BXBX NOVEL Chapter 143 - 105: Mastery of Basic Alchemy_2
Shi’er was brimming with excitement, feeling his vitality increasing at a much quicker pace.
Occasionally, Xu Yan and Meng Chong would return from the hillside to watch Su Lingxiu practicing alchemy.
Several days passed without another attack from a Great Grandmaster.
Zhou Ying finally sighed in relief, his whereabouts had not been exposed.
One day, Li Xuan watched Su Lingxiu who was cultivating and fell deep into thought again.
“Something seems off, she’s almost tempering her bones into gold.”
Su Lingxiu’s pace of cultivation was beyond expectation.
Now, the courtyard in the mansion no longer felt barren; rather, it was planted with various flowers and trees, and blossoms were blooming, releasing gentle floral fragrances.
All of these were planted by Su Lingxiu.
“Could this girl possess some sort of unique physique?”
Li Xuan had a sudden thought as he saw Su Lingxiu practicing among the flowers.
“Moreover, this unique physique might perfectly match the cultivation of Alchemy and Martial Arts, which is why her cultivation speed is so fast.”
Li Xuan felt this possibility was rather high.
“Studying medicine at four, healing people at six…”
Thinking about Su Lingxiu’s freakish talent in medicine made him marvel.
After finishing her cultivation, Su Lingxiu continued her alchemy.
“The success of alchemy should be imminent, the Alchemy should be realized soon.”
Li Xuan was hopeful.
Three days later.
Su Lingxiu started a new round of alchemy confidently, still aiming to refine Qi and Blood pills.
Xu Yan and Meng Chong had both returned to watch their junior sister’s alchemy.
According to her, she would definitely succeed this time.
The fire made from divine stones was ignited, the furnace heated. After repeated summaries and practice, Su Lingxiu’s alchemical process had become incredibly proficient.
She put the medicinal materials into the pill furnace, sensing its temperature, and rhythmically clapped her hands. The energy shook the furnace, her motions following a consistent rhythm and pattern.
It was an alchemic technique that she had formulated through repeated iterations.
Finally, the alchemy process reached its last stage – the pill condensation phase.
“This time, it’ll definitely be a success!”
Su Lingxiu clenched her petite fists in anticipation.
Pop!
The cover of the pill furnace was opened, and three pills poured out upon tilting the furnace.
Xu Yan and Meng Chong excitedly gathered to see the fruits of Su Lingxiu’s labor. Laying on Su Lingxiu’s delicate hand was a lumpy black pill, while the other two were smooth, chestnut-colored pills, emitting a faint fragrance!
She did it!
“Congratulations, junior sister, on the successful refining of runes!”
Xu Yan and Meng Chong excitedly exclaimed.
“Hehe, finally, I did it!
ii
Su Lingxiu jumped up, her face filled with excitement, her cheeks rosy.
After carelessly tossing the failed pill to Shi’er, she carried the two successful pills and ran cheerfully to her master.
The moment Su Lingxiu successfully refined the pill,
Li Xuan, who was sitting in the chair, saw a golden light appearing.
He immediately got excited.
“Your disciple Su Lingxiu, realized Alchemy you created and mastered the pill refining process, culminating in the base level of the enhancement process.”
In his mind, the concept of Alchemy surfaced.
However, this was simply the basic Alchemy!
“The basic Alchemy represents that there is still room for improvement.”
A thought suddenly occurred to Li Xuan: “The third disciple of mine, her understanding of Alchemy contained only the basics, and was in its primary phase. What I acquired, however, is a complete set. If 1 pass on the full Alchemy tome and my basic understanding of Alchemy to her,
“Would she be able to utilize it to comprehend a higher level of Alchemy and medicine?
“If that’s possible, wouldn’t 1 be able to repeatedly benefit from this knowledge using Golden Finger?”
Upon conceiving this idea, Li Xuan grew increasingly convinced that it was worth a try.
The Alchemical Tome and Alchemy, after all, were different from the laws of Martial Arts.
Once the disciples grasped their respective techniques after realising them, there was no need for further teaching.
However, the Alchemical Tome and Alchemy were different. Su Lingxiu had only a rudimentary understanding of these, while he possessed a complete and flawless comprehension of Alchemy.
If imparted to the disciple, it could save her time in solidifying her grasp over Alchemy, enabling her to quickly study and achieve superior Alchemical and medical-integration abilities.
“Perhaps this could work!”
Li Xuan felt a wave of excitement. If this could work, he would be able to continually reap benefits from Golden Finger by increasing his grasp over the Alchemical laws, aside from the standard cultivation methods.
