Ling Wanliang's Talent for Alchemy
After chatting for a while, Ling Pengyun, along with Ling Wanliang, who had Pill Refining talent, Yan Siyi, Ling Chengping, and others, rode the Ling Xiao Flying Boat to Earth Fire Island, which was dozens of miles away from Lingyun Island and had a Second Rank Low Grade Earth Fire Cave Earth Fire Island.
Before long, the group piloted the Ling Xiao Flying Boat and landed at the core of Earth Fire Island, outside the only cave abode.
After knocking on the cave abode door and waiting for a while, the cave abode door finally opened.
Then, a middle-aged man who was six feet tall, fair-skinned, with long fingers, and exuding the aura of Foundation Establishment emerged from the cave abode, accompanied by a rich fragrance of elixirs.
The middle-aged man, looking apologetic, cupped his hands in greeting to Ling Pengyun and the others.
"Peng Yun Earl, Aunt Si Yi, Cheng Ping, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I was cultivating the Explosive Tempering God Art, which took up a lot of time."
This middle-aged man was none other than Ling Clan, the only second-tier Ling Chengxin- Second Grade Middle Rank Alchemist currently in the Ling clan.
"Cheng Xin, haven't you already comprehended the Fourth Layer the Explosive Tempering God Art? With the enhancement of this Divine Sense cultivation technique, your Divine Sense is already comparable to the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment."
"Isn't this level of Divine Sense power enough for you?" Ling Pengyun asked, a look of confusion on his face.
He had a good relationship with Ling Chengxin. Ling Chengxin, who was born into a mortal family, was discovered to have Spirit Root by Ling Pengyun and was brought onto the path of immortality.
Over the years, he has also helped Ling Chengxin cultivate his skills quite a bit.
He also knew a little about Ling Chengxin's cultivation progress.
"My Divine Sense strength is indeed somewhat insufficient. With my current Divine Sense strength, which is comparable to the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, it does help me to refine second-grade low and middle-grade pills, but it doesn't help me much to refine Second Rank High Grade- grade pills. It's simply difficult for me to master the easiest-to-refine Second Rank High Grade Spirit Gathering Pill in a short period of time."
"During this period, a large amount of the Lineage's spirit medicine will be wasted."
"Under such circumstances, I stopped my Dao of Alchemy and planned to first comprehend the Explosive Tempering God Art to the Fifth Layer. Through the enhancement of this Secret Method, I would raise my strength to a level comparable to the Foundation Establishment Completion, and then continue to try to refine the Second Rank High Grade Spirit Gathering Pill."
"With the help of a powerful Divine Sense, I can refine the Second Rank High Grade Spirit Gathering Pill more easily, and the success rate can also be higher."
Ling Chengxin did not hide his plans for Pill Refining and explained them in detail.
Divine Sense is of great help to those skilled in crafting spiritual objects.
Take Pill Refining as an example: a strong Divine Sense allows for better control over the intensity of the fire during Pill Refining.
When refining spirit medicine into elixir using high temperatures, it is also easier to find impurities within the spirit medicine and remove them.
During the fusion process, various spiritual liquids formed from different spirit medicine can be perfectly integrated into one.
Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun's face lit up with a look of appreciation.
"This child has grown up quite a bit."
Then he asked a question.
"That's a good idea. What level have you reached in your Explosive Tempering God Art?"
Ling Chengxin said with a hint of confidence, "I have now cultivated the Fourth Layer the Explosive Tempering God Art to the Consummation Realm. In less than half a year, I will definitely be able to raise this method of cultivating Divine Sense to the Fifth Layer."
"That's excellent. It seems that in six months, our clan will have one more Second Rank High Grade Alchemist," Ling Pengyun said with a smile.
"Borrowing on Peng Yun Earl words."
Ling Chengxin replied with a smile.
"Alright, let's not waste any more time on small talk."
"This child is one of the more than 200,000 ordinary people in Huai River County that our Lineage found this year. He has Spirit Root and belongs to the youngest of the five generations of the Lineage, the Wan Generation generation. His name is Ling Wanliang and he is the eighty-eighth among the Wan Generation."
"Although this child has Four Spirit Roots Spirit Root his aptitude is not strong, he has a talent for Pill Refining."
"You are currently the strongest Pill Refining in the Lineage, so I plan to keep this child by your side for a few years and have you teach him Pill Refining."
"Would you be willing?"
Ling Pengyun smiled, pointed to Ling Wanliang, who was only seven or eight years old and was curiously looking at Ling Chengxin, and asked Ling Chengxin.
Ling Chengxin then noticed Ling Wanliang, who was only as tall as Ling Pengyun's legs.
Seeing that Xiao Ling Wanliang was looking at him, he smiled at him.
Teaching younger generations in the clan is something that almost all the older generations in the clan have experienced.
Such things are indeed as they should be, after all, when Ling Chengxin first entered the Pill Refining at a young age, he was also taught by the Clan Head Ling Yunhong, which made it easier for him to embark on the Dao of Alchemy.
Now, it's his turn to give back to his Lineage.
Without hesitation, he replied to Ling Pengyun, "Peng Yun Earl, I'll take this child."
