Chapter 8

Ning Xiaochuan crushed the Heart-Nourishing Grass and absorbed it into his bloodstream, storing it in the Heart-Nourishing Cauldron.

He held a low-grade mystic stone in both hands, using martial arts mystic energy to shave it into crystal grains, which he then absorbed into his blood and the Heart-Nourishing Cauldron.

Everyone has heart fire within their body, and the energy of heart fire is incredibly vast. For a martial artist at the fourth level of mystic energy, the heart fire is even more powerful, sufficient to refine the Heart-Nourishing Grass.

The medicinal energy of the Heart-Nourishing Grass was originally in a gaseous state, but now it began to liquefy.

The first drop of Heart-Nourishing Liquid successfully condensed.

Success!

He could become a Heart-Nourishing Master!

Ning Xiaochuan was excited; this single drop of Heart-Nourishing Liquid was worth eight thousand small coins, four times the value of a first-grade Heart-Nourishing Grass.

Continue!

The medicinal energy of the Heart-Nourishing Grass had only been partially consumed; it could still condense more Heart-Nourishing Liquid!

The second drop of Heart-Nourishing Liquid condensed!

The third drop of Heart-Nourishing Liquid!

Ultimately, the fourth drop of Heart-Nourishing Liquid did not condense. After all, this was his first time refining Heart-Nourishing Grass, and being able to condense three drops was already quite remarkable.

Most Heart-Nourishing Masters could only condense one drop of Heart-Nourishing Liquid during their first refinement. Only extremely talented individuals could grasp the technique of refining mystic herbs in one go and condense two drops of Heart-Nourishing Liquid.

"Only three drops, if I could have condensed the fourth drop, I could have earned another eight thousand small coins. Sigh! It's barely acceptable!"

The three drops of Heart-Nourishing Liquid were enveloped by martial arts mystic energy, transported through his bloodstream, and dripped from Ning Xiaochuan's fingertips into three small bottles prepared in advance.

The Heart-Nourishing Liquid was green, the size of a dewdrop, with a fragrant and sweet aroma.

Ning Xiaochuan quickly capped the three bottles; this was a treasure! It mustn't evaporate!

The three drops of Heart-Nourishing Liquid, roughly estimated, were worth twenty-four thousand small coins, a tenfold increase in value.

As for the damaged low-grade mystic stone, which was originally the size of a spade, it had now shrunk by about one-tenth.

"Ha ha! Now I'm really going to get rich!"

Ning Xiaochuan was naturally very excited. Becoming a Heart-Nourishing Master meant a steady stream of wealth in the future!

"The mystic energy in my body has increased, and refining mystic herbs can even boost my cultivation. This is truly a win-win situation."

What Ning Xiaochuan didn't know was that other Heart-Nourishing Masters couldn't increase their cultivation while refining mystic herbs. Only he, with the Seven Marvelous Divine Heart Palace, could do so.

Because his Heart-Nourishing Cauldron was placed in the Heart Aperture, during the refinement process, the Heart-Nourishing Cauldron also refined the mystic stone grains, transforming them into strands of mystic energy, which were assimilated by the Heart Aperture and integrated into his bloodstream, thus increasing his cultivation.

Other Heart-Nourishing Masters' Heart-Nourishing Cauldrons were located in the Martial Arts Heart Palace, which inherently repelled foreign objects. Therefore, the mystic energy in the mystic stone could not be directly absorbed by the Martial Arts Heart Palace and could only be integrated into the medicinal liquid.

This was also why martial artists could not directly absorb mystic herbs into their blood, as both blood and the heart repelled foreign objects. Only the elixirs refined by Heart-Nourishing Masters through the Heart-Nourishing Cauldron could be directly absorbed.

In short, the Heart Aperture could accommodate any foreign object and assimilate it, transforming it into something beneficial to the body.

Refining the Heart-Nourishing Cauldron and refining the Heart-Nourishing Grass took Ning Xiaochuan most of the day, and it was already dusk.

Ning Xiaochuan planned to sell the three drops of Heart-Nourishing Liquid right away.

...

Ning Xiaochuan arrived at a six-story tall, massive building with jade pillars and red walls, marble floors, and an extremely solemn and grand appearance. Many people entered, the majority of whom were martial artists.

Above the main gate hung a gilded plaque: Golden Phoenix Heart-Nourishing Hall.

The Golden Phoenix Heart-Nourishing Hall was one of the three top Heart-Nourishing Halls in the Yulan Kingdom, wealthy and powerful, a pillar of the Golden Phoenix financial group. It had many branches throughout the Yulan Kingdom and even recruited many Heart-Nourishing Masters.

Rumors had it that the mastermind behind the Golden Phoenix financial group was the current first king of the Yulan Kingdom, the Great Golden Phoenix King!

The background was as hard as steel.

"Miss, I want to sell Heart-Nourishing Liquid. Could you tell me which counter I should go to?" Ning Xiaochuan bowed politely to a servant girl at the entrance, asking very humbly.

"Are you a Heart-Nourishing Master?" The servant girl, who looked about sixteen or seventeen, had very fair skin and wore a white dress, asked curiously.

Ning Xiaochuan thought for a moment, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and nodded with a smile.

"Heavens! Great Heart-Nourishing Master, I should be the one to bow to you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not knowing the rules and neglecting the Great Heart-Nourishing Master." The servant girl was frightened and quickly knelt down to bow to Ning Xiaochuan.

This young man was a great Heart-Nourishing Master, while she was just a servant. How could she dare to have a Heart-Nourishing Master bow to her? If this were to get out, she would surely be beaten until her legs were broken.

Ning Xiaochuan hadn't expected that a polite gesture would make her so terrified. Feeling a bit guilty, he quickly smiled and said, "I'm just here to sell a few drops of Heart-Nourishing Liquid. I'll need your help to show me the way. Thank you!"

