Primordial Era: The Holy Maiden Shiji, a woman of exceptional talent and beauty

Before leaving, Yun Xiao reminded him: "No matter what, remember to protect yourself."

"Okay, Senior Sister Yunxiao, I'll remember that." Shiji nodded in agreement. Before leaving, he looked at Bixiao and smiled slightly, "Senior Sister Bixiao, I'll go ahead."

"Yeah." Bixiao responded softly, but his eyes were fixed on Shiji, never moving away.

"Goodbye." Shiji said goodbye again, and Bixiao seemed to wake up from a dream. Looking at Shiji's figure getting farther and farther away, a hint of loss appeared in his eyes.

So, Shiji left, and Bixiao still stood there.

"Why, are you reluctant to leave?" Yunxiao's voice suddenly sounded from behind Bixiao, scaring her.

Bixiao turned around and looked at Yunxiao behind her, her expression slightly displeased: "Sister, stop making trouble."

"Haha, I was just joking." Yun Xiao smiled awkwardly and then asked, "Do you really plan to continue practicing here?"

Bixiao glanced at Yunxiao calmly: "What else? Where do you think I should go to practice?"

"How about we go back to Sanxian Island?" Yunxiao touched his chin lightly, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

"No need." Bixiao felt helpless.

"Sister, you have the highest talent for cultivation among the three of us sisters. Now you have received the sword skills taught by our master. Wouldn't it be a pity if you don't practice diligently?" Yunxiao advised.

"Sister, I know my limits. I won't say any more. I'll go back first." Bixiao didn't want to say more and turned away. Yunxiao looked at Bixiao's back with a meaningful smile on his face.

On the other side, Shiji returned to his residence, sat cross-legged, concentrated his mind and began to practice.

Time passes quietly. In the ancient world, the years are long and many innate creatures spend their time in cultivation.

But Shiji is different. He has a system and should have been lying down and enjoying himself, but he is also entangled in trivial matters.

His master asked him to supervise the competition between Jiejiao and Xianjiao, which made him feel helpless. Although the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, he really didn't want to participate in such boring things.

It is difficult to disobey the master's orders. No matter whether it is the master, uncle, or senior brothers and sisters, they all hope that he can improve his cultivation as soon as possible.

However, he had no interest in the boring practice of seclusion and breathing in spiritual energy. After all, the system had given him many treasures, so why couldn't he just be a salted fish?

Although he wanted to keep a low profile, the achievement system did not allow him to do so.

"Ah, am I destined to be bothered by these trivial matters?" Shiji sighed, then shook his head, thinking to himself: "With the system, I have no worries about my realm. I still have to think about how to improve my cultivation. I'd better practice honestly."

"System, I have almost completed all the practice I should do, what should I do next?" Shiji frowned in distress, feeling confused.

"Host, if you do not want to practice, you can pause your realm improvement and complete achievements in various aspects to enhance your cultivation." The system responded.

Shiji's eyes lit up when he heard that.

In the prehistoric world, those who have a cultivation level higher than the Golden Immortal have powerful means of attack. And Shiji's strength is far beyond this. But his cultivation level cannot keep up with his realm, which makes him quite distressed. However, with the system, he did not give up.

"Shiji, do you still remember me?" At this moment, a voice sounded. Shiji turned around and saw that it was Taishang Laojun.

"Master uncle!" Shiji bowed quickly, with a puzzled look in her eyes, "Why is Master uncle here?"

"I came to Penglai Island this time specifically to look for someone." Taishang Laojun said with a smile.

Shiji blinked, confused, not knowing who Taishang Laojun was looking for.

Taishang Laojun did not answer directly, but said: "I came to find you. You may not realize that you have a very high talent for alchemy."

Shiji was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Master. I am ashamed to accept it."

Taishang Laojun said nothing more, just patted Shiji on the shoulder and floated forward.

Shiji looked at the back of Taishang Laojun, and her doubts grew even stronger. Why did Master Uncle seem a little strange today? Was it just an illusion?
When Taishang Laojun saw that Shiji had not caught up, he stopped and coughed twice: "Shiji, follow me."

"Oh, okay." Shiji hurriedly followed, full of doubts.

Taishang Laojun waved his sleeves and took Shiji to the Tushita Palace, asking him to wait outside. Shiji looked around curiously, with an inexplicable emotion in his heart. …

After an incense stick of time, Taishang Laojun walked out of the Tushita Palace. Shiji saw this and hurriedly asked, "Master, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I have something to ask you, follow me." Taishang Laojun nodded and turned to walk towards the Tushita Palace.

