Lin Yao felt that the black aura was somewhat familiar. When he focused his mind on it, he gradually felt his body change and felt a sense of resonance. His whole body became excited.
Lin Yao knew this was not excitement he could control, so he slowed down the hand seals and focused more on examining his body. To his surprise, he found that his previously weak source witch power was now reacting.
These primordial magical powers were almost completely integrated into every part of Lin Yao's body. The method he adopted was, of course, to actively seek out battles with the elders of the Yi family and suffer beatings and tortures. He barely managed to absorb these primordial magical powers after enduring great suffering. Normally, he could only mobilize a small amount of them with great difficulty, and both the efficiency and speed were very low.
Now, to everyone's surprise, the primordial magical power has become more active than ever before, exciting all parts of the body. This must be due to the faint black aura in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Lin Yao immediately made a judgment, identifying this black aura as the magical power that roams freely in the world.
Witchcraft is an extremely mysterious and complex system. Lin Yao learned about it in detail from Le and also consulted numerous materials and classic texts. This mysterious system of abilities is completely different from other systems such as internal energy cultivation, Taoist practices, or even the legendary Western magic and wizarding systems, as well as the Indian Buddhist system.
Chinese shamans, or more specifically, Miao shamans, believe in heaven and earth. There are no gods above all else. Even when they worship the great god Chiyou, it is only because of Chiyou's status as an ancient great shaman. What they truly worship is the vast and extensive existence of heaven, earth, and the universe, not any particular deity.
Piety and prayer are the most basic methods of Miao shamans. They worship heaven and earth, plants and living beings, and even devoutly worship the blood and organs of animals to invoke their mysterious powers and abilities to achieve their goals. This is the method used by Miao shamans.
Lin Yao, who was distracted by two things at once, was not only trying to sense the witch power, but also trying to figure out the system and truth of Miao witchcraft. This was very tiring for him, and the control of the pseudo-fire in the alchemy furnace was also affected, and the bright liquid also lost its luster.
Pray? Then I'll pray to this magical power and see if there's any reaction.
Lin Yao quickly made a decision. Apart from the hand seals he was using to control the alchemy and the pseudo-alchemy fire, all his attention was focused on sensing and worshipping the invisible and intangible free-floating witch power around him.
Piety is the kind of focused mind that comes with meditation, where you don't think about anything else and just concentrate on the free-flowing magical power itself.
Faith is the unwavering belief that these magical powers are the highest existence in the world, unmatched by anything else; it is belief, certainty, and certainty!
Lin Yao used his own understanding to comprehend these magical powers and was pleasantly surprised to find that they were effective. The original magical power in his body became more active, but it did not continue to affect his body tissues. Instead, it was a pure activity that no longer controlled his muscles, blood, etc., to cause abnormal reactions.
The free-floating magical energy around him also responded, and Lin Yao's perception of them became clearer. He could even slightly control their state.
Gathering, constantly gathering.
While controlling the hand seals to refine the pill, Lin Yao gathered the free-floating magical power. Time passed second by second, and when Lin Yao's whole body was soaked in sweat, the pill refining was coming to an end. The amount of free-floating magical power gathered had also increased, and in Lin Yao's perception, it had become a magical power ball the size of a football.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth had saturated the elixir, and the elixir had long been successfully refined. After absorbing the saturated spiritual energy, it was time to collect the elixir.
But what about the gathered magical power? Lin Yao was at a loss for what to do. He sensed that his alchemy technique had a controlling effect on these wandering magical powers. It was precisely because of this technique and hand seals that the magical power was guided and gathered together. Once the alchemy was finished, this magical power would simply continue to dissipate and would be nowhere to be found.
Let's give it our all! Who cares if it succeeds or not!
Lin Yao, in a fit of rage, sent the free-floating magical power directly into the elixir in the alchemy furnace. To his surprise, the bright elixir absorbed the magical power like a sponge, leaving nothing behind.
Collect the elixir!
Lin Yao used the pill-gathering technique to form the hand seals, feeling somewhat uneasy. He wondered what effect this pill, mixed with witch power, would have, and whether he would simply waste this batch of super "life-giving pills".
Although the raw materials were only worth about four million, even if they were wasted, it wouldn't be a major blow to Min Hong at the moment. However, he was currently lacking "Life-Giving Pills" and couldn't give up his international money-making business. If he ruined this batch of pills and had to refine them again, he would waste even more pseudo-elixir fire, which would contradict his previous plan and affect his principle of protecting Xiaocao.
