Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 8: The Bewildering Incense

Gao Xian studied for a long time but couldn't figure out where this sudden increase in human spiritual light came from.

From Zhu Qiniang?

It's not impossible. Perhaps Sister Qiniang is reminiscing.

Gao Xian put away the Book of Wind and Moon and picked up the book "Dong Xuan Zhen Fang" again.

There are nine medicinal formulas in here. If he could master one more formula, it would greatly benefit his alchemy skills.

Alchemy skills couldn't be improved, but the understanding of these Huang Chi techniques could be. That's the fundamental difference between the two.

Although the medicinal formulas recorded in "Dong Xuan Zhen Fang" are not mainstream, they are still a form of alchemy.

The techniques for refining medicine are common among them.

"The Bewildering Incense, capable of causing people to become intoxicated..."

When Gao Xian saw the Bewildering Incense, his eyes suddenly lit up. This is a good thing.

He was an honest person and had no intention of doing anything bad. He just thought that this thing would be great for self-defense.

In the past, Lord Wei relied on three treasures: aphrodisiacs, daggers, and inner armor.

Especially the aphrodisiacs, they defeated many powerful figures in the martial world and won him several wives.

Looking at the formula for the Bewildering Incense, Gao Xian had a sudden realization.

When the Deer Horn Powder reached the level of a grandmaster, it would greatly enhance his alchemy skills. Looking at the specific formula and refining methods, he could already simulate and deduce them in his mind.

Gao Xian took out the Book of Wind and Moon and indeed, there was an additional entry on the back.

Bewildering Incense: Strong fragrance, capable of causing people to fall into a deep sleep. (Entry level 1/10)

With fifty points of human spiritual light, the Bewildering Incense directly reached the level of a grandmaster.

The annotations for the grandmaster-level Bewildering Incense changed.

Bewildering Incense: As fine as dust, with a faint fragrance. It confuses the soul and weakens the body. (Grandmaster level 1/50)

There were only a little over twenty points of human spiritual light left, which was not enough to upgrade the Bewildering Incense.

However, the grandmaster-level Bewildering Incense should already be very powerful.

The main ingredient for refining the Bewildering Incense is the Purple Tuo Luo Flower, a relatively rare low-level medicinal herb.

Gao Xian remembered clearly that he didn't have any Purple Tuo Luo Flowers in his medicine room.

This flower has strong vitality and low requirements for its growth environment. It should definitely be found in the mountains. But going into the mountains for a few flowers would be a waste of time.

The neighbor, Old Wang, often goes into the mountains to hunt. Gao Xian could ask him to help collect a few flowers.

Thinking of Old Wang, Gao Xian naturally thought of the bottle of Deer Horn Powder he sold to him.

The grandmaster-level Deer Horn Powder is an elixir that middle-aged men can't resist!

This old man will definitely come back to find him in a few days. Gao Xian was certain of this.

As long as he sells all the Deer Horn Powder he has on hand, he can use the money to buy medicinal materials and make up for the shortage of Bai Lu Dan that the original owner sold.

The problem is that Feima Ji is the only medicine shop in town, so if he wants to buy medicinal materials, he can only buy them from Zhu, the shopkeeper...

Buying a large amount of alchemical materials will definitely attract Zhu's attention.

Gao Xian has figured it out these past two days. This matter isn't as serious as he thought.

What Zhu wants is money. Killing him would bring him no benefit, but instead, he would lose a large sum of money.

He would also offend his master and have to compensate with a large amount of spirit stones.

If worse comes to worst, he can just explain it to Zhu.

Of course, this is the last resort.

With Zhu's personality, if he admits his mistake, Zhu will definitely take the opportunity to extort him.

Gao Xian sighed. It's so difficult to survive in this world. He wanted to go home!

He took out the Book of Wind and Moon and looked at the charming and beautiful Lan Jie with a smile. Gao Xian's mood suddenly improved.

He didn't know when, but he had already entered Lan Jie's boudoir, and everything felt so real.

Although Lan Jie didn't speak, she would hum and sing softly, her voice enchanting and bone-chilling.

Gao Xian held Lan Jie in his arms and suddenly remembered a sentence that Zen Master said: "It's so fun here, I don't even want to go home!"

The next day, while Gao Xian was steaming and boiling medicinal herbs, Old Wang sneaked in like a thief over the wall.

Gao Xian was disgusted by this kind of behavior - instead of taking the door, they insisted on jumping over the wall, sneaking around like a suspicious person.

