Chapter 2073 The Vengeful Young Lady 9

Xuanling had originally planned to leave seclusion at a specific time, but when he came out, he discovered that his little apprentice had already successfully established his foundation.

He had originally planned to get a Foundation Establishment Pill for his disciple from the sect after he came out of seclusion, and then protect her to help her establish her foundation.

To everyone's surprise, when the disciple emerged from seclusion three months later, he had not only successfully established his foundation, but his cultivation had also reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. His cultivation speed was simply genius-level.

"Little disciple, how did you establish your foundation without Foundation Establishment Pills?"

"I have Foundation Establishment Pills! I saw a complete alchemy manual in the library, and I made Foundation Establishment Pills myself according to the recipes in it, and then I established my foundation?"

"What? You're refining pills yourself? I haven't even taught you how to refine pills yet, and you already know how?"

"Yes, isn't it just a matter of doing what the book says? What's so difficult about it?"

Xuanling was so shocked that he was speechless. Was this even human language?

If everyone could learn alchemy by following a book, then what would be the point of having a master?

Both the heat control and the alchemy technique are very particular. Yet, this little girl of seven or eight years old talks about alchemy in such a childish way. The key point is that she actually succeeded. This is simply unimaginable.

"Try it again, and let me see how you do it."

Xuanling couldn't imagine that scene, so he could only ask Su Yan to demonstrate it again. How could one possibly refine a Foundation Establishment Pill by simply refining pills?

If it were really that easy, Foundation Establishment Pills wouldn't be so hard to find.

Even in Tianwaishan, there's only one quota available; you can't get any more.

"Okay, fine," Su Yan said helplessly.

Zhongli, who was standing to the side, was also a little frightened. He wondered if his junior sister had done something wrong, and why the Immortal Venerable suspected her so much.

Xuanling glanced at Zhongli and discovered that she had already cultivated Qi into her body.

"Not bad, it seems you've worked very hard these past three months. If you encounter any problems, feel free to ask me when I come out of seclusion."

"Thank you, Master. This disciple...this disciple...has no further questions." Her questions had already been answered by her junior sister, Su Yan.

"Well, alright then. It's normal for you to have a slow cultivation speed since you have five spiritual roots, but if you persevere, you still have a good chance in the future."

He meant that there was still hope for Foundation Establishment, but little did he know that Zhongli had already established his Foundation.

The three arrived at the alchemy room. Su Yan found the medicinal materials needed for the Foundation Establishment Pill and then followed the method described in the pill formula.

Light the fire, add the medicine, cover the cauldron, first boil it over high heat, then simmer it over low heat to reduce the liquid, then use spiritual energy to guide the liquid and apply the pill pattern, and finally remove it from the pot.

The steps were so simple that even Zhongli, who was in charge of cooking, felt like he could refine pills himself after seeing it.

The moment the pill was extracted, a fragrant aroma wafted over, and Xuanling's eyes widened.

The apprentice's steps were all very casual, just like cooking. How did he manage to successfully refine it so easily?

"A ninth-grade Foundation Establishment Pill! My God, what kind of monstrous disciple have I taken in? You are completely self-taught in alchemy. Even your master cannot guarantee that you can refine a ninth-grade pill every time."

"Ah, Master, you flatter me. I was just following the steps."

"Hehe, what a methodical approach! Could it be that your pure and focused mind is the reason you were able to produce pills in one batch?"

He was overjoyed by this talent and wanted to show it off to the other main peaks. Although he never went to the other main peaks, he didn't mind checking on his other senior brothers for the sake of his little disciple.

"I don't know either," Su Yan said innocently.

"It's alright, as long as you keep your original intention, I believe that your alchemy skills will definitely not be worse than those disciples of Danfeng in the future."

Xuanling was overjoyed. His disciple was so promising. It felt like he hadn't taught him much, yet his disciple had become self-taught.

He also found several manuals on alchemy, as well as manuals on cultivation techniques, talismans, weapon crafting, and beast taming, and gave one of each to Su Yan.

"Disciple, now that you have established your foundation, I must go into seclusion again. Take these manuals with you. Make notes on any parts you don't understand, and I will answer your questions when I emerge from seclusion in two months."

"Okay, thank you, Master."

"Good boy, take these spirit stones. Don't worry about saving them for your master. If it's not enough, I'll give you more next time."

"Thank you, Master."

Although it was only one hundred mid-grade spirit stones, it was already more than what the disciples of other peaks received.

After all, the consumption of spirit stones is not too great at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Xuanling also gave Zhongli a thousand low-grade spirit stones and said kindly, "Eat well on weekdays and don't work too hard."

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Master." Zhongli accepted the spirit stones, even though he hadn't used up all the spirit stones from last time.

Moreover, she also had a hundred high-grade spirit stones given to her by her junior sister, and she felt that she could never use them all.

Zhongli came out intending to instruct his disciples, but found there was nothing to instruct them on, so he had no choice but to go into seclusion again.

After Zhongli went into seclusion, Su Yan decided to refine the Yuan Replenishing Pill. Replenishing spiritual power with spirit stones was too slow; it would be much faster to consume the Yuan Replenishing Pill.

Su Yan pointed to the recipe for the Replenishing Yuan Pill and said to Zhong Li, "I'm going to refine the Replenishing Yuan Pill for you, Junior Sister. You can watch me refine it and learn some pill-refining techniques."

"Thank you, senior sister. I will definitely study hard."

"You don't need to worry too much. Alchemy is actually very simple. You're such a good cook, so alchemy will definitely be a piece of cake for you."

"Thank you for your praise, Senior Sister. I will certainly live up to your teachings."

Su Yan began refining the Yuan-Replenishing Pill. She only read the pill formula once before giving the complete formula to Zhong Li.

When Su Yan was refining pills, it was just like adding seasonings to a dish. He would add this one moment and that the next, occasionally stir-frying it and adding more fire. When he could smell the aroma of the medicine, he would use his spiritual power to control the fire and create the pill patterns.

"Junior sister, you can use the fire control technique to control the fire at this time. You already have five spiritual roots, and alchemy can train your fire spiritual root. Try to mobilize the fire element in your body to circulate your spiritual power."

Zhongli has noted it down.

"You can come and practice when you have free time, and I can give you some pointers."

"Okay, thank you, Senior Sister."

From then on, Zhongli had one more thing to do: in addition to his cultivation, he also had to refine two batches of pills every day.

Although it's easy to explode the alchemy furnace and fail at the beginning.

But with Su Yan's guidance, she gradually became more skilled and mastered the cultivation method of her own fire spirit root.

He had also mastered fire control to a highly refined level.

Occasionally, with a bit of luck, one might even be able to refine pills of grade three or higher.

Seeing that Su Yan was looking at the complete collection of talismans, Zhong Li asked curiously, "Junior Sister, have you started learning talismans?"

"Well, since I'm just idling around anyway, reading more books can't hurt."

"Junior sister is really amazing."

"Don't worry, I'll teach you once I've learned it."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news, Senior Sister."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Zhongli blindly trusts Su Yan, feeling that there is no magic she cannot learn.

The thought that I could learn talisman-making made me so happy I didn't know what to say.

Thanks to her junior sister, she was able to learn so many useful things.
