Jade Liquid

Three days later.

The Transmission Platform.

Fang Yu arrived early and, after being verified by the talisman, entered the preaching area.

At this time, there were already many senior disciples here, most of whom were in the mid-to-late stage of Qi Refining, and there were also quite a few inner disciple in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

At this moment, small circles were forming around those Foundation Establishment Realm disciples.

It's rare to see someone like Fang Yu, who is in the Early Stage of Qi Refining. He casually walked around the arena, listening intently to the conversations in the various small groups.

"Yesterday, when I opened the furnace to retrieve the elixir, I saw that the ' Li Fire Golden Liquid ' was faintly tinged with cloud patterns. I then realized that the ' Scarlet Yang Flower's' fiery nature was not yet tamed, and it should be tempered with three drops of ' Profound Ice Lotus ' night dew."

"The Profound Ice Lotus is cold in nature but contains the vitality of Lesser Yang. When harvesting it, the roots must be wrapped with the essence of Wood Spirit, otherwise the coldness will corrode its medicinal essence."

"Have any of you tried combining ' Earth Vein Purple Lingzhi ' with 'Millennial Stone Marrow'? These two substances are rich in the essence of Wu Earth. If they are simmered over a low flame for seven days using the ' Nine Revolutions Origin-Nurturing Method,' they can become the base liquid for ' Yellow Sprout Pill '... Unfortunately, if the flame is too strong, it will solidify into a stubborn stone."

"Last month, when I was refining the ' Condensed Dew Pill,' the ' Heavenly River Sand ' kept clashing with the Spiritual Qi of the 'Evening Primrose'..."

"Plants, trees, metals, and stones are merely mediums; water, fire, yin, and yang are all derived from the same mind..."

"..."

Fang Yu initially thought that these people were discussing the most popular topic right now: the opening of the ' Nine-Lock Azure Terrace ' secret realm. However, after listening carefully, he realized that most of the cultivators here were discussing their alchemy experiences, while there was very little discussion about the opening of the Nine-Lock Azure Terrace Secret Realm.

'I never expected the atmosphere of Dao of Alchemy here to be so strong!'

Fang Yu thought to himself, then walked towards a circle. When a cultivator finished explaining the problems he encountered while refining the Qi Gathering Pill, he chimed in with a word of agreement.

"I've encountered this problem before. It's due to insufficient medicinal properties of the Void Vine. Although both are ten-year-old medicinal plants, there are differences. When refining them, they need to be simmered over a low flame..."

As soon as Fang Yu finished speaking, several gazes turned to him. The Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator who had raised the question brightened up and said, "This junior brother is right. I thought the problem lay with this Void Vine before. May I ask how this junior brother is addressed?"

"My name is Jiang Yao, and I greet all my fellow disciples!"

"Junior Brother Jiang, please tell me the specific methods used to handle this..."

"..."

In just a short while, Fang Yu integrated into a small circle. However, he only spoke a few words about Qi Gathering Pill and ordinary spirit medicine, maintaining his Dao of Alchemy as a novice in alchemy who could only refine a few First-Tier Inferior-Grade pills such as Qi Gathering Pill.

When the conversation turned to second-tier pills, he immediately began to humbly seek knowledge, which inspired the noble quality of everyone present who were eager to teach him. They answered his questions fluently, which led to more and more people gathering in their small circle, and he successfully became a familiar face.

"Clang clang clang..."

Just as they were having a lively conversation, the bell suddenly rang.

"Senior Brother Jiang is almost here! Quick, quick, let's go greet him!"

The crowd surged toward the entrance, and after a short while, a young man with phoenix eyes and red eyebrows landed at the entrance with two young disciples and walked in.

"Greetings, Senior Brother!"

Everyone immediately bowed in respect.

With a smile on his face, the young man walked through the crowd and arrived at the high platform. He sat down cross-legged, and two young disciples stepped back two steps and stood behind him.

The crowd below the stage quickly found their seats. Fang Yu was about to head to the Qi Refining Realm seats at the back when a voice called out to him.

"Jiang Yao, come sit with me at the front!"

"Thank you True Person Jade Liquid!"

"No need for formalities, just call me Senior Brother!"

"Okay, senior brother!"

Fang Yu seized the opportunity and followed True Person Jade Liquid to sit down in the front row.

