Learning Alchemy

After hearing the system's sign-in mission, Xiao Yu was momentarily stunned. The Mitel Auction House made him feel a bit disoriented. Ya Fei was a significant character in "Battle Through the Heavens," especially in the early stages. The reason for this is that Ya Fei, due to her lack of talent, ultimately remained in the Jia Ma Empire as the head of the Mitel family, her strength only reaching the Dou Emperor level.

In his previous life, Xiao Yu found it quite distressing that Ya Fei, due to her age and strength, felt unworthy of Xiao Yan and chose to bury her feelings, remaining single until old age. In this life, Xiao Yu could only accept fate.

However, Xiao Yu wasn't planning to visit the Mitel Auction House right now. Mainly because he had no money and no elixirs. To visit the Mitel Auction House, one would need items to auction or money to bid on items; otherwise, there was no point in going.

After purchasing all the necessary materials, Xiao Yu informed Xun Er that he would be in seclusion for a period of time and then headed to the back mountain. He found a secluded cave in the back mountain and began a three-month period of alchemy training.

In the hidden cave in the back mountain of the Xiao family.

Boom!

Xiao Yu sat cross-legged, waving his hand to summon the Bone Spirit Cold Fire to form a cauldron in front of him. He had mastered this technique to perfection, instantly summoning a flame cauldron. He then threw a Snow Jade Orchid into the cauldron, and the moment it entered, the异火 wrapped around it, instantly turning it into ashes.

"Is the fire too intense?" Xiao Yu thought to himself, then steadily adjusted the flame to gradually lower its intensity.

Although the Pill sutra included illustrations of alchemy processes, it still couldn't provide hands-on experience. So Xiao Yu had to experiment and try on his own, tossing one Snow Jade Orchid after another into the cauldron.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Each Snow Jade Orchid rapidly withered and turned into white powder in the Bone Spirit Cold Fire's incineration.

Alchemy is a slow process, and Xiao Yu remained patient, carefully burning the materials. Although he was initially a bit clumsy, he became more adept after several failures.

Xiao Yu took another Snow Jade Orchid and threw it into the cauldron, turning it into a small amount of white powder. The impurities had long been burned away. He then added an Ice Jade Fruit, which was instantly engulfed by the white flame, emitting a sizzling sound. A white mist rolled up and quickly vanished, leaving behind a white jade-like liquid. After removing the impurities, Xiao Yu accelerated the process, adding various herbs to the cauldron.

Time flew by. After three months of continuous alchemy, Xiao Yu, now looking haggard with a beard, appeared much older, but his eyes were still vibrant and full of energy. He focused intently on the cauldron, where a perfectly rounded blue pill was being heated by the Bone Spirit Cold Fire. A unique fragrance filled the cave!

The completed spirit pill continued to spin in the cauldron, the white Bone Spirit Cold Fire still roasting it. Xiao Yu's eyes were filled with joy as he saw a mystical pattern appear on the pill.

"Success!" Xiao Yu whispered, slapping the cauldron. The blue pill shot out, and Xiao Yu quickly caught it. He saw a faint pattern on the pill, indicating it was a one-pattern spirit pill, a sign of peak quality as recorded in the Pill sutra.

"Finally, I've made this one-tier elixir, the Xuan Ling Pill!" Xiao Yu said with a tired smile.

Over the past three months, he had learned the Pill sutra, starting with the lowest tier elixirs and, thanks to his powerful soul force, was now able to refine two-tier pills and perfect any one-tier elixirs.

The Xuan Ling Pill could rapidly restore a fighter's energy to peak condition, regardless of level, as long as they hadn't reached Dou Master. It had no side effects, making it extremely powerful. Just imagine, after a fierce battle, taking this pill could instantly restore your strength while leaving your opponent severely weakened.

Xiao Yu's greatest achievement during this period was advancing his alchemy skills to the two-tier level. Despite the Pill sutra's assistance, his own determination and powerful soul force were crucial.

Moreover, Xiao Yu was pleasantly surprised to find that his strength had also increased from a one-star Dou Practitioner to a two-star Dou Practitioner!

After coming to his senses, Xiao Yu stored the Xuan Ling Pill and the hundred bottles of Snow Jade Spirit Liquid he had made. This Snow Jade Spirit Liquid was as effective as the Foundation Building Liquid made by Yao Lao and was undiluted. If diluted, it could yield an additional 200 bottles!

With everything packed, Xiao Yu quickly returned to his room under the moonlight. Exhausted from the alchemy process, he needed a good wash before collapsing onto his bed for some much-needed rest. Although a fighter could forgo sleep, Xiao Yu still enjoyed the feeling of a good night's sleep!

The next morning.

After washing up, Xiao Yu packed a bottle of Snow Jade Spirit Liquid and the Xuan Ling Pill, then left the family to head to the largest auction house in Wu Tan City, the Mitel Auction House.

Seeing the enormous Mitel Auction House, resembling a palace, Xiao Yu couldn't help but marvel at the opulence. As one of the wealthiest families in the Jia Ma Empire, with a history spanning hundreds of years, even this branch in WuTan City had constructed such a grand building.

Observing the heavily armored, stern-faced guards at the entrance, Xiao Yu put on a white half-face mask and walked straight into the auction house.

Upon entering, Xiao Yu heard the system notification: "Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully. Rewards will be issued shortly. Please check your rewards!"

Xiao Yu didn't immediately check the rewards. Instead, he felt the stark contrast between the auction house's icy and fiery atmosphere. He surveyed the spacious hall and noticed a room labeled "Appraisal Room" on the left. As he prepared to head there, footsteps were heard coming from the second floor.

Looking up, Xiao Yu saw the head of the Galle family, Galle Bi, bowing respectfully and speaking to someone. His gaze narrowed when he noticed the stunningly beautiful woman in a red cheongsam standing beside Galle Bi. Her alluring, mature charm made everyone take notice!
