Chapter 694: Chapter 2 Soul-forgiving Golden Soup Chapter 694: Chapter 2 Soul-forgiving Golden Soup (Important Change: The previous section about the evolution of the Gu Huo Bird into the Nine Infants has been updated to the evolution of the Gu Huo Bird into the Divine Maiden Qi, please be informed.)

Soul-forgiving Golden Soup Recipe: A holy-grade medicinal broth recorded in the Life Preserving Medical Classic, which comes in forms for both external soaking and internal consumption, imposing extremely strict requirements on related medical utensils.

The internal consumption Golden Soup can eliminate plague, prolong life, and unearth natural talents. One serving requires one jin of Soul-forgiving Water.

The external soaking Golden Soup can regenerate severed limbs, warm and nurture the soul, and has a certain chance to unearth natural talents. One serving requires two liang of Soul-forgiving Water.

Ingredients needed are Hundred-Year Gnome Ginseng, Qiujiao resin, Thunderstruck Willow Sprouts, licorice, bupleurum, Southern Dried Pears, Magnolia Seeds, lotus leaves, Starlet Fish…

Ruling Ingredients: Soul-forgiving Water

Note: The ruling ingredient is an essential main material in the recipe that cannot be omitted, and it determines the medicinal properties and effects of the recipe. All medical recipes in the Life Preserving Medical Classic require obtaining the corresponding ruling ingredient as a prerequisite to grasping the related recipe.

Li Yan opened the auction house to search and found that except for the Soul-forgiving Water, only the Hundred-Year Gnome Ginseng and Qiujiao resin were a bit more expensive. Together, one Hundred-Year Gnome Ginseng and half a jin of Qiujiao resin amounted to around six hundred points; the other ingredients were quite common. They could all be purchased for under ten points each, and these prices were sufficient to craft a serving of either the internal or external soaking Soul-Capturing Golden Soup. Only the required amount of Soul-forgiving Water varied.

The effect of the internal consumption Golden Soup was something Li Yan couldn’t enjoy for the time being, as his Soul-forgiving Water was nearly exhausted in the battle against Muni. Gathering one jin of Soul-forgiving Water would take Li Yan about ten days or so.

As for the external soaking Golden Soup, two liang of Soul-forgiving Water, roughly the amount of a small bottle of Red Star Wine, Li Yan could muster it with some effort.

Moreover, the medical utensils necessary for concocting and using the Soul-Capturing Golden Soup would cost around two thousand when finished. However, Li Yan had expertise in Magic Motion Technology. He had seen the forging plans for those medical utensils in the auction house and figured he could buy semi-finished products, modify the relevant utensils with magic, and reduce the cost to under one thousand.

The reason for such careful budgeting was that Li Yan had plans to mass-produce related medical utensils and the Soul-forgiving Golden Soup. Whether to generate income by listing them in the auction house or to provide them for the use of the Red Flag Gang members in the South Seas, it was a very worthwhile deal.

No sooner said than done, Li Yan collected many semi-finished products from the auction house, retrofitting and assembling them, and after failing once midway, he finally succeeded in cobbling together a peculiar-looking glass bathtub.

About two meters in length, a person could enter the bathtub with only their neck and head above it. At the bottom of the bathtub, there was a layer to adjust temperature and an electric stove; red, yellow, and green light sockets indicated respectively: operation and standby, medicament admixing and repair, and completion of repairs.

The whole bathtub looked like a prop from a third-rate comedy, something you’d find in the home of a mad scientist character.

ly50 (The original design was based on the Luo Bing Shen 2 Fruit by-product k50 Carbon-Based Biocultivation Electric Trough, ly50 is the name the modifier gave to himself.)

Category: Medical Equipment

Quality: Ordinary

After being supplied with the appropriate medication, it can repair any limb injuries, excluding the head.

Note 1: Since the bottom furnace part of the device for supplying medicinal liquids had been violently disassembled and modified, the precise composition of the medicinal liquids in this electric trough is unknown, known only to the modifier.

Note 2: Since the bottom furnace part of the device for supplying medicinal liquids had been violently disassembled and modified, this device carries a certain risk of explosion.

