Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As soon as he finished speaking.

Ding!

After a crisp sound, Xu Bai felt his vision blur. Then, he saw an arrow that only he could see pointing at the Wishful Infinite Furnace in his hand.

At the same time.

The system notification sounded.

Ding!

[Detected that the player is refining pills for the first time.]

[Beginner’s guide mode began.

[Please follow the system’s guidance and complete your first pill refinement.] This guide is the final guide and will not appear again.

The system sent a message. “You’re no longer a novice. It’s time for you to rely on yourself.”

Xu Bai nodded with a serious expression.

“Okay, I’ll definitely do it next time!”

Xu Bai did not know if it was his imagination, but he felt that after he said this, the system interface seemed to flicker.

But soon, the system interface returned to normal.

Xu Bai blinked and looked at the top right corner of the countdown after the notification disappeared. He quickly came back to his senses and followed the system’s guidance. He first moved the tables and chairs in the living room, cleared out a suitable space, and placed the Wishful Infinite Furnace on the floor.

After the Wishful Infinite Furnace landed and obtained Xu Bai’s permission, it expanded from its original small size to the size of a normal alchemy furnace in almost a breath’s time.

Then, Xu Bai looked up at the interface that popped up from the Wishful Infinite Furnace.

There was a dazzling array of medicinal pills.

However, because of the system’s guidance, Xu Bai could not slide down to see how many pills there were. He could only tacitly choose the Essence Replenishing Pill that was ranked first on the interface.

The next second.

The number of medicinal herbs needed to refine the Essence Replenishing Pill replaced the main page and appeared in Xu Bai’s eyes.

Following the instructions, Xu Bai turned around and threw all the medicinal herbs on the coffee table into the opening of the Wishful Infinite Furnace.

As the medicinal ingredients were introduced, the interface that required ingredients to refine the Essence Replenishing Pill quickly turned from red to green.

All that was missing was the Dragon Heart Herb.

Xu Bai opened the wooden box containing the Dragon Heart Herb and took out the Dragon Heart Herb in the wooden box. Then, he threw it into the Wishful Infinite Furnace.

Almost the moment he threw it in and the interface turned green, the mouth of the Wishful Infinite Furnace instantly closed. Then, it turned to another interface.

[Refining Essence Replenishing Pills]

[Simple Mode Success Rate: 100% (Basic +50%, Cultivation Technique +20%, Pill furnace +30%)]

[Estimated profits: One ninth-grade medicinal pill, two eighth-grade medicinal pills.]

[Intermediate Mode Success Rate: 80% (Basic +30%, Cultivation Technique

+20%, Pill furnace +30%)]

[Estimated benefits: one tenth-grade medicinal pill, one ninth-grade medicinal pill, one eighth-grade medicinal pill.]

[Failure Reward: “One sixth-grade medicinal pill.”]

[Hard Mode Success Rate: 50% (Basic +10%, Cultivation Technique +20%, Pill furnace +30%)]

[Estimated profits: “Three tenth-grade medicinal pills.”]

[Gains from failure: None]

Select.

Xu Bai looked at the interface that popped up and raised his eyebrows.

Why wasn’t there a tenth-grade medicinal effect in the simple mode?

The system did not reply.

Xu Bai touched his chin and looked at the three options in front of him.

He definitely wanted the Essence Replenishing Pill with the tenth-grade of medicinal effects. He would definitely not consider anything else.

It would have been fine if he didn’t have the option to choose the tenth-grade. Now that he did, why didn’t he choose the tenth-grade?

As for the success rate?

Huh!

The corners of Xu Bai’s mouth curled up slightly. Then, without hesitation, he chose the difficult mode with a 50% success rate.

Ding!

[Player currently chose Hard Mode, and there is a 50% chance that the refining would fail.]

[Confirm/Cancel!]

[Note: “There are only zero and countless times of gambling. You can win countless times, but in the casino, you only need to win once. Refuse to gamble and refuse to poison. Start with me!”]

“That’s it. Misery!”

Xu Bai was unmoved. He pressed the confirmation button for Hard Mode and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. “Dear Miss System, you don’t want me to fail the mission, do you?”

He suddenly remembered something that he had obtained from the system when he was young.

That was when he was very young and was at the stage where he thought that the system was possessed by a ghost.

At that time, the system also had a guidance mission to guide Xu Bai to familiarize himself with the various interfaces of the system.

Xu Bai remembered that there was once when the system asked him to open a dart in the props bar and try to attack the big yellow chicken locked in a cage in the market.

He did so.

And then…

Xu Bai lost his cool.

Just as Xu Bai was about to pick up the darts, his backpack opened automatically. Then, Xu Bai was surprised to find a dart lying quietly inside.

At that time, Xu Bai didn’t really understand.

