Chapter 141: Double the Happiness, Begin Alchemy Ye Qiu slowly took out a ruler from his storage jade. The light of the supreme-grade treasure flickered, and Elder Xu’s eyes widened. He was only a third-grade Black Finger elder. However, his seniority was higher and he had some knowledge, so he had been teaching at the First Peak. However, his strength was obvious. A treasure of this level was extremely tempting to him. Ye Qiu coughed lightly. “Ahem ahem…” The ruler suddenly fell to the ground. Ye Qiu suddenly said in surprise, “Senior Brother, did you drop something?” Ye Qiu pretended to be surprised as he pointed at the ruler on the ground. Elder Xu immediately reacted.?Damn, this kid… Wasn’t this too kind to do such a thing…? Wasn’t this making things difficult for me? His eyes were like a thief as he looked around. After realizing that there was no one around, Elder Xu squeezed out a smile. “Hehe, that’s right, that’s right. I dropped it.” Elder Xu slowly picked up the ruler and looked at Little Linglong, who was curiously looking into the school. “Hmm… Junior Brother, I thought about it carefully just now. Although this child is a little mischievous, she’s not hopeless. How about this? For the sake of Junior Brother, I’ll teach her again. However, whether she can master it will depend on her talent…” Elder Xu looked like he was in a difficult position. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎 Seeing this, Ye Qiu smiled and didn’t say anything. He silently took out another precious medicine from the jade pendant. Elder Xu’s old face trembled as he revealed an infatuated gaze. Holy shit… “Junior Brother, don’t worry. I will definitely teach her well. I promise to teach her well. Even if she doesn’t cultivate in the future and enters the mortal world, she will still be able to obtain a good reputation.” Elder Xu promised without any intention of making things difficult for him. Seeing this, Ye Qiu smiled in satisfaction. Indeed… no matter what world it was, the unchanging rules were the same. There was nothing in this world that could not be done with gifts. If there was, it was because you did not give enough. These few treasures were considered junk to Ye Qiu, but to Elder Xu, they were real treasures. Ye Qiu was also delighted when he agreed. He repeated his old trick and accidentally threw the precious medicine on the ground. He said, “Ah, Senior Brother, why were you so careless and dropped something again?” Elder Xu laughed. “Junior Brother, you must be joking. I’m old and always forget things.” Elder Xu was extremely excited as he quickly picked up the precious medicine on the ground. He didn’t expect Ye Qiu to be so generous. Compared to him, the other peak masters seemed stingy. Especially Yang Wudi from the Sword Evaluation Peak. It had to be Violet Cloud Peak. They were rich and imposing. He got a supreme-grade treasure and precious herb. How could he accept these treasures if he didn’t agree to this? “Junior Brother, don’t worry. I’ll definitely teach this child well. Don’t worry and go back.” Elder Xu promised again. Ye Qiu smiled in satisfaction. Then, he turned around and instructed Little Linglong, “Linglong, you must listen to your teacher properly this time, understand? Don’t cause trouble anymore. Study hard. When you return, I will teach you powerful secret techniques, understand?” Little Linglong grinned and pretended to be obedient and sensible. “Yes, yes, I understand. I will definitely study hard.” “Sir, let’s go in quickly.” As she spoke, she obediently walked over and held Elder Xu’s clothes, urging him to hurry in. Elder Xu was shocked to see her so obedient. Did this girl change her personality? Why is she so enthusiastic about studying this time? “Hmm, not bad. You’re promising. This way, I can rest assured.” After carefully observing for a while and not finding anything unusual, Elder Xu smiled in relief. As long as Little Linglong didn’t cause trouble, he would be at ease. Elder Xu greeted Ye Qiu and brought Little Linglong to the school. Little Linglong even turned around and waved goodbye to Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu felt gratified. The child was finally sensible. It was not easy. After settling the matters here, Ye Qiu observed outside the window for a while. He wanted to confirm if Little Linglong had caused any trouble before deciding to return to Violet Cloud Peak. After observing for a while, he confirmed that she did not cause trouble. Ye Qiu suddenly thought of something and said, “System…” [Ding… You gave your disciple a Heaven-grade secret technique: Instant Kill, triggering a critical