Chapter 64: Secrets of Tianxing City
Tianya Academy, Yunshui Residence, Qingshan House.
A few days later, then.
(So boring, this time is a bit hard to bear~ Yes, I remember buying a book "Tianxing City Secret Record" when I was in Tianxing City, but I never had time to read it.)
Lin Yixuan took out "Tianxing City Strange Stories" from the ring and opened it to read.
'Before Tianxing City was established, Tianxing Secret Realm already existed. Later, a person established an organization to monopolize the secret realm, which led to the current Tianxing City. It is said that the person was a star who came down to earth and was blessed by the heavens to achieve this.'
(It's pretty impressive that one person can build a whole city.)
Lin Yixuan continued to read.
'The master of Tianxing City was inspired by destiny and established Tianxing Academy. Through research, he discovered that the blood clan had blood power, and found out how to use the blood power. He also established the Blood Palace. From then on, the blood clan respected Tianxing City and named it the Big Dipper, and established seven affiliated cities.'
(………Uh~ Would anyone really believe such a lie?)
Lin Yixuan continued to flip through the pages.
'The remains of the dragon race were found near Tianxing City and were recovered by the Tianxing City Lord's Mansion, but the Lord's Mansion flatly denied it.'
(………………)
"Looking down from the highest point of the Tianxing Secret Realm, you can see an endless sea of stars. In the endless sea of stars are hidden god-level skills and secret manuals. Some people have commented that this person has gone astray in his practice, which is pure nonsense. Some people have also verified that they can't see the endless sea of stars he mentioned at all."
(…………)
'That person had already reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage when Tianxing City was first established. Later, I heard that he violated the will of Heaven and was killed by Heaven. No trace of his body was left!'
(Forget it, this is too much. The person involved is not here and it’s all made up by a pen. Forget it, I won’t read it.) Lin Yixuan put away "Tianxing City Strange Stories".
After two Kun months.
Lin Yixuan stretched his body, and then raised his cultivation aura to the Great Perfection of Qi Training. (Next, he would go to Xuehai Hall and ask the elders how to break through, and then he could smoothly advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage.)
'In the past few months, the woman in blue has never come to this room again!'
Tianya Academy, inside Xuehai Hall.
"In just ten months, you have broken through from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining?"
The old man looked at Lin Yixuan in confusion.
'This old man is the elder Li who issued the identity token to Lin Yixuan at that time.'
"Maybe it's because I started practicing late, and I'm just accumulating a lot of experience!"
Lin Yixuan smiled awkwardly.
(Is this breakthrough so difficult?)
Elder Li used his spiritual sense to explore the spiritual power in Lin Yixuan.
(It is true that he has reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage. Could this boy really be a genius?)
Elder Li cleared his throat.
"It's not easy to break through to the foundation-building stage. Many people are stuck at this stage and can't get past it. The foundation-building pill is extremely precious. However, there will be a trial in a few days. If you perform well, I heard that you will have a chance to get the foundation-building pill as a reward."
(I can still get it by participating in the trial. This thing can’t be that difficult to refine. If that’s the case, I can just refine it myself!)
"Forget about that. I am not good at attacking, so I am afraid that my performance will not be very good. I wonder if I can refine this foundation-building pill by myself?"
Lin Yixuan asked.
(Hmm~ Could he be a genius at refining pills? No, this guy hasn’t practiced for long, how could he refine anything?)
"You can refine it yourself, but it's very difficult to refine. If you have never been exposed to the Dao of Alchemy, forget it."
Elder Li persuaded.
(It seems I have to find an excuse to convince Elder Li that I can make pills.)
"Elder Li, my family has been practicing medicine for generations. I know a lot about herbs and pharmacology. I also occasionally make some pills for fun. I think making foundation-building pills shouldn't be a big problem."
Lin Yixuan said respectfully.
(Could this guy really be a genius at alchemy, with decent talent? If so, I can introduce him to that person.)
"I see. Since you are interested in refining pills, I have an old friend who is an alchemist. He is currently the only alchemist in our academy who has reached the earth level! I can take you there and introduce him to him."
Elder Li said.
"In that case, thank you very much, Elder Li."
Lin Yixuan cupped his hands and said,
(Earth-grade alchemist? Never mind! The next step should be very simple.)
"Come with me!"
After saying this, Elder Li packed up his things and walked in another direction.
Tianya College, Wanjuan Building.
(Didn’t this guy take me to see the alchemist? Why did he bring me here?)
"Elder Li, where are we?"
Lin Yixuan asked in confusion.
"Don't say anything, just follow me."
Elder Li said in a low voice.
"No noise is allowed in Wanjuan Tower"
Reaching the stairs, Elder Li hesitated for a moment and said to Lin Yixuan.
"Wait for me here. The rules cannot be broken."
Elder Li went up to the second floor alone, came to a door and knocked, only to hear an impatient voice from inside.
"Who is it? Isn't it annoying to keep knocking, knocking, knocking all day? Didn't I tell you not to disturb me?"
"Wan Laogui, it's me, Lao Li!"
Elder Li said.
The door opened a little, then a head popped out, looked around, then opened the door and said.
"It's you, why are you looking for me?"
"Nothing much, just a little guy who took less than a year to go from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining..."
Elder Li was interrupted before he could finish his words!
"Since you are a genius in cultivation, why tell me? Just accept him as your disciple."
Elder Wan said a little impatiently.
"He said that he is not good at attacking, and his family has been practicing medicine for generations. He is also quite knowledgeable about herbal medicine and pharmacology. He wants to learn alchemy, so he came to you!"
Elder Li explained.
"Go, go, go! You said the same thing last time! But in the end, you still can't do anything. If I didn't happen to need someone to take care of the herbs, and if that girl wasn't diligent and had some talent, I would have kicked you out long ago."
Elder Wan said threateningly.
"This time, it's different. I promise you, there will be absolutely no problem."
Elder Li patted his chest and assured.
Elder Wan looked at Li Laogui's serious expression.
(Is it true this time?)
While Elder Wan was still hesitating, Elder Li continued.
"You also know that you don't have any successors, and your current attainments in alchemy must be passed down. It just so happens that there is someone with good cultivation talent and proficient in pharmacology. Isn't this a good opportunity!"
(Indeed, after so many years, there has not been a suitable successor. Although that girl is barely passable, she is still not good enough to be a successor.)
"Okay, for the last time, I'll go with you to meet this guy. If you lie to me, then don't even think about getting pills from me in the future!"
Elder Wan threatened.
