The eyes of several patriarchs flickered, knowing that these two country folk were probably the parents of the disciple Xu Guang valued during this period.
Xu Guang rely drank a cup of wine and left, leaving the following matters to Xu Fang.
He did not enjoy such socializing.
But this was a necessity when one’s status reached a certain level, as it had been since ancient tis.
...
"Master Xu!"
Xu Guang turned around and looked at the little one running towards him.
This was Cao Xiu, the legitimate son of the Cao Family, who had a touch of ruthlessness in his character. Except for a few days, the experience he could provide daily was generally full, at five points.
Xu Guang still paid considerable attention to such high-quality "crops."
"What’s the matter?"
Cao Xiu said sowhat shyly, "I... my father asked to ask you, being alone without soone to serve you, would you like my second sister to take care of you? She’s very good at taking care of people, and her cooking is delicious!"
Xu Guang was dumbfounded and laughed.
Truly a child, too honest.
"No need."
Cao Xiu turned and ran away.
Xu Guang squinted his eyes; such behavior was understandable, as sending a woman had always been a way to ingratiate with the strong.
But...
Sotis currying favor is, in itself, a kind of probing.
’I’ll have Xu Fang remind them later; I’m here to harvest experience, not to play mind gas with these people.’
...
Back in his room, Xu Guang took out the Stone Mirror. The small seal script on this Stone Mirror was becoming increasingly clear. Xu Guang infused his eyes with Innate Qi and simultaneously activated the Feng Shui Master’s Qi Observation skill.
Vaguely, he could see the tadpole-like small seal script slightly undulating, seemingly alive, accompanied by faint thunder resonating as they moved.
This was a very mystical script, which Xu Guang had been studying for over two months.
His interpretations of these texts were rather vague guesses, with their true aning likely related to thunder.
Besides the Stone Mirror’s replication vaguely reflecting thunder, he also recalled the bronze fragnt previously shrinking considerably after being struck by lightning.
’In the current world, the path of the Qi Refiner seems to be cursed. From various traces, it appears that during the Langya Dynasty a thousand years ago, Qi Refiners existed.
But a thousand years later, Qi Refiners are completely unable to successfully open the Spirit Palace, nor can they generate qi within their bodies.
And that Xin Nanyan, who slaughtered the Grand Guardian of Great Zhou and looms like a shadow over major forces in the world, he should be a Qi Refiner who couldn’t last long in this cursed world of Qi Refiners, thus leaving behind a force like the Celestial Destiny Sect...’
Looking through a fraction to see the whole picture, after becoming a Qi Refiner, Xu Guang had many of his own views on the enigmatic situation behind this chaotic world.
Thinking too much about these matters is of no benefit.
Xu Guang suppressed his thoughts and picked up the brush to continue transcribing the tadpole-like small seal script on the rice paper.
In his previous life, he heard that so experts in oracle bone script studies understood their aning through constant copying.
After writing for a while, he gained nothing.
Xu Guang put down the pen and walked to the seven hundred acres of orchards behind, which was for the research of the Golden Core Fragnt.
The pharmacist’s practice leaned more towards practical application. Through the Golden Core Fragnt, he had begun experints on refining the Golden Core.
In over two months, this was already the tenth attempt.
Of course, the herbs used couldn’t be Fifth-Grade Treasure dicines; they were based on main ingredients with similar properties, supplented by several high-age Mortal dicines with similar properties.
This kind of experintal consumption was still affordable for Xu Guang.
Opening the pill furnace, a sowhat strange fragrance emanated...
Ah Wei, who had just co over to sniff, directly moved away after slling this aroma, seeming disdainful, grabbed seven or eight Water Cloud Fruits, and quickly bit into them.
As if to calm his nerves.
"Still not quite right..."
Ignoring Ah Wei, Xu Guang muttered to himself.
In his current simulation of the Golden Core, he should have reached a bottleneck, a breakthrough would allow him to simulate a complete Golden Core Pill Formula of his own.
"One of the three main ingredients still has an inappropriate property..."
Xu Guang took out an elixir, sniffed it at his nose, and licked it.
He closed his eyes and pondered for a mont.
He took out a charcoal pen, carefully noted down the previous feelings, and compared various properties.
A mont later, he got up and left.
...
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.
Chifeng Prefecture City, Baisheng Mine.
Socializing, Xu Guang sat in a corner, wearing a bamboo hat, mingling among the people.
Tens of ters ahead, several n were circling a huge stone, seemingly observing every corner of it.
They were searching for the Stone Heart.
This was an activity unique to mineral-rich areas like Chifeng City. During the mining process, so stones different from those in the ore veins often appeared.
In this world, because of the existence of Spirit Charm between heaven and earth, strange minerals frequently appeared in mines, able to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and always capable of nurturing incredible things.
The Stone Heart with incredibly powerful Spirit Charm could forge Divine Weapons for even Fifth-Grade and Fourth-Grade experts.
There were also so exotic Treasure dicines with extraordinary effects.
This kind of stone was called Stone Essence, extracted from the essence of the stone. Many people in Chifeng Prefecture would sell it, sowhat similar to gambling on stones in the previous life.
The most famous was when the Sword Casting Manor found a Dragon Essence three years ago. Xu Guang was extrely tempted by this item. If Ah Wei could obtain it, it would trendously enhance him, enabling Ah Wei to comprehend Dragon Attribute Demon Technique.
It’s unknown how the Sword Casting Manor dealt with that Dragon Essence; Xu Guang was quite eager to trade with them.
