After doing all this, Su Yun's figure quickly disappeared from the scene.

The hillside behind the hill returned to tranquility once more; no one would know what had happened there.

……

The next day, the first light of dawn appeared in the east.

Su Yun got up, washed up, and went out of the room to fertilize all the medicinal herbs in the herb garden.

After the sun rose, Sun Wuyan came out of the room and stretched his body outside the door.

After seeing Su Yun outside, he glanced at the already watered medicinal herbs and nodded in satisfaction.

Su Yun is indeed a very good kid, he's very easy to take care of.

"Come with me to the alchemy room."

"it is good!"

Su Yun followed Sun Wuyan and entered the alchemy room.

Upon entering, the aroma of elixirs, several times stronger than outside, along with the scents of various medicinal herbs, filled the nostrils.

Inside the room, there were various cabinets all around, labeled with different equipment, medicines, etc., and on the east side there was a large table with various medicinal herbs on it.

In the very center of the house stood a black alchemy furnace, about one meter high and half a meter wide.

Seeing this, Su Yun was surprised, not expecting the alchemy furnace to be so small, which was different from what he had imagined.

Sun Wuyan said, "Go and check the various equipment and medicines in the cabinets around here, and memorize them."

"I'm about to start refining the pills, so you just wait here."

"Be ready to obey my orders and fetch me the items I need."

"If you neglect this duty, you will be held responsible."

Hearing this, Su Yun finally understood that Sun Wuyan wanted him to be his assistant, not to teach him alchemy directly.

However, it wouldn't be bad to just watch from the sidelines, so he nodded in agreement and began to look around the room.

With the blessing of Dao Yuan, his memory ability has become so good that he can remember everything he sees, so he only needs to look at something once to understand everything.

When Sun Wuyan saw Su Yun stand aside after reading it once, he was immediately surprised. This kid really had a talent for alchemy. His ability to remember everything he saw was truly enviable.

He regained his composure and slowly sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, regulating his breathing.

The next moment, he lit the firewood beneath the alchemy furnace.

Before long, a raging fire broke out.

Su Yun was surprised. A pill refiner using ordinary flames?

At this moment, Sun Wuyan said in a low voice, "Bring me the pre-mixed medicinal liquid on the table."

Su Yun dared not delay and quickly retrieved the medicine.

Sun Wuyan continued, "Pour it into the alchemy furnace."

Su Yun did as instructed, pouring all the medicinal liquid into the alchemy furnace and closing the lid.

After that, Sun Wuyan stopped talking and even closed his eyes, sitting cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, like an old monk in deep meditation.

Su Yun stood quietly to the side, watching Sun Wuyan's alchemy progress.

Under Su Yun's watchful eye, Sun Wuyan made almost no move for the next hour or so.

Every now and then, he would either reduce or increase the firepower.

Apart from that, there were no other actions.

"It is said that alchemists have very strong spiritual power. Elder Sun must be using his mind to sense the situation inside the alchemy furnace, and adjusting the size of the flames by sensing the condition of the pills inside the furnace, so that the pills can be formed in the end."

Su Yun secretly wondered to himself.

This was his first time witnessing alchemy. Although he didn't learn anything from it, he gained a general understanding of the process.

Several hours had passed, and just as Su Yun was feeling drowsy, he heard a hissing sound coming from the alchemy furnace.

The next moment, a faint fragrance wafted out from it.

Sun Wuyan, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, suddenly opened his eyes and then waved his hand to extinguish the flames under the furnace.

"It's done."

Sun Wuyan got up and opened the alchemy furnace.

Instantly, an even richer fragrance of elixir wafted out.

Su Yun watched as Sun Wuyan took out dozens of pills from the alchemy furnace, all of them Qi-restoring pills.

For the Qingyun Sect, the most consumed elixir is naturally the Qi-restoring pill, and Sun Wuyan frequently replenishes the sect's resources.

"Can a single batch of pills yield dozens of pills?"

Su Yun said with some surprise.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wuyan proudly stroked his beard and said, "I have been refining low-grade pills for over ten years, so it is naturally a piece of cake for me. I can refine a lot at once."

Su Yun nodded, remembering that Sun Wuyan had given him two Qi-restoring pills earlier.

From this perspective, these medicinal resources are really nothing to Sun Wuyan.

However, he could see that Sun Wuyan's condition was worse than before, which must have meant that he had expended a lot of mental energy.

Sun Wuyan looked at Su Yun and said, "Alright, rest for an hour, then refine another batch of pills."

"it is good."

……

After refining the pills and fertilizing the spiritual herbs, Su Yun returned to his room and continued his cultivation.

Now, he has broken through the first level of body refinement and opened his first true meridian. The true meridian is rooted in his dantian, like the roots of a tree, continuously providing him with energy, making him much stronger than before.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and, following the description of the Tai Xuan Long Body Refining Technique, found the second true meridian in his dantian.

This true meridian is located on the left side of the dantian, above the first true meridian.

Upon closer inspection, one will find that this true vein is rooted in the first true vein, extending upwards like the trunk of a large tree.

Now, Su Yun is using the spiritual energy absorbed by the Cangling Scripture to begin breaking through this true meridian.

Having gained experience from his first breakthrough, Su Yun was much more proficient in his cultivation this time.

Two hours later, Su Yun opened his eyes.

"hu~hu~"

He was panting heavily, his whole body soaked in sweat.

"Although I've become more skilled, the physical and mental exertion required to open the second true meridian far exceeds that required to open the first one."

"It is said that the higher one goes on the path of cultivation, the more time, energy, and resources are required. Now it seems that this is indeed the case."

"Especially for someone like me with less talent, it's even more difficult."

Su Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a break.

The two hours of cultivation had severely depleted his physical strength and greatly exhausted his energy.

After all, opening up a true meridian within the body is extremely dangerous, requiring complete concentration and the use of one's own energy to break through, resulting in enormous energy expenditure.

"Now, the Qi-restoring pill has become very important to me."

"Let's see if we can get some from Elder Sun tomorrow."

Su Yun pondered for a moment, realizing that resources were essential for becoming stronger.

Although Sun Wuyan had an eccentric temper, he would sometimes reward him unexpectedly.

Otherwise, the contribution points he earns from completing tasks wouldn't be enough to buy them.
