Set a goal, and the system takes over the body.

[Target detected: Refining Qi and Blood Pill]

[Method 1: Refine with all your might; a medium-grade pill can be produced.]

[Method 2: Refine at will; low-grade pills can be produced.]

Please select a method to complete the objective.

"this……"

Qi Xiuyuan was slightly taken aback.

This seems somewhat different from the proficiency panel he remembers.

"Uh...refine it with all your might?"

[The system has taken over the body and begun full-scale refining.]

Qi Xiuyuan was completely stunned.

His body moved involuntarily, as if he had practiced it tens of thousands of times. He recited the instructions and poured spring water into the alchemy furnace. He then gripped the lever of the Bagua fire port at the bottom of the furnace with his fingertips and pulled it sharply.

The fire from the fire pit shot upwards along the fire channel, and orange-red flames suddenly licked the bottom of the furnace.

This is not actually subterranean fire.

It was the hard firewood that the martial arts disciples burned in the kitchen on the first floor of the alchemy room. With the help of layers of air ducts, furnace body, and flue, they managed to create this stable and lasting fire for alchemy.

The firepower can be reliably controlled by the opening and closing range of the Bagua fire port.

"No, this panel can take over my body?"

Qi Xiuyuan tried to move his fingers, but found that he couldn't move them at all.

Even though my mind was still my own, and my thoughts were racing, my hands and feet felt like they were being controlled by someone else, and every movement was incredibly precise.

The body's execution was even more rigorous than when he himself went all out, without the slightest mistake.

He stared intently at the alchemy furnace, and when steam rose from the furnace opening, he raised his wrist and pulled the mechanism on the side. With a soft clanging of the chains, the heavy furnace top was smoothly lifted.

He swiftly grabbed a cowpea and tossed it precisely into the oven.

The trigger is then pulled back, and the furnace top falls smoothly back down, fitting perfectly with the furnace body.

Qi Xiuyuan just watched.

Even when his mind wandered to other things, it didn't hinder his actions at all.

"This is interesting. If that's the case, then in the future, whatever I want to do, I can just set a goal, choose a method, and hand it over to the system, right?"

He became more and more excited as he thought about it.

"I'll have to try again later. If I set a goal of becoming a martial arts saint for myself, will I find a path to sainthood?"

"If this really works, it's practically a conceptual level of capability!"

"The Tianfu Martial Arts Tournament in three months will be over, and I might even be able to collect some interest for the original owner."

He tried to stop his body, but to no avail.

This also made him more aware of the importance of caution.

Perhaps once a goal is set and a method is chosen, and the system takes over the body, if the goal is not achieved, one may lose control of the body.

This is something we need to pay extra attention to in the future.

Of course, it's also possible that one hasn't yet found a way to regain control of their body.

Soon, the body pulled down the mechanism again, and the moment the furnace top was lifted, a purple heart fruit was deftly thrown in.

His gaze was fixed on the furnace, and just as the third breath arrived, the purple heart fruit had completely liquefied.

The body immediately moved both hands simultaneously, the top of the furnace fell back smoothly, and the fire opening narrowed by more than half.

The flames that had been shooting high immediately shrank to a lukewarm flame, steadily warming the alchemy furnace.

For the next half hour, the system took over the body, meticulously completing every step of purification, medicine fusion, and pill condensation without a single mistake.

In the blink of an eye, the fire pit closed completely, and the furnace top was pulled up again.

Eight round, smooth Qi and Blood Pills, glowing with a faint red light, lay quietly at the bottom of the furnace, each one plump and uniform.

"Eight pills? And they're all of medium grade as expected!"

Qi Xiuyuan was slightly taken aback.

He usually refines a batch of Qi and Blood Pills, three to four pills in total, with at most one or two reaching the medium grade.

But now, the number has doubled!

Moreover, every single one is a mid-grade elixir!

Her body seemed completely oblivious to Qi Xiuyuan's emotional changes. She simply picked up the pill tongs and took out the pills one by one, placing them into a silver plate with indentations, leaving gaps between each pill to allow them to cool evenly.

The next second, Qi Xiuyuan suddenly felt his hands and feet lighten, and control was back in his hands.

"Hiss... I'm actually a little tired?"

