"There's also the Fire Control Art, another of the Five Spirit Arts. If you don't have a Fire Spiritual Root, you'll just have to put in extra effort to circulate and control the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth."
Yun Shu nodded slightly. "Thank you for telling me, Senior Brother."
"It's nothing. But it still depends on you. After you pass the assessment, you'll have three months as an Alchemy Apprentice. You'll qualify once you've memorized the entire Medicine Scripture and can refine the corresponding pills."
"The pill in question is the Origin Nurturing Pill. You should use it often, Junior Brother. It's an entry-level pill."
"As for what comes after that, you'll need to gradually improve your Alchemy skills. Of course, if you have good aptitude, you can become a disciple of one of the elders."
Yun Shu was genuinely grateful that he'd told him so much. If he'd had to figure it all out on his own, it might have taken a lot longer.
"This way." Liu Xuan gestured for Yun Shu to follow.
"This is my junior brother from Spirit Sword Peak, Yun Shu. He's here to sign up for the Alchemy assessment," Liu Xuan told the disciple keeping the records.
The young man was handsome and appeared to be around the Peak Stage of Qi Condensation.
"All right." The disciple glanced at Liu Xuan and smiled. "Aren't you on duty today, Junior Brother Liu?"
"No. Today's the turn of disciples from the other peaks. I came to the Artifact Pill Hall to buy some pills, and then I ran into a junior brother from my own peak signing up, so I brought him over to you." Liu Xuan smiled too.
"Fine. Give me your Jade Token," the senior brother said, glancing at Yun Shu.