Old Wang listened by the bedroom window, but didn't hear any movement. His eyes flashed with a fierce light, and after hesitating for a moment, he whispered, "Xiao Gao..."

Gao Xian could clearly see from the side room that this old guy had malicious intentions. The way he acted just now was like a fierce wolf, but he didn't dare to act recklessly after weighing the situation.

He originally looked down on Old Wang, just an old lecher.

But now, he felt a little uneasy. Old Wang had reached the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining, much stronger than him.

He often went into the mountains to hunt demon beasts, with rich combat experience. He was not someone that Gao Xian, a weakling, could compare to.

Although the other party was indeed lecherous, he was an old wolf. If he really wanted to make a move, Gao Xian wouldn't have any ability to resist.

The Lost Soul Powder couldn't be cultivated in a short time, so he could only rely on a few talismans in his hand for self-defense.

Gao Xian tightly held the Golden Body Talisman in his hand and shouted impatiently, "I'm here!"

Old Wang quickly turned around. Despite his old age, his body was not old at all. His turning motion was light and agile, and he also tightly gripped the hilt of his sword.

Gao Xian became even more cautious in his heart, but he pretended to be relaxed on his face. "Have you finished the medicine? You used it up so quickly..."

Speaking of medicine, Old Wang's tense face relaxed.

He had used many aphrodisiacs, but none were as effective as Gao Xian's Deer Horn Powder. Everyone who had used it was amazed by its miraculous effects and was willing to buy it at a high price.

Obviously, Gao Xian's Deer Horn Powder was of significantly higher quality than other similar products, and they were not even the same kind of medicine.

At the moment, he couldn't offend Gao Xian.

Old Wang smirked, "Xiao Gao, do you still have the medicine? Give me twenty pills."

"Do you have money?"

Without waiting for Old Wang to speak, Gao Xian said, "No bargaining."

Old Wang originally wanted to negotiate the price, but seeing Gao Xian's resolute attitude, he could only lower his eyebrows and said, "You're still young, but you only care about money. This is not good. People should also value friendship."

"Hehe..."

Gao Xian laughed. After all, the other party was a customer, so he had to maintain basic relations.

Twenty pills of Deer Horn Powder in exchange for two low-grade spirit stones. Money and goods were exchanged simultaneously.

Old Wang weighed the medicine bottle in his hand and thought for a moment before asking, "Xiao Gao, how much more of this medicine do you have?"

"As many spirit stones as you have, that's how much medicine you'll get."

"To be honest, your medicine is really effective. How about this, I'll help you sell the Deer Horn Powder. We split the money seventy-thirty."

Old Wang tempted, "This way, you can earn more money without taking any risks."

"No need to trouble you." Gao Xian flatly refused. This old guy was unreliable, and it would be troublesome to cooperate with him.

Seeing Gao Xian's firm attitude, Old Wang knew he couldn't persuade him. He tried again, "How about this, you only sell the Deer Horn Powder to me, is that okay?"

"Do you want exclusive agency?"

Gao Xian smiled again, "Sure, one spirit stone for eight pills of Deer Horn Powder."

"You're raising the price while I help you sell the medicine. You're not treating me like a person!"

The old man was a little annoyed. What was wrong with this kid?

"If you want to monopolize and make money, you need to have the capital. If you don't want to, forget it."

Gao Xian didn't want to deal with this old guy anymore. He just wanted to take advantage without any business sense or vision.

"You really don't understand, you brat!"

Old Wang originally wanted to exclusively sell the Deer Horn Powder and make some money. He had planned it well, but Gao Xian didn't listen to him, which made him so angry that he cursed directly.

Old Wang huffed and walked away, but Gao Xian suddenly stopped him, "Old Wang, don't be angry. Business doesn't work without righteousness. It's meaningless to curse people."

He continued, "I'll sell the Deer Horn Powder only to you, but you need to bring me a few Purple Taro Flowers as a show of sincerity."

"Purple Taro Flowers?"

Old Wang often hunted in the mountains and also collected herbs. He was familiar with most common herbs, and he had indeed seen Purple Taro Flowers.

This thing was not too rare, and it wasn't troublesome to pick.

He turned around and asked Gao Xian, "Can I trust your words?"

"Of course."

Gao Xian waved his hand at Old Wang, "Bring me the Purple Taro Flowers, and then we can talk."

After sending Old Wang away, Gao Xian took out the Book of Wind and Moon and glanced at it, unexpectedly finding that his Human Dao Spiritual Light had increased by nine points...