"Very good." Ling Pengyun's smile widened.
Xiao Ling Wanliang, who was standing to the side, also immediately showed a happy smile on his face.
Although Ling Wanliang is not very old, his Spirit Root was only discovered this year.
However, he had been in the academy of Lingxiao Mountain in the Yuan Clan Mountain for several months. Through the words of the elders of the clan who served as lecturers in the academy, he also learned some knowledge about the path of cultivation.
He was filled with longing for the opportunity to earn a large number of Spirit Stone to use as Cultivation Resources, which would give him a greater chance to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and master the ability to fly and escape through the air.
He had heard Ling Chengxin, an elder in the clan, speak of his reputation as a second-tier Alchemist countless times.
Being able to learn from such an elder is a great thing, as it will increase his chances of mastering the art of Pill Refining.
Perhaps, if he really becomes Alchemist in the future, he can use alchemy to help him reach the Pill Refining Foundation Establishment Realm and become a Foundation Establishment "immortal".
When he returns to the village, he can boast about it to his childhood friends.
In a moment of excitement, the child imitated the scenes of apprenticeship and learning skills that he had witnessed in the mortal world when he was young, and knelt down and kowtowed three times to Ling Chengxin.
"Master, please accept my bow."
These actions drew laughter from the crowd.
Ling Chengxin, who was gentle and kind to everyone, laughed twice. Then he helped Ling Wanduo, who was kneeling on the ground and looking excited, up and said to him with a smile.
"Silly child, once you join the Lineage, we will be relatives. From now on, you can be without the title of Master. Just call me Uncle Cheng Xin."
Ling Wanliang was slightly puzzled, but he still happily nodded in agreement.
He also greeted Ling Chengxin with a joyful expression, "Cheng Xin."
Afterwards, the group chatted for a while. Ling Pengyun instructed Ling Wanliang, who would be learning alchemy from Ling Chengxin in the future, not to be lazy and to learn Pill Refining properly from Ling Chengxin. Then, he bid farewell to Yan Siyi, Ling Chengping, and Ling Chengxin, and left the place to return to his own cultivation place, "Yunyi Island".
Hearing the commotion, Xiao Ling Wanchuan, who was in a courtyard on Yunyi Island, came out of the courtyard and greeted Ling Pengyun and the others.
The crazy girl Ling Chengping looked at Ling Wanchuan with a grin.
"You must be Wan Chuan, and I am your Cheng Ping."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling Wanchuan's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself.
"Ancestor Peng Yun and the others have indeed gone to pick up Aunt Cheng Ping, the only Silkworm Farmer in the Lineage. This means that I will have an easier time getting my hands on those delicious Spirit Mulberry in the future."
As his thoughts returned to normal, the somewhat greedy Ling Wanchuan cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Ling Chengping and then sweetly called out to her.
"Aunt Cheng Ping."
Ling Chengping felt secretly pleased upon hearing this address.
"It feels good to be respected by others."
She was relatively young and spent most of her time in Falling Dusk Mountain, where she was often preoccupied with various matters. As a result, she rarely saw the younger members of her clan and thus found it difficult to act as an elder.
This is also something Ling Chengping regrets.
Now that she has Ling Wanchuan, she has become an elder and can finally hold her head high.
Ling Chengping, pretending to be an elder, coughed twice and took out two bunches of purplish-red Spirit Mulberry and a Glass Bottle filled with Fruit Flower Honey from her Storage Bag, handing them to the short Ling Wanchuan in an old-fashioned manner.
"Wan Chuan, I don't have anything good on me. These two bunches of ordinary First-Tier Superior-Grade Spirit Mulberry and this bottle of First-Tier Superior-Grade Fruit Flower Honey will serve as a small gift."
When Ling Wanchuan, who was a bit greedy, saw Ling Chengping handing him the delicious Spirit Mulberry he had been longing for, his face immediately lit up with a smile.
He quickly accepted it and thanked Ling Chengping with a grateful expression.
"Thank you, Aunt Cheng Ping."
Hearing "Aunt Cheng Ping" made Ling Chengping feel even more at ease.
If it weren't for the fact that she didn't have many Spirit Mulberry and Fruit Flower Honey left in her Storage Bag, she really wanted to take out some more spirit items and give them to Ling Wanchuan so that he could call her "Auntie" a couple more times.
Ling Pengyun, who knew Ling Chengping's personality, saw that Ling Chengping's mouth was about to twist into a grin, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face as well.
He patted Ling Chengping on the head and gave instructions.
"Alright, Cheng Ping, we'll give you the opportunity to be our elder in the future."
"Madam, you should go back to your cave abode to cultivate. I will take Cheng Ping and Wan Chuan to transplant the spirit trees we brought from Falling Dusk Mountain to the second-tier Spirit Plant Garden on the island."
Yan Siyi nodded slightly and stepped into the most Spiritual Qi rich place on the island, a cave abode with a plaque bearing the words "Yunyi".
Ling Pengyun then led Ling Chengping and Ling Wanchuan to an area shrouded in mist not far from Cloud Yi Cave Residence.
With a flick of his fingers, the cloud of mist dispersed, revealing a small passageway.
