I just want to be a middleman

Ever since Qian Duoduo drew Qi into her body, she has been learning spells of all sizes. At the beginning, Sect Leader Miyin gave her a collection of low-level spells, and now Qian Duoduo is finally using it.

Let’s start with the ball. You can summon fireballs and water balls. This should not be difficult. Well... I can cast a fireball, but it won’t extinguish it. Quickly summon another water ball. Madfake!

This set of clothes was also worn out, so Qian Duoduo had to change clothes and continue to meditate. In the evening, he took out the talisman paper and began to draw according to the patterns in the book. Every time he put pen to paper, he couldn't finish even the simplest meditation talisman. He couldn't persist until the end.

Every time I draw a talisman, it is an exhilarating workout, with sweat dripping down my neck like a small river...

Directing the spiritual energy to the pen, then writing on the talisman paper, is so simple. My eyes, my brain, and my hands all work, but I just can't draw! What went wrong? X﹏X

Qian Duoduo's daily routine was the same: practicing simple spells in the morning, meditating at noon, and drawing talismans in the evening. His days were dull and tedious.

Now Qian Duoduo can draw air into his body and store spiritual energy in his dantian. Qian Duoduo discovered that there were five vines in his dantian. Every time he meditated and practiced, they would compete for the spiritual energy, which made Qian Duoduo very uncomfortable.

He could only practice harder, meditating whenever he had time, day or night. Then he used his spiritual energy to flow through every inch of his body, constantly widening his meridians and Dantian.

When Qian Duoduo was drawing the meditation talisman at night, looking at the few blank talisman papers left, Qian Duoduo calmed down, circulated the spiritual energy in his body, and then slowly guided the spiritual energy to start writing. This time it was much easier.

I succeeded on my first try tonight! I quickly pressed on and drew one more. Then I reached the middle stage of Qi Refining. It was very natural... a breakthrough that came naturally!

Qian Duoduo was so happy that he wanted to take a nap immediately. Although he didn't need to sleep after drawing the qi into his body, Qian Duoduo still wanted to follow the laws of human beings. He ate when he should eat and slept when he should sleep. Now Qian Duoduo would not eat if he could avoid it. He just drank spiritual spring water and occasionally ordered takeout.

But I can't sleep. I finally broke through the middle stage, so I should continue to prepare for the late stage. As long as I can reach the foundation building stage, I will be fine. As long as I can reach the golden elixir stage... As long as I can ascend, I will be fine. These words are so familiar.

If only I could finish my studies, find a job, get married, have children, that would be enough. No... what's good about this? Who is good about this?

Qian Duoduo put away the remaining talisman paper and used the meditation talisman he had drawn on Yuanyuan and Quanquan. The two little ones were now practicing very hard, so Qian Duoduo used the talisman to give them a small buff. Although it was of the lowest level, it was also a thoughtful gesture.

Even Qian Xiaoju has used it, so calm down and have a good sleep, baby.

Qian Duoduo sat in the yard, letting the moonlight shine on his body, and then began to absorb spiritual energy. What Qian Duoduo couldn't see was that the spiritual energy was madly rushing around him to form a big circle surrounding him. The spiritual energy was abundant enough to turn into substance. Qian Duoduo didn't notice anything, he just closed his eyes and kept absorbing spiritual energy and sending it into his dantian.

The sky after dawn was filled with a mysterious purple aura, which gently enveloped the earth like a veil. The mountains in the distance appeared particularly majestic and magnificent against the backdrop of the morning light.

The nearby trees were also illuminated by the morning light, and their branches and leaves swayed gently in the breeze.

The morning light is purple, making people feel the magic and beauty of nature. It brings hope and vitality to the new day, making people intoxicated in this peaceful and beautiful atmosphere.

Qian Duoduo was spoiling the fun, trying to absorb the purple energy and convert it into his own use. As expected, he failed and almost lost all his original energy.

Qian Duoduo stood up, stretched, and prepared to find something to eat, but a voice came from outside the door, "Junior sister, are you there?"

I opened the door and saw a senior brother standing at the door, "What's going on?"

