Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 4: Sister Lan (Extra Chapter for the Alliance Leader, "Beyond the Misty Mountains")

Taking advantage of being in the right state, Gao Xian began to practice the Five Elements Technique through meditation.

The Five Elements Technique involves circulating the energies of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, corresponding to the lungs, liver, kidneys, heart, and spleen respectively. At the same time, one must visualize the corresponding talismans in their mind.

Each type of energy must be circulated once, completing a full cycle in the body, which takes about three minutes.

To make progress, one must practice at least thirty-six full cycles in one session.

Guiding the energies through the body along a fixed route with one's consciousness, while visualizing the corresponding talismans, is actually quite difficult.

Fortunately, the original owner of the body had been practicing since childhood and had a solid foundation. Gao Xian inherited this part of the memory, so his practice these past few days has been relatively smooth.

This time, with a thought, Sister Lan appeared deep within Gao Xian's brow.

Through the Great Pairing Technique, he and Sister Lan had an invisible yet exceptionally close connection. Whatever he thought, Sister Lan naturally followed his intentions.

Gao Xian asked Sister Lan to help him visualize the talismans while he circulated the Five Elements Technique for thirty-six cycles.

Without an accurate timing tool, according to Gao Xian's own estimation, this practice session took only about thirty minutes.

It was more than four times more efficient than when he practiced alone.

Moreover, Sister Lan's practice results were also better.

In one day, Gao Xian practiced three times, completing a total of one hundred and eight cycles of the Five Elements Technique.

Looking at the front of the Fengyue Mirror, he could see that his cultivation had indeed improved slightly through the Five Elements Technique.

Gao Xian was greatly surprised by this result.

Since arriving in this world, he had not neglected his cultivation.

After all, cultivation was fundamental, and he was also very interested in extraordinary powers.

But after practicing for a few days, he hadn't made any progress at all.

No wonder the original owner relied on taking pills to level up; his aptitude was indeed lacking.

Furthermore, with Sister Lan's help in visualizing the talismans, the speed of casting spells had greatly increased.

A flame flickered on Gao Xian's fingertip, like a lighter with an invisible switch.

On the other hand, a faint mist of water appeared and disappeared in his other hand, which was the Water Manipulation Technique.

At this stage, even low-level spells like Fire Manipulation and Water Manipulation could be instantly cast without the need for chanting or hand seals.

According to the memories left by the original owner, although these two spells were low-level, they formed the foundation for many other spells.

For example, the Cleaning Technique was a higher-level variation of the Water Manipulation Technique.

Gao Xian repeatedly used all the spells he knew, enjoying the wonderful sensation of controlling extraordinary powers.

After such excitement for more than a day, Gao Xian gradually calmed down.

As good as Sister Lan was, she couldn't help him refine pills. For now, he needed to find a way to refine pills.

It was said that the innkeeper was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, only one step away from Foundation Building. In this small Feima Market, she was known for her combat abilities.

Spells like Fire Manipulation and Water Manipulation were not on the same level, and instant casting was useless.

Even if the innkeeper stood there and let him attack, he wouldn't be able to harm her at all.

Moreover, Zhu, the shopkeeper, was a disciple of the Lianyun Sect, and his master was a guest elder of the sect.

The social relationship between the two sides was very close, and it couldn't be resolved through violence.

On the other hand, the innkeeper and her husband wouldn't do anything to him either. At most, they would hand him over to his master for handling.

Thinking of the master he had never met, Gao Xian couldn't help but shiver.

According to the memories left by the original owner, if he were sent back by the innkeeper, that master would definitely break his legs.

Should he secretly leave Feima Market?

Feima Market was a newly opened market by the Lianyun Sect, located deep in the Tengshe Mountain, thousands of miles away from the sect.

The Tengshe Mountain was filled with demonic beasts and terrifying evil spirits.

According to the memories of the original owner, he definitely didn't have the ability to escape from the Tengshe Mountain on his own.

"There are only eight days left, so I have to try various methods."

