Comprehension Ability: I Come From the Great Emperor Family

Chu Xi... is actually an Emperor Body in the Alchemy Dao.

This... was actually suppressed by a Martial Artist like Su Changqing?

Meanwhile, at the same time.

Under Ye Jingshan's soothing, Chu Xi finally calmed down.

"Disciple, what exactly happened?"

Ye Jingshan couldn't hold back and asked.

He couldn't figure out what kind of experience could make the proud Chu Xi question if he was any good.

If an Emperor Body is considered 'no good', then there's no such thing as prodigies in this world.

"I taught Su Changqing the Spirit Medicine Compendium."

"And then?"

"He finished it in two days and could recite it backwards."

"Hiss..."

Ye Jingshan was stunned, glancing at Su Changqing beside him, eyes full of shock.

Two days... comprehended the Spirit Medicine Compendium?

"I also taught him the method of fire control, and the Profound Spirit Fire Control Skill."

"And... then?"

"Ugh, he learned both in two days too, and even said I was no good!"

"Hiss..."

Ye Jingshan looked at Su Changqing beside him, completely dumbfounded.

Two days to finish the Spirit Medicine Compendium, two days to learn the Profound Spirit Fire Control Skill...

He glanced down at Chu Xi, his mouth twitching.

No wonder the dignified Emperor Body was beaten into this state.

Forget about Chu Xi, even he, a Pill Saint, felt discouraged.

"Something's not right?"

After being lost in thought for a long time, Ye Jingshan looked amusedly at the teary Chu Xi,

"With your character, you didn't make a move against Changqing?"

Chu Xi wanted to cry but had no tears and said, "I did make a move, but got sent flying with one punch."

"And you still said I bullied him, boo hoo..."

Hearing this, Ye Jingshan looked shocked at Su Changqing.

Although Chu Xi was only at the Divine Body realm, his terrifying combat power could suppress even gods at their peak.

Yet... he was sent flying with one punch by Su Changqing?

"This... who exactly is the Emperor Body here."

Returning to his senses, Ye Jingshan shook his head with a laugh and sighed:

"The Little Immortal Sect is indeed hiding talents; Old Wu has taken an extraordinary disciple."

Su Changqing awkwardly smiled, "I haven't yet apologized to seniors and junior siblings."

"Apologize for what?"

Seizing the opportunity, Ye Jingshan hardened his heart and looked at Chu Xi, saying:

"In the past, you've been excessively arrogant; as your master, I've often told you to restrain yourself, yet you stubbornly did as you pleased."

"Now you realize that there's always someone better, always a higher mountain, right?"

"In cultivation, talent is important, but even more important is an indomitable, resilient Dao heart!"

"Today's intentional suppression by your Senior Brother Changqing is to temper your character."

"But have you thought, if I'm not around and Changqing were your enemy, what would you do then?"

"Feel wronged? Cry?"

Ye Jingshan said sternly, "Tears won't make your enemies retreat!"

"There is no one in the world who will be your lifelong support; only your own fists and skills are your greatest reliance!"

Chu Xi lowered his head, wiping away tears, for the first time not talking back to his teacher, listening carefully.

And although these words were directed at Chu Xi, Su Changqing beside him also listened solemnly and attentively.

It was only at this moment that he profoundly understood.

The 'concealment' style of teaching by his Confucian teacher in the past was a great wealth.

He should be grateful that he never lost his true self due to that overwhelming talent.

Just as the Pill Saint said, compared to talent, more important is that tenacious Dao heart!

"I've been taught."

Su Changqing seemed to have realized something, respectfully bowed and said.

"Changqing."

Ye Jingshan looked at Su Changqing with approval and said, "You've done me a great favor."

"Whatever you ask for, there will be no refusal!"

Ye Jingshan's lifespan was running low, and there were few things in this world he still feared.

Among them, the one he was most concerned about was his disciple.

Being young and arrogant is not a big problem; with him around, even if Chu Xi caused trouble, he could cover it.

But the problem is he can't take care of Chu Xi for a lifetime.

Returning to the Celestial Pill Pavilion, he didn't know if he could come back, and if he really was no more...

With Chu Xi's character, he would inevitably cause big trouble sooner or later.

Now being able to let Chu Xi restrain himself somewhat through Su Changqing's hand made him feel grateful.

"Senior, could you teach me alchemy?"

Upon hearing this, Su Changqing's eyes lit up and he asked.

"Alchemy?"

Ye Jingshan seemed a bit hesitant and then gritted his teeth, saying, "I had intended to take my leave today."

"But since it is your request, I shall stay a few more days."

