Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 9: The Woman in Black

"The human spiritual light at ten points is actually brought by the Deer Horn Powder..."

Gao Xian had many speculations about the newly added human spiritual light.

Calculating, the human spiritual light at exactly ten points can only correspond to the ten Deer Horn Powders that were sold.

So, as long as one takes the Deer Horn Powder and feels happy, will they also produce human spiritual light?

Gao Xian was not certain about this, but it wasn't difficult to verify.

This time, he gave Lao Wang twenty Deer Horn Powders again. If it was true that the Deer Horn Powder could generate human spiritual light, he would soon see the results.

Opening the alchemical furnace, he continued his work.

The Bai Lu Pill couldn't be refined, but the Hui Qi Pill and Gu Yuan Pill were no problem.

Alchemical refinement, cultivation, petting the cat, eating, and practicing with Lan Jie.

After three days, Gao Xian refined another furnace of Hui Qi Pills, yielding over 340 pills.

Alchemical refinement was a test of patience. He couldn't leave halfway and had to guard the furnace.

Although it didn't affect eating, cultivation, or petting the cat, and he could even take a short nap, it was still a very boring and monotonous job.

After a few days, Gao Xian's skin was yellowed and dried out from the charcoal fire, and his whole body was filled with a strong medicinal scent.

In the beginning, Gao Xian found alchemical refinement exciting and full of enthusiasm.

But once the initial excitement wore off, the intense work of alchemical refinement became a bit difficult to endure.

Fortunately, he refined over forty pills, which was equivalent to earning four low-grade spirit stones.

The Hui Qi Pill was used to quickly restore spiritual energy and mana, making it suitable for assisting in cultivation. It was an essential pill for cultivators.

However, the pills were expensive, and it was extravagant to use the Hui Qi Pill for cultivation. It cost at least three low-grade spirit stones per month.

Although Gao Xian could refine pills, he couldn't afford the consumption.

There was a poem from the past: "Bitterly resenting the yearly pressure of the golden thread, making wedding clothes for others."

However, Gao Xian wasn't discouraged.

In essence, he was just a part of the alchemical production line. The medicinal materials and alchemical furnace were not his, and he had to give his master seventy to eighty percent of his alchemical income.

This was the operating rule of this society.

If there were no such benefits, why would his master take on apprentices?

Complaining about these things was meaningless. If he couldn't change it, he would join in. When he became powerful, he would naturally gain more.

During the alchemical refinement process, there were inevitably many consumables. The medicinal materials given to him by Zhu the shopkeeper had an additional twenty percent consumption.

Fortunately, his alchemical skills had greatly improved, and he could convert the twenty percent consumption of medicinal materials into pills.

The over forty Hui Qi Pills he refined this time were his exclusive gains. He could consume them himself or sell them.

Gao Xian lightly brushed his hand on his Dao robe, and Lan Jie in his mind helped him condense the talisman, activating the Cleansing Technique.

A faint water light flashed from head to toe, sweeping away the charcoal dust on Gao Xian's body, and his green Dao robe became clean as new.

Even the long hair tied into a Dao bun became shiny and lustrous.

Life became very inconvenient after crossing into this world.

The simplest thing was personal hygiene. It was troublesome to wash one's face without hot water. Without modern hair care products, it was even more troublesome to tidy up the long hair tied into a Dao bun.

With the Cleansing Technique, he could wash himself and his clothes together.

The effect was equivalent to wiping with warm water and then drying, very useful.

After tidying up his personal hygiene, Gao Xian completed his daily compulsory exercises and then lay on the bed, half asleep and half awake, his consciousness entering the Wind and Moon Mirror deep in his brow.

In the boudoir, Lan Jie greeted Gao Xian, gently helping him undress and take off his shoes.

After completing a set of procedures, Gao Xian fell asleep contentedly.

The next day, Gao Xian woke up early. Taking advantage of his good mental state, he took out the Wind and Moon Mirror.

He was used to immersing himself in the Wind and Moon Mirror with his consciousness while practicing the Great Illusory Divine Art.

Although he liked to take out the Wind and Moon Mirror to look at the data, holding it in his hand made it feel more real.

In these few days, the data had all increased, with alchemical refinement increasing the fastest.

The Mesmerizing Powder had reached the level of a grandmaster, and he had refined several furnaces of pills, which allowed him to make great progress in alchemical refinement.

Even the Fire Manipulation Technique, Water Manipulation Technique, and Cleansing Technique had all improved.

Turning it over to the back of the Wind and Moon Mirror, the human spiritual light had been continuously increasing these past two days, totaling twenty points.

It was clear that these human spiritual lights were brought by the Deer Horn Powder.

Calculating, he still had one hundred and seventy Deer Horn Powders, which meant one hundred and seventy points of human spiritual light!

It was a pity that Lao Wang's efficiency in selling medicine was too poor.

