Chapter 10: The Little Rejuvenation Soup

A bowl of Great Rejuvenation Soup can restore approximately 50 to 60 points of mana, accumulating a mutation pollution level of 0.0015%

After dawn, the eerie black mist in the wilderness gradually dissipated, as if it had come to life, emitting a mournful sound, filled with great reluctance

Prior to this, the task of fetching water was shared among Ji Chang, Xu Shen, and Jiang Ying in rotation. However, after Jiang Ying broke her leg and Xu Shen also expressed reluctance to go out, the two of them decided to pay a certain price to have Ji Chang fetch the water.

Once a pot of rejuvenating soup is ready, Sister Jiang explains to him the distribution rules among the members of the Floating Cloud Sect

However, how can a little cutie be enough? What Li Si desires is great joy and great sorrow

It is quite surprising that, despite the absence of any trace of the joyful mushrooms yesterday, these little red cuties have made a full recovery overnight

Firstly, because this medicinal cauldron belongs to the old lady, she is considered a key shareholder regardless of her involvement. No matter who it is, as long as they brew the resurrection soup, they must provide the old lady with three bowls of the finest essence.

Therefore, according to this rule, after the first round of distribution, Li Si is qualified to drink two large bowls of the small soul-reviving soup, restoring a total of 55 points of magical power. After deducting the 5 points consumed to activate the alchemy cauldron, he nets a profit of 50 points

Sister Jiang spoke with great detail, guiding Li Si on how to use fire and how to stimulate the remaining medicinal properties within the Medicine God Cauldron using magical power

Alienation pollution level + 0.4%

So what use is there in mastering more magical arts?

Although small, its power exploded as expected

The Great Resurrection Soup requires nine types of auxiliary ingredients. In addition to the three mentioned earlier, three different types of exotic wood remnants and three types of exotic stone remnants are also needed. The so-called exotic stones are various minerals that have been tainted by the powers of evil deities, resulting in mutations. They are quite dangerous, but relatively easy to collect. However, our master has the most exotic stone remnants, which will be sufficient for our use for a long time.

Indeed, Master Lu of the Assassin's Creed once said, the joy of a day lies in the morning; if one wishes to reap rewards, one must rise early

Thus, Li Si resolutely practiced through the night, immediately brewing the small soul-reviving soup as soon as his magical power was consumed to one hundred points. This desperate appearance moved Ji Chang and Xu Shen quite a bit, but it only evoked a slight sentiment in them. In their view, if Li Si could originally live for another three to four years, continuing to exhaust himself like this would at most give him one more year.

Fourthly, the outer disciples can only have some soup and water

However, there is a new issue here, which is water extraction

With the water storage capacity of the purification pouch, it is only sufficient to boil two pots of the small revival soup each day. If Li Si wishes to boil several more pots in a day, the task of fetching water will have to fall upon him

Difficult to describe, difficult to understand, fortunatelyーー

Li Si now cannot help but admire the meticulous and calculating abilities of the Floating Cloud Trio. Of course, the most impressive is still the old lady, who truly knows how to win effortlessly

Secondly, whoever provides the main ingredient for the Soul Rejuvenation Soup and personally prepares it, as the process requires the consumption of approximately 5 points of mana, is also qualified to drink two bowls

The ingredients for the Hundred Herbs Revitalizing Soup are exceedingly rare, and merely gathering the materials is quite challenging. Moreover, the magical power restored by a bowl of Hundred Herbs Revitalizing Soup can even rival that of the Three Poisons Treasure Pill, yet the accumulated toxic pollution is similar to that of the Great Revitalizing Soup.

First, this jar, do you think it is an ordinary jar? Not at all, this is the Medicine God Cauldron used by my master in the past for alchemy. However, this item has been tainted by demonic energy, losing most of its spiritual essence. Do not think of alchemy; it can only be used to brew some soul-reviving soup that can restore magical power

At this moment, Ji Chang and Xu Shen were absolutely determined not to leave the stone house, even if they had promised the old lady to protect her, they would have to wait until the sun was high in the sky.

The Great Rejuvenation Soup restores a considerable amount of magical power, but it has a slightly higher accumulated toxicity. These two are the most common, and you have consumed both.

Then he lowered his voice and said

The cold message awakened Li Si, bringing him great surprise and joy

Thus, a sorrowful mushroom appeared simultaneously

Thirdly, those who are responsible for patrolling, guarding, and maintenance on a daily basis, such as Ji Chang who is in charge of the repair of the stone house, Xu Shen who is responsible for maintaining the defensive formation, and Jiang Ying who is in charge of fetching water, are also qualified to enjoy a large bowl of drink

At least this allows him to save three portions of gray fortune

Alienation pollution level + 0.8%

Is there no regret in death

Simply a big fool

Disciple, since you are already a true disciple of the Master, you are now qualified to know the method for preparing the Soul Recalling Soup

As for the Hundred Herbs Revitalizing Soup, alas, I have only consumed it once. The primary ingredients required are the King of Uncommon Ginseng or the Uncommon Polygonatum, both of which, while rare, are not exceedingly difficult to obtain. In contrast, the auxiliary ingredients are comparatively harder to acquire; they require the residual shells of four peculiar mushrooms: the Joyful Mushroom, the Sad Mushroom, the Angry Mushroom, and the Blissful Mushroom. However, the probability of obtaining these residual shells after they have been harvested is exceedingly low, and furthermore, the act of harvesting them entails significant risks, rendering it not worth the effort.

