After hurriedly passing through You Leng Valley and arriving at the ancient hall, he saw the beautiful Elder glaring at him coldly.
"What time is it now?" Elder Lingxin stood in front of the main hall with a gloomy face.
Chu Chen scratched his head subconsciously. He did not understand why this temperamental Elder was so angry. "Am I punctual?"
"I'm slow-witted. Elder, please enlighten me." Chu Chen had no choice but to bow.
"Yesterday, I asked you to come at 7: 15 am. Look at yourself. How late are you?" The beautiful Elder pointed to the side. "I lit this incense stick at 7: 15 am. Now, it's already burned down by 10%. That is to say, you're a full five seconds late! "
Elder Lingxin stared at Chu Chen with an increasingly cold expression. "What do you mean by five seconds? If you're late by five seconds in a battle, even if you die ten times, it won't be enough. If you boil a cauldron of elixirs, no matter how much you burn it, it's enough to destroy the medicinal properties of the elixirs. "
Chu Chen was a little surprised by Elder Lingxin's seriousness.
In fact, the outer core disciples of Biquan Xianzong had very loose rules. As long as they paid enough for the monthly prescription, the sect did not impose too many restrictions on them at other times. Therefore, many outer core disciples were extremely lazy and negligent.
The path of cultivation itself was an extremely boring path. If one had to do this and that on time every day without missing a single minute, how many people would be able to endure it?
Chu Chen had been running around for many years and was extremely self-disciplined. He was one of the few outer core disciples who had the habit of being punctual. This time, he was delayed for a moment because he was found by the outer core's eldest senior brother.
"Elder, you're right. I'll remember it in my heart and never do it again." Chu Chen respectfully bowed. Now, he finally understood how strict this beautiful elder was. It was no wonder. With such a harsh personality, there were not many people who could stand it.
"If you're late next time, you don't have to come!" Seeing Chu Chen's modest attitude, the beautiful Elder's expression softened a little. "Well, today I'm going to refine another cauldron of elixirs. Now, you'll start learning from the most basic step of washing herbs!"
When he really started learning, Chu Chen found that refining elixirs was a trivial matter. The details of the procedures were simply unimaginable.
Not to mention other things, just washing herbs, soaking herbs, and dividing the herbs. There were many things to pay attention to. In addition, Elder Lingxin was strict with both others and herself. In order to maximize the efficacy of each batch of elixirs, she was extremely strict with every detail in the process of refining elixirs. Not a single mistake could be tolerated.
In the beginning, because Chu Chen was not familiar with the process of washing medicine, he would be coldly reprimanded by Elder Lingxin almost every once in a while.
Chu Chen did not take these reprimands to heart. Instead, he remembered every mistake and inaccuracy he made. This was because he was very clear that alchemy was a skill that required a lot of basic skills.
If the basics were not solid, it was impossible to be a successful pharmacist.
With a "teacher" like Elder Lingxin who demanded perfection, Chu Chen naturally did not care about her strictness. He silently followed her instructions and made himself more and more perfect step by step.
Chu Chen felt that he was like a sponge, constantly absorbing every bit of knowledge and skill that Elder Lingxin passed on to him. Unknowingly, he gradually began his own path of becoming a spiritual pharmacist.
"This kid is a promising talent."
Elder Lingxin looked at Chu Chen's meticulous manner and was very satisfied. Not to mention other things, no matter how she reprimanded him, he never talked back. Instead, he did his best to improve himself. Just with this kind of attitude, his future achievements were limitless.
Ever since she became an Elder, Lingxin had seen too many disciples. Because they were young and vigorous, they could not bear any grievances. If she reprimanded them, they would rebut her with ten.
Elder Lingxin was naturally very experienced in dealing with such disciples. She would just say "get lost" and then kick them out of the door.
On the contrary, Chu Chen's temperament was like a piece of unpolished gold. The process of forging was also a process of constant cutting and tempering.
Although this process was like enduring physical pain, one day, after being hammered and chiseled, he would blossom with unparalleled brilliance!
Elder Lingxin had always regarded the disciples who came to take on missions as passersby. However, she found that she could not help but look forward to the future of this young man, whether it was a spiritual pharmacist or a path of cultivation.
On the other hand, Chu Chen, who was doing high-intensity "physical labor", gradually discovered that the Ancient Hall of Medicine Refinery emitted a strong medicinal fragrance all year round. It was the condensation of the essence of many finished medicinal pills. It was extremely beneficial to the human body.
Working in this ancient hall, Chu Chen, even if he did not deliberately cultivate, he could still feel the faint medicinal power in the air subtly changing his physical body and strengthening his blood, flesh, tendons, and bones.
Although this process was slow, the advantage was that it was carried out all the time.
