Translator: 549690339
Xu Fan waved goodbye to Wang Yulun with a smile, a small bag of Spirit Stones in his hand.
“You sneaky brat, you scored quite a deal. This is the essence of all my battle skills from various manga.”
“What I have learned is what I have earned.” Xu Fan, playing with the small bag of Spirit Stones in his hand, returned to his small courtyard.
Upper Spirit Peak, the only place in the Outer Sect where one could spot Inner Sect disciples. It’s also where the Outer Disciples did their trading and purchasing.
A nine-story comprehensive comrcial building run directly by the Sect. All essentials required in the Qi Refining Stage were sold on the first three floors.
In a eting room on the second floor, a middle-aged supervisor was carefully examining the Spirit Rice brought by Xu Fan.
“Very good, very good.”
The supervisor admired the sparkling and crystal clear Spiritual Rice in his hand.
“Brother Xu, you’re amazing. You can count on one hand the people in the Outer Sect who can grow this top-quality rice.”
“Apart from the cultivators who have been growing spiritual plants all their life in the Outer Sect, who would have thought there would be young talents like Brother Xu who can grow it.”
“These 1230 catties of Spiritual Rice, I’ll take them all, 600 Spirit Stones, how does that sound?” The supervisor said, still examining the Spiritual Rice in his hand.
Such top-grade Spiritual Rice is the favorite nourishnt of the immortality-seeking families. It is indispensable for building a solid foundation for the family’s Celestial Favorites.
This kind of top-quality Spiritual Rice is rarely found in the market. Only those cultivators specializing in the value of Spirit can obtain it by pre-ordering.
“The price sounds fair.” A strange look flashed in Xu Fan’s eyes. Can top-quality Spiritual Rice be produced just by irrigating Spirit Rice with the peak level Small Spirit Rain Technique?
“In that case, I’ll make an executive decision of adding 20 more Spirit Stones, and hope that Brother Xu will still choose Weifeng Chamber of Comrce next ti when your Spirit Rice matures.”
The supervisor smiled warmly. As a supervisor, his status was equivalent to that of a Golden Core Cultivator from within the Sect.
“Thank you, supervisor, for your kindness. Next ti my Spirit Rice matures, I’ll sell it to your honorable chamber.” Xu Fan said with a smile.
“If you need to plant Spirit Rice on a large scale, you can contact .” After thinking for a mont, the supervisor said. Generally, in the Outer Sect, you can only plant on your own hill.
“Alright, I’ll contact you if I need help, supervisor.”
Xu Fan nodded, thanking the supervisor.
The returns from growing Spirit Rice are too low. I better continue on my path of Twin Excellences in Pills and Artifacts.
After the transaction, Xu Fan spent 500 Spirit Stones on the first floor to buy an Artifact Pill Refining Furnace that could automatically transform spiritual fire.
On the way back, Xu Fan excitedly fiddled with the miniaturized Pill Refining Furnace in his hand.
“Thank goodness for Yulun’s 500 Spirit Stones. Otherwise, I could only afford the most basic Pill Refining Furnace, which I hear is hard to use.”
Previously, Xu Fan had asked a Senior Brother studying alchemy with him about it. The lowest-grade Pill Furnace exists solely to give Outer Disciples, who don’t have Spirit Stones, a chance to study alchemy.
Just to make them understand that poverty has nothing to do with studying alchemy.
The next day, Xu Fan eagerly headed towards Taixue Peak.
“If I had this dedication to study in my past life, my family would have been overjoyed.”
“Wait for . Once I set foot on the road to being the strongest, I’ll definitely return.”
Thinking about this, Xu Fan’s eyes grew even more determined.
Taixue Peak, Spirit Pill Pavilion.
“Tuition fee is 500 Spirit Stones plus 100 Contribution Points,”
“This is just one year’s tuition fee. The course lasts for 2 years.”
“You can rest one day in the middle and at the end of each month.”
“Once you beco a junior alchemist, you can join Elixir Hall.”
A part-ti disciple in Elixir Hall, leading Xu Fan to the school, explained as they walked.
