Ding! The host will transfer 300 days of cultivation to his disciple. The reward will be tenfold, and he will receive 3000 days of cultivation!
After parting ways with Bai Luori and Li Qingxuan, Xiao Xuan and his disciple finally arrived at the Drifting Cloud Sect's Earth Realm after three days of trekking.
Xiao Xuan found an inn in the Drifting Cloud City at the foot of the Drifting Cloud Sect's mountain and stayed there. He could not wait to imbue the child with cultivation.
This time, the enlightenment directly raised the cultivation of the child slave to the first level of Qi Refinement. Under the reward of the system feedback, Xiao Xuan's cultivation also broke through to the sixth level of the Golden Core Realm.
"Zhi Nu, take a look at this basic alchemy book. There is a lot of knowledge about pills in it.”
Xiao Xuan took out a thick secret manual and handed it to the servant.
Other than his outstanding talent in cultivation, Xiao Xuan was not very talented in other skills such as martial arts, alchemy, and artifact making.
After Zhi Nu reached the first level of Qi Refinement, she could mobilize spiritual energy to form a pill fire to refine pills.
Based on the principle of all-round development without shortcomings, Xiao Xuan wanted to test the child's alchemy talent. If possible, he could use the system's feedback reward to quickly improve his alchemy attainments.
Ding! The host has bestowed upon his disciple the Basic Alchemy Technique. The reward is five times the reward and he has obtained the Advanced Alchemy Technique!
The Advanced Alchemy Technique was available in the Hong Meng Sect's Scripture Depository. This reward was completely useless.
The child slave took the basic alchemy technique and flipped through it. After reading it, his face revealed a puzzled expression.
"Master, some of the knowledge on this book seems simple, but it's actually complicated. I don't quite understand it. Can you teach me?”
The child slave looked like he was thirsty for knowledge.
Looking at Zhi Nu's expectant eyes, Xiao Xuan nodded. He took the basic alchemy technique from Zhi Nu's hand and explained in detail,"The path of alchemy is broad and profound, but the basics of alchemy are very simple. You just need to turn the spiritual energy in your body into a pill fire and burn it in the pill furnace. Then, you just need to put the medicinal ingredients into the pill furnace one by one according to the order on the pill formula.”
Although Xiao Xuan was not familiar with the art of alchemy, he was very clear about the basic principles.
Seeing Zhi Nu's blank expression, Xiao Xuan smiled and continued,""The so-called pill fire is the core of pill refinement. It transforms the spiritual energy in the body into the form of a flame and keeps the temperature of the pill furnace at its optimal state. The medicinal liquid in the pill furnace will not deteriorate, melt, or solidify.”
"However, once the control of the fire is not good, even if the medicinal ingredients are thrown in step by step, the failure rate of the pill refinement will be frighteningly high.”
"Then Qi Refinement can only refine level one pills, level two Foundation Establishment, level three Golden Core…Is it because the higher the level, the higher the temperature of the pill fire?”
Zhi Nu's comprehension was indeed very high. He understood it with just a little bit, which made Xiao Xuan very satisfied.
"That's right, so refining pills isn't that difficult. It's just a process of practice. You already understand the basics of refining pills, so now you just need to spend some time and practice.”
As he spoke, Xiao Xuan pointed to a line of words on the Basic Alchemy Technique and said,"This first tier cultivation pill can help people recover their qi, blood, and spiritual energy. The detailed refining method and the required medicinal herbs are written on it. Go to the medicine shop in the city first and buy the pill furnace and these medicinal herbs.”
"Yes, sir! Master!"
After the servant bowed respectfully, he immediately ran out.
Xiao Xuan smiled and shook his head as he watched Zhi Nu leave excitedly.
It was true that the foundation of alchemy was simple, but that required perseverance and a large number of resources to be called simple.
Fortunately, he was rich and had enough resources for the young slaves to squander.
However, if one wanted to become a pill master, it was not enough to rely on the pill formulas left behind by the predecessors. One had to be familiar with the characteristics and attributes of various medicines.
A powerful Alchemy Grandmaster could not only refine high-quality pills according to the pill formula, but he could also rely on his own comprehension to modify the pill formula, refining pills that he wanted or pills that had never been produced before.
Therefore, it was easy to get started with the basics of alchemy. What was difficult was to understand and use the medicinal ingredients and heat.
"I wonder what kind of pill dao talent this girl has. She better not be a pill concocting trash like me.”
Xiao Xuan muttered to himself, his heart filled with anticipation.
What happened next didn't disappoint Xiao Xuan.
After the child slave had refined and exploded several pill furnaces, Xiao Xuan finally confirmed helplessly that the child slave's talent in alchemy was really difficult to describe in a few words. It was even inferior to his own.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the fact that his words had come true and that he had been sitting idly and enjoying the fruits of his labor.
If Xiao Xuan had not expected this and set up an isolation restriction in the room in advance, the shocking explosion rate of Zhi Nu's furnace would have razed the entire inn to the ground.
"Forget it, forget it. Even if Zhi Nu's pill dao talent is bad, with her diligent personality, she will definitely be able to learn the basics of pill refinement. It's just that she will spend more time than others.”
"But then again, this girl is really patient. Exploding furnaces is a torture to one's heart, but she didn't even complain after nearly ten furnaces exploded. She's really stubborn... Alchemy trash.”
Looking at Zhinu's flushed face, Xiao Xuan could not help but sigh.
Just like that, Xiao Xuan accompanied Zhi Nu in the room to practice alchemy repeatedly. During this time, he also constantly talked about various alchemy experiences according to the basic alchemy techniques.
Unknowingly, Xiao Xuan's pill refinement level had improved quite a bit.
Ding! [The host has successfully imparted Pill Dao (Beginner) to his disciple. The reward will be tenfold. You have received Pill Dao (Proficient)!]
Time flew by. Soon, Xiao Xuan and Zhi Nu had stayed in the inn for seven days. Finally, on this day, the long-awaited system notification sounded.
The unorthodox skills were divided into five levels according to proficiency: entry, proficiency, mastery, great success, and stepping into the path.
[Pill Dao (Proficient): 20% success rate of pill refinement.]
Hearing the system's explanation, Xiao Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
After seven days of hard work, he already had a certain level of understanding of alchemy. Compared to the system's judgment, he had probably reached the level of proficiency. Now, the system was equivalent to giving him a repeated reward. This was simply a useless existence.
"I didn't expect Zhinu to have such shocking talent in the way of the sword and such poor talent in the way of alchemy. If I used these seven days to teach her how to practice the sword, I should have gained more than this.”
Xiao Xuan sighed.
"The ancients didn't lie to me when they taught me according to my aptitude.”
