After sending Xia Xi off, Lu Xuan was deep in thought when Su Ye walked in.
"Young Master Lu, how are your injuries?" Su Ye asked. She had been very concerned about Lu Xuan's injuries for the past few days, and Lu Xuan was already used to it. He smiled and replied, "I'm almost fully recovered."
"That's good. Since that's the case, Young Master Lu, please follow me to a place." Su Ye smiled mysteriously.
Lu Xuan could not help but feel curious. Previously, Xia Xi had the same mysterious smile on his face, and now, Su Ye was the same. When he thought about the great opportunity that Xia Xi mentioned, Lu Xuan could not help but feel a sense of anticipation. Could it be that Su Hexuan was going to give him some treasure?
Lu Xuan immediately followed Su Ye out. Su Ye kept walking into the inner hall, and soon, they arrived at Su Hexuan's study. There was nothing strange about the furnishings in the study. Just as Lu Xuan was wondering what kind of treasure could be in the study, he saw Su Ye lift up a mural on the wall and press down hard on a brick. As she pressed down, the brick instantly caved in. It was obviously a mechanism.
A soft rumble was heard, and Lu Xuan saw that the bookshelf on the right, which was filled with books, began to slowly move to the side. There was a hidden door behind the bookshelf.
"What is it? Why is it hidden so well?" Lu Xuan asked curiously.
Su Ye smiled and said, "Young Master Lu, you will know if you follow me."
There was a flight of stairs behind the hidden door, and it was not very bright. Lu Xuan carefully walked down the stairs, and soon, he smelled a strong medicinal fragrance. Lu Xuan was a true alchemist, so he could naturally tell that this was not the fragrance of a finished pill, but the fragrance of a pill that was in the process of being refined.
Could it be that this was the secret alchemy base of the Hundred Herb Hall? Lu Xuan's imagination ran wild. He did not know why Su Ye had brought him here. He did not agree to become the son-in-law of the Hundred Herb Hall. It would not be good for him to know such a secret, right?
However, Lu Xuan quickly discovered that he was overthinking things. Su Ye had already brought him to their destination. What appeared before Lu Xuan's eyes was a large pond. Furthermore, this pond was not filled with ordinary water. Instead, it was filled with medicinal liquid. The dense medicinal fragrance was also coming from this pond.
Lu Xuan finally understood why the smell he smelled was similar to the smell of a pill being refined. Taking a closer look, the medicinal liquid in the medicinal pool was constantly fluctuating and boiling. It was obvious that there was a warm fire under the pool that was constantly steaming it.
"Young Master Lu, this is a medicinal pool that my grandfather painstakingly created. It has been brewing for more than ten years, and its effects are already very powerful." Su Ye said rather proudly. In order to brew this medicinal pool, the Hundred Herb Hall had spent a great deal of effort. Every single medicinal ingredient was carefully selected.
"Lingxin Ganoderma, Dark Feather Lotus, Scarlet Flame Peacock Blood … Tsk tsk, Old Hall Master Su's generosity is really not small. You've fused all sorts of precious medicinal ingredients into a furnace to create this medicinal pool. If anyone is lucky enough to soak in it and absorb so many powerful medicinal effects, their strength will probably increase explosively." Lu Xuan could not help but say as he distinguished the various medicinal smells in the air.
Su Ye asked curiously, "Young Master Lu, could it be that you also know the Way of Alchemy? I've indeed added some of the medicinal ingredients that you've mentioned. "
Lu Xuan chuckled, "I've indeed learned a little about the Way of Alchemy. Unfortunately, most of my attention was placed on the Martial Way and I did not have the time to study it properly. At most, I can only be considered a Third Grade Alchemist."
"Third Grade Alchemist? Could it be that Young Master Lu has already successfully refined a Seventh Grade Human Tier pill? That's incredible. I've studied Alchemy since I was young, but I'm still only a Third Grade Alchemist. " When Su Ye heard this, she immediately felt ashamed of her own inferiority. Lu Xuan was only a few years older than her, but he was able to become a Third Grade Alchemist just by cultivating Alchemy. Su Ye's achievements were really insignificant.
Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "I've also forgotten how I became a Third Grade Alchemist. However, I'm sure that I've wasted a lot of medicinal ingredients to forcefully push myself up."
Su Ye smiled and said, "An Alchemist is built up by piling up countless spiritual ingredients. Without sufficient medicinal ingredients to practice, it's impossible to become a powerful Alchemist. If Young Master Lu had focused on the Way of Alchemy, I think your achievements would definitely not be inferior to the Martial Way."
Lu Xuan waved his hand dismissively. He was well aware of his own capabilities. The Firmament Pill Canon in his memory was obviously not an ordinary item. He also had the Taiyi Cauldron on him. Although he did not know where these items came from, he could tell that they were extraordinary just by looking at them. These items had helped him a lot in becoming a Third Grade Alchemist.
"Miss Su, why did you bring me here? Could it be that you want to teach me Alchemy?" Lu Xuan asked. "Of course not.
The reason I came here is to introduce this medicinal pool to you. The medicinal properties of this medicinal pool are very strong. If you enter it before you have fully recovered from your injuries, I'm afraid that you will end up making a fool of yourself. Originally, I wanted to tell Young Master Lu about this a few days ago. However, when I saw that your injuries had not healed, I did not mention it. Now that your injuries have healed, you can enter this medicinal pool. "Su Ye pointed at the medicinal pool that was emitting hot steam and revealed a smile.
