Seeing Tang Rao cooking the old ginseng in such a way, Mrs. Chen's face was full of pity.
"Young Master, cooking the old ginseng in a pressure cooker like this, I'm afraid it's all going to waste," Mrs. Chen said while picking through broad beans.
These two-hundred-year-old ginsengs, each could cost millions.
A hundred of them would be a billion.
"It's fine, Mrs. Chen, I know what I'm doing," Tang Rao said with a smile, then began to activate his Qi-gathering technique, absorbing the Spiritual Energy that was dissipating from the pressure cooker.
During the cooking process of the hundred ginseng roots, Tang Rao was able to absorb a bit of Spiritual Energy.
Can't let it go to waste; every little bit counts.
After about forty minutes, the old ginseng in the pressure cooker had turned mushy.
After cooling, Tang Rao started to mash these old ginsengs and then stuffed them all into the dicine Furnace.
This dicine Furnace could hold quite a lot; after mashing the hundred roots of old ginseng, it was more than half full.
The limit should be around a hundred and fifty roots.
"Mrs. Chen, go ahead with your work, I'm off," Tang Rao said as he dashed out of the kitchen with the dicine Furnace, the process of making Spiritual dicine couldn't be seen by Mrs. Chen.
It's not that he was afraid of Mrs. Chen learning by stealth; she simply could never learn it.
Tang Rao was worried that Mrs. Chen would be scared, putting in mashed old ginseng but getting Old Ginseng Pills out. With the acceptance level of ordinary people, it would be hard to understand.
Especially here on Blue Star, among ordinary people, there is no such thing as the refining of Spiritual dicine.
After rushing into his room, Tang Rao imdiately locked the door from inside.
Then he began to refine the Old Ginseng Pills.
To refine one Old Ginseng Pill would require a unit of Spiritual Energy, taking one Old Ginseng Pill could increase three units of Spiritual Energy, Tang Rao now had thirty units of Spiritual Energy in his body.
He could refine thirty Old Ginseng Pills at one go.
...
Refining Old Ginseng Pills was not difficult for Tang Rao's soul Realm at all.
This kind of thing wasn't even considered as Spiritual dicine, no need to inscribe pill patterns or Array Maps, in about ten minutes, Tang Rao used up all his Spiritual Energy.
The number of successfully refined Old Ginseng Pills was more than expected, totaling thirty-five.
Each one could increase three units of Spiritual Energy, which would be a total of one hundred and five units of Spiritual Energy, enough to gather Qi.
"Let's get all this sorted out first," Tang Rao refrained from rushing and began to take the Old Ginseng Pills.
Once the Spiritual Energy in his Dantian was full, he would refine the remaining Old Ginseng Pills.
Refining the other sixty-five Old Ginseng Pills, Tang Rao spent sixty units of Spiritual Energy.
By then he was completely out of Spiritual Energy in his belly, but he had eighty Old Ginseng Pills in hand.
"Xiao Rao, what are you doing locked in your room? Co out for lunch, your aunt is also here," suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Bai Yushu's voice ca through.
"Coming right away." Tang Rao replied, put away the eighty Old Ginseng Pills, stretched, washed his face, and walked out of the room.
With eighty Old Ginseng Pills in hand, today he would be able to reach the Qi-gathering phase.
However, Tang Rao was also troubled; after reaching the Qi-gathering phase, the required amount of Spiritual Energy would surge.
You need at least one thousand units of Spiritual Energy to go from the early Qi-gathering phase to the middle phase, and at least five thousand units for the transition from the middle to the late phase.
Relying solely on old ginseng is impractical, where could one find so many high-quality old ginsengs?
It's still best to figure out a way to get a Pill Furnace, along with so high-quality Dan Fire to refine Spiritual dicine, that's the solution.
On Blue Star, with so many high-grade herbal ingredients, not refining them into Spiritual dicine to increase Spiritual Energy would be a waste.
"Xiao Rao, co down quickly!" Bai Xiaotong's voice ca from downstairs.