For the human spiritual light, Gao Xian was willing to give away the Deer Horn Powder for free. Besides, the medicinal materials used to refine the Deer Horn Powder were not valuable.

However, people like Lao Wang wouldn't appreciate it. Giving him the Deer Horn Powder for free would only make him more greedy.

It's about time for Lao Wang to come over these days.

Gao Xian didn't think highly of Lao Wang at first, but the fierce and wolf-like appearance of Lao Wang last time made him extremely cautious.

Feima Market has its order, and generally speaking, there won't be anyone openly committing murder in Feima Market.

But things are different in private.

From the memories of the original owner, people often die in Feima Market without anyone investigating the killer.

People like Lao Wang, who hunt in the mountains all year round to make a living, are really dangerous.

The most dangerous thing is that Lao Wang is very greedy and short-sighted. Perhaps a few dozen low-grade spirit stones can trigger his murderous intent.

It's like someone throwing nails on the highway just to make money from tire repairs. He doesn't consider how dangerous it is, or maybe he simply doesn't care about these risks.

Gao Xian is not paranoid, there are various public security issues even in the modern society of the previous life.

Not to mention this chaotic Feima Market, where almost everyone knows spells.

It's like everyone is fully armed with pistols, rifles, grenades, rocket launchers, and so on.

In this environment, Gao Xian naturally lacks a sense of security. What's even more terrifying is that he seems to not even have a decent handgun...

At first, he racked his brains to make up for the deficit in elixirs.

Later, he found out about the relationship between the original owner and Zhu Qiniang, which relieved him. At least Zhu Qiniang wouldn't really do anything to him!

With the Deer Horn Powder, the deficit in elixirs can always be made up. This matter is no longer a big concern.

Now the most important issue is personal safety.

The Five Elements Cultivation increases by a little every day, and it will take hundreds of days to level up.

Moreover, the improvement in cultivation does not mean an improvement in combat power.

Gao Xian listed all the spells he knows, and only the Fire Control Spell has some damage, but its power is pitifully low.

The Feather Flight Spell can make the body as light as a feather, allowing for high jumps and convenient wall jumping, with an effect lasting about ten minutes.

This spell is useful, but not very useful.

The Electric Dragon Hand can immobilize the opponent if it manages to grab them, with a high chance of rendering the opponent defenseless.

He has never been in a fight since he was young and has no combat experience at all. It's too risky to reach out and grab an opponent who is a cultivator.

As for the Great Illusionary Divine Spell, it is even less useful in direct combat.

The only combat skill the original owner mastered is the Gentle Breeze Sword Technique.

Gao Xian looked at the Damascus steel sword in front of him. It should have a pure steel blade, three feet long, with beautiful pine wood patterns on it, weighing about seven jin.

It's enough to use it to attack. Even if it's just ordinary iron armor, a single thrust of the sword is enough to penetrate it.

Gao Xian tried it out and, relying on the mana circulating in his body, his strength, endurance, and agility far surpassed that of an ordinary person.

But among cultivators, he is just a weakling at the second level of Qi Refining.

Wielding the Damascus steel sword, Gao Xian skillfully sheathed the sword.

The original owner also practiced swordsmanship for some time, so these simple movements were easy for him to perform.

Gao Xian tried to use the Electric Dragon Hand to draw the sword, and the sword flashed out of its sheath, but it didn't achieve the effect he expected.

The Electric Dragon Hand is fast, but it is limited to the fingers, palm, and wrist.

Swordsmanship requires coordinated movements of the whole body, including the waist, back, shoulders, upper arm, forearm, and hand, all needing to exert force together.

Even though the Electric Dragon Hand is fast, it is difficult to exert its full potential in this full-body forceful movement.

This disappointed Gao Xian a little.

If the Electric Dragon Hand could be used in swordsmanship, it would greatly enhance his combat power.

Unfortunately...

Gao Xian sat on the bed, pondering how to become stronger, when he suddenly heard a very faint sound.

After practicing the Great Illusionary Divine Spell, his perception became extremely sharp.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't pay attention to these naturally occurring faint sounds.

Only abnormal changes would immediately trigger his alertness and allow him to sense many subtle changes in the outside world through his sixth sense.

Gao Xian couldn't see the situation outside, but through the subtle changes in the sound, he could outline the situation in his mind.

Someone just climbed over the wall into the courtyard, moving lightly.

Is it Lao Wang again?

He had a feeling that it wasn't Lao Wang this time because the aura was different.

The aura here is not a smell, but a feeling formed by various pieces of information combined.

Gao Xian nervously held two talismans and approached the window, carefully looking outside through the cracks in the window paper.

A woman in black was walking lightly towards the door.

The woman appeared to be around thirty years old, with soft features and a graceful figure. When she walked, her waist swayed, exuding a certain charm.

Gao Xian was stunned. Who is this again? Why does she look somewhat familiar?
