Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing

The vigorous growth of the purple ginseng seedlings made Xiao Bei's ambition begin to expand.

The spiritual medicine needed for the Foundation Establishment Pill is so precious, and he, a small servant in the medicine garden, actually grew it!

This feeling is even better than getting all super rare characters (SSR) in ten consecutive draws by a lucky guy!

"Since we can grow elixirs, why can't we make pills?" Xiao Bei touched his chin, his eyes flashing with brilliance.

Planting elixirs is only the initial stage of utilizing resources for cultivating immortals, refining pills is the real way!

By then, once the elixir is available, building the foundation will be a piece of cake, right?

He excitedly found Sun Bo and talked incessantly about his plan to make elixirs, which left the old man stunned.

"Xiao Xiao," Sun Bo took a puff of his pipe, "alchemy is the job of the alchemy room. We in the medicine garden only grow herbs. It's been like this for hundreds of years. The rules passed down by our ancestors cannot be broken!"

When Xiao Bei heard this, he immediately became deflated.

How come this old man is harder to break through than the firewall!

He then went to find Old Zhao, the manager of the menial service area, but the result was even worse. When Old Zhao heard about his wild idea of ​​refining an elixir, he glared at him and scolded him: "Refining an elixir? You're just a kid in the early stages of Qi training, you haven't even grown all your hair yet, and you want to refine an elixir? First, take good care of the spiritual herbs in the medicine garden!"

"Tsk, old stubborn!" Xiao Bei muttered in his heart, but did not dare to show it on his face.

Since a frontal breakthrough is not possible, let’s save the country in a roundabout way!

He sneaked into the library and burrowed into the pile of old papers like a mole, looking for books related to alchemy.

The system is also very powerful. I directly exchanged it for a set of "Quick Manual of Basic Theory of Alchemy", which provides one-stop service from entry to mastery!

Xiao Bei worked in the medicine garden during the day and hid in the woodshed at night to study alchemy secrets. The light from the system panel reflected his excited face.

He was like a sponge, madly absorbing knowledge about alchemy. He memorized everything from the properties of medicinal materials to the control of the alchemy fire, from the selection of the alchemy furnace to the techniques of making elixirs.

When the other errand disciples saw Xiao Bei's mysterious look, they began to talk about it.

"What the hell is this kid up to?" "I guess it's some unorthodox trick. A menial disciple wants to make pills? What wishful thinking!" "Leave him alone, let him toss around, he'll suffer sooner or later!"

However, Xiao Bei turned a deaf ear to these ridicules. He was immersed in the world of alchemy, as if he had already seen himself refining the foundation-building pill and soaring into the sky.

He even began to secretly collect some common medicinal herbs and built a simple alchemy furnace in the woodshed, preparing for his first attempt at alchemy.

"Hehe, wait until I refine the elixir and blind your dog eyes!" Xiao Bei showed a smug smile on his face and threw an ordinary spiritual herb into the simple alchemy furnace.

"Whoosh—" A small flame shot out from his fingertips, licking the dry firewood at the bottom of the stove...

"Who's there?!" A sharp voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence of the woodshed.

The moment the flames started to jump, Xiao Bei was like a frightened bird and almost overturned the alchemy furnace.

Oops!

Can't be so unlucky?

He quickly put out the fire, covered the stove, and held his breath.

Outside the woodshed, the footsteps were getting closer.

"Who's sneaking around there?" The sharp voice sounded again. Xiao Bei recognized it as another errand disciple from the medicine garden, Wang Ergou, who was famous for telling tales.

"Ahem, it's me, Senior Brother Wang." Xiao Bei walked out with a flattering smile on his face, "I'm... I'm boiling water."

Wang Ergou looked at him suspiciously, his nose twitching. "Boiling water? Why do I smell a strange odor? Are you refining an elixir?"

Xiao Bei cursed in his heart, this nose is sharper than a dog's!

"Alchemy? How could that be possible! I just boiled some hot water to soak my feet, hehe..."