The place where Xu Fan will be studying is a large courtyard covering more than ten acres, much like a school in his past life.action
At the entrance of the school, the leading disciple saluted Xu Fan and said, “I’ve already told you about the general rules that you need to pay attention to.”
“I wish Senior Brother to beco an Alchemy Master soon.”
Xu Fan quickly returned the favor with a bow.
“Thank you for your good wishes, Senior Brother.”
With the token he had just received, Xu Fan found his assigned classroom, covering more than a hundred square ters, with 10 places altogether and pre-arranged spots for the Pill Furnaces in front of each of them.
As Xu Fan entered the classroom, he was greeted by a woman with a pretty face and a graceful figure.
A stunning beauty, the term popped unbidden into Xu Fan’s mind.
“Hello, Junior Fellow, are you the new disciple here for study?”
“Yes, my na is Xu Fan. How should I address you, Senior Female Apprentice?” Xu Fan responded with a smile, quelling the wicked thoughts that had risen at that first glance.
“My na is Sha Yan, I am the reserve lecturer here. If my Master is not here, I usually handle the lectures.” Sha Yan responded with a charming smile, eyeing the average-looking junior fellow standing before her.
Why not call yourself ‘stupid’? As this thought surfaced, Xu Fan quickly dismissed it, shaking his head. With such beauty, how could she possibly be stupid?
“Little Junior Fellow Xu Fan, is there anything you are wondering about?” Sha Yan asked with curiosity.
“No, no, I was just thinking about how to catch up if I missed so lessons since classes are in groups.” Xu Fan scratched his head, casually asking a question.
“That’s not a problem, the early stages are all basic lessons, and I have so Jade Records here.”
“In the future, I can give you so extra catch-up lessons in the afternoon.”
“Alright, it’s ti, I’m about to start the lecture. Little Junior fellow, you’d better listen carefully.” Sha Yan exclaid, her eyes curved into the enchanting shape of crescent moons.
Xu Fan was imdiately swayed by her adorable expression. In his past life, he was just an ordinary nerd, he never had the chance to interact with such stunning beauties.
One-on-one tutelage, now there’s an idea.
Xu Fan made his way to the seat arranged by Sha Yan, took a seat on a mat and exchanged glances with the surrounding disciples who were also attending the lecture.
Ten students in total including Xu Fan filled all the seats in the classroom.
“Now, let’s talk about the importance of primary processing of Spiritual dicine during alchemy. The perfection of primary processing determines the quality of the final elixir.”
“Now, let explain the most basic techniques for processing Spiritual dicine. The first step, extract the essence …”
The Alchemy course officially started, and Xu Fan began to focus on the lecture.
In the afternoon, Xu Fan spent a delightful afternoon alone with his beautiful teacher.
When he returned to his small hill,
Xu Fan took out the materials he had taken from the classroom earlier and began to analyze them in detail.
A month later.
In his newly established Alchemy Room on his hill, Xu Fan began his first attempt at alchemy.
“It wasn’t easy. After studying for over a month, I can finally start practicing alchemy.”
Grudgingly, Xu Fan took out a Spirit Stone and thrown it into the fire trough below the Pill Furnace. Instantly, a roaring fire erupted underneath the Pill Furnace.
‘Fire Control Technique’, ‘Spirit Control Technique’.
With the lid of furnace opened, Xu Fan imdiately threw in the prepared Spiritual dicine essences.
Water Spirit Grass, Sun-eating Fruit, Ganoderma, Hundred Herbs Dew….
Xu Fan controlled the temperature while adding the Spiritual dicine essences to the Pill Furnace.
When all the Spiritual dicine had been put in, Xu Fan imdiately started using the Shaping Elixir Technique he had learned.
Inside the fiery Pill Furnace, the liquified essences of the Spiritual dicine had divided into ten small droplets and started refining themselves using the furnace’s heat.
Just as Xu Fan was sighing about how alchemy wasn’t all that difficult.
‘Boom!’
“How can a genius like have an explosion in the furnace too!!”