When Lu Xuan heard this, he could not help but be shocked. Although he was a little envious of the medicinal pool, Lu Xuan also knew how precious it was. Therefore, he did not expect that Su Ye would actually give him the medicinal pool to soak in. Now that she said this, Lu Xuan hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Miss Su, please don't joke around. How could Lu Xuan dare to accept such a generous gift?"
Su Ye's expression turned serious as she said, "Young Master Lu, this is not a joke. I did not make this decision on my own. I only brought Young Master Lu here after obtaining Grandfather's approval. This time, Young Master Lu has saved our entire Hundred Herb Hall from destruction. This is the same as giving us a new lease on life. After thinking about it, this medicinal pool is the only thing that can repay Young Master Lu's kindness. I hope that if the Hundred Herb Hall encounters any difficulties in the future, Young Master Lu will still not hesitate to lend a helping hand."
Seeing that Su Ye's words were sincere, Lu Xuan was not in a hurry to refuse. He could not help but think that the great opportunity that Xia Xi had mentioned to him was probably referring to this place. As for how Xia Xi knew about it, he must have heard it from Su Hexuan.
No wonder Xia Xi was so certain that Lu Xuan's strength would greatly increase in a short period of time. It turned out that he already knew that the Hundred Herb Hall had given this medicinal pool to him. As he looked at the medicinal pool that was emitting a rich medicinal fragrance, Lu Xuan finally made up his mind. He said, "Since Miss Su and Hall Master Su are so kind to me, I will not refuse. In the future, if the Hundred Herb Hall needs anything from me, Lu Xuan, I will do my best to help without any complaints."
"Young Master Lu, please. If you want to completely absorb the medicinal properties in this medicinal pool, I'm afraid that it will take quite some time. I will come over every day to take a look. If Young Master Lu has any requests, please feel free to let me know at any time," Su Ye said.
"Alright." Lu Xuan was also a decisive person. With such a great opportunity in front of him, he really couldn't bear to miss it. At most, he would just owe the Hundred Herb Hall a favor. He immediately took off his outer clothes and jumped into the medicinal pool.
On the other hand, when Su Ye saw Lu Xuan take off his clothes so straightforwardly, her face turned slightly red. Fortunately, Lu Xuan quickly arrived at the medicinal pool, saving her from a trace of embarrassment.
As soon as he entered the medicinal pool, Lu Xuan felt waves of hot air continuously surge towards him from all directions. His entire body couldn't help but heat up. Waves of medicinal energy accompanied the hot air and continuously flowed into Lu Xuan's body. This caused Lu Xuan to be slightly surprised. He didn't expect the medicinal energy in the medicinal pool to be so rich. He hadn't even taken the initiative to absorb it, but the medicinal energy had already entered his body.
Immediately, Lu Xuan stopped thinking about it and began to circulate the Taiyi Origin Technique. For a moment, the medicinal water in the medicinal pool began to undulate involuntarily. Traces of medicinal energy began to be extracted by Lu Xuan and flowed through his meridians to every part of his body.
There were countless types of medicinal ingredients in the medicinal pool with different medicinal properties. However, after Su Hexuan's mixing, they all complemented each other and didn't conflict with each other. Therefore, Lu Xuan didn't need to worry at all when absorbing the medicinal energy. All he needed was to convert all of it into the energy he needed.
The reason why Su Hexuan had created this medicinal pool was so that one day, when Su Ye found a husband, he would be able to raise his strength in a short period of time. This way, he would be able to control Hundred Herb Hall. Therefore, besides a portion of the medicinal ingredients used to strengthen one's body, the rest were mostly used to increase one's strength. Right now, as Lu Xuan continued to absorb the medicinal energy, the Yuan Power in his body began to grow uncontrollably.
The Yuan Dan in Lu Xuan's Dantian continued to revolve as it grew larger and more solid. Soon, it reached its limit and could no longer grow. However, as the medicinal energy surged into his body, Lu Xuan's meridians and acupuncture points were once again filled with dark golden Yuan Power.
Beads of sweat appeared on Lu Xuan's forehead. He didn't know if it was due to the heat or the swelling pain from the Yuan Power in his body. However, with his previous experience of breaking through to the Origin Stage, this time, Lu Xuan was clearly more familiar with the process.
As his cultivation method revolved, Lu Xuan controlled the flow of Yuan Power and directed it towards his Dantian. Currently, there was a Yuan Dan in Lu Xuan's Dantian, as well as a Sword Crystal that he couldn't remember the name of. However, he knew that this Sword Crystal had an extremely mystical ability.
As more and more Yuanli converged in his dantian, the Primal Core shone with a faint luster at that very moment, and the Sword Crystal's rotation became noticeably faster. Lu Xuan did not stop what he was doing, channeling the Yuanli into his dantian as usual. Eventually, both the Primal Core and the Sword Crystal could no longer hold themselves back. A burst of light was seen, and the scattered Yuanli was forcibly condensed.
Another elemental elixir took shape. Although it was weaker than the first one, it was still an elemental elixir. This was Lu Xuan's second elemental elixir. Its appearance meant that Lu Xuan's prowess had taken another step forward. The second level of the Returning Origin Realm!