Wang Ergou obviously didn't believe it. He circled around Xiao Bei a few times and his eyes fell on the woodshed behind him: "Let me go in and take a look!"

"This... isn't very convenient?" Xiao Bei stood at the door, feeling very nervous.

"Is there anything inconvenient about this? There must be something wrong with you!" Wang Ergou pushed Xiao Bei away and rushed into the woodshed.

The crude alchemy furnace, the medicinal materials scattered on the ground, the strange smell in the air, everything was exposed.

Wang Ergou was like he had discovered a new world. He pointed at the "evidence" and shouted, "Great! You really are making elixirs! I'm going to tell Uncle Sun!"

Wang Ergou's shouting attracted other errand disciples, who gathered at the door of the woodshed and pointed at Xiao Bei.

"This kid is so audacious! He actually dared to make pills in the medicine garden!" "He's completely disrespectful to his elders and doesn't take our ancestors' rules seriously!" "He must be severely punished. He can't be allowed to ruin the medicine garden's feng shui!"

Soon, a group of conservative disciples working in the medicine garden united and put pressure on Sun Bo to stop Xiao Bei's "deviant" behavior.

Sun Bo couldn't stand the pressure, so he called Xiao Bei over and advised him earnestly: "Xiao Xiao, I know you want to improve your cultivation, but alchemy is not what you should think about. You should focus on growing your spiritual medicine."

Xiao Bei argued: "Uncle Sun, alchemy and medicinal planting are not in conflict. I can do both. Moreover, I can use the knowledge of alchemy to improve the planting methods of the medicine garden and increase the yield of spiritual medicine!"

Uncle Sun sighed, "Xiao Xiao, you are too young and don't understand the rules. The medicine garden has only been used to grow herbs for hundreds of years, and no one has ever thought about refining pills. If you do this, you will break the rules and offend the people in the alchemy room."

"Rules are dead, but people are alive! If we stick to the old rules, there will be no progress in the world of immortal cultivation!" Xiao Bei refused to give in.

Seeing how stubborn he was, Sun Bo's face darkened. "Xiao Xiao, I'm warning you one last time. If you continue to be stubborn, I'll have no choice but to kick you out of the medicine garden!"

Xiao Bei took a deep breath, his eyes determined: "Uncle Sun, I will prove to you that alchemy is beneficial to the medicine garden!"

He turned and left Sun Bo's residence, feeling angry.

Isn’t it just alchemy?

What's so great!

He just didn't believe that with his abilities, he couldn't make a name for himself!

He walked straight into the depths of the medicine garden and his eyes stopped at a secluded corner.

"Huh? What's that?" He parted the dense grass, revealing a pile of worn bricks and tiles...

"This seems to be..."

Xiao Bei pushed aside the weeds, revealing a pile of broken bricks and tiles, and vaguely visible the shape of a rusty alchemy furnace.

"Holy crap! No way? An antique alchemy furnace?" Xiao Bei's eyes lit up. This was simply a divine weapon sent from heaven!

He carefully cleared away the weeds and rubble around it and moved the broken furnace out.

Although it is a bit broken, it is still an alchemy furnace after all!

It’s much better than the “luxury alchemy furnace” he built with broken clay pots!

"System, scan this thing to see if it can still be used." Xiao Bei muttered to himself.

"Ding! Scan completed. This is a low-level alchemy furnace. Its functions are basically intact, but its efficiency is low." The system's voice sounded in his mind.

"It's okay if the efficiency is low, but it's better than nothing." Xiao Bei chuckled and began to collect some low-level medicinal materials, preparing to refine some simple healing pills.

He followed the steps in the "Quick Manual of Basic Alchemy Theory", operating step by step, controlling the heat, refining the medicine liquid, and integrating the medicinal properties...

"Oh!"

With a muffled sound, a puff of black smoke came out of the furnace and a burnt smell filled the air.

"Failure is the mother of success!" Xiao Bei comforted himself and continued to try.

After several consecutive failures, Xiao Bei began to doubt his life.

This alchemy is much more difficult than I imagined!

He began to reflect on his own operations and carefully study the reasons for the failure.

