In his later years, he was backstabbed by his third wife, and he awakened the Wei Xiaobao system

Elder You spoke first, breaking the awkward silence.

The questions he asked were actually a bit presumptuous. He started by asking who Li Qingfeng's master was and what rank of alchemist he was.

Li Qingfeng didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Who is your teacher?

My master Gu Hanshan has passed away, and he never taught me anything about alchemy.

As for the rank of alchemist...that's even more embarrassing.

He, Li Qingfeng, is a lousy alchemist.

It's purely a filler.

Even he himself was embarrassed to call himself an alchemist.

However, although Li Qingfeng has no other skills, he does have the ability to make up stories.

Anyway, when you go out, your identity is given by yourself.

You can't just admit that you don't know how to make pills, right?

That's so embarrassing.

"Li has no master."

Li Qingfeng said lightly.

No master?

The three elders You couldn't help but look at each other.

My goodness?

Could it be that Li Qingfeng is self-taught?

This is a bit too difficult.

In the path of alchemy, talent is extremely important, and if one wants to truly embark on the path of alchemy, it is almost impossible without a guide.

If you don't know the principles of alchemy, don't know the various recipes, and don't have contact with various medicinal materials, you will never become an alchemist by relying solely on your own exploration.

This is almost universally recognized in the Daoist community.

Even if there are self-taught alchemists, they still have to rely on some relatively complete alchemy classics to figure it out, and they need to put in more effort than ordinary alchemists.

Moreover, if you are not careful, it is easy to take a detour and go further and further away, until it becomes difficult to change after you realize it.

Therefore, almost all alchemists in the world of alchemy have a master.

The master passed it on to the disciple, and the disciple passed it on to the next person.

This cycle continues over and over again.

"Um... Did Fellow Daoist Li comprehend the Dao of Alchemy on his own?"

Elder You asked again. He was already quite curious about Li Qingfeng.

Li Qingfeng shook his head and smiled faintly.

“It’s not something I realized on my own.”

"what?"

The three elders You were even more confused.

There is no master-disciple inheritance, and it is not self-realization?

Then how did you acquire such proficiency in alchemy?

Could it be that he suddenly possessed it?

"Actually... before I started practicing cultivation, Li once dreamed of an immortal."

"what?"

As soon as Li Qingfeng said this, Elder You and the other two were immediately stunned.

Have you ever dreamed of an immortal?

Li Qingfeng didn't care about their reactions and continued talking.

"I don't remember how many years ago it was, but at that time I hadn't yet started practicing. One day, while taking a nap, I dreamt of a white-robed immortal appearing in my dream."

"This white-robed immortal is handsome and extraordinary, ethereal and otherworldly. He is a peerless existence that I, Li, cannot describe."

"In his dream, he gave Li a golden tripod and told him that the power of alchemy in the world is the same, and as long as he understands a little, he can apply it to other things."

"After waking up from the dream, Li had already learned many things about the Dao of Alchemy, without any teacher."

There was still a hint of nostalgia on his face, as if this had happened a very long time ago.

The result was that Elder You and the other two were stunned.

Immortal appears in dream?

Give me some advice?

And also gave a precious tripod?

Why are you talking nonsense to the three of us?

The three elders You are the chief elders of the Tianhuo Dan League after all, and they are considered to be knowledgeable people.

Of course I won't believe this kind of nonsense.

After all, people are two-faced. Who knows whether what you say is true or false when you move your little mouth?

It’s not entirely up to you to say.

"Ahem, ahem, is there such a strange thing in the world?"

An elder next to Elder You echoed in embarrassment.

Li Qingfeng sighed with emotion: "If I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't believe that such a thing existed in the world."

"But...it's true."

Facts, you're a fucking bullshit!

You're such a bad old man!

We are all old men. You are lying to them and deceiving them. You have a very bad conscience.

"As for the rank of the alchemist... To be honest, I have never taken an alchemist exam, so I'm not even a first-rank alchemist at this point."

Li Qingfeng said with a smile.

Elder You stroked his beard slightly and said, "That's not a problem. Fellow Daoist Li is a master of the Dao of Alchemy. Even if he doesn't have the rank of an alchemist, no one would doubt Fellow Daoist Li's attainments in the Dao of Alchemy."

Li Qingfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really a little worried that these three old men would ask him to take the alchemist test on the spot.

Then I can’t bear it anymore.

But Elder You's next words made Li Qingfeng suddenly nervous.

"May I ask, Fellow Daoist Li, was the Dionysus Pill that we refined during the second trial also instructed by the immortal in our dream?"

While Elder You was asking questions, his sharp eyes were also watching the changes in Li Qingfeng's expression.

It seemed as if he wanted to see some clues from Li Qingfeng's face.

Dionysus Pill?

What is the Dionysus Pill?

Is the pill I randomly made in the second trial the Dionysus Pill?

Li Qingfeng didn't even know what kind of elixir he was refining.

It's purely a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

"That's not true."

Li Qingfeng also noticed that Elder You seemed to be examining him. Although he was startled, he remained calm and steady as an old dog.

"The immortal appeared in my dream only to enlighten me on the way to alchemy. Afterwards, I read various ancient books on alchemy and visited many ancient ruins, so I learned some rare alchemy recipes."

"Oh? If that's the case, then Fellow Daoist Li must be a very knowledgeable person."

"No, no, I just read a little more and walked a little more."

Li Qingfeng waved his hand and said.

"As the saying goes, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles are the only way to complement each other and appreciate the true path of cultivation!"

"Whether it's alchemy or cultivation, it's all the same."

“The more you walk and the more you see, the more you will naturally gain.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the other elder beside Elder You couldn't help but be moved.

This elder’s surname is Zhu, and he is also the chief elder of the Dan League.

But he has been the chief elder for nearly four hundred years.

Over the past four hundred years, Elder Zhu has never left the Tianhuo Dan League and has always remained in the Dan League.

Although his attainments in alchemy are very high, he has reached the level of a seventh-grade alchemist.

But for some reason, Elder Zhu always felt powerless in recent years.

The sixth and seventh grade pills that he could refine relatively easily in the past, now he finds it difficult to refine them.

Even the number of failures has increased.

He might not be in good shape once or twice, but after doing so for a long time, Elder Zhu became deeply aware that he seemed to have regressed.

And the degree of regression is not small.

Even when refining the sixth-grade elixir, mistakes occurred.

This is absolutely unacceptable to a chief elder who has reached the level of a seventh-grade alchemist.

Elder Zhu also practiced hard in seclusion, hoping to restore his alchemy skills to their peak.

But it had no effect. Instead, because of his increasing anxiety, his attainments in alchemy declined rapidly.

Elder Zhu hasn't made pills in front of others for a long time now, because he is afraid of failure, and even more afraid of letting other alchemists know that he can no longer make seventh-grade pills.

But Li Qingfeng's words undoubtedly made Elder Zhu's eyes light up.

Could it be that it’s because I’ve been in the Dan League for too long that I’ve become complacent?

Maybe... I should really go out for a walk as Li Qingfeng said?
