Chapter 36 Mastering the Great Dao of Pill Refining!

Having obtained the new cultivation technique, Xiao Yan was extremely eager for news about the Strange Flame. If Xiao Chong didn't bring him any information after going out, he would really be in trouble.

While Xiao Chong was chatting with Xiao Yan, not far away, Yao Lao finally found suitable medicinal herbs from the medicinal fields covering the mountain and made preparations for alchemy.

Seeing Xiao Yan standing beside him with an expectant look on his face, Yao Lao also smiled.

"Since this is a demonstration for you, then the pill I'm going to refine is a seventh-grade Rejuvenating Pill."

"Now, watch closely!"

After saying that, the old alchemist took out his alchemy furnace, the Black Demon.

The white soul also sat cross-legged in mid-air, its pale white flames carrying an icy chill.

The flickering flames also looked like a white skull.

Is this the Bone Spirit Cold Flame? It truly lives up to its reputation as a different kind of flame.

Even with Xiao Chong's current strength as a Dou Zun, he could still feel an unusually chilling aura emanating from the flames.

"The first step in alchemy is to use one's own flames to extract and refine the energy from the medicinal herbs."

"In this step, the quality of the flame is also crucial. The slightest carelessness will cause the energy in the medicinal herbs to dissipate and turn them into ashes. A powerful strange fire can also speed up this step."

The old apothecary flicked his finger, sending the flame into the alchemy furnace, while also explaining the importance of alchemy to Xiao Chong and the other man.

Subsequently, within that enormous cauldron, fiery energy began to continuously overflow and expand, only to contract and condense under the influence of the raging flames.

Alchemy is indeed a mysterious and profound matter.

During this process, Xiao Yan also watched Yao Lao's alchemy process with great concentration, almost without blinking, as if he was afraid of missing some important step.

It's clear that he's very interested in alchemy.

However, Xiao Chong's expression was somewhat strange.

Because of his extraordinary comprehension, Xiao Chong began to calculate as he observed the old alchemist refining pills.

After watching the old alchemist refine pills for several hours, a series of sounds finally popped into Xiao Chong's mind.

[Your comprehension is extraordinary. By observing Elder Yao refining a seventh-grade elixir, you have grasped the Great Dao of Alchemy.]

From this day forward, you can achieve your martial arts goals through alchemy; from now on, refining any elixir will be a piece of cake.

[Your comprehension is extraordinary. By observing the Black Demon alchemy cauldron of the Old Master Yao, you have grasped the importance of the alchemy furnace to the art of alchemy.]

[Complete the crafting of a divine-level alchemy furnace, the Eight Trigrams Furnace of Laozi.]

Upon hearing the notification sound in his mind, Xiao Chong was immediately overjoyed.

Indeed, one can only learn more by watching a high-level alchemist refine pills!

With this, he not only gained control of the Great Dao of Alchemy, but from then on, his alchemy skills could be said to have soared to new heights.

At the same time, you can also personally forge Laozi's alchemy furnace and the Bagua furnace!

Although the materials for making this Bagua Furnace are also hard to find, Xiao Chong would naturally forge it whenever he had the chance.

Since we have already obtained the Great Dao of Pill Refining, there is naturally no need for us to stay here any longer.

The two of them had been in the medicinal herb field for almost ten hours. If they didn't go out and show their faces soon, the Xiao family would probably be searching for them all over the mountains again.

Seeing Xiao Chong getting up to leave, Xiao Yan was taken aback and asked.

"You're leaving? Aren't you going to watch Elder Yao refine pills?"

Yao Chen seemed to be planning to say something as well, but he was currently at the most crucial moment in refining pills and couldn't afford to lose focus.

"When it comes to alchemy, you're still the most suitable person in the family, so I don't need to look into it."

"I know that pill lightning will fall after a seventh-grade pill is successfully refined, but pill lightning will not condense in my medicine field space unless you refine a ninth-grade pill."

"As for the herbs in the herb field, feel free to use them. They can be replanted in just a few days at most."

After giving this reminder, Xiao Chong got up and left the herb field, leaving behind a seal that forbade anyone to leave but not enter.

Refining a seventh-grade pill takes at least several dozen days, and for the habitually lazy Xiao Chong, he couldn't wait that long.

With so much free time, why not go to a brothel and listen to music?

Seeing Xiao Chong leave so casually, Yao Chen and Xiao Yan, who were still refining pills, couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

"What a strange person."

Yao Chen didn't dare to be distracted. He could only glance at the exit of the herb field before continuing to refine pills.

After watching Xiao Chong leave, Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao again and remembered the cultivation technique that Xiao Chong had casually tossed to him. A certain thought arose in his mind once more.

"Medicine...no, teacher, let me ask you a question. Do you think if I became your disciple, I would have a chance to surpass this person in the future?"

"Surpassing him...that's a bit difficult, but not impossible!"

While controlling the situation inside the alchemy furnace with his soul power, Yao Lao responded without turning his head.

"This young man's talent and strength are indeed unparalleled in the world, but it is not impossible to surpass him."

"Although your talent is incredibly amazing, you have a carefree and leisurely temperament, lacking the hard work and diligence expected of a peerless genius."

"Even if this person's talent is truly astonishing, as long as you persevere and work hard, perhaps one day you will surpass your older brother."

As a mentor, one's ability to make empty promises is naturally very strong!

Furthermore, Yao Lao was confident; as the Venerable Yao, he almost never doubted his own abilities.

Don't be fooled by Xiao Chong's current strength as a one-star Dou Zun. Yao Lao knows that the higher the level of a Dou Qi expert, the more difficult it becomes. It depends not only on talent, but also on opportunities, comprehension, and the degree of hard work and effort.

Xiao Chong's lack of interest in alchemy meant he missed out on a crucial opportunity, and his personality was certainly not that of a daredevil.

In Yao Lao's view, the path of cultivation is inherently a struggle against heaven and earth, a fight for opportunities amidst life and death under the heavens, and Xiao Chong is clearly not the kind of person who would do such a thing.

Unfortunately, the old apothecary underestimated Xiao Chong's extraordinary comprehension. He never expected that Xiao Chong would create a completely new alchemy technique after only a few hours of studying.

This difference is like having a tech guru while someone else is an elder of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect...
