A great adventure in the world of immortal cultivation

Familiar introverted disciple: (secretly clenching his fist) I, I must emulate Senior Brother Xiao!

Sima Wu: Humph...

Lin Yuxuan: Xiao Huohuo, you are worthy of being the man I have my eyes on... I am really looking forward to the day when we can fight again.

Romeo: Hehe, I'm really looking forward to the day when we can meet again~

Xiao Huohuo: (annoyed) Lao Luo, fuck you! And who is this introverted disciple anyway?

Han Buli: I flipped through it and it seems to be the one that you, Lao Xiao, created in a jeep during the outer sect competition.

Xiao Huohuo:?

Joan of Arc: Oh, I remember now. (laughing)

KP: Elsewhere, Qin Feng, the loser, was also awakened by a spell cast by an enthusiastic disciple. Looking at Xiao Huohuo in the crowd, the last bit of color drained from his face. Afterwards, Qin Feng, having failed to escape, trembled as he signed a letter of commitment to pay a debt of 4000 spirit stones in front of everyone's "witnesses," and then left the arena in disgrace.

Romeo: Look at Qin Feng, he looks like a dog~

Jeanne: I suddenly feel a little pitiful. (Pinching nose)

Han Buli: The evaluation is still too moral.

Xiao Huohuo: Is that pitiful? He's holding a water-attributed flying sword that's even better than yours.

Jeanne: Damn! I have to find a chance to blow him up!

Han Buli: There are morals, but not many.

KP: Okay, the gambling fight is over. Xiao Huohuo, you have received an IOU for 4000 yuan. You can go to the Juling Pavilion to cash it in batches later.

Xiao Huohuo: What? These spirit stones are easy to earn, aren't they? Old Han, you've only earned this much in a month and a half? Did you slack off while working?

Han Buli: (half annoyed)

Joan of Arc: You naughty brother, watch your face.

Xiao Huohuo: Hehe, anyway, this time I earned some spirit stones and kept my dignity as a man, so cool! I'm going to Baicao Valley to find Sneib to report the good news, and by the way, officially start my wonderful alchemy career!

Han Buli: Alas, it’s a pity for my Xun’er. She was given to the wrong person after all.

Romeo: My heart has been taken away by my sister Xun'er. Perhaps there will be no more sorrow or joy in this life.

KP: I am planning to make a special story about Xiao Xun'er If later. Does anyone want to read it?

Romeo: Yeah!

Han Buli: Great!

Xiao Huohuo: ??? Prohibited! (annoyed)

……

KP: Okay, the scene shifts to Baicao Valley, in front of the gloomy cave. Sneib looks at Xiao Huohuo, who is walking towards him from a distance with a smug look on his face, and snorts coldly as usual.

Romeo: Sneib couldn't help but hum at the thought of having a top-notch guinea pig like Lao Xiao under his command.

Han Buli: The humming sound from the groove is still chasing me!

Xiao Huohuo: (half annoyed) I'm going to go up and tell Elder Sineb to thank him for the elixir. I'm glad that Xiao Huohuo has fulfilled his mission!

KP: Upon hearing this, Sneib frowned in disgust.

Snabe: Tsk, get that smug idiotic look off your face, or I'll show you what it feels like to be grinning like an idiot for a month straight.

Xiao Huohuo:well-behaved.jpg.

Sneib: Humph, it’s just a victory at the fourth level of Qi Refining. I don’t know what there is to be proud of.

Xiao Huohuo: You can't say that, Elder Si. Qin Feng is not an ordinary Qi Refining Level 4. He has Elder Li backing him up. He has secret techniques, magical instruments, and mechanisms. He is much more difficult to deal with than an ordinary Qi Refining Level 6!

Sineb: That’s not even the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Xiao Huohuo: ...

Han Buli: Elder Si is right.

Romeo: Elder Si is right.

Joan of Arc: Elder Si is right. If you keep trying to show off, you might as well get struck by lightning.

Xiao Huohuo: (half annoyed) Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore. I told Snebu that the ten-day drug test we agreed on earlier is over, so I can learn the art of alchemy from you now.

Snab: ...

KP: After hearing what Xiao Huohuo said, Sineb was silent for a moment, then he sighed deeply, as if he was regretting why he made such a promise in the first place.

Han Buli: Music.

Snab: ...Come in.

KP: But in the end, true to his word, Elder Sineb returned and entered the cave. Xiao Huohuo hurriedly followed him, arriving at the familiar medicinal material processing table. Then, with a wave of his hand, a massive black cauldron, 1.6 meters tall, flew out of his Qiankun bag and crashed to the ground. Sineb waved again, and a dark purple spiritual energy flowed into the cauldron, transforming into spiritual flames and beginning to burn.