Su Lingxiu, brimming with excitement, came over to him. Her eyes sparkled, making it impossible to hide her joy and excitement.
She opened her delicate little hand and said, “Master, I successfully refined the Qi-Blood Pill.”
Looking at the two brownish-red pills in the delicate white palm, Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, “Good job. The fact that you managed to understand the basic alchemy in such a short period of time makes me proud.”
“From today onwards, you are officially my disciple.”
On gaining master’s approval and truly stepping into the door of the master, becoming the disciple of the master without fear of being expelled, Su Lingxiu finally put her worried heart at ease.
“Thank you, master!”
“Now that you have grasped the basics of Alchemy, let the master show you a trick today!”
Li Xuan revealed his smile.
It’s time to showcase his immense strength again.
Upon hearing this, Su Lingxiu was instantly excited, the master was going to perform alchemy!
Xu Yan and Meng Chong were also full of anticipation.
The master was actually going to perform alchemy personally?
Li Xuan raised his hand and an Alchemy Furnace flew over.
“Today, the master will demonstrate to you how the basics of alchemy work.”
“Yes, master!”
Su Lingxiu stared at the Pill Furnace with her bright eyes wide open.
“Let’s refine Qi and Blood pills.”
As Li Xuan spoke, he reached out and grabbed the exact quantity of ingredients needed to make a Qi and Blood pill.
With his left hand holding the Pill Furnace, his True Qi emerged, much like a flame.
In no time, the furnace was red hot.
With the ingredients tossed into the furnace, Li Xuan sat on his chair without standing up.
The Pill Furnace hovered mid-air, surrounded by True Qi, spinning as the alchemy process began.
Shock was clearly visible on Su Lingxiu’s face.
Was this the basic alchemy?
At that moment, she felt embarrassed. She hadn’t even comprehended the basics of alchemy.
Watching the master perform alchemy, it was like watching the flow of clouds and water, casual yet elegant, as if it was done effortlessly.
Moreover, the master sat leisurely on his chair.
Xu Yan and Meng Chong were equally shocked. Was basic alchemy this magical?
Then how would a more advanced alchemy be like?
They couldn’t even dare to imagine!
Shi’er and Zhou Ying had their eyes wide open and they couldn’t close them.
The shock in their hearts was indescribable.
Seeing the expressions of his disciples, Li Xuan inwardly felt smug. This was his master’s strength.
Bang!
The lid of the Pill Furnace opened, and twelve pills flew out.
Li Xuan beckoned, and the pills flew into his hand.
His round and bright pills were filled with the rich fragrance of medicine, which far surpassed those refined by Su Lingxiu.
He waved his hand and the Pill Furnace returned to the Pill Stove.
“Did you understand?”
He looked at Su Lingxiu and asked.
“I remember the technique. However, since 1 am not yet proficient in Martial Arts, 1 cannot replicate your actions.”
Su Lingxiu said, blushing.
“Don’t just memorize the technique. What I demonstrated was not solely the method, but the mystery and philosophy within the Alchemy. You must comprehend that.”
“Grasp the meaning, not only the form!”
Li Xuan solemnly instructed.
Imitating blindly can’t help one to improve their alchemy technique, can it?
“Yes, master, I understand!”
Su Lingxiu said respectfully.
Li Xuan casually handed the Qi and Blood pill to Xu Yan. He needed these pills and could give them to his parents and relatives as a cultivation aid.
As for Meng Chong.
His Qi and blood were almost perfected, and he didn’t need help from the pills.
“Now that I have demonstrated the technique to you, I will pass on the basics of Alchemy and the Treasure Manual of Dan Medicine for you to remember.”
Having shown his skills, Li Xuan began to instruct Su Lingxiu on the basics of alchemy and the Treasure Manual of Dan Medicine.
There are only a few Godfire Stones left for alchemy. Shi’er went to urge Kou Ruozhi to replenish them.
Zhou Ying was busy cleaning up the courtyard of the estate and watering the flowers planted by Su Lingxiu.
Xu Yan had taken the pill back home while Meng Chong headed to the slope to continue his knife cultivation process.
Li Xuan sat on his chair and began to pass on to Su Lingxiu the Treasure Manual of Dan Medicine and the basics of Alchemy.
The Treasure Manual of Dan Medicine had many formulas for Dan Medicine. It also had clearly labelled theories on how to combine formulas. This could provide inspiration for Su Lingxiu to comprehend the way of Dan Medicine..
