I'm Just Making Up The Exercises, My Disciple, Have You Really Mastered Them?

Chapter 106: Mastery of Basic Alchemy

Outside the manor, in the mountains and forests, Su Lingxiu was digging a hole. She was going to bury Kou Ruozhi.

"Kou Ruozhi, you really have no shame. I agreed to become a Heavenly Woman, but it was a mutual agreement. You were supposed to provide the resources I needed, and I would use my medical skills to treat the poor and sick."

"You used me to attract people and promote your cause. How audacious of you."

Kou Ruozhi was panicking as he watched the hole getting deeper. He hurriedly defended himself, "Heavenly Woman, it was just a temporary measure. It was for the sake of my teachings. I had to deceive him. I didn't really intend to use you to attract people."

"Besides, Heavenly Woman, you are so powerful. How could I dare to use you?"

Su Lingxiu sneered, "Do you think I would believe that? Since the first time I saw you, I knew you were a cunning person. If it weren't for the opportunity to obtain more precious medicine and the information network of the Heavenly Woman Sect, would I have agreed to become a Heavenly Woman?"

She agreed to become a Heavenly Woman not only because it provided her with a place to stay, but also because it gave her access to information about the Qi and Wu countries in a timely manner.

The Heavenly Woman Sect provided her with various medicinal materials to meet her needs, and she used her medical skills to treat the poor and sick. The Heavenly Woman Sect used this to promote their teachings and gather support from the people.

As for rebellion and such, Su Lingxiu didn't care about those things. After all, she came to the border wilderness to seek refuge.

Moreover, with the strength of the Heavenly Woman Sect, there were no major disasters or difficulties in the Qi and Wu countries. They couldn't accomplish anything significant and couldn't stir up any waves.

"Heavenly Woman, Xu Yan is truly exceptional. Besides him, no one else is worthy of being a Heavenly Woman. I'm doing this for your own good!"

Kou Ruozhi became more and more panicked.

Su Lingxiu sneered, "Who gave you the authority to make decisions for me?"

The hole was already dug.

"Shi Er, throw him in!"

Without hesitation, Shi Er picked up Kou Ruozhi and threw him into the hole.

Kou Ruozhi glared angrily at Shi Er. That damn bastard didn't even try to plead for him, and he even used such force!

Su Lingxiu quickly started burying the soil.

Kou Ruozhi's face turned pale with fear.

She really intended to bury him alive!

"Heavenly Woman, spare me! Heavenly Woman, spare me! I won't dare anymore. I was just deceiving Xu Yan. It wasn't real. You have to believe me..."

Su Lingxiu buried the soil quickly. Her skilled movements made Shi Er's eyelids twitch. How many people had she buried to become so proficient?

He remembered the rumors about Su Lingxiu persuading evildoers to stop their wicked ways. There were probably dozens, if not hundreds, of them, all buried by her.

"Shi Er, help me plead for mercy!"

Kou Ruozhi pleaded in panic.

Shi Er hesitated, wanting to plead for mercy, but Su Lingxiu's gaze made him quickly shut his mouth. If he pleaded for Kou Ruozhi and angered Su Lingxiu, he might not have any elixirs to eat in the future.

The soil was already up to Kou Ruozhi's neck. He was completely panicked, desperately thinking of a way to save his life.

"Divine Fire Stone, Divine Fire Stone! Heavenly Woman, if I die, who will be responsible for mining the Divine Fire Stone? The old Divine Fire Stone mine is almost depleted, and only I know about the new one within the sect."

He hurriedly shouted.

Su Lingxiu paused and looked at him, "You know about a new Divine Fire Stone mine?"

"Yes, yes, I accidentally discovered it. The reserves in this mine are even greater!"

Kou Ruozhi nodded frantically.

Su Lingxiu picked up a reddish-brown pill and threw it to Shi Er, saying, "Feed it to him."

"Alright!"

Shi Er nodded and, under Kou Ruozhi's furious gaze, opened his mouth and forced the pill down his throat.

"This is the Heart-Melting Pill. It will cause a reaction every six months. If there is no antidote, it will slowly melt your heart until you die completely in half a month."

"I won't go into the details of the pain involved."

Su Lingxiu sneered.

Kou Ruozhi's face turned pale.

"I am a Martial Artist, and I am also a Dan Medicine Martial Artist. I have many skills, so you better not deceive me. As long as I give you a task, you must complete it, otherwise... hmph!"

Su Lingxiu picked up the shovel and returned to the manor.

"Heavenly Woman, please let me out."

Kou Ruozhi pleaded anxiously.

