After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 88 Trace Elements

After the Zhan Family left, Shi Yaoguang also pondered the possibility of mass-producing the medicine.

Based on what Zhan Miao said, the condition afflicting the elder was common among many soldiers affected by the ravages of war.

These were the medals accumulated by the warriors.

At the same time, they were also torments.

If the ointment could be mass-produced, it would relieve some of the pain, to some degree.

Quan Jinbei saw her intentions and offered his opinion, "If it can be mass-produced according to the prescription, you could hand over the prescription to the state. This way, you wouldn’t have to work too hard and worry so much. If there are any special ingredients needed, you might have to get them yourself."

"Handing over the prescription isn’t an issue, the main thing is the trace elements it contains."

Quan Jinbei’s eyes narrowed slightly, "What kind of trace elements?"

"Hmm..." Shi Yaoguang thought for a moment before replying, "Spiritual Power."

"Spiritual Power?" Quan Jinbei pondered for a moment and said, "The Spiritual Power you mentioned, is it related to cultivation?"

"Yes."

Shi Yaoguang briefly explained the situation. "The ingredients required for the prescription, aside from being a bit precious, are quite common. It’s mainly about the trace elements contained in the ingredients.

Only when a bit of Spiritual Power is added during the making of the medicine can the medicinal effects be greatly enhanced."

"And if there’s no Spiritual Power, what will the medicinal effect be like?"

"The effectiveness will be reduced by seven to eight parts," Shi Yaoguang said, frowning, "The required herbs for the medicine are not cheap, so if the ointment made with rare ingredients only offers mediocre effects, it wouldn’t be worth it."

Quan Jinbei came up with an idea, "Why not first mass-produce the ointment without Spiritual Power, and then have you and I infuse it with Spiritual Power at the end? Do you think that could work?"

"That could work, but..." Shi Yaoguang playfully looked at him, "Doesn’t Third Master think that’s a bit beneath you?" A patriarch stooping to participate in medicine making?

"What’s beneath me about that? I’d be more than willing to help if I can."

Shi Yaoguang thought for a moment and nodded, "All right, let’s do that. Once you’ve got the basics of cultivation down, we’ll make the first batch of medicine. Afterwards, I’ll find a way to address the lack of Spiritual Power."

Upon hearing this, Quan Jinbei suddenly thought of a question, "Does our world have Spiritual Power?"

"It does," Shi Yaoguang stretched out her hand, indicating a tiny gap just slightly larger than a peanut, "Just a tiny bit like this."

Quan Jinbei: "..."

Speaking of this, Shi Yaoguang also felt troubled, "If this weren’t The Last Law World, I could come up with a way to get those with aptitude into cultivation. But in the Age of Dharma Decline, there is only so little Spiritual Power that it’s simply not enough to go around."

"So I..." Quan Jinbei felt it was necessary to remind her of his own situation.

Shi Yaoguang glanced at him meaningfully, "Didn’t I tell you that you have two choices?"

Quan Jinbei nodded.

Shi Yaoguang continued, "The simple mode I mentioned involves using the Spiritual Power in the air for cultivation. However, since the Spiritual Power is exceedingly sparse, even if you cultivate, you cannot achieve true success."

Quan Jinbei understood, and then asked, "From what you’re saying, I don’t need to use Spiritual Power, and there are other methods for cultivation?"

"Yes."

Shi Yaoguang clicked her tongue lightly, "That’s exactly what I was going to tell you."

"What I’m cultivating now is a technique I created called the Star Refining Body Technique, which utilizes Starforce."

"In the Age of Dharma Decline, Spiritual Power may be weak, but Starforce has been eternal. Aside from Heavenly Dao deliberately throwing obstacles in my way, it wouldn’t be too difficult for me to cultivate."

Quan Jinbei didn’t ask why she said that the Heavenly Dao might deliberately throw obstacles, as he was more concerned about his own cultivation options, "Should I also cultivate with Starforce?"

"Nope."

Shi Yaoguang said, revealing a mischievous smile, "Starforce isn’t suitable for you."

"Then I..." Quan Jinbei hesitated, venturing a guess, "It wouldn’t be sunbathing, would it?"

Shi Yaoguang snapped her fingers, "Bingo! That’s correct."

Quan Jinbei: "..."

Had he not experienced it himself, if someone ran up to him claiming that one could cultivate with sunlight, he would have considered them insane.

However, now...

All right, he was a bumpkin.

At that thought, he couldn’t help feeling a bit melancholic.

Shi Yaoguang, of course, had no idea what he was thinking. After chatting briefly, she started to quiz him on his learning progress.

Quan Jinbei pursed his lips, "I have finished reading the techniques you gave me."

Shi Yaoguang blinked her large eyes, "What do you mean you finished reading them?"

"I... understood them."

Quan Jinbei mentioned this with a rare hint of embarrassment.

Shi Yaoguang: "!!"

"You mean to say, apart from the one hundred characters I taught you this morning, you’ve also learned the rest?"

So shocked she was hesitant, her tone trembled slightly.

Quan Jinbei innocently nodded, "It’s probably a matter of once you’ve learned one, you’ve learned them all."

Shi Yaoguang rolled her eyes, unable to hide her speechless expression.

Once you’ve learned one, you’ve learned them all, my ass.

The script of the Cultivation World had no resemblance whatsoever to the Chinese characters of this world; it was impossible to recognize these characters just by their appearance.

No amount of incredulity could mask the fact of Quan Jinbei’s exceptional talent.

She had originally planned to teach him slowly, but since he had learned on his own, it was time to advance the teaching schedule.

Just as she was thinking this, Quan Jinbei hesitantly asked, "I have finished reading the techniques you gave me, but I didn’t feel anything..."

He was beginning to doubt if he was a cultivation dud.

Shi Yaoguang: "...I forgot to tell you, the technique I gave you was deliberately copied out for you to learn reading."

Quan Jinbei: "..."

Having said that, Shi Yaoguang took him up to the third floor.

They entered the open-air training room, and she signaled for Quan Jinbei to close his eyes.

Quan Jinbei did as told without any reservation, and then Shi Yaoguang took out the real techniques and directly poured them into his sea of consciousness.

"Next, do as I say..."

Quan Jinbei’s consciousness was instantly captivated by the glowing golden characters...

...

In the pursuit of cultivation, years mean nothing. After teaching a full cycle, night had faded away, and the first light of dawn was spreading across the sky.

Quan Jinbei opened his eyes and saw the girl covered in a faint moonlight sitting with her eyes closed, in a meditative posture.

He looked down and noticed he was in the same position.

The moment he opened his eyes, Shi Yaoguang could tell he had come to.

After circulating her energy for one last cycle, she opened her eyes.

"You’ve now learned the basic methods of cultivation. If you have any problems with your practice in the future, just ask me."

The first question Quan Jinbei asked was direct, "Does the Nirvana Heavenly Fire Technique I’m practicing have anything to do with the Phoenix?"

Shi Yaoguang looked troubled, "If you can find a Phoenix in this world."

Quan Jinbei: "..."

All right, it was a stupid question on his part.

Shi Yaoguang stood up, patted his shoulder, and spoke earnestly, "The path of cultivation is long and arduous. You must work hard, Third Master, and not slack off."