Is it because the heat is not controlled well?

Or is the ratio of medicinal materials wrong?

"System, help me analyze the reason for the failure." Xiao Bei asked the system for help.

"Ding! Analysis completed. The main reason is unstable fire control, which causes the medicinal materials to burn." The system gives an accurate answer.

Xiao Bei suddenly realized that it seemed that he needed to practice more on controlling the temperature!

He continued to try, adjusting the temperature again and again, controlling the size and temperature of the fire.

Finally, after countless failures, a fragrance came from the furnace, and a round pill slowly took shape.

"It's done!" Xiao Bei jumped up excitedly, carefully took out the pill and looked at it carefully.

Although the quality of this pill is average, at least it was successfully refined!

He couldn't wait to show the pill to the menial disciples who were mocking him.

"How's it going? Are you convinced?"

Those errand disciples were dumbfounded. They didn't expect that Xiao Bei could actually refine the elixir.

"This...how is this possible?" Wang Ergou stuttered.

"Hmph, I mean what I say!" Xiao Bei said proudly.

Sun Bo rushed over after hearing the news, and was also surprised to see the pill in Xiao Bei's hand.

"Did you really refine the elixir?"

Xiao Bei nodded: "Uncle Sun, I said that alchemy and medicine cultivation are not in conflict."

Sun Bo looked at Xiao Bei and fell into deep thought.

"Manager Zhao is here!" shouted a errand disciple.

Uncle Sun raised his head and looked at Mr. Zhao who was walking in the distance...

Old Zhao walked over, his face as gloomy as the ash at the bottom of a pot.

The errand disciples around fell silent, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

Sun Bo stepped forward and briefly reported the whole story.

After listening to this, Mr. Zhao's eyes fell on the pill in Xiao Bei's hand, and his brows frowned even tighter.

"Is this what you made?"

Xiao Bei nodded calmly: "That's right."

Old Zhao took the pill, put it to his nose and sniffed it, then twisted it with his fingers, and his expression gradually turned from gloomy to bright.

"Although it looks rough, its medicinal properties are quite stable. I'm surprised you managed to refine it." There was a hint of surprise and admiration in his tone.

The errand disciples around were immediately in an uproar.

"Oh my god! Mr. Zhao actually praised him!" "This kid's luck is about to change!" "If I had known earlier, I would have learned alchemy!" Wang Ergou's face became even more colorful, and he felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.

Old Zhao took out an exquisite little box from his storage bag and handed it to Xiao Bei.

"Here are some Red Flame Flowers and Condensed Dew Grass, both of which are ingredients for refining the 'Resilience Pill'. They're much better than the weeds you used before. Use them well and don't waste them."

Xiao Bei took the box and was ecstatic.

This Mr. Zhao really has a sharp tongue but a soft heart!

He quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Manager Zhao! I will definitely not let you down!"

With the support of Mr. Zhao, Xiao Bei's status in the medicine garden instantly rose several levels.

Those menial disciples who used to sneer at him now looked at him with admiration, and even tried to curry favor with him.

Xiao Bei did not put on airs and generously shared some of his experiences in alchemy, becoming the "alchemy master" in the medicine garden.

"Brother Xiao, you must take me with you when you make pills in the future!"

"Master Xiao, do you need someone to serve tea and water? I'm very strong!"

Xiao Bei felt secretly happy when he heard these names, but he also remained sober.

He knew that he had only refined a low-level healing pill and was still a long way from becoming a true alchemy master.

Moreover, his alchemy behavior will definitely attract more people's attention, especially in the alchemy room, which may bring him trouble.

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Xiao Bei sat cross-legged in the woodshed, holding the Red Flame Flower and Condensed Dew Grass given to him by Old Zhao in his hands, his eyes sparkling.

"Huiling Dan, let's go!" He threw the herbs into the alchemy furnace, and a wisp of flame shot out from his fingertips...

"Boom boom boom!"

A knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Who?" Xiao Bei asked vigilantly.

"It's me, Beili." A crisp voice came from outside the door.
