Turn Tang San's Butt into Three Petals
Before Tang San could think any further Yun Lan had already finished the ordinary pill-making process and immediately started the alchemy method newly developed by Teacher Yu Xiaogang. Tang San immediately focused his attention and began to pay full attention to Yun Lan's every move, afraid that he would miss any information.
Soon, Yun Lan finished explaining the traditional pill-making process. The surrounding virtual projection changed with a burst of blue light particles, and Tang San and a few other kids moved to a place described in a novel about a celestial alchemy room.
Tang San saw a three-legged incense burner, about the height of a person... well, it was Pill Furnace. An ordinary humanoid figure sat cross-legged in front of the Pill Furnace, continuously channeling its Soul Power into Pill Furnace.
Then, the humanoid figure of light and shadow saw the strange and mysterious Soul Tool Rune flickering in the Pill Furnace, and used its Mental Power to extract a bead of medicinal herb. Tang San was a little excited when he saw the bead of medicinal herb, after all, it was the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew Immortal Herb he longed for but could never obtain.
The humanoid figure of light and shadow threw the Immortal Herb"Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew" into the Pill Furnace. Yun Lan thoughtfully projected the scene inside the Pill Furnace. The immortal Immortal Herb" Looking Through Autumn Pill Furnace"Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew slowly turned into medicinal liquid in the Soul Power flames. Si Si of gray gas slowly escaped from the medicinal liquid, which were the impurities that the herb did not need.
Then, the humanoid light and shadow successively put in various medicinal herbs. All of them relied on the Soul Guiding Pill Furnace to guide the Soul Power to process the herbs. There was no need for various pill processing methods. They were all turned into clumps of medicinal liquid in the Soul Power flames, and impurities were removed under the calcination of the Soul Power flames.
Under the control of the Soul Power of the Soul Guiding Pill Furnace, various medicinal liquids were fused together in sequence, resulting in a wonderful and magical reaction. The liquid changed colors and spun continuously in the Soul Power flames.
Tang San had already activated his Starry Eyes to carefully observe his memories. Fortunately, the Yun Lan virtual projection was so realistic that Tang San could see every step of the movement clearly. He also discovered the Soul Power of the humanoid figure during the pill refining process, which was also integrated into the medicinal liquid through the Soul Power flames in the Soul Guidance Pill Furnace.
Finally, all the medicinal liquids merged into a large medicinal ball. The humanoid figure carefully stirred and spun the liquid evenly with its Mental Power. The Soul Power flames in the Soul Guiding Pill Furnace began to burn more intensely, and the ball of medicinal liquid rapidly shrank into sixteen round pills.
However, six of the sixteen formed pills were ruined because the medicinal liquid was not mixed sufficiently and the temperature of the Soul Power flame was uneven, resulting in a dark color and cracks all over the pills. The remaining ten pills shimmered with a brilliant luster under the Soul Power flame, like ten precious pearls made of beautiful jade.
Moreover, Yun Lan thoughtfully placed the failed pills and the successful pills together for comparison, magnifying and cutting them open. The failed pills were filled with various gray and black particles and were constantly emitting gray mist that was evaporating.
The successfully refined pills were perfectly round and glossy. The cross-section of the cut pills resembled a seedless watermelon. The outside was wrapped in a jade-colored Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew Pill Coat, and the inside was a pill the color of Immortal Herb, with a strange Soul Tool Rune Entanglement around it.
Soon, Yun Lan finished demonstrating the differences between the two methods of medicine making and alchemy. After putting away the virtual projection, the white circular Soul Tool was controlled by Yun Lan to fly back, since the cost of making such a projection Soul Tool is very high nowadays.
Tang San was most interested in alchemy. As soon as Yun Lan finished her projection demonstration and explanation, he rushed to Yu Xiaogang's side, his pretty face excitedly grabbing Yu Xiaogang's sleeve as he said:
"Teacher! I want to learn your newly developed alchemy technique! It can perfectly extract the desired medicinal properties from various herbs, completely remove unwanted impurities, and maximize the medicinal properties of each herb! Although there was a slight mishap during the final pill-collecting, as long as the pill's medicinal properties are strong, this minor flaw is nothing to worry about!"