Gao Xian picked up the book "Alchemy Secrets" again. In the past two days, he had received some memories from the previous owner, so he could barely understand the book now.

After patiently reading for a while, Gao Xian couldn't help but throw the book away.

Even if he could barely understand the theory, he was still far from being able to practice it.

"This won't work, I need to think of another way."

Gao Xian picked up the book again, then went to the nearby cabinet and took out all the books and items inside.

Thirteen low-grade spirit stones, a pine-patterned refined steel longsword, several sets of clothes, a few books, a box of ten Bai Lu pills, and a few low-level talismans.

These were all the possessions left to him by the previous owner.

He had actually gone through these things several times before, but he took them out again mainly to organize his thoughts.

Gao Xian's mind was particularly clear now, and he had a strange intuition that the things in these items were what he needed.

Spirit stones were crystallized natural condensations of spiritual energy, the universal currency in the cultivation world, comparable to gold in the mortal world.

Thirteen low-grade spirit stones had limited purchasing power. They couldn't solve his problem.

The longsword was useless, and the Bai Lu pills, clothes, and talismans were also useless.

So, it came down to these few books.

"The Theory of the Five Elements' Mutual Generation and Restraint," "The Profound Method of the Cave Mystery," "The Thirty-Six Methods of Alchemy"...

Suddenly, Gao Xian's heart moved, and he picked up "The Profound Method of the Cave Mystery."

He had looked through this book before, and it contained prescriptions for dual cultivation methods, not something serious. He had thrown it away when he saw the content.

"It's not serious, that's perfect. The Book of Wind and Moon is not serious, so they match!"

In fact, "The Profound Method of the Cave Mystery" was very simple. It only recorded nine prescriptions, including details on how to refine them.

After reading the first prescription, "Deer Horn Powder," Gao Xian suddenly had a realization.

He took out the Book of Wind and Moon and saw that there was an additional prescription on the back.

Deer Horn Powder: A medicine for strengthening yang and kidneys. (Entry level 1/10).

Gao Xian was overjoyed. Learning a prescription was not a big deal, but the key was that this prescription could be upgraded!

Consuming ten points of human spiritual light, Deer Horn Powder quickly upgraded to the proficient level.

Inside the Book of Wind and Moon, Lan Jie began to demonstrate how to select medicinal materials, wash, soak, boil, and dry them, how to grind the medicinal materials into powder, and how to use fire to bake and refine them...

In a short period of time, Gao Xian learned how to refine Deer Horn Powder and mastered all the details of the refining process.

"It really works!" Gao Xian became even more excited. Deer Horn Powder was not important, but the technique of refining Deer Horn Powder was what he wanted.

Deer Horn Powder: A medicine for strengthening yang and kidneys. (Proficient level 1/10).

To upgrade once, it required ten points. Gao Xian looked at the remaining one hundred points of human spiritual light and without hesitation, continuously used them on Deer Horn Powder.

Deer Horn Powder was upgraded to the master level, only using fifty points of human spiritual light. But from master to grandmaster, it would require fifty points.

Gao Xian looked at the Great Occult Divine Technique, which required five thousand points of human spiritual light to upgrade.

Compared to that, this was too cheap.

For the sake of his own life, Gao Xian made up his mind and forcefully upgraded Deer Horn Powder to the grandmaster level.

Clearly, there was a qualitative change from master to grandmaster, which required more human spiritual light.

He had finally found a way, so he had to give it his all. After all, the remaining few dozen points of human spiritual light couldn't do anything.

Lan Jie in the Book of Wind and Moon began to refine Deer Horn Powder again.

It was the same process as before, but Lan Jie's every move was exceptionally elegant, exuding an indescribable charm.

Gao Xian's spirit shook, and countless insights into refining Deer Horn Powder flooded his mind.

At the same time, the more than ten years of alchemy memories from the previous owner were also stimulated.

Selecting medicinal materials, opening the furnace for alchemy, controlling the heat... scenes merged into Gao Xian's memory...