hit return.] [Ding! You have given Elder Xu a supreme-grade treasure, triggering a critical hit return.] [Ding, you have given Elder Xu a supreme-grade precious medicine, triggering a critical hit return.] [Activate?] “Damn, double the happiness?” Ye Qiu was instantly amused by these three critical hits. Elder Xu accepted his gift. He thought that he had profited. How could he know that Ye Qiu was actually the one who earned it? He could still earn it back after spending money to get things done. In his words, you might have made a small profit, but I’ll never lose out. “Activate it.” [Congratulations, you have triggered a five-thousand-fold return and obtained a divine skill: Killing A Person From Ten Thousand Miles Away.] [Congratulations, you have triggered a thousand-fold critical strike and obtained a supreme-grade spirit weapon, the Crimson Flame Ruler.] [Congratulations, you have triggered a hundredfold critical strike and obtained a mid-grade spirit medicine, Heavenly Plum.] “Damn, three times the happiness!” Ye Qiu was shocked by these three consecutive critical hits. What surprised him the most was that divine technique. Killing A Person From Ten Thousand Miles Away? Damn, this name sounded awesome. Although the name was given casually, it was very appropriate. After carefully comprehending it, Ye Qiu was shocked. This divine technique could actually kill an enemy thousands of miles away with a single strike? This was a perfect act of posturing.?Hmm… posture? Why did I think of this? Am I a pretentious king? Actually, that wasn’t necessarily the case. Ye Qiu carefully studied it. This set of divine skills didn’t completely exist to show off. This was a killing move that could cross time and space. It was somewhat similar to the third sword technique of the Cursive Sword Art. However, it was different from that strike. That strike was… the sword of a cheat code that could be exchanged for a life. But this strike was used against an opponent with an especially powerful time domain whereby it could ignore the other party’s domain. The effect was very obvious. Ye Qiu could clearly feel that with this sword, if he had the chance in the future, it would be much more comfortable to face such an opponent. “Hmm, overall, not bad…” Ye Qiu smiled in relief. This critical hit really gave him a huge surprise. It had to be said that the treasure left behind by his master was really good. It was too fragrant. Haha… A Heaven-grade exchanging for a divine technique. Apart from the first one, Ye Qiu didn’t fancy the other two. [Successfully obtained a divine skill. Killing A Person From Ten Thousand Miles Away. Do you want to start learning it?] The system notification sounded again. Ye Qiu smiled faintly and said, “Yes…” In an instant, a red light fused into his mind, and red scriptures appeared. Ye Qiu glanced down. Two Great Dao Flowers bloomed, and his comprehension was fully activated. In an instant, he had already comprehended one or ten to twenty percent. His attainments in the Sword Dao had already reached the peak, and cultivating sword techniques had become simpler. On this side, Ye Qiu was still laughing foolishly. Suddenly, an old man walked past him and looked at him blankly. “Junior Brother, what are you doing here?” Meng Tianzheng asked in a daze.?Has he gone crazy? He came to my peak to laugh foolishly? Ye Qiu came back to his senses and realized that it was Meng Tianzheng. The corner of his mouth twitched. He had been too excited just now. “Ahem, it’s nothing. I’m just bringing my disciple to school to study. I’ll be back in a while.” “What!” Meng Tianzheng was shocked when he heard that the little guy was here to study again. He hurriedly took a look inside and frowned. He thought seriously for a while. Then, he waved his hand and called out the elders and children of the First Peak, preparing to avoid the limelight. They could study at any time, but they couldn’t study it with that little fellow. They would be easily beaten up. “Senior Brother, what are you doing?” Ye Qiu’s face darkened.?Is my precious disciple that scary? Meng Tianzheng chuckled and said, “Junior Brother, I suddenly remembered that my peak is holding a lecture today. I’ll take these children away first.” With that, Meng Tianzheng left with the children. As for whether that lecture really existed, he would have to ask him. He turned around and looked at Little Linglong, who was sitting obediently on a small chair and listening attentively. Ye Qiu rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “Yes, it should be settled this time.” With that, he turned around and left the main