"Shi Er, remember to dig out Kou Ruozhi after twelve hours."

Su Lingxiu instructed.

After returning to the manor, Su Lingxiu excitedly resumed alchemy.

The supply problem of the Divine Fire Stone was finally solved, and the problem of alchemical combustion was resolved. The only thing lacking now was medicinal herbs.

"Unfortunately, there are no Spirit Medicines in the Border Wilderness!"

Su Lingxiu sighed.

The pills refined from Spirit Medicines would undoubtedly have astonishing effects and could even be effective for those in the Innate Realm.

Before alchemy, Su Lingxiu picked up a draft and carefully reviewed it, going over the previous alchemy summaries and some new ideas in her mind.

Then, she started the fire for alchemy.

Zhou Ying served by the side, and Shi Er's face was filled with excitement as they waited for the pills to be completed.

In the following days...

After Su Lingxiu finished her cultivation, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to alchemy. The Qi and Blood Pill still hadn't been successfully refined, but the summary of alchemy techniques became more and more refined.

All the failed pills were given to Shi Er to consume.

They couldn't be wasted.

Shi Er was extremely excited, feeling that the growth rate of his Qi and blood had increased significantly.

Xu Yan and Meng Chong occasionally returned from the hillside to observe Su Lingxiu's alchemy.

Several days passed without any Grandmaster attacks.

Zhou Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief, as their whereabouts hadn't been leaked.

On this day, Li Xuan looked at Su Lingxiu, who was cultivating, and fell into contemplation once again.

"Something doesn't seem right. She's about to temper her Golden Bones."

Su Lingxiu's cultivation speed was unexpected.

Now, the courtyard of the manor was no longer empty but filled with various flowers and trees, with blossoming flowers and a faint floral fragrance lingering.

These were all planted by Su Lingxiu.

"This girl, could she have some special physique?"

Looking at Su Lingxiu cultivating in the midst of the flowers, Li Xuan suddenly had a thought.

"Moreover, this special physique happens to be perfectly suited for the cultivation of the Dan Medicine Martial Dao, which is why her cultivation speed is so fast."

Li Xuan felt that this possibility was quite high.

"At the age of four, she learned medicine, and at the age of six, she treated and saved people..."

Thinking about Su Lingxiu's monstrous talent in medicine, he couldn't help but be amazed.

After finishing cultivation, Su Lingxiu continued with alchemy.

"We are close to successfully refining the pills. The alchemical technique should be comprehended soon."

Li Xuan looked forward to it.

Three days later...

Su Lingxiu confidently started a new furnace of alchemy, refining the Qi and Blood Pill once again.

Xu Yan and Meng Chong came back to watch their junior sister's alchemy.

According to their junior sister, she would definitely succeed in refining it this time.

The Divine Fire Stone was ignited, and the pill furnace was heated. After repeated summaries and practice, Su Lingxiu's steps in alchemy had become extremely proficient.

She put the medicinal herbs into the pill furnace, sensing the temperature of the furnace. Her hands rhythmically tapped, causing the power to resonate within the furnace. Her techniques were systematic and rhythmic.

This was the alchemical technique she had summarized through repeated alchemy.

Finally, the alchemy reached the final stage, Core Condensation.

"This time, I will definitely succeed!"

Su Lingxiu clenched her delicate fist, filled with excitement.

Bang!

She opened the lid of the pill furnace, and as the furnace tilted, three pills spilled out.

Xu Yan and Meng Chong eagerly approached to take a look, only to see a black pill with some unevenness in Su Lingxiu's fair palm.

The other two pills were reddish-brown, round and smooth, with a faint fragrance lingering.

Success!

"Congratulations, junior sister, on successfully refining the pills!" Xu Yan and Meng Chong exclaimed excitedly.

"Hehe, I finally succeeded!" Su Lingxiu jumped up, her face full of excitement, her cheeks flushed.

Casually throwing the failed pill to Shi Er, she took the other two pills and ran eagerly to her master.

At the moment Su Lingxiu successfully refined the pills.

Li Xuan, sitting in his chair, saw a golden light appear.

He became instantly excited.

"Your disciple Su Lingxiu has comprehended the alchemy technique you taught and successfully refined the pills. Your foundation in alchemy has reached perfection."

Alchemy techniques appeared in his mind.

However, this was only the basic alchemy technique!

"This is only the basic alchemy technique, which means there is still room for improvement in alchemy."

Li Xuan suddenly had a thought, "If I pass on the complete alchemy technique and the basic alchemy technique I obtained to her, can she comprehend a higher level of the medical alchemy technique and alchemy?"