He knew he had only one second left before things went awry, so without hesitation, the heavily enhanced exorcism spell made its dazzling entrance with crackling lightning!

Li Si practiced in the corner for more than ten times, exhausting all of his one hundred points of magical power, and only then did he barely grasp a little bit of the basics

This is sufficient to prove that the secret techniques of Master Lu, the Assassin of the Brotherhood, are indeed correct. The joys and sorrows of individuals do not resonate with one another; however, when it comes to the joyful mushroom and the sorrowful mushroom, they can coexist.

Of course, this also includes a degree of alienation pollution of 0.002%

This is the main ingredient, and there are also auxiliary ingredients. The small rejuvenation soup has three types of auxiliary ingredients, namely the three types of seeds I just added. Please identify them well, and in the future, when you have the opportunity to go out, you can gather more.

However, he immediately began to brew a small revival soup, directly replenishing his magical power

Today, he is preparing to make a big move

Overall, the Great Soul Revival Soup offers better cost-effectiveness; however, the difficulty in sourcing the ingredients has led Li Si to decide to focus on brewing the Small Soul Revival Soup in the future. As long as the ingredients are sufficient, he can brew as many pots as he wishes

Moreover, since he is now one of the true disciples of the old lady, he must also participate in the water-fetching task next month, even if it is merely symbolic

Interesting

Disciple, the Heart-Purifying Mantra is not released in this manner

Inside the stone house, Li Si worked tirelessly, almost frantically. By the time dawn broke, he had successfully released half of the Tranquil Heart Spell. This progress was not particularly outstanding, but it certainly was not particularly poor either

From this, he also concluded that a bowl of small soul-reviving soup could restore approximately 25 to 30 points of mana, with an accumulated degree of aberration pollution of 0.001 percent

In the end, it was Jiang Ying who could no longer bear to watch, soothing the little girl to sleep before coming over to offer some guidance to Li Si. Although her words were few, they were all focused on the most critical points, allowing Li Si to gain a sudden clarity. In the subsequent attempts at practice, although he still could not fully release the Tranquil Heart Incantation, it could certainly be considered a rapid improvement.

Slay the incomplete variant of the aberrant evil entity, the Seven Emotions Mushroom, to obtain 400 pieces of gray firewood, 1 Joy Mushroom Remnant, and 1 Sadness Mushroom Remnant

His antics left both Ji Chang and Xu Shen speechless; truly, he is not afraid of death. In pursuit of mastering a mere Daoist technique, he is willing to forfeit his lifespan. Once, there was a martial enthusiast in the mortal realm; do you wish to become a Daoist fool as well

As night fell, Li Si borrowed a purification pouch and supplementary materials from Sister Jiang once again, brewed a second pot of Minor Soul Rejuvenation Soup, restored 50 points of mana, bringing his total mana back to 150 points. Only then did he sit in the corner and diligently practice the Daoist spell for calming the mind.

Looking at the red mushrooms growing on his belly and the blue mushrooms on his forehead, Li Si suddenly entered a very wondrous world—the legendary realm of ice and fire.

So far, the most suitable for us are three types of soul-reviving soup: the small soul-reviving soup, which is primarily made from the remnants of exotic herbs; the large soul-reviving soup, which is primarily made from the remnants of exotic wood; and the hundred herbs soul-reviving soup, which is primarily made from rare exotic herbs and exotic wood

The small revival potion restores a relatively small amount of mana, and naturally, the accumulated toxicity is also minimal

On this night, outside the stone house, wolves howled and ghosts wailed, black mist surged, and an aura of malevolence pervaded the air

Yes, this Taoist technique, the Heart-Purifying Spell, can be fully mastered by consuming ten portions of gray fortune at once, or it can be studied independently. This is a method that can save gray fortune; however, the cost is the continuous consumption of magical power, and the progress of mastery will be very slow.

At this moment, seeing Li Si preparing to start a fire to cook, Sister Jiang walked over, first taking out a clean water pouch and pouring approximately 10 kilograms of clear water into the earthen pot. Then, she took out three small cloth bags and tossed in three handfuls of seeds of different colors.

However, no one knows that Li Si merely used this method to lay some groundwork, while also engaging in various forms of personal gain, gradually restoring his magical power to 200 points

This is a strengthened exorcism spell that requires 100 points of mana to cast, and its power even creates a small area of lightning sparks around Li Si.

Moreover, Li Si felt that these two fellows might be up to some tricks

So early in the morning, disregarding Sister Jiang's advice, he directly left the stone house, oh, and took along the Demon-Subduing Standard, heading straight to the far west of the desolate village. Following the old lady's instructions, he inserted it there, then exited the formation without a word and immediately unleashed a set of Great Joy and Great Sorrow Palm.
