Chapter 32: The Effect Of Alchemy
"Do you have mastery of alchemy?"
Jin Long was somewhat shocked.
Su Chen nodded.
"Not exactly mastery, but I have some insights."
"Young man, you do have some talent."
"When it comes to alchemy, it is a very rare profession. The old Taoist once said that among all the people in the world who can truly change their physique and even their path to immortality, there are only alchemists!"
Su Chen frowned.
"Who is the old Taoist?"
"Dao Ancestor Zhang Yuanqing!"
Su Chen had heard of Zhang Yuanqing, but he didn't expect Jin Long to know him. Indeed, true experts in cultivation like him had already ascended to the Great Thousand Worlds.
Su Chen brought the topic back to alchemy.
"Tell me, what should I pay attention to in alchemy?"
"You need to pay attention to the materials, the refining methods. Some alchemy requires the infusion of your own cultivation to refine the medicine. At that time, you need to be careful not to lose control."
Jin Long said slowly.
Su Chen understood in his heart and took out the Alchemy Heart Sutra.
As a high-grade treasure at the Profound Tier, this kind of treasure was of high quality even in this Three Thousand Small Worlds.
Su Chen opened the first page of the Alchemy Heart Sutra and began to read.
After the torment of the last chess game, Su Chen's learning ability had undergone a qualitative leap.
Soon, Su Chen grasped the basic methods of alchemy.
He took out the pills given to him by the four major cultivation families and began to study them.
In the following days, Su Chen would have weekends off with Chen Yuwei.
The rest of the time, Su Chen would cultivate under the willow tree in the courtyard, while also studying the art of alchemy.
Su Yue had already been taken back by Senior Sister Li.
Now, Su Chen's cultivation was becoming more and more stable.
Although his cultivation with Chen Yuwei was not as compatible as with Liu Lingyu, his strength was still steadily improving.
Su Chen opened his eyes and woke up from his meditation.
The cultivation of the Heart Nurturing Technique allowed Su Chen to have a deeper understanding of martial arts cultivation.
He was becoming more and more proficient in both cultivation methods.
He picked up a wooden sword and danced vigorously in the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, leaves gathered into a small whirlwind within Su Chen's sword moves.
Su Chen immersed himself in it.
Suddenly, a presence appeared in the courtyard.
"You are a sword cultivator, but the first time I saw you, I thought you were practicing Daoist techniques. Your aura is gentle, like that of a cultivator."
The person who came was Leng Wushuang.
Su Chen turned his head and was momentarily stunned.
Leng Wushuang actually came to find him.
Su Chen walked up and bowed, "Disciple greets the Sect Master!"
Leng Wushuang smiled at the corner of her eyes.
"No need to be so formal."
Su Chen also relaxed his attitude when he heard her voice.
Leng Wushuang asked, "What is your cultivation level?"
Su Chen cupped his hands, "Qi Refining Realm, Great Perfection."
Leng Wushuang nodded.
"As a seed cultivator, this cultivation level is indeed very strong."
Su Chen nodded, neither humble nor arrogant.
"I have also made progress during the weekends with the senior sisters."
When he heard the word "weekends," Leng Wushuang's face blushed slightly.
She looked at Su Chen, who was very handsome, and with his improved cultivation, Su Chen's temperament had also undergone a qualitative change. Even Cold Moon Frost couldn't help but be slightly moved.
"Master, what brings you here?"
"Ah, nothing, I just happened to come and take a look."
"I didn't even know when Veiled Spirit Sect introduced a pharmacist, so I came specially to see."
Su Chen nodded.
"It should be Senior Sister Li who is in charge!"
Apart from Cold Moon Frost, among the female cultivators of Veiled Spirit Sect, Senior Sister Li had the highest cultivation level and seniority.
Cold Moon Frost slightly opened her vermilion lips.
As if she wanted to say something, but didn't say it.
After all, it was difficult for Cold Moon Frost to ask for a day off.
Cold Moon Frost didn't look down on pharmacists, but she felt embarrassed to talk about matters between men and women.
Su Chen understood what Cold Moon Frost was thinking and smiled, "Master, are you also injured like the senior sisters?"
Cold Moon Frost nodded, her face slightly red.
Su Chen continued, "I can heal you, but we have to wait until Senior Sister Chen finishes her treatment."
Su Chen said, then took out a pill.
He handed the pill to Cold Moon Frost, who was slightly stunned.
This pill was not particularly good, but it was still precious.
It was a gift Su Chen received from the four major cultivation families.
For Su Chen, it could consolidate his cultivation, but for someone like Cold Moon Frost, it could only alleviate the recurrence of injuries.
"Do you know how to refine medicine?"
Su Chen smiled.
"A little bit."
Cold Moon Frost looked surprised. Veiled Spirit Sect was so big, but there were very few pharmacists.
She didn't expect Su Chen to know how to refine medicine.
Cold Moon Frost took the pill and carefully observed it.
Su Chen said, "This is a gift from the four major cultivation families. I modified it a bit. I don't know how effective it is."
Cold Moon Frost looked at the pill in her hand and then swallowed it.
This pill was a marrow-nourishing pill, which could consolidate cultivation and enhance spiritual energy.
This yellow-grade marrow-nourishing pill didn't have much effect on someone like Cold Moon Frost.
But there was still some improvement.
However, after Cold Moon Frost swallowed it, her cultivation didn't change at all, and she didn't even feel nourished.
Cold Moon Frost said, "Strange, why don't I feel any improvement in my cultivation?"
She looked at Su Chen and asked, "Did you ruin the effectiveness of this medicine?"
As she spoke, Cold Moon Frost felt a bit disappointed.
She thought that there would be a new pharmacist in Veiled Spirit Sect, but it turned out to be an amateur.
Just as Cold Moon Frost finished speaking, her expression suddenly changed.
Because she could feel that although her cultivation hadn't improved, the severity of her injuries had actually weakened!
Cold Moon Frost looked surprised.
She looked at Su Chen in astonishment and asked, "Did you change the ingredients of this medicine?"
"Yes."
Su Chen nodded.
"I changed the effect of the medicine from enhancing cultivation to healing."
"Because I know that the senior sisters in the sect all have injuries."
Cold Moon Frost's face relaxed, and she asked, "You really care about the senior sisters in the sect."
Su Chen smiled.
"Of course, although I am a pharmacist, I am also a disciple of the sect."
Cold Moon Frost nodded in satisfaction.
But Su Chen suddenly asked, "Master, how is the effect?"
Cold Moon Frost couldn't say for sure, as this level of pill had little effect on a cultivator of her level.