"In three days, you new disciples will compete. I'll come and tell you. We'll compete in the training grounds then."

The training ground was where the sect's disciples practiced. It was a large space with plenty of arenas. There would be another exciting show to watch. This time, the competition was decided by drawing lots, with two people competing in groups. The winner would move on to the next round, while the loser could rest.

Two hundred disciples, including direct disciples, inner disciples, and outer disciples, competed with each other. There were 100 matches, and it was over in two or three days. If it was fast, it would be over in two days.

Now it’s just rookies fighting each other, it’s over in a flash, and as long as they leave the ring, they lose.

"Okay, thank you, senior brother."

Qian Duoduo decided to go to a classroom. He couldn't just read some books and learn on his own. That would only make him complacent. He had to study systematically with the teachers in the classroom.

-

The classroom is very large and is divided into different areas. There are teachers who specialize in alchemy, teachers who teach herbal medicine, and teachers who teach the students about the temperature and precautions during the alchemy process.

There are also people who teach how to refine equipment. You need to learn theoretical knowledge and then practice it, which means swinging hammers. The senior brothers and sisters who refine equipment all have muscular bodies and good figures.

There were even instructions for herbal cultivation and care. Every class had a reason, and the content was practical. Qian Duoduo found the classroom where they were teaching Qi into the body, then walked in carefully and sat down in the corner.

"The first step in our practice is to feel the spiritual energy. Now everyone close your eyes and feel the existence of the spiritual energy. Then draw the spiritual energy into your body and let it flow through your limbs. Feel the feeling of the spiritual energy flowing through your body, and finally bring the spiritual energy into your Dantian. This completes the process of drawing the energy into the body. The more spiritual energy you store in your Dantian, the smoother it will be when you use it in the future. If it is too little, you may die from spiritual energy exhaustion during a fight. There have been many such incidents in the past." The teacher in front said, and Qian Duoduo in the corner listened carefully and took a pen and paper to write down the key points.

After meditating in the classroom for a class, Qian Duoduo ran to the alchemy class, ready to learn how to make elixirs. After all, reading books may not allow one to understand everything.

Why are there so few people in this classroom? Isn’t alchemy popular?

Qian Duoduo found a seat in the middle and waited for the teacher to come.

Qian Duoduo looked at the teacher who came in. He seemed to understand that not many students were taking this teacher's class. His face looked very stern. He didn't say a word when he came in, just looked at the students. I don't know what he was thinking.

The teacher wrote his name on the lecture board and handed out a portion of herbs. I guess he would use them to make pills later.

The teacher's name is Gou Baiyun, which means serious.

"This herbal remedy is today's homework. First, let's figure out the ingredients of the elixir we're going to refine, and then talk about the precautions needed during the alchemy process. Then, everyone can start today's homework."

Homework? What a strange word! I used to be fine with homework for any class, but I was most dreading math homework. It had to be done and handed in right away, but I couldn't even write down the math...

They say people can do anything when pushed to the limit, except math. It's true...

Qian Duoduo has only started his first class, and he already has to do homework.

"The elixir we are going to refine today is the most common fasting elixir, which everyone will use frequently in the future. No matter which elixir we refine, we must understand the herbs needed. If you want to refine the elixir well, you must also learn to identify herbs and recognize their effects. When refining the elixir, the most important thing is to control the fire. The fire should not be small when it should be big, and it should not be big when it should be small. You must be very proficient in controlling the fire. In short, refining the elixir is a very endurance-testing thing. I hope everyone can be careful when refining the elixir. Okay, next I will demonstrate it to you, and then you can do it yourself."

Next, I watched Teacher Gou Boyun preheat the alchemy furnace, put the herbs in one by one, and then used spiritual energy to separate the impurities in the herbs. The control of the fire was different throughout the process. Finally, he took the refined juice in the alchemy furnace, increased the fire power, and used spiritual energy to pinch it into small balls. Finally, he turned off the fire and waited.

It's out of the oven. There's no medicinal aroma, only a hint of medicinal flavor. It looks like this fasting pill is...unpalatable...

"Okay, now you guys try it yourself."