Even his Spirit Qi, which had reached the ninth level of the Spirit Qi Realm, had imperceptibly become more condensed and dense under the influence of these medicinal effects. This Ancient Hall of Medicine Refinery was really a treasure trove!
It seemed that he had to find more opportunities to work here in the future. It should be especially effective in strengthening himself.
Time flew by quickly. When Chu Chen finished all the tasks at hand and cleaned up the ancient hall, he looked up and discovered that the sky outside had unknowingly darkened.
After a busy day, the preparatory steps for the beautiful teacher's medicine refinery were basically completed.
Just the preparatory steps alone had taken an entire day. If other alchemists saw this, they would probably feel that it was too dragging.
It seemed that only Elder Lingxin, who pursued perfection in everything, could be so meticulous. At the same time, Chu Chen also understood that Elder Lingxin must have deliberately slowed down the pace so that he could learn the basics well.
"Alright, tomorrow at 5 a.m., when the sky and earth turn from night to day and when Yin and Yang converge, open the furnace and refine the medicine. Go back early today so that you won't be late tomorrow and delay my time. "
Seeing that all the preparatory work was almost done, Elder Lingxin nodded and casually threw out a small porcelain bottle, which Chu Chen caught. "This is your reward for today. Remember, you are not allowed to be late tomorrow. "
"I will remember." Chu Chen took the elixir and couldn't help but secretly click his tongue. In the entire Biquan Xianzong, perhaps only Elder Lingxin, who was an alchemy master, could be so generous as to give a small bottle of elixir to her disciple every day.
This small white porcelain bottle could roughly store three elixir pills. If they were all level-one Spirit Gathering Elixir pills, it would be an incredible amount after one month!
At the same time, Chu Chen also realized that Elder Lingxin, who seemed to be extremely strict, was very considerate. He didn't say anything, but she knew that he needed the Spirit Gathering Elixir and directly gave it to him.
After hurriedly passing through You Leng Valley and arriving at the ancient palace, he saw the beautiful Elder staring at him coldly with an angry face.
"What time is it now?" Elder Lingxin stood in front of the main hall with a gloomy face.
Chu Chen subconsciously scratched his head. He didn't understand why this temperamental Elder was so angry. He was still considered punctual, right?
"I am slow-witted. Elder, please enlighten me." Chu Chen had no choice but to bow.
"Yesterday, I told you to come at 7 a.m., but look at yourself. How late are you?" The beautiful Elder pointed to the side. "I lit this incense at 7 a.m., and now, 10 percent of it has been burned. In other words, you are a full five seconds late! "
Elder Lingxin stared at Chu Chen with an increasingly cold expression. "What does five seconds mean? If you are late by five seconds in a battle, even if you die ten times, it won't be enough. If you boil a cauldron of elixir pills, no matter how much you burn it, it is enough to destroy the medicinal properties of a cauldron of elixir pills. "

"This lad is a talent that can be molded."
Elder Lingxin looked at Chu Chen's meticulous manner and was very satisfied. Not to mention other things, no matter how she reprimanded him, he never talked back. Instead, he did his best to improve himself. With this kind of temperament, his future achievements were limitless.
Since becoming an Elder, Lingxin had seen too many disciples. Because they were young and vigorous, they could not bear the slightest grievance. If she reprimanded them, they would rebut her with ten.
Elder Lingxin was naturally very experienced in dealing with such disciples. She just said two words, "Scram," and then kicked them out of the door.
On the contrary, Chu Chen's temperament was like a piece of unpolished gold jade. The process of refining it was also a process of continuous cutting and tempering.
Although this process was like enduring the pain of the body, there would be a day when, after being hammered thousands of times, he would blossom with unparalleled brilliance!
Elder Lingxin had always regarded the disciples who came to take on missions as passersby. However, she found that she could not help but look forward to this youth's future, whether it was as a spiritual pharmacist or on the path of cultivation.
On the other hand, the alchemy apprentice Chu Chen, who was doing high-intensity "physical labor," gradually discovered that the Ancient Alchemy Hall emitted a rich medicinal fragrance all year round. It was formed by the condensation of the essence of countless cauldrons of finished medicinal pills. It was extremely beneficial to the human body.
Chu Chen, who was working in this ancient hall, could still feel the faint medicinal effects in the air subtly changing his physical body and strengthening his blood, flesh, tendons, and bones even if he did not deliberately cultivate.
Although this process was slow, the advantage was that it was ongoing all the time.
Even his Spirit Qi, which had reached the ninth level of the Spirit Qi Realm, had imperceptibly become more condensed and dense under the influence of these medicinal effects. This Ancient Alchemy Hall was really a treasure trove!
It seemed that he had to find more opportunities to work here in the future. It should be especially effective in strengthening himself.
