Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 34 Alchemy
That day, Yun Yi first practiced the "Sword Sharpening Sutra" and used his own body and soul to sharpen the square and round sword dozens of times, and then went to Yunxia Peak to learn alchemy. For the time being, he was reluctant to use the precious herbs given to him by Zhi Laoer, and only used ordinary herbs to practice.

Qi Ling'er called herself the senior sister and kept giving Yun Yi some pointers. Some of her words had some effect, but most of them were nonsense.

Yun Yi was not angry. Instead, he felt that having a girl chattering beside him made the boring life of alchemy seem less boring.

Qi Ling'er said, "By the way, Junior Brother Yun, you still don't know which influential figures our Fuyao Sect has, right?"

Yun Yi had certainly heard of this, but in order not to spoil his cheap senior sister's interest, he shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"The most famous among them is the divine scholar Meng Fan, who reached the Return to Void Realm at the age of thirty. It is said that he is the next Grand Elder designated by the Library. Furthermore, Senior Brother Meng is also very handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. I wonder how many women in our Fuyao Sect have secretly fallen in love with him."

Yun Yi nodded perfunctorily and gently fanned the flames in the alchemy furnace, adding in his heart: It's a pity that the genius had a crush on Song Xinci and eventually died at the hands of his own wife's sword. I wonder if he will repeat the same mistake this time.

Qi Ling'er continued, "I can tell you're not interested in Senior Brother Meng, but it doesn't matter. We have another senior sister in our sect, Su Qing. She and Senior Brother Meng are both outstanding disciples of this generation."

"Oh, that sounds amazing."

"Of course she is amazing. Moreover, Senior Sister Su is the most outstanding disciple of Dan Pavilion in the past hundred years. Maybe you will run into her again in Yunxia Peak in the future."

Su Qing, in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, although her cultivation level wasn't as high as Meng Fan's, she possessed unique insights into the Dao of Alchemy and could often refine top-grade elixirs with remarkable efficacy. Therefore, to some extent, she was even more popular than Meng Fan.

Moreover, Su Qing was beautiful and kind-hearted, often helping the sect's disciples to heal their illnesses and injuries, secretly capturing the hearts of countless male disciples. However, she never cared about these things, and was only focused on the path of alchemy.

If Yun Yi remembered correctly, Su Qing soon advanced to the Return to Void Realm and became the backbone of the Fuyao Sect. On the other hand, the naturally high-profile Meng Fan died at the hands of Song Xinci's sword, his path to immortality cut short.

Thinking about it this way, Su Qing is someone worth making friends with. Maybe I can ask her to help me refine pills, saving me the trouble of learning alchemy from scratch.

Yun Yi was distracted for a moment and didn't notice that Qi Ling'er's face suddenly changed, and her little mouth, which had been talking non-stop, seemed to be suddenly sealed and stopped making any sound.

Then a gentle voice sounded beside my ear: "Junior Brother, the fire in the alchemy furnace is too strong. I'm afraid it will explode."

Yun Yi suddenly came back to his senses and quickly put down the palm-leaf fan in his hand. He found that the alchemy furnace had begun to emit black smoke.

"One ounce of ice crystal powder and half a spoonful of condensed spirit dew. You can try this method."

"it is good."

Yun Yi did as he was told and found that the temperature of the stove gradually dropped, and the smoky smell began to turn into a medicinal aroma.

After doing all this, he finally had time to look at the woman who helped. She was wearing ordinary disciple clothes, a dirty apron, and her hair was wrapped in a headscarf. At first glance, she looked a bit like a cook.

It's just that this cook is too pretty. Her figure is as slender as a plump fruit, and when she smiles, she has two shallow dimples on her face, which makes people like her.

And the fragrance on her body is particularly special, a bit clear, a bit sweet, and a bit bitter.

Ignoring Qi Ling'er's winks, Yun Yi took the initiative to salute and said, "I guess this is Senior Sister Su Qingsu?"

Su Qing smiled and nodded: "Junior brother looks a little strange."

"My name is Yun Yi, and I have just become a disciple of Elder Qingwei."

"So this is Uncle Qingwei's new disciple... Hey, Uncle Qingwei has been very lucky with disciples lately, he actually accepted two new disciples in a row."