Joan of Arc:?

Snebu: Although I promised to teach you the art of alchemy, it is my personal principle not to waste too much time on fools, so I will only demonstrate it to you once. If you want to learn more alchemy techniques, you have to exchange them with performance, understand?

Xiao Huohuo: I understand!

Sneib: In addition, you are nominally just a registered disciple used by me to test medicine. If you cause trouble outside, you are forbidden to mention my name. Understand?

Xiao Huohuo: I understand, I understand. Don’t worry, Director Si!

KP: Seeing Xiao Huohuo nodding his head like crazy, Sneib's brows furrowed even deeper.

Sneib: Humph... Next, I will refine a furnace of Qi-nourishing Pills, just wait and see.

KP: With that, Sineb grabbed a handful of dried ginseng slices from the table and quickly ground them into a powder in his mortar. He then took a handful of soul-enriching grass and crushed it to extract its juice. Finally, Sineb placed the ginseng powder and herb juice into the alchemy furnace, manipulating the spiritual flame to evenly roast them in dozens of medicinal slurries. As impurities were continuously burned away, the lumps of medicinal slurry in the furnace began to round and condense, and a fresh medicinal fragrance wafted through the cave.

Sneib: Good.

KP: Precisely controlling the time it takes for the pills to form, Sineb opened the pill furnace in time. The next second, dozens of extremely high-quality Qi-nourishing pills were pushed out by the spiritual flame and fell exactly into the jade bottles that had been placed in advance. Not a single bit of spiritual energy was leaked or wasted.

Xiao Huohuo: Cool! This is what I want to learn!

Sineb: This is medicine refining. When you can successfully refine the Qi-nourishing Pill, come to me to learn other things.

KP: After saying that, Sineb put the 1.6 Zhenlu back into the Qiankun bag, and then threw the Qiankun bag directly to you, indicating that you can leave.

Joan of Arc: ???

Xiao Huohuo obtained the [Cast Iron Pill Furnace] (a common pill furnace in the alchemy world, used by beginners, with a maximum capacity of 10 pills per furnace, worth around 300 spirit stones)

Xiao Huohuo: I’m moved to tears.

Han Buli: The most duplicitous episode.

Joan of Arc: Tsundere Sneib is so cute.

KP: Generally speaking, the process for refining herbs and refining artifacts is similar. You first use the [Medicine Blending] skill on each ingredient (subject to level constraints), then use the furnace to condense the elixir. Each step consumes 1 action point and cannot be interrupted once started. Furthermore, refining allows you to refine multiple elixirs at once, but the larger the number, the higher the negative bonus (number x 2, base success rate / 2, which can be stacked). If you fail, all the ingredients will be wasted, so proceed with caution.

Romeo: Wow, anyone still supporting the Dodan movement? That's cool.

Han Buli: Hiss... My spirit stone. (I have a bad feeling.)

Xiao Huohuo: Don’t worry, Lao Han, you will make money.

KP: Basic success rate of pill condensation = (Willpower + Skill + 1d100)/3. Xiao Huohuo, you roll the dice.

Xiao Huohuo: Okay, watch me!

萧火火:凝丹成功率，（65＋65＋【1d100:56】）／3=62％

Xiao Huohuo: Today is the 12th day, and there are still 28 days left before Lao Luo comes out of seclusion. I will buy 28 days' worth of alchemy materials first, and then make a Qi-nourishing Pill every day to improve my proficiency in alchemy. The rest of my energy will be used to refine Qi, to see if I can break through to the 7th level by chance.

KP: Yes, a dried ginseng slice costs 2 spirit stones per point, and a piece of soul-enriching grass costs 5 spirit stones per point, for a total of 196 spirit stones. Your current realm is Qi Refining Level 6. Harmonizing the dried ginseng slices will give you a 20 bonus (guaranteed success), and harmonizing the soul-enriching grass will give you a 10 bonus. You can start dicing.

Xiao Huohuo: Drug blending, [28d100:68, 41…6, 44]/90, all successful.

Dan Ning, [28d100:11, 41...41, 74]/62, 19 successes, 9 failures.

Han Buli: 28 times, 90% success rate? Is that correct?

Xiao Huohuo: That’s right.

KP: So, during these 28 days, Xiao Huohuo, with your superb medicinal blending skills, successfully refined 19 Qi-nourishing Pills. You also gained 19 opportunities to improve your skill proficiency.

Xiao Huohuo: Proficiency improved, [19d100:86, 58...15, 92]/50, great success 2, success 7, failure 10.