Shiji followed closely behind.

Taishang Laojun did not say anything, but took him to a room and waved for him to come over.

Although Shiji was doubtful, she still walked over obediently.

Taishang Laojun reached out and gently stroked him a few times. Shiji was startled and subconsciously wanted to dodge, but when he thought it was Taishang Laojun, he did not dare to move.

Taishang Laojun stopped what he was doing, looked at him and asked, "Shiji, have you ever thought about refining the elixir?"

Shiji was stunned. He didn't expect that Taishang Laojun would ask this. Facing the master of alchemy, he humbly shook his head and said, "I have never thought about such a profound alchemy technique."

Taishang Laojun sighed and said: "The method of alchemy cannot be passed on in words, it requires understanding and opportunity."

Shiji nodded when he heard that.

Taishang Laojun's eyes became more loving: "Shiji, you are very talented and have a very good understanding. If you can understand the method of alchemy one day, you will definitely become a great man of your generation."

Hearing this, Shiji was very excited. How glorious it would be if she could refine a miraculous elixir that even gods could hardly obtain?

Seeing him like this, Taishang Laojun smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm just reminding you."

Shiji quickly calmed down and stood up respectfully.

Taishang Laojun nodded with satisfaction: "I see that your foundation of cultivation is solid, and the next step is to accumulate your experience. Do you have any wishes? Perhaps I can help you realize them."

This……

Shiji fell into deep thought after hearing this. He had a system and was omnipotent, but he couldn't think of any wish.

Over the years, although his realm has been constantly improving, his cultivation has not been able to break through, and he always feels a little empty in his heart. He knows nothing about alchemy, and only feels that the road to cultivation is long and difficult.

Now Taishang Laojun suddenly asked about his wish, could it be that... he wanted to take him in as a disciple and teach him the method of alchemy?

Taishang Laojun saw his confusion and said with a smile: "I don't want to accept you as my disciple. You are already the disciple of Junior Sister Tongtian. I just want to teach you the art of alchemy and let you become an alchemist." Be...be an alchemist?

When Taishang Laojun said this, his expression was a little strange, as if he felt a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and continued: "I know you are under a lot of pressure, but I believe you can become an excellent alchemist. I look forward to the day when you can surpass me!"

Surpass...Taishang Laojun!

When Shiji heard these three words, she was shocked. What kind of person is Taishang Laojun? She actually expected him to surpass her.

How can this be?

Although she had doubts in her heart, Shiji couldn't help but feel motivated.

He made up his mind secretly.
You must give your all!
Never let people look down upon you!
Shiji made a silent vow in her heart.

Seeing his expression, Taishang Laojun nodded with satisfaction, then took out a few pages of paper from his sleeve, gently handed them to Shiji, and said, "These are the secrets of alchemy that I know, take them and study them carefully."

Alchemy secrets?

Hearing this, Shiji quickly reached out to take it and began to read it impatiently.

On the paper, lines of small regular script are vigorous and powerful, revealing a sense of dominance and majesty, as if every stroke contains the laws of heaven and earth.

He quickly recognized that this was the legendary "Tianyuan Dan Jing".

Shiji read it carefully without missing a word, then looked up at Taishang Laojun, clasped his fists respectfully and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Master."

"I see that you are intelligent and have a high level of comprehension. You will definitely become an outstanding alchemist in the future. Therefore, I decided to teach you the alchemy technique that is most suitable for you." said Taishang Laojun.

Upon hearing this, Shiji's face lit up with joy, and he quickly responded, "Yes, Master Uncle!"

Taishang Laojun looked at his flattered look, smiled slightly, and said: "You're welcome, this is what I should do. I have written down the contents of the Tianyuan Dan Sutra, you just need to practice step by step according to the methods in it."

Shiji clasped his fists again and said, "Thank you, Master!"

Taishang Laojun nodded and said earnestly: "Since you call me Grandmaster, you should always remember my teachings and don't let me down."

Shiji bowed quickly and replied, "I will definitely remember Master's teachings!"

Afterwards, Shiji raised a few more questions, and Taishang Laojun patiently answered them one by one. Next, it was Shiji's first attempt at alchemy. He had many doubts and needed Taishang Laojun's guidance. This was also an opportunity for Taishang Laojun to give him training.

"Uncle Master, what grade of medicinal materials are needed this time?" Shiji asked while drawing a blueprint next to the alchemy furnace.

What we need to refine this time is the Ningshen Pill.