With this thought swirling in his mind, he didn't relax his control over the mental techniques and hand seals. The pill-collecting process proceeded very smoothly, and soon about twenty-seven small, still glowing green bean-sized pills flew towards Lin Yao's hands as he held the last hand seal.
Collect the pills and bottle them. Lin Yao quickly filled three small jade bottles with nine pills in each bottle. While collecting and bottling the pills, he manipulated the true energy in his palms to envelop them, preventing the "Life-Giving Pills" from melting due to the sweat on his palms.
The "Life-Giving Pill" is insoluble in water and solvents such as alcohol, but it melts instantly in the mouth. Lin Yao wasn't sure if the pill, infused with witchcraft, would dissolve in his sweat, and he couldn't risk it. At this moment, he somewhat missed the little grass's ability. Back then, as soon as he collected the pills, the little grass would directly pull them into his body—convenient, quick, and safe.
With a heavy sigh, Lin Yao completed the first batch of pills, which was also the most important batch.
Sensing the still abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Lin Yao felt a little regretful. The elixir had already absorbed enough spiritual energy during the alchemy process, so this energy was naturally redundant and would soon dissipate back into nature. The next batch of elixir would have to be gathered again using mental techniques and hand seals, which was both troublesome and wasteful.
As Lin Yao was thinking about these things, he suddenly sensed a surge of black magical power. He immediately focused his mind and tried to draw this free magical power into his body.
Slowly, the free-floating witch power gradually approached Lin Yao's body. When it reached a close enough distance of twenty centimeters, it suddenly accelerated, rushed into his body, and quickly disappeared, as if it had merged with his original witch power and integrated into his body's skin, blood, bones, and flesh.
efficient!!!
Lin Yao immediately focused his mind to sense the other free magical power and controlled it to draw it into his body one by one. After finishing the alchemy technique and hand seals, the total amount of free magical power that Lin Yao had not had time to gather and send into the elixir was limited, and it was soon absorbed by Lin Yao.
I can now cultivate my magical powers!
Lin Yao wanted to shout out loud, so he stood up and did a backflip to release his excitement.
[Important Notice] Perhaps it's because my abilities are too inadequate that I'm in a passive position; the female lead hasn't appeared in this book yet.
First of all, it's wrong not to have a female lead; it's really unacceptable for an urban novel to not have romance.
Secondly, I've never had any ideas about harem or harem stories, but it's been such a failure. None of the female characters I've depicted are liked or accepted by the audience. I keep writing, but everyone keeps abandoning my work. I'm really at my wit's end! So I'll leave the decision to you all. Please vote for me.
All I can say is that all the female characters in this book have real-life counterparts. They are not brainless women; each has their own personality and way of doing things, influenced by their background, education, and experiences, and their thoughts are all different. I've been trying my best to write realistically, so why doesn't everyone like it? Do we really have to create those seemingly opinionated but actually brainless and unrealistic female characters popular on Qidian?
The voting will be conducted in three phases. Please provide your opinions for my reference. Once the draft is finalized, I will definitely write the female lead well to avoid the protagonist remaining a bachelor forever. That would be too cruel and shouldn't happen. After all, this is not a cultivation novel, and procreation is the responsibility of humankind.
The first two rounds of voting involve selecting several female characters in chronological order of appearance: Ling Ruonan, Shang Lin, Xia Yuwen, Lan Xiaoqing, Ruan Lingling, and Dika MM. Voting will be conducted in two rounds, each lasting one week or five days. If you do not wish for a particular woman to be the female lead, please do not vote for her.
The third poll will decide whether the protagonist has one or two lovers, and I'm quite conflicted about this. I was initially very opposed to this type of plot and was convinced of a single female lead, but now it seems I can't let my own wishes be the sole basis for my decision. Some female characters have been given a lot of development and their stories are quite extensive, so perhaps people will be more accepting of them once the relevant details are revealed in later plot developments. Of course, this third poll is just a reference; I personally still prefer a single female lead. Please vote carefully, thank you!
It's a real failure. Why isn't there a single woman that everyone can accept? Whenever a woman is criticized, I choose to downplay her, reduce her appearances, and remove many of the planned plot points. For example, Ruan Lingling and Dika MM are examples of this. These two characters were originally intended as replacements for Pink Girl as the female lead, but I didn't expect that people still wouldn't like them.
So, I'm torn...
