Rebirth of Devouring Dragon Emperor

Chapter 141 Accomplishment!

Ye Qing didn't say anything.

"I don't mean to question you. It's just that the cultivation world has been declining for many years and is no longer as glorious as it once was. Most of the various strange and unique skills that once flourished have been lost, including alchemy and weapon refining."

The Third Elder froze when he saw Ye Qing didn't say anything. He nervously explained, "Especially in alchemy, the inheritance gap is particularly severe. Looking at China, including those rumored secret families, there are only a dozen or so people who have achieved accomplishments in alchemy."

"Moreover, their alchemy level is actually not that high. It is still far behind the peak of the cultivation era. All they can refine are some low-level pills, such as the Su family in Southern Sun."

"So, I'm not questioning you. I'm just a little excited. If you are an alchemist, I would like to ask you for advice."

The Third Elder paused for a moment before continuing, "My interest in alchemy far exceeds that of spiritual practice. I have been studying this for decades, but unfortunately, I have no way to achieve it."

"I have read so many copies of that incomplete copy of the alchemy manual that I have memorized it by heart. However, the information recorded in it is too sparse and superficial, so my level has never been able to improve."

"The family has also been trying to find things related to alchemy, but basically found nothing useful."

"Alchemy knowledge is so important that every family regards it as a treasure and never passes it on to others. We once visited the Su family and wanted to borrow books related to alchemy. We were willing to pay a high price for it, but they didn't even consider it and directly refused."

The Third Elder smiled bitterly, and then said, "So later on, I even became so obsessed that I wanted to create my own alchemy technique. However, my level was too low and I couldn't reach that level at all. So after killing myself, I gave up the idea."

"But I am unwilling to give up. I have always wanted to improve my alchemy skills..."

At this point, the Third Elder looked at Ye Qing, his eyes full of desire: "Dragon God, if you are an alchemist, can you teach me some knowledge of alchemy?"

He begged, "Even just a little bit!"

"I feel like a person trapped in a dark room. I can't find a way out and I can't see the direction to move forward. I don't like this state... I just hope I can know more, even if it's just an illusory goal."

"At least, let me know where I should work towards!"

As he said that, he knelt down in front of Ye Qing with a plop: "I hope the Dragon God will help me!"

The Third Elder's words silenced all the Chu family members around him.

Judging from their expressions, what the Third Elder said was true.

This is a fool who is obsessed with alchemy. Seeing this, Chu Tianxiong sighed lightly and looked at Ye Qing with a pleading look in his eyes.

Chu Xian looked at the Third Elder, then turned to look at Ye Qing. After a pause, he finally said, "Master, if possible, please teach the Third Elder. He is indeed a person obsessed with alchemy, just like a martial arts fanatic obsessed with martial arts."

"Studying alchemy is his life's entirety!"

Ye Qing did not answer.

The three elders in front of him were still kneeling on the ground and did not stand up.

After a while, Ye Qing said, "I have no shortage of knowledge on alchemy. Those things are nothing to me, so it's not a problem for me to pass them on to you."

"But you have to prove to me that you are qualified for me to grant you the knowledge of alchemy."

"So, show me your hard work and talent. They will determine what I give you."

"The amount and depth of alchemy knowledge you gain is up to you."

As Ye Qing spoke, he waved his hand, and the Third Elder was immediately lifted up by a force and stood up straight.

He looked at Ye Qing, his eyes full of excitement.

But at the same time, there is also a strong sense of uneasiness.

Ye Qing gave him a chance.

But he needs to seize the opportunity himself!

Taking a deep breath, the Third Elder showed a determined look on his face: "What do you need me to do?"

"Perform your best skills and make the best elixir you can."

Ye Qing said lightly.

"it is good!"

The Third Elder had a serious and dignified expression. He suppressed his excitement and panic and said, "Dragon God, can you give me some time to prepare? I want to adjust my condition to the best."

Ye Qing nodded.

The third elder said nothing. He walked more than ten meters away, found a place to sit cross-legged, and began to regulate his breathing.

