Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

After finishing his speech, Master Volcano went straight back to his room. He was exhausted from Chu Yunfan's antics and needed some peace and quiet.

However, Jingjing didn't stay with him for long before Chu Yunfan chased her away again.

"Master Volcano, I'm ready!"

"Ready? So fast!"

Master Volcano calculated the time and found that only an hour had passed.

Then Master Volcano left the room and went to the living room.

Are you really better?

Master Volcano stared at Chu Yunfan, his eyes clearly showing doubt.

However, Chu Yunfan nodded affirmatively.

Seeing this, Master Volcano didn't bother wasting any more time and started testing Chu Yunfan directly.

However, this test gave the Volcano Master quite a fright.

Because, of all the medicinal herbs recorded in that booklet, no matter which one he tested Chu Yunfan on, whether it was the name of the herb, its appearance, or its medicinal effects, Chu Yunfan answered every single question correctly.

What's even more terrifying is that Chu Yunfan remembers exactly where each type of medicinal herb is suitable to grow and what precautions to take when harvesting it, down to the last detail.

"Are you a monster?"

Master Volcano stared at Chu Yunfan and suddenly said this.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan waved his hand.

"Master Volcano, what makes me look like a monster to you?"

"You look like a monster from head to toe!"

The Volcano Master made a comment.

Suddenly, he tilted his head and stared at Chu Yunfan with a suspicious expression.

"Kid, did you memorize this before?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan gave a wry smile.

"Master Volcano, it's heartbreaking for someone to doubt you like this!"

Upon hearing this, Master Volcano retorted:

"I would be heartbroken if I didn't doubt you like this!"

After speaking, Master Volcano took out another booklet and handed it to Chu Yunfan:

"I'll give you one more hour to memorize this whole thing, and then I'll believe you!"

After saying that, Master Volcano returned to his room.

"Young man, this is the experience I've accumulated over many years of alchemy."

Nobody else has seen it except myself. If you can memorize it so quickly, I'll truly admire you!

The Volcano Master lay in his rocking chair, looking completely at ease.

He didn't believe that anyone could have such a terrifying memory.

However, the tables always turn so quickly.

This time, only a few tens of minutes later, Chu Yunfan's familiar voice once again entered the room.

"Master Volcano, I'm healed again!"

"It's healed so quickly!"

The volcano master was so frightened he almost collapsed his rocking chair.

He then quickly returned to the living room and began testing Chu Yunfan again.

This time, after the exam, Master Volcano's expression was even more exaggerated than before; his mouth was so wide open that it could practically fit a roast suckling pig.

The reason for this is that Master Volcano did not give a complete answer when he talked about his talent for alchemy.

He only mentioned two common types of talent, but he didn't mention the more important type.

That is mental strength.

So-called spiritual power is actually the power extended from the soul, which is the same as the mind mentioned before. However, the mind is the term used on Earth, while spiritual power is the term used in the cultivation world of Qingyun Continent, but they are essentially the same.

Memory, in turn, stems from mental strength.

Chu Yunfan demonstrated an amazing memory, which means that his mental strength is very strong.

Alchemy is a very complex process that consumes a lot of mental energy.

People with insufficient mental strength often experience dizziness and mental exhaustion halfway through alchemy, leading to failure.

Moreover, the higher the level of the pill being refined, the greater the requirement for mental strength.

Therefore, the primary requirement for becoming a high-level alchemist is to possess strong mental power.

Therefore, mental strength is the ultimate factor that determines alchemy talent.

The reason why Master Volcano tested Chu Yunfan on these two booklets was precisely for this purpose.

It took Master Volcano a long while to recover from his shock.

Then he patted Chu Yunfan on the shoulder and sighed heavily.

"Sigh! To be honest, if this weren't the Qingyun Sword Sect, I would really want to slap you to death. Your talent is just too infuriating!"

Although there are no lemons in the Azure Cloud Continent, Chu Yunfan felt that the Volcano Master at this moment was like a giant lemon, so sour it was unbearable.

Of course, in order not to provoke Master Volcano, Chu Yunfan chose to remain silent.

After a while, he cautiously asked:

"Master Volcano, can you teach me alchemy now?"

Upon hearing the words "alchemy," Master Volcano's expression changed, but he quickly returned to normal, becoming extremely serious.

"Alchemy is not child's play and should not be easily passed on to outsiders."

If you really want to learn, you must first become my student.

Of course, he was only a disciple in name only.

I know my limitations; with my talent, I am not qualified to be your teacher.

If you're interested, I'll take you to Dan Shen Valley to formally become an apprentice later.

"How's it going, kid?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan did not hesitate at all and immediately bowed in respect.

"Disciple Chu Yunfan greets Master!"

Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's words, Master Volcano suddenly showed a very happy expression on his face.

Hahaha! Great!

"For Volcano to have a disciple like you is something to brag about when we return to Pill God Valley!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Volcano handed Chu Yunfan a jade slip and said:

"This jade slip contains the alchemy techniques I have learned."

Take it home and study it first. When you're confident enough, come back to me, and I'll teach you formal alchemy!

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan immediately accepted the jade slip.

The moment Chu Yunfan received the jade slip, Master Volcano suddenly began to move his lips and mutter incantations.

Then, he saw the jade figure transform into a stream of light and rush into Chu Yunfan's mind.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan looked up at Master Volcano.

The volcano master explained:

"The art of alchemy is extraordinary and cannot be revealed, so it is protected by restrictions."

But don't worry, this jade slip is in your mind. You can perceive its contents with a thought.

Only when you have finished learning the contents of the jade slip will it turn to ashes and disappear on its own.

After hearing this explanation, Chu Yunfan nodded and then bid farewell to Master Huoshan.

After all, he still needed to rush back to deliver the refined pills to Lin Tianya.

Of course, before returning to the Lin family, he first went to the First Elder's courtyard.

One reason is to express gratitude.

As for the second option, it is naturally to return the elder's token to the Grand Elder.

However, to Chu Yunfan's surprise, as he left the Grand Elder's courtyard, Liu Suxin suddenly ran out again and shouted at him:

"Chu Yunfan, I'll be waiting for you. Let's spar again next time!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan felt a headache coming on and quickened his pace to leave the outer forest.

"Is this Junior Sister Liu a reincarnation of a tigress? Why does she love fighting and killing so much!"
