The first thing Liou Yuan thought of was the Fixed Star Compass.
On the day when he slew the two Star Evil creatures, he saw with his own eyes two points of starlight being absorbed by the Fixed Star Compass.
"It shouldn't be because of the Fixed Star Compass either. My Five Mansions within my body showed no change after that."
"The power of the Star Evil absorbed by the Fixed Star Compass was probably used to condense that Micro-Star Elixir."
Liou Yuan shook his head and excluded the Fixed Star Compass.
That object is indeed mysterious, but it is definitely not a divine artifact that assists in cultivation.
In this way, there was only one target left for Liou Yuan to suspect.
"After I got up from bed, even though my body had recovered, my mother Bai Xin still made Kong Yi bring a pot of medicine for me to drink every day."
"Could it be because of the medicine?"
Liou Yuan's eyes shifted slightly, lost in thought.
The reason he first suspected the medicine.
Was completely because the medicine was too bitter; after drinking it once, the bitterness lingered in his mouth all day.
Liou Yuan's tongue still retained that bitter taste sensation, leaving a strong impression on him.
This made him instinctively suspect that there was something wrong with the medicine.
Actually, the more Liou Yuan thought about it, the more it seemed wrong.
Previously, when he was cultivating the Breathing Skill in his courtyard, he could only sustain it for an hour before having to stop.
After drinking the medicine, now he could cultivate the entire night without feeling any discomfort.
It does relate to the abundant starlight at Virgo Peak.
But it is not entirely because of Virgo Peak either.
Adding to that, his mother Bai Xin's attitude towards him.
Through Mr. Ge and Luo Jie, she certainly knew he was cultivating.
Yet she did not mention a word about it.
Making it increasingly hard for Liou Yuan to understand her.
"It's like my cultivation doesn't affect her in any way."
"Neither approval nor disapproval."
"After all, I am her son."
Liou Yuan had already immersed himself into the character of Liou Yuan.
He believed, Bai Xin still cared for him.
But the way she expressed her maternal love was very reserved.
It is suspected that the medicine is Bai Xin's silent support for her son.
Thinking of this, Liou Yuan was already seventy to eighty percent certain.
But why could Bai Xin make a medicine beneficial to cultivation?
After all, she is an ordinary person.
Liou Yuan pondered for a long time and could only sigh: "My mother is still low-key. With such medical skills, she could be unrivaled in Yanhe City."
Anyway, Liou Yuan was convinced that the medicine Bai Xin gave him was the issue.
Since the cause was found, he didn't overthink it.
Instead, he excitedly supported his left hand virtually, and with a thought.
The Fixed Star Compass appeared in his palm.
Focusing his eyes on the center of the compass, the white starlight had already filled it.
During this period at Virgo Peak, Liou Yuan did not just focus on cultivating himself.
While cultivating, the Fixed Star Compass within him also absorbed enough starlight power.
Now he could use the power of the compass a second time.
Liou Yuan's eyes fixed on the Fixed Star Compass, and he thought silently: "The interval between each use of the Fixed Star Compass is too long, it can't be used casually; each use must be meaningful."
So he did not bring out the Fixed Star Compass to use it.
There was nothing at Virgo Peak worth surveying.
Mainly for the other ability of the Fixed Star Compass.
It was also only this month that Liou Yuan discovered the new ability of the Fixed Star Compass.
Liou Yuan reached into his jacket and took out the blue-bound book, left by Liou Zhen, named "Five Mansions Star Gazing Breathing Skill".
Then he placed it above the Fixed Star Compass.
The starlight power accumulated at the center of the compass was instantly activated, rushing towards the Breathing Skill cultivation book.
The light stagnated for about a moment.
Several Chinese characters that people in this world couldn't understand condensed above the booklet.
[Name]Five Mansions Star Gazing Breathing Skill
[Category]Basic Qi Absorption Skill
[Quality]Class B Low-grade
[Effect]Promotes the functioning of the five organs of the body; uses the Five Mansions as a container to absorb starlight power and condense Spiritual Qi. Can strengthen the body, sharpen the five senses, and prevent all diseases.