When refining elixirs, one must avoid being anxious and impatient. Only by being calm and composed can one refine good elixirs. Not only will the success rate be high, but the quality of the elixir will also be much higher.

Therefore, for many alchemists, burning incense and bathing are necessary steps before making the elixir.

Of course, if you reach Ye Qing’s level, you don’t need these.

He would do other things while refining pills. The success rate and quality of the pills he refined far exceeded those of many alchemists.

Ye Qing was not anxious, just waited quietly.

The group of Chu family members did not speak, but waited quietly by the side without making a sound.

Ye Qing could make pills, and for them, other than being surprised, they didn't have any other emotions.

They would not expect Ye Qing to make elixirs for their Chu family. They were just Ye Qing's servants!

How can a master serve his servant?

But the third elder is different. He is a member of their Chu family. The pills he refines are also for the use of their Chu family. These are real things.

The entire Chu family will benefit from the improvement of the Third Elder’s alchemy skills.

If it can be improved to a higher level, it can even further enhance the overall strength of the Chu family.

Therefore, Ye Qing's test of the third elder at this time concerns the entire Chu family, and they are extremely concerned.

All members of the Chu family hope that the Third Elder will live up to expectations and pass Ye Qing's test.

This is of vital importance to their entire family!

The Third Elder took quite some time to regulate his breathing.

It took him nearly half an hour to wake up from meditation and adjust his state to a better state.

Then, he took out the tools needed for alchemy from his storage bag.

An alchemy furnace, a metal rack, some special coal, a lot of bottles and jars filled with things, and a bunch of containers of different sizes...

After the preparations were completed, the third elder selected suitable herbs from the two piles of herbs, then started to make a fire and began to refine the elixir.

Ye Qing just watched quietly at the side.

Watching the Third Elder process the herbs, control the temperature, and refine the elixir...

But he didn't see the end.

Not long after the Third Elder put the processed herbs into the alchemy furnace, he raised his hand to stop the Third Elder from refining the elixir.

"enough."

Ye Qing said: "No need to continue, I already have a general understanding of your level."

The Third Elder's body stiffened upon hearing this, and then an uncontrollable look of disappointment appeared on his face.

"Dragon God, have I failed?"

With a bitter face, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "My level is still too low to be worthy of your attention."

The Third Elder sighed, shook his head, and began to quietly pack up his alchemy tools, giving people an extremely desolate feeling.

Just like a student who failed an exam, packing up his things and going home.

A group of Chu family members watched this scene quietly, feeling their eyes and noses sore and their hearts extremely uncomfortable.

As members of the same clan, they knew very well how much effort the Third Elder had put into alchemy.

Ye Qing's appearance gave him hope of moving forward, but now, what he faced was despair.

Everyone sighed for him.

"Where is your incomplete copy of the alchemy manual?"

Ye Qing suddenly asked.

The Third Elder, who was packing his things, suddenly paused. Then he turned around, took out a half-old book from his arms, and handed it to Ye Qing respectfully.

Ye Qing took it and flipped it twice.

“Who wrote this?”

Ye Qing sneered, "It's ok that the content is very simple, but half of it is wrong. It must be written by someone who doesn't know much and is trying to trick people, right?"

The third elder froze.

"You are such a rubbish, but you have learned a little bit of alchemy from it, and you haven't been led astray to the point of going insane. You still have some talent."

Ye Qing looked at the Third Elder and said slowly: "In this case, you are qualified for me to teach you the art of alchemy."

The third elder was stunned when he heard this.

After a long while, he opened his eyes wide, a look of disbelief appeared on his face, and he stammered, "Dragon God, you...you said..."

"You have a pretty good aptitude in alchemy. If you were born in a large alchemy sect, after systematic study, you might be able to become a key figure in the sect."

Ye Qing said: "Since you are obsessed with alchemy, then I will help you. After all, your Chu family is also my subordinate, even though I didn't recruit them personally."

Upon hearing this, the Third Elder's eyes turned red and he almost cried.

He knelt down with a plop and kowtowed three times to Ye Qing respectfully: "Thank you, Dragon God, for your help!"
