Chapter 22.1 Engendering Techniques

“Ha…..”

The furnace blazed, increasing the temperature of the room. However, Xie Zhien and the two attendants evidently seemed accustomed to it, not feeling troubled at all.

Xie Mingjin’s body was dripping with sweat. He’d already drunk two big jars of water but to no avail.

He Yiming, on the other hand, was attentively watching their every movement, as if committing all of their actions into his memory.

Actually, He Yiming’s emotions were quite aroused at the moment. Before opening the furnace, Xie Zhien had told him that to become a distinguished alchemist, one needed to possess exceedingly high innate talent. This talent, in addition to possessing a high comprehensibility about medicines, also referred to an imperative possession of fire and wood- these two types of Internal Energy attributes.

Of course, if you possessed three kinds, even among the alchemists, you would be seen as an extremely rare kind of alchemist and would be deemed as a pioneer of alchemy.

Be it Grand Extension country or various countries of northwest, all of the reputed Xiantian alchemists were at least fire and wood dual-attributed, powerful characters. As for the three attributed alchemists, their success rate in refining was beyond comparison.

This introduction naturally moved He Yiming.

Suddenly, Xie Mingjin, who stood beside him, spoke in a low voice, “Brother He, are you getting it?”

He Yiming blankly turned his head and honestly said, “No.”

Xie Mingjin was quite surprised as he asked, “Were the books I left for you not detailed enough, or you actually didn’t read them at all?”

He Yiming whispered, “I have read them, but couldn’t quite understand.”

Indeed. The dao of alchemy was a unique subject. He Yiming could understand the written characters independently, but the words, phrases, and sentences they const.i.tuted had simply gone above his head.

After copying, He Yiming flipped through the pages again and again but still couldn’t get the gist of it and had no choice but to leave it alone.

Xie Mingjin blankly stared, then smilingly said, “I understand. Take out your stuff, I will teach you.”

He Yiming was thrilled and immediately took out the copies. While he was copying, he’d specifically separated the parts pertaining to the refining process with that of recipes. Thus, at this moment, his hand only held a tiny amount of pages.

Xie Mingjin had the fortune of being born into the Xie family. He’d been in contact with these things since childhood. Although his alchemy lacked far behind his seventh grandfather’s, his basics were quite strong.

After being explained to by Xie Mingjin, He Yiming felt enlightened.

The old man and the two attendants turned a blind eye on their whisperings and treated them like air.

After seven full days, a rich aroma pervaded the chamber. However, currently, alchemy was no longer greek to He Yiming. He immediately understood that the gold core was about to be taken out of the furnace.

Xie Zhien’s movements were as quick as lightning, enough to make anyone wonder how many times had he done this throughout his life. Barely relying on his perception, he could tell the condition of the core in the furnace.

As he eventually opened the furnace, his expression turned exceedingly grave, as if he wasn’t lifting the cover of the furnace, but the entire heavens and earth, causing He Yiming to feel admiration from the bottom of his heart. This was an expression which could only appear on the face of a person who had completely immersed his entire being into a certain occupation.

With a roar, the old man eventually removed the cover.
