An Ability Far Beyond the Limit

Fang Qiuhe glanced at Lu Qing'an, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Then let's use this Pill Cauldron directly!"

Are you sure you can make decisions on behalf of your master?

"It's alright! As long as I can help you, senior!" Fang Qiuhe gritted her teeth and nodded firmly.

"Alright, I'll remember this favor," Lu Qing'an said.

"I still owe you my life, senior! Consider this my way of repaying you with my life!" Fang Qiuhe hurriedly waved her hands, her cheeks still slightly flushed, wishing she could shout "Absolutely not!" again.

Seeing this scene, Xue Tianfei felt a little pressured again.

Wow, this guy is so handsome, he can make any girl fall for him.

Lu Qing'an didn't dwell on it too much and nodded casually. After all, anyone who could make him a friend would naturally bring him benefits.

"By the way, this kid has a special ability: he can talk to potions. Have you ever seen anything like that before?" Lu Qing'an pointed at Xu Xuanyu.

He had never heard of such an ability before. Fang Qiuhe had followed Dao of Alchemy Master for so many years, and alchemists all had to study medicines, so it was hard to say whether she had heard of such an ability.

Upon hearing this, Fang Qiuhe quickly turned to look at Xu Xuanyu.

Can you talk to potions?

ah?

Is this real or fake?

"Senior, I've never heard of this ability. Could it be... that the potion is so old that it has developed sentience?"

"No, this kid can even communicate with the lowest-level potions."

Lu Qing'an brought this up because he had an idea: to have Xu Xuanyu become a disciple of Dao of Alchemy Master.

Once Xu Xuanyu has truly recovered, his cultivation speed will be even faster once he enters the Dao through the elixir.

After all, having such a unique ability would be a waste of talent if not used properly.

"Is there really such a strange thing?" Fang Qiuhe's voice was a little unsure of herself. When she looked at Xu Xuanyu Xu Xuanyu, she noticed that he had no aura of cultivation, which made her even more puzzled.

"Senior, why does this fellow Daoist have no aura of cultivation at all?"

"His cultivation was destroyed, his Dantian was completely ruined, and his meridians were all severed. That's why I came to your master to see if we could use alchemy to find a way to restore his body for cultivation," Lu Qing'an said.

Fang Qiuhe said, "May I take a look? I might as well try to see if I can help this fellow Daoist."

This wasn't the first time she'd encountered someone crippled like this. Back then, an even more unusual person came to her master for help. Her master had a solution, but the required medicinal herbs were extremely rare. That person was alone and had no cultivation left, so he eventually left.

She also consulted her master about how to treat such a person during that incident.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing'an became interested.

If Fang Qiuhe can do it, then why bother finding Dao of Alchemy Master?

"Can."

With Xu Xuanyu's cooperation, Fang Qiuhe thoroughly examined Xu Xuanyu's body, and finally frowned.

"The person who crippled this fellow Daoist's cultivation is Great Emperor Realm expert, and this person is rather vicious, deliberately adding a special Emperor Position imprint. If it weren't for such a vicious method, I could still try, but..."

Lu Qing'an said, "So only your master can be one?"

Fang Qiuhe awkwardly tapped her right palm with her left fingers. "Yes... I'm sorry I couldn't help this fellow Daoist."

She was hoping to make a good impression on this senior colleague.

"Fine."

Fang Qiuhe gave an awkward laugh, then looked at Xu Xuanyu and began to verify what she had just heard.

"Fellow Daoist, I have a magical herb here, one that has been harvested long ago. Can you still speak to it?"

This was the first time she had ever heard of such a strange ability, but the Eternal Night Demon Emperor had no reason to lie to her.

Xu Xuanyu smiled and nodded, taking the potion, and then said directly, "This is a Fire-Patterned Seven-Leaf Orchid that is 327 years and 4 months old. Its medicinal power is mainly accumulated in the second segment of its rhizome. It grows in the shadows three zhang west of the Lava fissure. It used to complain that the Heart-Devouring Vine next door stole its Fire Spiritual Qi. It also said... that back then, a Two-Headed Fire Lizard would always come to gnaw on its leaves during the full moon. But now, something has made it very angry, and it is questioning why it was put in the same jade box as the annoying Ice Marrow Grass."

A glint flashed in Fang Qiuhe's eyes when she heard Xu Xuanyu recount the details of the potion.

But the more she listened, the more it felt like her brain was being electrified, gradually numbing her scalp.

Ah?!!

"The most interesting thing is..." Xu Xuanyu suddenly revealed a strange smile, "It said that the female cultivator who picked it accidentally tripped and fell in the crater, her big buttocks landing on it and crushing its most prized seventh leaf."

Fang Qiuhe flushed instantly; she had indeed slipped and fallen while collecting samples back then!

How did he know all this?!

Lu Qing'an and Xue Tianfei listened to Xu Xuanyu's detailed account of the elixir and were also full of surprise.

They thought Xu Xuanyu could only state the specific year and effect of a magic potion.

How could this possibly know everything a magic potion has gone through?

Considering Fang Qiuhe's current appearance, the answer is clear.

"Is what he said true? Do you think this ability would be useful for alchemy?" Lu Qing'an looked at Fang Qiuhe and asked with a smile.

"This... this is amazing!! I've never seen anything like it before! This will naturally aid in alchemy! After all, being able to know so much about magical potions is an ability that any top Alchemist would want to possess!"

In the art of alchemy, while alchemical techniques and skills are important, a thorough understanding of the ingredients is of paramount importance.

Many Alchemist must first learn about various magical potions before they can learn alchemy.

Now that Xu Xuanyu has such abilities, he can almost skip this step.

He's practically a chosen Alchemist!

"If he recovers his cultivation, let him join your sect," Lu Qing'an said.

Fang Qiuhe's eyes lit up. "That's definitely a good thing!"

Xu Xuanyu quickly looked at Lu Qing'an, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Brother-in-law!

You've even planned out my future path?!

"Alright, I'll go find your master first."

"Uh-huh!"

Lu Qing'an looked at the Pill Cauldron and, under the influence of Demonic Qi, instantly controlled the Pill Cauldron to rise into the air.

A compass-sized array disc had appeared in his hand, with a void on it and a suction force emanating from it.

Simply place the Pill Cauldron into this space to activate the formation.

Just as he was about to place the Pill Cauldron into the array plate, Xu Xuanyu, who had been calm just a moment ago, suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Brother-in-law! Wait! Something's wrong!"

Lu Qing'an stopped what he was doing.

"What's the meaning?"

Xu Xuanyu quickly said, "Brother-in-law! This, this Pill Cauldron seems to be talking to me!!"

After these words, everyone present looked at Xu Xuanyu with great confusion.

It's not that you can talk to potions.

You're saying you can still communicate with the Pill Cauldron?!

That's a bit over the limit!
