Chapter 243 The Spirit Gathering Array plus the Spirit Source Stone: A Double Boost
The next morning, when it was already bright, those who were supposed to be in class were already waiting for the teacher in the classroom, while those who were not in class were busy with their own work outside the courtyard.
Wenwen left the courtyard and strolled outside. She saw Wen Qiyuan and Ye Jingchuan standing together a little distance from the bamboo courtyard, discussing something in front of a red-hot iron block. Beside them was a pile of iron ore and a furnace. After their discussion, they took turns hammering the iron. After a while, Ye Jingchuan moved away from the forging table and stood aside, while Wen Qiyuan swung his sledgehammer at the red-hot iron block on the forging table, hammering it down again and again.
Gradually, the speed increased, and the outline of the hammer could no longer be seen; one could only guess at its shadow.
Wenwen knew she couldn't match the speed at which he swung his hammer. Swinging a hundred times without stopping was a fundamental skill in weapon crafting. If you couldn't even achieve that, you should probably switch to another skill.
She remembered that her second uncle was interested in weapon crafting, and it seemed that he had mastered it on his own. It seemed that she had found a way to improve her alchemy furnace.
Just as Wenwen was lost in her own thoughts, Wen Qiyuan had already stopped.
"Xiao Chuan, come and take a look."
The shout pulled Wenwen back from her thoughts, and she hurriedly went over.
Wen Qiyuan held a newly forged dagger in his hand. Although it wasn't particularly exquisite, one could definitely sense a trace of spiritual energy within it. Now, she could place her order for the alchemy furnace.
Wenwen planned to shower him with compliments first, and then place the order. Surely her second uncle wouldn't refuse that way. Her little scheme was always spot on.
"Wow, Second Uncle is amazing! You've really mastered the art of weapon crafting... Second Uncle, this dagger even has a trace of spiritual energy... It's really great."
Wen Qiyuan: "Hehe, Second Uncle is just making things up randomly, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously."
Wenwen: "Who says it can't be taken seriously? My second uncle's cooking skills are truly amazing."
Ye Jingchuan glanced at her and bluntly exposed her, "Just say it directly, say what you want, don't waste your time here."
Wenwen: "...Alright, I'll get straight to the point. Second Uncle, I want a pill furnace. Could you please make one for me? Uncle Ye knows the specific requirements, so I'll have him tell you."
Wen Qiyuan replied without hesitation, "Okay, Second Uncle will give it a try, but don't be too demanding. Second Uncle's skills aren't up to par yet."
"No way, you've already done a great job, Uncle, keep it up!"
After saying that, he ran off in a flash.
Wen Qiyuan and Ye Jingchuan watched her run away, shook their heads helplessly, and then the two fell into discussion again.
Wandering around here and there, a morning quickly passed.
The afternoon is the time for group meditation up the mountain. In principle, unless there is something urgent, the whole family should go.
Three days later, Wen Qiyuan handed Wen Wen a pill furnace. Although it looked rather ordinary, it contained a trace of spiritual energy, so it was indeed a genuine pill furnace.
Wenwen was overjoyed to receive the alchemy furnace and once again told her family that she was going into seclusion for a few days.
Since Wenwen decided she wanted to refine pills, before she reached the required cultivation level, she diligently studied the pill formulas in the pharmacopoeia while searching for medicinal herbs in the mountains. Fortunately, the space had a wide variety of medicinal herbs, and she was able to find the pills she wanted to refine.
Now that our cultivation has improved, we have all the medicinal herbs and medicines, and we have the alchemy furnace, everything is ready, so let's begin.
In the space, besides cultivation, she also refined pills. In the blink of an eye, a month passed, then two months. Wenwen refined several kinds of pills. In addition to Qi-inducing pills, Qi-returning pills, and Qi-condensing pills, which were needed in the early stages of Qi Refining, there were some others.
Looking at the pills displayed in the courtyard, Wenwen felt very satisfied. It was her first time using a proper alchemy furnace, and she wasn't very good at it. After many failures, she learned from her experience and kept refining until she finally succeeded. Now she is an alchemist.
The Qi-restoring pills and Qi-condensing pills used in the early stages of Qi Refining are a piece of cake for her now. Next time she comes in, she will start refining pills used in the middle stages of Qi Refining.
She's been in the space for over two months now, and proportionally, seven days have passed outside. The time she agreed upon with her grandfather has come, so it's time for her to go out.
When Wenwen returned to the cave, she instinctively activated her exploration skill to check on the neighboring cave. It was quite good; there was progress compared to before. Moreover, it seemed that there was more spiritual energy in the cave. It appeared that the spirit source stone had begun to integrate with the mountain. Everything was developing in a positive direction, and the momentum was good.
Sure enough, when she came out of the cave, her grandfather, father, and brothers were waiting for her in the pavilion.
This time, his younger sister wasn't waiting for him, but his younger brother was.
“Wen’er/Little sister, come out.”
"Sister, I miss you so much..." It's unbearable to watch a boy being so lovey-dovey. Wenwen shoved a handful of White Rabbit candies into his hands. "Let's go home."
After dinner, Wen Yuanqian said he had something to tell everyone.
After everyone gathered in the main room, Wen Yuanqian took out several jade boxes and several bottles of pills. Of course, these were given to him by Wenwen when they came down the mountain, and he was in charge of everything.
Wen Yuanqian used his object manipulation technique to place the jade box and pills in front of the female relatives in his family who had not yet successfully cultivated their Qi. Everyone received a share, including Uncle Wei and Aunt Yang.
The old man looked at everyone and said slowly, "I've given you the Spirit-Sounding Fruit and the Qi-Inducing Pill. Take them according to your own situation. If you feel confident, then take them. If you're not so confident, then wait a bit. Don't be too hasty, understand?"
Ren, Ye, Wei, and Wen Lanling were all delighted and readily accepted the offer, saying, "Thank you, Father, we understand."
Second sister Wenyi, third sister Wenqiong, fourth sister Wenhong, and Yao Suisui all clutched the jade box in their left hands and the pills in their right, saying, "Thank you, grandfather/maternal grandfather, we understand."
Only Wen Lanmin hesitated to take it, saying, "Father, wouldn't it be a waste to give it to me like this?"
Wenwen gave her a suggestion, "Aunt, you can try eating the Mingling Fruit and see if that works. If not, you can try the Qi-Inducing Pill later."
A slightly bewildered Uncle Wei and his wife also raised their hands to speak, "We two, this, this..."
Wenwen also offered advice, "Uncle and Aunt, you can take these for now. There are still more than ten days until the end of the month. As long as you persist in your cultivation and feel confident, then you can eat the fruits and pills. Just in case, right?"
Actually, she wasn't just making things up. Today's investigation revealed that her uncle and aunt also had spiritual energy around them. Clearly, with the spirit gathering array and the spirit source stone providing double benefits, everyone benefited. In particular, her uncle and aunt had caught a lucky break. Luck is something that can't be forced; sometimes it comes out of nowhere. Since it's here, let's seize it. What if it works out? Wouldn't that be wonderful for everyone?
Uncle Wei and his wife: "Yes, let's give it our all. We're not even in our seventies or eighties yet, and our memory is still pretty good. Let's give it our all!"
Wen Chengfeng promptly shouted slogans, "Go, Uncle! Go, Aunt!"
"Go! Go! Go!" The room was filled with cheers and encouragement.
The atmosphere had been built up to this point, it would be really inappropriate not to shout.