Despite the ostentatious design and horrendous aesthetic, would he not dare to use the bathtub he built himself?

Having prepared the medicinal ingredients in the electric stove, Li Yan didn’t hesitate, pressed the start button himself, and soaked in it.

Gurgle gurgle…

The medicinal water bubbled, and the light socket changed from red to yellow as the external soaking Golden Soup began to fill and immerse Li Yan’s body.

An hour later, the light socket changed from yellow to green, indicating that repairs were complete.

Only then did Li Yan open his eyes, and the bathtub suddenly erupted in a violent explosion!

After a shower of sparks and debris flew in all directions, Li Yan leapt down from the base that was billowing black smoke, his pupils revealing the lively true forms of Wu Zhiqi and the Gu Huo Bird. He flexed his newly regenerated right arm, his face beaming red as he said, “Not bad, looks promising!”

Even though the bath tub had been blown up, the cost of miscellaneous herbs and the cost of failure included, it only cost Li Yan two thousand Yan Fu points to effectively heal his arm.

As long as he could rectify the potentially explosive side effect, Li Yan was confident he could reduce the cost of a single mechanical bath tub to nine hundred points each.

Mainly, it was because the k50 carbon-based biocultivation electric trough, a key component in Li Yan’s major magic modifications, was really cheap, costing only five hundred points each.

Since the electric trough’s function to repair severed limbs was perfectly superseded by the innate healing abilities of the returned Yan Fu, its target audience was only limited to a portion of walking relatives and it was closely monitored by the Yan Zhao Club. Its technology was not allowed to circulate within Heaven Jiazi Nine, so the price per unit was very low. Those sentient beings who fished these electric troughs from the fruits almost gave them no second glance and sold them directly to the auction houses.

Having healed his own injury, Li Yan sent a text message to all the Comrades involved in the incident, the content was: “Muni left behind quite a few treasures before he died. Let’s set a time to divide the stuff.” In addition, he attached the items and textual information provided by Earth Endurance.

Li Yan had no intention of keeping all the benefits from Muni’s body to himself, especially the Fierce Life Essence. If Li Yan hoarded it, it would be somewhat unfair to his friends. Being open and honest was best for everyone.

Zhao Jianzhong was the first to reply to the message, “You guys go ahead, I won’t participate.”

Ren Ni: “I worship the big shot. I’m free anytime, you decide.”

Wan Die: “Mm-hm, I’m free.” Plus an emoji with a thumbs up.

Yu Shiqie: “Read.”

Yang Zheng: “Got it. You guys set the time.”

Zhao Xin: “I have an exam next Friday, how about the weekend?”

Mo: “Kissies.” Followed by an emoji frenziedly licking the screen.

Jin Ye: “I wasn’t much help, better not. Thanks for your kindness.”

Li Yan messaged the others: “Then let’s do next Sunday, I’ll send you the location later.”

He sent a special message to Jin Ye: “Come over. I have something I’d like your help with. Next Sunday.”

It took a while, but Jin Ye finally replied: “Alright, it’s a date.”

…

Li Yan thought of starting a conversation with Cha Xiaodao, but to his surprise, she had set her status to reject all messages.

Only one message was left: “In closed-door cultivation, do not disturb.”

PS (to Dayan): When you have time, go to the restaurant and give Zhou her salary, four thousand five. If she asks for five thousand, don’t give it to her. She mixed up the water last month and killed several of my grouper fish. I’ll come find you when I emerge from seclusion.

Li Yan couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Looks like Xiaodao was still pretty stable, so he didn’t need to worry about her.

Afterward, Li Yan browsed the news about the Chu Region Divine System.

Although Li Yan could now take out a loan to buy the complete Great Fate Official heritage, the subsequent requirement to fully strengthen the Great Fate Official was about 300% in Awakening Degree, and this wasn’t guaranteed to add much to Li Yan’s combat power, yet it would consume a vast amount of resources.

The pressing matter at hand for Li Yan was to invest more resources into collecting parts for the Yan Fu inheritances of the Gu Huo Bird, Wu Zhiqi, and Yun Zhongjun. He aimed to meet the first-stage requirements of the Divine Court first.