When practiced to the point of perfection, all Five Mansions resonate, making one impervious to swords and sabers.
It is a rare method among basic Qi Absorption Skills, combining both Qi Cultivation and Body Refining.
Indeed, this is another ability of the Fixed Star Compass.
It not only detects heavenly spiritual objects, foresees dangers, and captures traces of Star Evil.
It also has an appraisal ability.
You just need to place the item to be appraised on the Fixed Star Compass.
Of course, appraising objects will also consume the starlight power within the compass.
After appraising the Five Mansions Star Gazing Breathing Skill, it was obvious the starlight power at the center of the Fixed Star Compass had weakened a bit.
However, this starlight power is insignificant and can be replenished in a day or two.
In Liou Yuan's view, these consumptions are worth it.
Because through the Fixed Star Compass, he gained a certain understanding of the level of this "Five Mansions Star Gazing Breathing Skill".
At the same time, he also realized how precious this basic Qi Absorption Skill, left by Liou Zhen, really is.
"According to the Fixed Star Compass, the quality of the Five Mansions Star Gazing is Class B Low-grade."
"So there must also be middle-grade and high-grade in similar Qi Absorption Skills."
"Since there is Class B, there must be Class A, followed by Class A, B, C, D, and E."
"This Five Mansions Star Gazing already reaches Class B, just second to Class A. My big brother really is something."
Although Liou Zhen had no concept of Class A yet.
But for a Class B Low-grade to receive such high praise from the Fixed Star Compass.
Class A must be even more remarkable.
Silently, Liou Zhen placed a Class B Breathing Skill under his bed, indicating his high vision.
A high perspective proves that he stands at a high position too.
Thus, Liou Yuan said he is very capable.
After seeing the appraisal results from the Fixed Star Compass, Liou Yuan valued the "Five Mansions Star Gazing Breathing Skill" more.
He believed that without Liou Zhen, he might not ever have access to such high-level basic cultivation techniques in his life.
"Even if I can't get into the power behind my big brother, this Five Mansions Star Gazing Breathing Skill is still immensely useful." Liou Yuan sighed.
After appraising the "Five Mansions Star Gazing Breathing Skill", a thought flashed through Liou Yuan's mind, and he took out a medicine bottle from his jacket.
Inside the bottle was naturally the reward given by the Fixed Star Compass after destroying the Star Evil, that Micro-Star Elixir.
The Fixed Star Compass could appraise even the Five Mansions Star Gazing Breathing Skill.
The Micro-Star Elixir should surely be able to yield a result upon appraisal.
Appropriately, Liou Yuan knew very little about elixirs and the like.
Although Bai Xin, his mother, is an amazing doctor.
Her knowledge is ultimately at a mortal's level, as is the medicinal knowledge he learned.
About elixirs beyond the mundane, neither he nor Bai Xin might be able to make much sense of them.
Liou Yuan had previously thought of consuming the Micro-Star Elixir, but it would be best to first appraise and ensure it posed no post-effects before taking it, for the sake of prudence.
"Let me see what mystical uses this Micro-Star Elixir has," muttering to himself, Liou Yuan tilted the Micro-Star Elixir out of the bottle and slowly placed it onto the compass.
Again, a burst of white light surged.
Similar to the situation during the appraisal of the Five Mansions Star Gazing Breathing Skill.
After one or two breaths, a series of Chinese characters emerged on the Micro-Star Elixir.
[Name]Micro-Star Elixir
[Category]Elixir
[Quality]Class 1 Low-grade
[Effect]This elixir notably enhances the cultivation level of early-stage Qi cultivators. To those who haven't formed Spiritual Power, it also aids in the refining of Spiritual Power.
Ingest three pills initially, and effects will be evident; after three, the potency diminishes; consuming more than five offers no benefits.
