I'm Not! (1)

"Forbidden Art..." Yang Guang nodded at Elder Yan. They separate and returned to their own place at the end of their journey back to the Mystic Tower.

"Ah! Wenyang!" the two of them met coincidently.

"Senior brother Yang," Xu Wenyang cupped his hands together and greeted Yang Guang.

"Wenyang, can you bring me two batches of ingredients this time? I need it as soon as possible." Yang Guang gave his disciple token to Xu Wenyang to collect his order.

"I understand. Junior brother will come back soon." Xu Wenyang took the token and hurried to collect Yang Guang's order. As for Yang Guang, he returned to his Pill-Refining Room and spent his idle time to study the book related to medicine.

His mind returned to when Yanluo Yun coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood after consuming the Triple Concoction Pill. Although he has gone through the same ordeal when trying the pill on himself, the situation on Yanluo Yun is slightly different.

No matter how Yanluo Yun is a lady.

To show outsiders the sight of her coughing out blood until her lips are smudged by the stale blood is not good at all. At the end of the day, no matter she minds about it or not, Yanluo Yun is still a lady.

"Hmm? The opinion discussed in this book is quite fascinating. By forcing a Cultivation Beast to consume the flower from old Blood Fruit Plant and force-feeding it with blood fruit, the medicinal herb within the body will mutate into Soul Grown Blood Flower."

"Mysterious Medicine below Jade Heaven," Yang Guang close the book and put it aside for later reading. And at the same time, a knock came from the door.

"Senior Brother, can Wenyang come in?" Xu Wenyang asked at the other side of the door.

"Come in." Yang Guang replied. But he as his attention is shifted to the door, the book he was reading a while ago vanished.

This time, the ingredients Xu Wenyang brought to him is enough to be refined into a hundred Triple Concoction Pills.

"If there's nothing else, Wenyang will excuse himself." Xu Wenyang bowed at Yang Guang after confirming that there is nothing else for him to do.

...

...

"Success!"

"Success!"

Yang Guang shut himself inside the room for about a week to study the Triple Concoction Pill. If it was not because Elder Xiao Yi is asking them to come to meet him, he might shut himself for two more days.

"Disciple Yang Guang greets elder." Yang Guang was the last to come inside the room.

"En. Since everyone is here, I'll get to the point." Elder Xiao Yi nods at Yang Guang and continues to speak.

"We're only one more week to the end of this month. Three months later, the annual Tianyu Province Junior's Conference will be happening. I want all of you to participate in this event and display your abilities to the seniors and elders of the three sects and Tianyu City Lord."

"Yu Wen, you're the eldest and most experienced of the four. Take care of everyone when you're there." Elder Xiao Yi explained the reason for calling them here. It was for the upcoming annual event that will be held on the second day of the new year.

All kinds of expertise can be discussed at the conference, as long people are studying and perfecting them. During this event, the elders and ministers will also attend as an invited guest to give pointers to the juniors.

But behind this facade, it's initial purpose is to evaluate and headhunt potential candidates to become an inner disciple of the sects or successor of some position within the ministry office.

"Tian Peng will represent commander Tian during the conference, so he might be running around two places. Tang Hulu will represent the Mystic Tower in the debate regarding Alchemy. Yu Wen, Martial Arts."

"As for Yang Guang, have fun at the conference. Do not be afraid of losing the debate or challenge. At the end of the day, the conference will bring you many benefits in both cultivation and profession." Elder Xiao Yi ordered the other to participate in certain subjects except him.

"Disciple understands," the four of them replied to Elder Xiao Yi's instructions. And after a short period of chit-chatting between the teacher and students, the others left Elder Xiao Yi's room one by one, until only Yang Guang is left.

"Is there anything you need to ask your teacher?" Elder Xiao Yi rests on the chair as he questioned Yang Guang.

"Guang-Er has recently been studying about Triple Concoction Pill. Can Guang-Er ask the teacher to take a look and give an opinion on improving the quality?" Yang Guang extends a small palm-size case with a set of three Triple Concoction Pills inside.

"It's a coincidence that your teacher has a portion of ingredients to refine a Triple Concoction Pill. How about you refine one on the spot while I inspect those in the box?" Elder Xiao Yi pointed at the table with a cauldron on top.

And before he awaits for Yang Guang's reply, the elder already turned around and paid his attention to the case with three pills.

"Guang-Er will go and refine another Triple Concoction Pill." Yang Guang cupped his hand and made his way to the cauldron.

"Jade Flame!" Yang Guang started the Pill-Refining process.

Each step he made is graceful. The herb made its way into the cauldron one after another until the pill has begun to form. Very soon, a freshly-made Triple Concoction Pill made its way to Elder Xiao Yi's table.

"En," the elder only made a sound as he looks at the pill.

"Do you know where is your problem lies?" the elder soon decided to give Yang Guang some tips to improvise his Triple Concoction Pill.

"Guang-Er doesn't know..." Yang Guang stares at the elder, looking restless.

Improvement is good, but your pill lack originality. It has long left the reason why Triple Concoction Pill is made for. Did you focus too much on making them instead of understanding and improving them?"

"Sometimes, anxiousness brings nothing. Instead of feeling restless for not improving, why not go to the person taking the pill and ask her the reason for the continuous injuries?"

"Perhaps, the Triple Concoction Pill is only something that made her keep risking herself instead of treating the problem from the root of the cause." Elder Xiao Yi smiled and explains.

Yang Guang looked at his teacher and smiled after he finally understands what Elder Xiao Yi is trying to tell him. But before he excused himself, the elder gives him a scroll before telling him to go.

"I'll read the scroll later. Let's go to find sister Yanluo Yun first!"
