Plain Explanation of the Dao of Alchemy
The moment the pretty female disciple spoke, she attracted everyone's attention.
"Haven't you noticed that the Grand Elder has changed a lot lately?"
[The female disciple paused, and after confirming that everyone's eyes were on her, she continued,]
"The former Grand Elder, though authoritative, only had eyes for the sect and factions. But now? He only has eyes for Qinghe Sister Qinghe!"
"When I went to the Main Peak to deliver the Pills last time, I saw with my own eyes that the Grand Elder was reviewing Jade Slips while Qinghe was asleep beside him. The Grand Elder was worried she'd catch a cold, so he personally draped a robe over her! His eyes were so tender they could melt your heart!"
"Furthermore, think about it, what is the Grand Elder's status? He's at the Nascent Soul Perfection, the Acting Sect Master! Why doesn't he cultivate the sect's other geniuses, but instead treats this little girl of unknown origin so well?"
She paused, then dropped a conclusion that left everyone speechless.
"Because, Qinghe Sister Qinghe is actually the reincarnation of the Grand Elder's dao companion!"
["Wow..."]
A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.
"Think about it, in their past life they were dao companion, and later they encountered a great calamity. The Grand Elder waited for hundreds of years to find their reincarnation, took them in by his side, and taught them step by step. Who else would have such patience?"
[Several female disciples covered their mouths, their eyes filled with tears of emotion.]
[Crow in a tree slipped and nearly fell headfirst.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: Continuing the peaceful life of taking the baby to work every day.]
[B: Oh wow, you love gossip...]
[C: Write a novel overnight called "Three Lives Three Worlds: The Reincarnated Beloved Wife of the Domineering Elder," print 320,000 copies to sell within the sect, and also sell the adaptation rights for a short drama.]
Lu Ping was speechless. "Little C, you've really gone too far."
Last time it was "The Domineering Elder Fell in Love with Me," this time it's "The Reincarnated Beloved Wife"—just how many female -Tomato novels have you read?
And Little B, what kind of lousy option is this?
If there are no options, then don't provide them!
Lu Ping chose A.
[You chose A.]
You continue your peaceful life of taking your child to work every day.
[As the Acting Sect Master, you have the highest authority to allocate resources across the entire Profound Beast Taming Sect.]
[You have begun refining a high-grade Pills- Qi-Consolidating Pill.]
[The Qi-Consolidating Pill contains the equivalent of four hundred low-grade Spiritual Qi Low-Grade Spirit Stones, which is equivalent to four Qi-Gathering Pills.]
[You've thoroughly researched the Pill Formula for the Qi-Gathering Pill.]
Even with the help of this Trait, you haven't found a better alternative for lower-tier medicinal herbs.
Even if the main ingredient changes, the required grade and year of production remain almost the same.
[The same applies to the Qi-Consolidating Pill.]
[It seems that the amount of Spiritual Qi contained in the medicinal herbs doesn't increase much when converted into the Pills.]
[This is somewhat different from functional Pills like the Taiyi Origin-Returning Pill and the Heaven-Mending Minor Restoration Pill.]
[If it could be like the Taiyi Origin-Returning Pill, with a main ingredient of a lower grade but still retaining about 70-80% of its efficacy, then the Qi-Consolidating Pill could become your primary cultivation Pills.]
Fortunately, the "Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement" and "Overtime" initiatives remain effective. Approximately four times the profit allows you to replace the Qi-Gathering Pill with two Qi-Consolidating Pills daily.
[According to your original plan, it would take about six years to progress from the Nascent Soul Early Stage.]
[Your transport captain will directly use a single drop of Great Wind Raptor's True Blood to get you there in one step.]
[You estimated that from the Nascent Soul Middle Stage to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, including "Work Experience" and the use of Qi-Consolidating Pills, it would take approximately nine years.]
The road ahead is long and arduous.
[Qinghe stands beside you, holding a booklet in her arms, quietly watching you control the fire, add the medicine, and Core Condensation.]
[For the past six months, you've taken her everywhere you went, and you've put a lot of effort into her upbringing.]
[You even occasionally let her observe you when you're refining pills.]
[You, a Grand Elder of the Beast Taming Sect, know how to refine pills?]
Is this normal? It's normal, isn't it... After all, there are Alchemists in the Profound Beast Taming Sect.
"Uncle-Master, why was this Purple Orchid Leaf thrown in when the fire was at its worst?"
[Qinghe looked at the Little Toad and asked softly.]
You stop what you're doing and turn to look at her.
This girl's talent is truly astonishing.
[After only a few observations, one can detect subtle changes in the elixir fire.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: Since we've already taught so much, teaching us Alchemy Technique won't hurt.]
[B: Give her a look and let her figure it out herself.]
[C: Immediately assign her "Five Years of Alchemy, Three Years of Simulation" training, and tell her she won't be allowed to sleep until she refines the Qi-Consolidating Pill. Start pushing her from now on!]
Little B no longer bothers to associate with any being below the Body Integration of Fusion.
Little B, go sit on the bench and calm down.
Lu Ping chose A.
[You chose A.]
You beckoned Qinghe to come to the Pill Furnace.
[You patiently begin explaining the pharmacology to her and teaching her methods of controlling fire.]
Qinghe listened attentively, her eyes sparkling.
You looked at the eager-to-learn young girl, somewhat dazed.
[You're actually thinking, what if I hadn't come to this world of cultivation, hadn't experienced all this fighting and killing?]
In the real world, do you also get married and have children?
[Will you also have a daughter like this, always around you...?]
[Salty Fish, in effect.]
That fleeting, inexplicable emotion vanished instantly.
[You composed yourself and continued to instruct Qinghe on alchemy.]
[You are originally from the Greenwood Sect, which is founded on Dao of Alchemy. The Dao of Alchemy has a vast collection of alchemical texts, all of which you have studied.]
[Through multiple simulations, you've traveled from the Border Region to the Central Regions, and then to the Upper Domain to participate in the Dao of Alchemy Competition, encountering a vast array of alchemical texts and rare medicinal herbs.]
[You also taught classes at the Thousand Mechanisms Sect and left your Qi Cangshu.]
[You might as well go through all your understanding, experience, techniques, and even the modified Pill Formulas you 'Dao of Alchemy along the way.]
[Eliminate the dross and retain the essence, simplify the complex.]
[You summarized all your Alchemy Technique and inscribed them onto Jade Slip.]
[After some thought, you gave this collection of insights a simple and unadorned name: "The Plain Explanation of the Dao of Alchemy."]
[On this day, you will pass on the "Plain Explanation of the Dao of Alchemy" to Qinghe.]
[Qinghe solemnly accepted the Jade Slip, a noticeable ripple appearing in her usually calm eyes.]
[She kneels down before you.]
"Thank you, Uncle-Master, for your kindness in imparting your knowledge."
This time, you didn't stop her and calmly accepted her bow.
[Twenty-one years old, with three years of work experience]
[Trait being generated...]