KP: Skill proficiency increased by (2*2+7) = 11 points.

Xiao Huohuo: Drug blending (80% → 91%), pill formation (62% → 73%)

Jeanne: Damn, how come your secondary class proficiency is increasing so fast? (half annoyed)

Xiao Huohuo: Do ​​you understand the value of an initial 80% success rate for a skill? (Hands on hips)

Han Buli: There wasn't a single major failure in the 75 judgments, and there were two major successes. Lao Xiao, I can't say what the composition is. (Pinching nose)

Xiao Huohuo: Don’t ask. If you ask, it means Xiao Kai is not considered Kai.

KP: Then, there's only Qi Refining judgment left. Xiao Huohuo, you can roll the total value first.

Xiao Huohuo: Ok, since I only have 2 actions left to refine Qi every day, I won’t take the Qi-nourishing Pills.

Han Buli: The prodigal son has finally grown up. (Tears)

萧火火:炼气获得灵气值，【28d20:2＋5……11＋20】*0.4=348*0.4=139。

KP: Starting from the 6th level of Qi Refining, if you fail to break through, you will directly lose 50% of your spiritual energy value. If the spiritual energy value is 139... Xiao Huohuo, you have to roll twice to break through.

Xiao Huohuo: Same old rules, take the Soul Gathering Pill! Break it for me!

萧火火:突破至炼气7层，【2d100:33，97】／20，全部木大。

Xiao Huohuo: Quack!

Romeo: Hehe, Lao Xiao, don't even think about running away~

Han Buli: Dice girl has become a nomad.

Joan of Arc: Dice girl is nomadic!

KP:那么，萧火火你的四十天就到此结束了，最终的修为是炼气六层（139＋48-50-50=87％）

Xiao Huohuo: It’s so difficult for me.

Chapter 1 If Line Xiao Xun'er's Day (Part 1)

KP: Background: During a gambling match in the arena, Qin Feng's inner cosmos exploded, achieving a series of powerful victories that made him as powerful as a demon. Xiao Huohuo fought tooth and nail, but was unable to defeat him, ultimately ending up in a tragic defeat. For a time, Qin Feng's fame soared, and Xiao Huohuo, the loser, met her end. Not only was she burdened with a massive debt of 4000 spirit stones, she was also forced to embark on a life of cross-dressing.

Xiao Huohuo: Damn it, Old Han and Old Luo, you can’t… you can’t Damn do this!

Han Buli: Hehehe, it's too late to regret now! Lao Luo, let's go!

Romeo: Hehe, I'm going into the house. Darling~?

Xiao Huohuo: Quack! Stinky sister, save me!

Joan of Arc: (pinching nose) The boys’ dormitory, there’s nothing we can do to save it, so I’m leaving.

Xiao Huohuo: Damn!

KP: Unfortunately, under the coercion of Han Buli and Romeo, the residential area at midnight suddenly turned into the starting point of a fierce killing. The strange screams and cries that rang out from time to time caused the nearby disciples to reduce their Qi refining efficiency by 50% while they were unknowingly in a state of meditation.

KP: Romeo dice disguise, give you 3 chances, take the highest result.

Romeo: Disguise, [3d100:28, 14, 90]/60, difficult success 2, failure 1.

Han Buli: It's not a big success? Lao Luo's purity has been greatly reduced!

Romeo: There's nothing I can do. Lao Xiao's resistance is too fierce. (Sad)

KP: So, after a night of tossing and turning, the next morning, Han Buli and Romeo pushed open the door of Xiao Huohuo's room. Although their faces were covered with bruises and scars, their smiles were exceptionally bright. This strange sight also attracted the attention of the nearby disciples who had woken up in the morning.

Han Buli: This is a necessary sacrifice for my sister Xun'er!

Romeo: This is a necessary sacrifice for my sister Xun'er!

Jeanne: Nantong, the anti-heaven. So where is the stinky younger brother?

KP: Then, amidst the urging of Han Buli and Romeo, the room fell silent for a moment, followed by the appearance of a familiar yet unfamiliar figure—a tall girl, thin yet upright, wearing a slightly shorter white dress that revealed her forearms and ankles, adding a touch of heroic spirit. The girl wore light makeup, highlighting her delicate features. Her long black hair draped casually over her shoulders, her delicate locks wielding a subtle gleam beneath her gentle eyes. Coupled with the strange black ruler behind her, nearly as long as her height, she exuded a mysterious and powerful aura that drew people in and piqued their curiosity.

Han Buli: Ah, it’s Xiao Xun’er, I think so.

Romeo: Quack! That's so pretty! Even if I die, it's worth it!