Now that he thought about it, Xu Bai, who had played many games and was already knowledgeable, had another explanation for the guidance mission.

Guidance quests were actually similar to plot kills.

If the plot kill was the game that wanted you dead, then the guide mission had to be successful in the game’s system settings. If he didn’t succeed once, he would try again.

Until he succeeded.

This was why Xu Bai had tricked the system into giving him a pill refinement guidance mission before refining pills.

As long as he entered the guidance mode, huh?

Not to mention a 50% success rate, even if the success rate was only 1%, Xu Bai would press it without hesitation.

The system instantly shut down.

The corners of Xu Bai’s mouth curled up. He had no doubt that if this system was just a little smarter, it would definitely be spouting rubbish at him at this moment.

After a long while.

The interface that seemed to be stuck at once finally changed.

Ding!

[In the midst of refining.]

[Estimated completion time: 600 minutes]

[Note: “During the refining process, please pay attention to the system notifications and operate according to the system’s requirements. If the specified time cannot be operated, the time will automatically reset!!!”]

Xu Bai looked at the interface that popped up and the words in the remarks. For some reason, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Hiss!

Dog system, you’re using your position to avenge your personal grudge!

As Xu Bai cursed, he looked at the 30-second operating procedure that had already been ejected. He immediately got busy.

Soon.

Twelve hours passed.

The sky outside also broke free from the embrace of the night goddess and plunged into the embrace of the sun maiden.

The big yellow chicken on Old Factory Street had already started to coo three hours ago to welcome the customers who came to buy him.

In the room.

Xu Bai’s face was pale. He lay on the floor, unwilling to move.

The Wishful Infinite Furnace placed at the side had already turned off. However, it was still warm enough to warm Xu Bai.

It prevented Xu Bai from catching a cold from lying on the floor for too long.

Xu Bai, who was lying on the floor, gradually came back to his senses. Then, he stretched out his right hand, and with a swoosh, an unmarked bottle of a small red medicinal pill appeared in his hand.

Xu Bai took advantage of the feeling that his body had been sucked dry and forced himself to get up from the floor. Leaning against the pill furnace that was still emitting heat behind him, he used his trembling left hand to pull away the small red medicine in the shape of a can on his right hand. Then, he put it to his mouth and drank it.

As the little red medicine entered his body, the Nine Revolutions Internal Breath that had stopped spinning in his dantian seemed to have been activated again. It was like an old machine that had stopped operating and started spinning again.

Xu Bai took out two bottles of red medicine. He opened them in unison and poured them into his mouth.

After drinking the three bottles of red medicine, Xu Bai felt alive.

Xu Bai threw the can into the trash can at the side and got up from the floor. “Not everyone can refine this Essence Replenishing Pill.”

He finally understood why it was said that almost no one could refine the Essence Replenishing Pill.

Xu Bai did not even want to experience the difficulty of this refinement a second time.

He had been busy from nine o’clock last night until eight o’clock the next day. He had almost never stopped. If he did not infuse his Internal Breath according to the system’s prompt, he would add water and wood.

Thank goodness.

He did not give the system a chance to reset the refining time.

Xu Bai thought to himself. He stood where he was and stretched his limbs. After stretching his body, he quickly walked to the side of the Wishful Infinite Furnace. He opened the top of the furnace and took out three pigeon-egg-sized pills that emitted a dark golden color and a rich medicinal fragrance.

Was it that big?

[Pill Name: “Essence Replenishing Pill.”]

[Quality: Red]

[Effect: It can repair the foundation of those whose foundation is damaged.]

[Special Effect: 100% essence replenishment, 10-realm Foundation Establishment!]

[Note: “It has another name in another world. It’s called the Foundation

Establishment Pill!”]

Foundation Establishment Pill?

Was this it?

Xu Bai looked at the name in the note and could not help but open his mouth.

He had never seen Foundation Establishment Pills before, but he had been obsessed with them when he played games. Among them, Foundation Establishment Pills had the highest chance of appearing on screen.

Some of them were even more exaggerated. A Foundation Establishment Pill could allow an ordinary person who had never cultivated to directly advance to the Foundation Establishment realm.

Furthermore…

And it was the Perfect Foundation Establishment Stage!

Hiss!

Would Mengmeng face any problems with this?

Xu Bai’s thoughts spun as he suddenly thought of this problem.

Yes.

Su Meng.

Xu Bai did not need the Essence Replenishing Pill. He only chose to refine it to complete the system’s mission.

However, he had to admit that the main reason why he had tricked the system into creating a guidance mode was that he did not want the refinement to fail.

After all, there seemed to be only one Dragon Heart Herb.

If he did not have the guidance system and did it himself, what if the thing was destroyed? Where could he find a second Dragon Heart Herb?

Secondly, there was another reason, which was Su Meng.