Taishang Laojun replied: "These medicinal herbs are ordinary spiritual herbs, but they are excellent for gathering spiritual energy."

After hearing this, Shiji paused for a moment with the pen in her hand and looked towards Taishang Laojun with a twinkling gaze.

Taishang Laojun knew that he understood, so he continued: "It takes 49 days to refine the Ningshen Pill, so you only have 48 days to prepare."

Shiji nodded and asked, "Master, please tell me what to do."

Taishang Laojun explained: "Although these medicinal herbs are not top-grade, in order to successfully refine the Ningshen Pill, you still need to find a spiritual herb called Tiandi Yuanling Fruit, which can greatly improve the efficiency of alchemy."

Shiji had understood something in his heart and nodded. Although he had not practiced for a long time and did not know much about these rare things, since Taishang Laojun said so, there must be a deep meaning.

Taishang Laojun continued, "The Yuanling Fruit of Heaven and Earth only grows in the place where the world was first created. There is only one of its kind here. Moreover, its growing environment is extremely harsh and it is difficult for ordinary people to get close to it. Even if you are lucky enough to get it, you may not be able to bear the blessings it brings."

Shiji said solemnly: "Disciple understands what Master Uncle means."

Taishang Laojun nodded and said, "It's good that you understand. During this period of time, you should concentrate on refining the elixir. Remember to stay calm, peaceful and cool."

Shiji quickly responded: "Master uncle is right, I will remember it."

Taishang Laojun waved his hand, handed the Heaven and Earth Yuanling Fruit and other pill recipes to Shiji, and reminded him: "This is the Heaven and Earth Yuanling Fruit and the required pill recipes, you study it carefully. Remember, don't rush for quick success, but proceed step by step."

Shiji bowed respectfully, and then devoted himself to refining the elixir. Taishang Laojun looked at his busy figure, sighed, and thought to himself: I wonder if Shiji can succeed in refining the elixir for the first time.

Shiji was so absorbed in refining the elixir that he was oblivious to the expectations of Taishang Laojun. He had only one thought in his mind: refining the elixir.

Time flies, and forty-eight days pass in a flash. Shiji stayed by the alchemy furnace for a full forty-eight days.

During this time, he continued to practice fire control techniques and familiarize himself with the process of refining pills, because he knew very well that this was not just an ordinary furnace of mind-condensing pills, but also the first elixir he had refined.

Fortunately, with the help of the system and the blessing of his own luck, everything went smoothly. Shiji successfully refined this pill.

Looking at the light blue spiritual power fluctuations emanating from the pill, Shiji smiled. Although he was still unclear about the quality of the pill, judging from the aura it exuded, it must be extraordinary. However, just as he was delighted, strange phenomena suddenly occurred in Tianwaitian.

The entire prehistoric world was covered with golden lotuses. The elixir that Shiji had refined turned out to be a chaotic elixir! Its medicinal effect spread throughout the prehistoric world.

"What kind of fragrance is this?"

"It seems to be the scent of Chaos Elixir."

"Oh my god! This fragrance actually raised my cultivation to a higher level!"

The creatures in the prehistoric world were all amazed. The Supreme Lord Lao was even more shocked beyond words. He never expected that Shiji could successfully refine the Chaos Elixir for the first time!
He quickly reminded Shiji, "Shiji, even though the elixir is ready, you still need to be careful. This Chaos Elixir is extremely potent, and your body may not be able to withstand it."

Shiji nodded, and when she was about to put the pill away, the system suddenly sounded a prompt.

[Congratulations to the host for completing his first alchemy achievement, and be rewarded with a volume of the supreme alchemy secret book "The Secret of Heaven and Earth"! ]

Shiji was stunned. He didn't expect that he could get such a generous reward by refining the elixir. However, he had been concentrating on refining the elixir these days, and he didn't care much about these rewards.

He came back to his senses, looked at the pleased smile of Taishang Laojun, and was filled with gratitude. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for your careful cultivation."

Taishang Laojun waved his hand and said with a smile: "I just hope that you can break through the bottleneck as soon as possible and step into a higher realm. You have outstanding talent, so don't slack off in the way of alchemy."

Taishang Laojun's words were full of expectations. He knew that Shiji had extraordinary talent, which even made him feel inferior to her. He hoped that Shiji could continue to move forward on the path of alchemy and lay a solid foundation for future cultivation.

Shiji replied respectfully: "Thank you for the reminder, Master."

Taishang Laojun nodded with satisfaction. He secretly admired in his heart: This disciple's understanding is indeed extraordinary! (End of this chapter)
