Chapter 202 Ling Yun's Melodramatic Past

Soon, Su Yueling's pale face regained some color, and her chapped skin began to improve.

Seeing this, Chu Sheng finally felt relieved.

He originally wanted to chase after the masked man, but after hesitating for a moment, he decided to wait until Su Yueling woke up.

Bored by the bedside, Chu Sheng started asking questions through the little myna bird.

"Little Lingyun, you just said you know alchemy? Or did you learn it from your master? What's going on?"

Ling Yun seemed afraid of being overheard and whispered:

"I can tell you, but don't tell my master, okay?"

Chu Sheng immediately made a dog-head emo face:
"Don't worry, I won't tell that old Taoist priest."

Ling Yun slowly spoke:
"Actually, my master's Taoist skills are average; he is more skilled in medicine and pharmacology. In addition, he also has a book called 'Basic Alchemy' that I don't know where it came from."

"My master has always refused to let me see this book, he treasures it very much. He said he would teach it to me after I reached the Foundation Establishment stage, but I couldn't resist. Every day, I would secretly take the book out to read while my master was sleeping."

"Brother Buchai, you've misunderstood. Alchemy isn't as magical as it seems. There's no alchemy furnace or real fire involved. It's not much different from brewing medicine or making pills, except that you need to incorporate spiritual power and cultivate spiritual energy. The most valuable part of that basic alchemy manual is actually the few medicinal prescriptions inside."

"For example, what I just gave Sister Susu was a Rejuvenation Pill. Don't underestimate it just because it's a basic pill. It contains more than a dozen extremely rare medicinal herbs. It took me more than half a year to refine just two of them."

"Of course, advanced alchemy techniques might require alchemy furnaces or something, but that's all I know how to practice right now."

"That kind of alchemy technique, even if it exists, could only have existed before the end of the Dharma era. Of course, I don't know if a family like the Qin family still has it now."

Ling Yun is usually a man of few words, but when it comes to his area of ​​expertise, he rattles off a whole bunch of things.

Alchemy?
Regardless of whether alchemy is as miraculous as legend suggests, the Rejuvenation Pill produced is indeed powerful, and this is just the most common type of pill.

It seems that even in the Dharma-ending Age, the path of cultivation still possesses many wondrous aspects.

After hearing the origin of the Spring Elixir, Chu Sheng initially had no particular thoughts.

However, suddenly, the system's voice sounded again:

[Main quest related to this event has been triggered]

[Mission Name: Earth's Spiritual Energy Revival Project - Phase Side Quest: First Refinement of a Basic Elixir.]

[Task Introduction: This task is an instant-triggered task that advances the main storyline of Earth's spiritual energy revival. The host will receive corresponding rewards upon completion.]

[Task Requirements: Successfully refine any one type of qualified basic elixir: such as Rejuvenation Pill, Spirit Gathering Pill, Body Tempering Pill, etc.]

[Task-related rewards: Alchemy Master Talent, Alchemy Saint Skill]

[Task rewards depend on task completion rate]

[Task Time Limit: Three Months]

What?
Another quest has been triggered?

Last time it was drawing talismans, this time it's refining elixirs?
What is this system trying to do?

Do you want to train me, a husky who destroys the house, into an all-around expert in cultivation?
Regardless, it's always good to have a reward, and it's always beneficial to acquire more skills.

The problem is, to become a master alchemist, one must first refine a basic elixir. But before becoming a master alchemist, one knows nothing.

Just now, he came into contact with elixirs for the first time.

As Chu Sheng pondered this, his dog-like eyes involuntarily fixed on Ling Yun.

Ling Yun suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and took half a step back, saying:

"Brother Buchai, what are you going to do?"

Mynah:

"Nothing happened, why are you so nervous?"

"By the way, didn't you just say you refined two Rejuvenation Pills? How come there's only one left? Who ate the other one?"

Ling Yun suddenly felt a little shy when he heard the question. "Hehe, Brother Buchai, there's one left, I gave it to my fiancée."

"What? You have a fiancée?"

"Shh, don't expose me, bro. Actually, it's like this: once when I was coming down the mountain, I met an old man who was seeking medical help everywhere and was about to die. I didn't want to help him at first, but his granddaughter said that if I saved her grandfather, she would marry me, so I gave her that pill."

"Brother Buchai, you have no idea how beautiful that girl is. Her cheeks are so rosy. She said that when she turns sixteen in two years, I can go to her house to propose and get engaged!"

……

Chu Sheng was speechless as he watched Ling Yun's animated expression.

That silly kid, he's probably been scammed. If he goes back to their door in two years, they won't even acknowledge him. Isn't this a classic trope of a master descending from the mountain + a modern-day broken engagement?

However, he has no say in Ling Yun's affairs right now.

The most urgent task is to get my hands on that basic alchemy manual.
"Ling Yun, can you recite that basic alchemy technique from memory?"

Ling Yun nodded subconsciously.

"Then, can you write it down from memory and show it to me?"

Ling Yun nodded, then shook his head frantically:
"No, no, this is Master's treasure. It's one thing for me to secretly learn it, but if he finds out that I'm passing it on to others, he'll definitely beat me to death!"

"Lingyun, if you don't tell me, I'll tell your master about you secretly learning the techniques, and about you secretly going down the mountain to give away pills for free. At that time, even if your master doesn't beat you to death, he'll break your leg."

Ling Yun's eyes widened, and he looked aggrieved.
"Brother Buchai, you can't do this! Didn't you say you wouldn't tell?"

Chu Sheng tilted his head:
"Didn't you see my doge face at that moment?"

“Lingyun, tell me your basic alchemy techniques, and I promise I won’t pass them on to anyone else this time. Also, I’ll prepare a dowry for you. Think about it, you’re going to get married in two years, so you’ll need a dowry, right? These days, dowries can easily cost hundreds of thousands. Do you have that kind of money?”

Under Chu Sheng's devilish whispers, Ling Yun's expression gradually became hesitant, and two faces simultaneously appeared in his mind:
One was a shrewd, experienced face.

One of them was the girl's rosy, tender face.

Finally, he tilted his head and said:

"Brother Buchai, are you serious?"

"Woof! (It's true!)"

"Okay, I'll write!"

……

……

……

Not long after being tricked into practicing basic alchemy, Su Yueling finally woke up.

"Don't demolish it!"

"Thank goodness, you're alright."

"It's a pity that the spirit stone was stolen by that alien race. We won it with great difficulty."

Chu Sheng shook his head:
"Spirit stones don't matter, but this damn alien race has really angered me this time."

Chu Sheng's expression changed from playful to serious.

A husky's face can look quite serious when it's serious.
Actually, the reason he and Ling Yun were discussing the pills was simply to wait for Su Yueling to wake up and make sure she was alright.

Otherwise, he would have chased after them immediately!

This is the first time in so long that Su Yueling has suffered such a serious injury!
Su Yueling sensed Chu Sheng's emotions and said with some concern:

"If you don't dismantle it, what are you going to do?"

Chu Sheng looked up and held up the dog melon:
"Heh, I won't dismantle it. I won't let the same person escape from me twice!"
