"I …" Guan Xin was embarrassed, but she couldn't say it out loud. She didn't know how to explain.
At that moment, Lin Yi had just finished making the last steamed pork with preserved vegetables, and had just come back. Hearing Boss Bai's question, Lin Yi explained with a smile, "Well, this is actually what happened …"
Lin Yi then told Boss Bai and Madam Bai about his visit to Guan Xuemin's house. Coming from Lin Yi's mouth, it was naturally interesting. Boss Bai and Madam Bai were amused and didn't blame Guan Xin anymore.
"Haha, so that's how it is. Alright, then let's have a taste of Lin Yi's cooking." Boss Bai picked up another piece of meat and carefully put it in his mouth. But this time, he wasn't confident enough to swallow it all at once. Instead, he savored it slowly. But this time, as soon as it entered his mouth, the rich aroma made him swallow the rest of the meat as well. "Delicious! Even better than Xin Xin's cooking?"
Mistress Bai took a bite of the cold dish, nodding to herself. Changing a dish was much harder than cooking, and Guan Xin's dish was already disgusting, but Lin Yi was able to turn it back into a delicacy after putting it back into the wok. Just how skilled did he have to be to do that?
This is not something that can be done by just anyone with good cooking skills.
Guan Xin's face was also full of admiration. Lin Yi didn't do anything last time, so she didn't know that Lin Yi had this kind of ability. Now that she saw Lin Yi, she was even more moved. No wonder her grandpa and master admired him so much!
So when Boss Bai said that Lin Yi was better than her, she wasn't angry. Instead, she felt proud. "Yes, Lin Yi is actually very good …"
"Haha, I thought that Xin Xin wouldn't be happy if Lin Yi was the senior brother, but it seems like that won't be the case, right?" Boss Bai asked with a smile.
"Yes, of course not," Guan Xin nodded matter-of-factly, but she was curious. "Lin Yi, you know alchemy too?"
"I won't." Lin Yi simply shook his head and said: "My constitution is very strange. I can condense a pill fire, but I can't control the intensity and temperature of the fire."
"Is it because your body lacks the wood attribute?" Guan Xin paused.
"That's not it. Maybe there are too many attributes, so it's a mess," Lin Yi said.
"That's right. Lin Yi's body has too many attributes, and they aren't fusing well with each other, causing them to restrain and restrict each other. That's why he's in such a situation. These days, I've been looking through some ancient books left behind by my sect, hoping to find a reliable solution." Boss Bai nodded and said, "But we haven't found anything yet, but we have found some clues. In Lin Yi's case, he lacks an opportunity. If we can combine the several mutually restraining attributes in his body and form a small cycle in his body, the problem will be solved!"
"Minor circulation?" Lin Yi didn't expect Boss Bai to find a solution. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. "In other words, it's still possible for me to make alchemy, right?"
"That's right." Boss Bai nodded and said, "You can indeed make alchemy, and similar situations have happened in the past generations of my sect. It's just that when I left, I took too little information with me. Most of the information I took was related to alchemy, not the records of those strange things. It's impossible to go back and ask about it now."
Lin Yi nodded. He wasn't too disappointed. After all, what Boss Bai said was already a pleasant surprise for Lin Yi. Before, Lin Yi thought that he couldn't make alchemy at all, but now it seemed that he could. It was just that the attributes in his body hadn't fused and formed a small cycle, so there was a situation where they mutually restrained each other.
"It's okay, as long as there's hope," Lin Yi said. "As for the specific method, we can slowly study and explore it."
"Well, come to my study after dinner. I'll show you that book." Boss Bai said.
"Okay." Lin Yi nodded readily.
Guan Xin was confused. These attributes mutually restrained each other, a small cycle. She hadn't come into contact with it before, so she didn't really understand it. However, she only understood one thing, and that was that Lin Yi couldn't make alchemy, but there was hope for him to make alchemy.
"Senior Brother Lin Yi, then you have to work hard. Xinxin is already a first-grade alchemist, and I'm trying to break through to second-grade," Guan Xin said with some pride. She finally had something better than Lin Yi, and could finally become his right-hand man. Guan Xin was very happy today.
Originally, she didn't have much interest in learning alchemy. She only wanted to learn medical knowledge so that she could go back and help Lin Yi's company. Boss Bai's ardent hope made Guan Xin have no choice but to learn alchemy. Now, it seemed that Lin Yi had also come into contact with alchemy, so Guan Xin felt that learning alchemy was a wise choice. She finally had something to surpass Lin Yi.
"Hehe, okay." Lin Yi said with a smile. "Right, Xinxin, you're already trying to break through to second-grade alchemist? Is there any difficulty? "
"Difficulty … Not for now. This thing is practice makes perfect …" Guan Xin shook her head. "I haven't made a second-grade pill yet."
"Actually, that's not the case." Boss Bai suddenly opened his mouth. "The reason why Xinxin's success rate is so low is because the second-grade medicine cauldron I have here is a bit too broken. There's a crack on it, and during the alchemy process, the pill's aura will leak out, so the success rate is naturally much lower than normal. Under these circumstances, Xinxin's low success rate is understandable."
"Crack?" Lin Yi paused. "Teacher Bai, wouldn't you use a medicine cauldron without a crack?"
"This medicine cauldron is what I used when I was learning alchemy. I brought it with me back then as a souvenir. I can't even make pills myself, so what's the point of carrying a good medicine cauldron around?" Boss Bai smiled bitterly. "Who would've thought that after a few decades, I would be able to take in a disciple and teach her alchemy?"
The reason why Boss Bai was teaching outside was to stay away from the disputes of that place, and to find a wood-type inheritor according to the ancestor's teachings. A girl who was born with an extremely keen intuition for herbs. But when Boss Bai saw Guan Xin, he found that she not only had the talent of an inheritor, but also an alchemist, so he taught her alchemy.
Regarding that, Boss Bai really couldn't ask Xuan Chen for a second-grade medicine tripod. After all, Xuan Chen was only inclined to Boss Bai to find a pure successor, not to raise an alchemist (to be continued).