I hadn't felt anything while the game was running idle, but the moment I regained control of my body, a wave of fatigue washed over me, and my forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat.

and.

Every detail of this alchemy process was transformed into rich experience, which was directly instilled into Qi Xiuyuan's mind.

Immediately afterwards, the light blue system panel popped up again.

[Qi and Blood Pill (Mastery: 887→892/1000)]

"One batch increased proficiency by five points? If that's the case, after another twenty or so batches, the Qi and Blood Pill refining skill will be able to break through to the next level."

Qi Xiuyuan smiled with delight, but didn't rush to continue refining pills.

There were three portions of medicinal herbs on the medicine table, and two portions were left untouched. They had to be refined today, otherwise most of the fire in the furnace would be wasted.

The Qingshan Martial Arts School is not what it used to be, and can no longer afford to waste so much firewood.

But right now, he wants to figure out whether his target panel is truly omnipotent.

"I want to cultivate the Five Elements Stance Technique to its perfect state!"

[Target detected: Five Elements Stance Practice Completed]

[Method 1: Practice for six hours daily, combined with Qi and Blood Pills, Muscle Strengthening Pills, and Bone Forging Pills, for three consecutive months, rain or shine, and you will succeed.]

[Method 2: Practice for one hour every day for thirty-eight years, rain or shine, and you will succeed.]

Please select a method to complete the objective.

Qi Xiuyuan's eyes lit up, but he did not make a choice.

"I want to become a Martial Saint!"

[Target detected: Become a Martial Saint]

[Method 1: Diligently cultivate, enter the top ten of the Hundred Dynasties War, enter the forbidden zone of the Hundred Dynasties, find and refine the Sacred Bone, then go to the Burial Abyss of Saints, collect the souls of the Hundred Saints, refine the Hundred Saints' Netherworld-Connecting Pill, and you will succeed after consuming it.]

[Method 2: Go directly to the Burial Abyss, collect three hundred Holy Souls and Holy Heart Fruits, refine them into a Holy Heart Pill, and consume it to succeed.]

Please select a method to complete the objective.

"It really works!!"

Qi Xiuyuan's eyes widened suddenly, and his heart surged with excitement.

This is the method. It sounds like it would take countless years to complete, and it must be extremely dangerous, yet the system didn't give any warning.

But the system did indeed provide a concrete implementation plan.

"What if I add a time limit? I want to become a Martial Saint within a year!"

[Target detected: Become a Martial Saint within one year]

[Method 1: Go to the deepest part of the Burial Abyss, pick the Sacred Heart Fruit and eat it. If you survive the baptism of the Burial Golden Lightning for half a year, you will succeed.]

[Method 2: Go to the deepest part of the Burial Abyss, pick the Sacred Heart Fruit, kill three Great Saints of the Demon Race, take their blood, flesh, and demon cores, and refine them together with the Sacred Heart Fruit into the Three Saints Unifying Pill. Consuming this pill will ensure success.]

Please select a method to complete the objective.

"Hiss... These are two deadly paths! But this also shows that when setting a goal, adding certain restrictions will allow the system panel to provide new solutions."

Qi Xiuyuan smiled slightly and continued with the next test.

"I want to marry Shen Feiyi!"

Shen Feiyi is a famous beauty in Tianfu City. The original owner of this body had secretly longed for her for a long time, but she was always ashamed of not having any martial arts talent and didn't even have the courage to speak to her.

Influenced by the original owner of the body, Qi Xiuyuan blurted it out.

[Target detected: Marry Shen Feiyi]

[Method 1: Achieve instant fame at the Tianfu Martial Arts Tournament, astonishing the entire region. Prepare lavish gifts and propose marriage; success is assured.]

[Method 2: Knock him unconscious, take him away directly, force him into a fait accompli, imprison him in the basement forever, and force him to undergo a forced marriage. This method is likely to succeed.]

Please select a method to complete the objective.

"Uh... as expected, they only provide the implementation plan, completely disregarding the consequences and level of danger, and they have no moral bottom line whatsoever."

Qi Xiuyuan was speechless for a moment.

Test again!

"I need to sense the flow of qi and blood, to embark on the path of martial arts, and the sooner the better!"
