After lunch, Ye Chuan returned to his room to begin refining the Soul-Solidifying Body Reconstruction Pill. Since it was meant for Lan Xiaoke, he decided to put in extra effort.
Sitting by the bed, he opened the alchemy furnace interface and scanned the required spiritual herbs before tossing them all in.
No shortage of materials—just throw them in!
A prompt promptly popped up—
[Refining Soul-Solidifying Body Reconstruction Pill: 65% success rate (Success rate depends on pill quality, furnace quality, alchemy level, etc.)]
Sixty-five percent?
Seeing this probability, Ye Chuan silently glanced at the requirements for upgrading the furnace to the next stage. Aside from money, spirit crystals could also be used for upgrades.
"Upgrading the furnace to the next stage costs 90 million, but only 900 spirit crystals?" Ye Chuan checked his bank balance. Money was tight for now—recent expenses had been high, from setting up house arrays to lottery draws...
After all that, he only had about 60 million left.
"The next payment hasn’t come in yet, so I’ll just use spirit crystals for the upgrade." Ye Chuan tapped the screen, selecting the spirit crystals from his inventory and throwing them in, pushing his top-tier Grade 10 Tianyuan Furnace straight to Grade 15.
He didn’t have many spirit crystals to begin with, but since he’d swiped so many flying swords from Qin Tianya, even selling them at dirt-cheap prices would net him a decent amount.
But he’d have to wait for the respawn timer to reset before heading back to the Tianxuan Continent to find a wealthy buyer.
"Upgrading the furnace is pretty expensive, but I do need it," Ye Chuan mused as he navigated the interface.
He wondered when the furnace would undergo its next evolution. It had been stuck at the Tianyuan Furnace stage for a while—previously, it would evolve after reaching certain thresholds, but now, even at top-tier Grade 15, there was no change.
[Refining Soul-Solidifying Body Reconstruction Pill: 95% success rate (Success rate depends on pill quality, furnace quality, alchemy level, etc.)]
Hmm, ninety-five.
Satisfied with the odds, Ye Chuan was about to start refining when he suddenly recalled past instances where even a 99% chance had failed.
Surely his luck wasn’t that terrible?
"Ugh, I’ve got a bad feeling about this." Ye Chuan’s eyes flickered before he decided to spend a few thousand more spirit crystals to push the furnace a few more levels.
[Refining Soul-Solidifying Body Reconstruction Pill: 99% success rate (Success rate depends on pill quality, furnace quality, alchemy level, etc.)]
Whatever, this’ll have to do.
As Ye Chuan pressed the "Start Refining" button, the familiar alchemy animation began—clanging metal sounds followed by the hiss of flames extinguishing.
[Congratulations! You have obtained a Soul-Solidifying Body Reconstruction Pill. It has been added to your inventory.]
[Item: Soul-Solidifying Body Reconstruction Pill
Effect: Strengthens the soul and reconstructs the physical body.
Note: Only effective for those below the Crystal Core realm. Those above this realm will lose cultivation upon revival, with higher realms suffering greater losses.]
Oh?
So there were restrictions based on cultivation level. But Lan Xiaoke had always been lazy—she was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and even that was thanks to Ye Chuan’s reward distribution and the effects of the spirit-gathering array.
Holding the pill, Ye Chuan sniffed it and pondered for a moment before glancing back at the alchemy furnace on his phone.
The Tianyuan Furnace had a chance to produce higher-quality pills—upgraded versions of the Soul-Solidifying Body Reconstruction Pill. The standard one would work, but if he could get something better for Lan Xiaoke, why not?
Sure, she was a bit lazy, but she provided plenty of emotional support, whether it was cleaning the house or keeping Bai Qianshuang or himself company.
"I’ve still got materials left—might as well try." Ye Chuan checked the pill upgrade probability. Since he had the ingredients, he figured he’d give it a shot.
[Congratulations! You have obtained a Soul-Solidifying Body Reconstruction Pill. It has been added to your inventory.]

...
Three perfect successes at 99%, but no sign of an upgraded version.
"Out of materials, and the new ‘harvest’ isn’t ready yet. Guess I’ll have to stop here." Ye Chuan sighed and gave up for now.
Carrying the pill, he stepped out of his room and spotted Lan Xiaoke’s head popping out from the doorway—she’d apparently been waiting there for a while. "Ye Chuan, you’re done?"
"What are you doing here?"
"Waiting for your secret family recipe, duh!" Lan Xiaoke grinned, alternating between massaging his shoulders and patting his legs.
Her ghostly presence flitted around him like a cool, slippery silk scarf.
"Here, this is it." Ye Chuan handed her the pill.
"Ooooh~" Lan Xiaoke’s eyes sparkled as she stared at the pill. "Do I just eat it?"
"Yeah." Ye Chuan nodded.
Lan Xiaoke grabbed the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
Ye Chuan could see the pill floating in her stomach, emitting a faint glow.
Lan Xiaoke blinked.
Ye Chuan adopted a thoughtful expression.
Silence lingered for several seconds—
"Am I alive now?" Lan Xiaoke asked.
"Probably not yet..." Ye Chuan could still see the pill glowing inside her. He reached out, plucked it from her stomach, and held it in his hand.
"Seems like eating it directly isn’t the way." After a moment’s thought, he said, "Try channeling spiritual energy into it."
"Ooooh~" Lan Xiaoke took the pill again. A few seconds later, she was still staring at the spiritual energy in her palm without moving.
"What’s wrong?"
"Uh… how do I channel spiritual energy again?" Lan Xiaoke scratched her head.
Ye Chuan: "..."
After smacking her butt, Lan Xiaoke finally seemed to remember and released the spiritual energy from her body.
This time, the pill in her hand reacted—glowing brightly before enveloping her entirely!
"Whoa?!"
Ye Chuan watched the two-meter-wide orb of light. "You okay?"
"Yeah, just feels warm."
The orb floated around, spinning and drifting before slowly settling on the ground.
"What’s wrong?"
"Ugh… spun too fast. Feeling queasy."
Ye Chuan: "..."
Using telekinesis, Ye Chuan lifted the orb and carried it to his bed. "Just stay here for now."
"..." Lan Xiaoke didn’t respond.
Seeing no reaction, Ye Chuan sensed her aura and, confirming nothing was seriously wrong, left her be.
Reconstructing a body probably took time—it wasn’t an instant process. As he stepped out, his phone vibrated.
[Tenant Status Update]
[Tenant: Lan Xiaoke]
[Status: Reviving]
[Special quest available upon revival.]
A quest?
Since when did Lan Xiaoke have quests?
Ye Chuan paused before opening her interface, only to find several already completed tasks listed there.
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid.