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San, who was clutching his sleeve with an excited, flushed face, and stroked his blue-gold hair with a kind expression, saying, "San-ge, I am very pleased that you are so diligent and eager to learn. However, do you want to learn both Soul Tool making and new alchemy techniques? This will be very hard for you, San-ge, as you also have to balance your regular cultivation. After all, you can't neglect your cultivation level for these miscellaneous studies. Only when your cultivation level reaches my level can you learn other things at will."
After listening to Yu Xiaogang's lecture, Tang San came to his senses. Indeed, as Teacher Yu Xiaogang said, it was very difficult to make even a single Soul Tool. The Soul Guidance Firearm he had encountered yesterday were only the simplest ones. Tang San was dazzled by the dense Soul Tool Rune on the cores of those advanced Soul Tool. After all, engraving tens of thousands of Soul Tool Rune runes on a small soul tool core was almost equivalent to hand-crafting a CPU.
Moreover, Tang San watched Yun Lan demonstrate that Teacher Yu Xiaogang's new alchemy technique was not simple, otherwise there would have been six useless pills when collecting the final pills. It was another skill that required a lot of mental and time consumption.
Tang San's quick mind immediately came up with a solution. His beautiful blue-gold eyes gleamed with cunning as he coaxed Yu Xiaogang, "Teacher, I don't want to give up learning Soul Tool, and I really like your newly developed alchemy techniques. Didn't you entrust me with managing the herb garden in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well? I can study alchemy while managing the herb garden! That way, I can take care of the herb garden and study alchemy at the same time!"
Seeing that Tang San was increasingly adept at using his good looks as an advantage, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but smile wryly, patting Tang San's head and saying helplessly:
"Alright, alright, I can't argue with you, you're still San-ge, so you have your reasons! But since you've said that, and you're so interested in what I've researched, I'll go ahead with it! But let me make this clear: if your San-ge falls behind, I'll beat your butt into four pieces! Well, I'll leave one piece for you to beat into three pieces."
At Teacher Yu Xiaogang's joking warning, everyone present tried their best to suppress their laughter. Tang San immediately blushed and embarrassed, letting go of Teacher Yu Xiaogang's hand. He patted his chest and assured Yu Xiaogang, "Don't worry! Teacher, I, Tang San, won't fall behind in my cultivation level! After all, I'm a genius!"
Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly in praise of Tang San's ambitious statement, saying, "I hope it's as you promised, San-ge. After you and Linglong absorb your First Soul Ring, come to your teacher to learn alchemy! If your cultivation level is lower than Linglong's a year later, your teacher will definitely spank you until your butt is split in three!"
Tang San blushed slightly and subconsciously touched his buttocks, determined to work hard at his cultivation. He didn't want to be spanked in public by Teacher Yu Xiaogang, so he could only nod awkwardly to indicate that he understood.
The others present couldn't help but laugh at Yu Xiaogang's joking punishment of Tang San. However, they didn't think much of it, since they were all still young, only six years old. If it were an ordinary commoner child at this age, they would get a spanking if they misbehaved.
Just as Tang San was about to find a crack in the ground to hide in, Yu Xiaogang interrupted their laughter and said:
"Alright, children, you must cultivate diligently from now on. If you slack off, your teacher will punish you. However, if you cultivate hard, your teacher will reward you. Next, San-ge and Linglong will take pills to restore their Spiritual Origin. Keep your own pills safe, as it is not easy for your teacher to refine them. Xiao Ao and Hongjun, after your lunch break, come here to collect your basic cultivation resources."
After Yu Xiaogang adopted a teacherly demeanor, the group immediately stopped smiling and began to do as he instructed. Tang San and Yu Linglong sat cross-legged and held the pills in their mouths as Yu Xiaogang had told them, waiting for them to take effect.
Happy New Year! I was so busy today that I was thinking of taking the day off, but I ended up spending three hours writing this anyway.
