Mastering the Dao of Alchemy!

Xiao Yan, having obtained the new technique, was eagerly anticipating news about the Heavenly Flame. If Xiao Chong went out without planning to bring him some intelligence, he would truly be in trouble.

While Xiao Chong was chatting with Xiao Yan, not far away, Elder Yao had finally found suitable medicinal herbs from the mountain full of herb fields and was ready to begin the pill concoction.

Seeing Xiao Yan's expectant look beside him, Elder Yao smiled and said, "Since I'm demonstrating for you, the pill I'm going to concoct is a seventh-grade Life Reversal Pill."

"Now, watch carefully!"

With that, the Medicine Elder took out his pill furnace, Black Demon.

Elder Yao sat cross-legged in mid-air, with bone-chilling cold accompanying the pale white flames.

The flickering flames looked like white skulls.

So this is the Bone Chilling Flame? It truly deserves to be called a Heavenly Flame.

Even with Xiao Chong's current Dou Zun level strength, he could feel the extraordinary coldness from these flames.

"The first step in pill concoction is to use your own flames to extract and refine the energy within the medicinal herbs."

"In this step, the quality of the flame is crucial. A slight mistake can cause the energy in the herbs to dissipate, turning them into ashes. A powerful Heavenly Flame can also speed up this process."

Elder Yao flicked his finger, sending the flame in his hand into the pill furnace, while also explaining the importance of pill concoction to Xiao Chong and Xiao Yan.

Subsequently, in the massive medicinal cauldron, hot energy began to continuously overflow, expand, and then contract and condense under the flames' nurturing.

Pill concoction was indeed a profound art.

During this process, Xiao Yan watched Elder Yao concoction intently, barely blinking, as if afraid of missing any important step.

It was clear that he was very interested in pill concoction.

However, Xiao Chong's expression was a bit strange.

Because of the heaven-defying comprehension ability in his mind, Xiao Chong began to calculate as he observed Elder Yao pill concoction.

After watching the Medicine Elder concoct pills for several hours, a series of messages finally popped up in Xiao Chong's mind.

[Your comprehension is heaven-defying. By observing the Medicine Elder concoct seventh-grade pills, you have comprehended the Dao of Alchemy.]

[From now on, you can achieve the path of martial arts through alchemy henceforth, the concoction of any pill will be as easy as turning your hand.]

[Your comprehension is heaven-defying. By observing the Medicine Elder's pill furnace 'Black Magic', you have comprehended the importance of pill furnaces in alchemy.]

[You have comprehended how to create a divine-level pill furnace Taishang Laojun's Eight Trigrams Furnace.]

Hearing these prompts in his mind, Xiao Chong was immediately delighted.

Indeed, one must watch a high-grade alchemist concoct pills to learn more! In one fell swoop, he had not only mastered the Dao of Alchemy, ensuring his pill concoction skills would soar from now on.

He could also personally forge Taishang Laojun's pill furnace, the Eight Trigrams Furnace!

Although the materials for crafting the Eight Trigrams Furnace were equally rare, Xiao Chong would naturally forge it given the opportunity.

Now that he had obtained the Dao of Alchemy, there was no need to stay here any longer.

The two of them had spent nearly ten hours in this medicinal field. If they didn't go out and show their faces soon, the Xiao family would probably be searching for them all over the mountains. As Xiao Chong appeared to be getting up to leave, Xiao Yan was suddenly stunned and asked:

"You're leaving? Don't you want to watch Elder Yao refine the pills?"

Yao Chen also seemed to be about to say something, but at this crucial moment in pill refining, he couldn't afford to be distracted.

"When it comes to pill refining, you're the most suitable person in the family, so I don't need to watch," Xiao Chong replied.

"I know that when a seventh-grade pill is successfully refined lightning will strike. However, in my medicinal field space lightning won't form unless you're refining ninth-grade pills."

"As for the herbs in the field, feel free to use them. For me, it only takes a few days at most to grow them back anyway."

After this reminder, Xiao Chong stood up and walked out of the medicinal field, leaving behind a sealed exit that allowed exit but not entry.

Refining a seventh-grade pill would take at least several dozen days, and for the typically lazy Xiao Chong, he couldn't wait that long.

With so much free time, he'd rather go to a brothel to listen to music and watch girls dancing.

Seeing Xiao Chong leave so casually, Yao Chen and Xiao Yan, still in the midst of pill refining, couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances.

"What a strange person," Yao Chen remarked.

Not daring to be too distracted, Yao Chen only glanced at the exit of the medicinal field before continuing with the pill refining.

As Xiao Yan watched Xiao Chong leave and then looked back at Yao Chen, he remembered the cultivation technique Xiao Chong had casually tossed to him earlier. A certain thought once again arose in his mind.

"Yao... no, Teacher, let me ask you a question. Do you think if I became your disciple, I'd have a chance to surpass him in the future?"

"Surpass him? It's a bit challenging, but not impossible!" Yao Chen responded without turning his head, while controlling the situation inside the pill furnace with his soul force.

"This young man's talent and strength are indeed unparalleled in the entire world, as far as I've seen. But to surpass him is not entirely out of the question."

"Your brother's innate talent is incredibly amazing, but his personality is carefree and relaxed, lacking the diligence and hard work typical of supreme geniuses."

"Even though this person's talent is truly astonishing, if you persist in your efforts, there might come a day when you surpass your brother."

Moreover, Yao Chen was confident. As the Medicinal Sage, he rarely doubted his own abilities.

Although Xiao Chong had already reached the level of a one-star Dou Zun, Yao Lao knew that for strong practitioners of Dou Qi, the higher the level, the more difficult it became to advance. It depended not only on talent but also on opportunity, one's own comprehension, as well as personal diligence and effort.

Xiao Chong's lack of interest in the art of pill refining meant he was missing an important opportunity, and his personality was certainly not that of a desperate fighter.

In Yao Lao's opinion, the path of cultivation itself involved constant hardship and death-defying opportunities between the sharp edge and life.

It was unfortunate that Elder Yao still greatly underestimated Xiao Chong's heaven-defying comprehension ability. He could never imagined that Xiao Chong had already created an entirely new alchemy technique after just a few hours of study.

This level of difference was like comparing a technical expert to an elder of the Jia lie family...
