Chapter 57 : Alchemy Master, This Was Only A Hobby (1)
In the end, Elder Sun had followed Li Qi Ye’s suggestion, and he stopped feeding his Heavenly Cauldron with the Fire Dragon Plant; he started paying a high price for Amicable River Fire Plant, instead.
Sure enough, after one month, Elder Sun excitedly came to the Lonely Peak. At this moment, he had forgotten his status as an elder, and he was like a little boy; extremely happy, he said:
“Done, it’s truly done. Currently, the blood energy is flowing, and the medicinal property of the Heavenly Cauldron is stronger as well.”
Regarding this result, Li Qi Ye only had a smile. Medicinal properties, Heavenly Cauldrons, the Dao of alchemy… This area, if he claimed to be number two, then since the beginning of time, no one would dare claim to be number one!
Li Qi Ye’s nonchalant expression caused Elder Sun to change his demeanor. If this was another disciple that were to be praised by an elder like this, they would surely be extremely pleased; however, to Li Qi Ye, this form of appreciation was only the daily norms.
“When you first joined the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, you had already learned the Dao of alchemy?”
Elder Sun couldn’t help but change his expression, and his heart became appreciative of his talents. At this point, he was reminded of the first elder. In recent times, the disheartened first elder had suddenly regained his fiery ambition and supported Li Qi Ye. It seemed as if Li Qi Ye was truly worth grooming. Before, they underestimated Li Qi Ye, or, towards this disciple with a Mortal Physique, Mortal Life Wheel, and Mortal Face Palace; they thought he was essentially worthless!
Li Qi Ye only smiled once, and he said:
“I only accidentally read some manuals; it was not enough for the Dao.”
“This still isn’t enough for the Dao?”
Elder Sun immediately became silent. Li Qi Ye, regarding medicinal properties, had a complete understanding. Regarding his Heavenly Cauldron, his explanation could be considered to be uniquely exhaustive! Even Elder Sun would be ashamed of being compared to Li Qi Ye!
Elder Sun couldn’t help but say:
“If you meet any difficulties with cultivation, you could think about practicing the Dao of alchemy a little bit. With your insight of medicinal properties, I truly think highly of you. Who knows, you could even be the second Alchemy God!”
Elder Sun was extremely optimistic of Li Qi Ye’s outcome. From his perspective, Li Qi Ye might be a cultivation piece of trash; however, if he was willing to step into the Dao of alchemy, he could be a genius medicinist!
“Alchemy God?”
Another familiar name was mentioned by others, and Li Qi Ye couldn’t help but smirk.
Elder Sun was afraid that Li Qi Ye didn’t know who the “Alchemy God” was, so he hastily added:
“The Alchemy God could be called the Primogenitor of all alchemists; one could say, the majority of dan refinement processes were created by him. Some even said, the name ‘Heavenly Cauldron’ was coined by him. During the Desolate Era, it all began with him creating a completed dan refining process; his contribution to the Dao of alchemy is incomparable by anyone else. It would not be an exaggeration to say that, since the ancient past to now, he has one of the highest achievements regarding the Dao of alchemy!”
As Elder Sun talked about the Alchemy God, Li Qi Ye couldn’t help but reveal a small smile. Alchemy God eh? He couldn’t be more familiar as this was a very good part of his memory.
That old little boy was indeed a genius at the Dao of alchemy; this point, no matter how much time had passed, even when Li Qi Ye was the Dark Crow, he would still have to admit.
Li Qi Ye with a smiling face; Elder Sun bringing up the Alchemy God caused him to reminisce some of the past during the Desolate Era. It was a time of many moons that were worthy of remembrance. During this era, he brought this old little boy to invade the Nine Worlds, going across the Forbidden Ground and Immortal Land. During those many moons, they used to eat so many pills for the sake of pill creations; they had created countless methods of dan refinement, and they had brought to light countless pill formulas. They had grown so many spirit plants that other people wouldn’t even dare to think about…
There were many moons brimming with excitement and danger. During those years, there were many creations, there many dangerous pill testing, there were even more explorations! During those many moons, when he was the Dark Crow, he had planned countless of times against the Heaven and Earth, countless of times ambushed powerful giants, and countless of times bathed the nine heavens and ten earths in blood! However, there were not many moons that could make him as sentimental like those years spent with the Alchemy Master.[1]
During those many years, there was a lot more love for learning; the time of killing and the scent of blood was a lot less.
Since the ancient ages till now, whether it was alchemists or cultivators, they both thought that the Alchemy God was the pinnacle of the Dao of alchemy. This wasn’t only because he was peerless regarding pill creation, but more importantly, he created a complete system of the Alchemy Dao! For the Alchemy Dao, he created an immortal foundation!
In reality, no one knew; the foundation of the Alchemy Dao wasn’t just formulated by the Alchemy God alone. In this matter, there was also a Dark Crow that no one knew about, innovating new paths in the Alchemy Dao, and creating rules for the Alchemy Dao; the Dark Crow no one knew about had a huge contribution!
One could say that, without this Dark Crow, there would be no Alchemy God. Of course, this secret, no descendants knew about.
Thinking about those years, Li Qi Ye’s heart couldn’t help but let out a long sigh. If he had any regrets, his biggest regret would be that he had lost his memories regarding the world’s most precious alchemy manual. Once these memories were erased, there was no way to get it back. The reason was simple, he couldn’t find this alchemy manual later on. Even if it was only an incomplete part, he still couldn’t find it.
Regarding this matter, Li Qi Ye discretely shook his head. The old little boy, that year, was a madman. After becoming the Alchemy God, Li Qi Ye had reminded him to find a disciple in order to pass down his heritage. However, this old little boy went crazy; even though he left behind many valuable dan manuals for his descendants, but the most valuable one that was coveted by people was missing!
Li Qi Ye knew, this crazy old man did it intentionally. He, in the end, did not want to pass down this alchemy manual!
As Li Qi Ye was reminiscing, his stunned expression made Elder Sun mistake that Li Qi Ye was thinking about being an Alchemy God; that he had been successfully convinced by Elder Sun.
“How about switching to the Alchemy Dao? If you really want to switch to the Alchemy Dao, I will teach you my entire life’s knowledge! In the future, you will become the strongest alchemy master in our sect. Later on, you could climb to the elder’s seat, or even the sect master’s seat; this matter would be as easy as turning your palm!”
Elder Sun couldn’t help but to urge Li Qi Ye even more because he saw the potential of Li Qi Ye!
