Li Qian pondered in his heart.
But he was very puzzled. Since the Heavenly Court was able to reclaim the various continents from the Outer Gods, why not also reclaim the Immortal Ruins and the West Pole Xuan Continent?
Instead, the Immortal Ruins were allowed to beco a world of Divine Monsters and Ghost Immortals.
And the West Pole Xuan Continent also beca a harvest ground for Outer Gods.
All of this seed too unreal.
Li Qian felt a complex sense of confusion.
True Immortal Wu Long was also a warm-hearted Immortal. After returning to the Nan Zhanbu Continent, he imdiately took Li Qian through a Transmission Array to visit an Alchemist friend.
During this period, Li Qian also saw many customs and practices of the Nan Zhanbu Continent.
He found that it was not devoid of low-level Cultivators; Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishnt, Core Formation, and lt God were all present and made up the largest proportion and number.
This was a true Immortal and Mortal Coexistence, a world where the Immortal Dao thrived.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he could hardly imagine that such an Immortal Dao world actually existed.
By comparison, the West Pole Xuan Continent was just starting its journey in the Immortal Dao.
If possible, a Cross-border Transmission Array could also be established to connect the West Pole Xuan Continent with other continents...
However, the Heavenly Court’s lack of action to reclaim the Immortal Ruins and the West Pole Xuan Continent aroused suspicion in Li Qian’s heart, so he did not plan to do so.
He felt there was surely so sort of hidden agenda.
So he absolutely could not expose his origins from the West Pole Xuan Continent.
However, he also needed to create a new identity.
Preferably one that allowed him to settle in the Nan Zhanbu Continent.
Perhaps all of this would fall onto his identity as an Alchemist.
From True Immortal Wu Long’s enthusiastic reaction, it was clear that he recognized Li Qian’s Alchemist status more.
......
"Here we are."
True Immortal Wu Long led Li Qian into a secluded valley.
Within the valley was another world, filled with extraordinary and rare flowers and grasses.
Moreover, the Immortal Energy in this valley was specially regulated by a unique Array, extrely suitable for the growth of Immortal dicine and Treasures.
On the cliffside of the valley stood several seemingly simple buildings, with wisps of smoke and fire aura emanating from them.
A young female Dao servant descended from the air and saluted True Immortal Wu Long and Li Qian, "Greetings, seniors."
"Where’s your master?"
True Immortal Wu Long asked.
"Senior, Master is currently refining elixirs..."
The young Dao servant quickly replied.
"No rush."
True Immortal Wu Long nodded and then followed the young Dao servant into a house, where they were served Immortal Tea and waited.
After an unknown period, a faint boom suddenly ca from the nearby Alchemy Room, followed by a slightly breathless voice rising, "Damn it, it failed again."
The air was filled with an intangible dicinal fragrance.
Li Qian used his Immortal Sense to analyze and imdiately gained so understanding of the elixirs being refined by the Alchemist, which turned out to be Rule Immortal Pills, though it was apparent they had failed.
Also, from the scattered dicinal properties, it was evident that this Alchemist was still a bit lacking in skill...
Of course, this was not sothing he could say out loud.
Not long after, a figure floated gracefully over, still exuding a dicinal sll.
This was a middle-aged woman, though her hair was disheveled, giving a slovenly impression, but her facial features were clearly very exquisite and beautiful.
Once one becos an Immortal, even with average looks, their aura is extraordinary.
It was apparent that this female Alchemist was soone who didn’t care about her image, pouring her heart and soul into Alchemy.
"I wondered why I failed refining again, turns out it was because you arrived."
Upon seeing True Immortal Wu Long, the female Alchemist imdiately spoke in an unfriendly tone.
She glanced at Li Qian with an unfriendly look, seeming hard to approach.
"Senior Sister Su, surely you can’t bla for this?"
True Immortal Wu Long said, half-laughing and half-crying.
"How can it not be your fault? And why did you bring a stranger here?"
Senior Sister Su coldly snorted, clearly not welcoming Li Qian’s presence.
"Senior Sister Su, this is Daoist Li Qian, also an Alchemist, currently attempting to refine Rule Immortal Pills, so he seeks to exchange ideas with peers, and I thought of you imdiately."
True Immortal Wu Long promptly explained.
"An Alchemist?"