peak, returning to Violet Cloud Peak. Violet Cloud Peak. On the training ground, Lin Qingzhu and Zhao Wan’er waited silently. Ye Qiu’s figure slowly appeared in the training field. “Master, how is it? Has the matter regarding Little Junior Sister’s studies settled?” Lin Qingzhu asked nervously. Ye Qiu smiled and said, “It’s just a small matter. It’s just one or two treasures. What’s so difficult about it?” The two of them immediately sweated. That seemed to be the case. With Ye Qiu’s personality, anything that could be resolved with money was not a problem. “Alright, you don’t have to worry about Linglong. Qingzhu, go and pick her up after school.” Lin Qingzhu nodded and prayed silently in her heart that Little Linglong would not cause trouble again. It wasn’t easy for her to return to the school this time. If she caused trouble again and beat up the elders and children of the other mountains, Elder Xu probably wouldn’t be the one to call the shots next time. “Okay!” “Today, I will start teaching you alchemy. Since you’ve just started learning alchemy, I’ll teach you how to refine it first. It’s our Violet Cloud Peak’s unique recovery pill, the Great Recovery Pill…” As he spoke, Ye Qiu took out the Qiankun Cauldron. He took out a few herbs from the storage jade and distributed them to the two of them. They each took out a cauldron that Ye Qiu had given them in Guangling City. Although the grade was not high, it was enough to refine pills. As he spoke, Ye Qiu compiled the refinement method of the Great Recovery Pill into a book and handed it to them. Then, he said, “Alchemy is different from ordinary cultivation. It tests patience, meticulousness, control of the fire, and the use of techniques. You must pay full attention. Otherwise, the pills refined will either fail or be defective.” The two of them had solemn expressions and nodded seriously. “I understand.” Lin Qingzhu was not very interested in alchemy. Perhaps it was because she cultivated the ice attribute, so she did not like fire and was not familiar with it. Therefore, she could only rely on her own strength to forcefully push the medicinal herbs in the pill furnace to stimulate their medicinal properties and gradually let them take shape. This required a large amount of spiritual energy to support. Otherwise, it would be difficult to refine a Great Recovery Pill. Unlike Zhao Wan’er, who was born with an abnormal fire and had cultivated the Red Lotus Karmic Flame. She was extremely familiar with fire. Therefore, to her, this alchemy technique was more suitable for her. Not only could she refine powerful medicinal pills, but she could also increase her control over the Red Lotus Karmic Flame while cultivating alchemy. It could be said that this was a cultivation plan tailored for her. After a simple study, Zhao Wan’er was the first to start refining. She carefully selected several herbs and placed them into the pill furnace. She slowly pushed out her palms. In an instant, a wave of Red Lotus Karmic Flame surrounded the pill furnace. The scorching heat constantly roasted the pill furnace, causing it to continuously be stimulated and gradually turn into liquid. Ye Qiu stood at the side and observed. He extended his divine sense and carefully observed the changes in the medicinal herbs in the pill furnace. He instructed, “Don’t be distracted. Focus and condense the pill.” After Zhao Wan’er heard this, her eyes became especially focused. She continuously operated the cauldron and spun it in the air. Her control over the Red Lotus Karmic Flame was extremely skilled as she constantly roasted the herbs inside. After it completely liquefied, she instantly exerted strength. The power of a level of Infinite Distance was released, slowly condensing the herbs and gradually let it take shape. This process took nearly two hours. The cauldron suddenly opened and a few pills flew out. Ye Qiu took them and looked. “Hmm… It’s a little lacking in quality, but it’s already not bad to have such progress on your first refinement.” It had to be said that Zhao Wan’er was more like a natural alchemist. Her talent was truly astonishing. The success rate of successfully condensing a pill on the first try was as high as 80%. Although the quality was a little inferior, as she became more and more proficient in her technique, she would definitely be able to refine even better pills in the future. On the other hand, it was a little difficult for Lin Qingzhu. This was her first time refining a pill, and she had already failed before she could liquefy it. She was a little depressed, but she quickly thought it through and said, “Master, it seems