This person was the Foundation Establishment Realm Dao of Alchemy in that small circle. Fang Yu had asked him for advice several times, and his questions had hit the nail on the head, attracting his attention. Now, he was called to sit in the front row, which immediately drew the attention of many people.

However, once ' Jiang Xiasheng ' started lecturing, no one paid any more attention to him, a mere Qi Refining Realm cultivator.

"The Dao of Alchemy is like the Heavenly Dao, diminishing the excess and replenishing the deficiency. The mind is the furnace, the spirit is the fire, herbs and trees are the ignition, and Yin and Yang are the charcoal. You should observe the properties of the medicine with reverence, control the fire with perseverance, and comprehend the ultimate truth..."

Fang Yu also focused his attention and listened attentively to the lecture given by this third-tier high-grade alchemy Master.

As time went by, Jiang Xiasheng's explanations became more and more in-depth, and most of the people present showed signs of deep thought. Fang Yu also showed a look of confusion, but he firmly remembered what this ' Jiang Xiasheng ' was saying.

Although he had already reached the level of a third-grade high-level alchemy Master and could refine pills such as the ' Golden Core Formation Pill ', he had not studied systematically and was entirely self-taught. After listening to what Jiang Xiasheng said, he suddenly understood.

'Indeed, it's better to be in the Spirit Transformation Sect; I obtained this third-tier alchemy inheritance so easily.'

Fang Yu thought to himself and listened even more attentively.

About two hours later, Jiang Xiasheng stopped and looked around at everyone. "If any of you have any doubts, please feel free to speak."

The True Person Jade Liquid, sitting next to Fang Yu, immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "May I ask, Senior Brother, how should the Earth Vein Purple Lingzhi be blended with the Thousand-Year Stone Marrow...?"

Jiang Xiasheng then answered in detail, which made True Person Jade Liquid's eyes light up. After he finished explaining, Yu Ye Zhenren bowed repeatedly.

Then someone else stood up to ask a question, and Jiang Xiasheng answered them one by one.

Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was the second day. The time spent on answering the question was longer than the time spent on preaching.

Fang Yu did have a few questions in his mind at this moment, but these questions were too advanced and not suitable for his current status, so he could only hold back and prepare to test them himself when he returned.

When it grew dark again, and no one asked any questions, Jiang Xiasheng got up and left.

"Respectfully seeing off my senior brother!"

After seeing Jiang Xiasheng off, the crowd did not disperse. Instead, they gathered again to discuss what Jiang Xiasheng had said earlier.

Fang Yu then asked some questions, and at the same time took the opportunity to collect Pill Formula from these people.

Different people may give different Pill Formula for the same type of pill, especially for some common first and second-tier pills. Because the production of spirit medicine fluctuates, many different versions of the Pill Formula have been developed to facilitate substitution and ensure the production of pills.

The discussion lasted for several more days before the crowd gradually dispersed. Fang Yu stayed until the very end, bidding farewell to True Person Jade Liquid when he said it was time to leave.

Just then, Jade Liquid True Person Jade Liquid spoke up, "Junior Brother Jiang Yao, would you be interested in doing your senior brother a small favor?"

Fang Yu immediately asked, "Senior brother, please give your instructions. I will do my utmost to fulfill any request that I can make."

"Hehehe!" True Person Jade Liquid laughed, "It's nothing serious. I currently have quite a few orders for pills, some of which require a large quantity of first-grade pills. I'm a bit short-handed. Although you're new to Dao of Alchemy, your foundation is very solid, and your future achievements will surely be extraordinary. You just lack some training. If you're willing, I can give you some orders for first-grade pills."

Fang Yu was overjoyed upon hearing this. "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother. I am naturally willing!"

"That's good!" True Person Jade Liquid nodded. "Do you have any requirements regarding the cost of this refining?"

"No charge!" Fang Yu immediately replied, "It's already a great fortuitous opportunity for Senior Brother to give me this chance to practice. How could I dare to ask Senior Brother for any fees? I'm just afraid that my skills are not yet proficient enough, which would increase the consumption of spiritual materials!"

"Hahaha!" True Person Jade Liquid laughed, "The loss of spiritual materials is perfectly normal. According to convention, you only need to succeed with one out of three sets of spiritual materials. The remaining spiritual materials will be yours, how about that?"

Fang Yu immediately replied, "I will do whatever my senior brother says."