Qi Ling'er's eyes lit up: "What, Master is accepting another disciple?"

Su Qing was obviously quite familiar with Qi Ling'er. He smiled and rubbed the top of the girl's head, "You'll know when you go back and take a look."

"Hate it, Senior Sister, please stop messing up my hair!"

"Ling'er is so cute." Su Qing smiled as she left. Yun Yi watched her retreating figure, thinking that he must find a way to make friends with her. If she could help him refine the herbs given by Zhi Lao Er into a magical elixir, he would be able to quickly replenish his spiritual energy and advance to the Divine Transformation Realm.

Qi Ling'er teased, "Just now you were pretending not to care, but now your eyes are almost fixed on Senior Sister Su."

Yun Yi smiled and was too lazy to explain.

Although Su Qing is extremely beautiful and has a unique temperament, Yun Yi has been tempered by the hardships of his previous life and is basically immune to beauty. Even Zhuque's charm can hardly shake his mind.

There is no way. No matter how beautiful a fairy is, she will be eclipsed by Song Xinci.

After all, Yun Yi has lived two lives and is no longer a passionate young man who falls in love with every woman he meets. Now, improving his cultivation is the top priority for him.

The grand plan of Futian Pavilion to overthrow the world of cultivation has already begun. I must at least return to the Void Realm to be able to protect myself. Otherwise, once I am involved in a dispute, I will inevitably end up dead.

Qi Ling'er said again: "Don't look, don't look, let's go back to Youxi Peak first. I'm very curious about the new disciple."

Yun Yi soothed him, "Don't panic, wait until I finish refining this furnace of pills."

As he was speaking, a stream of spiritual energy suddenly gushed out of the alchemy furnace. Seeing this, Yun Yi immediately opened the lid and saw that all the medicinal materials inside had melted and condensed into a small black pill.

He took it out with his fingers, looked at it carefully, smelled it, and then handed it to Qi Ling'er beside him.

"Not bad, not bad. A mid-grade Qi-replenishing pill. You've achieved this just after learning alchemy. You're truly talented." She said pretentiously, acting like an elder of the Alchemy Pavilion.

Yun Yi complimented him, "I have to thank Senior Sister Ling'er for her assistance. Without your words and jokes, I definitely wouldn't have succeeded. Of course, the credit goes to Senior Sister Su Qing. Her fever-reducing recipe is really good."

Qi Ling'er was very proud and urged Yun Yi to take the pill quickly, so that they could return to Youxi Peak.

Yun Yi double-checked that the Qi-boosting pill was non-toxic before taking it. As soon as the pill entered his throat, it transformed into boiling spiritual energy, flowing through his meridians and into every part of his body. It was truly soothing.

Unfortunately, the medicinal effect is average and far inferior to the monkey wine collected by the monkey boss.

"Okay, okay, let's go." Seeing Yun Yi finish taking the pill, Qi Ling'er immediately pulled him out of Yunxia Peak.

Yun Yi had no choice but to follow. His junior sister had just that kind of temper, and he had no way of refusing.

But after the two of them walked away, they never expected that Su Qing was watching them in the dark.

There was a small pocket sewn into her apron, and inside it was a strange little snake with horns on its head and a red body.

"Chi Lian baby, you said that person has the fragrance of many exotic flowers and plants?"

The little snake nodded and looked at Yun Yi's gradually receding back with reluctance in his eyes.

“It’s really strange. I see that Junior Brother Yun is only in the early stage of Qi Refining Realm and doesn’t have any precious medicinal herbs on him… But since you can smell it, there is only one possibility.

"Junior Brother Yun has the Sumeru Ring in his hand, and he has stored those rare flowers and plants in the ring.

"What? You said there's also a dragon fruit in it, which is very useful for your cultivation?"

Su Qing was somewhat surprised, thinking that Junior Brother Yun was also a fascinating person with many secrets. Since he had the herbs Chi Lian desperately needed for her cultivation, she would have to find a way to exchange them for the Dragon Fruit.

She thought about it and felt that since she and Yun Yi were both disciples of the Fuyao Sect, it would be better to wait until the next time they met and talk it out.