like I’m not suitable for alchemy. I still want to continue studying my sword technique.” Although she was a little disappointed, she was a sword cultivator to begin with, so there was nothing to be disappointed about. Everyone had their own specialties. She was good at swordsmanship, Zhao Wan’er was good at alchemy, and Little Linglong was good at… Yes, she was good at fighting, performing, and torturing people. Ye Qiu didn’t force her to refine pills. He only comforted her and said, “Okay, go! Your focus should be on the study of swordsmanship.” “I am confident that you can inherit my swordsmanship abilities and become a fully deserving sword immortal in the future.” Lin Qingzhu was delighted when she heard this. Nothing made her happier than getting Ye Qiu’s recognition. As Ye Qiu’s head disciple, she naturally had to inherit her strongest attribute. And what was Ye Qiu’s famous technique? It was the Sword Dao. Therefore, she also wanted to become a Sword Dao expert like Ye Qiu and inherit her master’s inheritance. “Yes, yes. Master, I will definitely not disgrace you and become a well-deserved swordmaster…” Lin Qingzhu immediately became full of confidence. She held the Violet Cloud Sword in her hand and felt extremely honored. “Alright, I’ll wait for this day. Go…” Ye Qiu cheered her on. Lin Qingzhu was very touched. No matter what, her master had never abandoned her. He had always believed in her and thought that she could do it. How could she disappoint her master? With Ye Qiu’s encouragement, Lin Qingzhu left the training ground alone and came to the back mountain, preparing to cultivate her Asura Slash. She would strive to completely master the Asura Slash in this month and learn it to perfection. On the other hand, after Zhao Wan’er absorbed the experience from the first time, she immediately began the second refinement. Ye Qiu watched from the side. [Ding! You have imparted the alchemy technique of the Great Recovery Pill to your disciple, triggering a Critical Hit Return.] [You gave your disciple a number of herbs and triggered a critical hit.] [Activate?] “It’s here…” The corners of Ye Qiu’s mouth curled up slightly, finally revealing a smile.?Let’s see what I would get. “Activate.” [Ding… congratulations, you have triggered a 2,000 times critical strike and obtained the refinement method of the Connate Great Recovery Pill.] [Do you want to start learning?] “Connate Great Recovery Pill?” Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment. Then, he checked what was so exquisite about the so-called Connate Great Recovery Pill. After understanding it, Ye Qiu was shocked. “F*ck, a pill for recovering spiritual energy?” Although this Connate Great Recovery Pill had yet to reach the immortal grade where it had the powerful resurrection effect, he could instantly recover to his peak state. In battle, if he consumed too much spiritual energy, he only needed a Connate Great Recovery Pill to instantly recover his health and spiritual energy. It could be said to be a necessary divine artifact for committing murder and arson. “Hehe, sure, sure, this will do…” After seeing it clearly, Ye Qiu was delighted. There was finally something useful. [Ding… congratulations, you have triggered a thousand-fold critical strike. You have obtained a supreme-grade spirit medicine, several Connate spirit medicines, one stalk…] As the system notification sounded again, Ye Qiu was overjoyed. He checked the items again. He was shocked. “The refinement materials for the Connate Great Recovery Pill?” Ye Qiu was stunned. Was it that humane? However, on second thought, it made sense. That Great Recovery Pill was the same kind of pill as the Connate Great Recovery Pill. The materials were almost the same, but the grades were different. The Great Recovery Pill was a spirit pill, while the Connate Great Recovery Pill was a connate spirit pill. With the word connate, the meaning was different. It could be said that it had increased by a large level, and its effect had increased countless times. “Master…” On the other side, Ye Qiu was still studying how to refine the Connate Great Recovery Pill when Zhao Wan’er suddenly ran over excitedly. She held a few Great Recovery Pills in her hand and said happily, “I think I refined it…” Ye Qiu was shocked. He quickly took the pill from her hand and checked it. “Hiss… F*ck… Is it that terrifying?” Ye Qiu looked at his second disciple in surprise. He didn’t expect her talent in alchemy to be so astonishing. In just half a day, she had already grasped the refinement method of the Great Recovery Pill and successfully refined a superior-grade spirit pill.