"However..."

He looked at Chang Qing and said, "I cannot stay long, I can't teach you much, so consider it carefully."

The favor from the Pill Saint is very valuable.

"Rest assured, elder, it won't take much of your time!"

Chang Qing nodded heavily, showing anticipation.

"Haha, good."

Ye Jingshan laughed loudly, then pondered, "You have already mastered the knowledge of medicine, and fire control."

"Next comes alchemy."

With that, he casually waved his hand, and a pill furnace about three zhang tall, completely purple-red, appeared in front of Chang Qing.

"This is a Celestial Tier inferior-grade spirit artifact, the Ziyang Furnace, filled with dense pill patterns inside, greatly enhancing the pill quality and success rate."

"I give this to you as a greeting gift."

The grandeur of Ye Jingshan's gesture left Chang Qing somewhat flattered.

A Celestial Tier inferior-grade spirit artifact, and such a precious pill furnace, its value is unimaginable.

"Elder, this item is too precious, and I..."

Before Chang Qing could finish, Shen Bainian nearby chuckled and interrupted,

"Chang Qing, just accept it. This is a gift your teacher owes, to be returned in the future."

"Besides, he is a Pill Saint, very wealthy, no need to feel sorry for him."

Ye Jingshan smiled and cursed upon hearing this, "You, Shen Bainian, trying to knock some sense into your senior brother?"

Shen Bainian laughed heartily, unaffected.

He understood that Ye Jingshan, although giving a greeting gift, was actually extending goodwill to Chang Qing.

For someone who can completely surpass the Emperor Body, their future achievements are unimaginable.

By leaving a good relationship today, even if Ye Jingshan is gone, his disciples will benefit from it.

"Now that you have the pill furnace, do you have a fire source?" Ye Jingshan asked again.

"A fire source? Can this fire work?"

Chang Qing extended his palm, and a flame as red as blood blazed vigorously.

"Old Wu's life flame?"

Seeing this, Ye Jingshan shook his head, "Life flame is miraculous and possesses incredible power."

"But though it is fire, it has no temperature and cannot refine impurities from the spirit medicine."

He paused for a moment, then waved his hand, and a blue-green flame appeared in his hand.

"If I'm delivering a Buddha, might as well deliver it to the West; I've already given a pill furnace, so a fire source isn't much to spare."

"This fire is called 'Azure Firmament,' it's an Earth Tier superior-grade spirit flame, more than sufficient for your practice."

Chang Qing looked at the two treasures beside him, both could be considered rare and precious, and hesitated.

Unrequited goods should not be accepted.

Feeling he had done nothing to deserve them, he felt guilty accepting them.

Ye Jingshan watched Chang Qing's expression and his eyes showed a hint of appreciation.

Ordinary people, facing such wonders, would likely be ecstatic and disregard anything else.

But Chang Qing could resist temptation and maintain his integrity.

This kind of disposition, in Ye Jingshan's view, was no less than exceptional talent.

"Chang Qing, accept it."

Ye Jingshan looked at Chang Qing, smiled gently, and said, "I don't have much longer to live, can't accompany the young Chu much."

"She is too proud by nature, and I fear she may get into big trouble in the future."

"By then, I don't hope you'll stand up for her; at a critical moment, if you can save her life, I'd be immensely grateful!"

Chu Xi, upon hearing this, immediately panicked, "Old man, what are you saying!"

"What talk of death? Once my divine pill is complete, I will surely make you the strongest life-extending pill in the world!"

Ye Jingshan lovingly ruffled Chu Xi's head but kept his eyes fixed on Chang Qing.

He needed a promise.

This was the retreat he left for Chu Xi in the future!

Chang Qing pondered for a moment upon hearing this.

After a while, he waved his wide sleeves, gathering the pill furnace and fire source.

He looked at Ye Jingshan with a serious expression and solemnly bowed, "I do not know how far I will go in the future."

"But if one day, Junior Sister Chu encounters a crisis and I can help..."

"I pledge to spare no effort to ensure Junior Sister Chu's safety!"

The Pill Saint's favor is very valuable.

But little did they know, Chang Qing's promise was even more invaluable.

"Hahaha, good!"

Ye Jingshan laughed heartily upon hearing this.

He could tell that Chang Qing wasn't speaking lightly, but after serious consideration.

This kind of person, if they do not promise, but once they do, they will certainly keep their word!

"I won't take advantage of you."

Ye Jingshan waved his wide sleeve, taking Chang Qing straight to the depths of the sky,

"I will teach you, the ultimate secret technique of the Alchemy Dao!"
