Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect

The next day, early morning.

Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo came to the wooden house of Xiancaotang again and greeted Zhang Yunxue.

The three of them sat in a row, and Xia Xiaomo asked curiously, "Elder Zhang, why haven't I seen you practice sword?"

When killing Dang Kang in Baizhu County, Chiba Prefecture, Zhang Yunxue used the Qingfeng Sword. It was obvious that this elder should be a sword practitioner.

An elder sword cultivator often reads books in Xiancao Hall. How come he looks so much like Xu Yeyu?

Are they all sword practitioners who don’t need to practice sword skills?

Sword cultivators are the most diligent cultivators in all schools. Some disciples who practice diligently swing their swords thousands of times every day.

Zhang Yunxue smiled slightly when she heard this and said, "I usually practice swordplay at night. If I'm not busy with sect affairs during the day, I read in the Immortal Grass Hall."

She paused, thinking of the other outer sect elders of Sunset Sect.

Zhang Yunxue is the most leisurely of the Sunset Sect's outer sect elders. She has not yet accepted any disciples, nor does she have any disciples she likes.

Each outer sect elder can accept two personal disciples, who also enjoy the privileges and training resources of inner sect disciples.

Zhang Yunxue looked at the two and asked, "The sect competition will start in less than half a month. Have you two been training well?"

Now most of the disciples are asking their senior brothers and sisters and elders for advice, hoping to improve themselves before the sect competition.

It’s fine that she, as an elder, is idle, but why do these two people in front of her seem to be even more idle?

Xu Yeyu didn't know how to answer this question, so he chose to remain silent, opened the herbal book, and immersed himself in studying.

Xia Xiaomo hurriedly said: "Some elders, in places you can't see, we have been practicing hard!"

She stopped talking and opened the book in her hand.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunxue smiled and shook her head. She just asked casually, why didn't anyone answer and why was he so flustered.

There were also some disciples who relaxed their minds before the sect competition. She was also a disciple, so she naturally understood.

......

......

The sun was high in the sky, and the sunlight was shining on the wooden house.

Zhang Yunxue made a pot of fragrant tea and returned to the door of the wooden house.

She saw that Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo had closed the book and placed it on the wooden board beside them.

Did they finish memorizing it so quickly? Or did they plan to relax?

"Let's take a rest first."

Zhang Yunxue poured a cup of fragrant tea for each of them and placed it next to them.

"Thank you."

"Thank you, elder."

Zhang Yunxue poured herself a cup of tea, and the aroma of tea filled the air.

She picked up her teacup, tasted the fragrant tea, and then turned her gaze to the two disciples.

"Have you finished watching it?" Zhang Yunxue asked.

Xia Xiaomo took a sip of tea and said, "Elder, I've finished reading it."

Xu Yeyu put down the teacup and said, "I've finished reading it too."

Zhang Yunxue was a little surprised. Since she joined Sunset Sect, she had never seen a disciple memorize the contents of the herbal book so quickly.

She thought she had a good memory, but when she first started reading the book, it still took her several days to digest and absorb its contents.

Zhang Yunxue took out some herbs from the storage ring and placed them on the wooden board.

"Each of you identify a medicinal herb, starting with Xu Yeyu." She pointed at a herb, "What is this herb called?"

"honeysuckle."

Honeysuckle has heart-shaped leaves and its flowers are golden in color with a light fragrance.

She nodded, then set her eyes on another herb, looked at Xia Xiaomo and asked, "What about this one?"

"Elder, this is Danqi grass."

Danqi grass has slender leaves that are dark green in color, while its flowers are bright red.

"Correct." Zhang Yunxue smiled and continued to ask one by one, "What about this?"

"Bai Yulu."

The leaves of the white jade plant are dark green with a relatively thick texture, while its flowers are as white as jade, fresh and pure.

"What about the last two?"

"Elder, one is sour jujube kernel, and the other is ginkgo leaf."

The seeds of the sour jujube are oval in shape, with a brown hard shell on the surface and obvious patterns on the shell.

Ginkgo leaves are deeply palm-shaped, with serrated edges and clearly visible veins. The surface of the leaves is bright green and turns golden yellow in autumn.

Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo took turns to identify it, and Zhang Yunxue finally believed that these two disciples had really good memories.

The herbs recorded in the herbal book were complex and some were easy to confuse, but they were able to identify each one accurately.

"Today I will teach you two how to make pills. Let's start with the Qi-boosting pill, one of the five most basic kinds of pills." Zhang Yunxue walked into the wooden house, "Come with me."

Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo followed Elder Zhang to a wooden table.

Zhang Yunxue took out the alchemy furnace from the storage ring, gently placed it on the table, and prepared to demonstrate the process of refining Qi-replenishing pills to the two disciples.

This alchemy furnace is not very big. It is made of pink jade, emitting a faint light, and the furnace body is decorated with delicate patterns.

Strings of crystal pendants hung above the alchemy furnace, gleaming with soft light.

This is the 57th ranked alchemy furnace in the Northern Continent.

Ordinary alchemists would use fire spirit coal, which was an economical and affordable material that could support the burning of various spiritual fires and was the most commonly used fuel by alchemists.

But this is not the fuel Zhang Yunxue uses.

The fuel under the alchemy furnace exudes a refreshing fragrance. It is a special fuel made from a mixture of Tianshan ice lotus and volcanic magma, and its shape is like crystal clear ice.

This special fuel not only provides sufficient heat, but also ensures the purity and balance of the alchemy process. It is the best choice for those pursuing perfect alchemy.

Because this kind of fuel is not affordable by ordinary alchemists, it is usually only used by fourth-grade alchemists to make pills.

Each piece of Ice Lotus Magma Fuel is priceless. Although it can be recycled, it is still prohibitive.

Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo saw an alchemist making elixirs for the first time.

Zhang Yunxue placed some herbs aside. She formed a seal with one hand, and a blue spiritual fire ignited under the alchemy furnace.

This is a special spiritual fire that she possesses, a rare spiritual fire obtained in a secret realm.

The blue spiritual fire burned, emitting a faint blue light. Unlike the heat of ordinary flames, it gave people a cold feeling.

As the blue spiritual fire ignited, the faint flames reflected in the furnace, emitting a subtle glow, and the patterns on the furnace glowed with golden light.

"Three roots of Danqi grass, one honeysuckle flower, and one white jade dew. These are the three main ingredients."

Zhang Yunxue began to introduce in detail the herbs needed for alchemy.

"One jujube seed and one ginkgo leaf. This is the secondary medicine."

She first let the flame heat up for a while. This step is called warming the furnace, an important step before refining the elixir to ensure that the furnace is heated evenly.

Then he put the two white jade dews into the alchemy furnace and started the process of refining the Qi-replenishing pill.
