My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Chapter 136 Ointment Like Elixir Pills, Temple Borrowing Incense

Cliffside, cave.

Chen Sansi barged into the den of an Exotic Beast, White Deer.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

In an instant, three arrows were shot out, killing the White Deer on the ground.

"It's mine now."

Carrying the Zhenyue Sword, Chen Sansi brought back a large amount of firewood from outside, then filled the Mystic Iron Furnace with water from a nearby stream, and stuffed it with Spiritual Grain he had pulled from the fields.

Finally, it was time to light a fire.

He was somewhat nervous inside.

If it failed again and even the Mystic Iron Furnace couldn't withstand it, he feared that only the incense burner in Ci Yun Temple would suffice.

"Boom—"

The moment the flame touched the firewood smeared with oil, it turned into a blazing red fire dragon, enveloping the entire furnace.

"It worked!"

Chen Sansi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Mystic Iron Furnace was visibly warping and deforming under the scorching of the Abnormal Fire, it could completely withstand the heat for a short time without direct damage.

He began to add a large amount of firewood.

Using lamp oil to ignite would produce Abnormal Fire, but it consumed an extravagant amount of fuel; logs as thick as an arm had to be added one after another, and if he stopped for a moment, the fire would extinguish, necessitating a waste of more lamp oil to reignite.

If the object truly came from the Immortal Realm, it definitely would have a specific fuel type and wouldn't be so troublesome.

In no time, Chen Sansi had run back and forth several times fetching wood. Thankfully, there was plenty of firewood on the mountain, otherwise, there would not have been enough.

"Hum!"

With the roasting of the Abnormal Fire, the Mystic Iron Furnace buzzed until it began to emit wisps of blue smoke, indicating that the water inside had evaporated. He then stopped adding wood and let the flames die out.

The whole process lasted only about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

When it cooled down, Chen Sansi lifted the lid of the furnace to look inside, only to find the Spiritual Grain had vanished, replaced by a black mushy substance, just like rice burnt in a cooking pot.

He scraped some out with a stick and sniffed it at his nostrils, detecting a fragrant scent.

"What's this, medicine ointment?"

Chen Sansi dared not try it rashly and instead tested it on a variety of animals, large and small, including a Poisonous Beast wolf, quickly deducing the general pattern.

Starting with rabbits, the larger the body size, the smaller the side effects.

By the time it was tried on a leopard, they no longer died!

Even a brown bear remained unharmed.

"Eat!"

He finally pried open the mouth of the Poison Wolf.

This time, not only did the wolf not suffer side effects, but it also became stronger and more fierce!

Chen Sansi immediately picked up the Zhenyue Sword and chopped off its head.

"Seems there's no problem."

He took a deep breath and stuffed some of the medicine ointment into his mouth.

Instantly.

A unique sensation spread from his abdomen, flowing through his limbs and filling his meridians.

Chen Sansi picked up the Five Tigers Soul-breaking Spear and practiced the Hua Jing Technique.

Hua Jing, as the name implies.

Is about transforming the Qi-Blood in the body into Power, and this process requires maintaining a "Blood Explosion" state, understanding how to transform Qi into power through the challenge of pushing limits.

Therefore, for the vast majority of Martial Artists, it is an extremely slow and difficult process, as they can only last for twenty or thirty bouts at most.

Chen Sansi was different; he could last for at least two hundred bouts.

Additionally, as he cultivated, the Spiritual Rice Medicine Ointment continuously further strengthened his flesh and Qi-Blood, which provided great assistance, the effect exceeding Plant Ash by more than three times!

The meridian toxicity still existed.

However, the ointment extracted by boiling water greatly reduced the toxicity, retaining even more essence.

From late at night until dusk the next day, his proficiency increased significantly.

[Progress: 20/100]

According to the original plan.

Chen Sansi would need at least two months to achieve Hua Jing.

But now, it would take less than a month.

This speed, even amongst geniuses, could surpass ninety-nine percent of people.

As for Cao Fan's Hua Jing.

It was because he had reached Refining Internal Organs Perfection for several months, compounded with the support of the Imperial Family's resources; it would have been abnormal if he didn't achieve Hua Jing, and he likely had some secret moves that could improve his Cultivation.

No matter what.

He had solved a major problem and could now quickly achieve Hua Jing and then Meridian Passage.

But to break through to Martial Saint within three years...

In the mortal world, probably no more than three people could achieve it.

The difficulty was still considerable.

He would have to give it his all.

"I wonder how I'd fare against a Hua Jing Warrior with my current strength,"

"I should be able to put up a fight!"

Chen Sansi thought to himself as he began to clean up the site.

He took out a porcelain bottle for storing elixir pills and scraped the ointment into it bit by bit.

The Spiritual Grain he brought had nearly filled the entire furnace, yet only a thin layer of medicine ointment was produced.

"Does this count as an Immortal Pill? Am I doing Alchemy?"

"Probably not."

After Chen Sansi ate the ointment, he didn't notice any effects that could aid in the cultivation of spells, nor did a [Alchemy] proficiency panel appear before him, what increased was his proficiency in [Medical Skill].

[Skill: Medical Skill. Mortal (Mastery)]

[Progress: 491/1000]

Now it seems, the "Mortal" word in front is traceable, perhaps in the future, there might be a chance to cultivate the medical arts of the Immortal Realm.

But if that's the case.

Why did the Immortal demand the Emperor worship with Spiritual Grain?

Clearly, there is no Spiritual Energy in this world, and the cultivated Spiritual Grain does not contain any mystic properties. Is it possible that it's just a kind of raw material?

Besides, another problem arises.

That is the Mystic Iron Furnace will be burnt out, it looks like it can be used one more time, then it will need replacing.

A furnace made of Mystic Iron would cost more than three thousand silver pieces no matter where it's purchased, and the key issue is that Mystic Iron is an extremely precious resource. Even if one has the money, buying a furnace every now and then would eventually attract unwanted attention.
