What? I Haven't Even Taught You Yet, and You've Already Understood?

Jia He looked no more than five or six years old. How could he possibly have become a Da Dou Shi?

Jia He said calmly, "President Fama, there's no need to be surprised. I do have a bit of talent when it comes to cultivation."

Fama let out a deep sigh. "How is that merely a bit of talent? How old are you this year, five?"

Hearing Fama's words, Jia He did not hide it. After all, the two would be dealing with each other for quite some time. "I'm exactly three years old this year."

"Three? You said you're three?" Fama's mouth twitched.

Jia He chuckled. "My constitution is different. I eat a lot, so I grow quickly."

Fama did not know what else to say. A three-year-old child who was a nine-star Da Dou Shi—no one would believe it if they heard it.

"Genius? Even monster doesn't seem enough to describe you. It seems I made the right choice not taking you as my disciple. I truly lack the qualifications!" Fama sighed.

"Enough, enough. Let's teach you how to refine medicine first. Since you already possess the realm of a Dou Zhe, we'll begin by converting your Dou Qi into flames and sensing the wood energy within your body!" Fama put away his shocked expression and looked at Jia He.

Jia He nodded. "Alright!"

Fama then took out a medicinal cauldron. It was a dual-flame-port cauldron suitable for refining pills below the third tier.

"Channel the Dou Qi within your body into the cauldron through this flame port, then search for the wood energy inside yourself!" Fama said seriously.

Jia He placed his palm over the cauldron's flame port. Dou Qi surged within his body before blasting into the cauldron through his palm.

Boom!

In an instant, flames rose within the medicinal cauldron.

Just as Fama was about to continue his guidance, a stream of faint green energy emerged from Jia He's palm once more.

This was the trace of wood energy within Jia He's body. Once it entered the cauldron, the originally raging flames instantly calmed down. The wood energy neutralized the flames, making them more enduring and controllable.

"So quickly?" Fama was beginning to feel numb. A monster truly was different from ordinary people.

Back when Fama had first come into contact with medicinal refinement, merely finding the wood energy within his body had taken him several hours.

But how long had Jia He taken? From converting Dou Qi into flames to using wood energy to neutralize them, less than three minutes had passed.

Fama then said, "Next, you need to control the flames and extract the properties from medicinal ingredients. Remember, every type of ingredient requires a different extraction temperature."

After speaking, Fama swept his sleeve, and dozens of medicinal ingredients appeared before Jia He.

Fama then lightly tapped Jia He's forehead, and information regarding the medicinal ingredients appeared in Jia He's mind.

[You have comprehended the origins of medicinal ingredients, discovering the essence of their growth and extraction. Heaven-Defying Comprehension has been triggered. You have comprehended the Medicinal Dao Method!]

Boom!

In an instant, an enormous flood of information exploded within Jia He's mind.

The Medicinal Dao Method was the method of planting and extracting spiritual herbs. With it, Jia He could use the nature of medicinal ingredients to create medicinal fields suited to their growth.

He could also use those medicinal fields to cultivate ingredients that would bring out their medicinal potency to the fullest. The two complemented each other. No matter what, Jia He would no longer lack medicinal ingredients in the future!

The flames within the medicinal cauldron began to surge fiercely, yet they remained under Jia He's control.

The next moment, Jia He lightly waved his other hand. The potency of the dozens of different ingredients on the ground, along with the temperatures needed to extract them, became fully known to him.

Jia He tossed all the medicinal ingredients into the cauldron at once and began extracting them.

Fama nearly jumped. These medicinal ingredients had different properties and required different extraction temperatures. Even he risked an explosion if he was careless!

Yet the next scene left Fama dumbfounded.

The flames inside the cauldron swept up all the medicinal ingredients, but there was not the slightest sign of the cauldron exploding.

Jia He controlled the flame temperature at a balance point suitable for every ingredient.

"With this level of control, even Gu He would probably praise him if he saw it, wouldn't he?" Fama had truly witnessed Jia He's terrifying talent.

The medicinal ingredients tumbled through the flames, shedding their outer layers as their juices flowed out. Under the scorching heat, they turned into powder, and Jia He extracted their essence.

About ten minutes later, all the dozens of ingredients had been successfully purified, their quality reaching the absolute limit!

The flames within the cauldron withdrew through Jia He's palm. Fama looked at Jia He and said, "You are the most talented alchemist I have ever seen. One day, you will leave the Jia Ma Empire, leave the Northwest Continent, and head for the Central Plains, the place everyone longs for most!"

Jia He said, "Thank you for the praise, President. Are we going to begin fusing the pill now?"

Fama said, "That's right. Medicinal ingredients with different properties are fused together to refine the pills we need. Once they are polished, purified, and condensed to a certain degree, it will be time for the pill to take form!"

"This is the Injury-Healing Pill, a first-tier pill considered top-grade among first-tier pills. See if you can refine it!" Fama took out a scroll and handed it to Jia He.

After taking it, Jia He immediately used his soul power to inspect the pill formula recorded on the scroll.

[You have developed a strong interest in the art of medicinal refinement. Heaven-Defying Comprehension has been triggered. Using the Medicinal Dao Method as a foundation, you have comprehended the Medicinal Pill Dao!]