"If that's possible, then wouldn't I be able to repeatedly benefit from this method and gain more advantages?"

As this thought emerged, Li Xuan became more and more convinced that it was worth a try.

The medical alchemy technique and alchemy were different from the martial dao techniques.

Once his disciples comprehended them, he had already mastered the martial dao techniques, so there was no need for him to teach them.

However, the medical alchemy technique and alchemy were different. Su Lingxiu had only comprehended the rudiments, while he had obtained the complete and perfected alchemy technique.

If he passed it on to his disciple, it would reduce the time for her to perfect the medical alchemy technique and alchemy, allowing her to comprehend and reach a higher level faster.

"Perhaps it's feasible!"

Li Xuan was excited. If it worked, besides practicing the martial dao techniques, he could continuously benefit from the medical alchemy technique and other methods.

Su Lingxiu excitedly approached him, her eyes sparkling with excitement that she couldn't hide.

Opening her fair little hand, she said, "Master, I have successfully refined the Qi and Blood Pills."

Looking at the two reddish-brown pills in her fair palm, Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, "Well done. I am pleased that you were able to comprehend the basic alchemy technique in such a short time."

"From today onwards, you are truly my disciple."

With her master's approval and officially becoming his disciple, Su Lingxiu finally let go of the worry that she would be expelled from the sect.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Now that you have comprehended the basic alchemy technique, I will show you a demonstration today!"

Li Xuan smiled.

It was time to show his strength as a master.

Upon hearing this, Su Lingxiu became even more excited. Her master was going to personally refine pills!

Xu Yan and Meng Chong were also filled with anticipation.

The master was actually going to personally refine pills?

Li Xuan raised his hand and the pill furnace flew over.

"Today, I will demonstrate to you how the basic alchemy technique works."

"Yes, Master!"

Su Lingxiu stared at the alchemy furnace with wide, bright eyes.

"Let's refine the Qi and Blood Pill," Li Xuan said, reaching out and grabbing a complete set of medicinal ingredients for the Qi and Blood Pill.

With the alchemy furnace held in his left hand, True Qi surged forth, transforming into flames.

Before long, the alchemy furnace became scorching hot.

Li Xuan put the medicinal ingredients into the alchemy furnace and sat on the chair without getting up.

The alchemy furnace floated in mid-air, surrounded by True Qi, spinning round and round, beginning the process of alchemy.

Su Lingxiu's face was filled with astonishment.

Is this basic alchemy?

At this moment, she felt ashamed that she hadn't even comprehended the basics of alchemy.

Watching her master refine pills, it was as if he was effortlessly plucking them out of thin air, flowing smoothly and freely.

Moreover, her master sat on the chair, looking relaxed and at ease.

Xu Yan and Meng Chong were also shocked. Was basic alchemy really this amazing?

What about more advanced alchemy? How incredible would that be?

They couldn't even imagine!

Shi Er and Zhou Ying stared wide-eyed, unable to close them.

The shock in their hearts was indescribable.

Li Xuan looked at the expressions of his disciples and secretly felt proud. See, this is the power of your master.

Bang!

The lid of the alchemy furnace opened, and twelve pills flew out.

Li Xuan raised his hand and caught the pills.

The pills were round and glossy, with a condensed pill fragrance. At first glance, they far surpassed the pills Su Lingxiu had refined.

With a wave of his hand, the alchemy furnace returned to the alchemy stove.

"Do you understand?" Li Xuan asked Su Lingxiu.

"I remember the techniques, but my Martial Dao hasn't even started, so I can't do it like you, Master," Su Lingxiu said, feeling ashamed.

"Don't just remember the techniques. What I demonstrated was not just the techniques, but the profound principles and path of alchemy. You need to comprehend them," Li Xuan solemnly taught.

To imitate blindly and only learn one's own techniques, how could alchemy be elevated?

"Yes, Master, I understand!" Su Lingxiu respectfully said.

Li Xuan casually gave the Qi and Blood Pills to Xu Yan. They were what he needed and could be used for his parents and family to cultivate.

As for Meng Chong, he was already close to reaching the peak of Qi and Blood cultivation, and he didn't need pill assistance.

"Disciple, I will pass on to you the basic alchemy techniques and the basic alchemy physician manual. You must remember them well," Li Xuan said after showing off his skills, and then began to teach Su Lingxiu the basic alchemy techniques and the alchemy physician manual.

There were many pill formulas in the alchemy physician manual, and the theories behind the combinations of pill formulas were clearly marked, providing inspiration for Su Lingxiu to continue comprehending the path of alchemy.
