Xu Ning took the alchemy furnace prepared by Yu Shunan and placed it down. Then, with a wave of his hand, a lantern appeared beneath the furnace.
Xu Ning then handed Yu Shunan the formula for the Qi Gathering Pill. "This is the formula. You'll need to refer to it later and rember every step!"
Yu Shunan nodded hurriedly. "Yes, Master!"
Xu Ning turned back to the alchemy furnace. "Alright, start the fire."
Instantly, flas shot out from the lantern.
Then, the alchemy furnace prepared by Yu Shunan lted, turning into a pool of liquid.
Yu Shunan exclaid, "Master, this?"
Xu Ning said, "Uh! I made a mistake. I forgot that the alchemy furnace you prepared couldn't withstand this fla!"
Imdiately, Xu Ning secretly transford an iron pot into the shape of an alchemy furnace and placed it on top of the lantern.
The massive black alchemy furnace was covered with dense orange lines and patterns, looking incredibly heavy and magnificent.
Yu Shunan stared blankly at it, unable to resist asking, "Master, what level is this alchemy furnace?"
Xu Ning gave a vague answer. "Ah! It's a high-grade Yuan-level furnace, a bit pricey!"
Yu Shunan was astonished. A high-grade Yuan-level furnace was a level he couldn't even dream of at the mont.
Xu Ning said, "Don't get distracted, watch carefully!"
With that, Xu Ning began to add the spiritual herbs.
At the sa ti, he began to explain. "Pay attention to the order in which you add the spiritual herbs. Add the ones that are difficult to dissolve first, and the ones that are easy to dissolve later."
"That way, after all the spiritual herbs are added, they will all dissolve into spiritual liquid."
Yu Shunan nodded seriously, firmly rembering the order in which the spiritual herbs were added.
"Alright, now cos the most crucial and most difficult step. How far you can reach as an alchemist in the future depends on how well you do in this step."
Then, Xu Ning began to explain to Yu Shunan the various knowledge and precautions for removing the spiritual herbs.
Finally, the pills were successfully refined. A set of low-grade Qi Gathering Pill ingredients were used to refine a batch of mid-grade Qi Gathering Pills.
Yu Shunan looked at the finished pills, his face full of surprise. "Master, what level of alchemist are you?"
Xu Ning said, "Yuan-level top-grade."
Yu Shunan was shocked. "Second-tier master-level alchemist!!!"
Xu Ning said, "Don't let this get out!"
Yu Shunan quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, Master!"
Perhaps because he was thinking of Miao Yunyi, Xu Ning taught Yu Shunan extrely seriously from then on, almost teaching him step by step.

And Yu Shunan lived up to expectations, officially entering the realm of alchemy in just three days.
Xu Ning felt a sense of existential doubt about this. After all, it had taken him a whole month to achieve this.
The thatched hut said, "Xu Ning, it's not that your alchemy aptitude is poor. It's that your alchemy skills are too amazing now!"
After hearing this, Xu Ning suddenly rembered. That's right! He was a legendary-level alchemist. If he was slow to learn a novice, wouldn't that prove that Xu Ning was useless!
A month later, Yu Shunan successfully reached the first-tier mid-grade alchemist level.
A year later, he reached the superior level.
Five years later, he reached the master level.
On the day he beca a master alchemist, Yu Shunan was extrely excited and ran to Xu Ning to share the good news.
Xu Ning, on the other hand, was relatively calm. "Not bad!"
Yu Shunan cald down after hearing this. "Master, your disciple was anxious!"
Xu Ning asked, "Disciple, what are you going to do next? Will you reveal your identity and help others refine pills to obtain a lot of resources, or will you continue to hide and refine pills only for yourself?"
Yu Shunan fell into deep thought after hearing this, and after a long ti, he shook his head. "Master, I am only at the seventh level of Qi Refining now. If I reveal myself, there will be danger!"
Xu Ning said, "Don't worry about that. You are my disciple. Below the Golden Core stage, I dare not do anything to you!"
Yu Shunan felt a warmth in his heart after hearing this, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Master, I need a lot of resources for my future cultivation, so I have decided to reveal myself!"
Xu Ning said, "Good, but you can't say that I taught you!"
Yu Shunan nodded. "Disciple won't say it!"
After making his decision, Yu Shunan beca particularly busy. He first reported his identity as a master alchemist to the sect, and then began various screenings.
After various screenings, the sect was shaken.
After all, Yu Shunan had only been in the sect for a few years, yet he had already beco a master alchemist. His talent in alchemy was terrifyingly extre.
For this, the sect bestowed upon him a large reward and designated him as the Holy Son of the Ancient Oriole Sect.
Even his master, Xu Ning, received a substantial reward.
Afterwards, Yu Shunan moved to the Holy Son Peak.
That day, Ye Shengjie suddenly found Xu Ning, his expression cold. "Master, why are you showing favoritism?"
Xu Ning was also surprised. "What favoritism?"
Ye Shengjie said, "Why did you teach my junior brother alchemy but not ?"
The two had both beco disciples of the sa master, yet Yu Shunan beca a master alchemist, the sect's Holy Son, and his prestige and sect resources reached unimaginable heights.
He, Ye Shengjie, wasn't even an inner disciple yet, constantly struggling for resources.
This made Ye Shengjie feel a severe imbalance. Why?
His spiritual root aptitude was clearly better than Yu Shunan's, and he was also bolder and more willing to take risks! Yet their final status and outcos were worlds apart. How could he possibly be at peace with that!
Xu Ning spoke softly. "When you first entered the sect, I told you that if you wanted to learn alchemy, weapon crafting, or array formation, you could ask ."
"After you entered, you lacked the patience to manage the spiritual fields, focusing solely on taking shortcuts, and never ca to ask . Only your junior brother diligently managed the fields, and seeing his own interest in alchemy, he ca to ask ."
"This wasn't because I favored him. He earned it himself."
"On the path of cultivation, if you don't strive for it yourself, are you expecting it to be handed to you?"
Ye Shengjie was taken aback, then lowered his head. "Then this disciple also wants to learn alchemy!"
Xu Ning shook his head. "Your impatient nature isn't suited for these things."
Ye Shengjie said, "Master, you see, you're biased!"
Xu Ning frowned, then his aura suddenly erupted.
Ye Shengjie was startled, feeling a terrifying pressure that forced him to his knees with a thud. He looked up, his face filled with terror.
Xu Ning did not withdraw his aura or cultivation, but instead looked at Ye Shengjie and slowly said, "You unfilial disciple, you must understand one thing. I owe you nothing. On the contrary, I have done you a great favor! Who allowed you to speak to like that?"
Ye Shengjie kowtowed in terror. "It was my fault, Master! Please forgive this ti!"
Xu Ning said, "Since you want to learn alchemy, fine, I can teach you. But as I've said before, this path isn't suitable for you. Whether you succeed or fail in the future is up to you!"
Ye Shengjie quickly agreed. "Thank you, Master!"
To be honest, Xu Ning was very disappointed in this disciple. After so many years of training, he still hadn't figured out his own path.
With a final sigh, he said, "Go prepare a few sets of Qi Gathering Pills and spiritual herbs, then co find !"
Ye Shengjie felt guilty upon hearing this. "Master, I don't have any spirit stones to buy them!"
