Just as Guo Lin touched the orb, it started glowing, and a warm course of energy entered his body, and he started to float.
The cauldron his father gave him started to glow and entered his body, but suddenly everything stopped. Guo Lin was startled and was thinking, "What has happened?" Then his gaze fell on the orb, which had "zero" written on it.
Guo Lin, seeing this, got confused and thought, "How could this happen? According to the memories of the original Guo Lin, no one has compatibility less than ten, so what has happened?"
As he was thinking about it, a thought came into his mind: "Spiritual compatibility checks the connection between the spiritual object of 'heaven and earth' and our soul. Hmm, my body is of this world, but my soul isn't." So, I need an object from my world in order to establish a connection."
The only things he had of his world were his previous body, mobile phone, and clothes. So, I can use them to check my compatibility again.
After putting the orb aside, he started to check upon the three books on the table. "Basics of Alchemy, Basics of Formations, and the last one was Body Refining Using the Poison Method. Hmmm, it has everything I need to start my cultivation journey."
Guo Lin was overjoyed seeing this, as he had everything he needed for survival, even if it was only the basics. Now, Guo Lin started to memorize the content of all three books, which will only take a few minutes, as he can easily memorize anything and understand it, but he can take them outside and learn it properly in one go, as these are his family's books.
Then, he started to check out the token on the table, on which was written "Xuan Tian." He tried to leave it behind because he has no use for it, but everything has its use, so he took it with him.
At last, he checked upon the black wooden box and tried to open it, but he couldn't, but he was getting the feeling of something extraordinary inside, so he took that with him and then started to walk out of the room.
When he touched the door of the basement, it again opened, and he saw Guo Cheng outside the door, who was standing there, waiting for him.
Guo Cheng asked, "What is the result??" To this question, Guo Lin replied, "Father, It is not confirmed yet; I will tell you the result tomorrow."
Guo Lin said this with a firm face, giving his father no chance to force him, and asked, "Father, can I take these things to my room for study?"
Guo Cheng nodded and didn't force him to speak. After telling him to go to his room for rest. Then they both walked out of the underground chamber, and Guo Lin walked out of the dragon hall. When he reached his room, he took the book of alchemy and started to read it.
In the book, they explained that in order to do alchemy, one must possess a fire or earth spiritual root, and their cultivation should be at least at the body-refining realm. It tells us about cauldrons, spiritual herbs, and pill-making techniques.
Alchemists are of five levels, starting from one to five, which are further divided into three types—lower, middle, and high grade. Pills are also classified into five grades, similar to Alchemists.
Just like that, an hour passed, and Guo Lin learned about herbs, their cultivating techniques, and their uses.
"Hmm, it is similar to the pharmacy from my past life, so maybeI can use those techniques for it."
A sound of knocking on his room's door, and he heard, "Young master, we have bought the body of your friend." Hearing this, he went out and said, "Lead the way."
As they went out, he saw his own body lying like a corpse; it was a strange feeling, but then he started searching for his phone and found it in his body.
He then asked the bodyguards to send it to the base room behind the building. He followed them to the room and said, "Leave the body inside and go back to your duties."
He then went inside the room and took out the orb to check compatibility between his soul and previous body. In this world, a corpse or living body cannot be used as a spiritual object, but his soul and spiritual objects are not of this world, so he can try it.
