Qingyun Dao Sect.
The golden sun hung high in the sky.
The sun was warm.
The smile on Xu Luochen's face was even more gentle.
Xu Luochen was in a good mood.
Firstly, he had finally memorized all the basic pill recipes.
Secondly, it had indeed delayed Ye Ping's cultivation progress.
In particular, the smile on Xu Luochen's face widened when he thought of Su Changyu's appearance.
Thinking of this, Xu Luochen had no choice but to teach Su Changyu a lesson again.
As the Eldest Senior Brother, just because the Youngest Junior Brother's aptitude was poor, he threw a tantrum and stood alone on the back cliff.
Wasn't it embarrassing?
Don't you have any sense of responsibility as the eldest senior brother?
However, Xu Luochen did not come over today to check on Ye Ping's alchemy progress.
He was mainly there to teach Ye Ping true alchemy.
After all, it had been almost a month. It was time to teach something real, right?
He couldn't possibly keep fooling Ye Ping with non-poisonous pills, right? Xu Luochen was not a simple-minded person, and he simply wanted Ye Ping to back off in the face of difficulties.
Look, he first taught Ye Ping an alchemy technique that was impossible to succeed before teaching him the basics. If Ye Ping really had talent in alchemy, he wouldn't be arrogant and complacent. After all, it was just basic alchemy.
If Ye Ping could not even refine ordinary pills, that would be even better. He could continue to stay in the sect to hone his skills.
No matter what, it was the best of both worlds.
As for Ye Ping's success in refining pills?
Hehe.
Xu Luochen was not bragging, but if Ye Ping could really refine non-poisonous pills, he would eat the only alchemy furnace in the Qingyun Dao Sect.
Don't chew, just swallow.
He swallowed the alchemy furnace in front of all the Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters of the Qingyun Dao Sect.
Refining a non-poisonous pill?
When Xu Luochen bragged about it back then, he even felt a little embarrassed.
At the thought of this, Xu Luochen restrained the smile on his face a little, and he seemed rather gentle and not slutty.
Xu Luochen soon arrived at the rear cliff.
Coincidentally, Ye Ping was sitting on the ground, seemingly studying something.
"Junior Martial Brother Ye."
In the next moment, Xu Luochen spoke again.
On the back cliff.
Ye Ping, who was thinking hard, suddenly snapped back to his senses.
He was fully focused on the non-poisonous pill in his hand, so he didn't notice Xu Luochen's appearance.
Upon sight of Xu Luochen, Ye Ping immediately stood up and bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Senior Brother Luochen."
"Don't stand on ceremony."
Xu Luochen chuckled and then looked at Ye Ping. "Junior Brother Ye, how have you been?"
"It's alright."
Ye Ping nodded, feeling a little embarrassed at the same time.
Although he had succeeded in concocting the pill, it was not a complete pill, so he felt a little awkward and didn't know if he should bring it up.
"En, I saw you frowning a few days ago, but now you look pretty good. You should have made some progress. How's your alchemy going?"
Xu Luochen asked casually.
"Replying to Senior Brother, I've made some progress."
Ye Ping did not dare to say that he had succeeded, so he could only describe it as a small success.
Minor achievement?
Xu Luochen was slightly stunned.
What was the meaning of this?
"What do you mean by Minor Accomplishment?"
Xu Luochen's eyes were full of curiosity.
He did not quite understand the meaning of this sentence.
"Senior Brother, the pill was refined, but it wasn't completely refined."
Ye Ping answered.
In an instant, Xu Luochen fell silent.
He looked at Ye Ping, and the gentle smile on his face gradually faded away.
"Junior Brother Ye."
Xu Luochen said.
"Yes, Junior Brother."
Xu Luochen said seriously, "Although your aptitude is ordinary, the Sect Leader and Eldest Senior Brother have said that you have a good temperament and are simple and kind. Even if you can't refine pills, you can't lie. Do you understand?"
Xu Luochen said seriously.
It wasn't that he didn't believe that Ye Ping didn't have alchemy talent, but rather, the alchemy technique that he gave Ye Ping was completely fabricated.
'Creation Pill Refinement Technique?' 'Non-poisonous pill refinement?' If he took it out, the 100,000 alchemists would slap him.
'Ye Ping said that he can refine pills?'
'You can't brag like that, can you?'
'Why are you better at bragging than Eldest Senior Brother?'
"Junior Brother, you didn't lie, did you?"
Ye Ping answered seriously.
'Didn't lie?'
'Really?'
'I don't believe it.'
Xu Luochen didn't believe it from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't lecture Ye Ping directly.
"In that case, why don't you show your finished pill to me?"
Xu Luochen was full of disbelief.
"Please enlighten me, Senior Brother."
Ye Ping didn't waste any time and simply opened his palm.
In an instant, a crystal-clear pill that was like a diamond appeared in his hand.
The pill was not large and was only the size of a soybean. It shone under the sun and looked more like a gem than a pill.
"Is this a pill?"
Xu Luochen was a little stunned.
'You call this a pill?'
"Yes."
Ye Ping nodded.
In an instant, Xu Luochen fell silent.
He didn't know what to say, but soon, the faint fragrance of the pill spread, making Xu Luochen stunned.
"Let me see it."
Xu Luochen still didn't believe it, but he couldn't help but want to see the pill.
"Please enlighten me, Senior Brother."
Ye Ping didn't say much and simply handed the pill to Xu Luochen.
The latter took the pill and ignored Ye Ping, observing it carefully.
Although Xu Luochen had failed the alchemy exam seven times, it didn't mean that he didn't know how to appraise pills.