The servant girl, still shaken, saw that the Great Heart-Nourishing Master was not angry and finally stood up, respectfully leading Ning Xiaochuan into the Golden Phoenix Heart-Nourishing Hall.

The other three servant girls also sighed in relief and stood up.

One of the servant girls patted her chest and said, "Thank goodness the Great Heart-Nourishing Master wasn't angry."

"This Great Heart-Nourishing Master is so kind, not at all aloof and unapproachable, and he's so young. If I could be chosen as his servant, that would be wonderful." Another servant girl was a bit infatuated, her eyes filled with hearts.

"You're just dreaming! Do you think anyone can become a servant of a Great Heart-Nourishing Master? Even the daughters of many noble families want to become servants of a Great Heart-Nourishing Master, hoping to receive guidance and benefit greatly."

To these servant girls, the status of a Heart-Nourishing Master was unattainably high, like the hall master of the Golden Phoenix Heart-Nourishing Hall, who was a Great Heart-Nourishing Master and a guest of the royal family, on par with the nobles!

"Great Heart-Nourishing Master, please wait here for a moment. I'll go and call the steward." The servant girl led Ning Xiaochuan to a counter and then gracefully retreated.

Ning Xiaochuan smiled and nodded, waiting for a while. Soon, a beautiful woman in a Heart-Nourishing Master robe walked out from behind the counter. He quickly approached, took out three small bottles, and placed them on the counter, smiling, "Steward, three drops of Heart-Nourishing Liquid. How much do you think they're worth?"

Behind the counter, a beautiful woman in a moon-white robe gently lifted her sleeve, revealing a pair of white, jade-like hands, her fingers like white onions, soft and slender.

Her demeanor was very elegant, her figure tall and slender, her skin fair, and her every movement exuded a refined and noble aura.

Her name was Yu Qianqian, the thirteenth princess of the Great Golden Phoenix Kingdom!

Yu Qianqian's status was extremely noble. She was wearing a初级 Heart-Nourishing Master robe and had come to the Heart-Nourishing Hall to study under the Great Heart-Nourishing Master "Guo Shidao." When she heard from the servant girl that a young Heart-Nourishing Master had come to the Golden Phoenix Heart-Nourishing Hall, she was curious and personally came to receive him. After all, every Heart-Nourishing Master was a respected figure, and if she could recruit one to the Golden Phoenix Heart-Nourishing Hall, it would be best.

Although both were descendants of nobles, Yu Qianqian, as a princess, was far above Ning Xiaochuan, who was just a sickly youth from the Jian Pavilion Marquis Manor. They had no interaction, and even if they had met before, Yu Qianqian, with her status, would not have remembered a sickly youth.

Yu Qianqian exuded a natural nobility, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. She opened one of the small bottles, and a fragrant and rich medicinal aroma wafted out. She stared at the thin youth opposite her in surprise and asked, "Is this the Heart-Nourishing Liquid you refined?"

Ning Xiaochuan replied, "Yes. How much do you think these three drops of Heart-Nourishing Liquid are worth?"

"To determine the price, we need to test the grade, purity, and properties of these three drops of Heart-Nourishing Liquid." Yu Qianqian called a servant girl and had the three small bottles taken to the second floor of the Heart-Nourishing Hall.

Ning Xiaochuan was not worried that the Golden Phoenix Heart-Nourishing Hall would cheat him; to them, three drops of Heart-Nourishing Liquid were too insignificant.

Yu Qianqian's eyes were like two autumn moons as she conversed with Ning Xiaochuan, "I am a初级 Heart-Nourishing Master, Yu Qianqian. May I ask your name, sir?"

"Ning Xiaochuan!" Ning Xiaochuan replied.

Yu Qianqian found the name somewhat familiar but didn't think much of it. "How long have you been a Heart-Nourishing Master, Mr. Ning?"

"Today, I just refined the Heart-Nourishing Cauldron and produced Heart-Nourishing Liquid for the first time," Ning Xiaochuan said.

"So, Mr. Ning hasn't officially become a Heart-Nourishing Master yet?"

Yu Qianqian was delighted and quickly began to recruit Ning Xiaochuan. "Among the three major Heart-Nourishing Halls, our Golden Phoenix Heart-Nourishing Hall always offers the best benefits. Heart-Nourishing Masters who join us will receive many advantages, such as a high monthly salary, titles and positions, and discounted prices on mystic herbs. We also have lectures by senior Heart-Nourishing Masters every month. Would you consider it, Mr. Ning?"

"Is there a monthly salary?" Ning Xiaochuan asked.

For a doctor, the first consideration was the monthly salary, ensuring a stable income before other benefits.

Yu Qianqian replied, "As a初级 Heart-Nourishing Master of the Golden Phoenix Heart-Nourishing Hall, you will receive a monthly salary of 500,000 small coins, which will increase with experience."

"Five... hundred thousand." Ning Xiaochuan's heart skipped a beat. Without hesitation, he said, "Alright, I'll join!"

There was no way he could refuse such a lucrative offer.

After all, Ning Xing'er, a direct descendant of the Jian Pavilion Marquis Manor and a top genius at the Divine Body Realm, only received a monthly salary of 500,000 small coins.

A初级 Heart-Nourishing Master joining the Golden Phoenix Heart-Nourishing Hall would immediately be on par with a direct descendant of the Jian Pavilion Marquis Manor, highlighting the nobility of Heart-Nourishing Masters.

A servant girl returned with the three small bottles, bowed respectfully to Yu Qianqian, and reported joyfully, "The test results are in. It's a first-grade Heart-Nourishing Liquid, with the highest purity, and the property is... Primordial!"