Senior Sister Su gave Li Qian a scrutinizing look, "Then tell , why did I fail in refining just now?"
"Ahem...."
True Immortal Wu Long noticed that Senior Sister Su wasn’t giving him any face, clearly intending to put Li Qian in a difficult position, and wanted to say sothing but was stopped by Senior Sister Su’s sharp gaze, so he awkwardly coughed and scratched his nose without saying more.
"Obviously, Su Daoist’s alchemical skills are still a bit lacking."
Li Qian said with a smile.
Seeing Li Qian’s straightforward remark, Senior Sister Su’s face instantly turned black.
And True Immortal Wu Long secretly lanted, as Senior Sister Su’s character was extrely odd and reclusive, which also led to poor rapport within the Sect.
However, Senior Sister Su not only had a good talent for cultivation but also decent talent in Alchemy, so Senior Sister Su’s cultivation wasn’t lower than his, and her alchemical achievents were impressive.
If Senior Sister Su had devoted all her energy to cultivation instead of splitting her focus on Alchemy... she might have already stepped into Fourth Grade Xuan Immortal by now.
Rather than being stuck, like him, at the Third Grade True Immortal level.
"You say my alchemical skills are lacking? Then go on, tell ."
Senior Sister Su took a deep breath, her gaze as if it could pierce Li Qian, but her obsession with Alchemy made her suppress her displeasure.
"Su Daoist, judging from the dicinal properties dispersed after the failure, you seed to use the Rule Origin from the Divine Crystal as the main ingredient, adding Heavenly Pearl Immortal Grass, Lianhua Immortal Seed... and 32 other Immortal Herbs."
Li Qian quickly continued: "There’s nothing wrong with the Elixir Recipe, but... your control over Pill Fire seems to have a slight issue, causing the dicinal properties of the Nine-Heart Immortal Sunflower to encounter problems during fusion...."
The displeasure on Senior Sister Su’s face had long disappeared, replaced by a pair of fervent eyes, as Li Qian had pinpointed the reason for her failure.
"Then, how do you propose to resolve it?"
She quickly asked.
"Actually, it’s very simple to resolve... however, Su Daoist’s alchemical accomplishnts still need so refinent, or even if there aren’t any issues with the Nine-Heart Immortal Sunflower, other steps might go wrong... this isn’t just a simple matter of controlling the heat."
Li Qian calmly explained.
Such problems, to him, were naturally very simple and could be easily resolved.
"Looks like my alchemical skills are perhaps still a bit inferior."
Senior Sister Su mumbled to herself, then looked at Li Qian: "Daoist Li, do you have any thod to guide to improve my alchemical skills? I have been stuck at the sixteen-rank Alchemist level for a long ti."
"Su Daoist, it’s not a matter of guidance, but rather an exchange, as I’m also trying to refine Rule Immortal Pills."
Li Qian replied with a smile.
"Yes, exchange... then let’s exchange ideas thoroughly now."
Senior Sister Su was imdiately eager.
Because she realized Li Qian’s alchemical skills were definitely not inferior to hers, and his temperant suited her well.
She had directly ignored True Immortal Wu Long by the side, as if he did not exist.
Seeing this, True Immortal Wu Long didn’t mind, sighing at Li Qian’s remarkable alchemical skills, for even the eccentric Senior Sister Su had changed her prickly deanor.
So, while they exchanged alchemical knowledge, he went next door to avoid disturbing them.
This alchemical exchange lasted for more than half a month.
Though Li Qian’s alchemical skills far surpassed Senior Sister Su’s, her alchemical accomplishnts were fundantally solid, with many theoretical insights that Li Qian had never had the chance to encounter.
Clearly, these were developnts from the long years after the Heavenly Court was established, across various continents.
Whereas Li Qian’s alchemy knowledge, aside from his own research, largely ca from the Ancient Alchemy Dao, knowledge that was preserved before the collapse of the Immortal Realm.
"Daoist Li, I found that your Alchemy Dao leans towards the ancient thods?"
Even though she hadn’t had a breakthrough in Alchemy Dao, her explorations had opened up avenues for growth.
"Indeed, it’s ancient thods combined with my personal understanding."
Li Qian nodded.
He benefited greatly from exchanging alchemical knowledge with Senior Sister Su, sensing that after proper digestion, his alchemical skills would surely see an improvent.
