Chapter 40 - Soul Replenishment Elixir

Feng Xuan, having returned to Nuoding Academy after his intense training and the trial in Shivarjuna's yogic world, found himself in a new phase of his journey. The power and knowledge he had gained during the trial had changed him, but it also brought a new clarity about his path and the relationships he needed to navigate carefully.

Determined to stay focused on his growth, Feng Xuan decided to keep his distance from Xiao Wu and Tang San. Although he had developed a fondness for Xiao Wu, like a little sister, he knew that his future decisions would likely put him at odds with Tang San, especially considering his intentions to join the Martial Soul Hall in the future. He couldn't afford distractions or emotional entanglements that could complicate his goals.

Every morning, Feng Xuan rose early, heading to the secluded training grounds he had found near the academy. He would practice his archery, refine his elemental control, and deepen his understanding of the vedic knowledge Shivarjuna had imparted. His routine became a disciplined blend of physical exercise, meditation, and visualization exercises. The solitude allowed him to immerse himself completely in his training, free from the distractions of academy life.

During classes, Feng Xuan maintained a low profile. He attended lessons, completed assignments, and participated in activities without drawing attention to himself. He avoided the common areas where Xiao Wu and Tang San usually gathered with their friends. Whenever he saw them approaching, he would quietly slip away, finding an excuse to be elsewhere.

Despite his efforts to avoid them, Feng Xuan couldn't help but occasionally notice Xiao Wu's cheerful laughter or Tang San's focused expressions. These moments reminded him of the bond they had started to form before his decision to distance himself. It was not easy, but Feng Xuan reminded himself that his path required sacrifices, and staying close to them would only make it harder for him in the long run.

One afternoon, as Feng Xuan was practicing in his secluded spot, he felt Shivarjuna's presence. The ancient archer appeared in his mind's eye, his serene expression watching over Feng Xuan's progress. Shivarjuna acknowledged Feng Xuan's dedication and discipline, encouraging him to continue on this path. He also reminded Feng Xuan that true strength comes from understanding and mastering one's emotions, not just from physical prowess.

The guidance helped Feng Xuan find peace in his solitude. He focused on his training with renewed vigor, channeling his feelings into his practice. Each day, his archery improved, his elemental control became more refined, and his spiritual understanding deepened. The quiet resolve in his heart grew stronger, reinforcing his commitment to his goals.

As the days turned into weeks, Feng Xuan's efforts paid off. His spirit power continued to solidify, and his skills reached new heights. The distance he maintained from Xiao Wu and Tang San allowed him to cultivate a sense of inner strength and clarity. He understood that this separation, though painful, was necessary for his growth.

Feng Xuan's journey as a soul master was not limited to the mastery of his bow and martial spirit. Over the years, he delved deeply into the profound and ancient realm of Vedic knowledge. This aspect of his training became as essential to his development for medical knowledge.

Feng Xuan, with his extensive knowledge of Vedic practices and his deep understanding of soul power, began to explore the creation of soul recovery potions using spirit grass. His Vedic training had imparted to him a profound understanding of herbs, their properties, and their interactions. This knowledge became the foundation for his foray into alchemy, specifically in crafting potions that could aid soul masters in their recovery.

Spirit grass, potent herb found in the forests of the Douluo Continent, was known for its ability to enhance soul power and accelerate recovery, but it is unknown to this world. However, the process of harnessing its full potential required a delicate balance of various elements and an intricate understanding of its properties. Feng Xuan's Vedic knowledge provided him with the necessary insights to unlock the herb's healing capabilities.

Feng Xuan approached the task with meticulous care. He began by studying the spirit grass in detail, observing its structure, energy flow, and natural environment. His understanding of Ayurveda, the ancient Vedic science of life and healing, played a crucial role in this process. He identified the specific doshas (bodily energies) that the spirit grass influenced, and this knowledge guided him in creating a potion that would harmonize with a soul master's body and enhance their soul power.

The first step in the process was to harvest the spirit grass at the peak of its potency. Feng Xuan ventured into the forest, carefully selecting the most vibrant and energy-rich specimens. He paid close attention to the time of day and environmental conditions, knowing that these factors would affect the herb's efficacy.

Once he had gathered the spirit grass, he performed a small Yajna (sacred ritual), invoking the blessings of the divine and purifying the space with holy mantras. This ritual not only sanctified the environment but also infused the ingredients with positive energy.

Feng Xuan began by grinding the spirit grass into a fine paste, using a mortar and pestle. He combined the paste with purified water, heating it gently over a sacred fire. The fire, an essential element in Vedic rituals, represented transformation and purification. Feng Xuan chanted specific mantras as he worked, infusing the potion with spiritual energy and intent.

He added other complementary herbs and ingredients, each chosen for their synergistic properties. Some of these herbs enhanced the absorption of soul power, while others provided additional healing and strength. Feng Xuan's deep understanding of herbal combinations and their effects allowed him to create a well-balanced and potent potion.

As the mixture simmered, Feng Xuan maintained a state of deep concentration and meditation. He visualized the energy of the potion harmonizing with the soul power of the user, creating a seamless flow of vitality and strength. His knowledge of Pranayama (breath control) helped him maintain his focus and infuse the potion with a steady stream of positive energy.

After several hours of careful preparation, the potion was ready. Feng Xuan strained the liquid, collecting the pure, golden elixir in a crystal vial. The potion glowed with a soft, ethereal light, a testament to its potency and the energy infused within it.

Feng Xuan tested the potion on himself first, feeling its effects as it coursed through his body. The sensation was one of warmth and renewal, as if his very soul was being replenished. The potion worked exactly as he had intended, Recover his soul power and accelerating his recovery from fatigue and injuries.

Feng Xuan named his groundbreaking creation "Soul Replenishment Elixir." This name reflected the potion's primary purpose of replenishing soul power and revitalizing the user's energy.

Shivarjuna said to himself with deep emotion, "Not only he is genius archer but also his comprehension of vedic knowledge is beyond imagination. Once he developed he will became master healer. But this potion cannot sees the light of day due to his lack of strength. For now, he can only use this potion on himself."
