He had accumulated some anger points during this time, and that was all he spent on this one Marrow Cleansing Pill. He couldn't afford a second one.
Emotionally, he intended to give the Marrow Cleansing Pill to Xiao Zhao, after all, she had the lowest aptitude and was the first source of warmth he encountered in this world.
But rationally, she understood that if Xiao Zhao ate this Marrow Cleansing Pill, it would only turn her mediocre talent into that of an ordinary person, and she would just become another nobody.
Conversely, if given to someone who already possesses excellent aptitude, it can elevate their aptitude to an even higher level, resulting in better outcomes.
Just as I was having a headache, a thought suddenly struck me. I remembered the food system that the "Baopu Zhenjing" had unlocked in the secret realm last time. As long as I knew the recipe and had tasted a certain dish, I could recreate the original recipe and make the food again.
I just don't know if this Marrow Cleansing Pill counts as food...
Zuan hesitated, since this thing had no effect on him after he ate it. If the gourmet system couldn't work, then he would have wasted a marrow cleansing pill.
But considering that there are so many close female friends, and each of them needs the Marrow Cleansing Pill, even if one is left, it won't be enough to go around.
He gritted his teeth, picked some out with his fingernail, and put it in his mouth.
Suddenly, he felt a strange sensation bloom on the tip of his tongue. Then, it was as if a black screen with green data was flowing through his brain, like in The Matrix. Immediately afterwards, the food system began to alert him:
"Insufficient samples to support further analysis. Please add more samples."
Zuan's eyes lit up; there was hope!
So he simply put the remaining Marrow Cleansing Pills into his mouth. He didn't even dare to swallow them. Instead, he slowly let them spread in his mouth, trying his best to taste them so that the food system could analyze their ingredients as much as possible.
After a while, a line of subtitles appeared in the air before his eyes:
"The Marrow Cleansing Pill is a rare elixir in the cultivation world used to improve aptitude. Its ingredients are Azure Flame Brain, Void Cicada Leaf, and Demonic Light Sand. It also requires an artifact from a wise beast as the main ingredient, such as the horn of a Bai Ze or the inner core of a Sphinx..."
Zuan was overjoyed. This food system not only analyzed its ingredients but also detailed the preparation method. This meant that as long as he had enough materials, he could now refine as many Marrow Cleansing Pills as he wanted without having to worry about the limitation of his anger value.
When he first heard that the new system he had finally unlocked was related to food, he was quite unhappy, thinking that since he couldn't cook, the system would be useless. Now he realizes he was wrong; the system is truly a godsend.
At the same time, he was also somewhat puzzled about what kind of existence this system he had obtained actually was.
When he was still weak, he was overjoyed to get this system. After all, he had read so many novels in his previous life, and it was so common for the protagonist to have a system with him that he didn't even bother to think about it.
But as he grew stronger and stronger, reaching almost the pinnacle of combat power in the world, he began to re-evaluate the system.
He has accumulated experience from two lifetimes, and in this world he has visited countless mysterious realms and witnessed too many powerful beings beyond his comprehension. He can be considered very knowledgeable, but he still cannot understand this system at all.
I don't know its underlying principles, whether it actually exists as a physical entity, or how it achieves so many amazing functions.
What kind of being could create this keyboard system?
He must be very handsome...
He pondered for a long time, but unfortunately he still couldn't come up with any clues, so he could only keep these doubts to himself for the time being.
He then turned his attention to the ingredients for refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill: Azure Flame Brain, Empty Cicada Leaf, and Demonic Light Sand. It seemed like he was seeing these for the first time. In addition, the items from the intelligent beast required for the main ingredient were probably a bit difficult to obtain.
Bai Ze himself had heard of it; it appeared in myths from his previous life. It could communicate with all things in the world, recognize the appearance of all living beings, know the names of all ghosts and monsters and how to subdue them, and was a treasure from head to toe, possessing the miraculous ability to bring people back to life.
Therefore, it has been a symbol of good fortune since ancient times.
Legend has it that its head and four paws resemble a lion's, it has a single horn on its forehead, and a ring of white fur around its neck like a lion's mane. Its tail is shaped like a fox's tail, fluffy and very bushy. Most of Bai Ze's body is white, with its back, limbs, and tail tip being dark gray…
Zaun was a bit stumped; where was he supposed to find such a mythical creature?
The Sphinx is an old acquaintance, a creature from ancient Egyptian mythology, and the world-famous Sphinx of the Egyptian pyramids is modeled after it.
Speaking of the last time in the secret realm, I heard Zhao Hao and the others talking about it. They said that what they encountered was the Sphinx, and it was a projection that was outside of countless spaces.
Wait a minute, why do the Chinese mythical creature Bai Ze and the Egyptian sphinx look somewhat similar? They both resemble lions. Could they be the same creature, just different names in different places?
Regardless of whether they are the same species, they are extremely rare, and no one knows where to find them.
Sigh, I was thinking of refining more Marrow Cleansing Pills, but now it seems like it's easier to refine pills or buy them with anger points.
He was in a bind and left the house to head towards Shenxuzi's cave halfway up the mountain. After all, in the entire capital, if it came to knowledge related to alchemy, probably no one knew more than him, and he probably knew a lot of the materials.
When he arrived, Shen Xuzi was vividly teaching Sang Qian some advanced aspects of mechanical puppetry.
Sang Qian's eyes lit up when she saw him. Although the teacher's lessons were very interesting, she was still a little uneasy about being separated from Brother Zu.
"The Grand Master has rushed here in such a hurry, is there something important?" Shenxuzi keenly sensed his purpose.