"Coming!" Tang Rao gathered his thoughts and went downstairs clattering.
There were only three people in the living room: Bai Yushu, Bai Xiaotong, and Lei Li.
All three of them had their eyes on Tang Rao.
"Xiao Rao, is what your aunt said true? Did you really open your Qi Mansion?" Bai Yushu looked sowhat excited, but there was also a hint of worry in his excitent.
"Uh, sort of." Tang Rao nodded.
What he really wanted to say was that it wasn't any Qi Mansion, it was a Spirit Root! Innate, bound to his soul!
"I've already discussed this with your grandpa; his idea is to keep it confidential for now." Bai Xiaotong said to Tang Rao, sotis things kept in the dark can be more useful.
"It doesn't matter to , I wasn't planning to make a big fuss about it anyway." Tang Rao shrugged nonchalantly.
"Also, when will you co back with to test your actually talent?" Bai Xiaotong said with a smile, "I'm telling you, Xiao Rao, as long as you prove impressive, I'd like to see if those dumb birds dare to press your mom."
Press Bai Yushu?
Tang Rao's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Xiao Tong, stop talking nonsense. Co on, Xiao Rao, let's eat, the food is getting cold." Bai Yushu scolded Bai Xiaotong, seeming very reluctant to bring the matter up.
"There's nothing that can't be said, not ntioning it before doesn't an it can't be said now. Tang Rao, let tell you, every ti your mother cos back to her parental ho, she has to endure so people's sarcasm and even verbal insults. You got to stand up for her, if those dumbasses dare to step out of line again, smash their mouths!" Bai Xiaotong said with visible fury.
Clearly, she had harbored resentnt for so ti.
Tang Rao's eyes narrowed into a line, he truly treated Bai Yushu as his mother.
From Bai Yushu, he felt a mother's love he had never experienced before.
"Auntie, do you have a list?" Tang Rao looked at Bai Xiaotong, "List those who insulted my mom for , I'll make sure they kneel and call daddy when I get there."
Bai Xiaotong was first stunned, then burst into laughter.
"You really are my Bai Xiaotong's grandnephew, powerful! Co on, let's drink to that!"
Everyone: "..."
"Young Master, soone outside has sent you a gift." Halfway through the al, Mrs. Chen walked in and called out to Tang Rao.
Sent a gift?
What the hell? Didn't I already receive all those botany books I ordered online?
"They said it was arranged with you..." Mrs. Chen was also sowhat helpless; the sender had insisted on Young Master signing for it personally.
Arranged... arranged...
Damn it, could it be that scheming brat?
He actually sent over a hundred two-hundred-year-old ginseng?
Of course, it could also be a bomb, who knows.
"Alright, I'll go take a look." Tang Rao put down his chopsticks and dashed out.
Outside the villa, there stood two n in black suits, one holding a large box.
Tang Rao took a slight sniff, holy crap, Spiritual Energy!
Is it really old ginseng?
"Mr. Tang Rao, these are from our young master. Please take them." The suited man stepped forward, handing the large box over to Tang Rao.
Then, without any further ado, they turned and left.
Tang Rao didn't delay, snapping the box open.
Inside it were densely packed a hundred roots of old ginseng, looking at the years and feeling the Spiritual Energy, these were even better than what Jiang Langyue had sent.
Tang Rao was dumbfounded, what was that brat up to? Really sending over a hundred roots of old ginseng.
Did he feel a bit remorseful for sending assassins after twice?
Sothing's off here, definitely off.
"Xiao Rao, who sent you that?" When Tang Rao entered with the box, Bai Yushu asked curiously.
Not many people have sent Xiao Rao anything over the years.
"So lunatic..." Tang Rao thought for a mont before responding.
"Right, auntie, let ask you sothing, do you know soone called the Ghost King?" Tang Rao looked at Bai Xiaotong casually inquiring.
"Ghost King!" Bai Xiaotong's voice suddenly turned shrill.
