I can gather experience beads

Cao Rui's figure flashed and he appeared on the platform.

He took out a cushion from his storage bag, and then sat cross-legged on it like the other disciples of the Alchemy Academy below the stage, his movements as natural and smooth as flowing clouds and water.

Then, Cao Rui got straight to the point and said, "I have already explained the refining process of Qingshuang Dan to you in detail twice before."

Cao Rui paused for a moment and continued, "I guess in the past few months, you should have tried to refine the Qingshuang Pill by yourselves and accumulated some refining experience."

"So, I will not speak this time. You can ask questions instead. If you have any questions or problems during the refining process, you can always ask me."

This unique way of preaching was refreshing, and the Alchemy Academy disciples in the audience nodded one after another.

At this time, Bai Mengli was the first to raise her hand, indicating that she had questions to ask.

Ever since Cao Rui joined the Alchemy Academy, Bai Mengli has become Cao Rui's number one die-hard fan, and an even die-hard fan even more than Zhang Chenyi.

Every time the sect collected spiritual herbs, Bai Mengli would rush to give them to Cao Rui.

And take this opportunity to say a few words to Cao Rui.

At this moment, Cao Rui saw Bai Mengli coming, so he nodded at her and said, "Go ahead, Junior Brother Bai."

At this point, Bai Mengli immediately said, "Uncle Cao, I have a question for you."

"Oh? What's the problem?" Cao Rui looked at her with interest.

"That is... when I was refining the Qingshuang Pill, a part of it would always burn when I placed the fifth hand of spiritual medicine. Why is that?"

Bai Mengli asked with a frown.

Cao Rui thought about it for a while and soon found the reason: "It should be that you were a little slow when refining the third and fourth spiritual medicines, so this situation happened. Hmm... You should increase the firepower slightly to speed up the refining of these two spiritual medicines..."

After listening to Cao Rui's explanation, Bai Mengli suddenly understood and a look of enlightenment appeared on her face.

As the deacon of the Alchemy Institute, Bai Mengli's alchemy skills are actually quite good.

Although he had only started practicing the Green Flame Alchemy, he had already mastered most of the basic Level 0 alchemy techniques.

What she is best at refining is the Bigu Pill, which is also one of the pills frequently used by most low-level cultivators.

In addition, she also mastered zero-level elixirs such as detoxification pills and beauty pills.

Although these pills are not very useful in battle, they are very popular for some female cultivators who like to maintain their appearance.

Bai Mengli also masters the method of refining the first-level elixir Huiyuan Dan, and can be said to be a beginner alchemist.

However, unlike Cao Rui, Bai Mengli did not have such a miraculous auxiliary means as experience beads like him.

Every time she learned a new alchemy technique or recipe, she had to start from scratch.

As the level of the elixir increased, more knowledge and skills needed to be learned, so the speed at which her alchemy skills improved naturally slowed down.

Seeing that Bai Mengli took alchemy so seriously, the twenty or so disciples from the Alchemy Academy also responded positively.

They enthusiastically asked Cao Rui various questions, hoping to better understand the key points and techniques of refining the Qingshuang Pill.

After learning new knowledge from Cao Rui, everyone seemed eager to try to refine this precious elixir themselves.

The main reason is that learning how to refine Qingshuang Pills can earn you much more profit than making other 0-level elixirs.

In this way, more than two hours passed quickly.

At the very end, Cao Rui even took out the alchemy furnace and personally refined a batch of Qingshuang Pill for the disciples of the Alchemy Academy on the spot before ending the sermon.

After the sermon, Cao Rui found Su Zimo and asked for some recipes for elixirs such as Huiyuan Pills, Jiedu Pills, and Huixue Pills.

When you have nothing to do, you can refine the alchemy in the alchemy room.

As the saying goes, having many skills is always a waste.

As for the level 2 alchemy technique and level 2 pill recipe, they require the spiritual awareness and magic power of the foundation-building period to be refined.

Although Cao Rui wanted to learn, he was unable to practice for the time being.

A few more days passed.

On this day, Su Zimo suddenly summoned Cao Rui, Bai Mengli and Zhang Chenyi to the meeting room of the Alchemy Institute.

Cao Rui secretly looked at Su Zimo's face, which was not looking good.

Su Zimo's alchemy skills were not very high, he was just a nominal elder. He usually spent most of his time practicing in seclusion in the pagoda and rarely stayed in the alchemy academy.

Gathering everyone together at this time must mean something big is happening.

After everyone sat down, Su Zimo slowly said: "Everyone, I have something to tell you, this matter is a bit heavy..." He took a deep breath, and then said in a low voice: "The soul lamp of Han Yuansheng, the leader of Han, has gone out."

Hearing these words, Cao Rui's heart suddenly shook, and an indescribable sadness surged in his heart.

Is Master Han Dan dead? Cao Rui murmured in his heart.

Although it had been a long time since Han Yuansheng last left the sect, he had never thought that this guy who taught him the art of alchemy and was considered to be his half-mentor would pass away so suddenly.

Han Yuansheng was truly generous when it came to teaching the art of alchemy. When the sect lacked foundation-building pills, he did not complain but went straight out to look for foundation-building opportunities on his own.

Originally, based on his foundation as an alchemist, if he had made a request to the sect master, the sect master would have certainly given him another foundation-building pill.

"The chief... is dead?" Bai Mengli and Zhang Chenyi also widened their eyes, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

They could never have imagined that Han Yuansheng, who always had a smile on his face and possessed superb alchemy skills, would encounter an unexpected incident.

Cao Rui frowned and asked solemnly, "What was the cause of death?"

He hoped to get some information from Su Zimo and find out how Han Yuansheng died.

Unfortunately, Su Zimo also shook his head: "The cause of death is unknown, but Han Yuansheng is the true disciple of our sect, he cannot die in such an unclear way.

"At present, under the order of the clan leader, the chief of the Law Enforcement Court has sent personnel to investigate the situation."

"Once we find out that he was the one who killed us, our Spirit Beast Sect will not let the murderer off."

"According to the information sent back by the soul lamp, Han Yuansheng's place of death is in the territory of Liang State. I hope it has nothing to do with Yunshui Sect." When talking about Yunshui Sect, Su Zimo's tone was a little stiff.

Given his age, he had naturally participated in the previous Spirit Mine War between the Spirit Beast Sect and the Yunshui Sect, so he did not have much good feelings towards the Yunshui Sect.

"If they are related to the Yunshui Sect, the Sect Master will not let them off easily." Su Zimo said.

"Liang State?" Cao Rui murmured.

Cao Rui naturally knew that just as the Moon Kingdom was controlled by the Spirit Beast Sect, the Liang Kingdom was also ruled by the Cloud Water Sect.

The State of Liang was located to the north of the States of Xiao and Yue. It had a large territory and many pristine sacred mountains within its territory.

I'm afraid Han Yuansheng is going to those sacred mountains for the spiritual medicines to find the spiritual medicines for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

It’s just that the materials for the foundation-building pill are complicated. Although it belongs to the first level, the spiritual medicine required is complex and varied, and the difficulty is no less than that of the second-level pill.

These precious herbs often grow in specific environments and are difficult to find.

Therefore, in order to obtain them, in addition to luck, you also need strength and opportunity.

Obviously, Han Yuansheng's luck is not very good.

However, Cao Rui could also understand Han Yuansheng's strong desire to build a foundation.

In the world of cultivating immortals, the foundation-building stage can be regarded as a huge watershed.

Only by entering the foundation-building stage can one truly increase his lifespan by a hundred years. This is the first step on the path to immortality.

Only by laying a solid foundation can we have a broader space for development.
