days will be enough. Once I refine the pills, I'll deliver them to you."

"Focus on refining the pills well and don't disappoint your master's expectations."

Zhu shopkeeper patted Gao Xian's shoulder and encouraged him like an elder caring for a younger one.

"If you have any problems in life, you can talk to me... Alright, I have something to attend to, so I'll leave first. You don't need to see me off."

Gao Xian hurriedly followed to see them off. Zhu shopkeeper left the door with a smiling face, showing considerable politeness towards Gao Xian.

As Zhu shopkeeper left, Zhu Qiniang, who was following behind, gave Gao Xian a deep look.

That look seemed to carry a complex meaning...

Gao Xian didn't understand. Could it be that she had taken a liking to him?

As the saying goes, "Good food is hard to resist," but he wasn't that kind of person!

Regardless of what he thought in his heart, Gao Xian remained respectful on the surface, bowing and sending off Zhu shopkeeper and his wife.