An even greater flood of information poured into Jia He's mind. The Medicinal Pill Dao, purer and more intricate than the Medicinal Dao Method from before, was comprehended by Jia He.

When he opened his eyes again, Jia He already understood the art of pill refinement. He immediately began refining the first-tier Injury-Healing Pill!

Fama watched as Jia He put down the scroll after only a moment and placed the dozens of purified medicinal ingredients into the cauldron. His eyelids twitched violently.

"Could it be that he understood it again?" Fama no longer knew what purpose he served here.

Jia He's pill-refining technique went from clumsy, to gradually familiar, to proficient in merely half an hour.

During that time, the dozens of medicinal ingredients had already begun pill fusion. Dense flame energy fused them together, and a pill with an uneven, pitted surface had taken shape!

Just as Fama was about to remind Jia He to continue condensing it with flames, he saw the flame energy in the cauldron suddenly intensify.

Alright, Fama knew he had worried for nothing.

As Jia He controlled the flames to condense around the pill, a faint pill pattern appeared on the Injury-Healing Pill.

Time passed, and that faint pill pattern grew increasingly distinct.

At that moment, Jia He lightly slapped the top of the medicinal cauldron. The lid flew off, and a smooth, round pill appeared in Jia He's hand!

"President, this is the Injury-Healing Pill. What do you think?" Jia He handed over the pill he had just refined.

Fama was completely numb by now. Somewhat helplessly, he said, "There's no need to look. You refined it very well. From this moment on, you are already a first-tier alchemist!"

Jia He smiled upon hearing this. "Then, President, what about my alchemist's robe?"

Fama's expression darkened before he said, "You're too young. The guild has not prepared uniforms for someone as small as you. When you're older, I'll assess your alchemist rank again!"

Jia He naturally agreed. He could simply get an alchemist's robe of a higher grade later on.

The day's medicinal refinement lessons came to an end. When Jia He and Yaoyue returned to the office, Fama did not come with them.

Mitchell looked at Jia Xing Tian and said, "The little fellow's talent is quite good. He memorizes medicinal ingredient knowledge fairly quickly. From now on, bringing him to the guild once every other day will be enough!"

Jia Xing Tian nodded. "Alright, I understand!"

Mitchell then left.

Only after Mitchell had left did Jia Xing Tian look at Jia He and ask, "How did your medicinal refinement studies go today?"

"Not bad. This is the first-tier Injury-Healing Pill I refined!" Jia He said, then handed the pill to Jia Xing Tian.

Jia Xing Tian froze instantly. "You can already refine first-tier pills?"

"Mm-hm. Medicinal refinement is fairly simple. The president even said I have decent talent for it!" Jia He said with a smile.

At that moment, Fama was in the pill-refining room, questioning his entire life. People really could not be compared to one another!

Jia Xing Tian handed the Injury-Healing Pill back to him and said, "Simple? It must be because you have exceptional talent, little fellow. You truly are a treasure of the royal family. But it is enough for us to know about this. You absolutely must not let anyone else hear of it!"

Jia He and Yaoyue both nodded.

Yaoyue then wrapped her arms around Jia He's arm and said coquettishly, "No! From now on, besides teaching me, you must also answer every question I ask you!"

"Alright, alright, don't worry. I won't forget about you!" Jia He looked at Yaoyue and shook his head with a helpless smile.

Jia Xing Tian watched Yaoyue cling to Jia He but said nothing. Instead, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

After returning to the palace, Jia He immediately asked Jia Xing Tian to open up a medicinal field in the back mountain and send over some medicinal ingredients for planting.

Jia Xing Tian had always granted Jia He whatever he asked for. He immediately ordered people to cultivate a medicinal field in the back mountain and brought Jia He many high-grade medicinal ingredients from the palace treasury.

Using the Medicinal Pill Method, Jia He planted these medicinal ingredients in the field. At the same time, he refined several mutually beneficial spiritual herbs with flames, dissolved them in water, and used it to irrigate the medicinal field.

Three months later, the ingredients that had originally carried only a faint medicinal fragrance had all advanced from ordinary medicinal ingredients into spiritual herbs.

Jia He believed that, given enough time, the spiritual herbs in this medicinal field would grow into supreme-grade spiritual herbs, sacred herbs, and perhaps even demi-divine herbs.

By then, the medicinal field itself would gradually undergo earth-shaking changes.

Pills refined from higher-quality ingredients would naturally possess even better medicinal effects!

Jia He's daily life in the royal family now consisted of watering the medicinal field and loosening the soil around the spiritual herbs.

Otherwise, he would sit beside Azure Lotus Pond and watch the koi swim through the water.

"I have cultivation methods now, but I seem to lack a handy fighting technique. Should I choose fist techniques, palm techniques, or pursue the path of weapons?" Jia He sat cross-legged in the pavilion, feeling somewhat helpless.

At that moment, the azure lotus before him swayed slightly, while the koi in the pond soared like dragons across the nine heavens. In Jia He's eyes, this scene gradually transformed into traces of movement.

A flash of lightning crossed Jia He's mind, as though he had suddenly realized something. He became increasingly absorbed in the lotus and koi pond before him.
