He grew more excited as he spoke, slapping his thigh: "Who would have thought, Junior Brother He Ling really took in a good disciple!"
Situ Yan stared intensely at Gu Yuan, clicking his tongue in admiration.
He had always been obsessed with Alchemy, though he was born into an aristocratic family faction, he never cared much for the conflicts between family factions and sect lineages.
Because he wasn’t interested and found it pointless.
As for whether Gu Yuan’s talent was good or bad, or what kind of Spiritual Body he had, he was even less interested and felt it had nothing to do with him.
But now, upon discovering that Gu Yuan’s alchemical talent was clearly out of the ordinary, he beca intrigued!
From the ti Gu Yuan started apprenticing under He Ling True Master to now, it had only been a few months. Excluding the ti for cultivation, the ti he had to study Alchemy techniques was probably very short.
In such a short ti, it would be quite good to master so basic concepts of the Alchemy Dao.
But Gu Yuan, even with Dragon Tiger Marrow Nourishing Pill, could see through its essence, which to an expert like Situ Yan was quite unbelievable.
It also signified sothing – Gu Yuan had a very strong Alchemical Talent!
The ordinary person’s view of Alchemy: Utilizing True Fla to extract the essences of various Spirit dicines, integrating them according to proportions and sequences.
The true Alchemy Master’s view of Alchemy: It requires handling the changes of Yin and Yang, the essence of the Five Elents, and tapping into the creation of Heaven and Earth. It’s about Alchemy, but even more about understanding the Dao of Heaven and Earth.
The scene of Situ Yan refining pills just now seed to others rely like roasting with True Fla.
But to Gu Yuan, the rises and falls, cold and heat, clear and turbid changes, balance of dicine properties, and refinent by True Fla were the essence.
Since Gu Yuan could see these essences, it showed that although he might not have refined pills before, as long as he learned diligently, he could quickly beco an Alchemist, or even an Alchemy Master!
This made Situ Yan itch with intrigue.
"Your master wrote to several tis before, asking to enlighten you on so Alchemy Techniques. At first, I didn’t pay much attention, but now it seems, Junior Brother He Ling has truly chosen well!"
Situ Yan laughed heartily, looking at Gu Yuan with newfound admiration:
"How about this, from now on, anyti you have questions about Alchemy Techniques, feel free to ask ."
The change in attitude towards Gu Yuan was quite distinct from the start.
"Thank you, Master Uncle!"
Gu Yuan was overjoyed and quickly expressed his gratitude.
With Situ Yan’s words, he could freely visit here, and no one could say otherwise.
The key was, this Master Uncle’s Alchemy techniques were almost divine, learning so from him would be greatly beneficial.
anwhile, Feng Shaojie stood by in shock.
He hadn’t seen his master so excited for a long ti, especially towards soone from the sect lineage.
Even Feng Shaojie himself had never received such praise from his master, Situ Yan, which made him feel sowhat indignant and even jealous.
Seeing Gu Yuan’s strong Alchemical talent, Situ Yan beca serious as well. While maintaining the stability of the True Fla, he looked Gu Yuan up and down and suddenly asked:
"Since you want to refine pills, do you have any thoughts? After all, your own nature is that of a Water Spirit Body, and you practice Water Dao Techniques."
ntioning Alchemy Techniques, most people in the cultivation realm first think of True Fla refining.
Typically, one practices Fire Dao Techniques, or Wood Dao Techniques, or both.
On dicine King Mountain, refining with True Fla is the norm and most common.
In general, practicing Fire Dao Techniques enables better control of True Fla, making pill refining more smooth and efficient.
But in the eyes of an Alchemy Master like Situ Yan, the Five Elents Yin and Yang all can refine pills.
For instance, by using Yin Fla, Stone Fla, Wood Fla, or even without True Fla, just condensing Elixirs directly with Primordial Qi.
However, achieving that requires Grandmaster Level proficiency.
Gu Yuan’s Water Dao Technique was extrely pure, inherently conflicting with True Fla.
Utilizing True Fla for refining would probably not be easy, even with Yin Fla it might fall short, at best resulting in a compromise.
Gu Yuan understood his aning and did not hold back, speaking directly:
"I dare not hide it, Master Uncle; the cultivation technique I practice is special, known for its purity and depth. It can refine the purest of True Water."
"Therefore, I plan to take the path of True Water Refining for Alchemy!"
As he spoke, Gu Yuan raised his hand, a drop of erald-blue water erged at his fingertip, about the size of a dragon’s eye, luminous and pure, without any impurities, giving an impression of purity and clarity.
The instant it appeared, a faint mist circled, even the air felt more moist.
This was naturally the Primordial True Water refined by Gu Yuan, one of many Postnatal True Waters.
"True Water Refining for Alchemy..."
Situ Yan raised his brows as he looked at that drop of Primordial True Water on Gu Yuan’s fingertip, sowhat surprised.
Whether refining with True Fla or True Water, the focus is on extracting the essence of dicinal properties and creating the pill through synthesis.
Each has its own rits in this regard.
What Gu Yuan said was not wrong; his refined True Water was indeed innately pure, possessing both Yin gentleness and substantial depth.
Moreover, it is significant that unlike True Fla, which might accidentally damage the essence during refinent, True Water Refining can be more suitable for certain aspects of pill forging.
"Good."
Situ Yan regarded Gu Yuan with even higher esteem; although Gu Yuan’s path was different from his own, Gu Yuan’s foundation (Primordial True Water) was undeniably suitable for refining.
One must know that before an Alchemy Master refines pills, they first need to prepare True Fla.
Under lesser conditions, they usually foster a few Fire Crow or Fire Serpent demons to spray fire for refining.
Those more affluent would use True Fla spewed by Earth Lung Fire Veins for refining.
Or simply seek so True Fla seeds, refine them into Divine Techniques to apply more adeptly.
With Primordial True Water, Gu Yuan was already two-thirds prepared for refining, only lacking an Alchemy Furnace.
Moreover, an Alchemy Furnace wasn’t absolutely necessary.
"Though I refine with True Fla, I know sothing of True Water refining too; the mysteries of Alchemy are broad yet lead to the sa goal."
After a mont of consideration, Situ Yan produced an ancient book, the cover inscribed with ’Essentials of the Golden Core’ in large letters, and handed it to Gu Yuan:
"This is one of the secret transmissions of our dicine King Mountain, recording so hidden secrets of Alchemy, take it and study it, but keep it confidential."
"Thank you, Master Uncle, I will study diligently and will not let down your dedication!"
Gu Yuan solemnly accepted it.
He had naturally heard of this Alchemy Scripture.
The immortality of golden nature, and the critical point for a Primordial Spirit True Immortal lies in refining a bit of Immortal Golden Nature in the Yang Spirit Realm to achieve immortality.
Nad "Golden Core" as an indication, it signifies penetrating the mysteries of the Alchemy Dao and connecting directly to the Great Dao.
This is the sect’s most superior Alchemy Technique. Even if Gu Yuan was very talented and had assistance from He Ling True Master, it still wasn’t certain he would be able to receive this book.