Just by holding it in his hand, Xu Luochen was astonished.
"Spirit Gathering Pill."
Xu Luochen immediately detected what pill it was.
He was surprised.
The Spirit Gathering Pill could be said to be the most common pill in the world of immortal cultivation because Qi Refinement cultivators, Foundation Establishment cultivators, and Golden Core Perfected Ones all needed such pills.
As the name suggested, the Spirit Gathering Pill was a pill that gathered spiritual energy. Swallowing a Spirit Gathering Pill was equivalent to swallowing two Qi Refinement Pills of the same quality.
The side effects were the same, but the effect was twice that of the Qi Refinement Pill. Besides, one only needed to spend some time to refine it.
Unlike the Qi Refinement Pill, one had to meditate and refine it after swallowing it. Hence, the Spirit Gathering Pill was generally a pill that only the disciples of the major sects could enjoy. For sects like the Qingyun Dao Sect, having Qi Refinement Pills was already a good thing.
'How could there be a Spirit Gathering Pill?'
More importantly, this Essence Gathering Pill seemed to be different from the Essence Gathering Pills he had seen before.
Xu Luochen thought about it.
The Spirit Gathering Pill he had seen before was about the same size. It was white like white rice and emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.
However, the Spirit Gathering Pill in front of him was not only the size of a soybean, but it was also crystal clear like a gemstone.
More importantly, the spiritual energy contained in the Spirit Gathering Pill was very rich and Xu Luochen could feel it.
'Supreme-Grade Spirit Gathering Pill? '
In an instant, Xu Luochen thought of a possibility.
'Only supreme-grade Spirit Gathering Pills would be like that, right? '
'But why does Ye Ping have a supreme-grade Spirit Gathering Pill? '
Xu Luochen frowned.
"Junior Brother Ye, who gave you this pill?"
In the next moment, Xu Luochen couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it. Hence, he couldn't help but ask Ye Ping who gave him the pill.
"Senior brother, this was really refined by junior brother."
Ye Ping was also a little puzzled as he didn't quite understand why Senior Brother Luochen refused to believe that he had refined the pill.
'Oh! '
In the next moment, Ye Ping understood.
'The pill that I refined is not a complete pill. The pill that Senior Brother Luochen refined is naturally a complete pill. Hence, my semi-finished product seems a little unfamiliar to Senior Brother Luochen. '
At the thought of this, Ye Ping immediately spoke up.
"Senior Brother Luochen, I haven't started cultivating yet, so the spiritual energy in my body is insufficient. Besides, my aptitude is slightly poor, so I can't successfully refine a complete pill. Hence, there might be some errors."
Ye Ping explained.
However, his words seemed a little harsh to Xu Luochen.
'This is called poor aptitude? '
Putting everything else aside, the requirement for a third-grade alchemist was to be able to refine a furnace of completed Qi Refinement Pills. Even if it was inferior to an inferior-grade pill, it was at least a Qi Refinement Pill. Refining one pill in one furnace would be considered a pass.
Pills like the Spirit Gathering Pill were the requirements for a second-grade alchemist.
Even if the Spirit Gathering Pill in his hand was not a supreme-grade Spirit Gathering Pill, it was at least a superior-grade one.
In other words, even a second-grade alchemist would find it difficult to refine superior-grade Spirit Gathering Pills.
'How long have you been learning? '
'Just a month? '
'You can refine superior-grade or even supreme-grade Spirit Gathering Pills? '
'You call that poor aptitude? '
'What about me, Xu Luochen? '
'Wouldn't I be nothing? '
'Okay. '
'Little Junior Brother, Little Junior Brother. '
'You were the one who pretended to be impressive first. '
'I have a gentle personality, but I can't tolerate everything. Even your eldest Senior Brother doesn't have the guts to pretend to be impressive in front of me. '
Xu Luochen was full of complaints.
At this moment, he took a deep breath and looked at Ye Ping calmly.
"In that case, Ye Ping, demonstrate the alchemy process to me again so that I can give you some pointers."
Xu Luochen's expression was calm.
He wanted to see how Ye Ping was going to keep up appearances.
"Okay, but the alchemy process will take several hours. Senior Brother, you're not busy, are you?"
Ye Ping reminded him kindly.
The spiritual energy in his body was not sufficient, so it would take several hours for him to refine the pill.
However, in Xu Luochen's eyes, those words became an excuse to escape.
"It's alright, I have plenty of time."
Xu Luochen couldn't help but smile gently again and look at Ye Ping.
He was going to make things difficult for him today.
At the same time, Xu Luochen had already prepared an excuse to teach Ye Ping a lesson.
'Liars have to swallow a thousand needles. '
'One should be upright and not lie. '
'Gentlemen are like jade and it's immoral to lie. '
However, in the next moment …
Ye Ping sat cross-legged.
Immediately afterwards, the spiritual energy surged and Xu Luochen snapped back to his senses.
Sizzle!
A large amount of spiritual energy appeared in Ye Ping's hand and made some sounds.
Xu Luochen was a little curious.
However, soon, a beam of light appeared in Ye Ping's palm.
Xu Luochen was even more curious.
Eight hours passed.
Xu Luochen's eyes were a little sore and his legs were a little numb.
However, he was still looking at Ye Ping with full attention.
Sizzle!
Right at this moment, an extremely dazzling white light flashed.
Xu Luochen's vision turned white, and when he regained his vision, Ye Ping was already sweating profusely, as if he had done a lot.
However, when Xu Luochen saw a gem-like Spirit Gathering Pill in Ye Ping's palm.
He … couldn't laugh anymore.
