At the beginning, Li Rui was completely at a loss, not knowing what to do. He should have been in the process of learning alchemy! Suddenly, he felt as if he was improving his physical condition and agility.
There was nothing he could do; who knew the crazy old man had set such rules?
In the next moment, Li Rui found his target. Every time he tried to use his vital energy to launch it from his body, little did he know that this vital energy was quite uncooperative and would wilt as soon as it came out.
The prey was truly infuriating, acting provocatively towards Li Rui, which made him extremely frustrated.
After one attempt, Li Rui realized he had made no progress, and there were still about ten other tasks left undone.
He knew that he couldn't be half-hearted; if he tried to do several things at once, he wouldn't be able to unleash his original potential. A sudden wave of frustration arose in his heart.
Li Rui began to notice that the more anxious he became, the harder it was to find an effective method. Sigh!
"Is it possible to control objects with my vital energy? Even without a hint of consciousness, can I strike with speed? Could it be…"
Li Rui nodded repeatedly; this effect seemed useful. He decided to give it a try. He casually picked up a stick from the ground and focused on everything around him, even though narrowing his range still caused some strain on his eyes.
He found it—wasn't that the arrogant rabbit from earlier? Let's see if he can succeed this time.
Li Rui began to meditate, calming his mind and attempting to lift the stick with his spiritual energy. Little did he know that he actually succeeded; however, the striking distance was very limited, which was the most awkward part.
At first, he could only launch it ten meters away, but gradually, he managed to reach a distance of one hundred meters.
"I did it!" After struggling for over ten hours, Li Rui burst forth with joy from his success; it was a feeling like never before—truly amazing.
That arrogant rabbit had now become Li Rui's meal!
While eating roasted rabbit meat, he looked at the tasks ahead.
Little did they know, what followed was all about alchemy, and his focus was already sufficient.
Indeed, it started with the basic Qi Recovery Pill, which Li Rui had made before. At the beginning, everything flowed smoothly.
However, within three minutes, the pill was completed, but the next concoction made Li Rui frown.
The ingredients included: Dragon Tail Grass, Cleft Flower, Horse's Life Root... all of these had to be found by himself, and they were scattered throughout an entire mountain. Moreover, the mad old man's drawing style was truly "flawless," causing Li Rui to smile awkwardly.
He couldn't believe such a drawing could be presented; he really wondered how he learned to paint.
When he finally found these items, Li Rui spent nearly thirty minutes and never expected things would turn out this way.
Additionally, due to the mad old man's drawing style, he managed to find a few similar herbs. There was no choice; he had to treat a dead horse as if it were alive!
Then Li Rui began the alchemy process. After hundreds of previous failures, this time turned out unexpectedly successful.
"This mad old man isn't bad; letting me use his alchemy furnace is quite generous," Li Rui murmured.
Indeed, Li Rui now realized he had previously misunderstood this mad old man. Throughout history, great disciples have emerged under strict teachers; what did a little setback matter? He had walked this path step by step himself.
Each time he spent only a few minutes, but then things took a turn with several explosions in the furnace! Li Rui frowned repeatedly.
It seemed that similar herbs might cause some unexpected changes when using the vital energy within his body.
Li Rui immediately began to act, and indeed, this was the situation; a faint aura of energy flowed directly into the alchemy furnace.
Suddenly, a phenomenon of various colors appeared, seemingly altering the properties of the elixir. Li Rui was extremely delighted by this occurrence.
He continuously observed the process of forming the elixir, and in the next moment, a dark elixir appeared in Li Rui's hand.
It emitted a faint scent of Danxiang, and that feeling was truly extraordinary! He couldn't help but wonder what effects this would have once ingested.
A bold idea arose in Li Rui's mind: to test the elixir on himself.
Little did he know that the sensation upon consuming the elixir felt like drinking traditional Chinese medicine, but after three breaths, it concealed a hint of sweetness.
This... feeling from deep within had already surpassed his understanding of alchemy.
Suddenly, a wonderful thought emerged in his mind; his Dantian felt a burning sensation.
Li Rui couldn't help but remove his outer garment. Under the sunlight, his skin appeared bronze-colored, yet it couldn't hide a hint of radiance.
There was no turning back. Li Rui let out a loud shout, and an overwhelming aura burst forth from him, as the scars left by time were shaken out of his body with that one shout.
At that moment, he felt an exhilarating sensation that seemed to come from nowhere.
He didn't know when it happened, but the crazy old man suddenly appeared beside Li Rui, startling him greatly.
"What are you doing? Why did such a situation suddenly arise?"
Li Rui then revealed his recent method and used the herbs once again to create a dark pill.
Little did they know, the crazy old man weighed it in his hand, unsure of what effects this pill might have!
"What is this?" the crazy old man couldn't help but ask.
Li Rui shrugged, indicating that he also didn't understand what was going on. He had just infused a little bit of energy into it, and it turned out this way. Moreover, he didn't even know what kind of herb it was.
Ultimately, it was still the crazy old man's fault; after all, his drawing skills were so poor that the things he found only bore a slight resemblance.
"How about you try it?"
The crazy old man nodded and then swallowed the pill.
In the next second, his expression darkened, but then it transformed into one of pleasant surprise, as if he had discovered something.
"This seems familiar from the Pharmacopoeia, but I can't quite remember. It seems to have been lost to time! I didn't expect you to suddenly concoct such an extraordinary item; even I don't know what its effects are. I'll have to look it up when I get back."
