Chapter 90 4th Grade Alchemist
The news of the attack on the spiritual veins of Sanjiang City quickly spread within the White Tiger Sect, causing widespread panic throughout the sect.
It is said that most of the White Tiger Sect disciples in most of the spiritual veins died, and only a few disciples who were resting that day escaped the calamity.
Disciples from other spiritual veins, spiritual gardens, and markets were all worried that they would be the next target of an attack.
Although the sect leader has increased manpower to patrol the area, everyone still lacks a sense of security.
Ye Xiaobai also felt the pressure. As a disciple of Lingdan Peak, he was not required to go out on patrol, but his monthly pill refining requirements had been increased.
A few days ago, Ye Xiaobai was certified as a third-level alchemist, and now the pills he needs to refine every month have basically become third-grade pills.
The monthly requirement for Grade 3 pills has been increased from 40 bottles to 60 bottles.
Even a skilled alchemist like Ye Xiaobai, who was familiar with refining third-tier pills, felt the pressure. After all, Ye Xiaobai still had to spend a lot of time improving his cultivation. However, as a result, Ye Xiaobai clearly felt that his alchemy skills had greatly improved, and the success rate of producing high-grade pills had also increased significantly.
Another greater gain for Ye Xiaobai was that, due to his sufficient quantity of pills he had refined and his timely submission of them, he had earned the opportunity to listen to Song Lingqing, the peak master of Lingdan Peak, explain the Dao of Alchemy.
This was the day the Peak Master of Lingdan Peak was to explain the Dao of Alchemy.
Ye Xiaobai arrived early at the alchemy room where the peak master had arranged to give a lecture. It was said to be the alchemy room that Xie Dongyun, the peak master's personal disciple, was in charge of.
Upon arriving at the alchemy room, Ye Xiaobai immediately sensed that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here far surpassed that of any alchemy room he had stayed in before. In addition, high-level formations were arranged around the alchemy room to ensure the stability of the alchemy process.
The guards at the entrance of the alchemy room were all Foundation Establishment cultivators. Ye Xiaobai was greatly shocked.
Ye Xiaobai first handed over his identity token and invitation to the Pill Gathering to the gatekeeper, who then allowed him to enter.
Upon entering the alchemy room, one is greeted by a spacious and bright hall. Instead of a row of alchemy furnaces, a larger alchemy furnace is placed in the center.
This is where a fourth-grade alchemist refines pills.
Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh.
After all, Xie Dongyun is already a fourth-grade alchemist, and I heard that he has started to try to refine fifth-grade pills.
Then the aroma of the pills surged in like a tide. Ye Xiaobai immediately controlled his sense of smell, feeling that he couldn't stand smelling too much.
Following the directions of the staff inside the alchemy room, Ye Xiaobai quickly arrived at the quiet room next to the alchemy room where the alchemy principles were explained.
Despite being called a quiet room, it is quite spacious, easily accommodating dozens of people.
"Greetings, Senior Brother!" Although Ye Xiaobai didn't recognize the people around him after entering, he still greeted them warmly, since they were all disciples of Lingdan Peak.
Then I found a seat and sat down.
The meditation room was divided into three areas, with the top area being where Peak Master Song Yuqing was located, where he was talking to his disciples.
The entire area was reserved for fourth-grade alchemists and disciples of the fourth grade or higher, but there were only a few seats.
At the very bottom are ordinary third-grade alchemists like Ye Xiaobai; these positions were arranged in advance in the invitation.
Soon, the time was almost up, and everyone naturally quieted down, waiting for Song Yuqing to begin.
"Alright, today's lecture on alchemy officially begins!" said the person in charge.
"Greetings, Peak Master Song!" the crowd greeted in unison, first addressing Song Yuqing.
"Greetings, fellow disciples of Lingdan Peak! I'm very happy to be able to analyze the Dao of Alchemy with you all today!" Song Yuqing said calmly.
"As everyone knows, alchemy begins with the selection of ingredients, which requires understanding the spirit of all things and discerning the yin and yang and five elements of medicinal properties, even for the same kind of spiritual medicine..."
Song Yuqing then shared her understanding of alchemy, from which Ye Xiaobai benefited greatly.
Soon, an hour later, Song Yuqing's explanation came to a complete end. Everyone had benefited greatly and exchanged their insights with joyful expressions.
"We've covered the theoretical knowledge; now let's look at the practical application!" Song Yuqing said with a smile.
"Great!" Everyone exclaimed with anticipation.
"Dongyun! Why don't you demonstrate the refining of a third-tier pill—the Gathering Yuan Pill? After all, most of the people here are third-grade alchemists, and I hope everyone can learn something from it!" Song Yuqing said slowly.
"What? It's actually the most difficult pill to refine among all grade three pills—the Gathering Yuan Pill!"
"I've heard that even many alchemists who reach the third rank may not be able to successfully refine the Gathering Yuan Pill!"
"Yes! I'll learn a lot this time!"
The crowd immediately began to discuss among themselves. Ye Xiaobai was also surprised. He had previously obtained the recipe for the Gathering Yuan Pill, but had not yet had time to study and refine it. He had not expected that the Gathering Yuan Pill would be so difficult to refine. Now he could learn a lot from it.
“Yes, Master!” a handsome young cultivator dressed in white said calmly.
This person is Xie Dongyun, a direct disciple of Song Yuqing.
Then everyone arrived at an open space in the alchemy room, where Xie Dongyun took out his alchemy furnace and began refining pills.
Everyone was also watching Xie Dongyun's every move intently, hoping to gain something.
Xie Dongyun placed various spiritual herbs, such as Ganlingcao, Lingjiangzi, and Fulingzi, into the alchemy furnace to refine them, adjusting the temperature of the spiritual fire from time to time. Soon, the aroma of the pills filled the furnace.
"As expected of Senior Brother Xie, he handles even spiritual herbs so perfectly!"
"Yes! Look, the pill is almost finished; the fragrance of the pill is slowly emanating from it!"
"Senior Brother Xie, you succeeded in refining it so quickly?"
"of course!"
"As expected of a fourth-grade alchemist!"
"Senior Brother Xie is truly amazing!"
The crowd immediately launched into another heated discussion.
Xie Dongyun, however, did not react at all, and was completely focused on refining pills.
Hearing the praise from everyone, Song Yuqing immediately showed a look of joy. After all, it was something to be proud of that the alchemy skills of the disciple she had personally trained had now been recognized by everyone.
At the same time, seeing that Xie Dongyun was not affected by the outside world at all and was only focused on alchemy, Song Yuqing was even more convinced that she had not chosen the wrong person as her personal disciple, and that Xie Dongyun was the one who could inherit her mantle.
Soon, Xie Dongyun finished refining the Gathering Yuan Pill. As the furnace was opened, a captivating fragrance of the pill filled the air, and everyone immediately began praising Xie Dongyun again.
"Senior Brother Xie is truly amazing!"
"The Gathering Yuan Pill was actually refined so quickly!"
"Senior Brother Xie truly lives up to his reputation as a fourth-grade alchemist!"
"Dongyun, tell everyone how you refined this Gathering Yuan Pill!" Song Yuqing said calmly.
“Yes, Master!” Xie Dongyun said.
Xie Dongyun then explained in detail the specific details to pay attention to when refining the Gathering Yuan Pill.
